Lines in PDF made from XLS

Dear Adobe Acrobat Pro,
Please look *.bmp file attached

My guess is that you are using OFFICE 2007. If so, that is the problem. If you produce the same PDF from OFFICE 2003, the lines should go away.

Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

Attaching multiple pdfs made from Appleworks documents

I need to send copies of (typically about 4) AW documents in (small) pdf format as email attachments.
I could open each AW document and then Print>pdf>compresspdf and then attach the resulting files to a new email message. OK but quite tedious
I found cups-pdf that makes a virtual printer on the desktop. This allows me to drag and drop a number of the AW documents that are then batch converted to pdf files ready for attaching to an email message. OK but the resulting pdf files are too large.
So..... I then found PDF shrink that shrinks those pdf files. Clever me: I have put a droplet in the cups pdf folder and set the process to overwrite the original pdf file.
OK. So now I can select a group of AW files, drag & drop them to the virtual printer in the desktop (or dock). Open the cups-pdf folder. Select the (large)pdfs I have created and drag and drop into the PDF shrink droplet that resides in the same cups-pdf folder. Then I can attach these to a new email message.
This is as good as I can get it, Two separate group,drag & drops followed by attaching.... but wait......why can't I just select those AW (or any other format come to that) files from the 'attachment choice window' and choose for them to be automatically converted to (small) pdfs and attached in my new message. There is already a 'send windows friendly attachments' check box. Why not a 'send as pdf' check box?
If such an option already exists please guide me to it. Has anyone made an AppleScript to do this? Has anyone else wanted such a feature?

Newer versions of Acrobat Pro have a batch processing capabilities which
allow you to do it easily, in a single process.
You should consider upgrading (although your version is too old too qualify
for an upgrade, so you'll need to buy a full license).

Vertical Lines in PDF printed from ACAD?

Hello all,
I've searched and searched and have found nothing, others are also having this same issue but haven't found a fix.
Issue: In ACAD I have a TIFF image inserted and i am printing to PDF. When I open the PDF there are vertical lines that show up and also print out. If I print from ACAD to the printer the vertical lines do not show up so I do not believe this is caused by the TIFF image (I've been wrong before though). Is there any setting that would turn these vertical lines off?
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
Thanks!
Jeff

Here is an image of the PDF. As you can see there are vertical lines and they do print out. Anyone know why?

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 crashes when displaying pdf made from Word doc containing url text

Hello,
I and a few others in my workplace have a similar issue.
Acrobat crashes when they scroll through and view a pdf file that was created from Word. The Word document contains url text in its header to the effect of "visit us at www.blah.com ." They're running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 and Office 2K Pro SR-1 on XP Pro SP2.
Even though the link is not an active link, (i.e. clicking on it does not open the web page), if I convert a document containing this header to PDF, Acrobat will not allow me to manipulate the file and will crash. When I take the same document and remove the web address, then convert from Word to PDF, I experience no problems with Acrobat (note that this is the identical file, but with the web address removed).This does not explain why Acrobat will work for awhile even with the web address in the header, then stop working. But it does appear to fix my problem with creating a PDF from Word, then manipulating it further.
Does anyone know how to allow for this text to exist in the header and still have a stable pdf file/acrobat behavior?
The pdf is attached.
Thanks....

To sum up, I've found that if a url beginning with www is in the Word document and then created to pdf Adobe will crash when viewing that pdf. If it is deleted from the Word document before creating the pdf, Acrobat will not crash when viewing that pdf.

Suppressing headers and footers in PDFs made from HTML files

When I convert a HTML file to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard, the PDF contains a footer (file path) and header (file name). I don't want these to appear in my PDF. I have disabled headers and footers in MSIE 8, but that has no effect. I can't deleted these objects from within Acrobat, unless I edit each page with the text touch up tool. Is there a way to suppress the header/footer? The subject HTML files came from another system. Thanks.

Thanks, Bernd, but where are these settings? While I'm writing, is there a setting to make an html file fit on one page in Acrobat?

Few questions about live cycle 9.0 es2. Opened pdf made from indesign.

I am new to live cycle. I took a pdf which I created in InDesign. I have some questions so I may finish editing it in LiveCycle. When I go to group text by dragging the mouse using the field tool, some remains in text boxes, other text remains in light outlined boxes. I would like it to all group and stay within one box for editing. Also, I see no white space to move the text to to edit it off to the right of the form like in InDesign. Nor can I find a way to create a blank page to move the text to to do more editing if I would like. I also did not see a duplicate spread option to create a copy of the page I am editing. There is blurry and clear text after I opened the pdf in Live Cycle. How do I make it all clear? This includes an eps logo at the top of the page. How do I do copy and paste in place. Can I insert a pdf page after I am done edit this pdf page in LiveCycle? CAn brcodes take on alphanumeric, not just 1's and 0's? Thanks.

No one?
Some questions are answered by someone else.
-The SLD is okay, it doesn't need to be configured
-The Adobe Lifecycle Designer is automatically installed when installing the Netweaver Studio Sneak Preview SP16
Just two more questions:
1)when I open http://server:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The PDF is shown but I can't use the buttons or the dropdown boxes.
I tried to install ACF but I have NW04s SP16, and the ACF is only SP11.
So when I install that, it only shows a blue screen with "I am the placeholder control"
When I install ACF SP19 for NW04, the PDF shows again, but I still can't use the buttons or dropdowns. Is this normal?
2) Do I need the license described below?

Main questions----
I need to create a form with a few fields (of which some fields are mandatory); then I have to use a few BAPI's to check these fields and to save the content in a CRM system.
I've installed Netweaver Sneak Preview, and configured Adobe Document Services (made ADSUser & ADSCaller, set IIOP etc to Autostart, Installed the credentials). The tests seem to work fine, but I haven't developed anything yet.
My questions:
1) What about the ACF?
2) Also the license described above?

Thank you,
Michael

Sorry, I don't know what they are called but I have tryed the "hand" and "arrow". No I have not tryed redact tools. I'll look for them. Any advice/warning about using them?

PDF made from Pages wont have commenting rights in Acrobat

I am sending documents created in Pages as PDF files to people with Acrobat 8 for their review. Both in Mac and PCs.
I would like them to be able to add comments as when adding an annotation in Preview but it appears that this right is NOT Allowed when using the document in Acrobat.
This happens when I export to PDF on Page and when I print as PDF.
Any ideas?????

I would like them to be able to add comments as when adding an annotation in Preview but it appears that this right is NOT Allowed when using the document in Acrobat. This happens when I export to PDF on Page and when I print as PDF.
This makes no sense to me, sorry. I just dropped a scribble into a Quartz PDF on the desktop, opened it in Acrobat Pro 6.01, added a comment, saved back to the desktop, opened in Preview and there was my scribble and my comment. The people you are talking to may not know that to get the comments menu and toolbar in Acrobat you need to Control-click on the main menu bar.
The property of adding annotations is not a property of the PDF authoring application but of the PDF consuming application. Annotation is part and parcel of even the earliest versions of the Portable Document Format and is available in the first version of what was then Acrobat Exchange, the predecessor of the present Acrobat toolbox application.
Hope this helps (well, probably not, but still ...)

Acrobat 11 doesn't create pdf. files from doc. files

I tried to create a pdf. file from a doc. file (Office 2003). Acrobat 11 instead opens a warning message with the following contents (translated from German):
A high security level has been chosen. Start the application that created the document, activate the dialogue "safety warning", choose "always trust macros from this resource, activate ... from Adobe Systems Inc. (the message aborts there).
I selected "Extras/Macro/Safety/Safety level" , there I selected "low". The above mentioned message still comes up.
What do you suggest to do in order to finally create pdf. files from doc. files?
Additional information: Creating pdf. files from xls. files (Excel), txt. files (Editor) and saving a webpage as a pdf. file all work fine.
Thanks for your input!

Although Office 2003 is old compared to Acrobat XI, according to Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications it should work, though support has passed end of life.
So my first test (if it were me) would be to see if PDFMaker works if run in the simplest way (the only way I ever use it, this right click conversion stuff isn't in my worldview). That is, does the Acrobat menu appear in Word and does it work? If it does not work, no other method based on it can work.

Issues with quality of PDF being made from AutoCAD

I am having quality issues with the PDF after it is made from AutoCAD. First, I'm creating a few spreadsheets using Excel. I copy/paste them into AutoCAD and when I go to print the sheet to a PDF and view the preview before i submit it, the preview is great. Once i make the PDF one of the spreadsheets' quality is great. The others are showing extremely blurry and sometimes pixelated. Im not sure what would be going on. The spreadsheets are created the same way. I'd attach a screenshot of the issue, but the wonderful "attach image" button is not working. As a matter of fact, none of the tools for this post works.

More than likely it is in the PDF creation end of things. If that's the case, you'll want to go to the forum for the software you are using to create the PDF.
Before that, one thing you CAN check in Reader is Preferences>Page Display>REndering and be sure that smoothing preferences are checked.

Lines in PDFs from AI CS2

Ever since we switched to CS2 over 2 and half years ago we've had problems with PDFs out of AI. We have to embed all images otherwise there are lines that run across the pdf pages. Embedding solves the problem but its time consuming on some jobs especially if these are then placed in InDesign. Not to mention file sizes after embedding images as well.
Is there any other quick fix for this problem - a check box I'm forgetting. Or is this just a bug in AI CS2?
Has this been fixed in AI CS3
Thank you,
Christopher

This often happens when you make pdfs straight from Illustrator.
Dunno why.
The lines will be even more apparent if you have rotated the images.
It's best to make eps files and then use Distiller to make the pdfs.
Try this method and see if it works better for you.

Printing pdf files made from Filemaker docs on HP 7410 cuts off top margin

Just bought a MacBook Pro and jumped from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Also bought FileMaker 10 replacing the FileMaker 8.5 I used up till the MacBook Pro purchase and system upgrade.
Still using the same HP 7410, but during installation, I think I remember upgrading the printer driver. At any rate, this HP Printer is now much more responsive. It was previously very slow.
When I now save documents printed as pdf's from filemaker (as I used to) and then try to print them on the HP 7410, they open fine in Preview showing the whole page with no text cut off. But when I press Print in preview and I get the HP driver preview of what will print as part of the print dialogue box, it shows the top margin of the page cut off (down to at least 1/2 ") and actually prints that way. Before the switch to Snow Leopard and the MacBook Pro, a top margin of 1/4 " worked fine and printed in pdf docs.
(top margins of 1/4" on Word & Excel documents I tested still seem to print fine)
I use the borderless printing work-around, but that seems inelegant. It also takes much, much............much longer to print when it's in that mode (even fast draft).
Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Can this be fixed?
Steve

What print driver are you using?
I set my printer to use the open source Gutenprint driver in place of the one supplied with my printer to resolve an issue I was having - see my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1626340&tstart=0
The Gutenprint home page is http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3

Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.

Can Reader create PDF from XLS

A few weeks ago, I had the ability to create PDF files from my Excel Spreadsheets. I do not remember how I set this up but it worked fine. Then I realized that I had both Reader V6 and V7 installed so I uninstalled V6. Now I can't create the PDF files as before. What happened and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

I did not think so. But I DID have the functionality. The only thing I could think of that might have changed was that I uninstalled Reader V6 but kept V7. When I first set it up, I was thinking that it was part of Excel. How could I have gotten the functionality?
