CF 8 - pdf format changes with page count

when crating a cfdocument as pdf format when we create a
document approx. 500 pages or less everything is fine. when we go
over that number the font size and some formatting changes. we are
at a complete loss as to why this happening as we have checked and
rechecked every option possible. even going as far as scaling the
report down to only 1 or 2 lines. very bizarre. any thoughts on why
this is or a direction to troubleshoot this would be great. thanks
-Ralph

I'm not sure if this helps, but we've noticed formatting changes when the PDF writer considers the items in the cfdocument page too big for the layout (fonts resizing, inconsistent styling, etc). We shrunk our content down (especially images) to make sure everything fit on screen. also, if you are using images, make sure you are placing images in the cfdocument at the same height/width as the actual image file.
Not sure how helpful that's going to be - sounds like your issue is more about raw file size than anything else, but thought I would mention it.

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

PDF Color issues with Pages 09

I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
Any ideas?

Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

Converting Word to pdf. Problem with page breaks

I have Office 2007 and I am trying to convert a 100 page word document into pdf. However, the pages are breaking different and I end up with more pages in the pdf document which causes problems with my table of contents and index. Any advice on how to convert the Word doc exactly into pdf? Thanks

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

How can I programatically control the names of files output from Labview into .pdf format (ie with Adobe PDF Writer or Distiller)?

I would like to save some data forms for a standard test controlled with labview in a pdf format. Due to the large number of forms and test reports, I would like to have Labview automatically assign the .pdf file name based on test number already contained in the labview code. How can I do this.
Note: This question is very similar to:
"Labview and Adobe Acrobat output" posted by John Balone on 1/26/2000. The reponses offered good suggestions but it is not clear to me how to implement them.

This information is essential if you plan to use the Acrobat Distiller printer driver and any of the examples listed here:

Embed Video PDF InDesign Booklet with Page Transitions & Playable Video

e.g.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign...3D6C6A460.html
also such as:
http://www.page-flip.com (although yet to implement feature...)
So...
Is there any way to get embedded video within pdf - once placed in InDesign - to export (either swf or xfl) creating a booklet-type publication with page transitions (curl/ page-flip) with the videos playable?

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

Is it possible to override the built-in PDF format handler with a custom IFilter for PDF?

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 comes with a built-in "format handler" for PDF now, so it can index PDF files out of the box. This is great for most users, as it now no longer is necessary to install a third-party IFilter for crawling PDF documents.
My question is, is it possible to override the built-in format handler for PDF with a custom IFilter for PDF? I played with the Set-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormatState and Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat cmdlets. While it is possible to deactivate
the built-in format handler, I was not able to remove it and to create a new one that activates a custom IFilter for PDF files.
Background of the question: While the new built-in format handler for PDF will probably be sufficient for many SharePoint users, some need additional capabilities regarding indexing if PDF documents, e.g. extraction of custom metadata from PDF's document
information dictionary and embedded XMP metadata. PDFlib GmbH, the company I work form, sells an IFilter for PDF, and of course we would like to continue to offer this for SharePoint 2013.
Thanks
Stephan

You should be able to replace it with any ifilter you want, this is the procedure for installing it:
Install PDF iFilter 9.0 (64 bit) from
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025 (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025)
Download PDF icon picture from Adobe web site
http://www.adobe.com/misc/linking.html (http://www.adobe.com/misc/linking.html) and copy to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\
Add the following entry in docIcon.xml file, which can be found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\XML
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdficon_small.png" />
Add pdf file type on the File Type page under Search Service Application
Open regedit
Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\15.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension
Right-click > Click New > Key to create a new key for .pdf
Add the following GUID in the default value
{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}
•Restart the SharePoint Server Search 15
•Reboot the SharePoint servers in Farm
•Create a Test site (with any out-of-box site template) and create a document library upload any sample PDF document(s).
•Perform FULL Crawl to get search result.
Once the crawl is completed we will get search results.

Printing to PDF - Format A1 with ArchiCAD

I cannot seem to print to PDF larger than A3. I have added a custom paper size (A1) and also tried installing the drivers for an HP Plotter.
But regardless each time I try to save my layout from ArchiCAD 10 I can only save as A3 pdf.
Any help would be great...
MdW

Ok, I think I found what needs to be changed, but I cannot set it "permanently" - that's what I need to figure out now.
When it comes up with the print dialog, I choose Adobe Acrobat as my printer, and then in the print dialog, there is a properties button. That opens a window and one of the options is labeled "Adobe PDF Page Size" - this seems to default to be blank. If I set that to "Letter" everything works as I want.
So the question is, how do I make "Adobe PDF Page Size" default to "Letter" under the Adobe Acrobat properties?

How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks. When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet. But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page. Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read. I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched from excel to numbers).

One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it. Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.

Converting pdf into jpeg with Pages

I took some scrapbook digital images and dragged them into pages. I then added pictures and text box. I used to go to Print and then save as jpeg but it won't allow me. I keep getting an error message and have no idea what it means. Finished project opens in Preview.
The action “Copy Finder Items” encountered an error.Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
I just upgraded to Lion today.

If you want to convert a whole page:
Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.
Click the PDF button at the lower left and choose Save PDF.
In the Finder, locate the saved file, Right click on it's icon and choose Open with... Preview.
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
Alternate method (for less than a full page, also works for full page)
Select all of the objects on the page.
Go Arrange > Group
Copy
Launch Preview, then go File > New from Clipboard (or press command-N)
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
These methods work in previous versions of Mac OS X. I'm unable to test them in Lion.

Barry

Text format changing on page load

Hi all
I have a rather bizarre problem. On page load my text appears and then I get a brief period of time where line spacing is correct and then it reduces?
http://www.chatsworthklein.co.uk/home.html
Any thoughts would be most appreciated as its rather annoying.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Update;
doesnt do it when I open the file locally?
I now have the whole text area moving until a graphic appears?

Page Count

I have had a couple of documents that add blank pages no matter what you change the page count to....it drives me totally craxy. Close it and open it or make a pdf and get extra pages. It is only in the body section of the document. We have cover, toc, body, and then back cover. A co-worker is having the same problem with a document.
Page Count Set to Don't Change in book and document. I thought I had read about this somewhere but couldn't find it.
Is there an eaxy answer to correcting?

You also have to look at the following chapter to see if it's been set
to start on a left- or right-hand page. If, for example, chapter 1 is
three pages long, chapter 2 cannot start on page 4 if it's set to begin
on a right-hand page. So FrameMaker inserts a blank page 4 to make
chapter 2 start on a right-hand page (page 5).
From the book window, right-click on the file(s), select Pagination,
and set 1st Page Side to "Next Available." Note that this option is not
available when setting pagination from within a document window.
