Creating PDF in Javascript in Adobe DC?

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody knows if creating a PDF in Javascript will get any easier in Adobe DC?
I need to generate a report in Javascript.
- The Report object doesn't give me enough control over formatting.
- external data objects don't allow me to save the file automatically
- If I generate a PDF, I have to put the report data in a text field. I can't just write text to a PDF.
So is this going to improve in the new DC SDK, or is it more of the same?
Thanks.

You can create a document, add text fields, fill the fields, and flatten the form fields.

Problem in creating PDF of Website using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.

I am trying to create PDF file of full website using "Create PDF from Web Page..." option, in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.
It is creating PDF but the page alignments/text/images alignments are lost and doesn't look good.
Can any one help to create the PDF same as webpage look and feel.
Thanks.

Acrobat 8's HTML->PDF engine is quite old and doesn't work well with modern web pages. I'd recommend trying the same page using Acrobat X (trial available) where the engine has been replaced and modernized.

MS Outlook 2010 Add in Create pdf - does not create pdf of draft emails- Adobe Acrobat Pro X

In MS Outlook 2010 Add in Create pdf- does not create pdf of draft emails- this maybe the case, but just wanted to make sure this is normal for the program- though I guess one can print as an Adobe pdf but it does not maintain the hyperlinks of email addresses etc. the functionality is compromised in a print vs create a pdf.

Here's a workaround by the team:
Right click on the message from Explorer list view or folder view and chose the option to convert to PDF.

Create PDF or Print to Adobe PDF?

I have several Word and Publisher documents that I use as templates. I load them into Publisher or Word and then slightly adjust them (change names dates etc) before creating a pdf..
In the past I've almost always made the pdf by using the print dialog to send the job through the Adobe PDF printer, but seeing that there was a menu option in Acrobat X Pro to "Create PDF" I tried that.
Of course it worked fine but asked me to save the file before it could create the pdf.
As the file is a template I don't want to keep overwriting it when using the menu "Create PDF" option so I guess the question is - in this instance - is using the print dialog the best way for me to create my pdf's from my templates so that I'm not prompted to overwrite the original file?

OK one last question regarding PDF jpg image output quality...
I've printed two examples one through the Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting (pdf1)
and (pdf2) created with "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting.
Both file sizes are pretty much the same and the "quality" of the image is nearly the same except that the pink circle highlighter (in the pdf) is much clearer in the file that was created using "PDF Maker" from MS Publisher menu.
PDF1 below was made with Acrobat X Pro Print dialog - Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting
PDF2 below was made with Acrobat X Pro "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting
Is there a reason for this?

"Create PDF from scanner" causes Adobe 8.1 to crash

Can anyone help us repair Acrobat 8? Or upgrade/reinstall Acrobat 9? We've got WinXP, running SP 3.
When we moved our PC to our new office, the create PDF from scanner function quit working, and now makes the entire program crash. We can still create PDFs other ways, but from scanner isn't working - the "Acrobat Scan" dialog box opens, but after about 5-10 seconds, the crash window comes up. Repairing, updating, uninstalling, and reinstalling the software all fail. Here are the errors for each attempt:
Repairing: "Preparing to install" dialog pops up but immediately disappears and no further action takes place.
Updating: It attempts to install update to 8.1.4, and the process begins, but after 5-10 seconds quits with error dialog "The installation process has encountered a problem. Please choose from the following options:" with 3 choices - run again, stop and start later, or cancel and quit. Selecting "run update again" just causes the error dialog to come up again. The other 2 quit the install entirely.
Uninstalling (via add/remove programs) and reinstalling (via downloading the software from the Order ID site again) both fail independent of each other with the same error: “The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.”
We do a lot of scanning to PDF's ... how can we fix this? There've been no other PC problems whatsoever, otherwise ...
My name is Scott Knowles, tech support guy for my sister's PC ... whose account this is.

The scanner is an all-in-one printer, in perfect working order otherwise. Good idea though - I tried scanning *outside* the Acrobat software ... that proved the scanner software *is* faulty ... I'll repair that. Thank you !

Help to create outlines using javascript in adobe illustrator cs4

Hi,
Please help me to create outlines using javascript in illustrator cs4.
Thanks
Karthik

The textFrame object has a createOutline() method. So if you are wanting to save a version of your file that will not require fonts then loop thru these items in your document… (Loop backwards btw its easier that way) Take a look at the other posts at the top here as others are wanting to do the same thing… If your document is more complex then you may need to iterate all the way though which takes a bit more work…

Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
The page is truncated on the right hand side
Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder ... C:\Windows\Temp and
checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
Any pointers will be gratefully received

Some progess
I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
So to recap
File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.

Trying to reorder text so that an Indesign created PDF reads correctly on Adobe Acrobat's Read Out L

I am trying to get a document to be read in the correct order by Adobe Acrobat's Read Out Loud function. I am using Indesign CS2 and creating a PDF file to be read by Adobe Acrobat Version 7.
I followed directions from sources online. I added all untagged items into the Structure window. I added alternative text to all the graphics fine. And the text areas are tagged as story. I then created a PDF used the Read out loud function, and it reads it all wrong! I then thought that by changing the hierarchy order of the tags that it would follow that list. But no! it still reads the same. I have tried a lot of things to get it to read right. I fiddled around with the acrobat preferences and now it just reads the alternative text?
I need help.

I haven't used it, but I think you need to use Acrobat's TouchUp Reading Order tool. I think that existed in Acrobat 7. Here's the accessibility page for Acrobat 9 on Adobe.com:
http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/acrobat/overview.html
If necessary, it might be necessary to upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro.

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

How do i install adobe create pdf printer

How do I install the printer driver under "Create PDF"? I have Adobe PDF pack

Hello Sara,
I too just read that the PDF desktop printer is going to discontinued, which is also why I bought the Adobe PDF Pak. Could you tell me what product would best fit my needs as well?
I work in advertising and also gather material for training sales associates so am often combining multiple format documents into one file or "handbook". I also convert a lot of pdf documents into either Word or Excel and edit pdf documents.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this.

Can't create pdf files

I puchased a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit preinstalled. I installed by Acrobat 8.0 Standard program and performed all of the updates for windows and acrobat and everything worked fine. I could create pdfs from both the adobe pdf printer and the links in Office 2007 and IE8. 3 months later I had to perform a factory restore on the computer due to an unrelated problem. When I reinstalled Acrobat 8, I lost all the create pdf functionality. When I print to the pdf printer, it shows it in the queue and then it disappears without creating anything. When I use the Office 2007 create links, it hangs on "creating pdf". When I click on the links in IE8 nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

If you start Distiller, then you have to open a file to process. That would be the file you created with the print-to-file. The file may have a prn extension if you did not change it to PS, but it will be a PS file as long as you used the Adobe PDF printer. You can also look at the PS file in a text editor to see what is there and be sure you do not have an Empty job. When you come back, indicate the exact steps you take to get to where you have the broken problem with Distiller.

Create PDF form sancer show "IsCapAllowed"

Why I use create PDF form sancer, my Adobe Pro XI will show "IsCapAllowed", and then show "Runtime Error!" and termination, please support.

Hi ngai_951127,
Are you able to scan using the software included with the scanner, or does this error only occur when you scan from Acrobat? Have you been able to scan from Acrobat previously? What OS and version of Acrobat are you using? So many questions, I know!
Please make sure that your scanner driver is up-to-date and appropriate for the OS that you're using. And, if the error persists, you can try repairing your Acrobat installation.
Let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to Enable IE 10 add-ons to create PDFs?

I have IE 10 64 bit on Windows 8 64bit. I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
In the Manage Add-ons area of IE 10 three add-ons for "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF" for the Helper, for Selection, and Toolbar. which are labelled as disabled. They are marked to 32 bit and 64bit architecture but when I right click on any of the three add-ons the Enable and Disable selections are grayed out. The more information selection reveals this.

How do I enable these add-ons?

Thanks Bill,
Yes, the plug-ins are there in "Manage Add-Ons>Toolbars and Extensions." But, when I select any of the three Add-ons for Adobe Acrobat, the view that follows has the "enabled" and "disabled" buttons grayed out. No matter how many times I select enable, the add-ons remain disabled.
I think the add-ons only work for 32 bit Internet Explorer, not the 64 bit Internet Explorer, or maybe not even for Windows 8 64 bit.

Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
My idea is:
1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
Thanks for your help.
