PDF Woe.

Hello I'm currently adapting an invoicing system that has
been written in ColdFusion. (which I had never touched until
yesterday)
I need to add the facility to export the invoice to pdf.
When I add
<cfdocument format="pdf">
To the top of the document. It all renders perfectly except
for one section. Which just doesn't appear. Which incidentally is
the only part I wrote. Which is perfect HTML/CSS. The other parts
of the document which were exported from word (*shudder*) Render
fine.
When I chop out my section that I wrote into a new document
...its still renders as blank.
Here is the section chopped out.
Thank you in advance for taking time to read my message.
-Robin Card

Well, I saw a couple things wrong which didn't make any
difference though...
- No <html> starting tag
- double pound signs in the stylesheet (##)
But I can tell you that removing the stylesheet altogether
lets it print so something is going on with the style support.
Someone else here may have an idea.

PDF created with InDesign CS6, Helvetica Neue font, causes lower-case "r's" to be bold

The pdf was created from InDesign CS6 using Windows 7. I cannot recreate the problem on my machine, but it is happening on a coworker's machine. The only character affected is the lower-case r. It appears bold when viewing the pdf of his machine. I am also running Windows 7 and it looks fine to me. My boss is using a Mac and it also looks fine to her. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

Hmm...until it's isolated to the 'r' it surely sounds like the typical effect often caused by the "Enhance Thin Lines" preference setting in Acrobat/Reader/browser-x-plugin, which most commonly affects l's and i's.
It's also true that various servings of Helvetica Neue are at the center of many such tales of woe.
I'd recommend some simple testing on the co-worker's computer with PDF's produced under the same conditions using different fonts; perhaps some varied weights of the same Helvetica Neue.

When exporting Captivate 5 project as pdf, cannot open linked files (which are also pdfs)

I am a Captivate novice, using version 5 on Mac. I am thrilled that my project can be published as a pdf. Everything works great except the interactive buttons, which are supposed to open various small pdfs. I placed the linked documents in the same folder with captivate project. I used just the filename of the document as the link. I can open the links with no problem when I open the SWF from firefox, but when I try to open them from my exported PDF (with Acrobat 9 pro), no luck. This is really bumming me out, because being able to hand the customer an interactive PDF is cool. I could just duplicate the same effect in Acrobat Pro Extended, but I find the Captivate workspace much faster and easier than creating interactivity with Acrobat. Plus, it is so cool to add the audio and animated effects in Captivate. Not so easy in Acrobat. Help??!?! Thank you.

Thanks for the update! No pressure, but I'm using the trial version while I decide if Captivate will be the solution I need to create these multimedia pdfs. Is there any sort of timeframe on the resolution of the issue I posted? Should I expect to wait until Captivate 6, or should I expect an update to 5 to solve the problem? Just need to know how to move forward. I apologize in advance if I am out of line for asking timeframe questions. I'm new to support forums. I never posted before because I was always able to get answers by researching discussions. Your reply is so helpful to me because I can barely afford the $800 for Cap 5. If it can't do what I need it to do, I will save the money and stick with creating interactivity in PDFs through Acrobat's brute force (but reliable) methods...but Captivate is SO COOL...oh woe.

Optimize PDF size

woe, gloom and distress … I created a document called pinForms.fm today, after having the installerUpdate run on my FM 10. It's part of a three-file book. When I try "save as .pdf" on the book, all files open, I get the always mysterious message "saving or printing this document … can occur … earlier than 6.0" and the instruction "Use Format > document > Optimize PDF size". And no .pdf output.
Obediently running the command, on pinForms.fm since that's the file the message points the finger at, gets me
Finished optimizing pinForms.fm and linked files for PDF File size.
Processed 0 files.
and no improvement
A simple way to print this 30-page book without hassle would be much appreciated. I don't know what's going on, but I do know I have had more grief with FM 10 (at a client site since the start of November) than with 5.5, 6, 7 and 9 put together :-{

Feels like I was just at the wrong place and the wrong time, at some unpredictable intersection of circumstances …
Ignoring the message didn't help, just left me without any .pdf output. I felt the need for results, so I started from File > New (as detailed in another post) and finally managed to migrate my content into a doc file that didn't throw any errors. On the way there, I came across "Separation out of range" and "Inconsistent colour definition", which I overcame with MIF and file-by-file comparison.
Arnis, you'd already helped me with the Creator vs real Distiller configuration
Error7103, if I hit this annoyance again I'll experiment with printer settings and routes.

When i send a PDF via e-print, it gets cropped, is there a way to prevent this from happening?

PDF's are printing fine when i print direct to the printer but when they are sent by e-mail they get cropped, is there a way to get the document to fit to page when sent as an email attachment?
The Printer in question is a HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551n, the printer is brand new installed last week so i don't know if this is the norm or not.
Edit: Please can someone please explain how to correct this.

If you're using a desktop or notebook PC to send the email you could try installing the HP ePrint Mobile Driver software on your machine, the link to the download is here. This will allow you to print the PDF to any ePrint capable printer without having to email it to the printers email address as an attachment.
Once installed and with your PDF open on your machine, select Print from the File menu, then select "ePrint" from the list of available printers (don't select the actual printer itself) and click Print in the bottom right corner of the box. A dialogue box will open showing the avaialble ePrint printers you can print to. Click on the Connected button on the left of the screen to add your printer to the list if its not listed.
Hope this helps.

PDF Printing Problem with HP UPD Printer

Hi,
in our Company we use the HP UPD Driver PCL5 in Version 5.9.0.18326. The Printermodells are HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401, HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451, HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow M830z, HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 MFP M525dn, HP LaserJet Enterprise M630dn, HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow M680z and HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow M880z with newest Firmware.
If a PDF file is printed using Adobe Reader, it takes a long time until the file is printed on the printer. Partially individual pages are printed in one-minute intervals. But if I use another PDF viewer such as Foxit Reader, PDF documents can be printed at normal speed.
Other documents, such as Word or Excel files are printed normally. Only PDF documents that are printed with Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat are affected. We use the Acrobat Reader version 11.0.10. With version 11.0.6, the problem also occurs.
Sometimes it also happens that the PDF document fills up the memory of the printer when it was printed with Adobe Reader. With Foxit Reader this does not happen with the same document.
Does anyone know this problem and knows what to do?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ cups ▹ error_log
from the hierarchical list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Filename in PDF portfolio?

Sorry for what I'm sure is an easy(lame) question.
I don't want to show the filename when creating a PDF portfolio and I've hunted for the answer without any luck.
How do I only show the image or show a custom text/ title but not the XXXXX.jpg filename?
thx!
> just to clarify.... when viewing a PDF portfolio of images I don't want to show the image filename below the image.

Hi,
I've been trying to hide the file name myself. It seems intuitive that, while in the Modify area of the PDF Portfolio, under "Specify File Details" that one would simply unclick "Name" under "Columns to Display".
But all that seems to do is hide it while I'm within the Modify section. I save and go back to view the pdfs and there are the file names.
Anyone out there know the answer? Even if it's just a link to more info, that would be great. I need to get this out but without the filenames. I've searched in Google but no good info.
BTW, the Description option is a nice touch and shows upon immediate hover. That's why I don't need to show a file name. Plus, you can write more in the description than is viable/sensible in a file name.
Thanks for your help.

Filename in Save As dialog when saving PDF file

I have a web site serving up PDF files. Without going into details, the URLs of the PDFs are not just your basic URL but look simething like this:
http://www.domain.com/WorkFlowApp/Clients/demo1/secure/Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http://ww w.domain.com/ICCollab/IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
In this case the actual filename is "Promo Cover Cool-MedHi.pdf"
While viewing in Safari (OS X), if the user saves the PDF to their local machine, the Save As dialog comes up and the filename field is automatically populated. The problem is, instead of using just the filename, the field contains this:
http---www.domain.com-WorkFlowApp-Clients-demo1-secure-Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http---ww w.domain.com-ICCollab-IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
I know when performing the same action on Windows using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box filename field is populated correctly with just the filename (although it shows up URL encoded as Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedHi.pdf, which is OK).
I'd like to be able to force Safari to use just the filename in the Save As dialog box. Has anyone come accross this problem and figured out a solution?

Can we use IF statement in PDF templates

Hi,
I developed a PDF template. I need to underline ang bold the records based on a specific condition. Can we use IF conditon in PDF templates. Please suggest.
Thanks...

ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader
11 again.     After discussing this with Adobe Technical in London they advised me to raise this issue with your Adjudicators in this Forum.
Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.
Many thanks.   Derek Horder.

Aio remote only allows save to pdf when trying to print picture

brand new HPm MFP M127 fw. have web services enabled and all the other stuff noted in the printer installation. Installed aio remote on galaxy s3 with droid 4.4.2. went ahead and installed HP print services from GP as well.
Browse to a photo in the gallery, select print and the print setting dialog appears, but no option to print. only save to PDF. When I try to go ahead and let it save, to see if it will let me print after, it fails. What am I missing here?

Hi,
The HP Laserjet Pro M127 is not supported by the HP All-In-One Remote app, therefore it won't allow printing to the printer, as you may find listed within the HP Consumer LaserJet printers section:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02814760&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3204788#N39...
You may print using the HP ePrint app or Print Solution for Android as listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03722645&tmp_task=setupCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...

Aio Remote: PDFs not recognized by Google drive.

Aio Remote on iPad Air2 iOS 8.1.1 - I created a PDF on my iPad from my HP Envy 7640 using Aio remote app. In the files/document section it's there (3 pages) as a PDF. But when I upload a copy from Aio Remote to Google Drive it's not recognized by Google Drive as a PDF even though it has a PDF extention. I have other PDF files stored in Google drive that are perfectly fine. It must be something in your app that is the problem.

More info: if I send it from Aio remote as an email attachment to myself I get a PDF that I can upload to Google drive and Google drive reconizes it as a PDF. again proving it is Aio remote that is doing some thing wrong when uploading to Google Drive.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

PDF Woe.
