Hi guys, from time to time we do some pdf with the same mistake. A blured image and the rest is fine. I am attaching a sample.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1UZrPlmekntsWkrwDReogBP6FyAsbh
We work with InDesing, save as Postscript and then make the PDF with Pitstop. Our IT guy have no idea why that happens, he said he searched in forums with no answer so far.
Any ideas?
SebastiaoHi Jon,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, the blurry image i am talking about is the one in the center of the PDF. It is a photo of a motorcycle detail with the pdf did not "understand" when it convert it. Clearly that is an error.
Let me check with the IT how they do the PDF, since i am mostly a designer other people in the company take care of the PDF. I know the make a postscript and then PITSTOP makes the PDF, but i could be wrong.
Thanks again,
Sebastiao -
Weird print/pdf error when images are over a table
Hi all
I'm having a trouble with Pages where if I have an image over a table (so it looks like it's in the box) it can cause the table borders to go missing. As this is a little hard to describe I have made a pdf file showing the problem...
http://homepage.mac.com/sonicisblue/FileSharing29.html
As you can see, the first page appears fine, where as the second page's table borers have gone...
I have the same problems throughout the document, regardless of whether I print to a printer or print to PDF.
If someone could help I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

MacBook, 1.83 Ghz, 1.25 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)Ah - I've spent a lot of time mastering tables in Pages - they could be a wonderful tool for lots of things - my favourite being positioning photo captions right beneath the picutre...
Re your problem, try this:
- double click the cell in the table (you will see yellow highlight around it)
- go to Object Inspector, then choose Image Fill, then either choose your image (photo) from the folder you'd saved it in or open Media from the toolbar and click and drag the image you want in the cell from the Media dialogue window to the little window in the Object Inspector (it shows a green plus sign when it's ready to be imported)
See if your photo best fits the cell with Image Fill set to 'Scale to Fit' or 'Scale to Fill'. You may have to crop the original photo if the way the picture fills the cell doesn't suit you. Go back to iPhoto (or import your image to iPhoto), duplicate it, crop the duplicate (so as not to loose the original image) and repeat the procedure.
This helped me. See several articles I published on working with tables on:

Error using the distiller in Acrobat Professional 8 to create a PDF from an Aspose.Words .doc docume
Hi,
We use Aspose.Words to create Microsoft Word (.doc) documents from one of our Intranet applications. These documents are then further modified in Microsoft Word and are then converted to PDF files using the distiller in Acrobat 8 Professional.
The distiller ends with a message saying it encountered an error and could not complete the conversion.
If we create a document directly in Microsoft Word and then use the distiller to convert it to a PDF, the distiller runs just fine.
Would you have any idea of what might be causing this problem? The distiller gives no indication of the cause of the problem, only that is one!
I also tried using the Create Adobe PDF Online service to convert the same Aspose.Words .doc file and it worked fine.
Any help you can give on this would be most appreciated!
Thanks!Thanks for your response. I mistakenly referred to the distiller.
We are using PDF Maker in Word. It appears as an icon on the Word toolbar once Acrobat Professional 8 has been installed. When I open the Aspose.Words .doc document in Word and click on the toolbar icon, PDF Maker launches and starts the conversion program and then Microsoft Word ends with their standard message "Microsoft Word has encountered an error and needs to close...".
I also tried going into Acrobat Professional 8 and chose File --> Create PDF --> From File off the menu bar. I selected the same Aspose.Words .doc document file to convert and once again the conversion process started, but this time it gave me the following error message:
"Unable to convert PDF file.
Invalid page range or conversion setting parameters."
When I clicked on OK to clear the message, I got the following:
"Acrobat could not open 'xxxxx.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft applications."
I assume that since the on-line service can successfully convert this document, it is a supported file type and is not damaged (not sent as an email attachment, so no issue there). I tried opening the document in Word and printing it to Adobe PDF and that worked, but my users really like the convenience of the Acrobat toolbar so I would like them to be able to use it to create PDF files from Aspose.Words documents.
I am using all the default settings. Is there some setting I should be changing?
As I mentioned earlier, I did try the Create Adobe PDF on-line service with this same file and it worked just fine, so there seems to be a difference between how the on-line service does the conversion and how PDF Maker does it. Printing the document to Adobe PDF also works, so again, there must be some difference in the way PDF Maker does it.
Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much! -
Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe Distiller Printer, from where to get these?
I installed Acrobat 7.0 Professional from the CS2 suite. During installation a message came up, "Warning 20225, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 set up was unable to create a new item: The Adobe PDF Printer Converter may be unavailable.
Get last Error: The specified module could not be found."
To convert WORD files to pdf I get "unable to find "Adobe PDF Printer or Acrobat Distiller" printer. I have run the installer in repair mode several times without success. Where from and how do I get the Adobe Printer and/od Distiller printer from. I have searched the Adobe web site with out success. Please help anyone who can.Yes, the software was installed while logged in as administrator,
anti-virus was disabled too. I first installed AA7 using my original disc
and the same messages came up and the same problem existed i.e.. could not
convert to PDF. Uninstalled the software and installed again using the
serial no given to me by ADOBE help,CS2. Nothing seems to work. -
Hello all-
I was wondering if it is possible to create a PDF document with images from a report that has images, through the FOP. I have tried this on APEX 3.2.1 and APEX 4.0.1, but with no success. I installed FOP in a standalone OC4J that I have installed on my PC and this works fine. I am using the Demonstration Application to test creating the PDF with images by trying to print page 23 - it is a report with images. I get a PDF report, but the image column is blank - no image, no errors. Has anyone been able to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
GregHi,
yes you can, this tool allows you to create FOP templates with images (look at the examples)
http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php?info=guide
You can of course create your own FOP templates without this tool, there is a XSL-FO tag to do that, you must make sure the images are available to the print server, either by referencing images on the file system or deploying the images in the print server.

Press ready PDF from Pages (CMYK + Distiller)
Sorry for the odd title but i wanted to get as much information in there as possible. I am in the process of switching printing companies for the support propaganda that i use to promote my artwork. I make one of a kind pieces of furniture.
In the past I have used inDesign to prepare the layout and then I export a PDF as per the printers instructions. I always start in Pages as it is so fluid for me to use. I want to try to avoid inDesign this time and I could use some advice on getting the most out of Pages.
In this case I am working on a tri fold. The text in it is black or grey and the images have a 1 pix black border around them. The printer specifies values for rich black that i understand how to add via the color wheel and the CMYK sliders.
As of now I have added the images from Aperture.
I set up a pdf preset from Adobe Distiller that converts the images to CMYK and resizes them to 300DPI via bicubic sampling. compression is set to Zip. The printer does not want a color profile so none is imbedded.
From Pages I can print to my Adobe Printer and choose those presets.
What do you think?
Would I get better results if i exported my Aperture images as Tiffs and converted them to CMYK in Photoshop (my old inDesign work flow) and then added them to pages?
I am looking to get the best results for the images and simple text that i use. I should mention the the last element that I have is white text over an image. Are there any problems with Pages created text or graphics when sent to a Professional Printing Press?
Many thanks and I would be happy to provide more information if it would help in answering my questions.Soooo, worked on this with my printer and this is what we came up with. He sampled the different Images (on one doc) and some came in at 230 dpi. some 600. so we have concluded that Pages will do a good job as for keeping the res. You just have to make sure; for example the 230 was a 300 5x7ish then I resized in the Mask to go up width 2 inches and of course lost the res.- so of course i must go back to the source and make my adjustment say in photoshop. WORK FLOW- i have decided to just layout> then go back as needed ( just the enlarged image). CMYK- the printer said DON"T take it out to photoshop to convert to CMYK ( as they can do it easy enough) and you risk sharpness in the font.
So that was a fun day of research! -
Failed to open pdf error on every document
Today I came and started placing pdf documents in Indesign CS3 like I always do, and suddenly I start getting "failed to open pdf" errors on every pdf file I try and place. I have tried all the suggested tactics of selecting show import options, changing the crop to bounding box, etc. Nothing working.
I also tried to open the pdf in acrobat and export into a different format or optimize it using the pdf optimizer, but when I do that I get gobbly **** text on the pdf. See screenshots
The only workaround that works is to save as a raster image. But this is incredibly time consuming. I also tried importing these same files into Indesign cs 4 and I get the same errors. I am wondering if this is a system wide issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
I noticed all these pdf were created using cs4 and above. Not sure if this helps.Hold the Shift key as you click Place or turn on Show Import Options in the Place dialogue.
I get this from time to time. Here’s what I think happens: You placed a PDF with Import Options showing so you could select a different crop method, like bleed. This becomes the new default import option for PDF files. But if you import a file with no bleed data InDesign gives an error message instead of either jumping to import options or telling you the default crop options are unavailable for this file. I would call it a bug. I have encountered it from at least version 4 (aka CS2). -
PDF Watermark - logo image is not displayed in ibr converted pdf
Hi
I have enabled pdf watermark administration and configured image watermark with rule, if the content type is document then the image watermark is to be applied but it is not displayed to the converted word document to pdf by IBR.
If i change image watermark layer to "over", then image watermark is displayed, but word are displayed under the logo image watermark, so it is difficult to study the document.
If the native file is pdf, then its image watermark is working fine.
Thanks
DeepakHi ,
I think this could be caused by the following :
Check the factor set for Transparency and if it is completely opaque (Transparency =0%) then the converted PDF's will not show watermarks which has Layer set to UNDER.
To get the watermarks displayed PPT's will need to be set to Transparency = 100% .
The intention of the UNDER watermarking layer is that it should appear"behind" whatever is in the content layer.If the content layer completely covers the page and is opaque, then nothing behind it will be visible,including watermarks.The only reasonable solution is to check the above mentioned value before submitting the PPT's for conversion so that users are aware of this behavior for PPT's
The above description if for PPT's where in this was found to be caused by the transparency factor of native PPT . If it is a word document then check for the same setting and set to 100% , then test .
Hope this helps .
Thanks,

How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table
How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table
Hi,
Try This
Loading an image into a BLOB column and displaying it via OAS
The steps are as follows:
Step 1.
Create a table to store the blobs:
create table blobs
( id varchar2(255),
blob_col blob
Step 2.
Create a logical directory in the database to the physical file system:
create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'c:\images';
Step 3.
Create a procedure to load the blobs from the file system using the logical
directory. The gif "aria.gif" must exist in c:\images.
create or replace procedure insert_img as
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into blobs values ( 'MyGif', empty_blob() )
return blob_col into b_lob;
f_lob := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'aria.gif' );
dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
commit;
end;
Step 4.
Create a procedure that is called via Oracle Application Server to display the
image.
create or replace procedure get_img as
vblob blob;
buffer raw(32000);
buffer_size integer := 32000;
offset integer := 1;
length number;
begin
owa_util.mime_header('image/gif');
select blob_col into vblob from blobs where id = 'MyGif';
length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
while offset < length loop
dbms_lob.read(vblob, buffer_size, offset, buffer);
htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(buffer));
offset := offset + buffer_size;
end loop;
exception
when others then
htp.p(sqlerrm);
end;
Step 5.
Use the PL/SQL cartridge to call the get_img procedure
OR
Create that procedure as a function and invoke it within your PL/SQL code to
place the images appropriately on your HTML page via the PL/SQL toolkit.
from a html form
1. Create an HTML form where the image field will be <input type="file">. You also
need the file MIME type .
2. Create a procedure receiving the form parameters. The file field will be a Varchar2
parameter, because you receive the image path not the image itself.
3. Insert the image file into table using "Create directory NAME as IMAGE_PATH" and
then use "Insert into TABLE (consecutive, BLOB_OBJECT, MIME_OBJECT) values (sequence.nextval,
EMPTY_BLOB(), 'GIF' or 'JPEG') returning BLOB_OBJECT, consecutive into variable_blob,
variable_consecutive.
4. Load the file into table using:
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(variable_blob, variable_file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(variable_file_name));
dbms_lob.fileclose(variable_file_name);
commit.

PDF Error in Performance Management
Hi
When launching the Performance Management link from Manager Self Service (Role) --> Talent Management --> Performance Management I am getting the PDF error. Seems the page is trying to open the form in PDF, instead I want it to be displayed in html itself.
For Travel Expense form I have changed the URL parameter "sap.xss.tra.UsePdf=true" for the resource EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05.
What is the PCD Object and the resource key for the corresponding Performance Management iView.
Thanks,
MurthyDid you get this error in the initial landing page?
Please detail out the error. And for the pcd location, it depends on the role you created unless you are using standard objects.
This iview should have a webdynpro application. -
File does not begin with '%pdf' error with adobe reader 10.1.5 onwards
In our web application we are using activePDF toolkit (3rd party component) to fill up carrier forms on the fly which are PDF files.
The output file processed by the above library works fine when opened with adobe reader 8, 9 and10 on end user’s browser (IE); however, it gives below error when opening with adobe reader 11.
Till now, we have tried different settings at IIS level, Internet explorer e.t.c. suggested on different internet posts. However, we are still facing the problem.
While analyzing this we have come across following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
According to this adobe 10.1.5 onward file should only start with "%pdf". If file start with other than this we get file corrupted message.
Before we can communicate this message to client we want to confirm this for experts. Please let me know my assumption is right?Rahti - i'm having the same issue but I not familiar with the steps outlined in the Adobe link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
Would you be able to help with how I can navigate to this on my PC to correct it for me.

Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editing...
Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editingbecause Aperture doesn't support the image format.
Thats the message that appears when I'm exporting to Photoshop CS5 (I tried CS4 too), or even other Plug-ins such as Silver Efex Pro...
That had never happened before, and I use Aperture for over 2 years.
Its RAW image format from the same camera and all, nothing has changed. just randomly decided not to export anymore to other programs, Regular exporting works, so it's nothing to do with exporting it self, but the communication between aperture and other softwares, I think.
I've seen some other people having the same problem, does anyone have a take on it, in how to solve this? I can't edit anymore outside of aperture. (of course not including the idea of exporting and doing everything away from aperture, which is totally not viable with the amount of content to be edited and not being in aperture anymore.)
I've tried deleting the preferences, tried repair permissions of the Library, and still didn't work.
Didn't go to the other 2 options (repair and rebuild database) because it would take days if chosen, and still not sure that would solve. or if has anything to do with.
Any light anyone?What kind of file is it? (i.e.jpeg, Canon RAW, Nikon RAW etc..)
As a workaround until you get the issue fixed, why not reimport the image from the original file, lift and stamp any adjustments you've made in Aperture, and see if the same problem occurs?

Saving PDF files as image files using the Preview application
I'm converting PDF files into image files for use with OCR software. The problem is that changing the pixels/inch option from 150 to say 300 does not improve the resolution of the resulting image file. E.g. if I save at 150 p/i and then 300p/i both image files are the same size and resolution. I've tried JPG, JPG-2000, TIFF, and GIF. All produce the same fuzzy result. What am I doing wrong?
The schematic file is made up from vector graphics. There are no images embedded in it. For some reason the OCR software (PDF pen) will not recognize the vector drawn characters near the various components. e.g. There may be a resistor with "R5" written next to it. This is the resistors designator. The designator is what I am trying to do the search on. Since PDF pen can perform OCR on scanned (image) documents I thought that turning the PDF schematic into an image file e.g. JPG using Preview would do the trick. Unfortunately as I have already mentioned I can not seem to get Preview to improve the resolution on the resulting image file - the OCR software struggles to recognize any print.
