Problem with save as PDF with FrameMaker 12

Hey,
I just received FrameMaker 12 and I like it.
But I'm having problems when I use the save as PDF function.
It takes very long time to generate the PDF (at least 30 minutes for a book)
The fonts and spaces are messed up in the finished PDF. Some text blocks have paragraphs running over the margin
I have tried a couple of different things:
saving as MIF and back to FM
uncheck rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts
but nothing have worked yet, please help I'm getting frustrated.

Hi Jeff,
After I realized that I didn't make the setprint.ini file, I did that and deleted the printer=adobe pdf in the .dll file. But it still doesn't work. I save to pdf anyway, I was just trying to optimize my usage by making the default printer in FM the adobe pdf printer.
Anyway, the .dll file from above has the below information in it. I don't know what it means, but it has errors all over. Does this make a difference and what does it mean?....Thanks!

Problems when Saving as PDF in Framemaker 9

Hello,
Our department is having a couple of problems when 'Save as PDF' is used to create a PDF in FM9.   We all use WindowsXP.
Problem #1: No PDF created.   A window appears stating that Distiller 5.0.5 or higher is required; we all have Distiller 9.0 installed. So it doesn't seem to recognize that Distiller 9.0 is available. NOTE: When PRINTING to PDF there are no issues, it is uses Distiller 9.0 as expected.
Problem #2: PDF is created but chunks of text are missing.
We need to Save as PDF in order for our reviewer comments to automatically be added when importing back into Framemaker.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
T.

Since you mention that you're on XP, have you installed the PostScript
printer Hotfix from Microsoft?
That would be my starting point for trouble-shooting because it
specifically addresses at least one of your issues.

Illustrator saves blank PDFs with information about missing content

I use Illustrator CS6 on OS X 10.8. Yesterday I noticed that my PDFs come out as blank files with the text
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content.
To Place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command.
which is actually a description that typically appears in AI files saved without PDF compatibility. It's not document-wise but rather application-wise issue because it happens even if I create a new Document, draw something in the middle of the canvas and save it. Also, all of my existing documents which used to save well before, do that now. Basically, I cannot save correctly a single PDF. But it seems that the exported documents must contain the data because they have different sizes based on the content.
There's no problem with saving in AI format. I hope that's enough information necessary for someone smart to diagnose this problem because I start to be desperate
Do you have any idea? Thank you.

Oh, my friend just recommended me to erase cache and it worked! :-) I erased folders ~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.Illustrator and ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.Illustrator.savedState and one of them did the trick :-)

Save a PDF with Comments from Mail to an XServe Loses Comments

Hello,
I can't find anyone out there with this problem and we just started seeing this as of a few days ago.
We have Adobe Acrobat PDFs that have comments and other market embedded into the file for review mailed to us as an attachment.
The user runs on OS X 10.4 with the latest updates from Apple using Apple Mail (IMAP setup).
When she saves the PDF to her desktop, and opens the file, everything shows just fine, she can view all of the comments with no problem.
However, when she saves the same file to our 10.5.7 XServe (with permissions wide open), she comments are lost and cannot be recovered.
Anyone else seen this? Have an explanation? Fix?
-Jessee

I use stamps and text boxes most often. Occasionally I use the text-editing tools in the comments area, but they really don't save well when I flatten the file. Occasionally, I'll add a file to pdf when I need to extensively comment on a certain area of the pdf. Depending upon the comment I'll either use a text file (my preferred choice), an rtf, or pdf.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

Fm9p237, probs with Save As PDF, turns *some* anchored frames blue

I am using Save As PDF because have to create CMYK PDF. I know how to do that. The issue now is that FrameMaker is sticking blue boxes around only *some* of the graphics.
They are all EPS graphics imported by reference into anchored frames. These boxes do not appear in the FM file.
The boxes clearly are the anchored frame bounding boxes.
Any ideas? Any switch I should set? Any ritual incantations that will appease the FM Postscript generator?
Thanks for your help, Becky

Hi Bernd and Art,
Yes, I am using spot colors. I did some more testing and here is what I found:
Use Save As PDF in FM-->all colors except for spots are correctly converted to CMYK. Bitmap screenshots are also converted to CMYK. If I convert the spot colors to CMYK SWOP in Acrobat 9, using its preflight tool, the spots are all converted to the same CMYK values that they were assigned in Frame. BUT there are random blue boxes in the doc, clearly where FM for some reason colored the bounding box of an anchored frame or a table cell.
Print to Adobe Printer instance in FM with the Press Quality job options-->All colors come out CMYK, including spot colors and bitmapped
and there are no random blue boxes BUT the CMYK conversions of the spot colors are wrong.
My choice: Save As PDF. I will just remove the blue boxes with Acrobat.
I considered PitStop Pro and downloaded the trial copy, but its userdoc is terrible and I can't figure out how to batch-convert the incorrect CMYK colors t. Can't find any good help on line either. Too much bother.
Sigh. Adobe, are you listening? It's ridiculous that the company that produces Photoshop can't make CMYK color conversion work in Frame.
TThank you, Bernd and Art. I appreciate your feedback very much.

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.

SYSTEM CRASH with 'Save As PDF' in Safari

Since installing 10.6.4 my MacBook crashes whenever I attempt to "Save as PDF" in Safari. I am unable to force quit Safari or use any other application as the spinning beachball of death works its magic. I removed Safari 5 and replaced it with Safari 4.05 (using Time Machine) but this has no effect. All I can do is a hard reset to get my MacBook back from the abyss. I've just tried 'Save As PDF' from a Pages document and this worked fine.
Any ideas?

First thing I would do if I were you is find your Snow Leopard installer DVD, boot from it, and when you get to the point where there is a menubar across the top of your screen, go into Utilities and run Disk Utility's Repair Volume option. If errors, run it over and over until no more "file system was modified" messages are reported. Then run the Repair Permissions option. That one reports errors that never go away so don't worry so much about them. Then reboot, and google "10.6.4 combo update." Download the combo update and reapply it.
No Sno installer DVD? Then boot while holding down the ⌘s keys. When you get to a user prompt, type fsck -fy and run it over and over until you get no more "file system was modified" messages. Then type exit so the computer reboots. You can continue with the repair permissions and combo update bit after the computer has rebooted into GUI mode.

Problems with Long Interactive PDFs with Extensive Interactivity via Buttons and Hyperlinks

I have inherited a project which requires the creation of large interactive pdfs with lots of buttons and hyperlinks. I am having continuing problems with buttons not working and long periods of wasted time as attempted exports fail.
Background:
The largest books range from 264 MB to 411 MB – (764 to 1024 pages). Per book, the maximum number of buttons on each page is 16, linking separate files (subsections) in the book via text anchors. The buttons are created using Master Pages which are set for each file (subsection) in the book. 50% to 60% of the pages in each file (subsection) will also be referenced as 2 hyperlinks. One is the source page hyperlink on each workflow and the second is a listing on the source page as a possible navigation path. I have created hyperlink destinations for each page which is used to generate the source and navigation hyperlinks. With 2 hyperlinks representing 50%-60% of the pages - that means the largest book contains a maximum of 1200 hyperlinks. Each file (subsection) also has it’s own separate TOC and the bookmarks that are created (optionally) during the TOC creation process.   As currenlty formatted, the book is primarily images of workflows which mean 50%-60% of the pages contain pdf images.
Several questions:
1. How do I get my buttons to work consistently? There is nothing worse than working hard and then ending up with faulty product. I have been thinking about combining all the files into 1 document per book. Then I could change the buttons to objects, add a hyperlink over each one and set them for a specific hyperlink destination. Can I do that if the buttons are on Master Pages? Can InDesign handle a document with 1024 pages?    I can't fix the problems in Acrobat later because it would mean 1024 fixes for just 1 button correction.
2. How do I stop InDesign from freezing when exporting these large pdfs? It seems to wait until the final steps to crash which sometimes means a 4-6 hour waste of time per export.
3. Are we making a mistake using pdfs as our workflow images? I'm not pleased with the quality of the images we have and wonder if we switched to another image format if this would improve the results.   Would it be worth the effort and relinking? I have been reading different information on what the preferred source image format is for InDesign. One article I found yesterday says using pdf images is a problem. Another site said the Photoshop, TIF and JPG are preferred but PDFs were also acceptable.
4. Do I need to propose scrapping InDesign as the source of the project? If so, what application can better meet my needs?

Those are the limitations you have to put up with.
Apple doesn't follow the PDF spec. It chooses which PDF features it will support.
As to the version number (v5 or v6 or the new multimedia features in v9), there is different support in different versions of Reader/Acrobat as the product has developed. You just need to post a message to downloaders that they need to view the file in Adobe Reader version X or above to get the best experience.
Other industry standards face the same problem: How can you add new feature like multimedia? You can't always be backwards compatible.

Havig problems converting JPG to PDF with Acrobat Prof 7

I am using Acrobat professional 7. I am trying to convert JPG files to PDF. I have done this in the past without problems and now I am getting a message of "unrecoverable error". What can I do? I have tried doing this with one file and with multiple files and still get the same problem.

What I do is:
File
Create PDF
from Multiple files
Browse
(select file)
add
OK
Then after I do all of that I get the message "unrecoverable error"
I have created over the past year thousands of JPG files to PDF without problems. I can't seem to create a PDF from these JPG files today. I have tried using just one file and also several files and get the same message each time.

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

How can I save a pdf with custom made joboption?

Hi, I'm new here and my english is not perfect so please, don't make me regret I joined this forum
The thing is that I have to print pdfs to pdfs with certain .joboptions and I really have no idea how to that.
I tried to make it by distiller, it printed the error about the 'CheckCompliance out of range' error so I deleted the file and I set all of the options by myself just to realize that distiller won't work with .pdf files. I couldn't find all of the options I need in the Acrobat save menu.
So... is there any solution to print/save pdf to pdf with joboptions I need?
I hope the post is understandable
Thanks in advance.

Try tapping the share arrow and then tapping Open in iBooks.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>

I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

Hi,
I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
I know that reader extension can be
1. cached
2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
I have a summary here:
http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
Also have a look at the Adobe page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
Good luck,
Niall
