Whether I save the custom settings to the "Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings" from the PDF preferences or use Distiller to modify the settings and try to save (running distiller as administrator), I am unable to load a joboptions file.

How do I share a custom PDF export setting?

I have a PDF export setting that I use for a specific printer in my shop and I want to provide it to a customer.
I'm on a Mac running Maverick (OSX 10.9.4)
Where does the setting file live and how does my customer install it?
thanks

Hi pdndesign,

Share saved optimize settings?

Optimization settings include options unavailable in distiller settings ("Discard external cross references" is of special interest). The "PDF Optimizer" screen in Acrobat Pro X includes an option for saving optimizer settings. (To reach the screen, select File > Save As > Optimized PDF.) Is there a way to then share those settings with others? I have a team of 15 people who create their own PDFs, and I'd like them to all use the same optimization settings. Obviously I don't want to have to set up each user's settings individually.

Customizing PDF page size

I have a 5 x 3 (index card) template in Word 2007 - in Portrait
I want to create a PDF of this document that I will use on an iPod Touch
When I Print Preview in Word, I get the 5 x 3 size preview. Looks perfect!
I selected Adobe PDF in the Printer Dialog box - clicked Properties - Adobe PDF Settings tab - and Added an Adobe PDF Page Size of 5 x 3 named "Index Card" - then selected it in the Adobe PDF Page Size drop-down.
When I print to PDF, I get my card printed on 8.5 X 11 in landscape - with the text a small portion of the page - centered and right justified.
I want to see a 5" x 3" pdf page size with my text filling the page.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Acrobat 7.0 Standard.

Thank you, GKaiseril. Your suggestions helped me resolve this.
For the record, here's the steps:
In MS Word, File > Print > Click Properties button > Click Adobe PDF Settings > Click ADD and create a custom defined "Index Card" size (Width = 3, Height = 5) then click Add/Modify to close the Add Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Verify that the Adobe PDF Page Size combobox shows "Index Card"
In the MS Word Print Dialog Box, select Adobe PDF as the Printer, and in the lower RH Corner, in the Scale To Paper Size combobox select "Index Card".
I found that I have to set the Scale To Paper Size combobox each time I print, or it defaults back to "Letter".
Hope this helps!

Javascript to download a custom pdf

Hi all,
I am a pretty adept captivate user, but really have no javascript skill. I have a button in my project, that when pressed I want to download a custom pdf that pulls from a jpg image and two project variables. (Essentially I'm creating a certificate but I don't want to be limited to the certificate widget). Does anyone have same sample script for executing this that they could share?
Thanks!

You can use a procedure like this to allow a download of your file stored as a bfile (in a directory):
   PROCEDURE download_bfile (
      file_in        IN   VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'test.txt',
      directory_in   IN   VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'DATA_PUMP'
   AS
      lob_loc    BFILE;
      v_mime     VARCHAR2 (48) DEFAULT 'application/txt';
      v_length   NUMBER;
   BEGIN
      lob_loc := BFILENAME (directory_in, file_in);
      v_length := DBMS_LOB.getlength (lob_loc);
      OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (v_mime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
      HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
      HTP.p (   'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'
             || SUBSTR (file_in, INSTR (file_in, '/') + 1)
             || '"'
      OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
      WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
   END download_bfile;To make this procedure working from apex, you can use approach similar to this one:

Unknown error - (PARM), .pdf settings and Illustrator problems

I am using Illustrator CS3, and recently I no longer had choices for .pdf settings when saving from Illustrator as a .pdf. The only setting is "Custom" and I can't scroll to another choice. As I understand it, if I load .pdf settings in Illustrator they are available in all Adobe applications (very possibly wrong about that), but when I choose Edit: Adobe PDF Presets, I get an error message: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. (PARM)". Also when I try to save an .eps file as an AI document, I get the message "An unknown error has occurred."
I have thrown away my preferences to no avail, and am afraid I am going to have to reload Illustrator CS3, which I downloaded last year and do not have the disks for, I which I am having a very hard time trying to download again. (This part I guess I have to call about).
I usually work in Quark, but recently worked in some files in InDesign, and that's when this started, I think. Perhaps a coincidence. Many thanks in advance for any help.

AM,
Okay, so sorry. But you and Wade are official, right? Can you help point me
in the right direction for getting replacement disks for my legally
purchased software Or getting download help so that I might re-download?
We are rather unofficial natives here. You should contact Adobe Customer Support about downloading.
You should be able to get rid of the error if you Move the folder, but it is still worth having the backup, even if you upgrade.

Custom Picture Settings for Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A

Does anyone wish to share their custom picture settings (contrast, brightness etc.) for the Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A? The vivid default is to bright, so I have been trying to come up with a custom setting and would like to hear what has worked for other owners.
Thanks.

Well, it turns out that I neglected to include a critical piece of info in my post. This behavior was occuring when using my Harmony 550 remote with the Insignia TV.
I tested the behavior with the remote that came with the TV and the settings were saved. So I went to change the settings on my Harmony remote when I discovered Logictech had a software update that included the Insignia TV. Installing that update fixed the issue.
And in case anyone else reads this, I am very pleased with this television set. I had to learn a few things about HDTV first though to get everything out of it that it offers.

Help! How do I remove PDF Settings??

Hi Folks,
I need some quick help please. We've removed the default PDF settings (such as: Smallest File Size, Press Quality, PDF/X, etc.) in order to use only our custom settings for output (this is so our users don't get confused and use the wrong settings).
Removing the defaults from these two places:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Distillr\Settings
works for about 3 months, then mysteriously some kind of auto-run installer asks to re-install the settings triggered by I don't know what. Our users always click yes, thus re-installing all the defaults again, and switching our default PDF setting back to "Standard".
Ack! How do I turn this auto-intall off, or disable it?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Zak

Hi Bill,
Thanks, but that's not an option. If the default settings are there, someone will use them, and cause a problem in our company. My boss wants there to be no other settings, and I agree.
Why doe they auto-reinstall after I delete them? they don't seems to be necessary for creating PDFs. I certainly can make a PDF without having any defaults intalled.
How do I remove them permanently? Anyone??
Zak

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

How do I adjust the PDF settings on my mac?

I am having major problems learning to use my mac.
I have docs that I have edited in Word for Mac.
In windows, I used to be able to easily press Print, PDF, then choose the level of PDF I wanted.
Now. I hit print, PDF, then Save PDF As, etc.
Result:
1. Tells me "The borders of Section 1 are outside the printable boundaries. Do you want to continue"
I have gone back and done everything I can think of, but it still will not include a slither of the bottom portion of each page of the completed PDF. Seriously ***? Why not at least prompt me on how to fix this.
2. The resulting PDF is 14.5 MG. The original Word doc was weighing in at 2.5. Why is it making my doc bigger?? Despite continual searching, I can not find how I adjust the PDF settings to make it a light, emailable PDF. If I choose Send PDF as email, the result is the same. A big 14 MG file. This is driving me insane.
I can not now use my mac to do the most simple, yet urgently necessary task I must often do, which is create a doc, pdf it and email it.

Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import settings

I've been re-ripping all my CDs at the new higher bit rate. My import settings were AAC Encoder -- custom, originally set to 256 kbps, VBR, and auto for the other two settings. However, some CDs I wanted at a lower setting, so I would go change the bit rate to either 192 or 224 (just so I'd have more room on my ipod) and there wouldn't be a problem. But now it's stuck -- the pop-up box no longer opens when I choose import settings, AAC Encoder, Custom, so I can't change the bit rate or anything else, and it's stuck on 224 kbps. I can still change bit rate and other settings in the custom menus for MP3, WAV, etc., just not AAC. A repair install of iTunes did not fix the problem.

Hi, Ed. I am running iTunes 9.0.3.15. When I click custom, the settings description in the details box display what they were before this thing happened = 112 kbps (mono)/224 kbps (stereo), VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2. The pop-up dialogue box that used to appear (where you could choose the specific bit rate from the drop down menu) does not appear at all.
However, when I choose anything other than AAC Encoder, and then pick custom, the pop-up box appears and I can choose the bit rate and adjust the other settings as usual. It's just not happening for AAC Encoder anymore. Since the total un-install (following Apple's specified order) and reinstall didn't work, I'm baffled how to fix this .... (If it makes a difference, I changed the bit rate in the custom box while a CD was being burned...Apparently that was stupid, but I had done it previously without incident.) Thanks.

Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

Custom PDF Page Size Disappears

When I add custom PDF page sizes in the "Printing Preferences" dialog box, they disappear when I restart my computer and I have to create them all over again.

Custom page sizes are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms. Is this a local install of Acrobat?

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture?

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture
Hi,
I am printing 12x18" images on 13x19" sheets. I find it difficult to enter the 13x19" dimensions because each value jumps to another random value when I move to enter the second dimension. For instance 13 jumps to, say, 8.5 as I type 19 into the second box. Same with the sheet dimensions.
Also, when I finally get it all correctly, the margins don't set themselves automatically - which I would I expect.
Then, even though I save the setting by clicking Save Setting at the gear below, next time I turn Aperture on, it's all gone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Raphael

For me, it is working with these settings, Raphael.
Does your image have a 12x18" aspect ratio? You may want to crop it to the desired aspect ratio before printing.
I can only test with Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite 10.1.
