Please help urgently as i will have to type all 42 pages.

Thanks for the answer steve..
We are using Designer 9.0. Using designer we created the XDP file. The PDF was generated using the forms service of Adoble LiveCycle ES 2.5. So I was facing issue in certifying PDF generated by forms service and not when PDF was created using the designer.
As a test we changed the default form properties of the XDP file from static to dynamic. Again PDF was created using the XDP file via forms service. When this PDF was certified, the error was no more occurring. So we were able to solve the issue by changing form properties of XDP file from static to dynamic

Copy paste from pdf without the formatting

I've never understood how to copy and paste from pdf to word without getting the line return characters which mess up the formatting. Why doesn't text flow from line to line as it does in a normal word processor? Why does adobe insist on copying the newline character when you paste from pdf to another application?
This must be the dumbest feature in the world.
If there's a way to copy and paste from a pdf in plain text, without line breaks, please please tell me how. Thanks

I don't know a way to do it right out of Adobe, but you can use this tool to do what you're asking: http://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-line-breaks.php. I routinely have to copy and paste pdf material for the web for a non-profit I work for, and I use that tool every time because it works so well. Plus it's free. If you find out how to do it without using a third-party tool let me know!

Then don't do it. Use Paste and Match style in the Edit Menu. You don't need to go by other applications which Niel suggested.
It's not always the best soluce.
Example:
copy group of 3*3 cells from a Numbers table
Paste in Pages gives a table with every style attributes.
Paste and Match Style gives nine paragraphs of raw text, one by cell, exactly what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Rtf window and converting it to Text.
Running my good old huge script :
--{code}
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text
--{code}
then Paste, gives three paragraphs with cell's contents separated by TAB characters exactly as what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Text window.

Why can't I paste exact form of the text from pdf document?

Dear List Members,
I have a pdf document - it's scientific paper, containing some Fortran codes. I wanted to copy these codes into text file, in order to compile them and run. But after pasting, some characters are not copied in exact form. For example: "0" (digit zero) is pasted as "O" (big O character), letter "I" (big "I" character) is pasted as "1" (digit 1), etc. Finally I have to manually check the listings, what is very irritating and even this way I can't eliminate all the errors of this kind.
What is the reason of this situation? The source pdf document contains text. I used Acrobat, Acrobat Reader and AABBY Pdf Transformer.
Any help?
Regards,
Jack

P.S. I wanted to add this source pdf document to this post, but I don't know how to do it :-( Is there any option for it?

Thank you very much for your answer.
I posted this file here: http://www.4shared.com/office/KdDf2e63/p133-kimbler.html
It's 20-pages long document. The text I want to copy is on pages 148-151 (computer listing), according to the page numbering in this document.
May someone look at this file?

Extract All Embedded Files in All Folders and Save Each? Copy/Paste from PDF to Word?

I have most of what I need here, but I’m missing 2 important pieces.
#1) I want to copy/paste from all PDF files in a folder and paste the copied data into a single Word file.
It works fine if I have ONLY Word docs in my folder. When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in
the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.
#2) I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.
Here the code that I’m working with now.
Sub Foo()
Dim i As Long
Dim MyName As String, MyPath As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Documents.Add
MyPath = "C:\Users\001\Desktop\Test\" ' <= change this as necessary
MyName = Dir$(MyPath & "*.*") ' not *.* if you just want doc files
On Error Resume Next
Do While MyName <> ""
If InStr(MyName, "~") = 0 Then
Selection.InsertFile _
FileName:="""" & MyPath & MyName & """", _
ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
Attachment:=False
Dim Myshape As InlineShape
Dim IndexCount As Integer
IndexCount = 1
For Each Myshape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If Myshape.AlternativeText = PDFname Then
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(IndexCount).OLEFormat.Activate
End If
IndexCount = IndexCount + 1
Next
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
End If
On Error Resume Next
Debug.Print MyName
MyName = Dir ' gets the next doc file in the directory
Loop
End Sub
If this has to be done using 2 Macros, that’s fine.
If I can do it in 1, that’s great too.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi ryguy72,
>>When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.<<
Based on the code, you were insert the file via the code Selection.InsertFile. I am trying to reproduce this issue however failed. I suggest that you insert the PDF file manually to see whether this issue relative to the specific file. You can insert PDF
file via Insert->Text->Object->Text from file.
If this issue also could reproduced manually, I would suggest that you reopen a new thread in forum to narrow down whether this issue relative to the specific PDF file or Word application.
>> I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.<<
We can save the embedded spreadsheet via Excel object model. Here is an example that check the whether the inlineshape is an embedded workbook and save it to the disk for you reference:
If Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.ClassType = "Excel.Sheet.12" Then
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb xlPrimary
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.SaveAs "C:\workbook1.xlsx"
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Close
End If
And since the Word object model doesn't provide API to save the embedded PDF, I would suggest that you get more effective response from PDF support forum to see whether it supports automation. If yes, we can export the PDF as embedded spreadsheet like code
absolve.
Hope it is helpful.

Error while exporting to PDF document in OBIEE 11g

Hi
In OBIEE 11g we are facing an issue regarding exporting a few reports to pdf. It is resulting in following error: "Error generating PDF document".
The reports are placed on a dashboard which has a prompt too. However, when we remove the prompts, the export is working fine.
We will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like this is a sort of known bug with PDF creator in 11g. Try implementing the below solution:
To configure the Javahost service, edit the Javahost service configuration parameters in the
instanceconfig.xml file. The parameters are
identified by their relative path starting from the /WebConfig/ServerInstance node
For example:
<JavaHost>
<PDF>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>50000</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
After changes restart Siebel Analytics Java Host and Siebel Analytics Web services
If it doesn't work try to create same report in xml publisher as presentations services in obiee has limited capacities in printing out reports.
Refer to this thread for related useful information: Error in creating a PDF
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.

Error in certifying a PDF document

When I try to certify a PDF document containing an editable PDF XFA form using the Digital Signature web service. I get the following error:
ALC-DSS-300-017 Certification of Static Shell XFA Form PDFs is not supported. A Shell PDF is a special type of static or dynamic XFA Form PDF, which contains XFA streams that are not in synchronization with the rendering available in the PDF version. See Signatures Service Documentation for more details. (in the operation : certify);
Could anyone let me know how to resolve this issue?

Cannot copy and paste from PDF Created with Distiller 9.0

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I would be havingissues with copying/pasting from a PDF created w/ Distiller 9, as opposed to Distiller 8.x? I don't use Distiller myself, it just looks like this was what the creator of the document used. Is this a possible copyright protection that's been built in?

I can select text, but oddly enough it seems to automaitcally select random text - I can't select line to line. It randomly selects parts of all paragraphs at once. I'm very certain it's not an image.
I also checked to see if there were any security features that might be preventing copy/paste, and found none. I even compared it to an older edition of the document (which we can select text from perfectly), and none of the security features were any different. I would send this PDF to you, but I am in a heavily regulated work environment that doesn't allow for outgoing attachments or uploading.
If you have any other ideas, please let me know. If not, I really do appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Error Occurs When Opening PDF Documents Over Home Netrwork

Installation: XP/SP3; Adobe CS2 Premium (Acrobat Professional 7.1.0); Wireless Home Network with Cisco Router; shared My Documents folder stored on the Desktop PC.
Problem: PDF documents created locally with Adobe Acrobat and stored in the My Documents folder on the Desktop PC can not be opened by my laptop PC when they are accessed over the home network. The error message received from Adobe Acrobat is “There was an error opening this document. Access denied.” There is no error number. Click OK is the only option. However, the same PDF documents can be successfully accessed and opened using the Desktop PC.
PDF documents stored in the shared My Documents folder on the PC that have NOT been created locally using Adobe Acrobat can be successfully opened over the home network and by the Desktop PC. All other non-PDF files can be successfully access and opened over the home network.
Is there some setting within the Adobe installation that is blocking access to locally created PDF files over my home network?

John - in viewing Properties the key difference is under the PDF Tab. The
PDF documents that can't be accessed over my home network do not have any
entry for the application that created the document, and the PDF Producer
section is also blank. I also discovered a PDF document created on my
laptop and stored on my Desktop can be successfully accessed by the laptop
over my home network as well as the Desktop PC, and the PDF Tab has the
correct information. It would appear there is incorrect option or corrupted
application with the Adobe software on my Desktop.
Can you provide some additional guidance on how best to provide you all the
creation options in Acrobat?
Thank you.

Copy and paste from pdf to word

Hello,
When I cut and paste pictures from pdf files into my word documents using my mac, the pasted content appears colored black and I am not able to select what I truly mean to. I am able to do this easily with a pc - but prefer to do it with my laptop.
Thanks for your help,

Try using shift/apple/4 - gives you a cross-hair selector to grab part of the screen - saves as Picture1.png to your Desktop then drag that into Word.
Or, /Utilities/Grab

Error - "not a valid pdf document. it cannot be opened"

I am getting this error message when opening PSE. It says "This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened." Needing help asap! Thanks!

Quit PSE. Then go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > Settings
In 10.7 and higher that library is hidden. To see it, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. Also in 10.7 and up, while you're in there go to the saved application states folder and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.
