PDF writer losing files

In Acrobat Pro 8 with Vista I can't print from the web as a pdf. I click print and select PDF Writer (as normal) I then have option to name the file, and browse to where I want it to go. I do that and then click Print ... and a pop up window then advises : "For your computer security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files Folder. Do You want to open this folder?" I select yes .. it opens a folder, but there is no pdf file in it .... If I select No ... I am left with no file anyway.
Carrying out a search of the file name also does not return the file's location ... where the heck does VISTA put the file, and how can I get it to put them where I select ?

Thank you. I have 8.1 and my terminology is just leftover due to my many years of using the older versions. you are correct I am not seeing "writer" but it is infact "AdobePDF" unfortunately I still can't find the files. I did try repair and updates before I posted. but neither solved my problem. It is just one of those things that is bugging me because it is causing me so many extra steps for a function I use so often. I am open to any other suggestions.
Thank you for your help.

Can I install a PDF writer such as CutePDF on my Mac? Or, how do I create PDF files for saving in files?

I am looking to install a PDF writer so I can capture documents and save them to a customer file. Is there an Apple function for this or do I need to install a PDF program?

Like Alberto Ravasio wrote, OS X contains an option to output anything you see as PDF.
See
Preview (Yosemite): Print PDFs and images
So for example, if you are doing research and see an article on Wikipedia that you want to save, you go to the File menu in Safari and select Export as PDF, give it a name, and a location on your drive. You can then open those documents with Preview or with Adobe Reader.
Similarly, if you use Pages or Numbers or Excel or Word, you can send the output to a PDF file, similar as if you were printing it. So no, you don't need a PDF writer.
I am looking to install a PDF writer so I can capture documents and save them to a customer file. Is there an Apple function for this or do I need to install a PDF program?
But if you are looking for screen scrapers or data collectors, that is something else.
This PDF ability in OS X is a major advantage the Mac has had over the years. It is often forgotten as to how well it really works and how flexible, along with Preview, it works.

Ruby: PDF::Writer can't read JPG or PNG files?

require 'pdf/writer'
pdf = PDF::Writer.new
pdf.image('/home/max/pics/kiwi.png')
Results in:
RuntimeError: Unsupported Image Type
from /home/max/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/pdf-writer-1.1.8/lib/pdf/writer/graphics.rb:668:in `image'
Why?
edit - can't get rid of that mysterious newline in the code snippet ... weird? oh well, you get the idea

Hello,
I don't know about this error, but PDF::Writer is unsupported and it is recommended to use Prawn[1].
Couldn't the problem be that you are using Ruby 1.9.1 and PDF::Writer written for 1.8(just a guess).

Save As dialog window disappears when trying to save or use pdf writer

When I try to create a pdf using a pdf writer/printer, or even when i try to save a pdf file, the dialog box showing where to save it appears then immediately disappears before i can choose a name or location to save the pdf. i have tried reinstalling the reader, reooting, reinstalling the pdf writer, nothing seems to work.

I have tried multiple pdf writers including cutepdf and a proprietary pdf writer so I am pretty sure the problem lies within adobe reader. Especially since the problem occurs when I just try to save the pdf and not use the writer.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard - PDF Printer suppress file name prompt

Hi,
We are currently developing a product for Autodesk Revit with regards to drawing generation/export. Revit does not have an inbuilt PDF writer. As such most users either use free PDF Printers or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
We have managed to automate the naming of files using some of the free PDF printers, and suppress the file save as name prompt for each sheet in a set of prints.
We'd also like to add support for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Is this possible through the Acrobat API?
Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated as we are keen to get our product out to market very soon!
Thanks.

Thanks. That's all I needed for now. Our developer will take a look when he comes to doing that section of the product.
Cheers.

Where can I find a pdf writer for my new macbook air?

Where can I find a pdf writer for my new macbook air?

If you'd like to create a PDF from something rather than print, you can create a pdf from any print dialog.
ie. File > Print > click PDF button lower left > Save as PDF..

How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,

Saving as PDF - problem with file name

Hello everybody,
I have a little problem. I'm making a lot of similar document with InDesign so everytime I copy/paste the latest and then rename it from windows. But when I try to save (with a custom preset) the document as PDF, everytime on default InDesign gave the name of the original document, so I have to write the right name everytime. How can I change this? I want to have on default the file name I'm working on, not the original one.
EXAMPLE
I copy and paste "average.indd" and then I rename it as "joe.indd". I make some changes inside JOE, save it and then try to export as PDF. When the saving window appear, the program suggest "average.pdf" as name of the PDF I'm creating.
Thanks for your support and excuse me if my english is not that good (not my language).
Have a nice day!
Dario

Ah well, it is generally accepted that the most recent PDF-export file name "sticks" and when that's the case, there isn't anything you can do about it except type in the new name you want. However, I just tried it a second time (the first time before my first post), and here, I got it to work the way you want by doing what I originally advised...
Start new file.
Save As average.indd
Export > PDF...file name defaults to average.pdf
Back in InDesign, Save As joe.indd
Export > PDF...file name defaults to joe.pdf
What exactly did you try, and where did the result differ from what I saw?

Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR. ?

Hi, I get this message (loosely translated from Swedish):
"Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR.
Confirm that you have access to this file"
when I try to install Acrobat standard 7.0, and after several "retry" I cannot finish the installation.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you,
MIa

Appears that you are on a Win7, 64-bit machine. AA 7 has an issue with activation since the server no longer exists for AA 7. There is a separate install at Adobe to address this issue that might solve the problem temporarily (Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3). Even if you get AA 7 installed on Win7, you will have to do workarounds to make it work. Both the print driver (Adobe PDF) and AcroTray.exe fail on Win7 and they require workarounds to be able to even use AA 7. It is strongly recommended that you get AA XI at this point.

Write HTML Files from java application

Hello,
i have to write HTML files from a java application.
I am asking if anybody can give me a hint about a good simple solution (library) which can do some of the job for me.
i know FOP for example is good to create pdf or html from xml, but i dont want to go via xml.
the sites i need are really very simple presents emails.
body and maybe a link for next and pervious.
however, thank you in advance.
a little hint will also help :)
Sako.

That, too, is my question.
Be the "server" local or remote, wouldn't JSPs still
be the easier solution? No. it will not. because you need a server. Server for a stand alone application is not esier. according to who said JSPs are easy?
Its very very difficult.
>
When answering, please clarify. I'm a bit of a newbie
here. :)To get sence about how hard is JSP, check Struts. this is very good open source Framework to simplify the JSPs. but it still complecated enough.
or Tapestry my lovely open srouce Framework.
its easier than Struts. but sill complecated because of the documentation.
All in all, using JSP is the purpose of Java in the internet. but not for me. My application will not be available in the internet, i.e. no server, i.e. no need for JSP.
i hope that helps a little.

How can users print CHM or WebHelp to a PDF w/o PDF Writer driver?

A functionality has been requested by Tech Support due to requests from customers. Apparently they want to not only be able to print sections and/or the entire help file (WebHelp and CHM), but they also want to be able to print it to PDF. Some are able to do this because they have a PDF Writer driver installed, but I think to fully provide that functionality, the customer shouldn't actually need the driver?
is it possible to add the ability write to PDF, rather than to a printer, when doing the right-click and select to print from top level (or any level)?

Sorry but either you need to make PDFs available or the user does need a PDF writer on their PC.

no freespace in the tablespace is also the reason for this error
