PDF Generator fails on Convert-OCR tif

Ok, so LC ES Preview up and kinda running (on XP SP2 Virtual PC, 2gb RAM)
Went to create PDF direct from LCPDFG UI (so, http://localhost:8080/adminui/... etc and a .tif converted fine to an image .pdf
However, when I chose opton 'File Type Settings - Standard OCR' I just got error msg:
'PDFGenerator Process Launcher has encountered aproblem... with ntdll.dll - pdfgen.exe mdmp and appcompat.txt mentioned.
The .tif converts and ocrs fine in stand-alone Acrobat 8 Pro.
p.s. - Error code: 1000 - error msg: ALC-PDF-001-000 Conversion failed because of an exception. RuntimeException:CausedByException is: An unexptected exception while resolving a new connection to an Adobe Service.

Hi Jess - ES is jut running on a virgin XP SP2 Virtual PC (2gb RAM dedicated) so no other processes should be accessing it.
One thing I wondered - for the ES Preview, you get a 30 day eval of Acrobat 8.1 Pro - which of course usually comes up with the 'this is an eval - do you want to buy/continue' I would not have thought it would have been included if a problem, but could that be it?
"Check to be sure the environment variables are set up correctly - this should be done automatically during installation and deployment."
- all the JDK stuff was checked and seemed fine.
Major problem is the vagueness of the LC error msg - any way to get more detailed error info??
Thanks

An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF. Trying to convert a .tif file

I'm new to this conversion system. I tried several times to convert a .tif file to a .pdf file. I got the same message every time: "An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF". What am I doing wrong?

Hi stefan235235,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble combining PDF files using Adobe PDF Pack. Does the error occur with all files that you try to combine, or just a select few?
Make sure that the files you're trying to combine aren't secured, password protected, 3D, or part of a PDF portfolio, as these types of PDFs can't be combined.
If you're combining supported file types and still getting that error, please try the following:
Log out and clear the cache. Then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf using a supported web browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com).
Try combining smaller groups of files, to see if you can narrow the error down to a specific file or files.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

PDF Export fails because of "bad" TIF files

I'm having this problem with InDesign CS3 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.5
PDF export fails occasionally, becasue of some "bad" TIF files. The weird part is that those files are completely good TIF files, which are perfectly readable by any other program! After I resave the supposedly bad file again, it helps, and the PDF export works fine. BUT - imagine me working with a project with 800 images?!! Thanks to some good scripting and forum people, I have found a way to locate the bad images quite fast by using a script that exports each page as a separate PDF, then at least I know at which page it fails. But it's a hassle to do that every time!
Last time I found about 60 "bad" files out of 862.
Why the heck InDesign treats some TIF files as bad? Even if it does, it could at least create a log file, that will tell me at which page the export failed! this could be a real help!
I've asked this question in Photoshop forums, but one of the employees replied that Photoshop doesn't produce bad files. Well, I'm not sure I can belevie that, but that's what they say.

What settings do you use when you save as TIFF ?
On PC platform sometimes InDesign treat TIFFs as "bad" when they are exported with "for Mac" settings.
Or maybe you should switch do PSD format ?

A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size. how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7. Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed. How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara

PDF Generator failing on Azure Website but not development machine

I am using EVOPDF for testing html to pdf.
http://idealpi.azurewebsites.net/defaultpdf.aspx
On local development works fine in full trust. When run on Azure website Reserved mode with full trust in web.config I get error.
Could not get conversion result header. Data receive error. Could not receive
data. Error code: 109
A similar post on discounet.asp site
http://community.discountasp.net/showthread.php?t=14232
indicates this is a full trust issue, but I have full trust defined in web.config
<configuration><system.web> <trust level="Full" />
Is full trust not full trust? Is there another way to define Full Trust?
Greg
PS
The EO company responsed with the following
For scalability and stability reasons, EO.Pdf performs the actual conversion in a separate worker process instead of inside your Web application process. That is probably what’s failing in your environment since in a Web only environment it usually won’t
allow you to spawn your own worker process.
Any workarounds using WAWS?

I have solved problem, with large files (~150 pages).
My Evo to Pdf version is 5.17 under 64bits process (iis 7.5) .
Making this change in web.config works ok

Display in PDF Browser - Item failed to convert in Outlook

Display in PDF Browser - Item failed to convert in Outlook
ben soules - 09:26pm Aug 22, 2007 Pacific
Hi Experts,
This is a bit of a pain I have to distrubte
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 to about 3000+ users and I am having a problem,
In Prefs in "Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1"
When I tick then untick, "display in PDF Browser" from the Preferences, My Outlook will fail to convert to PDF. I get an "Item failed to convert" message and a log file. Also Word 2003 will not post a .PDF to an email.
If I restart "Outlook 2003" it will create a "pdf" when I click the icon the first time, the second time I click it will fail.
Please help.

We also deployed 8.12 to over 1000 users with the "Disable PDF in browser" option checked using the customization wizard. Now we're finding some users need it to view certain PDFs in a web-based application.
We would like to add the option, but removing the registry key doesn't actually install the option when you check it. It seems you might have to create a new mst then redeploy. We'd really like to not have to do that, if at all possible.
In the Reader archives, one guy suggested running this:
msiexec /i Adobe_Reader_8.1_MUI.msi ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration
I haven't tried that yet. Any feedback or other suggestions?

Problems converting any form of document in PDF Generator

Hello,
Could anybody help. I have successfully installed the PDF Generator 7.0.2 on an Windows server 2003 Standard edition. When I put documents into the In folder, I understand, it is supposed to convert the document to another format in the out folder. It is not working at all. I get the following error file:
Failed to process job jobs.txt
Error Code: 11,020
Reason: The source file you submitted is not supported by this version of PDF Generator.
The in and out folder is set up on the client machine.
Please, help. Did I miss something out?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I had the same problem but I resolved it.
What you need to do is just copy the sample pdf generator (convertallfilestopdf) in the LiveCycle workbench.
Just change 1 thing in the sample: in the SetFileName properties, you can see their is just 1 record in the mappings (location ...)
Just delete this record!
Second thing: create a watched folder under your pfd generator service.
http://localhost:8080/adminui/, log on with username: administrator and password: password.
Navigate to your new service (e.g. VDAB PDF Creations). Click on your pdf generator service and you can see 3 records. Choose for Watched Folder and click on "Add". Leave everyting as the standard except the operation name. Choose for "invoke". Now you can see there are several variables. Only 1 is required. The inputdocument.
InputDocument: variable => *.*
OutputPDF document: %F.pdf
Now you can simply drop most of the file extensions (.doc, .jpg, .xls, ...) in the input folder and the service generate a PDF document.
Kind regards,

Why .pdf file, created by Acrobat Distiller 10.1.2. (Windows) failed to convert to MS Word

I tried to convert .pdf file to MS Word, but it failed.
I noticed in a previous discussion on that topic that this converter ccnnot work with
.pdf files cteated by certain producers
My was created by Acrobat Distiller 10.1.2. (Windows)
Is that a rogue producer too?
Thanks

At this point, try Acrobat XI Pro to see if you can convert the document there. A 30-day trial of Acrobat XI Pro is available here:

If the file fails to convert with Acrobat, it may be corrupted. How did you get this PDF?

Problems with PDF generator (PLT file to convert)

Hello everybody,
I'm having a (maybe) stupid problem trying to print a PDF file from a PLT.
Here I write the steps I followed to do my test:
1- download the example file from http://www.winline.com/evalpen_center.html (GL-C-F.plt)
2- from the Administration Panel of Livecycle ES2 go to Services > LifeCycle PDF Generator ES2 > Convert 3D
3- set as input the downloaded file and leave the default of the other parameters ("Create PDF", "Standard")
4- try to generate the PDF.
Here I have three different issues:
- the first is that in the result page, if I click on the link of the PDF file generated, I obtain the message "File does not begin with '%PDF-'" and nothing happen;
- if I click on it and I download the file, I can see it is a PS file, as if LifeCycle generates the PS but it doesn't print the PDF;
- in the end if I convert the PS to PDF, I cannot see anything because the drawing is completly out of the page and too big to be displayed entirely.
Could you suggest me any kind of solution or what I have to check in the parameters? I don't know what I can do now because I don't have any other idea.
If I try to open the file in Adobe 3D Reviewer, I can do what I want, so I think it's not a problem due to compability.
Thanks,
Riccardo

I have paid for adobe but everytime i try to upload a pdf to adobe and convert it to word it fails !!! i have been trying for days now

I have paid for adobe but everytime I try to upload a pdf to adobe and convert it to word I get a fail message after about 5 minutes waiting

Hi Scott,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble using your Acrobat.com subscription. I've checked your account, and there are no issues there.
Is the problem specific to one PDF file, or are you running into the same problem with multiple files? How large is the file (or files) that you're trying to upload? Are they complex (large number of pages; mix of text and graphics)?
Let's start with some basic troubleshooting:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported browsers).
Make sure that there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, we can take a closer look at the files that you're trying to convert.
Best,
Sara

ImageMagick fails to convert a PDF file (GhostScript can't find file?)

I was trying to convert a .pdf file into a .png file with imagemagick (here is the sample pdf file: http://ompldr.org/vY2ljcg ).
However, apparently ImageMagick already failed simply opening the file:
$ convert main.pdf main.png
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
sfopen: gs_parse_file_name failed.
./base/gsicc_manage.c:866: gsicc_open_search(): Could not find lab.icc
| ./psi/zusparam.c:856: set_lab_icc(): cannot find default lab icc profile
convert: Postscript delegate failed `main.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/665.
convert: missing an image filename `main.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3016.
Any ideas?

put it this way. if all PDF creator produces only standard PDF, then ghostscript is fine. But most PDF creator don't (except Adobe Acrobat). So a compatible pdf reader need handle non-standard PDFs. It's a long-term boring maintaining job which need much human resource.
My impression is poppler's community is the most active one which means it has more volunteers to fix bugs.
I am familiar with all the open sourced PDF engines because I did PDF application for 3 years.

You need to provide exact info. What system? What document? What settings? what errors?

The file reads "failed to convert from PDF to word"

The file fails to convert to word. What should I do?

Hi,
What is the error message it is showing?
Is it happening with a single file or with every files?
Try with different browser.
