PDF Text Mapped to Private Use Area of Unicode Plane 16

I recently came across a pdf document in standard English where all the text was apparently mapped into the Private Use Area of Unicode Plane 16. Of course searching the text via typing something in the search box was impossible, as was copy/pasting the text.
Can anyone explain to me whether this is normal for certain kinds of pdf's and if so, why it is done?

A PDF file optionally contains a mapping to Unicode for each character
in a font. It may be that this particular PDF contains such a map,
with such a result. It would be odd, but perhaps a deliberate attempt
to make text extraction difficult, or perhaps a side effect of
something different.
Alternatively, in the absence of a map, Acrobat may have to guess.
Something may have led it to use this Unicode mapping.

  • When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

    When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

    Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
    Thanks,

  • IDOC to PDF and XML via EMail: using InputAttachment interface in mapping

    Hello Together,
    I am working on the following scenario:
    IDOC --> Transformation Nr. 1 IDOC-XML; Transformation Nr.2 XML- PDF --> Email with 2 Attachments XML and PDF.
    Till now Iu2019ve managed "IDOC to Email" with XML-Attachment. Therefore I used MailPackage and SwapBean. Unfortunately I didnu2019t see any possibility to send PDF attachment with MailPackage approach.
    Thatu2019s why I decided to change the scenario in this way to avoid using of MailPackage:
    u2022     first step: IDOC to FTP (2 XML files)
    u2022     second step: FTP (1. file = payload + 2. file= attachment) to Email with one XML-attachment
    It works without MailPackage, but I still need the PDF-attachment. In the moment I am trying to read the XML-attachment,  to transform XML2PDF and to add the second attachment to the message inside of mapping . I use InputAttachment and OutputAttachment interfaces.
    http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/com/sap/aii/mapping/api/InputAttachments.html
    Unfortunately the reading of the XML-attachment with u201CInputAttachementu201D interface inside of mapping doesnu2019t work. Tracing says: "there is no attachment".
    So my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to work with Input- and OutputAttachement interfaces inside of mapping? Or does it work only inside of adapter module?
    2. If it works inside of mapping, how can I test it in design time?
    If you see any other way to solve my problem, let me know please.
    Thank you a lot, regards Anna

    Question Nr. 1:
    "... Mapping programs are executed in the Java part of SAP NetWeaver AS. Consequently, the mapping runtime transfers the message payload from the ABAP part of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server to the Java part before the mapping program is executed. Since mapping programs do not usually access any MIME attachments in a message, the default setting is for the mapping runtime to transfer the payload only and not the attachments. This applies for both attachments that are removed as part of MTOM optimization in the Web services runtime, as well as for attachments that a sender sends together with a payload by using proxy methods in the XI runtime.
    If you want to access an attachment from a mapping program, it must have been transferred from the ABAP part to the Java part prior to execution. You can configure this in the basic settings of the operation mapping in which you reference the mapping program (select the Read Attachments checkbox)..."

  • (Acrobat XI) Using Javascript to scan PDF text

    I am scanning text in a PDF and reading it into memory using doc::getPageNthWord().  Reading the text from the file using the mark 1 mod 0 eyeball looks like this:
    References

      sustainable tuna. www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/media-

    (Please note that I am unable to determine how the PDF is causing the indent.  I am using three spaces, but a hex editor...well read on, please).
    Using the above function (i.e getPageNthWord()) the information comes in like   this:

    seafood
    issue:
    • Ł Ł • • Ł Ł • • Ł Ł • • Ł Ł •

    Copying it to a text editor using the clipboard, it looks like this:
    "Wild seafood issue:"
    ", OOHJDO              AVKLQJ.
    Can anyone suggest a possible solution to getting the text in a readable format?
    TIA!
    John

    I have some additional information.  When I copy the text to a programming editor I see the latter transformation.  When I compare the text, letter for letter, each letter in the cryptic version  has been reduced in value by 29 with a few exceptions; periods and forward slants do not seem to have been affected.  Additionally, the letters f and i, when placed together, are interpreted as a single letter with an ascii version of 195. 
    I have looked at possible XOR/OR bit fiddling conversions, but have not been able to figure out what is causing the transformation (or causing the transformation to fail).

  • Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf

    Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf ... text boxes with pics import and convert fine. Using Word 2013. Any ideas?
    I'm brand new to the forums, so sorry if I'm not asking correctly or asking something already covered.

    Hi Sara!
    Thanks for the response.
    I'm uploading a Word file to my Adobe PDF Packet Annual subscription. I'm running Windows 8.0. Normally I will create a document in MS Word 2013, save it into our dropbox and then when I need to send it to someone (printer in this case) I will log onto Adobe PDF and upload the file to convert. Once it's converted, I'll send the pdf to the client or printer. In this case I created a poster with our logo (in a text box), text, a star (in a text box) and a few solid colored rectangles. Everything converted beautifully - as usual - except the solid text boxes.
    I've used Adobe PDF Packet for a few years and have never seen this. Any ideas or other questions?
    thanks, Dave

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,
    Lox

  • Text Missing when using PDF Convert but OK when using print PDF

    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 in Wnidows 7 and Microsoft Publisher 2003.
    When I use the CONVERT command to create a PDF - it is missing all of the text on the master page.
    If I create the PDF with the PRINT command - everything is OK.
    PS: The same Publisher File on another computer using Acrobat Pro 8 works fine -  CONVERT or PRINT and no missing text
    I prefer to use convert because sometimes the PRINT command drops some of the hyperlinks.

    You're posting in the wrong forum, but you already know that...
    In any case, if you're running XP (you didn't supply any info about your environment, which is critical), there's a Microsoft HotFIX patch for PostScript printers such as Acrobat to fix the missing text problem. Do a Google for "Framemaker hotfix missing text" to locate the patch.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?
    Regards,

  • After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

    After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?
    I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

    Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

  • I have several pdf files in my computer which are organized in folders. I want to transfer them to IBooks (in my Ipad) and keep the folder structure I use in my computer. Is it possible to do it? Do I need any other app?

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...
