Converting Back to Original PDF Using Post Script File

Is there any way to convert back to an original PDF using a post srcipt file that was created from that original PDF? Allow me to fully explain my situation:
I converted multiple pdf's that I created into a post script file. I then utilized Adobe Distiller to convert them into a pdf that could be used for better printing and better usability by the end user. Unfortunately, when Distiller did this conversion, it replaced my original pdf with the new one. By the time I realized what was happening, all files had been replaced.
I still have the post script file that was created from the original PDF file; is there any way possible using this post script file that it can be somehow converted back to the original PDF file? There are some edits that I need to do on the original PDF. The pdf that Distiller creates doesn't allow for anymore edits. My goal is to be able to make my edits without having to re-create 37 pages of documents.
The software versions I'm using are as follows: Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, Adobe Distiller Version 10.1.438.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Using Actions wizard to save 20.000 pdfs as post script

Hello
I have a problem when i try to use the Action wizard to convert 20k pdf to post script... i works finde if i use it on a small number of documents but acrobat crashes if i try to load the entire folder.
Im using Acrobat XI on an imac OSX yosemite.
Is it possible to make it so that Acrobat only opens one file at the time?

Acrobat does load only one file at a time. However, it is not very efficient at all when it comes to batch processes and tends to get stuck or to crash after several hundred files, from my experience. So either do it in batches or look for a more robust tool for this task.

Saving PDF files as Post Script files using Adobe Professional

I have a 2 Page PDf document that mainly has Text on each page. Both the Pages have a 2D Data Matrix Barcode also.
I opened the PDF file in Adobe Professional and saved the file as Post Script file.
Post Script file gets saved successfully. When I open the Post script file - It has almost 40,000 line for a 2 page post scipt file.
It has lot of Hex data that looks so huge in the file. ( I thought only Images get converted to Hex format).
Is there a setting or something I am missing that I have this huge Post script file for a 2 page text file PDF

Your barcode may be a high resolution graphic. A lot of junk (hex) is what you would see in such a case with PS. How it looks to you may depend on what application you are using to view the PS file. If you open it in a code or text editor you might get a better idea of what is there. I don't look at PS files much and agree with graffiti's question of why do you want to?

Error converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 IE 9 on Vista

I am getting the following errow when I try converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 on IE 9 on Vista. This worked previously but it appears that a recent update to Acrobat caused issues with this functionality. This happened once before and after some troubleshooting the technician wasable to get the functionality working again. The Adobe printer shows up with "Error" however I can still create PDFs from outlook.

Spawn a new PDF using Java Script within LC Designer

I am trying to spawn a new PDF file to be created from an existing PDF using Java Script within the LC designer
I have this example but I can't get it to work
function createPdf()
    pdf = pdf$();
    pdf.addText('Hello World');
    pdf.writeToFile('c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
    window.open('file://c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
Is it possible to create a PDF like this within LC Designer?

Hi
I would like to see if it was possible. I thought it would be easy, as
there is a standard batch processing sequence (Print 1st page of all) using
Java that comes with Acrobat 7. This allows you to print the first page of
a number of files that you select when the sequence is run. Its code is:
/* Print 1st Page */
/* This sequence prints the first page of
   each document selected to the default printer.
this.print
To my uninformed mind it seemed logical that the same code, slightly
modified to print all pages, should work from within a form.
Anyway, if there is a way to choose individual files, I would appreciate
that.
Thanks
Rob

Convert SPList Items to PDF using iTextSharp

Hi, how can i convert SPList Items to PDF using itextsharp?

hi
in addition to other replies I would like to mention that most natural way to give users possibility to export list item to pdf is to create new context menu command "Export to PDF" (in those context menu which is shown when mouse pointer
hovers the list item) and handler of this command in query string should receive ID of list item, for which user clicked it (it can be implemented as common ASP.Net ashx handler). Then in codebehind handler should open list item using passed id and send fields'
values to itextsharp or any other library you would like to use for exporting to PDF. In order to see how to create PDF documents with itextsharp you should check documentation of this library.

How to Print Post Script Files

Hi All,
I am trying to make a utility software in foxpro that could print post script file on:-
1) Post script printer
2) Non Post Script printer
Operating System Windows 95 & above
Help is requested from all the community members

PostScript printer - send it to the printer port e.g. LPT1: with a simple copy.
Non-PostScript printer - you'll need to buy a PostScript RIP, or perhaps use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PostScript to PDF, then print the PDF with Acrobat's API - see the Acrobat SDK. (This is not possible with the free Reader).

Problem in converting Word Document into PDF after inserting EMF file

Hi
I have VB 6.0 program, which automatically inserts an EMF file in to MS-Word and converts it in to Post Script file and finally to PDF.
But the Size of the generated PDF file is too large i.e., 8MB
If am inserting an .PNG file in MS-Word and conveting it in to Post Script and finally in to PDF, the size of PDF file is somewhere around 330KB.
I am using Acrobat Distiller 6.0 for this conversion
Can any one let me how I can reduce the file size of PDF, if I insert an EMF file.
Thanks in Advance
Vijay Kumar

Saying a WMF file does not mean much. It could be a bitmap with 2400dpi or a vector graphic. WMF and EMF are wrappers that can include both. You may be best to open the WMF in PhotoShop or Illustrator and see if you can get a consistent size, possibly doing a copy and paste to WORD.

@Jack – you were using a joboptions file by Distiller to convert a PostScript file to a PDF/X-1a.
What you get is no error message, just a report, that everything went ok. And in this case I cannot see any advantage using PDF Export for printing to PostScript/distilling to PDF. Ok, maybe one, CS5 and above would export in a background process.
To prevent InDesign flattening transparency, you could use PDF/X-4 as your export setting. You cannot use writing to PostScript for that task.
Check including tags for tagged export to prevent misalignment of text because of a strange bug with PDF Export when you are using 9pt text on 12pt leading or text with a ratio of 9/12 for point size and leading in multicolumn text frames.

Unable to create post script file in framemaker.

I installed TCS 4.0 licensed suite. Due to some reason I need to delete Adobe PDF from Devices and Printers. Since then I am unable to create post script file using framemaker. I have tried uninstalling and installing TCS 4.0 again, but all in vain. What should I do now?

If you delete critical parts of Acrobat there will be problems. Try doing a REPAIR of Acrobat Pro (from the Programs Control Panel), maybe it can undo the damage.

Reading post script files

Does Adobe offer a program that reads post script files?

Adobe Acrobat can convert Postscript to PDF and display the PDF.

SapScript output spool to a POST script file

We generate billing invoice output using custom
program/Sap script. Subsequently we release the invoice print out from
the print spool to create a post script file from the print spool by configuring command set "G" in
transaction u201CSPADu201D. This processis is working fine in R/3
However, when we migrated the same functionality to ECC, we are finding
that the file created containing only garbage data.
Anyone has encountered this issue and have suggestions to resolve this.
Thanks

Hi Gary
