PDF: Convert all text to 100%K / Black

I am trying to take a pdf manual with images and text, and convert all of the text to 100%K. Currently there is text set to tints of black, and color values. I've been looking through all of the custom preflight fixups and can't find a way to accomplish this. Any ideas?

when I try to download a pdf file all I get is a black screen

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

When saving a PDF not all text is displayed

We have a user here whom uses Adobe Acrobat X Pro. When she opens the PDF in question, all text is displayed fine, however, if she makes a small change and re-saves the document then a lot of the text is not displayed - This will also happen if she attempts to insert pages from the Source PDF into the destination PDF.
I have tried to repair the adobe install via the Help menu and have also given the application a full reinstall with no luck.
Here is how the text is displayed when just opening the PDF;
Here is where things go wrong, when she tries to Re-save this PDF the text is displayed as follows (again, the text will go like this if she tries to insert pages);
Any insight/assistance appreciated
Thanks!

Hi miraxes,
Please email me ([email protected]) the pdf file so that I can check at my end.

Interactive PDF, Printing all text from within multi line scrolling field

I have an A4 form created in Indesign CS4 and made interactive in acrobat 9 pro on Mac with several fields and have a question.
I have a requirement for a number of the form fields to scroll in order to capture lengthy content if need be, my client also wants the ability to print the content in full from the fields if they so wish. However if the content is lengthy say filling more than the field area shows on screen how would this be printable?
So :
A form is set up to show 3 lines of text and employs a scrollable field solution to accommodate infinite text entry
The user writes 6 lines of text (only 3 show on screen though due to the forced form field area)
They want to print a record for hard copy or distribution showing all 6 lines
I have just purchased the CS6 version with Acrobat X, but would like to solve this in with my previous version if possible, have only just installed CS6 and due to learning curve need to retain it in Acrobat 9 pro if possible.
Thanks

Sure, you could do that fairly easily with just a bit JavaScript. It would have to be done by someone with Acrobat who receives the filled-in form. The text from the fields could be extracted and placed in a text file attachment that you create with JavaScript, and then extract the file attachment.
For the general methods you'd use, see:
createDataObject: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
exportDataObject: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
Another less flexible approach is to extract to a tab delimited text file: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.460.html
For this, you can specify just the fields you want to include, so you don't have to bother with all of the fields in the form being included.

Supplied PDF has text as 4 colour black

I've got a PDF supplied with body text as 4 colour black.
Anyway to convert the 4 colour black to just 100% black?

Unfortunately, that will convert all text to black, won't it?@
That's correct.
but you can set in the acrobat minimum and maximum size of the text to be changed (I hope your color text blue and red are different sizes from the body text) .
for example, if the body text has 10 pt you can set min 10pt and max 10pt.
if for example titles are blue but have 15 pt they will stay blue after conversion.
in the example screen shoot the titles blue and red have 15 pt and they remained in blue and red after conversion (I set maximum 14 pt and without minimum).

Photoshop Save As PDF Settings Text loses 100% Black or Color Density is too High

I am taking a CMYK Photoshop file and saving it as a PDF for a magazine.
By request, the company has asked that the color density does not exceed 260%. In the output setings of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, under color, I have:
Color Conversion: Convert to Destination
Destination: U.S. Web Uncoated v2 (told to me by the magazine to use)
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
When I create the PDF, SUCCESS!!! it works where the color density is under 260%.
I verified in Acrobat Pro X by going to View / Tools / Print Production / Output Preview with the following settings:
Simulation Profile: U.S. Web Uncoated v2
Sample Size: 3x3
Total Area Coverage checked and set to 260%
HOWEVER, when I do this, the text goes from CMYK 0 0 0 100 to using all four colors. I have been recommended by the company to keep pure back on the text due to possible registration errors.
If I export out to PDF using the "PDF/X-1a" (inside photoshop pdf export), then I can get the text to keep 0 0 0 100 but the color density goes way over 260%.
Has anyone had this problem? I cannot get the color density to stay under 260% AND keep the text to 100% black.
Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you Mylenium for your reply. What you have said makes sense but I am not sure how to implement it. I did a google search on Photoshop Multichannel mode and I did really find anything helpful or relevant.
I tried playing with the multichannel just the same. I made a copy of my photoshop document first (just in case I screwed up my file) and I converted it to multichannel mode from the current CMYK. (Image / Mode / Multichannel) Under "Channels" I looked at each layer (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) individually and the text and other black areas in question were only on the black channel as it should be. Now that I am in multichannel mode, I cannot "Save As" a Photoshop PDF file so I had to do a Print to PDF option. I used the same export setting (or as close that I could tell) that I was using before and I still ended up with the same problem. My color density is under 260% but my black text is using 4 channels.
I also noticed that when I converted to Multichannel mode, the color of the image did change / shift a bit which also has me a bit worried.
Can you describe how I am to implement Multichannel mode to get my desired output? Also, can you elaborate on "custom channel for text blacks"?
I appreciate the help, thank you!

Converting all Black to 100% black only

Is there a way when rasterizing a document in photoshop that you can choose all blacks and make them 100% black only, not process black?

A.L. your not crazy, don't give up. The problem normally doesn't happen if you in swop, but always happens when you go into a gcr4 color space like used at some newspapers. Also, if the image has been saved as an eps, and the default button is clicked "Postscript color management" it will cause "Under-printing". The problem with going with a maximum black is that while this works great sometimes, especially if your just targeting black plus one other color. For instance, we use separation type GCR/maximum black generation when dealing with two color ads that Under-print (4-c black), to fix them not to under-print. It does not work well with photos. The Black gets very heavy and fills in. There are a few ways however to fix the under printing problem once it happens.
The first works when you have a white background.
1) select black image at the composite level, and copy.
2) then flick through the channels and hit dealt.
3) when you get to the black channel hit paste.
If there is color in the background, you can do this. Setting up and action key makes small work of this.
1) select the area that needs to be fixed.
then go to select color and choose black at the bottom of the list
2) change the amount to 100 percent and say okay.
3) do this a total of 4 times. this will make the amount of black on your page 100 percent.
4) then on the 5th time instead of adding 100 percent black, remove 100 percent of the CMY. This removes all the color at once.
the last and a very effective way to remove under-printing. (but again do not have photos selected when doing this) is to
1) select the area to be fixed
2) go to select color click on the text or what ever black you are fixing, and slide fuzz to get most all of it.
3) then go to selection modify and choose expand by 1 pixel
4) Copy at the composite level.
5) then flick through the channels and hit delete.
6) when you get to the black channel hit paste.
I have found this last way a very good way to get small under-printing black fixed so printers can register their image.
Also if someone is dealing with large amounts of pdfs that have photos to be fixed and nothing else. then use a program like "Iqeue" that won't cause the vector images/type to under-print, since it only targets the rasterised images.

I am trying to convert an Illustrator cs6 file to a PDF and every time I do it, I lose all text and images. Can someone provide some assistance? Thank you!

I am trying to convert an Illustrator cs6 file to a PDF and every time I do it, I lose all text and images. Can someone provide some assistance? Thank you!

It's always a good idea to supply platform and AI version info.
How are you "converting" the file? Are you choosing "Save As" and selecting PDF from the file format options? This will bring up additional save options. I would suggest "Illustrator Default" setting unless you have specific needs.

Conversion from .pdf to .docx: I have converted a text in Slovenian in .pdf, but all the accents are missing in the converted .docx. version

Does Adobe have a converter for texts with European-language accents, or shall I cancel my subscription?

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
Please guide me further.
Thanks

I am converting a .docx file to a pdf and the text is coming out blurry

I am trying to convert a .docx file to a pdf and the text keeps coming out blurry. Some sentences seem to be bolded in the pdf as well. All the colored text seems like there's a shadow behind it and all the text in bold seems extra blurry. I am saving the file as a pdf. I tried to print the file as a pdf but it kept crashing. I have adobe acrobat pro and distiller, but I'm not savy about which program does what.
Thanks for any help!

If you are trying to convert a Word file, ensure the text is in 100% black only.
To create PDF's there are hundreds of different combinations that can be used, but only a few will give you a good 'print ready' file, which is what I think you may be after.
You may have font issues that are stopping the text looking sharp.
If you have Distiller, you can try to print as .ps (save as postscript), load distiller up and choose one of the high quality settings in the pop down menu.
If you are working on a Mac you can drag and drop the .ps file direcetly on the dock icon for distiller, or if you are running Windows you will need to navigate to the file via the menu bar (you will need to know where you have saved your .ps file).
There may be other issues with the original file format that is causing problems with your PDF creation.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.
