Spacing Issues when making PDF of HTML file

I am making changes to a website and need to convert an html file into a pdf file (for easy printability on the website). When I try to create the PDF file (in Acrobat) by opening the HTML file, it does not keep the same formating. Anyplace there is a picture on right hand side of the page, the wording to the left of the picture drops to below the picture and I need it to stay next to the picture.
Any suggestions? Thanks

You might also have to change the paper size before you print. Keep in mind that HTML has a floating format and typically looks different on different machines.

Excel 2007 Formatting Issues When Making PDF

Running Excel 2007 on XP Pro. When I make a pdf file from an existing Excel file in Excel 2007 (originally created in Excel 2000), a lot of the formatting changes. Cells that were aligned to the center are now aligned to the top or bottom with no rhyme or reason.
I would hate to have to go through and fix all the alignment problems in Excel 2007.
Any suggestions or has anybody else had this problem?

Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a

Font substitution issues when creating PDF from PS file in Distiller

I am not sure if this post should go under Distiller Server, but it dont know if there is a difference between Distiller X and Distiller Server.
Context: I am trying to convert postscript files on my PC that originate from a unique Mac built program and unfortunately receive the following error message:
%%[ Warning: Helvetica not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-Bold not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-BoldOblique not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
When I try and convert the postscript font to a pdf in Acrobat Distiller X the font substitutes to Arial. I have a few versions of Helvetica on my PC but Distiller doesn’t recognise them.
My question is: how can I tell Distiller, as a default, to substitute to the Helvetica loaded on my PC rather than Arial so that I eliminate the error message and get an accurate pdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can set the folders in distiller by going to Settings. See these two pictures (click on them)
hope this helps.

A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS

I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
Window 7
Flash CS 5.5.0
AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
Let's get started.
On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
        private function loadExternalFile():void
            var webView = new StageWebView();
            webView.stage = this.stage;
            webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
            // Works with either html or pdf files.
            // These are stored in the root of the application directory.
            var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
            //var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
            var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
            var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
            try
                sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
                // You have to rename the temp file
                var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
                workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
                webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
            catch (err:Error) { }

I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.
gghhjhhbhbhhbhbjbhj....1
bv v vghvjvjnnnnnnnnn....2
When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.
Your help is appreciated.

Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

Smartform font spacing Issue when using SAP printer name

Hi Friends,
I am facing some spacing issues when printing a form using SAP printer name. If I use LOCL then the output comes perfectly but when I use the SAP printer name the space between characters are getting widened and so the alignment of each column goes wayward. I suspect it could be due to the device type but not sure which seeting controls this. There is a similar problem in the logo as well. When using LOCL the logo comes out good but when using the printer name the quality is not good and becomes pixelised. Have any of you faced similar issues? Can you provide some guidance or pointers for the solution.
Device type of LOCL : ZSAPWIN
Device type of SAP printer name : ZHPLJ5
CPI is defined in smartform as 10.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,
This problem occurs because the printer driver for both the printers are different,
I suggest you use Local printer only or configure any other printer with printer diver in SAP as SAPWIN.
Regards,
Bharat.

Jumbled text and spacing issues when creating a pdf

When I create pdfs from FrameMaker 9 or Word 2007 files, Acrobat 9 Pro often transposes characters or modifies the spacing between characters. Can anyone help?

I modified the settings according to the help page. I then built 5 pdfs and did not see evidence of the letter jumbling or spacing issues. Since this issue is intermittent, I cannot confirm that the problem is solved, but I am hopeful!

File formatting issues when saving PDF as PPTX in Acrobat XI Pro

Hi guys,
I have some issues when I'm saving my PDF (initially comming from InDesign) as PPTX. The format is suddenly changing, leaving a blank zone, and some of the pages are rotated.
Is it a problem comming from the Indesign or from the Acrobat options itself? I have already tried changing the chekboxes in the option box when I'm saving, but nothing worked.
If someone has an idea how to fix that, i would be very grateful! Thanks in advance

Which dot version of Acrobat XI are you currently using in your export? Is the PDF file tagged? If not, then you may want to tag the PDF file before exporting it.

Letter spacing wrong when generting pdf in web service

I have a turnkey JBoss Installation on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.
When I create a pdf document out of an doc (Office 2003 SP3) or docx (Word 2007 SP2)
with the web services I get wrong letter spacing. If I simply create a pdf out of Microsoft Word with the
installed Adobe Add-On on the same server the spacing is correct.
There is no error or warning in all the log files.
I tried already all kind of settings in the font settings, but no success.
You can see the differences in the attachment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Answer: I tested a lot by myself and finally it worked. I am still not 100% sure why, but I think it is the following:
When you have configured the turnkey installation, everything is up and running afterwards. But then you have these strange letter spacings.
When you restart the jboss service (Windows) then it is correct afterwards.

> Yeah, Motter Corpus is pretty distinctive. If you got a font substitution you'd know.
But would you know if the font was not embedded (other than by looking at the file properties) when viewing on a system where it is installed?
It looks to me as if the spacing issue is confined to the headings. Is that right? Have you previewed the page with custom tracking and kerning highlighted in ID (you'll find those settings in the preferences under Composition)? On screen shot the spacing looks very even so that's what I'd check first.
What does the ID file look like for those same pages?

Captivate 4 - Issue viewing exported PDF in published file on LMS

I'm working in Captivate 4 and have included a link to a PDF document on a particular screen. It works beautifully when I view the published file until I move the files into the LMS - at that point, the PDF won't launch.
Here's what I've done and hopefully someone can tell me what I need to do differently?? I created a click box on a screen and have set the On Success field to "Open URL or file". I browsed to find the location of my PDF and clicked the drop down arrow to select "New" and "Continue playing project" (so the learner can return to the original course when they're done reading the PDF). When I publish the file to Flash, I select the "Export PDF" option and it does it's magic. When I preview the published version, everything works beautifully, the course runs, the PDF launches and life is good. Then, I set up the course on our LMS and copy over the published files (including the source PDF). The course plays as expected until the learner clicks to view the PDF - at that point, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Does this have anything to do with Adobe Reader 9 (which many of our learners wouldn't have on their desktops)? Do I need to convert my PDF to HTM? Help... please!

Hello,
If I do understand your question all right (sorry, am not a native English speaker), I do believe you are mixing up two things. If you want indeed to publish to PDF (and not to SWF or EXE), you'll get a multimedia PDF (in which a SWF can play) but in that case the user really do need the Adobe Reader 9, previous versions do not support multimedia PDF.
What seems a bit contradictory is that you start with mentioning an issue with a PDF that should be called from a CP-slide. The problem there could be that you were linking to an absolute path on your PC when browsing, can you check that? If you introduce simply the name of the PDF and you make sure that the PDF and the CP-published files (normally HTML, JS and SWF) are uploaded in the same folder, the CP will find the PDF. I think you now have a 'broken link' because of an absolute path reference for the PDF.

OBIEE 11g - issue when export to a csv file

Hello,
I have an issue when I try to export to a csv file a report having numeric feild, when I export and open the file in notepad the trailing zeros to the right of decimal points do not show up. When export to another formats (such as excel, pdf) the trailing zeros appears correctly. e..g, 100.00 appears as 100, 100.50 appears as 100.5.
Do you know what can be done in order to have trailing zeros to the right of decimal points to appear in a csv?
Thanks
