Creating a PDF while maintaining same layout

I've created a label for a client for her to print via a PDF. It is 10 labels per page (Avery product). I can print just fine directly from Illustrator. But creating a PDF for her to print changes the layout, and the labels no longer print exactly on her labels. What do I change to retain the same margins, etc.?

On a hunch, try this. In Ai with the original file open > do a command Y ( this will show you the artwork and elements in "outline" mode ) > Command A ( select all ). You might see a hidden element that is forcing the artboard to read larger than it actually is. If there are any hidden elements on or outside the artboard, delete them. My "locked" holding line will not be affected because you will not be able to select it. Hope this helps.
Should everything look the way it should, hit the command Y keys again to bring back the preview.

Can Acrobat create a PDF using the same page numbers as FrameMaker?

I'm using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and Acrobat Pro 9. I know I can set the page numbers after I create the PDF (Advanced > Document Processing > Page Numbering), but is there any way to tell Acrobat (or Distiller) to do this automatically based on the page format set up in FrameMaker? Right now, the cover and inside cover have no page numbers, but I could assign them numbers and hide them. The TOC is lower case Roman numerals, and the rest of the book uses Arabic page numbering. Someone has asked whether we can have the page numbers be reflected in the page field so that when you enter page 10, it takes you to page 10 of the book (where 10 appears in the corner of the page), not the tenth page of the PDF, which might land you in the TOC.
We produce PDFs as part of an automated system, which is why I can't mess with it after it's been produced.

There is a FrameMaker plug-in that can do this:

Or, you might consider using PDFMark to add page labels.

Creating a PDF from Word, endnote links jump to wrong page

I have a Word file with a large number of endnotes. In Acrobat 9.5.5 the endnote links jumped to the correct page. In Acrobat XI, which I just upgraded to, all endnotes jump to the wrong page. Somehow when converting the Word to PDF the calculation of what page to jump to is calculated incorrectly. Is this a known problem? I see other discussions on problems with endnotes but they are for different problems. How can I resolve this. I don't want to have to revert to Acrobat 9, but it worked.

Well I tried that. I set the printer driver to Adobe PDF. I then selected all text and hit F9 to refresh all links and saved the file and then went to the Acrobat tab to create the PDF version. Using the application and importing the file to create a PDF causes the same result. I can now see a pattern of what is happening. This has a large number of endnotes, 525. There are probably 30+ endnotes links per page. I noticed that all the endnotes links for the first page that has the links all point to the second page of endnotes in the endnote section (strange that it starts with the second page and not the first), then all the endnote links of the next page point to the third page of endnotes and it continues that way until the end.
Another way to describe this is that the first page of endnote links should point to endnote pages 1 through 4 but they all point to page 2.
I checked and all the links in the Work doc are linking correctly.
I wonder if version XI has been rewritten since version 9 and my case is too extreme for this version and it chokes. I'm trying to rebuild part of the file from scratch and see if the problem goes away since there is a lot of history to this file and it started at least at Word 2007. I'm using Word 2013 now and have converted the format to the 2013 level.
I've sent in a bug report but have not heard anything and talked to customer service over chat but they don't seem to care enough to pass this to development even though it's easily reproducible.
Thanks for your help.

I have a problem creating a pdf from within Firefox using the print to function.

I have a problem creating a PDF from within Firefox. I get an error message stating that Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated. Acrobat Pro then opens. If it try to create the PDF again, the same problem. I have FF ver 3.6.10 and Acrobat Pro 8 (from Acrobat CS3).

Creating an 11x17 booklet while maintaining file quality/size

I regularly use Pages for newsletter production - my newsletters must be in 11x17 format when submitted to a printer for production. I do not have InDesign or Quark - I'm trying to avoid the expense, quite honestly.
So: when I have completed a Pages document, I must convert to 11x17. I currently use Cocoa Booklet to do this. However, much to my dismay, I've found that the size/quality of my document takes a nose dive when I convert to 11x17 format with Cocoa Booklet!
I want to give my file to the printer in the highest possible resolution. One of the newsletters I do frequently contains artwork, and the creator deserves decent quality images in the final printed product.
So my question is: is there any way to create an 11x17 document from a Pages document while maintaining the original document quality?
Thank you!

See the other post for the problem of assembling an imposed set of pages. Usually though your commercial printer will handle this. If they can't I really wonder whether they should be handling the job.
The core problem of resolution and quality suitable for commercial printing is however a problem with the colorsync quartz filters used by OSX to produce PDF-X files. Apple has set these up wrong and made them well nigh impossible to correct.
If anyone out there can give detailed step by step instructions how to alter the filters in Colorsync Utility and make them appear correctly and consistently in the printer options, I and many others will be eternally grateful.
As it stands the output reduces many graphics, effects and even some text to an unacceptable 72dpi pixellation.
The inking is wildly over what commercial printing requires. Normally this should never total more than 320% to prevent smearing, pooling and overwetting and bubbling the paper.
The filters do not provide the crop marks, bleeds or printer's slugs needed for production.
The filters do not allow targeting of the individual printer's equipment and settings.
There is no transparency or documentation of the process nor its effects which makes it difficult to control or know if it is correct (as it stands it is not).
Danger, Danger Will Robinson! Do not use!
Not much else can be said until Apple corrects this and stops misleading its users into thinking they (Apple) are actually providing a solution. In reality they have created a massive problem.
I pray that someone has finally been listening and this gets fixed in Snow Leopard.

Need to batch convert PDF to RTF while maintaining original folder structure

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I need a way to batch convert PDF files to RTF while maintaining the original folder structure. So for instance, I might get a set of interview transcripts that were conducted with members of 1000 randomly selected households in 3 different cities. Something like this, where the words in all caps are folder names:
BOSTON
       HH1001
            PERSON-1A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
            PERSON-2A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
       HH1002
            PERSON-1A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
            PERSON-2A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
            PERSON-1C
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
DETROIT
       HH2001
            PERSON-1A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
            PERSON-2A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
       HH2002
            PERSON-1A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf
            PERSON-2A
                    Interview1.pdf
                    Interview2.pdf

As u can see, the folder structure can get quite complicated and it's important to keep it the same. Is there any way I can batch convert without having to open all 1000 files at once (which would crash the computer) or without having to add each subfolder to the Export Multiple Files window?
I also tried saving the original folders and files in a portfolio and then converting the portfolio, but that puts all the converted files in a single folder.

For the output location choose 'Same Folder as Original(s)'
Yes, I've done that many times. It doesn't put them in the correct folder structure, it just puts all the new files in the highest-level folder.

Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.

Hi Todd,
Please refer to this link:
paper layout & web layout
As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
Without free hand creating the sizing?

Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.
