Creating PDF's with a watermark / template

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to create PDF Payslips from the system. There is a standard report for converting the spool output of a payslip program to adobe PDF which solves most of the issue however there also needs to be a background image which represents what is currently on the preprinted stationary - items such as company logo, boxes for amounts etc. The question is can the image be set as a watermark for the PDF and then the text data from SAP is used to "over write" it.
The other approach is to merge one PDF with another perhaps using a 3rd party tool.
Any insights to this would be greatly appreciated - please shout if you need more information.
Kind regards,
Dannyboy

I don't know that you'll be able to use a watermark like that, though I've never tried. What kind of capabilities do your printers have? We use templates stored on the printer for stuff like that. The template is called via print control and the template and OTF/PDF data are merged at print time.

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

Hi everybody,
I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
Here's one of the link that don't work
http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

Can't create PDF files with adobe acrobat professional 8 on windows 7

I running acrobat Professional 8 on Windows 7 64bit. I can only create PDF files while logged on as administrator. I tried adding the user to the Administrators group, but still have the same problem. The system hangs right after adobe promts me for the file name, I provide the file name click save and it hangs when displaying the "printing message'
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fernando

Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

Unable to create PDF/A with PDF from InDesign

Hello,
I'm trying to create PDF/A document from InDesign CS4 with Adobe Acrobat 9.
I create my PDF from InDesign (I create a tagged PDF).
For each document create from InDesign, I receive this message from the Preeflight "Convert to PDF/A (sRGB)" of Acrobat.
PDF document is not compliant with PDF/A-1a (2005)
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
Thank for your help.
Cyril.

Hi graffiti,
let me clarify my question. Indesign doesn't export to PDF/A1a.
Acrobat has to convert a tagged PDF 1.5 document generated by indesign to PDF/A1a.
If anyone could explain the errors to me:
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
...this would also be greatly appreciated so i can narrow my search.
Since you guys are the PDF experts and Acrobat does the conversion i believe this forum is the place to find answers.
(Also the problem has already been presented on the indesign-forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1959226#1959226 where the advise was to pose the question here)

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?

Printing PDF's from Autocad, but Unable to create PDF's with layers

I need to create PDF's where I can layer voice, data, and wireless coverage areas on seperate layers, but but have been unable to figure out how to do so. I can export and plot pdf's, but there isn't an option for creating layers, at least that i can find. I have researched and found that there should be some sort of create Adobe PDF button, but no such button seems to exist. I would really appreciate any insight that anyone could give me. Thanks!

Good day,
Do you have Adobe Acrobat X Professional installed? PDFMaker, the Adobe PDF icon you were referring to, will install into AutoCad 2008 and later with Acrobat X Converting via PDFMaker should preserve your layers.
Kind regards,

SharePoint Online - Generate or create PDF documents with content

Hi,
We are in the process of evaluating SharePoint Online for a project that requires to create PDF documents. These documents are kind of reports that can be generated in the system. In case of on-premise we would have created a custom farm solution probably
using some PDF creation DLL to create the document.
However, wanted to know what are the options in SPOnline? The word automation service might not help because in that case we will need to generate a word document first and then convert it to PDF. Also, creation of this word document would again be a question
to answer.
Any suggestion/thoughts?

There is no create a PDF option in SharePoint. (not in on-prem and not in online)
You can print to PDF in most of the Operating systems and/or browsers by default.
And you can of course create a document and save that to PDF (or export to PDF or Print to PDF)
The Word Automation service..... is for Word... as you mention you dont't want to use word.... so that is not an option.
In general ... WHY?
If it is for Locking down the posibilities for a end user who sees the document you can also implement IRM (based on AADRM or just in Word itself)
If it is for publishing... you also need a "source document" and that can be Word.
So without the whole story it is difficult to advice.... In general if you want to create PDF document and edit it right from PDF and also don't want to use the Office suite, maybe a solution of Adobe like: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html

Transaction SFP: ADS can create PDF documents with imbedded XML ?

Hello,
Reading through the documentation of the integration of SAP and Adobe interactive forms, I somehow have the impression this is possible, but I do not find a hint how do it.
I want to create PDF documents which should be 'finished' outside SAP. Is it possible to create a PDF document which contains not encrypted text (XML-stings), which can be parsed and replaced.
Any idea is very much appreciated,

Printing/creating PDF problems with Mac OS 10.6.4 and word v.X

In my job at university I use Word 2003 (version 10) in my new iMac. Since I updated to MacOS 10.6.4 I have problems with the printing menu. That means that I can not print or convert to PDF or even generate a preview. When trying to print or obtain a preview, word freezes and I have to force quit. When trying to generate a pdf file it does, but the generated file is unreadable (it says is damaged) and word freezes again. I have played with the preferences, change user and it didn't help. I checked the Font Book and indeed they were many duplicated fonts. I sorted them out, but the problem persists. With very short files it works, but with longer ones word invariably crashes when trying to print or make a pdf. I took one long .doc file and I copied into my laptop (MacBook pro, 2008) that was running 10.6.3. I printed it and converted to pdf; no problems at all. Then, for the sake of knowledge, I updated the system to 10.4.6 and then I couldn't print or create a pdf with the very same file, so it seems that certainly the update is reponsible. So now I know cause but I can not print from any of my computers. To me convert to pdf is an important functionality so I would appreciate any help. I have some ideas: reinstall Office 2003? reinstall 10.6 from the disk (and not update)? use Time Machine to restore the system as it was before the update?
I didn't detect problems in Office 2004, or any other programs in my macs. Unfortunately, I need Office 2003 for compatibility with some other software. Thanks in advance!

I updated my MBP to 10.6.4 last night and today I was printing fine from Word 2008 (v12.2.5). I haven't used Office vX since Tiger so I cannot comment on its stability with the latest update. But I suggest that if you haven't done so already, try opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions on the 10.6.4 partition. Once this has completed I also suggest that you reset the printing system, restart your Mac and then add your printer queues again.
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
