Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion sets all checkboxes to checked?

When I convert an HTML file that contains checkboxes to PDF using Acrobat 9 Standard or Pro (fully updated) on Windows XP SP3, all of the checkboxes end up checked in the resulting PDF.  I've looked in settings menus but can't find anything that seems to be a relevant option to prevent this from happening.  I've attached a simple test case .html file to this post that you can use to repeat the problem.
To convert the file, I right-click on the file in Windows Explorer, and click Convert to Adobe PDF.  I've tried "printing" the document to the Adobe PDF printer, but that introduces other issues and is not really an acceptable solution.
Has anyone encountered this before, and/or have ideas how to fix it?

Input elements have no such inheritance on the checked attribute.  Furthermore, the input elements in my test case are not grouped together.  They are each encapsulated within separate list item elements, and so no inheritance should take place after the first input element.
Just for grins, I changed the order of the elements (moved the checked one below the unchecked one), but that did not make any difference in the Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion.
I did test this with Acrobat 8 Standard, and the HTML to PDF conversion preserved the correct checked status of the input elements.  It looks to me like this is a bug that was introduced in Acrobat 9.

  • HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

    Hello,
    My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
    We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
    We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
    There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
    <A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
    <A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
    Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
    I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
    Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
    Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
    header1
    header2
    header2
    header1
    header1
    header2
    Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
    Please excuse my English.
    I am looking forward to your response,
    Lucas

    Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

  • HTML to PDF Conversion

    I have requirement to convert a document in HTML to PDF. I need to do this in the background programatically (in C++ preferably) and without any UI prompts to the user. Does the Acrobat/PDF SDK provide any such APIs.

    Do you want to do this on the desktop or server?
    Acrobat (and thus the Acrobat SDK) can NOT be used on a server, so you'd need to look at our LiveCycle/ADEP products.
    For the desktop, you can write a C++-based plugin for Acrobat to do this conversion.

  • Acrobat Distiller Adobe PDF default setting changes mysteriously

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional on a Windows XP PC. On numerous occasions, my Acrobat Distiller Adobe PDF default setting changes mysteriously from "High Quality" to "PDFX1a". I do not know what is causing the default setting to change automatically. Would you know some possible causes? Thanks for your help.

    Hi Led2,
    Have you tried repairing the Acrobat installation and checked?
    I would also recommend updating to version 9.5.5 and check.

  • HTML to PDF conversion - Linux

    Hi,
    We are doing a proof of concept of PDF generator on a Linux environment (RHEL6) .This POC involves conversion of HTML into PDF.
    As per the installation documentation, PDF Generator requires Adobe Acrobat XI pro.
    Can we use trail version of Acrobat? If yes, Link to download acrobat XI for linux?
    Thanks
    Sudhi

    For converting HTML to PDF on linux, you need to install Open Office.
    I believe you are using LC ES4, so please refer below documentation for checking compatible versions:

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pdf Conversion

    I am not sure I am in the correct forum, but I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I cannot convert existing Word files, for example, to pdf. A message comes up: "PDF Conversion Failed." And that's it. No explanatory message or suggestion how to correct it.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you!

    Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
    1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
    If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

  • HTML to PDF Conversion in Linux env

    Dear all,
    Do you have any idea how to convert HTML to PDF using java in Linux environment.
    Thanks
    SS

    HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
    You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
    Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
    doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
    xls --> pdf, html, csv
    ppt --> pdf, swf
    Code example:
    import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
    // suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
    OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
    f.convert(fos,"pdf");

  • Options for HTML to PDF conversion

    I need to convert HTML to PDF from a custom command line app.
    I see that Acrobat XI does a good job of converting HTML files to PDF but I can't seem to find the SDK.  I do see the Acrobat X SDK but I'm not sure if it has the capability I need.  Can anyone confirm if X has that capability?  If it does not, is there an SDK for XI?  If not, when might we expect one?
    Thanks.

    I don't quite follow. You say you can't find the SDK, then you say you do see the Acrobat X SDK. What SDK are you looking for?

  • To Detect all checkboxes as checked

    Hi,
    I have a page which fetches a number of records based on a query and I am putting one checkbox for each row to let the user enable the row. Below the records, i have a submit button and on the click of this button, I want to detect whether all checkboxes in the page have been checked by user or not. When they all are checked, then only I need to submit the page, else not. I am not able to find a solution to this. Please help.

  • HTML to PDF conversion problem

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro X, I am having a problem converting HTML to interactive PDF, all of the HTML does not convert to the PDF.  My HTML code creates "tabbed" data when displayed via a browser.
    I have had success with converting one very LARGE tabbed, HTML file to PDF, but most will only convert the data on the 1st "tab".  Not sure what makes the other files different.  Please can anyone help?
    Thanks,

  • IPhone: HTML to PDF conversion library?

    Is anybody aware of a way to convert an html page to pdf in code that runs on the iPhone? I have gotten UIWebView to render into a pdf file, but that just creates a bitmap, I would really prefer a normal pdf, with selectable/searchable text.
    I have a found a few libraries around for this, but so far mostly Java and .Net. Is there anything that could actually be embedded in an app? Preferably open source, but commercial might be ok as well.

    The method described at http://www.macresearch.org/cocoa-scientists-xxx-developing-iphone is all about displaying pdf's on the iPhone (which are created elsewhere). I want to convert html into a pdf on the phone. I do not actually need to display the pdf at all (I can just display the html).
    I have seen easy ways of doing the conversion in MacOS (using the same API used in printing to a pdf), but these do not appear to be available on the iPhone.
    An online service from Adobe might be a possible approach, but it seems awfully sub-optimal to have to upload the html (and embedded images) and download back a pdf.

  • Windows picture viewer fails Acrobat TIF to PDF conversion

    Hi. I have some users running Acrobat Pro 9 in batch mode to convert TIF to PDF and run OCRing tasks.  Some multi-page TIFs with large color pictures do not convert correctly, and some pieces are missing.  We think that Acrobat uses the default picture viewer as the imaging enging or whatever.  We have tried opening the images that fail to convert, using the Windows picture viewer, and the viewer fails to display all of the color image - so this does not appear to be an Acrobat problem, but a viewer problem.
    Is this a known problem; is there a workaround?  Otherwise can someone recommend an alternate image/TIF viewer that will work better for this process?
    THANKS!

    Have you tried changing the program that opens tif files by default to something else (like Photoshop or Paint) and rebooting?

  • WHY are there pages missing in my HTML to PDF conversion?!?

    Hello all~
    upon converting/saving webpages to a PDF file (using the "Convert Webpage to PDF" command), there are pages occasionally missing after the conversion. Sometimes the pages are completely gone & sometimes you can see the pysical page, but it is emply/blank! I've adjustted the settings & such without any success. Please, if anyone can help me, it would be MUCH appreciated!
    Thanks in advance~ Joey

    Greetings~
    I perhaps should have been more specific, as to the particular details surrounding my problem. Actually, "graffity" got me pointing in the right direction. 1st of all, the webpage I was trying to convert to PDF was an email hosted by HotMail. So when I tried to print it using the print icon on my "Command Bar," I would had missing information. Then I noticed a printer icon contained within HotMail. Once I clicked on that icon, it reconfigured the page, whereby I was then able to select the "Convert Webpage to PDF" with the DESIRABLE RESULTS.
    In short, if anyone elst has problems saving ALL THE DATA contained within their HotMail, then you MUST 1st click on the printer icon contained WITHIN HotMail... & then you can either print to Adobe OR Convert Webpage to PDF (providing you have the toolbar add-on.
    Ciao~
