Help with numbers saving as PDF

Hi all,
I have an excel spreadsheet which I have sent to new ipad and opened in numbers. Now I know it will not support all features but the numbers version is working fine for what I need. (Electrical installation certificates)
My problem comes when I save to a pdf (this is how certificates are sent to clients), when saving to PDF the spreadsheet saves fine to one page but I then have another 3 pages containing some empty cells?
If anyone could advise I would greatly appreciate, I could send a copy which may explain exactly what I mean.

BD,
There were three blank sheet coming across in the PDF. It was a combination of two things.
1. The sheet is a little too wide for 1 page across. This was causing one of the blank pages. You can either shrink it a bit, or else use the option in Excel or Pages to auto-fit it to 1 page by 1 page. In Pages, you find this on the print preview screen, at the bottom right, just make sure Auto-Fit is on, that will shrink the document to fit on a page. In Excel, you can also choose "fit to x pages by x pages. On the Mac version, that option is on the ribbon, on the Layout tab. I'm not at work, so I can't verify where it's at on the Windows version of excel, but it's there as well. Once I clicked that on excel, it saved the doc to 94% size & it got rid of the one extra blank page.
2. The other two pages are showing up because you have the sheet you are using, but also Sheets 2 & 3 in that document. Pages has an option "Page Numbers" that is set to on. Not sure if that is by default or is just set that way for your document. Either way, it is causing Sheet 2 & 3 to print out blank, but with a page # in the footer. If you aren't using Sheets 2 & 3, just delete them, that will be the easiest solution. If you do plan to use them, then you need to go into Print preview on iPad Pages, then click the little gear & turn 'Page Numbers' Off. once I did that, it printed to PDF as 1 page, with no blank stuff at the end.
Hope this fixes it for you. Let me know if you stil have problems with it.

HELP! When saving a pdf the objects on the page appear offset of the page boundries.

This happens mostly in illustrator but it just happened again to me while printing a .ps booklet out of indesign and converting to a pdf using distiller.
See the image below:
The left shows my InDesign Document. On the right is the pdf that results from the save. As you can see the page boundaries are being completely disregarded when saving the pdf and everything is equally shifted down and to the right.
Here is an example of me having the same problem in illustrator:
As you can see there is sometimes zero correlation between what is on the artboard and what page the objects end up on in the pdf.
This problem also has another strange symptom, it seems to have to do with dragging images from firefox onto an artboard in illustrator. The image is place automatically in the center and all objects in the file move together in one direction. see before and after photos below:
Before:
After image dragged in:
You can even continue to drag images in and it will move in the same direction the same amount every time:
I'm running Adobe CS6 on OSX 10.9.1. Please let me know what other settings you might need to know to help solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!

In so many words: We can't know. You have not provided any details about your exact settings, what version of Acrobat, your placed images, color settings, color profiles and a million other things including perhaps providing your test fioles for inspection by other people. That aside simply ask in teh relevant ID/ AI/ Acro/ PDF forums. This place here is a dead place and only meant for general sales, install and activation questions, not specific workflow questions.

Need help with numbers doc

I was working with numbers on the iPad where it closed unexpected. Now it will not open the doc, saying it can't open at this and it won't send to email or iworks. Is there any way I can get my doc back.

only if you have it backed up to the itunes folder. I have gotten into the habit of "sending to iTunes" for backups. This moves a copy to another folder that iTunes sees. And if I lose my original working cpoy, I can "import from itunes" and at least have on ly lost limited. Funny that since I started doing that, I havent had a crash that corrupted a doc yet.

Thanks for help with Numbers and web stock quotes

Koenig Yvan,
I want to public thank you for sharing your Applescript: InsertQuotes from 2009 that works with Numbers.
I've successfully modified and simplified it for my purposes to be able to retrieve and set values for a portfolio of U.S. mutual funds that are our investments. I have a spreadsheet that started out years ago as an Excel spreadsheet on Windows XP and used Microsoft's ability to retrieve information from the web from finance.yahoo.com and place it in Excel spreadsheet cells.
I converted that spreadsheet to Google spreadsheet using their GoogleFinance function. It proved to be unreliable intermittently and now I've taken that spreadsheet into Numbers '09 and used your script, modified to use my portfolio's list of symbols and to put just the prices into a quotes sheet. For each account I track in my Numbers spreadsheet I use the table Lookup function to search the quotes sheet for a specific symbol and have the function return the associate price.
Following your instructions I put the Applescript in the ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers/ and after opening my Numbers spreadsheet, with one mouse click in the System wide Scripts menu, execute the script which accesses finance.yahoo.com and sets the latest prices into my quotes sheet.
Thanks very much for sharing with everyone. I appreciate having access to your work to make my work much easier.

Which structure ?
If you are wondering about the Library folder, it's a feature described thiuysands of time.
In Lion, this folder is hidden.
press Option while triggering the menu "Go to" give access to this folder.

Help with page formatting in PDF

Hope that someone can help me with a problem I have.
I have just purchased Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Version 9.0.0, and am a very new user of Acrobat.
The problem I have is converting a Word 2002 and SP3 documents (multi pages to PDF.
The Word document is formatted with the correct margins in that all the text and Header are on the correct pages, but when converted to PDF a small part of the upper text on the next page moves up onto the previous page. Resetting the top ande bottom margins helps, but this should not be necessary.
Anyone have any ideas to correct this problem.

You version of WORD defaults to using printer metrics. There are 2 ways to resolve the issue. 1. go to print and select the Adobe PDF printer, back out and fist the document issues in WORD. 2. Deep in the options of WORD, there is a selection for using printer metrics (I assume your version also has this selection). Uncheck that and the problem should go away. You could also change your default printer to the Adobe PDF printer.
WORD 2007 was changed to have the default set to NOT use printer metrics. All previous versions used the metrics. Thus when you change the printer, WORD reflows the document. The result may be errors in bookmarks, page numbers, and related issues.

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

Need some Help with exporting as a .PDF !

I have been trying to Export / Save As in Photoshop an image as a PDF. Whenever it is exported my image is about half the size as it used to be.
I am exporting from Photoshop a CMYK image that is 1500 X 1050 and it downsizes it to about 360 x 252. I choose PDF in the Save As and Press Quality. I also made sure that it wasn't downsampling to a lower DPI. I used "Do Not Downsample".
What is really strange is that I have tried multiple times with different versions of a file in different programs like Illustrator and InDesign and the same thing happens everytime. I am using Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and a Macbook OS 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard and have just recently updated my computer. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening I would love your feedback as I have been frustratingly working on this the past 4 hours. Thank you!!!

I was creating notecards to be printed at a print shop. I did figure out what was happening though, my computer was showing the dimensions wrongly. Even though the dimensions were displayed as this:
My images were at the correct dimensions but not showed properly. Thanks so much for the help though, I'm glad to have it when I need it!

Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file

I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!

If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
h2 {
page-break-before: always;
should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

Help With Creating 'Hi-Res' PDF Document?

Hi
I am needing to meet a deadline tomorrow in supplying a magazine publication with a trade advert for my business.
The magazine editor tells me he requires my advert to be emailed to him in 'HI-RES PDF FORMAT, 300 DPI'.
Currently, my advert is a simple MICROSOFT WORD document, which is printed out for flyers etc. It is acceptable quality for my needs. I have very little knowledge at this point of making my advert into 'HI-RES PDF'.
However, I do have access to ADOBE ACROBAT V9.0 PRO EXTENDED, and understand I can use this to create the document that is required?
My main questions at this point are, where do I begin researching how to turn my current WORD document into the '300 DPI HI-RES' picture that is required? What is the process involved? How do I go about 'creating a hi-res picture' from my humble Word document?
What I don't understand at the moment is, the difference between me emailing the magazine my Word document in its current .doc form, and needing to involve Adobe Acrobat to achieve 'best quality' HI-RES/300 DPI. Do I need to make my Word document into PDF to improve its quality?
Totally new to this, would greatly appreciate any help/advice.

I wish I had more time to spend getting up to speed on these issues, unfortunately the deadline looms tomorrow [new business, urgent last minute advertising and all that]. I expect to have a genuine hi-res advert ready for next month's issue - in the meanime, Aandi, how would you recommend I best go about things from what I have, or can modify/recreate fairly quickly?
Guidlines given by magazine publication: 'Hi-Res PDF Document, 300DPI, 12cm W x 9cm H
OK, my advert in Word is mostly black text on a white background, and there is a colour picture in it [to help illustrate my services]. So the picture is not 300dpi hi-res, I accept that, and I accept it will not be printed in the magazine necessarily any better than I can manage from my inkjet printer.
But considering the magazine is a glossy, hi-res publication, surely the picture will not be printed in any WORSE quality than I can get out of my cheap £80 printer? If I know what to expect, I know how I can play around with the current lo-res images I have at my disposal.
There are a number of options I currently have to replace the picture in my advert, and some have a deliberately 'hazy' look to them already - I am thinking perhaps pictures with this kind of styling which are far from 300 DPI anyway would be a better choice? At least in the printing reproduction, the degrasion would not look like a cheap 'error' but rather simply the style of the picture?
And what about my Word TEXT? Forgetting pictures for the moment, will the all important text parts of my advert reproduce as good as I can get them in 'best' quality from my printer?
What I am aiming for this evening, is once I have decided upon the kind of lo-res picture [if any] I am including in my advert, allowing for degrasion because it is not 300 DPI, can I then concentrate on the TEXT information and still work on this within MICROSOFT WORD before submitting it to Adobe Acrobat and producing the PDF document? I do not have to do anything special to the text at any point to make it 'high resolution'?
Thank you again for your help so far.

Help with formatting fields in PDF...

Hi -
I´m working on a form that should be filled in from the internet...
The design I did i InDesign - and the formfields I did i Acrobat Pro -
and finally I´m finetuning everything in LiveCycle...
I've runned into two problems...
I need the date field to correct itself -
if the user choice to use the wrong format...
for example -
we want to have YYYY-MM-DD
and if the user writes DD MM YY -
it should be accepted and corrected....
is this possible - maybe with JAVA-script?
Also - In Sweden anyway we always write the Social Security number in this way
YYMMDD-NNNN ( N = Numbers between 0-9 )
How can I get the field to recognize and to crave - "demand" this format...
I´ll hope my Swinglish can be understandable?

I suggest that you make use of the Validation patterns for this. On the Object palette there is a Value tab and on that tab is a button for Validation Pattern. You can create a pattern in 4 areas - Display - what the user sees on teh screen, Edit - what the user enters in the field, Validation - what the value entered will be validated against and Data - what is stored in the data file. You will be interested in the Display pattern. Depending on the type of field you will see different data patterns ( i.e. Date fields show date patterns and TextFields have phone numbers, zip codes etc..). You can also create a custom pattern. Have a look in the docs about patterns and you will see what each of the chars represents and how to create one. For your SSN you will probably need javascript because of the combination of Date and number formats.
Hope that helps

Help with re-formatting a PDF for easy printing by anyone?

Hello,
I used a template to create a new professional resume, and edited this template in Adobe Fireworks CS3. It looks good now, but when I try and create a PDF with it, I can't seem to figure out how to make sure it will print properly on a 8.5x11 without the document shrinking or getting skewed. Can someone help or recommend a service that can optimize my PNG or PDF file to that whoever I send it to will be able to easily view and print it on most any computer?
Thanks!

Michael,
Thanks for your response. My OS is Leopard I believe, but am not at my computer right now. I took a template from a website which must've been in PNG format, and the default application to edit it with was Fireworks I guess. I have it both in PNG and PDF format, I'll forward it to you if you have a minute to take a look. My whole idea was to create a newer PDF resume with style/format that will stand out far above from my word resume (boring).
Thanks,
Jack

Creating Invoices with Numbers exporting as PDF

I'm using numbers to create my invoices.
Using sheets/tables to create the Customer information section 2 columns and a few rows for their Name, Address, Email, Etc
Then I use the invoice table chart to put their products and a service charge on there as well.
It works out perfectly...however I just noticed that when I export as PDF to email my customers their invoice/receipt the PDF lines are completely editable.
Giving me a very uneasy feeling should a customer want to make adjustments and cause a concern over something that they changed on the invoice.
So it is possible to lock those fields when exporting as a PDF or is it just by default that way?
Thanks!

Are you sure in basic PDF readers your customers can edit your content? Actually I think you can modify most any document. If your customers are really modifying the invoices you send to them I would say that makes your relationship with them very difficult.
Acrobat Pro X does allow editing.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html
You can embed and image which is still modifiable but more difficult to make it look good.
I don't think there is a better way to emit a pdf than what you are doing. FYI you can also use the menu item "File > Print", then select "Save as PDF…":

Need Help with Scheduling, Saving, and Emailing a Report From Apex

My ultimate goal is to schedule a report to be created in apex, save it to the database (in pdf), and then email it.
I can schedule the proc which underlies the report. I can send an email from the databse. But I don;t know how to do all three of these in an automated fashion via apex. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon,
I run this type of process in a complete Windows environment - the client was Windows XP and the Database & Application Server were both Windows Server 2003.
Typically, I would build a .BAT file within a Page Procedure that included a line to run the report, saving to a .PDF file and then generate a sql statement that would send an email to the user. In your case, you would want to email the .PDF as an attachment. My email was a notification that the report was ready for them to download and they would access their FTP folder.
You can then schedule the .BAT file to run using the Oracle Scheduler to have that process run as an executable. The scheduler allows you set the date/time the process should run. To do this, your user must have CREATE JOB and CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privileges to run external jobs. (see the Oracle DB Admin manual for further details).
Good luck,
Don.

Help With Pages - Exporting To PDF - PHOTOS BOTCHED

Hey guys, would really appreciate some insight to this.
I created a report for my board in pages and included photos. It looks great but when I export to a .PDF, instead of seeing a page of 4 different photos, it is all the same photo! WHY???? I have no idea why..... It is the weirdist thing.
Now, the document is like 140 meg since the photos are a bit big, so I am telling pages to export to a 'good' .pdf instead of a 'best' since it will make the file size smaller. If I were to make the pics smaller and then put them into the document, would that work? Your help is appreciated since I don't want to do this unless it works. It will take tons of time.
Intersting note though, when I export to word or 'best', the pics are fine. Something weird is happening when it is making the .pdf smaller. Any thoughts?
Thanks all.

You're probably using sections. Is there a little triangle over page 8 in the Pages palette? That means a section starts there. Select the page and go to Numbering and Section Options in the Pages palette menu. Remove the prefix.
You can also export using absolute page numbers if you use a + (plus) in front of the page. If your book's pages are numbered: i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3 you could export as pages +1 - +6.

Help! When saved as PDF there is no content

Hi I'm using Illustrator CS3. When I save the ai file as a .pdf and have the checked option to see the pdf after saving, it appears in Preview as a blank file with no content. Just a white background. I tried doing the same on my windows laptop but no joy. Can you advise please.
Stephen

My only thought is that your artwork is outside the "artboard". If the artwork is outside the artboard it will not appear in the pdf. Make sure the artboard is visible (view>show artboards) to check. I hope it's that simple.
