Making pdf's in OS 9.2

I would like to make a number of old Quark 4 documents into pdf's. In OS 10 it is possible to create pdf's when you bring up the print dialogue box for any document. Is there a way of doing this in OS 9.2? I don't want to pay for Adobe Acrobat just to use it a few times. Any help would be great.

    The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

    The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.

    As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

  • Hyperlink in making PDF

    Hi all. I am making PDF file using Adobe Illustrator CS.
    Suppose I am writing something like "XYZ" in my pdf file, by clicking that it should go to some specific website, Its just similar to CTRL+Click in WORD file.Pls help me.
    Thankyou

    Normally the best way to create an add is to to do it and to export it as PDF/X-4.
    From Photoshop you can save as PDF, choose either the standard as the printer asks for or save as PDF/X-4.
    Never use in any case EPS.
    If the add contains vectors and/or fonts PDF is the best file type.
    If no text or vectors are used you could use JPG with high compression quality, tiff or (not in your case) psd.
    Take care that
    Your file is not flattened to background, so all layers are alive, otherwise fonts will be rasterized.
    You file should have a resolution in minimum between 240 and 300 ppi (not dpi)
    With the text: is it pure black or is it 4c-black? K-Black is easier to accomplish in InDesign.
    Don't make small elements in 4c.

  • Image size difference making PDF's in Bridge

    Making PDF's in Bridge on a Mac.  The image size I am using is 199 x 300 pixels (5.3 x 8 cm) and when I add a horizontal image to the output preview box, the images retain that size, however, when I add the vertical images to the preview box, although they still show as the same pixels, they display and print at 3.5 x 5.3 cm, much smaller.  Need help, please.

    however, all the prints need to be the same orientation.  Both vertical and horizontal prints appear on the same page.
    CS6 has also brought back the old Contact sheet script but I don't think this will do it either. Both PDF output and Contact sheet script are meant mainly for contact sheet use. And both have the boundary box rules as it seems, maybe you should play more with dimensions and rows/columns but I doubt this will give you the result. In older versions there was picture package which maybe was more what you needed?
    Don't know why you need them to be the same size exactly? However as said, mainly for contact sheet use and not a sophisticated print module (a wish from many users)

  • Making PDF Error

    Hi
    I am working in Indesign CS5 When I making PDF in Indesign it shows like below.
    What is this?

    There are two things going on that the message is telling you. Your doument has a transparency blend space of RGB, which would be correct if the images are RGB, but would be incorrect if they have already been converted to CMYK.
    Your export settings are specifying a conversion to CMYK, which might also be correct for press output where the printer cannot do the color conversion in the RIP. The message also implies that you are flattening transparency, which also may not be necessary, depending on your printer's requirements.
    IN any case, this is a warning that there may be undesirable color shifts. You should go ahead and make a PDF, then look at it. If you find it is not what you want, try changing the transparency blend space inthe document to CMYK and try again.

  • Making PDFs Fillable - Why are they 3xs the size of the Original w/Acrobat Pro 9

    What I'm Doing:
    I have been creating documents out of InDesign that I export to PDF Format and then go into Acrobat 9.0 Pro to make fillable.  In Acrobat 9.0, I'll begin with a PDF that is around 1M.  Normally, once the fields are added it may increase to file size of about 1.3M. 
    What Has Changed:
    Yesterday, I replaced on of my fillable PDF documents that was previously more pages with more fillable fields with an updated PDF (using replace pages and deleting the extra pages).  The PDF I replaced the old document with went from 1.3M to 4.3M.  Even when I went to Advanced and Optimized the PDF to remove fields etc. the file remained over 4M. 
    What Doesn't Make Sense:
    A colleague who has an older version of Acrobat Pro, opened my fillable file and just resaved it and it went back down to 1.5M.  He did nothing to it but open it, save it and close it in his version.
    Help!
    Does anyone know what is making my fillable PDF so bloated?  Is there somewhere besides PDF Optimize that I should using to make the file size smaller?

    I think he did us Save As.  I tried it, just to see and it didn't change the size for me.  I called Adobe for help and they suggested I use "Document, Reduce File Size" which did reduce it from 4.02M to 4.01M.
    Reduce File Size:
    I tried Reduce File Size again and chose to reduce to Acrobat 4.0 and later, but received an error that there was an open embedded OpenType font. 
    Unembedding:
    So, I unembedded all of the fonts, which brought it down to 3.85M. 
    Reduce File Size:
    Then I ran Reduce File Size again and it went to 3.84M. 
    Save As:
    Then I did a "Save As" and it went to 3.70M. 
    Result:
    Still not as dramatic as my colleague's save from 4M to 1.5M.

  • Fonts not embedding when making PDF from PM 7.1

    In making a PDF from a PM file, I am having trouble getting the fonts to embed.  The interesting thing is that the fonts that are not embedding are Times Roman and Arial; other fonts are being embedded.  These fonts are installed and I have the "Embed Box" checked in the job type font options.
    I'm using Windows XP SP2 OS and Acrobat 7.0 Pro.
    Should the fonts be in a special folder ? Not sure what I'm mimssing here . . . .
    I had SP3 installed for the OS and was having no trouble . . . . but then InDesign CS2 would not open PM files . . . At your recommendation I uninstalled SP3 but had to reinstall the OS which meant reinstalling PM and In Design CS2.
    Any suggestions?

    PM7 will run just on WinSP3 provided it's a clean install. That is, you install WinXP SP2, clean, straight the setup disk, and then apply the service pack 3 update.  The usual problem is the unnecessary junk which Windows collects which screws things up.  See here: PM7 and WinXP SP3
    I've now moved onto the Win7 and not even bothered with PM7, so I'm going on memory.
    If InD CS2 says your PM files are corrupted, then I'd be worried.  It's time to run diagnostics and make sure you have backups.
    Re:  the fonts, I suggest you check all your style palettes.
    You could just create a PS file using any PS printer driver with the output as FILE:, and the load Distiller, input the PS file and create the PDF.  That's about as fool proof as it gets.
    Also see my now ancient trouble shooter about creating PDFs using the Export… AdobePDF… macro here: Installing and Setting Up PM7's Export… Adobe PDF… using the “Application” CD-ROM   In this cae, make sure you are running PM7.01a - the update is here: PageMaker 7.0.1 update - English as there were some glytches when creating PDFs in the earlier macro.

  • Making pdfs in CS3 from Microsoft Word X w/ Snow Leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon computer. Before installing, I effortlessly printed pdfs from Word (Microsoft Office X), but now, although I get the correct dialog boxes, and can go through the process, an icon of the pdf appears on my desktop for a split second, then disappears - the pdf is not made.
    Would upgrading to Microsoft Office 2011 fix this problem?

    Thanks, Larry,
    Yes, it helped, although it led to a rather depressing series of reviews about Acrobat's newer products. I am downloading a free trial of Acrobat X Pro now to see that helps before I go buying anything.
    What ever happened to the concept of developers making things better, not worse?! Or was that just a dream I had?

  • Making pdf form non-editable after submission

    I created a form for users to fill in and submit by a "Submit by Email" button. The form is being send back as a pdf form in an attachment in an email. After we receive it back and have reviewed it and possibly making changes, we need to save it so the form fields are not able to be changed. How can this simply be done?
    Thanks,
    Chad

    FWIW, if your form does not have to be dynamic (grow, shrink, add fields on the fly), it is often better to create it in Acrobat. It's generally easier to create, easier to program, and will have much fewer backwards compatibility issues. There are a lot of things, such as flattenPages, that are available with Acrobat forms that are not available with XFA forms.

  • Spacing Issues when making PDF of HTML file

    I am making changes to a website and need to convert an html file into a pdf file (for easy printability on the website). When I try to create the PDF file (in Acrobat) by opening the HTML file, it does not keep the same formating. Anyplace there is a picture on right hand side of the page, the wording to the left of the picture drops to below the picture and I need it to stay next to the picture.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    You might also have to change the paper size before you print. Keep in mind that HTML has a floating format and typically looks different on different machines.

  • Pagination Incorrect When Making PDF from Word

    When making a pdf from Word using the "Fully Functional PDF" setting in Acrobat 8 Professional, I often get incorrect Acrobat pagination that changes to "1 of 1," 2 of 2," etc. instead of "1 of 2," 2 of 2."  Typically, I download both Acrobat and Windows updates, but today that did not help. The only way the pdf pagination is correct is if I choose the "Quick and Simple PDF" selection, but the graphics display is not satisfactory.
    So my workaround today was to hard number the document. Anyone else have this problem? This has been an annoying and intermittent problem since we upgraded to MS Office 2007.

    I suspect that you will find the same behavior if you print to paper (worth trying for a few pages). If so, then you are looking at a WORD bug. I know that one version of WORD had such a bug. But then, it also seems that MS put some hooks in the process for PDF creation, but that is only a conjecture. Anyway, be sure you have updated WORD. Acrobat does not change things, but gives you what was sent to it -- the reason I would strongly suggest this is probably a WORD issue. However, I rarely claim it says there is a bug in WORD, just highly likely.
    This has been reported before and I think the update was the solution. You might want to do a bit of searching.

  • Problem Making PDF

    I'm working with Illustrator CS3.
    When viewing a business card I've made in Illustrator, it looks fine. But when I save it as a PDF and open it in Acrobat, or try to print from the PDF, it skews the uppercase 'I' and the lowercase "l", making them appear thicker and sometimes longer than the rest of the font [eurostile]. This appears when printing from the PDF file as well. And I did convert the font to outlines before making the PDF.
    Any reason why this mat be happening? I need a business card printed for a client, and anything I do is just not working.

    The problem is Illustrator handling the outlined fonts.
    Save the file as PDF with without outlining the fonts. You do not have to worry about the fonts, once you save the file as PDF (Portable Document Format) the fonts and attachments will be embedded to your document.
    I hope this helps!

  • Transparency probe when making pdf

    Hello,
    Have just got a new laptop and running cs5 on all but indesign which is cs3. I have a piece of artwork which has drop shadow and when I make a pdf on my old machine the shadow is fine and everything else but when making a pdf of the same artwork running cs3 on the new laptop which is a macbook pro intel i7 running lion I have issues with the drop shadow which is looking muddy and the text box background is showing asa tint! Have tried changing transparency flattener etc to no avail but  the prob does go away when saving a as adobe 4 pdf 1.3 instead of adobe 5. The pdf looks fine apart from thin white keylines around the text boxes! Am missing something here but dont know what! Help!

    Sounds like you’re using Preview on your Mac instead of Acrobat.
    Preview can’t handle advanced PDFs.

  • Marking words with background colour, the colour disappears when making pdf. How to do?

    Hi, I am working with a project that needs to highlight certain word or phrases with different colours. I use the background colour option to do this, but when making a pdf, the colour disappears. How do I get this to work? FM10 unstructured.
    JW

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work in FM10 (or 11) using the CMYK settings - you have to use RGB and convert the colours either in the PDF (with tools like Enfocus' PitstopPro) or during the postscript stage with a tool like PubliPDF (see: Grafikhuset Publi PDF for GPL licensed freebie version; usage details and other info is available at: Welcome to Grafikhuset Publi PDF ).
    You could also try using the CMYK joboptions setting in the RGB mode to see if you get an acceptable conversion (however be aware that any graphics and images in the documents may be affected). You should also set GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=None to prevent FM from trying to do unnecessary colour conversions.
    The background colour feature works correctly in the CMYK mode starting only with FM12.

  • Special character causing trouble in making PDF accessible

    Hi,
    Recently I embarked in project, making 900+ PDF's accessible and as I started working on this I ran into issues. One of complex issue is where Acrobat PDF reader (Read out loud) doesn't read text has special characters. Since we have source InDesign file of PDF I tried to provide alt text using InDesign 'Object Export Options' but that didn't help me.
    Does Acrobat provide any workaround to provide alt text to that kind of story so that I could put there alternate text (without any special characters)?
    Other issue is where I've chunk of text as image and for the same I'm providing alt text using InDesign 'Object Export Options' but again it is not being read in Acrobat.
    I'm new to accessibility and I learned making accessible PDF using link http://www.nwcg.gov/accessibility/creating-accessible-pdf-documents-with-adobe-indesign-cs 6-v3.pdf
    Can someone out there help me on this?
    Thanks
    Mac

    You can apply at text within Acrobat Pro. In the Tags pane, right click the applicable tag and select Properties. You will see the Alternate Text field on the Tag tab of the Object Properties. There may be other, possibly better solutions such as marking the special characters as artifacts, and applying OCR to the text-as-image - hard to say without seeing a sample document.
    Read Out Loud is not the best tool for checking accessibility, by the way. With 900+ documents to deal with, you might want to try using a screen-reader-emulator such as the one built into the free PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) 1.3 (http://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-lab/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac/dl132.html)
    Hope this helps.
