Converting files to PDF causing formatting issues.

Hello.
I am experiencing issues with converting an Excel file to a PDF and retaining its format. The first page converts fine, no formatting issue.But every page after that is shrinking the font and making the images smaller. This employee has tried to save the Excel file as a PDF and tried printing it through the Adobe print driver, but both are producing the same issue.
The troubleshooting steps I have taken to try to resolve this issue are below.
reinstall Adobe Acrobat
tried modifying the margins
tried a different machine
Cleaned the Temp folder
Any suggestions on a fix for this?

Hi Bill.
Thank you for the response. I tested what you have suggested and this did not work. When Adobe PDF printer is selected, it looks fine in the print preview, but once the Excel sheet has been processed, the format is not correct. I tested this also with printing a hard copy to a printer, still the formatting looks fine in the print preview. Once the file has been printed, it is not formatted the same. I have also removed the Adobe Driver and installed it again. Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Converting files into PDF/A format

Hello,
My main questions are:
1) How can I convert a normal document (say, word document) into PDF/A format using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 standard (that's what we use in the office)?
2) When we convert a file into PDF using Adobe Acrobat, does it save the file automatically in PDF/A format or is it normal PDF?
3) How can I tell if a file is in PDF/A format? Will it have a different extension than PDF?
4) What disadvantages are there related to PDF/A format (if any)?

Thanks pogopossum,
I'm using now Goodreader. This has also the advantage of a good interlinking to other available documents.
This is also not functioning with ibooks. Goodreader has some drawbacks compared to ibooks.
You cannot recognize the books easily since no frontpages are present and you need to scroll more to find the correct document. A annoying thing is that once you enlarge the index and jump to a linked page that page will show up in the enlarged fashion. So you always need to resize the new page. This problem is not present in ibooks. An enormous good feature of Goodreader is the easy and many ways to import files.

Unable to convert files to pdf in network drives

Hi Team
Iam using adobe acrobat pro 11 in windows7 64 bit OS.When ever iam trying to convert files from text or word to .pdf iam getting the errro message in devices and printers.
one thing i observed that when i choose local drive eg:c:drive iam there is no problem.but when i given network drives path then its getting error.i have full permissions on network drive and also i can able to save any files,able create files, folders in network drives, So there is no permission issues.
Could you please provide the solution to fix it.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Siva

I don't know the solution, but at one point folks were discussing the issue of the TMP folder used for the PDF creation. It may be that there is something causing a problem with the mix of the TMP folder and the network folder. Be aware, I have no clue what I am talking about, but am repeating things I remember reading at one point. That might help you in your trouble shooting. There are others here that understand networks and will hopefully drop by to help.

Convert files to PDF in asp

I need a web application (asp page) that can combine four files (tif, xfd, pdf, html) into one pdf file and stream it back to the user. These files are sitting on an IIS 6.0 server. I have Adobe acrobat 8 professional and was able to convert all the files to PDF's using the Adobe PDF silent printing in a visual basic application. However, It does not work when I call this executable from an asp page. I tried putting this code into a DLL to use it in a web page and it did not work. Any ideas on what I need to do to make this work?

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

Converting File Content.Unexpected XML format

Hello,
I need to convert file content in File Receiver Adapter.
In my opinion, i have unexpected XML format of a payload message. (At least, the format does not contain a structure element):
That is,
I have the XML message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_BW ID="123" BirthDay="20/03/1969" Title="consultant" Name="John" LastName="Smith" xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/BASIS"/>
I need to convert it into plane text format with fieldseparator.
How to convert this xml message into plane text format if it does not contain any structure elements (that is, <struc1> <field1>value</field1> </struc1>) according to help guide?
How should i configure RecordSet in File Adapter?
I am confused.
Thank you

Igor,
Are u getting the format from the source?
<ns0:MT_BW ID="123" BirthDay="20/03/1969" Title="consultant" Name="John" LastName="Smith" xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/BASIS"/>
If yes, then create one more data type with structure
<Record>
<ID/>
<BirthDay/>
<Title/>
<Name/>
<LastName/>
</Record>
And do direct mapping. So now you can easily configure the content conversion for the target format isn't it?
Its my thought, I don't know whether its feasible for you or not..

Oracle IBR : API for converting files in PDF

IBR and WCC Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Currently We have configured IBR with UCM for converting documents to PDF format. Is there ant IBR API available so that without checking in the document in WCC , we can call the IBR API and get the document converted to PDF and it would be done through synchronous call.
thanks in advance.

Hi Yogesh ,
Without having the content in WCC server you can convert it to PDF using the OIT Modules which is the actual engine that does the processing in WCC as well . For doing this you will need to have the PDFExport module deployed on your client machine and then with that conversion can be done .
This is the link for OIT PDF Export module : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/content-management/downloads/oit-dl-otn-097435.html
Infact all the modules of content processing / conversion can be done as an independent stand alone application using OIT . Each of those modules are available from the above link.
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
Srinath

Preview can destroy a PDF file without even trying.
See -> http://khkonsulting.com/2013/06/preview-app-killer-of-pdf-files/.
Just don't use Preview to view or attempt to interact with PDF files.

Acrobat 8.3.0 has stopped converting files to .pdf

Hi,
For some reason my acrobat 8.3 has stopped converting files. When I hit a convert command it trys, works to about 10-15%, then either comes back with a message that "Unable to convert, please correct the problem" or simply stops working and the Word(tm) document might flash and remain on the screen with no pdf created. I have tried to repair through the Help tab, and have also tried reinstalling from My Computer functions. Anybody know what i should do????

Hi Bill,.
Well, still having same problem.
I found acrotray and it appears to be running, still did not work.
So, decided to uninstall and install. Did as you suggested, deleted the folders, deactivated the product with Adobe, and then reinstalled from my original files. This was Version 8.1.0. I thought it would update itself, or atleast work from this version. no avail.
The conversion gets to 10% then the message, "unable to convert this file, correct errors and retry" continues to come up. at least it is consistent.
I am using Vista Home. I am going to try and update that to see if it helps, but seems to me i have done that a few times the last few weeks and did not help. Should i D/L fresh files from the adobe site?
Could it be a printer spooler problem where the printer won't start or something?
i do appreciate your help.
Dan
