Creating PDF in Lotus Notes (8.5.3) using XI (11.0.06)

I used to have Acrobat X Standard and I could create PDF portfolios from emails within Lotus notes (8.5.3). After upgrading to XI Pro, I seem to have lost this functionality. Furthermore, when I try to 'print' an email to create a PDF I get a print error from Lotus Notes.
Printing to an actual printer or printing to a cheap Acrobat alternative that my company installs on all computers works fine.
I bought XI Pro to use Actions, so I am not overly concerned about this issue, but am curious if anyone else is getting similar issues?

Experts, does anyone had similiar problem?

Creating appointments in Lotus Notes calendar

Hello,
Does anybody know if SAP can create appointments in the Lotus Notes calendar?
The clients uses the SAP ESS Leave Request application.
As soon as the request is approved, an appointment should get created in the Lotus Notes calendar.
Is this possible?
If yes, which are the prerequisites?
Thanks for all your input!
Kr,
Werner

Hi Werner,
if I understood you right, you need a way to create appointments in the Lotus Notes Calendar out of SAP (Backend or Portal) ?
So then Atlantic is not the right solution because it's the other way round.
As Alan mentioned there is no standard solution for this requirement (Business Package or something else) and it's not easy but we've done this in several projects.
There are several solutions possible, it depends on your requirements and on your system landscape:
One way is to use an XI/PI-Environment to synchronise the calendar-data.
Another way is to solve it via a 3rd party Solution. Then you can create also an UI e.g. in the portal so that a user can see his Notes Calendar and the Calendars of his colleagues to proof how many persons are already away in this time before he creates a leave request. Of course the appointment is also created in the Notes-Calendar if the request is approved.
If you need more information just write to: tkniewel at conet.de

Developing an Add-in for Adobe Reader to insert the PDF into Lotus Notes

Hi
We currently have a document management solution in MS Word & Excel, where by you can open/create a document click a button that is linked to a macro and it brings a Document Management screen up and allows you to save the file into a new Lotus Notes Document.
We are now trying to get the same functionality into Adobe Reader, whereby a user can open a PDF they have on their PC and then go to a menu item and it will perform similar function to our macro/VB that we have setup in MS Word & Excel.
Does anyone know of anyone who has developed such an idea or could point me in the right direction of where to start developing as I have never developed any add-in/plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
This needs to be done really in Visual Basic, but any help would be great
Thanks
Ian

You start by downloading the Acrobat SDK.
In the SDK is information about developing a plugin for Reader, which will require you to obtain a license from Adobe. Submit the necessary paperwork to see if you are approved. It doesn’t make much sense to start development if you don’t get approval.
Once approved, you will want a copy of Adobe Acrobat for development as it’s easier than developing with Reader.
Plugins are developed in C/C++ and there are samples in the SDK.

Unable to create PDF - file could not be printed

I am having a problem with a user who is unable to create a pdf using Adobe Standard 8
The error messages is as follows:
your file could not be printed due to an error on adobe pdf on Ne 04
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f97/bsucards/584872418744_adobe.jpg
I have tried to uninstall Adobe Standard 8 and reinstall and do all the updates
I have uninstalled Adobe Reader 9 and downgraded it to Adobe Reader 8
I have reinstalled Office XP
I have created a new profile for this user
The only way I can get it to work is to make the user an admin, which is not an option. We have other users in the company using this version of Adobe without any problems

Hi I dont think this is a permissions issue I just created a new WINDOWS PROFILE this fixed the issue the user already was a admin on the computer. The issue was trying to save/print any file to PDF to either network or local to computer. Once the new profile was made I was able to test and could once again create pdf files. There must have been something in the old profile causing the issue and the new profile fixed the issue it was a last thing to to try as had tried everything I could think of.

Can I create pdfs that can not be copied?

I want to create pdf's that can not be copied by the viewer. Is this possible? Thank you in advance. Linda

No, it isn't.

Sync Palm With Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Using EasySync 4.2.7: Calendar does not show location

I have a Garmin iQue3600, which is basically a Palm III with a GPS built in. I could sync my Outlook 2007 contacts and calendar flawlessly. (Palm Sync 6.0.1, Palm Desktop 4.1.4). Company was purchased, now we are using Lotus Notes 8.5.1. No native Palm support, so I tried EasySync 4.2.7. This actually works pretty well, except that the calendar entries do not sync the location of the meeting; this is rather important to me.
Is there a setting somewhere that can fix this? Years ago I used Intellisync to do this, but that company is gone now.
Someone suggested Companionlink, but the on-line reviews for that product are pretty bad.
Thank you.

Lisa,
Welcome to the Palm forums and thanks for that great feedback!

Adobe Create pdf icon does not appear in Firefox 36.0.1

I am using Windows 10 TP and have used Adobe Acrobat XI with Firefox for months now and have been able to click on the Adobe Icon on the FIrefox toolbar to convert web pages into an Acrobat file. In the last couple of weeks this icon has disappered but the following items still exist:-
1. Under Options/Applications Portable Document Format (PDF) is still set to Use Adobe Acrobat (default)
2. In the list of Add-ons I still have an entry Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32. This is the Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefoc and Netscape.
3. I have uninstalled ALL add-ons ansd re-installed but that does not resolve the problem
4. I have uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it again but that does not resolve the problem
Can you please offer any suggestions to resolve this problem?

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

Create PDF which does not allow to print

My customer would like to use smartform HR_ESS_PAYSLIP_TO_PDF. The requirement is to convert the payslip to PDF, not allow to print the PDF.
The <b>no print</b> information should be included in the document itself.
I know this is generally possible because there a converters which have these option, e.g. http://www.abxzone.com/abx_reviews/paragon6/article_p3.html see "security ranging".
How can I set this up using smartforms?
Kind regards
Marcus

HI Paulo,
Perhaps the Preview preference file is corrupted after the upgrade.
Delete this file.
com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
See if that makes a difference.
Also, check the manufacture web site for your printer and see if there are any updates available for your printer model for compatibility with 10.6. That could be part of the problem.
Some users are having luck with reinstalling the software that originally came with their printers. If you do not have the disk, go to the web site and download the drivers for 10.5. They might work.

Create PDF portfolios - Portfolios not listed under Create menu

Upon purchase of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, I was able to download PDF Portfolio templates.
Under help file, instructions say to go to Create and select Portfolios.
No Portfolio option is listed in the Create menu.
How can I correct this?

Hi Sue,
Unfortunately, the PDF Portfolios feature is only available in Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Help | Create and customize PDF Portfolios

Firefox 19.0 PDF data is not showing when we use the Preview in firefox option.

I am using FireFox 19.0 Version. In my application, I create the adobe PDF and it should shows on click on link button. On previous version it was working. but in 19.0 it is not working.
In Firefox option i am using preview in firefox option to show the PDF on browser tab.
Please suggest how can i resolve this problem.

These solutions to not help our viewers who also have this problem. All they know is the pdf is not displaying correctly and naturally assume there is something wrong with the pdf.
This function should be disabled until it reliably displays pdfs.

Create PDF not installed

I am upgrading my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, 32 bit. Because of driver problems I had to do a full install of Windows 7 operating system, and reinstall Acrobat 8. The Acrobat Create PDF links were not installed in Outlook and Word, and a PDF printer was not installed. I haven't checked the other applications. These links were available in Vista and have been installed with another laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit, installed. I customized the installation, but only omitted some of the language support.
I have reinstalled Acrobat 8 and restarted the computer. Any suggestions.

In addition to what Michael said, keep in mind that different versions of Office also require different Acrobat versions/ add-ins. Office 2007 will require Acrobat 9, Office 2010 and above Acrobat X even.

Lotus Notes - email no longer converting

I am no longer able to successfully create pdfs (from either individual emails or folders) using the Acrobat toolbar button or the Acrobat choices added to the dropdown menu. All I receive now is "failed to convert" messages with no real information.
IT assures me that there have been no changes in Lotus Notes at our organization and I do not see anything from Adobe updates that could cause the problem.
I can still print choosing Adobe PDF as my printer, but this does not preserve attachments, a critical requirement for me.
Please help. This was an excellent way for me to archive and search my email.
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.latest
Windows XP
Lotus Notes 6.5

There are no possible triggers that I know of. I was archiving my email once a month, give or take a week, so the timeframe for potential unwanted changes is long.
During that time I know there were Adobe product updates for my CS3 which I allowed. Also, our IT group can push out software updates remotely for Lotus Notes and other software, so all I have is their assurance that nothing changed.
This issue is happening for all mail items, for both the inbox and my user created folders.
Our Lotus Notes administrators will not support non-Notes software and our on-site IT was essentially out of ideas after the reinstallation did not solve anything.
I did find a non-Adobe workaround to export my email to Thunderbird (portable version) so I can at least have a way to archive and get my email off the system and server, but the Acrobat archive was much more efficient.

PDFmaker update Lotus notes 8.5.2

Information for anyone using PDFMAKER and lotus notes we use corp version of lotus 6.5 and then 8.0 recently converted to 8.5.2. I have always used pdfmaker to conver email to pdf for years and when we upgraded it broke. Two key things to get it to work again
Upgrade to Adobe 9.1 or higher
Here's how I've done it:
Lotus Notes 8.5 is supported since Adobe Acrobat 9, but it actually works only since 9.1.0.
Adobe Acrobat 7 has no Lotus Notes plugin, Adobe Acrobat 8 is supporting only Lotus Notes 5 - 7.
So, if any user wants to create PDFs out of Notes documents using PDFMaker, Adobe Acobat 9.1 or higher must be installed on the machine AFTER Lotus Notes 8.5 has been installed.
The following modifications are done to the Lotus Notes 8.5 installation:
Added files to C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes:
AdobePDFMToolbarInst.dll
ndbPDFML.dll
Added notes.ini entries:
AddInMenus=C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~1.0\PDFMaker\Mail\LOTUSN~1\PDFMLO~1.DLL
AdobePDFMInst=1
EXTMGR_ADDINS=AdobePDFMToolbarInst
One thing to note
AddInMenus=C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~1.0\PDFMaker\Mail\LOTUSN~1\PDFMLO~1.DLL
this might change to
AddInMenus=C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~2.0\PDFMaker\Mail\LOTUSN~1\PDFMLO~1.DLL
to verify the correct setting from the dos prompt
use dir/w to verify the correct path
made these changes and now I am back in business hope this helps anyone else who might be struggling with loosing this great functionality .
One other thing my Icons are viewable in lotus notes it works just like it did before Icons trigger and pdf is created happy camper here

Exactly same issue here. Issue started after Mac OS X 10.7.2 update.
Lotus Notes works fine, but menus in menu bar remains unresponsive.
Updates to Lotus Notes 8.5.2 FP4 but did not solve the issue.
If anyone has an idea to fix this without reinstalling the complete software, it will be welcome.
