Saving a SharePoint Page to PDF

We have a client who wanted a custom built newsletter on their site that could be saved out as a pdf when published and stored in an external document library. Originally they were going to use Adobe X, but it keeps generating a blank page at the beginning
of each pdf and removing all styles and formatting. I was hoping someone on here might know of an alternate solution for saving a SharePoint page as a PDF.
Thanks.

Here are a few options:

I have not used these tools personally - but Bing sure likes them ;-)

Print or Save as PDF a SharePoint Page with Reports

HI,
I have a SharePoint Page (.aspx) on which I have few tables and a chart web part within a web part zone.
I want to generate a PDF with all the data from tables with formatting and with generated report in chart web part.
We have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition and using browser Internet Explorer 8.
Is there any way that we can achieve this using Client Side Scripting like JavaScript, ECMAScript as we don't have an control over server.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I can't offer any help with developing a solution with client-side code, but how about using a PDF printer like CutePDF Writer (disclosure: I have no relation to the makers of this
product, it's simply an application I have used for a number of years to my satisfaction and there are many other products that will do the same thing).
Print the page and select the PDF printer and select an output PDF file. This can work if you have administrative control on the machines that are generating the reports.

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"
try
-- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles
tell document 1
try
set visible of layer "ImagesTag_Layer" to true
end try
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
with timeout of 700 seconds
print using myPreset without print dialog
end timeout
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point
with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Saving art boards to a PDF - huge file size

I have a file with multiple art boards with a lot of high res imagery on each one. I need to save these files to PDF individually (or two, three at a time) for my purposes, but when I do, the PDF size seems to encompass the entire file, rather than just the art boards I've chosen to export. For instance, I have 10 Art Boards, but I only export Artboard 1 and 5 to a PDF - my resulting PDF is huge. But, if I were to create a new, separate file with just the two art boards and saved as a PDF from there, my PDF size is about 20% the size. Obviously, I don't want to have to recreate these files every time I want to save as a PDF, which is why I wanted them all in one file to begin with.
Any ideas on how to manage this?

Just export those pages as PDF and make sure you don't check "Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" in PDF options

Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

Hi Reggie,
I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

Convert web page to pdf no longer works

I have win7/ office 2010/ IE 8/ acrobat pro 9.0. Previously on win xp/ office 2010/ acrobat standard/ IE 7 - I used to be able to right mouse and from the drop down menu 'convert to pdf' while on a web page or Sharepoint page, and the links to documents would remain active. But lost that ability when we upgraded from win xp to win 7. I just upgraded from standard to pro thinking that would fix the problem, but it hasn't. I read several of the other discussions but either the pro version is higher than mine, or IE is higher. I can't upgrade from IE 8 to IE 9 as our internal programs don't yet support this. According to what I can see, I have no add-ons, but wouldn't know what to add anyway. I also tried the Internet options/ advanced/ browsing/ enable third party browser extensions, but I do not have permissions to turn that on. Please advise how I can make the 'convert to pdf' operational again.

I am guessing that you have not updated AA 9 and are likely running on a 64-bit machine. If you expect things to work, you will need to do the updates. But even then you may have problems. With OFFICE 2010, you will not be able to use the PDF Maker from AA 9. For PDF Maker to work you would have to upgrade. That may be true of the IE version you are using also. You will probably have to either open the URL within Acrobat or open the browser and print.

Problem with italic text when saving a pse-project to pdf

We work with Photoshop Elements 6 and Photoshop Elements 7
When we save a pse-project (multiple psd-pages) to pdf and use italic text then the letters of the text is disordered in line.
I have attached a file with two textlayers. In the first layer i've set the word "italic" to italic and the hole layer is bad. The second layer without italic text is good.
With normal PSD files saved into PDF we have no problems.
Does anybody knows a work around/patch or know anyone if this only a problem in these old versions?

Actually any export of PDF page content to another file formate (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) will need touch up / clean up in the native application 99 44/100 ths of the time.
While a well-formed Tagged PDF (e.g., ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant) can export to Word and call for little to no touch up / clean up PowerPoint is something else.
In the example the background color, text size, color and postion are well within the ball park. To "fine tune" would (of course) call for post-processing.
Be well...

Merging .psd's and .pdf's into single pdf, only showing 1st page of pdfs :(

I am merging .psd's and multi-page pdf's into a single pdf. When I import the other .pdfs and then save, it is only saving the first page. How can I fix this? I very much appreciate the help.

To my knowledge you can't use Bridge for merging multi PDF files to one. You
can do so in Acrobat Pro. Also Apple Preview has limited options to merge
PDF, I believe you can merge a multi page PDF to a single page one with Drag
and option key pressed.
You should first create also PDF sheets for the PSD files. Remember that
huge file size creates also huge PDF files.
