Need Robohelp's PDF writer again

I seem to have deleted RoboHelp's PDF writer from my list of
printers. Is there any way to add it back
without reinstalling the entire Creative Suite2?
As a note, Robo generated lots of files for outputting a PDF
in the SSL and then just vanished without even a puff of smoke. I
assume it died when it couldn't connect to its PDF printer? At any
rate, I don't see anything in my list of printers that looks like
it ought to be a pdf printer for Robohelp.

That's very strange, because we've been using iText in our spreadsheet reporting application for years now and it never failed.

How can users print CHM or WebHelp to a PDF w/o PDF Writer driver?

A functionality has been requested by Tech Support due to requests from customers. Apparently they want to not only be able to print sections and/or the entire help file (WebHelp and CHM), but they also want to be able to print it to PDF. Some are able to do this because they have a PDF Writer driver installed, but I think to fully provide that functionality, the customer shouldn't actually need the driver?
is it possible to add the ability write to PDF, rather than to a printer, when doing the right-click and select to print from top level (or any level)?

Sorry but either you need to make PDFs available or the user does need a PDF writer on their PC.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

Need to extract PDF form answers into an XML file

Hi Adobe gurus,we have a requirement like this. We have a Time Tracking and Project Monitoring System whose DB is a Oracle 10g R2. We want to automate our ''Meeting Minute'' processing.
1. The project lead will write minutes into a form PDF. i.e. a PDF where people can type in information into fields and also tick check-boxes etc.
2. The PDF will be e-mailed to the project manager.
3. Project manager will save the PDF in a HDD directory.
4. Then he will run a program.
5. Program will pickup all the PDFs in that directory one-by-one.
6. For each PDF, the program should read the fields and get the values for the form fields and create an .XML file for it.
7. Now, another program will read the XML files, extract the information and store those in a DB against each project lead.
I went through the thread PDF to XML conversion, but unfortunately it has no complete solution. This problem is present for lots of people and I would be really grateful if Adobe experts can give a complete solution. In order to make it easy to answer, I have made a small questionnaire below:
(A.) When creating a PDF form. i.e. a PDF where you can type information to questions and tick checkboxes etc., can you create the PDF with structure. i.e. for example, the field into which a user types project name should be identifiable (as a tag or something like like PROJECT_NAME), when we create an XML out of it later? Is this called creating a tagged PDF?
(B.) Does this mean that we cannot convert an untagged PDF to XML?
(C.) In order to convert a PDF to XML do we need a XSD or DTD? I ask this because, I some converters from the web, like this one, asks for the XSD. And this tool which converts a PDF to XML, asks for a rules set before converting the PDF. So is this necessary?? i.e. Do we have to have our own XSD and rules set, or does the PDF->XML utility convert to XML based on predefined ADOBE PDF tags??
(D.) Do we HAVE TO use the Adobe LiveCycle ES DLLS to do this??? I ask this becuase most of the free PDF-2-XML convertes give wrong results and has no guarantee.
(E). Can you please elaborate the process of converting PDFs to XML. Please note that we are doing this using a program (i.e. we process a batch of PDFs).
(F.) If we use ADOBE DLLS then do we have to purchase the Adobe LiveCycle ES product??
(G.) If we purchase Adobe LC ES then can we use the DLLs in Java, .Net??? Or is it possible to call the Adobe DLLs only using C or C++ (I read about this on the .Net)?
(H.) Is Adobe LiveCycle ES a separate product from the Adobe SDK and Adobe PDF writer??
Your advice would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi de Silva.

Thanks, however, I just want the user to be able to hit the Submit by E-mail button, and e-mail the form to the Manager. I believe, that this is what this button should be able to do, except that it converts the file to .XML format.
Still looking for help. thanks

Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF Writer replaces default printer

I have tried to look this up but no one seems to have a definitive answer for this problem. First let me explain my organization's set-up and what the problem is.
I work for a high school with several PC's running a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP in our network. We have several computer labs (all of the labs are running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit). Our network administrator has set the default network printer for each lab in Group Policy. Our server is running Windows 2008 Server R2. Our labs have Adobe Design Suite CS4 (with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4).
The problem? When students log on to the computers, the default printer gets changed from the network printer that it should be to the Adobe PDF Writer. I have been unable to find a solution to this problem anywhere. What I need to know first of all is what type of problem is this? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to turn it off? Is it in Group Policy? Is it in Adobe Acrobat? Someone on another forum even suggested it might be a Microsoft Word problem. Is Word the program that changes the default? Is it something else?
PLEASE if anyone has a solution to this problem let me know! We're wracking our brains over here.
Thanks!

Hi,
I believe I am having similar issues to yourself. I have been looking for solutions for a day or two now but can not find anything. Have you managed to find a resolution or work around?

Adobe PDF Writer (v5.0) won't install; can't find LPT1 port

I've searched extensively for an answer on this question, and the most common answer is no answer or use a newer PDF creator.
The department I support uses database software that was never programmed to support any PDF creator past PDF Writer, so all users of this software have Acrobat Professional 5.0.5 installed using the "Custom" option to include the PDF Writer.
All workstations run XP, sp3. I have never seen this problem on any other machine. I have installed version 5 on other machines with newer installations of Acrobat (7,8, and 9) with no functionality issues. The machine that won't install the PDF Writer had V8 installed. I have removed Acrobat V8 to try to get the V5 installation to run. I have tried running the V5 installation first without PDF Writer, and then adding in the PDF Writer.
In all cases, as soon as you click "Install" after checking "PDF Writer", the error "Acrobat PDF Writer requires a LPT1: printer port. Setup could not find this required port. The PDF Writer component will not be installed. To install PDF Writer, add a LPT1: port and run setup again" always appears, and the installation tries to continue without the PDF Writer.
This computer has a fully-functioning LPT1 port (as well as LPT2 and LPT3) which is not in use by any other printers (according to the printer properties display). XP shows the port under Device Manager as functioning properly, although I have both disabled/re-enabled the port, as well as uninstalling it and rebooting, at which point it re-installs properly.
All high-priority Windows XP updates are current and again, on similar machines, similarly imaged, I have never had this problem using the same media. I have tried installing a printer on this port and adding drivers. All machine users have Administrator privileges (unfortunately)
Due to the large quantity of data and software on this user's machine (and the fact that otherwise it runs great), I would REALLY rather not re-image the machine.
Any help or ideas will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hey, good idea, and I hadn't done it, but nothing is remaining from any previous Acrobat installs (according to the Cleanup Utility). I do pretty good registry cleanup on these machines as I work on them for other reasons/updates.
Other ideas?

PDF writer and distiller do not appear as available in windows 7 using Acrobat 5

Trying to install my Acrobat 5 with Windows 7. The pdf writer and distiller appear to instal after satisfying the syetm requirement for a postscript driver. The software then installs fully but the pdf writer and distiller do not show up under printers. There is a warning that a compatibility issue exists, how can this be fixed please?

Acrobat 5 is not supported on Windows 7. You need to upgrade. Sorry about that.

Can I install a PDF writer such as CutePDF on my Mac? Or, how do I create PDF files for saving in files?

I am looking to install a PDF writer so I can capture documents and save them to a customer file. Is there an Apple function for this or do I need to install a PDF program?

Like Alberto Ravasio wrote, OS X contains an option to output anything you see as PDF.
See
Preview (Yosemite): Print PDFs and images
So for example, if you are doing research and see an article on Wikipedia that you want to save, you go to the File menu in Safari and select Export as PDF, give it a name, and a location on your drive. You can then open those documents with Preview or with Adobe Reader.
Similarly, if you use Pages or Numbers or Excel or Word, you can send the output to a PDF file, similar as if you were printing it. So no, you don't need a PDF writer.

But if you are looking for screen scrapers or data collectors, that is something else.
This PDF ability in OS X is a major advantage the Mac has had over the years. It is often forgotten as to how well it really works and how flexible, along with Preview, it works.

How to install only pdf writer on Windows?

Is there any way to install only the pdf writer software and plugins on a windows system?
I wont get into the details of why I need this but the system is limited on space. We are also trying to limit the footprint of Adobe acrobat due to all the security issues.
Thanks
Jas

Nope. If you just need a PDF printer, you can always find alternative products, including the free GhostScript with PDFL.

Hi,

Hi,
I have installed:
Adobe AIR
Adobe Flash Player
I found the error in ‘Events Log’ saying:
Printer Acrobat PDFWriter failed to initialize because a suitable Acrobat PDFWriter driver could not be found. The new printer settings that you specified have not taken effect. Install or reinstall the printer driver. You might need to contact the vendor for an updated driver.

Check out the printing Apps from EuroSmartz. One is Save2PDF. The "Pro" versions of others may have that as an option.

Hi Pat. I've done that, it opens up the install window again. If I click on install it says it's already installed. Nothing comes up that allows me to accept the end user agreement. I just retried and the same thing happens.
I appreciate your help.

Save As dialog window disappears when trying to save or use pdf writer

When I try to create a pdf using a pdf writer/printer, or even when i try to save a pdf file, the dialog box showing where to save it appears then immediately disappears before i can choose a name or location to save the pdf. i have tried reinstalling the reader, reooting, reinstalling the pdf writer, nothing seems to work.

I have tried multiple pdf writers including cutepdf and a proprietary pdf writer so I am pretty sure the problem lies within adobe reader. Especially since the problem occurs when I just try to save the pdf and not use the writer.

Need to convert pdf to word

need to convert pdf to word

Hi gurpreetkhalsa,
To convert a PDF file to Word format, you need ExportPDF, Adobe PDF Pack, or Acrobat. Which option you choose depends on whether you need additional features--ExportPDF is the most basic option, and offers the ability to convert to Word, Excel, or RTF.
Best,
Sara

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Hi alsu22,
The OCR system that converts documents does not recognize any cyrillic languages, such as Russian. If the text is already renderable (selectable), you may want to try converting your document without the OCR function enabled. You can find steps here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062
