Print transparent object in Word to pdf and then to printer ugly.

Dear All,
I have a Word document in which I have a bitmap figure. Over this bitmap I have drawn a green 50% transparent rectangle. When printing this directly from Word to the printer everything is fine, if I print it first to a pdf using Acrobat I get a pdf that looks allright (the transparency is simulated by a very fine checker board pattern) but when I then print this pdf to my printer I get interference in the transparent region, which makes this unusable. My guess is that the printer is trying to print this fine pattern and fails. The solution would be that when printing to a pdf the pdf should contain a transparent rectange instead of a checker board pattern.
Is there anybody with the same problem or someone who knows how to solve this? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Vincent

Problem solved!!
Besides the large bitmap I also had an Excel graph pasted into my Word document. This also gave problems. The solution was to shrink the size of the bitmap by first croping it and that pasting it into the Word document, and the graph from Excel has the be pasted as Windows metafile picture. Then using the PDF button in Word creates a pdf with the correct transparency objects. I cannot print the pdf right now because my printer is down but I have no doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot!!
Vincent

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

Why am I having conversion errors from Word to PDF using the CreatePDF printer?

I just subscribed to PDF Pack. I downloaded and installed the Adobe CreatePDF printer under Administrator. When I print a Word document, I select the CreatePDF Printer and it appears to work. However, when I open the CreatePDF queue, the document is in the queue flagged with an Error but no error message. The document never appears in my file list at the PDF Pack service site when I login. What's going on?

HI,
Please restart your Windows then try to print your file to CreatePDF Desktop printer. If you still see the same error in Status please let me know what OS you are using with the printer.
If your system is Win 7 SP1 then please see about a hotfix to update inetpp.dll file.
For the hotfix :http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/createpdf-desktop-printer-windows-7.html.
If Adobe PS pringer driver is not yet installed on your system then see below:
1. Open Start menu > Devices and Printer ( or from control panel) and select "Add a printer"
2. Select "Add a local printer"
3. Select "Use an existing port: LPT1: (Printer port)
4. Select any company and any PS printer with Adobe PS printer driver(not clone) such as Xerox and Xerox Phasor 6120PS
Note:If you have Win 7 on 64 bit PC, Adobe PS printer drivers(PSCRIPT5.DLL and a few other files) are installed at C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder

Print to pdf and then email...

I frequently print a document to pdf and then email it as an attachment. The print dialog box allows me to save as pdf or email as pdf. I would like a print plugin that does both actions - allows me to name and save the pdf to a specified location and then adds it as an attachment to a new email. Any ideas?

Create a Print Plug in Automator, such as the below, which does exactly as you want. When you set it up, make sure you click the Options that I clicked and this will allow you to name the PDF, and save it wherever you want to.
I named my Print Plugin "PDF File & Email"

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a Image format(JPEG,bmp,tiff) to PDF and then to PDF/A. I could able to convert Image to PDF successfully.
I'm getting the below error while converting the PDF(that was generated) to PDF/A.
Caused by: com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: Input Document is a already flat PDF Document
at com.adobe.printSubmitter.PrintServer.transformPDF(PrintServer.java:307)

Error OCCURRED: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException: Internal error.
Please give me the solution to convert PDF to PDF/A?

I've just read a footnote in the API documentation which indicates that the transformPDF function cannot be used for this purpose:
"GS_Enterprise said on Nov 24, 2007 at 12:03 PM :
Please note that the parameter "inPdfDoc" for transformPDF assumes that the stream content is an XFA-based PDF, and that it's not an XFA-based PDF with a PDF background (also known as "XFA foreground"). In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

Do I begin by scanning my illustration in a pdf and then save it as a png on illustrator?

Do I begin by scanning my artwork as pdf and then saving it as a png on illustrator?

Depends on what you want to do with the file. Most scanning software can scan as tiff, png, jpg and sometimes pdf. In each of these cases the resulting file is usually a raster file. The exception is software that can convert text into edible text known as OCR, or have some time of auto trace feature for converting artwork into vector objects. This is where pdf would shine compared to the other formats. Tiff is the only remaining one that can also save live editable text.
As I said once the pdf is imported into illustrator, what format you choose to save from there will depend on what you plan on doing next with it. Ai, pdf, psd or tiff would make good candidates for master files. (A file you can re-edit at a later date with no worry of degradation) And then each of these formats have their pros and cons.

I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss. When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version. How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

Hi heathers,
You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

JSP that converts office extensions to pdf and then upload them

Hi there !
Im trying to convert office extensions ( .xls, .ppt, etc) to pdf and then upload the resulting file to a server .
currectly im using the upload solution posted by the user anna_DRA here : http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672874
and as for the conversion im using a solution which uses OpenOffice's lib to do the conversion.I'm going to post the codes of my JSP and my HTML ( which just contains the form to get the file to be converted and uploaded).
observation: the point which is giving me headaches is how to get the file sent by my form, convert it into a File object, use my conversion tool and then deliver it to my upload tool so it can be stored.... i cant seem to get the File object from the request object ( tried getattribute and it returns null....) .
observation':I do know about and how to use MVC but my boss asked me to make this work with just one JSP or a JSP and a HTML.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Hello TSN,
Test Screen Name wrote:
Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
Thanks for your response.
I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
Take care

Creating a link to a pdf and then being able to come back to first pdf

hi there!
I want to be able to create a link in my InDesign document to the glossary (another InDesign document). Of course I am exporting as PDFs and then the user would be able to close the glossary and come back to the first document in the place that they were when they left. This seems like it should be easy, but I can't find a way to come back. Acrobat doesn't have a back button, and when you close the glossary you also close the first document.The user can open the document again, but then they have to find their place.
Is there a way to link to another document and have it open in a new Acrobat window? That's what I really want.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi Steve, thanks very much for that. Wow, I feel lucky to get one of the best. I've seen some of your videos.
Okay, but javascript, eh? Hmm. Okay, I'm listening. Can you give me a bit more? Point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
