Error Message using Acrobat Distiller

Each time I try to take my Word document I converted to a PDF and changed to Postscript and open it in the Acrobat Distiller I get this error message:
PDF/X Compliance Report
1.  Bounding Boxes
   [Violation] Both TrimBoxes and ArtBoxes were found on the following pages:
   Violations: The total found in this section was 125.
2.  Summary
   Warnings: The total found in this document was 0.
   Violations: The total found in this document was 125.
   This document does not pass PDF/X-1a:2001 compliance checks.
</PDFX>
%%[ Warning: Did not pass PDF/X compliance tests. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Can someone tell me what I need to change in Acrobat to pass the PDF/X compilance test???
Please.....

This problem drove me crazy, but I finally (sort of) found the answer. To make a long story short, I eventually realized I had already gotten my file to be in the PDF/X-1a:2001 format even thought I was still getting the TrimBox error. So, my first advice is to go to File > Properties > Custom, and see if PDF/X-1a:2001 is already listed. If so, stop there because you are already good.
If not, you need to run Preflight. Go to  View > Tools > Print Production. The menu will show up on the right-hand side. Choose Preflight. Go down to "Convert to PDF/X Compliance" and click it. Then click one of the "Convert PDF/X 1a" options (I don't know what the different options mean, so I just chose the first one). Then click the "Analyze and Fix" button at the bottom. It will prompt you to save this analyzed/fixed document as a different name. If you get any errors, google them and try to fix them. (I was able to figure a few small ones out. My second file didn't have any errors.) Run it again until it is fine.
Here is the key. Go to File > Properties > Custom, and see if PDF/X-1a:2001 is listed. If so, you are good. The mistake I made was at this point to try again to print it to a PDF/X-1a:2001 and I was still getting that Trim Box Art Box error and driving myself crazy until I finally realized that I already had a PDF/X-1a:2001 file even though I was still getting that stupid error.

    What's the name of the file you are attempting to open?  Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"?  If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension.  Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

  • To display a continuos Error Message using BADI

    Hi Everybody,
                        There's a transaction that makes use of classes and interfaces to display an ALV grid with input enabled frames and fields. There's a need to display an error message using a specified BADI method, which gets triggered after the user enters the input. The error message is working fine for the first time.<b>But when i'm trying to enter the same input and press enter after the error message, the transaction is getting closed. How can i display the same error message, until and unless the user enters the correct input ?</b>  I've tried to trace the control using the debugger after the enter is pressed, but the debugger is also getting closed and the control is coming out of the transaction. Help me out in displaying the error message.

    Hi,
    Open the interface and go to the Methods tab.
    Select the Method and click on Parameters.
    In the method parameters, declare a variable
    RETURN      Changing      Type     ALM_ME_BAPIRET2_T.
    Now, inside your code, declare   DATA : ls_return TYPE bapiret2.
    and populate this RETURN table, something like:
            if not ( wa_mara-mtart eq 'SPAR'  or wa_mara-mtart eq 'ZMRO' ).
        CLEAR ls_return.
        MOVE 'E' TO ls_return-type.
        MOVE 'ERR_MESSAGE' TO ls_return-id.
        MOVE '999' TO ls_return-number.
        MOVE 'Enter proper error message here' TO ls_return-message.
        INSERT ls_return INTO TABLE return.
        endif.
    Then, back in your program, check if this table is empty proceed otherwise, STOP or EXIT.

  • Send custom error message using IDoc conversion rule?

    Hello,
    I am using an Idoc conversion rule in BD79 to load cost centers.  In my conversion rule I use a conversion exit function module to concatenate 2 specific characters and sending cost center value together and then this output value placed in the receiving cost center field.  This works fine, but now I want to send a custom error message to the idoc and fail the idoc if the sending cost center value is greater than 8 digits. 
    Does anyone know how to send an error message or update an idoc with an error message using a conversion rule (bd79)?
    Thank you,

  • Getting Error Message using Formatted Search

    Hi,
    I am using formatted search for validating a particular field, and that happens fine.  Kindly let me know if I can also display error messages using the same formatted search.
    If yes, what am I to include in the formatted search, and if No, please let me know the alternative.
    Thanks in advance.
    Satish.

    Hi Satish,
    if you validate the value of a field and intend to rise an error message on detection of invalid values in a separate window or in the status line there is no way to do it with Formatted Searches (as far as I know)!
    You could use the following methods as simple workarounds if you don't want to program a solution with the SDK:
    1. Solution
    You can display the text of an error message in the field you validate; of course, the invalid data then is overwritten with your error message, but you could construct the message from fixed text parts concatenated with the data found in the field.
    Be sure to save the original data of the field in your query before you do anything else. This way you sustain the field data in case the data is valid!
    Example:
    DECLARE @save AS ....
    SET @save = $[xxxxx]
    IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
      SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
    ELSE
      SELECT $[xxxxx] -- no error - sustain valid data
    END
    2. Solution:
    You define a sepate User Defined Field (UDF) for potential error messages - that's the way I often programmed it for our own applications. Suppose that the Formatted Search is connected to this UDF and the field to validate is field 'xxxxx'. The Formatted Search is triggered (auto-refresh) on change of field 'xxxxx':
    IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
      SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
    END
    May be that there are minor syntactical errors or missing type conversions in the code above - but I hope it gives you an idea on how to solve your problem without SDK programming!
    Good luck!

  • How to show error message using java.awt?

    How to show error message using java.awt?
    Which is the class corresponding to the JOptionPane?
    Or I need to use Frame ?

    No, JOptionPane is swing!
    You would have to create your own frame, put your message in it, then show it.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

    I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
    When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
    What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
    This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
    It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
    I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

    Ok, here is the update.
    The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
    I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
    So far these do not work:
    Relicensing or Registering the Licence
    Acrofix.exe
    Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?

  • 'Cannot read or create the font (font name) error message for Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi Im new here so i dont know if this topic has been handled already.
    First the base info: Im on a iMac G5 running 10.5.4. And Im using Acrobat 9 pro. Im trying to convert Quarkxpress 7.31 eps files to PDFs. The particular font in question is called Blue Melody Ultra Bold. I use Font Book to manage my fonts.
    I installed it in every font folder i could find hoping that this would solve my problem. Still i get the message and when the file opens all i get a series of dots where the font should be. I get the same problem when i port files to work from home. And at work they are using Photoshop CS on Mac G3s.
    Im wondering is the problem with Acrobat or the fact that its Quark 7 giving the fact thats its been horribly buggy? Still Ive read where other people have been having the same problem that arent Quarkxpress files. Can anyone give me a little help?

    Well quark does have problems reading (placing) PDFs but not generally Exporting (creating) them.
    Pixelated and low quality PDFs are usually down to your settings, in particular turn off the OPI XT and uncheck the Distiller option to allow postcript to overwrite Distiller Settings.
    You are confusing subjects, The general consensus on the quark forums that EPS is better than PDF is specifically when talking about placing files into quark picture boxes. No one is saying Save page as EPS and Distill to make a PDF is a good idea. Both Export or printing postscript and Distilling are superior methods.
    Have you cleared your font caches.
    You may want to change from Font Book to something like Linotype Font Explorer X which is free to manage your fonts.
    Short term fix would be to set up a Distiller settings file that includes the location of your troublesome font.

  • Error message printing to Distiller (5.0) from MS Publisher 2003

    I suddenly can't print from Publisher to Distiller. Using XP.
    Error message reads: %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; offending command: image ]%%
    Files previously printing OK suddenly are not. Have had occasional success experimenting with printing individual pages but can't find a pattern. Tried re-saving images in smaller resolution but no help. Tried saving entire pages as smaller image but limited success and text looks fuzzy.
    Any ideas?

    I thought I had already answered but can't see it posted. This is my first time doing this. I will try again.
    I have a PC with Windows XP and both programs installed on my C drive. I work on a server with the files. I'm not very technical I'm afraid. Is this enough information? Thank you.

  • Why do I receive "4.3.2 connection rate limit exceeded" error message using the mail merge extension and what can be done about it?

    I am using TB 31.3.0 with Mail Merge 3.9.1. I routinely send an email to 435 members of an volunteer emergency responders group that I coordinate. I do so using a .csv list with mail merge. While there were no problems in the past, more recently the mail merge function will hang after sending a varied number of messages successfully and I get the following error message:
    "An error occurred sending mail. The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: 4.3.2 connection rate exceeded.."
    There is an "OK" button in the error message pop up that can be clicked to resume the mail merge process. It would appear that if I click the "OK" button immediately whenever the error message is received I must do so frequently and some members do not receive their email. If I delay clicking the "OK" button, I found that I only needed to click the "OK" button twice to send to all the members.
    An on line search suggests this is the result of some sort of throttling by my ISP, Sonic.net. There is also this comment: "If you are receiving this error, you are likely using mailing list software which cannot decipher the temporary fail codes. If so, you will need to set your software to slow down its delivery rate and/or reduce the number of active connections per remote host."
    I am not super technical. Is it realistic to think that I can tweak mail merge to that I do not have to babysit my email to this group?

    then I suggest you send using a mail provider that is not actively trying to block your outgoing mail. Or use a yahoo / google groups mailing list feature so you only send a single mail.
    Or use a free account from the likes of http://www.ymlp.com/ who limit free account mailing lists to 1000 subscribers. ( Googled them this morning)

  • "Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

    I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
    Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported".  If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
    Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video.  The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
    When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Kiron

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • Weird error message using phone as iPod

    When I plug my iPhone into my car's iPod connection cord (which works fine with regular iPods and does not cause regular iPods to display any weird error messages), the iPhone says something about how "...that accessory does not work with the iPhone..." and asks me whether I want to switch to airplane mode. In spite of this weird message, I am able to play my music via the usual method in my car. Weird. Remedy?

    Actually Human,
    Many iPod accesories were not designed to operate in close proximity to a GSM phone. The iPhone is a GSM phone. There is a program for iPod accessory manufacturers to test and certify their accesories for use with the iPhone. This article contains more information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305766
    That being said, many will work without going into airplane mode, some will get interference from the GSM signal that will come through as a hum or sometimes popping noise. Since sending and receiving the GSM signal is needed to make calls, the iPhone can't be shielded to prevent interfering, the accessory needs to be.
    This article contains more information on potential interference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305662
    The short answer is the car adapter may work without going into Airplane Mode, or it may have interference from the GSM signal at times.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
