Converting files to PDF, failed print jobs

Hi,
Every time I convert a file to PDF I then receive a failed print job in my print queue. Has anyone seen this before?
Adobe prints to LPT1.
Thanks.

Yes, it's a known issue and simple to fix. See this blog post for instructions.

CONVERTING SMARTFORM INTO PDF AND PRINTING DIRECTLY

Hai guys,
   I got a problem.
First the Smartform I created doesnt show all TABLE LINES(the rows coloumns)...
so I have converted the SMART FORM to ADOBE FORM PROGRAMITICALY ...
now in order to PRINT ..
one has to first SAVE the FORM(adobe form) onto desktop(or whereever) and give it to PRINT...
unfortunately my CLIENT doeasnt like the EXTRA STEP..
so i best i can SAVE the file to a hardcoded location and
OPEN it ..
But then CAN I
a)PRINT DIRECTLY without SAVING??
b)ISSUE PRINT PROGRAMITICALY
c)I learnt that a SMARTFORM can be GENERATED INTO PDF only at RUNNTIME(from SMARTFORMS>UTILITIES etc)..i briefly tried that..can I use that to GET THE PDF to PRINT when one gives PRINT from SPOOL REQUEST(sp01)
hoping to give some quick points

I purchased a very expensive package, to convert files to PDF form. when it converted some of the text needs to be adjusted how do i fix this? When i e-mailed the file to myself i was unable to read the file??????

Question?? my name is Cecelia. I purchased your product and so far I am very unsatisfied with it. I need to fix or add to a converted PDF and I am unable to do so. I e-mailed this form to my self and it states no file avail.. is this what other will see too??????

First, when you e-mail a PDF you have to be sure the e-mail package you use encodes the PDF as binary file, not all do automatically. If the PDF is sent as an ASCII (text) file, then it will be corrupted. That is likely what happened. The alternative is to zip the PDF and send the zip file.
Fix ups are generally done in the application you used. The PDF should be a duplicate of what you see in your APP. If you are using WORD, be sure the selected printer in WORD is the Adobe PDF printer during your editing. WORD and many other word processors reflow documents based on the attached printer. It is not clear what your problem is, but that might be the issue.
As for forms, are you actually creating an electronic form or is this something that looks form for someone to print and fill in. If you want an electronic form, then you need to use the Form Tools in the tools menu. You can let Acrobat try to guess the form fields that are needed, then go back and edit the form fields. Of course, you may not have actually meant a form as such, but the layout of your document that is messed up. If it is the layout, then attaching the Adobe PDF printer during the editing of your document should solve that issue. You should also consider using the Press or Print job settings to embed all fonts.

Convert OTF to PDF and print PDF from Spool

Hi,
I have searched all the forums and service market place but could not find solution to my problem.
I am using Function module

this generates spool in SP01. Ideally it should generate a PDF spool file but it generates a BIN file of Format G_RAW. When I display the spool it displays all kinds of japanese characters which does not make sense,.
I setup printer ISJB with device type JPPDF (PDF converted for Japanese characters). Does any one know where the problem could be? Why I could not print the Spool in PDF?
Thank you,
Jagadish

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?

It looks like LiveCycle PDF Generator Requires a Java Application Server. Do you know a product that meets this requirement in a Microsoft server/development tools environment such as IIS, Asp, Visual Basic, .NET, C#, etc... (A solution that does not require a Java environment.)

Download spool and convert it to pdf in background job

Hello experts,
RSTXPDFT4 works fine for me if i want to convert spools to pdf files in foreground mode.
If i want to do this in background mode as a daily job i am not able to use RSTXPDFT4.
With report RSTXPDFT5 i am able to download in background as binary data but not as pdf.
So, i want to download spools to network shared folder in pdf formaat.
Thanks for suggestions & Regards
Janez

If i use GUI_DOWNLOAD which is used in this function than i have to be loged on and file is saved in my sapworkdir on my computer and not on networh share.
To create and save TXT file on network shared folder i have to use opendataset statement and write data in file. But i don't know how to use it or to implement it in program RSTXPDFT4 to save spool job with specific id as pdf file. If i pass spool job id to RSTXPDFT4 i can save pdf file on local drive inside of sapworkdir or any where on clien computer nd of course in dialog mode.
I want to save specific spool job with specific spool ID in background mode on network folder.
Thanks & Regards
Janez

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.

Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

Hi Reggie,
I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

Png within my document when converted to a pdf are printing black and white rest is color-help! WHY?

I am creating a document in Publisher & converting to a pdf. Most of my png elements within the document, are then printing black and white from the pdf (everything else is in color)? Don't know what is going on, doesn't seem to happen on all printers, is there a setting I am missing? Help! Thanks

Could be a setting in the PNGs when they are saved.
Have you tried saving them as GIFs and replacing them in the document(s)?

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.
