Can't adjust curves in file opened from pdf

I need to include several pages of pdfs in a book. The pdfs are scanned text documents, image only, with no security applied. When I open the pdf on my mac pro with photoshop cs6, I can make adjustments in the curves dialog, but when I close the dialog the adjustments disappear. The history pallette shows the action, but nothing happened. Also can make visible changes in a curves adjustment layer, but when I flatten the image the changes disappear. I've tried opening the pdf as grayscale, rgb, and cmyk; same result. I've also saved it in several different formats, then reopened it; same result. The file initially opens as a background layer with a locked symbol in the layers pallette. If I duplicate the layer and delete the background, the locked symbol disappears, but photoshop still won't accept changes made in the curves dialog. I tried it with cs4, and had a friend try the same things with on a pc; same result. Levels adjustment won't work, either. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

My earlier reply was from my work login, capbooks, so the username is different. Sorry for the confusion.
After realizing why curves wouldn't work on this document, I figured out what led me astray in the first place: when I went to open the pdf page in photoshop, photoshop's import pdf dialog didn't give me the option of opening as a bitmap. The only mode choices are grayscale, rgb, cmyk, and lab.
Thanks again.

How can I delete a music file directly from iPhone? Or not possible?

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC?

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC and ensure that it is synced automatically? For example, if I add or modify a file in that folder it should be added to iTunes automatically. At the same time the original files in the folder should not be re-organized. That is can I just point to a music folder in my hard drive and sit back for iTunes to do the rest?

Why can I not download a converted file (xl from pdf)?

I have a converted file (XL from PDF) but I cannot download it. Never before had a problem. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Peter,
I'd like to assist!
What is happening when you try to convert from PDF to Excel? Are you receiving a specific error message? Was the file an Excel doc prior to being converted to PDF?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
With Acrobat XI installed:
"File - Save As Other" --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
The export will be of the OCR content.
Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
Be well...

Can anyone help? I just opened my PDF and letters are missing in each word and sentence. I am using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI

Hi gretchenm66156293,
Are you running into this issue with one PDF in particular, or with any PDF that you open? Did the PDF display correctly previously? How was that PDF created?
For starters, please choose File > Properties and click the Fonts tab. What fonts are used in the PDF? Are they "embedded" or "subsetted."
I would be happy to take a look at the PDF here, if you'd like. Let me know!
Best,
Sara

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

Office files opened from network drive appear to be blank for Mac Users

Hi all,
We've got five macs in our office running 10.9 with Office 2011, and we have a file server running 10.8 which stores all of our documents.
More often than not, when one of the macs opens a DOC or DOCX from the file server, the file opens up blank.
There aren't invisible fonts, doing a Select All and changing to black doesn't help.
The files appear to be fine when opened in Finder, or with LibreOffice (which my colleagues don't want to use!)
The files open correctly when the files are moved to the local hard drive and opened from there.
The files also open fine via the network on a Windows 8.1 PC with Office 2007.
Has anyone else had this problem, and got a workaround? I've been looking at this for a while but not found anything as of yet.
Appreciate any assistance you can give. :)
Kind Regards,
Yolo Swaggins

Browser can't find a text file opened via the save as dialogue box

Hi there,
I have a servlet which outputs a file using the servlet output stream, with the following lines set:
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename="+ fileName);
servletOutStream.write(myBytes);
servletOutStream.flush();
It works fine for .doc files and it seems the mechanism is that it is saved to the Temporary Internet Folder and delivered from there when the user clicks on the 'open' or 'save' option in the browser popup dialogue box. However... when I try this with text files, (setting the content type to "text/plain") I get the open/save dialogue box up correctly but if I try to open the file it says it cannot find the file, and gives the path under the Temporary Interenet Folder. If I look in there the text file isn't present - though the .doc files are.
So... it looks as if the problem is that for some reason it doesn't save the text files correctly to the Temporary Internet Folder.
I can't deliver the text files inline as a solution as the filename is lost and it thinks it's an html file (which the client doesn't want).
Any ideas?
Alison

At least also set the content length. Your browser may be configured be the default application to open textfiles. If the contentlength is not set, then most applications would refuse to open the file without choosing for 'Save' first and manually open it.

CS4 InDesign Slow with files opened from shared drive

We have an issue that I can't seem to figure out...
I have six different people using Word files and InDesign files that are being opened from a server. When going from Word into InDesign (or vise verse) it takes a few seconds for the cursor to become active; however if the user is copying text from Word to any other Adobe product (Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark) no lag at all. They are also all getting a PDF creation failed when trying to save to the server (error is attatched).
It's not a specific file because all six people have the same issue, and they're all working on separate projects.
It's not machine specific since (again) all six Macs have the issue.
Obviously it's an InDesign issue, but what, and why all of a sudden?
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated.

My first guess would be that the client OS version could be apart of it - small changes to the SMB client in 10.6 could explain it. I'd also be interested in looking at the firewall issue. It may well be a combination of both.
I think said earlier that working locally was not a problem, so you've already done the first logical test. Next, I'd think about trying the following, the order of which I'd base on their level of difficulty:
Temporarily put one of the problematic client machines inside the firewall (or the server outside of it, though I assume that would be harder/impossible)
Either upgrade one the of the problematic machines to 10.6.2, or create a Snow Leopard boot system with InDesign installed (on an external drive?) from which you can boot the machine
I'm sure getting rid of the firewall is not a long term solution, but it would be good to know for future reference whether the firewall is involved. Would upgrading to Snow Leopard be in the cards if it does seem to fix it?
