Bug in PDF and print output with gradients?

I've got a document that makes use of a gradient fill in a table, and I find that (at least for the < 2pt border widths) the border has a thin white line to either side. It shows up readily in both the print and PDF outputs. Is this a known issue? Where can I file a bug for it? I'm using iWork 6.0 with the latest patches applied. This all worked and looked fine under iWork 5.0. :-(

What are you using to view/print the pdf's?
Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader, found
here:
Adobe - Adobe Reader - Download
I'm using Preview. I did check it using Acrobat reader on Windows, and the problem still exists. I suspect there was an error made (by Pages) computing the edge of the rectangle for the gradient. It renders correctly in iWork '05.

Stupid PDF Question: What's the difference between "Save As PDF" and Printing to a PDF "printer"?

Is there a quality difference?
The "Save As" seems to run Distiller, but if I select "Print Document" and select "Adobe PDF" as the printer, it also seems to work OK, although I sometimes get a "Times" font not available, will be replaced by "Times New Roman", even though I can't find any reference to "times" in my book.
Is there an advantage to running Distiller?
Thanks!

> Is there a quality difference?
I'd expect them (as well as print-to-Ps & Distill) to be the same for the same settings.
We print to Ps & Distill, for several reasons, not all of which may apply to you:
More control. Distilling provides menus for everything Adobe lets you control in PDF gen. Print/SaveAs may not (and don't in our environment).
Faster printing (Frame doesn't have to wait for the tps to pdf gen). You can get back to work while a long job renders.
Unequal versions/different platforms. We author on FM8/Unix and Distill on Acro9/PC.
> ... although I sometimes get a "Times" font not available, will be replaced by "Times New Roman", even though I can't find any reference to "times" in my book.
Save the component files to MIF and examine with a plaintext editor. If not found, the font invocation is probably coming in with a text inset, or a graphic of type DWG, DXF, EPS, PDF or possibly SVG.

PDF and RTF output differences

Hi All
I'm having some issues when previewing labels in PDF and RTF output. I have created a RTF template that outputs labels - 5 address lines per label, 2 X 10 labels per page. Each label is contained in a table and each address line is contained in a table row.
- When I preview the RTF output long address lines are not being truncated even though I uncheck the wrap option on the table cell properties.
- When I preview the RTF output I can get 2x10 labels on the page (if no wrapping occurs) but when I preview in PDF I can only get 2x9 labels on the page. I have checked the font size of both the PDF and RTF outputs and they are the same size. It looks like the header and footer is taking up more space on the PDF version compared to the RTF version when I visually inspect the output but I cannot be sure.
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve these issues?
regards
Brad

Always its better to use different templates for individual output types as the template designed with perfection for pdf output type dosen't comply with rtf or any other type and vice versa.
Cheers!

Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
* Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
* Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Destin

Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that. I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
which will be a learning experience...

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

Dynamically generating and printing output from user input on pdf form

Hi Everyone,
I am consider the purchase of of Designer with the hopes of doing something really simple (and hopefully in a simple way)
I would like to present the user with a form which they will fill out. On clicking a "submit button", I would like to generate a letter and have it print out based on the information provided in this form (note, the user doesn't ever really even need to see the letter).
Would Designer be able to do something like this? I have been messing around with the trial version, so I am somewhat familiar with the scrip language. For instance, I am at the point where I would be able to get all the information, and generate the letter in HTML stored in a string object. But I wouldn't know what to do with this string to render and print it.
Thanks!
- Dave

I have just downloaded the trial version of Acrobat 7. It appears that if you want to create a new form, it pretty much brings you to Designer... which is really fine by me.
I appreciate everyone telling me that it is doable, I'm still left with the problem of what I should actually do to do it! =)

this generates spool in SP01. Ideally it should generate a PDF spool file but it generates a BIN file of Format G_RAW. When I display the spool it displays all kinds of japanese characters which does not make sense,.
I setup printer ISJB with device type JPPDF (PDF converted for Japanese characters). Does any one know where the problem could be? Why I could not print the Spool in PDF?
Thank you,
Jagadish

CONVERTING SMARTFORM INTO PDF AND PRINTING DIRECTLY

Hai guys,
   I got a problem.
First the Smartform I created doesnt show all TABLE LINES(the rows coloumns)...
so I have converted the SMART FORM to ADOBE FORM PROGRAMITICALY ...
now in order to PRINT ..
one has to first SAVE the FORM(adobe form) onto desktop(or whereever) and give it to PRINT...
unfortunately my CLIENT doeasnt like the EXTRA STEP..
so i best i can SAVE the file to a hardcoded location and
OPEN it ..
But then CAN I
a)PRINT DIRECTLY without SAVING??
b)ISSUE PRINT PROGRAMITICALY
c)I learnt that a SMARTFORM can be GENERATED INTO PDF only at RUNNTIME(from SMARTFORMS>UTILITIES etc)..i briefly tried that..can I use that to GET THE PDF to PRINT when one gives PRINT from SPOOL REQUEST(sp01)
hoping to give some quick points

Convert external documents to PDF and print

Hi,
I have a SAP script and with some help from SDN I am at point where I can convert this SAP script to PDF using the function module below
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
FORMAT = 'PDF'
* MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132
* ARCHIVE_INDEX = ' '
* COPYNUMBER = 0
* ASCII_BIDI_VIS2LOG = ' '
* PDF_DELETE_OTFTAB = ' '
IMPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE = BINFILESIZE
* BIN_FILE =
TABLES
otf = DATAB[]
lines = PDFTAB[].
Now my requirement is, let's say I have an external doc(word or excel) residing on my PC. I have complete path of this file in my hand. I want to convert this file to PDF and append it to the above PDFTAB[] and print to the printer 'TDDEST' as a single document.
Thanks,

Hi,
use this code passing in v_url the complete path

CP5 and Print output

I'm packaging some PPTs used for ILT using Captivate. The package is going to include an .exe version and two handout versions. One for students and one for instructors. Has anyone attempted to add or modify the templates for the print output?
I've just tried to use the Handout Template and it has everything scrunched in the center of the page.
When I use this as a handout for students I'd like the graphic more over on the left and more room for longer lines on the right for student notes.
I'd also like to use the handout format with the slide notes for an Instructor's Handout.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Susan

Susan then asked, "Since I've not written macros do you have a good source for learning how?" and I sent the following reply:
"Try this link as a starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd721892(v=office.12).aspx
However, I must forewarn you, to customize your Captivate documentation your macros will probably need to manipulate images, resizing and/or repositioning them. For that, you will need to learn how to use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to manipulate Microsoft Word's "Shapes" and "InlineShapes" collections. Initially, all the slide images in the Word document that Captivate produces are inline shapes, attached to the Word paragraph in which they occur. You can resize an inline shape, but you can't reposition it directly. You can either adjust the position and alignment of the paragraph to which it is attached, or you can convert it to a regular Shape whose position can be controlled independently of nearby text. The following procedure is one I use to position the first slide by itself on the first page of the Word document:
Sub FloatPicture1()
    Dim iSlideCount As Integer
    Dim oILS As InlineShape
    Dim oFloatingShape As Shape
    iSlideCount = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count ' this line just shows you how to find total number of pics in the document
    Set oILS = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1) ' this line sets up a convenient reference to the first picture in the InlineShapes collection
    With oILS ' the "With" to "End With" block lets us do multiple actions on the referenced object
        .Select ' If we hadn't done the "Set oILS" and "With oILS" steps, we would have had to type this line in full as:
                    ' ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).Select
                    ' and the following line as Set oFloatingShape = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).ConvertToShape
        Set oFloatingShape = .ConvertToShape
    End With
    With oFloatingShape ' Now that we have floated the shape, we can set its position
        .RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage           ' these settings control how word will interpret
        .RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage    ' the .Left and .Top values that follow.
        .Left = CentimetersToPoints(2)
        .Top = CentimetersToPoints(6.5)
    End With
    Set oILS = Nothing ' just some VBA housekeeping here, now that we have finished with these objects
    Set oFloatingShape = Nothing
End Sub ' FloatPicture1"
By the way, note that when we converted InlineShape #1 to a floating shape, that would have reduced the count of InlineShapes by 1, and what was previously InlineShape #2 is the new #1. Your code may sometimes need to take that change of numbering into account.

PDF and Excel output cell spacing issues

Hi all..
I have a report and template whose output should be both in PDF and Excel.
Lets say I have two tables in out put one below other. (Table1 and table 2 below it..)
Table 1 has 5 columns and table 2 has 30 columns.
In PDF since it is difficult and ugly to show 30 columns, I made font as 6( very small font)
PDF output looks fine. But, when I open the reort in excel..its all messed up and ugly.
Table 1 column widths are very much uneven. lI noticed that table1, table 2 coulmns width are same...
For my Requirement, they must have seperate widths.. Also..when I open the report in Excel, I still get in font size 6 which is ugly
I want table1 column width and table 2 column width in Excel as seperate..
How do I achieve this.

Vetsrini wrote:
you can do that too..
two set of tables, one for each output. and use the Microsoft word font properties.
else
add something like this
<fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red">
Your test or your field
</fo:block>Srini, this worked!
My font differences in Pdf and Excel has been eliminated now.
But however I have one more problem as I stated in my first post.
When I exported into Excel, My column width of first table is dependant on the other making my report look uneven.
I am providing the screen shots.
Look how Rate column of first table is very huge as it took the colmun width of table2 (Decription column)

I need something like this: http://i.imgur.com/nklEN.jpg
Is this achievable?
