Pdf cannot be exported

i keep getting this error when in safari when it does not appear that the pdf is protected in any way. it happens when i run a save as.
for instance this page
http://workgroups.clemson.edu/AAH0503_ANIMATED_ARCH/linked%20docs/Bio-logic%20of %20Architecture.pdf
results in this
"The document “Bio-logic of Architecture.pdf” could not be exported as “Bio-logic of Architecture.pdf”."
but it seems to be happening for a lot of other pages.
thanks for any guidance on this.

instead of pulling file down to save, click the floppy icon in the pdf toolbar at bottom.
lame, yes, but at least it works.

Numbers | Export to PDF | Cannot Print Exported PDF

I am having a heck of a time with being able to print PDFs exported out of Numbers. I have tried both the File>Export command and I have printed to PDF and printed to Adobe PDF. Once I open the exported / printed PDF files in Acrobat Reader and try to print them, Reader freezes after 30 seconds of ramping up its memory usage in excess of 300MB. The PDFs are less than a MB in size. I have been able to successfully print the exported / printed PDF files using Preview on a Mac, but the reason I need to be able to convert my spreadsheets to PDF is so that a colleague in another state can print them from a PC. Anyone run into this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Is there a way to automate it such that it doesn't repeat the last row or do I just need to manually delete the formula out of all of the cells in the rows after the last?
There sure is. I was in a rush and made a mistake in my formula. I've posted solutions to this problem at least a half a dozen times here in the past and for some reason I didn't recall the bit that you are having trouble with. It came to me overnight that I had led you astray.
Here's a solution for the expression in the reduced table that I've used before and I'm pretty sure you will have success with:
=IF(ROW()<(MAX(Data :: E)+1), INDEX(Data, MATCH(ROW(), Data :: $E), COLUMN()), "")
Here's how it works...
The auxiliary column in the table Data reports the count of important rows. The reduced table searches for the count number in the Data table matching the row number in the reduced table. The Index function then transfers the data for the matching row. The problem in my posted solution was with the condition that limits the copying of rows to the reduced table.
Rather than checking the total number of rows in the data table, with an offset, I should have just checked to see how many "'important" rows there are by looking at the max count. The "+1" offset in the test is to account for the Header Row.

A pdf form I have designed cannot be exported due to an "unexpected error". What can I do?

When I try to save a particular pdf form I have designed I get a message that it cannot be exported due to an unexpected error. I have not had this problem with other forms I have created. What can I do?

Yes, Forms Central. I made the form by using a blank form page, copying and pasting another form I had done previously to the blank page and then modifying it.
The original form I had copied from as the basis for the new form saved as a pdf form perfectly: the copied and then modified version kept displaying the error message.
In the end I have managed to work around this problem by opening another template form (the Assessment one) and spending forever copying the items from the form i couldn't export over to the " template form one at a time (after deleting the template items, naturally).
I will be making other forms that will have versions with minor variations and it would be much easier if I could copy and paste a whole form at a time rather than cell by cell but is that going to make the copied forms impossible to export from FormsCentral as it did with this one?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
Hi,
I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
Here is what I have done:
As taken from another post:
Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
     The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
Thanks

I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

Installed Acrobat Pro 9 - requires password to open any PDF & botches InDesign exports to PDF

Installed CS4 on my new Mac, using the downloaded installation file. Everything works except Acrobat. I uninstalled Acrobat & reinstalled it. Same problems remain:
1a. Everytime I open a PDF, I get this message: "Adobe Acrobat Pro wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I have to enter the username & password for my computer to open every PDF. Then they open correctly.
1b. If I open Acrobat from the Applications folder, without opening a file, I get the same message & must enter username & password to open Acrobat.
2. From InDesign, I export PDFs using File > Export. The PDFs have little rectangles for about half the text in the entire document. I routinely export both hi-res (Print Quality) and lo-res (Smallest File Size) PDFs in InDesign & this happens with all of them.
Most of the work I do results in PDFs. None of them have password protection or other security. I don't see anything in Preferences that looks like it would relate to these issues. Help, please!

Go the the Applications -> Utilities folder. In there you will find the Disk Utility app. When you run that application, you can select your hard drive. Then click on the Fix Permssions button.

InDesign CS5 PDF - Failure to Export Vector Elements

Recently, we have had two separate incidents where the creation of an InDesign CS5 PDF failed to export certain vector art elements. The elements are not shared between jobs and the files were physically created in different locations (entirely different servers) within our organization. The elements are pdf and eps and appropriately linked. On the PDF, we're not even getting a low-res version of the artwork. When looking at the PDF in NEO, the containing box of the graphic is not present. One the most frustrating aspects of this is we haven't been able to repeat error in order to fix the error. The next time (or 50 times) the document is exported, the vector art is fine.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

@rickphot
I've had this same problem just today. I have a 64 page INDD that when exported to PDF (print) from CS5 (with no elements on my page set to "non printing elements"), only some of my vector shapes get exported. They are all merely 0.25pt Black Lines used to direct a reader from a comment to a matching illustration, and some pages exported them just fine, and some other pages will not work. I've tried moving them to a new layer, cutting and pasting in place, copying and pasting in place, changing the transparency modes, etc...nothing works...EXCEPT to just redraw the lines.
@Bob Levine
Do you work for Adobe? Can you offer any advice to this problem yet?
Thanks all. Glad I'm not the ONLY one going crazy with a bizzare problem like this one.

Unable to open pdf that was exported as a pdf in another program - Pro was downloaded today

I have tried opening a pdf that was exported in ArcGIS as a pdf and I get the following error, "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (110)". I saw in another post that this error deals with font. When I go to the document propterties and the fonts tab, 0% of font information was gathered. Pdf's that were already exported will open fine. I even re-exported a document that was already exported (and worked fine), but I get the same error. The only thing different is, I am on a new computer where pro was just downloaded.
Does anyone have advice to this problem? Thanks.

Active X controls go back to IE1. The error you're seeing is "Control name not valid" that means an ActiveX control is not working properly with IE... regardless of version.
Turning off filtering usually solves this. Repairing IE might do it too.

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Hi sylvias99766822,
You can if you have Acrobat. If you don't, feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Keep in mind, though, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a word processor. So, while you can make adjustments to text and graphics, if you need to do a major overhaul of the text in the document, it's best to go back to the source document and edit the content there.
Best,
Sara

Cannot perform export operation

I am trying to export a table (Oracle 8.1.6, iAS 1.0.2) , but I get the following error:
Could not find the preference storage for temporary directory. Cannot perform export operation. Contact the administrator. (WWV-17101)
When I try to export an application and I 'Click here to download the export script file (2618 bytes). ', the browser shows a url of http://schmidm-zx/pls/portal30/docs/313.sql, however, this file doesn't exist anywhere on the machine.
What is going on?

Martin,
Export/Import of Tables is different from other exports(application/component/database objects)
All the other exports generate a sql script however export of table generates a dump file.
For import of components you need to run sql script from sql plus, however for import of table you need to run Oracle Imp utility.
For export of table alone, you need to specify the temporary directory with sufficient privileges in global settings.
For ex in unix machines it can be /var/tmp and for NT machines it can be c:\temp directories.

How to define PDF layout when exporting?

With Discoverer 10g 10.1.2.45.46c, is it possible to define the PDF layout (landscape vs. portrait) and also can I shrink the report to fit x pages?
If not, are these future features?

In Viewer, the export to PDF and print to PDF generate identical output. If you want to change the size or the layout of the PDF output, go to the Page Setup screen in Viewer and set the page options appropriately. Then, when you click to send the worksheet by email and select PDF as the export format, the generated PDF will pick up the layout properties from the page setup options.
More information:
In the print dialog in both components you can do the following and more:
- Specify the paper size (A4, Letter, etc...)
- Specify a shrink value (i.e. shrink to 40, 50, 60%, etc..)
- Specify that the print output should fit in 3x4, or 2x4 pages, etc...
All this is documented in detail in the Discoverer doc.
For Discoverer Plus, take a look at Ch 18 of the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), B13915-04
For Discoverer Viewer take a look at the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Viewer User's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), B13987-04.
Ch 4 - Dialog reference - has a section titled: "Printable Page Options page: Content tab" which should give you some idea of the print capabilities available there.
