Creating greyscale PDF's from coloured documents?

When creating a Microsoft Publisher document (2003 to 2014 versions) to create a greyscales PDF by selecting Print: Adobe PDF AND having selected print as BLACK & WHITE, some clipart, shapes, lines and wordart remain in colour. Is there a way to stop this from happening as I required everything to be greyscales?
If a go to Acrobat Adobe Pro X to create the PDF that way, there are no obvious options re: selecting create as black & white. Help?

Problem sorted. I tried again in Pub 2014 and it worked

Automate creating single PDF file from multiple documents

Hi everyone ! I am testing the Adobe XI version, especially because I need it for a very specific function.I haven't found it yet, maybe you guys can help ?
Basically, I need to make a user friendly system, that in one click will create a single PDF document from multiple files :
To be more precise : I have in a folder on the network 25 different documents (Word and PDF mainly). Some of these documents change weekly. What I need as an end result is a single PDF, that combines these 25 ones in a specific order, and the tricky part is I need to automate this so that someone with absolutely no knowledge of Acrobat can perform this task, with just a click.
I have found of course the procedure to manually build such a combined PDF, but as you can see it does not fulfil my needs.
So that's it, as simple as that
As a bonus question : I am still struggling with the construction of these documents : in the Word documents I use, there are both internal links within the document, and links between the documents (pointing to other Word files, or PDF files). I keep losing those links when I combine, is there something I am missing ?
Second bonus question : I would like to have multiple levels of signets, but for some reason all my signets are at the same hierarchical level. Anything I am doing wrong ?
A free electronic doughnut for anyone giving me a hint !

When you combine you have many PDFs together in one, new PDF. Your orignal links are from one specific file to another specific file. A combine does not change the link in the original file. So the link is now from the PDFcombined to the second specific file. However, "second specific file" won't be present - so, "broken link".
Be well...

Creating a PDF form from a docx or xlsx

Hello,
Pulling my hair out over here... Can you help me out?
I am trying to create a PDF form from either a word or an excel file.
When I choose File > Create > PDF Form, I get the dialouge box asking to use either a file or scan from paper. Choosing file, then hitting next shows the choice of current document or browse for file. I browse for file, find my docx file, but it shaded out. Docx or xlsx does not appear in the "show" drop down below, which suggests that this function doesn't support these formats. HUH?
I have read & watched the tutorials linked below, both of which clearly say Word and Excel are supported.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSB3F26303-0F1D-494a-BC55-7BF7F6684B4D.html
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-x/getting-started-creating-simple-forms/
Then I noticed a difference in the create window from the video, to my version...
The video says "(PDF, Word, Excel or other file format)":
My pop-up says ONLY PDF:
Whats going on?
I am using:
MAC OSX 10.7.4
Office 2011 MAC
Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3
Only way I can create a Form from Word files is to first print it to PDF, then use the form wizard on the PDF file... Which seems to have POOR results in auto-recognizing fields.
PLEASE HELP Adobe!
Thanks.

I just got Acrobat X for my mac, for a class. I am SO frustrated. Almost everything in the class focuses on PDFMaker options. The 'save as adobe pdf' or save as pdf options have zero functionality. So I now own PDF software that doesn't really function on a MAC, and have to go to a windows machine. I keep reading that it is a Microsoft problem, but I don't know how that can be when the software I thought I bought is this fancy PDF software that converts everything!!
I asked a tech today if there were 'any' adobe work-arounds for this and basically the answer is to save PDF with no attribute functionality. Period.

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.

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.

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

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!

Creating a PDF report from a Form

Hi all,
Is it possible to create a PDF REPORT from a table based Form?
Thanks,

You can NOT use FOP and the BI Publisher RTF editor to make templates for PDF output.. You need an XML style sheet editor to format the report layouts..: http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

Possible to create multiple pdf files from links?

In Acrobat X Pro, is there a way to apply the option "create pdf file from link" to several links on the same website at once?.thanks

About the closest you can get is to use the Tools > Document Processing > Web Capture > Append all links on page command, which will traverse the links and append them to your existing PDF that has been captured from a web site.
