PDF's Missing!!

Hi,
I've not deleated any PDFs as I need them for university. I had a substantial amount built up over the year but I've realised that I have only a handful on my system now.....As I said, I havent deleated anything.
When I go and download a PDF that I'd initially had, from the same site, it downloads fine but the file name has a "-1" as a suffix. It opens fine. If I were to downlaod the same file again, it has a "-2" at the end of the file name again...and so on.
The fact that it puts a "-1" at the end of the name of a PDF which I cant even find the original off suggests that the system still knows that the original is on the computer....somewhere......
Any help?

If those "-1", "-2", etc suffixes are being added, that means that there is a file with the same name (without the suffix) in the same folder. You will not see the suffix just because there's a file somewhere else on the machine with the same name.
So, I'd ask how you are looking for these files, and where you're seeing the duplicates (the ones with the numbered suffixes)? Are you looking in your Downloads folder in the Finder? If you sort that folder by name, do you see the originals right above the duplicates?

Hello All,
I just figured this out--
I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
Works!
I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
Hope this helps....

I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Update!!!
I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
Thanks for this wonderful solution.

PDF Export: Missing Graphics

PDF Export: Missing Graphics Below is a section of code we are using to export a document as a PDF. The code will work 99% of the time, but occasionally we are getting the resulting PDF with some of the linked PDF components completely missing! The only way we have been able to reproduce this is (strangely) by continually opening and closing 'Windows Explorer' windows (We are using CS2 on XP), just as the process begins, until the final PDF is created. Our customer (who has hilighted the problem) would clearly not be doing this but we feel there is an issue here. (If the keyboard and mouse are left completely alone, the process is successful... 100% OF THE TIME!). The problem occurs both on site and at base, the linked PDF's are located on the LAN. The code snippet (with error checking taken out for brevity) is below: UIDRef pageUIDRef = PCSImageUtils::GetFirstPageUIDRef(); UIDList temp = ((UIDList)(pageUIDRef)); ErrorCode status = kFailure; do { // obtain command boss InterfacePtr<ICommand> pdfExportCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPDFExportCmdBoss)); // set export prefs InterfacePtr<IPDFExportPrefs> pdfExportPrefs(pdfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID()); InterfacePtr<IPDFExportPrefs> appExportPrefs((IPDFExportPrefs*)::QuerySessionPreferences(IID_IPDFEXPORTPREFS)); pdfExportPrefs->CopyPrefs(appExportPrefs); // set SysFileData PMString pmFilePath("C:\\Outputfile.PDF"); IDFile sysFilePath(pmFilePath); InterfacePtr<ISysFileData> trgSysFileData(pdfExportCmd, IID_ISYSFILEDATA); trgSysFileData->Set(sysFilePath); // set UI flags InterfacePtr<IUIFlagData> uiFlagData(pdfExportCmd, IID_IUIFLAGDATA); uiFlagData->Set(kSuppressUI); // set UIDList containing pages to output (item list of command) UIDList theList(temp); pdfExportCmd->SetItemList(theList); // set UIDRefs containing pages to output (IOutputPages) InterfacePtr<IOutputPages> outputPages(pdfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID()); outputPages->Clear(); IDataBase* db = theList.GetDataBase(); outputPages->SetMasterDataBase(db); int32 nProgressItems = theList.Length(); for (int32 index = 0 ; index < nProgressItems ; index++) { outputPages->AppendUIDRef(theList.GetRef(index)); } // set PDF document name (get name from IDocument) InterfacePtr<IDocument> doc ((IDocument*)db->QueryInstance(db->GetRootUID(), IID_IDOCUMENT)); PMString documentName; doc->GetName(documentName); outputPages->SetName(documentName); // finally process command status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(pdfExportCmd); } while(false); Thanks in advance. Dave Wilson.

Hi Dave,
It looks like a problem with unsafe threads inside command ...
Did you tried set some preferences from next ?
SetPDFExOmitPDF( kExportOmitPDFOFF )
SetPDFExOmitBitmapImages ( kExportOmitBitmapImagesOFF )
may be help you stabilize export process ...

Reader 9.0- Print PDF Option Missing In All Applications...

Due to a glitch, I had to delete and reinstall my printers; now the option to print to PDF is missing in my print options. I am currently using Reader 9.0. I tried repairing the installation, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no luck. I cannot find any information on how to fix this. Please help- this is a feature I use daily!

Thanks Mike, I guess that's why I couldn't find any fix for the problem. I must have downloaded a PDF printer at some point and forgotten about it... I'm surprised though that Adobe doesn't just include this feature as there are several good free options out there.

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them?

Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

Saving a report as a PDF file - missing bitmaps

Reports 6.0.8.11.3 - Oracle 8.0.5
I have reports that include graphic logos displayed into REPEATING FRAMES - they are stored into long raw fields, and the format specified for the frames in the reports is OLE2.
ALL IS OK AS LONG AS I PREVIEW AND PRINT THE REPORTS AS USUAL.
If I specify FORMAT=PDF and try to save a PDF file copy of those reports, they are perfect, but the logos are missing.
I tried to specify an IMAGE format for the repeating frames, but the problem persists and I get an "unsupported data type" error message.
Is there a workaround? Sadly, I must use the PDF format, so I ask Your help to know whether there is a way to include raster graphics into a PDF generated by Oracle Reports.
Thank You so much.

Hi Cesare,
From the on-line help, PDF Restrictions:
"OLE objects are ignored when generating PDF or HTML, but space is reserved for these objects in the output."
However, raster images are supported if they come from a file or the database. So, if you have actual image files, you can include them by reading them in from file. See the help topic on "image" for all the various options for including images in a report, dynamically or statically.
regards,
Stewart

PDF has missing text when created from FM 9

My Software:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3
FrameMaker 9.0p255
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.1
When generating a PDF document from FrameMaker, the PDF document has random missing text, including whole paragraphs, sentences and some text in tables. We have several FrameMaker books and they are all having the same issues. These books were fine when we last published updates within the last month and we have not made any changes to fonts.
When generating a PDF from FrameMaker, we always print the book to a postscript file first following these steps:
- Go to File > Print Book.
- Select the Adobe PDF printer.
- Select the Print to File option and specify a .ps filename.
- Select the Generate Acrobat Data option.
- Use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PS file to PDF.
Note that I also tried File > Save As PDF and got the same results.

Did you reboot after the hotfix? fwiw, other users on the forum have had difficulty with the hotfix not being installed correctly the first time around.
once you download the hotfix from MS you have to run the .exe, and then when it’s finished you have to reboot. Then check the Add or Remove programs in Control panel, and click the “show updates” button, then scroll way down to see the hotfixes, to be sure that #952909 is shown.
What fonts are you using in your documents? Specific type (PS, TT, OTF) and any other info you have (foundry, etc).
Do the "gaps" seem to occur when there are font changes in the document, e.g. when words in a sentence are bold or when a paragraph in a different weight (e.g. bold italic) follows, say, a "regular" text weight paragraph? As another test, can you highlight a segment of good+bad+good text in the PDF, do Control+c to copy it to the clipboard, then Control+v to paste it into a different file (Word, text editor, even another new FM document). Do the words of the "missing" text segments show up?
edit: the hotfix download process is a bit confusing; if I remember correctly it has to be requested, then MS sends a link to the download webpage, then the downloaded .exe has to be run.

Some pdf attachments missing in mail 5.2

I fail to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion). When the attachments do not arrive, I see no paperclip in the attachments column. On a recent occasion, a colleague sent me three consecutive emails, each with 1-2 pdf files attached. The middle one (containing one pdf), shows no attachment in Mail. However, I know the attachment is there, because if I open it on my iPhone, I see the attachment. What's more, if I forward the email to myself from the iPhone, I can now see the attachment again. This has happened several times in the past as well. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, failing to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion), and not being counted among the attachments
Two times where I'm aware it happened, the sender had replied and included the attachments I had sent in my original message, and I'm wondering if those attachments somehow led to their own attachments not displaying and not even being counted in the e-mail window. "3 Attachments, 317 KB" displayed, but those were my three; clicking the "Save" drop-down menu listed only those 3 attachments of mine. In one case, I had them resend their attachments as a new e-mail, and that worked. Their 2 attachments totalled 941 KB, so Mail missed rather a lot by displaying just 317 KB.

Indesign export of PDFs - images in pdf fragmented, missing metadata

Can anyone help with this one?
We use InDesign CS3 to create PDF 1.6's, directly from InDesign export. The metadata contained in the images on the layout normally are visible in the PDF when you control click and select "show metadata" on the image with Acrobat's touch up object tools. Ocassionally, there is an unknown problem in the process where a given image will "fragment" -- when you click on it in the PDF, a frame surrounds only part of the image, and there's no "show metadata" choice to select. This is kiling us because we doconstruct those PDFs and put them into our long term archive, and the metadata is missing there!
Anyone know of any reason InDesign export would give such results?
Any help would be appreicated!
Thanks.

Thanks Bob,
We're just reviewing detailed data now, so it's unclear whether we have any cases where it's a placed PDF (most are tiffs, psds, etc). Good point - if the pdf within is a 1.3 that would be a problem. . .same too with a placed ID file, though I know for sure we're not doing that. I'll post what we find.
We are ok with regard to version patches. But, Bob, do you by chance know of any specific bugfixes (i haven't read the release notes) that address this? that would help to know too, so as to rule out some times in the past before the patch was applied where the problem occured.
Meanwhile David W. Goodrich's reminder of adobe technote 332920 if i read it right, suggests non raster images would fail to pass metadta, at least in CS2, i wonder if that applies to cs3 too. . .

InDesign CS6 Export to PDF has missing objects

When exporting to PDF, I have a 6-page document that has missing objects from the master.
Here's the document with the content removed:
lab.cyke.net/pdf/MissingObjects.pdf
The first and last pages were constructed correctly. All pages in between are screwed up. Any ideas?

@Jongware – I have a case with InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 where master pages based on each other lead to false representation of page objects.
Not only in pdf export, but also on the actual InDesign pages. Made an IDML from it, opened that in InDesign CS4 and the error was gone.
This problem is documented at the German-Swiss forum "HilfDirSelbst" at:
http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=496285#496285
Some screen grabs together with the IDML are attached there.
After opening the IDML from InDesign CS4 with the error gone, I exported another IDML from CS4, opened that in InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 and the error was present.
To detect the error look at pages 1* and 4 of the mentioned screen grabs.
Uwe
//EDIT: *the screen grab of the pages palette of InDesign CS5.5 shows the error on page 4 only. The error is present outside of page 1 as well, but cannot show on the screen grab.

Using Create PDF from Web Page; Resulting PDF is missing text

Trying to create pdf's from various web pages. Generally process works very well but some pages have missing text and bad formatting. Specifically; http://www.robinhood.ca/Recipes/Occasions/Spring/Apricot-Tartlets
When I create the PDF; I am missing the text under "directions" and the description is truncated and forced to the far right.
Seems like I am missing a formatting or font setting but I have adjusted everything I can think of and have had no luck.
Running Acrobat Pro XI.
Anybody have any thoughts?

yes; looking at the source; seems that <table> is being captured correctly but the part that is missing is a <div>. I'm not an expert at deciphering the page source but seems like that is the problem.
Is there a work around?
when I print via the firefox plugin it prints fine. but i ultimately want to capture several layers on the site if I can get the formatting resolved.

PDF has missing 'o' from printouts

I'm running MAC OS X 10.6.8 and when I print from PREVIEW Version 5.0.3 (504.1), my lower case "o"s do not print. They do however print from ADOBE. I've updated my printer driver; firmware; checked and fixed fonts in the font book. The problem still exists. The problem happens on 2 separate computers at 2 separate locations on 2 separate HP printers (the common denominator is the version of PREVIEW).
thank you.
