Missing images in pdf and swf

When I print to FlashPaper (2.01.2283) my pdf and swf result
files don't contain the logo image in the word document. Is there a
workaround for this. I was able to generate a correct pdf using
pdf995.com's free converter. But I would like also to provide the
site with Flashpaper, as I've been able to do this for all the text
only documents.
Thanks.

I think I've narrowed this down to the AVG Linkscanner. Turned it off and all images are present and correct.

Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a Image format(JPEG,bmp,tiff) to PDF and then to PDF/A. I could able to convert Image to PDF successfully.
I'm getting the below error while converting the PDF(that was generated) to PDF/A.
Caused by: com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: Input Document is a already flat PDF Document
at com.adobe.printSubmitter.PrintServer.transformPDF(PrintServer.java:307)

Please give me the solution to convert PDF to PDF/A?

I've just read a footnote in the API documentation which indicates that the transformPDF function cannot be used for this purpose:
"GS_Enterprise said on Nov 24, 2007 at 12:03 PM :
Please note that the parameter "inPdfDoc" for transformPDF assumes that the stream content is an XFA-based PDF, and that it's not an XFA-based PDF with a PDF background (also known as "XFA foreground"). In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

Dynamic Images in PDF and Escaping Special Characters

I used the following to create my own PDFs with dymnamic images:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html (Dynamic Images in PDF - What 32k Limit? )
I have installed this application on Oracle's free workspace to test.
The issue I am having is that when there is a special character in the description, such as <>'"& then the the PDF will not open. I have tried using the dmbs_xmlgen.convert to convert the description but haven't had any luck.
I'm a complete novice with xml. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Glen

I have been able to find a solution, but it's not completely perfect. I have changed the "description" field as follows:
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
The characters greater than (>), less than (<), single qoute('), and double quote (") can now all be in the description and will not cause errors. For some reason, I couldn't get the & not to give an error no matter what I tried, so I just replaced the & with the word "and". This solution will work for my needs, but it would be nice to be able to get the & to display.
Does anyone know of a way to get the & to display correctly?
Thanks again,
Glen
The complete code I am using is below:
declare
l_print_layout clob;
l_xml_data clob;
begin
-- load print layout from database
for c1 in (
select layout from eba_pdfimg_layouts where id = :P1_LAYOUT
) loop
l_print_layout := wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(c1.layout );
end loop;
-- generate XML data
for c2 in (

Gray box around images in PDF and when printing? Why?

Hi,
I'm using CS5 and I'm getting a gray box around any image embedded in my document. The box comes if I click on it when a PDF and it prints around them. I can't seem to figure this one out. I'm not used to prepping files for print and I'm trying to send this out to someone who needs to print it.
It's CMYK.
I've tried to flatten transparency using both vector and rasterize.
I've made sure the images are embedded.
I can't figure this out!!
Please, help.
Thanks.

does this look like your problem?

Missing images in Safari and Mail

Ever since upgrading to Lion earlier this year I have noticed a problem with images in Mail and Safari. I'm now on ML (10.8.2) and the problem persists. Hopefully someone can suggest a solution as it's slowly driving me a bit crazy.
In Mail, when I view an HTML email with images for the first time there is usually one image showing as missing/unloaded (little blue square with a question mark). Just one, and usually one near the top i.e. one of the first images on the page. If I refresh, e.g. view another email then instantly return to the first email, all the images are there. 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is ticked and always has been.
There is a similar problem in Safari. I load a webpage and there is usually at least one image missing/unloaded. Refreshing the page will fix the missing image. Sometimes it's the CSS file that doesn't load leaving an unformatted page, but it's more common with images. I looked in the 'Error Console' today and the error I get for the missing items is "Failed to load resource: The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument".
After the problem started I switched to Chrome and never had the problem once, but I prefer Safari and would like to switch back. I presume the almost identical issue with Mail means that they are somehow linked.
Anyone have the same issue, or any ideas as to what might be causing it?

Protecting EXE, PDF and SWF files from piracy

I am hoping others in the community have some experience with protecting their Captivate output (EXE and SWF files) from piracy. We will be selling our eLearning products developed with Captivate through our online store and want to protect them against file sharing and other forms of piracy. I have found several companies online offering DRM (digital rights management) and SAS (software activation services) that require users to enter a license key to use the products. I am looking for any recommendations from users who have implemented these types of services. What provider did you use and what issues did you encounter. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
taking away from others efforts, not the code.
Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
(I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
they exist.
My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
it established.
For people who make components for sale, this could be an
issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

Exporting images in PDF and broadcasting with custom template error in BI 7

Hello! We're in the process of creating broadcast reports and are running into some problems. We need someone with experience exporting PDF's or creating broadcasts using custom web templates in 7.0.
Our issue is two-pronged:
1) We want users to be able to export (with WAD command) web reports to PDF with the company logo. We have a custom web template with just a JPG image and analysis grid. But for some reason, when this template gets exported to PDF, the image does not get included. We've tried embedding the image into table, group, container, container-layout to no avail. Any suggestions?
2) We also need the company logo in PDF broadcast reports. We replaced the standard broadcasting web template 0BROADCATING_TEMPLATE (using RSCUST27) with a custom one, but we immediately get the "error loading template ..." when trying to access the Broadcaster. There seem to be no OSS notes for this.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thank you!!

I mean which template does online link default to when it is clicked.

Interactive PDFs and swf animation

hello,
I have created some animation to work in an interactive PDF which is in SWF format so it will work.
The problem I have is that I want to animation to play each time the page is visited within the document in acrobat, not just the first time the user goes that page and then it be fixed in the complete animation view.
I thought I might be able to make a button that would be a 'click to play' button, but the buttons don't have the option to play SWFs, only to play animation which I can't use as it has to be SWF animation to work in an Interactive PDF.
So is there another way to make the animation play more than once?
many thanks,
Chrissy

I've got the same issue here.

How to convert Images in PDF to Microsoft Word text Properly

I have images in PDF and when I try to convert it to Microsoft word, the "check marks (wingdings)" turn into the letter "D" and the rest have a lot of misspelled words.

PDF page content export reflects the "under-the-hood" quality of how the PDF was made.
This of course is driven, in part, by what the authoring application was, how content was mastered and what process was used to actually paint content to the PDF page.
http://talkingpdf.org/each-pdf-page-is-a-painting/
So --- GIGO is operative.
Goodstuff In = Goodstuff Out
OR
Garbage In = Garbage Out.
The export results tell one which of the above is in play.
As well, 'good' export of PDF actually has a prerequisite.
That is one needs a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Tagged PDF has two main design criteria -
Support Accessible PDF.
Support export of PDF page content
(See ISO 32000)
Having an ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliant PDF provides the "well-formed Tagged PDF".
Aside from ISO 3200 and ISO 14289 additional useful information is available at AIIM's web site.

Convert Multiple Images to PDF using iTextSharp?

Hello friends, in my small project i have a button for converting more than one image file to pdf, i made some search in google and found some articles about that i found one that helps me to do that but convert only two images to pdf, and i want to make
it unspecified number of image to pdf
can anyone help me please? how to do that? or give me an article about that
this is my code:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string sMergedFiles = @"C:\PDFTest\PdfReport.PDF";\\pdf file path
string sTiffFiles = "C:\\PDFTest\\TiffFiles\\";\\Tiff image files path
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(sMergedFiles, FileMode.CreateNew));
document.Open();
//here you can loop thru and call AddTiff2Pdf for multiple files
string tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "asdf.tif");\\first tiff image
AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);
tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "1234.tif");\\second tiff image
AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);
document.Close();
private void AddTiff2Pdf(string tiffFileName, ref PdfWriter writer, ref Document document)
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(tiffFileName);
int numberOfPages = bitmap.GetFrameCount(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
for (int page = 0; page < numberOfPages; page++)
bitmap.SelectActiveFrame(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, page);
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
bitmap.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(stream.ToArray());
stream.Close();
img.ScalePercent(72f / bitmap.HorizontalResolution * 100);
img.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
cb.AddImage(img);
document.NewPage();

Why only two images allowed, cause failure with third ?Oh I used another way before, a third party tool, download and add reference to project then use the following code.There is
no limitation of image amount. Ref this
article.
// Create a pdf document with a section and page added.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add();
PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
//Load a tiff image from system
PdfImage image = PdfImage.FromFile(@"D:\images\bear.tif");
//Set image display location and size in PDF
float widthFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width;
float heightFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Height;
float fitRate = Math.Max(widthFitRate, heightFitRate);
float fitWidth = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / fitRate;
float fitHeight = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / fitRate;
page.Canvas.DrawImage(image, 30, 30, fitWidth, fitHeight);
//save and launch the file
doc.SaveToFile("image to pdf.pdf");
doc.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("image to pdf.pdf");

Missing image links NOT alerted, and not in Links panel

Don't know if this is a consequence of shifting my files and account across to a new Mac Pro, and re-configuring hard drive locations where linked image files are, but... I'm working on a document that spanned systems - finally coming to completion, and I'm writing the print PDF and found this problem.
InDesign CC 9.2.1 running on Mavericks 10.9.2 is NOT indicating missing links images in the Links panel. In fact it's not indicating the image on the page is even in the document - it doesn't appear in the Links panel, even though I see the image on the page.
I noticed this when proof checking a high res print PDF, and the image looked low-res. Odd as it shouldn't be. Went back to InDesign file to interrogate the image, and found when I clicked on it, it wasn't highlighted in the Links panel - where I have the Warnings, dpi and other columns active so I can quickly check problems. It wasn't there at all. InDesign seems to be blind to the image. When I right click the rogue images on the page I don't get the 'Graphics' section at the bottom of the drop down menu as I do with ok images. I guess because InDesign doesn't even know it's there?
Basically the image is visibly on the page, but InDesign doesn't appear to know about it..... What gives? I'm having to go through a long document now clicking on each image to check it's showing in the Links panel, then relinking every image that appears to be completely lost as far as InDesign is concerned not even knowing it's there.
I have "Reset All Warning Dialogues". Made no difference.
I worry about what other files are going to do this to me now and how much time will be wasted carefully checking validity of every image.

Thanks Peter, maybe that's it although I don't recall using that method of putting the image in the layout. It's not something I would normally do. Its some months ago mind you, and the client did send me a bunch of images to consider using so I may have just dragged their images into my early layout while scamping up the first draft, and it may be these images that have been 'lost' by I.D.
I normally create an image frame into which, using Edit - Place, select the image from a folder on the drive.
Sometimes (because the preview of images in the ID Place dialogue is so slow to build) I view images in a Finder window and select from there, drag-and-drop into a pre-sized Image frame in I.D.
I may have dragged an image direct from the Finder into Indesign not first creating an image frame for it to be placed into. But I thought I.D. would still note it as a Link asset, else why allow images of any kind into the layout if Links doesn't keep track of them for pre-press proofing use etc.
The (in the end just 4) images that were completely unknown to InDesign were all in image frames, scaled and cropped within the frame bounds. So I wasn't to know months later that I may have drag-dropped the image files uncropped etc into ID then subsequently cropped them (if indeed I had).
If you're suggesting this method of adding images quickly into I.D. won't list them in the Links panel, then I will make a conscious effort never to use that quick method again!

Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

Hello!
I've a problem that really scares me.
I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

I now have a hint:
As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
Do you think this is the reason?

Indesign export of PDFs - images in pdf fragmented, missing metadata

Can anyone help with this one?
We use InDesign CS3 to create PDF 1.6's, directly from InDesign export. The metadata contained in the images on the layout normally are visible in the PDF when you control click and select "show metadata" on the image with Acrobat's touch up object tools. Ocassionally, there is an unknown problem in the process where a given image will "fragment" -- when you click on it in the PDF, a frame surrounds only part of the image, and there's no "show metadata" choice to select. This is kiling us because we doconstruct those PDFs and put them into our long term archive, and the metadata is missing there!
Anyone know of any reason InDesign export would give such results?
Any help would be appreicated!
Thanks.

Thanks Bob,
We're just reviewing detailed data now, so it's unclear whether we have any cases where it's a placed PDF (most are tiffs, psds, etc). Good point - if the pdf within is a 1.3 that would be a problem. . .same too with a placed ID file, though I know for sure we're not doing that. I'll post what we find.
We are ok with regard to version patches. But, Bob, do you by chance know of any specific bugfixes (i haven't read the release notes) that address this? that would help to know too, so as to rule out some times in the past before the patch was applied where the problem occured.
Meanwhile David W. Goodrich's reminder of adobe technote 332920 if i read it right, suggests non raster images would fail to pass metadta, at least in CS2, i wonder if that applies to cs3 too. . .

Problems exporting PDF in CS5, text missing, images not transparent....

I am using InDesign CS5 v7.04 on a Mac running 10.8.1.
(This exact problem has happened to me in previous versions of ID as well though?)
When I export a document to PDF and view in Preview OR place into another ID document, every other page has an issue where some or all of the text is missing and images that should be transparent are not or are missing as well. Actually, the first two pages in my current document are OK, the rest, every other page is missing text, images, has non-transparent images that should be transparent... The font I am using is Avenir and the imaages are .png created in PS. The images are in the master.
WHY is this happening? What do I need to do to fix?
Thanks in advance for your assistance. I am a mostly self-taught ID user since version 1, just getting back into using it after a long break.

pixelpusher_mama wrote:
OK, sorry, yes, it looks the same in Acrobat as it does in Preview as it does when placed into ID.
I was able to save as a non-current version of PDF (Acrobat 4) and it shows correctly. (???) What am I missing, here? I mean, I have a work around, but?
So the original PDF is bad, rather than there being a problem with the file after placing. That implicates the original document, and since Acrobat 4 compatibility works it's probably either a transparency or layer issue.
Try trashin g your prefs and export again and see if it works. See Replace Your Preferences

Basic problem in displaying the pdf and images in Application express

Hi,
I have oracle 10g and application express.
I have already stored the images and pdfs using PLSQL in table with following columns
TableA(vessel number, cruise number, image blob, pdf blob)
now for every vessel, cruise combination there is a particular image and pdf.
so in my htmldb page.
I have created 2 select list for vessel and cruise respectively.
now on selecting these lists i want to diaplay their corresponding image and pdf.
How can i do this? I just somehow miss the basic knowledge of how to do this.
Should i create a html region or a report region for the image and pdf.
under what region the image and pdf goes. and on sleecting the vessel, cruise can i show hyperlinks and upon selecting the hyperlinks a image and pdf opens in a new window.
or can i create 2 regions and display the image and pdf right in the region itself.
Can someone please guid eme please.
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
I suggest switching to the Application Express forum.
Pretty sure it'll be easier for you to find the answers over there
