CONVERT TEXT TO TYPE (PATH) IN EXPORT PDF OPTIONS

I like to be able to save the texts in PDF files as path. as there are a lots of text boxes on the newspaper .

You can do this now by forcing transparency flattening and using a custom flattener preset.

Convert PSD files into PNG on exporting PDF

Is there a way to convert all PSDs used in InDesign into PNGs during exporting file as PDF?

After exporting the PDF I convert that into online format. But there is an issue with the images that has been added as PSD, all such images lose their colors after conversion. So I need to convert this images into PNG before exporting the PDF.
I hope this is clear. Do you know a way to do this?

Need help with export PDF options

I want to go into edit job options and set everything for the highest possible quality exported PDF. Can someone please tell me how to
set these options for the highest quality? Many thanks.

Sorry I was so uninformative. I am using Pagemaker 7.0.
OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have tried to edit the job options and I have saved my new settings - but I can't seem to
get a high quality PDF exported. I know that my file is good, because I have previously gotten
a high quality PDF exported from my older windows machine running XP pro.

Hide text in certain textframes when exporting PDF

I have a couple of textframes/anchored objects that contain text used for
generating the TOC and other tasks.
At the end of my script, I export a PDF. Is it possible to hide these textframes during the export so that they won't be included in the pdf (perhaps there is a style)?

Set then to nonprinting in the attributes panel.

Can Help Text be part of an exported PDF?

i chose Training Feedback as my template of choice and i am done, except i'd like to include the Help Text which is viewable in test mode etc, but when i export the pdf it's gone. what am i doing wrong?

I'd agree that it isn't the most user friendly, discoverable "help" but is the way Help text works for forms in Acrobat. For FormsCentral that is what we get.
If the text is important enough to ensure all users see it maybe include it inside of the label for the field. You can format all text in the label uniquely so the help stands apart, you could use a different size/font/color etc to identify the Help text.

Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
Would be grateful for any advice.

It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

Captivate 4 - Issue viewing exported PDF in published file on LMS

I'm working in Captivate 4 and have included a link to a PDF document on a particular screen. It works beautifully when I view the published file until I move the files into the LMS - at that point, the PDF won't launch.
Here's what I've done and hopefully someone can tell me what I need to do differently?? I created a click box on a screen and have set the On Success field to "Open URL or file". I browsed to find the location of my PDF and clicked the drop down arrow to select "New" and "Continue playing project" (so the learner can return to the original course when they're done reading the PDF). When I publish the file to Flash, I select the "Export PDF" option and it does it's magic. When I preview the published version, everything works beautifully, the course runs, the PDF launches and life is good. Then, I set up the course on our LMS and copy over the published files (including the source PDF). The course plays as expected until the learner clicks to view the PDF - at that point, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Does this have anything to do with Adobe Reader 9 (which many of our learners wouldn't have on their desktops)? Do I need to convert my PDF to HTM? Help... please!

Hello,
If I do understand your question all right (sorry, am not a native English speaker), I do believe you are mixing up two things. If you want indeed to publish to PDF (and not to SWF or EXE), you'll get a multimedia PDF (in which a SWF can play) but in that case the user really do need the Adobe Reader 9, previous versions do not support multimedia PDF.
What seems a bit contradictory is that you start with mentioning an issue with a PDF that should be called from a CP-slide. The problem there could be that you were linking to an absolute path on your PC when browsing, can you check that? If you introduce simply the name of the PDF and you make sure that the PDF and the CP-published files (normally HTML, JS and SWF) are uploaded in the same folder, the CP will find the PDF. I think you now have a 'broken link' because of an absolute path reference for the PDF.

Export PDF in Captivate 5 and Publishing CP4 project in CP5

When I publish flash (swf) videos in CP4, I always tick the "Export PDF" option to also get the PDF version - and then offer the PDFs for download as an alternative to watching online (or send them via e-mail).
I have learned to live with the fact that the PDF version - sadly - becomes somewhat blurred. But now, as I am trial testing CP5, I see that besides blurring, the video in PDF gets also distorted - if this is a good word for it: As the software screens change in the video (I record software demonstrations), the new screens show some left over graphics (mainly lines or points - as if remnants of borders of objects, lines, shadows, etc.) from the previous screen.
The similar thing happens when I publish CP4 projects with CP5 (which I want to do as the Neospeech voices sound much better in CP5) - I see the same leftover graphics, mainly in the full-motion segments.
Any suggestions on avoiding these issues?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
For this purpose you need Acrobat Pro, could you let me know if you have this app? It is coming with the eLearning suite. To export a Captivate file to pdf you do not need it.

I have converted my pdf files to docx files using the Adobe Export PDF but when I drag my converted files to Word there is no text, just blank pages.

I am really new to Adobe and Creative Cloud and its logic so I hope someone can help me understand it. My objective is to get my scanned PDF docs converted to text document files so I can open and edit in Word.
I have scanned my documents into a pdf format. I then dropped the pdf file into my Adobe Export from PDF. It exported and converted them to docx files just fine. When I click on the created docx file I have the correct number of pages but they are completely blank. I don't have any converted text. Am I missing a step? I have also dropped these files into my Word with the same result.

Are you still experiencing a problem with Adobe Send? We inadvertently introduced a problem earlier today (now fixed), but you reported your issue was last night.
Anyway, can you check again?

"Text on a path" and "paths" rasterised when printed from a PDF on an iGen

I have just obtained from the printer the first proof of my book (printed on an iGen) and I'd like to find out where one of the problems lie. I'll ask the printer his opinion before second proof, but I don't like to annoy him unnecessarily.
One of the chapters in the book has a lot of maps. I drew rivers by stroking a path, and named the rivers using 'Text on a Path' so that the text follows the curve of the river. Some of the maps have a pale background image on a different layer. And this is where the problem seems to lie.
1. Rivers (and their names) appear normal on a map WITHOUT a background. By 'normal' I mean they look sharp. When magnified they seem to have been drawn as vectors.
2. On maps WITH a background layer, 'Text on a path' appears very chunky (as if it has been rasterised at about 300 dpi) and paths (the rivers) appear to have the jaggies. Horizontal text does not appear to be affected.
I can't be certain that (1) and (2) exactly define the problem, but it's as close as I can get at the moment.
When I opened the original PDF file from which the book was printed, no matter how much I enlarge it, all paths and 'type on a path' retain their smoothness. i.e they are obviously vectors. However, I noticed when I opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and tried to edit the 'text on a path', the PDF went haywire: the text I tried to edit disappeared, and other text frames on the page were shifted around.
A sample PDF (6.7 MB, including an original two-page spread, and a scanned copy of the iGen print of the same), can be downloaded from:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oe4omuzoqzz
Two questions:
Q1: On the maps with a background image, is the rasterising of stroked paths, and 'text on a path' due to the iGen mishandling the file? Or might there be another explanation?
Q2: Re Acrobat 7 mishandling my 'text on a path': is this a bug that has been fixed in later versions of Acrobat?
To reproduce this bug do this: Open the PDF described above, and within Acrobat 7 select Tools > Advanced Editing > Touchup Text Tool. Then click inside the name "Georgina River", backspace to try and delete a letter, and the PDF should go haywire.

Sandee: Almost certainly below the text, but I'd have to check them all.
But before I do that, we'll have to go back a step. I can almost handle layers in InDesign, but didn't know they existed in PDFs. The printer printed from the PDF and as far as I can tell after a brief visit to HELP, there aren't any layers in the PDF. When I go to View > Navigation Tabs > Layers and click on the Layer Tab when it appears, there's nothing there; and all the items under Options are grayed.
Q1: Why do I need a layer in a PDF? By not having layers, can that cause problems?
Q2: Re Robert's suggestions: what do you mean by "move all the text to a top layer"? Within InDesign before I export to PDF?
Q3: Is printing more foolproof when I export to PDF, if all my text is on the one layer in InDesign and that layer is above any images? There are several hundred river names, place names etc, sitting on lower layers, but if need be I'll move them all.

Convert text path back to regular path

I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke. Any ideas?

The "disconnected paths" element is confusing. Is this file an ai file, or is it possibly a pdf? If pdf, then there may be NO type path to select, as pdf often places each letter as individual type elements. Is this what you are experiencing? If so, locate the originating AI file.
To select a type path using the Direct Select tool (if it is indeed a type path), on Mac, hold down the option key while clicking on the path (away from the type itself).

Trouble exporting pdf with Arabic text to .doc file

I am having an issue exporting a pdf from the trial of Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 computer.
The pdf has a table with English fields in the left column and Arabic equivalents in the right column.
It appears to display fine within Acrobat, so I assume it has fonts embedded and that Acrobat is somehow handling the display of the Arabic font correctly.
I need to export this to .doc or .docx so that I can enter additional data.
When I convert to .doc, the English column and fields convert pretty good, but the Arabic fields do not display well at all. I am not sure if this is some sort of trouble with Word (or the Windows OS) requiring an Arabic font or Arabic text support to be installed on the system or if there is some other issue (such as Acrobat not handling the conversion well)??.
I did note that there is an Arabic Font add on to Acrobat that can be downloaded from Here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4885&fileID=4558
However, since Acrobat is seeming to properly display the Arabic text, I don't know that this is required...additionally when I tried to install the Arabic font support from that URL, it told me that Acrobat X was require, I am using Acrobat XI reader (installed with the trial version of Acrobat pro that I wish to purchase if I can get this working properly).
Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice offered on this subject.
David Dean

Unfortunately our conversion engine cannot convert text, such as Arabic, which reads from right to left. It maybe something that we add in the future however it is not available at this time.

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.
