Automatically display the Bookmarks panel when generating PDFs from Word

I have about 500 PDFs to generate and I like to have the Bookmarks Panel & Page as the setting in File Properties - Initial View - Navigation Tab. I am generating the PDFs directly from Word using the Acrobat Plugin. I was hoping I wouldn't have to make this setting manually for every PDF...
Thanks in Advance!
Camille

You can use a action in Acrobat X Pro to set the initial view of all documents in a folder.

No Bookmarks Appearing in the Bookmarks Panel When Exporting from InDesign

Hello,
I just recently upgraded to ID Creative Cloud, but have been using InDesign since CS2. I don't know if this a bug or if I don't have something set correctly, but when I export a document to PDF from InDesign and open up the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat XI, there are no bookmarks. Here are the settings I'm using (see below). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Were the bookmarks created in the Bookmarks panel or in the Table of Contents?

Pagination Incorrect When Making PDF from Word

When making a pdf from Word using the "Fully Functional PDF" setting in Acrobat 8 Professional, I often get incorrect Acrobat pagination that changes to "1 of 1," 2 of 2," etc. instead of "1 of 2," 2 of 2." Typically, I download both Acrobat and Windows updates, but today that did not help. The only way the pdf pagination is correct is if I choose the "Quick and Simple PDF" selection, but the graphics display is not satisfactory.
So my workaround today was to hard number the document. Anyone else have this problem? This has been an annoying and intermittent problem since we upgraded to MS Office 2007.

I suspect that you will find the same behavior if you print to paper (worth trying for a few pages). If so, then you are looking at a WORD bug. I know that one version of WORD had such a bug. But then, it also seems that MS put some hooks in the process for PDF creation, but that is only a conjecture. Anyway, be sure you have updated WORD. Acrobat does not change things, but gives you what was sent to it -- the reason I would strongly suggest this is probably a WORD issue. However, I rarely claim it says there is a bug in WORD, just highly likely.
This has been reported before and I think the update was the solution. You might want to do a bit of searching.

How to I stop safari from automatically resizing the bookmark bar when I click on the search bar?

there is probably an eloquent way to ask this but I don't even know what the feature is called.
Here is what it's doing:
I'm using safari in landscape mode on my iPad.
I click on the search bar and then the bookmarks come up below.
It takes a second to automatically resize to a size that make no sense, usually cutting off bookmark titles...and the delay of it resizes drives me nuts.
Safari did not used to do this until I guess ios 8. Any ideas how to stop this annoying "feature"??

Try deleting the Cache.db...
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari ...
You may want to try the Safari Reading List as an alternative to tabs.
Click the eyeglass icon just to the left of the Bookmarks icon top left side of the Safari window.
Drag the url to the window or click Add Page

InDesign 5.5 crashes when generating PDF from book file

I hope someone can help!
My employer has agreed to upgrade from CS3 to CS5.5 and I will receive the install disks next week. In the meantime, I downloaded the trial version of CS 5.5 Design Premium and installed only Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat. I kept CS3 on my system.
My problem is with InDesign5.5. I can generate a PDF of a single page, but I cannot do the same for a multi-page document (10 or so files) from the book window. InDesign immediately crashes (unexpected close message) but doesn't close until I force quit the application. When both CS3 and CS5.5 were on my machine, I was having the same problem even with CS3.
I removed CS5.5, but still had the same problem with CS3. Tried reinstalling CS3, but continued to have the same problem. Removed CS3 and re-downloaded CS5.5. Same problem. Removed CS5.5 again and completed a fresh install of CS3. This finally worked to allow me to use CS3 successfully again.
However, I need to be able to work with newer InDesign files that have been created in ID5.5 and can't do this without installing the new disks that arrive next week.
What can be the problem?
OS: Windows XP Professional 2002, SP 3
Computer: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9600, 2.80 GHz
Memory: 3.48 GB of RAM
Video card: 512 MB NVIDIA Quadro RX 2700M
Thank you!
Jenny

Yes, I would try to create a new master document and import the separate files. Even if you have saved all files to CS5.5 spec, there might still be some lingering meta data from the previous version and a fresh import might at least reveal such conflicts or ideally provide a clean slate by dismissing this outdated legacy stuff on import. If you are happy with CS5.5 and everything works, you can get rid of CS3, but I recommend to keep it around, even if you don't use it actively (maening löeave it installed, only deactivate it). Especially the CS3 installer is a fragile creature and a uninstall gone wrong might cause you more trouble than just letting it catch dust on your harddrive. See this article and the other ones related to it on my site for some considerations.

Transparency issue when generating PDF from InDesign Server

Hi there
Has anyone experienced any issues with transparency appearing solid white when generating a PDF from the InDesign server? There is no issue when exporting from the InDesign application, only when using the Server.
Any pointers / suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Davey

Davey, please send me an InDesign Server document that I could use to reproduce this problem. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thank you. --DougR

Table Header not Recurring - when Generate PDF from HTML with tables

Hello, It is not working as expected...and I'm not sure if the functionality is supported. Want to create PDF from html document. The html document contains a html table that typically contains a large number of rows. To make reading easier the html table used thead and tbody elements, and their children, so that when the table extends across pages when printed the header element recurs on each page. However, the header element is not recurring in the generated PDF document (it only occurs in the first row of the table). Just wondering if you have tried or used this functionality (created PDF from html with table with headers and the PDF included the table with recurring table header. And if so, did you do anything special to make it work. Thanks for any insight.

If there's a problem with that package, I suggest you speak to the developer of that package and ask them to investigate. It's not an Oracle supplied package so you are wrong to look for help here.

Firefox 3 displays the php code when pages launched from dreamweaver 8

The problem seems to relate to files opening as —
file:///C:/localweb/ .... when sent from Dreamweaver 8.0 to Firefox
The first html/php page loads correctly from dreamweaver as
processed HTML, a second page linked from either an HTML or php
page also loads correctly, but selecting any link from that or
subsequent pages displays the full php code instead of processed
html layout - so this appears to be a third level or greater
problem.
If I manually substitute -
http://localhost/ — the problem
does not arise.
This is a problem with version 3 of firefox, all previous
versions I used worked fine with both — file:///C:/localweb/
and
http://localhost/
Both prefixes also appear with pure HTML sites, but they load
and function correctly.
Not every php site I have loads with file:///C:/localweb/, so
I am wondering if this relates to something in the php code or
Dreamweaver - I have conn.php set to:
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
I use winxp and have xampp installed - everything worked fine
until I installed Firefox 3

> but selecting any link from that or subsequent pages
You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative
vs document
relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews
files.
If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like
this -
<img src="/images/foo.gif"...
That's what's called a root relative link.
If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the
document, sees
the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive,
since the
browser has no idea where the root of the site is. Thus, the
image is
broken in the preview.
If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert
the file being
previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the
browser. This temp
file has had all root relative links converted to document
relative links
(as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and
has had all
include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all
external CSS
and js markup embedded in the page. In other words, DW has
made the
document into a stand-alone page.
If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links
would be broken on
preview.
Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp
files enabled,
AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of
your links will
be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp
file. This is
what you are seeing.
So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use
document
relative links for the site -
<img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
These will still work on preview since the browser knows how
to determine
the current file's location and how to follow that path.
Make sense?

Error message when generating PDF from PageMaker

Hello, Unfortunately my client is still using PageMaker, despite the fact that it is no longer supported. Usually, I have no problem, but this is the error I have had today:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets fonts/TimesNewRomanPSMT%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I'm on Vista, with Acrobat 8.1.3 and I'm printing to PDF from PageMaker 7. It seems to be a font problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Finally managed to get the first two of the 3 books (making up the full publication) printed by doing "Export". The third one, which has been causing all the trouble has started giving me the font message again:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets fonts/TimesNewRomanPSMT%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I had ensured that the PDF box said "warn and continue".
I also get a dialog box telling me that only even pages will be printed, although I have specified even/uneven in the print dialog, and that blank pages will not be printed, although I have checked the blank page box.
Have tried to "Print" to PS and I have managed to generate a PS file with only a message telling me that Helvetica Neue could not be incorporated, which is fine. However, if I then try to create a PDF, I get the message above. Does this mean that my problem is with Distiller rather than in the file?
I have never had this problem before, and am baffled.

Why is PDFMaker using faux italics when creating pdf from Word?

Hi,
I have a word 2013 document using an opentype font, namely The Sans. Some of the words using that font are in italics.
If I print (Ctrl+P) the document to Adobe PDF, the pdf looks fine, and the fonts embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat are The Sans and The Sans Italic.
But if I use the PDFMaker plugin, the words in italics use some kind of faux italic, where the regular letters are just slanted. The font embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat is only The Sans.
I got sick of trying every possible parameter in the Word plugin, any idea of what to? Printing the document top pdf and then adding all the bookmarks by hand would be excruciatingly tedious.
I could also open the PDF in acrobat and select every occurence of an italic word, then re-set it to italic, which then uses the right italic version of the font, but come on...
Best,

Basically using the printer will always embed and use the italic font, e.g. with the standard, press or high quality print settings. Even though there is a checkbox ticked by default named "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document font", the result does not seem to change if this box is ticked or not.
If I use PDFMaker, no matter what settings I use I end up with the regular font being simply slanted. I even tried setting compatibility with Acrobat 1.7 and checking "Embed Opentype fonts".

Blurry text in Acrobat X Pro when creating PDF from Word 2010

I created a PDF document from Word 2010 and while most of the pages and formatting looks fine, about 1/5 of the pages have blurry Arial 10 pt text (it looks as if it was Arial bold out of focus). Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thanks for the reply.
The artifacts scale with the pdf.
Below is the 'p' from "participation" and the 'a' from "Apparatus" at 1600% and 6400%

REP-0499 when generating PDF from report

Hi,
I have a simple query in data model where I'm selecting Oracle database object :
select a.shape from table a;
shape is shapedefinition type that is composed of :
Axis varchar2(1),
x number(2),
y number(2),
z number(2)
when I generate report it works fine but when I try to generate to PDF file I get this error : REP-0499: Column 'Axis' selected by the query is incompatible with report definition
But when I run similar report but database object is composed entirely of number types I don't have this prob.
As far as I can tell, nothing has been changed in Database and it seems like this error only happens when I try to select from database object that contains varchar2 type.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Keeyang

Strange red line created when generating pdf from illustraot , why? need help to remove this

I have created file in illustrator (CS2 and CS5 no matter which one), then saved it as pdf file.
when I open the pdfs, there is a red line around the slides and I would like to remove it. It's annoying when viewing the slides.
How do I do this?

Yes, I would try to create a new master document and import the separate files. Even if you have saved all files to CS5.5 spec, there might still be some lingering meta data from the previous version and a fresh import might at least reveal such conflicts or ideally provide a clean slate by dismissing this outdated legacy stuff on import. If you are happy with CS5.5 and everything works, you can get rid of CS3, but I recommend to keep it around, even if you don't use it actively (maening löeave it installed, only deactivate it). Especially the CS3 installer is a fragile creature and a uninstall gone wrong might cause you more trouble than just letting it catch dust on your harddrive.

My iPod Classic continues to display the charging icon when its disconnected from the mains supply or computer.

It drains battery very quickly. What could be wrong with it?

Hi m4ttsmith,
If your iPod Classic is still showing the charging icon and appears to be draining the battery, you may want to got through the iPod Classic Troubleshooting Assistant:
