Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

Hi
Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
Here is my snapshot of the issue:
1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
41
( À
4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
5. But I have another Report pdf with the same issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
49
(à øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ðà øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
2. More problems with 9.1.3
3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
Can someone urgently look into this?
Regards
Hari

I am calling Distiller using command line.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
(I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

Error: EXOpenExport() while converting xlsb file to PDF

I am getting this error while converting .XLSB file to PDF using IBR :Step PDFExport forced conversion failure by conversion engine because of error: EXOpenExport() failed: no filter available for this file type (0x0004). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for all your intrest.
The error message I get is... "an unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to process the request".
When I then try to convert again, the system opens the ppt, but then does not do anything, and the error message does not show, for all presentations I try to convert.
I have also tried using the ribbon, but the button does not do anything once I have clicked.
I can print to PDF, but this provides an output which is not suitable, because it shows as if it each slide was printed on to paper and then put in PDF.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat to make sure nothing was corrupt.

Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

Hi,
I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,

Hope this help you

Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

Hi,
We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
Please Help,
Hezi

I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

Problem saving pages documents as postscript files and pdf files

Hello!
My problem occurs when the pages documents are saved as pdfs -they go 'screwy'. If you save as a pdf (through file, print, print as), the certain fonts show a holding maarker rather than spaces on the screen but prints fine. If you save as a postscript (file, print, print as) and convert to a pdf in Preview the fonts are fine on the screen but are blown out when it prints and are all over the page.
If anyone has any suggestions I am more than happy to try anything.
Veronica

As every user, the 'poor silly man' may download "*_Pages User Guide_*" thru the Help menu.

Converting Doc files to PDF using command line ?

Hello,
I need to automate the process of converting (in command line) word files to pdf.
Is Acrobat distiller Server the right product ? or is there another product from Adobe that would allow me to reach this goal ?
NB : currently using pdfcreator in command line but have some stability problems now...
thanks a lot
Florent

Acrobat Distiller Server can only convert Postscript to PDF. You may look at this product:

Converting a file to pdf using API

I am using APIs for converting a word document into pdf file. I added 2 jar files adobe-convertpdf-client and adobe-generatepdf-client in my application and tried to convert a word document into pdf format. For this requirement should i have install livecycle, application server, Database etc. Can it be done using a java console application by using these jar files. If so Can anyone give me a sample code?

Since cfdocument can render HTML, you may easily convert JPG
to PDF, using
<cfdocument format="PDF">
<img src="myphoto.jpg" alt="my photo">
</cfdocument>
However, converting DOC to PDF or PPT to PDF with Coldfusion
is not currently possible. DOC and PPT have proprietary MS Office
formatting that is foreign to Coldfusion.

Converting excel file to PDF using Adobe 9 standard on windows XP

I have installed office 2010 SP1 on a computer and it already has adobe 9 installed. user never had problem with converting multi sheet excel workbook to PDF using MSoffice 2003.
Now, when we open excel files in EXCEL 2010 then try to print it to adobe 9, it asks for a filename and we type a name and it convert the first 2 sheet and then it asks again for the other filename and if we enter other name it print other sheets into second file. so basically it splits to 2 PDF files for no reason.
I tested same file on my laptop with windows 7 and adobe standard 9 and office 2010 and i got same result.
anybody knows what is the issue?

Have you updated Acrobat? Have you tried printing to another file format just to see if it is an issue with Acrobat or OFFICE 2010. OFFICE 2010 has forced many folks to upgrade to AA X to obtain compatibility.

Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

font substition in drivers for symbol is: no substitution.
any ideas what is causing these errors and how we can fix it??
tia

Ok, there are two things here. Distiller Server can't find some fonts.
This is not a substitution problem. It may not have Times-Roman, but
it needs to have Symbol. This should be included with the
installation. Make sure Distiller's font folders include Distiller's
shipped fonts.
Second, there is an error in the PostScript file. What program is
making this PostScript file (perhaps an add-on for Word)?

AI file to PDF using Distiller?

Hello peeps,
Easy question I think? Using Distiller [I've got Acrobat 8 Pro], I can create PDF's of EPS's I've created in AI, I can selected any number of files that I want and Distiller produces the PDF's one after another. I do this so I can send low-res proofs to clients etc.
My question is; can I do the same with AI files, because at the moment, Distiller is saying a big fat no to me? My AI files haven't got any embeded images [they are still links], but I can 'save as' a PDF in Illustrator just fine - which is what I do when I'm creating the print ready version.
Thanks in advance.

Something to consider:
Customize PDF presets - by creating a new preset you may be able to establish the parameters you need.
Looking over AI's Help system in Adobe's LiveDocs, it seems that you ought to be able to make an Adobe PDF option that provides the desired output PDF.
Also, the Help system has a segment on processing multiple files that may be of interest.
Be well...

You must update it through iTunes from your computer.
Connect your device to your PC with latest iTunes installed. Once successfully connected, it will appear under Device on the lsft Pane of the iTunes. Then on the right Pane, it will show you your current iPad IOS version and a button to update or "Check for update"

Converting .doc file to PDF using Word 2008 - does not convert as is..

I am trying to convert a .doc file (Word 2008) to a PDF file. I have tried using the save as function and the print function. Both will work however everytime 2 things happen:
1. The PDF file splits into 2 files (the document is 20 pages long)
2. In one area of text, two words are overlapped (in the PDF version) but are not overlapped in the .doc version.
How do I convert the .doc to a PDF with out these two items occuring?
Thanks in advance for your help
T.

I do not think this is an app but rather a function of MS-Word, the very function that does not work with high fidelity on Mac. Any document of substance (greater than 10,000 words, imbedded images, figures, tables, or high formatting) will not convert accurately to PDF on Macbook Pro.
Using newest MS Office with updated service pacs, and experienced users. This is a puzzling incompetency on the Apple team's side. And there have been no fixes. One could argue this is a MS problem since the software is theirs. Probably true, but the problem occurs on Mac platforms, not PC platforms. Apple can drive improvements. Not sure Apple customers can.

Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

Hi,
My requirement is to read the .txt file and convert it into .pdf file after changing certain text.
Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja

Hi.
You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
It is a good example to use the iText Library.
The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
I hope you can find the right solution.
Kindest regards, have a great day

Convert a file to PDF using Acrobat

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f73.w.h tml

I am not that familiar with AutoCAD, but depending on the version of AutoCAD and Acrobat you may be able to create the files from Acrobat. However, you would need to have the PDF Maker plugin functional in AutoCAD and I think this may be version dependent. For those that can help with that info, you need to provide info on your OS and the versions (& subversions) of both AutoCAD and Acrobat. I have no idea what 1 year subscription you are talking about. Acrobat is a purchase item for several hundred $$.
In terms of who is here, it is a user forum and only occasionally do Adobe emplyees drop by. This is not the place to ask questions of Adobe, but to questions that other users can answer. So again you need to provide the info on what you are working with and maybe we can help. If you have Acrobat, you can always simply print to the Adobe PDF printer.
