Problem with saving an Ai file to PDF in Illustrator CS4 Professional

Hello guys, I have an interesting problem. The machine has Windows Vista Enterprise with the latest updates and office 2007 Pro+. The version of adobe installed is Adobe CS4 Professional, in which has the Illustrator and Acrobat updated to the latest patches. This has happened to the user over the weekend; all of the sudden when she tries to save an Ai file to PDF, it hangs not even bringing up the dialog box. However, in all the other Adobe programs are able to save it as a PDF. Now I am able to print from Illustrator into Acrobat, but it doesn't save it to a full sized "page". I tried saving any Ai file to a different file and then try to save as a PDF....no dice. This is the second time around where this has happened. Now here is the kicker, since I'm an admin it will work like a charm under my login; the user is a restricted user (no admin rights). I also changed the default printer for her, to a local printer.. (read somewhere about that) no dice. Any help would obviously be appreciated. THX

Yup, that could also be possible. Had a similar problem where the IE add-in for Adobe Reader did not work anymore. And I had to get a patch from MS for office. And it was only available by request only.

Problem saving files to PDF in Illustrator CS4 [Mac]

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with saving files as PDF's in illustrator CS4 - something I've happily done for years until about a week ago.
It seems to be something to do with the "Save As" command. When I select Save As and then select PDF, the PDF saves as a copy of the current file rather than it saving as a file itself. It also doesn't rename itself properly. Saving a file in the .ai format seems unaffected.
The multiple page function also seems to be affected - I can create multiple pages no problem, but upon saving the PDF reads as a single page PDF in both Acrobat and Preview. Reopening the same file in Illustrator reveals that the extra pages are there, but not showing in the PDF.
Any thoughts? I've trashed preferences and repaired permissions, but no joy....
Any help greatly appreciated

Problem involving saving over indesign file and pdf

Kind of a strange one this one....
I'm currently working on a magazine and have several InDesign files in one folder that i'm working on and a seperate folder where I have saved exported pdf versions of these files. The files are the same names in ach folder eg '1 - 40' '2 - 39' and so on
I accidentally saved over one of my InDesign files so I understand I will not be able to recover it as I wasnt using any backup utility.
However before I saved over the file I had created a pdf version of it and saved it in my pdf folder. So i'm thinking not all is lost as I can use the pdf file to send to the printers.
Now here's the strange bit - I am using PC and when I open explorer I can see the folder icon where all my pdf files are saved and can actually see the 'lost/saved over' pdf version as one of the mini thumbnails for that folder - but when I click on the folder to view the files inside it isnt there - instead it shows a thumbnail of the file i saved over it with...!?!
I'm thinking is there somekind of automatic updating PDF export setting that I may have selected or is it possible that folder icon is using a snapshot of what was inside at a certain point??
Either way I could really do with recovering this PDF - if anyone has any suggestions i'm more than happy to hear them.
Thanks
Mark

i thought this would help a little
This is the folder icon - in which all my pdf's are. The top left thumbnail is the 'missing/saved over' pdf. So you'd think it would be in there?
Below is a view of the contents of that folder - (for those of you with good eyesight) you can see that the top left thumbnail from the above picture is nowhere to be seen in this folder!!

Problems with saving Word 2007 table as PDF

I have a table in MS Word 2007 with some merged cells. If I use the Save as ... PDF or XPS option in Word 2007 to save this document as a PDF, the resulting PDF has a table with a discontinuous table grid. The table lines around the cells are broken.
Is this a problem with the Word table or does the Save as PDF command not work well with tables.
Thanks,
Karl Smith

What versions of both programs and how did you create the PDF? Can you post an example of the PDF?

Problem with saving/loading a file

hi everyone,
i hav a program that consists of animal that are jlabels with icons and i put these animals in an array and save them. when i save the file i catch this error message: sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage
when i try to load the file i catch this error: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage
Now i got this :public class Animal extends JLabel implements MouseListener, Serializable{, for my animal class and every other class associated with the animal class also implements Serializable.
i think its because im using an Image object in another serialised class. what can i do to fix this thing (Does it have anything to do with tooltiptext coz i got that for each jlabel). Any help is appreciated
regards,
gher111

Most image implementations are not Seriliazable so if you have a field possibly in an outer class which refers to an object etc which contains an image you have a problem.

Problems with saving and sending info in PDF form

Hi,
I'm trying to make a PDF form in Indesign CS5, exporting it to PDF, opening in Acrobat 9 Pro, and get the form to be able to send the info I type in the fields.
So far I've had no problems making the form, exporting it, opening it in Acrobat 9 Pro, getting Acrobat 9 Pro to recognize the fields and save the form.
However, I'd opened the form and filled it out and attached it to an email, and when I got the email, the form was blank.
How do I get the form to save the data so it can be emailed?
thanks for any help.
Phil

(Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended) Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
I have somehow solved the problem. I tried using the above direction and it seems to have fixed the problem. I don't seem to get the message about not being able to save anymore and can send a completed PDF form that retains the information typed into the form.
Thanks for all who made suggestions.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Problem with saving pdf in CS5 and opening it in CS4

I have just got an Illustrator CS5 – my colleague’s works in CS4. We are always working directly in pdf-format.
If I make a pdf in CS5, my colleagues can’t open this pdf in Illustrator CS4.
I know that I can save to CS4 if I work in AI-format, but I would like to continue working in pdf.
Have any of your tried the same and can you help me with this? Thanks

Thank you for your reply :o)
It could have been so nice if it was possible to decide which version I would save my pdf in like it is possible in Autodesk products to save to an older version of there dwg-files.
All can read pdf but there are so few who can read AI. So If I want to work in CS5, I have to save in AI to my CS4 colleaques and in pdf to my pdf-reading customers.

Problem with RTPExport output video files

Hi, I have a problem with RTPExport output video files. One side streams H263/RTP(AVTransmit2.java) and other write this steam to a file by RTPExport.java. When network conditions are ideal, output video file has same fps and same number of frames like original file. Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Its there a way to modifi rtpexport or avreceiver to do this? Thanks a lot!

Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Okay, first off, the second file is smaller on purpose. RTP intentionally drops packets that are old/out of order in order to make sure real-time video stays as close to real time as it can. This is by design, so there's really nothing that can be done about it.
How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Technically speaking, what you're getting in the RTPExport is exactly what you got on the receiving end. Any frames that are dropped during transmission will not be seen by the receiver, nor saved by the receiver.
Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? I'm not 100% sure that you can, but, you can give the following idea a try. I make no guarentees that it'll work, but it should work for you...
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RTPConnector.html]
That example is an example of a "custom transport layer" for RTP connections. Essentially, it's some code that's handed the RTP packets on the transmission end, and it's expected to deliver those RTP packets on the other end. And it doesn't care about how they get from A to B, only that they do.
If you were to replace the UDP socket in that example with a TCP socket, you would be guarenteed not to drop packets due to network reasons. Every RTP packet you were handed by the transmitter, you would then hand to the receiver. There is no guarentee that none of the packets would be cast away as "old" by the RTP protocol itself, but there's also no guarentee any of them would be. It's a crap-shoot at best, but it's certainly worth a try.

Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf

I'm having problems with the Adobe reader for iPad.
Whenever I modify a pdf file, adding notes or any other mark up, I'm not able to see any of the markups in the file when I open the same file with another application or I send it via e-mail.
Only the digital signature is still visible.
Thanks

You are correct. When i open it with Adobe i get my mark ups etc. When i use Apple`s pdf view i do not.
Problem solved.

Re: Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf created by Pat Wibbeler in Adobe Reader for iOS - View the full discussion
Can you share what applications you are using to view the notes after emailing? You have to view the document in a Reader that supports annotations. Apple ships a built in pdf viewer (like the one used in iBooks) that many iOS developers use (e.g. Dropbox, email). This built in PDF viewer does not support rendering annotations. However, many other applications (like the Adobe Reader for iOS and the Adobe desktop products) do support Annotation rendering. Similarly, one of our competitor's PDF viewers (PDFExpert) supports this functionality as well. Annotations are part of the PDF standard and the specification is widely available and we would love to see more renderers support it!

Problems with Saved Watermarks - Wrong Font Size

Hi,
I am having problems with "Saved" Watermarks, as when I selected them they have the wrong font size.
I created a Watermark (Draft) to be placed on the lower right
corner of a PDF, using font Arial-10. This watermark has been save using the "Save Settings..." in Watermarks.
When I add this this "saved" watermark to a new PDF, the font size is wrong
(much much bigger), even though the Add Watermark windows reports Arial-10. Only by a selecting a different font size and changing it back to the saved font size (10) I get the correct Font Size in the PDF.
I had a similar problem with the placement, but managed to solve that by setting the Preference>User&Guide to the used Unit (Page&Ruler = centimeters). But for the font size I can't find anything in the preference.
Any Help or Suggestions ?

Hi,
Sorry forgot to add, I am using
Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 on Windows XP Prof.

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

Hi Arika,
The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
I hope this information helps.
