Export word to pdf and maintain font color inside tables

Hello,
I'm strugling with producing a PDF from Word document and keep the red colored text inside excel tables that are on the Word document.
From excel I copy the tables to Word 2007, with "Paste special --> Paste link as Microsoft Office Excel 2003 worksheet object".
In Word all the colors and objects are fine. The problem happens when I try to produce a PDF from that. The red and blue text inside the tables appears with black color on the PDF.
This happens always. With MsOffice Save as PDF, with Acrobat 9 save as Adobe PDF, print Adobe PDF and with free PDF Creator.
I've attached the *.doc and *.xls where this problem is occuring.

If anyone knows the cause of this problem please let me know.
Thanks

Solution found. For the pdf printers to work correctly it is necessary to adjust the format when copying from excel. That option needs to be enabled in advanced:

Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Create PDF from webpage font color turns white

While using Create PDF from a web page the text in the final PDF is colored white so I cannot see it. Italicized text remains black and is find. However, the font color of standard text is turned white. I know the text is there because I can use the text editing tool to copy the text out into notepad. This problem occurs with Adobe Acrobat X and XI. However, when I use Adobe Acrobat VIII there is not problem. Furthermore, with the website I am converting to PDF the problem only happens if I try to convert the entire site, which is about 1,100 pages. If I stop the job half way, the font color remains fine.
Any ideas?

Under the Settings... button in the Create PDF from web page dialog, do you have the checkbox selected for "Force These Settings for All Pages"?

Exporting InDesign to PDF: resolution output / Distiller Color Management

Specs:
Power PC G5, Mac OS X 10.4.11
InDesign Middle Eastern Version CS3
Acrobat 9.0
Distiller 9.0
Thanks to anyone who can answer any of these questions for me.
I am sending files to a printer who has requested either PDF files directly from InDesign (file-export) or run through Distiller then into Acrobat
(default setting of “PDF/X-1a:2001”).
Question 1: Resolution
They also have the instructions "PDF Output resolution should be set to 600dpi." Is this referring to the Compression pane (Bicubic Downsampling to 300)? I called the printer to confirm if this is what they were referring to, but was told they don't answer questions about making PDFs and that's why they encourage people to use their in-house designers.)
Question 2: Color Management
For the Distiller/Acrobat option, they have an instructional PDF which I followed, but on the Color Management Pane, they choose the option for Color Handling: "Let InDesign Determine Colors" and the Output color is Composite Gray. But when I get to the color handling option, I only have 2 options: "let PostScript determine" or "no color management." How do I get the InDesign option?
Question 3: Grayscale Text
Another requirement is that the "Interior text should be submitted as grayscale only." In Acrobat I can preflight and change to grayscale. But will solving the problem of #2 in creating a PostScript file take care of this?
Question 4: Error in Distiller
I get this error when I open Distiller: "Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2007.joboptions:
/CheckCompliance out of range" However, the Postscript file goes through just fine as far as I can tell. I found a forum post on this and the basic idea seemed to be "ignore it." Is that a correct interpretation?

1: This, only down samples your resolutions so they are capped. You would need to make sure your Links are 600dpi or better. (TECHNICALLY this is PPI). Now normally I wouldn't hard *** someone over the difference, but considering there is NO DPI setting I'm aware of (again its PPI) pointing out their error may just get them to explain a bit more what they mean.
2: You can not create an X1a compliant greyscale file.
3: I would guess here they simply mean don't use rich black or multiplate text. This would be due to registration. Just stick to K (black only) and you should be fine.
4: I would not even use distiller for this, stick with Export to PDF.
To be honest this part
I called the printer to confirm if this is what they were referring to, but was told they don't answer questions about making PDFs and that's why they encourage people to use their in-house designers.)
Would have me looking elseware ASAP. The answer would have taken two seconds from anyone whose head wasn't firmly planted south of their shoulders.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

Trying to convert word to pdf and getting error message using Ver. 7

I what sent a word doc by a correspondent of mine which I tried to convert to a pdf. I right clicked the doc on my desk top and chose "convert to PDF". It looked as it has all the other times but after it had opened word it came up with an error window/message of "Missing PDFmaker files." "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" and then a yes or no button. If I hit no it closes everything if I hit yes it acts like it's installing something and after a while it tells me that the computer needs to be restarted for changes to take affect. I have run it twice now and it doesn't change anything.
can someone give me any tips on this?

You did not indicate the version of WORD. If it is WORD 2007, then you can not do this function with AA7. Try opening the file in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, then look for the PDF Maker options in WORD (create PDF). If you find them, then try that. If they do not show but the print worked, then you indeed have an issue with PDF Maker - probably either the macro is not activated in WORD or the version of WORD is 2007.

Export PSD to PDF and retain text

I know that you can export a PSD to PDF by printing the document with something like NovaPDF, however, doing so will result in a PDF that has no text - it appears the text has been rasterized and the PDF document is just a series of images. Is there a way to export a PSD to a PDF and retain the text blocks? This would be very helpful in that the PDF can be indexed, or so that the Find feature works on the document in Adobe Reader.
Thanks!

Don't worry. On some versions, it's not that easy to spot. Most Save_As will have Photoshop PSD at the top, then drop down alphabetically, so that Photoshop PDF is amongst the "P's." Sometimes I have to squint to see it and have paniced, when I could not initially find it tucked away.
Good luck,
Hunt

Converting from Word to PDF and printer settings

I have a program that writes letters automatically in Word and if we have a PDF file as an enclosure when the letter prints, it actually converts the word document as a whole to a PDF. This part works great, however, when the letter begins with Word we have the Page setup for the printer to print the first page on letterhead (tray 1) and all pages after to plain paper (tray 2). When the word document converts to pdf, it is printing everything from tray 1 which is letterhead.
Is there any way to convert a document to pdf and keep the page settings as well?
Thanks for any input!

Don't have an answer. However, you might consider creating the WORD document so that the letterhead is built in and you do not need the paper.

Red Font Color in Table Class Interface

Hi SDN community,
Do you know what the exact ABAP Syntax in the Table Class interface, and in which METHOD we would place to change the font colour of numbers to red colour.
And would be also possible to change the number to have brackets around it, to make it proper accounting notation.
I would not want to lose context sensitivity of the numbers.
Thank you.
Simon

Word to PDF does not keep hyperlinks in Table of Contents ?

I have used my free trial of Adobe CreatePDF before purchasing the annual subscription.
I was surprised to see that the PDF document did not keep the clickable hyperlinks that Word uses in a Table of Contents. As this is the exact same behaviour as the "Save as PDF ..." option that I have natively available on my computer I don't see the point of paying a subscription to the service. Or am I doing something wrong?
MAC OS X Lion (10.7.2)
Office for Mac 2011
150-page .doc document with Section, Chapter, and various Heading Styles defined
WORD automatically-built Table of Contents
In the WORD document, the page numbers in the Table of Contents are hyperlinks to the concerned page
Convert WORD to PDF using "Save as PDF ..." option in the "Print..." dialog box
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Convert WORD to PDF using Adobe CreatePDF
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Am I missing something or is this the way it is intended (not) to work?
P.S.: I know that, on the MAC, I can use Preview to manipulate the PDF document I obtain through "Print..." > "Save as PDF...". One of the things I can do is to select the page numbers in the Table of Contents and add a 'link' to each. But this is a VERY cumbersome process. Actually, I have to create a link for each page number, one at a time, on a table of contents that may consist of in excess of 50 entries. As I have a collection of 50-odd documents and am on a schedule of distributing new versions every two weeks or so, this procedure is completely unusable. Hence my search for a (paid) service that converts my documents while preserving the hyperlinks of the Word-created Table of Contents. Either I am doing something wrong or such service does simply not exist ...

Good day fgrexsg,
You are correct in that the workflow you described will not produce links in the resulting PDF files. The steps that Lori outlined work great if you're working on Office for Windows in terms of getting the links to work when converting using the CreatePDF service.
In order to make this work on the Mac, you'll have to take a few extra steps within Office first.
You're going to have to repeat this step for each item in your TOC. While this will be time-consuming for a 150-page document, it will work.
Within your TOC, highlight the entire entry listing (e.g. Topic 1.........3)
Once the entire line is highlighted, choose Insert > Hyperlink
Click 'Document' to select a location within the current document.
Under the 'Anchor' option, either type in the Heading/Sub-heading (must be exact) of the page you want the hyperlink to attach to or click 'Locate' and find the proper Heading/Sub-heading within the structure.
As I said, this will probably be time-consuming on such a large document, but it will work.
Unfortunately Office for Mac just simply isn't as full-featured as its Windows counterpart.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,

Indesign CS3 - export to PDF and keep RGB colors

I'm trying to export from InDesign to a pfd file that contains the original RGB colors of an imported image. The imported image is RGB and is from Illustrator CS3. I've tried changing the output color options in the export dialogue box but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work so that the original RGB colors are preserved. Can someone please help?

P. Marlowe, you're correct. Use PDF/X-4 to support live transparency used by the Adobe PDF Print Engine RIPs. PDF/X-4 supports the same color spaces as PDF/X-3 but keeps them device-independent when there is transparency.

Exporting PDFs and maintaining double-page spread format

I've combined a large number of individual PDF files (created in InDesign) for print. Now I would like to create an iBook with these pages. I've created a PDF file for use on an iPad but how do I maintain the double-page spread format? I can view this successfully in Acrobat but not in iBooks. Can anyone help?
Thanks
F

This is best addressed in either an iBooks forum on the Apple website or InDesign. For use in iBooks you might be best off using a format other than pdf.

Exporting as a PDF with missing fonts - help please?

Hi,
I am using Windows In Design CS4 and an agency provided us with a template via Mac OSX.
Some of the fonts they used appear to be missing on Windows (mainly the ITC bookman family), I open the file anyway. When I export it to a PDF the PDF appears for the most part to be the same, despite the missing fonts.
My questions are:
Is the copy now just a closest match chosen by In Design (I think it may be using Bookman Old Style? If not, what is stopping me using font inserted by an external agency?
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the ITC bookman family?
I appreciate your help; I’m a beginner who has to teach himself!!
Neil

Bookman Oldstyle should be a very close match (if that is, indeed, what's getting substituted). I wouldn't bother buying ITC Bookman, unless you have to roundtrip your files with the agency. Substituting fonts and checking line endings would get old fast.
So you can be sure of what's getting substituted, go to Type > Find Font, find all usages of ITC Bookman and replace them with Bookman Oldstyle. It seems like you have a PDF from the agency, so you can compare a few substitutions and see if anything changed. You should expect line endings in running copy (long paragraphs) to change slightly.
If you really feel the need to buy ITC Bookman, I would just buy it from ITC (http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/detail.aspx?PID=201890). Their price is not going to be much different than anyone else's. Check with the agency to make sure they have Type 1 ITC Bookman, not Opentype ITC Bookman, and then buy the same format they have. It's even possible they have a Truetype version. You would want to match it exactly, so you would have to buy the same font that they have, but in PC format instead of Mac format.
