Having problems when exporting to pdf. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi everyone!
I used the business resume template to make my own. When I export it as a Pdf, however, it looks really really bad. Ive got a slight idea of why this happens: Acrobat converts the helvetica.dfont (only for mac) into TTF files so it can embed the fonts. This causes the font to skew and lose its real kerning and everything becomes a mess. I also tried to go to print, then hit preview, then save it as PNGs and then create a pdf based on images but i still get a way lower quality than the one on pages. I even tried to open the helvetica.dfont file on fontlab and then generate an opentype (Otf) font to see if I could get a better result but it seems to happen the same.
I forgot to say I need to email it, that's why Im trying to get a way to get people Im sending it to to see it the exact same way even if they dont have the font installed on their computers - which is the most possible scenario.
I hope you can help me!
Thank you very much!

Henrik, so what you say is that with pdf 1.6 the problem might be solved???
It's not simply the PDF version, its as well how the PDF is made. On prepress lists this has been discussed for a decade and a half.
The intelligent font model of the Unicode Consortium and the intelligent profile model of the International Color Consortium are expressed as tagged file formats, but the PostScript interpreter ignores tagged file formats. Adobe Acrobat Distiller is an Adobe PostScript interpreter.
In order to present the tagged file format of the intelligent font model to the PostScript interpreter, the tags that contain the semantics for the imageable shapes are stripped and the tag that contains the imageable shapes is subset. The intact tags of the intelligent font file are not embedded.
In order to present the tagged file format of the intelligent profile model to the PostScript interpreter, the tags are also subset and tag that corresponds to the relative colourmetric transform with black point compensation, which is the transform in PostScript colour management, is embedded.
If PostScript is not intermediate format, the tagged file format of the intelligent profile model may be embedded in PDF 1.3 and higher, but the tagged file format of the intelligent font model may only be embedded in PDF 1.6 and higher, and only with Microsoft line layout logic, not with Apple line layout logic.
What Acrobat reports as embedded fonts is not easy to relate to what the original font was. If the original font data was TrueType housed in the tagged file format of the intelligent font model, and if PostScript was intermediate, the font data itself may have been transformed to PostScript Type 1 before embedding, or the font data may stay TrueType but packaged as a PostScript Type 1 font program dictionary per the Type 42 Specification.
If you want to know what Type 42 refers to, then it is a reference to a passage in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Which is probably the lay of the logic, too .

We are having a similar issue. Importing a perfectly justified word document as an OLE Object in Crystal. The document seems perfect in the viewer but when exported to PDF, the text seems to overlap each other and there are huge spaces between words. Using Crystal 11 release 2 (version 11.5.8.826). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

Hi:
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
.swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
Sara

I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
be the issue.

PLEASE CAN U GIVE ME EXACT CODE FOR CHANGES TO BE MADE IN THIS BADI ..AS IT IS NOT WORKING...
Can anybody help me regarding how to debug the BADI in R3.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Ravi,
You can transfer the standard SRM catalog ID field to R/3 tracking number field (if not already used for another purpose) in the R/3 PO.
This will avoid to implement the R/3 inbound bapi.
Here is an extract of the code.
The ECS PO badi example was here used to transfer the unlimited delivery flag to R/3 PO for a Z combination of criteria as well as the transfer of <b>catalog ID</b> to <b>tracking number field</b> in R/3 PO :
method IF_EX_BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI~BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND.
update unlimited delivery flag in R3 PO for combination of vendor +
Product Category maintained in the bespoke table ZUD_PC_VNDR ..
LOOP AT ct_bapi_poitem INTO ls_bapi_poitem.
    lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
    IF ls_bapi_poitem-po_item IS NOT INITIAL.
      READ TABLE it_item INTO ls_item
           WITH KEY number_int = ls_bapi_poitem-po_item
                      del_ind    = ' '.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
Set Unlimited delivery Flag
        read table li_zud_pc_vndr into ls_zud_pc_vndr
                        with key partner       = ls_partner-PARTNER_ID
                                   category_id = ls_item-category_id.
        if sy-subrc eq 0.
          ls_bapi_poitem-UNLIMITED_DLV = 'X'.
        endif.
Set the Dummy catalog.. entry..
        if ls_item-catalogid eq c_dummy.
          ls_bapi_poitem-TRACKINGNO = c_noncat.
        endif.
        ls_bapi_poitem-GR_BASEDIV = ' '.
        modify ct_bapi_poitem from ls_bapi_poitem index lv_tabix
                      transporting UNLIMITED_DLV TRACKINGNO GR_BASEDIV.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />

Banding problem when exporting to PDF

Hi.
I'm having a problem with a banding I'm getting everytime I export to PDF. The banding, of course, is in a gradient. In ID the image looks fine, but once exported to PDF I get that banding. I can do the same files in Photoshop and illustrator and get no banding. I saw some other posts and people were talking about the printer, but in this case the problem happens even before it hits the printer or RIP. The problem is with the export. Any suggestions on settings that I can use to solve this?
Thank you for your help.

On this forum, move your mouse over my photo by my posting and you will see my e-mail address. I can take e-mail attachments up to 25MB. Or you can post on an FTP server. Or you can use the service at http://sendnow.acrobat.com/ to upload files for me. (A basic account is free.) - or you can use any similar service for this purpose.
I would preferably like to see the minimal amount of your files that exhibit the problem so that implies the InDesign file with the gradient background and at least one photo with the drop shadow effect you are using. Your files will be kept confidential and deleted once we can determine what is going on (assuming we can).
The reason you cannot set any transparency flattener options for PDF 1.4 or greater is because those versions of PDF support live transparency. You absolutely want that! The moment you go for PDF versions less than 1.4, you are dealing with the problem of premature flattening which requires exact knowledge of the device resolution.
The other thing that is important to understand is that just because a particular gradient is specifiable doesn't mean that any or all or even some devices will render it well. We are dealing with conceptual specification versus physical device characteristics. The idea behind PDF 1.3 / PostScript Language Level 3 smooth shading-based gradients is that the actual rendition of the gradient to a raster is delayed until rendering time at which point, the particular RIP/device is supposed to optimize the rendered gradient for the particular device. Some RIP/printer vendors do a great job of this, others don't, and as indicated above, not all specified gradients look good when ink hits the substrate (or pixels hit the screen). Our experience is that gradients are often more art than science and we just need to experiement until we find the parameters that work to create the desired effect.
I am not trying to prejudge your situation. I believe you are seeing results that are not satisfactory. The question is what is causing them and how to finesse same. Looking forward to seeing your file (although I probably cannot get to them until at least Friday due to travel).

Multi line hyperlinks problem when exporting to PDF

I have a problem with hyperlinks i multiple lines when exporting a InCopy document to PDF. Its only the first line of the hyperlink that actually gets convertet to a link in the PDF file, the second line is just text.
Is this a known problem and is there a fix or a workaround?
We are using fully pached InCopy CS5 and Acrobat 9.

Is there are a real hyperlink there or are you counting on Acrobat to convert it for you?

Im having problem with my macbook! please help!

the old harddrive in my 2006 macbook is fried, so i brought 120 Gb hdd to put it in. I follow youtubes way. When i put the recovery cd in it and click option buttom, then it boot up the recovery cd, but somehow it says "mac os x cannot install in this system" I couldnt remember the exact what it say, but may i ask why? how? please help me!

Hello
You probably need to reformat the drive. Boot from the installer again, and go through the first screen (choose your language), then go to the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Select your new drive on the left. Click on the "top level" of the drive (where you see the drive model number, not the name below it), and make sure that "Partition Map Scheme" at the bottom of the screen says "GUID Partition Scheme".
If not, go to Partition, set up 1 partition and name it, choose "Mac Extended (Journaled)", click Options, choose GUID, and click Partition.
If the partition scheme is already set to GUID, go to the Erase tab and reformat the drive as Mac Extended (Journaled). Then try going through the rest of the installer.

Having problem with switch statement..please help

here my question :
GUI-based Pay Calculator
A company pays its employees as executives (who receive a fixed weekly salary) and hourly workers (who receive a fixed hourly salary for the first 40 hours they work in a week, and 1.5 times their hourly wage for overtime worked).
Each category of employee has its own paycode :
?     Paycode 1 for executives
?     Paycode 2 for hourly workers
Write a GUI-based application to compute the weekly pay for each employee. Use switch to compute each employee?s pay based on that employee?s paycode.
Use CardLayout layout manager to display appropriate GUI components. Obtain the employee name, employee paycode and other necessary facts from the user to calculate the employee?s pay based on the employee paycode:
?     For paycode 1, obtain the weekly salary.
?     For paycode 2, obtain the hourly salary and the number of hours worked.
You may obtain other information which you think is necessary from the user.

HOW CAN I PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT INSIDE THIS CODE TO LET IT FULLY FUNCTIONAL..?
I MUST PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT LIKE IN THE QUESTION..
PLEASE HELP ME..REALLY APPRECIATED...TQ

hi
A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types. So you can simply give the
switch (month) {
            case 1:
                        System.out.println("January");
                        break;
            case 2: {
                        System.out.println("February");
                         break;
            case 3: {
                          System.out.println("March");
                          break;
                         }where month controlls the flow
moreover u can go to http://www.java-samples.com/java/free_calculator_application_in_java.htm
for reference, just replace the if statement with switch with correct syntax

Font embedding problem when exporting to PDF

I'm trying to export a 100-page catalog from InDesign CS4 to PDF. I've used Lucida Sans Regular throughout as body text. When I go to export, it says that this font can't be embedded due to licensing restrictions in the font. Thoughts? I've exported this catalog to PDF many times as changes get made and I update it regularly throughout the year, and I've never had a problem with this font (or any for that matter!)

I just posted this message related to your question under another topic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2397381#2397381
It might have been more appropriate to post in response to you, Emily. At the bottom of my post is a solution you can use, but it involves changing the font in the final product. I also like Lucida Sans, and I've had this exact problem that I never experienced before the upgrade to CS4. Unfortunately, the problem is not limited to Lucida Sans.
I see you posted the original question back in August. I hope this is some help to you at this late date.

Alignment Problem when Exporting to PDF

I saw one other post on this forum with the similar problem and it was not answered.
I will preview a report through Crystal Reports and all of my fields are lined up fine. Everything looks great. However, when I export the report to a pdf some of the fields are misaligned. I have tried to do various things to get the fields to align such change fonts, add in guidelines, separate embedded fields out of text boxes but nothing seems to work.
I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3.
CR Developer, Product Type: Full
Product Version: 11.5.11.1470
Thanks in advance.
~Andy

Andy,
I posted a similar problem and actually found a solution.
With the help of one of our programmers, he suggested using a Trim function in case there were extra spaces in the field. So this is what I ended up doing.
Created a formula with the following:
"Report Range " + Trim (totext({?datdeb})) + " to " + Trim (totext({?datfin}))
?datedeb = beginning date parameter
?datefin = ending date parameter
By using the trim function, the extra spaces that were inserted into the field were removed.
Go figure! Oh well... At least there is a solution.

Image problem when exporting to pdf

I have several images on top of each other on the front page of my document. Two large images on top of each other with the the top one being transparent and several small ones on top of the two large. Everything looks fine i pages, however when i export the file to pdf the two large images are gone, but the smaller ones are still there? I have done this several times and never encountered this problem. The desk top icon looks fine though?
Hope someone can help!

Some frames are vector (drawn) and render OK in pdfs.
Others are bit maps using transparency, they have the problems mentioned above.
Experiment using a set of labeled frames on a single sheet and export that to a pdf and see what works and what doesn't.
Some features will only be good for printing to your desktop printer directly out of Pages.
