Crashes converting .txt

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.0 (Fresh new install - have rebooted a couple of times since)
Can combine .jpg to a PDF. (From the right click menu of selected objects in Windows Explorer)
As soon as I try to include a .txt file in the combined files, the program crashes with the Windows 'Program stopped working' message.
Tried to Convert the file on its own from the right-click menu - crash again.
Opened Acrobat Pro, and use the Create From file option, selecting a different new, simple, small text file - Acrobat crashes.
Copied the text (3 lines) to the Clipboard, Opened Acrobat Pro, and used the Create from Clipboard option - Acrobat crashes.
Wow, new install, lots of money spent, can not create pdf files from text ?
Did I miss something - can Adobe not cope with text ?

OK then,
Have completely uninstalled Acrobat...
Then completely uninstalled Foxit PDF Reader (CutePDF uinstalled also yesterday when Acrobat printer appeard.)
Uninstalled PDF Download helper from Firerfox (just in case)
Cleaned Registry (Glary utilities)
Rebooted.
Installed Acrobat Pro 9.3.0
Rebooted.
Conversion of text worked - Yay!
Downloaded, upgraded to 9.4.0
Rebooted.
Conversion of text still works - Woot!
Well, 3 installs and several hours of 'work' and testing to get the most basic functionality to work.
I had uninstalled Reader before installing Acrobat as per installation instructions; I hadn't considered the other products though, and I'm sure Adobe will pass the buck - but in my opinion Adobe produce pretty flaky software that is far too sensitive to live up to the inflated price. But PDF is a standard, so what can you do.
All I can say is - roll on HTML5 and the death of Flash

    That's a silly way of course, but you can view a txt file in ms-word but cannot view .doc in notepad.

  • How do I convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting

    I have a large .txt file that I would like to convert to .pdf.  I have tried to print the file and choose Adobe PDF but the output is just a mess.  I loose all the formatting and get blank pages every so often.  Does anyone know if is possible to convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting.  I would try a virtual printer application but I am not able to just install any application on my office computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It may be a bit late for you now but in future (and for anyone else interested) I would recommend copying the text into a word document and changing the text font to Consolas. Adjust the size to fit the page again and it should match the original notepad formatting.

  • 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.

    data: begin of itab occurs 0,
          fld1(10) type c,

          end   of itab.
    data:
          dsn(100) value '/usr/sap/TST/sys/test.txt'.
    constants:
        con_tab  type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
    clear itab.  refresh itab.
    * Read the data.
    open dataset dsn for input in binary mode.
    do.
      read dataset dsn into str.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
       split str at con_Tab into itab-fld1 itab-fld2 itab-fld3.
        append itab.
      else.
        exit.
      endif.
    enddo.
    close dataset dsn.
    Loop at itab.
      write:/ itab-fld1, itab-fld2, itab-fld3.

  • Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

    Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi.
    You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
    It is a good example to use the iText Library.
    The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
    Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
    Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
    I hope you can find the right solution.
    Kindest regards, have a great day

    There is no automatic mechanism for converting a .txt file to XML in any language. You have to define the XML schema and then write the code to generate the XML file. You could also read in your text file into some form of structure and then use the Flatten to XML functions to use the NI XML schema. If you need to use your own XML schema then you would need to use the XML Parser VIs to generate your XML file. Alternatively, you could use LabXML or JKI's EasyXML Toolkit.

    Hi Laxman,
    I have checked the program and found out following:
    the field "acc_mode" which gets populated by FM "GET_ACCESSIBILITY_MODE".

    I can't help you if you haven't asked a question. Does that code compile? If it does, what happens when you run it? Please put your code in the code tags. Highlight your code and click the "CODE" button when posting.

  • Txt to XML

    I need to convert txt file into xml. There are text formatting tags (like <bold></bold>
    , <italic></italic>). I'm new to Java so I'm not sure if I understand my task in the right way.
    For now I think that to "convert txt file into xml" I should:
    1. create myown special parcer, which methods will find text between special tags in txt
    2. write this parsed text to XML with help of DOM
