PDF process hanging up

I've been trying to pdf a multi-chapter book, but the process keeps hanging up on about half the chapters and giving me the message "Couldn't open [chapter file name]." I have to stop and open up each of the files that hangs up the pdf process. I did not see any illegal characters in any of the headings. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks!

The missing fonts can be hidden on Reference pages and in the Table Catalog (totally inaccessible unless you want to try editing the MIF version of the FM file).
However, if you're using a version earlier than FM9, the easiest way to fix this is to turn off your preference (File > Preferences) to "Remember Missing Font Names". The open all of your files (letting FM make the substitutions). Now save all of your files and then change the preference back.
With FM9, there is a new Global font replacement option that makes this fix a snap.
You should be able to proceed with creating the PDF now. If you don't have all of yor book component files open before trying to create a PDF of the book, FM has to silently open each file during the process. If FM runs into any errors (missing fonts, broken cross-refs, missing graphics, etc.,) during this operation, it will simply fail and you will get no notice of what the problem was. By opening all files first, you will at least get some indication of what the errors are and can deal with them (even the missing fonts have been substituted so you should be go to creating the PDF at this point).
However, if FM does generate a temporary postscript output file and the failure occurs during the distilling phase of the PDF creation, then the issue is with either the joboptions settings (force the run to fail if fonts can't be emebedded or found) or most likely some wonky graphics in your FM files.

How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar). I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad). No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..." The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing." How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.

After Acrobat 9.4.3 update, Adobe PDF printer hangs

I just updated to Adobe 9.4.3 and tried to print to the PDF printer. The process hangs with about 4 bars on the progress bar. Nothing prints and the original document is also locked up. I've had to close Firefox using Task Manager. MS Office documents provide a program recovery box allowing me to End Now. What on earth is going on now?

I repaired the installation and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thank goodness.

I had Adobe Acrobat ver. 5 which I was unable to uninstall due to some corrupt files.
Then I tried to install Adobe Acrobat Professional ver 8 . It popped up an error message that You already have a version of adobe which is to be removed. Hence I formatted my C: drive and then successfully installed Adobe Professional Ver 8 . It was a trial version for 30 days.
But when I tried opening Adobe Live Cycle which comes with it, a message popped up saying that Grace Period is over . Please download e-license. My friends who earlier had installed Adobe Professional from the CD are not getting any messages .
Any Ideas to solve the problem.

What's needed for a PDF processing module for InDesign Server?

Hello,
After digging through lots of documentation and whitepapers, I am still puzzled about what would be an efficient way to implement a software module that handles some specific processing tasks of PDF output (automatically generated in InDesign Server and targeted for various types of print configurations from small-run LFP up to very high volume commercial printing).
We have a working standalone script that uses Acrobat's preflight and correction functions, and now we would like to port and integrate this into a server-based workflow. Apparently, there is no Acrobat Server product available. Distiller Server does exist, but seems to be limited to converting PostScript to PDF without the PDF-to-PDF processing features we need. Some of the functionality that is typically found in RIPs (e.g. converting colours to a preset output intent with highly configurable options [for pixel/vector elements, black and spot colour ink issues etc.] and flattening native transparency) could probably be implemented using the Adobe PDF Print Engine, but this seems a bit overkill and would probably require extensive programming from scratch. I suspect there should be a smarter way to use existing software – but which? I am not yet familiar with InDesign Server; does its SDK permit full access to the same parts/functions of the PDF library that Acrobat uses for its preflight and correction features?
Any help is welcome.
Eric

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

Import process hangs indefinately on JPG and AVI files

Hi,
I'm seeing a similar issue to some of the other posts.
My configuration is Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM and a Core i7. All the photos I want imported have been moved to the C drive.
When I try to import a folder with a couple of sub-folders containing a total of about 3000 JPG and AVI files (from a CANON 450D and Fuji Finepix 200EX), the import process hangs inderfinately, and I need to kill the process.
Only around 500 photos get imported.
One strange thing is that I am only able to preview a couple of the files in the preview grid. However when selecting to view a single file instead of the grid view I am able to view the file in question.
I have tried to import one file at a time (for a couple of the ones that fail that is) but the import process still hangs, even though I am able to view the file itself before import.
Have also tried only JPG files, same result.
Any ideas?
thanks

What happens if you try to copy these files to your iMac first? Your problem may not be that applications quit when opening but rather you're having problems simply accessing the disk.
If your external disk was formatted as NTFS by your Windows machine then your Mac will not be able to write back to the disk. Your applications may be attempting to save temporary or permanent files back to the disk. Verify this by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". Click the "More Info..." button. Under the Hardware section on the left, look for your drive. It's probably under ATA. Select your drive and look at the "File System". If it is formatted as NTFS, you can copy the files to your iMac, and use the Disk Utility to reformat the drive to a Mac or MS-DOS format.
This could also be a symptom of disk corruption. You can begin troubleshooting by using the Disk Utility found in /Applications/Utilities to verify/repair your disk. If Disk Utility finds problems but is unable to fix them, you can purchase third party tools such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to attempt to repair your disk.
Hope this helps! bill

Database creation process hangs

I am manually creating a database on Windows 2k3 server using Oracle 11 r2. Using the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database, the process hangs for hours.
I figured out and triedthe following:
1. I have attempted using the GUI tool more than once to create the database and each time it hangs.
2. Using the scripts have been created using the with configuration tool, I manually attemped to create database. -- I have attempted more than once.
3. The database creation process hangs while running the EXECRM.SQL file that is called by the CATPCNFG.SQL which is called by CATPROC.SQL which is called by CreateDBCatalog.sql
3. The EXECRM.SQL file hangs on the following statement EXECUTE DMBS_RMIN.INSTALL;
I'm not sure why the PL/SQL packag is hanging at this point. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila

I was able to create the databases prior to installing Enterprise Manager Grid control. I deleted the databases to re-create so they would be registered with Enterprise manager. Once I install Enterprise manager the creation process hung. I have also installed Essbase and Oracle/Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Suite on the server. I'm trying to do some research on these BI tools.
I'm tempted to uninstall Essbase and the Hyperion producst along with Enteprise Manager and start from scratch to test to see if I can create a database without these other products.

Process Hang

Hi,
I have a problem that I put on the back-burner a few months ago, but it has become more important again.
I have a daemon which maintains a multiplexing stream stack. Every once in a while when the daemon exits and tears down the stack (flushing the queues), I start seeing a number of other processes hanging. I can still interrupt out of them, but their tasks can't be completed.
For example, "sleep 1" would never return.
Forgive me for not being exact. I don't have my copy of the kernel source with me here, and I won't be able to get to it until next week.
I used the kernel debugger to find where in the kernel sleep's thread was hung, and I discovered that it was stuck on a mutex in a kernel function that allowed the process to go to sleep and be swapped out. The kernel should have awoken the mutex but never did. The mutex was contained in the process structure.
I'm wondering if this is a problem that would have been fixed in one of the patches on the Sun Support site, or if it is something stupid that I have done in my drivers. I thought it may have been a stray spl that I missed when converting them to perimiters (I used mutually exclusive inner perimiters), but that doesn't seem to be it.
Any help is appreciated. I'll try to supply more details if necessary.

If it runs for several hours before failing, it's handling a LOT of data. If freeing things after every iteration is going to goof the speed up too much don't do it. Right now, the GUESS is that if resources are never freed until the end, they become exhausted. Freeing every iteration may be the pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other, and hopefully a middle ground can be found.
If these files are routinely in the terabyte range, instead of freeing each segment, you could free each file. I'd be happy with a data structure that lasted a terabyte! Or if you're doing multiple directories, each directory. With the massive amount of data that you're processing, a subtle memory leak could be doing this.

RWB status 'delivering' and SQL process hangs

I am sending an IDOC to SQL Server thro XI using JDBC adapter. I am triggering a stored procedure to update SQL tables. The RWB status says 'delivering', sxmb_moni says 'successful' and all the steps are success in audit log. The status 'delivering' is not changing to sucessful.
When i look at SQL-server side, the process is in sleeping mode. I have verified the stored procedure and it was executed sucessfully. After the COMMIT TRAN, RETURN(0) statments, the process is going to 'sleeping' mode. The @@trancount is 2. If I double click the process, the sql statement is 'IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 COMMIT TRAN'. This process hangs at this step and it is not accepting the next message. If I kill the process, the stored procedure is executed once and its going to sleep mode and not returning the status to XI to make the flow complete or to change the status to successful.
Thanks.

HI Shankar ,
Its seems that there might be some problem in your srored procedure.Did u tried to use some other stored procedure.I assume that you have uploaded the right version of driver for SQL server you are using.Remember JDBC adapter is vendor and version dependent.
You can also look at the JDBC : FAQ at service market place.
Thanx & Regards

IPlanet 4.1 Web Server - ns-cron process hangs for log rotation

Does anybody know if there is a known issue with iPlanet 4.1 Web Server where the ns-cron log rotation process hangs up?
Basically it won't rotate any logs, and using either the "Stop" or "Restart" buttons in the console won't shut it down, so you have to kill it manually, then start it again.
It seems like it will run for a couple days fine, then it will hang up.
Thanks.

Nope, I've not seen this before. But 4.1 version is really old and no longer supported, you should consider upgrading to a supported version.

There is no specific method to find out the empty pages.
If you are using itext,
you have to get the page content using the following way:
RandomAccessFileOrArray rafoa = null;
PdfReader pr = null;
String str = new String();
String strt[] = new String[10];
String fin = new String();
pr = new PdfReader("sample.pdf");
byte[] b = null;
b = pr.getPageContent(1, rafoa);
str = new String(b);
str = str.replace("\n","");
strt = str.split("Tf");
strt = strt[1].split("Tj");
fin = strt[0];
fin = fin.replace("(","");
fin = fin.replace(")","");
Here, check the value of the fin is empty or null, if it is empty/null, then
b = pr.getPageContent(1, rafoa);Page No: 1 is empty/blank

When exporting many videos with Lightroom 5, the process hangs randomly and needs to be restarted.

When exporting few videos, the process hangs randomly. The processor performance is 0 % and the lightroom says it is working (actually it is not). I have to quit lightroom, kill all processes like amecommand.exe, Adobe Media Core, Adobe Dynamic Link Manager and restart the process. It stops randomly.
I am exporting ALL-I videos from Canon 5D mark III, into H264, high quality.
PS: The same situation was with Lightroom 4.

Hello,
i have the same problem on LR5.5 on Win 7 (8G RAM)
Thank you for any help.
