Create pdf-files trough prn-files in a windows service applicatio

Hi,
i have also the problem to create pdf-files from .prn-files.
in normall windows aplication we ar using the distiller but we would like to create the pdf's by running our application as windows service.
in this case it is not possible to use the distiller. As i understood we have to use the acrobat PDG Generator as a server application.
My question is, is it possible to make function calls to the service where i pass trough the prn-file and the according pdf-file is than created immediately.
This is important because the created pdf-file ist than used for different purposes.

Login problems with create pdf,share and my files

Hello ,
When I currently go to www.acrobat.com on my windows xp
computer and try to go to one of the create pdf,share and my files
and click on begin I get a message saying sorry this service is
temporary unavailable but when I click on learn more it says all
service are up and runing. Does anyone know what is wrong and if
the service is down when will it be fixed.?

Hi Sue!
This seems like a separate issue you're running into. It is
good that you can get logged in, but odd that you're only seeing
partial functionality in your user.
How many files are missing? Is this affecting certain file
types?
Did you ever see files in your My Files section?
How long have they been unavailable/missing?
When uploaded, did they complete making it through the
scanning process?
Can you see files in your Buzzword organizer? (which is a
different section than your My files organizer)
Create new documents?
It would be good to get another browser as a comparison test
here as well, to see if there is any different behavior!
It could be firewall related, but what you could do is maybe
try logging into your account from another person's computer for a
moment, to see if the files are visible there?
Otherwise, the test from home, or laptop at a coffee shop,
would be another good test!
Get back to us with some of these questions answered, and
we'll see about getting you up and running!
Cheers,

How to create pdf from word doc file

HI
I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
* create archive pdf file
lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
oWord.application.quit
release oword
I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
The code was this:
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
    oWordApp.Visible = True
    oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
    Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
    strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
    oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
    oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _
        Copies:=1, _
        Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, _
        Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _
        Pages:="", _
        PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        Collate:=True, _
        Background:=False, _
        PrinttoFile:=False, _
        OutputFileName:=strOutputPDFName
If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

Creating pdf from folders of files & retaining structure

Hi there!
I am hoping someone can tell me how to pdf entire folders of files into one file yet still retain the file structure so that it follows the logical sequence that it is already sitting in.
I have several folders of folders with many hundreds of files in which I'd like to combine into a single file or package yet retain the folder arrangement.Current size of this is around 40-60 MB..
I want to make it into one file so its easier to transfer to customers on a CD yet they need to be able to use a folder structure as some of the files contained have similar names yet are different.
Is this possible?
I've just tried to make them into a package but the damn thing [I'm currently using Acrobat 8 Pro] has jammed the whole lot in willy nilly and the folders are all gone so there are multiple pages with similar names but the structure is all gone....
ie I have a master folder called Consultants, and the sub folder have titles such as Product X, contained in Product X's folder are folders - Data & Drawings, Technical information. Files can be in many different formats but mainly CAD, pdf, word.
HELP!
I don't really want to have to go all the way thru this file creating bookmarks... I just want it to look like it does on the server - in folders and easily identifiable so that even an idiot could use it & find what they wanted.

You can't do this, a PDF file is exactly that, one file. What you're wanting is the Windows Explorer view of individual files. If you're putting them on a CD just put the master folder on the CD. If you're transferring them via FTP or similar zip the folder first.
You can however when you're using the Combine files feature in Acrobat 8 automatically create bookmarks based on the file names whcih would save you the grief of doing that.

Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, no Create PDF Protfolio option from File Create

Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, instructions say to load via> File, Create, Create PDF Portfolio, there is no option for Create PDF Portfolio in my Acrobat XI

(Actually, I think this question is about Adobe Acrobat, not CreatePDF.)
Do you have Acrobat Standard? If so, I think it is a mistake that you were offered this, as portfolios are a feature of Acrobat Pro. At least, that's what I remember.

How to not include the path when creating pdf from many html files?

I use "Merge File into a Single File" to create a pdf file from many html files. However, the generated pdf file have the path information of the html files. I'm wondering how to generate a pdf without the path information.

Go to CREATE > Create PDF from Web Page > Click the SETTINGS button on the dialog that follows > Uncheck "Place headers and footers on new page".
Thanks!

Using Frame 9, Acrobat 9.5, suddenly cannot create pdf. The ps file is empty, and the process results in unresolved cross-refs. Have updated w/o success.

I've beenusing the Tech Comm Suite with Frame 9 and Acrobat 9.5 for years, and suddenly cannot create a pdf of a frame doc. The ps file is empty. This is happening to a colleague using the same suite across the country. Any suggestions? Please help!

OK, that's pretty plain vanilla. Assuming you've already checked the Adobe
Updates web page to ensure that both applications are fully patched....
The thing that jumps out from your procedure is that you don't seem to have
the Acrobat printer set as the system default because you're selecting it.
So I'd make that change. And you may want to then reboot, to make sure it
sticks.
The second thing I'd do is eliminate your Step 1, because if you don't
select Print To File and do that dance, if the Acrobat Printer is selected
(as it should be if it's the system default), Acrobat will create the PS
file and distill it automatically, then delete the temp files -- that's
what it's designed to do. (This would also make Step 2 and 3 unnecessary,
because Acrobat is your system default printer now.)
Probably no harm in forcing it into manual mode as you're doing, except the
extra time and keystrokes, but I'd try the other path just to see what
happens.
Are you getting any error messages in the Frame Console window?

Creating pdf's from multiple files

Hello
I have 6 Quark artwork files. Is there a way to make pdf's from them all without opening each one and saving as a pdf individually? They would all need to have the same pdf settings.
Thanks
Vicky

That's odd... Try creating a blank Action (under Tools - Action Wizards)
and running it on those files. That should also convert them to PDF files.

Can't create pdf files v10.0

I have computer with Windows 7 64-bit installed. I was using adobe 9.X and was able to create pdf from a variety of sources.
I installed by Acrobat 10.0 Pro and performed all of the updates for windows, etc. I can create pdfs from Office 2010 and some other applications.
When I print from an internally developed application to the pdf printer, it shows it in the queue and then it disappears without creating anything.
Before the upgrade to 10.0 the following would happen.
a) print preview dialog would show up
b) Click the print button and a dialog would appear and ask for the file name.
c) The document would be generated.
Now,
a) print preview dialog would show up
b) The dialog asking for a file name does NOT appear.
c) The document appears in the print queue for a second, without a filename and then disappears. Nothing is created.
Work around,
a) print preview dialog would show up
b) select "print to file" to create a prn file.
c) prn file is created
d) right click on prn file and select "convert to adobe pdf"
e) pdf file is created.
The pdf file has images, but I do not see any reason for the change in behavior.
Again everything work fine with adobe 9.X. I have changed numerous setting without any solutions to date.
Any help would be appreciated to avoid the work around.
Stephen

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? We have an old Power Builder app that is experiencing the exact same behavior.

Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

Create PDF from two files in sub folder automation

I am looking to create an automation tool that does the following to help save time (the current process takes about 20 min):
First, take two specific files (The first page is a single worksheet excel file that is fitted to one page. The second is a word document.) in a user defined location and combine them into one document. Currently this is done manually through Acrobat 8 via the Create PDF function for each file then the Combine PDF function.
Second, I would like to have the Bookmark and Attachment pane set for initial view, but there is not a preset option for this. Is this even possible? Currently, I set the initial view to bookmarks and page, and include a not one the first page on how to open the attachment pane.
Third, all external links to documents, via hyperlinks, are added as attachements and the links are changed to point to the attachment so that all information is contained within one document.
Lastly, this newly created document is posted to an intranet location.
Any help in part or whole would be great.
NOTE: All code must be included as an add-in to Acrobat as this is within a corporate environment and server side scripts are not allowed.

I have created the following script as a start to trying to figure this out, but I am getting unexpected results. When I run this script, I get the two files, Temp and Combined. The Temp file is, as expected, a pdf version of the last file in the array, but the Combined file is where the problem is. With the Combined file, I have one blank page, then my single worksheet from the workbook, and then only the first page of the word document which is 26 pages. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
In addition, is there a way to prompt the user to select the filepath through a Windows Explorer interface?
Current code:
var filepath = "/c/filepath/"
// Create a new PDF document for Profile:
doc = app.newDoc();
doc.saveAs({ cPath: filepath + "Temp.pdf" });
doc.closeDoc(true);
doc = app.openDoc({cPath: filepath + "Temp.pdf" })
// List of files of different extensions
aFiles = new Array( "Doc1.xls", "Doc1.doc");
for ( var i=0; i < aFiles.length; i++) {
// Open and convert the document
newDoc = app.openDoc({
oDoc: doc,
cPath: aFiles[i],
bUseConv: true
// Save the new PDF file to a temp folder
newDoc.saveAs({ cPath: filepath + "Combined.pdf" });
// Close it without notice
newDoc.closeDoc(true);
// Now insert that PDF file just saved to the end of the first document
doc.insertPages ({
nPage: doc.numPages-1,
cPath: filepath + "Combined.pdf",
nStart: 0
