PDF file in rigth orientation

Hello,
Is there any way to enforce Reports to generate a PDF file which orientation is Landscape ?
(The user do not have to configure printer to set the orientation, he just push the Print button)
Thank's in advance

Thank's for your reply,
i did all what you say, but unfortunately, when the PDF is open in AcrobatReader and user just press Print button, if the printer setup was portrait then the PDF is printed in portrait, even if all parameters in the report are in landscape...
the landndscape informations in the report are not used...

Not able to print pdf files into landscape orientation

I am working on a R12 imnplementaion where I have to print labels on Zebra printer in landscape orientation using acroread through PASTA printing. Oracle Application uses xml publisher to generate these pdfs. All the printouts come in portrait orientation even I choose landscape. I have used acroread version 5 and 9.3.3. Can someone help me on this? I have used below syntaxes:
I was using
acroread -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -landscape BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PS |lp -d label
and It was not working.
I found a hit on metalink and it says that we should not use –pairs in the command line. If I remove –pairs, then we can’t pass {inline} {outline} parameters. Then I have tried all the below commands:
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript -landscape |lp -d label
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript -shrink -landscape |lp -d label
Thanks & Regards

Hi Swadesh,
Try using the -rotateAndCenter option.
cat A.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -shrink -rotateAndCenter | lp -d <PRINTERr>
OR
acroread -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -rotateAndCenter A.pdf - | lp -d <PRINTER>
Let me know if this helps.

Page orientation when combining multiple postscript files to a pdf file

Hi
I'm having problems with the orientation of my pages when I generate pdf's from multiple postscript files.
I have 3 postscript files that need to be merged into 1 pdf, and they contain a mixture of portrait and landscape pages.
To create the pdf, I use the following code (because i have lots and lots of pdf files to produce)...
/prun { /mysave save def
     dup = flush
     RunFile
     clear cleardictstack
     mysave restore
} def
(D:/example/fileA.ps) prun
(D:/example/fileB.ps) prun
(D:/example/fileC.ps) prun
... however, when I run the above code (by saving the text file into the /in directory of a watched folder), whilst I get a pdf, the page orientation isn't right. For some reason, the first few pages are oriented correctly, then after about page 7 everything is portrait no matter what.
The funny thing is, when I simply double-click on one of the postscript files (eg. fileA.ps), distiller changes it to pdf and the orientation is perfect for each file separately (fileA, fileB, fileC). Even when I run the above code for just one ps file it works. But as soon as I put all 3 sub-files together it doesn't orient properly.
I've tried activating and de-activating auto-rotate in the PDF settings, as well as the DSC options in the Advanced tab, and whilst these changes do affect the pdf I get when I simply double-click a certain postscript file, it seems to have no effect when I try to combine the 3 files with the code above. I still end up with the first few pages oriented correctly, then after about page 7 everything is portrait.
Hope someone can help.
Danny

Ok i successfully generated my PDF files.
Now I'm having difficulties merging them. I use a DDX file named LiveCycleInput.ddx
What I do (everything in LiveCycle Workbench):
1) FileReader to open the .ddx file as a document (successfully)
2) Store the read document in a process variable (successfully)
3) Assembler.invokeDDX with following arguments:
Document DDX = process variable (read in 2)
OutputResult = "AssemblerResult" processVariable which has type AssemblerResult as specified by the documentation
Errorlog
Everytime I run the process I get the following stacktrace in my server's logfile:
... 119 more

The .ddx file is stored in the same path as my generated .pdf files are stored.

<PDF source="testFileJpg.jpg.pdf"/>
<PDF source="testFileOdt.odt.pdf"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
Note that the DDX file is read from a network drive(!!) the source PDF files are in the same folder as the ddx file (hence no further path-links).
Adding network paths to the source & result pdfs does not change a thing.
All PDF Files apart from the result pdf fiile are present in that same folder
I consulted the DDX reference multiple times and this is the simplest ddx that should work ... but it doesnt.
Can anyone help me?

Acrobat 9 mixed orientation pdf file print problem

I have a pdf file with 10 pages or so. The pages change from landscape to portrait every so often. When I tell it to print, the file will only print until the orientation changes, then it will quit. Is there a way to get the file to print completely?

Creating pdf-file from multiple files with different orientation

How do I put together two files with different orientation in the page set up so that the lying A4-format is standing up in the new pdf-file?

First I've underline a Phrase in your Question did you mean underlying A4-format?
Are both PDF Files created with A4-Format? If yes then:
Did you shift orientation to Portriat Format for the item(s) that you need, such as a Chart or an excel Document? If so:
Then when the documents are meged They should print correctly.

How do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out. Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.
Thanks,

Combined Acrobat file - scanned PDF wrongly gets landscape orientation

Online subscription Acrobat - when combining files, a scanned portrait-orientation PDF file is reformatted to landscape orientation, clipping contents at the bottom of the page. Is this a bug, or can I fix this?
Frode

One solution was to take the scanned PDF, open it in Reader, and "Print-to-PDF" it again but selecting Landscape orientation instead of automatic orientation.

Layout orientation problem when printing 2-sided InDesign booklet from pdf file

I created a booklet (layout, letter-half) and it prints correctly directly from the .indd file. When I convert it to a pdf and print from that file, the back-sided pages get reversed and print up-side down. In other words, pages 1 & 8 are fine, but back-sided pages 2 & 7 print in reversed order and upside-down. (The pdf file itself looks fine). I have tried to trouble-shoot everywhich way--from conversion level to printer level--but I can't get this to work. Any help? Tips? Thanks.

Hi Doreen,
At 250 copies it may well be less expensive in consumables and time to have a quick print place to print this. Around here I would use my local FedEx Office. But I would also contact the offset/digital printer establishment I have used for years. A lot of the time they can match or beat the price and they do a better job.
Take care, Mike

Related to creating pdf file through form6i in Win 2000

I have created a form which will generate pdf file by calling a report. I am able to generate pdf files in platforms like Win 2000,Win NT,Win 98. But expect in Win 2000, I am able to read the pdf file in acrobat.
The error displayed while opening pdf in acrobat is: There was a error processing this page,There was a problem to read this page (122).
Form6i and Reports6i is installed in Win 2000 and acrobat reader version is 5.0
Please answer my question immediately

Sorry Im totally new to acrobat so this may seem like a daft question> I have scanned a document through a document feed scanner into a pdf format but some of the pages are orientated the wrong way within the pdf, is there a way to change the direction of pages and then save the whole pdf again so that everything is the right way round. I know that you can change the orintation while reading the pdf but as this is being put into web ct for students I would prefer for them not to have to do this.

How to save print setup for pdf file so that every user can open and print w/o manually performing?

Can is there a way to configure the print settings (i.e. paper size, orientation, etc.) and save this setting as part of the pdf file? I would like the users of pdf files to be able to open the file and simply print, without having to manually configure the print settings.

Not sure if this will help. I got this information from the built-in help under Acrobat 9.
Advanced
Lists PDF settings, print dialog presets, and reading options for the document.In the PDF settings for Acrobat, you can set a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for web links in the document. Specifying a base URL makes it easy for you to manage web links to other websites. If the URL to the other site changes, you can simply edit the base URL and not have to edit each individual web link that refers to that site. The base URL is not used if a link contains a complete URL address.
You can also associate a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF. When the PDF is searched with the Search PDF window, all of the PDFs that are indexed by the specified PDX file are also searched.
You can include prepress information, such as trapping, for the document. You can define print presets for a document, which prepopulate the Print dialog box with document-specific values. You can also set reading options that determine how the PDF is read by a screen reader or other assistive device.
Create print presets
A PDF can contain a set of print presets, a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print options. By creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time you print the document. It’s best to define print settings for a PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets provide a means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.
Print Dialog Presets
Page Scaling
Prepopulates the Page Scaling option in the Print dialog box with the option you choose:
Default
Uses the application default setting, which is Shrink To Printable Area.
None
Prevents automatic scaling to fit the printable area. This setting is useful for preserving the scale of page content in engineering documents, or for ensuring that documents print at a particular point size to be legal.
DuplexMode
For best results, the selected printer should support duplex printing if you select a duplex option.
Simplex
Prints on one side of the paper.
Duplex Flip Long Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the long edge.
Duplex Flip Short Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the short edge.
Paper Source By Page Size
Selects the option by the same name in the Print dialog box. Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have different-sized output trays.
Print Page Range
Prepopulates the Pages box in the Print Range section of the Print dialog box with the page ranges you enter here. This setting is useful in a workflow where documents include both instruction pages and legal pages. For example, if pages 1–2 represent instructions for filling out a form, and pages 3–5 represent the form, you can set up your print job to print multiple copies of only the form.
Number Of Copies
Prepopulates the Copies box in the Print dialog box. Choose a number from 2 to 5, or choose Default to use the application default, which is one copy. This limitation prevents multiple unwanted copies from being printed.
Thanks.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

How to use cfdocument create a PDF file and save the file in server?

Hi,
I want to use cfdocument to create a PDF file and save it in
the server for other people to download,can you give me a idea how
to do this.Thanks.
<cfdocument format = "PDF" pagetype="A4"
orientation="portrait">
</cfdocument>

Hi
<cfdocument filename="" format = "PDF" pagetype="A4"
orientation="portrait">
</cfdocument>
Give the physical path to the filename. You have write
permission for this folder to create a PDF file.

Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
The page is truncated on the right hand side
Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder ... C:\Windows\Temp and
checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
Any pointers will be gratefully received

Some progess
I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
So to recap
File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.

How can I save a rotated pdf file?

I have received a pdf file of many pages in landscape orientation that need to be saved in portrait orientation. I know how to rotate the file, but how can I save the rotated document?
[This is my first entry, so apologies if I have got my entries mixed up]

Hello Laurie,
Unfortunately this does not work with Adobe Reader, but with Adobe Acrobat or similar programs (Google could be your friend ) BUT you could try Acrobat free for 30 days, if you'd like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

Help renaming pdf files based on internal content

I work for a company that has thousands of E-tickets coming in daily, weekly, monthly, etc..
These tickets come in bafhakfbaifh.pdf and we have to manually rename them or print them all out and then sort through them and put them in order.
What I would like to do is:
1. Split any pdf's that have more than one page or "ticket" in my case. I know how to do this with automator easily, but I'd love to keep it all in one program.
2. Search the file for Event Name (i.e. Madonna)
3. Search the file for Date of event (August 12, 2012)
4. Search the file for Section, Row, Seat (124 3 12)
5. Rename the file based on content found (Madonna August 12 2012 124 3 12.pdf)
6. Move from original download folder to organized folders based on artist/team.
7. Automatically print in alphabetical or some sort of designated order.
Any help is muchly appreciated. So far, I found a PC program called A-PDF rename, but it is not automated enough to be practical. Hazel is awesome at OCRing the pdf and moving from folder to folder, but does not do enough.
Any help is muchly appreciated.
Thank you.

You're looking for a PDF Parser or PDF miner tool (PDFminer) as a starting framework, and you'll almost certainly be writing custom code around that as parsing a text file that's effectively free-form and originating from multiple different sources almost always (always?) involves writing customized processing code and an on-going series of tweaks as the suppliers of the PDF change their ticket formats. (Even apparently-simple details such as the time and date formats, for instance, can vary by geography and language and by supplier, and can derail common processing.)
In some cases that I can envision, it'd be entirely possible that the data you're after is actually located in an embedded image and not in text that can be parsed.
The best approach is to get folks to send you JSON or XML or some other format intended for interchange, and avoid the whole mess that is parsing or mining a printer-oriented format.
The other obvious option is to use something like Amazon's Mechanical Turk or some other explicitly outsourced help. Depending on how often the formats change and how many of these PDF files you're dealing with and how varied the formats are, sometimes throwing staff at the problem can be the most cost-effective approach.
