Gray box for logo generating pdf from fm book

Greetings,
I have a large FrameMaker book that I've generated pdfs from a million times. We cleaned up our logo, so I dropped it in and tried to generate the usual pdf. a gray box resulted for the logo only. all other artwork displayed fine. i tried scaling down the logo, changing formats, changing import methods, etc. all failed. however, generating a pdf from the book if I remove a few chapters gives me my logo. Am I running out of resources? I'm using tech comm suite 1.3 on vista. There are no clues in the acrobat log. show large images is turned on in the adobe reader.
I used the obvious workaround: generated two pdfs, one with just the logo page and one with the rest of the book, then combined them. But this process is not practical long term. Any clues?

A couple questions:
What format is the new logo file?
Given that it works with some component files, but not in the book... I'd guess that it may be a resource issue. How much RAM and free space do you have?
And when you "dropped it in," does that mean imported into one file by reference, or copied in, or imported into a template that you used to update all files in the book..... or something else? And if it did update multiple files, did you double-check them to make sure the path to the graphic is correct?

Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
Please advise.

We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

Error upon generating PDF from Frame book

I am working on a book in Frame that I have converted MANY times into a PDF. However, today, for some reason, it isn't working. I get the following message:
OffendingCommand: pdfmark; ErrorInfo: StOBJ --nostringval-- ]%%
Does anyone know what this string means? I'd like to know so i can go in and fix whatever is wrong.
I am using Frame 7.0 with Acrobat Pro 8.0 - on OS XP Pro
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks...

I'm assuming that this has worked OK in the past.
Try looking in Word > Help > About > Disabled Items.
Beyond that I'm not sure what to suggest as you have tried a reinstall. RoboPDF did have problems and when it was a Macromedia product they did offer FlashPaper as a free replacement.
Unless someone else or Google come up with something, I think using one of the free PDF programs is probably going to be your easiest option.
Later versions of RH come with a different PDF program.

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

Generating PDF from Microsoft Word with C#

Hello,
We have created web-based system for a customer that stores/handles Microsoft word documents and provides these to users as PDF versions. Unfortunately some problems appear with our third-party component that generates PDF from Word. Our customer has previously used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to manually generate the PDF files and is confident that the output produced this way is valid. Despite searching and reading a lot I can't find any way to determine if (and how) it is possible to automate the process of generating a PDF file from a Microsoft word file using the Adobe engine. There is a lot of SDK documentation, how to control PDF rendering in winforms applications etc. etc. All I want to do is to load an Adobe Acrobat instance, feed it with a word document and save it as a PDF on disk. From a C# app (ASP.NET). Is that possible?
Best regards
Jan Hansen

As mentioned, you can probably send the DOC file to the Adobe PDF printer to create the file. What I keep reading in your post is a legal issue. You keep mentioning being able to create the PDF on a server automatically. The server use of Acrobat is a violation of the EULA. If you are creting the files off-line for posting as has been done, there should not be a problem. However, having these created in an automated manner by the user may be an issue. Before you go much further, I would check with legal counsel about the use of Acrobat in the way you intend. If they indicate there is a problem, then your question is not needed.
Back to the issue. Try just dropping a DOC file on the Adobe PDF printer icon (you may have to open the Start>Printers to do that. See if that creates the PDF. If so, you will just need to automate that process.

Generating PDF from MSWord--IsTable of Content Updated?

Hello,
In generating PDF from MSWord document does the Adobe process call a method on the MSWord object to update the TOC field in the Word document during the generation process. Or is it assumed that the table of content in the Word document is always updated. If the table of content field is not current, field error message can appear in the Word document and the page number for
the link can contain inaccurate values.
Thank you,
Jesse

It is assumed the TOC is up to date.

How to generate PDF from template via REST query

Hello. I'm newbie in Adobe LiveCycle, will appreciate any help.
What we need: generate PDF from template, using different data.
What we have: LiveCycle Designer and server with deployed Adobe LiveCycle ES 2.5 image.
Looks like server works and listen 8080.
In Livecycle Designer I can generate XML (XDP) from PDF, so I can change this XML in PHP/Python/Go script to fill template with data.
I'm looking for some REST method, where I can give that XML (XDP) and recieve generated PDF in response.
I've spent whole to for googling all these things, found a lot of docs, but all is very complicated there. Also, examples from just doesn't work - maybe I have to do something on server before calling REST API method.
Please, push me into right direction

Your best bet is to probably create an orchestration (or "process" in Adobe speak) that accepts two document parameters, calls LiveCycle Forms (or Output depending on whether you want to interactive or non-interactive PDF), and returns the resulting document variable.
The orchestration will return a redirect that will point you to the document object.
See Invoking LiveCycle using REST Requests, and Creating Your First LiveCycle ES4 Application.

I am able to generate PDF from Framemaker file but not able to generate pdf from book in robohelp

Hi,
Using robo help i am able to generate pdf from a single framemaker file.
but when i am importing whole book then i am not able to make it.
And also it is not showing any error on console
It goes to hang like situation and i have to close it from task maneger.

Ok, silly question - why are you bothering to try and create PDFs from RH when you've got FM? FM to PDF produces great results; RH to PDF involves having to go through Word - i.e. RH - Word - PDF = too much work IMHO.

Generate PDF From Database

Hi,
I have a table in database. Table has a column. There is data of pathes of images into column. I cretaed a illustrator template and I want to generate PDF from this template with using table data in database. so, is it possible? illustrator created pdf per each image with using illustrator template.
thanks,

AI cannot conent directly to databases. It can only parse CSV/ XML data. You either need to export the stuff or create extensive scripts to connect to the life database using sockets.

How can I download books as PDFs from Google Books ?

I used to be able to download books as PDFs from Google Books (Full View) until about 12 months ago. However, now when I click the PDF link, I get a dialog box that says "You have selected a PDF file (12 Kb), and it offers me options for download or opening. It's the Nitro PDF tool. If I do download a file it's always 12 Kb and it's not a valid PDF file. Most of the books, I'm looking at should be over 10 Mb, and all previously downloaded books were over 5 Mb.
I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 3.5.19, and PDF Download from NitroPDF.
Is there an add-on that will give me back the ability to download files ?
or is there a conflict with something else that is preventing PDF Download from working ?
I can't see anything on NitroPDF's site about the add-on.

Uninstall/Disable NitroPDF.

Check and tell if its working when you try to download a PDF file using Firefox Safe Mode.

Export PDF from InDesign Book

Hi, I have a customer that has huge problems to export PDFs from InDesign Books. He has books with many documents with a total amount of 500-700 pages, when he try to export a PDF InDesign quit unexpectedly. I wrote a script for him that export the PDF from the book without the progress bar, and sometimes it solves the problem but sometimes not, and I have a "out of memory" message. He must export multiple PDF from the same book and then merge those PDF with Acrobat but he has also interactivity sometimes and it's a nightmare to merge PDFs with interactive objects and bookmarks. Someone of you have experienced the same problem (and maybe has a solution)? Thank you

It seems that InDesign saturate the available RAM during the operation of gathering information before start to export, if I restart InDesign each time and export a selection of documents it works. I'm exporting now two separate PDF and it seems to work, but again only if I close and restart InDesign before exporting, I'm working on an iMac with an Intel 2.93 GHz i7 and a total of 8 GB RAM.

Printing PDF from LR4 Book Module

I am having a difficult time getting accurate color when printing a PDF Book file genetrated by the Book Module in LR4.
I've tried exporting the PDF with a Pro Photo profile, but when I open the file and try and print in Adobe Reader I can't figure out how to select an approriate output paper profile as is done in LR or Photoshop. Doesn't seem to be a way to tell Adobe Reader to manage the color. I can turn off having the printer manage the color in the Adobe Reader printer dialog screen, but have no idea what profile Adobe Reader is using when it sends the file to the printer. I get somewhat accurate color but well off that produced by a direct LR4 print.
I've also tried exporting the PDF from the Book Module with the appropriate printer/paper profile chosen as the "Color Profile" (e.g. Canon iPF8300 Premium Semi-Glossy paper 2 280 (high)) and then printing from Adobe Reader with color management turned off in the printer and get decent color but still does not match up with the accurate colors produced by LR4 or CS5 using the same paper profile. My guess is Adobe Reader is not just passing the file on but is changing something before sending to my iPF8300 printer.
Is there a more color aware program I can use to print these PDF's? Am I missing something really obvious here?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Conrad

When you open Lightroom and go to the Book Module the first time, it must do two things:
1. The Book module has a more sophisticated text engine than the other modules and it must load fonts that are installed on the system into memory. The more fonts on your system the greater the potential delay.
2. To a greater extent, when you first open the Book module, all of the page-templates must load into memory for access. Once loaded, they do not need to be loaded again until you close Lightroom.
No matter how much processor or Ram you have will not appreciably affect these two operations. They are purely disk-read operations and are primarily limited by your disk data path.
Map Module requires interface with the internet to access Maps.
Web and Slideshow can be sped up by not having large numbers of available images standing by to render. Keeping the toolbar set to "Selected Images Only" rather than "All Filmstrip Images" helps this.

Generating PDF from drawing files

Hi Support Team,
I am using the Acrobat XI Pro to generating PDFs directly from AutoCAD electrical Drawing files (".dwg"). AutoCAD electrical software is not installed on this computer.
I am having the following two problems:
1, For some drawings, the generated PDF are not scaled to fit on one page. They are split into two pages and not displayed properly.
2, In the AutoCAD electrical drawing, we use different line colors for certain application, at the moment the generated PDFs are also colorful. Is there a way I can get black and white (not gray scaled, because it's not clear) color in the PDF files?
Kind Regards,
Andy

I am not sure, but believe that AutoDesk must be installed on your system to do the conversion. You might refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f73.w .html which suggests that the application may open for the conversion. You might wait around for someone else who can confirm or deny this conclusion, but my guess is you have to have AutoDesk to do the conversion.
