Problem with missing column text - PDF to Word conversion

I just bought Acrobat Standard X and have a serious deadline to meet. Problem is I converted a PDF with newspaper style columns to Word XP (2003) version and the first column of two will not budge with the right hand margin. The text is there when prompted but some of the endings to words are being hidden. I have tried putting an 'equal column width' command and it still doesn't work. I have selected individual paragraphs to try and stretch out the margin to justify with the previous page alignment (which appears ideal) and it still will not do as I want. On the ruler line, there is a blue gap between the columns and I can't get rid of it. So, the first column insists on staying narrower than it should be and if I stretch it out to align with the other pages, it loses words I have typed until it reverts back to its original width. Any ideas would be most welcome. This is a right pain in the butt. Thanks.

Alas your expectation is not reflective of what the application is capable of.
Acrobat's OCR has no concept of "styles". Nor does OCR provide Tagged content. As Acrobat's OCR does not incorporate a "zone" approach to character recognition the manual tagging of OCR output is non-trivial (and yes you'd have to do it manually).
Having the PDF content exported to Word you'll more quickly arrive at your "destination" by manual application of the desired core Word headings / styles. Now if *all* paper documents were the same type layout / format / etc it might be possible for a Word developer to script something to apply headings / styles programmatically.
Be well....

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...

Problem with checkbox column in matrix

Hello.
I have a little problem with checkbox column in matrix.
Column is binded to the UserData.
It has ValOn="Y", ValOff="N".
I use C++. It is wird problem. In matrix I have 10 columns - scrollbar role and if You want see checkbox column, You must role to the right. If this column is on the screen, and I use:
checkcell->PutChecked(VARIANT_TRUE);
then the checkbox is cheched, and if the checkbox isn`t on the screen and I use this comment - it nothing happening.
I tried to use ValOn="Y", PutChecked...
The problem i solved if the column is on the screen - if the column is first in matrix or second, but if it`s last I have a big problem.
My column with checkbox is not editable, but I tried to make it editable, check it, and then make it uneditable - the same efect.
How can I solve it ?
Sorry for my english.
Kamil Wydra

Hello Kamil,
I am not sure about your problem, but here is an example of how to use checkbox in UI API.
First, create the matrix with checkbox column in Screen painter, and the output is an xml file, like this. Type as 121 indicates that it is a check box.
- <column AffectsFormMode="0" backcolor="-1" description="" disp_desc="0" editable="0" right_just="0" title="Rented" type="121" uid="Rented" val_off="N" val_on="Y" visible="1" width="41">
<databind alias="U_RENTED" databound="1" table="@VIDS" />
<ExtendedObject />
Second, bind the column to table from DB. This is a bug of 2004 Screen Painter, so if you are using 2005 Screen Painter, there is no problem.
Third, when you open the form, you can check and uncheck the cell.
BTW, please set the editable of the column to true.
Hope this helps,
Nick

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

Problems with the Widget "Text Ticker"

Hello, I have a problem with the widget "Text ticker". I tried to put more then one text ticker on my site, but it doesn't work, when I look in Muse it looks like this:
and when I look in the preview only the first text ticker works...maybe it is not possible to have more then one text ticker on one site?
Thank you.

It seems you are using the same name for all the ticker instances on page.
You need to have unique names for each of the ticker you want on a single page. Tickers with duplicate names will not work.
Cheers,
Vikas

[svn:fx-trunk] 8452: - Fix flicker problem with constraint bound text that is being autoSized.

Revision: 8452
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-07-08 08:38:32 -0700 (Wed, 08 Jul 2009)
Log Message:
- Fix flicker problem with constraint bound text that is being autoSized. If the remeasure is done in a 2nd pass you will see a flicker as all the objects are moved to accommodate the reflowed text.
- Fix data binding issue with text setter.
- Rework measure() to accommodate implicit autoSize.
If explicitWidth or widthInChars specified and explicitHeight or heightInLines specified, or for now, blockProgression != "tb", the text has fixed dimensions and is not auto-sized.
If no text and width specified, but no height, start at specified width and one line high and grow taller.
If no text and height specified, start at 1 char wide with the specified height and grow wider.
If neither width nor height specified, and toFit lineBreaks, start at explicitMaxWidth, or default maxWidth of 160, and grow taller.
If neither width nor height specified, and explicit lineBreaks width is unlimited and can grow taller.
These are further constrained by min/max Width and Height except in the case that explicitWidth or explicitHeight are specified.
- Change default maxWidth for RichText and SimpleText to 160 to match RET. Previously it was 10000. This is used for
text with toFit lineBreaks if a width isn't specified.
QA Notes: 12 or so TextGraphic tests fail because of the new default maxWidth.

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

4.1.1 SDK Problems with missing xpacket tags in sidecar XMP files

The current 4.1.1 SDK has problems with sidecar XMP files that don't have the xpacket headers and trailers, i.e:
<?xpacket begin='ï»¿' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?>
<?xpacket end='w'?>
is missing. Now, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS2/CS3 does not export these xpackets in sidecar XMP files.
The standard, http://www.aiim.org/documents/standards/xmpspecification.pdf, is also very vague about it all:
● Write external metadata as though it were embedded and then had the XMP Packets
extracted and catenated by a postprocessor.
The grammar is strange(past tense had) and the spec implies that the xpacket should be extracted and again catenated... Someone should review this document and clearly state if xpacket statements should be in sidecar files or not. I suspect myself that they should be there, but the standard is very vague.
Anyway, there are two places in the SDK code where changes might be needed:
XMPFiles::Initialize has XMP_Asserts in case the xpacket header/trailer is missing, but the underlying assert is only active in debug builds.
XMPScanner::PacketMachine::FindNextPacket () also has in its truth table the assumption that the xpackets exist.
There could be even other places in the code that assumes that the xpacket tags are present in all files, which includes text XMP sidecar files.
Anyway.
a) Shouldn't bridge export the xpacket tags? Same with any other application?
b) If the spec is vague, then the SDK should not assume that the xpacket tags are present.
Any comments? Has someone already fixed this issue as I suspect a lot of apps using the the XMP SDK would break concerning reading XMP sidecar files? Thx, Kent

I was able to work around the problem by creating a mapped view of the .xmp file (this creates an array in memory backed by the file on disk, so there's no need to read the file into a separate internal buffer), and constructing the SXMPMeta object directly from the buffer. (The ctor for that class calls ParseFromBuffer, so this is the same thing as was suggested by other messages in this thread.)
It seems that Adobe needs to do one of these things:
(1) say that Bridge CS3 has a bug, and agree that Bridge CS3 should include a proper xpacket header when writing xmp sidecar files
(2) say that the XMP Toolkit has a bug, and that the SDK should be able to parse sidecar files without an xpacket header, and agree to fix the toolkit
(3) say that Bridge CS3 and the XMP Toolkit behave as expected, but then provide a sequence of steps by which users of the XMP Toolkit are expected to read xmp sidecar files written by Bridge CS3
Does Bridge CS4 write an xpacket header to the xmp sidecar files?
Maybe what I could do is create a custom file handler for .xmp sidecar files, so I could use the SXMPFiles for everything, instead of having to special-case .xmp files.
My needs are pretty modest though, and it might be just as simple to use the MS DOM-based XML parser for load the xmp sidecar file. I bet I could get the data I need (only the "Rating" for now) using a simple XPath expression.

Problems with the "Create a PDF" tab

I have a customer who is trying to create a pdf from Word using the "create a pdf" tab. The PDF is created but only the colored boxes behind his text show up. He is running Win7, Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI (with the latest update). The same thing happens if he uses the "print to pdf" option. The Word "Save as pdf" works fine.
Word Document (image below)
PDF (image below)

It appears to be some sort of incorrect layering issue. You can fix the problem by selecting the Edit Text & Images command in Acrobat XI and right clicking on the boxes and selecting the Arrange command.
I've seen this issue occur with older .doc files opened in newer versions of Word. One thing you might try is to save out the word file to another format like RTF (make a backup first) and then resave a .docx before creating the PDF.

Problem with Mail Merge to PDF

Hi there
I'm having problems with the mail merge to PDF feature of Acrobat XI, in that the process fails part way through and displays the error message 'Acrobat PDFMaker was not able to mail merge the document':
This process used to work, and still works for one of my colleagues. However I have tried using different PCs (32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7), different versions of Word (2010 and 2013) and different types of data source (Excel and Access) without success.
I would really appreciate any further suggestions.
Thanks
Rianne

Hi RV,
pls. take a look to note 1226758 under point 4 where it says:
4. Call SPAD and choose Settings -> Spool System -> Other. Select 'SP01: Number of Columns for List Display from Format'.
Maybe you have to take care about point 1-3 , depending on which supp.package level you are. for my i have only changed the settings in SPAD, now it works.
best regards, Martin

Hi - Go ahead and try the steps in this document. It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage. What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly. If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
Hope that helps.

Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
…and Pages 5 is buggy.
So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

Problems with FOP/Apache - Apex PDF printing

Hello,
I have configured
Apex 3.0.1
iAS 10.1.3.x (http + modplsql)
OC4J 10.1.3.3 (stand alone)
FOP for PDF printing
RDBMS 9.2.0.8 64bits (Solaris)
following the OTN recipee and this setup does not seem to work for all cases.
For instance, using the Apex admin interface, I go to the monitoring page :
Home -> Monitor Page -> Login Attempts
And click on the Print link (left bottom corner of the page) , it works o.k, the PDF is generated correctly.
However, if I go to
Home -> utilities -> Object Reports -> Table Storage Sizes
and click on the Print link, it does not work. A pdf file is generated with the following text
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>500 Internal Server Error</H1>
<PRE>Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.</PRE>

I do not think it is related to a config/installation issue. It seems a parsing issue with the SQL stmt being executed, but it works for some SQL code and not for other.
Some users did notice this problem this morning when testing the new PDF printing.
Any ideas ?
