Missing words creating PDF with Acrobat 7 (newly installed InDesign CS5)

Since a few days I have some curiosity creating PDF files!
Randomly the PDF output is missing whole words in the document but having spares in the right tracking for them in the document.
It occurs that the missing words are subject to another font however not all words in this font are missing in the document.
Also my printer tell's me if he's going to print the PDF (in this case a serial letter with pre-stamped addresses) his computer is breaking down completely and also printing hieroglyphs.
This document was printed from MS Word 2003 with "Adobe PDF" as printer.
I also use FreePDFXP, though the same error comes up.
In addition I tried several settings for the PDF with no effect in the outcome.
I am still working with Acrobat 7 (from CS2 suite) under WinXP Professional SP3 and hadn't any problems before installing my InDesign CS5 upgrade a few days ago.
I only can assume that the problem is InDesign CS5 but cannot prove it.
Anyone an idea on how to solve the problem?!
I am really annoyed about this since for the pre-stamped letters I already paid money to the mail service and the need to be in the mail today - otherwise I am loosing several 100 Euros to the paper-bin).

Thanks for your feedback.
However I checked all the settings in the joboptions. All fonts are to be embedded (100%) and I also actively selected the fonts to be transferred.
I am using TheSans from LucasFonts as Open Type.
For my document I have SemiLight as standard style and Bold for accentuation.
While the bold style will be printed in "bold only" lines, it is not printed in lines/paragraphs where also the SemiLight style is used.
When I change color of the words in bold, the effect inverts and only the bold style words are displayed but not the SemiLight text!
I have a second laptop with the same system and software configuration (Win XP Professional SP3; Acrobat 7), where the same document runs smoothly.
That's why I assume, that it must be the Indesign CS5 upgrade causing trouble (it's the only new addition to the first laptop).
Unfortunately Adobe has no answer here also.
The only solution would be to adopt my documents for this effect and follow the logic of the machine instead of my mind...
As we do so often since invention of computers...

Need to create pdf with thumbnail pages from InDesign

How can I create a pdf with multiple InDesign pages on each sheet (thumbnails)? I have snow leopard, cs6. Thank you.

On a Mac, the way I like to do it is to start by generating a PDF from INDD. Open the PDF in Apple's "Preview" app. Ctrl+P. There are all sorts of options for layout — including "Pages per Sheet" under the layout option in the menu. Then, at the bottom left-hand of the print dialog box, you'll see the PDF button. After you've made your page-layout decisions, click PDF and choose your options for PDF delivery.
In the instance documented with the attached graphics, I selected "Mail PDF." The thumbnailed PDF is created and attached to a new email.
Maybe this helps.

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Dear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,
Bart

Converting word to pdf with acrobat 9/distiller can not retain hyperlinks to web docs

Have tried going to settings in Acrobat only see option to retain book marks
. Online help indicates there is setting for RTF which would retain hyperlinks. This is supposed to be
in the settings extras folders but is not. I am running Office 2000.

MS Office compatibility for Acrobat 9's PDFMaker starts with Office XP (Office 2002/Office 10).

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...

How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard. It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion. How can I fix this?

The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half. Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

Hello,
Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
I have Acrobat PRO DC .
Thank you.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

Bulk convert text to PDF with Acrobat

Hi. When I convert a text file to PDF with Acrobat X Pro the character spacing in the resulting file is incorrect. The columns of numbers which do correctly line up in the text file, do not line up correctly in the PDF file. I adjust the settings for the conversion in the CREATE PDF FROM WEB PAGE box and I choose a fixed-width font. If I use Adobe PDF Converter (the printer driver) the result is perfect. If I open the text file with Microsoft Word and then convert it to PDF with PDFMaker, it is also perfect. I want to use Acrobat so that I can bulk convert my 300 text files to PDF. Can you please help as I have tried everything? Thank you. Paul Pontikis (Deakin University)

Thank you for responding LoriAUC. I have 300 (*.txt) files that I only ever open with Notepad. I don't every open them in a web browser. I want to bulk convert them to PDF. The orientation of the resulting PDFs must be landscape. It appears that the only way to select LANDSCAPE in Acrobat is to adjust the settings in the CREATE PDF FROM WEB PAGE box. It seems that Acrobat uses its HTML Conversion Engine to convert text files to PDF. When I do this and then bulk convert them using Bulk Convert Files to PDF, the orientation is correct, that is, landscape instead of the default portrait setting, however the character spacing is imprecise and the columns of data are wavy.

Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

Hi!
I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
If anyone can help!
This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
I just updated my software, thanks for that!
Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista. I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone. I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently. When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes. A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears. When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery. Any suggestions?

AcroTray is running. Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way. I have not disabled it with Vista. I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close. I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window. I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause.

Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

Something to try -
Having installed Acrobat Standard you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer installed.
From your authoring application do a "file-print" and select the Adobe PDF printer rather than the attached local or network printer / plotter.
