Blocking parts of pdf file

when i use the drawing markup tools to say, block out portions of sensitive data in a document, the data/image is still being printed although on the screen within Acrobat 7, the area is blackened out.
i'm using the highlighter and rectangular drawing tools, coloring them black as if i'd used a black marker. but it still prints out.
how do i permenatly block out portions of a doctument using the tools in Acrobat pro 7?

Keep in mind that the tools you are using are only markup and printing only the document gets the data right back. If you are talking about scanned pages (sounds like it), you can open each page in a graphics editor (automated if in PhotoShop), clear the area, and convert back to the PDF. With AA7 that is about all you can do.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe are constantly blocking access to PDF files

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe (Version 7.0 (9537.71)) are constantly blocking access to PDF files.
I can intuit what this is all about, however, I can find no information about it... the Adobe Plugin/Safari is apparently building a "white-list" of "trusted sites," but I can not find any information about this white-list -- where it is stored, how to revoke permisions, how to "one-time" permissions, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am experiencing this exact same behavior since upgrading to Mavericks, too.

Reader X is blocked when open pdf file via click on file name

I have installed Reader X 10.0.0 (10.0.0.407) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.1 (9.4.0195.) on a Desktop and a Notebook (Win XP SP3).
In the case I click on a PDF file on both systems often (but not in any case, found no rule until yet ...) following happens:
- Click on PDF file (in file list of TotalCommader or Copernic Desktob Search)
- Reader X opens
- Document area gets white (not grey).
- Reader is blocked.
- I cannot braek this application - reboot is necessarry in any case (costs me lots of time).
Parallel to this behavieor I can open the same pdf document by Acrobat Pro without any problem.
This did never happen with Reader 9.4.1 - The reason must be Reader X.
Is this a known bug?

FTP directory from part of PDF file name

Hi,
I have a requirement to FTP a pdf file to a server directory according to fist 10 char of the file name. I am able to get the file name using variable substitution method but how can i chop the 1st 10 char of file name as my directory? As the file is a .pdf i didn't do any data mapping.
Thanks

Hi,
If you dont have any Mapping Objects,then writing adapter module to change file name is the right option
or you can create dummy message mapping and add dynamic configuration UDF ,but in your case you trasfering PDF documents,this option is not feasible.
or writing Java map is the other alternatine,but it is not recommanded to your requirement,because once again you need change the .add IR objects.
Writen adapter module,
add and chnage below code as per module and your requirement
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
String timestamp = dateformat.format(new Date());
String filename_new=fileNametimestamp".txt";
conf.put(key, filename_new);
return "";

Extract image in PDF file - vba code in Excel

Hi All,
I am applying a solution for my company. We have some Front offices which receive customers' requests in paper form.
We have one Back Office which is receiving the customers' original paper requests from Front Office via courier mail.
To improve the efficency, I am trying to apply a solution which allow the Front Offices to scan the paper requests into PDF files.
Those scanned files will be accessed by Back Office to process.
Given the volume of the requests, it is impossible to open each file in the folder by clicking mouse.
I have completed the tool (using Excel and vba ) which displays all of the requests (PDF files) as hyperlinks in Excel list.
The requests are ranked with priority so that the Back Office people know which to process first.
That solution works well.
However, Back Office has just requested me to display certain fields in the PDF files as image in Excel's cells so that they can type the information to the system without having to open the PDF files. The way that the images are displayed on Excel cells is an extraction of part of PDF page.
I know that in Adobe Reader, I can use my mouse to select part of the area then copy to clipboard, so I hope that we can do the extraction programmatically.
Could anyone can help me figure out how to implement above extraction solution in Excel vba?
I am facing 2 concerns:
1. Acrobat SDK:
I don't know if my company purchased license of Acrobat SDK or not. But when I open Excel VB editor, I can see in "Reference" menu the below items:
   + Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Type Library 1.0
   + Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library
   + Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library
Are the above enough for my application?
2. VBA code for extraction of part of PDF files:
- What should be on the vba code for the extraction? Which functions I should use?
Thank you very much
Cheers

The functionality that you require is not available to VBA/COM - it is only exposed via C/C++.
However, you could retrieve the ENTIRE page image to the clipboard and then use whatever VB/VBA methods you choose to grab a section of the image.
Of course, this all assumes that Adobe Acrobat is installed on each person's computer that will be using the solution since Reader does not have the necessary APIs and Acrobat can't be installed on a server.

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.

How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf
Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
Scope?
I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
- the smallest possible file size
- which displays images and text sharp on the screen
- which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
- that is flattened for easy print
The problem?
▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
Further explanation
The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
▪ With InDesign 5.0?
→ In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
Standard > PDF/X-format?
Compatibility > PDF-version?
Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                        which method and settings to I have to use ?
Ouput > How can I control colors and PDF/X output intent profiles in the PDF-file?
Advanced > How can I control fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are
                  in the PDF file?
▪ With Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
→ How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
→ How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
!! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
WHAT CAN I DO ??

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com. The ExportPDF service functions as a PDF to *.docx file convertion and we can't help with problems specific to the desktop version of Acrobat or InDesign. I'm happy to point you in the right direction.

How to download a Block List based ALV report to PDF file?

Hi Everyone,
I need to display a report in block list alv format using REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY... I have done this. But my problem comes next.
1. I need to download this report to a pdf file in the user given directory - in presentation server. How can I download this in PDF format.
2. My report has TOP_OF_LIST and END_OF_LIST events. The body of the report contains a table with some material data. There should be 1 table for each material no. There are around 50 records for each material no. So I am looping at the material no. and calling REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND.
Now my problem is that I should have only 20 records in each page. How can I determine this? How do I put a page-break?
Please anyone help me.

Hi Anwesha
You can send the report output to spool using the IS_PRINT parameter of REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY FM. Then read the spool number generated and pass it to CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to get the pdf content which could be downloaded to presentation server.
The splitting of records on count could be done by calling above method with different internal table filtered as per your requirement.

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

Cyrillic Characters not shown in pdf file when xsl is parsed part 2:

I am using Fop to create a pdf file from an XSL file, an XML file and a ApplicationResources.properties file.
The XML file is populated by a Java class, where the information is taken from a Russian Database. This XML file is them used to populate the XSL file.
The ApplicationResources.properties file, is in windows 1251 format, as we converted it using NativeToAscii converter.
I downloaded a cyrillic ttf file, and created a metrics file, according to the Fop website. And I had Russian appearing on my PDF from the database (not ApplicationResources.properties file though). However, the information which we were retrieving from the database would not display on the jsp pages which are part of the same application.
To fix this, we changed our database driver from a ODBC-JDBC driver, to an oracle thin type 4 driver.
Since this happened, my cyrillic characters no longer appear on my PDF file.
I know that the information from the database comes back in windows 1251 format, so I tried to put the
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1251"?>
but when I do this, I get the following error in my log file:
L2|14:14:58:433|ExecuteThread-9|PDFService.generatePDF: class com.petrotechnics.skyobma.service.SkyobmaServiceException Exception :javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "Cp1251" is not supported.
or the windows-1251 is not supported.
I do not know what to do at all, I am really struggling and was wondering if anyone had any idea about where I can go from here, or even if someone can just tell me I am fighting a loosing battle I would be happy.
Yours Truly Hopefully,
Gillian Daniel

either you configure FOP to use a SAX Parser that supports Cp1251 or you encode your XML data to UTF-8.
we flawlessly generate Greek PDF documents out of data selected from Oracle 8.1 by using UTF-8.

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.
I am able to download the BLocked ALV output in PDF format,
but the each bolck in ALV is displaying different pages of PDF.
In my report I have 4 block in 1 page, I am able to see the output in PDF but in different page.
How to avoid the Page-break in PDF.
Thanks,
Ravi Yasoda.

hi,
I believe that your have 4 containers on the screen with individual ALV display. in this case, there is no way to get combined PDF output to my knowledge.
However you can use Smartform/Sapscript as output which would allow you to display ALV in blocks and also print it in one.

I cannot print a pdf-file normally, parts are good (good black printed) and parts are very light

Some parts of my page i can read some parts i cannot, that is, the text is much to light.
Mostly it happens with PDF-files and email and internet, i use the hp laserjet P1006

Yes i tried with new reader version 11.0.8, If i print file using these two reader versions 9.1 and 11.0.8 are giving good print exactly like in the file but the only problem is from c# program using 'DDE Commands' if i send the same file to the same printer this print looks differently ('colors shift and the black text prints a lot darker'') for sample code please see my first message. Do i need to change any thing in my code? Please do the needful.

PDF file shows different numbers of text blocks in CC 2014 and CS6

Hi,
I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
As viewed in CC 2014:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
As viewed in CS 6:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks.
David

First of all, there is no such thing as Acrobat CS6 or Acrobat CC 2014. We assume you are referring to Acrobat X and Acrobat XI respectively.
Secondly, how are you determining how many text blocks are in the PDF file? By use of the text touchup/edit function in Acrobat? If so, how this edit function displays text doesn't necessarily correspond to the actually underlying text fragments in the PDF file. In fact, sometimes it combines fragments based on heuristics. Those heuristics have varied with different version of Acrobat.
PDF as a file format doesn't know the context of the graphical objects such as text. There is no concept of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a column, etc. in terms of text. Runs of text are context-insensitive. You will get “breaks” when switching between regular and italics or when unusual paragraph justification is involved.
Is the actual problem in trying to edit the text or something else?
If you post a file, and indicate what text we should look at, we can confirm what is actually going on in your file.
