Saving PDF error

I'm using Illustrator CS2.
So I'm trying to save an Illustrator file (.ai) as a PDF file. With Illustrator as the only application open I tried to save a 78MB .ai file as a PDF. I then recieved this error message: "The operation cannot be complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available."
I have 79.4 GB of 232 GB free space on my C drive. On my backup HD I have 306 GB available. I tried saving the file as a PDF to both locations and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It may be related to the type of graphic you have in your document.
RAM memory isn't your disk space.
When you save the file in illustrator format try using create pdf compatible file.
Even though it is .ai file it will still open with acrobat. (right click - open with and select acrobat from the list).
You can even change .ai extension to .pdf and it should stil open with acrobat.
try this to see any other problems will arise.

Error loading/saving PDF presets

Error loading/saving pdf presets
I am using CS4 and Windows 7. I have a .joboptions file I want to load in InDesign, but when I try, I get the error message: Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected.
I am a local administrator on the computer.
I have tried manually copying the .joboptions file into the folder C:\Users\<my profile>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings, but it doesn’t show up in the list of available presets.
I used the same version of InDesign with Windows XP and was able to load and save presets this way just fine.

Thank for the tip. But unfortunately it is only a partial solution.
When I 'run as administrator' in Windows 7 I have no problems, that is a bit of a solution, but for me it is a mere workaround.
I want to find out how I can load and save PDF export settings without running as Adminstrator, since we have 7 people using the presets and they don't want to run InDesign everytime as an Administrator.
I have all the rights (local admin) to all folders, therefore I was hoping somebody already fixed this in his/her system...
Hope Adobe comes up with some sort of solution for this apperently Windows 7 problem.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Clip Notes .pdf error - "Bad encrypt dictionary"

I'm using OS X Leopard (10.5)
I created a Premiere Pro 2.0.1 project, added a couple of markers with comments, and exported to Clip Notes. I did not set any password protection. Emailed it as an attachment to a client who is using Windows, to see if they could open it. They could not, they received the following error message:
"There was an error opening this document. Bad encrypt dictionary."
Any ideas what this is? Is there a basic incompatibility between Mac-generated Clip Notes files and Windows platform? (I know that Mac can only export the video file in a Clip Notes .pdf as QuickTime, but that does not seem to be the problem here, the client does have QT on their Windows PC.)
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I could not find any obvious place to post questions about Clip Notes .pdf files.

Same thing happened to me. Update your adobe reader to the latest version. Open the file with that reader instead of with your copy of adobe acrobat. Unfortuanltey, you lose all the features of the adobe software, but at least you can read the file.
Hope you are able to read the doucments from the utility.
Note: If you are saving pdf's save then in a version that will allow those who have at least acrobat 6.0. Many orgnaizations and people are a couple of versions behind due to realative costs of upgrading. This simple task will save you those emails about "bad encrypt dictionary" and allow many to read your pdf's with no problems. At least that's been my experience.

Opening the saved pdf output

Hi,
We are facing a strange problem. We are running the oracle report 6i from the browser. The output is in PDF format. We are able to see the output in Pdf format in the browser and are able to take the printout also. When the save button is pressed the file is getting saved with the name given. But the problem is we are unable to open the saved Pdf file. It gives the error, "unable to repair the file". Have any idea?

Yes. We saved the report after taking the printout. Even then we are unable to open those pdfs. Though this is the case for most of the reports, there are some reports working fine also. We don't find any difference betweeen them.

Slices/lines in saved pdf files

Hi, I've been saving my pdf files from illustrator cs5 and every once in a while the saved pdf shows these lines slicing through parts of the image. They kind of look like the box outlines when you select an object in illustrator. I didn't think they would show up in the final prints but they did. Makes it look like someone scratched the image or something. Weird.
Anyways I made the image in illustrator a bit smaller, and it came out nicer when I printed as pdf that time, but if I zoom out a bit the lines show up again, so I don't know if it's going to show up again if I have it printed. I'm using expensive paper so I don't want to trial and error this any further if it can be avoided.
Thanks.

Please repost in the Illustrator forum. Your question doesn't not concern Workflow issues.

Uploading a previously saved pdf

When I try and upload a previously saved pdf I get the following error message, "At least one signature has problems. You cannot save data typed into this form."

What do you mean by searchable? It is a scan or what? If it is regular text you simply use ctrl-F to find a word. If it is a picture, you have to run OCR. For a legal document, you probably want to retain the scan as is and put the search behind it. So you would select OCR and set the option to searchable and exact -- not changing the graphic. There is a second searchable option that reduces the graphic some, but might be a bad choice for legal work. Realize that the searchable option will add a layer of text on a layer behind the graphics and the file will expand in size. The third alternative is ClearScan that actually replaces text found with the text and only retains the graphics for non-text parts. This latter is probably not appropriate for a legal use.
Consider all the controversy over Obama's PDF of his birth certificate. That is a case where retaining the original graphic would have been appropriate. Instead the PDF came out looking as though it had been manipulated. For legal documents, this is where retaining the original is important. I am not sure of the status of legal documents from a PDF perspective, but at least I have tried to give you some heads up. There may actually be some lawyers who drop by that could comment.

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?

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
Screen cap from Illustrator:
Screen cap of PDF:
Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
Thanks for looking!

Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

Problem saving pdf from preview

Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.
12" powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document. Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens. I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now. It makes no sense.
When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat. I'm stumped. I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet. I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

PDF Error in Performance Management

Hi
When launching the Performance Management link from Manager Self Service (Role) --> Talent Management --> Performance Management I am getting the PDF error. Seems the page is trying to open the form in PDF, instead I want it to be displayed in html itself.
For Travel Expense form I have changed the URL parameter "sap.xss.tra.UsePdf=true" for the resource EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05.
What is the PCD Object and the resource key for the corresponding Performance Management iView.
Thanks,
Murthy

Did you get this error in the initial landing page?
Please detail out the error. And for the pcd location, it depends on the role you created unless you are using standard objects.
This iview should have a webdynpro application.

File does not begin with '%pdf' error with adobe reader 10.1.5 onwards

In our web application we are using activePDF toolkit (3rd party component) to fill up carrier forms on the fly which are PDF files.
The output file processed by the above library works fine when opened with adobe reader 8, 9 and10 on end user’s browser (IE); however, it gives below error when opening with adobe reader 11.
Till now, we have tried different settings at IIS level, Internet explorer e.t.c. suggested on different internet posts. However, we are still facing the problem.
While analyzing this we have come across following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
According to this adobe 10.1.5 onward file should only start with "%pdf". If file start with other than this we get file corrupted message.
Before we can communicate this message to client we want to confirm this for experts. Please let me know my assumption is right?

Rahti - i'm having the same issue but I not familiar with the steps outlined in the Adobe link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
Would you be able to help with how I can navigate to this on my PC to correct it for me.
Thanks.
