PDF Specification Version

Hi,
According to the documentation, BI Publisher (v. 10.1.3.2) supports Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (PDF specification version 1.4). I suppose this means that the pdf documents used as templates must be of a version no newer than 1.4.
We consider using Adobe LiveCycle Designer for creating the pdf templates, so I would like to know the release plans for supporting newer versions of pdf.
Thanks in advance.

Are the PDFs just images, or are they text? I know the pages you are scanning look like text to you, but that doesn't mean the files you end up with contain text - they may just be "photographs" of the pages. You can check this by selecting the text cursor in Adobe Reader and trying to select a few words. If you can't do that, you just have an image.
If all you have are images, just save them as images in PNG format - PDF isn't getting you anything.

  • Preview PDF Specification Support

    I am a developer working on a PDF writing tool for a different platform and am having some compatibility troubles with PDFs generated by the tool and read in Preview.app. They function correctly in other PDF readers, but not in Preview. Specifically, I've been unable to get PDF Actions and ObjStm objects to render (The exact same PDF renders fine in other readers).
    Does anyone know what version of the PDF specification Preview.app (or the OS X PDF libraries) supports? Is there support for ObjStm or PDF actions in the OS X PDF libs?
    I wasn't sure if this is the right place to ask, since this is a dev question. I figured since it's not related to OS X development, I'd try here first though.
    Thanks!

    The best place for dev questions is probably the dev forums:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=727
    I understand the OS X pdf function does 1.3 normally and 1.4 if there is transparency.
    In my experience Preview is definitely not a complete substitute for Adobe Reader.

  • When I make a Book in Aperture and print a PDF proof version, all the modified photos (marked with Badges) are totally distorted.  What is causing this? All other - non-modified photos - appear to be fine.

    When I make a Book using Aperture 3 and print a PDF proof version, all images that have been modified within Aperture are distorted in PDF form.  All other images appear ok.

    As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
    So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
    . Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
    Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
    Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
    We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
    We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
    Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
    Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
    If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

  • How can I convert a version 9 PDF to version 10 or 11?

    My scanner is a couple years old and it scanned it to version 9. The government website I'm trying to upload to is terrible and won't accept version 9 or earlier. I don't understand why; it's all PDF. Adobe Reader 11 can open version 9 so why can't theirs? How can I convert my PDF to version 10 or 11? I looked at pdfconverter, but it's free only for files <512 kb and mine is 1 MB. I'm certainly not paying $69 to convert one file.

    https://bsaefiling1.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegSubmitServlet
    "Please correct the errors before resubmitting the form:
    Error: problem in processing the uploaded form.Please check a valid pdf form is attached"
    They can't even put a space between sentences so how can they accept a PDF????
    It waits about a second and then gives me an error.
    They have a PDF form to fill out, but then it says to sign and attach it so I assume that means to scan it. It says "Click the above button to access the submission page in order to electronically file your completed Individual FBAR. Enter your email address, first name, last  name and phone number and then browse on your computer to locate the individual FBAR you have completed. Once attached, you can file your FBAR electronically by clicking submit, at which time you should receive an email notification of acceptance." The bolded section must mean that I have to scan it. We're dealing with the government here, so not much makes sense.

  • How can you ignore one specific version of a package when upgrading?

    Hi all,
    Due to a rather nasty bug in mplayer, the current version in the Arch repositories is unusable for me.  I am currently running the previous version without any problems, but every time I try to upgrade, pacman wants to reinstall this broken version.
    I don't want to list mplayer in the IgnorePkgs option, because then I won't get any new versions.  Since the bug has long been fixed, the next Arch version should work fine - it's just the current Arch version (35014) that is broken and I want to ignore.
    Is there some way I can blacklist this specific version of the package, so although it won't ever be installed, any newer version will?
    I tried adding "mplayer-35014" and "mplayer-35014-1" to IgnorePkgs but it didn't work.
    Any suggestions?

    Hmm, I hadn't thought of that.  I didn't actually build a package from it, because I didn't know where the problem was.  So I just compiled a bunch of things the old fashioned way and ran them without installing anything until I had narrowed down the problem.  But I'm sure there's an mplayer-svn in AUR I could use - good idea.

  • How to choose a specific version and detect the same specific version?

    I've found the following link in other posts about choosing versions programmatically:
    http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/versions.html
    Well, I'm not quite sure how to use that classid for "static versioning". I mean, if I need to use 1.3.1_08 but not others (not even 1.3.1_07 or 1.3.1_09, but only 1.3.1_08), what classid should I use?
    That page doesn't teach us what syntax we're supposed to use!
    On the other hand, my webapp needs to detect what JRE is installed and would suggest what to do in case the specific version can't be found in client computer. What should I do?
    Thirdly, I've noticed that the order of installing versions is important. Let's say there're two versions in a computer, V1 and V2, while what I need is V1. Depending on V1 or V2 is the final installed one, my detection might or might not work. Someone knows what to do?
    TIA

  • Function Module to get ABAP source code for a specific version

    Hi all
    Is there a function module that I can use to get the source code of another function module at a specific version?
    For example, can I call a function module passing in "FM_NAME" and "FM_VERSION" and have it return the lines of code associated with that object?
    Thanks in advance.
    Stuart

    Thanks guys
    That's incredibly helpful! I have one more question that I just thought of last night...
    Is there a way to hook into the code activation process? I want to be able to take a snapshot of the ABAP source code at each point when it is activated for use in another system, but need to be able to intercept this event and get the source code at that point in time.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Reading adobe acrobat 8 standard with adobe acrobat 7.....I have to submit a CD of a paper presentation to a state DOT and they have requested that "the electronic copy should be in a .pdf format, version 7.0".

    My files need to be saved to pdf today, and I am concerned that my Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard files may not be readable to someone who says they want the files saved in "pdf. format, version 7.0"......is that a misconception on their part, or do I need to do anything different?  If I install version 7, it will probably overwrite my version 8, correct?
    I appreciate any feedback to resolve any doubt of readability for the potential client.
    Thanks,  cdd

  • Incorrect parsing of Library Specification-Version

    Hello,
    I'm encountering an error while trying to deploy libraries. The config.xml specifies [email protected] The MANIFEST in the library jar file specifies Specification-Version: 1.0 and Implementation-Version: 1.0. The server log is reporting a conflict, stating "Specification-Version: 1". It appears that if the Specification-Version ends in "0", the parsing is dropping ".0". However, the console reports that the library is deployed. Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Sorry. I re-deployed from the console and that seemed to clear it up.
    I don't have the previous log file. The message said the LibSpecVersion = 1.0 (I assume this is from the config.xml) and Specification-Version = 1 (from the MANIFEST). Not sure why a re-deploy fixed it. The one additional element added to the library was: <module-type xsi:nil="true"></module-type>. The name with spec and implementation stayed the same.

  • Invoking a specific version of java over the internet

    According to [this page|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html], the applet tag should be used if the web page is accessed through the internet and object or embed ought to be used if it's through an intranet. Why?
    Later, that article says that if you want to invoke a specific version of Java that you can do so with either of the intranet tags (using a specific classid for the object tag or a specific type for the embed tag), but doesn't say anything about doing it with the applet tag, making be conclude that, with the applet tag, it's not possible.

    You said "I will not try to guess what that doc. meant." That doesn't necessarily mean that there are others who can't. Maybe there are people who post on forums.sun.com that don't post on comp.lang.java.programmer? If anyone there knew, it seems like they would have responded?
    The <https://jdk6.dev.java.net/deployment_advice.html> link... I dunno... it didn't seem as comprehensive as the one my first post linked to. Doesn't discuss embed, for instance, nor does it mention anything about intranet's vs. internet's. Maybe Sun decided between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 that the whole internet / intranet distinction was pointless, but if so, that'd be nice to know.
    Besides, sometimes hearing people explain it in different ways helps. Whether or not it'd help here is something I can't say until I've heard other explanations (if there are any to be had).
    (I'm yawnmoth, btw - I was logged out when I tried to make this post so I tried to login with 'yawnmoth' as my username and it asked me for a new username? maybe my 'yawnmoth' username is actually my email address?)

  • Permanent link to specific version of a document

    When ‘Sharing’ documents is it possible to issue (say for emailing to someone) a permanent link to the document i.e. one which is locked to the version and not one that changes or fails if a new version is subsequently added?
    There appears to be two groups of document links in SharePoint, the current version and previous versions.
    The current document version is referenced by a canonical path:
    http://site/document library/document.doc 
    A prior document version is referenced from a revision path. But this only works for non-current versions:
    http://site/_vti_history/versionID/document.doc  (Where versionID is generated by SharePoint)
    Therefore every time a new document revision is created the contents of the canonical path will change. The canonical path will point to the new document version while the previous version of the document is only available with the revision path.
    Therefore it is not possible to create a permanent link to a version of the document if at the time of issuing it is the current version.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a permanent link to specific version of a document.
    If a new version is created, the contents of the canonical path will change. Although the version number will increase, the previous version number will not change.
    If you want version 1.0, then the URL for this version will always be
    http://site/_vti_history/512/document.doc.
