Document uses unsupported PDF feature!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,
I do a lot of historic research using books and periodicals downloaded from archive.org.  I download PDF's and save everything in folders.  The volume of material that I've accumulated was getting overwhelming, so I found Digital Editions and thought it would help bring some order to the chaos.  My first attempt to upload 58 "books" resulted in 27 being completely unreadable with the message "document uses unsupported PDF feature".  That's a pretty dismal success rate.  What gives?
Thanks,
Darryl 

Assuming that you are talking about scanned sheet music in PDF form, then the problem is either that the sheet music was authored with Latex and uses fonts that Digital Editions doesn't support, or was scanned and the image format which Digital Editions also currently doesn't support. Acrobat Reader 7.0 supports these, and future (but not 1.5) version of Digital Editions will also support these features.
We have been working with publishers on these issues (e versions of Comic Books/Graphic Novels, for instance have been a particular problem), but I don't think we've heard of this problem with sheet music yet. Which publisher is this?

  • Creation of PDF Document  using ADF Table data in new window

    Hi Guys,
    I have a requirement of creating a pdf document from adf table and it must open in a new window.I know creation of pdf document using itext pdf jar.But in my case how to write the table data to pdf and how to open it in new window.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

    In the TF do like this..
    view activity A-------dialog:invokePdf------->view activity B (invokePdf)
    Fragment A command button would be
    <af:commandButton action="#{pageFlowScope.PdfBean.openPDF}"
    text="Generate" id="cbpdf"
    useWindow="true"
    windowWidth="700" windowHeight="700"/>
    in the action add a return like return "dialog:invokePdf";
    Control flow outcome is "dialog:invokePdf". B would be just a empty fragment.

  • About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

    About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)? 
    It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting".  If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

    Hi.
    I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages,  I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time. 
    I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window.  This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once.  However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone.  This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc.  I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar.  Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
    Hope this makes sense.  Thanks for your help.

  • Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

    I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago.  The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version.  I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version).  When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file.  All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below).  After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort.  This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer.  After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel.  Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program.  I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem.  I have no idea where to go from here.  All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot!  Please help!!

    You'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...

  • Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

    Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
    I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
    In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

    Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

  • Save editable form into regular PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    Hello,
    With Adobe Pro, I've created a PDF form using the following:
    Save As Other...
    Reader Extended PDF
    Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)...
    Once saved, I am sending this form to colleagues for them to fill out.  These colleagues only have access to Acrobat Reader.
    What I'm hoping to do is to have them save the file into a regular PDF document with the info inserted in the form but without the option to change the form info (change from editable form to regular PDF file).
    Thanks for your help.

    Hrm, OK. Well I actually DON'T have my document set as a reader extended PDF. If i fill out my fields then try to use the sign feature, it's not flattening the fields when I save/close reopen. They are still editable.
    Just as a test, I saved it as reader extended and the sign feature is grayed out as you stated it should be. I am using acrobat X to create my fields and using reader XI to test inputting data/saving.
    I need users to be able to fill it out, save then send and the recipient NOT be able to modify the fields. Am I missing something with the sign feature?
    Thanks again for the reply!

  • I used to be able to send document as a PDF or Word Document via email using the toolbar.

    I used to be able to send Pages documents as a PDF or Word Document via email using the Pages toolbar (not the iWork feature).  Lately, it hasn't been working at all.  No email pops up; just nothing.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Any solutions?  I'm running Pages '09 version 4.1.

    This Apple Express Helper is a dumb one.
    File names with # and $ are perfectly treated by the share to Mail feature.
    What is rejected is the slash (/) and it's perfectly normal.
    Since the delivery of the first version of OS X, slash is an illegal character in file names.
    Apple thought that it would be fair to build a piece of code taking care of such chars because they were valid ones in the older operating systems.
    But they expected that users will drop these chars. Alas they didn't and users like you are continuing to play with matches.
    At last, OS X 10.7 removed the extraneous code and now, hosanna, iWork refuse to export files whose name contain the infamous slash.

  • While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

    I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
    Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
    Thanks for your support in advance.

    @Mukeshnnms
    Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
    I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
    "Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
    So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...
    <Note to self: WAIT even longer than usual to do updates, read about bugs first.>

  • How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

    If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
    After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
    This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
    In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

    Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

  • Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

    Hi
    I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
    I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
    Question:
    Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
    I'm using Windows.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Emil

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.
    I tried both ways and neither works.  It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
    Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer.  If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
    and...
    should I be getting a prompt box on every page?  I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

  • Not possible to print a SWF in a PDF document using the Print command in Ad

    Have a PDF with 3 pages, page 1 and 3 contains text and the 2nd page contains a SWF animation made with Xcelsius 2008. When printing the document using the Print function in Adobe the 2nd page is always empty, the SWF is never printed.  To be able to print the 2nd page containing the SWF animation I must use the print function in the Flash player (right click on the SWF animation).
    This problem should, according to Business Objects, be solved with the new version of Adobe Reader 9, but the problem still appear.

    I have seen this.  Adobe 9 cannot print embedded flash objects.  Xcelsius Engage/2008 includes a print button you can include on your dashboards to allow you to print them from your pdf files.

  • I need to use the PDF editor so I can sign or edit documents already on pdf format. Please advise?

    I need to use the PDF editor so I can sign or edit documents already on pdf format. Please advise?

    As per my understanding , To disable the field RV45A-KWMENG based on the condition for Transaction VA01/VA02.
    The conditions which i need to check is Order Type and item category.
    I understand that this is the code which i need to insert for disabling the field but i have a question here, where is the condition here and how the system understand for this field RV45A-KWMENG it has to disable. I think we need give the condition as if RV45A-KWMENG....... Another one if iam not wrong we need check that it has to be done in VA01 and VA02 then only this condition should be executed.
    IF VBAK-AUART EQ 'XXX' OR VBAP-PSTYV EQ TANN .
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'XXX'.
    SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Please suggest me the better way how can i do it in the coding.
    Awaiting for ur prompt reply.
