PDF created with text as image instead of text

Acro Pro 9.3.2 on Win 7 Pro 64-bit using OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, Impress.
When I create a PDF from a presentation document using the referenced, the text is rendered as an image (which I don't want). I've gone through the settings several times and can't find something which is probably painfully obvious. Oddly enough, if I use OpenOffice.org's Export as PDF feature, the PDF comes through exactly as I'd expect it to, with the text generated as text.
Would anyone know what setting(s) I've overlooked so I can change the behavior in Acro Pro? Thanks.

Bill, thank you for putting so much time into this. As you can see from my other responses, the problem may well be limited just to the one doc in question so it's not worth any more of anyone's time. If nothing else, I feel less embarrassed knowing I (apparently) didn't overlook something obvious. I probably shouldn't write that, should I?
In case it's of interest, I tried unchecking the "rely on sys fonts only" option and that didn't change anything.
OO 3.2 is a significantly better product than 2.4 btw. I realize you didn't say anything negative about it. I just wanted to drop that in.
Again, thank you for working on this.

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

SVG in pdf created with FOP

Hello,
is it possible to include SVG`s to a pdf report, which is created with FOP?
I read something like Batik....
Does anybody have any experiences about that?
Thanks,
Tim

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

How can I make the tab image instead of text.

Hi guys,
How can I make a tab displayed as image instead of text?
Best Wishes,

Thanks Jari,
I use Apex 4.0.2 and the theme is Builder Blue 2. When I click edit tab, I get "Tab Label" that is required field and a region called "images". As I got from you, I cannot utilize images in my case.

Helvetica Light Appears As An Image Instead Of Text

Earlier i was using "Helvetica" on my Adobe Muse website that i am designing. I had to change it from "Helvetica" to "Helvetica Light" and the text started to show as an image instead of text. I mean it does not remain text anymore and when i export the site it shows as a png file. Although i can still edit the text of course.
I have seen a question on the forum (HERE) that explains what is happening but there is no explanation how to correct it. I really want to use Helvetica Light instead of normal Helvetica. Can any one tell me how to keep it as a text instead of a png file?
Thanks!

Not all visitors to your website will have Helvetica Light installed on their computer, so the only way for Muse to give that exact look is to turn the text into an image.
If you want the text to stay live text and not become an image, you have to limit yourself to the fonts in the 'web safe' or 'web fonts' categories. If you use a system font, Muse will rasterize the text to give you the exact appearance you desire.

Problems opening PDFs created with Acrobat in TFS

Hi,
I know this might not really be a supported issue, but any thoughts you might have would be appreciated!
I've been creating PDFs using Primo PDF and a trial of Acrobat X. I then put them on TFS / MS Visual Studio 2000.
So, when I try to open a PDF I've checked in, the ones I've created in Primo are fine and launch whereas the ones created in Acrobat won't open and an error message about Inconsistent Line Endings is displayed.
It says:
"The line endings are not consistent. Do you want to normalize them....
Line ending: Windows (CR LF)"
The PDFs DO work when I open them from the normal place in the windows file system. However, when I try to "normalize" them by clicking yes, it breaks them completely.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I'm assuming it must be something to do with the conversion or document settings, because this only happens to PDFs created with Acrobat.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.

Please try these and let us know if you face any problems after this.

JasperReports Integration PDF is created with ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8

Hi,
This is a strange problem i'm struggling with. Since about one month the PDF's are created with the wrong character set. Instead of UTF-8 (this is also given as a parameter calling the procedure as you see below) the PDF are always created with ISO-8859-1.
declare
l_jasper_report_url VARCHAR2(100) DEFAULT 'http://localhost:8180/JasperReportsIntegration/report';

-- commit;
-- apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
xlog ('PUT_BLB', SQLERRM, 'ERROR');
RAISE;
END;
It looks like the procedure UTL_HTTP.get_header ignores the encoding parameter and overwrites it with ISO-8859-1. I also tried to set it with UTL_HTTP.set_header before calling UTL_HTTP.get_header buth that didn't help either.
Then I started the JVM is started with the UTF-8 option and that made no change.
There were no new installation on Oracle, tomcat or JasperReports side. So I'm wondering what has caused this string behaviour.
Does anyone had this problem before or has a solution for it?
I appreciate your help very much.
Thanks and regards,
Chris

Hi,
As my understanding, you could choose the encoding ways by yourself:
Change your Internet Explorer 9 language
encoding settings

Cannot copy and paste from PDF Created with Distiller 9.0

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I would be havingissues with copying/pasting from a PDF created w/ Distiller 9, as opposed to Distiller 8.x? I don't use Distiller myself, it just looks like this was what the creator of the document used. Is this a possible copyright protection that's been built in?

I can select text, but oddly enough it seems to automaitcally select random text - I can't select line to line. It randomly selects parts of all paragraphs at once. I'm very certain it's not an image.
I also checked to see if there were any security features that might be preventing copy/paste, and found none. I even compared it to an older edition of the document (which we can select text from perfectly), and none of the security features were any different. I would send this PDF to you, but I am in a heavily regulated work environment that doesn't allow for outgoing attachments or uploading.
If you have any other ideas, please let me know. If not, I really do appreciate your help.
Thanks.

PDF created with LiveCycle will not display

All the other PDF links in the email work. However, the document created with LiveCycle give me this error in Firefox. I have made all the updates according to Firefox for Adobe Reader and Java. Still receiving this. Any suggestions??? I can see it in Explorer but not firefox or Chrome. Not everyone that will get this particular document will use Explorer. Unfortunately, I need a fast answer.

Well, since I fixed it in Chrome, it works for me. However, my partner beside me doesn't have Chrome and he gets the same generic screenshot that I had earlier, even though we made the changes in his Firefox. We're baffled...... The interactive form is the only form we can't pull.

When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...
- Valerie

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

Cannot opening PDF created with Adobe Acrobat 5 on Samsung Android device

Hi I have an number of links to PDFs on my WordPress.com blog home page (www.creationtonewcreation.com). These were created in Adobe Acrobat 5, with security applied that allows viewing and printing. They open fine on my laptop (e.g. with Google Chrome), but when trying to open on my Android mobile (Samsung Note 3 - a standard design) with Acrobat Reader installed, an error message appears 'The document cannot be opened because it is not a valid PDF document'. It is a valid PDF as it was created with Adobe 5 itself. Do you know what the problem might be? I have uploaded another PDF (not sure what this was created with) on my other WordPress.com site, and it downloads fine, so WordPress.com is not the problem per se. Many thanks for any advice anyone can give. Rob

Hi Robert,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will try my best to get this issue resolved.
I will recommend you to upgrade your Adobe reader to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on your Samsung Note 3 mobile phone and then try to view the pdf files. You can download it for free from the Google app. store or you can refer to this link Acrobat Reader DC Learn & Support.
Let me know if you still experience the same issue.

Aadesh

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy
