Converting Framemaker files into PDF progaramatically using publishing server

Hi All
Background:
We are going for upgrade of  Frame maker 8 which is on unix system  to FM 10 or 11. We are using Framemaker mainly for renditions, i.e to convert the fm documents to PDF. To convert fm document to PDF we are using the below mentioned command line utility available in FM 8.(on unix). /opt/app/frame8.0/bin/fmprint -i -p Sample.fm.fmtpl Sample.fm Currently the the fm file which need to converted to PDF and the FM 8(installed) are available on the same unix system ,so we were able to initiate/use the command line utility of FM 8. The rendition of the FM to PDF is On -Demand.( We are not running any batch activities/ bulk renditions).We are rendering the document as soon as the document  is available.
Requirement:
As we are going to  upgrade the FM to newer versions which would be installed on the Windows machine as Frame maker 10 or 11 will not support unix plat form, so can you please let us know which option is better to use i.e we want to convert fm file to PDF using java program without any manual intevention using publishing server/client version.
can any one help us as it is very urgent for us.
please let us know the ways to do and links for helpful documents .
thank you very much for your help in advance!!\

Hi Ramesh...
Another alternative (if you need more control over the doument creation) is to use Leximation's AutoFM ..

  • Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

    I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

    Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

  • Convert XML file into PDF file

    <b>XML to PDF</b>i want to Convert XML file into PDF file pl. any one can suggests API's

    Hi,
    There are many ways to convert XML files to PDFs through java.
    One of the easiest way is by using iText.jar which have classes for conversion.
    The following are the required steps
    1. Create a document object for the XML file ( Using DOM or SAX parser).
    2. Parse the xml document and extract the content to write in PDF.
    3.Create a itext Document object.
    4.Get a PdfWriter instance for the PDF file.
    5.Write in the pdf the extracted text using the document object.
    Refer <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/general/HelloWorld.java">here</a> for a simple pdf writer example.
    Refer <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html">here</a> for examples of XML Parsers.

  • Converting PST files into PDF's & the recipient can't print

    I am having the following issue with Adobe: I am converting PST files into PDF's and the recipient can view the information, but they cannot print. Actually, some information such as whether there is an attachment is displayed in the printout, but none of the actual text appears. I do not see any security settings at this end that would be causing this, but I have been assured that there is nothing on the recipients either. The same thing was happening when I sent it to a colleague here in the office.

    I discovered the problem and solution. Often PST's contain damaged text. It is not easy to deal with the damaged text. It is more efficient to have the recipient print the file as an image.Select the print tab, go to advanced, select print as image. I got the information by looking through the more specific information on the Adobe site.

  • Convert iPhoto file into pdf file

    Need to convert iPhoto files in pdf format to send as email attachment to a recipient who requires it in this format.  How do I do it?

    There might be a quicker way, but an alternative is:
    - Locate the photo(s) in Finder
    - Open them in Preview
    - File > Print (or CMD + P)
    - In the bottom left there should be a drop-down menu for PDFs.  You can then choose to save it as a PDF, or email it as a PDF attachment.
    This works for single and multiple photos.  Bear in mind that they will save at the original resolution, so if you want the file to be smaller, make all the changes you want to in iPhoto then locate them in Finder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Creating macro converting docx files into pdf

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a macro that automatically find all .docx and .xlsx files into selected folder and convert them into PDFs files. I already make something but it converts too much (for example gifs files). Can you help me in that?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Dim strFile As String
    Dim doc As Document
    Dim lngPos As Long
    Dim strPDFName As String
    With Application.FileDialog(4)

    strFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
    Else
    MsgBox "You didn't specify a folder!", vbExclamation
    Exit Sub
    End If
    End With
    If Right(strFolder, 1) <> "\" Then
    strFolder = strFolder & "\"
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc*")
    Do While strFile <> ""

    ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF
    doc.Close SaveChanges:=True
    strFile = Dir
    Loop
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

    and this one from Excel:
    Sub ConvertExcel2PDF()
    Dim strFolder As String
    Dim strFile As String
    Dim wbk As Workbook
    Dim lngPos As Long
    Dim strPDFName As String

  • How to convert JPEG Files into Streams for Darwin Streaming Server?

    Hi!
    Is there any possibility to convert JPEG Files locatet in a Folder into a Videostream for the Darwin Streaming Server, like Quicktime Broadcaster does with my iSight Video??? I know I can convert JPEGs into Movies using QuickTime Pro, but that is not exactly what I am seraching for: I have a folder, where some kind of Webcam writes about 5 JPEG pictures per second. Now I would like to have these pictures in converted into a videostream in realtime. QuickTime Broadcaster would be the weapon of choice if it would accept JPEG Files as input...
    Is there any posibility to solve this problem??

    Hello Karthik,
    I just tried to solve my problem with your suggestions, unfortunately, my JSP channel still doesn't work :(
    The portal server keeps reporting "Server Error..." when I tried to add query at the end of the href.
    Do you still have any other suggestions?

  • Converting Illustrator File into PDF/X-1A File?

    Can someone provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to convert a CS2 Illustrator file (mac) into a PDF/X-1A File that would be suitable for hi-res printing in a major publication? My AI file contains mac fonts (which can either be outlined or kept as is) and one CMYK image. All colors are already in CYMK mode in my AI file.
    Thanks!
    Tuan

    You don't need to outline fonts for a PDF file. Choose File > Save As. Choose Format: Adobe PDF (pdf). Choose the PDF/X-1a:2001 PDF Preset.
    But it's always a good idea to check with the printer for special requirements, if possible.

  • Converting word file into PDF creates exclamation marks

    Hi,
    I have Word 2007 and Acrobat 8.1.7 (OS: Windows XP). When creating PDFs in Word i get exclamation marks at the end of a header, footer and body itself. I tried rebuilding font cache but that didn't help. I also uninstalled all Adobe components and installed them anew - didn't do anything either. Have no other ideas. Please help...
    Thanks!

    The key is the print preview. If they are there, then they are being produced by WORD, not Acrobat. At that point, the Adobe PDF printer driver has not come into play other than providing WORD printer metric information. Check your settins in WORD. You should also be getting the same result if you just printed to paper or any other printer.

  • 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.

  • Converting a word 2000 file into pdf using Adobe Acrobat Standard X

    I reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat Standard X today, and tried to convert a *.doc word file into pdf, but the application could not open the word file and got stalled. I remembered that last time I installed the application the same probelm cropped up and I had to install a Microsoft patch that was required to do this, What is the patch file and how do I get it?

    I answer my question myself. I have solved it myself. The answer can be found by searching adobe website. But I give it here if it can be useful to others. Go to control panel. Go to Add or remove programs. Click on Modify in the listed Adobe program. Click Next in the box that appears. Select Modify. Click on + sign against pdF maker to expand. Click on X sign against 'this feature is not available' which shifts on to the little box on the left of Microsoft Office. Click on Apply. Quit. Once the Microsoft Office becomes disabled in Adobe, Word will open in all places.
