Numbered lines in pdf file

Converted Word file with numbered lines to pdf, but the numbers themselves did not convert. How do I add numbers to pdf lines?

Closely evaluate the authoring file's configuration. If an "auto-number" style prefix was used you may want to look that over. Regardless, with a correct configuration the numbers would be part of the content that goes to the PDF.
Be well...

Thin lines in pdf file

Hi all!
I have a question. The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
1. General - only media size
2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
4. Graphic - none
5. Color Managment - none
6. Advanced - none
7. Summary - none
After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced.
Why this happend? Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears.. Help!

It always was in a bitmap.

Thin lines in pdf file displayed on mac

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to bring this up. So redirection elsewhere is appreciated!
I've noticed a problem with displaying certain pdf files on a mac. The files are 2D filled plots produced by the free scientific software Yorick (http://yorick.sourceforge.net/). It happens when I view it in Preview or Powerpoint on a mac. But not if I use a pdf viewer on a unix system. The yorick source code for a simple example is below. I can't find a way to attach files to this messages or I'd include the pdf's. Is there a way to do this?
Both png's are fine, and the pdf of the pli plot is fine. pli assumes uniform grid spacing, is fast, and must use different graphics primitives than plf, which does not assume uniform grids (i.e. you can have non-square elements). In this case both x and y grids really are uniform. The problem is with the pdf of the plf plot. Look at it in Preview, you should see some thin lines. Put it in powerpoint and the same. If you put some solid colored box in back of it, you'll see the color. So the lines are transparent or something.
David Munro, the creator of Yorick, suggests it's an issue with anti-aliasing.
Anyway, the problem isn't that severe in this example, but in others (which don't have simple source code) it's more annoying.
Either way, any advice on this, or the right people to report this to, is appreciated.
Cheers,
David

As I suspected, the problem is that the other viewers are not savvy enough to handle the "stitching problem".
What looks like a single image is really a WHOLE LOT of single squares. I took a snapshot of the Edit Object tool in Acrobat with all the objects selected. See <https://photos-3.dropbox.com/i/o/R6asqv64sEP1Tf7eIEBfNbFbMw0F7qKEaFwfnXQVKLo/1644474/12950 96400/0fa9181>.
As you can see from that, each square is a separate image that needs to be rendered and if the viewer doesn't understand how to proper stitch the pieces together then you will get empty pixels (which appears as white lines).
Either contact the author of the program that authored the document and see about getting that fixed (if it's not you) and/or contact the other viewers about improving their products.

Visible lines in PDF files

I have noticed several times now, that I can see knockout lines in the PDF files from the textbox or objectbox which should not be there
As you can see in the below screendump taken from an AI file the objectbox line goes through the placed text and this is visible in the PDF file

They are commonly referred to as Stitching Lines and are a display artifact resulting from Transparency Flattening. The most accurate way to determine is to zoom in, up to 4000%. You should notice that they do not scale as you zoom.
The design incorporates transparency in the Genie mirror image, and this frame overlaps the type on a path. When Exporting, Saving or Writing to PDF using any setting that does not preserve Live Transparency any objects interacting with transparent objects are affected.
Common ways to eliminate the effect include creating seperate, higher layers for Type (and as many layers as neccesary). Objects on unique layers are not affected during the flattening process.
The more current and arguably better practice is utilize PDF settings which Preserve Live Transparency. (Current RIP's have suitable management for Live Transparency). PDF X/1a is not appropriate.
You could fiddle with Acrobats Display preferences to minimize the Stitching, but it is a trade-off to other display options; Smooth Fine Lines, Aliasing, etc.
Stitching Lines, commonly and rightfully, cause concern in display, and may apppear using low resolution output devices but do not print on high end commercial workflows.
Google Stitching Lines - read up especially at InDesignSecrets.com; this is a cross-program commonality; the fixes apply.

Want to erase a line in pdf file?

Inserting filename and page numbers into multiple PDF files?

Have since seen this thread, BUT still interested in the syntax of the code
to insert filename and page # into multiple files:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/951925?tstart=0
Good Evening (GMT!)
I have approx 100 PDFs with one or two pages in each, they are English translations
of Russian language test certificates and the formatting/feel of the originals is lost in
the translations. The only real link between the two sources is the "_RUS" and "_ENG"
filename suffixes and the common leading filenames otherwise. Thus I need to maintain
a record of the filename in any page I print off, should there be a need to refer back to
the original if the translation is open to artistic licence.
I have a script (below) that happily adds a page x/y and filename into the active file,
what I would like is to be able to do this insertion into multiple files as defined by a
portfolio or a selection via a select files dialogue box
I am quite out of my depth now as my past skirmishes with JavaScript have set
cookies and tweaked a few other browser doodads in webauthoring
Any help most appreciated on this one...
Kind Regards

Putting this in a batch file within the automation function of Acrobat
delivers the goods, I need to investigate the formatting of the output to
get them to line up, have taken the middle ground and gone for a central

OCR for numbers in a PDF

Hi guys
I've got a situation where I need to take numbers from a PDF file which is a previsouly scanned-in copy of an invoice. The PDF will be opened alongside a data entry form for the user to complete the form with information from the invoice. However, what I need to do is offer the user suggestions for some of the form fields (such as Net Total, VAT (Tax), Grand Total etc). I know that for specific suggestions for each field I would need some kind of 'zone' OCR, so if I could only pull out all numbers in the scanned image of the invoice from the PDF, I could offer all numbers as a suggestion in a drop-down.
I am using CFMX7, so I'm looking for a way to do this or some kind of component which will allow me to do this.
All the best
Wes

I am not sure it if will meet your needs, but you might look into jPedal. IIRC, it has some text extraction capabilities.

How do I display line numbers in a adobe reader pdf file

Hello,
I have a PDF file containing c++ code opened in adobe reader. How do I display line numbers in the file?
Thanks

You mean, by adding non existing numbers in front of each line, and using only the free Reader? No way.

Make large pdf starting from numbered pdf files

Hello,
I have a weekly job I do In acrobat Pro but would like to do without acrobat.
1.
I have a folder with pdf files numbered from 1 to ...
For example 1.0041job1.pdf / 2.147job2.pdf / ...
The number of pdf files changes every week depending several things.
But always with number in front of filename.
2.
So I need a pdf (best quality or quality unchanged)
with all pdf files in order...
So the numbers of the original pdf files is the order I would like to have.
So I get 1 pdf in order with all pages from the original pdf files.
Acrobat first do it like this 1. 10. 11. 2. 3.
I have to move always 10-19 to behind the 9. If you know what i mean.
-----this would be great.
But If possible I would like to add this rotation
3 If pages are portrait just keep them portrait
but landscape pages should get this
all even landscape pages should rotate 90° clock wise
and all odd landscape pages should rotate 90° counter clock wise
Then this repetitive job would be so easy and fast to do.
property FileTypeList : {"PDF"}
property extension_list : {"pdf"}
on run
display dialog "Don't doubleclick me! Drop a folder on top of me to execute program!" buttons {"OK"}
end run

Hello Colin,
I think you're having some Python script posted by Jacques Rioux in mind :
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12317341#12317341
It uses Python Bindings for Quartz 2D, which means you'd need to know both Python and Quartz 2D to write such script by yourself.
Anyway, here's some documents I know of.
• Using Python with Quartz 2D on Mac OS X
http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/pythonandquartz.html
• Quartz 2D Programming Guide
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/ drawingwithquartz2d/
drawingwithquartz2d.pdf
• Quartz 2D Reference Collection
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/Q uartz2D_Collection/
Quartz2D_Collection.pdf
Good luck,
H
P.S. When I have some free time, I might explore Quartz 2D APIs to write some simple command line tool to manipulate pdf file as you wish.
But I'm too busy to do so in this month.

White Lines Across Powerpoint files converted to PDF

I have a number of PDF files that were created from Microsoft Powerpoint presentations on a Windows PC. The Preview inspector says they were created with Acrobat Distiller 8.2.2. Until recently, these PDFs looked 100% correct when viewed in Preview or Safari. Now, though, they have horizontal white lines across the pages. There are 6 white lines on each page, evenly spaced, each about 1 pixel in height. They stay at 1 pixel in height even when I zoom in/out on the document. At some zoom levels (100% being one of them), the area above and below some lines will become misaligned. When viewed with Adobe Reader 9, the lines are not there but the misalignment is (though it is not exactly the same as in Preview). Unfortunately, I can't say when this started happening other than it was fine in September (2010) and isn't this afternoon (Nov 22, 2010). It happens on a coworker's Macbook Pro as well as my iMac so it is not something unique to my Mac.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas as to how to fix it?

Hi, I am having this problem also on my iMac. Some of the images have the lines and some of them don't. When the PDFs are printed, the lines don't show. My problem is that these PDFs will be linked to on a website for the clients to print, and they will seem them with the lines. They are pretty unsightly, and my boss has put this into my lap to figure out, since I am the designer. Did you ever find an answer for this? I don't know where else to turn, since this company is insisting on using Pages, rather than something like InDesign.

How can I open a PDF file and enter a word in the Find field from the command line?

Hi,
I want to use a PDF file as the help file of another program.
I have found somewhere an incomplete description of the command line parameters of Acrobat Reader.
It described how to open a file and jump to its given page.
I have written the following batch file based on that.
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader at given page (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&page=%2=OpenActions" %1
The following batch file opens the search dialog:
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader
rem and search for something (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=%2" %1
I need the simple find field instead of the complicated search window.

Can I combine two pdf files by using command lines?

Hi
I always need to combine two pdf files into one in my regular work
Currently, I open one of them, press ctrl+shift+I,
find another file and double click it.
It works but not so efficient since I need to do
this procedure many times everyday
So I'm looking for a better solution
Something like command lines,
for example:
acrobat.exe "combine" "doc1.pdf" "doc2.pdf"
Does acrobat have these functions or not?
Thx &
Best Regards

When printing an AutoCAD-exported PDF file, the paper version has lines that screen does not show

Hello,
We were contacted by our customer, a landscape architectural company that uses our product, M-Color, (http://m-color.com) to plot AutoCAD drawings with required preferences and effects.
However, they provided us with a sample PDF files, that contain examples of scanned drawings, that have some "ghost lines" at the drawings that the screen does not show.
We tracked the issue and it appears to be an issue with Adobe Reader pringing. We tried many versions from 8.0 version onwards to the latest versions available in public, all represent the same issue.
This may be an issue of the original drawing having some line that was not marked ending at some point.
The zip file within the link below has three PDF files, two from the company that brought this issue to our awareness and the one with name "scanstation" is printed by me, and then scanned with markings to explain the issue.
Any ideas what would be the best solution to solve this issue?
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FF1904428CF64324!1445&authkey=!AMwkjv9QMg-Gawg

Edit>Preferences>Accessibility... Replace Document Colors (use custom colors - black on white)
That usually fixes ghosting...

How to produce a list of URLs and page numbers from large website pdf file.

Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.4.
I created a pdf file from an entire website which has 1062 pages.
I was asked to produce a list of pages which should be updated or deleted.
There is a URL on every page.
What is the best way to mark the pages for update/deletion?
Is there a way to automatically produce/export a list of a all URLs of these pages including page numbers and "feature" update/delete? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. I refer to the page numbers visible under the pages when you click on in the icon "Page Thumbnails" on the top left side. The page numbers do not appear on the pages themselves.
When saving the entire website bookmarks were created automatically as as well as the URL put on the left botton side of the respective page. They have always the same syntax like this: http://egr.istat.it/?q=node/285[06/062013 17:54:35]
