Check out iText for creating PDF documents. I have used it in a project before and it works great for most things.
AutoCAD files are proprietary though so there really is nothing out there, (for free at least) that can automagically convert DWG to PDF.
I would consult Autodesk and see if they have a Java API for what you are describing.
Otherwise the best solution I can think of is make the CAD drawers save there files in PDF format, because that can be easily done using AutoCAD.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Need help. Exporting pdf to Word or cretaing live fields in doc

I need to take a 180pg doc and save it as a word doc or manage to turn all the necessary areas into live fields. I've tried going to export > word document or File > export to anything really and I keep getting this error message
Adobe was unabl;e to make this document accessible becuase of the following error:
Bad PDF; could not read page structure. Bad PDF; error in processing fonts cannot find CMap resource file> [3]
I received this document form a client overseas. I can't get them to resend another copy.
Anyway's I can get around this error? I'm desperate I have 9 other docs with the same amount of page to make live

Sounds that you want to make the PDF files live and then edit them in Word? Why not directly edit them in Adobe Acrobat? It can help directly edit PDF, the conversion is unnecessary. And if you really want to export PDF to Word but the acrobat can help you little, you would try free PDF to Word Converter, which may help you for the conversion. However, I am not sure you would do that work well. Because I am a little confused about the problem you described. Just have a try and it may helps.

Help files in PDF format ?

Until recently, it was possible to download the help files in PDF format, which was very useful when off line.
It seems that all links to the Adobe download sites have been broken ?

They are still available.

Converting AutoCAD to PDF (in monochrome)

Objective: to convert multiple AutoCAD files (via Windows Explorer) to PDF - converting from color to monochrome.
Now......I can successfully print to pdf from within AutoCAD and get monochrome outcome by selecting appropriate plotter configuration.
My problem is stemming from attempting for this same outcome by selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer, right clicking, and selecting "Convert to..." options.
1. I always get the color version
2. PDF plots tend to have additional white space/margins (not printing to page size).
- I've played with default settings in the print driver itself.
- I've been in Distiller and attempted some customized settings there.
I just can't seem to find where/how to get a positive outcome on this one.
Since my job entails me to do this routine quite often I would greatly appreciate any assistance I can get from you "pro's" out there.
Cuz' this "one at a time" routine in AutoCAD is wayyyy too time consuming.
With great appreciation!

I should also include the facts that I am using: AutoCAD 2011, and Adobe Acrobate 9 Pro.

I am also having trouble with converting AutoCAD DWG to Adobe PDF. I have tried several different methods. I've tried outputing the color PDF to a post script file, however that is still in color. I've tried using custom Color Plot Styles (monochrome.ctb) and Named Plot Styles (monochrome.stb), but since I did not create the original AutoCAD DWG (it is 10 years old from 2004), they are not the correct plot style files. I do not have AutoCAD and use ProE/Creo instead. I've tried importing into my CAD tool, however all the fonts are different. I've also tried exporting the PDF to a raster format like TIFF but the resolution is really bad for engineering drawings. If I increase the resolution, then it sometimes will say that the image is too big and in cannot save/export the image.
It seems like this should be really simple to do in Adobe. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. I can go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF Fixups > Convert to grayscale, which will convert to grayscale, but not to monochrome. Similarly I can go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors and select Conversion Profile to Gray Gamma 2.2, however that still will produce grayscale, but not monochrome.

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Optimizing images for Help and Print/PDF

i'm struggling with how to optimize graphics so they look good in both Help and print/pdf output.
I use Snag-it to Capture and save as PNG 300 dpi.
I often put the images in Vision and add callouts and save as PNG.
From RH I generate a printed output (Word) which I convert to PDF.
So with all the programs an image goes through (snag-it > visio > RH > Word > PDF) i'm not always sure what the best settings are.
Does anyone have guidelines/suggestions ?
Thanks

I've had very good luck going from a SnagIt capture to Robohelp to Word to PDF. I add callouts directly in SnagIt to save myself a step and save the files as a 24-bit (True Color) PNG. The graphics are very legible in the WebHelp output, in the Word document, and in the printed PDF.
The only thing that doesn't work well, I've found, is when I reduce the size of a graphic in either SnagIt or Robohelp. Instead, to keep a graphic's dimensions manageable, I either shrink the s/w application window before I grab the screen, capture just a portion of the screen, or crop the screen shot in SnagIt.
What problems have you been encountering?

Convertir fichero Autocad a PDF

Buenos dias, dispongo de una licencia de Adobe Acrobat 7 Profesional, con la que se supone que puedo convertir mis archivos de autocad a pdf, simplemente pulsando un boton que debería de aparecer en Autocad.
El problema es que dicho boton no aparece. He estado averiguando un par de cosas, entre ellas que la version 7.0 de Adobe Acrobat NO es compatible con la version 2006 de Autocad.
¿Alguien conoce o sabe si hay algun parche o forma de convertir estos archivos???
Muchas Gracias.

Adria:
Si te manejas en inglés, lee esto:
Simon ATS, "11.4-- How do I convert a PDF file to a Word, WordPerfect, or any other type of file format?" #2, 9 Jun 2005 8:05 am
Si no lees inglés, pasa el texto por cualquier programa traductor. Lo que obtendrás estará muy lejos de ser buen castellano, pero seguro podrás entenderlo.
He leido que hay programas (no de Adobe) que permiten transformar archivos PDF en archivos Word, pero no he conservado sus nombres, ni tengo ninguna información sobre cuán bien (o mal) lo hacen. No recuerdo tener noticias de alguno que transforme de PDF a AutoCad.
Como el formato PDF no está pensado para modificarlo o para transformarlo a otros formatos, sino que para intercambiar archivos viéndolos como en el original, independientemente de la plataforma empleada por el usuario o de las tipografías que tenga, ¿podría preguntarte para qué quieres pasar archivos PDF a formato AutoCad?

Cant generate my help file into .pdf format

Hi All
I cant't generate my help file into .pdf format for printed documentation. My .pdf option is not enabled. How do I get it enabled? I am on version 8.
I am following the instructions in help.
thanks
Caryn

Peter,
Please find my comments inline:
If I understand you coIf I understand you correctly, any of the Acrobat 8 or greater versions can generate a PDF with the comments feature. Correct please?
Absolutely!
That means that one person must have a paid for version of Acrobat, ommenting cannot be initiated by users of Acrobat Reader, the latter only enables you to comment on a PDF that has been created in a paid for version. Correct please
Yes, the commenting has to be inititated or rather the person with the paid version installed has to assign rights to the reviewers. Only then the assigned persons will receive emails in their inboxes that the document is set for review.
Regards
Rajdeep

DPS HELP IN SINGLE PDF LIKE V25 AND OLDER!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL SINGLE PDF OF DPS HELP! THE CURRENT ONLINE HELPS SYSTEMS SUCKS...CAN'T LOGICALLY FIND ANYTHING...
PLEASE I BEG YOU MAKE THE DPS HELP AVAILABLE IN PDF FORM LIKE ALL VERSIONS 25 AND OLDER...
Message was edited by: mark@easeltraining

The current PDF version of help (v28) has been staged, but it hasn't been pushed live yet. The posted PDF is still v26:
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/digitalpubsuite_reference.pdf
FYI, a different Adobe team is responsible for designing our help pages. I've heard that there is a redesign in progress that will provide a persistent browsing structure and include a better landing page. I don't have more details than that. Until then, I think the best way to find DPS help content is to use Google or Bing and type "dps [subject]," such as "dps sidecar" or "dps integrator id."
If you have more specific feedback about our help pages, please contact me directly (bbringhu at adobe dot com) and I'll do what I can to fix the problem.
