Problem converting a .ps file into pdf

I have a .ps file that was created with TeX (I don't know which version, but the file was created in the early '90s) and when I open it in Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, only the graphics appear, no text.
How do I get the text to appear?

> Although, it's not clear to me why changing the output format would make the text appear?
Makes no sense to me either. Which is the setting for which it works,
and the one for which it doesn't work. Not that we can probably get
much further with that one.
>
>However, I have another issue. The pages come out in reverse order: the last page is first and the first page is last.
This implies that the PS file was written that way. This is common for
when printers print face up, so the final results are collated.

How to convert a .alsx file into pdf
Iam facing this problem since many days please resolve it

Thankls in adavance

>But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
>(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
(Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

Hello,
if you create your doc files by the help of WORD, you could use a Microsoft add on (it depends of your WORD Version).

Converting Multiple .EPS files into .PDF

Dear Forum: We have tried converting multiple .eps files into PDF using article 325977. This article in Adobe help is really designed to convert .ai files into either .eps or.pdf, our situation is to convert multiple .eps files into PDF. Everytime we run the macro, it simply takes the eps file and saves it as another eps file and does not convert. We have a "Save As" step that we have in the macro that is set to "Save As" PDF, but it still does not work. What are we doing wrong?

How can i convert a .indd file into pdf

please help on this
How can i convert .indd file to pdf file using .net c#
please share some code sample for a better help

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.

Trouble converting Word 2010 file into PDF

I have a file that was original composed in Word 2007. It has a box with dialog on the front page (think a disclaimer on the cover of a brochure). I use Acrobat 9 Pro. Converting that file was perfect. I recently upgraded to Word 2010 and I open, edit and save the document in compatibility mode. When I print to Adobe (or alternatively convert the file), the disclaimer in the text box doesn't convert properly. The rest of the document looks fine, but the text in the box is smushed to the far right of the box. I have no idea what to do. Another person I sent the file to has no issues converting from Word 2007. Is there a known issue with Word 2010? Is there a fix or plug-in? Thanks all.

Bon dias,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Adobe has not formally tested Acrobat 9 software with Microsoft Office 2010 applications and does not certify the behavior of using the two together.
The Acrobat ribbons, also known as Acrobat PDFMaker, do not work with Office 2010 applications the same way they do with Office 2007. Customers using Acrobat 9.0 through 9.2 will see the Acrobat ribbon in Office 2010 applications; however, attempting to use PDFMaker functionality from the Acrobat ribbon can result in unexpected behavior. Customers who update to Acrobat 9.3 or later will not see the Acrobat 9 ribbon in Office 2010 applications.
Adobe plans to add support for its Acrobat PDFMaker technology for Office 2010 in the next major version of Acrobat.*
We have not made any announcements about updating Acrobat 9 PDFMakers for Office 2010.

Problem with Funktion "Combine Files into PDF" on Samba Fileshares

Hi!
When i try to combine Files from a Sambashare witch is connected as V: (\\Server\all_x) then i can choose the Files from the location but when i klick "Combine Files" after a while the ErrorMessage "Cannot open U:\_x\test.doc" Check if you have permission.
Why suddenly Adobe Acrobat will read the File form U: instead of V: ?
The Path before "Underline" (Underscore) was removed : "all_x" -> "_x"
When i renamed the Sambshare to allx without "_" everything is ok.
I can simulate this failure on every Windows XP Workstation. (SP3+all Updates)
Adobe Acrobat X 10.0.0
Samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9
Is this an issue in samba or in Adobe Acrobat?
Update:
This only happens when an other fileshare exists with same name at the beginning.
example:
U: -> \\servername\alle
V: -> \\servername\allev or alle_v (he underscore has no relevance....)
when v: is \\servrname\examplepdf or any other name exept "alle" at the beginning everything is ok.
very strange...
greetings

Live cycle ES2 can covert Frame maker file into PDF??

Hi All
good day!!
I have read that live cycle can covert farme maker files into pdf .
is it true . we are using live cycle ES2 and we are going to upgrade FM 8 (unix) to FM 11 .
can we convert frame maker files into pdf using Live cycle ES2????
you response highly appiciate!!
thank you
ramesh babu

Possibly, but ES2 is only specified to convert FM7.2 & FM8 files. FM11 might work, but you would have to test it and it's most likely not supported by Adobe in this mode. See: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/pdfgenerator/formats.html
If you only need to create PDF output from existing FM files, then Datazone's DZbatcher or Omni Systems fmbatch (part of the mif2go product) utilities may suffice.
