PDF to RTF issue needs resolving

Hi all
I am using OS X 10.7.2 and have an issue converting scanned PDFs to RTF using Automator.  Now here's the issue:  When I scan text from my HP All-In-One C6180 and use HP scan I am ble to select this resulting PDF file and place it into my PDF to RTF Convertor made in Automator and I can easily pull out the text and then load it into Word for editing. Not a problem. However, if I use Preview or Image Capture to scan using the HP All-In-One the resulting file will open as a PDF without a problem but if I attempt to convert it to RTF I just end up with an empty file. I can't seem to put my finger on the problem.  Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers. 

Hi wasilh,
I'm sorry that you're experiencing trouble with ExportPDF. It sounds as though the ExportPDF service is timing out before it can process the entire file (which can happen when a file is complex, even if it's within the 100 MB file size limit).
Clear the browser cache and try converting again, or try using a different web browser. If that fails, you might want to give Acrobat a try.
Acrobat lets you save directly to Word format, so you might want to try a free 30-day trial to get this document converted. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sar

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

    HP Officejet Pro  8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
    The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
    specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
    unable to save the file to the specified location'.  It will save a regular PDF file
    or a  JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
    results in the above mentioned system error.
    This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
    The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
    loaded.

    Hello TrailsEnd,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
    First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.

    Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. 
    Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.

  • PDF and RTF output differences

    Hi All
    I'm having some issues when previewing labels in PDF and RTF output. I have created a RTF template that outputs labels - 5 address lines per label, 2 X 10 labels per page. Each label is contained in a table and each address line is contained in a table row.
    - When I preview the RTF output long address lines are not being truncated even though I uncheck the wrap option on the table cell properties.
    - When I preview the RTF output I can get 2x10 labels on the page (if no wrapping occurs) but when I preview in PDF I can only get 2x9 labels on the page. I have checked the font size of both the PDF and RTF outputs and they are the same size. It looks like the header and footer is taking up more space on the PDF version compared to the RTF version when I visually inspect the output but I cannot be sure.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve these issues?
    regards
    Brad

    Always its better to use different templates for individual output types as the template designed with perfection for pdf output type dosen't comply with rtf or any other type and vice versa.

  • Company Logo does not appear in Excel and HTML, but appears in PDF and RTF

    Hi,
    I have a RTF template with my Company Logo Embedded. When I run the report from Standard Request Submission, and I give the output type as Excel or HTML, I dont see the Logo on my report.
    When I give the output type as PDF or RTF, then I see the logo on my report.
    Is there anything special I need to do, to see the Logo in Excel or HTML ? Am i missing anything.
    I am using Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word 10.1.3.2.0
    I would really appreciate if you can pass your feedback.
    Thanks

  • Differences in .pdf and .rtf

    I'm trying to create a report that the output needs to be in a .pdf or in a .rtf, the user decides. I'm having with the .rtf because the output looks perfect in a .pdf but doesn't look the same in the .rtf output.
    Is this normally the way BI Pub works when using 1 template for both .pdf and .rtf output?
    Thanks!!

  • Issues not resolved after updating to latest SP BO 4.0

    Issues not resolved after updates to latest SP
    We initially installed BO 4.0 with SP4 FP3. After that updated the installation to SP6, SP7, SP8, SP9 and SP9 patch3. We skipped SP5 as it had no issues effecting the way we work.
    Now we discovered that most of the important issues for development like being able to modify merged dimensions by adding a dimension are not resolved, despite the updates which would have fixed the issue.
    Any ideas?
    Is it possible to install SP5 afterwards and then update again to the new SP10?

    You don't need to install SP5. Latest SP you have installed, will have all the fixes of SP5.
    You cannot install SP5 after installing SP9. There is no need to install aslo.

  • PO Output for Communication landscape PDF printing sideways issue

    Hi,
    I created a custom pdf template which uses the Standard Purchase Order Data Source (PO_STANDARD_PO) data definition. The requirement was to change the look of the standard po report and also to make it landscape. I was able to successfully create the pdf template and add fields from the data definition. The problem is, when the report prints, the header information all looks/prints fine but line information prints sideways. I cannot figure out what the problem is. When using the PO_STANDARD_PO data definition, can you only create a portrait custom pdf? Or maybe my grouping code is incorrect? Has anyone run into this?

    ICX was already checked.... The Issue got resolved when I select the check box "Can Change Forward-To" in the Setup --> purchasing --> Document type window for Standard Purchase Order.
    Thanks,

  • How to convert pdf to rtf format

    I am badly facing problem in exporting pdf to rtf please help me.

    Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.

  • LCD monitor display issue, need help

    I have a strange problem with my LCD display, it goes like this:
    When I first boot up the mac and the wallpaper appears on the display the image looks perfect, all the tones are right etc, but as the startup progresses, programs loading etc, the display changes suddenly, becomes too bright in the highs, too dark in the lows, and over-saturated in between. Its looks horrible.
    I have just discovered that I can correct the issue by going into system prefs, display, selecting the options tab (next to Display and Color) and turning overscan on, then back off, voila, all fixed.
    Looks great.
    Thing is I have to do this every time now that I start the computer, and Im wondering if anyone knows what causes this issue and if theres anything I can do as a more robust solution.
    The kicker is I have the same problem with a viewsonic LCD on my secondary machine (Powermac G5, Osx 10.4), right at the beginning of startup it looks great then suddenly all goes wrong, too dark/light over-saturated. Its as if the image has been blended with itself in multiply mode a la photoshop.
    And on my second machine there is no option for overscan so I cant use my quick fix.
    Is overscan a feature of the OS or the monitor?
    The worst part is I need these displays to work correctly because Im a graphic designer, I need my colors to look right so I can do my job, and while I could go buy a $1000 monitor its not possible atm, and Id kinda like to know why this problem occurs. So if I do buy a different I can be assured the problem wont rear its ugly head again. But I dont think the problme is the monitor. I think its something to do with the communication between the display and the computer.
    The monitor can display correctly, and does for a brief moment, then it all goes very wrong. Ive spoken to NEC and they werent much help but Ill be trying them again today too.
    But again, I thinks its the computer, not the monitors as I can reproduce the issue swapping out monitors.
    I hope Ive described it adequately,
    Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming, this is very frustrating and is causing me endless headaches.

    Mattdp,
    I am currently having the same problem with my 20" cinema display. Did you ever find a long term solution? Apple states that the PowerMac G5 is legacy with no support available, and suggested a reset the PRAM. I did so to no avail. I too have 10.4.11 and thus no "overscan" to turn off. This is my wife's primary computer for her photography business, and the color issue needs to be resolved as quickly as I can find the answer.
    Is there a possible solution through the terminal?

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
    Has this issue been resolved?
    CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
    Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A follow up to the above.
    There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
    C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
    For those of you who may have this situation.
    Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):
    Bridge CS6 won't open running on Win7

    How? 

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?

    Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?
    I am patiently waiting for some word on whether I can go ahead a install the new version of Muse CC (2014) software on my systems without running into the quagmire that so many are experiencing.  I simply can't afford to run the risk that I will be stuck with a "trial version" for the next 30 days without some assurance from Adobe that they will be able to solve the problems in that time frame. It would be nice if adobe would send out an email that explains the situation to all of it's users so we know what's going on and when the issue is resolved. Collectively we all pay a lot money for these "updates", so I don't think it's to much to ask.
    Kind Regards,
    wrgould
    PS: Please reference this forum discussion - Muse CC 2014 wants Serial Number, though i pay monthly for muse

  • Customer unable to view my pdf everybody else can. need an answer urgently as he is a dept manager

    I created an pdf form in Adobe9.  everybody can view it except one of my clients users.
    SEE attached image.
    address http://www.financialcounsellors.org
    select FORM from menu, then the Hugs Application form. I even made it backwards compatable to version 6.  Every body can still see it except this one guy.
    He works in a large office enviroment with a big IT section  but on his office computer he is unable to open the pdf file. I have just spoken with him and he tells me of all the pdf's on the forms page he can only open ONE (the water assist pdf)   he just happens to be the area manager so it pretty important I get this problem solved.
    I sugested he upgrade to Adobe reader 9  but that did not work for him.
    Thats about as much history on this matter I can think of.
    The big question is, given the facts above WHY IS HE UNABLE TO OPEN THE PDF ?
    very urgent need to solve this problem yesterday.
    TIA

    Bill
    This is the response I got from the client;
    " The pdf file (Abode Acrobat) opens in Adobe Reader"
    I will alter the backward compatability fron v6 to v7 to see if that will make a differance.
    You said;
    If he has Acrobat, adding Reader 9 is not a good idea and is not recommended.     (but it opens in Reader automatically)
    It looks a though his IT have put Acrobat and reader on his computer.
    How do I go back and  embedding ALL of the fonts , I'm new to this and dont  know
    where to find the function that will do that ?
    Just spoken to client again for more clarity and it appears that when they select the LINK on the menu bar they get the error message
    and yet earler they advised the pdf file would not open.
    Have just spoken with client again a few min ago  They are running internet Explorer 6  ( It seems we are moving off topic )  would that cause a problem with IE6 not recognising an Acrobat 9 pdf link and it throws back the error message ? I'm running IE7 in winxp
