Converting emailed documents to PDF instead of JPEG

Many of our customers have recently begun to shy away from accepting quotes from us because of the poor quality of the JPEG format documents the SBO Mailer generates.  The graphic is fuzzy and mostly illegible.
We need desperately need a better integrated solution for this problem and I am to understand that SBO 2005 A Patch Level 31 supports PDF generated documents.  I also understand that Patch Level 31 may cause some migration issues when upgrading to SBO 2007 A.
Has anyone undergone this sort of migration before or had similar problems?  To simplify matters for my users I need an integrated solution as opposed to a third party (or extra step) to convert our Sales Quotes as an example.  We could potentially lose business because of our recent transition to SAP Business One.
Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated.  Would anyone happen to know why there be migration issues from PL 31 to 2007 A (our consultants provided no explanation).
Many thanks in advance.....

Hi Pat,
From SAP B1 SP01 PL23 export to PDF has been possible. This was in a enhancement pack. It works really well. I have upgraded to PL23 and am now on PL 31. I've had no problems with the PDF writer.
The reason PL31 will give problems upgrading to 2007 is not because it will not be possible to upgrade to 2007. it is that you wont be able to "Ramp up" to 2007. Ramp up is a stage before the software is released. Once the software is released an upgrade procedure will be provided by SAP.
see below from SAP:
Participation in SAP Business One 2007 A Ramp-Up
Please be aware that customers who install patch 23 and higher of SAP Business One 2005 A SP01 will not be able to participate in the SAP Business One 2007 A Ramp-Up program. This is due to US-GAAP regulations concerning expansion of software functionality during Ramp-Up programs. For these customers, an upgrade to SAP Business One 2007 A will only be possible when this release is generally available, which is currently planned for Q4 2007. Hence, for customers who plan to participate in the SAP Business One 2007 A Ramp-Up program, the last regular SAP Business One 2005 A SP01 patch that can be applied is patch 22.
thanks

    Word 2007 Crashes with the error seen below, when using the Convert to PDF button on the Acrobat ribbon in Word.  The document may have footnotes.  I can convert other docuemnts to pdf in this fashion.  Is there an issue converting Word Docuements to PDF if they have foot notes?  I saw a post where someone had a table in a docuemnt that was causing Word to crash when it was converted to PDF in this fashion.

  • Why do I get a black version when I convert my document to PDF?

    I have been using Microsoft Publisher 2007 with XP to produce a newsletter for over 11/2 years. Today when I converted the file to PDF it is black with all kinds of wierd colors. It looks nothing like the document I produced. This has never happened before. The PDF version last month looked exactly like the white background document I produced with all the fonts in the right colors, including the pictures. This one looks like a 4 year old got ahold of it and colored it any way she wanted. Nothing looks the same as my document. What happened?

    I found out that if I waited about 15 minutes the PDF file became normal. Thank heavens! I've now sent out my newsletter for my Quilt Club to our 90 e-mail subscribers and all of them I have heard from have gotten it the way I had written it. It must just have been a quirk that happened, but I sure am glad it fixed itself. I only have 5 more newsletters to write and then I am done. Thank Heaven. Thank you for trying to help. I was about to become even more crazed than I get when I have to publish the newsletter. I do it once a month and I never would have volunteered for the 2 year job if I had know how much work it is. My husband walks gently when he knows I am trying to put the newsletter together. I'm not usually crabby, but this has made me a nut case once a month. It's a good thing we've been married for 37 years, so he knows that it is only the "newsletter editor nutty lady" that is getting mad at everything and everyone, including him! Thanks for trying to help. You were the only one that answered. JO

  • Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

    Adobe community,
    I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi markl16215442,
    In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
    For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
    While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
    So, check with your OS and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

    Hi there,
    This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
    Background:
    In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
    We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint.  We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search.  Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
    Note:  I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility.  I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works.  It just seems to be these
    particular PDFs.
    I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion.  I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
    looking for.
    Another note:  When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
    So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue?  Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
    For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
    You can take steps as below for verifying:
    Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
    Go to File -> Properties.
    Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.
    Best Regards,

  • Hello, I have includes a Web link in an image. When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me? Thank you.

    Hello,
    I have includes a Web link in an image.
    When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me?
    Thank you.

    No version of Pages will allow images to be links. We always got around this by bracketting the image with text and making the link in that.
    Pages 5 has lost the ability to have cross links in pdfs and seems to have a bug that disables any links after the first page.

  • Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

    Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
    I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
    with the same results, which are...
    Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
    I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
    I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
    Any advice on
    a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
    b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
    that might convert more accurately?
    many thanks

    Thank you Roger!
    I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
    It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
    I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
    Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
    If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

  • Error converting Word document to .pdf

    Hi,
    The office staff here has a couple of custom templates that they've been using for several years now to generate company letters. The company was bought by another firm, and about two weeks ago this office's network was attached to the new company's domain; login scripts were changed, security permissions, desktop settings, and so forth. Since that time, staff has been unable to convert their documents. Monday I started digging into the problem and found an Adobe Knowledgebase article referencing corrupted .icc files at this link:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328791
    The error referenced was not exactly the same, but it was the closest thing I've been able to find, so I decided to give it a shot.
    Late Monday I went through the steps in the article on one of the problem workstations, and the error went away - was able to do seven or eight conversions successfully, so I saved the files and instructions for use the next day. Yesterday I started to do the same process on the other three workstations, but it had no effect on them, and in the middle of this, I was notified that now the first workstations has stopped working again, also - it was neither turned off nor rebooted overnight, but the same error is appearing again. Repeating the process from the day before does nothing now to correct the error, nor can I convert the *same test document* that I converted successfully multiple times the day before. Hopefully someone can point me in a direction to start looking.
    Machines: Dell and HP, various hardware.
    Example: Dell Pentium 4, 3.20 GHz, 3.00 GB RAM
    OS: Windows XP Pro, v2002, SP2
    MS-Word 2003 SP2
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, v6.0.6
    Adobe Distiller v6.0.1
    Inside Word, Adobe Conversion Settings:
    Use prologue.ps and epilogue.ps
    Conversion Settings file: Custom template settings (standard doesn't work, either)
    Enable accessibility & reflow with tagged PDF is checked
    Compatibility - Acrobat 5.0
    Color settings file - "None" (some machines have Web Standard selected, which also doesn't work.)
    Color management policies - Leave color unchanged
    Imbed fonts - checked on two W/S, one has several fonts excepted
    - unchecked on two W/S
    Process:
    Letter template has macros which insert a logo in the document at print time, check tables, do calculations, check for "forbidden words". Template also contains a TOC. To test this, I simply open Word, make sure the macros are loaded (since the login scripts changed, this has to be done manually,) and create a new document from the proper template. There is a startup macro that can be simply bypassed (all it does is allow operator to change the office location, otherwise just leave the default,) and then from the "Adobe PDF" option on the Word menu bar, select "Convert to PDF". If the complete conversion runs, this may take up to a couple of minutes to finish, then the converted document is opened in Acrobat. What happens now is that the conversion process starts, then the process bar hangs for a few seconds and we get a messagebox stating: "Adobe pdf printer failed to create the pdf file"
    Most of the time, it doesn't seem to produce an errorlog, but if it does, this is what I see in the log:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: pdfmark ]%%
    Stack:
    [{FMSMColorLogo}]
    [{FMSMColorLogo}]
    -mark-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

    Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. That may give a work around. I noticed that there was a pdfmark error. PDFmarks are added to the output file by PDF Maker prior to being sent to Distiller. That is how all of the links and such are transferred with PDF Maker. It is worth trying to take that out of the loop and see what happens. It almost seems like the folks that took over wiped out some of your logos and such, but there may be something much simpler at work.
    Don't you just love corporate takeovers! I guess you can't comment though. Your link seems to discuss some related issues. It may be that access to specific settings files that may have been customized may have been lost or those profiles were deleted.
    So much for my ranting with guesses. Hopefully I gave you some useful thought items. Bill
