Make a PDF/A File

How can i make a PDF/A File from a "normal" PDF File with Acobat XI Standart ?

Acrobat Standard cannot validate or conform PDF/A files, so you cannot directly convert a random PDF into a PDF/A file - but you can "print" to Distiller and create a file that should pass verification. You'll lose all your interactivity, bookmarks, tags, etc. so it's only an option for type B files.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

    I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

    @Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
    If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
    A final resort to bring down file size is:
    1. Print to PostScript
    2. Distill to PDF
    That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
    I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

  • How do I make my pdf files secure in Keynote 6?

    In earlier versions of Keynote, I could export to a pdf and make it secure so that someone else needed a password to make changes to the file. Now, I can only require a password for someone to open the file. That doesn't help.  I need new users to be able to download my pdf without being able to left the clip art, etc. Is there a work around?
    Thanks.

    The only way to add security at this time is to use Adobe Acrobat Pro

    How do I make a PDF file smaller in size?

    Do you have images on your PDF? You might want to use smaller images (smaller in file size and not in necessarely in image dimension).
    I'm not sure what else could be done to make your PDF form smaller. How big is your form?

  • How do I make a pdf file! Sorry am an adobe virgin!

    Hello, probably an easy one for most of you out there..
    Just joined this site- so I could ask someone about this as when I called the support- they pretty much told me all answers are online- well, I cant find any!
    I have a journal and need to make a pdf of 10pages on Windows. I dont have the file in a doc form yet- so its not about converting. Do I need to type it up and then convert it? How exactly do I make a pdf from nothing...
    And why cant I just scan it!!
    Thanks.

    createpdf.adobe.com is so 2007 :-). acrobat.com offers services to
    create pdfs for free as long as the document is a word, excel,
    powerpoint, open office, html, or text file. acrobat.com is beta, but
    you might give it a try.
    I'm wondering how they will keep font fidelity and other useful
    properties. But for many it will obviate the need for Acrobat.

  • How can I make a pdf-file of the front panel?

    I like to make a pdf-file of the front panel. Thus I need a vi, where I can input the printer name (as the pdf-printer is not the default one), the vi and the name of the future pdf-file.

    Try this and if you were to search the forum with "pdf" as the search parameter, you'd find several postings on the same subject. One of them is here and another is here with some email addresses of individuals with existing toolkits.

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    Best,

  • Use acrobat 8 in a shellscript and make a pdf file OCR recognize text with selected language

    Hello everybody !
    I have a little problem and I don't know how to overcome this...
    I want to use a shellscript and call acrobat.exe and open a pdf file (up till now I've done this..), but the difficult part is that I want in this shellscript to use  parameters/switches in order to make the pdf file OCR text recognized and use selected language e.g greek !!!!
    How can i do that?
    What is the command prompt parameters...?
    In command line when i use
    c:\> cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat> acrobat.exe <pdffile>
    it opens the pdf file in the acrobat....
    So what switches do I have to insert next?
    Thanks a lot in advance !!!!

    Microsoft has released a hot fix that supposedly addresses this issue, it is at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977468
    I downloaded the fix and tried it; it actually made the problem worse!  Apparently they
    are trying to fix their filter rather than bypassing it.  What I am doing is
    1.  Making maps in AutoCaD Map and printing (plotting in autocad) them to a pdf file
    2.  Opening the pdf file in Acrobat and resaving it as eps
    3.  Importing the eps file into a Word 2007 document
    4.  Use Acrobat to convert the Word document to pdf
    Before the hot fix when I did the process the resolution of the map in the final
    pdf file was not as good as in the original made from AutoCad.  Also the colors were
    not correct.  After installing the hotfix there are still these same problems but also now
    any non horizontal text is not displaying correctly.
    Be careful about trying this hotfix.
    As others have noted, back in Word 2003 the above steps 1 - 4 worked very well and resulted
    in a high quality pdf file with the map as good as in the original pdf.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    @nalinss
    There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
    A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
    So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.
