FrameMaker 8 to PDF: disappearance of blocks of text disappear

Since updating to FrameMaker 8, have been unable to generate a usable PDF file. Blocks of text are missing from the PDF.
After "repairing" FrameMaker 8, able to generate accurate PDF file once or twice, then problem starts again.
Anyone know what this is all about?

Indirectly. The original link was to the thread in the Webx forums where this was discussed. ANY link prior to April 2009 to the old Adobeforums will not work. No provision was made in the Jive format forums for updating all of the existing links when the forums were migrated.
Thank you for posting the link to the blog where the hotfix is mentioned.
FWIW, the old link was to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1235530

PDF Table action block is repeating first row in each page.

Hi All,
There is a strange problem in PDF Table action block. I am paasing one xml variable in the pdf table action block. But when it creates the final pdf - I can see the very first row of the xml is getting repeated as first row of each page along with the header.
Is there any solution - not to reapeat the first row of the xml in each page ?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work? Is there any other way to recover it? Thanks!

Hi @Pat Willener,
since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

After installing an update to Acrobat on my Windows computer, the option to print to .pdf disappears from my printer options menu in all programs. What can I do?

This is the second time I updated my Adobe Acrobat X Pro program and the option to "Print to .pdf" disappears from my word processing program and all other programs I am running. Last time I uninstalled Acrobat and reinstalled and that fixed the problem, but that was a long process. Is there any other way to restore the option?

Do you mean there is no Adobe PDF printer listed? You can check the Start>Devices & Printers list and be sure it appears there.

After updating iBooks on my iPad all my PDFs disappeared how do I get them back? I reinstalled the app again and they showed up and thn they disappeared, what is going on?

By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

HTML component with PDF disappears on rotate/scale

I have a PDF loading into an <mx:HTML> source. This works fine. However, in my multi-touch application, I need to drag/rotate/scale its wrapping container. Drag works fine. However, when it rotates/scales, the PDF disappears.
From livedocs:
"If certain visual properties of an HTMLLoader object that contains a PDF document are changed, the PDF document will become invisible. These properties include the filters, alpha, rotation, and scaling
properties. Changing these properties renders the PDF content invisible until the properties are reset. The PDF content is also invisible if you change these properties of display object containers that contain the HTMLLoader object."
Is this still a limitation on Air 2/Hero? Is there a workaround so the container/HTML/PDF can support rotating/scaling?
I want the multi-touch wall users to be able to make the PDF bigger, rotate the container/pdf, and drag it around the wall. My drag/rotate/scale work very well on any other component, just not pdf.
Please explain why it disappears and if there is a workaround.
Thanks,
Don

I never did find a solution for this. The Reader just doesn't support it. What I ended up doing back then was to use ColdFusion's CFPDF tag to automatically convert each page in the PDF to an png, then do the touch gestures on the pngs.

Why does left side text in my fillable PDF disappear when I export from ID6?

Hi there! Looking for urgent feedback on fillable forms.
I created a form using InDesign 6 - mainly text fields using the interactive: convert to text field function. I used these settings: Event: Release on Tap; Printable, Required, Scrollable; Font size: auto.
When I export the form using "Interactive PDF", what happens is that text entered to a fillable line is cut off on at the beginning of the line. Only half of the first character will appear.
I tried adjusting the width of the interactive text box, looking at paragraph alignment settings, and field settings in Acrobat X and can't figure out how to change text alignment within a field.
Seems simple enough, but haven't found a forum or tutorial that speaks to this. Help!
Many thanks,
Deanna

Why bother using it?
Pages '09 works! A difficult concept for most I know.

HOw do I create a new PDF file that incorporates the text changes I made in the previous PDF file?

All of my edits appear properly in the saved file but as pop-ups etc. that cannot be seen when I print a copy.
This seems like an obvious thing to want to do, but I cannot find out how to do it from any of the documentation (including video tutorials).

Something to try:
Create a Comment Summary report (a PDF file).
There are several approaches that can be used.
--| Work out of the Comment List (Comments > Comment View > Show Comments List or click the overlapped comment bubbles at the bottom of the Navigation panel)
--| Comments > Show Comments List
--| Comments > Summarize Comments
--| Comments > Print with Comments Summary
In the Summarize Options dialog, select the desired layout, paper size, how comments are to be sorted and font size.
Select Include All comments. If you want to sort by review status, author, comment type, etc then go into the Comments List.
The tool bar provides various means of configuration.
When the Print dialog is present, under the "Properties" button (upper right), use the drop-down menu for 'Comments and Forms' to select "Document and Markups".
The imprint on the paper will have the PDF page content and annotations (comments) provided in the PDF by use of the Text Edit tools.
So, you can provide the text entered into a Text Edit's pop-up two ways.
First - You have the PDF of the Comments Summary Report.
Second - You have the hardcopy of this PDF.
Of note is that, with Adobe's Tech Comm Suite, you can author in FrameMaker or MS Word, output a PDF for comments and review, then bring these comments back into the source authoring file.
Be well...

Speaking selected blocks of text in preview

Hello everyone.
Hi, I am a fan of Speech functionality and use 'Start Speaking' in Preview for reading blocks of text back to myself. Whatever text was selected is what would be read. Now suddenly, every time I try to do this, it starts reading from the start of the document, regardless of what is selected. I discovered that selecting View > PDF Display > Single Page instead of Single Page Continuous makes it at least start reading from the beginning of the page I am on, but this is still annoying in most cases. The behaviour works as before in web browsers, but not Preview.
Any idea why this is? Did I change something? Why would the behaviour suddenly change?
Thanks

Never mind , a post in the sidebar answered the question.

Muse Slows Down on Large Blocks of Text

Hi...
I'm a new user to using Adobe Muse 2.3 (trial version) so forgive me if this has been answered before. I'm having big problems when I insert large blocks of text, I have tried both cut and pasting and placing text in Muse but when I do Muse seems to slow down to almost a crawl. When I try to add more text by typing the text seems to "lag" onto the screen instead of appearing straight away, also adding styles I have made to the text takes longer than it should and in some cases I get a muse "not responding" message in the titlebar. The muse file itself is only 720k so not very big in size and I have 8GB of ram so I don't think that's the problem, it's only text after all.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?, it's really annoying because it virtually makes the program un-useable and I cannot continue with my project.
Thank you in advance for any answers or information you can give me.

Thank you for the reply, since text is "content" there really should not be any reason why it can't handle long blocks of text. I pasted in a block of text that contained over 1k+ words. This is a site I'm working on for someone else, it's for quite a technical peice of software and he wants the use and operation information on the website. I explained it would be probably best suited in a pdf or help file but he insists hence the long blocks of text. I updated Adobe AIR and flash and that has made a slight difference but still the performance isn't that great.
I will try and break up the text into text boxes to see if it will help but this seems to be an inefficient way of doing things. I'm hoping that Muse will have some optimisations for longer text flows in future.
Thank you.

How to create a pdf/a-1b with a text field

hello, I'm trying to execute a very simple task: create a pdf/a-1b containig a text field.
using Acrobat XI pro, I created a simple pdf form with 1 form field of type text , then tried to save as pdf/A-1b. The pdf is saved but the form field is removed from resulting pdf.
Here in detail the steps I made:
0) configure adobe pdf printer to save as pdf/A-1b
1) creat a test.txt with notepad
2) print using acrobat pdf printer
3) open the generated pdf with Acrobat XI
4) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf conform
5) now go to 'Tools\Modules' and 'Modify'
6) add a textbox field
7) exit from 'Modify' mode and save
8) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf doesn't conform.
9) I opened the preflight tool and see two errors
     a) "XMP property for a page object not predefined and no extension schema present".
     page reports the following Trigger values:
     - Extension schema is present in XMP: is not true
     - Property exists in PDF/A Standard: is not true
     b) Form field does not have an appearance dictionary
     page reports the following Trigger values:
     - Form field has an appearance dictionary: is not true
I'm quite new to Acrobat: simply downloaded the Actobat XI evaluation version, created the file and added the text field. No special settings nor other configurations was applied,
I'm wondering if someone else was able to reproduce this behavior.
thank you for any comment

First, about invalidating the PDF/A. I was told, but never had this confirmed nor tested, that editing a PDF/A will automatically cause the PDF/A status to be deleted from the file. This is because Acrobat does not know about the compatibility of every edit with every current (and future) PDF subset standard, so it is safest just to remove the indicator - if you turn off Adobe's PDF/A view mode which will prevent editing anyway.
Now, you have a problem with the signatures. Possibly a very big one. Your description "2) fill the text field with some annotations and then sign the signature field 3) save the pdf" is a little too separated. At the time a file is signed it is saved, the hash calculated, and written to the file. So signing and saving are just one action. Yet an unsigned digital signature needs, it seems to me, no appearance.
I think the solution is a simple one. Sign it, but not with a signature field. If it is PDF/A when you start it is probably PDF/A when you finish. Signature fields seem a distraction and obstacle to the important thing, signing.

How can I access copy and paste history in iphone 4, absent some app, if I have copied another block of text before pasting the first?

Is there ANY way to access the copy/paste history in iphone4 without an app? I have the latest verdsion of ios, and I'm using an iPhone 4... The issue arose when I copied a large, VERY large block of text, and then another before I pasted the huge one that took forever to hammer out and was unsaved by any other method, and now I really need it all back!!! Please help! Is there no "clipboard" or similar tool that remembers copied text history for a while, or am I SOL on this one? I can tell you this, as important as the lost words are to me, I don't think I could summon the energy or creativity to repeat it, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and possibly rewarded with cupcakes and affectionate (albeit digital) hugs. Thanks in advance!

I'm currently using Linux Fedora system.
Doesn't matter. There's no standard way for D&D on Linux, no single API.
Every application has its own mechanism which may or may not be compatible with any other.
Gnome and KDE groups are doing some work to provide a common standard but as you know the Linux zealots are completely opposed to anyone telling them what to do (such as creating standards) and won't in general follow them.

Update 4.1.2 deleting large blocks of text following backspace correction

OK, this is a difficult for me to explain, but here goes nothing. I have been having an issue since the update. When typing a message, when I backspace to correct a wrong word/spelling, and then select the correct word from the predictive text bar, most of my message gets erased and replaced with the one word I selected. Even weirder, the word gets inserted in between the few characters of remaining text. The first couple times it happened, I thought I had accidentally selected the block of text with my cursor, but that was not the case. The text is not selected, but acts as though it is and gets overwritten/deleted. This is happening in Messaging and Gmail (and I am assuming all other typing applications).
Is anyone else having this issue? It is making me wan to throw my phone out the window! Please let me know if you know a fix for this.

Mine is doing the same thing! I got the update last night and it is deleting practically my entire message when I backspace. Also, the puncuation options do not pop up anymore like they used to at the top of the keyboard unless you hit space and then backspace.
I'm right there with you...I want to throw this thing out the window. I've seen some cool things this update did, but things I hardly ever would use. The fact it messed with my texting (something I do a lot) has really ****** me off.

Move a block of text from one document to another

How to make a script moving a block of text from a defined area to next document?

Here is the beast.
--[SCRIPT exportTextBlocks]
Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle: exportTextBlocks.xxx
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
select something in the source document
menu Scripts > Pages > exportTextBlocks
creates a new Pages document with the chunks of texts which where delimited by the markers.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
