Fixing Exported PDF documents that do not display drop shadows

Now, what is the solution to this problem?:
iWork Pages: The drop shadows in Pages and Keynote are generated by a component of Mac OS X. When you view iWork-generated PDF files in Preview, you'll see these shadows. However, if you view the PDF with a third-party reader that doesn't use this component, the shadows will be missing.

Hi sgfoto,
This is not the exact solution but just a trick.
Try this:
1. How about open your file and Export into images i.e *.png, or *.tif.
2. Save into one folder.
3. Create New file.
4. Paste all of the image, clue: one image for one page.
5. Then Export as a *.pdf file.
Hope this may help and give you an idea.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Pdf documents that can not be printed nor copied

I do sell some documents through the net, and I do not want to be printed, even saved on a drive.
Please, is there any way to do it?
[ link removed by moderator ]

Impossible to stop people saving copies; PDF files don't stream.
You can prevent printing using PDF encryption but only a DRM-based solution is crack-proof, and even then users can always take screenshots.

I need to able to print a pdf that is locked. It has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this?

The PDF has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this? HELP!

Sorry I thought was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
Which one do you have?

Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

I have a suspicion you're working with a scanned document that has had OCR run to recognize the text. The recognized text may be stored on an invisible layer above the image of the text, and that is what you're toucing up. It's invisible, so you don't see it, but retains the changes, so exporting produces the new edits.
When you run OCR to recognize scanned text,, try using the ClearScan option, instead of Searchable Text. See this help page on Acrobat (this is for version X, but still applies):
Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Recognize Text - General Settings dialog box

Is there a way to make a mobile number clickable in an inDesign PDF document, that will open a Texting or Instant Messaging Application?

Thoughts are to allow groups of individuals mobile numbers to be shared across larger organizations, from within a PDF document, that the mobile numbers would be clickable, and open up a Text or instant messaging application on either the computer, tablet, or smart phone, for instant communication.

Exporting PDF document to Excel. When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of people the Excel page shows all the names on one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible. What am I doing wrong?

Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Although I am using the same script as the fields above in the columm, the script eventually stops calculating and I can't figure out why. Is there a limit of how many calculation scripts you can enter? I will attempt to attach my pdf as soon as I figure out how. Thanks.

For e31 :
var e30 = +getField("e30").value ;
var c31 = +getField("c31").value ;
if ( (e30 !== 0) && (c31 !== 0) ) event.value = e30 + c31 ;
else event.value = "";
for e32 :
var e31 = +getField("e31").value ;
var c32 = +getField("c32").value ;
if ( (e31 !== 0) && (c32 !== 0) ) event.value = e31 + c32 ;

Java console doesn't show any error... That's why I am wondering if it's not a limitation issue... or memory issue, because they are maybe too many rows or something....
The c value is not calculated.

Fillable Forms Are Not Readable in PDF Readers That Are Not Adobe Reader

I have created a number of forms with the help of Adobe Acrobat. I saved the blank form as a templet of sorts. I'll fill it out, then lock it with a checkbox and javascript and then I'll save it as a different name and email it to my client as a quote, or something like that. That should be it, but if they open the PDF in a PDF reader that is NOT Adobe Reader then they will see a blank form with no form fields to fillout/click on or anything.
I've run into this problem a number of times with people using smartphones to open and view the quote. I know that the iOS and Android systems have the ability to download Adobe Reader as an app. However Android, I'm not sure about iOS, has a program defaultly installed on the phone that can look at PDF files (I know this because I tried on my phone). When people open up the form in one of those programs I get a situation like I discribed above, but if they open the same file in Adobe Reader, be it on their phone or their computer, it works just fine.
Why is this? Please tell me there is a way to fix it. Thank you in advance for everyones help.

The rules of how PDF work are written down in a big (1000 page) book. However, people who create apps often leave out great big parts of the book. You can't fix this, only tell them that they must use Adobe Reader, and be prepared to help them do that. May people don't realise, for example, that viewing a PDF in Chrome or FireFox won't use Adobe Reader even if it is installed. And on iOS you cannot change the default PDF viewer, only send PDFs to Adobe Reader later.

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container
Was there a new version of AIR released recently that breaks the display of a PDF through the HTMLLoader?
I've been experiencing problems displaying a PDF in a container lately.
AIR applications that worked a couple weeks ago, are not working now even though no changes have been made to the source.
To focus on the problem, I created an application that narrows my focus to the broken feature. It's sole purpose is to display a simple PDF through AIR.
The example can be found here.
http://www.appfoundation.com/blogs/giametta/2009/04/14/render-pdf-in-adobe-air-with-pdf-sc aling/
The code used is exactly the same as the one found in the above example, except I swapped the url of the PDF to the following.
http://www.sfbike.org/download/map.pdf
It's pretty straightforward.
But, when I compile and press the "do it" button, nothing displays in the VBOX.
Using an HTTP Sniffer the "GET" to my url seems to be working fine and, I get a "200 OK" return status, but nothing is displayed in the container.
Here is my configuration.
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
- AIR 1.5
- Flex 3.0.2
- Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
- Firefox 3.5.4
Attached is the source code mxml as a txt.

Well, like I said, I don't either. Even when loading a very simple PDF, I just see this crash:

Maybe someone on the AIR team will have a more knowledgable response, it looks like a problem with how Webkit is loading up the PDF viewer perhaps.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.
