Creation of PDF Files
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I would like to utilize this program similar to a third party PDF Creator program that I have that is starting to experience issues. Does Adobe Acrobat 9 or subsequent versions allow for the creation of a PDF file by combining print jobs into one file before creating the actual file? I know you can create individual files from each of the sources (Word, Excel, etc.) and then merge but that is more work than is needed. Would just like to combine print jobs and then save as one file.
Steve's method is probably the best. There are ways to use Distiller to combine print jobs. I think it required creating customized postscript startup files, but it has been ages since I have seen any posts on how to do this. [Probably going back to Acrobat 3 or 4]. Aandi Inston who used to participate regularly would have been able to tell you how to do this in a flash [no pun intended].
Combining PDFs is the easiest way to do what you want. You could probably create a script that would combine all of the pdfs sitting in a folder if that would make things easier.

Creation of pdf-files from a VBA programming of a database application
In a kind of form letter practice through a modular programming in Microsoft Access individual invoices created as PDF files shall be sent as serial e-mails.
Example: After a seminar, for example 50 people shall receive individual invoices with invoice number and the respective address.
After creation we don’t want the pdf-documents to be displayed on the screen. It should be automatically transferred through our MS-Access-programming to Outlook for serial e-mails.
The functionality of the automation is positioned in a VBA module (Visual Basic for Application) of a MS Access form.
At this point Acrobat PDF should be controlled by MS-Access VBA programming (and not manually by the user).
To implement such an automatic, we need a documentation of the interfaces for the later in the text referred Acrobat objects, which can be addressed in the MS-Access VBA Programming.
References in Microsoft Access:
Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library
Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library
Acrobat Distiller
Objects according to Microsoft Access Object Browser:
AcroApp
AcroAVDoc
AcroAXDoc
AcrobatAccessLib
ACRODISTXLib
AcroHiliteList
AcroPDDoc
AcroPoint
AcroRect
AcroTime
Among the listed objects and their properties and methods, we need a comprehensive description.
Are there special *. DLL or *. chm or *. hlp - files
which can be addressed by MS-Access directly to automatically generate PDF files?Google the following:
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\
I have done this using a Report I designed in MS Access, you basically print to the 'ADOBE PDF' printer. No need to use any of the References you listed.
I loop thru a recordset of Customer IDs and generate my reports. I do the Outlook piece after I have generated the pdf files.
My Access report has no RecordSet, it is set on the fly, using the following:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = sqlReport
End Sub
sample code:
sub genReports
Dim lRC
Dim sReg
Dim emailPath As String
Dim accessPath As String
Dim strKey As String
Dim rsCust As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsRecs As New ADODB.Recordset
emailPath = currentproject.path & "\email\"
accessPath = SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir)
accessPath = accessPath & "MSACCESS.EXE"
strKey = "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\"
Set sReg = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
'PrinterJobControl key
lRC = sReg.CreateKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKey)
'query to get Customer IDs
rsCust.Open "qryReportCust", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic
Do Until rsCust.EOF
strCust =rsCust!CustID
'sqlReport is a function that uses CustID as parameter

Server side creation of pdf files for users
Im looking for a way for users of my website to save their data as a .pdf file on their hard drive. I want to be able to do this seemlessly for them on my end and not require them to have a client-side .pdf creator like PrimoPdf of something similar.
Is there a way to do server-side pdf file creation for my users?
Thanks!
PS: This is a Java website and a linux server.You could utilize Apche FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) project for that purpose.
In my company we've used that to convert IBM Lotus Notes documents into PDF via some XML/XSL intermediate layer.
On the other hand - while in theory you could run Acrobat Pro on your server in embedded mode and call that server via some layer even from Java clients - I think that is not allowed by Adobe Acrobat Pro license. If you could run it embedded on your server - then you could try to prepare your specific plugins for it with Acrobat SDK and then you'll achieve what you need in required PDF creation. -
An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
GOOD NEWS
I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
(1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
(2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
(3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
(4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
(5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
(6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
(7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
(8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
(9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
(10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
DON'T USE PDFWRITER
The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
Case 3: Acrobat 3
Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.
- DovYou're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server
I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?
Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.

I need to convert large pages files, a book, into embedded font pdf files for submitting to a printer.
is acrobat distiller needed? is it a part of acrobat? do I need the pro version? thanks so much. I am very new to this.Depends upon your version of Mac OS. And whether you have Acrobat 9.2.0. Up to X.5.8 Yes. And you would have to use the AdobePDF Printer to actually create the PDF's.
For Snow Leopard, no. There is this article although on an InDesign site, Click here. It relates to the proper method of creating PDF's from Acrobat with Acrobat 9.2.0 and Snow Leopard (X.6.x) -

PDF file creation & Markup Management
Hi,
I need to generate automatic pdf files from native application (for ex., from any CAD Software) in SAP. How to do it.
Please also give some details about markup management in SAP.
Regards,
MadhuHi,
in addition to that, there is also the SAP conversion server as a part of SAP PLM. This is a generic platform, that provides capabilities to start batch programs for conversion on a dedicated server in the background for example after a status change or a check-in.
These batch programs are usully delivered ready to use by the CAD Integration partners like Cideon (for Autodesk) or Cenit (for Dassault), but you could also write an own MS-DOS batch or VB Script.
So via the CAD Direct integration the CAD original files are then saved in SAP via the KPRO and the DMS, and the viewables (JT or PDF) are then generated automatically after check-in.
For Markup of PDF files via the built in Viewer please have a look at note 610837. Other formats, which are supported by the viewer, can be redlined directly.
Best regards,
Martin

Tamper proof or noneditable PDF file creation from smartforms.
Experts,
We have requirement to create PDF file from smartforms that should be tamper proof.
As we know there any many PDF to word convertors tools are in market.
So PDF file should not be copied and not converted in word (should be tamper proof and non-editable).
So do we have solution with in SAP only to achieve above requirement ?
Please take your time answering, I'm not the kind of person that demands an answer really quickly, because that would be a bit rude.
Message was edited by: Matthew Billingham - "hurry up" text replaced.Dear Jelena,
True PDF is non-editable, but we can copy PDF content or even we can use tool to convert into word/docx format. for basically we are using information.
Orignal source will never change.
Let me explain you example.
Let say i have converted invoice (smartform) into PDF and send to X person.
Now X person can convert PDF into word format.
X person did some changes in word and converted back to PDF (miss use of orignal data/PDF file).
So requirement is that X person should not copy PDF content (Ctrl + C) and X person should be restrcited from converting to word.
Acrobat/Adobe has this feature but this is external (need to use some third pary tool)
Can this requirement accomplished within SAP only or include some Adobe package (class & method in SAP ). -

Anyone had such problems before? Just don't tell me this cursed device demands a sacrifice from freshly produced virgin paper sheets to chew on.
Other non-pdf documents print succesfully.just got hit with thie same error on my canon printer, and I was told I should try reinstalling the printer (not sure if that's meant for the driver or the actual printer in CUPS, but I intend to try both...

Viewing attachments to PDF files in Preview
Hi all,
Sometimes files are attached to PDFs so that the attached file (spreadsheet, movie, whatever) comes along with the PDF. It's easy to see the attached files using Acrobat Reader (you click on the paperclip icon), but I can't figure out how to see them in Preview. Is this possible? Please note that I am talking about attachments within PDF files, not PDFs attached to emails!
Thanks in advance,
wrathkegI have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour. -
Writing a java program for generating .pdf file with the data of MS-Excel .
Hi all,
My object is write a java program so tht...it'll generate the .pdf file after retriving the data from MS-Excel file.
I used POI HSSF to read the data from MS-Excel and used iText to generate .pdf file:
My Program is:

The issues i'm facing are:
When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...
