File Information in PDF Output

Does anyone know why InDesign is putting the file info outside of the crop marks? Screen shot below:
We have an outside slug area of 24 pts defined and at first I thought it was going to that but it is actually about 4pts IN from that. We've also done that same thing with the slug area on other files but they always put the file info on the inside of the crop marks.
I think it might just be that the small trim trim (just 4.25 inches wide) is simply too small. When I output as spreads, it puts the info inside the crops on the spread pages but not on the single pages.
However, when I output as spreads I don't get the file name from CS3, only the page number as shown in the below screen shot.
Does anyone know if not including the filename is a bug in CS3? CS5 seems to output the filename as I would expect.
For anyone who cares: On a couple of series we do we take InDesign's PDF output and manipulate it for various things, sometimes cropping the sides of the pages tight to the crop marks. With InDesign putting the file info outside the crops we can't do that without lopping off the crop marks.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Ken

OK so I've narrowed it down a bit. All of this in CS3.
Turns out that when you export a single file to PDF spreads it includes the filename, but it DOESN'T include the filename (only page numbers) when you choose "Export Selected documents to PDF..." from the book fly-out.
Again, any suggestion to get that filename to come out would be apprecited.
Thanks!
Ken

  • Excel file trucation in PDF output file

    Having problem with PDF output file as the imported EXCEL table gets truncated - approx. the left 1/2 upper left corner is the only part of the table that appears in the PDF file.  Master file displays correctly in PM. No apparent memory issue so any thoughts? Thanks.

    A bit more info please.
    Windows or Mac, and which versions?
    Which version of PM?
    How did you import the speadsheet into PM?
    How did you create the PDF?
    Cropping and displacement of meta-files when creating PDFs from PM is well known and there are work-arounds.
    The long term answer is move on to InDesign.

  • Generate PDF Output is grayed out

    Hello everyone,
    I am using Robohelp 9 as trial since yesterday. My problem is that I cannot create PDF-Files because the "PDF Output" Button is greyed out.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    kind regards
    Robinn225

    If you are creating the printed output from the SSL (single source layout) you should see a check box to tick rather than a button. I'm guessing you are using a menu option and haven't yet created a PDF SSL.
    I assume you did install the PDF option or already had a suitable alternative.

  • I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

    i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

    Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
    With Acrobat XI installed:
    "File - Save As Other"  --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
    If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
    During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
    So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
    The export will be of the OCR content.
    Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
    This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
    Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
    Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    Be well...

  • PDF outputs continually crash after editing an html source file

    I have English and multiple localized versions of a RoboHelp webhelp project. I have created several PDF outputs for the localized versions. I can generate the PDFs fine when I don't touch any of the html source files.
    However, I had to make a change to one of the html source files to remove a <dl> from the source file. After making the change to the source file in an outside text editor (Notepad ++), I went back to RoboHelp to generate the PDF, and the PDF output crashed.
    The reason I was using an outside text editor is that when I tried to edit the <dl> HTML tags in RH, its HTML editor deleted all text within the tags being edited.  There was no undo at this point.  In anotehr attempt to use the RH Design editor, RH didn’t delete the <dd> or <dt> tags when those tag styles were changed to <h4> and <p>, respectively. RH inserted the new html wrapper inside the existing ones, instead of replacing it.
    Also, during the PDF generation process, a Visual Basic error message will appear dozens of times stating that the application was interrupted.  I must press OK to continue for each error message.
    What gives with the PDF generation failing like this?

    I hate to say it but it sounds like something you are doing in the external editor is not liked by RoboHelp.
    It could just be the way that text editor codes the file. I use EditPad Pro and that has various options for text encoding. My guess is your editor is not set to what RoboHelp expects.
    Aftr that what I would do here is create a new one topic project and recreate the problem, with the minimum of text. It may help you spot the code RoboHelp does not like.

  • How to generate a PDF output using batch file in 10G

    Hello,
    I am using .bat file to generate a report PDF output. I have done this many times in 6i but for 10G I am unable to do the same.
    Can someone please look at the syntax below and let me know where I am going wrong.
    I understand that reports are different for 6i and 10G specially .rep file but I am sure we should be able to generate a PDF file using 10G. Please let me know.
    Thanks
    IQ
    Contents of .bat file follow
    ECHO Opening parameter form. Please do not close this window.
    C:\
    FOR /F "tokens=1 " %%I IN ('time /t') DO (SET _TIME=%%I)
    FOR /F "tokens=2 " %%I IN ('date /t') DO (SET _DATE=%%I)
    SET EXP_DATE=%_DATE:~6,4%%_DATE:~0,2%%_DATE:~3,2%_%_TIME:~0,2%%_TIME:~3,2%
    SET FILENAME=SEND_EMAIL_%EXP_DATE%_%USERNAME%.PDF

    RWCONVERTER REPORT=C:\Users\Documents\send_email.rep USERID=scott/tiger@ORCL1 ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE
    DESNAME=C:\Users\\%FILENAME% PRINTJOB =NO

    Rwconverter is not used to run reports:
    rwconverter (Reports Converter) enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another.
    I think you mean rwrun:
    rwrun (Reports Runtime) runs a report by starting its own in-process server (not to be confused with the default in-process Reports Server), which runs in the same JVM as the rwrun process.
    This bat file has to run on the server. There is no Reports installation on the client anymore.
    If you want to run a report from a client, you can make a bat file that calls the report url

  • Is there a pdf output file size limitation?

    Hi,
    I have an rtf invoice template that worked fine in test environments. Now that it has been migrated to Production, it works except for this one invoice that has created a meta data XML file that is 2 MB, which is not that large, is it? Additionally, I cannot open the metadata file in html, it just hangs, but can in a text editor, so I have been chopping up the file into smaller pieces and can get pdf output of around 175 pages worth.
    I've tried it with different sets of data from this file, and they work, just not the whole file. Is there some setting required for this to work?

    Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
    I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?

  • Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system

    Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system.
    If anybody has easy way to make those forms...
    Please suggest...

    Hi Shabeer,
    the first thing is that you are running on a very very low RAM.
    For ECC 6.0 with dual stack SAP System to run you should have atleast 4 GB of RAM.
    For your Dispatcher issue kindly check the status of your Oracle database and the connection from SAP To Database.
    You can check the oracle status using brtools utility.

  • I am not able to modify the text in pdf output file using pdf editor

    Hi,
    We have upgrade the xml 5.6.1 in server level. After upgrading this, we are not able to modify the pdf output file. Previously we used to modify text and delete text in pdf file which is generated by oracle Application. As of now we cann't upgrade higher version. Can you suggest what to do?.

    Check the xdo configuration file option in the user guides. There should be options that allow / disallow modifying text specifically. If you are in EBS, you should be able to change the configuration file options from the XML Publisher Administrator UI.

  • PDF output file from Image Capture corrupted

    This problem occurs only when scanning multiple page documents into image capture, the lower 1/4 of the first 2 pages are unreadable blurs. The page shows up ok in the Image capture preview window, but the PDF output is corrupted. The printer is a Brother MFC-7820N, I am scanning 150 dpi grayscale, US letter, no image correction, to PDF. The problem occurs with both of my computers, Quad G5 10.5.8, and a MacBook 10.5.8, this has happened since I purchased the printer, I was running 10.4 at the time. I have just scanned 1 page at a time with no problem, but now I have a large amount of documents to scan and I get the corrupt files. If anyone has seen this and found a solution, I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Ah perfect, you made me aware of a feature kink I didn’t know about! When you import stuff using Image Capture, it goes into /private/tmp/Image Capture_Import.(string of numbers and letters).
    You can navigate there by going to the Finder, hitting Command-Shift-G, and typing in /private/tmp—if the folder still exists, as it usually does for some time, sometimes even until the next restart or so—you can see the folders which should include one or more of thoe Image Capture_Import.something folders and find your files.
    Incidentally, if you want to find a “system” file, i.e., one that’s in a location normally hidden by the Finder, you can:
    1. Open up a new Spotlight/Find window in the Finder, and start searching by name.
    2. Next to where it says Search: This Mac… etc. there’s a + button. Click that, then
    3. From the dropdown menu choose Other… and look in the list for “System files” and check the “In Menu” checkbox for it.
    4. Hit OK.
    5. Choose “System Files” which is now in the dropdown, choose “are included” from the next dropdown.
    Be careful what you do with files you find using this method. It will show everything, including files essential to running your Mac properly, so unless you know exactly what you’re doing, don’t just start dragging files off this window onto your Desktop or anything, try to copy them instead by option-dragging (holding down the option key while dragging)—that way, you’re only making copies, not moving a file from where it’s supposed to be, and your Mac can find it.
    Hope this helps! If you can’t find your files this way, there are other programs which can undelete and perform other operations to recover data… this happens to everyone, no matter how long you’ve been a user.

  • Chinese character in PDF output file ?

    I would like to cut and paste information from a word file onto a pdf file, as well as draw lines onto the pdf file.  How can I accomplish that task?  Is there software I can purchase?

    Hi jgallu7382,
    The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
    I hope that answers your questions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Will saving an eps file as a pdf change color output?  Digital printing.

    Hello, I recently sent in a reprint order of a client's package label file, and the color output is quite different.   The first times I ordered these labels, I sent in an eps file.  At the printer's request, I submitted the file as a pdf this time.  I can't see any differences bewteen the eps and pdf  files.   They're both RGB, the color values are sttill the same in the file.   Should the file type change result in such a different output?  Thanks for any advice...

    Switching from a RGB color mode to CMYK gives the same colors on Screen? Since the CMYK is a subset of the colors available in RGB this is not usually the case.

  • Regression testing on PDF output files from Reports?

    My current client is looking to do more automated regression testing of the output (content) of their reports, most of which are output from Reports6i into Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. Is anyone currently using or aware of a tool (QARun, WinRunner, etc.) that will do this? (Most of the tools can do a binary comparison of the PDF files that were output, but we need something that will look into the PDF files themselves and tell us where any differences are found in the actual content (text) of the report itself.)
    Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

    Dear Nick,
    Just ensure a printer is configured. This can be done by typing in echo $PRINTER at the $Prompt.
    If it returns null then configurea printer and i fell this should resolve your problem,
    Since it did resolve my problem.
