PDF to FlashPaper - disappearing commas

I am trying to convert PDFs using the FlashPaper printer
utility on a Mac. The files are printing successfully, and the
overall text quality is okay, but all of the commas are
disappearing. Does anyone know how to prevent this? I've tried
converting PDFs of various sizes, some with their file sizes
reduced for the Web and others not, but the result is always the
same. Thanks!

I've had the same issue, under Windows 2000, Word 2000, and
FlashPaper2.
Printing out via the
print driver causes links to be duds. Previews the resulting
SWF in the FlashPaper application without saving it.
Converting to .SWF via Word's new "FlashPaper" menu lets them
work. Previews the resulting SWF in my browser, after saving it.
Hope this helps someone. Especially the devs.

  • PDF to FlashPaper Issues

    I have a couple of unresolved issues regarding the conversion
    of PDF to FlashPaper:
    1. Search function does not work ! FlashPaper is not able to
    search/find anything in the documents. I have tried many different
    ways of conversion (even printing the Original Indesign file
    directly to FlashPaper printer). Does not work...
    2. External links do not work as well they are no
    clickable...
    3. I have noticed that Adobe does not provide any feedback to
    this discussion group...they are selling FlashPaper, however it
    seems like the product is in it's early development stage ...
    what's up with that?! So many unanswered complaints from people are
    posted here...
    Thanks,

  • Help please - when I export as a PDF my banners disappear under the button image

    I have a number of images my indesign document that I have changed to buttons. I have placed small banners on the top of the image buttons (on a layer above the buttons) But when I export as a PDF my banners disappear under the button image! Can any one help me.

    We are here to help, not to do your duty in your place.
    Nobody gave me orders since more than 30 years, that will not change now
    You will quickly understand that I write when I want, the way I want.
    More, as far as I know, your question got an accurate answer.

  • PDF to FlashPaper Text is now Poor Quality

    I recently had to uninstall and reinstall FlashPaper 2. When
    I go try print any PDF to FlashPaper, the text resolution is now
    horrible. Any ideas? I'm using Adobe Reader 8 at the moment.
    Thanks

    Okay, figured out my problem. I was creating the PDF from an
    original Word document using FlashPaper's PDF creation tool. Bad
    move. Once I created the PDF using Acro Pro, everything was back to
    normal...

  • PDF Optimizer Causes Disappearing Lines in Maps

    I often have to optimize PDF maps created in ESRI ArcGIS to reduce the file size. This works great most of the time but some PDFs have lines that disappear every time I optimize, regardless of the settings.
    Some notes:
    - The same line will disappear even when all of the optimize options are turned off (i.e. it should be doing nothing to the document).
    - The layer that contains the line still shows up in the layer tab, but turning it on or off has no effect
    - Printing to PDF works fine, the line does NOT disappear (though the file size reduction isn't as great)
    - The line that usually disappears is ~425 miles long, though the map only covers a few miles of it
    - This happens on multiple computers, running the latest version of Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows XP.
    - This also happens on the same map regardless of which computer exports the map to PDF in the first place (even using different versions of PDF)
    - I can replicate the effect by manually deleting the tags from the document. As soon as I delete the tag, the line disappears (though the layer remains)
    This has been a very frustrating problem and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I have scoured the internet for similar problems, but could not find anything useful.

  • Exporting to PDF, images are disappearing...

    Hi,
    I've never experienced this before so hopefully somebody knows how to fix it. When I export my InDesign document to a PDF (print quality), some of my imagery disappears. I don't have any imported imagery, I'm talking about text, lines and color boxes (as in a bar graph). Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks! Scott
    PS. When viewing the PDF after exporting, the pages that pop up with missing imagery give me this message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    Do you have a reason to why it's not a good solution by chance? I actually found it to be a better way now that I've been forced to do it this way. One, it dropped down the size from like 3mb to 400k, yet it's still print quality. I've also noticed that all of my lines don't change in thickness. One thing I've always noticed about PDF's is that line thicknesses are always thicker in PDF's than in the original ID docs. For some reason once you export them as .eps and combine into a PDF, line thinckness stays true to it's original from ID. One worry I had was not being able to "seach" within the PDF built from .eps because I'm assuming fonts are outlined as art. But I tested it and it works. Highlighting text and copy/pasting works too. So from my perspective it's better. Did you see the screen shot in my previous reply? Here it is again. Notice many of my bars are missing withing the bar graph.

  • Custom PDF Page Size Disappears

    When I add custom PDF page sizes in the "Printing Preferences" dialog box, they disappear when I restart my computer and I have to create them all over again. 

    Custom page sizes are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms. Is this a local install of Acrobat?

  • PDF attachment, text disappearing once opened.

    Hi Experts, I have been working on a smartform conversion to PDF email. I have inserted a gui download after the conversion process to check the pdf conversion. When opening the pdf that was downloaded, the pdf is perfect. However, once the pdf is emailed out of SAP to the microsoft exchange server and I open it in Outlook, only one block of text is present and if I scroll the page the text disappears. Has anyone encountered this problem and/or can someone help me fix it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Converting visio to pdf, bullet points disappear

    I'm having issues converting a MS Visio document into a pdf.  In my document I have text boxes that use the standard bullets in MS Visio.  When I convert the file to pdf using the distiller or the converter icon, the bullets will 'disappear' from the list and enlarge and show up in random locations on the same page.  I'm using MS Visio 2003 and Adobe 7 (This also happens with Adobe 8).  Does anyone have suggestions or seen this issue before?
    Thanks!

    You are in the wrong forum.

  • V31 save as pdf tools option disappeared

    got upgraded to ff android 31 and saw that tools menu item 'save as pdf' had disappeared. manually downgraded to vn 30 and option was there. Therefore I presume disappearance was related to version upgrade - however I see no mention of this specific issue in firefox buglist or elsewhere

    thanks for your feedback, rob.
    imyself am just a normal user like you, so i cannot influence the process by which the release notes or other version specific documentation is created, but i will escalate your reply so that an employee from mozilla will take a look at it.

    I'm trying to build an application over Coldfusion that
    implements a conversion from a pdf into a Flashpaper document. The
    only way I had found to do that is using FlashpaperConnect.dll that
    comes with Contribute 3. My problem is that I need to run
    ColdFusion over Linux and Contribut does not have a Linux version.
    Question:
    Is there any library for linux with the same function of
    FlashpaperConnect.dll?
    Anybody know another way to implement this kind of conversion
    that could work in linux?
    Thanks,
    FerSantaFe

    After more research, it looks like in my FlashPaper (made
    from PDF files) the characters are shifted by a consistent amount.
    Using the Unicode character set (you can see a reference in
    Windows XP by going to the Start Menu, then
    Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map), in
    which each character is represented by a number, each character is
    shifted by this function:
    f(x) = 288 - x
    I made a custom search box which translates each character
    the user's looking for behind the scenes and uses the FlashPaper
    API to search for the new, shifted text:

    An amusing detail is that in trying to support
    case-insensitive searches, where if they type "cat" and it also
    finds "Cat", the following letters are treated as equivalent in
    searching:
    [=;
    Z=:
    Y=9
    X=8
    W=7
    V=6
    U=5
    T=4
    S=3
    R=2
    Q=1
    P=0
    N=.
    M=-
    B="

  • FDF(PDF) to Flashpaper

    I have an FDF/PDF with form fields. How can I convert to a
    flashpaper swf and write out to the formfields? I have flashpaper 2
    and used this code but nothing gets outputted to the swf.
    NAT_NAME is the form field name. The swf displays nicely on
    the page.
    Thanks

    I've had the same issue, under Windows 2000, Word 2000, and
    FlashPaper2.
    Printing out via the
    print driver causes links to be duds. Previews the resulting
    SWF in the FlashPaper application without saving it.
    Converting to .SWF via Word's new "FlashPaper" menu lets them
    work. Previews the resulting SWF in my browser, after saving it.
    Hope this helps someone. Especially the devs.

  • PDF vs Flashpaper

    I successfully created a report with the CF report builder.
    The format that I originally used in the <cfreport> tag was
    pdf, but I opted to switch to flashpaper after experiencing how
    long it takes to launch Acrobat. Nor do I like to see the window
    cluttered with all of the Actobat controls. Flashpaper is simpler
    and cleaner for this particular report application.
    The problem I am experiencing is that the report will show up
    in MS IE7 only if I use the pdf format. Mozilla and Opera browsers
    have no problem with the flashpaper format. Anyone have an answer
    to why IE does not handle it? Thanks!

    While Hot Fix 2 was supposed to fix the active controls of IE
    in 7.0.2, there are still instances where IE does not display flash
    correctly.
    Also, how are you pulling data into your report? Via a submit
    form? I do use CFREPORT when doing inventory reports, which we
    generate by filling out a form with all the info we want included
    on the report. Initially we used method=post which seemed to work
    for FireFox, but would not work for IE. So we switched and made
    method=get in the form. This worked for IE and we have used it ever
    since.
    So, how are you generating your reports? Simple database
    query? form submission? Also, have you installed the hot fix for
    7.0.2?

  • Pdf crop marks disappear!

    Hi, I am currently receiving pdf files of ads which will feature in a magazine. I'm using QXP to bring the mag together. When I import some of the pdfs some of the ads look like they are trimmed to the page size, but when I open the pdf the trim marks and bleed are there.
    Like I say this only happens on some of the ads, some do indeed come in with their trim and bleed intact. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Do I need to ask the advertisers to recreate their ads differently?

    .. did I mention InDesign can deal with up to PDF 1.7, includes live
    transparency, can output ICC profiles, OCG (Layers) and movies as well -
    hmmm

  • Why do my .pdf files keep disappearing

    This is the third time in a couple weekw this happened. I was actually scrolling through them looking for the .pdf file I wanted and they all vanished before my eyes.
