Imorted barcode graphics in FrameMaker 10 are not displaying properly in my PDFs

I have imported barcode graphics (that were embedded in a Microsoft 1997 Word document and I don't have the original imported images) into FrameMaker 10. However, when I create a pdf and view it in Adobe Reader 10 or Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 and then print the document, the barcodes will not scan. Some of the barcodes are code 39. If I print the FrameMaker document, the barcodes don't scan either. The barcode graphics also don't display properly in Microsoft Word, but they scan fine from the Word document and the pdf. I can get the barcodes to display properly in Word if I right-click on the barcode and select Edit Picture.
I have tried importing the Word document into FrameMaker, making bitmap images of the barcodes in Photoshop and then importing them into FrameMaker and trying to do a special paste into FrameMaker. However, the barcodes still don't look right, print right or scan at all.
I don't have a lot of experience with barcodes, graphics or FrameMaker, so any light that can be shed on this issue is appreciated.

OK, to simplify this a bit, a barcode is not an exotic specie -- it's just
a graphic file. If you embed a crisp .PNG or .PDF in FM it should print
correctly, no matter what the subject matter is.
What I'd do is either:
   - Select the graphics in Word and Save As Image to export them (or just
   save the Word file as HTML -- it'll write out the graphics as .JPGs, but at
   least they'll be there. Or
   - if the barcodes have a legend on them (usually numbers on the bottom
   of the code) just go to any of the online Bar Code generation sites and
   pump them in to get a fresh graphic.
Then:
   1. Save or convert the graphic to something besides a .jpg. --- a .png
   or PDF -- In Photoshop or another editing program, bump the resolution to
   300 dpi or so for print quality resolution. If necessary, convert it to
   black and white and clean up any grey edges.
   2. Import into Frame.
   3. Print to the Adobe Acrobat logical printer; don't use SaveAsPDF. Pick
   a job option that doesn't apply .jpg compression to images -- it'd be
   better not to downsample them at all.

  • Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

    Hello:
    Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

    Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
    Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
    Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
    There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
    The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
    Good luck,

  • Pages are not displaying properly

    Hi
    I am using EP 7.0 SP 7.0. Some of the pages (like new ivew creartion page, Identity management page under User Administration etc.) are not displaying properly. The background is showing totally white and only the buttons and text are visible.
    Though these pages were working fine before.
    Is there any configuration change which is causing this?
    Any suggestion ??????

    Hi,
    SAP recommends to use fully qualified domain names, when using the portal.
    For example, to enter into the portal use "http://machine_name.company_name.com/irj/portal., instead of "http://machine_name/irj/portal". 
    Failing to do so may lead to inconsistency in communication on client side between the page and iViews.

  • Pictures and texts are not displayed properly

    Hello Apple users,
    I've the 15 inch Macbook Pro with retina display, running Mountain Lion. I have noticed that when I chat with my friends in Facebook, the texts in the chat window are not displayed properly. This also happens when flipping through photos that were uploaded in Facebook. Also, pictures are not displayed properly in other websites. For example, today I was reading the news in the Guardian when I noticed that the top bar and a picture weren't displayed properly. The top bar should have showed News, Sports, Comment, Culture, Pensions, etc. all in the same line. Also look at the photo titiled "Should building socities do buy-to-let?" I took a screenshot from the guardian and you can see the photo here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByQ7VP0wjFM-U0ZIOXlwMm13Vnc/edit?usp=sharing
    Do you guys have any suggestions how can I fix these issues?
    Thanks for reading and your help

  • OLE Objects are not displayed properly-overlap characters and empty page

    I'm using CR4E 12 Runtime libraries to load and view reports that are created in CR designer  v10. Some of the OLE Objects (not all) are not displayed properly.
    1) A full page contains terms and conditions as ole object is not at all displayed and just shown as black image.
    2) Some data in a table (OLE Object) shown as overlapped characters.
    Any body know the reason and is there any workaround to solve this issue?
    Thankyou very much for your time.

    Your problem seems to be with the character encoding you are using for your text.  A quick google search for ColdFusion character encoding should turn up the answer.  In case you are interested in learning more:

    Close all open IE windows and then start IE and try again.
    Post consumer questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com (Help>Online Support menu from IE.)... at the answers forum you have to select what version of windows and IE you are using with your question...

  • In XML Output the values of Number column tags are not displayed properly

    Hi,
    Our Client have been using AR Invoice Print Program for a long time and it is heavily customized. Also they are using an old version of the RDF. So we have taken the latest version of the RDF (RAXINV.rdf) for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 by raising a SR and implement Client's old RAXINV.rdf into it.
    All was ok, but when we are running the program, the XML Output did not generate properly. For the Q_INVOICE query (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and G_INV_TERM group), the value of some of the scaler number columns are not appeared properly. The tags are coming correctly, but the value is appearing as '*', instead of the correct value. We have checked in the RDF Level (By putting srw.message and check in the log file) that those columns are having proper value. So there is no issue with the RDF.
    But because of the above mentioned problem, the some of the PDF output field values also is not generated correctly.
    I think that because of the lexical parameters which was implementing the Q_INVOICE query (&COMMON_QUERY) this issue is coming. Because the issue is only in the Q_INVOICE query group (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and in G_INV_TERM group) not in any other query group.
    There is no problem with the scaler character columns. The issue is only with the number columns.
    Also we have checked that if we hardcode the value of the number columns in the above mentioned lexical parameter, this problem doesn't appear.
    If we put TO_CHAR function to those number columns in the lexical parameter (COMMON_QUERY), then this issue get solved. But we can't do it because of performance issue and also Client won't approve it.
    Please help.
    With Thanks and Regards

    I don't know how to read the code you pasted or I would have checked this myself.
    Do your fields in the internal table reference dictionary objects or elementary types? If not using dictionary types, the column names will be blank by default. If you can't change your fields to be dictionary types, you can try this to change the column names:
    I made a method inside my local class to add the names:
            call method set_colname
              EXPORTING iv_tab = alv_tab
                        iv_colid = 'xxxx'  "fieldname from the table
                        iv_stxt = text-t54
                        iv_mtxt = text-t55
                        iv_ltxt = text-t55.
    METHOD set_colname .
      data:
              alv_cols type REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
              alv_col type REF TO cl_salv_column.
      TRY .
    *... Change fieldnames
            call METHOD iv_tab->get_columns RECEIVING value = alv_cols.
            call method alv_cols->get_column EXPORTING columnname = iv_colid RECEIVING value = alv_col.
            IF iv_stxt <> ''.
              CALL METHOD alv_col->set_short_text EXPORTING value = iv_stxt.
            ENDIF.
            IF iv_mtxt <> ''.
              CALL METHOD alv_col->set_medium_text EXPORTING value = iv_mtxt.
            ENDIF.
            IF iv_ltxt <> ''.
              CALL METHOD alv_col->set_long_text EXPORTING value = iv_ltxt.

  • Ads are not displaying properly in Safari, v 4.0.5

    I am having an odd problem with display ads from our local newspaper not displaying properly on my Mac Pro in Safari. I suspect that the issue might be related to having had some AdBlock app on my system a few months ago. I removed the app and some ads display, but others are just a white block with nothing inside. Is there any way to figure out why the content doesn't load?
    The website is http://www.echopress.com
    The ads I'm having issues with are the 300x250 ads in the right 3rd column, located directly below the weather info and above the "marketplace" ads.
    Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?
    Thanks,
    Grady
    Oh, why do I wanna see em in the first place? I'm an advertiser on the site and would like to see my own ads load occasionally.

    Hey ho, Grady!
    I can see all the ads on the right,
    with the exception of the very top (first) box
    which has the header of "Weather Alerts).
    It's blank, and I'm assuming you have no alerts at the present.
    All the rest of the paid for ads show.
    So, what I would do is clear my Safari cache, history, and
    in Preferences>Security, clear all the cookies from that site.
    Hope this helps.
    If you need more info just holler.
    Let us know how you're doing, OK?

  • Smartforms - Chinees characters are not displayed properly

    Hi,
    The chineese characters are not displayed propery when logged in EN in the logon screen, but we are able to see Chineese characters when logged in with ZH - chineese in the logon screen. This is happening for Sales order and Purchase order and for Japan also we fee see the same issue.
    -Regards,

    Hi,
    It is a printer issue. The printer needs to be configured to support the Chinese chanracter set.
    Normally when we are able to view the chinese characters properly in the print preview but not properly displayed on the output it is surely a printer problem.
    This kind of problem we faced many times.

    Hi Tapan,
    Try using "Hide or Rename Columns(projection)".
    This allows you to rearrange the order of columns in file and also to rename the descriptions as needed.

  • Quarters are not displayed properly in the reports

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing some troubles while loading data from PeopleSoft Financials v9 (with demo data) into Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.6.1 : W_MCAL_DAY_D seems not to be properly filled, as I have some lines where the quarter is empty.
    As a matter of fact, I have GL reports where a fiscal year is split into 5 quarters : for instance 2000 Q1, 2000 Q2, 2000 Q3, 2000 Q4 and 2000 Q.
    !i50.tinypic.com/33e1w8n.jpg!
    Fiscal periods & calendar configuration are loaded from PeopleSoft. Have some of you already experienced this kind of problem ?
    Thank you for your support !

    Solved !
    The problem was due to a table that wasn't loaded in PeopleSoft : PS_CAL_SUMP_TBL.
    By setting up a summary calendar in PS (with quarters), it enabled me to properly load W_MCAL_DAY_D with MCAL_QTR and MCAL_PER_NAME_QTR.

  • Fonts are not displayed properly when Book assembled for PRINT Preview

    I am having an issue with fonts not being displayed correctly within Aperture Book design application. I have used a script font (Snell Roundhand) for the cover of my book that has quotations marks around the title. However the quotations marks that are displayed after the book is assembled, go to the default Times Roman not Snell. They do not match the Snell Roundhand font quotations that are supplied with that font. What gives? Also . . . after they the dust cover is displayed the next page is the hard bound foil page which displays Times Roman for the title . . . not the font I have selected (Snell Roundhand). What gives with that? Is there a way to change the font before it goes to the printer. Any work around ideas. I have tried several different fonts to see if anything else comes close. Everything looks like a variation of Times. HELP . . . trying to hit PURCHASE BOOK . . . . hopefully without flaws!!

    I kind of remember the foil letters might be fixed - cannot remember but here is a related conversation that might help (or not)
