Issues creating a PDF with a Code3of9 Barcode

I hope someone can help me. I am experiencing problems creating PDF's that have a Code3of9 barcode TTF font in them. I am using Word 2007 and enter the barcode value "*1234567*" etc and select create PDF from the PDF add-in menu. It starts working and then comes up with an Acrobat Distiller has stopped working error box. I receive the same error if I try using file / print and then select PDF printer. I have tried rebooting several times and still get the same issue.
I am using Windows Vista Business, MS Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional V8.1.0.
Thanks

If the data isn't removed from the document, then it's not redaction – it's just hiding.
So to change the question…
Can you HIDE data/content in a PDF and only show it if someone enters the correct password?  Yes.

  • Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

    I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
    If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

  • Creating a .pdf with different page views

    I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views.  For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view".  Is this possible?   I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
    To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

  • Create a Pdf with a job...

    Hi!
    A very simple question!
    I have to create 9.000 pdf every month, with data present on db.
    I don't want to press a button to create every pdf.
    Especially, I can't keep busy the Client for all the execution.
    I need to schedule this work, in every way.
    Possibly, I don't want to install Report Designer on the server. But Report designer is installed on Client.
    I need something like to schedule in a job the "Run product" command... but withouth the product!!!
    Is it possible?
    I accept also something of different, like to schedule in windows, but.... it has to be free. Totally free.
    I know how to create a pdf with reports designer, but it has to be batch and the Client has to work normally.
    Server
    System: Windows 2003
    Database: Oracle 10g
    Development
    Forms Designer: 4.5.10.6.0 (yes, I know: it is very old!)
    Reports Designer: 2.5.7.4.3 (yes, I know: it is older!)
    Thank you from Italy,
    Margherita

    It's doable using a windows/Unix/Linux scheduler running the report as a batch.
    You may find your version's help text. Here goes the 6i's....
    To run a report using a command file:
    1     Create a text file using a word processor of your choice.
    2     Type ORACLE_HOME\BIN\RWRUN60, followed by the report name and desired arguments.
    3     If you ran the report in batch mode, and sent the output to a file (DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=filename BATCH=YES), open or print the file to verify the output.

  • How to create a pdf with the correct size?

    Hi there
    How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
    Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?
    Yuri
    Imac
    Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

    Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size.  You shouldn't have to select any size.  While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu. 
    That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print.  Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
    If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window.  In the first print window click on the PDF button.  It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF.  That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

  • Create a PDF with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and 11 x 17 pages

    Is it possible in Acrobat 10 to create one PDF with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and 11 x 17 pages? I have two PDFs, one with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and the other with 11 x 17 pages. I want to merge the two into one PDF and be able to print the 8 1/2 x 11 pages as 8 1/2 x 11 and the 11 x 17 pages as 11 x 17 from the same document.

    File > Combine is the tool.
    or, Open the documents side by side; open their pages panels; drag page icons from one document to the other.
    Choose Paper Source PDF by Page Size allows different size papers to be selected for the printer, assuming it supports multiple paper sizes.

  • How can I create a PDF with cad layers visible and switchable?

    I am producing CAD drawings in Vectorworks 2013 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can export these as Autocad .dwg files and read them in E-Drawings viewer but do not have Autocad. I want to create a PDF of a drawing for a client to use which will display Vectorworks classes (Autocad layers) and they will be able to turn these classes (layers) on and off. I understand the client has received such files from other parties (probably using Autocad).

    Hi steffenoberlaender,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and MS Office are you using.
    Try exporting any other word file to PDF and check if this could be a document specific issue.
    If possible, share both the sample word and PDF file with me via email so that I can check at my end.
    I have sent you a private message with my contact ID details.

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 issue: Creating single PDF from Multiple PDFs

    Hey all,
    My setup:
    • Mac OS 10.6.4 / Mac Pro dual / 6GB RAM
    • Adobe CS5 Master Collection
    • Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    Just ran into issue (critical) I have not encountered before, but it is frighteningly reminiscent of the InDesign CS5 problem of the "Document fonts" folder issues and Small Caps/All Caps. Here's the scenario:
    1. In an IDCS5 document I've used the "All Caps" command to give a heading that characteristic (font used is Avenir 95 Black; type 1).
    2. Export to PDF (Print), and receive a correct PDF, with the All Caps designation showing/printing correctly.
    3. Open it in both Acrobat 9.3.4 and Adobe Reader 9.3.4, and the file is correct (see attachment 1, below).
    4. I then make several other single-page PDFs and save them all to a new folder.
    After creating these single-page PDFs for client review, the client has requested that a random number of these PDFs be compiled into a single PDF, which is no problem--it's a common request which we do all the time. The steps for this are:
    1. Launch Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    2. Choose File>Create PDF>Merge Files into a Single PDF; dialogue box pops up.
    3. Click the "Add Files" button in the upper left corner of dialogue box (Single PDF button is selected in top right corner of box).
    4. Navigation window pops up, allowing me to choose the folder created in step 4, above, which contains the PDFs I need.
    5. Highlight the desired PDFs, and arrange them in the desired order; click on the "Combine Files" button in the lower right corner of dialogue box. 6. PDFs are generated, and I save the resulting PDF; I then open it in either Adobe Reader 9.3.4 or Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 to verify all went well, and to my disappointment, notice the incorrect interpretation of the "All Caps" line of type (see attachment 2, below).
    I have verified that a PDF file exported through IDCS5 works correctly, and making the 'combined' PDF by making a new IDCS5 document and adding the necessary pages and exporting a single PDF works correctly, as well. The problem is that the "Combine..." feature in Acrobat Pro is our workflow, because it allows for single PDFs to be combined into one WITHOUT having to set up a new IDCS5 document specifically for the final PDF; to do so would require countless numbers of IDCS5 files in order to get the randomly chosen pages into one PDF.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if I overlooked a similar post, my apologies. Thanks in advance...
    Cheers!
    Mikey

    The issue is related to font embeddings. If all of the pdfs had contained the entire font set rather than font subsets this would not be an issue. The way to tackle the problem is to use the PDF optimizer to remove ALL font embeddings. Then use the Preflight to to re-embed the fonts.

  • How to create small PDFs with reasonable quality images?

    Help me Obiwan Adobe!
    There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
    I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
    So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
    I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
    So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
    Thanks

    A lot depends on the types of images you have and the resolution. You may be best adjusting the resolution first in InDesign and then creating the PDF. For the options in the export, you may have to ask in the ID forum since the export is an ID function. Printing to the Adobe PDF printer is the other that was suggested (I usually hear that the ID export is the best way to go, but I don't have ID to confirm). In printing to the Adobe PDF printer there are several options to consider -- one is the selection of the job settings to use. The default is Std that embeds all but the Adobe fonts and has a slightly lower graphics resolution than Press or Print settings. Also, in the advanced button of the Adobe PDF printer>layout (may vary with Acrobat version), select the Graphic>Print Quality and lower it. I use 300 dpi and several others recommend 600. The default is 1200 that is useless unless you are expecting folks to zoom to see fine details.
    If you open the job settings Adobe PDF Settings>Default Settings (select one of the settings files - probably press or print, or try Std if you want) and check the graphic tab to see the resolution that will be used for the graphics. A combination of this resolution setting and the Print Quality should address your issues.

  • Creating a PDF with transparency without exporting to PDF (Mac)

    Hi
    I need to created a PDF from InDesign that has unflattened (native) transparency without using the export PDF command ( because of the flaw seen here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537751?tstart=0 )
    I have tried exporting as an EPS and that flattens transparency and creating PS does as well.
    Any other ideas, settings or applications/utilities to try?
    Thanks
    -Andrew

    Thanks everyone that was what I thought.
    Peter: If we knew when it was happening then we can fix it, unfortunately there is no indicator when it will happen. We get jobs from all over North America from all kinds of designers so it could happen on any job.
    It is hard to say how many job it happens on as in most cases it wouldn't be noticed by the client as the amount is so small, and in some case it would happen in the bleed that gets trimmed.
    So far we have noticed the issue when it happens in a critical situation and haven't had any spoils but it is just a matter of time.
    We are going into Annual Reports soon as well as proffesional sport tickets both of which are critical clients.

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris
