I want to convert to PDF/A, how do I fix errors reported by Preflight?

Hello,
We want to convert existing PDF (printed from various applications, not scanned) to PDF/A-format using the Preflight tool.
Some are converted, others not because Preflight found some errors.
The question is: how can we fix those errors?
Or is there a smarter tool available that fixes all these errors automaticallly?
Many thanks for all your tips&tricks.
Regards, Paul

You need to master content and create PDF in a manner that provides a PDF that is actually eligible for PDF/A.
Review the web for various short takes on what is required for PDF/A.
One good resource is the PDF Association.
The get the real nitty-gritty (& thus avoid false starts) purchase the ISO Standard for PDF/UA.
An example of proper "prep" => create a PDF that has fonts and font sub-sets embedded.
This can be done with ease as you have Acrobat X.
When using PDFMaker configure such that the Distiller job option used embeds fonts.

Hello,
if you create your doc files by the help of WORD, you could use a Microsoft add on (it depends of your WORD Version).

Hi,
In Adobe Export PDF you can do it manually.
But in Acrobat you can do it automatically by using 'Action Wizard' option.
Please let us know if you require further assistance.

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

Go into FF Preferences & set it to be your default browser. This way when you click on an email link in Chrome, FF will open.

How do you fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. (6:6)

How does one fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
If it is running, please exit and try again. (6:6)

http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page. The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association. I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material. I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page. However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring. This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now. I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

How do i fix error code 6A00 on the LCD screen of my Canon PIXMA MP810

how do i fix error code 6A00 on the LCD screen of my Canon PIXMA MP810

Hello drews,
To try and resolve the 6A00 error, we will want to ensure that no paper jams or obstructions exist in the printer. To do this, please follow the steps below:
ASF / Paper Output Slot
Turn off the printer.
Remove paper from the ASF.
Gently pull the jammed paper out.
If paper is visible from the ASF, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
If paper is visible from the paper output slot, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
If the paper tears and a piece of that remains inside the printer, open the scanning unit (printer cover) and remove the paper from inside the printer.
Note : Be careful not to touch the components inside the printer.
Turn on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off.
(If the jammed paper remains in the printer, the paper may be automatically ejected.)
Load paper back into the ASF.
Press <OK> to clear the message and continue printing. If you are printing from an application software, follow the instructions displayed on your computer.
Top
Paper jams inside the printer
Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and USB cable.
Remove the jammed paper slowly using the following procedure.
Open the rear cover to check if the paper is jammed.
Pull out the cassette and check if the paper is jammed inside the cassette area.
Stand the printer with the rear side down, holding the document cover.
Press the tabs together and pull the green cover toward you.
Check if the paper is jammed.
(If you were not doing Duplex printing, you do not have to follow this procedure.)
Close the green cover and place the printer back to a normal position.
Reconnect the power cord and power on the printer. Confirm the Alarm light is off.
Load paper back into the ASF or cassette.
Press <OK> to clear the message and continue printing. If you are printing from an application software, follow the instructions displayed on your computer.
Top
Clearing credit card-sized paper jammed inside the printer
Credit card-sized and 4" x 6" sized paper must be loaded properly. If this media is not loaded properly, it will feed into the printer and will not exit. Credit card-sized paper should only be loaded in the ASF and in portrait orientation. 4" x 6" sized paper can be loaded in the ASF or cassette. But must be loaded portrait orientation.
If credit card-sized paper was loaded in landscape orientation in the ASF and did not eject (exit), please follow this procedure.
Turn off the printer.
Load the same paper type that is jammed inside the printer in portrait orientation.
Power on the printer.
The paper stock in the ASF will automatically feed the jammed paper from the printer.
To resume printing, load the paper in portrait orientation.
If 4" x 6" sized paper was loaded in landscape orientation in the cassette and did not eject (exit), please follow this procedure.
Turn off the printer.
Open the rear cover.
Fold in four a piece of letter-sized plain paper.
Push in the folded paper until it hits the jammed paper.
If the jammed paper is visible from inside the printer area, pull it out and proceed to step 7.
If the jammed paper cannot be pulled out, push in the folder paper from the rear so the jammed paper is in between the feed rollers.
Pull out the folded paper and close the rear cover.
Power on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off. The jammed paper should automatically eject.
To resume printing, load the paper in portrait orientation.
If you still experience the same error after performing the steps above, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the back and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on. If the error persists, unfortunately, the printer will require servicing to resolve the issue. Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain your servicing options.
