Creating Contacts PDF

I have been creating a PDF file of a Contacts Group in the Print funtion for many OS10 renditions. In Mountain Lion, I can still create a PDF of a Contacts group, but the resulting list is not in the Group's alphabetical order but put in a random order. It does contain all the info requested but doesn't follow the order that the Group displays. I have tried it on two of my Macs and they both randomize the same list differently but still out of displayed and alphabetic order. It appears to put the most recent additions to the group at the bottom which makes me think it's putting them in some kind of date order. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks!

Yes, it needs some fixing. Print it as a "Pocket Address Book" and it will be alpha.

How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
What am I leaving out of the workflow?

There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

Automator: How to create a PDF contact sheet?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a PDF from multiple images in automator. The PDF should contain:
First Page: A contact sheet with all images
Following pages: One page for each image
Any idea how to achieve this? I don't even get the contact sheet working – it always results in a blank PDF.
Kind regards
Jan

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the intructions in the link don't work (did it exactly like this -> result is an empty PDF). I learned now from other posts that this is a Mavericks specific issue, which seems to be unsolved.
Apart from this: Do you think my request is solvable at all? Because the output of the contact sheet module would be the contact sheet iteslf (if it worked). I can't use this to create the full sized PDF pages, right?

Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

Hello
When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.

You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit. Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge.
In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF. See images below.
Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

How can I create a PDF with cad layers visible and switchable?

I am producing CAD drawings in Vectorworks 2013 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can export these as Autocad .dwg files and read them in E-Drawings viewer but do not have Autocad. I want to create a PDF of a drawing for a client to use which will display Vectorworks classes (Autocad layers) and they will be able to turn these classes (layers) on and off. I understand the client has received such files from other parties (probably using Autocad).

Hi steffenoberlaender,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and MS Office are you using.
Try exporting any other word file to PDF and check if this could be a document specific issue.
If possible, share both the sample word and PDF file with me via email so that I can check at my end.
I have sent you a private message with my contact ID details.

Create accessible pdf from html page

Hello,
I am trying to create a 508 compliant Pdf from a simple HTML page using the HTML to Pdf feature in Livecycle ES4 server. I was able to configure the service to generate tabbed Pdf, but the created Pdf has multiple accessibility issues.
Some of the issues encountered are: incorrect tab order, some links are not tabbable while others are, link text is being read “Blank”, some text is skipped while tabbing, missing alt text for images, page being rendered in the responsive(mobile) view, etc.
I have tried both the available approaches, of 1) providing a URL to create the PDF, and 2) to send the html document as a zipped file, with same results.
Attached is a sample PDF generated from a simple HTML page I created for demo.
My questions are:
Is it possible to generate 508 compliant (accessible) Pdf documents using Html to Pdf service from Pdf Generator? If yes, which settings might I be missing?
Is there any other service provided by Adobe Livecycle Server that can generate 508 compliant Pdf documents from a 508 compliant HTML page?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Anup

I don't think it's possible to do this using a standard JavaScript script in Acrobat, since the newDoc function doesn't work with URLs.
The only option I can think of is to use an external automator that will call the Create PDF From Web Page dialog, paste the address from a file, and after the PDF file is created will continue to the next line.
I might be able to create such a tool for you. If you're interested, contact me by email (click my username for the address) or PM.

Adobe Bridge CS6 - Contact.pdf document?

Hi There,
I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 and am attempting to create a multi photograph contact.pdf sheet to upload to a web site. The tutorial instructs me to select the pictures - done, then window - workspace and output. However once I get to that point there is no facility for output. The tutorial does sugest that if output is not diplayed, then to go to Ctrl. K and select it from the start up script. Guess what! Nothing there to help me.
Any one got any ideas please?

First try a restart of Bridge holding down control key and from the menu choose reset preferences.
Try again. If no luck double check in Bridge preferences start up scripts. Inhere should be a script called Adobe Output Module and it should have a checkmark in front.
If no start up script at all consider first to check for latest updates and maybe un install of Photoshop CS6 (includes Bridge CS 6) using the official uninstaller in PSCS6 and a reinstall.
Be sure to have your serial number at hand and back up important settings for security. When you don't select to remove the photoshop settings file it should reinstall with your same custom settings. Then run the updater and try again.

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 prof which came bundled with ScanSnap.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I have been trying to 'Create pdf from file'.
Adobe won't load an RTF file, a Pages file or a Word file.
It tells me to use the source application and print with Adobe PDF. When I try to do this I get the message
Printer Ready
You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
I have tried software update but Apple has not supplied an update for the Adobe printer.
SO, what software do I need and where do I find it, to make Acrobat usable?

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

Abobe X Pro needs "additional files to create a pdf..."

Error message:
Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
1) just an 'ole lady here - on a pc - not a system administrator (though I think have admin rights in windows 7).
The details:
a) had a lenovo small format pc running XP - Acrobat X Pro worked fine on this pc, could create pdfs and fillable forms etc.
b) Just bought a used pc with Windows 7 Enterprise - after a week of issues - duh - I realized X Pro was not working on the new(used) pc, except to let me open a pdf, and even add a text box, or sign or line out a change in a pdf. - that is all it will let me do..
c) I had a purchased CD of Adobe Pro Standard. In 2012, I was able to upgrade it to Adobe X Pro 10, while still on XP, with a digital download, for which I have the registration key.
The X Pro version showing this morning was 10.1.12 (before I uninstalled it, and I assume after various updates).
I've also tried repairing the installation - and selecting the function I need PDFMaker (to work with MS Word) -
I have uninstalled Adobe, and re-installed it, from my old downloaded file the version is 10.0.0
Finally read that I should have deactivated it on the old pc.
Called Support, and they gave me an all new, full version (download) of Adobe X Pro at 5 pm est, and a NEW S/N.
I uninstalled, the old version, ran ccleaner, restarted the pc, installed the new X Pro 10.0.0, used the new s/n and still cannot use Adobe.
Still can't, create a pdf, combine files from word or create a form from a word doc - nada. Also, do not seem to have Adobe Reader anywhere on this pc, either (a good thing from what I've read).
When I was on XP I did not have this problem. Now that I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, I have the problem.
(I am using MS Office 2003 and do plan to update to 2010. Using Google Apps for Work, small business working from home, did not like Office 365 since I am on a MiFi hotspot for internet (country living))
Maybe all of this was more information than you'd want or need... just was not sure what is is causing the conflict/problem.
Feeling out of my depth with this and really need some guidance / help / specific steps to take - Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually, it's a breath of fresh air getting all of the info needed to help.
But now the bad news. You're in the forum for Adobe Reader, but you want to post in the Acrobat forum from the sounds of it (many more pro's there for your product).
Here's a link and good luck. Acrobat

Trouble creating a PDF/x-3:2002 in Indesign 6

I am trying to create a pdf for Blurb.com (book printing online). I am using their plugin for Indesign which provides their specs for proper layout. I designed the book, got my client's approval and now that it's time to creat the pdf it holds up. When looking at background tasks I was able to get to 18% done last week but now it's not showing any progress. I've tried their pdf settings as well as PDF/x-3:2002 which they say will also work but I get the same results. I've checked my images and made them as small as possible. I've worked with them on the problem and after a week they said it's not their problem and I should contact Indesign. I am desperate here because my client is waiting for her books and is getting impatient. Thank you.

This is the link to the plugin for Indesign users
http://www.blurb.com/indesign-plugin
I am checking your suggestion now to see if it's my file or their settings. So far I was able to create the pdf/x-4. Now I'm looking up the transparency flattening. Just found the instructions and I'm going to do that then check the pdf according to Blurb's instructions.

Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

Okay I found the solution.

docs.oracle.com/cd/B34956_01/current/acrobat/120hztig.pdf
Repeat Run --3. Create a physical location with customer account site level Address (ie, Specific contact address details). Note down x_location_id value
GET "x_party_id: " from "--8. Create a relation cont-org using party_id from step 7 and party_id from step 2"
Now Run "--4. Create a party site using party_id from step 2 and location_id from step 3" passing "x_party_id" from Step 8 & x_location_id from Step 3
Commit the changes and you will able to populate the account site specific contact person details
