Adobe PDF FileToPDF - Text file generated?!

Hi guys, I wrote a macro that converts a worksheet to PDF format, it all works fine none of this is the issue. What's driving me insane is that after it converts the post script to PDF it also generates a text file along with it with the results! It's driving me nuts because I can't figure out what the damn file extension for it is, and it's not .TXT...
Can some of you guru's help me out please? Thanks!

>It's the same filename as the generated PDF.
No, that's not possible. You can have only one file with a given name.
What you probably have is the Windows setting to hide file types
(which are part of the name). I recommend you turn this off, as it
just causes confusion. In Windows XP, use
MY COMPUTER
Tools > Folder options
Click View tab
Switch OFF "Hide extensions for known file types".
If it is LOG file, this is normal. You should check the log file (in
notepad, for example) to make sure there are no important messages
like font problems.

  • Saving report as PDF and text file

    Currently, I saved my report as PDF. It opens in Acrobat reader automatically when the report is executed. Is there a way for me to save it as PDF and as a text file at the same time? (without having to open the file in Acrobat reader and saving it)

    You can add your PDF and TEXT file formats to a distribution list (Instead of GENERATE REPORT TO A FILE). To do this:
    1. Go to your Object Navigator and highlight your report.
    2. Right click on your report. Select Property Palette.
    3. Select Distribution
    4. You can add of of the formats that you want to print or save to the report to.
    5. You will have to add Distribution Id (any number starting with 1) where you want the file to be saved (c:\my_reports\inventory.pdf), the type of file: PDF and how many copies you want: 2
    6. Click OK after finishing...
    To make it work ... You would highlight your report from your Object Navigator and then choose FILE-DISTRIBUTE and this will save it to all the files your specified and/or printer.

  • How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

    I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE.  And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
    I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time.   I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs.  I do lots of pdfs in normal layout.  Sometimes I would forget to do that.
    So, How do I do that?

    No such luck.  It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word. 
    Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?

  • Text file generator gets out of sync!

    Has anyone any experience of this behaviour in the text file generator in Motion......
    Basically the first entry in the list is only displayed for half the time of the other entries!
    This means that any repeat keyframes that I apply (even if I apply from the second entry in) get out of sync with the text display.
    There must be a workaround for this or maybe I am missing something and this is desired behaviour.
    Can anyone help?

    When you mentioned keyframes, I thought we were on the same page as to where to go next. In the off chance I was mistaken, I'll go over the steps from the beginning.
    When you use the File generator, Motion automatically evenly divides the time of the length of the generator by the number of lines of text and plays them accordingly. When you look in the Text Generator Inspector, the Speed is set for Constant... Motion figures out how many lines of text and inserts *fixed* keyframes.  What you really want to do is set the Speed to Custom:
    Immediately afterwards, you want to Reset the Custom Speed keyframes (Motion defaults from 0% - 100% over the length of the generator.)  Clearing the default keyframes will keep you from having problems later.
    Once you have the  keyrames for the Custom Speed parameter cleared, you can move the playhead to the start of where you want the first line of text to appear and set an In Point for the generator.  You will also want to mark the first keyframe so click on the yellow diamond to set it at 0%.
    Next, play the project and at the point you want the *next* line to appear, move the Custom Speed slider enough until the next line *just appears* (the keyframe will automatically be set.)  If you need more precision, you can widen the inspector column by clicking on the dividing line and dragging it right.
    Continue doing the same until your finished setting the Custom Speed keyframes.
    Then, right click on Custom Speed and Show In Keyframe Editor
    Below shows the keyframes are linear.  They need to be Constant. So, click on any keyframe in the Editor and Command-A to select all. Then right-click on any keyframe, and from the popup menu, select Interpolation > Constant.
    This is what you're going for -- Custom Speed values that are flat until they change -- Each line will appear at precisely the point of the keyframe.

  • Fm or method for converting  doc,pdf or text  files to binary format

    Hello,
    Are you aware of any function module or method which takes input as a file of type doc, pdf or text files and convert it to binary format? Kindly let me know.
    This is what i tried and was unsuccessful.
    i tried using gui_upload method and pass " asc" as file type while importing file of type .doc but it returns me string filled with strange characters.
    I did try converting this string to xstring using  cl_proxy_service=>cstring2xstring but i realized my 1st step of uploading file itself was wrong.
    Please let me know what can be done if you are aware of how to convert file of various types to binary.
    thanks
    Pooja

    hi All,
    thanks alot for the information and help provided by all of you.
    I did figure out a way where the word document or pdf  can be pretty much loaded with gui_upload. the file type used in the method would be "BIN" the following thing has to be done. declare data type as given below and file would be the complete path along with document name which has to be uploaded
    DATA: BEGIN OF res_line,
                raw(255) TYPE x,
             END   OF res_line.
      DATA: res_tab LIKE res_line OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    data :  wf_var_stringx TYPE xstring .
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
          EXPORTING
            filename                =  file
            filetype                = 'BIN'
            read_by_line            = 'X'
         has_field_separator     = ' '
         header_length           = 0
         header_line           = 'X'
          IMPORTING
            filelength              = l_filelength
          TABLES
            data_tab                = res_tab
          EXCEPTIONS
           OTHERS                  = 1.
    LOOP AT res_tab .
        CONCATENATE wf_var_stringx res_tab-raw INTO wf_var_stringx IN BYTE MODE.
      ENDLOOP.
    this will upload the file and will file the string x with its content.
    hope this helps to some of you.
    Thanks

  • Align Columns?  using Acrobat Pro 9 to create pdf from text file(s)

    Hello,
    Every time that I have tried to create a PDF from a text file, the columns dont align.  The default Notepad setting I use to view a text file is Courier New which shows the columns aligned.  How can I set defaults in Acrobat Pro 9 to have columns align?
    Thanks

    By definition a plain text file has no font, so it cannot be monospaced. Acrobat converts plain text using Times, this cannot be changed.
    As TSN suggests to create a PDF from a text file with a specific choice of font and formatting you must print from another application.

  • Adobe PDF Printing - no file is created

    Hi there,
    We have Adobe CS6 installed on our network, which includes Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    Our clients are Windows 7 64-bit.
    We are experiencing a problem when it comes to printing to PDF.  e.g. using notepad or Microsoft Word, when selecting "File >> Print" and "Adobe PDF"
    We are presented with the "Save PDF File As" prompt, and at this point you can see the document appear in the Adobe PDF print queue with the status "Spooling".  However once we've chosen the file name and location, and chosen "Save" no file is created.  The job disappears from the print queue.
    We have tried a number of fixes based on other forum posts, such as choosing the print driver (AdobePDF.inf) again from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF and repairing the Adobe Acrobat X Pro installation.....but to no avail.
    We are able to create PDFs within the Adobe Acrobat X Pro progam without any problems.
    I suspect from what someone else has written, this might have something to do with acrotray.exe but I'm not sure how to diagnose/fix this.
    We would greatly appreciate some further advice!
    Thanks!!

    The print process for PDFs as you have described is to create a PS file and then activate Distiller in the background to complete the process. A necessarily background application for this process is AcroTray that I suspect someone has removed. To check the process at the base level, use these steps:
    1. use print-to-file and save the file someplace you can find
    2. open the file in Distiller (it should be a PS file, but with a PRN extension or type)
    3. You should get a PDF
    If the conversion fails in Distiller, you will get errors on the screen -- typically related to graphics or fonts that you are trying to use or embed. You may find that .log files have already been created when you said you got no PDF. If that is the case, the log-file will let you know what the problem is (if you can figure out what is said -- or post here).
    So there are 2 common problems: 1. that errors occurred and are recorded in the log file or 2. AcroTray is not active.

  • Problem printing Adobe Reader documents (PDF). Text files and MS-WORD print fine. Help?

    I cannot get my ePrint to work with Adobe Acrobat (ReaderX) and pdf files.  I get a "Failed to send" message.  I have NO problems printing text or MS-WORD files so I know my Internet, printer, and local intranet are working.  Help?

    When you say the bottom right of you screen, are you talking about your computer screen?  If you are then, you are not using ePrint, which is fine.  You may just be having some wireless network issues.  Try this.  When it asks for the DNS information on step six, enter Google's public DNS (Preferred = 8.8.8.8 | Alt = 8.8.4.4).  If that does not help, let me know  and I will see what I can do.
    By the way, if you are emailing the documents to your printer, which is ePrint, you are right about the file size limit, however, the limit is 5 MB.  Most likely you are not Creating PDF or Docx documents that are anywhere near that size, so that should not be the issue if you are using ePrint.  If you are using ePrint, try turning the router and printer off.  Turn the router on and let it become stable.  Turn the printer back on.  Turn off and on any other devices that are connected to your wireless network as well, so they can re-establish network connection.  Now retry the ePrint job.  If that does not work, let me know.

  • Create PDF from text file.

    The CreatePDF app description states "Convert all your Office, Photoshop, ..., Text, and RTF files to PDF using 'Open In' to send the files to the CreatePDF application" (bolding mine).  But I see no way in the iPhone Notes app to do an 'Open In'.  Really?!? I can't even create a PDF from the standard Notes app?!?

    Hello tomscheifler,
    notes in the notes-app are NOTES not FILES.
    Conclusion: You cannot convert them.
    You have take a detour via e.g. "docs to go" and save the note as word doc.
    Then adobe does the job you expect....

  • PB printing with Adobe PDF, missing text, different colors

    Hello,
    I use Adobe Reader 9, I tried with the latest updates: the same
    On some pdf docs I print missing parts of the entire text.
    And I have also some areas of color deviations between what I have on the screen and on paper. I tested different printers and PC: the same.
    It works with Foxit reader. What makes that it does not work with Adobe Reader? Have you ever encountered such a pb?
    (I can not keep Foxit Reader on my business PC)
    thank you for your answers
