Pdfing

I need to generate a PDF file on the server side. I do not want to save the PDF file on the server file system. Instead, I would like to stream it back directly to the client browser. I have thought of using the "web resource" approach available in the Web Dynpro API, which I believe it can make the PDF file available for just a session. How can I tackle this issue?
Create PDF per session only. Auto delete after session ends.

Tested using Web Resources, resolved.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing my document using Microft Word 2010. I have tried using the tab add-in, but it doesn't respond either. The only way to convert my document is to save it as a .pdf from the save as drop down box. I need to be able to have the full functionability of creating a PDF document with the tabs and links working.
    Please help!

    From OFFICE 2010 you either have to have AA X or just print to the Adobe PDF printer. You give no information on your operating system or specifically what you mean by PDFing -- there are multiple ways to create a PDF from a WORD document and you have given no information. However, in this case your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer. Otherwise, you need to upgrade Acrobat.

  • InDesign CS6 crashes when PDFing as spreads

    I have an 84-page document filled with imported PDFs of camera-ready ads. When I try to make a PDF of the file, InDesign crashes every time.
    This is what I tried trouble-shooting:
    • Packaged the file in InDesign to make sure there weren't any font issues, etc. All fine, no errors.
    • Tried PDFing the document in chunks to see if I could find a bad ad. When I PDF'd 10 pages at a time, as spreads, I had no problem. But when I try to PDF the entire document, InDesign crashes midway through the PDF.
    • Saved the doc as an IDML. Reopened and tried PDFing. Works fine as single pages, but crashes ID when spreads are checked.
    I haven't even placed the editorial content on the pages yet (text and photos), and am wondering how I'm ever going to be able to make a PDF of spreads. (Client needs to see them as spreads.)
    Help!

    If you can export the entire file in smaller pieces, but not as a single unit, it generally means your system lacks the processing resources. Try shutting down ID, then open the file and export before you do any other actions.
    If that still doesn't work, you can export in pieces and combine them in Acrobat.

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

  • Text not printing or PDFing. Non-printing is not applied. Help?

    I have a logo. The top is on a path applied to an oval. Same with the bottom. In the middle is an ampersand (&). When I try to print, only the ampersand prints. I've tried printing to 2 different machines. I also tried saving it as a PDF but I lose everything except the ampersand in the middle. Everything is colored black, so there are no weird colors going on. Non-printing is not applied to anything. Any thoughts? I can send the file to somebody if they want to check it out.
    ID CS 3
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sorry for the delay. Spent some time looking for the font becasue I'm on Windows.
    I opened it first in CS5, and after font substitution it exported fine, so I figured maybe it was a font problem on your end, but just to be safe I opened it in CS3 to check. Same problem here that you have on your end.
    Good news, though. I exported to .inx and opened that. That page opened at 11 inches high, which may be part of the problem, but after resizing, it exported correctly. This is a pretty good inidcator of some minor corruption that is fixable by the export. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • PDFing from PPT 2007 using Acrobat 9 Pro - custom options

    I have just installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and i have (unfortunately)PowerPoint 2007. I need to be able to export as a pdf to very specific parameters for our print house and they do not want to play with each other very well. PPT has an idiot button that defaults straight to a pdf without letting me set up the doc in the manner needed - i.e. as handouts at 2400 dpi. I can set the output for everything but the handout feature. That has to be done using the print option in PPT. When we load a driver labeled Adobe PDF and i print to file - the .prn file gets cranky and looks for a specific joboption extention that has been created and saved where Adobe went when i did a save as under the preferences for the settings needed for the print house. It doesn't seem to know to look there when trying to make a pdf using a .prn file. Any suggestions??
    Thank you,
    Barbara

    Don't print to file. If you want to convert the PRN file, open it in Distiller. The conversion settings are in the settings file on the second menu in Distiller. They may be ignored since you created the prn file with the Adobe PDF printer.
    When you get a settings file from a printer that you need to use, open Distiller and under the menu items with the settings file, select to install a new settings file. Then install the one you received. Once it is installed, go back to PPT and print the handouts to the Adobe PDF printer (no printing to file, but direct). Before you print, select the printer properties and change the settings file to the new one loaded into Distiller.
    That should do it.

  • PDFing Spot Colour Transparencies from Indesign CS2

    Hello!,
    I think this is a common question, but I can't find a definitive answer. I am trying to PDF a file which has an image and then a spot colour transparency over part of it. When I PDF the file at Press Quality the spot colour transparency is white. When I PDF the file at a lower resolution (Standard size PDF) the transparency is fine.
    Is there some way I can resolve this? I need to prepare a Press Quality File. I seem to recall reading or hearing somewhere that Indesign does not deal with spot colour transparency very well. I am currently working in CS2, and am wondering if the issue has been resolved in newer versions of Indesign.
    Many thanks for your help, all,
    Pepi

    > that Indesign does not deal with spot colour transparency very well
    Nonsense.
    Just turn on Overprint Preview in Acrobat.

  • Pantone color issues while PDFing

    The company I work for designs/publishes a magazine and have just been upgraded from CS2 to CS4. Since then, I've started having some problems when I PDF or print an ad. I'll receive an ad as a PDF and a component of their ad will be a Pantone color (typically logo). When I PDF the magazine page, the logo will change to another color. It's as if it doesn't recognize the color as CMYK. This also happens sometimes when I print. Any suggestions?

    Some further clarification may be in order.
    Spot colors ar not CMYK, though they might have a fairly close approximation. Most magazines don't offer spot color support, so everything must either be designed in CMYK, or converted. There are MANY spot colors that don't have good CMYK equivalents, and for those you will see a color shift after the conversion. Checking the "use Lab values" box will probably get you the closest possible match in a properly color managed workflow.

  • PDFing a Captivate Project

    When i publish my project created in Captivate 5, I can't hear the audio.  BUT I can hear the audio on the html version of the project.  (When I publish, it creates both a PDF and a html version of the project.  I'm new to Captivate so it's probably something I'm doing wrong.  Please help!!!

    OK.  We need to clarify a few things here.
    When you publish your project and you CANNOT hear the audio, how were you viewing your project?  Were you Previewing it from within Captivate, or were you publishing it out to some format?
    If you have the HTM and PDF boxes checked in your publish settings then Captivate will indeed create a PDF and HTM file.  However, what you might not realise is that this HTM file is only really a launching file for the SWF file that actually has all the content, including all of your audio. 

  • PDFing from InDesign question

    I'm using InDesign CS3 and the prepress folks I send to have added a new wrinkle for me. I'm getting an error on their preflight software stating that there are lines too thin on my PDFs. Apparently there are ads on the pages that I am sending them that have lines smaller than .125 on them and they are being rejected. I can't seem to find a setting on the export in CS3 that will allow me to upsize any lines thinner than that. Does anyone know a trick to fixing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's a bit of a weird preflight check IMHO but there's nothing Indesign can do about it anyway.  There is a tool in Acrobat Pro that might help, under Advanced > Print Production > Fix Hairlines.  I'm not really au fait with how it works or what it does though.

  • PDFing a PowerPoint presentation (slides) in Notes Page print layout - is it possible?

    Hello,
    I have a PowerPoint presentation that I would like to disseminate as slides AND as a booklet. I used the Slides Master to format the slides, and I used Notes Master to create the booklet. In PowerPoint, I can, by default, print the slides. I can also print the booklet by changing the layout to Notes Pages, and everything looks great.
    Now on to PDF.
    I can, by default, create a PDF of the presentation with Print > Print Layout > Full Page Slides (default).
    But Acrobat XI Pro ignores my attempt to create a PDF of the Notes Page View (the booklet) with Print > Print Layout >Notes Pages.
    Has anyone succeeded in getting a PDF of anything other than the standard PowerPoint slide view?
    Thank you for any tricks, tweaks, & wisdom on this!

    I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the  PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

  • When will the ACROBAT PDF function work again for Office 2011 for MAC and PC?

    HELP!!!!
    Adobe Tech support suggested I submit my comment to this post in hopes  that this will help resolve the issues.  I feel for them having to field  these calls.
    I can no longer convert Excel, Word and Powerpoints to PDF.  If our company converts one Office doc to PDF a day, we do at least 50 conversions to PDF.  Since the 9.4.2 update, the PDF feature does not work on MAC...and since the 9.4.4 update it no longer works on a WIN system.
    We have Acrobat 9 on all the MACs and PCs in the office.  We downloaded Acrobat X to test it out when it first launched.  Other than some nice bells and whistles with the convenient interface and new enhancements to the Portfolio feature, Acrobat X still does not do the basic function Acrobat was designed to do....convert to a PDF.
    We began converting PDF's on the WIN systems because the file size and object data handling on MAC had become difficulty over the past year (lost fonts, file size bloated, etc).  Now, nothing works on either system.
    Last year Adobe and Microsoft Office suggested we upgrade to CS5 and the new OFFICE to fix the problems.  MAC remains closed box which is why the system is so clean, but poses a real challenge when running non MAC software.  Now Adobe advises that Acrobat only works on the previous version of Office (?), but not 2007 and that they are not compatible with the new office even thought it worked just a few weeks or so ago. Unfortunately, we have used some of the new features in the new Office and now are being asked to go back a step.
    OFFICE automatically turns on your 90 day free tech support now when you call in to tell them PDF doesn't work.  They feel they are giving YOU tech support.   Last year, the Microsoft Office group advised that once they hand off to the PDF processor, that function is all Adobe.  And it seems that Apple has their own Quark processor running scripts in between the two functions which is why the PDF file sizes are bloating on MACs.
    The Adobe Acrobat engineers at AdobeMAX suggested to run Paralells or VMware on MAC in order to convert files to PDF properly/small size  (which is what they say they do to get around the object data and bloating issues internally on their own MACs).
    I know so many colleagues now who just run dual systems (WIN/MAC) so they can realize the full function of the Adobe software.  It is not convenient when traveling or cost efficient for small businesses, but that is what we had to do to get our jobs done.  I "HAD" a couple of the most incredible PDFing maching in my office until about a week ago...a $4k mega WIN System raided, 2 SDDs, 2 1TB HDDs, major video card, etc....and they are sitting lonely because PDF doesn't work anymore.  But goodness, how fast it converted things to PDF.
    Is there another patch coming imminenty to fix this issue?
    I don't really care if there is a 32 bit or 64 bit issue.  Customers pay premium price for the software which boasted 64 bit, etc and it should work as advertised. I ponder, are all my macs 64bit now???  They still don't work either.  Customers depend on the software to do even the most basic functions in daily business and should not have to spend hours on the phone trying to figure out a problem that has nothing to do with them or a workaround because their investment did not work as advertised (and has genereally worked for years)....
    One click of the button should be all that is necessary to make a PDF and make people everywhere happy when they need to send a secure output of their huge powerpoint to a customer to get business or their child's project for school that morning.
    Is there a software war going on between the companies?
    Are they rushing to market too quickly?
    Do the companies thoroughly test the patches before running the updates?
    Are there not enough API's or "hooks" allowing companies to make their products work with the different hardware, firmware, etc?
    I don't really care what the internal issues are. Just fix it!  The software should work as it is marketed (including the platform) and these companies need to get together and make it work (if that is the case) so their loyal customers can get their jobs done enabling them to purchase the next version of software that is suppose to be better than the last for their work.
    Posted Respectfully and with hope this issue will be resolved promptly!

    Mr. Jones,
    You are a real lifesaver!!!
    It worked on the Mac.  Will have to do some searches to find the same on the PC since the same is happening.
    Do you happen to know why Adobe is saying they are not compatible with Office 2011 now?  I found a link on the Adobe webite along those lines yesterday, but was not able to find it this morning to insert into this post.
    Our CEO had a real meltdown at about 2am the other morning when trying to pdf something for a meeting the next day.  Was not very pretty.
    THANK YOU!!!

  • Script to open INDD files, run script, and close

    Hello, I'm looking for a script that will open a folder of Indesign files, open each one, run a selected script, then close each file.
    RIght now I'm using the Batch convert script, to convert INDD to INDD and run the script in between (then I delete the extra INDD file). But I'm trying to eliminate the conversion element, just need the script part of it.
    Anyone have any help? Thanks.

    Here's my whole code if it helps. I'm wondering if the script is moving too fast. I think that the first files are still PDFing while the others are opening and closing. Could that be it? I'm not sure why else the for loop for the PDFing is only working on the first file.
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Input Folder");
    var myIndsnFiles = myFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
    var exportPath=Folder("/").selectDlg("Select PDF output folder:");
    var pdfPreset = "Press Quality";
    for(k=0; k<myIndsnFiles.length; k++)
        app.open(myIndsnFiles[k]);
        var jobNumber = "12345";
            for (aPage=0; aPage < app.activeDocument.pages.length; aPage++)
                app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = app.activeDocument.pages[aPage].name;
                app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(exportPath+"/"+jobNumber+"_"+pad(app.activeDocument.pages[aPage].name)+".pdf"), false, pdfPreset);
                function pad (n) {
                return ("00000"+n).slice(-3);
    app.activeDocument.close();

  • Create Link to attached PDF file

    Hi guys
    I am having a nightmare!
    I have been provided with a Word document which contains links to embedded PDF documents.  It all works lovely, you click on the link in the word document and up pings the embedded PDF in a new window.
    My issue is that I now have to turn the Word document into a PDF to put on our website.
    I have tried numerous ways of PDFing the Word document but none have been successful in maintaining the embedded PDFs within it.  When I open the PDFd Word Doc it can see that there is links, but when you click, nothing happens.
    I have accepted there probably isnt a way to do this, so I came up with an alternative plan of saving all of the embedded PDF links to my hard drive, PDFing the original word document, attaching the embedded PDFs to the main parent PDF and linking to them.
    HOWEVER! I cannot figure out how to link from the main PDF to the attached PDFs.  I can create a link but there doesnt seem to be a way to set it to open the attached PDFs (which ideally should open in a new window ..) ARRGHH!
    Help!
    Thanks

    Sounds like you on a Mac. And Adobe has let this bug go on for 15 years with no intentions of fixing.
    Take the word File and if You have Apple's Pages (part of the iWork package) and Open there (will be imported)
    Verify That your formatting has not been changed. (Making sure all links work.)
    If not  changed, create the PDF from there.
    Go to Print Menu
    Click on PDF and Hold
    When window pops up choose Adobe PDF
    Follow directions as the Pop up.
    All your Links should be live. IF they were live in the Pages file.
    It seems after 15-20 years Adobe programmers haven't learned various codes Word uses to make links, and. Even 2011 which used parts of Office 2007 and 2010 to create it. the only difference were UI (User Interface) and key mappings for short cuts.

  • Network printing slow after updating to Tiger, InDesign from OS 9 PageMaker

    Sorry for the "old" OS talk, but this is "new" to this shop (a small newspaper). Long overdue, I upgraded our 8 G4s to Tiger from OS 9. They're all networked to a G5, where all files are stored (graphics mostly). This G5 was installed a year ago with Tiger and served as a file server, connected via Ethernet (and SharePoints), to the OS 9 Macs. The printer is a color copier, an Océ cm2520, and DID a great job printing tabloid pages from PageMaker 7. The pages are comprised of mostly ads saved as PDFs, and some text. The pages range in size from less than 1mb to upwards of 10mb. The printer has 500mb of storage plus a 40gb HD built-in.
    With OS 9 & PageMaker, tabloid pages would come out in less than one minute, the largest might've taken 3-4 minutes (big graphics & color). Now, with Tiger & InDesign CS3, the same pages take at least 15 minutes apiece to print! And even much longer when more than one page is sent at a time. The spooling part goes very quickly, but the printer takes forever to process the jobs. Nothing else has changed other than the OS and ID CS3. I did reinstall the printer with the current-most driver but no difference. I tried PDFing the pages and printing those, and that cut the print time about in half, which is still way too long and not practical on a "production" day. Small ID files still print quickly, but these PDF-ridden tabloid pages are ridiculous.
    I first thought it was ID, but now am wondering if it might have something to do with how/where print jobs are spooled in OSX. Can anyone shed some light on where print files go once the Print button is hit? Is there a secret cache/print queue that might need cleaning out? Do the spooled jobs reside on the sending Macs or on the file server? I can't imagine that this one-year-old Océ printer just went bad coincidentally at the same time as the software upgrades.
    Thanks for any help with this problem!

    With no insight whatsoever from the manufacturer of the copier, I reformatted the internal hard disk. Life is back to normal! Apparently these HDs get fragged just like any other, so a periodic reformatting may take care of sluggish performance. Either that or the original formatting of the internal HD wasn't "compatible" with OS X.
