PDF's from AutoCAD with Excel tables

I have been trying to plot an excel spreadsheet within LT2009. I am using "Adobe PDF" driver, and end up with extra lines running vertically through the excel table (see column 9 in image below).
I am convinced that it is an Adobe driver issue as it doesn't happen with Autocad's dwg to pdf driver. And I would use the ACAD driver but it won't plot a true A3 size (large marging and cuts off my border)..
Using Autocad LT2009, Acrobat 9 Pro and MS Office 2010.
Would appreciate any insight.
Thanks
Holly

Good day,
Do you have Adobe Acrobat X Professional installed?  PDFMaker, the Adobe PDF icon you were referring to, will install into AutoCad 2008 and later with Acrobat X  Converting via PDFMaker should preserve your layers.

  • CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. IN ACROBAT 9?

    CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. USING ACROBAT 9, WAS USING ACROBAT 11 AND COULD PLOT TO PDF FROM AUTOCAD MENU, DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION WITH 9

    Newer versions of Acrobat's AutoCAD plug-in support newer versions of AutoCAD. Older versions of Acrobat have plug-ins that obviously don't support versions of AutoCAD newer than the Acrobat release. FYI, Acrobat 9 was released over seven years ago.

  • HOW TO CREATE PDF FILES FROM AUTOCAD 12

    I'M USING ACROBAT X TO CREATE PDF FILES FROM AUTOCAD 12 DRAWINGS.  THE PROGRAM RANDOMLY LEAVES OUT TEXT AND IMAGES.  IT ALSO STRUGGLES WITH TIFF, JPEG AND PDF IMAGE FILES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE AUTOCAD DRAWING.  THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ACROBAT.  I WAS HOPING THE UPGRADE TO  X WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM BUT IT HAS NOT.

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    hi there
    try the vi
    ..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.  Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well.  Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro.  The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF.  Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked.  It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

  • PDF created from AutoCAD will not print

    This one has me baffled.
    I'm working with AutoCAD 2009 and Adobe Acrobat 8.  I printed 3 layouts from AutoCAD to Acrobat as a C-size sheet.  I usually merge them into one multi-page file using Acrobat.  All 3 .PDFs were created with no errors and can be viewed on the screen.
    I went to print this 3 page file to an HP DesignJet 500.  The first 2 pages printed fine, but page 3 would not print.
    So I went to the original individual file for the missing page, opened it in Acrobat - it also would not print to the HP 500.  BUT - it WOULD print to my HP 2800 on an A-size (letter) sheet.
    All three pages came from the same AutoCAD file.  All 3 .PDFs were created using the same settings.  Individually, only the first 2 will print to the HP 500.
    I tired recreating the third file with a different file name.  Looks fine on the screen, yet when I try to print it, it does not get to the printer driver.
    Yes, I have re-booted my system.  No difference.  Rebooted again and recreated the document - no change.
    I figure there has to be some quirky character or entity in my AutoCAD layout that is tripping up the printer driver for the HP 500.  This is my first encounter with this kind of problem.  And yes, I do have the latest HP 500 driver installed and have created and printed 100s of AutoCAD drawings in this manner.
    BTW, I'm running WIndows XP Pro.

    Michael,
    I have about 19GB of free space on drive C: - your tip about "print as image" did permit the file to print to the HP 500.  This DesignJet is not a PS or PCL printer.
    I've never encountered this kind of problem before.  This particular AutoCAD layout has a fair amount (but not a lot) of text that would no doubt be converted to a raster image (as it is not a system font) when processed by Acrobat during .PDF creation.
    My drive D: has much more free space - is there a way of directing the printer driver to store its output to that drive?
    Thanks for the tip - at least I know what to do the next time I'm up against the clock trying to get the work out.

  • Issues Creating PDF's From AutoCAD

    My company is working on standardizing how our AutoCAD drawings are created from AutoCAD. In the past each AutoCAD drawing has been printed to PDF using a third party PDF printer such as DocuPrinter or BlueBeam PDF Revu.
    While those methods work, the PDF files that are created are very large, and they take a long time to produce. Our drawing packages consist of several hundred files and take a couple of hours to generate through those methods.
    I am trying to use Acrobat 8.0 Professional to streamline the process, as well as increase the PDF qaulity, reduce file size, and reduce time to completion.
    Acorbat seems to work great, but I have noticed the following issues. I was wondering if anyone else as seems and fixed these already.
    1.) While doing Batch conversion of files to PDF within AutoCAD using the batch Convert method, every layout in each the DWG file is converted to PDF. The PDFmaker does not seem to care about my AutoCAD settings which determine which layouts to plot. Is there a way around this?
    2.) Some content is missing on some drawings. On some drawings, lines and other conten is missing from the PDF. If I do a Print to Adobe PDF the content is present, but if I use the PDFmaker the content is missing.
    3.) Random colors. If I use the PDFmaker, some elements on particular drawings are coming out in Either Cyan Blue or Red on the PDFs. The items are black in the original DWG files.
    4. While doing a batch conversion, there is an option to save an XML file with all of your selections. You can reuse this XML file later. The XML file contains a setting that looks like you can specifiy which layouts to convert. Does anyone know the available options that can be used here?
    All of my testing has been performed using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and AutoCAD 2007. I have also tested using AutoCAD 2009, but noticed a considerable amount of other issues.

    Thanks for your interest Bill.
    I did just what you suggested. The file gets created, and when I open it in Distiller, the errors showed (log file) are the following:

    Jojojo was the name of the file created by AdobePDF printer. The word AFIANZADORA happens to be the first text word in my document. It seems it does nothing from the beginning. Can you tell me what's happening with this information ?
    And yes, I can print from any other windows application and a .pdf file is always created.

  • Cannot download PDF files from Internet with Safari.

    What must I do (after resetting Safari) to be able to coherently download PDF files from the Internet

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
