FM8 to PDF - Imported Files Problem

When converting an FM8 file to a PDF, my imported files that have been pasted or linked in the FM8 document (primarily from Excel) show up as blacked-out boxes in the PDF. How can I fix this?

Thank you for the reply. Some background.
I have been using native .ai files for about 5 years with no difficulty and the current file with referenced ai file was created in FrameMaker 7.0 and Illustrator CS2. I have been revising a number of files and the problem appeared only at this time. I think there may be a problem with the Illustrator/PDF settings because I could create the graphic as a PDF but not an eps file. the resulting PDF when referenced in the FrameMaker file did not print either.
There were some font warnings when I updated the Illustrator CS2 file to CS3 format.
I had another file that I revised in FrameMaker but did not change the Illustrator file (CS2) and the resulting PDF printed the graphic fine.
I am trying to check my Acrobat settings and Illustrator settings.

Using ?import:file? command in a linux Enterprise server

Hello.
I'm with a problem with a template. I never had a client that use linux as OS in enterprise server.
I work with embedded bi publisher in JDEDWARDS and usually i use this command to call dinamic footers and never had a problem. For example
<?import:file:///\\10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf?>. This customer is in linux and dont know nothing about linux but i think that the problem is in this command because linux dont use " \\ " to perform this command \\10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf.
Someone know how i can solve this problem? i tried something like this ( <?import:file://///10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf?>) but still not working and cant find much information in internet about this.
Any help is appreciated
Tks in Adavance

Hi Paulo,
You can import subtemplates this way:
<?import:http://myservername/subtemplates.rtf?> (access over HTTP)
or
<?import:file:///mydirectory/subtemplates.rtf?> (access over File System)
(Notice: http uses two forward slashes // and file uses three /// )
So in your case try this: <?import:file:///10.153.2.86/BIP/R5543501/footerlastpage.rtf?>
Another thing to make sure is set is this:

Conversion of .txt file to pdf file

Hi Experts,
I want to convert a text file to pdf.
I was able to create a pdf document but unable to open.
I have followed the following logic
1) uploaded the file using GUI_UPLOAD
2)used the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set printer settings
3)Then used three function modules in order
       a) RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST
       b) RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST
       c) RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST
I was able to see the data which I uploaded with the spool id created in 'SP01'
4)Then I used the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF followed by
5) GUI_DOWNLOAD.
whatever the file size I upload I was able to get just five entries in the table obatined from CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
The error which I got when trying to open the pdf created is "This file cannot be opened becuase it has no pages".
could any one suggest some solutions

check the below code if it helps you.

Why when I save an Illustrator CC file as PDF, I get a blank PDF file?

Hello - I recently migrated to Illustrator CC and have a problem saving my files as PDF. When I save as PDF, a blank file is created, that tells me the following message: "Questo le Adobe® Illustrator® è stato salvato senza contenuto PDF. Per inserirlo o aprirlo in altre applicazioni, occorre salvarlo di nuovo da Adobe Illustrator con l'opzione Crea le compatibile con formato PDF attivata. Questa opzione si trova nella nestra di dialogo per il formato Illustrator nativo, quando si salva un le Adobe Illustrator con il comando Salva con nome." that in english would be something like: "This AI file has been saved without PDF content. In order to import it or open it with other applications, you must save it again from AI checking the "create PDF compatible format". This option is in the dialog panel for native AI format...". I have always saved as PDF for the printer when I used previous AI versions with no problem, but now the same file gives me this problem with AI CC. I tried to save as PDF other new files, but the result is always the same, whatever file - whatever PDF settings I choose - whatever name I give - whatever way I save the AI file (with or without the PDF compatible file option). Can somebody help me? Thanks!

John,
You may try the following list, or it may be one for Creative Cloud support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues),
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Conversion of files to PDF/A

I have been spending a lot of time lately trying to ensure that an important document can be 'archived', i.e. opened at a later date looking exactly as it should, without relying on external files (e.g. fonts) not embedded in the PDF. Essentially this means making the PDF PDF/A compliant (specifically PDF/A1b is sufficient for me). I created the original file (not PDF/A-compliant) for printing with Acrobat 7 Pro (v7.1.0).
There were two problems here:
* the PDF/A standard had only been drafted when Acrobat 7 was released;
* all my efforts to recreate a visually-identical PDF file (PDF/A-compliant) using Acrobat 9 Pro (v9.1.0) from the original source files (MS Word) failed. There were always visual differences. E.g. http://forums.adobe.com/message/1931760#426522.
The next option, therefore, was to convert the general PDF to a PDF/A-compliant format. This means flagging it as PDF/A-compliant, embedding fonts, etc. Critically, it also requires a character-ID to glyph-ID map (CIDtoGIDMap).
I had previously trialled the pdfaPilot plugin (from Callas Software) from within Acrobat 7 Pro, and this also couldn't quite manage. Nevertheless, it did a better job than the Preflight conversion using Acrobat 9 Pro on it's own, which couldn't seem to fix the CIDtoGIDMap problem(s).
I have just attempted a conversion on the same stubborn file with pdfaPilotServer (standalone application from Callas Software), and this seems to have done the job of making the file PDF/A-compliant (for archiving).
—DIV

In a post above I complained that Callas' pdfaPilot Server did not (by default) set the output intent as sRGB. This seems to have been a case-specific problem, where the sRGB output intent was not specified in the original (non-PDF/A-compliant) PDF. Although colours were used in the document, pdfaPilot Server opted to set the parameter "Color space of data" as "GRAY", instead of "RGB ". Having said this, I should point out that this had no apparent ill-effect on the display of the now PDF/A-compliant document.
Nevertheless, the PDF/A-compliant status was lost by inserting an explicitly-tagged RGB object into the PDF document, namely a 'Sticky Note' comment using Adobe Acrobat. Running pdfaPilot Server over the modified file restored PDF/A-compliant status, and now recognised "Color space of data" as "RGB ".
Alternatively, I could have avoided the need to convert twice by overriding the default settings using a command "--outputintent="<path to sRGB Output Intent file>"".
A key point is that Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional (v9.1.0) was in each case either (i) unable to achieve PDF/A-compliance or (ii) achieved compliance, but in the process altered the appearance of the document (including placement of black text).
While pdfaPilot can be improved in some areas, such as perhaps the colour detection, I especially commend Callas Software for their prompt and helpful attention to technical enquiries.

I can't view a very important file on neither of my devices

I had never had a problem with Acrobat.com before. I modified a very important file on June 6th and saved to my Acrobat.com For the past week, I haven't been able to open up the file from either of my devices. Theres no preview available and it tells me the to download so I can view but it won't allow me to download. Its in PDF format and its 6.0 MB. I tried accessing from my Galaxy Note 10.1, Note 3 and my laptop and it won't allow. This file has changes necessary for work and I am really frustrated to have trusted Acrobat.com.

Hi acmechanical,
I'm so sorry that you've been unable to access that important file. Are you receiving any error message when you try to download it? If so, what is the error?
Are you able to download other files? For starters, please clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. You may also want to try downloading it via Adobe Reader by choosing File > Open from Acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Help with importing files

Hello everyone,
FYI
[I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
server]
I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
I have a topic and I go to create a text.
I highlight the text I want linked
go to "Insert hyperlink"
choose "Link to file"
Browse to my file.
When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
project. I click yes.
I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
well most of the time it does)
I save, check everything in.
When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
found"
Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
doing. :(
Thanks,
mj

Hi MJ,
Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
that are generated to a different location than where the working
files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
working for me.
Regards,
Fred

importDataObject
Imports an external file into the document and associates the specified name with the data object. Data objects can later be extracted or manipulated.
Related objects, properties, and methods are dataObjects, getDataObject, openDataObject, createDataObject, exportDataObject, removeDataObject, getDataObjectContents, and setDataObjectContents, and the Data Object.
NOTES:(SecurityS): If the cDIPath parameter is specified, this method can only be executed during batch, console or menu events, or through an external call (for example, OLE). See “Privileged versus Non-privileged Context” on page 34 for details. See the event Object for a discussion of Acrobat JavaScript events.
When a file attachment is imported using importDataObject, the value of its Data.name is assigned by the parameter cName. However, when a file is attached using the UI, its name is automatically assigned. The attachments are assigned the sequential names “Untitled Object”, “Untitled Object 2”, “Untitled Object 3”, and so on.
Returns
true on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example

How To: Convert *.mpp (MS Project) files into PDF in order to share with people who do not have MS Project but need to provide input on schedule?

I was told that the MPP is unsupported, but I know for a fact that I have converted MPP to PDF. My question is what is needed to make this happen?

You can try printing to the Adobe PDF Printer.
Another option would be to export the MS Project file as a graphic (JPG, PNG, EPS, etc...) and then just import it into Acrobat via File>Create PDF>Combine

Combine ppt files into pdf - picture issue

Hello All,
we are trying to combine several ppt files into one pdf document . Joining process went correctly, but some pictures in the final pdf are broken. If we try to save separate file to pdf, there is no issue. This issue is visible only during marging several ppts files into pdf. Please, do somebody know, where shoold be a problem ? (Office 2013, Adobe Acrobat XI)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

Hi Peter Drgon,
One possible solution would be to replace the broken images of the combined pdf with original ones.
You can select the particular broken images from your ppt file and convert them to pdf,
then import that image containing pdf into your combined pdf file and later you can use 'edit text and images' tools to replace the broken Image in your combined pdf file.
Does that help? If you face any challenges or if i have misinterpreted your issue. Please let me know.
Regards,
Rahul

How can I import files from a windows environment?

I am used to a pc environment. How can I import files ie. PDF, excel, word onto my iPad? I imagine that this is done through ITunes but am unsure how? Are there iPad versions of say Microsoft office that need to be used?

I use Documents to Go, a program that will open all the file types you listed. With its purchase you also get access to a desktop program that allows you to wirelessly sync documents between computers and your device, without going through iTunes.
The other ways to get data onto your device
Mail it to yourself and then save it to (send it to) the app from the e-mail.
Use iTunes to sync the data into the app that will open it.
Use an online service like Dropbox or others. You put the data 'out there' on your PC, then access it on your iPad and save it into the app.
One thing to remember, the iPad is different from Windows and Macs in one fundamental way. There is no 'windows explorer' or 'finder' for the iPad. The operating system doesn't have access to the whole device and everything on it. Instead you have apps that access bits and pieces of the system and have limited ways to share data across apps.
Think of it as World War Two French Resistence.....all these different groups (apps) working on the same device, but most if not all of them have very limited ways to discuss/contact each other. The apps are 'sandboxed' in that they have limited contact with other apps. So the easiest way to deal with various file types is to find the app that handles that kind of file and use that.

Import files onto IPhone from computer

Is it possible to import files (PDF, Word, Pages) from one's computer into the iPhone (in order to ultimately e-mail them from the iPhone).
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Not yet (except the e-mail solution). You also can't open PDFs you find on the web - yet. I expect both of those problems can be fixed in software...
