PDF file created is 92% smaller

If I create a pdf file either using thr Print function (Save to PDF) or even withing Photoshop (Save As .... PDF). This is a pain when I'm trying to email scaled drawings. Cna this be changed to creat the PDF as 100%?

Saving a PDF using OS X's built in function will always result in a small file. You can't set the resolution/level of quality with it. In order to save full size PDF files, you will have to invest in Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional. One you have that, even Photoshop's "Save As PDF" calls up the Acrobat Distiller so you can choose a level of quality. Otherwise, you're stuck with whatever Photoshop does without it.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

Finding Hidden PDF files created by iPhoto/Book

early last year there was a discussion concerning the hidden high res pdf files created by Book in iPhoto. I've searched for it with no luck. I want to use the pages I create in Book for Quicktime Slideshows, as I did then. Is this still possible with iPhoto 6 and if so does anyone know where they are hidden now? I did right click on the book and save a pdf of the book but the res does not seem very high.

It's been a while since you guys were on this topic, but here's my 2 cents.
Wanting to see a PDF of my book to check on some text wrap issues, I did click "buy now" last night and cancelled as soon as the book was done assembling and iPhoto started the upload. Didn't receive an e-mail thanking me for my order, so I figured things were fine.
This morning, I discovered a "pending transaction" to Apple on my bank account, and I am currently waiting to see if it will actually go through or not. When calling Apple Customer service, they told me my credit card was probably "pinged" because the order was started, but the charge may "fall off" because the upload was aborted. If I wanted to know for sure, I had to e-mail iPhoto support (calling wasn't possible), and could expect a response within 48 hrs. Well, within that time frame I will be able to see for myself what happens with that charge, but in the meantime the amount is deducted from my balance. So for anyone out there wondering what happens when you click "buy now," there you go.
The good news is, I did get the desired PDF file. I compared it with the file that "File>Print" generates and the only differences I see in a quick comparison are:
- File>Print does not include the blank pages (inside covers and back page), so I end up with 55 pages instead of 58, and the file size is slightly smaller (46.6MB compared to 47.2MB)
- File>Print's PDF shows 792x612 dimensions (under "get info"), compared to Buy Now's 797.76001 x 617.76001. I have no idea what that is about. Maybe a bleed or something?
Hope this helps someone.

Problem with PDF files created by Indesign

PDF files created by Adobe Indesign come up as blank pages whereas PDF files created by Mac OS X or Apple's Pages display OK. Is there a difference in the way PDF files are created?

No problem with Adobe Reader 8 or 9 .

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);

     dst_offset          number := 1;
     amount              number;
begin
     l_itemtype := substr(document_id, 1, instr(document_id, ':') - 1);

     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.

                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);

l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);

    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

Hope more advise or any examples,thank a lot.

Will Adobe Reader 11 read older PDF files created in Adobe Acrobat 8?

Hello,
I have finally updated my computer & husband computer at home to Adobe Reader 11, but now I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to.
I scanned some old family pictures using Adobe Acrobat 8 onto CD's, and I used Adobe Reader 8.3.0 to view them. Now I would ike to know, if the newer Adobe Reader 11 will still read the older pdf files created in acrobat 8?
If this won't work, then how do I convert the pdf files to jpeg? I have Microsoft XP Professional onboard our computers.
My husband does have a Adobe Photoshop onboard his computer.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Maureen

Adobe Reader XI should be able to view old files as well.

Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top. One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past. I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation. Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades. Thanks

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi jeffjn,
Please log out of your account, clear the cache, and then log back in. If that doesn't work, please log in using a different web browser. (See System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported web browsers.)

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

I am unable to open PDF files created from another PGM.

Is there an ADOBE pgm that will properly read in PDF files created from another pgm and convert them to ADOBE PDF so they do not error when they are opened to be viewed by ADOBE pgm?

There is no way to know all the different scan/fax/pdf printers that are used to make the original PDFs...
CAD-KAS PDF Editor 2.6 is used to edit the files
doPDF 5 is used to modify pdf file.
Interesting, I can use the free CAD-KAS PDF reader to open & read the PDF file that the ADOBE XI reader
gives me the above error message.

Mavericks CPU can't open pdf files created on Yosemite

I've looked around for this issue, but I haven't seen any questions similar to mine.
My wife and I have identical MacBook Pros. Hers is running Mavericks, while I've updated mine to Yosemite.
By chance, we realized that if I email her files created on my laptop, she can't open them. I've sent her Pages files, and the same files converted to PDF. So, either on Preview or Pages, she cannot open those files I've sent her.
I know that the easy answer is "update your wife's laptop to Yosemite," but I'm rather curious whether there's a bug in the system that hasn't been discovered. Besides, my wife is quite happy with Mavericks, and that's fine by me.
Any help or suggestion in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
BK

I just tested opening a Pages v5.5.1 file on Yosemite and Exporting it to a PDF file. Then I copied the PDF and Pages files over to another Mac running Mavericks and I was able to open and view the PDF file. I can't open the actual Pages file in Mavericks created in Yosemite because the Pages app is a different version in Mavericks (v5.2.2) and not compatible with the Yosemite version. But, PDFs definitely work fine and I can also open/view the same PDF file on a Mac running Mountain Lion. So, Preview in Mavericks and Mountain Lion, for me, open and view PDF files created from Yosemite/Pages without issue.
Have you tried opening your PDF file on another Mac running Mavericks?
You might try reinstalling Mavericks on top of itself. Maybe Preview in Mavericks is somehow corrupt. On the Mavericks Mac, you can redownload/reinstall Mavericks from the App Store using the same Apple ID that originally downloaded it. Or restart the Mavericks Mac into the Recovery HD (Command+R) and Reinstall OS X from there. Back up before you do the reinstall. The reinstall won't harm any data or apps. It just installs the OS over itself.

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent?

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent? I even blank copied myself and nothing seems to have been sent. Could it bee the size of the PDF file?

They send for me, my test document was 3.8 MB.
