I'm creating a layered pdf from CS3 v5.0.3 and my layered PDF always has

a layer called "Guides and Grids". This is not a layer in my InDesign file and doesn't contain any information in the PDF. I've done a few tests thinking that maybe my actual guides were somehow coming over on a new layer from my master page, but this layer appears even if I don't use a master page or have guides at all. Is there a way for me to prevent this layer from showing up in my PDF? I have been using the merge layer option in Acrobat to get rid of it. It happens no matter if I make the layered PDF with any of the layer options in InDesign (visible, etc . . .). Any suggestions?
Thanks

Layers will only appear in a PDF if you save with PDF with at least Acrobat 6 compatibility and turn on the Create Acrobat Layers option.
So I assume that you DO want your InDesign layers to appear in the PDF file, you just don't want the Guides and Grids layer to appear. It appears turned off so it wouldn't harm anything and wouldn't print out.
There is no way in the InDesign UI for this not to happen.
There's also no way to remove layers in Acrobat in the UI except as you're already doing it. It's possible that you could program that to happen in a more automatic way with Acrobat JavaScript.
I think you'll have to live with it.

    Hi I just changed from cs3 to photoshop cc and cant locate the tools bar usually at the top? Need to use the ruler tool?

    What operating system are you using?
    You don't see the tool options bar  (Window>Options) or your looking for the Analysis Menu which is now under Image>Analysis?
    You can also get select the ruler tool from the toolbox

  • I can't create PDFs from CS3 programs in Acrobat Pro XI. Compatibility issue or just Acrobat?

    I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI this morning. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator don't seem to be supported file types for creating a PDF from Acrobat.  While I usually create my PDFs from the authoring program, I occasionally need to make a lot of PDFs of different files at once, and making them from Acrobat makes sense instead of opening each individual file.
    Is this just a compatibility issue? We have requested upgrades to CS6, but it will be a while before it gets approved (if it gets approved).  Did someone think it was a brilliant idea not to allow PDFs from the CS products to be created from Acrobat instead of the authoring program?

    Can you describe your workflow a little more? Are you saying that you created PDFs of InDesign documents using Acrobat directly -- not using InDesign?
    If that was possible in CS3, I must have missed it.
    FWIW, I can't select CS6 InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop documents in Acrobat X. You can only select a handful of image formats, HTML or PostScript/EPS.

  • Export PDF from CS3 Issues

    I am trying to export a PDF from InDesign CS3; however I am having issues with images moving when butted up against bars and/or background color set. First, when image has the pic boxed colored (which it really shouldn't) we receive a slight stroke around image. The files come like this from the customer, so forget not having a color, they are the customer. We have figured out that if the pic box has an object style applied to it (none +), which it shouldn't, it creates the slight stroke. Change the object setting to none, and it works fine. Also it does not matter if the image has been scaled up or down; it still displays the stroke with an object style.
    The main problem is when a pic box butts up against color bar for some type of artistic design. The image is sizing down like a hairline and not butting to the color box in all fashions. What is funny though, the pic box has no object styling, but the colored box does because adding a color is adding to the object style (none +). I am exporting with no compression and high resolution transparency. These are the same settings we have used for years with no issues. It has to be a CS3 glitch. Anyone come across export issues in CS3 InDesign??

    In the Output box, click Ink Manager. Click all spots to Process. This is if you don't mind if it's going to print, or be viewed, CMYK. We usually use Compatibility Acrobat 5 also.
    This was our way of dealing with the "artifacts" as Adobe calls them. Not sure if it's your issue or not.
    Good luck.

  • Trying to create a pdf from an HP G85 scanner and the G85 is not showing up as a device for Adobe

    I have windows 7 (new) and adobe 8 professional.  I was trying to scan from my HP G85 all in device and adobe was not recognizing any devices to scan from.  Can someone please offer advice.

    @kvolk6oldbarn –
    The G85 works for me in Windows 7. I have Windows 7 Home Premium (new about a week ago) and Acrobat 8 Standard.  I can see my G85 AIO from Windows (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers).  If you’re still having trouble connecting to it, I suggest the Microsoft Compatibility page for the G85:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware& p=HP%20Officejet%20g85%20All-in-One%20Printer&v=HP&uid=C6737A&pf=9&pi=4&c=Printers%20%26%2 0Scanners&sc=Multifunction&os=64-bit
    You might also check out the related discussion about connecting to the G85 at “See what others are saying about this product in the Windows 7 Answers Forums” where they also discuss access to some of the other functions (eg fax); that’s at:
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/79d670dc-36b8-4303-9adf -909f839c4d90/
    Once you’re connected, the settings I use to get reasonable scanning speed are Native and Show Scanner’s Native Interface.  That’s in the Scanner Options dialog (get there from Create PDF > From Scanner > Scanner Options).  The only interface I have available is WIA (in the scanner pull-down to the left of the Scanner Options button).  The resulting scanning behavior is about 4 stutters as it scans a page – that is, the scan bar moves a few inches, backs up about 1/2 inch, then goes another few inches, etc.  That’s about what I saw in XP, so it looks nearly the same to me. 
    Good luck.
    P.S.  if HP tech staff are watching: Acrobat has a lot of trouble driving the scanner if the settings are instead Native/Hide.  The behavior then is the scan bar goes about an inch, backs up 7/8 inch, goes another inch, etc.  That’s so painful to watch I’ve never let it continue to see if really would make it all the way down the page.

  • Help! I need to create a PDF from a folder of jpg and tiff images.

    This would be from a known CD folder so I could pass the name to the program. The resulting PDF, with the same name as the folder, should be put it in a books folder under Documents.
    I would like to initiate this action by clicking on a link on a local HTML page.
    Just knowing if this is best done in Automator, AppleScript, or bash (or whatever) would help.
    For some background: So I have 20 CDs with several dozen folders in each, full of images nicely ordered. Right now I preview them and Save As..PDF. Works fine but it is tedious.
    I have a list of the CD Labels, and the existing folders inside them.  I also have a handy HTML page in my Documents with the links to all the (future) PDFs ready to go.
    Having a program that would just go through a whole CD and make PDFs of the same name as the different folders would be great too.
    Any advice?

    Maybe PDFtk will help?

  • PDFs from CS3 causing crash

    More than one case has cropped up at my office with a pdf generated by a client with CS3. (We are still using CS for our workflow due to another program we are using that isn't compatible with the new stuff yet)
    So what happens in our workflow is this:
    We place the Indesign-CS3-generated-pdf into an Indesign-CS document. When we're ready to publish we pdf that doc (or, rather, our 3rd party workflow program pdfs it into the workflow). And we get the application InDesign CS has unexpectedly quit crash. The same scenario occurs when I tested it without the 3rd party. And I've tried playing around with different settings in the pdf export presets to no avail. Any tips?

    Don't know if this will be helpful or not ...

  • I am able to generate PDF from Framemaker file but not able to generate pdf from book in robohelp

    Hi,
    Using robo help i am able to generate pdf  from a single framemaker file.
    but when i am importing whole book then i am not able to make it.
    And also it is not showing any error on console
    It goes to hang like situation and i have to close it from task maneger.

    Ok, silly question - why are you bothering to try and create PDFs from RH when you've got FM? FM to PDF produces great results; RH to PDF involves having to go through Word - i.e. RH - Word - PDF = too much work IMHO.

  • Open PDF from database in a browser and run Javascript within PDF

    What we're trying to accomplish is to query a PDF in the database and open the PDF in the browse. Once opened if a user click on a link to open another PDF, it launchs a URL to Coldfusion, that queries the database and opens the PDF link. This all works but we also want to have the open PDF goto a section or bookmark within the PDF. We currently have JavaScripts within the PDF links that do that but only if the PDF is in the file system. We're using the app.openDoc to get a reference to the opened PDF. But when opening the PDF from the database we pass the control to Coldfusion using app.launchURL or app.getURL. These do not pass back a reference to the opened PDF and the JavaScripts fails.
    I'm looking for different methods or ideas.
    Is there another way to do this, I'm new to acrobat JavaScripting?
    Thanks, Rob

    I tried tapping and holding the attachment icon, it just shows "Open / Bookmark/ Copy"...
    Also i tried opening the attachement first and then tapping on it, it just shows "open in Safari"
    Is there any settings to be done to add the options of Opening in Adobe Reader/or any other Docu Sign app . the exhibition booth systems one would work i think
    Appreciate if someone could help

  • Log in required dialog box when we Save as Adobe pdf from MS Word 2010. And error from PDFMaker

    We have started to get this error when we "Save AS Pdf" from for instance Microsoft Office Word and Excel 2010. Adobe Acrobat is Customized with the Customization tool to provide licence and activation and distributed with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012. The deployment has been working fine until recently when I started getting questions about this from our users. I looked into this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-pdf-creation-cannot-continue.html but it seems outdated so I can not follow.

    It sounds like you have a bunch of 64-bit machines and did not do the update (11.0.0). The updates are needed for both 64-bit systems and for Office 2010 as I recall. I know that Office 2013 definitely requires the update. Glad it worked for you, but now you have to figure out how to update all the machines.

  • Printing Word documents to PDF from Office Web Apps Server 2013 yields inaccessible PDF files

    I have Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with March 2015 CU applied. The version shows up as "15.0.4569.1506" using Todd Klindt's
    method. When anonymous users view the Word documents online through the Office Web Apps, they have an option to print them to PDF. The PDF file that gets generated as a result isn't accessible
    (i.e. it isn't WCAG-compliant). using Adobe Acrobat Pro to check it I can see that it is missing tags, for example. The source Word document was made fully accessible from the point of view of Microsoft Office accessibility tools.
    When viewing the same document in Word Online in Office 365, I get an extra option  "Download as PDF". The PDF document produced is accessible. If I save a Word 2013 document as a PDF from within the Word editor, it also generates accessible
    PDF.
    I was wondering if the reason for the accessibility problem that I have misconfigured my on-premises Office Web Apps,  or perhaps the accessibility compliance isn't built in yet. If the latter is true, I was wondering if someone could indicate whether
    or not this is on the list of upcoming CUs.
    thanks in advance. 

    Just check my WAC install, no this is likely an Office online only feature, at least at this point in time.

    I.e. List #2 still has the workflow from List #1 hardwired in.  List #1 still needs its workflow but List #2 wants to have a separate Workflow.

    More importantly, because it's relatively easy for most folks to just start from scratch with a new Workflow—how does one disassociate a carried-over Workflow from the new List?
    Use the web-GUI. (List Settings > Workflow Settings)
    From Designer, there's a shortcut button at the top of the page in the Workflows tab: "Administration Web Page".

  • Trying to install Photoshop CC 2014 from inside Craetive Cloud panel and my antivirus says it has a Trojan file in it and it won't install

    I am trying to update and install Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud panel and my antivirus stops the installation and says the setup file and a droplet file have a trojan within them.  The Trojan.Win32.Generic.pak!cobra is quarantined in my antivirus program.  I can't believe others are not having this same issue!  What do I do now?

    Anti-malware software nowadays has a lot of heuristic behaviors - meaning it's probably not definitively detecting a virus, but spotting something it thinks smells vaguely like one.  It's a transition (from hard detection to heuristics) that's been happening in recent years all across the anti-malware industry and a lot of folks are caught off guard by it.  It's possible your antivirus software maker simply needs time to assimilate reports of false positives and make an exception for Adobe's software.
    Considering that Adobe probably does some pretty tricky things to ensure people can't easily steal their software, that it is detected acting in a manner attributed normally to malware becomes a bit less surprising.  But I don't think there's a virus in it.
    Adobe does recommend stopping your antivirus software before installing.
