Print a designer form as pdf using distiller

Is it possible to print a life cycle designer form as pdf?
We have test reports with diffrent form-fields and signature on it.
They are all made with life cycle designer 7.0 and filled in with Acrobat
Professional 7.05.
Is it possible to print the form as pdf with the distiller, so no one can change the fields with Acrobat Standard?
I know you can protect the fields with the security options but for reasons
I can't explain here we want to do it with the method mentioned above.
Thanks for all ideas and opinions
Alex Wimmer

The problem is that Acrobat shows that the desingner document has a password for security.
when I try to print as pdf the procedure stops with the message:
"This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted."
The strange thing is that I told designer in the document options not to use a password for security but Acrobat shows me that the document is password protected. I can even change the security settings to "no security" without typing in a password.
After changing the security options in Acrobat I can print the form as pdf without a problem.
Is it possible to remove the "password" for the documents using the
"Stapelverarbeitung" I don't know if "batch processing" is the right
translation because I use the german version. :-)

Custom colors in FrameMaker 10 not being maintained when printing PDF using Distiller/Professional X

Hello all,
I am working my first tech writing job that requires printed material instead of just PDFs, and I am having problems with the logo colors when it comes to printing them.
I created the two color definitions in FrameMaker 10 (using colors Pantone 485 CVC and Pantone 281 CVC). These colors are used for diagram callouts and doc titles.
I recently upgraded to Distiller X and Acrobat Professional X, thinking that maybe the older versions just didn't support those colors, and I am still getting the same result. Instead of printing the colors I added, the PDF is printed with the default red and blue. FrameMaker is using the CMYK model.
I have a feeling that I just need to adjust some settings, but I don't know whether to adjust Distiller, Acrobat, or FrameMaker. Anyone else have issues when trying to use their company's colors? Any ideas on what might work?
Thanks in advance,
Smitty

John,
I'm not even sure what printer we use since we send the PDFs out to be printed on a glossy paper (I'm new to the position so I don't have all the details yet). All I use is my Adobe PDF printer. I'm also not using FileMaker, I'm using FrameMaker since I am producing manuals that will be printed, not marketing material or anything with a lot of images. I am just trying to get the logo colors to appear correctly in the PDF so that when it does get printed off-site, the Pantone colors are seen and not the default in the final product. I will post this in the FrameMaker forum as well.
Thanks for your response.

Printing field values to a PDF using a template

Hi
I have a set of field values stored in variables, I need to print these fields into a
PDF file. There is a template for this PDF , and each field value should go to a
specific location wrt the template on the new PDF. Could you any one
recommend a 3rd party API that can be used to do this purpose.

I used iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) to do
this.
I created the template as a PDF and used AcroForms to
create named fields within specific formatting within
the PDF.
// Create a BAOS into which to write the
PDF.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Load the PDF template and open the form fields.
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(
"template.pdf" );
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader( inputStream
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
baos);
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
o set the text in a field:
     form.setField("field_name", "field value");
     // close the PDF and return the bytestream
     stamp.close();
     return baos;
It looks like that you are loading a PDF template from a file, and straight
away attempting to fill the form by using the name of the field. To do this shouldn�t the
template PDF be formatted in a specific way to access the specific
location of the template where the field is.
Can you tell me if the template PDF file should be formatted in a specific way
to do this using iText. I was thinking of calculating the offsets of each field
and just print the data at that location.
And I very much appreciate your help so far.

AI file to PDF using Distiller?

Hello peeps,
Easy question I think? Using Distiller [I've got Acrobat 8 Pro], I can create PDF's of EPS's I've created in AI, I can selected any number of files that I want and Distiller produces the PDF's one after another. I do this so I can send low-res proofs to clients etc.
My question is; can I do the same with AI files, because at the moment, Distiller is saying a big fat no to me? My AI files haven't got any embeded images [they are still links], but I can 'save as' a PDF in Illustrator just fine - which is what I do when I'm creating the print ready version.
Thanks in advance.

Something to consider:
Customize PDF presets - by creating a new preset you may be able to establish the parameters you need.
Looking over AI's Help system in Adobe's LiveDocs, it seems that you ought to be able to make an Adobe PDF option that provides the desired output PDF.
Also, the Help system has a segment on processing multiple files that may be of interest.
Be well...

Acrobat 8.0 Print MS Access Form to PDF

Hi,
I am having a unique issue when printing a form created and filled out in MS Access to PDF. The form simply consists of labels and fields in which a user fills out. The fields are outlined with a box. When I print to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard, the vertical lines of some of the boxes are not captured on the PDF. I have tried playing with a number of settings (Resolution DPI, compatibility, object level compression) with no luck. Without the boxes the form looks messy and incomplete. Does anyone have any suggestions why these vertical lines are not shown?
Thanks,
Derek

Have you checked the line resolution in ACCESS. Sometimes these resolutions are set to 1 pixel, which is not really a resolution as such. If you use the default Display Setting in the Adobe PDF printer of 1200 dpi, you get this kind of result depending on the resolution of the display, of which few, if any, come close to 1200 dpi. I use a display resolution of 300 dpi and others recommend 600 dpi.

How to conver color pdf to b&w pdf using distiller ?

i have a question :
i have a color document saved in pdf format . how can i convert it to black & white document using ( ACROBAT DISTILLER) ?
( i have Windows XP + ACROBAT VERSION 5.0 + DISTILLER VERSION 5.0)
thank you

If you were using the default [Smallest File Size] in both cases, that preset does handle grayscale and color images differently:
It also converts everything to sRGB, so in the end your grayscales get converted back to RGB color. It maybe the effective resolution of your grayscales is just under the 225 threshold?
Also, if you are using CS6 or later you can convert a layout to grayscale on export without converting the images to grayscale in PS first (unless you want to adjust the tonality of the conversions). Something like this in Output:

Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

Hi
Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
Here is my snapshot of the issue:
1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
41
( À
4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
5. But I have another Report pdf with the same issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
49
(à øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ðà øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
2. More problems with 9.1.3
3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
Can someone urgently look into this?
Regards
Hari

I am calling Distiller using command line.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
(I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

font substition in drivers for symbol is: no substitution.
any ideas what is causing these errors and how we can fix it??
tia

Ok, there are two things here. Distiller Server can't find some fonts.
This is not a substitution problem. It may not have Times-Roman, but
it needs to have Symbol. This should be included with the
installation. Make sure Distiller's font folders include Distiller's
shipped fonts.
Second, there is an error in the PostScript file. What program is
making this PostScript file (perhaps an add-on for Word)?

I tried printing to Adobe PDF in photoshop, and that seems to work but the fonts don't embed, and the publisher requires a distiller produced file.
I could swear that when I did a test on an earlier version of the file it worked just fine, but have tried everything I can think of and can't seem to get it to work now. Perhaps I messed up a setting somewhere or missed a step? I'm new at this so that's entirely possible. Thanks for helping!

I see the issue you are having. A publisher would likely want you to use either the print or press settings file, or supply you one to use. I use one developed by IEEE for their publications. With where you are, if the PDF that you save from PhotoShop is what you are looking for, simply print that one to the Adobe PDF printer and create a new PDF. The fonts should be embedded. It is not clear if the fonts are just not embedded when you print from PhotoShop or they do not come through as fonts (but are simply graphics of the fonts). If they are fonts but just did not embed, then go back and try using the print or press settings. If needed, enter the options for the settings file and be sure that the fonts are set to always embed (and likely as subset fonts). If any fonts are not embedded, change that setting. In my AA7, the standard settings exclude a lot of fonts that are characteristic of Adobe. Those fonts are both embedded in the Press and Print options.
Don't know if I have helped, but it basically what you seem to need. I have given two options that may meet your needs. Bill

Export/Convert Browser Based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Excel/Word

Hi,
Is there an OOB, way of converting browser based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Word/Excel.
In case there isnt, can anyone please point me to a coded or a programmatic way of implementing the same.
Soptik Dutta

Hi Soptik,
As far as I know, we can only save an InfoPath form as PDF/Excel using InfoPath Windows form application(rather than Broswer-based InfoPath).
In this case, we can
Open the library that save the forms
Selec the form that is wanted to be PDF/Excel(Just select it, don't open it)
Click the "inverse trangle", and then click "Edit in Microsoft InfoPath"
In InfoPath, click "File" > "Save & Send" to save the form as PDF/Excel
In this following thread, there are some code snippets, which will help you to export an form to PDF using custom code:
