Problems adding SWF to PDF

Hi there... I need to add a Flash CS3 swf file to an Acrobat v8 Pro document.
I'm on a 24" iMac.. OSX.5.7 Acrobat v8 Pro with Flash CS3 Swf file is flashplayer 9 compatible.
After the "add movie" dialogue box where I locate my swf drive on the hard drive and click ok, I get "Initalising Authoring System".... which just stays there forever until I click cancel - then I get a dialogue that says "Cannot create the movie annotation because movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or URL is nreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
I've tried all sorts of things with no luck. There's no problem converting the SWF to a quicktime movie and adding that, but the file size becomes unuseable - I'd rather try and embed a 72kb swf than a 30mb Quicktime file!
Can anyone out there shed some light on this issue? Is there something in preferences I haven't clicked/checked on?
Megga thanks!
Kind Regards
Piers Le Sueur

Thank you Michael, I had a horrible feeling that might have been the case.
I know what I need to do now... thanks so much!!!
So when you say... "the new method that works in Acrobat 9 is not backwards compatible" does that mean that the file can only be edited in Acrobat 9 Pro? or Read using Reader 9 and above only?
Kind Regards

Problem adding .swf in page

Hello,
here's my problem.
I have a short video that I embedded in flash, ACS2. Exported as .swf. When I place it in my page in Muse, on the preview nothing happens.
Then I converted to a GIF sequence, same problem.
To test, I made a basic animation in Flash and then did the same thing, and it worked. So, I'm confused.
Is it because of video? Because I converted and tried to make it as light as possible.
Thank you!

Importing SWF to PDf problem since updating 10.1.6

Ever since updating to 10.1.6 all of a sudden our SWF flash presentations have stopped importing to pdf correctly
In version 10.1.4 we used to right click the swf and then select open with Adobe Acrobat X which would allow us to make a pdf of our presentation without any issues and showing correctly,
since updating we can no longer do this without strange sizing issues
Now, in 10.1.6, when we import the swf the size is tiny and either a long strip horizontally or vertically and you have to zoom in 400% to see the document properly and it no longer reads the actual SWF extents and seems to have random extra document space around it
the sizing/scaling cropping of the swf in pdf is completely out, like its not respecting the flash document width and height and adding extra space....
also we have had to remove fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); as the swf wont work unless its removed
Has anyone had any similar problem with SFW since updating
in the image is a simple example 550 x 400 swf when it goes into pdf it ignores the document size and shpws extra space

Ive tried all the diferent stage scalemodes but it seems to automatically decide on what the extents should be when importing the swf wheras previously it would respect the document dimensions of the SWF
here is a pdf from swf file created a few days with acrobat version 10.1.4 on the left with one created today with 10.1.6 (document size is 1024 x 768 in flash), something has changed and I cant work out what it is - i have added an image resizing function to the image, which is why its constrainign to the view, but how did it come up with the tiny rectangle document size ?

Acrobat 9 Pro and straight .swf to PDF conversion

I have an electronic document that is several .swf files, one
file for each document page. Using cutepdf I can put each file in
firefox and then print the the page to pdf. This is very tedious
since I have 1000+ pages. I would prefer to speed this process up
with AA9.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to create a
new PDF from the .swf file I get some dialogue that treats the .swf
as embedded content. This puts an annoying play button at the
bottom of the converted page and makes it incompatible to view in
my iPhone or other handheld devices. It would seem that AA9 treats
the .swf as .swf and doesn't convert it to .pdf like cutepdf does.
I have to believe that AA9 can ignore the media type of .swf
and straight convert the content in the .swf to .pdf without
treating it like I want to embed it as a flash file inside a pdf.
How is this done? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. This problem has yet to be resolved
sadly. The play button isn't a huge deal as that the document wont
convert into straight PDF. I finally gave up and decided to batch
convert all of the files and just deal with the embedded content
angle AA9 takes. Sadly this was also a failure since every file
that was converted (1200+) wants me to confirm the embedded content
settings. Very annoying. Any help on these subjects would be
greatly appreciated.

Indesign to swf in PDF will not play sound

Hi, I have created a book with narration on the pages in Indesign. I have exported it to .swf. When I run the .swf file the cool page turning anmation works, the sound plays on each page - great! Now I want to embed the .swf file in a PDF so I can sell my new narrated book in a PDF format.
I drag the .swf into Acrobat Pro and then right click to get properties - I import the supporting audio files in .MP3 format (they just played fine OUTSIDE of Acrobat a minute ago) Then, I run the pdf - the page animation looks great but there is no sound.
I tried the same process with the latest demo of Acrobat X Pro - same results.
Any thoughts here?
Steve

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.

Problem adding Video to Captivate Slide

Hi,
I'm having a problem adding an FLV video file to Captivate. Basically, after I've published to a SWF file, the video doesn't appear on the slide at all. It's just blank.
After researching a bit, I found that the FLV file MUST include *metadata*.
However, I added medatada with VLC Media Player, and it still shows the same behavior. Must it include a certain *amount* of metadata? Is there a *type* of metadata without which the video will not show?
Adobe's Help thread talks about something called the "Flash Video Kit" - is that a stand alone product or an extension of another product? Is it free? Are there any other free alternatives?
I'm just very confused.
Thank you!

I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps anyone else, I'm going to post my solution.
Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write Meta Data to the video. Lastly, I imported the video as an object and when I published the video, Captivate transmuted it to the necessary FLV format.
Now the video displays properly.

Cannot place order ERROR: "There was a problem adding your product to cart"

Hey guys,
Well, once again Best Buy's online system is preventing me from making an order. It seems like nearly every time I log in I experience some new problem. This time, I'm unable to add anything to my cart. It doesn't matter what item I try to add to my cart or what browser I use or if I clear cookies...it happens every time, on every browser, with every product in the store. The error shows a red & white triangle with a message "There was a problem adding your product to cart".
Just to clarify ahead of time: 1) I have already tried signing in using 4 different browsers (explorer, firefox, chrome, opera) & they all give the same error; 2) Prior to posting here I researched this problem & found out it is somewhat common & has been occurring since at least 2012 on BestBuy.com; 3) Every time someone posts in here about this problem, customer service offers the same "fix" every time - to sign out, clear their browser cache of cookies, shut down the browser, restart the browser, sign back in, etc.... The only problem is, this "solution" has not worked ONE time our of the many times this problem has cropped up in here over the past 3+ years. Why this "solution" keeps getting told to people even though it never works is beyond me. But, there you have it.
Just to clarify: I have already tried this solution, And just like with everyone else before me, it didn't work for me either. So, what's the next step? There must be something else that can be done other than waiting a couple more days for it to magically fix itself (it seems that is the only thing that ever "works"...is to let several days go by and the problem ends up getting fixed in some back-end server-side patch up).
What I'm hoping for from you is a solution that can fix this immediately. This problem has already prevented me from making a couple purchases for items that were temporarily on sale over the past couple days. So, those are lost sales for Best Buy. What I'm hoping to do now is pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online (PS4) in order to take advantage of the $10 pre-order reward. The game releases on Tuesday the 9th. So, in order to get this done in time I need to place the order sometime today (on the 8th).
With all these repeated technical problems making purchasing a chore & wasting my time every single time I want to buy a product it's almost as if Best Buy is telling customers "We don't care if our online system works reliably...go spend your money at Amazon instead". lol
Thank you in advance for your timely help on this matter.

Hello mjswooosh,
I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Problem while compressing a PDF

Hi,
I am facing a problem while compressing a PDF. The requirement is to merge lot of PDF into one. But when we merge the file the size of the PDF becomes huge. It can not be sent as an attachment in an email. We also don't want to ZIP the file. Any help is welcome.
Thanks,

Thanks a lot Satyajit,
I have already gone through the post. I can not change the existing forms. I can compress one form to the least I can but when I merge 500 of such forms then the size becomes huge. I need to compress the "merged" big file, not the single form. My individual forms are already very small in size.

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 adding HP J6400 all-in-one printer

We have an HP Officejet J6400 all-in-one printer here at work, and all of our computers have had no problem adding this printer except one: an older iMac, PowerMac 6.1 (with the white domed base). The driver is installed, and the computer sees the driver, but when I click to add it eventually it gives me this error:
"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
I was on the phone with HP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out on their end. Has anyone had a similar problem, or have a solution?

Problem with printing a PDF

Hi All,
I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
I have a problem with printing a PDF:
I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
Can anyone help me?
I wish a great day to You all.

Hi Ted Ueda,
sorry for the delay of my answer.
I understand very well the problems related to security.
With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
from RTF previously realized?
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
String report = report path;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Object reportSource = null;
reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
//The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
//ConnectioInfos
ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
//Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
//ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
//Set the export format (PDF)
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
try {
      exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
} catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }
As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
"In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
where
/p = print
/h = hide window
to print the report and
2)     tkill AcroRd32
to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command /h is used just to minimize the process.
I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using control panel programs uninstall.
After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
None of the above has helped.
The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon. All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
I am so puzzled and frustrated.

Thank you so much this did the trick.
I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so simple and clear.
Regards
Kazzamday
