Printing a modifiable pdf with long answers.
I’m trying to print out a modifiable pdf which has several answers too long to be read on screen without scrolling.
Would be happy to subscribe to the pdf to Word or Excel export service if I knew it would create a file containing complete printable answers, not just what appears before scrolling.
Hope that makes sense… also, if there is another way to accomplish that, please let me know.
Thanks.
I am not sure the contents of the fields would copy over to WORD. You could export the data to an Excel file or such and that might provide what you need. I think it will give the field name and the data.

Acrobat has NEVER been free. Reader (formerly called "Acrobat Reader") has always been free, but the Creation/Editing software has always had a price tag. -
Printing from a .pdf with B 7.0 NW04s
We've setup the Adobe Document Server and can print to a pdf with BI 7.0 NW04s SP13 . Now I need to change the template or settings for the pdf output to add report title and the company logo. It doesn't seem to be one of the standard templates set in the IMG .
Looks like all the info is noted in this note:

How do I print to "Adobe PDF" with an encrypted pdf?
I've created a form in livecycle and I want the security to be set up as such:
1) A password is required to edit the form in LiveCycle AND
2) People can print the pdf to "Adobe PDF"
I've been able to create livecycle password access, but when I put a password on the LiveCycle Access (currently: Printing Allowed: High resolution, Changes Allowed: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields), I get this error when I try to print it to PDF:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
How can I edit my form so I can do both.It´s quite some time I was solving this.. but as I already wrote and I can somehow remember(as far I´m not working on this platform for 3 years): printing 150dpi is one thing - it´s printing like a simple pic. Printing in hi-res works in completely different way - pdf must be redistilled with pdf distiller or how it was called. Means, there must be additional step before printing the pdf form. Cant remember the details.

Print book to PDF with 8 by 11 and 11 by 17 pages in same book?
Hello,
I am using FrameMaker 8 (Structured Mode) and am trying to generate
a PDF with both 8 1/2 by 11 and 11 by 17 pages in the same book.
The 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages work good, but the 11 by 17 inch pages are generating as 11 by 8 1/2 (landscape view).
Is there an easy way to get my foldout drawings to come into my book (with the correct dimensions, when there are also 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages in the same book?
Thanks in advance.
JimJames,
When you generate the book, you must select the largest sheet size
used in the book, i.e. 11x17. FM then outputs the all of the pages
centred on this sheet and if using SaveAsPDF (or enabling Generate
Acrobat Data when printing), will automatically crop the pages to the
appropriate size(s). -
Reader not showing pdf with long file names in IE8 for standard user
Hi,
I have this problem for standard users, that is, not Admin level. Admin level users have no problems.
If a web site opens up a pdf file with java, usually in a new window, and the file name is very long (I haven't figured out how long, but visually long) then the reader plug-in won't work and opens a blank page. If the file name is small then there is no problem, and reader opens the pdf without problem.
Interestingly, if I edit the document name (say for example the link has something on the end like "&Doc_Type=Statement" which is obviously not part of the document name but part of the SQL used to find the document by the web page) then reader will open the file no problem.
Again, this doesn't happen for Administrative level users.
Any ideas on how to fix?I'll crosspost to the reader forum.
Yes, reader works in all other situations. -
Pages Exports to PDF/Printer Saves as PDF with weird characters
This situation is getting worse for me, not better, the more I'm using Pages.
I have made several files, nothing special, just used Pages for layout and the ease of using colors and shapes.
When I Export as PDF, sometimes random text boxes end up having all spaces replaced with exclamation marks. Not always the same one, not always all of the text fields on my page, and so far, never the title. When I "Print to PDF," which used give me an error and say I had to export only but now works, I get the same error. Even a character I used 5 times on the page, the first 4 were fine and the 5th had turned to an exclamation mark. Just for kicks when I could not get my file to work last night, I exported to Word (looked fine) and then went to Save as PDF... same exclamation marks. Physically printing the files has no errors.
Last night I rebooted my MacBook and let it sit a bit and tried again, and both files I was trying to export came out fine. Other times this has happened though, my computer was neither warm nor a few hours from the last reboot.
Methinks that this is related to making PDFs on my computer, maybe that connection between printer driver and making PDFs, but it's also got to be Pages-related. Except for the file I exported to Word, I have no problems with Print to PDF for anything else- Word, Excel, web pages, etc. What should I check/do to try and diagnose the problem? Since the things I do in Pages are generally on a deadline, I need to be proactive about the solution. Rebooting is not going to save me every time.It could be a font cache problem. You might try using a utility to clear the caches or try doing it by hand. Try a Google search on "clearing font caches" and Leopard, for example. I believe something like Onyx will do it though I haven't used that myself.
I'm not sure about this - it is just a hunch based on some things I've read about problems with Leopard and pdfTeX.

How do I change the print orientation for PDFs with mixed orientation pages?
I'm sure this is a fairly basic and easily solvable issue, but I've been searching for a solution and can't find one for the life of me.
The issue: I'm printing a PDF that will be bound book-style, and the file contains pages with mixed orientations (both portrait and landscape). When I print the file, the landscape pages point the wrong way, to the left of the spine, when they should be pointing down to the right of the spine. I've adjusted the print settings for multiple test rounds, and nothing seems to work. Here's a visualization of the problem (apologies for the bad Paint art):
What the book is doing now when it prints:
What I need it to do:
Here's the caveat: I cannot just rotate all the landscape pages counter-clockwise in Acrobat for ease of printing, because it would remove the ability to scroll through the file quickly in Reader or a Web browser, and the same file needs to be both easily readable digitally AND print correctly.
Is this adjustment a print setting? Is this a tool I'm overlooking within Acrobat? Is this outside the scope of what is adjustable? All advice is welcome, and please feel free to ask any follow-up questions if I explained my problem unclearly.If you are trying booklet printing, try to rotate the pages as needed before you print to the booklet. If you are print booklets without using professional imposition software, then Quite Imposing or Quite Imposing Plus should be considered. I believe they offer a demo version.

How do I hide the SWF play button when printing an embedded PDF with a SWF
When I print the PDF there is a big play button over some text. Can it be hidden?
Is there are a way of resizing a SWF once embedded? It's a pain to work with.
Sometimes, although the SWF is transparent and embedded as transparent but when printed it buts a grey box behind.
Any ideas Adobe?If the annotation isn't activated, you are printing the JPEG poster image instead - which doesn't have transparency. By default, poster images created from the media will have the play icon burned in, just choose your own image.

Printing InDesign to PDF with missing links
I received a document with lots of missing links for images (and I don't have access to those images)
- but when I printed it to a PDF the images are all there - how can this be? - not that I'm complaining when something works - but need to understand why it worked. Thanks for any helpIf it looks like the stop sign with the ? of doom you are just printing the proxy. If it looks like the Mac PICT icon it is embedded. If there is nothing it is linked and useable. One can generally export a pdf regardless of whether it is the best idea.
There is a 4th type of way to put an image in that doesn't show anywhere, though I'm not aware of how that works in terms or breakage. That's likely what you are getting from Word. It is not best practices as it can lead to file corruption when document bloat gets too big, but in small doses where nothing is color critical it isn't gonna hurt anything. -
Print - save as pdf with Aplescript
Hello,
I would like to know how to script : "Print" with a "save as pdf" on application.
ie: I would like to print a web page from Safari, and select save as pdf to save the page in a pdf format document.
(I don't want to use Adobe...)
Thanks a lot.I realized that it still might be a little confusing to figure out how to use that Automator action. So I will give you a step-by-step of mine.
Get Specified URLs->Download URL as PDFs(this is the action I linked before)(Note: I set the where to a temporary folder where no other file will ever be)->Pause for 5 seconds->Move Finder Items(Select a destination folder where you want to have your PDF in permanently)->Run Applescript (A)-> Run Applescript (B) -> Run Applescript (C)
Applescript (A)
--For whatever strange reason when you create the PDF it names it some random name so I rename the PDF after the current date in the YYYYMMDD format so that you can easily find the PDF on a later date.
on run {input}
repeat with i from 1 to (count of items in input)
tell application "Finder"
set thisItem to (item i of input as string)
set thisName to (the name of (file thisItem))
set newName to (do shell script "date '+%Y%m%d'" & ".pdf") as string
set the name of the file thisItem to newName
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run
Applescript (B)
--This script deletes the file from the original downloaded location. You have to do this because the previous applescript renamed the PDF and copied it to a new location.
do shell script "rm /path/to/file/that/was/set/in/the/DownloadURLsasPDF/action/*.pdf"
Applescript (C)
--Prints the PDF
set theLocation to ("path:to:new:location")
set fileName to (do shell script "date '+%Y%m%d'" & ".pdf")
set theFile to theLocation & fileName as text
tell application "Finder"
print file theFile
end tell
I hope this works for you. I use it every day to save a PDF of stock reports. If you have any questions feel free to ask. -

Print Report to PDF with columns vertical instead of horizontal
I enabled report printing for a report region but the PDF lists the columns horizontally even though the columns are listed vertically on the report page. Is there a way to list the columns vertically on the PDF so that it matches the layout on the report page. Thanks for your help.
Hi hhsu68
Wondering how you are arranging columns listed vertically on the report page?
You mean just selecting any vertical report template, or
you mean just column headers are vertical and the data as normal (horizontal)?
If its the second case could you please let me know how you did that?
Off course I would also like to know if you have found a solution to your problem as well.
Thank you

When I open the firefox application and fill Google in with a question, I get several options. When I click on the option I want, all I get is an empty window. Why can't I access information?
Is this a problem with all Google search results or only links that directly open PDFs?
I can't recall whether Firefox 3.5 had the applications tab here:
Firefox > Preferences
If it does, try searching for PDF and see whether related content types have become associated with the wrong application.
