Need an alternate method to create a pdf

Hello,
I am using:
strRptFilter = "[Invoice Number]=" & invnum
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "InvoicePDF", acFormatPDF, ("c:\PDFInvoices\" & invnum & ".pdf"), False
where strRptFilter is the On Open Event of the Report
The problem is it takes about 2 minutes to create each pdf. If I use .xps as the format it processes very quickly. If I run the report in access in opens in seconds. I need to use .pdf, but cannot have 2 minutes between file creation.
Is there another method to create a pdf.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Steve

I need to know how to create a pdf document larger than 129 inches from MS Project 2007

I am completely new to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I need to know how to create a PDF which is larger than 129 inches for use on a plotter from MS Project 2007. I have searched the Adobe support articles with no success. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. I have tried that but it will only let me go to 129 X 129 inches, no larger.

Best method for creating a PDF Brochure???

Hello,
I would like to create a printable PDF brochure and post it on my website [url deleted by host]. I’ve tried just using the existing web pages and think I could get something better looking starting from scratch. I just started working with Acrobat 9 extended and am not too familiar with it’s potential. Any suggestions whether I should do it all in Acrobat, or use a different program and import it. I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite 4 with Fireworks and Illustrator.
Thanks.

Use whatever desktop publishing application that you have then use Acrobat to print to a PDF. Do
n't use Acrobat for the layout. That's not what it is for.

How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

Hello Gurus,
I have a big question:
How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
Is that Possible?
Thanks!!!
rgds.
Miguel Angel.

Hi,
the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

Best method for dynamically populating PDF on the web?

Hi there,
I'm trying to find a web-based solution to populate text within an existing PDF with a person's name (using a name variable within the PDF body copy in several spots). I know that LiveCycle Designer is the best method for creating dynamic PDF's but since I'm on a Mac, LiveCycle Designer wasn't packaged with my CS5 Suite / Acrobat 9 and I'm not eager to run windows in parallel and pay for acrobat pro a second time just to have it on windows for the LiveCycle functionality...CS5 wasn't cheap ha.
So I'm trying to find out if there are alternative ways to achieve this without going down that road. I don't mind writing PHP or using some other programming language to set it up online, but I just seem to be finding many different methods coming up and cannot find the most straightforward solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

LiveCycle Designer won't do what you want. It requires server software: LiveCycle Forms will do the trick.
You can find information on it here: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/forms/

I have pdf file with 500 pages created from AutoCad file. In all pages, I have different document numbers.The file is not editable in pdf. How to change all the document numbers using "Comment" feature? Any alternate method? alternate method? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Windows -7 platform.

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Need to create a PDF Portfolio programatically using the Adobe SDK in C# from a Windows Service.

What classes/methods should I be using?
We need to create a PDF portolio from a windows service written in C#.
We need to merge several PDF documents into a single PDF portfolio from our windows service (programatically).
I have seen documentation in the Adobe help on how to do it using the Adobe UI, but we need to do this step programatically from our windows servie.
Thanks!

You can't access Acrobat from a service - since we won't run in Service mode...only in standard Application mode. In addition, we don't run on a server.
But if you were doing this from a standard application - then you'll want to read the JavaScript documentation in the SDK as well as the documents about the .NET/JS bridge.

Hi,
By triggering some events, you can display a PDF file. Use the below piece of code for you requirement.
In the triggering event,
write the code for the smartform data to be displayed.
Ex: EXPORT <structure1> FROM <structure1>
      TO MEMORY ID '<Memory>'.
CALL METHOD current_activity_object->process_document
        EXPORTING
          channel = '<Event ID>'
        IMPORTING
          document = lv_document.
Reward points if helpful.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

Abobe X Pro needs "additional files to create a pdf..."

Error message:
Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
1) just an 'ole lady here - on a pc - not a system administrator (though I think have admin rights in windows 7).
The details:
a) had a lenovo small format pc running XP - Acrobat X Pro worked fine on this pc, could create pdfs and fillable forms etc.
b) Just bought a used pc with Windows 7 Enterprise - after a week of issues - duh - I realized X Pro was not working on the new(used) pc, except to let me open a pdf, and even add a text box, or sign or line out a change in a pdf. - that is all it will let me do..
c) I had a purchased CD of Adobe Pro Standard. In 2012, I was able to upgrade it to Adobe X Pro 10, while still on XP, with a digital download, for which I have the registration key.
The X Pro version showing this morning was 10.1.12 (before I uninstalled it, and I assume after various updates).
I've also tried repairing the installation - and selecting the function I need PDFMaker (to work with MS Word) -
I have uninstalled Adobe, and re-installed it, from my old downloaded file the version is 10.0.0
Finally read that I should have deactivated it on the old pc.
Called Support, and they gave me an all new, full version (download) of Adobe X Pro at 5 pm est, and a NEW S/N.
I uninstalled, the old version, ran ccleaner, restarted the pc, installed the new X Pro 10.0.0, used the new s/n and still cannot use Adobe.
Still can't, create a pdf, combine files from word or create a form from a word doc - nada. Also, do not seem to have Adobe Reader anywhere on this pc, either (a good thing from what I've read).
When I was on XP I did not have this problem. Now that I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, I have the problem.
(I am using MS Office 2003 and do plan to update to 2010. Using Google Apps for Work, small business working from home, did not like Office 365 since I am on a MiFi hotspot for internet (country living))
Maybe all of this was more information than you'd want or need... just was not sure what is is causing the conflict/problem.
Feeling out of my depth with this and really need some guidance / help / specific steps to take - Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually, it's a breath of fresh air getting all of the info needed to help.
But now the bad news. You're in the forum for Adobe Reader, but you want to post in the Acrobat forum from the sounds of it (many more pro's there for your product).
Here's a link and good luck. Acrobat

I just paid almost $10 to create a pdf from a jpg file, but I did it so that I could edit it. Now I find out I needed a different Adobe package that would create the pdf AND let me edit it. What do I do now?

Hi Marion,
PDF pack is meant to convert files to pdf format, Here's the feature list : Convert Word to PDF, Convert PDF to Word & Merge PDFs | Adobe PDF Pack
In order to Create, Convert, edit pdf files, one needs to purchase Acrobat Software, Here's a feature list of Acrobat Pro : Features, PDF documents | Acrobat XI Pro
However, you can download a free 30 day trial of Acrobat software using the following link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
