Documents to PDF issues

I am having trouble with the end product with documents that are turned in to PDFs. All the coloring is correct when saved, but when PDF'd there is discoloring and "white boxs" that form in the PDF. Any help is appreciated!

Peter, I have tried that.. This is what my pdf is turning out like... See how Cowgirl and Dallen are sort of washed out?

Converting excel /word 2007 documents to pdf issue

Hello,
I am currently using Windows XP Pro SP3 and Office 2007, Adobe 8 Standard version 8.2.2 and Adobe Distiller8.2.2.217. Sometimes when I try to convert Word or Excel 2007 documents to adobe PDF, it creates just a blank pdf file. After a reboot, I was able to convert documents to pdf and again creates blank file. From Word, if I click 'Acrobat' menu and click 'Create PDF' and in the 'Save As' dialog box when "Quick and Simple" is selected instead of 'Fully functional", pdf documents are created (not blank ones). Unfortunately, "Quick and Simple" option is not even available in Excel....So, at least twice a day I need to restart PC to convert documents....
Any suggestions / comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

No, you'll have to re-create them using JavaScript.

File Open Issues - document library pdf file to open in new browser window

Hi
I have a requirement to open the document library containing pdf file to open in new browser window. So far I have tried following steps but could not get it to work.
1. Changing Document library advance setting to open the document in browser (have tried others as well).
2. SharePoint web application setting changed as Permissive instead of Strict. Here the pdf file opens in browser but redirect from document library instead of new window(Also tried adding Target=”_blank” and no change).
3. Executed the powershell script to adding MIME type to see if it works but no change.
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://SharePointSite
If ($webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains "application/pdf")
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Adding PDF MIME Type..."
$webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
$webApp.Update()
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Added and saved."
Else
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "PDF MIME type is already added."
4. Open the Doc library and modified ALLItems.aspx to add Target= “_blank”
5. I have already tried solutions suggested in the link:

Appreciate if there are any working solution from any of you. Many Thanks

I found a solution which works only in the development. No idea when I compared, Browser MIME type is enabled, STRICT browser type is configured for web application. on the document library advance setting, default to open in new browser. Both configurations
are identical but I am able to open pdf file in new window in my developing using jquery script
http://blog.ithinksharepoint.com/2011/02/21/open-pdf-files-from-a-document-library-in-a-new-window/ but the same does not work on production server :(
Any help experts?

To retrieve the PRT document (a PDF file) and insert the doc in PM order

Hello guys,
I have a challenging task in from printing as follows,
By using TC: IW3D we get print preview of PM Order Set (PM Print Program: YIPRJT01), currently the PRT document number prints in the PM Order. Now we have to insert the PRT documents (a PDF file) into the PM Order set rather than printing the PRT document number ( By using TC: IW33 by going OPERTIONAL TAB we will get the PRT document(a PDF file))
The requirement is to retrieve the PRT document (a PDF file) and insert the document in PM order set with out navigating separately by using the TC: IW33.
If you run the script in the print preview we can able to see PM the order set along with the PRT document (a PDF file).
Thanks & Regards
Vishnu

I'm also trying to print PRT document with shop papers and still not able to do so. I selected "P" for print on the control key and it should print but still didn't print.
If I understand it right, I think you are trying to do the same.
Have you resolved this issue ?
Thank you,
Sam

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

Blank Page appears after converting MS Word (2010 on Win 7) document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat XI

Hi,
Even after updating to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.2). While converting a MS Word 2010 .docx format document to .pdf, the cover page with text, image and background color, appears blank with only the background color.
Apperciate if someone can give me a resolution for this issue.
Best Regards

The coverpage gets converted in Acrobat.com cloud service. Is Abobe going to fix this bug in the Acrobat XI version too?

Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

Hi there,
This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
Background:
In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint. We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search. Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
Note: I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility. I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works. It just seems to be these
particular PDFs.
I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion. I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
looking for.
Another note: When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue? Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
You can take steps as below for verifying:
Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
Go to File -> Properties.
Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.

How can I scan a document to PDF in Windows 7 Professional

I have a Canon MX892 which I previously used with Windows XP. I was able to scan documents to PDF very easily using the Canon Solutions Menu EX. I am now using Windows 7 Pro 64. I downloaded the associated version of Canon Solutions Menu EX, but it is completely different from the Windows XP with far less functionality. Is there some way to scan documents to PDF with Windows 7 Pro?

Hi daberg,
There is a program called MP Navigator that comes with the printer that can assist you with scanning a document in as a PDF file. Once you are in the MP Navigator program, please follow these steps to scan and save a document in PDF format:
1. When MP Navigator opens, click on the ONE-CLICK option at the top of the window.
2. Click on the SAVE AS PDF FILE button.
3. Place the document you want to scan on the Platen, then select your Document Type (either Color or Black and White Photo or Document), Size, and Resolution.
4. In the FILENAME section, the default name for the file will be IMG; you can change this to something else if you would like by highlighting the IMG and then typing over it.
5. In the SAVE IN section, you will see the folder path and location that the file will be saved to when you scan it; if you would like to change the location, please click on the SPECIFY button and select the location where you would like the file saved to.
6. Below the SAVE IN section, there is a checkbox titled SAVE TO A SUBFOLDER WITH THE CURRENT DATE. If you leave this checkbox checked, then whatever folder location you select will have a folder with the current date of the scan placed in it, and inside of the currently dated folder will be the file that you scanned. If you do not want to have the program create the subfolder, please uncheck that box.
7. Click the green SCAN button. Scanning starts. When scanning is completed, the file will be saved in the location you specified.
8. You can then close out of the MP Navigator program and go to the location where you specified the file to save. You should find the PDF file in that location.
Hope this helps!

Acrobat 10.1.3 Word Crash when converting 2007 document to PDF.

Word 2007 Crashes with the error seen below, when using the Convert to PDF button on the Acrobat ribbon in Word. The document may have footnotes. I can convert other docuemnts to pdf in this fashion. Is there an issue converting Word Docuements to PDF if they have foot notes? I saw a post where someone had a table in a docuemnt that was causing Word to crash when it was converted to PDF in this fashion.

Hi,
I convert several Word documents having footnotes to PDF using Acrobat X and it works fine. Is it possible for you to share your Word file in which you are seeing this issue so that I can investigate? You can send me the file @ [email protected]

When I Print a Document to PDF and Save a PDF the format displays differently.

We use PDF with Microsoft Dynamics GP. When we Print a document to PDF the format of the form is fine. When we SAVE a document to PDF the format is off. We believe we have ruled out application issues.

We are opening the document with Adober Reader. The same Application was used for both documents.
This image was printed from the Application to a PDF and opened in Adobe Reader.
This is the same document from the same application, but when we SAVE to a PDF the format of the gridlines is off.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

PDF issues

Hi Everyone!
I'm a teacher and have been using the web site The Mailbox where they have forms to fill in for class lists, calendars, etc. for years. I have been saving these documents as pdf files so I can make them accessible to everyone. I do this by clicking on the pdf button in the print window and then choose save as pdf. My entire document with all the data I typed in is then saved.
However, now all of a sudden, I am getting a message that says "Saving PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File>Save," when I click on the pdf button and choose any of the options listed. Also, if the preview button is chosen, it also says its not supported.
I have tried everything I could think of--reinstalling the printer software and drivers, reinstalling Adobe Reader, turning off the computer and printer, clicking out of Safari, trying to look up solutions from various sources, etc.
Hopefully, someone can help me understand what is causing my problem and help me solve it. I do depend on being able to fill out these forms so that my students can have their homework information available to them on my web site.
I can print pdf forms so that hasn't been an issue.
I have a HP Photosmart all-in-one printer, model c7280 & a macbook running os x 10.5.8.
Thank you.

When a page opens as a pdf in your browser, as many of the pages there seem to (I went to check it out), then you cannot use the print function to save it. However, you can just use File-Save (or command-s) to save the page, and it will save as a pdf.
So if the URL of the page you're viewing already ends in .pdf, all you need to do is save, rather than print-save as pdf.

While generating the VIM DP documents from PDF inovoices facing the problem

Hi Experts,
I am generating the VIM (Vendor Invoice Management) DP documents from PDF invoices by using the transaction /n/opt/vim_7ax7.
But the generated DP document having two issues.
1) The internal order is being changed ( The internal order from the PDF invoice has to be filled in the new DP document. But we are receiving the new value)
2) The cost centre value is updated in the Internal Order field even though we donot have the value in the PDF invoice. This is wrong.
By using transaction /n/opt/vim_7ax7 we are uploading the PDF invoices and generating the DP documents.
Could you please provide your valuable sugestions.
Thanks
Nagireddy Alavala

Hi Experts,
In addition to that I have found two tables.
1) /OPT/VIM_1HEAD - Document header
2) /OPT/VIM_1ITEM - Document item.
When uploading the PDF invoices, the above two tables are updated with new document number, Cost centre and internal order.
But I am unable to find from and when these two tables are getting updated.
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks

Can't export Pages document to PDF

I have been trying to export a Pages document to PDF a number of times and get the following message: "The application Pages quit unexpectedly." I have rebooted and still can't export. Can anyone help, please? Thanks so much.

paramita,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
That particular issue usually indicates either a bad font or a corrupt image. Or both. Try validating your fonts using Font Book. If you've got a corrupt font, change fonts in your document. If Font Book tells you all your fonts are healthy, try pulling half of the images out of your document, then saving again as a PDF. If it works, you know you've got a corrupt image in the half you pulled out.

Acrobat 11.0.07 immediately crashes after scanning a document to PDF on my Mac.. this occurs after a recent update!

Why is acrobat 11.0.07 crashing on my MAC immediately after scanning a document to PDF. I have not had this problem until after a recent update . The scanner is a HP 8600 Officejet Pro....

Hi Steve
There is a known issue with Acrobat 11 and it is specific to network/shared scanners and Mac OS 10.9. We have logged a bug in our database and we are working with Apple to resolve this issue. The workaround would be to connect the scanner via USB.
Thanks
