How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents. We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat. I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
But none have worked.
I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark. And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

Hi,
I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
dinamically.
this is the code i am trying to save by default
protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
// this returns pdf byte array
byte ios[] = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
// reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
String docName = reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;
// here docName would be like "RP_COM_COLL_01_Message_Details_03_09_2008_to_03_09_2008"
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + docName ) ;
bos.write (ios);
bos.flush ();
}the above code produces pdf in browser when calling this URL
http://localhost:8080/DAD01TN0801027/RWReportServlet
In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
1. File -> Save As
2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
Can any one help me please
Regards
Sakthivel.

That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.

How do I create a PDF form for submission that can be used by Acrobat Reader only users?

I am attempting to create a PDF document in Acrobat Pro with fields that can be submitted (via email) by users using only Acrobat Reader.
I have tried changing the properties of the 'Submit' button, although I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone please help?
C.

I created a form using Adobe LiveCycle and added the submit via e-mail button. One change which I made was in the XML script I changed submission type to pdf, so that thepdf form itself would be e-mailed. This works fine if I use Adobe Pro 8, but when I tried the same using only Adobe Reader 7.0, it would not let me e-mail the form along with a message "This operation is not permitted".
Any comments?
Thanks

How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

Well, you don't. Editing a PDF is a difficult and fraught business even with the most expensive software.
But PDF Pack lets you export to Word; then often you can edit in Word. Now you can make a new PDF. It might look like the original, or it might not. If small changes matter you might be out of luck. ON NO ACCOUNT USE THIS FOR GOVERNMENT FORMS.

I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody help me and show me how to do that

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that

Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

I just wrote all this up in another thread. I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg. It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things. I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one. It looks great now. Thanks for your reply. You are correct, SVG was not the answer.

How do i convert a PDF file in word that is written in Hebrew is that possible?

Before I sign up for the paid version of PDF - I would like to know if it is even possible to convert a PDF file with Hebrew fonts into word ? And be able to change the words and what is written after the conversion in WORD???? Thank you!

Is this a scanned document? To check, try and copy/paste text from the document using Adobe Reader. Do you get
- nothing at all (nothing selected)
- the Hebrew you want
- mangled Hebrew (wrong order, wrong accents, wrong letter forms?)
- complete rubbish characters?
The answer to this may help us understand whether ExportPDF will work for you.

How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library. I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad. I can't see how I can open those PDF files. The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly. Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

How do i edit a pdf file with acrobat 9 standard

i have a doc that was sent to me thru email, i saved it as a pdf file now i want to edit it and it seems impossible. Please help!
Thank you

First choice is to edit the source file with its 'host' application.
Acrobat provides the TouchUp Text tool for *minor* touchups.
But, regardless of this PDF is not an editing / layout / formatting format.
Be well...

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

How to compare two separate PDF files with certain fields identical?

Does anyone know of a way that I could compare two separate PDF files containing the same information in certain locations? Please keep in mind that they contain different information as well. I know that it could be done with importing it to excel and running VBA to format the information to be similar and use formulas to validate information is correct, but this needs to be done very quickly with multiple files through out the day. One way to explain what type of PDF file this is, is think of excel: Column A and J contain the same information but B:I contain different information. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

This unfortunately was never answered but we found a different solution rather than comparing PDF's.

How to make a single PDF file with pages for each Invoice (XML/XPD)

I appologize, this is my first time doing this so try not to assume too much when responding.
I have designed an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and have it properly connected to an XPD feed that is dynamically created with PHP. When the user opens the URL, the invoice they selected shows up perfectly in the PDF. Yeah!!!
Now the problem, they want to have multiple invoices show up in the PDF as their own "pages" in a single PDF document. Page 1 = Invoice 1001, Page 2 = Invoice 1002...etc.
The XML scheme is something like the following. A single header with a variable number of detail lines.
form1
header
invoice_id
invoice_date
etc...
/header
details
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
/details
/form1
Now I figure this is a simple matter of replicating the invoice XML in the XPD that is generated, but no matter which way I do it, I only get a single page.
Is there something I need to do in the form in LiveCycle that tells it to produce multiple pages if I give it multiple "records"?
Does that make sense?
BTW...I'm not using a FormServer or anything else. Just simple XPD dynamically created with PHP that points to a PDF created with LiveCycle.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Again...assume I'm a newbie...

Hi All,
What I thought to develop is to write a JDBC connection in the Stan-alone PDF template and access database.
example: PDF is designed in such a way that it should have "USERNAME" , "PASSWORD" , "LOGIN BUTTON" , so that PDF stand-alone template on every desktop should access the database on entering the correct credentials.
is it possible..?
if possible , please provite the solution..?

How to save string in a file with special-chars

Hello,
i´m usingthe MD5-llb to create a password.
Then i want to save this MD5-string to a file and later read it back abd compare.
Works perfect with one proplem:
Some word create a "\r" in the MD5-string and when i save this string to a file and read it back then its read back as a "\n" so that the compare is not working.
My question is: How can i save a string exactly like it is to somewhere and read it back (also invisible chars)
For example the word: heinz
is in MD5: \r\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95 (string indicator as codes display)
when i save the string to a file then i rerad back: \n\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95
I used the "write text file" and "read text file"
What do i have to use to save and read the same?
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I believe an MD5 hash is 16 bytes long. Use the binary read and write file I/O functions and specify the length of the data to be read or written.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

It sounds like you want to duplicate a PDF document. View the document list, and click Edit. Select the document to be duplicated. Select the Duplicate/Move icon (on an iPhone the icon shows two documents). Select Duplicate.
