FM 10 and save as PDF/Distiller issue

OS: XP Pro sp3 and completely up to date.
Acrobat 9 Pro and up to date
Just installed FM10 (+ updated) and I also uninstalled Acrobat 5.
When users go to Save As PDF it tells them they must have Distiller v5.0 or later, it fails to recognise or utilize Distiller 9..
Trying to figure out a way to get it to work w/o reinstalling Acrobat.
TIA!

If you take a look at the forum threads, you'll pick up pretty quickly that SaveAs PDF isn't really a recommended way to create a PDF because it has a long history of bugs.
To debug your current situation though, have you installed the Microsoft HotFix for all PostScript printers, including Distiller? This is the baseline for any PDF work on XP systems...

After that, can you Print to the Adobe PDF printer on your system? Both from other applications and from Frame (in Frame's Print box, check Generate Acrobat Data and uncheck Print To File)?

Will the 8600 scan and save as PDF legal size documents?

Hey there @jadoue , welcome to the forums!
Yes, you can scan a PDF as legal size and save it. Check out the screen shot I posted below as an example of what you are looking for in the printer software that is installed on your computer.

I can't print an email and "save as pdf"

Since the last system upgrade, which I believe is Yosemite 10.10.1, I have not been able to print emails and save them as a pdf file. I cannot save an attachment as a pdf file. The problem is somewhat recent and has just happened after the last upgrade or possibly the one prior. The problem is only applicable to emails; I am able to save other documents as a pdf file; just not an email or an attachment. This is on a MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

For some unknown reason, it is working this morning. I shut down my computer overnight and this morning it is working. I re-booted 3 times yesterday with not result. Now I can save the attachment and print the email and save as pdf. Gremlins I guess. However, thank you for your concern and help on the issue.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Unable to digitally sign and save a PDF document

I am currently using ADOBE ACROBAT 8.0 Professional (Ver 8.1.0). I provide proofreading service for a client. The client provides me with a PDF which I use the comment and mark up tool to indicate required changes. Once all of the comments are complete, I mark the document approved or disapproved and attach a digital signature.
Recently, many files that I have recieved from the client will not allow me to sign and save the PDF. I can save the PDF without the signature but not when it is digitally signed. The error reads:
"The document could not be saved. A number is out of range"
I queried my client to find out if they have made any changes. They have recently upgraded to Illustrator 4 and they create the PDF's for me from the Illustrator files they work from. There are four teams using the same Illustrator program but not all of them are producing files that I cannot sign and save.
Can anyone tell me what the error indicates? Is there a property assigned to the document that I can not recognize that refers to this problem.
Since the files I work on contain proprietary information, I prefer not to attach them to this forum. If anyone is interested in helping, I will share a file to fully explain my problem.

I will try that, thank you.

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

Create and save a .pdf file

Afternoon! I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great. It opens and displays well. My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it? My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

FrameMaker 10 and Save as PDF

Why does it take so long to produce a PDF when you use Save as PDF? I was running prior, FrameMaker 8 and on XP platform. I still use XP, but it takes a long time before the PDF is produced. Is there a patch/update/something that will speed this performance?

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Generate SSRS Report and save as PDF in SharePoint

Hi,
I am working on a SharePoint 2010 Visual WebPart that lets a user click a button to generata a SSRS report and save the report in a SharePoint Library as a PDF file. Code is mentioned below:

The WebPart works fine in my local server and even on another development testing server. However, once deployed to the live server that has claims authentication it stops working and throws an error that says:
"Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
<RSError xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reportingservices"><MoreInformation><Message>An unknown error occurred with the Reporting Services endpoint on this SharePoint site. Contact the SharePoint site administrator for help.</Message></MoreInformation></RSError>
If I open the report manually in SharePoint Site, it works fines it even works fine when try to view in a WebPart.
Can someone help me with this ?

Hi Vicky,
Based on the error message, it is related to the service account for reporting service.
If the Report Server service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly.
Configure the service account to run under a domain user account as follows:
1. Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.
2. On the Service Account page, click Use another account, enter a domain user account, and click Apply.
3. Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application Restart the Report Server service.
Here is a detailed MSDN article for your reference:

When I Print a Document to PDF and Save a PDF the format displays differently.

We use PDF with Microsoft Dynamics GP. When we Print a document to PDF the format of the form is fine. When we SAVE a document to PDF the format is off. We believe we have ruled out application issues.

We are opening the document with Adober Reader. The same Application was used for both documents.
This image was printed from the Application to a PDF and opened in Adobe Reader.
This is the same document from the same application, but when we SAVE to a PDF the format of the gridlines is off.

Is there a way to create a contact box on photoshop and save as PDF?

Can someone explain how or where to find a tutorial to create a contact box on photoshop then save as a pdf? Thank you!

Contact box? Your question is not clear perhaps if there was one and only one standard contact box on planet Earth there would probably be more the one correct answer to you question. Please describe what your desired in the PDF file. If you want something that can be filled in like a contact form you may need to use a different Adobe product like Acrobat. Or something to create an HTML Page with a contact form.

How do you change the dpi in Illustrator and save as pdf?

I've created a file in Illustrator cs4 that I need to change the 350 dpi of and to save as a pdf before having it sent out to be printed. I've found ways to change the ppi...but will that do the same thing as changing the dpi? Any advice would be much appreciated!

This might explain it
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370714
The device has the dpi not the file itself the file has a ppi resolution the screens are prepared in lpi.
The above explains it the highest resolution I have ever been asked for was 350 ppi for offset printing 300ppi is normal.
In other word you do not control the dpi as Steve mentions.

Dynamically change of filename and save as pdf on LINUX

Hello,
currently we're facing the following problems:
We have to create a report that will have to run several times. It should be avoided that the rdf has to be called more than one time.
After the run, the report should create a pdf which has to be saved in a directory on LINUX with a distinct filename e.g. rep_nnnnnn_hhmiss.pdf.
How can we implement that?
Best regards
Markus

Hi,
You can use Advanced Distribution to save the output file using a name based on a report variable.
It's fairly involved so you may need to look up Creating Advanced Distributions in the Oracle documentation.
But essentially you need to create a distribution XML file that looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE destination SYSTEM "file:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/dtd/distribution.dtd">
<destinations>
<foreach>
<file id="DEST1" name="\temp\&<rpt_name>.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</foreach>
</destinations>
rpt_name will be a field of the same name in the report. Set this field in the main query in the data model, perhaps using a sequence and sysdate in your case. You will also need to set the Repeat On property on the Main Section in Paper Layout to the name of the group that this field is in.
Then you just need to add the following parameters to the URL you use to call the report:
DISTRIBUTE=yes&DESTINATION=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/distribution/filename.xml
With Destination being the name and location of the distribution XML file.
The reports server then uses the XML file to control the output of the report.
Cheers,
Toby.

Photoshop CS4 and save as PDF

Is there a way to make Photoshop CS4 save layers in a PDF that are accessible in Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator?
I had to do an ad layout for a weekly newspaper and when I saved it as a PDF from photoshop, it retained the layers as long as it was opened in Photoshop but not in other programs. In desperation, I opened the file in Illustrator and saved it and the layers were there in Acrobat and Illustrator but of course not InDesign. I have InDesign CS2 which was part of the CS2 suite, so I can't upgrade to CS4 unless I purchase the full version. I rarely do ads, so investing the money and time in InDesign doesn't seem like a cost effective solution.
Any thoughts?

No. But you can save a PSD who's layers will mostly work in Illustrator and InDesign.
The problem is that Acrobat, InDesign and Illustrator use a different transparency/compositing model than Photoshop and the video apps use. So the appearance can't be completely preserved.
