Changing a prn file back to a pdf file

I was using an on line pdf reader and did not have a printer, so I saved it not a pdf file but a file to print (prn) file.
How do I convert it back to a pdf file and so I can print it?

You probably can't. But it depends. Do you know what printer driver you used to make the PRN file?

I can't seem to print to PDF from other programs. I have Acrobat 9 (with latest update), Windows 8, and when I try to print to PDF it defaults to a *.prn file, and when I change the name to *.pdf the file that it produces doesn't open.

I can print to PDF using PDF995, but not the regular Adobe PDF that comes up in the list of printers.
I've tried repairing the Adobe installation, but that didn't help.

It might help to understand the process, though I am almost surprised that AA 9 worked for printing on Win 8 (thanks for that info). Normally the print process is to print to the Adobe PDF printer (without the print-to-file checked). The process does create a PRN file that is actually a PS file. AcroTray (running in the background) completes the process of taking the PS file and running Distiller in the background to create the PDF. If you have problems, you should be able to print to file (assuming the print driver works -- but you indicate it does) and then opening the PRN file in Distiller to create the PDF.

Closing Error - Do you want to save changes to '..... . pdf' file?

Hi,
I am kinda stuck with this error for a long time now and I always thought that changing to a new PC would resolve the issue. Unfortunately that did not help and hence I am seeking a solution using this community forum.
In brief, whenever I try to close a pdf file, it prompts me with an error asking "Do you want to save changes to '..... . pdf' file" when I have not made any changes to the actual file. Could someone please get back to me on how to resolve this issue? It is quite annoying for the fact that sometimes I get more than 10 pdf files opened and closing them one by one with this error is just too much of an ask.
I look forward to hearing from technical gurus out there and would really appreciate any prompt replies.
Many Thanks,
YSF

- Just tried the file you sent and there weren't any issues there. I saved the file and then closed it successfully without any prompts popping up.
- In regards to the opening of the files, I am opening them from within Adobe Reader itself.
- The pdf files basically are forms and don't include any interactive elements. So this is how it works, I use the print command from the database to save the file in pdf. Once the file is saved and opened, that is when I get the error message when closing the file.
Hope this help. Really appreciate your prompt response there!!

Adobe PDF writer has taken over my computer for documents, how do I change it back to Safari PDF ?

How do I change back to Safari PDF viewer and get rid of Adobe?

Find a PDF file in the Finder, select it and go File > Get Info. Find the Open With section and change the application from Adobe Reader (?) to whatever other PDF viewing app you prefer (Safari.app?). Click on the button that activates in that section (Change All...) and say Yes to making every PDF open with the new option your choose.
In my opinion, viewing PDFs posted on websites in Safari is fine, but viewing PDFs downloaded or that reside on your iMac are better suited to being viewed using Adobe Reader (though you might not be used to what it does), or Preview. You should explore what they have to offer.
Hope this helps.

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
Click on Users & Groups
If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

Create pdf-files trough prn-files in a windows service applicatio

Hi,
i have also the problem to create pdf-files from .prn-files.
in normall windows aplication we ar using the distiller but we would like to create the pdf's by running our application as windows service.
in this case it is not possible to use the distiller. As i understood we have to use the acrobat PDG Generator as a server application.
My question is, is it possible to make function calls to the service where i pass trough the prn-file and the according pdf-file is than created immediately.
This is important because the created pdf-file ist than used for different purposes.

Is it possible to change a jpg file back to an ai file?

Before I begin I am a complete novice. Never used a mac before, never used illustrator before.
My sister made some wedding invitations for me on illustrator which I ordered last week. They have arrived but unfortunately there is an error on both the front and inside. She has since gone travelling, so is unable to rectify this.
I have her mac and have managed to change the front cover however there is no ai file for the interior image, only a jpg. I have spoke to her, and we have spent a long time trying to track down the ai file but it's completely disappeared, no idea what's happened and she cannot think of any reason why it would have been deleted.
Is it possible to change a jpg file back to an ai file so I can edit the text? It is a very simple edit (mistake is RSPV instead of RSVP ). She mentioned trying to just put a box over the text but there is an image in the background so I don't think this is possible for a novice like me.
Can anybody (in very simple terms) give me any advice? I am starting to panic (sister isn't back for 18 months, wedding in just over 2 months!).
Thanks

In that case automatic vectorization won't get you anywhere.
Use Photoshop and move the two letters around. You might be lucky and noone notices.
Can you show a screenshot?

Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file I cannot print

Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file that my computer will not recognize? This is a new problem never experienced before. I have tried updating all versions of Adobe Reader but still no results.

Turn off the "print to file" option.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have Time Machine setup to backup your hard drive? If so you can use it to recover the files.
If not you will need to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It lets you run the application to check the drive for files that can be recovered before having to purchase it. There are other similar applications out there also. You can go to VersionTracker.com and search for "file recovery" to get other possible apps.
There are recovery services that can do the job for you. They are pretty expensive but if you can't get the recovery application to work they are another option.
Try to use the computer as little as possible beforehand so you don't run the risk of overwriting the deleted files.

The conversion is the primary function of Acrobat. Other functions include forms and related issue. Reader is simply a reader and can not convert anything. You can download the trial version if you like, though many folks have trouble getting rid of it after the trial, strange as that might seem -- only reporting on what has been reported by others.

Importing data file back into blank PDF - some data fields don't populate

I have created a writable PDF in Adobe LiveCycle 8. Once the form is completed the person filling out the form submits by email. The email is successfully received and the data file is complete (opening it in a browser verifies this). However, when I use try to import the data back into the PDF file (by opening Adobe Pro | blank form | managage form data | import data - only some of the fields are populated. I need this data to repopulate the form so I can print it and I also need to export it to Excel for other purposes. What am I doing wrong?

Check the binding on the fields that don't populate and see that it is set to something other than None.

Changed Outlook Contact Form back to IPM.Contact - now I can't save contact in Public Folder

I recently changed the Contact form that we were using back to the default IPM.Contact. I did this so that it would be consistent for only a few of us had a custom contact template to use and it made it difficult to share contact information. After
changing the contact default back to IPM.Contact and changing all the contacts to reflect the default Message class, no can add a contact to the Public Folder contact file. I have tried several different setting for the permsion. Publishing Author, Publish
Editor, Owner, it still gives the error
The item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted, or you do not have permission. Do you want to save a copy of it in the degfualt folder for the item.
When I changed the form back to IPM.Contact i ran the omglass.exe to change it on all the contacts in the public folder.
Please advise for no contacts can now be added to our company contact list

Hi,
Please right-click this public folder, click Properties. In the General tab, make sure the field of "When posting to this folder, use" is set to IPM.Contact.
Please restart Outlook with Outlook /checkclient switch(Start > Run > type Outlook /checkclient and enter) to have a try. If it fails, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.
