Static background with PDF?

Hi,
Is there any way to create a static background in a PDF? I mean, a background that is not affected by the scrolls. If u scroll up or down only moves the text and not the background.
Why am I trying to do this "stupid" thing...? Because I'm using a swf FlashPaper in my interactive cd and since I can't customize flashpaper looks, I need to fake 'em. To customize the interface looks I just add the fake buttons I want in a layer above the one where I put the flashpaper, so what u see are my customized btns, but what u click are the flashpaper btns. Now..., I need to see the interactive cd background right behind the flashpaper text, but I cannot because the flashpaper background is not customizable and that's why I'm trying to create a static pdf background that matches my interactive cd background, so u think u see through the flashpaper, but what u really see is just a static pdf background.
Hope u understand what I'm trying to acomplish here and have some kind of solution.
Thanks in advance!

No, PDF doesn't work like that.

Why are my PDFs black background with white lettering?

I cannot remember how to undo something. My pdfs are black background with white lettering. I just want it back to normal

Hi pistoley,
Are you viewing your PDFs in Reader or Acrobat, and what version? It sounds like there may have been a change made to the Accessibility preferences. In Reader/Acrobat XI, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Reader/Acrobat preferences (Mac OS), and click the Accessibility category. Is Replace Document Colors selected? If so, try deselecting that.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Static / background crackles with Gigaworks T20s

Anyone had static / background crackles with these speakers sometimes its quite loud...disappears for several days then reappears. The first three months I had no problems now this on/off problem.
All the cables are plugged in firmly. Could it be outside interference or something 'loose' inside? Any opinions welcome..Cheers

1. Make sure you're not distorting.
2. Make sure you are grounded properly.
3. Make sure power cables aren't parallel to speaker cables.

Add static background image to all frames of gif animation

First, I'm not a fireworks regular. I use it when I have to to get something done (mostly web optimazations). I would use it more but, frankly in many cases the UI is counter intuitive to everything else adobe makes.
Here is my problem...
I need to add (not replace) a static background to ALL existing frames(states) in a fireworks gif animation (with alpha) , the end product gif will be an element in the Edge web animation...details
I have an animated seq of a rotating object that was created in 3ds max and rendered as a png seq with alpha.
I opened the SEQ "as animation" in fireworks. I set the frame rate. It plays fine. So far so good....
I imported an image that I want to be BEHIND the animated seq on ALL frames. I tried puting it on a sub layer behind, i tried puting it on it's own layer behind, but it ONLY shows on the first frame (state).
I tried using "share with all states" but it replaces the SEQ images already on the "states" instead of adding it behind them like in the arrangement of the layers.
So first, can this be done and if so how?
Second, why is this process so counter intuitive in fireworks? I mean if a layer is behind something then it should be a simple button click or check box etc to say "show on all frames (states)", you know like any other product adobe makes. Even "image ready" made more sense than this. My thought process was that since I needed to end up in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that i should be able to put it together there also but it's turning out to be a lot harder than it should. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to fireworks) and then render another SEQ that I import to fireworks to create the optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the "creative suite" concept, one of my biggest complaints about the "suite" is the lack of master oversite so the common functions, keyboard shortcuts, and fundimental UI concepts are consitant accross all the apps so it functions as a "suite" and not just a collection of seperate applications. I know that demanding that all applications follow certian rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it a lot easier for the end user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to figure out why something doesn't work like it does in all the other apps. Just my $.02
Thanks for any help and or explaination

Thanks for the response.
You know I tried that exact thing the only difference being I didn't change the layer names. So not naming the layers would keep that from working ?? Also as you eluded to draging layers to position them in fireworks is a delicate operation. It always seems to take 2 or 3 times to get it to drop where you want it. I named the layers and it works as you said. Unfortunately I was really pressed for time so I had already given up on fireworks and just composited the SEQ with the BG layer in AE and kicked out another PNG SEQ and then open that "as animation" in Fireworks and then optimized and exported as a gif. So there are allways several ways to do things.
Thanks again,
Joel H

Go to the cache directory and see if you can open the report directly from here (not in IE).
I have seen posts on problems with Acrobat Reader Plugin for IE (I believe it was version 6 of Reader).

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

Find another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

How do I get a white background with black lines and characters on
my screen.Contrary to what you might think, the linebIG2.setBackground(Color.white);does not give the buffered image a white background. The API docs
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html#setBackground(java.awt.Color)
say: "Setting the background color in the Graphics2D context only
affects the subsequent clearRect calls... " So adding a line to your
if blocks we getif (false) {
    bIG2.setBackground(Color.white);
    bIG2.clearRect(0, 0, buIm.getWidth(), buIm.getHeight());
if (false) {
    bIG2.setColor(Color.black);
}Changing the false to true results in a white background (and black
X and text).

How to use a scaled object(MC) to fill the background with the new properties

So lets say i have a stage 300 to 200 and all object that i have are for this dimensions.Also have an pattern function that fills the background.
But the user is thinking of resizing the stage to lets say 1024 to 480 (he switched from a phone to a tablet).And now the scale of the objects in the tablet screen are more than 3times before(when seen on the Phone)
How do i save the current new size object and use it in the creation of the new background (the 1024x480).
currently i have this :
public static const GAME_ORG_WIDTH:uint = 300;
public static const GAME_ORG_HEIGHT:uint = 200;
public function MainClass_road() {
                              addEventListener(Event.ADDED, init);
                    public function init(e:Event):void{
                               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                                 stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                                 stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                    public function setUpScreen(ev:Event):void{
                              stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                              if(stage.fullScreenHeight > stage.fullScreenWidth){
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenWidth;
                            gameStageHeight = stage.fullScreenHeight;
                              }else {
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenHeight;       // 480
                                        gameStageHeight = stage.fullScreenWidth;                     //1024
                              rescaleRatio = gameStageWidth / GAME_ORG_WIDTH;
                              //rescale every object, ie:
                            myC.scaleX = myC.scaleY =   rescaleRatio;
                   //start filling the Background with the pattern
                                   tileBgF();
and then I use the while loop for filling the screen/background
public function tileBgF(e:Event=null):void {
                                                  var bgClip = MyC;
                                                  var i:int = 0;
                                                  var j:int = 0;
                                                  while (bgClip.x < stage.stageWidth) {
                                                            bgClip = MyC;
                                                            while (bgClip.y < stage.stageHeight) {
                                                                      bgClip = MyC;
                                                                      tileLayer.addChild(bgClip);
                                                                      bgClip.x = bgClip.width * i;
                                                                      bgClip.y = bgClip.height * j;
                                                                      j++;
                                                            j = 0;
                                                            i++;
                                                  addChildAt(tileLayer,0);
why does it give me
Line 52
1120: Access of undefined property MyC.
in public function tileBgF
and further more.After filling the background/screen with the pattern , how do i save it all like one big bitMap so i can use /add it after time without doing all the checking of screen and things again.

and is it better to use
stage.fullScreenHeight
in the while loop or leave it like it is ,or its irrelevant

Workflow Step 'In Process'- Send mail with PDF attachment

Hi,
have to send mail with PDF attachment.
I have written a function module with following steps,
1. Convert SPOOL number to PDF using Function Module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
2. Send mail with PDF attachment using Function Module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.
The Function Module is giving required output when tested and called in the report(Background Job).
When I call this Function Module from Method-> Workflow Task the Workflow steps status is 'In Process' and not ending.
Could you please help me on this??

Hi shafath,
When you try to send mail, You need to call the function FP_JOB_OPEN before calling the function module to generate the pdf. ( /1B****) . Is it missing in your code?

Can i use data merge with pdf images in indesign?

Hi need to do a data merge but with pdf's not jpg or tifs. I am having the result with jpgs but not with pdf's.
Can i do it with pdf's?

in fact that is not a problem because i have both pdfs same size and orientated, the only thing is that i cannot use the pdf docs for some reason.
eg. in the csv file i have (this is not working)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.pdf           Machintosh HD:page1.pdf
eg. in the csv file i have (this works)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.psd           Machintosh HD:page1.psd
I would like to use the pdf file is there a different way to do so?

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
'%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
aware of in quite a while.
Thanks
Bill

I took a closer look at the files it downloaded, opened them with notepad,
haer is what it says:
XSL Transform or subsequent processing failedThe document has no pages.

Acrobat 9 pro and problems with pdf made by photoshop cs4

Hello,
I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
Any ideas how to make this work?
regards,
embee

Solution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.
As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

Full-Text search is not working with PDF files - SQL Server 2012 64 bit

Hi,
We are in the process of storing PDF files in SQL Server 2012 with Full-Text search capability.
I followed the steps as below and it works fine with word document but not for PDF files. I tried with PDF ifiler 11 & 9 and both are unsuccessful.
Server/DB Level Settings:
1)
Enable FileStream
2)
Install Full-Text
then restart
3)
Use [specific db]
alter
database [db name]
add
filegroup Files
contains filestream;
alter
database [db name]
add
file (
name = N'Files',
filename =
N'D:\SQL\DATA') to
filegroup [Files];
3)
Database level
Settings:
FileStream:
FileStream
Directory name:
[Set the name]
FileStream
non-transacted
Access: [set Appropriate]
3a)
Add a
datafile to DB
with filestreamdata
filetype.
4)
Share D:\SQL\DATA
directory and
add specific accounts
with read/write
access
5)
Give bulkadmin
access to those
specific accounts
at server
level
6)
From the
page (link)
download and
install the *.pdf
IFilter for
FTS. Link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5542
7)
To the
PATH global system
variable add
path to the
catalog,
where you installed
the plugin.
Default for
this version is:
C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe
PDF iFilter 9
for 64-bit
platforms\bin
8)
From the
page (link)
download a
FilterPackx64.exe
and install
it. Link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=20109
9)
Now from
SSMS execute the following
procedures:
-sp_fulltext_service
'load_os_resources',1
-sp_fulltext_service
'verify_signature', 0
EXEC
sp_fulltext_service
'update_languages';
-- update language list
EXEC
sp_fulltext_service
'restart_all_fdhosts';
-- restart daemon
reconfigure
with override;
10)
Restart the
server
11)
select document_type,
path from
sys.fulltext_document_types
where document_type
= '.pdf'
-select
document_type,
path from sys.fulltext_document_types
where document_type
= '.docx'
12) Results are OK.

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:
