Create a PDF program

Ok so I had a Microsoft Word 2007 document that I wanted to transfer into a PDF. I went on the free adobe site to change to a PDF. I realized after I did that that I had not changed something I wanted to. Is there anyway to edit this PDF file? As I need to change some info in it. Hopefully it can be done. I can't buy anymore and only have 4 free transfers which I do not want to waste.

Could you direct me to where I can get this? How long is the trial good for?
Is there a way I can just copy a Microsoft Works file with pictures in it into a
PDF file. I tried on here using something and the pics would not go in.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

Can't create a PDF using "print" from Office 2010 w/ Acrobat 9.5.1 installed

I've been working on a lengthy Word document for the past three days, upgrading most of the inserted images and straightening out the formatting. Converting the entire 180-odd page document every time I made a few updates is a bit time-consuming. I also noticed that when I converted the entire document as a whole, the quality of some (not all) of the images in the document was significantly degraded. So I'd been using the Adobe Acrobat printer selection in Word to create single page pdf files, and then used the documents tab in Acrobat to insert the new page and delete the undesirable page.
This was working fine for two days. Then I was attempting to print a page, and didn't notice the "Creating a PDF Document" window, nor did I see the requested filename in the target folder. I attempted to print the page a second time, but nothing happened. After closing several open pages, I found the "Creating a PDF Document" pop-up. But the progress bar was stuck at about 20% and never moved. Eventually I closed the pop-up and attempted to print again. The pop-up reappeared but stuck at 20%. Rebooted and got the same. I rebooted again and went into Program and Features and ran repair on both Office 2010 and Acrobat. No change.
I'm operating Win 7 (64 bit) w/ SP1 on an AMD E-350 1.60Ghz processor w/ 8GB of ram. I'm using Office Professional Plus 2010 build 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit). I've included the System Report below. The only trick I have left is to uninstall and reinstall, but hoping for a more specific solution. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

Creating a PDF that is customizable/interactive for different companies and representatives

I am rather new to Adobe, however I am able to use most of the software (illustrator, indesign, Photoshop, LiveCycle) just fine.
My issue is I am not sure which program/technique I should use for an interactive PDF I need to create.
I am trying to create a PDF document that will be around 50 pages. This document I will distribute to representatives in my company who work for many different financial institutions. I somehow want to create this PDF for them to be able to customize by inserting their financial institution's logo and date to the footer and insert their name to title page (and any other applicable pages).
If possible, I was hoping there was a way to include a page where our representatives could select from a checklist which of the 50 pages of the PDF they wanted to include in their document. The representatives also are not that tech savvy and think just telling them to delete the pages from the PDF could cause potential problems. Also a checklist would be simple and look much more professional.
The representatives would not have access to any Adobe design software, so the final document would have to be some sort of interactive/customizable PDF through Acrobat.
I am kind of lost as to how I can create this PDF and so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! It's also possible I may be in the wrong program forum. So apologize if I am.
Thanks!

This can be done using Adobe Acrobat yes.
You need to decide how many uses this item will get. The reason is you have to specially enable the forms so that the users can use Reader to save the changes afterwards. These enabled files have use restrictions. You can send them to 500 people and they can use them as many times as they want or you can send them to as many people as you want but can only collect the item back 500 times.

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Create Adobe PDF from Word DOCX Issue

Good Morning All,
We have stumbled across an apparently well-known issue, which annoyingly for all concerned does not seem to have a satisfying answer. One rather long discussion is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4237240. There is at least one other which also alludes to the issue basically involving Office 2010 SP1 and having the Word user template location re-directed to a network drive. None of the suggested things have worked, and we do not want to even try the user template location on a local drive, we want a fix for what is really a fairly standard scenario.
I think we have found something new to add to the mix, this is noted later in the post. For completeness I have also included a condensed version of events/stuff we have tried, to help anybody who reads this and may have an answer.
Our scenario is as follows:
We recently performed a Microsoft Office 2007 to Office 2010 SP1 upgrade. A week or so in advance of this we upgraded all those folks that had Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to X, (v10.0.0).
Within a couple of days of the Office upgrade we had reports of an issue whereby users could not convert Word documents to PDF. Window title: Create Adobe PDF, message: Unable to open the document <path to file>. Please check to see if you have permission for the above file. (The user always does have rights to the location.)
All machines are 32bit Windows 7 and well capable of running this OS and these apps.
Machine patching is maintained by SCCM.
Deployment of Acrobat and Office was done by SCCM.
The issue broken down:
Conversion of Word documents to PDF fails in these scenarios:
Windows Explorer – right click of single file and ‘Convert to PDF’.
Windows Explorer – right click of multiple files and batch conversion option.
Outlook – Convert to PDF and e-mail. (Error message is different, apologies I have no note of this to hand.)
It should be noted that conversion of any other file format works, plus conversion of Word documents consistently works inside the Word interface using Adobe toolbar.
Not consistently a user based issue:
It usually * fails for our main test user on her PC. Although sometimes a single file or batch file conversion will work. However the option in Outlook never works. (* Every so often the single file and batch conversion’s do work for the test user, there is no obvious reason as we have not applied any fixes that worked!)
Everything works fine for the test user on my PC and another PC in her department.
Not consistently a machine based issue.
The process always works for me on my machine, but fails most of the time when I use the test users PC.
The process always works for a test account cloned from the test user’s actual account.
Giving local admin rights to the test user did not help.
Summary of things tried:
Various forum suggestions have not worked:
Deleting/renaming normal.dotm worked initially but the problem returned within a couple of days.
Registering some Adobe DLL's: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll & C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Common\AdobePDFMakerX.dll.
The Word Add-in tool bar is enabled.
The users name and intials are present in Word options.
There are no rogue temp files in %temp% or C:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\word.
Stuff we have tried independently:
Repair Office install then repair Adobe install.
Patching Acrobat to 10.1.1 & 10.1.4.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat, including patch.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat Pro and Reader, (using the official Adobe labs removal tool), including patch. (When products were removed Office was repaired. Just Acrobat Pro X was installed after, no Reader.)
During this work I noticed two files in %temp% which get updated when file conversion is attempted: amt.log and swtag.log. After Googling these files I found there may be some interesting stuff in amt.log when the process fails. Unfortunately this has not been the case. There is no obvious log entry difference between a successful conversion and a failure.
However at this time I started to notice files in %temp% in the following format: cv*.tmp.cvr. Google revealed these to be Office crash dump files. Unfortunately these files are always zero bytes long and literally contain nothing to analyse!
So after clearing out all these .cvr files I ran Task Manager, and had %temp% open in a folder. I then tried the conversion process:
Firstly it fails!
Secondly a zero byte .cvr file is created and usually disappears right away.
Thirdly winword.exe appears and disappears quickly in Task Manager.
You can repeat this to your heart’s content by hitting the retry button!
The only thing I can add about my PC is that I never had Acrobat until I tried installing it to re-create the issue. So it may be that my PC having no legacy Adobe install issues, (I only had Reader previously), was less prone to whatever is the root of this issue? The affected machines in the field have at least been upgraded from v9.
As you can tell we have found it very hard to pin the issue down. The circumstances for a failure are not consistently repeatable. I do think the key thing we have noticed though is the obvious crashing of winword.exe when this process fails. As evidenced by the creation of the cv*.tmp.cvr files and watching the process appear and disappear in Task Manager. Nothing I have read elsewhere notes this, and it seems to me that winword.exe does not like being called in this way. This is surely very key to the issue?

I should also add that there are no error messages appearing on screen when we have a failure, and nothing is logged in any Windows event log.
I have done lots more searching since first reporting this. Lots of people have this issue going back to last year at least with Office 2010 SP1 Acrobat X. No answers or fixes out there apparently despite being promised to some people who have done a bug report.
This is really not good enough. I have reported our scenario as a bug report earlier today. Hopefully I will get a proper fix, then I will gladly pass it on.

Is there a way to create a pdf that preserves all links from the origional document?

Hi,
I have a new, rather large, pdf document I need to create. After discovering that adobe will not reliably convert hyperlinks from an office document, I need a new strategy. Does anyone know of a program, other than office, that adobe will reliably convert the links in the origional document into links in the pdf? Or is there a different way to do this, other than adding links in adobe after I create the pdf?
I have Windows 7, Office 2007, Acrobat Pro X, and IE 8 (I know... it's a work laptop)
Thanks

In iTunes, File>Print. Then select your options.

How can you create a pdf report to attach to an email?

I have a need to create a PDF report with graphics and signature and somehow attached the PDF document to and email to send out. This is all hopefully done in my APEX application. Has anyone done anything similar?

I have several projects that use PL/PDF - with the pdf form filling API's - to populate pdf form and then attach the output to a BLOB variable in PL/SQL - which can then be attached to e-mail, displayed to user's browser, and saved into a BLOB column in a table. If you are comfotable with coding PL/SQL packages, this is not difficult to do at all.
The goodness of PL/PDF is that it is composed of PL/SQL packages with some wrapped Java programs - the output is generated directly from the database. You don't need to deal with the complexity and security concerns of calling an external Java middle tier to return the document. However, if you are not comfortable with PL/SQL coding, this may be a lot of work because the software does not have a report designer like Oracle BI Publisher, which costs more than $90K to run on a 2-CPU Server.
Thanks.

When creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro it seems to change my reference numbering system???

I am trying to create a PDF file using Acrobat Pro trial version (before I buy it I need to know if it works for me). The file I am using is a condensed version of a report so it has some of the tables/figures omitted and therefore the numbering sequence isn't sequential ie. it can jump from Figure 9-2 to 9-4. For some reason - when creating the PDF - the program is CHANGING the numbering system of the original file in the body of the document - but the Table of Contents keeps it how I had it. HELP??!!! How do I make it just create the PDF exactly how it is in the Word document file without automatically making any changes like that to it?!
I have tried several ways to create the PDF - in Word - I tried doing it as a Print command, also in Word I tried doing it from there, also I tried creating it from a file right in Acrobat Pro. I also tried "protecting" the document first - but this didn't work either.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples : LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

because the adobe posting system went crazy and truncated all except the first line ... dunno why

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

How to create a pdf file?

Hi,
I would like to know how to create a pdf file programatically using APIs. I have acrobat8 or acrobat9 sdk but there no dll in sdk.
Do i need acrobat library? If yes then how to get the same?

You need Adobe Acrobat.

Hi,
We use Aspose.Words to create Microsoft Word (.doc) documents from one of our Intranet applications. These documents are then further modified in Microsoft Word and are then converted to PDF files using the distiller in Acrobat 8 Professional.
The distiller ends with a message saying it encountered an error and could not complete the conversion.
If we create a document directly in Microsoft Word and then use the distiller to convert it to a PDF, the distiller runs just fine.
Would you have any idea of what might be causing this problem? The distiller gives no indication of the cause of the problem, only that is one!
I also tried using the Create Adobe PDF Online service to convert the same Aspose.Words .doc file and it worked fine.
Any help you can give on this would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I mistakenly referred to the distiller.
We are using PDF Maker in Word. It appears as an icon on the Word toolbar once Acrobat Professional 8 has been installed. When I open the Aspose.Words .doc document in Word and click on the toolbar icon, PDF Maker launches and starts the conversion program and then Microsoft Word ends with their standard message "Microsoft Word has encountered an error and needs to close...".
I also tried going into Acrobat Professional 8 and chose File --> Create PDF --> From File off the menu bar. I selected the same Aspose.Words .doc document file to convert and once again the conversion process started, but this time it gave me the following error message:
"Unable to convert PDF file.
Invalid page range or conversion setting parameters."
When I clicked on OK to clear the message, I got the following:
"Acrobat could not open 'xxxxx.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft applications."
I assume that since the on-line service can successfully convert this document, it is a supported file type and is not damaged (not sent as an email attachment, so no issue there). I tried opening the document in Word and printing it to Adobe PDF and that worked, but my users really like the convenience of the Acrobat toolbar so I would like them to be able to use it to create PDF files from Aspose.Words documents.
I am using all the default settings. Is there some setting I should be changing?
As I mentioned earlier, I did try the Create Adobe PDF on-line service with this same file and it worked just fine, so there seems to be a difference between how the on-line service does the conversion and how PDF Maker does it. Printing the document to Adobe PDF also works, so again, there must be some difference in the way PDF Maker does it.
Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much!
