PDFs output from MadCap Flare issues when converted to PPT

We are single sourcing docs and training. We have successfully output PDFs from Flare for PowerPoint. The Adobe output lets us fully edcidt the slides, unlike the freeware solution that we tried earlier. HOWEVER, bullets, some autonumbered styles such as H2 and H3, as well as tables (content somteimes overflows) do not render properly, which would require extensive editing.
Do you have any advice?

Bill, Thank you! This makes good sense. I can see where autonumbering and tables might pose issues, but Adobe specifically states conversion to bullets is supported.
So here is what my investigation shows:
Flalre creates bullet points using the <li> tag in HTML markup.
This translates in PPT to a small dash, and when I click the bullets, I see None selected. (The Dita type is also li)
Do you have any insights as to hwo to tag for PPT?
amny, many thanks!

    Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system.
    If anybody has easy way to make those forms...
    Please suggest...

    Hi Shabeer,
    the first thing is that you are running on a very very low RAM.
    For ECC 6.0 with dual stack SAP System to run you should have atleast 4 GB of RAM.
    For your Dispatcher issue kindly check the status of your Oracle database and the connection from SAP To Database.
    You can check the oracle status using brtools utility.

    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

  • Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

    Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.

    Hi Todd,
    Please refer to this link:

    As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

  • Time Out Issue When Converting from PDF to .doc or .dox format

    I have a couple of PDF documents that I'm trying to convert to word doc (doc or dox) format.  I subscribe to the online Adobe Export PDF.  The export always times out.  The PDF is 18.08 MB.  Does anyone have have any suggestions?

    Hi riversideredhead63,
    Are you able to convert other PDFs without issue? Here are a few things to try for starters:
    Clear your browser cache (steps vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    If those don't work, please get back to us. It would be helpful to know what sort of content is in the PDF file that you're trying to convert, and what application created the PDF. (If you don't know, choose File > Properties in Reader. The source application is listed in the middle of the dialog box.)
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

    I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
    The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
    When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
    Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
    If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
    If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
    Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
    SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
    You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
    Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
    Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

    Thank you for reporting this.
    I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:

    (Cannot test it right now.)

  • When I download .pdf files from my office they are converted to .ashx files

    When I download a .pdf file from my Outlook mail box at my office, Firefox reads it as an .ashx file. However if I use Safari, it is read correctly as a .pdf file.
    How can I fix my Firefox browser?

  • PDF exported from InDesign missing background when opened in Illustrator

    Hello, I am having a bit of a frustrating problem.
    I'm working on graphics for a large project, and I have to get some of my files from InDesign into Illustrator (they are both CS5) for our printer.
    I would have normally designed them in Illustrator but ALL my graphics are in InDesign and we just found out once we started on production that he needs AI and needs our trim path set up for our irregular shapes. 
    For MOST of the documents, its been pretty easy (exporting to PDF > opening in illustrator and making a cut path > saving as AI) however I have this one file that is making me lose my mind.
    When I export it as PDF, it opens perfectly and looks normal in acrobat, and I also check it out in preview as well. The background shows up and everything. However when I open the PDF in illustrator it completely loses the background. I noticed it doing this before for a couple graphics, but I assumed that was because they had gradients drop shadows and transparencies and all that. This file has nothing weird except for a gradient grey background.
    Help? I'm including some screenshots of whats happening in the hopes that you guys can help solve it.
    So here we have me saving it, then opening it in Acrobat to check stuff out.
    Now here is what happens when I open it in Illustrator:

    Hi, Brie. I have been running into this issue for quite some time now. I also received the same response as you did. "Stop opening exported PDFs in Illustrator." This is an unsatisfactory answer for someone that works in the large format print industry that needs to preflight directly in the Illustrator program. I've done a ton of research and have been racking my brain for the last 2 years and have finally found sufficient workarounds for this issue. The downfall with these workarounds: all spot colors located in the gradients will convert to CMYK mixes. I'm still researching to see if there is a way to keep spot colors intact in these areas.
    A little back story: InDesign is converting the gradients into something called NChannel. It enables more accurate handling of color blending by including additional dot gain and color mixing info. Both InDesign and Acrobat have the ability to display these elements whereas Illustrator, from what I’m finding, does not. Which is why we’re seeing gradient elements drop out when opened in Illustrator.
    Workaround for CMYK Gradients
    Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
    Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
    Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
    Color Type: DeviceCMYK
    Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
    Expand Document Colors on the right and Select DeviceCMYK in Color Spaces then click ok
    Save the PDF
    Workaround for 1 Spot Color in Gradients (Converts Spot Color located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
    Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
    Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
    Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
    Color Type: Spot Color
    Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
    Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the Spot that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
    Save the PDF
    Workaround for 2 Spot Colors in Gradients (Converts Spot Colors located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
    Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
    Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
    Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
    Color Type: Spot Color
    Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
    Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the DeviceN spot color that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
    Save the PDF
    Please try this and let me know if you have any questions! I'm always looking for new problems to solve! Good luck!

  • PDF output from payment program (trancode F110)

    We currently use 3rd party software to create PDF files of individual remittance advices from the payment run program, by passing the spool output print stream to this software, which recognises each different vendor remittance, and creates a separate file for each one.
    Due to cost restrictions, we want to no longer use the external software and want to do this all within SAP.
    I have looked at various functions available to create PDF output, and think CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF is the one to use, however, when I have tried a simple test of this FM, it creates one pdf file for the spool output, but we need to create separate PDF files for each different remittance advice, per vendor.
    Can someone suggest a way that we can do this?
    Thanks,
    Michael.
    PS. I am an ABAPer.

    Hello,
    Maybe you can start with Adobe forms in SAP, for printing the technology is free, it is quite an emerging one and there are plenty of tutorials. Maybe you can start from here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d and create your own customer forms.
    Note there is SAP ADobe forms forum under NetWeaver and you can find me and other SAP Adobe people there.

  • Actual layout of PDF output from printer is very small

    Hi there,
    I am currently sucessfully migrate Oracle reports from 6i to 10g (10,1,2) and the result looks fine from IE browser. When I try to print the report from printer, the image is occupied upper part of Letter size pager and it is very small which I even cannot read it. The following is my code snap:
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_SERVER,g_server);
         v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(p_repid);
    I didn't change any in my report rdf from 6i but only open and save it using 10g report builder. I also read threads posted but couldn't find the answer. Can anyone help me to resolve my issue.
    Thanks
    Jeffrey

    It happens on all machine. We use browser to launch the application and the report is called from forms (10.1.2). We didn't change any code in report and neither the fonts (Tahoma). In 6i, client server environment, windows can find the font. I guess in 10g web environment, the font is not as default. HP Laserjet 8000N is a network printer which I use to testing my report. everything is fine in 6i but not 10g. Here is my question.
    1. How to check printer setup? Should I use the default font from Linux instead of Tahoma?
    2. I found a note in metalink, Note:356221.1 which explains the procedures to deploy reports from windows to Linux. I am not sure my problem is related to the font or something else...
    Thanks for you reponse.

  • Best way to produce PDF output from Classic ASP

    I have Adobe Professional 9.2 and LiveCycle ES Designer 8.1. I need to change a Classic ASP web application to produce a PDF report. The way I see it I have three options:
    1) create native PDF output using open source libraries.
    2) create an FDF form with Adobe Pro as a template and use FDF libraries from Adobe to substitute text in the template
    3) create an XML form with LiveCycle as a template and do direct text substitution into the XML.
    I created a PDF with LiveCycle and prior to saving, unchecked the "save PDF files compressed" in tools/options. I don't want any text boxes, just labels, and in some of the labels I will put distinguishable text. When the web application uses the template it will find various text strings in the XML stream and substitute.
    What's the best way to do this? Is there a better way of doing substitution into the LiveCycle template? I would like to stay with LiveCycle. But from code samples I've seen, FDF substitution is very straightforward and possibly easier. I also thought LiveCycle is supposed to be the way to go instead of Adobe Pro. Thanks

    I cannot speak about theother methods but I can speak about the XFA method. In most cases people will bind the xml to the rawValue property of the field thereby filling the field with the value. However there are other bindable properties. Caption is one of them. first you have to turn on the Dynamic Properties. Click on th efield you want to control on on the Object palette click the icon as shown below:
    A new menu will open like this:
    Turn that option on and the Caption will turn a different color and will become a link. Click on the link and then you can map the caption to a node in your XML structure. This assumes that you have created a Data Connection to bind with.

  • Grayscale pdf output from Illustrator (?)

    Some of my real estate clients want me to do grayscale versions of their flyers in addition to the color version sometimes. Is there a way to take a cmyk pdf that was output from Illustrator (complete with vectors and images, etc) and output to a new grayscale pdf correctly? There seems to be no way to do that in Illustrator aside from editing them within the app (not the best way). Illustrator does a bad job with converting embedded/linked cmyk bitmap images to grayscale...they end up over-saturated and look incorrect.
    Converting all vectors is easy with Ai CS3's Live Color, so no worries there. I'm just looking for an easy automated way to do this from the cmyk Ai file.

    Mr. Met wrote:
    I thought that only applied to CS4 and/or snow leopard thing. I have CS3/OS 10.4.11 and have no problems printing to postscript.
    Right, it's a problem in Snow Leopard. It looked to me as if you were answering the question of what method to use in Snow Leopard, and print to PS is problematic. For that matter, the result is the same if you print to PS and distill or do it in one step by printing to PDF if you use the same settings, so unless you use a watched folder for distiller, I can't see any reason to use two steps.

  • PDF output from RH9 WebHelp

    I am asked to publish some WebHelp content as PDF prior to the infrastructure being available to publish WebHelp.
    My wish is to publish it as PDF but not with a "Printed documentation" look. I want to create a PDFthat looks like Web pages. What is the best way to do this?
    My thought is to publish to Word, then tweak and then save as PDF.
    In RH 9 , what tools are available for creating a good-looking HTML output from Word?

    Thank you Peter. I don't need the PDF output to look exactly like my HTML (even if it were possible, which it isn't). But I want the PDF output to be in a style of presentation optimised for online reading and navigating (rather than printing). There seem to be a number of limitations with both the template and the CSS approach.
    For example, I can force the page size and orientation of the PDF output by modifying the style map template. But some settings don't seem to come across: headers, footers, two-column layout. It seems that RH9 overrides these settings when it produces its "print" output. So the clean-up tasks post-generation render this effort impractical in cases where the source files will be changing frequently. I suppose a clever macro writer could automate the cleanup tasks, but I don't happen to have one at my disposal.

  • "Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

    Dear all,
    I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
    Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
    Thank you!
    Kyle

    Issue resoved.
    For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.
