Saving to PDF a top margin is added ?

Hi, when I save to PDF a A4 document I designed, a margin is added at the top of the page. Is there a way to avoid it ?
THanks

Yes the artboard is A4 vertical, the format in acrobat reader too, I verified than there is nothing at the top in illustrator...
Maybe a security margin because some objet are too near the top ??

Printing pdf files made from Filemaker docs on HP 7410 cuts off top margin

Just bought a MacBook Pro and jumped from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Also bought FileMaker 10 replacing the FileMaker 8.5 I used up till the MacBook Pro purchase and system upgrade.
Still using the same HP 7410, but during installation, I think I remember upgrading the printer driver. At any rate, this HP Printer is now much more responsive. It was previously very slow.
When I now save documents printed as pdf's from filemaker (as I used to) and then try to print them on the HP 7410, they open fine in Preview showing the whole page with no text cut off. But when I press Print in preview and I get the HP driver preview of what will print as part of the print dialogue box, it shows the top margin of the page cut off (down to at least 1/2 ") and actually prints that way. Before the switch to Snow Leopard and the MacBook Pro, a top margin of 1/4 " worked fine and printed in pdf docs.
(top margins of 1/4" on Word & Excel documents I tested still seem to print fine)
I use the borderless printing work-around, but that seems inelegant. It also takes much, much............much longer to print when it's in that mode (even fast draft).
Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Can this be fixed?
Steve

What print driver are you using?
I set my printer to use the open source Gutenprint driver in place of the one supplied with my printer to resolve an issue I was having - see my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1626340&tstart=0
The Gutenprint home page is http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

Saving to PDF changes margins

When saving to PDF in print settings, it cuts off the bottom lines. How do I change the margins in the PDF to stop this happening

Try setting the scale to 98% or thereabout. Or if your printer can print borderless on letter sized paper set it up for that before selecting Save to PDF.

How to print deposit number in top margin and reset pagination eavh change

I am using Report Builder 6.0.8.27.0 against a version 10 database
I have a built a report that works properly. It consists of about 1800 mineral deposits with one main frame cycling on the mineral deposit number and the frame contains a whole bunch of repeating frames containing detail information. Each mineral deposit may be one and 20+ pages long. The report works properly but I need to make the following additions..
1) At present, the mineral deposit number is only displayed on the first page of the report 'segment'. What I would like to do is have the deposit number displayed in the top margin on each page, next to the title but I am not sure how to do this.
I began by creating a field in the top margin, but when I change the Source of the Field (in the property palette) to the deposit number (a database field) I get the following error:
REP-1213: Field 'F-1' references column MDD_NO at a frequency below its group. This is obviously because this is in the margin and the deposit number occurs within the main repeating frame.
Any suggestions how I might do this - I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with reports - and don't have any good reference material at my fingertips. (Only the help files and digging through them is painful - especially when one is not sure what one is looking for.)
Any help woule be appreciated.
2) I would also like to create a special page number/sequence where each deposit would have it's own set of pagination
ie.: Deposit-001 page 1
Deposit-001 page 2
etc
and then reset when the deposit number changes
Deposit-002 page 1
Deposit-002 page 2
Basically, the idea is to restart pagination at each change in deposit number and change the deposit number to the current one. Again, I don't know how to do this.
The report will appear as a large pdf - which I know has it's own pagination. The reason I want the Deposit number and it's page sequence to appear in the top margin is to make it easier for the client to identify which pages belong to which deposit when they print out and work with 4 or 5 different deposits sets at the same time.
I realize I can achieve this by printing one pdf for each deposit, but 1800 individual pdf's is a bit much. to handle.
Thanks for whatever help you can give me

Setting different top margin for first page

I have been trying to set a 5cm top margin for the first page of a thesis chapter and a 2.5 cm top margin for the rest of the pages to conform to requirements. I have set a section break and gone into Inspector to make first page different but I still get any margin changes on the first page through the whole document. I do what HELP says but it isn't working. Anyone help me out before I go troppo?

The easiest way to do this, especially if all the text ina particular chapter is in the same section, is to just set the 'before' value in the Layout Inspector. As text flows from one page to the next, it will conform to the global setting. If you insert a Section Break, the new section will start on a new page and the first line will be down the same amount as your initial chapter page. If you insert a layout break it will also be moved down that initial amount.
If you want to capture this behavior you can capture multiple pages to use as well. Some of the preset templates have multiple pages where the first page has different characteristics than the subsequent pages added when oyur text overflows from the first page.

Saving a PDF crops to artwork and not the artboard

I have read a few posts on the web regarding this issue and was wondering if anybody here has a solution.
Since upgrading to CC, when saving our PDFs they now crop to the boundaries of the artwork and not to the artbord like in previous versions. I work in a PDF enviroment and we have a program that relies heavily on XMP data - one of which is the X and Y co-ordinates of the artwork in relation to the top-left corner of the artboard, however now, when artwork goes outside of the artboard or doesn't fill the artboard, the resulting PDF crops to the artwork thus changing the X and Y co-ordinates of where artwork is positioned on the page.
Is this a bug that is likely to be fixed or has a feature changed that I don't know about.

This is in Illustrator CC Version 17. It is fine when you open them back in Illustrator. I have also noticed that from Illustrator if you do a 'Save As', select PDF, then select one of the PDF presets (I use 'Press Quality) the resulting PDF when opened in Reader displays how I want it, with the artwork as it was positioned on the Illustrator artboard (not cropped). If I then open in Illustrator again, make a change to the artwork, and select 'Save' (not 'Save As') when opened back in Reader the file is cropped again.

Swf saved as pdf not displaying when opened

Hi All,
I am in the process of creating a media kit for my company. The plan is to be able to send out a link to the pdf file saved in our site files so that potential clients can click and view or download the pdf. I have saved the pdf in my site files however; when you go to the link (http://www.hobnobtv.com/pdf/hobnobtv-media-kit.pdf) it only opens a white blank pdf file.
Here are the steps i've taken to create the file:
I have created the 10page booklet using InDesign CS4 and added the page turn page transition on all the pages.
I exported the file as swf and then opened the swf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
When opening the swf in Acrobat the activation setting I choose are:
Enable when: The page containing the content is opened
Disable when: The page containing the content is closed
Save the pdf file
Uploaded to the site
What could be causing the pdf to appear white and blank? Is there a better way to accomplish the goal?
I look forward to hearing others thoughts!
Rebecca

Thank you for the response!
Actually, I finally realized (and i'm a little embarassed to admit) that when I click on the link for the pdf, my default program to open the file was set to Preview rather than adobe acrobat or reader. So now that I have it set to Acrobat I see it ok.
I have tested the swf file by itself and it does work. The file uses the Page Turn transition affect, so the user needs to click the bottom right corner of each page to turn (or they can click and drag the page open). I did notice when the pdf was opend the little note I included in the bottom right of the first page does not show (it reads "click here to turn page"- as a prompt for the user). I may have to move that up a little bit so it shows. Also, if you hover over the bottom right corner of the right page, you should start to see the page corner curl, this is hard to see at this point (you can see it great if you click the zoom in option once) Maybe i'll have to reduce the size of the swf when making it a pdf to see if that works so the user doesn't have to adjust the page to see the affect.
I'll see how that works.

"#" character showing up when saving as PDF in FM 8?

Hello,
We've used FM for years, for operator and service manuals - we just upgraded to FM8, and have a new problem. When we save as a PDF, we get the # character at random points in the PDF - there is no rhyme or reason for their appearance or their location.
We've applied both FM patches, we've tried different fonts and different PDF profiles,and nothing works. It sounds similar to the problem that was being had with the question marks showing up randomly, but unfortunately the latest patch didn't work. Any ideas?
If you'd like to see the original FM file and the PDF file that has the "added" characters, please email me at [email protected] and I will send to you.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

Further to my original post, further info as follows:
Platform: Windows XP, SP2 both PCs that this happens on are fully functional for Graphics we run CS3 Master Suite, Corel, Quark, etc.
Weve applied the patches, through the Adobe Updater (the download link doesnt work) version is 8.0p273
We used the File - Save As PDF option saving as either a High Quality or X1a PDF (but weve tried all types, to rectify the problem it persists with all options).
Thanks again for any help!

When saving to PDF in Preview . . .

When saving to PDF in Preview, how can I eliminate the borders that are automatically added? Thanks.

Here's the screenshot. Note the white border. Another party has pointed out that the way to fix it is to create a custom paper size (Print Dialog --> Paper size --> Manage custom sizes --> set up a custom 8.5 x 11 page with zero borders all around.). It works! H/T to Kirk Slowe.

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.

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/
Thanks,

Keep dimensions on JPG saved from PDF

The end purpose of my project is to create a PDF that a client can save as JPG after adding their name and number etc... (for use in an email signature).
1. I saved a PDF from Indesign (page size set up width: 523px and height:146px)
2. Open the PDF and added form fields.
3. Open PDF, use the fields to add name, number etc
4. Save as other > image > JPEG
If it is saved as 72ppi it stays 523px x 146px BUT the text is illegible.
If it is saved as 96ppi it changes to 698px x 195px and so on... dimensions getting bigger as the resolution is increased.
I sort of get why it's doing this but I want the image to stay 523px x 146px and be readable. The client should not have to manually resize the image back down when inserting into email signature if you know what I mean...
Cheers

Trust me, I've tried all settings. But I'll see what other formats could be used
This is saving as PNG
This is JPG set on Max quality at 96ppi
If I increase the output resolution, the dimensions get bigger. I want them to stay same width but higher definition (resolution)
