Ability to turn headings into graphics when creating PDFs

I would like the ability to convert the text headings and footers into graphical images whenever I create PDFs.
My reason for this wish is that when you search for a text string in a PDF, it is very annoying when you keep getting hits that occur in headers or footers.
Thanks,
Susan

Susan,
It would be much easier to convert the header and footer into a graphic
yourself. That way you could determine the type of graphic that would be
appropriate for your application---high def raster image, outline text, etc.

  • MISSING TEXT/GRAPHICS WHEN CREATING PDF

    Hello ...
    When I convert FrameMaker files to PDF, text and graphics are missing in the pdf. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not - the pattern seems to be whenever I am working with a large file (1MB or more)or if I have several windows open.
    My temporary work-around is to save the document into PDF 2-5 pages at a time ... but with a 100-page document this becomes very tedious and time-consuming.
    I have 55GB of free space and 2GB of RAM.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 with Windows XP.
    Thank you,
    Tina

    Hi Mike ...
    Yes, the graphics are imported by reference.
    But when generating a pdf multiple times from the same file - it's not always the same result. The first attempt may result in some graphics and text not appearing (only several pages may be affected). The second attempt will result in different pages being affected.
    It's not consistent - which really doesn't make sense.
    I have a feeling it's something quirky with my computer - but I wanted to check the forum in case this is a problem with Acrobat 8.0 -before I complain to our IT Dept.

  • [AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

    How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

    Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC"

  • Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

    Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

    Hello,
    1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
    2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
    3. Try with different joboptions.
    Regards,

  • Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

    Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

    OS? Version of ID?
    This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
    The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

  • When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks

    Try to do it from Word using the ribbon.

  • XMP Metadata Error when creating PDF/A-1b

    Hello,
    I just started using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac to create PDF/A-1b documents from scanned TIFs.  I created a script in the Action Wizard to 1) Combine Files into a Single PDF; 2)Downsample image resolution to 150 ppi (bitmaps to 300 ppi); 3) Recognize Text;4) Pause to find all suspects and make corrections to incorrect OCR; 5) Convertto PDF/A-1b (sRGB); and 6) Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b.
    When I use the Action Wizard to to execute the script above I receive an error message stating "Metadata does not conform to XMP."  However, when I execute each of the actions manually I do not receive the XMP metadata error.  It takes a long time to execute each action manually, so I am hoping there is some way to make this full script work in the Action Wizard.
    I have an open case with Adobe regarding this issue, but so far no solutions.

    I do not receive an error when the "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b" action is removed from the script.  Does this action have to be performed separately to avoid the XMP metadata error?

  • Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

    Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document.  PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word).  When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location.  I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
    thanks, NB

    Dear fellows,
    the problem is still present.  My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
    Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In.  Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
    As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document.  So far, so good and as I want it.
    The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt.  E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
    PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly!  But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
    Well, probably one day ...
    Regards,
    Rückenlehne.

  • "Macros in this project are disabled..." error message when creating PDF files

    The following error occurs when creating a PDF file using a document that was created from a MS Word 2007 templates.
    "Macros in this project are disabled..."
    The security settings are set appropriately - it's not that. I have done everything I can think of including asking Microsoft; they say it's not them. It may not be, but I do not know how to get around it. It did not happen before upgrading my templates to the Office 2007 format.
    Has this happened to anyone else? There is no coding within th etemplates regartding PDFs. We are using Adobe Professional X.  The error only occurs when we use Adobe Pro X.
    One thing I just noticed, our templates get the following message when we go to save as a PDF using Adobe:
    Acrobat PDFMAker needs to save the file before continuing. Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?

    Does it work the first time after you delete your Normal.dotm file? You may be running into the same issue that is detailed in this post Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.

  • Page size error when creating PDF from Excel 2013

    Hello,
    I am using Acrobat Pro XI, and am creating a PDF from Excel 2013.  I have updated Acrobat to the latest version (11.0.4).  I am using the Acrobat CreatePDF add-in inside Excel to convert a spreadsheet to PDF.  However, when I create the PDF, the page size doubles from 8.5" x 11" to 17" x 22".  I have checked the print settings inside Excel to insure that the content fits onto an 8.5" x 11" page.  I also checked the Preferences->Advanced Preferences of the Create PDF add-in and confirmed that the default page size is set to 8.5" x 11".  Does anyone know why it is creating the PDF with a 17" x 22" page size?  Also, can the page be resized back down to 8.5" x 11" within Acrobat Pro XI? 

    Hello - this did not happen when I printed the file to the Adobe PDF printer.  It correctly sized the sheet as 8.5" x 11".  Thanks for the suggestion.  Also, it will properly print out to the physical printer. 
    The main problem is when I am combining several PDFs into one document, I have some sheets sized at 8.5" x 11" and some at 17" x 22", so the document looks strange when viewing it online.  I am still not sure why the Create PDF add-in creates a different sized PDF than the Print to PDF function. 

  • Frame hangs when creating PDF

    I'm running Frame 8, unstructured, on Vista. Also running Distiller 8.
    I have a book file and was creating individual PDFs of the chapters doing Save As PDF on each chapter. After three weeks of doing this Frame starts to hang when creating the PDFs. Nothing different in the files, just some editing of commas, mispellings etc. Sometimes just repaginating for page numbers. I noticed, strangely, that I first had to delete the old PDF, it wasn't overwritinng. Then that started hanging so I was changing the name of the file. Then changing the name wasn't working. 
    Frame was opening Distiller but it wasn't doing anything else. At some point it doesn't even open Distiller. Just hangs Frame. Doesn't matter if I reboot, it has no affect.
    Then, doing absolutely nothing, it starts working again ... for a while. There's nothing intricate about these files. They're pretty vanilla. Lots of text, a handful of tables (or not) and some graphics in eps or tif format.
    What is going on here?
    Dottie M.

    From everything I have read, it is better to Print to a PDF than to use Save As....and also set your default printer to pdf. Although some I have read use the Save As PDF, most don't agree. You can give it a shot anyway....

  • Images Disappear when creating PDF

    When creating a PDF out of InDesign we are having issues with images diappearig when Postscript Overprint / Overprint Preview is on.  When printing images also do not show up. When viewing in Reader Images do not show up.  Has anyone run into this issue, we are running CS3 & CS4.  Any help will be appreciated

    Most likely cause is that the images are set to non-printing in some way, either inidvidually through the Atrributes Panel, or they're on a layer that is set to non-printing.

  • Error Message when creating PDF

    I was trying to Create PDF - From File and access a Pages document when I received this error message.
    There was an error opening this document.  There was a Macintosh system error (-1409). 
    Any ideas?  I'm new to Acrobat and did this same function two days ago.  Now it doesn't work.  I can open a Jpeg into Create PDF, but not a Pages document. 
    It's MAC OSX software.
    Thanks.

    You can't directly open a Pages  (or Word) document and Excel and, its equivelent  Macintosh program  in Acrobat. That's true. In OSX.5.8 and lower and 9.2 and lower you can go to print menu and choose AdobePDF and print a PDF. Or simply use the Mac's PDF button in Print menu. Or Most programs will allow you to save as Post script by going through the print menu click on PDF button and choose create Postscript from PDF (I know it sounds stupid but that what Apple has it listed as. ) Then Drop the PS File on Distiller. or open with distiller.
    ON OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) all bets are off.
    you need to read this link.
    Note: to make sure that everything goes smooth locate Automator select, do get info (Command key-I) and change from 64 bit to 32 bit. Its seems based on info from Acrobat the automator action for Create adobe quality PDF Automator action

  • Unusual error when creating PDF from Excel

    2 of my work computers started suffering from this 1 week ago in Excel 2003.
    All create buttons and dropdown menus work, the creation process goes through progress bars and such.
    At the end, an error box titled Acrobat PDFMaker displays this error;
    "An error occurred while saving the file. Please check if there is sufficient space in the temporary folder."
    It's Acrobat 8 and its been updated to the highest level for quite a while. No settings have been changed.
    Running on Windows XP Pro. PDF creation has worked fine before this.
    It still works fine on Word.
    The error is not on Google or here, so I assume I'm the first to ever get it!
    There's at least 40 GB free on the drives. I cleared the system temp folder for kicks, but no change.
    I did a generic uninstall and reinstall on one computer, reapplied updates, but error still pops up.

  • Incorrect page size when creating PDF from Excel 2013 (export and print)

    I am in the USA so everything tends to default to 8½"x11" ... but I created a document in Excel with A size settings. I have attempted to export it to PDF with every setting I can find set to A4 and I have attempted to print the document to PDF again with every setting I can find set to A4 (page size, layout - advanced - paper/output - paper size - A4) with all scaling turned off and yet when I open the finished document in Acrobat XI Pro (with all updates installed) the document properties lists it as 8½"x11". I don't see any resize document settings in Acrobat or any other reason it would be anything but A4 in Acrobat's settings, and I've even had someone in our design department that uses Acrobat extensively look at my steps and they don't see where I'm making any mistakes.
    Does anyone here have any suggestions?

    Notice in the illustration the button Page setup.
    Click on that and see if you can set printer from there.
    I don't know whether this is in the PC version.
    This is an adobe dumb idea inserting a Print menu in between a print menu and the printer, and not allowing the Printer to do the control Setup itself.
    One of them ideas that came up when a developer was sitting around twidling his thumbs, and saying hey lets do this.  Another idea That comes along with this, is the inserted property feature called simplex printing. If you want to print a PDF duplex you can setin printer till cows come home and you blue in the face. Won't print Duplex.  You have to Click Propties and Locate the command simplex, and turn off.
