Problem using images of CMYK colorspace in PDF file

I am reading a PDF file that contains an image with CMYK colorspace, I am reading the image data correctly but couldn't convert it to RGB color space, as I need to display this image in my own application so please tell me how can I convert it to RGB color space or how can I display it by remaining in the CMYK colors pace. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ali

Adobe Reader will convert for display, there should be no problem if you use Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader will use the CMYK profile from the PDF, or your default profile, and will convert to your default RGB profile for display.

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Flex 4.5 problem using image in Mobile Application (Android)

I have a problem using flex and mobile application...
I have an image with path = "/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg"
Simply using
<s:Image id="image" source="/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg" />
Get me an empty image on device, still using it on computer (desktop build / debug) it works fine...
I have enabled every kind of permission in the app.xml
Why I got this error?

I actually solved the problem using:
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).url;
using instead this one it will work only under windows...
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).nativePath;
I don't know if it's a bug or whatelse, but I think that the source property of Image passing a filename that start with / (/ is root for unix based OS, android, linux, ios, etc), will take is as a relative path instead of complete path...

Problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file.

Hi guys,
I had encounter problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file. The Amount column once the report is genrated to PDF it double the amount reflected in the PDF file report. See sample scenarios below:
Can anybody help me explain this issue how it really happens?
Example:
FROM ORACLE REPORTS6i :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 5,000
2 KEYBOARD 2,000
TO PDF FILE :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 10,000
2 KEYBOARD 4,000
Thank you.

Hi "LawlordsX",
I do understand the issue, something seems to have messed up the Shell Extensions on the 2 Lenovo laptops you talked about.
Could you please check if the 2 m/c(s) have an additional version of Office installed in parellal to Office 2007, say Office 2010 trial pre-installed on them. This can be verified via CONTROL PANEL > PROGRAMS AND FEATURES > Check for the versions of Office installed. If yes, please let me know the additional Office software version/type.
Also, could you be more specific about the bitage of the system, i.e. whether the Windows 7 m/c is 32-bit or 64-bit?
This can be checked from CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > Under "System" section check for "System Type".
If converting multiple files at a time to PDF is an issue, as an alternate you could use FILE > CREATE > BATCH CREATE MULTIPLE FILES to workaround the problem for the time being.
Thanks!

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Problem using image via URL

Hi everybody
I have a problem with loading images via URL into my PDFs.
I am using LCD ES2 Version 9.0.1....
I want to create a PDF which loads images from the internet but it does not work.
So far I have tried to add an image or image field to my PDF in the LCD and populate that image using the Object-->Field-->URL: palett. I put the URL in there like this http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif , tick the "embed image Data" checkbox (also tried with without that just to be sure) and save as Dynamic PDF (I also tried static) but when I open the PDF in adobe reader 9 or 10 or acrobat 9 there is no image showing. I also put the image in a subform and made that subform flowed, as well as the page itself and made the binding global.
I have the form properties - default set to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher", Default Language to JavaScript, PDF Render format to Dynamic PDF.
I also tried using JavaScript events like "form:ready ImageField2.value.#image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" as discribed here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/lc_dynamic_images.pdf but that also does not work.
What am I missing?
Any help would be great and greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks and best regards
Norbert

As far as I can tell, this use case is not allowed because of cross site references related security concerns. The form can refer to the images stored on the same server from where the PDF is served, but the images cannot come from external servers.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Create a single tall image from a multi-page pdf file

I would like to take a multi-pake pdf file, and have all of the pages "appended" from top to bottom edge to create a single tall image. I am a teacher, and I currently do this by hand, I am then able to annotate the entire page and croll down an entire document inside of Photoshop.
Here is an example: I have a pdf with 4 pages. Currently I open the pdf in PS, I end up with 4 images; I adjust the vertical canvas size of one of the images to be 4 times it's original size, then one-by-one I copy the contents of each image to that new tall image and move that layer vertically below the previous one. So the result is say a 1024x6400 pixel image.
I would like to be able to just open the pdf with a script and get this all done in one step.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again c.pfaffenbichler. I had most of it worked out in my own way before you got back to me, but I wasn't able to get the final naming part down.
Like I said, I am a math teacher, and I use photoshop as my whiteboard, and draw with a graphics tablet. So I can print to pdf from any program, now I can import any document into photoshop basically to write on it. So this is wonderful. I have never seen another teacher use PS as a whiteboard in class in this way, so I am most likely the only person in my county or state that would need such a script.
After I got everything worked out, I added some things to the script. Some of my colleagues will use my files as a whiteboard if I send it to them as a tall single page pdf that they can scroll down and write over; so they don't need photoshop. So I have scripted in the saving of that pdf as well. Here are my changes; most of what I changed is in the section commented MY WORK.

Using Excel VBA to Print to PDF File?

Hi, All !!
I have an Excel VBA application that creates Excel reports. These need to be sent external to our company in PDF format. I've downloaded the Acrobat SDK and have found the VB sample for AdobePDFSilent. Unfortunately, it appears that this is written for VB or VB.Net as I don't have any of the data types available that are created in the code. However, from another forum, I've gotten some VB code that appears to do many of the processes included in the SDK sample.
The code below doesn't give me any errors, but no PDF file is created.
My VBA code
Declare Function RegOpenKeyA Lib "advapi32.dll" ( _
    ByVal Key As Long, _
    ByVal SubKey As String, _
    NewKey As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueExA" ( _
    ByVal hKey As Long, _
    ByVal lpValueName As String, _
    ByVal Reserved As Long, _
    ByVal dwType As Long, _
    lpData As Any, _
    ByVal cbData As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" ( _
    ByVal hKey As Long) As Long
Sub TestPrintPDF()
    Dim strDefaultPrinter As String
    Dim strOutFile As String
    Dim lngRegResult As Long
    Dim lngResult As Long
    Dim dhcHKeyCurrentUser As Long
    Dim PDFPath As String
    Const dhcRegSz As Long = 1
1    Workbooks.Open ("\\master\fnshares\bcbcm\Client Management\Client Services\New Account Fees\09 September 2010\3Q10 Rebate Ltrs\Infi\MacroTest\A02.xls")
2    Select Case ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
3        Case 1
4            Sheets(1).Select
5        Case 2
6            Sheets(Array(Sheets(1).Name, Sheets(2).Name)).Select
7        Case 3
8            Sheets(Array(Sheets(1).Name, Sheets(2).Name, Sheets(3).Name)).Select
9        Case 4
10            Sheets(Array(Sheets(1).Name, Sheets(2).Name, Sheets(3).Name, Sheets(4).Name)).Select
11        Case 5
12           Sheets(Array(Sheets(1).Name, Sheets(2).Name, Sheets(3).Name, Sheets(4).Name, Sheets(5).Name)).Select
13      Case 6
14         Sheets(Array(Sheets(1).Name, Sheets(2).Name, Sheets(3).Name, Sheets(4).Name, Sheets(5).Name, Sheets(6).Name)).Select
15 End Select
16 dhcHKeyCurrentUser = &H80000001
17 strDefaultPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter
18 PDFPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator 'The directory in which you want to save the file
19 strOutFile = PDFPath & Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) & ".pdf" 'Change the pdf file name if required. This should have the fully qualified path
20 lngRegResult = RegOpenKeyA(dhcHKeyCurrentUser, "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl", lngResult)
21 lngRegResult = RegSetValueEx(lngResult, Application.Path & "\Excel.exe", 0&, dhcRegSz, ByVal strOutFile, Len(strOutFile))
22 lngRegResult = RegCloseKey(lngResult)
23 ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF"
24 Application.ActivePrinter = strDefaultPrinter
25 ActiveWorkbook.Close False
End Sub
From what I can determine, the lines 17 & 24 combined basically accomplish the same thing as the SaveandUpdateDefaultPrinter function in the SDK (get and save the current default printer and return it to that default after printing the PDF).
Line 20 opens the Registry key for Distiller\PrinterJobControl which is done in part of the ConvertFile function in the following SDK code.
SDK Code
            Dim objDistillerRegKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot
            Dim strDistillerSubKey As String = "SOFTWARE\\Adobe\\Acrobat Distiller\\PrinterJobControl"
            'Open Current User's Distiller Subkey for writing
            objDistillerRegKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(strDistillerSubKey, True)
Line 21 sets the Registry key for Excel with the name of the PDF file to output which also appears to be done in part of the ConvertFile function in the following code.
SDK Code
           If (Not objDistillerRegKey Is Nothing) Then     'set reg key value for this app and file
                objDistillerRegKey.SetValue(strAppPath, strOutputFile)
                objDistillerRegKey.Close()
            End If
I have verified, using RegEdit, that this Registry key does get set with the desired output filename.
Line 23 prints the Excel file to PDF when done manually (this was recorded using the Excel Macro Recorder). This should be comparable to the PrintToAdobePDF function in the SDK as below.
SDK Code
    Private Sub PrintToAdobePDF(ByVal InputfilePath As String)
        'Prints InputFilePath to the AdobePDF printer.
        'Since we just gathered all this info programmatically,
        'this function assumes the file is present, that it has an
        'associated application and that the current user has print privileges.
        'Define properties for the print process
        Dim pProcInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
        pProcInfo.FileName = InputfilePath
        pProcInfo.Verb = "Print"
        'Make process invisible
        pProcInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
        pProcInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
        'start print process
        Dim pMyProc As Process = Process.Start(pProcInfo)
        pMyProc.WaitForExit()
    End Sub
These are some of the statements I can't do because I don't have a ProcessStartInfo type. What am I doing wrong or NOT doing that the PDF file is not created? I hope I've described my situation in enough, but not too much detail. Thanks for your help.

Reinhard & Karl Heinz,
Thank you both for your responses and willingness to work with me on this problem. This is driving me crazy & is getting very frustrating. It seems that I've tried everything that people have suggested (I've also posted on a VB Forum that I subscribe to) and I'm basically doing what works for everyone else but doesn't work for me. I've got to be close.
Reinhard, regarding your last post, it doesn't appear to be a one-time setting. Everytime I come into the Printers Property box (even after I've printed a PDF document manually, that option about system & document fonts is ALWAYS turned on. If it is a registry setting, please let me know how to turn it off. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
Karl Heinz, I've tried that based on my initial post (see the code there). Since your post, I tried it again. I get the same result, NO FILE is produced anywhere.
I wish I could post pictures, but evidently I can't. So, I going to post first my code (in case you want to try to recreate my problem), then the values of the variables in that code when I run it (so you can I have everything set correctly as far as I know), and finally, the values of the Registry entries that I have after I run it. So, please bear with me as the post may be a little long.

Note: There are a couple of other entries for documents that I've printed manually that I didn't include. Also, the last entry above, contains the value of the folder that I last manually "printed" to.
I've also noticed that I have a Registry SubKey under PrinterJobControl called DownloadFonts. However, the only entry there is:
     (Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
Is this the registry key you mentioned, Reinhard?
As you can see in my code, I have 3 different methods that I've tried to print. The first one defaults everything after selecting the Acrobat PDF printer. The second sets the output filename as a PDF (basically what you suggested, Karl Heinz). The third method calls a procedure that prints to a PostScript file & then uses Distiller to print from that file to pdf. This is the method Reinhard suggested.
With the first 2 methods, I get NO error messages, but no file(s) show up. With the 3 method, I get the error about the Fonts checkbox, but it creates a 0K PostScript file. When I skip that statement and run the other 2 statements, I get a log file that says the PostScript file is empty and not PDF file was created.
YIKES... What's going on? Thanks again for attempting to help me!!!

Using image data read out from a file

Hi,
Having used the GetBitmapFromFileEx(), GetBitmapInfoEx() to acquire the necessary image data (most of them is the .png format), then using the FileToArray() to put the image data in my own binary file, e.g., "mypicture.dat". My idea is that whenever need to use the image, I can read out it from mypicture.dat and then display it on a pcture control. But when loading the image data to the memory, I have no idea to map the image data buffer to an image resource, which can let to acquire a bitmap ID. Because from the cvi's image processing function lists, it seems that must through such as the GetBitmapFromFileEx(), GetBitmapFromFile() to acquire the image data buffer and the bitmap ID, then using SetCtrlBitmap() to diplay it. Is there any way to resolve the problem? Thanks.

Well, to read and write raw data file informations from a PNG image you must adhere to this standard. As a source of informations you may take a look to this Wikipedia page and to the links in this page from the PNG Home site.
So the problem is: does your application worth the effort to study this documentation?
Edit: FYI part of this job has been already made in CVI by Guillaume Dargaud for his ReadSavePNG instrument driver. It's been a long time since I have used this instrument, as I/O operations on PNG files have been integrated into CVI since release 8 and support for JPEG files in release 7 or so. Nevertheless I saw functions in that instrument for accessing raw data in a PNG file so you may find them useful for your needs.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Problems with opening Adobe Reader 9 or pdf files

Hi,
Can someone please help me resolve this problem? I had no problem using Adobe Reader 8 but since removing Adobe Reader 8 and download the updated Adobe Reader 9, I cannot open any pdf files or the Adobe Reader 9 (on desktop) without receiving the following error message:
"Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close". I tried several times to download and reinstall Adobe Reader 9 without any success. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for coming back to me. Remember when I've received the error message previously "Error 1327. Invalid Drive: E:\", I've decided to try inserting my flash drive into the E drive (since I've downloaded the Adobe file previously from my flash drive to my desktop pc) and then try removing the Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and it works!!!! I am now working with the earlier version ie. Adobe Reader 8 which works fine. I would like to try again to download the Adobe 9.3.4 but have previously tried 3 times and failed. What else can I try to do to download, install and run this latest version without experiencing the same problem over again? Thanks.
Regards,
Choichai
