Basic Interactive 3D PDF creation? Need answers....

I've got Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, and am trying to re-create a technical repair 3D pdf similar to the samples I've seen online (like the carburetor repair pdf located somewhere on this site). So far, I've been able to create my own animated 3D pdf from a STEP file in Acrobat 3D Reviewer and export it to PDF using the supplied template. From there, I want to create button click steps in the pdf that start/stop the animation steps. I've followed the outdated Acrobat 3D tutorial I found (on this site again), but my buttons and script won't work for me. If I try to attach Javascript, it kills my embedded animation. So all I have right now is a 3D pdf that keeps looping the animation and I can't figure out how to control it. Is there another basic tutorial or more information on what makes Javascript work inside a pdf? Is there anyone offering training on how to do this? Starting to lose the hair I have left.......thanks in advance for any replies....

Look at JS you attach in pdf. You must activate youre own embedded animation with this JS.

Help!!! I can't save multiple PDF documents into one single PDF! Need answers!

Hello!
I'm trying to save a very large PDF file. I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. There are about 200 plus pages and I'm trying to save merged PDF files as one single PDF document. I've compressed the PDF's as much as I could prior to saving. For some reason, the process of saving it as a single file takes a long time and usually doesn't work. Will a higher version of Adobe be faster? I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow. I'm unfamiliar with how it all works so I'm hoping someone could offer a simple explanation as to why this is happening and a solution on how to make something as simple as saving a document, go faster.
Thank you!

Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.

Need Guidance on s/w Architecture for Server PDF Creation & File Merge App

Please send me your recommendation on how to tackle this design requirement with the correct adobe software products. Let me know the s/w architecture you recommend too.
My client has a microsoft office 2010 application customized via VBA which is on a windows server. Users remote desktop connect to the server and run the application - multiple users running the application at once on the same server.
A new software enhancement is being requested to allow users to create PDF files. The PDF will need a customized coversheet (and if possible, a table of contents) as well as include entire existing PDFs all merged into one document. They would like to have a pop-up file selector interface then push a button to generate the PDF.
I understand the Acrobat library cannot be used in the server environment. What is the Adobe solution for this; is there a way to create a custom library (dll or such) perhaps using visual studio (c#?) that references the "Adobe PDF Library" (which I understand we'd have to license) which in turn the Office application VBA environment can add as a reference to get to the functionality needed?
Or - what do you receommend?
Thanks!

@Dan_Korn, I'll take a look at FusionPro. Thanks!
For the Adobe solution, I think its possible to have acrobat on the server when it's hosting users in their own remote desktop. I see Adobe has a citrix-based licensing solution so this or something similar could work for us.
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Citrix_Policy_AX_AXI_11-12-2012.pdf
We only have a couple users of our custom ERP application that need the PDF merge/edit "button" to do their job. LiveCycle sounds wonderful but from what I've heard it costs in the tens of thousands. (I am not able to find a price list on the Adobe site.) For a couple of users LiveCycle is overkill.
Buying an acrobat license for all the company employees that use our custom application in the server hosted environment is out of the question. (I see the acrobat costs $450 for one seat as of today.)
You might say why not split our custom application into two - one version that uses acrobat (for the couple of users) and one that doesn't? But, this will burden us with the increased costs of maintaining two custom applications and require users to switch between applications just to push one button.
It's never easy!

Create Interactive 3D PDF file from Illustrator CS4 DXF or DWG iii

Hi,
I posted similar question in the Mac Creative Suite section and Acrobat and I was asked to move my question here to Illustrator so i hope no one gets angry with me. I wasn't sure where to post because I'm not sure what direction to go.
I want to create an interactive 3D PDF, the kind with the 3D controls which allow you to rotate the product to view it at different angles and sides.
What I have are DWG or DXF files from SolidWorks that I would like to use in Illustrator to apply artwork onto the CAD frame. Using the Illustrator 3D tool I can rotate the product but I have no way to export the U3D file format which Acrobat requires to generate a 3D PDF file.
How can I accomplish this? I need some direction to go in as far as bridging applications together in order to make this work.
Is there an Illustrator plugin to export U3D?
I basically need to apply graphics to a CAD frame first in Illustrator then get it into an interactive 3D model.
I tried downloading Blender but I can't even get it to open my DXF file.
I tried downloading Esko Artwork Studio but that plugin tells me I don't have a Structured Design File to work with.
I've read online hear about Acrobat X and Tetra but I'm having a hard time connecting the "software dots" to get where I want to go from what I have to work with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, you don't need Illustrator at all... To output a 3D PDF, you will need tools liek Deep Exploration CAD Edition or the export features of the respective CAD programs in which the drawings were created. And STEP and IGES are both standardized CAD interchange formats not specifically tied to a specific CAD program...

XML Publisher Integration: OAF Page in invalid after PDF creation

Hello,
after days of googling and trying out various code changes in vain I hope to find help in this forum.
The requirement is to extend the shipment page PosAsnMainPage in iSupplier Portal, adding the creation and download of PDF shipping documents for the orders selected in the table. These documents can be created for multiple shipments at once, always resulting in exactly one PDF file.
To achieve this, I have added a button to the page that triggers the event "XxpoPrintShippingDocuments". In the controller class that extends the standard iSupplier Portal Controller, I have extended processFormRequest as follows:
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
if(strEvent.equals("XxpoPrintShippingDocuments") && ("Y").equals(pageContext.getProfile("XXPO_DROPSHIPDOCUMENTS_SECURITY")))
outputDropshipDocuments();
}//end processFormRequest
private void outputDropshipDocuments()
* on the view object, compose a list of PoHeaderId, PoLineId, LineLocationId from the rows that were selected
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject) am.findViewObject("PosShipmentsVO");
* Create PDF and a pop-up window for download
//file info
String fileName = pageContext.getMessage("XXPO", "XXPO_SD_FILENAME", null);
String fileType = "PDF";
boolean appendDate = true;
//template info
String appName = getApplicationName(vendorSiteId);
String templKey = getTemplateKey(vendorSiteId);
//user info
Integer userId = new Integer(pageContext.getUserId());
try
XxpoShippingDocumentsOut out = new XxpoShippingDocumentsOut(pageContext, webBean);
* Save the printed status
* This is supposed to be done here instead of during xml generation.
* If any uncaught exception occurs before, the printed status remains unchanged.
Class printClasses[] = {Map.class, Integer.class};
Serializable printParams[] = {selectedOrders, userId};
am.invokeMethod("savePrintStatus", printParams, printClasses);
out.setFileInfo(fileName, fileType, appendDate);
out.outputFile(xmlDoc, templKey, appName);
} catch (Exception e)
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), OAException.WARNING);
Finally, in XxpoShippingDocumentsOut.outputFile there is the following code:
public void outputFile(XMLDocument xmlDoc, String templateKey, String appName)
try {
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
response.setContentType(contentType);
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
xmlDoc.print(outputStream);
ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(outputStream.toByteArray());
ByteArrayOutputStream File = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OADBTransactionImpl transaction = (OADBTransactionImpl) am.getOADBTransaction();
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
transaction.getAppsContext(),
appName,
templateKey,
transaction.getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
transaction.getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
outputType.byteValue(),
null,
File);
* write the output to the HttpServletResponse object and flush -
* this creates the pop-up window
byte[] b = File.toByteArray();
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
response.setContentLength(b.length);
os.write(b, 0, b.length);
os.flush();
os.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
response.setContentType("text/html");
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), OAException.ERROR);
Most of this works just fine - I select some orders on the standard iSP page, press the button and download the PDF file. But after that, the page is not "valid" any longer: the selections made are still visible but when a button is pressed (for instance the Create Shipment Notice or my own button), I get an error stating that items must be selected first.
If I deactivate the lines in outputFile that set the response or flush the output stream, I can further use the previously made selections and everything works fine - except I don't get the PDF I need, obviously.
Does anyone have an idea of what is missing here to reload the page or anything? Is there any workaround (i.e. opening the file downlad in a separate browser tab)?
I'd be grateful for any advice on this. If you wish any further information, please let me know.
Best regards,
Michelle

Word crashes mid PDF creation - Word 2003 Acrobat 9.3.0

I have a new PC and a fresh clean install of CS5 Design Permuim, including Arobat 9. The organisation is still using Office 2003 and no upgrade path in sight for that. Myself and several colleagues with the same software profile are now experiencing frequent problems with Word crashing mid PDF creation.
This has always been an issue with the ocassional Word file in Acrobat 8, but Distiller always worked as an alternative - NOT this time!
PDF Maker gives no error message, just that Word has encounted a problem and needs to close.
Distiller produces the following log message, then freezes completely. I then have to force quit Word to exit!
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/mF_OTF_V
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Not all documents are affected, but I can remove almost all of the content from the affected document and it still causes the error.
I have tried repairing Acrobat - no change.
One other odd symptom - after each crash, the default printer on the machine has changed to Adobe PDF.
I can successfulkly make the PDF on another machine which has not been upgraded to Acrobat 9. The rest of the settings are identical on the two machines, they are both running a standard organisation environment, with the same verion of word etc.
Can anyone suggest how to fix or at least isolate the cause of the problem?

Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
Also do let us know
a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
Thanks,
Vishal

Repetitive PDF creation issue in PREVIEW (Terminal option to not save?)

i have a real annoying issue in Preview which i generally find to be a model of efficiency. it is for pdf creation and goes like this:
i scan 50 images into Preview in order to create a pdf to send to someone.
i rotate them and make sure they are properly ordered and oriented.
i select them all and go to print pulldown menu item
then i select the pdf button at the bottom lower left (this is redundant and would be really nice to eliminate by providing a PRINT TO PDF pulldown)
anyway, then i create the pdf and i try to CLOSE OUT of Preview.
however - since i don't need the images any more i am not MANUALLY SAVING ALL THESE IMAGES by CLICKING SAVE on each of the 50 images (this is a pain too and would really be nice to fix)
/instead/ what i have to do is to click DELETE on all 50 images in order to simply close out of Preview after having saved my PDF.
is there a better way to do this and if so what is it.
also, why isn't preview smart enough to not act like adobe software and to give me a "Don't Save All" or "Delete All" button instead of giving me carpal tunnel confirming this on each image.
is there a Yes <> No switch in Terminal that will turn this off??

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.

White Noise showing up in images after PDF Creation

I am currently running into an issue making PDFs from InDesign CS4. Lately, our company has been getting some rather large jobs in to print and that's when this all started.
The current job is 190 pages plus cover that will be perfect bound. The client, nor I can make one large PDF from this job so we have to break it up into sections. Usually each of the PDF sections has around 20-50 pages per.
Now the issue we're running into is that on some of the pages, an image will end up with a bar or lines in it that looks like white noise. Like the image information was lost for a short period of time during the PDF creation from InDesign.
Here are two pictures of pages from separate jobs and a close up on what's going on. **Second image was from a 32 page plus cover document we have already printed.
Now in order for me to fix this issue is to just make a single page PDF of the effected pages in the document. I just wish I knew what was causing this issue so I know how to avoid it in the future. So far four jobs have been affected like this; two 32 page + cover jobs, a 64 page + cover job, and is job.
We use a Rampage Workflow system here. My PDF settings in InDesign CS4 has all compression turned off, no profiles or color conversion turned on. I keep compression turned off because it seems sometimes, vector art done in Illustrator does not seem to come out looking well when RIP'd in Rampage.
My main computer is a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4 BG of memory running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
My current version of InDesign CS4 is 6.0.3. If anyone has run into this problem or if anyone has any helpful hints for me, I could really use them please. If you need more information from me, I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Thanks for all the help!

That one has come up every now and then and has always been hardware as far as I know.... bad ram, bad cable, bad drive, bad network maybe even bad video card (?).
I see that the lines in the rotated pic are parallel with that pic, so maybe look at the machine where that pic was made and placed first, this is not definite, but you can get corruption in tiffs on machines with hardware errors and they may not be visible every time you open the file.
Although probably a bigger clue is the fact that doing singles is working better, that would make me change the ram completely, suspecting a bad module. Also, unplug peripheral devices and see if that has any bearing.

Create Interactive 3D PDF file from Illustrator CS4 DXF or DWG

Hello,
I'm looking for some direction. I want to create an interactive 3D PDF, the kind with the 3D controls which allow you to rotate the product to view it at different angles and sides.
What I have are DWG or DXF files from SolidWorks that I would like to use in Illustrator to apply artwork onto the CAD frame. Using the Illustrator 3D tool I can rotate the product but I have no way to export the U3D file format which Acrobat requires to generate a 3D PDF file.
How can I accomplish this? I need some direction to go in as far as bridging applications together in order to make this work.
Is there an Illustrator plugin to export U3D?
I tried downloading Blender but I can't even get it to open my DXF file.
I tried downloading Esko Artwork Studio but that plugin tells me I don't have a Structured Design File to work with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 9 install error

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and was able to install Robohelp HTML without any problems. However, when I try to install the Adobe PDF Creation Add-On I get the following message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Since I rely on the PDF Creation Add-On to create PDF files I need to find a resolution to this problem. Is there a Window 7 version of the Robohelp installer that I can use?

10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
impact than previously described:
1. Open a pdf document in Preview
2. Select a region and save to clipboard
3. Save as a new pdf file
4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

rcberwick wrote:
So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects
"multiple applications, including any that deal with pdf files" but that "no fix is
currently in the works"
That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.

Adobe PDF Creation Add-on keeps installing!

Hi. I have a annoying problem on my Vista computer. Every time I click on a pdf related folder, program or file "Adobe PDF Creation Add-on" installs. Again and again, and all over again. Please help me fix this issue.
Greeting from Norway
(If you need more spesifications just say so :P )

Did you ever figure out how to fix your problem? I've got the same issue. I installed Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 upgrade and now it continually tells me its installing whenever I:
1. Start my computer
2. Start MS Office 2007
3. Start Mozilla Firefox
If I disable the addon to make PDFs then it doesn't try to install. The installation obviously doesn't work because even if I allow it to complete the installation process and restart it still tries to install again and the software doesn't work properly. Sometimes Acrobat opens, other times it just keeps trying to install.
If you have figured out how to fix it, It would be nice if you could pass on the info.
I did try using the MS Office installation cleaner (another forum recomended it), but that was totally useless.
Thanks

Acrobat stops functioning halfway through PDF creation

I have to convert a very large WORD document (a book, 680 pages including illustrations, tables, index etc.) to PDF. Let me begin by explaining that I've already done this in the past, using Acrobat Professional 5 and Office 2000 Professional; it took ages to create the PDF file, but I was able to do it. At that stage I actually had Acrobat 6, but since it blocked halfway through PDF creation, I went back to Acrobat 5 and managed to create my PDF file.
I've recently had to revise the document in question, but I now have Office 2007, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, and a new laptop (Acer Aspire 5105, AMD Turion 64x2, 2.0 GHz, 160GB HDD). I tried converting it to pDF yesterday, but once again found that the program blocked halfway through (while creating Tags; it gets up to 60%, and then just stops functioning). I thought this might have something to do with the sceensaver starting up, or else the automatic saving of the WORD document, but I don't think this is the case.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be, and how o solve it?
Mark

It should convert exactly as long as you have done the editing with the Adobe PDF printer selected. This is a WORD issue. The ability to do the conversion was my concern and tags are likely the issue for such a large document, particularly if you have a lot of graphics. Keep in mind that to create the PDF, a PS file is first created -- that is a format that is not very small in terms of storage and could be huge. Your TEMP folder is typically limited by windows and may need to be emptied to hold this file.
Optimizing the graphics up front is also good. Using Mike's suggestion to find the problem graphic would be useful, but is hard to do with PDF Maker (I don't think you can select the pages with PDF Maker). Printing to the Adobe PDF printer will check the layout and also the ability to do the conversion. If the latter works, it is then a matter of determining what you need in PDF Maker.
If you do not need the markup (or wish to add later), then you can save a lot of space by simply printing to the Adobe PDF printer. With PDF Maker, you likely need to go back and review the defaults.
