How to save a bitmap to a pdf file format?

Hello,
We have a scanning application that can write out BMP files or TIFF files. My boss would like to have the files in PDF format. Is there a way to do this? I can write code if given the specs. Call an external routine if there is one available for free or low cost. I initially get the info from a handle to a DIB, convert it to a Bitmap object, then save it to a TIFF. I am using VB.NET and am looking for a solution that isn't too costly in cash or time since the benefit is small, but I do not know if there is one. Even if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Open in a graphics package and print to the Adobe PDF printer. TIFF files can be opened directly in Acrobat and converted (you would then use Save As to get the PDF). BMP files are not in the list of files converted by Acrobat, but you could still try -- might get an error message, but maybe it will work also.

How to save report output in a PDF file and also show preview in one processing cycle

Hi every body,
We R re-developing an application from COBOL to Oracle.
Using Reports 6i 6.0.8.11.3.
The requirement is that whenever a user processes a report, it should be saved on disk say in PDF format. Then it should be shown in Reports Runtime Previewer.
So far I have explored that only one of theses can be done in one processing cycle.
That is if we set DESTYPE to FILe it will only be saved to disk. If we set DESTYPE to Preview, the report can be previewed and optionally printed but not saved.
I want that both saving to disk and preview should be possible.
I have explored .DST file option but there is only provision for FILE, PRINTER and MAIL.
Printing facility should be optional, otherwise we would have used FILE and PRINTER destinations in .DST file.
Once that file is saved on disk, it can later on be printer if user requires more copies.
I would prefer a solution other than User_exit as I don't have training in developing user_exits.
Any help please.
Tariq

I had a similar requirement and decided to run the report from forms. When a button is pressed, the report is run to create the pdf file, followed by separate command to invoke acrobat reader or internet explorer to display the file, rather than using reports previewer.
The file can be displayed from forms by a host command in client server, or by web.show_document on the web.

How to save selected pages of a PDF file in Adobe 11.0.07

I upgraded to Adobe XI version 11.0.07.
Example:

Pages 49-57 of the 100.
Is there a way to do that, I cannot seem to get it to do it, I think Adobe 9 it was possible
Thanks

Pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.
