Converting Tiff to PDF

we have a rather urgent requirement to convert Tiff to PDF using an adobe product and without impacting the budget..
the last time i did any conversion to pdf, i used standard version of acrobat which came with pdf maker. unfortunately, this was only for Word documents and i had to instantiate a copy of word and invoke a print in order to do this. that i was using VB.
what is the easiest way to convert tiff to pdf programmatically?
one of our developers indicated that acrobat jar (free download) may allow you to do conversions as well. is this right?? seems akward considering the # of pdf converters out there.
we are mainly a java shop.
thanx in advance for response.

> acrobat jar (free download)
No, this is a viewer only. It does not do PDF creation.
> without impacting the budget
Adobe does not offer any free products capable of converting TIFF to PDF directly.
However, there is a possibility. Currently Adobe is running a Beta program for its Acrobat.com services (http://www.acrobat.com). Here you can create a PDF from a TIFF for free, and you can register for a developer key to get access to the API if you wish to construct an application leveraging the Acrobat.com services.
Just remember - the service is still in Beta, and it is not a "redistributable" SDK in the common sense. All the conversion processing will be done by Acrobat.com on the Acrobat.com servers, it is not done locally on your machines, so your application needs to take this into consideration.

Page Size When Converting TIFF to PDF

In my work I download documents from a website where you can only view and save them as TIFF images. The documents are scanned images of typewritten instruments filed with the county clerk. When saved as TIFFs, the documents are of varying sizes. After I save them as TIFF files, I convert to pdf using select (often multiple files at once), then right click "Convert to Adobe PDF." The files convert to pdf without a problem, except they are of many different page sizes, depending upon the size of the TIFF file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard (Windows 7 on a PC). Is there a way to set it up so when I convert from TIFF to pdf, it will come out as a standard page size, such as legal 8.5x14? I know that I can convert, then print using the Adobe PDF printer, but that just adds another step.
Would the answer be different if I were using Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat XI? Thanks.

TIFF files contain a page size, and when converted to PDFs, the page size from the TIFF is used.
So you need to fix it in the TIFF before conversion or the PDF after conversion. I think the TIFF will probably be a better, easier and cheaper place to fix it.

Convert TIFF to PDF in ABAP

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a TIFF-File (coming from an IXOS-Archiv) into a PDF-File. Perhabs someone can give me a hint, to reach this goal in ABAP?!? In Java there are my Libraries supporting this, but I don't fint any ABAP-Code ...
Thanks a lot ...

Convert tiff to pdf using on line converter

Acrobat 9 automatically converts .TIFF files to .PDF - how do I disable?

Why is Acrobat 9 opening .TIFF files as a .PDF? I would like it to remain a .TIFF instead of autmoatcailly converting to a .PDF. This happens when I click on .TIFF images on the web, or save them as a .TIFF locally. I've not found an option under preferences that would toggle this. The dozen or so other workstations here do not behave this way (we have to go through a print-to-PDF converting process if we want to convert). Thanks!

Thanks for the fast reply! I checked and confirmed there are no TIFF viewer programs installed aside from Acrobat (and the defaul Microsoft Picture Viewer and Microsoft Document Viewer). Acrobat 9 is the default TIFF and TIF viewer too. Not much is installed on this machine. Here is a screen capture of the programs.

Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

I'm getting the below error while converting the PDF(that was generated) to PDF/A.
Caused by: com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: Input Document is a already flat PDF Document

Please give me the solution to convert PDF to PDF/A?

I've just read a footnote in the API documentation which indicates that the transformPDF function cannot be used for this purpose:
"GS_Enterprise said on Nov 24, 2007 at 12:03 PM :
Please note that the parameter "inPdfDoc" for transformPDF assumes that the stream content is an XFA-based PDF, and that it's not an XFA-based PDF with a PDF background (also known as "XFA foreground"). In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

Convert a color pdf to BW

How do I convert a color PDF to black and white?
I am using Adobe Acrobat X version 10.1.7.
Is there an easy way to do this?

As I said, I have not had much success that way either. Pro had the preflight conversion to Grayscale. Since you have Std, you may have to simply use separate graphic tools to convert to Grayscale and then recreate the PDF. If it is a scanned PDF, then you could simply save to a TIFF, use a graphic package to convert to grayscale (I use Irfanview for this type of simple task) and then move the TIFFs back into a PDF. If you have a mix of graphics and text, you may have to deal with a bit more. If the print converts the text, but not the graphics, you might try extracting the graphics (bitmaps I hope) under the tools menu. Convert those graphics to grayscale and then replace the color images with the new ones. (work on a copy of your PDF just in case something does not work)

Word keeps stoping in the middle of converting word to PDF

I have a windows 7 desktop with office 2013 and adobe XI STD, every time i try to convert word to PDF or convert PDF to Tiff, my word stops working

I have reinstalled the Adobe and did several repairs, then added adobe reader. when that did not work I reinstalled the Microsoft office 2013, still did not work. When I ran it in administrator it converted fine, so I though maybe permissions, check them and add the user onto the adobe folder, still did not work?????

Error in converting *.doc to *.pdf

Running winXP home sp2, adobe pro 7.1.0
This problem has started suddenly.
When converting *.doc to *.pdf a window titled AcroDist.exe-Application Error comes up:
"0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x0218ebbc". The memory could not be "read".
Acrobat stops and can only be stopped from the Task Manager. Try to print something in *.pdf -- same thing happens.
Anyone, any suggestions? I would be thankful.
joeZy

Gloria Mc,
This occurs with all .doc, Excel, .rtf, .txt (even when trying to print .pdf from a txt software like notepad. It does not occur with picture format files like .jpg or .tiff. I also can combine .pdf files.
As far as JR's question, if I generate a .prn file and drop it in AcroDist (Distiller), it tries to open Distiller and the same error message comes up.
All other functions of AA7 seem to work, only when trying to convert document files to .pdf is there a problem.
If I try to bring up Distiller by itself (no file), the same error occurs.
I'm still willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for your interest.

Read In Email, parsing Attachments and converting them to PDF

Dear Forum,
When an email arrives, I want to check wether there are attachments present in this email. When there are .GIF, .PNG or .TIFF files attached, I want to convert them to a PDF.
Does anybody knows how to do one of these steps in Java?
1) parsing attachments out of email
2)converting them to PDF
Thank you,
Stefan Tysbaert

In your JavaMail download there is a directory containing examples of JavaMail code. One of those examples covers your first question.
And the second question ("How do I convert a GIF file to PDF?") isn't a question about JavaMail.

Converting AutoCAD to PDF (in monochrome)

Objective: to convert multiple AutoCAD files (via Windows Explorer) to PDF - converting from color to monochrome.
Now......I can successfully print to pdf from within AutoCAD and get monochrome outcome by selecting appropriate plotter configuration.
My problem is stemming from attempting for this same outcome by selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer, right clicking, and selecting "Convert to..." options.
1. I always get the color version
2. PDF plots tend to have additional white space/margins (not printing to page size).
- I've played with default settings in the print driver itself.
- I've been in Distiller and attempted some customized settings there.
I just can't seem to find where/how to get a positive outcome on this one.
Since my job entails me to do this routine quite often I would greatly appreciate any assistance I can get from you "pro's" out there.
Cuz' this "one at a time" routine in AutoCAD is wayyyy too time consuming.
With great appreciation!
Tracy
I should also include the facts that I am using: AutoCAD 2011, and Adobe Acrobate 9 Pro.

I am also having trouble with converting AutoCAD DWG to Adobe PDF. I have tried several different methods. I've tried outputing the color PDF to a post script file, however that is still in color. I've tried using custom Color Plot Styles (monochrome.ctb) and Named Plot Styles (monochrome.stb), but since I did not create the original AutoCAD DWG (it is 10 years old from 2004), they are not the correct plot style files. I do not have AutoCAD and use ProE/Creo instead. I've tried importing into my CAD tool, however all the fonts are different. I've also tried exporting the PDF to a raster format like TIFF but the resolution is really bad for engineering drawings. If I increase the resolution, then it sometimes will say that the image is too big and in cannot save/export the image.
It seems like this should be really simple to do in Adobe. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. I can go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF Fixups > Convert to grayscale, which will convert to grayscale, but not to monochrome. Similarly I can go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors and select Conversion Profile to Gray Gamma 2.2, however that still will produce grayscale, but not monochrome.
