How to create PDF from Publisher A3 landscape file

I have a poster in an A3 landscape Publisher file, two pages. When I created a PDF it came out as portrait, and only the left half of each page. What can I do? I need to take it to be printed, as I don't have an A3 printer, and the office shop wants it as a PDF.

Not sure where that leaves the bUseConv parameter...
bUseConv
(optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value that is used when cPath references a non-PDF file. If true, the method tries to convert the non-PDF file to a PDF document. The default is false.
Do you mean that, despite being documented, it isn't supported?

Have you tried File>Scripts>SaveDocsAsPDF? There should be a folder of sample scripts installed in your AICS3 folder and a folder of documentation which contains an Illustrator AppleScript Reference which has examples.

Unable to create PDF from Publisher file

I am able to create .pdf from a .jpg, also from an .xls ... but not from a Publisher document (2007).
I get a prompt to run in repair mode and I tried that (twice) but the problem is not being corrected. At one point I had a message about PDFMOUTLOOK and thought I disabled it. I tried both ways, from inside Publisher, and dire Any help will be greatly appreciated.ctly from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro ... neither works.
Below is the log:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
-169
-mark-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
LinK

Interestingly, "PDFMOUTLOOK" is apparenly related to PDF Maker for Outlook. It has also been suggested to be Malware (not good). That would suggest you may have some corruption. I am not saying you do, but just what is hinted at by a web search.
In terms of the printing process. The Adobe PDF printer creates a PS file. With Acrotray active, this PS file causes Acrotray to activate Distiller in the background and complete the conversion of the PS file to PDF. That is the basic conversion process used by Acrobat to create PDF files. Distiller is always in the picture, it just may be running in the background. If Acrotray is not active, the process will stall. Since you are seeing a Distiller log screen, your process seems to be working.
PDF Maker is basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. The preprocessor inserts PDF Marks into the PS file that is created to allow the conversion to PDF to include bookmarks, links, etc. My suggestion about PDF Maker (since the print process seems to work) is that there may be something in PDF Maker that is causing the problem. From the web search, it appears it may even be a virus type of aspect that hit your PDF Maker. Again, I am not saying that is the case, only suggesting it as a possibility. If you can create the PDF from the printer, then the basic process of creating PDFs is working and it is then a process of checking out the problems with PDF Maker. For that, I typically suggest turning all of the options off and then adding them back in to see what triggers the problem. You are basically in a trouble shooting mode and need to isolate the problem.

Can't create PDF from most MS Office files, or combine

After behaving nicely for months, Acrobat suddenly won't create PDFs, either from the Acrobat menu or (for most) from right-clicking in Explorer. If I try File> Create PDF> From File, the dialog says it's looking for 'all supported formats' but doesn't show any of the files in the folder (not even .TXTs). It'll create a PDF from the right-click menu in Explorer, for only a very a few file types (for example, .docx but not .doc), and it won't do a Combine Files, either from Explorer or from the program, for any filetypes (says 'cannot convert file' on all filetypes).
This worked fine up til today and I have the same setup at work (AA 9 Pro and Office 2010) where it works fine. Tried doing a 'Repair' but no change. Starting to panic here. What went south? Thanks for any clues!

I said to print as a check, not to forget PDF Maker. The print is a temporary work around while you resolve the issue, partiuclarly if you are under time pressure. With versions before AA9, PDF Maker was simply a front end for the printer and when the printer was checked things might fail. So you get some trouble shooting of where the problem is. If you do not want to troubleshoot to see if everything is broken, that is fine.
The updates and repairs are other steps to take. A reinstall is typically a last resort and should include deletion of the Acrobat folder and running a cleaner on the registry after the uninstall.
Generally, if the PDF Maker in WORD does not work, then none of the other options to right click and create a PDF or creating a PDF directly in WORD will not work either. The whole point is to trace down to what is the major problem. Often folks have problems because the PDF Maker is not being recognized in WORD and has to be activated, but you have the icon and that suggests things should work.
Your next step is to check the job settings file. Be sure you have access to the job settings file. You will usually get an error message if this access is denied for some reason and posting the error is helpful.

How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE. And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time. I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs. I do lots of pdfs in normal layout. Sometimes I would forget to do that.
So, How do I do that?

No such luck. It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word.
Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?

Creating PDF from Publisher Documents

Have created 11 x 17 poster in Publisher and saved in PDF format...as I have done numerous times with great success until now. When I open the PDF file, it appears it has been saved in a "smaller version;" not scaled down...but missing everything around the edges! I presume I have touched some setting????

Hi dvane932,
Are you using the Adobe PDF Pack to convert the file to PDF? How large is the file? There is a 100 MB file-size limit for uploading files to the online service. That said, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Make sure that you're using a supported web browser: System requirements | Acrobat.com
Make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Try converting a different file to PDF (helps narrow down the problem).
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to create PDF from Crystal Report instead of CRT

Hi
How can we view the reports as PDF within SAP Portal (instead of viewing crt-Files with BO-iView-template)?
I know CRs as PDF from SAP NW IdM - reports are created as PDF there.
We use CR 2008 SP2 with SAP_BW as datasource. We'd like to view the reports in SAP Portal.

How to create pdf from word doc file

HI
I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
* create archive pdf file
lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
oWord.application.quit
release oword
I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
The code was this:
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
    oWordApp.Visible = True
    oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
    Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
    strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
    oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
    oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _
        Copies:=1, _
        Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, _
        Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _
        Pages:="", _
        PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        Collate:=True, _
        Background:=False, _
        PrinttoFile:=False, _
        OutputFileName:=strOutputPDFName
If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

How to creat pdf from microsoft word

How do I edit pdf files

You don't. Thats why they are saved as .pdf files to prevent changes.
You can create PDF files form Word on windows, by printing to a PDF Virtual Printer (you can google this).
You can create PDF files on a Mac by selecting Print, then clicking PDF on the print screen.
You can create PDFs on an iOS device with a third party app like 'PDF Printer for iPhone'

Creating .pdf from a certain word file results in "2-layer" scrunched/superimposed text in places

Whether I export this certain .docx file from within Word 2007 or I import the file from within Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the same thing happens. It only happens on a few pages, but it's enough that people are losing their minds. Thoughts? This is what it looks like:

How to create PDF from a web dynpro screen

Hi all,
I am in the process of creating my first web dynpro application for parking a document, the new requirement is when the user parks the document, a PDF of the web dynpro screen should also be generated. Can you please tell me how can I achieve that.
Thanks,
Rajat

A PDF generated from the screen? There is no SAP delivered functionality to do this. I might suggest that you just use the browser print and print to a PDF generated virtual printer. Otherwise you would have to design an Adobe Form (and run it within WDA using the InteractiveForm) that matched the interface of the WDA screen. There is no automatic generation. You would have to design and maintain each independently.

How to create pdf from ssis

hi
just like we create flat file as a destination,
i need pdf file , how to do it?

but can i use spire.pdf in ssis?
1st you need to find out if the licensing terms allow the intended use. I see it's a commercial offering. And I did not see it demoed converting from flat files, but I may be wrong.
May be you will be 1st to try it out with SSIS if the above holds true. Try to reference it's DLL if it succeeds than most likely next you (or a team-member) will need some VB or C# skills to make it actually do the heavy lifting work.
If you do, post here how you did it or reference a blog post, would be nice to know.

How to Create PDF From Web Page with Sign In

Creating a pdf file from a web page works fine except when the site requires that I must be sign in. In that case Acrobat will not capture the page. Is there an option or setting in Acrobat Pro X that will allow Acrobat to login?
Thanks and regards, Murray

Depending on the web page, you may be able to use the URL with ID and Password included. It goes something like http://ID:[email protected]@test.edu, but it would be best to look up the format for URLs if you want to try this approach.
