Error Message when generating PDF in RH8

Can someone help. I am using RH 8 and I have created a project in HTML. When generating a PDF document, it throws up an error message and does not create a PDF. However I am able to create a Word file.
Do I need to have an extra license for RoboPDF? Or does it generate automatically. I am getting the message that I do not have permission to access RoboPDF as I need a license. Doesnt it come with RH8?
regards
Lina

I have moved this thread to the Printed Documentation category where it belongs. This will be of more help to anyone else with this problem.
It might have helped to have details or an image of the error message. (If you do add images, use the camera icon above)
If you are using RH8, why are you using RoboPDF? That came with earlier versions. RH8 ships with a lite version of Acrobat or a full version if you have the Tech Comm Suite.
In RH7, that had a problem that could be fixed as described in Item 33 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh7/using_rh7.htm I guess you could try reregistering that DLL.
Without the error message it is difficult to tell but I am more inclined to think you have not installed the version of Acrobat that ships with RH8. In Word, if you go to File > Print, do you see RoboPDF and do you see a version of Acrobat? An image of what you see when you go to File > Print in Word might help.

Error message when generating PDF from PageMaker

Hello, Unfortunately my client is still using PageMaker, despite the fact that it is no longer supported. Usually, I have no problem, but this is the error I have had today:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets fonts/TimesNewRomanPSMT%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I'm on Vista, with Acrobat 8.1.3 and I'm printing to PDF from PageMaker 7. It seems to be a font problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Finally managed to get the first two of the 3 books (making up the full publication) printed by doing "Export". The third one, which has been causing all the trouble has started giving me the font message again:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets fonts/TimesNewRomanPSMT%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I had ensured that the PDF box said "warn and continue".
I also get a dialog box telling me that only even pages will be printed, although I have specified even/uneven in the print dialog, and that blank pages will not be printed, although I have checked the blank page box.
Have tried to "Print" to PS and I have managed to generate a PS file with only a message telling me that Helvetica Neue could not be incorporated, which is fine. However, if I then try to create a PDF, I get the message above. Does this mean that my problem is with Distiller rather than in the file?
I have never had this problem before, and am baffled.

An error occured while generating a new report template

I have installed the Crystal Reports 2008 V2 and also the support pack. Installed the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 and the latest service pack 2.7. When I try to use the SAP Tool bar from Crystal Report , I can connect/see the queries but when I select any query to create a report I am getting an error message
"An error occured while generating a new report template". Any advise ? How do I turn on the trace in the client ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you update your Fix Pack...
Here is solution for Client...
To turn tracing on for client applications, you can use the following steps:
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables button.
2. Under the User Variables, add the following variable and value:
For Enterprise XI:
Variable Name: BOE_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logs
For Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise, and Crystal Reports version 10 and earlier:
Variable Name: CRYSTAL_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logging

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Error occurred while generating PDF. Reason: ERROR_PDF_CONVERSION

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've tried:
adding charset meta tags to the top of my outputted HTML contents that comprise the PDF
I've tried adding the <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8" /> but doesn't seem to help.
#encodeForHTML(pdfHTMLVariable)# and even just tried encoding the individual variables that contained the special characters but that didn't seem to help anything as encoding them still won't work I'm assuming if the Charset is mis-matched.
Does the <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> just have to be within the CFC method or does it need to be within the <cfhtmltopdf> tag?
Any input or things to try would be much appreciated as this is a regression for our app.
**As a side note: I would still just use CFDOCUMENT, but there was a different issue where the images were outputting a RED X where the image is supposed to be. Which from what I have been able to uncover has something to do with the server certificate not being trusted or something. However, our SSL provider is listed in the ROOT Certificate Authorities so not sure what's going on with that. Those images were being output with cfimage action of writeToBrowser .
I'd really like to fix the encoding issue does this have anything to do with language packs or missing languages of that sort? My app displays the page just fine when the UTF-8 charset meta tag is set.

Error messages when generating

Hi, I am getting error messages when generating Webhelp that
I haven't gotten before. When i go into the output files after
getting these messages, I notice there are hardly any of the java
script files in there. The messages I get are
"Template Active Script Error: (null) [Line: 13] (null)

What do these mean and how can I fix them? Thanks,

I keep getting this error message, why? "performance band report unit 3.pdf" failed to export to Mic

Failed to export to Microsoft word. THis is the error message I get, why wont it export?

Could be some incompatibility with 10.6.8 or something you added to your system.
Try downloading the 5.4.0.1771 version and see if you have any better luck.
FWIW, I just downloaded 5.3.59.1093 and it worked "ok" on my 10.6.5. Of course "ok" is a relative term when it comes to skype since Microsoft took it over!

I have always had trouble (including error messages)when opening pdf files from a website within Firefox

More often than not when I open a pdf file from within Firefox the file fails to open (often you get an error message. "there was an error processing page. A file I/O error has ocurred"). Sometimes the file downloads but is only white pages. I usually then right click the file and save it to my desktop but this is cumbersom!

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

Error Message when Optimizing PDF

I am working on a project in PowerPoint using text, shapes, and clipart. I save that as a PDF and then open it in Adobe and then prepare to save it as an optimized PDF. When saving, I get an error message "An error was encountered while processing images." As a result, the file does not optimize nor save. I can't figure out what is causing this to occur. I have completely recreated this document from scratch, and the error message is still occurring. What can I do to prevent this?

You can't directly open a Pages (or Word) document and Excel and, its equivelent Macintosh program in Acrobat. That's true. In OSX.5.8 and lower and 9.2 and lower you can go to print menu and choose AdobePDF and print a PDF. Or simply use the Mac's PDF button in Print menu. Or Most programs will allow you to save as Post script by going through the print menu click on PDF button and choose create Postscript from PDF (I know it sounds stupid but that what Apple has it listed as. ) Then Drop the PS File on Distiller. or open with distiller.
ON OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) all bets are off.
you need to read this link.
Note: to make sure that everything goes smooth locate Automator select, do get info (Command key-I) and change from 64 bit to 32 bit. Its seems based on info from Acrobat the automator action for Create adobe quality PDF Automator action

Error Message when creating PDF

I was trying to Create PDF - From File and access a Pages document when I received this error message.
There was an error opening this document. There was a Macintosh system error (-1409).
Any ideas? I'm new to Acrobat and did this same function two days ago. Now it doesn't work. I can open a Jpeg into Create PDF, but not a Pages document.
It's MAC OSX software.
Thanks.

What tech. do I need just to generate PDFs based on ABAP function modules

Hello,
We have mySAP ERP 2005 and Enterprise Portal 7. Until know we offered employees (in the portal) to print some "reports" such as travel data and payslip. We used the functionality to convert a spool job into a PDF in this case.
Now, we want to migrate to a more advanced way of generating the PDFs with the following advantages:
- template based design, better maintenance thus
- richer formatting
- option for integrating graphics
Our current technology is hard to maintain (mostly write() based reports...).
We do NOT want interactive forms as discussed here - but is it the same technology to use? I heard that you need a dedicated Adobe server for this and far as I know we just have a more or less default installation of mySAP ERP 2005 plus EP7 (so adding servers or other modifications e.g. opening new network ports should be avoided...).
When developing new PDFs, I want to go shure that we are using an up-to-date technology. I do not know if perhaps we should vote for Smartforms?
Instead of ABAP report we have function modules, so the technology should be able to call them in any way (directly, RFC or even JCo).
Thanks for any advice, regards,
Timo

Hello,
yes the SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is the way to go, also in case of print forms.
The ADS can run on your existing J2EE engine, as long as it is installed on a plattform, what is released for ADS. http://service.sap.com/PAM
Kind regards,
Dezso
