Adding Current Date Using A Prologue File When Converting to a PDF

I'm trying to embed the current date on a postscript file (.ps) to pdf conversion using a prologue file (prologue.ps) in a certian position on the page. What is the script necessary to acommplish this task? Is this similar to the case that is still open regarding a "dynamic date stamp"?

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

'Cuz that's what mail merges do. They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1.
M.S. Product     : Word 2003
Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: ) '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there. My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine. I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

Hi,
- syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

Double print in one line,when convert spool to PDF

Dear Expert:
I have a problem to solve when convert spool to PDF,there is one line will double imaged.
The form is created by smartforms.
I have tryed many ways,retype the text or start a new line,all didn't works.
So could any one tell me how to solve this problem.
Many thanks.

Edited by: Nika Wei on Dec 1, 2008 9:50 AM

Thanks for your quick response.
I used the program you mentioned to download spool to PDF.The download file is like the link picture.
And the form will not overlap when I print it immediately.But it will overlap the first line when preview or convert to PDF. My user don't want to print it immediately they want to save it to PDF.
I know maybe there is something wrong with the format, I tryed retype the text but it didn't works.

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

Importing schema+ data using a text file containing sql commands

Hello Charles,
The SQL Syntax especially for DDL commands are different between MS SQL Server and Advantage Database, so you have to modify them to get them work.
As David already wrote we don't have a stored procedure "sp_CreateIndex90" in SQL Server, you may remove these commands, and we also don't have a data type "Logical", next could be "bit"

How to get the current date using HTMLB JSP page

Hi All, I developed an iview with several fields using PDK, I would like to know how can I include for a date field a dynamic value witch in this case is the current date.
<hbj:inputField
id="Date"
type="date"
maxlength="10"
showHelp="TRUE"
required="TRUE"
value="???"
/>
Thanks in advance
Alexis

Hi Alexis ,
u can use the setDate("3.12.2003") function to set date for this input field.
u just change the id = Date , because in jave we have Date class. rename it to another name..
suppose id = systemDate
<%
Format formater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date syDatum = new Date();
%>
then
put
    systemDate.setDate(formater.format(syDatum));
this will set the date .....
                    Regards
                    Kishor Gopinathan

Adding current date to text field w/ Javascript in Acrobat 8

I am trying to add the current date to a text field using javascript in Acrobat 8 Professional. I am using the util.printd function in a javascript function but the date of creation shows in the text field, NOT today's date. Any clues??
var f = this.getField("myField");
if (!f.value) f.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

Thanks. I've used it also without the empty value check and had the same result of showing the creation date and not the current date.

How can I instruct SqlMetal to exclude the 'storage' attribute of all the columns on a mapping file when converting a .dbml file to a mapping file?

Hi,
I'm trying to use LINQ to SQL with a top down approch using my own POCO classes. I'm using a XML file for the external mapping but in order to avoid typing a long file by hand I found that I could use the O/R designer to create the .dbml and from there I
could use SqlMetal.exe to generate the map file from the .dbml. The only thing is that, by default, SqlMetal generates a map file which includes the 'storage' attribute for all the columns of the database. For example:
<
Column
Name="Ticker"
Member="Ticker"
Storage="_Ticker"
DbType="NChar(20)
NOT NULL"
CanBeNull="false"
/>
However, in my code I only use automatic properties (Ticker, in this example) and not properties with the corresponding private field. Basically, I don't have any field "_Ticker" in my class. I found out that this the reason why I'm getting the error
"Bad Storage property: '_Ticker' on member 'TTS.Domain.Asset.Ticker" when trying to add an entity to the database. However, ff I delete the all the 'storage' attributes from my mapping file everything works fine.
Is there a way so I could use SqlMetal to generate a map file from a .dbml file but in which it never includes the 'storage' attribute?
Thanks.
Best,
Miguel T.
This is reason why I'm getting the error.

Hi Serguey,
I was expecting that answer but I still had some hope that it could be possible! I checked those 2 links before sending my question.
Currently, I'm deleting the storage attributes everytime that I generate a mapping file. The issue is that I will have to do this eveytime that I need to add data in my O/R designer which happens quite frequently since I'm working with iterations in my project.
It's not very practical but it's still better than write the additional data by hand.
I don't know how I could create my own mapping validation in order to exclude the 'storage' attributes everytime that I generate a mapping file from a .dbml file with SqlMetal but I will check that option too.
Thanks for your helps.
Best,
Miguel.

Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

Hi all!
I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.

Have you thought about creating more than one spool request or using something completely different? Why do you have to do this through spool? You can get Smartform output directly into PDF, there are a lot of example out there.
The only solution that comes to mind is rather brutal - create a copy of the function module and get rid of the popup. Although it just might time out after that...

Same as source file name when converting .msg to PDF

Hello,
When I right click a Word document and choose to convert it to an Adobe PDF file it takes a few seconds and asks me where to save it, not only this but it pre-populates the file name to match the original Word document, but obviously when saved if will be a PDF file - brilliant.
I have a folder structure with hundreds of *.msg files (Outlook email messages). When I do the same as the above the file name is not pre-populated, it is simply called "Memo Style.pdf", which in-turn means I can't batch the process easily either.
I checked the PDF Conversion settings in the Adobe ribbon menu in Outlook, however there is no setting to not prompt for a file name.
What makes this a little worse is the client is adamant this never used to happen and I can see evidence of this.
HELP!
Regards
J

Hello, I'm away from the computer right now. But I have lots of .msg files in a folder, I'm right clicking them in Windows explorer and selecting "Convert to Adobe PDF", when this is selected it triggers Outlook and starts converting the message to PDF, but it pre-populates the name as "Memo Style.pdf" which is a real pain and the client says this never used to be the case. We ideally want to do this in bulk, keeping the name it has before, but with the new .pdf extension - again the client says this used to be possible.
Outlook Adobe add-in conversion settings to follow as well as exact Outlook and Adobe Standard version numbers...
