Excel borders not converting properly into PDF

Hello,
I am using Excel 2010 on a PC. I have a double line borders on all my tables. When I convert them to PDF the double lines blur together into one line unless I zoom out pass 100%. I thought I fixed the issue by making the border a darker color but when I imported the PDF into indesign they blur together again and most of them print out that way. (The document I am working on will eventually both be on the web and in print).
This does not happen with every table and I can't figure out what the difference is between a table that works and one that doesn't. I've played around with the smooth lines with limited results. Below is one of the tables where the double line on top blurs together.
Thanks!

Are you printing or using PDF Maker? What job settings are you using? What version of Acrobat? Have you tried using the Press or Print job settings? There may also be an issue with the default display resolution used in the Settings (typically at 1200 dpi) -- I use 300 dpi.

Converting HTML into PDF

Hello ABAP Experts,
I have a request to convert a HTML Response (FM: HTTP2_GET) into a PDF Document.
Has any body an idea how to handle that.
Thank you very much for you answers.
Kind regards
Axel

The easiest way to convert web pages/sites into PDF is with Acrobat! Important: this is Acrobat (costs a few dollars) and not Acrobat Reader!
Acrobat has a web capture tool. With the older version I tested there was some minor problems.
(1) It is not recognized as a browser we support. You will have to knock out the browser checking for this to work. Look at the cl_htmlb_content->runtime_validation. The last case statement. Modify your system to temporarily comment this out. (Do not forget to place it back!).
(2) The older version I tested with had problems to convert complex pages into PDF. The new rendering we use is to browser specific. Your milage might vary.
Alternative could be just to "print" the page from the browser into a PDFWriter (kind of printer driver that comes with Acrobat). This actually worked very well.
Alternative is just to make screenshots into word document and convert this into PDF.
> Please help me ..
With this, I think we have now helped you. In return, you can help us with a nice append (or better a small weblog) about the "huge project that was a challange". These war stories shared by the fire side makes for interesting reading, and I am sure other people would also be interested in seeing what you achieved. Looking forward to it.

Some images and handwritten content not converting properly

Some images on a pre printed pdf form and hand written details on a form are not converting properly and come out as rubbish.
Can this be fixed?

Hi
thanks - I will try a different browser, but attached are the two forms. they both have a handwritten element with a signature or the client completing the one with boxes by putting x's in the boxes to answer the questions. This is what is not working. It all comes out mixed and changed.
Thanks.

Not converting word to pdf

I installed adobe acrobat 5.0 on window 2000 server but its not converting word to pdf when I click by toolbal button system hangs.

AA5 is not licensed for use in the server mode. As long as Acrobat is not available for use off the server, only local use, you should be OK. Try to print from WORD to the Acrobat Distiller printer. If that does not work, then try printing to file. If that works, then open the file in Distiller to see if you get a PDF. If you do, then AcroTray is not running. It may be that AcroTray will not run properly on W 2000 Server. As I recall, some folks tried with the 2003 server and had problems.

Converting pictures into PDF files

How do I convert pictures into PDF files, is this possible?

If you want to use acrobat reader, you have to pay for it.
So, I use other free or cheap apps to do so =>
* powerpdf
* dragonprinter (draakprinter in dutch)
* writepdf
* scanapp (to convert parts of a picture)
I even think that almost every scan-app can convert pictures into pdf's.

Hyperlinks not working properly in PDF, converted by Nuance PDF converter

I have encountered a problem with the pdf files which were converted by the Nuance PDF converter(v8.1).
When reviewing a pdf file in Adobe Reader X(v10.1.0) the hyperlinks are not working properly in the "fit to window width and enable scrolling" mode.
The second one, "fit one full page to window", is working without problems. In this mode all links can be used.
Attached is a screenshot about the two modes in Adobe Reader X.
This issue is just happening, if the file is converted by Nuance PDF converter.
Well, Nuance support was not helpful at all.
Regards

just the "alias hyperlinks"(don't know the specific name) are not working.
if I write down www.hp.com it's just fine.
i've uploaded documents..
one is created with nuance pdf converter and the other with MS Office Word "save as pdf" function.
http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentnuanceconverted
http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentofficesafeas
so it seems like that nuance is not supporting "alias hyperlinks"..

Converting Smartform into PDF preview layout

Hi ABAP experts,
We have converted an existing invoice layout smart form into PDF layout in print preview mode. However, we have an issue with PDF layout alignment. Earlier, it used to print the documents correctly (layout is aligned properly at the middle of the page). But when use this 'PDF' preview layout (triggered from smart form) the layout is left aligned/ larger right margin (but not at the middle).
We have gone through the existing forum links on this PDF layout generating from smart form. But no luck on this left alignment issue. Do we need to modify the OTF data that is being populated in the layout. Can it be modifed with the position of the layout dynamically. Please advise.
Technical team has used "CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF" to populate the OTF data.
In SAP note # 323736 (issued in 2006), the below limitation was mentioned. But do we have any way to resolve this page alignment issue.
Page size for SAPscript/SmartForms: PDF conversion uses the page format from the form definition as page size for the PDF document. If this has been defined larger than the page size that is actually used (for example for INCH12, INCH11 and so on), a reduced document or a larger right margin are the
result when you view/print in Acrobat Reader.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satya

Hi Satya,
'We tried that option of "PDF!" but it didn't work for this smart form. Do we need to include/activate any option for this in the smart form.'..What do you mean by it didn't work for this smartform.?
Execute your smartform and when you are in the print preview mode of the form means you get the output, then type PDF! in the command and hit ENTER. A popup will get displayed if you are using windows 7
or Allow and decline type of radiobutton option will be displayed if you are using Windows XP. So just click Allow and your smartform output will be displayed in pdf. Now you can save the pdf output file while clicking the save option in PDF. Your smartform output will be aligned properly in the PDF.
You don't need any activation or any FM for converting the output in pdf for this.
Basically, we do this to attach the smartform output in test plan.
NOTE: This is for only to get the output in PDF while you are in Print preview of the form.
Regards
Syed

Image not displaying properly in pdf report

Hi,
I have imported a jpg image on the layout using Reports builder 6i folowing File-Import-Image. Its just a static image. Once i move this report to the server in binary mode and open it from apps(Quote pdf report), the report pdf has the image displayed with half side pitch blank color and the other half side with the actual picture. Can you guide what should i do to display the mage properly.
Thanks.

Hi,
Resolved this problem.
I had 2 more images in the same report, one jpeg & another one in gif format. I removed the image in gif format, converted it into jpeg format & imported back in report layout. Thus, making all three images in the report in the same format(Jpeg).
Once I have all images of the same format in a report. It works fine.
Regards.
