Can Acrobat create a PDF file not viewable after some date and/or number of times being opened?

Is it possible to restrict the usability of a PDF file in such fashion, regardless of which Adobe product tries to open the file, especially even when the file is opened with Acrobat Reader for example? If yes, does it require accessing Adobe's website or the solution could be totally 'stand alone'?
Any other ideas about restricting the usage of a PDF file, using Acrobat or any other tool?
Thanks, David

How can I create a pdf but not have it open in acrobat afterwards

I want to be able to create a pdf file but not have it open up in acrobat after it is created.
I am doing this in an Access application that outputs a report to a pdf and then faxes that pdf to a fax number associated with that report. It might loop thru several hundred reports so I don't want to have close several hundred pdfs manually, plus I doubt my computer could even handle that many opened pdf files. Is there someway of configuring acrobat so that it won't open after a pdf is created?
Thank you
Ben Tolsky

Using VBA I open up a report and then use the following code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, RptName, acFormatPDF, strFile, 0
RptName is the name of the report
strFile is C:\Reports\test.pdf
It creates the pdf no problem, its just that it opens it up afterwards. I would like it to not open up the pdf in acrobat because I want to loop thru several hunderd reports and fax them to different numbers.

How can I create multiple PDF files from multiple InDesign files?

I have 144 InDesign files that I need to create a PDF file for each. I do not want to open each InDesign file to create the PDF's. Acrobat Batch create won't open the InDesign files. Is there another way?

Only InDesign can do this. You may want to look at InDesign automation.

Can't create a PDF file from "printing" need help

hey I have Acrobat 8 professional and I used to be able to create PDF files by clicking print, selecting the Adobe PDF printer and so on. Recently it stopped letting me do this by stating that Windows can not print due to current printer setup. I was able to get around it for a while by clicking on save as, create PDF, and chooseing the quick and easy option...very frustrated, I don't know if I need to download a newer version or if it doesn't like my new HP officejet printer (which I removed from my default to try and see if that worked) done with my area of knowledge and need advise
Thanks

Hi Mate.
Have you checked to see if the print spooler service is running?
Go to desktop, right click "My Computer" and click "manage",
Open Services and Applications
Click Services
Scroll down to "print spooler" and right click it - does it say "start" or "stop" ?
if it allows you to "start" the printing service, it may be being disabled by something which could be endemic of another problem. HP printer install software is full of mad features these days. Print spooler should start itself automatically on bootup, if it doesn't, that might affect PDF printing.

Can Acrobat create a PDF using the same page numbers as FrameMaker?

I'm using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and Acrobat Pro 9. I know I can set the page numbers after I create the PDF (Advanced > Document Processing > Page Numbering), but is there any way to tell Acrobat (or Distiller) to do this automatically based on the page format set up in FrameMaker? Right now, the cover and inside cover have no page numbers, but I could assign them numbers and hide them. The TOC is lower case Roman numerals, and the rest of the book uses Arabic page numbering. Someone has asked whether we can have the page numbers be reflected in the page field so that when you enter page 10, it takes you to page 10 of the book (where 10 appears in the corner of the page), not the tenth page of the PDF, which might land you in the TOC.
We produce PDFs as part of an automated system, which is why I can't mess with it after it's been produced.

There is a FrameMaker plug-in that can do this:

Or, you might consider using PDFMark to add page labels.

Quality of pdf files not clear after conversion (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Std)

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 standard and my computer is running on Windows XP SP3 (with Office 2003 SP3). Everything used to works fine until my laptop crashed and I need to re-install everything.
Now when I want to convert PowerPoint presentation files (with pictures, diagrams), the pdf version becomes not clear and the fonts are smudged.
I have re-install Adobe twice but ended up with the same problems. My colleague is able to convert the same PowerPoint using CutePDF without any problem.
Please help. Thanks.

You may want to try the following steps:
open a pdf file
click Edit
click Preference
in Resolution section: select Use system setting: 144 pixels/inch
in Rendering section: select For Monitor, select Smooth line art, select Smooth images, select Use local fonts, select Use page cache
in Page Content and Information section: select Use smooth zooming, select Use smooth scrolling
click OK

PDf files not appearing after page loads

On several different sites, I've recently experienced a dark (black) screen after trying to view pdf files.
I cannot view any pdf files at present. The relevant page(s) seem to load and then the screen goes black. Any suggestions welcome.

What happens if you right click then Save as...
Or right click on the link to Download them & view with preview?
How about a link to see if it's common?
Have you tried more than one Browser?

When downloading a large PDF file, firefox stops after some of file and hangs up. Only way out is to close browser or power down. Internet explorer will complete download of same PDF file.

For example, go to irs.gov and try to download 1040 instructions as a PDF file. Firefox hangs up after part of the file is downloaded, but will not complete the download. The only way out is to close the browser (Firefox). Sometimes the only way out is to power down computer and reboot. I'm running Windows XP Professional. My computer has plenty of memory and disc space, so that is not the problem. When I use Internet Explorer (UGH!) it takes a while, but the very same pdf file will completely download.

Hi,
Convert the output of your report into a spool. You would find how to do this through this link below.
Send Report output to spool
After you create a spool use the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and convert your spool to PDF.

Email PDF file - create temp PDF file not where Report Run

I mail a report from Reports 6 automatically every morning using Rwrub60 and desname [email protected] in a batch file. The problem is that you need to have write access to the directory that contains the batch file or else you get a cannot create output file error. When I copy the batch file to another directory where write access is available, no problem but the batch file must be in the original directory.
I am trying to pass this onto someone elese who doesnt have the rights I have.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ive set this, although the temporary files that Reports usese are going there, the temp PDF isnt!!

How can I create a RAWpic-file with header(cluster of 8elements) and 2D Array?

I have created a cluster with 8 "I32"elements (Header). I also got picture information into a 2D array (i converted information from a ROI into a 2Darray("Image pixels(I16)")
Now I want to create a RAW picture file (first the header information followed by the picture information.)
I think I have to convert the Header-cluster into an array with "cluster to array". But even this is not possible(Info:"you cannot combine 2 different clusters"). Then I have to combine the 2 arrays with "insert into array"??? But the header array would be a 1Darray if the "cluster to array conversation" works and the picture information is 2D.
Can anyone help me please?

I think this is actually pretty straightforward, barring any byte-order issues. Attached is an image that demonstrates what I think jotthape wants to do.
The key is to let multiple Write File nodes do the work for you. There's no need to combine all the data into a single structure for the write, and avoiding that makes things easier in this case, because you don't have to worry about some of the data being I32 and the rest being I16.
Give this a shot,
John
P.S. It does seem likely that you will run into byte-order problems if you want to read your custom RAW file in using some other piece of Windows software. You can check the forum and the NI site for info on byte order, then ask a new question if you're still having a problem.

On websites I can never load a pdf file, the screen just stays blank and never shows it is even attempting to download the file

I go to www.copyright.gov. On homepage I select 'FAQ'. In 'FAQ' I select, under 'What does copyright protect?' I select the link "What works are protected." My location bar at the top now reads www.(in pale grey) copyright.gov(in dark black) /circs/circ01.pdf(again, in pale grey) and my screen is completely blank and there was no indication that it ever attempted to load. When I attempt the same procedure in Safari I get the pdf page.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

Acrobat 9.0 shared review not working after FrameMaker 11 and RoboHelp 10 are installed

Acrobat professsional 9.0 shared review function was working fine when I was using FrameMaker 7.2, but after I install FrameMaker 11 and RoboHelp 10, nothing happens when I select "Send for Shared Review" or "Attach for Email Review", no error messages, no prompts, just nothing...btw, the system is Windows XP SP3.
Is it a compatibility issue? Does the same issue happen to you and how you fix this? Thanks for your help..
Stephanie

We are getting this on certain machines and not others. I can't seem to be able to find a rhyme or reason. We are trying to initiate reviews on a shared internal network location.
A few questions for the forum:
Does Owner rights matter on the share that the review file is to be stored in? Currently we have Modify rights for all participants and initiators.
Does it make a difference which updates are installed past 9.0? Does it make a difference if Pro and Reader are installed?
Can someone confirm that the Acrobat.com is required to be installed on the machine? I noticed on the latest installs of reader acrobat.com application is not installed.
I'm posting this now because I haven't seen a clear cut answer to:
Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file
