Problem with PDF export format
Using Mavericks and the latest version of Numbers, I have a problem when exporting a spreadsheet as a PDF. The spreadsheet is very simple and everything in it is formatted with a border around each cell (more like a 10 line/10 column table with borders). When I export it as a PDF the borders are there, but bolded, and the grid lines in the rest of the readsheet lines are also displayed in the PDF.
If I export the same spreadsheet to a PDF from Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, only the items that have borders show up, as I want it to be. Is there anyway to surpress the grid lines from showing up in the export from Numbers? All I want to display in the PDF are the cells with content that are bolded...not the grid lines in the rest of the spreadsheet.
OK, I've figured out how to hide the cell borders when I export to PDF, but still there is a single border around the entire page...about where the margins are. It's light gray, so obviously another grid line, but this one I can't figure out how to hide.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)
Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some whereThe helper class using IText:

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export
Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

Big problem with PDF export from CS4
Create a document with facing pages. Then place a rectangle or any other object on the master through the whole spread. Place the text or any other object on the master over the first rectangle on the both pages. Now, when exporting pdf, the text on the left pages is disappeared becaouse it covered by the copy of the rectangle. The variation of the problem is when using any tansparencies, then they become "less transparent" on the left pages because of this strange dublicating.
There is an archive in attachment that contains indd and pdf files with this problem.Thanks, it works, but bug is still bug. In some cases it's impossible to do this, for example my recent case: it was text with huge outer glow on master pages. Outer glow from right page dublicates to the left and covered left text, and there's no way to move effect to another layer separately. The solution was to detach these texts from masters, but it's also unhandy solution.
It's hard to detect such cases unless it happen with big elements. -
When exporting to pdf in Photoshop CC in CMYK, Acrobat opens it with a blank page and the message that it's out of memory. Exporting the same file as RGB opens fine. Any ideas? Exporting as CMYK has worked fine in all the previous versions of Photoshop and still does in CS6.
This is still a problem unfortunately: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265266

OrgChart : Problem with PDF export
Hello,
I have installed Nakisa OrgChart 2.0 accelerated. I also have installed the export pack 3.0.
When exporting pdf, I'm getting an error message. Nakisa logs show the following entries :
ERROR: PDF : generatePDF : HTML render is blank.
ERROR: Printing : generatePDF : PDF conversion failed, no output PDF file was created.
Have any of you ever encountered such issue?
Any feedback greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
LaurentHi Laurent,
If you had issues implementing the Service Pack then it may not have been done correctly. It can be difficult to implement on already configured/customised builds and if you are experiencing problems you should roll-back and try to implement again. If you are still having problems you should get some experienced consultant to help.
EhP4 is not required for OrgChart 2.1, only for SuccessionPlanning 2.0 and 2.1. However, you may need ECC6.0 for OrgChart 2.1 as there are some transports that need to go into SAP.
I hope that helps.

Trouble with PDF Export from ID CS6
I am having the following problem with PDF exported from an ID CS6 document. I have a couple of pages where a b&w photograph is partly covered by a non-wrapping text frame and in that text frame there is blue text. In ID it looks like this:
It also looks like this in the exported PDF in Apple Preview.app and for most of these pages they also look good in Acrobat Pro. But two are giving me trouble. They look like this:
and sadly, they also look that way when Ingram tries to use them. I export using the typical print format PDF/X-1a:2001
I have a minimal ID document that shows the problem with 3 such pages, one with the problem.Select one of the troublesome objects and open the attributes panel as well as the effects panel.

Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause
I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
Initially I did the following:
ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
- In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
- Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
- Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
- Selected "Embed all fonts"
- Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
Thanks in advance,
DouglasThe common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
of this method for me?
>
There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
(http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
screenshots. Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
characters in PDFs.
In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
can use them but not embed them.) -
Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi
Hi,
I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
- Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
- Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
- Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
- Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
- 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
- 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
- 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
- Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
ThanksHi Rene
Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

Acrobat 9 pro and problems with pdf made by photoshop cs4
Hello,
I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
Any ideas how to make this work?
regards,
embeeSolution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.
As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

Problem with Excel output format
Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.
Is there any limitation for excel output format of reports?
It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Edited by: user11237443 on Aug 27, 2009 1:22 AMHi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,

Problem with PDF extract in a report
Hi guys,
We are facing a peculiar problem with PDF extract in a report. When we run a report and export PDF , all the records in the result set are populated in the PDF. however, if I navigate away from the report and return back to the same report, and click on export pdf (with the result set already populated) i get a blank PDF document without any records. If i run the report again and then export the PDF it works fine.
Export excel works fine for all cases.
I am assuming it has got something to do with the way the system handles the cache for PDF export.
I also found that this occurs only when we have a value list filter with "none" set as default,and in this case, initially on opening the report for the first time the query does not get executed automatically.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
immanuelHi Immanuel,
Have you tried clearing the cache? My guess is, it is probably a defect.
