Converting ps file to pdf w/o adobe?

I somehow (don't ask me how, because I have no idea...) I saved an adobe digital editions ebook as a postscript file. I want to be able to put a pdf on my ipad. I've tried apps like txtr and bluefire but they don't work. So, I have this postscript file and when I try to open it in preview, it brings up a conversion window. When the conversion is done, it says it's processing. Then, preview just closes (and no it wasn't frozen or needed to be forced quit)
So my question is how do I convert this ps file to a file that can be read on my ipad? I don't want to be some adobe software to do it because I'm a high schooler and don't see a reason for dropping 100+ bucks on a one time thing

Have you checked with your copyright holder on that? Clearly, as you mentioned later on, the goal here is to remove the DRM from the document so you can copy it. You've done that, but now the image version is almost 2 GB in size and is too large to load.
The reason this is so difficult is because it was meant to be difficult. Check your original document and see what rights you have to it. That is all you can do. It is against the Terms of Use for Apple Support Communities to discuss ways to remove digital rights from protected works.

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

  • I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

    I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

    Hi hpmg,
    It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
    It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
    Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf  and check if that works for you.

  • 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).

  • How do I convert a file to PDF without subscribing?

    I just downloaded Adobe Reader X, I'm running Windows 7, When I try to convert a file to PDF I'm required to subscribe? I thought this was free? Any ideas?

    Adobe Reader is free - and it reads PDF files; it doesn't create them.
    Adobe CreatePDF and ExportPDF are online subscription services for people who don't want to buy Acrobat. There are links from inside Adobe Reader so users can find those services more easily, but functionally they're unconnected to Reader.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello, 
    Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate your help, but I need to write this conversion part manually and put into my macro (which is making a lot of more stuff, and this will be one of it functionality). Do you have any idea how I can do it?
    Basically, write I wrote before it just need to open a file, and print it with "Adobe PDF" printer. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it.  
    Hello,
    For converting xps file to pdf, if your pc installed Office, then you could consider the way shared in the following thread.
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/4301147c-cc84-43ed-993f-691a8cb682b1/convert-xps-to-pdf-file-in-vs-2008?forum=vbgeneral
    something like  (don't forget to reference Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel)
    Dim Exapp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
    Dim ExWB As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook = Exapp.Workbooks.Open("yourfilename")
    ExWB.ExportAsFixedFormat(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF, "yourexportedfilename")

    Hi narayanan_1983,
    This article will tell you how to convert XPS file to PDF in vb.net:
    http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/pdfnet/Convert%20XPS%20files%20to%20PDF%20format
    From this article, we know that you could use  a class named
    [{{XpsLoadOptions}}] which is used to initialize a LoadOptions object. Later, this object is passed as an argument during the
    Document object initialization and it helps the PDF rendering engine to determine the source document's input format.
    ' Instantiate LoadOption object using XPS load option
    Dim options As Aspose.Pdf.LoadOptions = New XpsLoadOptions()
    ' Create document object
    Dim document As Aspose.Pdf.Document = New Aspose.Pdf.Document("D:\source.xps", options)
    ' Save the resultant PDF document
    document.Save("D:\resultant.pdf")
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,
    Youjun Tang

  • Reader x will not allow me to convert word files to pdf

    reader x will not let me convert word files to pdf's, even word files that have been converted before. unable to get support through adobe...

    The free Reader has never been able to do much more than reading (opening) PDF files. It has never had the capacity to convert any kind of file to any other format.  If you could do it before, you must have been using another Adobe program/service.

  • Unable to convert text file to PDF

    Hi,
    Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
    Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

  • 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 txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

    Hi,
    We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
    Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
    Please Help,
    Hezi

    I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
    Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
    This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

  • Converting bmp file to pdf

    Hi all,
    Please help me to solve this:
    1) convert bmp file to PDF( using FM) .
    2)There can be many such bmp files ..append them to single pdf file after converting them.
    Thanks and Regards,
    KC

    As has been discussed many times here before, you can't really merge PDF files programmatically in ABAP after they have been created.  Your best bet with this 'unique' requirement is to use a form-based approach I think.
    With a smartform one approach is to create a single page with a window with a graphics node (dynamic name) in it, with the bitmap name specified in the form interface.  Unless you have already loaded the bitmaps in the graphics manager (SE78), you would load the bitmaps at runtime from the presentation server or the application server and then create the graphics dynamically using the methods of class CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET prior to calling the form for each bitmap (a topic discussed recently in the ABAP forums or you can view how SE78 does it by checking the code).  Create a merged spool and then use the standard function to convert the OTF data to PDF format.
    A similar approach can be used with Adobe forms, but you would need to load the bitmaps to the web repository, not the graphics manager.
    What exactly is in the bmp files and where are they stored?  Are they form templates?  You may get a better answer with more details.

  • After converting a file to *.pdf

    After converting a file to *.pdf and saving it, how do you set the program to open this file automatically?

    No, I want  the file to open automatically, not to start the program on starting the computer. That way, I do not have to open the program, and open the file from the location just saved. Applies for any version of Adobe.
