markfranklin,
Sorry I did make some assumptions there. I had a look at the low-level code for the Print Report VI and can't figure out a way to modify it to do what you want. Like Coq Rouge said, it would require a pdf printer driver for optimal integration. I did however find a third party PDF Toolkit by Simplicity AI which may suit your needs. It was coded for LabVIEW 8.6 and is available for free download from: http://www.simplicityai.co.uk/products_services/products/pdftoolkit/
I hope this will be of use.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Hi everyone,
I use Illustrator CS2 and when I save a file in CS2 (Save As) as a PDF i can only save it as an Acrobat Reader 4, 5, 6, or 7.0 file.
Is there a way to save a CS2 .ai file as an Acrobat Reader 9.0+ file while in Illustrator CS2??
Thanks in advance!

If you have acrobat in a newer version you could file >> reduce file size
Otherwise you coudl print to .ps file and upload that to an Online service to makes PDFs

Unable to save xls file from website in the "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet" format. The browser is saving in unrecognized "File" Type

The version I am using is 3.6.11
The file is stored in the server in the format "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet"
But when I download it, it gets saved in the unrecognized format type "File"
The servlet code written to download the file sets the content type to "application/vnd.ms-excel"
I am able to save the file in Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet format using Internet Explorer Browser without any issues.
But it does not work with the Mozilla Firefox. Any plug-in needed to make it work?

Did you try to add the .xls file extension yourself to those files?

Can't save Illustrator file to PDF

I am just trying to save a PDF from my illustrator file. However, when I go to Save as, and select PDF, no dialog box opens to allow me to set how I want the file outputted. IF I just hit enter, the file does save.. its just like the Dialog box is hidden or not appearing. The reason I need the dialog box is because I need to add bleeds to the PDF and my default save doesn't do that. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem? Thanks

An addition to this issue. I had the exact thing going on, but did have my second monitor running and still no dialog box. The issue was that I switched desks and now had my extra monitor on the other side of my laptop. So, after much frustration, finally figured out to go to preferences > displays, changed the arrangement to put the monitor back to the other side and "whallaa..." there it was.

How to save .xls file through portal

Currently i have a .xls file uploaded in my oracle portal. The idea is to enable all user to read only the .xls file and to enable only authorized user to read-write and save the changes made to the .xls file. How am i able to do this? Please give me a step-by-step solution since I'm very new to oracle portal 10g.
TQ

If the Excel spreadsheet is published as a File Item, grant Manage access on the item (requires Item Level Access to be enabled on the page) to the authorized user (or group) that makes the updates to the spreadsheet so that s/he can upload the updated spreadsheet whenever needed. Then just grant View access on that same file item to the group(s) or individual(s) that just need to view the spreadsheet. They'll still be able to save off the spreadsheet to their pc, so utilize the protection settings in Excel, if needed.

Do you know how to save Pages file into PDF?

Using Pages on iPad I'd like to save what I write into PDF file in order to share it with my friends. Unfortunately I don't see how to do that.
Even when I send this file via email as a PDF again it is not an attachment but it becomes body of the email itself
Do you heve any suggestion?
Appreciate any help on this
Best Regards and Ciao

Also, if you're using VB.NET, this is pretty easy ... something like this would work:
Private Shared Function BitBlt( _
ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, _
ByVal nXDest As Integer, _
ByVal nYDest As Integer, _
ByVal nWidth As Integer, _
ByVal nHeight As Integer, _
ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, _
ByVal nXSrc As Integer, _
ByVal nYSrc As Integer, _
ByVal dwRop As Integer _
) As Boolean
End Function
Private Shared SRCCOPY As Integer = &HCC0020
Private Sub SaveFormToFile(ByVal sourceForm As Form, ByVal filename As String)
Dim formGraphics As Graphics = sourceForm.CreateGraphics()
Dim
bufferRect = sourceForm.ClientRectangle
Dim buffer As Image = New Bitmap(bufferRect.Width, bufferRect.Height, formGraphics)
Dim bufferGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(buffer)
Dim formDC As IntPtr = formGraphics.GetHdc()
Dim bufferDC As IntPtr = bufferGraphics.GetHdc()
BitBlt(bufferDC, 0, 0, bufferRect.Width, bufferRect.Height, formDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY)
bufferGraphics.ReleaseHdc(bufferDC)
formGraphics.ReleaseHdc(formDC)
bufferGraphics.Dispose()
formGraphics.Dispose()
buffer.Save(filename, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
buffer.Dispose()
End Sub
If you copied and pasted this to your form, you could then save the form to a .jpg file anytime you want by passing the Me reference in for this first parameter and the filename that you want to save it to. For example, if you wanted to create a .jpg file in the root directory of your C drive called "Test.jpg":
SaveFormToFile(Me, "Test.jpg")

When I save a file as .pdf, why does it open blank?

Let me know.

After share moved to new Server User can't save .xls file anymore.

Dear Forum,
we have a strange problem here. Situation:
A fileshare got moved from a very old Server 2000 to our new 2008 R2 Server. Ever since the departments share moved Servers she (and her colleagues) get "unsuspected file lock by user" messages. Even if they unlock it and change something they
can't save it.
There was a file lock from that user even though she wasn't logged in. We removed that.
There were some crude inherited rights from the old share. We purged them and the rights should be ok. (effective file permission says so, too!)
Her tmp files were deleted.
I for example can access the file without problem.
We are currently out of ideas and any help is apreciated.
Regards,
t.zimmermann

How to i repair a printer not activated, error code -30 message when trying to save a file to pdf

Please help

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, agree with Milos. Please provide more information for further troubleshooting.
From your initial subject it seems you are facing issue with printer activation on your server. The error may be caused if the wrong printer is set as the default printer, the printer driver is missing, or if there are conflicts in the device manager. Please
make sure below 3 steps whether it’s get some workaround.
Step one: Make sure the desired printer is set as the default printer
Step two: Re-install the USB Composite Device from Device Manager
Step three: Reinstall the Software for that particular printer
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Using PhotoShop CC v2014.1.0 I can't save files as PDFs - I get a program error

I have tried a couple of different files now. In the past I could save my files as PDF copies, but just recently it has been generating errors. I thought the first one was due to the size of the file but I just tried it again on a small file with the same "program error".

So the question then becomes, what do the files that won't save as PDF have in common but at the same time they don't share with other files.
And when I said that a font would cause the issue, this was in regards to using a specific font. Generally one that is corrupt in some fashion or was poorly created. First, try the steps here: Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CC, CS6, CS5
