PDF to what?

Hi There,
I've got a PDF that looks pretty good. I'd like to include it on a webpage, but that doesn't work.
I've tried to convert to both PNG and JPEG, but there's a lot of loss. Text is pretty much unreadable.
What should I do? Any ideas?
Thanks,
CS

Hello Crellin,
some time ago I made for me this "prime" example: http://hansgd.de/DWTest/pdf/adob_pdf.php. Instead of a textual explanation you can also use a(some) small image(s), especially if you have more pdf files which you want to link for.
A newer instruction you wil find here:

Good luck!

P.S.
You have to conduct the link to the Adobe Reader to an English-language page of yourself, unfortunately. Mine always shows to the German website: http://get.adobe.com/de/reader/. I can't delete it.

Can't seem to download my pdf. What's going on?

Printed to adobe but it's not letting me download my pdf. What's wrong?

Hi Sherap,
Please let me know your workflow. Are you printing your file to PDF using Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer? Or are you using CreatePDF service at https://createpdf.acrobat.com/app.html then try to download the PDF file?
thank you.

On opening some pdfs in new tab, get a box labeled Adobe Acrobat with a ? in it. Right click on the link gets the pdf. What does the box and ? mean. Running W7, FF 10.0.2, Adobe Standard 9. Thanks

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

Downloaded free trial and want to make a pdf. what do i need to do?

I downloaded iX reader today. I want to make a PDF. What do I need to do? Software keeps saying "not responding".

Adobe Reader cannot create PDF or "edit"/touchup PDF.
To create PDF or manipulate PDF you must purchase and install Acrobat.
If that is not feasible you can subscribe to the appropriate Adobe online service.

When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

Hi mjmonck-
Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
Hope this helps.

Displaying image in pdf format - what is this image format?

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to embed an image in a pdf report that gets generated in BIP. The image is passed as a byte array from an external application , that BIP should recieve as a parameter and display it. The byte array looks very similar to the image that rtf generates when an image is pasted in it and the default xsl-fo template and style-sheet is created usign the BIP Word Plugin.
The issue that I am facing is that, the byte-code is not getting displayed as an image in the pdf.
When I pasted the image for the corresponding byte code in an rtf and generated the default xslfo file that BIP plugin generates, I am getting a different set of charecters than what is being send to BIP as parameter.
I have read about CLOB and BLOB being queried from database using sql and displayed as image.
I would like to know what exactly is the BIP Plugin converting the image to , when I paste it in an rtf and convert it to xsl-fo style sheet.
If I have not made my query very clear and you are still confused about what I am talking about , please try this out in an rtf template.
1) Open blank rtf template
2) Paste any tiff or jpg image in your rtf template and save it.
3) Goto Addin --> Tools --> Export --> Click on FO Formated XML or XSL FO Style sheet in the Menu
4) An xml document will be opened in your default browser.
5) Scroll down to the section with the tag " <fo:instream-foreign-object"
6) Will see a big charecter set, which I believe is some form of representation of the image pasted in the rtf.
               <fo:block>
                         <fo:instream-foreign-object
                         content-type="image/png"
                         width="163.5375pt"
                         height="53.07pt"
                         xdofo:alt="An Image"
                         xdofo:image-uid="fbasadsadaferehgffhghd1dvcxab9">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$Logo3"/>
                         </fo:instream-foreign-object>
               </fo:block>
WHERE $Logo3 is declared as parameter and
= /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEAYABgAAD/7Q0YUGhvdG9zaG9wIDMuMAA4QklNA+0KUmVz b2x1dGlvbgAAAAAQAGAAAAABAAEAYAAAAAEAAThCSU0EDRhGWCBHbG9iYWwgTGln aHRpbmcgQW5nbGUAAAAABAAAAHg4QklNBBkSRlggR2xvYmFsIEFsdGl0dWRlAAAA ................................................goes on!!! [ 200000+ charecters]
I would like to know what this image type is? Is this a byte array?
If any one has had this and successfully taclkled this sort of requirement please help!!!
Any pointers, explanations in this regard would be really helpful
Thanks in advance

Need guidance - Creating PDF navigation: What do I need?

Hi,
I could really use some guidance. I often create single page PDF documents using Illustrator (and have someone in the office combine a few with distiller when multiple page docs are needed).
I now need to create a 10 page PDF that I would like to include navigation within (title page has logos that jump to specific pages inside the PDF).
Questions:
Best way to do this? (I don't believe I can do within Illustrator)
What software do I need? $449 for Acrobat X Pro is rough. Can Adobe X Standard to this, or an older verson? I can't find a comparison chart between the two.
Any general suggestions and tips would be GREAT. I'm on a deadline, and swimming upstream.
Thanks,
Lands

My scanner keeps scanning in jpeg instead of pdf. What do I need to do?

When I go to scan documents my scanner has started to scan as jpegs instead of pdf. I've tried several times to switch it back to pdf. It works while I finish my scans but the next time I go to scan more documents it goes back to jpeg. Where do I go and what do I check or uncheck to keep it scanning as pdf?

Hi,
Select scan DOCUMENT rather than PHOTO, it will scan af pdf file(s). My suggestion: scan from printer software (on your computer) will give your more choices.
Regards.

Saving as a PDF-saves what's outside the workspace

I'm using Illustrator CS....that might be my first problem haha. Anyway, when I try to save a .pdf version of my file, it ALWAYS saves including whatever is OUTSIDE the workspace area....Like instead of saving, say, the 8.5x11" document that I worked in, if I have something hanging outside of that space, it saves like a 12x11" document instead.
Is there any way to get the .pdf to be ONLY what is inside the workspace? I have some things that have to be hanging out over the edges...so I can't just move it all inside the workspace.
Thanks for any help!

In Get PDF properties what determines a PDF document

I am using the getPDFProperties module to check if the submitted document is PDF. I have checked the "Is a PDF Document" option and assigned to the respective variable.
When the PDF is submitted that module returns "false" for that property. I want to know what characteristics should the file have to qualify as a PDF ?
Many Thanks !
Aditya

It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements.

Generating a PDF of what the user sees, and sending it as a binary stream to the server

Hi All,
On the final page of our Flex app, we allow the user to print out a copy of everything they've entered for their own records.
I'm wondering if there is a way for me, programmatically, to generate a PDF document that is the same as their printout (I pass a particular container to the "print" button I've got for the user), and send those bytes back to the server. We can store this PDF along with all the rest of their data, and it would be useful as a "snapshot" of exactly what the user saw when they submitted their application.
I'm looking into Flex PDF generation, but so far haven't gotten this figured out. I thought some folks here might be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Here is how you can take a snapshot.
import mx.graphics.ImageSnapshot;
import mx.graphics.codec.IImageEncoder;
import mx.graphics.codec.PNGEncoder;
import mx.utils.Base64Encoder;
private function uploadImage(rSource:IBitmapDrawable):void
                    var tBitmapData:BitmapData = ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(rSource);
                    var tEnc:IImageEncoder = new PNGEncoder();
                    var tBA:ByteArray = tEnc.encode(tBitmapData);
                    var tB64:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
                    tB64.encodeBytes(tBA);
                    // send tB64.toString() using POST to the server to save the image.
// call
uploadImage(this) // where parameter is an object to get the snapshot of. Can be anything including Application. ("this" in my case).

Preview can't read pdf file - what gives?

Hello,
I have just upgraded to the latest version of Mountain Lion. In the past, I used Adobe Reader to open pdf files, but my understanding is that Preview should be able to handle this task. For most pdf files, this is indeed the case. However, I have this one file that is a form (which has fileds that can be completed by typing into them and then can be printed) which apparently cannot be handled by Preview. I get the error mesage "
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer.....
What can I do about this? Am I missing some plugin or something?
I'm running this on an iMac with a 2.5HHz core i5 and 12GB of memory. OS 10.8.5
Any ideas?

Arthur,
Actually, it's a bit complicated. Adobe Reader on my work PC can open it fine (no, the fileds have not been populated - it's an empty form). However, AR 10 or 11 for Mac crash om my iMac under Mountain Lion, so I actually don't know if AR can open it on the Mac. I have another iMac that runs OS 10.6.8 and Adobe reader v8.3 and that reader cannot open the form (looks like it's not current enough). What I haven't tried yet is loading AR 11 on my Snow Leopard iMAc because I worry about messig up an otherwise functioning situation...
I actually also tried iSkysoft PDF Editor, but it roo failed to open the file.

CS3 pdf export - what does this warning mean?

I'm exporting an InDesign file to pdf. It's 70+ pages of black and white, no colour, one page with four grayscale photos. The Summary section of the pdf export dialogue has a warning symbol, and says this: "1) The preset specifies source profiles that don't match the current color settings file. Profiles specified by the color settings file will be used." Can anyone explain what this means, and more importanly whether or not it might impede printing?

I do a lot of B&W print output from InDesign, with images imported from Photoshop. There is something you should be aware of for B&W if you are printing your documents professionally or in newsprint. Sometimes your printer will be able to take your PDF in any form and make it 'fit' their process, but I've found many can't, don't, or just won't go to the trouble. They leave that up to you.
In particular, what I've found is that when printing B&W at a printer, they may use a digital printer or they may use a 4-color press (almost always more expensive due to setup, etc.). However, the PDF you prepare for them will be different for each case. Some printers will tell you that for B&W you should only have data on the K channel (the black channel in the CMYK file - they ignore the other channels altogether). If you give them a PDF with rich blacks (which will look good on screen) that is made up of all four (CMYK) colors, then it is likely that your blacks in the final print will be more like a dark grey than true black. This is because they may only use the data on the K channel and put down black in in that quantity, which might be less than 100%. If you import your images from PS as greyscale, then they should import into InDesign as a CMYK image with 100% K and 0% CMY anywhere there is black in the image. When creating your PDF from InDesign, you have to be careful about your output options too. If you choose any preset where it "Converts to Destination", then your 0 0 0 100% black will be converted and reseparted to rich black, and if the printer only takes the K channel, it won't be 100% black. I always use the Separations View in Acrobat on any PDF to ensure that any data in my B&W file is truly just 100%K with 0% CMY. (Actually, it's not quite this simple. There are a lot more intricacies involved.)
In addition, if you are sending your B&W file to newsprint, on a page where they print all four colors, then you'll want to use Rich Black. If the page you will be printed on uses black ink only, then you'll want to use the K channel only. This all sounds very complex and confusing, and that's because it is. In addition, it changes every time you change your print provider because they all use different processes, presses, workflows, etc. The safest way is to ask your printer to provide you with a .joboptions file that you can use to create your PDF from InDesign. It will have all the settings you need for their setup (although you still may have to worry about your image profiles if they assume you've included them with the profile they will be expecting, either tagged or untagged).
I've been doing this for years and it's a struggle each and every time I change anything (paper, process, 4 color vs K only, printer, press). Once you have a printer and process figured out, and have created your own .joboptions file, it takes only seconds to create a proper PDF for the job. Until that point, it is a lot of heartache and headscratching. In addition, most people I talk to at the printers I've used just don't seem to be that knowledgeable about color management, even the graphic artists that work there.

Merging PDF's, what about settings?

I have a little "problem";
I shall make a 2 sided folder for printing, and I have selected the right resolution, color-settings, color-mode(CMYK) and color-profile according to the print-shops demand. I have made 2 PDF's, one for the front-side, and one for the back-side, with all the correct setting.
Then, my "problem" occures; what happens to the correct PDF-settings I selected, when I use Adobe Acrobat to merge the two PDF's into one PDF? Are my settings kept in the PDF-files, or what? I'm concerned about the settings for resolution, color-settings, color-mode(CMYK) and color-profile.

Thanks for your response. Could you please tell me is there any Adobe or adobe approved tool or software that I could make use of to retain Reader Extensions in my PDF after renaming of fields. Currently I am using Aspose PDF which allows me to rename fields and generates a new pdf once i rename it. But when i try to open it, it throws an error saying that "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact Author"and after that i am not able to edit and save data.

When I press Print (to pdf), nothing happens. what's wrong with my acrobat? I'm an experienced Adobe user. Today I installed the very latest Acrobat on my PC, and it won't create a pdf. What might be wrong?

My acrobat won't create a pdf. Any idea what's gone wrong?

You need to provide more information, including:
- Exact nature of the problem, including full error messages
- Version of Acrobat
- Version of your OS
- Other relevant information about how you're trying to create the PDF, such as the original file formats you've tried to convert

PDF to what?
