Need help with PDF/X-1a

I am beyond frustrated here so I hope someone can help me!!!! Ii have Adobe 8 Standard and I can't find the PDF/X-1a in my distiller. I need this particular preset to upload a book cover. The website won't accept any other format. The only thing I have in my distiller is PDF/A-1b.
Does anyone know where I can get the correct distiller? Everyone I know with Adobe 8 has the PDF/X-1a in their options and they don't remember having to do anything special to get it.

Assuming you have Acrobat installed, it would not hurt to verify compliance after the document is created. With the doc open (on my vesion 9) Advanced > Print Production > Preflight > PDF/X Compliance > Verify compliance with PDF/X-1a hit analyze
Note that a document must have a Title in the Title box under Document > Properties (ctrl+d) to pass X-1a and, for whatever reason, analyze and fix cannot add this.
And I'm far from the resident expert here..

Need help with pdf file

I have the version Adobe Reader XI and I can't open up a pdf attachment. I tried all the troubleshooting in the help menu but nothing is working. I have to be able to open up pdf file every day. HELP

Okay the pdf file has a little (save) at the bottom of the file and when you click on it, it says (save to my computer) When I click on this it does not give me an option of where to put the file it just blinks for a secondlike it saved it somewhere but when I go into my c drive and look I can't find it or when I go into adobe reader I can't find it so I tried right clicking on the save to my computer and got these messages
open
Open in tab
open in new window
save target as
Now I have tried all of these and it does the same thing. Just blinks for a second like it did something but again I can't find the file. I really would like to just go back to opening the file in my email. Do you think if I uninstalled Adobe reader X1 and reinstalled another adobe reader that might get me back to what I used to have? This just happened yesterday and I have the same browser and haven't changed anything on my browser but I did update adobe reader so I was thinking it had something to do with Adobe reader X1.
If you don't think this will work then go ahead and walk me through saving the pdf file but so far I have not been able to open or save it.

New to Dreamweaver and need help with PDF and Word

I'm trying to put forms on my web page http://www.troop4084.org and I cannot get them to show up on the internet. I have them in the folder. If there is a step-by-step process to do this?

Your images are in the 'images' folder:
http://www.troop4084.org/Images/Anacortes%20Sign.jpg
The pdfs are neither in the images folder or where the links says they are in the site folder itself.
See the link below - It says the FOS.pdf is in the site folder itself. Not in any other folders.
http://www.troop4084.org/FOS.pdf
If you upload the FOS.pdf to the site folder on your server the link will be correct.
or you can put the FOS.pdf in the 'images' folder and change the link to as below:
http://www.troop4084.org/images/FOS.pdf
or you may want to create a 'pdf' folder on your server and upload the 'pdfs' into that with the link below:

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

I would need help with the following please: I need to save some of my email on a disk. I was going to Print, then Save PDF but then I am stuck. Help please. Thanks. Elisabeth

I would need help with saving some eamil messages to a disk to unclutter my email. How can I do this please?
Thanks.
Elisabeth

Open the email and then from the File menu select Save As Rich Text Format. That'll save it to open in TextEdit. If you want a pdf then open the email and do command-p (Print) and then from the PDF drop down box lower left corner select Save as PDF.

No support for pse4, need help with help and everything else.What's a layer? How can I get help PDF from CD? I don't have a clue how to use this. I have a Macbook pro.

Need help with help pse4 not supported by adobe. how to do topics not available and I have never used any thing like this. Help says there is a download but have not been able to get it. What's a rookie to do ? Is there somewhere I can go to find out how to use PSE4?

The internet is overflowing with tutorials on PSE. Just google what you want and include Photoshop Elements 4 as part of your search term, or go to the library and they may have several different books on PSE 4. For PSE 4, you won't find a mac specific book, but that doesn't matter because the editor is the same on either program. Just substitute Command for Ctrl and Option for Alt in the keystrokes, and ignore anything about the organizer.
Some popular sites for learning elements:

youtube has a lot of video tutorials, too.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help with installation

I recently received a laptop from school to access my online classes. When I tried to use Adobe Reader I received the following message: Adobe Reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried tech support at school and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. During the installation process I received the following error: Error 1321 The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/Onix32dll. I need this program for school. Can some one please help me.

Hello again, Michael,
Was unable to do the UAC changes. Buttons where not highlighted. I just went ahead and uninstalled Adobe and downloaded Foxitsoftware and it works. Thanks for all your help Michael you have made my online school experience better.
Sincerely,

Subject: Need help with installation
Hello again, Sherri:
It's my pleasure to provide assistance when I can :•) Having just recently graduated after 7 years of effort just to get a 2-year degree, I can relate to needing software to get class work accomplished. I will do everything I can to make it happen for you today.
Since you didn't mention, the UAC setting, I'd like you to disable it for me if it isn't already:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Under User Account and Family settings, click on the "Add or remove user account"
3. Click on any user account
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5. Under "Make changes to your user account", click on the "Change security settings" link
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer - do so when ready
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Reader after the reboot in order for the problem to go away, but that part I am not certain of. Try to duplicate the issue prior to taking that step.
If you are unable to resolve issues with Adobe Reader, I recommend using a different reader that has much less bloat and is updated regularly:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
FoxIT is a FREE alternative to using Adobe's Reader. Support for free Adobe products is limited forums such as this. The same holds true for open source alternatives except the manufacturer usually helps support their forums while Adobe doesn't monitor this forum or any like it. I know how important it is for you to focus on your classes so don't beat your head against a wall just because Reader won't work when a viable solution exists.
Best of success in your pursuit of knowledge!
Michael

Help with pdf tasks

Hello,
I am trying to automate a couple of specific tasks with pdf files but I am having some trouble. At my job we are printing files to pdf but afterwards we must go back and edit the pdf files. Basically what we need to do is this (in order):
1) Rotate the first 'one to three' pages. The first page(s) need to be rotated counterclockwise but it can be 1-3 pages that need this. All we know is that they always appear first. These pages are very similiar in content so I was thinking about making the program search for a keyword common to those pages then rotate it if it finds that keyword. That way we can ensure that its only rotating the pages which need to be rotated.
2) The last 3 pages of the document need to be moved to the top. These documents vary in number of pages so I cant just tell the program to move certain pages numbers to the top. All we know is that its always the last 3 pages of any document that need to be moved to the top. Also, just for clarification is another way to reorder pages in Acrobat besides dragging them with the mouse?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Fazal

Both of these could be implemented using JavaScript, perhaps using a batch sequence. #2 is easy, and #1 may or may not be possible/reliable based on the actual content of the document.
For #1, a script is able to loop through the words on a page to search for one or more words. If found, it can look at the position of the word on the page, and if it meets the position criteria, use the setPageRotations document method to rotate the page.
For #2, just use the movePage document method to move the last three pages.
If you need help with the code, consider posting in the Acrobat Scripting forum. Include more information for #1 if you do.

Help with PDF Javascript calculation involving checkboxes

Hello Everyone,
I have a PDF Form, and need help with a calculation.
For the sake of simplicity, Lets say I have 5 fields. FSA1 and FSA2 are checkboxes. TotalClaimed1 and TotalClaimed2 are text fields which allow only a numerical input.
The last box, FSA_Total, should add the value from TotalClaimed1 if FSA1 is checked, and it should also add the value from TotalClaimed2 if FSA2 is checked.
The code is malfunctioning, however. Something is causing it to add to the total every time the box is checked. Its almost like the checking off of the box is what causes the addition.
It seems like the code is being read as "When the box is checked, add the value to the total", so each time the box gets checked, it adds to the total again.
and it should be "IF the box is checked, add the value to the total" so if there is a value in the field, and the box is checked, that value is passed on to the total; and if the box is not checked, the value is ignored.
Can anyone spot what might be causing this? Code is below.
var claim1 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed1').value),
    claim2 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed2').value),
    fsabox = parseInt(this.getField('FSA_Total').value);
if (this.getField('FSA1').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim1;
if (this.getField('FSA2').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim2;
event.value = fsabox;
Thanks
Thisguy1234

This is a custom calculation script for FSA_Total, correct? The code is working correctly, it's just not what you want. Assuming this is a custom calculation script in the FSA_Total field, it should be something like:
var sum = 0;
var claim1 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed1').value, 10),
    claim2 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed2').value, 10),
// Add field values if corresponding check boxes are selected
if (getField('FSA1').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim1;
if (getField('FSA2').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim2;
// Set this field value
event.value = sum;
Why are you using parseInt, exactly?
