Documents saved as ".pdf" documents when uploaded to a server

I am a very new Webmaster for a non-profit with an iMac using Leopard. I'm using Pagespinner and Fetch. When I need to attach information sheets in pdf format, I open them in Word, then use the "pdf" option under the Print command (and remember to uncheck the "hide extension" command) to save in "x.pdf" format. I check the links out offline and everything works and the downloaded test file looks perfect. But after I upload them to our server using Fetch, and test them "live", the downloaded x.pdf files all come out looking "corrupted" with 95% blank pages. I have tested and re-tested. All my predecessor's .pdf attachments look and work fine but I don't know what technology he used. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to buy a professional PDF software package?

I don't think you need to buy a professional PDF software package. Uploading a file to a website and then downloading it again should not change it.
Is fetch uploading in binary mode when you place the files on the webserver? I don't use fetch so I'm not sure where that setting would be, but if it is like any other FTP client it will have the setting somewhere.

    Right, so to advise you we'd need to know the particulars of MagCloud's spec for your project; format, trim size, bleed, etc.
    It's doubtful that anything happened "when uploading for printing," so long as you were uploading a PDF, as opposed to the native InDesign file. Did the PDF look right to you before uploading?

  • Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

    i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
    in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html    
    once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
    using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
    how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

    I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

    I checked with Adobe.  No luck. 
    Allow me to clarify my problem: 
    I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro.   My adobe was updated on 12/24.  Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left.  In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF.  If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document.   After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."   My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it? 
    The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple.  Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thank you.

  • Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported.

    Hi Guys,
    I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
    Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
    Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
    Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
    The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
    Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
    thanks you in advance for your help.

    Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
    When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
    Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

  • Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

    I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
    As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
    The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
    i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
    There is where i get the above error message :
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
    And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
    If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
    If i do that i get the following message:
    "The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
    What is wrong with all this?
    Can anyone help me out?

  • AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

    Hi,
    I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
    I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu.  However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported".  Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader.  I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat.  In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
    Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't.  I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one.  But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
    I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat.  Help.  There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
    (What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly.  But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat.  At least, I used to.  It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
    -- Mike G.

    My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
    In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
    Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard.  I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc).  So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
    Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment.  YMMV.

  • Since upgrading to FF5, i get the following xml error on local development server (IIS 7 Windows 7): XML Parsing Error: no element found, Line Number 1, Column 1. The pages display fine when uploaded to hosting server. How do i resolve it

    All aspx pages running locally via IIS or Visual studio inbuilt server can not be displayed in FF5. This problem has only occured since upgrading to FF5. The same sites/code worked fine with the previous version of FF.
    When uploaded onto a hosting server the pages display fine. Pages all display ok on local IIS on IE, chrome, opera etc.
    I do go through a proxy server, but so do the other browsers.
    All this means i can't develop locally on FF. Help please!

    Maybe your application doesn't support "Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM".

  • AS3 not working when uploaded to linux server

    Works like a charm when I preview it but when I upload to the
    server (tried 3 different ones) it just ignore the actionscripts
    all together no matter what I use.
    What I have is a rotating banner system. I set it up to
    randomly start at a specific one. If I preview it locally or run in
    in my .html file locally (just using preview in dreamweaver) it
    works like a charm and starts at a random one. When I upload it it
    just starts at the first one like the actionscripts do not exist.
    Using Flash CS3 and AS3.
    Thanks

    Pretty sure it is not a problem with the upload as I have
    been doing this for years the same way with Dreamweaver. In
    diagnosing the issue I rebuilt it and in place of the movie clips I
    just put text and uploaded it. Worked like a charm. Added the movie
    clips and again does not work when I upload it. Ignores the
    actionscript and just plays them in order. Did a build from top to
    bottom and from bottom to top also. Something in the movie clips is
    causing it but darned if I can find the answer. I have done this
    same thing before and it worked just fine. Just at a loss. I am
    attaching the code inside the movie scripts which work just fine.
    It is just ignoring scripts on the Scene 1 level.

  • Using PHP to process submitted PDF Form and Upload FDF to Server

    Hi All,
    I have a PDF form online (created in Acrobat 9.0 Pro, NOT LiveCycle Designer!) that, once a user has filled it out and clicks the submit button, I want two things to happen:
    1) I want the data from the form to be submitted to a custom PHP script, which I can do several different things with (store the data in a MySQL database, for example).
    2) I would also like to upload/store/save (not sure of the proper vernacular) the filled out form (FDF file) to the web server.
    Now what I need from you lovely people, either directly, or point me to where I can find the following:
    1) How/What options do I choose for the Submit button in Acrobat 9.0 Pro when I create the PDF?
    2) What/Where can I find a PHP code snippet to get the data from fields in the submitted form?
    3) I know you can set up an Acrobat form to e-mail a copy of the FDF file to a specified e-mail address. Instead of emailing that FDF file, I want to store it directly to a folder on my web server. However, just setting the URL in the submit button to a folder on my web server doesn't seem to do the trick. So, I guess what I need is to somehow reference the FDF file with my custom PHP script... something like $_POST["fdffile"] ???? Please if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! Because, if I can reference the FDF file, I can then use PHP's built in FTP functions to upload it to a specific folder on my web server.
    Thanks for any input!!!

    HI All,
    can someone please quide me how I can make this code to work for me?
    Where and what folder I have to put this PHP script?
    What my http will be?( I will use localhost)
    What the name of my PDF file(create by LiveCycle Designer)
    What the name of the file I will receive and where(folder) will be send it via the server?
    I see these name below in the PHP script but I can not make out what....
    configuration.php
    administrator/xml

  • Page Break does not work in PDF report when deployed to App Server

    I have a report with a PAGE Break before on a repeating frame that holds a matrix report. In reports designer on the PC, the report correctly shows the page break. When deployed to the app server, the report shows the page after the break superimposed on top of the page before the break.
    The report has a repeating frame that spans both pages and holds the header information (page 1), and the matrix report (page 2).
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  • I can't see swf path location through ui loader when uploaded to web server.

    I know there are different ways to accomplish what I'm trying to do, but I must not be going about it the right way. I used a ui loader to load different swf files to save on space. I can see them locally, but when I publish the html to the server nothing is there. I'm using the loader as moive clip for tweening. Here is one example of the code I'm using.
    stop();
    import fl.transitions.Tween;
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
    import fl.containers.UILoader;
    import flash.media.SoundMixer;
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    var myTween:Object;
    myTween = new Tween (aui, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, 1, true);
    btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,forward);
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,backward);
    function forward(event:MouseEvent):void
        if (this.currentFrame == this.totalFrames)
            gotoAndStop(7);
        else
            nextFrame();
    function backward(event:MouseEvent):void
        if (this.currentFrame == 7)
            gotoAndStop(this.totalFrames);
        else
            prevFrame();
    The swf is located in the same folder as the html. It's almost like a slide show I made with button going through each section.
    Please if anyone can help, because I just can't figure it out.

    If all of the files are in the same folder as the html then you should be able to use a relative reference (not the full http: version).  For the full version you might end up needing to include the "www" part as well, but you should be able to just use the file name alone.
    The only things I can think of....
    1) the url specified by the UILoader doesn not match the filename on the server. 
    2) the swf being loaded is also trying to load a file but cannot find it
