Conversion of postscript (converted from secure or encrypted pdf) to pdf

I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
The log file contains following text:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
pdf.
4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
programatically using Distiller Api's for conversion to pdf.
Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
Thanks in advance.

I am facing a similar problem.
My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
Any suggestions?

The first part is to short, it must be 8 signs, you have only 7; I added a zero and it works =>
DECLARE @id varchar(60);
SET @id = 'd65cafc0-1435-45d3-acce-dc464f02c4b1'
SELECT CONVERT(uniqueidentifier, @id)

Can not edit Word docs after converting from a ExportPDF file. The PDF file is converted into a non-editable Word Doc image.

Converting a PDF file (scanned copy Adobe Reader X) to a Word Doc using ExportPDF conversion. The Word Doc created is a image file which is not editable. I need an editable Word Doc file.

Hi robertw,
Can you please tell me more about how the PDF was created? (If you don't know, choose File > Properties, and look for the PDF Producer on the Description tab.)
If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF creator, it may be that it's not well-written, and that can affect the quality of the conversion. See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.
That said, you may be able to select the text by triple-clicking in the Word document.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Converting from word to pdf

When converting from a Word doc to a pdf using joboptions file settings, the layout changes - text is moved up as if the bottom margin is decreased. This is a problem when the heading on a new page is moved to bottom of the previous page. Please help - thanks.

I've noticed the problem in multiple words docs but it doesn't always happen. I tried again, using print to adobe as I usually do, and noticed that the last line of the first page moved to second page after I converted. However, this didn't happen when I converted using PDFMaker - thanks! I will convert using PDFMaker from now on to hopefully avoid the problem.

Unnecessary text behind listbox after converting from a web-page

When I make convertation from htm-page containing listbox to pdf, there also appear text on the back of Listbox object. The strings are equal to Listbox values. If I create listbox manually, these strings not appear. How to fix this bug?

OK, I see now what you mean. It's been a while since I've web-captured an HTML form and I've never noticed that before. I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent it from happening though. You can change the color of the text so it's not visible, or remove it through redaction or other editing tools.

Printing postscript file from IDcs3 for Distiller

I have just upgraded my mac to a MP 2.8 quad duo and hence to Leopard. I am running OS 10.5.2 and ID 5.02 so it is all up to date. I have cs3 design premium installed.
When running IDcs3 on OS 10.4 in order to create a pdf for 4 color print I would print a ps file from IDcs3. I select postscript file as the printer option and then in the PPD field choose Acrobat printer.
Now, having migrated to Leopard, the Acrobat option is no longer available in the PPD field. I have reinstalled Acrobat Professional to see if there was a problem with the printer profiles being installed, but that did not change anything.
I would have thought that selecting a PPD of "device independent" should work, but with that option selected I am unable to select the page size options.
How do I create postscript files from IDcs3 for Distiller?

WRT/ PDF/X-4, be aware that the final PDF/X-4 specification was published only one month ago by ISO. What is supported by Acrobat 8.x and InDesign 5.x does
not fully comply with that specification. The next major releases of Acrobat and the Creative Suite will provide full PDF/X-4 support.
Note that PDF/X-4 provides for full color-managed PDF 1.6 with support for live transparency, JPEG2000 image compression, and layers for (for versioning/editioning printing).
Although the current release of the Adobe PDF Print Engine is not an officially compliant reader of PDF/X-4 files, PDF/X-4 is the ideal PDF variant for same.
In terms of Distiller, there are no plans to provide support for PDF/X-4 in the Distiller simply because the Distiller doesn't support live transparency. Although one could conceivably ruin transparency by flattening and then validate the resultant PDF file as conforming to PDF/X-4 -- there is no requirement for live transparency -- use of flattened transparency in PDF/X-4 is certainly against the spirit of the standard we put together and by disallowing its production directly from Distiller or allowing InDesign's PDF export to flatten transparency going into PDF/X-4, we hope to dramatically improve the situation vis-a-vis rendering of transparency for printing by keeping transparency "live" and at its highest level of abstraction until RIP time.

Problem converting from pdf to doc (encrypted or corrupt file?)

Hi everyone.
I need to convert my resume (pdf) to doc so I can make a couple of edits, and then convert it back to pdf. Problem is, I can't seem to do it. I first tried straight from the program in adobe by saving the file as a doc, but the file formating was way too screwed up when I did that.
So, I then googled around, and found zamzar.com. I tried that site, but kept getting conversion errors which said "file may be encrypted, password protected, or corrupt". I don't have any passwords or encryptions on it, so I tried downloading other conversion programs, but I kept getting the same types of errors.
I checkd the "security properties" for the file, and I don't have anything. I also don't know how the file could be corrupt since I don't have any issues viewing it, and when I sent it to my friend via email, he was able to open it, too.
Ihave recently been using Acrobat 9 pro extended version that I downloaded as a torrent from a reputable person. I just wanted to get a feel for the program, but maybe this is the problem, since any pdf I've saved since I began using it, seems to have that conversion issue, but I figure there has to be a workaround. I really don't know what the issue is, or how I can solve it, and so I'm stumped.
Any suggestions would be really great.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

In converting from Win XP PC w/Ffx 28.0 to a new Win 8 PC, is Ffx 28.0 the v. to retain? If not, then which v. and when/where to install during conversion?

I will be converting from my 9-yr-old PC with Win. XP to a new PC with Win. 8. My Control Panel program list tells me my old PC is running Firefox 28.0 (x86 en-US). I need to be sure that Firefox 28.0 is your latest version and is the one I should move over to my new PC (there seem to be so many versions out there that it is confusing...in one place you say version 17 is the one to use). If I do need to install another Firefox version, I would need to know which one, and whether it should be installed on the old computer first, before changing PCs, or somewhere else in the in the conversion sequence, i.e., on the new PC first before (or after?) transferring everything else from the old PC. I plan to transfer to the new PC using free LapLink software offered to us current XP users through a Microsoft/LapLink agreement.

Yes, Firefox 28 is the current release for Windows XP and higher.
I'm not exactly sure how Laplink works, but assuming it transfers all of your Windows user profile data, then it should bring your Firefox data over to your new computer. You can confirm by checking here on both computers and comparing what you see:
(paste into Start > Run or WinButton+r): %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
In particular, make sure Laplink copied over the profiles.ini file and the Profiles folder and its subfolders.
I suggest copying the data over first, then installing Firefox. In that case, when you install Firefox it should automatically find your data and you'll be up and running. If you install Firefox first, then you will have to take a few extra steps to get your old data in.

Your dont need RETURN inside SP as you've declared @xml already as an OUTPUT parameter. Also you can RETURN only integer values using RETURN statement inside stored procedure as that's default return type of SP.
so just remove RETURN statement and it would work fine
To retrieve value outside you need to invoke it as below
DECLARE @ret nvarchar(max)
EXEC dbo.[P_gettestresults] @ret OUT
SELECT @ret

Aperture Conversion - My wife is converting from iPhoto to Aperture due to large library ( 33,000 photos, 109GB). Performance-wise, is it better to convert to Aperture library and leave on the 250GB internal drive or convert and store externally?

My wife is converting from iPhoto to Aperture due to large library ( 33,000 photos, 109GB). Performance-wise, is it better to convert to Aperture library and leave on the 250GB internal drive or convert and store externally?

You are welcome.
convert and store externally?
What versions of iPhoto and Aperture is your wife using? With both iPhoto 9.3 or later and Aperture 3.3 or later she simply could open her iPhoto library in Aperture and be done, since these versions are using a unified library format.
