Output file properties to PDF?

Anyone know how to output file properties to PDF?  I'm hoping to print image dimensions alongside images in contact sheets.  Thanks.

Review the following note, it may be helpful.

  • Urgent: How to break pdf output file in multiple pdf files without bursting

    Hi all,
    I am developing a rtf template which will take a xml file which contains data for many employees. Now the requirement is to create a individual pdf file for each user. I know that it can be done through Oracle bi publisher's interface through bursting but we don't have that option. We have to do it at template level.
    Right now my template produces report for multiple employees on a new page.
    <?for-each-group@section:row;./USERS_SYS_ID?><?split-by-page-break:?>
    <?end for-each-group?>
    Is there any method like <?split-by-file-break:?> by which each employee report can be started in a new output file.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Thanks, George!
    I will try your suggestion.
    While waiting for a response, I ran into another problem:
    Some of the PDF documents I am to work from are "protected," meaning I can read them but not extract any pages or click to add them to a list of files to import...but I need to extract some or all pages from it.  Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks!

  • Output.Print printing all PDFs double-sided

    Hello
    According to the following article it is possible to configure a PDF to print single or double sided in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/index.htm?content=000089.html#15813 85
    I follow these exact steps and configure the PDF Template "Printing" setting at the (Master Pages) hierarchy to "Print on Front Side Only" and then print the PDF by using the LiveCycle Output ES service. The PDF continuously prints double-sided regardless of the value I set. Interestingly enough the printer properties are configured to print single sided on the OS and if I print the PDF using Adobe Reader it prints single-sided. This leads me to believe that the Output service is specifically telling the printer "print me double-sided".
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm running Adobe LiveCycle ES version 8.0.1

    Thank you for the reference. It was included in the LiveCycle install I just had to move over a copy to the JBoss directory that the article specified. It is an easier way of testing I found that if I set the output file type to PDF the document prints double-sided but if I change the output file type to PCL or PostScript it prints single-sided. Unfortunately we currently generate all our documents as a PDF output and it seems like we would have to make a subsequent call to the Output service for every document we generate just to have a PostScript output. I'm sure it goes without saying this is not very efficient.
    Thanks again for the reference it did help solidify my findings that the issue does lie with the Output service and how it handles the PDF file type. I have a ticket open with Adobe Support if they get back to me with a helpful response I will post it to this thread. I can't possibly be the only one experiencing this issue.

  • How do I output a large Ai file as multiple PDFs (via views, pages, whatever)

    I am working in FreeHand 10 and Illustrator CS3 on a large street map. The client wants to do his own edits to the map in Illustrator (version unknown) then output it so he can show a section per page, in an atlas he plans to publish. And maintain the map himself in the future. The base map is 30 inches square, and the section excerpted on each page of his atlas will be 7 x 9 inches.
    The client currently outputs (text-only) directories in MS Word, and I'm wondering if I need to tell him "Hey, you need to buy and learn InDesign (as well as Illustrator) to output your atlas" or whether there's an easy way to output a large map in multiple PDFs, a page at a time that he could use as images in Word. I am trying to keep it sensible for everyone plus affordable.
    What I know about Word is you can make a picture box, and crop images placed in the picture box, but I could only get it to crop an inch or two at most. Not the comparative "limitless" picture box found in Quark (and I assume InDesign).
    (In FreeHand I had a similar atlas project where I created the master map on page 1, then made a couple dozen small pages, each with a rectangle (a frame) on a top layer. I gave each frame a "lens fill" set to a magnification of 1X, and put the centerpoint over the desired part of the master map. The section of the map appeared in the frame. This worked great for the first five or ten pages -- I could make multi-page PDFs -- a sort of PDF atlas. Eventually all the processing of lines, type, and fills bogged down my Mac's (or FreeHand's) memory so the PDF export would abort mid-stream -- I ended up outputting only individual map pages or 10-12 pages per PDF).
    IS THERE A WAY to do a similar, multi-page output, or a series of little PDFs, in CS3? (Or in CS4, which is in the mail)? I know the "professional" way is to place the full EPS or PDF of the map in a page layout program and crop the picture box to the desired area. That's making more and more sense.
    I get the sense from what I don't find in the CS3 User Manual that the only way to output a drawing is a page at a time (and naturally only one page per file). I would feel a little nervous in CS4 making an array of multiple pages butted against each other and laying the map on top of them all (but maybe that would work). CS4 has "views" but I don't know if they correspond to output files.
    There are enough pages in the finished atlas that it's not economical to make the master map into a big PDF, save multiple copies, then crop each PDF on a different section of the map (such as using Apple Preview). Enough hand-work that labor would equal the cost of the software we're tentatively too frugal to buy. (A clue as to how to proceed).
    The client is on a PC (not necessarily a powerful one); has a friend with Illustrator. Is open to upgrading his equipment. I'm on a Mac G4, running Illustrator CS3 and soon CS4.
    At a certain point it may be the least troublesome approach is to lay the learning curve and burden of [computer and] software acquisiiton on the client and let each piece of software do what it does best. Or say, "sorry, editable files aren't practical, but here's a good set of prints for you to mark up, and I'll do the edits and make you a set of PDFs" which is more how I usually work.
    I acknowledge this was a rather long, multi-stranded question; thanks to anyone who waded through it, and I apprciate any wisdom anyone can offer. Thanks!

    ...continued
    If this is a valued and expectedly ongoing relationship, regardless of whether the files working files are going to be in FH or AI, I would make sure that both your and his working files are both on the same application (and I would say even the same platform).
    > The client currently outputs (text-only) directories in MS Word, and I'm wondering if I need to tell him "Hey, you need to buy and learn InDesign (as well as Illustrator) to output your atlas".
    I would politely and briefly commend the client for considering doing his own routine edit maintenance, but caution him that such edits need to be done in the native map files, not in the "container" file of whatever program he imports the artwork into. Doing so will likely involve a not-impractical, but still-significant learning curve for him or his staff--editing the maps requires at least working familiarity with a vector drawing program--and offer your services to help him along the way as he learns. If the client is going to commit to doing his own edits, he needs to commit up-front to doing them
    correctly in the native illustration files' format. Otherwise, he will be asking for trouble down the road that will eventually cost him more than the benefits of bringing the edits in-house.
    >...or whether there's an easy way to output a large map in multiple PDFs, a page at a time that he could use as images in Word.
    PDF exported from FH will not provide the client the editability you have suggested he needs. PDF exported from Illustrator (with AI editability included) will have the same file-size problem you've already encountered: Content of the map beyond the page is merely masked, not actually removed.
    > I am trying to keep it sensible for everyone plus affordable.
    I commend
    you for that stance. Freelance illustrators often shoot themselves in the foot by being overly protective of
    practial illustration / design work that a client rightly
    needs to be able to edit. Helping the client achieve self-sufficency can be just as profitable (or more so) than requiring the client to come back to you for every little edit.
    > What I know about Word...
    Include in your explanation with your client: Common office- or personal-productivity software, by their nature, lack technical capability necessary and proper for commercial reproduction. It's not that they are "bad" or "amateurish" programs; they're just not designed for the purpose.
    Leave open the option of re-importing the map illustrations into Word, if the client still wants to. But re-emphasize that any routine
    editing of the working map files needs to be done in their native illustration program.
    > (In FreeHand I had a similar atlas project where I [used Lens objects]. This worked great for the first five or ten pages...[but eventually]...bogged down....
    Illustrator provides nothing like FreeHand's excellent Lens Fill feature. You can use Clipping Masks and Symobls as a cumbersome workaround, but you'll have the same file-size issues, because you are merely masking artwork, not actually removing it.
    I must admit I can't remember if FH's Lens objects actually trim to their content after being Ungrouped, (and don't presently have FH on this laptop to check), but I don't think so. If they did, then Lens objects would be an alternative to the other cutting method described below.
    > IS THERE A WAY to do a similar, multi-page output, or a series of little PDFs, in CS3? (Or in CS4, which is in the mail)?
    I strongly suspect that artwork that
    spans adjacent pages in AI CS4 will be treated the same as artworking which
    extends beyond the artboard in current AI: it will be merely masked with a clipping path when exported to PDF, not trimmed. The same sloppy and data-heavy content problems will persist.
    > I get the sense from what I don't find in the CS3 User Manual that the only way to output a drawing is a page at a time (and naturally only one page per file).
    No. In CS3 you could:
    1. Open the 30 x 30 map in AI on a 30 x 30 Artboard.
    2. In the Print dialog, set up 7 x 9 page tiling, and in the Output pane, select Tile Full Pages.
    3. Export a multi-page PDF.
    But again, the content of the PDF pages would merely mask the artwork that extends beyond each page tile. Your PDF file(s) will still likely be much larger than necessary.
    Understand, that may still be a workable option if the client places in his page layouts some
    other format that actually crops the artwork. In other words, you could:
    1. Get the FH native artwork into AI and perform all the cleanup necessary for the AI file to become from now on your permanent working file.
    2. Use a single Artboard, and use PageTiling as described above to export the multi-page PDF.
    3. Use Acrobat Professional to export the PDF pages to raster images.
    4. Place the raster images in whatever program is to be used for the whole document page layouts.
    > The client is on a PC (not necessarily a powerful one); has a friend with Illustrator. Is open to upgrading his equipment. I'm on a Mac G4, running Illustrator CS3 and soon CS4.
    The above workflow should work fine. To be self-sufficient, it would require as a minimum:
    * The client contracting with you to build a proper and clean AI version of the FH map. Depending on the actual content, that may be a straightforward file translation, or it may require alot of tedious and time-consuming cleanup after importing the FH artwork.
    * The client (and/or friend) would need Illustrator and Acrobat Pro, plus whatever program he choses for the page assembly work. If he/they use AI CS4, that
    may suffice for the page-assembly portion of the work, too. That's yet to be seen. One limitation that comes immediately to mind is that AICS4's long overdue multiple page capability is (unlike FH's) limited to 100 pages.
    > Or say, "sorry, editable files aren't practical, but here's a good set of prints for you to mark up, and I'll do the edits and make you a set of PDFs" which is more how I usually work.
    That is, of course, for you to work out with the client. It sounds like your head is screwed on straight. You are looking for the most practical and expedient solution to server your customer, not being denfensive and desirous of requiring the client to come to you for every little edit.
    The decisions is going to boil down to how much actual illustration editing know-how he wants to take on. It can be a great hands-on training opportunity for you as his "on call" trainer. That arrangement would provide your client the practical autonomy he wants, with the comfort and confidence that things won't get out of whack with you as his outsource guru.
    Or, the client may find that the editing tasks require more hands-on skill than he wants to take on. Consider doing a walk-through exercise to show him (and/or his staff) the skills involved in the kinds of edits they will need to make routinely.
    Regardless, though, I would firmly insist that the editing needs to be always done "according to Hoyle" in the native illustration program--and
    never (stress this) by means of cheezy workaounds in the page-layout program, or some intermediate program. That is
    not in your client's best interest, even if it seems initially the "easy way out." It will quickly lead to the map artwork becomming an unmanageable mess.

  • File explorer (windows 8) doesn't show the properties of pdf files such a keywords or tittle. Neither when click on second button. I just see them when the file is opened with adobe reader (file prperties)

    I attach some picture to show the problem.
    Im sorry because the os is in spanish, so i translate for you the fileds names shown
    etiquetas means tags or keywords or labels, as you can see in the first picture at the second row, some file (office pack) show the tags but the selected one doesn't (pdf).
    propiedades means properties. The properties shown are different if I opened from file explorer to acrobat.
    I think there is a compatibility problem with the xmp file (metadata) from pdf file ans windows 8.1 (64bits). I tried to solve it by installing a missing file called ifilter, but the problem continues

    I believe this is all normal.

  • XML data output file in a directory needs to be published as a pdf report

    Hi,
    I have already got an XML output file in a directory.
    I want to display it using RTF template using a concurrent program or some sort of java api in a pdf format to be able to print it.
    How do I do it? Do I have to write another file output command to read the xml data line by line and output to BI publisher first?

    Hi,
    Hmm, one way is to just utl_file read the file and fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output) then close the file. Setup conc prog, rtf template, data definition and you're done.
    But the main thing is that you get the XML file to $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/oXXXXX.out where XXXXX is the request id. You could just setup host concurrent program and copy the file there!

  • I am not able to modify the text in pdf output file using pdf editor

    Hi,
    We have upgrade the xml 5.6.1 in server level. After upgrading this, we are not able to modify the pdf output file. Previously we used to modify text and delete text in pdf file which is generated by oracle Application. As of now we cann't upgrade higher version. Can you suggest what to do?.

    Check the xdo configuration file option in the user guides. There should be options that allow / disallow modifying text specifically. If you are in EBS, you should be able to change the configuration file options from the XML Publisher Administrator UI.

  • Excel file trucation in PDF output file

    Having problem with PDF output file as the imported EXCEL table gets truncated - approx. the left 1/2 upper left corner is the only part of the table that appears in the PDF file.  Master file displays correctly in PM. No apparent memory issue so any thoughts? Thanks.

    A bit more info please.
    Windows or Mac, and which versions?
    Which version of PM?
    How did you import the speadsheet into PM?
    How did you create the PDF?
    Cropping and displacement of meta-files when creating PDFs from PM is well known and there are work-arounds.
    The long term answer is move on to InDesign.

  • Will saving an eps file as a pdf change color output?  Digital printing.

    Hello, I recently sent in a reprint order of a client's package label file, and the color output is quite different.   The first times I ordered these labels, I sent in an eps file.  At the printer's request, I submitted the file as a pdf this time.  I can't see any differences bewteen the eps and pdf  files.   They're both RGB, the color values are sttill the same in the file.   Should the file type change result in such a different output?  Thanks for any advice...

    Switching from a RGB color mode to CMYK gives the same colors on Screen? Since the CMYK is a subset of the colors available in RGB this is not usually the case.

  • Name of PDF output file?

    Within Adobe Output Desinger I have set PDF as my presentment target. How do I define what the name of the PDF output file will be and where it is saved?

    The "-zdirpath,u[.ext]" parameter on the ^job statement or on the definition for the jfmerge task to create the PDF is what you are looking for. The ",u" option tells the system to create a random name to avoid overwriting duplicates but if you have a specific name in mind, this could look like "-zc:\folder\filename.ext". Also, include the "-aspPDF" parameter to tell jfmerge that the PDF presentment target is to be used.

  • Output many .eps files to single PDF as full size vector art?

    Hi Smart Folks,
    I'm working in CS4, Mac OS 10.5. I have a large number of .eps files (about 300, created in Ai) which I'd like to output to a single PDF in their full-size vector format (not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for). Is there a quicker way to do this than manually placing them all in an InDesign doc and PDFing from there?
    Thanks,

    (not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for)
    That seems indeed the problem, check also both threads earlier in Bridge and Illustrator but I'm afraid not with THE solution. Also drop a feature request for this at Adobe, the more people that would like to see it the greater chance it will be realized.
