How to validate your LCES PDF-Gen install on WebSphere?

Hi,
I have installed LiveCycle ES 8.2.1 on a Windows Server machine with WebSphere App Server.
This machine has the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 installed. (I do not have Pro 9.0 Extended). (I hope that is ok.)
Anyway, this machine also has MS Office 2003 SP3 product installed.
I am only able to create PDF rendition of Word documents a few times (usually 3 times) after which it starts failing.
That is, from the LCES Admin UI, I use the createPDF UI to select a Word doc that I want converted to PDF. This gets successfully converted a few times. But then around the 4th attempt it begins to consistently fail. And usually when I restart my WebSphere App Server (WAS), this problem briefly goes away. That is, I can again render to PDF a few times before failure. So this is very unreliable.
I am able to render my Word doc from MS Word to PDF using the Acrobat plugin button that appears in MS Word toolbar.
I suspect my LCES PDF-Gen solution component did not get properly deployed or something on the WAS. Is there a way to validate my install and deployment? Is there a tool to validate PDF-Gen install - Can the LCM (LiveCycle Config Manager) be used somehow?
thanks in advance.

You get the system device and path name. So you would need to know every virtual printer that prints to a file and that probably is not feasible.
Some possible non-paper printers:
(1) Microsoft XPS Document Writer
(2) Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 Document Writer
(3) Fax
(4) eDocPrinter PDF Pro
(5) Adobe PDF

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

    now that i have installed the software how can i change a pdf into a word doc

    Hi patm23422687,
    I hope by saying 'installed the software', you mean that Acrobat XI is now installed on your computer.
    Now, open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and choose "File> Save as Other> Microsoft Word"
    This is all you need to do
    Please try and let me know if you need further assistance.
    Regards,

    There is a monthly plan. Please see Subscription Options - Monthly or Annual | Adobe PDF Pack.

    How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

    Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

  • Apps won't install: BlackBerry Desktop Mgr failed to validate your BlackBerry device update

    Just tried out the new Desktop Manager for Mac and it seems to blow up when trying to either install or uninstall applications.
    I get the following error:
    BlackBerry® Desktop Manager failed to validate your BlackBerry® device update.
    Validation failed because a module marked for add (net_rim_platform_resource__pt) is not available on local disk
    Some users have reported success with uninstalling an app first, but no luck with me.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi,
    I've had the same problem and I have figured it out...for me anyway.  Make sure you have the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager and obviously the lastest software for BlackBerry Torch also.  So, ths is what worked for me...
    connect phone to computer and click on Applications (top right)
    click "Check for Updates"
    click "Show Other Versions" (if there are no updates for phone)
    chose "BlackBerry 6.0  6.0.0.246 (Current Version-Reload)
    then select
    Once this has reloaded and your device is restarted go back to Applications and add/delete (by checking or un-checking) what you want. 
    *Warning:  I had a fair amount of trouble with error messages or something having to be reset, but after going through all the red tape and turning my phone off and on again a couple times it worked!! 
    Hope this helps or at least gets you started.

  • How do you load a pdf file to your computer once its been created

    how do you load a pdf file to your computer once its been created

    Hello there,
    Once you have created a PDF file with Acrobat.com, this file will live in your file organizer; if you select the file, you will have the option to download it. You can do this either while viewing the document (by clicking the "Download" button in the top menu bar) or from your organizer (hovering over the file name, you will see a little arrow; click it, and in the resulting menu choose "Download"). In both cases, you will be prompted to choose the location on your computer to which to save the file. Once you have chosen a spot, the file will be saved there.
    Please let me know if you need any more information on this process.
    Best,
    Rebecca

  • How do you Open a PDF without saving it to your computer first ?

    Dumb question.  How do you open a Pdf document without copying & moving to your computer first ?
      The only thing I can get is a note pad with code.

    Dumb question: where is the PDF document before moving & copying it to your computer?
    P.S. what is your operating system?

  • How to use PDF generator installed on dedicated machine

    Hi!
    According to Adobe official recommendation I have installed PDF generator on dedicated machine, separed from rest of LiveCycle modules. But now I don't know how to use such a PDF generator from my LC processes. Obviously I may use webservice component and call PDF generator using SOAP. But that is not elegant. I searched in adminui for some URL or IP address settings, but found nothing.
    And what to do when I have more then one PDF generator server? Probably I need some sort of load balancing. Is LC ES capable of work in such configuration?
    Thanks for some ideas.
    --- Jaroslav

    There is possible to specify PDF generator location in file repository:///assembler.properties . So I created the file:
    serverType=JBoss
    protocol=soap
    endPoint=http://192.168.2.1:8080
    username=administrator
    password=password
    and put it to repository root. Unfortunetally nothing happened. I restared server also but no effect. Do you have some experience with configuring server location in LiveCycle?

  • In digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat

    in digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat as digital editions too hard to read.@@

    On Mac, try looking in:
    /Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
    On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
    If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.
