Export content in a pdf!

Hi,
Thanks in advance for the help .
We publish classroom books using Adobe indesign software. But when we do translations of the same book, all the development work which we done for english should be repeated same for each language.
My question: Is there a way to export all the content in the book through XML and import the content back after updations. Please suggest.
Thanks and best,
KG

I have heard from many translators who wanted to use PDF as a key part of their translation methods. Nobody succeeds. Stay in InDesign, or at least don't think of using PDF anywhere in the solution (except delivering reference material).

Problems in exporting Urdu data to pdf through Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
We have a designed a crystal report in latest Crystal Report SP2. The database used is MS Access, the data is in Urdu langauge. The data is displayed properly on crystal report main preview.
The problem is only when we export the report to PDF there is a data loss. The content is not properly exported.
Some additional unexpected characters are also getting inserted.
But the same content is proper if we export the report into .rtf or .doc format.
I have tried this with Arial Unicode MS and C-DAC UROT-GIST Galid fonts.
Please help.
Regards,
Sitaram Gaikwad

CR only support UTF-8 fonts.
Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

Namaste InDesign gurus,
I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
Steps I took:
I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
1) Itranslator
2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
(Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
-Ravi

Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
1) Itranslator
I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86) & New Beta Version
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
For more information, click here.
Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
For more information, click here.
So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

Video not playing after exporting to Epub or pdf

Really need some help here!
I was making an ebook project with Indesign CS6 and was planning on putting some interactive videos which can be played in the ebook. However, after I've followed all the instructions online for placing video content into indesign and export as either interactive pdf or Epub format, the video I placed cannot be played and not even showing on Epub file.
Could someone help me to solve this kind of situation? Is there any setting I should make and I did not for exporting interactive video content?
Thanks

Thanks for replying.
1) The video I placed was in mp4 format.
2) On Media panel, I checked Option: "Play on Page Load" ,
                                            Poster: "From Current Frame" ,
                                        Controller: "SkinOverAll"
                                           "Show Controller on Rollover"
It worked fine on preview mode.
Now that I know Adobe Digital Edition doesn't preview video, and when I exported as interactive PDF format, the video frame cannot be clicked or played.
3) I was trying to export as EPUB3 and interactive PDF format
4) I was using Adobe Digital Editions and I did not know it doesn't preview video.

How do i export text from a pdf?

I don't know which adobe to purchase in order to export text from a pdf and move it to a spreadsheet.... can someone please help?

Hi losjovenes1,
You can use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
If you need just a part of the PDF file in another format, you don’t need to convert the entire file and then extract the relevant content. You can select parts of a PDF file and save it in one of the supported formats: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, RTF, XML, HTML, or CSV.
Use the Select tool and mark the content to save.
Right-click on the selected content and choose Export Selection As.
Select a format from Save As Type list and click Save.

hi,
all the UI elements in the adobe form are generally connected to your web-dynpro Context.
whatever you type in the online adobe form is reflected in the respective context attributes of the dynpro Context of the view where "ur Interactive form UI element is".
that means you can yourself fill the contents of ur interactive form by working on the get/set methods of the context attributes.
Likewise you can clear the form by setting all context attributes to blank eg ""
<b>interactive form has two imp properties:-</b>
<b>*dataSource</b>
data source points to the node all whose context attributes will be made available in the interactive form
<b>*pdfsource</b>
points to the context attribute which will hold the pdf.
note that the type of this pdfSorce attribute will be binary.
if you still have doubts.
give me your gmail mail id. i 'll send a tutorial.
with regards,

Table of contents in the pdf documentation

Hi folks,
It is me again, hehe.
I tried to do a pdf printed documentation for an already
existing RoboHelp project, and the points in the TOC are totally
weird. Weird in what sense? I have the major points of the content
mentioned briefly, or not at all, though they are in the normal
TOC, however the topic "Licence agreement" is detailed point by
point, and I do not need that.
My question is, does anybody know where the content of the
TOC in the pdf printed documentation could be configured?
Everything now is working nice and dandy besides that small
thing, and I would like to have it straightened out.
Thank you guys,
Bogdan

This is what I also thought, however whenever I was trying to
do the documentation in pdf, I was getting a short TOC with an
overemphasis on the licence agreement, which I do not remember
asking for.
I tried to find where I could control that, and I did not
find anything, so I posted this issue in the forum waiting for
someone to give me some hints.
As I was experimenting further more, I thought about the .doc
where I can modify the TOC easily as I have the Office installed on
my system.
As I was trying that, I forgot to remove the checkmark from
the "create pdf" and I got both the doc as well as the pdf
documentations. To my surprise I found out that both documents,
being identical in content, were showing more in the TOC as my
previous pdf was, though I did not change anything in the settings,
because I did not find anything to change.
So, I opted for creating the doc, modify the TOC (it still
has an overemphasis on the licence agreement, however I have enough
emphasis on the other topics now), and export the doc to pdf.
That would be the whole story.

Export to Excel or PDF Custom tag...

After scouring the web I've put together a custom tag that
will allow HTML data to be streamed to an Excel file or a PDF.
First I created the custom tag called "contentWrapper":
<cfsilent>
<cfparam name="url.exportType" default="">

<cfswitch expression="#url.exportType#">

<cfcase value="pdf,flashpaper">
<cfif thisTag.executionMode eq "end">
<cfdocument format="#url.exportType#">
<cfoutput>
<html>
<head>
<title>Export to PDF or Flashpaper</title>
</head>
<body>
#thisTag.generatedContent#
</body>
</html>
<cfdocumentitem type="header"><span
style="font-face: Verdana; font-size: 0.7em">Footer
Content</span></cfdocumentitem>
<cfdocumentitem type="footer"><span
style="font-face: Verdana; font-size:
0.7em">#dateFormat(now(),"short")#
#timeFormat(now(),"short")#</span></cfdocumentitem>
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
</cfif>
</cfcase>


<cfcase value="excel">
<cfif thisTag.executionMode eq "end">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="filename=export.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel"
variable="#ToBinary( ToBase64( thisTag.GeneratedContent.Trim() )
)#">
</cfif>
</cfcase>

</cfswitch>
</cfsilent>
Next I place my custom tag around a HTML table:

<tags:contentWrapper>

<table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="2"
cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td align="center"
bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><strong>Custom
tag</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Export to Excel or
PDF</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Example</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
</tr>
</table>

</tags:contentWrapper>

Finally I used two form buttons inconjunction with the
onClick event to open my PDF or Excel file:
<cfoutput>
<table cellpadding="" cellspacing="">
<tr>
<td>

<input type="button" onClick="window.open('
http://#HTTP_HOST#/#SCRIPT_NAME#?#QUERY_STRING#&exporttype=pdf');"
value="Export To PDF">
<input type="button" onClick="window.open('
http://#HTTP_HOST#/#SCRIPT_NAME#?#QUERY_STRING#&exporttype=excel');"
value="Export To Excel">

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfoutput>
Voila.

Did u tried the first method? i.e directly exporting the analysis to excel?
Thanks.

Fireworks CS6 export all pages as PDF crash

I cannot for the life of me Export all pages as pdf from FW CS6 on my Mac. All software is fully up-to-date. I have many times Exported scucessfully before, but now the same file is no longer exportable. I'm going crazy. The source PNG file is a 15 MB file of 68 pages, it is filled with hotspots that should export an interactive PDF. (I deleted all of the "unused library symbols" (even though that deletes symbols that are actually in use)). My Mac is a PowerMac 8GB RAM... I can't remeber the processor setup... I can tell you later when I'm at work...
I have been using FW since late 90s. FW crashes a dozen or more times a day these days. I'm tired of fighting it. Adobe has frankly been woeful in updating FW (on the Mac at least). It is an excellent product... but at best an unfinished product. I've sent bug reports through official channels for years and every year Adobe fails to fix them. It is quite shocking really.
I hope I can get a quick answer, or else my job will become much more difficult.

Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
Any ideas?

Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

Problem to export a report (to PDF) after converting my reports to CR13

I have an old project with reports developped using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1). I want to convert them so I can now use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (with .NET 3.5).
I installed Crystal Reports for VS2010 and I converted my reports to the new format. Unfortunately, one of my reports is not working anymore.
My ASP.NET application generate the report and export it as a PDF. I use CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export().
Everytime I run this method, an exception is thrown...

StackTrace:
I also tried to export the report (using PDF format) at design time with the "Export Report" button in Preview mode. It didn't work. But, I can export the report at design time using another format type (like XML).
The old version of te report (using .NET 1.1, CR9) work fine. As I said, other reports in that same project work perfectly.
Is someone have an idea of what's wrong!
Thanks!
Max.

The most common cause of this problem is having very large detailed images, or lots and lots of images in your report. The Crystal Report engine changed a lot from 9.1 to 13. The big change was from 9.1 to 10 though when we started using the RAS InProc engine.
The Crystal reporting engine is not efficient at handling the images and it can cause memory issues like you are seeing. As a test, try suppressing the images that show up frequently in your report and retry your export. If it works you'll have your answer and you'll need a new creative way to design your report without so many images.
