"Save as pdf" generates corrupt pdfs
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the "save as pdf" option in the printing menu. When generating the pdf for a document which contains bitmapped embedded images, the actual images in the pdf file are corrupt when opened on a windows/linux machine with the latest version of acrobat reader.
If I open the document on a mac, either with preview or with acrobat, it looks fine. The problem seems to be the compatibility of the generated pdf with the windows/linux version of acrobat reader.
Moreover, the problem happens randomly when printing either from Pages or Keynote, so I think it is not an application-dependent issue. I tried also to save as pdf-X but this does not solve the problem.
Some idea on how to fix this compatibility issue on the Tiger's internal pdf generator?
Thank you very much,
Vittorio
Stuck files in the queue sounds like a problem I had with Acrobat X. The
10.0.1 patch broke the Adobe PDF printer, so that it tried to use the
COM1: port, instead of the Documents or Desktop port. (You can check for
this by right-clicking the Adobe PDF printer, choosing "Printer
Properties," then selecting the "Ports" tab.) In fact, it deleted those
ports! (Here's a link to that problem:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/893/cpsid_89330.html). The result was PDFs that
would not print, and would be left stuck in the printer queue. The fix
was to delete the Adobe PDF printer, then run the Acrobat repair option
to regenerate it. You might want to do this. Following are the
directions for Windows 7. Windows XP instruction are included at the
link above.
*Windows Vista (UAC on, nonadmin user), Windows 7 (UAC on,
admin user)*
1. Close all PDF files.
2. Go to Printers and Faxes (Windows XP), Printers (Vista) or Devices
and Printers (Windows 7).
3. Right-click the Adobe PDF printer and click Delete (Windows XP,
Vista) or Remove Device (Windows 7).
4. Enter the admin credentials. This step deletes the Adobe PDF printer.
5. Go to Programs and Features (Vista and Windows 7).
6. Select Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Standard and click Change.
7. Select Repair and follow instructions to complete repair.**
By the way, I don't think this was mentioned earlier, but another cause
of problems with PDF generation is having more than one installation
and/or version of Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or the PDF creation add-on that
comes with FrameMaker installed simultaneously. If you have Acrobat, you
should NOT have Adobe Reader or the PDF creation add-on installed on the
same computer, and you should have only one version of Acrobat installed.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:

SPro | SQR APY1060 is randomly generating Corrupted PDF's
Hi,
We're in the process of implementing SPro FSCM 8.9 on 8.47.11 for one of our clients. While the running the OOB SQR APY1060, we've found that the SQR randomly generates corrupted PDF. When we run the Process again, it works fine...Its is also difficult to replicate in other environments.
Has any body faced an issues like this earlier with any PS delivered SQR.
We've been able to zero in on the culprit - Control-M ... We've noticed a pattern, using the same run control ID, if we run it (PSJob) using the online page, then the PSJob runs absolutely fine. However, when we schedule it through Control-M the corruption happens. Also, if we create separate Process Requests in Control-M to schedule individual processes rather than the OOB PSJob, the SQR runs fine...Not sure if some one has come across such an issue...
Thank You
Prashant
Edited by: PSFT_PP on Feb 9, 2009 8:47 AMI am not sure about this..but do you have different run control for the different OS or the same run control. Unix always recognises CAPS runcontrol values. do a check on that please.

Auto-Iterating a cell to generate multiple reports to save to PDF
I'm using Numbers '09 to calculate interest and track payments for a personal loan.
On one sheet, I have a table with the monthly starting balance, interest for the month, payments, etc. in columns. Each row then shows the values for each month.
On another sheet, I have a statement report set up for me to send to the lender each month along with my payment so they can see the current status of the loan. This sheet has a table where I enter the month being reported into a key cell, and then the other cells use the VLOOKUP function to find that month's row on the first sheet's table and then pull specific monthly values into this table.
This all works fine so far, but I would like to be able to automatically generate the statement reports for January through December for a particular year and save those as PDF (either separate files per month or as pages within one PDF files). Right now, to do this, I have to manually: 1) type in month and year into the key cell (the statement then updates with the date from that date.) 2) Print 3) save as PDF 4) change name 5) click save 6) repeat as many times as I have months
is there some way to get Numbers to iterate a cell through specific range of months and either create a multi-page output that can then be printed to PDF or even better just save it directly to PDF?
Thanks in advance.petersas07 wrote:

Can I save as pdf when printing from a Java applet on a webpage in Safari?
I am trying to use a webpage that is running a Java applet. A dialog comes up that asks me, "Do you want to run this application?" The dialog also says, "This application will run with limited access that is intended to protect your computer and personal information." I select "Run". The applet generates an image I want to print. There is a "Print" button on the applet. I select "Print". A Security Warning dialog comes up that says, "The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?" I select "OK". The Print dialog comes up. I choose the PDF button in the lower left corner. I choose "Save as PDF...". A second Print dialog comes up. I input a title in the Save As box. I choose Desktop in the Where box. I do not change anything else and select the "Save" button. A dialog appears that says, "Print Error while printing." There is an icon with paper, a pencil, a ruler and a paintbrush on the dialog.
Is this an issue with Apple and Java security? Does "run with limited access" mean I can't print and save as PDF? Should I upgrade to Mavericks? It seems like others have not been happy with Mavericks and have had problems saving as PDF with Mavericks. How do I let Apple know about this error? The error dialog is useless.
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.2. My Java version is 7 update 51.
What other information can I provide to help solve the problem (if it can be solved)?
Thank you for your help!Correction I would like to save as PDF/A-1b

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!

An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
GOOD NEWS
I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
(1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
(2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
(3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
(4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
(5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
(6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
(7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
(8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
(9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
(10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
DON'T USE PDFWRITER
The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
Case 3: Acrobat 3
Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.
- DovYou're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Save as PDF not working suddenly
As of yesterday, unable to use the *'Save as PDF'* feature in the print dialogue.
Clicking on Save as PDF produces no result window (file name as save location). In fact, none of the options under PDF button works, neither does the Preview button.
Happening with all applications. No font conflicts. Permissions repaired.
Only way to make this feature work now is by
1. manually deselecting the default printer (Epson)
2. manually selecting Adobe PDF 9
3. clicking on the PDF button
4. selecting Save as PDF select +(not Print: no file is pdf-ed or saved anywhere)+
~ and the original workflow is back (save dialogue box pops up, etc.)
All of this should happen almost automatically, as before. Assume something is broken / corrupted.
Any help would be appreciated, as I use this feature a lot.Reinstalled SL over current installation and updated to 10.6.1.
'Save as PDF" still doesn't work.
If 'Save as PDF' is an Automator workflow, here's a clue perhaps...
In user>library>pdf services, found a workflow reading 'Save As PDF-X.workflow'. When clicked, opened up the Automator library with the following message:
"The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below.
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents. Some behavior may have changed."
Anyone? -
Save as PDF option in MS Word 2007 does not create TOC links
Hello All,
i am using Microsoft Office Word 2007 to create How to Guides, Installation Manuals, and other technical documents. I send these documents to customer in PDF format.
When i use "Save as PDF" option of MS Word 2007 to generate PDF file, it creates the PDF but without TOC links. TOC entries are there but hyperlinks are missing.
Can anyone please provide me a solution to work around this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

http://www.msentouragerecovery.comHi,
It seems that you are trying to insert a Hyperlink in you document which you want to save as a PDF file from Word 2007,
but when you open the PDF file there is no such a Hyperlink but only the website address.
If there is anything misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
Try this:
When you have inputted the website address, enter an “Space” or “Enter” behind it to make it
turn into a Hyperlink before you save the document into PDF file.
Sincerely,
Fangfang -

Help! I want to make Wordles for the teachers at my kids school for Teacher Appreciation Week.YES!!!!!!!
I was pulling my hair out last night over this. I noticed the Find function was not working properly. I KNEW there was something in the PDF and Preview was not showing it. I spent 2 hours trying to find someone with a similar Find function problem, but could not find much. Also, it could not copy and paste text. I KNOW it worked before because I had taken notes on this particular PDF and had copy and pasted whole paragraphs for myself into Pages. Which is what got me searching online tonight.
I re-downloaded the same PDF. When first opened in Preview, the Find and copy/paste functions worked. Same thing in Acrobat reader and Acrobat Pro. After confirming this, I re-opened it in Preview, highlighted some text and closed. It asked to Save Changes and I did. I immediately re-opened it, and guess what? Find no longer works and neither does copy/paste. Just to be sure, I tried re-opening in Acrobat reader and Pro; same thing. No copy/paste, corrupted Find feature. Well, copy/paste sort of functions, its just that it pastes a square with an alien head in it that says "Private Use 100000 Plane 16".
And finally, on some PDFs that have not even been saved in Preview, the Find function is not working properly also. It happened on the re-downloaded PDF I just talked about. It finds many instances of the word, bit the left and right arrows next to "Found on X# Pages are greyed out and do not move through the document. Once I go to the left pane that displays page thumbnails and click on a few different ones, THEN it starts working.
So yes, Apple, Preview is corrupting PDF files upon save, AND it is not working properly on other files. Please fix this. PLEASE.
And my specs are the same as Gary; iMac 27 inch Late 2009, Yosemite 10.10.1. Is ANYONE else having this issue with a different Mac? -
File was view only, won't save to PDF - log: OffendingCommand: text (Framemaker 11)
I have been printing a book successfully for weeks now, and today did an edit to one chapter in the book. Now when I save the book as PDF, I get this in the log:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: Text ]%%
Stack:
/Body
/T
-mark-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I thought I fixed it because it was originally producing a "view only file" message (for the one chapter that I changed) while generating. I renamed the file, turn the lock on and off, and don't get the view only message, but still no PDF, either save-as-pdf of the individual chapter or the whole book.
Can anyone help? I've never encountered this.
Thanks in advance.
JimThanks, Arnis. This is the entire text from the log file:

Save as PDF stopped working since updating
I am using Photoshop/Lightroom Photography CC, Office 2010 on Windows 7 Home (64bit).
Since updating to the latest version of Photoshop in the last week or so, saving as a PDF file seems to have stopped working in Word & Excel.
Could there be a link?
I'm pretty sure I haven't made any other changes, or Windows updates.
The response from Excel is "Document not saved" and from Word it's "The export failed due to an unexpected error." No other indication of what the problem might be and nothing in the Event Logs.
I have tried repairing Office but that hasn't helped.
Why do these niggles always bite you just when things are at their most stressful!! :-)
Thanks,
RoyOK - I did a Restore to a point the day before the Photoshop updates were released. The Restore point told me that only Photoshop and Lightroom would be affected. After the Restore Lightroom was indeed at the earlier version but strangely, Photoshop wasn't.
However - the "Save to PDF" in Word & Excel were now working.
I Uninstalled Photoshop, and then reinstalled it and the latest version of Lightroom.
"Save to PDF" continued to work.
There are no Windows updates needed - that's all up to date.
So I have no idea what was causing the problem but at least it's now working and I can get on with things! Something corrupted I guess. But at least it doesn't look like the Photoshop/Lightroom upgrade was anything to do with it!
