PDF driver

Oracle Reports 10g R1.
Is there something special about the oracle pdf driver?
For some reason, any report generated in pdf format from oracle reports is not able to be indexed by Oracle Text. All other pdfs are indexed just fine.
Anybody else notice this problem?

Go to START>Settings>Printers and select the properties on the Adobe PDF printer. Check the Ports tab and be sure that you are set for the Adobe PDF port, not the Print-to-File port as shown below:

File created with Oracle PDF driver 1.1 does not open

When opening a PDF file in particular, the following error is generated:
"Failed to open document. The file is damaged and can not be repaired."
The file can be viewed with other viewers correctly.
When you open it with a text editor, the first line contains the following information:

Is there a patch for Acrobat to open these files?
Thanks.

Tiling options unavailble for Adobe PDF driver in Acrobat X

I am having an issue printing tiled pages using the Adobe PDF driver from Acrobat X.
Every other driver I have installed has the options to Tile Large Pages and Tile All Pages from Acrobat documents. As soon as I switch to the Adobe PDF driver, the options disappear.
We have tried removing and reinstalling the driver, as I read that this solved the issue for another user here. No luck.
Any thoughts on what could be going on here? I have been using this functionality for several months, and as far as I know nothing has changed with either Acrobat or the Adobe PDF driver since I last used it.
I'm running Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.

Yes, that's where I'm looking.
The options are there for all drivers but Adobe PDF. And they were there for that driver the last time I used it.

Acrobat PDF driver and Blending Operation

Hi,
I couldn't find Blending Operation in the Acrobat 8 PDF driver we are using in our organisation.
Is there a way to make use of Blending Operation in the Acrobat 8 PDF driver like i.e. used in the Acroplot Pro PDF driver?
Regards,
Bas Hendriks

Don't know since I do not know what blending is. There is an outside chance I might be able to help if I new what Blending was. It may also be that there is another way to do what you are asking.

Printing to PDF Driver. First 9000 pages fine, next 2000 are blank.

Windows 7.1 and Adobe PDF driver 10.1.9
Printing large (11,000+) page spooled files. This USED to work on Windows 7.1 and now does not.
Once the file gets to 9980 pages, the rest of the pages are blank. I am printing plain text, no images.
I do not see any processing options like RAW or EMF to try...
Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Nick
In all of the troubleshooting you've done I don't see that you have deleted the AppleWorks preferences. Printing issues is one of many things this can help. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more. Be sure you delete the .plist and preference files at the same time.
If this doesn't help, or you're still not able to print the whole document, try saving the file as an AppleWorks 5 file with a different name & then open this AppleWorks 5 file in AppleWorks 6. You do not need o have AppleWorks 5 to do this. This can strip some imbedded information, particularly related to printing, from the file.
On this same line, open a new AppleWorks document of the same type & drag the icon of the problem file onto the open window of the new one.
Last, a lot more time consuming, but should get the job done, is to print to PDF in small sections. In the Print dialog, make sure you set the print range to the actually page numbers if you have a header or footer holding the page number. You can then use a program like the free PDFLab to join all of the PDFs into one.

Inverted images when printing pdf to Universal PDF driver

Our company is beginning to use SSGD with two Windows XP instances (via RDP?). We deal largely with pdf forms that contain black & white bitmap image data. Within the SGD Windows instance, the pdf opens fine in Adobe Reader. Printing to any of the local printers configured on SGD is also fine. When printing to either of the Universal PDF print drivers (Printer or Viewer), however, the image portions of the document show up on the client side with inverted black/white.
This occurs only for images embedded in the pdf. If I print the image as a separate bitmap file, it comes out fine on the client side.
Any ideas?
-dan

what version of SGD and what version of Ghostscript do you have installed on the SGD server?
$ tarantella version
$ gs -V
it may be that you have an older version of Ghostscript or not all the proper fonts installed
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6689/chapter5.html#d0e26763
another thing to test is how the PS print job looks like before it gets converted by Ghostscript. You can pause the printing on SGD 'tarantella print pause' then look for the PS file on your Windows XP instance (c:\TEMP) is the usual location of the file. See if it is not being rendered properly. If it is not, then you would want to choose a different driver to use
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6689/appendix1.html#d0e49203
try another driver and see if that makes a difference.

Adobe PDF driver no longer supported

I recently purchased an iMAC running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 which no longer supports Adobe's PDF printer driver. This driver had an ADD BORDER setting which I relied heavily on. Without the availability of this driver, I now must EXPORT to PDF from the applications that I use; Specifically, Adobe Illustrator CS4 & QuarkExpress 9.
Since the Adobe PDF printer driver is no longer supported, I can't find a selection to ADD A BORDER when exporting to PDF from within these applications. My client insists on having a border around components within my PDF files. I have over a hundred files for this client. How can I add a border (not a frame) to my exported PDF files?
The only solution I can find is to add an empty outline box to each file, export it to PDF, then delete the outline box before preping each file for printing. This work around should be unnecessary. If there's something I'm missing, please help.

Hi,
I think I found the answer.
I updated to Acrobat Professional 9.4.4. But that isn't the answer.
I tracked it down to the installation of Firefox 4.
Found these discussions:

Specifically, in the second discussion there is a comparsion of browsers with hardware acceleration turned on and off and their outputs (text vs graphic).
When I turn hardware acceleration off, the PDF from the Adobe PDF Printer is searchable.
I am using Firefox 4.0.1.

Adobe PDF driver keeps dissapearing.

The adobe pdf print driver keeps dissapearing on Windows 7 x64 bit machines with acrobat 10 pro installed. I'm constantly having to repair the installation on these machines. Does anyone have any ideas of a fix for this issue?

Yes, that's where I'm looking.

PDF Driver Issue?

I'm unable to print to PDF when using online applications ... and when using Adobe applications, this function doesn't seem to be working as efficiently as it should. Help? It seems to me that I should be able to download a driver from Adobe ... or something ... instead of buying or downloading a new application. THANK YOU for your help Adobe people!!!

Hi eyespireddesign,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, please explain your workflow step by step along with the error message.
Also, kindly attach a screenshot if possible.
Thanks,

Cannot Print to PDF - Driver issues (?)

Hello,
I can't print to PDF from InDesign or for that matter any of my other non-Adobe programs.
All the file does in print in error in my PDF printer dialog box and nothing happens.
Just to clarify, exporting as an interactive PDF is not the solution I'm looking for.
I'm running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 8 Installed and Acrobat Reader X installed.
When I try to right click the pdf print and go to 'Adobe PDF Printing Preferences' and
set the Adobe PDF folder/output to anything that would prompt me for the file name, I can only select a port by the name of LPT1 and nothing else.
Also, odd but maybe related, I can't even set the PDF security.
Help would be delightful

The 64 bit system may be an issue. I do not remember any responses related to success with AA8 and Win 7, 64. In any case, you need to be at no less than AA 8.1. That was required on 64 bit versions of XP. I would open AA8 and start the update process. If you are offered more than 1 update, do them in order. I don't usually update this way and so am not that familiar with the screen that is offered. You may have to download the updates, in which case you have to download all appropriate updates and install them in order. They are not cummulative. If you download them, you should probably store the updates some place in case you need them again in the future. You also should only have to restart after the last update, though many of them will suggest a restart. AA 8 is at something like 8.3.2.
The updates may solve the problem. Please report back on your success with the 64 bit version of Win7. That helps us help others.

PDF driver only print .prn

I've done a search and can't find any thing about this.
When selecting "Adobe PDF" in the File--->Print section of any Office App (Word, Powerpoint, etc) Adobe asks where I would like the PDF file saved, but the only option in the File Type drop down is .prn. .pdf is not an option. How can I get .pdf back?

Printing to a PDF file directly Using Adobe's Printer driver and NO GUI

We are on Oracle 10G running Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
I would like to be able to run Oracle Reports directly to a PDF file using Adobe's pdf driver and not oracle's pdf driver (not happy with it). (This can be done easily enough) using Adobe's PDF Converter as the Printer.
My additional requirement is to provide the output filename to the Adobe's pdf driver and have the report be executed without any user intervention. How do I do this?
Thanks

Not following asking for more????
I just want to create pdf files with Oracle Reports (not using the Oracle PDF driver) but using one I have and the I will process these PDF files using my own utilities.

PDF Quality using PDF Print driver on Mac v FMP on PC

We’re having an issue that I hope you can help us resolve. When creating the same PDF document on a MAC v PC using Adobe PDF driver built into the Filemaker Pro we are getting a drastically different quality of document. Originally I assumed it was the original PDF driver installed on the PC itself since it was an off brand “LITE” version so I had the user remove all other PDF software and start from scratch with acrobat. Still getting the same results. I have no idea if and where quality settings would be found on the PC or in FMP to check those…
Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

How can I make some pages in a PDF display in single-page view and others in two-page (facing) view?

Exactly as it says on the tin. I am looking to save a PDF magazine/book layout in such a way so that when opened, only the front and back covers open to the viewer in single-page mode, and the rest of the pages in two-page facing mode, without re-printing the in-between pages in booklet format and re-inserting them into a new PDF (with the front and back covers left separate and untouched, and included as single portrait-orientation pages). This is so that individual pages can still be printed (on a physical printer, not a "virtual" one like a PDF driver), as-is without having the page next to it included, or the printouts always requiring landscape orientation (resulting with two "pages" from the PDF showing up on one sheet of paper).
So when the PDF is opened, I want just the front and back cover to be auto-viewed by themselves, and the content (the "meat" of the document) viewed side-by-side, as though one were actually reading a "book" -- but without actually re-doing the content pages to be "fused" side-by-side. Thus creating the "illusion" that they are, in fact, in booklet form. Is this possible, to have different page-display settings for different pages/page ranges in a single PDF? If so, how is this done? If not, what would be my best course of action otherwise to achieve this "virtual" book layout, while still retaining the "physical" structure of the document and allowing individual pages to be printed by themselves rather than "fused" together?

The best you can do practicably is the 'two up with cover page' view mode. The first page will appear singly but not centered, and to get the last page to behave it would have to be a folio sheet.
It's theoretically possible to use JavaScript to reset the view mode as each page is changed, but it makes for a nightmare of usability (what if someone on a smaller display wants to use 'fit to width'? Not an option if JS keeps overruling it). Anything involving JS won't work on non-Adobe software or mobile devices.
Not a programmer by any means, so I won't be using JavaScript because I wouldn't know where to begin. I was thinking more in terms of an option I could adjust in the menus or dialogues.
