Create PDF document via Acrobat OLE/Automation?

Hi,
Is it possible to utilize the OLE/Automation feature of Acrobat Professional, instead of Acrobat SDK, to create a PDF document and add objects into it?
Thanks

OLE is a part of the SDK, not something different from it.
To use OLE you need the SDK as that is where it is documented.
OLE is very limited but it can run Acrobat JavaScript. Even then, it probably won't do what you want. You can add form fields and annotations but not page content.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

"...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader."
Not possible.
No version of Adobe Reader can:
--| create PDF
--| manipulate PDF page content
--| export PDF page content
Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.
Be well...

SharePoint Online - Generate or create PDF documents with content

Hi,
We are in the process of evaluating SharePoint Online for a project that requires to create PDF documents. These documents are kind of reports that can be generated in the system. In case of on-premise we would have created a custom farm solution probably
using some PDF creation DLL to create the document.
However, wanted to know what are the options in SPOnline? The word automation service might not help because in that case we will need to generate a word document first and then convert it to PDF. Also, creation of this word document would again be a question
to answer.
Any suggestion/thoughts?

There is no create a PDF option in SharePoint. (not in on-prem and not in online)
You can print to PDF in most of the Operating systems and/or browsers by default.
And you can of course create a document and save that to PDF (or export to PDF or Print to PDF)
The Word Automation service..... is for Word... as you mention you dont't want to use word.... so that is not an option.
In general ... WHY?
If it is for Locking down the posibilities for a end user who sees the document you can also implement IRM (based on AADRM or just in Word itself)
If it is for publishing... you also need a "source document" and that can be Word.
So without the whole story it is difficult to advice.... In general if you want to create PDF document and edit it right from PDF and also don't want to use the Office suite, maybe a solution of Adobe like: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html

Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.

Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Hi higi97,
How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
You may try to follow the steps below:
1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Delete the opm.db file.
4.Launch Creative Cloud.
Let us know if that helps,
Regards,
Rave

Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
"An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
Please help.

The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.
You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

Transaction SFP: ADS can create PDF documents with imbedded XML ?

Hello,
Reading through the documentation of the integration of SAP and Adobe interactive forms, I somehow have the impression this is possible, but I do not find a hint how do it.
I want to create PDF documents which should be 'finished' outside SAP. Is it possible to create a PDF document which contains not encrypted text (XML-stings), which can be parsed and replaced.
Any idea is very much appreciated,
Robert

Acrobat Pro version 8 doesn't create pdf documents using Windows 7

I run Windows 7 on my PC and have installed Acrobat Professional 8. When I try to create a pdf (or using the pdf printer), it just hangs up and won't create the document. Any fixes for this?
Thanks.

You likely have a 64-bit system. Do the updates and you might be successful. Several folks have reported success on 32-bit Win7 installations and a few with 64-bit systems. However, the updates are critical. If you have trouble doing the updates from the help menu, use http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install the updates in order (a few can be skipped and you can note those by downloading from the most recent that tells the previous version required). You can also save time by rebooting only after the last update.
