Saving As PDF errors in FM10

I have been producing PDFs by using Save As PDF instead of Print Book because I have an EPS file that gets screwed up during color conversion (I need to uncheck that color conversion option). Today is the first time I have noticed the following error message appearing in the FrameMaker Console after I produce a PDF using the Save As PDF option (and this message has appeared for multiple books that I have been making PDFs of):
Save as PDF failed to post-process the PDF file for Reflow: Unable to save the reprocessed PDF file.
The PDF file should be intact and usable but may not reflow properly. Check that the destination PDF file is not in use or its permissions, then Save as PDF again. If the problem persists, please contact Adobe Technical Support.
What does this mean? All the PDFs look correct, print correctly, and get uploaded correctly, so I don't understand where the error is and what is causing it. Any ideas?
I am running FM10 and CS5.5 on a Windows 7 32-bit machine.
Thanks,
Smitty

Smitty,
When you use the Save As PDF option in FM, there are some automatic post-processing options that are applied in the background. These are specified in the maker.ini file, e.g.
FMMediaAnnot=Standard, Post-process PDF for Media Annot,fminit\fmmediaannot.dll,all
FRAME2pdf=Standard, Post-process PDF for 3D Annot,fminit\frame2pdf.dll,all
PDFSize=Standard, Optimize PDF Size, fminit\pdfsize.dll,all
FMPDFReflow=Standard, Post-process PDF for Reflow, fminit\fmpdfreflow.dll,all
It looks like, in your case, the PDF reflow module isn't able to properly grab the PDF file (or perhaps write to a temp area to work with it) to do it's stuff. If you don't need the document for Accessibility nor created a Taggged PDF version, then you don't need this option anyway. You can disable it by commenting it out with a ";" at the start of the line the maker.ini file.

Financial Reporting Studio - pdf error

I have one FRS report that will not produce a pdf when running as a view in Workspace or when running as a batched report. All my other reports are working fine. This reports does preview/print in the Reporting Studio and works in HTML on Workspace. It also ran correctly in the past. Currently when opening in pdf format on Workspace it begins to run then displays a window with this message:
"Website cannot display the page"
When running in a batch the batch errors out with this message:
Executed "FOP/Income Statement Summary - RDD" successfully
Status for various save options for "FOP/Income Statement Summary - RDD"
Error while saving as PDF
Error unmarshaling return header; nested exception is:
java.io.EOFException
I can run the other reports in batch and they save correctly to the same place that this report should be going. So it not a permission issue to the directory where is should be saving the file.
Thanks in advance

Have you checked the logs? When I first saw the subject, I thought it was due to lack of Ghostscript installed on the FR Studio server, but looks like it is not the case.
Also a long shot, but does it happen in other machines?

Error While Saving As PDF

Hello,
We are on HFM 11.1.2.1.103 and financial reports 11.1.2.1.00 and I am having an issue when running a report batch. I have a batch that I run each month which contains a few reports which are emailed out to users. For some reason, the second time the batch runs on one of the reports for a different entity (using bursting on the entity) I get the below error message.
Error while saving as PDF
Index: 3, Size: 3
Any thoughts? The email goes out fine and the other reports are fine.
Thanks,
Jason

Check KM article id 1504257.1.
It says following solution :
1. On the FR server, navigate to Oracle \ Middleware \ EPMSystem11R1 \ products \ financialreporting \ bin.
2. Double-click FRConfig.cmd.
3. When the Java window (Java Monitoring & Management Console) pops up, click on the MBeans tab.
4. Expand com.hyperion > Financial Reporting > Attributes.
5. Locate the PrintServers entry. Remove any invalid server names from the Value field.
6. Stop and start the Hyperion Financial Reporting Web Application.

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.

I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
There is where i get the above error message :
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
If i do that i get the following message:
"The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
What is wrong with all this?
Can anyone help me out?

Unexpected form error when saving as PDF

I created a form and when I tried to save as PDF for offline input, I get an unexpected form error message. I only added open ended questions and name, email in the form. I used an existing template form and modified it (Market Research template)

Hi,
Thanks for sharing it. I was able to save the PDF form. I think I might know the issue. We've heard from other customers that they get an error when trying to save to disk (either from saving a PDF form, or exporting the submission). When we've heard this in the past, uprading to the latest Flash Player seemed to fix the issue.
Can you check and see what version of Flash you have? You can do this by going to here - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then try installing the latest version of Flash, from here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Photoshop CS6 - can't save as a PDF - error message

Hi - I am having problems saving a PDF in photoshop CS6.
There isn't an option to save as a PDF in the Save As function so I've been trying to do this through the Print Function.
When I get to the point where I press Save I get the following error messgae:
Any ideas why this is or how I can rectify this problem?!
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Without exact system info, details about the document, PDF settings used and so on nobody can tell you much. There could be any number of reasons why you neither can save as PDF nor print to PDF, the most obvious being an unsuitable color mode or a wrong document size.

Acrobat 10 has stopped saving ANY PDFs, old or new, scanned or downloaded

Help! Recently my Acrobat 10 has stopped saving ANY PDFs, old or new, scanned or downloaded. When I try to save a PDF a popup occurs telling me "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (8)." What can be done to fix this issue?

Hi rdabel,
This is a generic error message, while saving a file which has some corrupt data.
Can you please open the file, click on 'File - Properties', and under description, please check who is the PDF producer for a sample file.
Also, please share the exact version of Adobe Acrobat 10 (Help menu - About Adobe Acrobat 10). The latest version of Adobe Acrobat is 10.1.12. You can also try updating your Acrobat to the latest version (Help - Check for updates) to see if that works for you.
Thanks,

FrameMaker 7.0 & Distiller 5.0 - Saving to PDF crashes application

FrameMaker 7.0p579
Distiller 5.05
Windows XP SP2
Weve been unable to save FM files to PDF. I uninstalled FM, rebooted, reinstalled FM 7, and loaded patches 576, 578, 579. Now we receive this error message, after which the application just shuts down
Internal Error: 7004, 6055410, 7658227, 0

Anis-
1. Since I was the only one to offer Scott an alternative to try printing to a single file with a PostScript Printer added and generating a PDF using Distiller to see if he still was getting error messages, who are you talking about when you said "isn't that exactly what was recommended?"
2. May I suggest that you re-read your FrameMaker manual and FrameMaker online help as well as review Acrobat online help on PostScript Printers. No were does it say that the only way to generate a PDF is using FrameMaker's "Save Book As...".
Also no were does it say that a valid PostSCRIPT printer as a Tektronix 550 as I suggested is "inappropriate devices for postscript generation for PDFs" I think Tektronix would certaily question your statement, as would any any ProstScript printer manufacturer.
There are still service providers that use PostScript printers and RIPs that have PostScript printers set as their default printer. These business still use PostScript files to print with.
Adobe notes that there are more than 25 oem vendors that distribute PostScript throughout the world, where installations now number more than 20 million.
If you go to Adobe's web site and search on "PostScript Printers" there are 1780 results. If you do a search on "Postscript Files" there are 9310 results. The first is "Create PostScript Files for Create Adobe pdf Online" and the 4th is"How to Create PostScript Files for Files in a FrameMaker Book".
Are you trying to tell them not to use their PostScript printers by saying that this "can lead to problems for imageable areas, fonts, colour and transparency, postscript level, resolution, etc.?"
Here is what Adobe says about Creating PostScript files (This info directly copied from FrameMaker's online help)
Saving documents and books as Adobe PDF
You convert a FrameMaker document to Adobe PDF by setting options in the PDF Setup dialog box, and then saving the document as PDF. You can also print the document to a PostScript file, and then convert it. For information on printing to a PostScript file, see "Creating PostScript files" on page 36
You can create a description of a document called a PostScript file (also called a print file). You might use a PostScript file to download the document later to a PostScript printer or to send the document to a service provider for typesetting. In addition, you can create an Adobe PDF file;...
Distilling PostScript files manually (Windows, Mac OS, and Sun Solaris)
If you have Acrobat Distiller installed, you can convert documents to PDF files by creating a PostScript file and then distilling the file yourself. By using Distiller, you can explicitly set some advanced settings having to do with compression, font embedding, and color conversion. However, saving as PDF (see Saving documents and books as Adobe PDF) is often faster and more convenient and produces excellent results. In fact, if you can set up Distiller Job options beforehand, they become available in the Settings section of the PDF Setup dialog box in FrameMaker. Also, if you're working on a platform where Distiller is not available, you can create the PostScript file and then move it to another platform to distill it there.
To distill a document or book to a PDF file:
To ensure that Distiller will be able to process the resulting PostScript file, use the latest version of the AdobePS printer driver (installed with FrameMaker) and the Acrobat Distiller PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. Any other PPD file may be incompatible with Distiller.
Do one of the following:
Open a document and choose File > Print. In Mac OS, also choose FrameMaker 7.0 from the pop-up menu below the printer name.
Open a book and choose File > Print Book or File > Print Selected Files. In Mac OS, also choose FrameMaker 7.0 from the pop-up menu below the printer name.
Select Generate Acrobat Data to include the settings, and then click PDF Setup and set up the PDF file.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.
