Invalid image error when saving to pdf

I keep getting an invalid image error when saving a MS Publisher file as a pdf. Can anyone help with solving this issue?

You need to provide system and version info and explain how you actualyl produce the PDF. Unless you use the Acrobat PDF printer, I don't see how Adobe software would be involved in any of this, as recent versions of MS Office products can save PDFs natively...

  • Permission error when saving as pdf

    I am using 10.6.7 on a Mini and I get a error when saving a documetn as a PDF.  It says I don't have permission to save the file.

    Hi Arnis,
    I have also posted this separately.
    Following is the ditamap i am using to create the PDF. This has booktitle, front matter, toc, chapter and backmatter. I am able to generate a PDF (complete with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) using fop 0.25. However, when I try to create a pdf in FM 9.0, I get only the chapter. How can get the others through FM 9.0. Please provide a solution.

  • Unexpected form error when saving as PDF

    I created a form and when I tried to save as PDF for offline input, I get an unexpected form error message. I only added open ended questions and name, email in the form. I used an existing template form and modified it (Market Research template)

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing it.  I was able to save the PDF form. I think I might know the issue.  We've heard from other customers that they get an error when trying to save to disk (either from saving a PDF form, or exporting the submission).  When we've heard this in the past, uprading to the latest Flash Player seemed to fix the issue. 
    Can you check and see what version of Flash you have?  You can do this by going to here - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then try installing the latest version of Flash, from here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Thanks,

  • Getting Invalid Directory error when saving mailbox edits

    I current have two accounts set up for two separate mailboxes (I'm using IMAP) that I had in my old AOL account. Anyway, when I try to edit one of my mailboxes through the Mailbox Behavior tab and try to save it, I get an Invalid Directory error saying that /Users/username/Library/Mail is being used by the other account and consequently, my edits cannot be saved. Any ideas?

    Called Apple support. I basically had to recreate my mail accounts and that fixed the problem.

  • LabWindows/CVI and IMAQ - Invalid Image Type when saving bitmap

    I create and image, grab it, then display it, but when I go to save it using imaqWriteBMPFile, I get an error that maps to Invalid Image Type, so I use imaqCast to cast it to an IMAQ_IMAGE_U8 type (which is what the orignal image was created as), then it works, except that my image has changed, that looks like the contrast or something has changed. Any suggestions?

    image.bmp ‏302 KB

    What kind of camera & IMAQ board are you using? I have seen similar problems when a 12 bit camera is used. The image is acquired as a 16 bit image, and if you just convert it to an 8 bit image, it ends up looking like the one you attached. To correctly convert to 8 bits, you need to shift the appropriate number of bits during the conversion. For a 12 bit camera, that would be 4 bits.

  • Distiller missing text and image links when saving to pdf

    Not sure if anyone has experienced this issue before. Basically I create artwork 1up in indesign CS3 and print as a postscript file "print ready settings" then create a pdf through distiller 8.1.2. After this I then imposition the 1up PDF back into indesign (using the pdf as a link and then step and repeat it) then I print the new imposed artwork as postscript file again and distill it as a PDF ready for offset printing.
    Most time this process works like a dream, but every now and then distiller doesn't want to process the file correctly and images and sometimes text have dropped off the final imposed PDF file. It doesnt notify me of any problems when distilling. As you can imagine working in the print industry this is VERY SCARY
    As i am using a common 1up pdf link the imposition should be correct, (all the pdf linked images should be the same anyway) Is it a memory issue, or a bug in distiller perhaps.
    Im running a Mac with OSX 10.4.11 with 2Gig of RAM.
    If you would like to see a sample of the issue let me know.
    Any help on this would be awesome.

    thanks for the replies,
    Working in a pre-press environment we obviously prefer to print from pdf files (as opposed to using supplied native art). As a result I am always receiving pdf files from external clients who have saved their artwork from indesign to pdf format, so Im not sure what the real difference is between me imposing a supplied indesign/pdf files in indesign vs me imposing my own indesign/pdf files in indesign. (aprt from perhaps going through distiller twice)
    i can see what your saying though and for years i have been using the cut and paste and step and repeat method but recently changed my workflow for a few reasons
    - I noticed that by printing a 1up pdf and relinking the file back into my indesign imposition the final imposed pdf was lower in size
    - if a client made a change to the artwork after imposing (which always happens) all i had to do was make the change, resave the pdf 1up link again and update the link and it did it for me and saved me from step and repeating all over again,
    - whenever the job was printed again in the future i could use the same procedure, resave as 1up pdf again and update the link.
    - plus i knew that if i was using the one link all my step and repeats would be exactly the same each time (and i didn't have to worry that a graphic that hadn't been selected/grouped correctly and would drop off when step and repeating)
    .....and for sure it probably is a slightly longer way to impose a job for print but it saves me half the time on the next print run, and i can use my imposition file as a template for similar jobs also.
    I have found the workflow i use works fine, apart from these rare hiccups which i can get around by resaving the pdf again anyway, but what Im really worried about is the times this error presents itself and doesn't notify me that a problem has occurred.

  • Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

  • New version of adobe reader, 11.0.10, produces errors when saving our pdf

    Hi,
    we notice that the pdf's we're generating in our system are encountering errors with the new adobe 11.0.10 and trying to save them. The system returns an Error 21. After research together with our manufacturer of our pdf-generator we've noticed the issue could be due to the way new Adobe Reader 11.0.10 is handling the encoded compressed format we're using (ASCII85). When we use binary format the error doesn't occur.
    But since ASCII85 was working in earlier version, and we are a bit reluctant to do an upgrade of our systems we were wondering if Adobe may be aware of this problem, is working on this case and when a new version of the adobe reader will be released?
    thanks for the information

    Whatever page orientation was provided during the PDF creation process will be the page orientation in the PDF.
    This is what is presented to a PDF "viewer" (such as Adobe Reader).
    Adobe Reader (or any PDF "viewer") cannot permanently change page orientation.
    Adobe Reader (& other applications) is separate from installed printer drivers so it is expected that the application isn't retaining what is configured in the printer drivers.
    (A change to a local or network printer's printer driver configuration does not "touch" the PDF viewer's configuration. - Cinnamon added to the mug of mulled applejack does not change the wine in the adjacent wine glass.)
    Adobe Reader defaults to whatever a given PDF page's page orientation happens to be.
    Using Acrobat one can permanently change a PDF's page orientation.
    Be well...

  • Images distorting when saving as pdf

    Hi
    I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
    I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
    I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    John

    To fix the bump here, I would open the image in photoshop, and add a little more canvas to the right side. If you have more time, I would recreate this as a vector object, as this does not look too good in Illustrator.

  • Word for mac 2011 - jpeg images vanish when saved as pdf

    The subject box pretty much explains the problem! I've tried ticking the 'drawing objects' box in preferences, and unchecking the 'image placeholders', but I still get pdfs with just a blank space where my word .docx has an image. help!

    Since Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products, and Word is made by Microsoft you should really consider posting your question on MS's own forums for their Mac software

  • Images Issue when saving an illustrator file as pdf

    Hi,
    I have been suffering these couple of days with the pdfs I save from my illustrator CS5 multi page file. It is a brochure that I designed using many images that I adjusted in Photoshop to CMYK & 300 dpi & embedded in ai. I used some drop shadows for some images & have some transparent vectors & gradient fills in the pages.
    The pdfs I save open very normally on my pc, but the issues appear for the client. He gets some images missing in some pages (the ones that got the gradient transparency). The pages also tend not to load completely & stay blurred. He also got the “drawing error” message.
    I tried to make sure all color modes are the same_ used the US web coated SWOP (default)
    He still gets missing images!
    The same file I sent to a friend of mine, it opened normally! but informed me that Adobe considers the file with “special features”.
    I had to export the pages to jepgs so that he gets to see the design.
    I tried to flatten the gradient transparent vectors but also used the downsampling for the images when saving the pdf & used the “Zip” for compression to reduce the size… what did he get??? no images at all in all the pages.
    I started seeing pdf nighmares last night :S really.
    Please help :’(
    Thanks

    We all have Acrobat Professional reader 7.0.
    I guess he has Windows but tried to open the file from his ipad too.

    I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.
