PDF WITH FRAME FIXED

how to create a frame fixed outer pdf document within which scroll through the pages of the catalog? I would like to insert the buttons in the windows. So I must not insert the buttons in all the page and reading is better. I use Indesign CC.

Thank you, Sheila.
Users are most likely to simply have Adobe Reader.
Sorry to be asking for so much help--it is rather maddening not to be able to download the trial and take a quick look for myself.
Are form fields defined directly within Frame, or is it necessary to hack the PDF? If within Frame, how is length of input defined--by number of characters? Or, as with LiveCycle Designer, can you "limit length to visible area"?
Thanks as always and in advance for the help.

Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause

I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
Initially I did the following:
ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
- In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
- Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
- Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
- Selected "Embed all fonts"
- Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

The common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
of this method for me?
>
There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
(http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
screenshots. Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
characters in PDFs.
In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
can use them but not embed them.)

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

Blue screen while printing to PDF with Adobe

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to produce PDF files. A few days ago, all of the sudden, each time I try to create a PDF with the virtual printer, I get a "Blue Screen Of Death" reporting some problem on the win32k.sys file.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional 32 bits and Adobe Acrobat 9.
Best regards.

Which version of AA9. There have been 7 updates or so. You might try a repair and then do any uninstalled updates (in order, they are not cummulative). The repair may resolve the issue or you may have run into some other bug that the updates might fix.

Possible to scan a document into Acrobat XPro,then replace part of that PDF with text or image file?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible first to scan a paper document into Acrobat X Pro, and then to replace a "pane" or box within that PDF with a text or image file?
Would it require SDK and Javascript?
Thanks,
Rick Weinhaus

CtDave and others:
Here's the problem in more detail.
I am a physician and I already have the ability to incorporate paper-based
documents into an electronic health record (EHR) by scanning them and
saving them as PDFs. The documents are paper patient encounter forms with
a different box or 'pane' for each category of data. Each box has a fixed
location on the paper form.
There are three situations, however, where I want to have the option to
overwrite certain boxes of the PDF with data generated by methods other
than scanning.
1) Insert text macros with variable fields using the electronic health
record's software.
2) Insert a drawing available as a pre-existing JPG or generated by using a
tablet.
3) Insert text generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
For efficient office workflow, in all three cases the text or image to be
inserted into the box or 'pane' in the PDF needs to be generated while I am
still seeing the patient -- that is -- before the paper form has been
scanned and converted to a PDF.
The sticky note tool is one option, but I would want to be able to modify
the default size of the sticky note so that it corresponded exactly to the
size of the box it was 'overwriting.' I can't figure out how to do this?
Could it be done using scripting?
Furthermore, I would want the sticky notes to automatically display when
the PDF was opened, so that a hover would close rather than open them. This
sticky note method would have the advantage of allowing the user to toggle
back and forth between inserted data and any original handwritten text.
Any thoughts?
Rick

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

Problems with Long Interactive PDFs with Extensive Interactivity via Buttons and Hyperlinks

I have inherited a project which requires the creation of large interactive pdfs with lots of buttons and hyperlinks. I am having continuing problems with buttons not working and long periods of wasted time as attempted exports fail.
Background:
The largest books range from 264 MB to 411 MB – (764 to 1024 pages). Per book, the maximum number of buttons on each page is 16, linking separate files (subsections) in the book via text anchors. The buttons are created using Master Pages which are set for each file (subsection) in the book. 50% to 60% of the pages in each file (subsection) will also be referenced as 2 hyperlinks. One is the source page hyperlink on each workflow and the second is a listing on the source page as a possible navigation path. I have created hyperlink destinations for each page which is used to generate the source and navigation hyperlinks. With 2 hyperlinks representing 50%-60% of the pages - that means the largest book contains a maximum of 1200 hyperlinks. Each file (subsection) also has it’s own separate TOC and the bookmarks that are created (optionally) during the TOC creation process.   As currenlty formatted, the book is primarily images of workflows which mean 50%-60% of the pages contain pdf images.
Several questions:
1. How do I get my buttons to work consistently? There is nothing worse than working hard and then ending up with faulty product. I have been thinking about combining all the files into 1 document per book. Then I could change the buttons to objects, add a hyperlink over each one and set them for a specific hyperlink destination. Can I do that if the buttons are on Master Pages? Can InDesign handle a document with 1024 pages?    I can't fix the problems in Acrobat later because it would mean 1024 fixes for just 1 button correction.
2. How do I stop InDesign from freezing when exporting these large pdfs? It seems to wait until the final steps to crash which sometimes means a 4-6 hour waste of time per export.
3. Are we making a mistake using pdfs as our workflow images? I'm not pleased with the quality of the images we have and wonder if we switched to another image format if this would improve the results.   Would it be worth the effort and relinking? I have been reading different information on what the preferred source image format is for InDesign. One article I found yesterday says using pdf images is a problem. Another site said the Photoshop, TIF and JPG are preferred but PDFs were also acceptable.
4. Do I need to propose scrapping InDesign as the source of the project? If so, what application can better meet my needs?

Those are the limitations you have to put up with.
Apple doesn't follow the PDF spec. It chooses which PDF features it will support.
As to the version number (v5 or v6 or the new multimedia features in v9), there is different support in different versions of Reader/Acrobat as the product has developed. You just need to post a message to downloaders that they need to view the file in Adobe Reader version X or above to get the best experience.
Other industry standards face the same problem: How can you add new feature like multimedia? You can't always be backwards compatible.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard. It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion. How can I fix this?

The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half. Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

I have learned that there may be an issue with upgrading to 7.0.7, selecting the "reboot later" option, and then trying to use Acrobat with 3D. The suggested procedure is to do the update and then select "reboot now" when asked. Upon rebooting your system, the correct plug-ins are copied into the running Acrobat directories and things should work properly. We will continue to investigate these types of issues with the updater, but I believe this procedure will help fix these types of problems.

Fonts not embedded in PDF -- how to fix?

I've been given a PDF that I need to place in an ID file (ID CS3).
Several fonts are not embedded in the PDF (Univers and Stone Informal) so Adobe MM fonts are being substituted, and I get error messages about the missing fonts when I place the PDF pages in my ID file.
I do happen to have all of the missing fonts, but loading them (and restarting Acrobat) didn't fix the problem. The PDF was created on Mac (according to the properties) so maybe my PC version of Acrobat isn't recognizing my fonts as being the same (font internal names or something being different?). When I try using Text Touch-Up, I'm told that, for example, the Stone Informal system font isn't available.
Is there any way to fix this problem? I have no way of getting the source files or another copy of the original PDF with fonts embedded.
FWIW, when I open one of the PDF pages in PS, PS does find my versions of the fonts and gives me no error messages. And I can see that the fonts are showing up correctly in the PS file.
But I'd rather not use a bitmap -- I want to use the original PDF if possible (if I can figure out how to embed my fonts in it).
The final product, BTW, will be a press-ready PDF of the ID file.
TIA,
Marlene

I've got Acrobat 8.
So if there's no way to embed fonts in the original PDF, I assume they also will not embed when I drop the PDF into my ID file and then create a new PDF of the ID file?
I guess my only viable option is to open the PDF in PS and save the pages as TIFFs, and drop those into ID. I really hate to do that -- too much tiny text that gets fuzzy.

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.
