After converting a file to *.pdf

After converting a file to *.pdf and saving it, how do you set the program to open this file automatically?

No, I want the file to open automatically, not to start the program on starting the computer. That way, I do not have to open the program, and open the file from the location just saved. Applies for any version of Adobe.

Bitmap image won't show after converting HTML file to pdf

I have a program which saves a technical report as a HTML file. I don't have another choice as to file type to save as. This program has a template which generates the report....and there are fields which are filled in...some text fields, and one is a company logo. Just to be clear the logo itself is not in the template, a holding place is there which points to the location of the logo on my drive. This is all set up by the program and can't be altered.
If I save the logo as a jpg, png or tiff file, the logo shows up in the final HTML report and if I use Adobe Professional (version 7.0 on Win XP) to create a pdf the image also shows up - a perfect replica of the report is created in pdf, making it convenient for printing and email.
If I save the logo as a bitmap file (which creates a higher resolution and sharper looking logo) the logo shows up in the initial HTML technical report, but when I convert this to pdf the file is not found, instead it shows as a small square red box with the error "Bad file image" or "unable to download image".
I can't understand why this would be the case as the logo is saved in the same location whether it is jpg, png, tiff or bmp. It just seems that the Adobe Pro doesn't know how to "find" the bitmap logo from the HTML template.
I did try converting the HTML document to Word but it threw the formatting out and when it was converted to pdf it cropped the page & I wasn't able to resolve this...maybe it can be done but it is a long way around in any case, particularly if steps then need to be taken to correct the formatting.
At the moment the document can be printed with success from the original format - then it's a matter of scanning the printed document in order to email. It can't be emailed directly because of the embedded information which is lost if then sent to the recipient's computer. However it would be nice if the doc could be converted to pdf which would then make it easier to transfer the file to a backup drive or for email. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for your response. Yes I did mean .bmp files.
The problem is not getting it to show in HTML - but Adobe then picking it up from there. I guess though if it is not a standard format for HTML then maybe Adobe has trouble recognising it if it is there. Also, it is possible for Adobe to convert .bmp files if they are inserted in the HTML file, but I have instead a template with the code for the location of the file rather than the graphic itself. I don't have this problem using the other file formats and getting them into pdf...it's just that the images aren't as sharp as the bmp. I have tried various formats and resolutions so if there isn't a way I can get the bmp from the HTML file into pdf I might just have to live with printing and scanning from the original. Thanks for your input, it confirms what I was thinking. I'll leave this unanswered for now in case someone else has further information.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1 STD & MS Project 2007 crash after converting project files to PDF

Need some help. Currently I create complex projects schedules (3-7 pages in length) and then convert to a .PDF thru Adobe Acrobat 8.1STD and although it takes a little bit, it does create the .PDF file. However when I open in Adobe Reader and try to scroll pages, it crashes and closes out Adobe completely without any error message after about 5-10 seconds. I run MS Office 2007 Small Business and all other conversions in Excel and Word are working just fine, it is only between these two software packages. Any Suggestions??

AA STD 8.1.2 Correction, I do not have Reader (Only other Adobe products are Adobe Flash Player ActiveX and Adobe Shockwave Player) on my PC but when I open the PDF it does open in AA STD 8.1.2. Also, have tried this on other PC;s and same problem occurs and we e-mail these PDF's to our consultants and they are having the same problem whereby they are unable to scroll view thru the document/PDF and unable to print it out on their end.

How to batch convert Word files to pdf

How do I batch convert Word files to pdf using Automator

Here is a drag/drop AppleScript solution that uses the command-line LibreOffice capability to convert MS Word (.doc, .docx) files into PDF. Drag/Drop a single file, or a folder of Word documents, and it will write the respective PDF back to the original file location. When it is done, an OS X Notification will slide out onto the Desktop and provide the count of processed files.
Save this AppleScript as a Desktop application that remains open after running. If you ignore the latter, the notification will not show when it is done. Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5.
property name_extension : {"doc", "docx"}
global fileCnt
on open of finderObjects
    set fileCnt to 0
    repeat with i in (finderObjects)
    if folder of (info for i) is true then
        tell application "Finder" to set temp to (entire contents of i)
        repeat with j in (temp)
            process_files(j)
        end repeat
    else
          process_files(i)
    end if
    end repeat

Converting bmp file to pdf

Hi all,
Please help me to solve this:
1) convert bmp file to PDF( using FM) .
2)There can be many such bmp files ..append them to single pdf file after converting them.
Thanks and Regards,
KC

As has been discussed many times here before, you can't really merge PDF files programmatically in ABAP after they have been created. Your best bet with this 'unique' requirement is to use a form-based approach I think.
With a smartform one approach is to create a single page with a window with a graphics node (dynamic name) in it, with the bitmap name specified in the form interface. Unless you have already loaded the bitmaps in the graphics manager (SE78), you would load the bitmaps at runtime from the presentation server or the application server and then create the graphics dynamically using the methods of class CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET prior to calling the form for each bitmap (a topic discussed recently in the ABAP forums or you can view how SE78 does it by checking the code). Create a merged spool and then use the standard function to convert the OTF data to PDF format.
A similar approach can be used with Adobe forms, but you would need to load the bitmaps to the web repository, not the graphics manager.
What exactly is in the bmp files and where are they stored? Are they form templates? You may get a better answer with more details.

Error: EXOpenExport() while converting xlsb file to PDF

I am getting this error while converting .XLSB file to PDF using IBR :Step PDFExport forced conversion failure by conversion engine because of error: EXOpenExport() failed: no filter available for this file type (0x0004). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for all your intrest.
The error message I get is... "an unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to process the request".
When I then try to convert again, the system opens the ppt, but then does not do anything, and the error message does not show, for all presentations I try to convert.
I have also tried using the ribbon, but the button does not do anything once I have clicked.
I can print to PDF, but this provides an output which is not suitable, because it shows as if it each slide was printed on to paper and then put in PDF.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat to make sure nothing was corrupt.

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

Hi,
I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,

In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.

Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

How do I convert a file to PDF without subscribing?

I just downloaded Adobe Reader X, I'm running Windows 7, When I try to convert a file to PDF I'm required to subscribe? I thought this was free? Any ideas?

Adobe Reader is free - and it reads PDF files; it doesn't create them.
Adobe CreatePDF and ExportPDF are online subscription services for people who don't want to buy Acrobat. There are links from inside Adobe Reader so users can find those services more easily, but functionally they're unconnected to Reader.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate your help, but I need to write this conversion part manually and put into my macro (which is making a lot of more stuff, and this will be one of it functionality). Do you have any idea how I can do it?
Basically, write I wrote before it just need to open a file, and print it with "Adobe PDF" printer. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it.

Hi narayanan_1983,
This article will tell you how to convert XPS file to PDF in vb.net:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/pdfnet/Convert%20XPS%20files%20to%20PDF%20format
From this article, we know that you could use a class named
[{{XpsLoadOptions}}] which is used to initialize a LoadOptions object. Later, this object is passed as an argument during the
Document object initialization and it helps the PDF rendering engine to determine the source document's input format.
' Instantiate LoadOption object using XPS load option
Dim options As Aspose.Pdf.LoadOptions = New XpsLoadOptions()
' Create document object
Dim document As Aspose.Pdf.Document = New Aspose.Pdf.Document("D:\source.xps", options)
' Save the resultant PDF document
document.Save("D:\resultant.pdf")
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Youjun Tang

Advice needed for converting AI file to PDF

I'm working on some 11x17 page size illustrator files that are of aerial photo maps (with a legend).
Can someone offer me some advice on how to best convert these files to pdfs and keep the photo quality high and keep the file size as low as I can get it??? I basically can convert it to a pdf but I don’t understand the compression settings section (assuming that’s what needs to be changed in order to accomplish this?).
Thanks

This is a trick I find works well.
Just save it as a pdf and open in Acrobat, then (Acrobat X) go to tools and then Prepare for Web Publishing, use all the default settings.
This should reduce the file as much as 1/3 the size sometimes even more.
It has no effect on the qquality.
