Export pdf to rtf with columns

When I export a PDF with columns to an .rtf file, the columns don't show up. Is there a way to set that up easily?

Hi ostarella,
Have you tried disabling OCR (optical character recognition)? Doing so can help retain formatting when you use ExportPDF. For instructions, see How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know if solves the problem.
Best,

  • How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

    I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks.  When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet.  But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page.  Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read.  I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched  from excel to numbers).

    One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it.  Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

  • The problem with the correct diagnosis sensitive when exporting PDF to RTF

    Welcome.
    I came across the following error when converting PDF files to RTF program "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro" - it happens that some files (unfortunately, they form the majority of those who support it) some letters for some reason are not properly converted - for example, instead of getting a word in capital letters word in which the first letter is small and the other large. This is just one of many examples - "POLICE" -> "pOLICE", etc.
    Can someone already encountered a similar problem?Is interesting to add that when I open this PDF in the "Adobe Reader" and choose "save as" -> "text" - the letters are incorrect.
    I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes - the text is translated automatically :-)
    PDF:
    RTF:

    Unfortunately, this was afraid ... I understand that there is no way to get around this? I do not have any influence on how the PDF files are created - just get there already, and I bring them into a fully editable (RTF).

  • Exporting PDF to Word with Acrobat 8 - Does this work?

    Has anyone had any success with a decent export-to-Word using Acrobat 8 (from CS3)?
    Acrobat 7 is worthless for this. I suspect the woeful results have much to do with how the PDF was made. If it came from InDesign or Illustrator, and has layers, that will no doubt flummox wonky old Word.
    Or, is it the wonky "export to Word" function that's wonky? I see there is also "Export to RTF" which is much the same file format as .doc. You get exactly the same crazy results.
    Here at my job, they have determined the best way to get a decent Word doc out of what we're publishing is to export each individual text box from InDesign as "RTF". Then open word and wrangle all the bits.
    This is time consuming and senseless - certainly the technology exists to convert PDFs to Word cleanly and perfectly.
    Or ... is Adobe just telling us, by quietly setting us up to fail, that we shouldn't be using Word at all? So they're not going to bother to make this work?
    Sadly, at my gig, we need to do this. Our clients are dinosaurs, and the average T-Rex is deathly afraid of Acrobat Reader and PDFs.

    < Frankly, I don't really give a lot of thought to employers who refuse PDFs for graphic design positions. It's like asking me to retouch a photo using MacPaint.>
    A resume is a document, not a design sample. A lot of employers do not want "designed" resumes at all. They want simple searchable text resumes. Even using special formatting features in Word can mess up their processes. HR departments could care less how pretty it is, all they want is data. You'll need to impress the design manager at the interview, after HR has passed it on. Even the hiring manager may find a highly designed resume to be annoying and difficult to read.
    Of course if that's not where you want to work, that's up to you, but you might be turning down excellent design positions by insisting they accept things your way instead of doing things their way! ;-)

  • Export pdf for screen with CMYK transparency

    so i created a pdf and it turns out it for on screen -not print.
    so i used transparency effects with CMYK.
    changing it to rgb messes up the look.
    how can i just flatten this stupid thing for web view?
    i exported smallet quality but changed the compression image quality to maximum. still looks dirty a bit...
    i just want to flatten it completely. its not being printed at all!

    I do a lot of print work for customers who then wish to post a copy to their websites. They still want it to look good, but they need a small file size. I've used the following trick - but JUST for the web, this should never be used for print. Export your file from InDesign using a lower downsampling setting - 150, 100, etc. Whatever setting is a good compromise for your images. Most designers have a lower setting that they use regularly for proofing purposes. Open the file in Acrobat Pro. Go to File Menu—>Save As—>More Options—>Postscript. Take the postcript file and run through Acrobat Distiller. Use the Standard setting (150 dpi). You will find that whether you have used your original CMYK or changed your output to RGB, your file size is significantly reduced (i.e. from over 3MB to 890 kb) and the images still render decently. You can play with the compression numbers to find just the right combo for you. (Printing a postscript from ID will not gain you the same file size savings, but I'm sure if you then ran the resulting PDF through the same procedure it would probably work similarly.) Again, ONLY use this method if you are posting to the web, it will not produce print-ready files.

  • How to export pdf as xml with scripting?

    I would like to convert many PDF files to XML format, using Acrobat's File -> Export -> XML 1.0 feature.  It looks like the scripting API is what I need, but I'm having trouble pulling all the pieces together.
    It looks like the Export feature is a plug-in and therefore does not have an explicit method in PDDoc or AVDoc or App.  I guess I need to call the plug-in through some generic mechanism.
    I probably need to
    Understand how to call a plug-in and
    Find the api for the Export plugin.
    Can someone point me to examples or other docs?  I'm not having any success with Google or forum searches.
    I'm new to Acrobat scripting, but not to programming in general.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    PNG doesn't support layers, so no you can't do it.

  • How to export PDF to HTML with JPEG image format (not PNG)?

    Hello,
    When I export a ".pdf" file to ".html", using Acrobat 11 Pro, the program creates a subdirectory with ".png" image files.
    I need these images to be in the ".jpg" format, not ".png".
    Do any of you know how to change this setting? I am assuming that it is not a permanent default...
    Thank you,
    brivera0

    Alas, I checked on my Acrobat XI before posting. That setting was removed.

    Now I want extract the indesign file as rtf format. I know math type is not directly support the indesign. So I want to get the links name and delete the links from the indesign document. My script is getting the link name. I don’t know how to delete the links and place the link name the relevant position.
    my script is:
    for(var myLinkCounter = app.activeDocument.links.length -1 ; myLinkCounter > 0; myLinkCounter --)
        myLink = app.activeDocument.links.item(myLinkCounter);
                myLinkName=myLink.name;
                //alert(myLinkName);
                    if (myLinkName.indexOf("Eqn"))
    Please help me for further............
    Thanks

  • Exporting PDF from InDesign with check boxes & name fields

    We are a high production print shop and do most of our proofing via PDF. We email the customer a PDF and they print it out, show it to their customer, mark changes, and fax it back to us. We'd like to start letting the customers email their proofs back to us with a check box marked for either OK or Changes Needed, as well as a place for a name and date.
    It appears that InDesign will not do this natively. I can make Acrobat do this, no problem. What I tried to do was to take a PDF of the "Proof OK" box with the check boxes and form fields and drop it into InDesign in hopes that the embedded PDF would hold it's interactive capabilities. It does not.
    Is there a way to make this work like I need without a bunch of scripting in a language I don't know well? Taking the hundred or so proofs each day and manually making them interactive PDFs is not really an option for obvious time reasons.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    This can't be done in ID, but I'd bet they can help you on the Acrobat Scripting forum. It shouldn't be too hard to do a script that only adds approval checkboxes and sets the document for commenting.

  • I want to print or export (PDF) a design with a indication of the used pantone colors without the separations so that our customer can see them (not CMYK)

    Before i used CS illustrator i was able to indicate the used pantone colors on a print or PDF with coreldraw.
    Can anyone tell me how to make such a print with CS6.
    My clients have to see the used Pantone colors in the design (not CMYK)

    Add your spot colors to your swatches panel (Window> Swatch Library> Color Books> Pantone+ Solid Coated>)
    In the fly-out menu on the swatches panel, select all unused swatches and delete. Also delete any unused swatch groups.
    File> Document set-up> make the bleed .5".
    Use the type tool to indicate the spot colors on the outside edge of the bleed area, make the type color match the indicated spot color.
    Save as PDF. This PDF printed with bleed will show the spot colors. Alternately, you could select "add crop marks and color bar" in the print settings, which should also indicate the spot colors.
    In InDesign you can add a Slug area to your page, where the spot colors would typically be added.

  • CS3:  Export PDF crash...located the source, now what?

    InDesign CS3 keeps crashing on page 86 or 87 of a file I'm trying to Export to PDF.  I know this from watching the progress bar move across the screen, everything is fine until the status box shows page 86/87, then poof, InDesign disappears and requests to send an error report.  I was under the impression this was being caused by the Export PDF settings.  With printer's marks enabled, the Export PDF crash occurs on page 86.  Turn printer's marks off and the crash happens on page 87.  So I tried all kinds of things with Export PDF settings but came up empty.
    Then I messed around with pages 86 and 87.  Removed text frames from page 86 and tried various combinations with Export PDF.  Did the same thing on page 87, and then combinations of 86 and 87 at the same time.  No good...keeps crashing.  I removed ALL content from pages 86 and 87 and the Export PDF still crashes, even with blank pages.
    I finally got a clue when moving text frames to other pages.  Both pages have 4 text frames each.  When I moved the top text frame on page 87 to a different page -- in this case I moved it to page 98 -- the Export PDF crashed on page 96.  Not page 98 where it was located, but page 96. Weird, but it gave me a clue.
    Long story short:
    Export PDF causes InDesign to crash on page 86 or 87 unless the uppermost text frame on page 87 is moved to a non-printing layer. The text frame can remain on page 87 or be on the pasteboard; either way, it must be non-printing to prevent a crash in Export PDF mode.
    Any suggestions?  I've already searched the text frame and nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye.  The text frame is necessary for a book project.  I can't consolidate it with another frame.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

    Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
    This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
    This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened -  and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
    looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
    I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

    Hi Eugene,
    Looking up the settings, they say the following:
    InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour"  (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
    InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management"   (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
    Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
    The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
    The results:
    InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
    InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
    So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
    Let me know your thoughts...

  • How to convert pdf to rtf format

    I am badly facing problem in exporting pdf to rtf please help me.

    Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.
