Text goes wonky when trying to copy from PDF

Hi all,
I'm having a problem when trying to copy text from a PDF which is distilled from a PostScript file. When i paste it into anywhere this is just all rubbish and symbols.
I'm running distiller 5.0.5 and PPD 3011.104. The font's should be TrueType however they just up as custom encoded Type 1 fonts with a prefix "File" in front of the name. e.g. FileSwis721BT
Does any one have any idea's.
(please note this is not to do with restriced copying access in distiller, the options are all unticked!)
Thanks in advance!

First, this is the wrong forum for this discussion...
Second, Distiller 5.0.5 is almost 10 years old at this time and Adobe no longer supports it.
Third, it sounds like your Postscript may/does have problems based on the font issues. But w/o seeing the PS, we can only guess.

    when trying to copy from mac HD to WD for mac i get error code -50 Solutions?

    OS X errors are cryptic. error code -50 says error in user parameter list.
    You need to give us WAY more info if you want help.
    What is WD for Mac? If it's an external drive - did you install any software for it? (shouldn't need to)
    How much free space on the Mac HD? Size of the file(s)?
    Is it a USB drive or Firewire or Thunderbolt?

  • Getting "resource busy" when trying to copy from an external USB drive

    Hi, I have an external (Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5TB) USB drive attached to my MacBook Pro (2009) running 10.6. I am trying to copy the files back to my laptop. However, when I copy them in the Finder, I get a message saying that some of the files are "in use". So I even tried copying using Terminal, and often I get this kind of message:

    After this happens, when I do "ls /Volumes/MyDriveName" I get zero results, nothing. I cannot unmount or eject the USB drive. I have to physically kill power to it, and then plug it back in. Then my MBP recognizes it again, and I can work with it for a short time before I hit this problem again. Copying some files works, but mostly they do not. I hope I have not lost these files.
    I ran Disk Utility, and it can't do anything with this drive... it keeps saying it cannot unmount it.
    Oddly, I can "ls" every file in every directory on this drive after I reconnect it (i.e. until the problem happens). So it seems like my data is sort of there, at least the directory is.
    Is there something more robust than Disk Utility that I can try? Any idea why I cannot eject the disk? And especially, what this "Resource busy" and "in use" message is about? This is coming straight after a reboot, and it only happens for SOME files, so it's not likely to be an obvious usage by some open app.

    Hmm, check out this program http://www.hamsoftengineering.com/products/wkm/wkm.html ... it might lead to some more clues. It seems like as soon as you plug it in, the system latches onto it. I'm guessing because it's an iMovie file, which OS X scans for, so all applications have the ability to grab that media that it's messing things up.
    Suggestions...copy those files, and rename them.
    Check out the app above to see what's holding onto the files.

  • Keep getting 'not enough room' on ipod when trying to copy from iTunes.

    Hi,
    With 60G iPod connected to PC, and iTunes automatically set to sync, I keep on getting 'not enough room on 'users-j' to copy all the requested files - even though I have plenty of disk spaces on the ipod.
    I have tried the following:
    - reset the ipod
    - restore the ipod to factory setting and erase all previous songs
    - selected to use as disk
    - tried manually to copy and automatically to sync
    - updated ipod and also using iTunes 7.0.2.16
    Still get the same msg with all of the above. And not a song gets successfully copied over. I had previously 355 songs in the ipod (before restoring).
    Any suggestion/help is appreciated.
    Thx. Jack.

    Thanks for that, deleted some music, to get 3Gb, then it copied over fine.
    The amount left seems wrong though as now only have 0.2Gb free? It was this that was the issue though, as tried again on another movie and it copied across, just strange on the amount free, maybe time for my iPhone to be wiped clean to start again?
    cheers

  • HT1414 Lost contacts when trying to copy from iphone 3gs to iphone 5?

    Hi All,
    I was trying to transfer iphone contacts from my old iphone to new one and followed the steps as mentioned on below link.
    http://techtips.salon.com/transferring-contacts-one-iphone-another-4973.html
    I realized all the contacts are now lost and now not on both the phones. Please suggest urgently how can I recover the same.

    The author of the article, or whoever edited it for publication (or both) is a raging moron. I can tell you exactly what happened.
    If you followed those directions to the letter, and you did not ALREADY have at least one contact in whatever address book on your computer you were trying to sync with, then the phones were wiped out by the black address book on your computer.
    Sorry. Nothing much you can do now. They are gone.

  • Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY  . Looking for solution.

    Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY  . Looking for solution.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Error -50 when trying to copy files to external hard drive.

    When trying to copy files (itunes music folder) to an external hard drive, I get the following message: Copying music failed. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    I have tried repairing disk permissions but still get the message. Any thoughts?

    Gary,
    A couple of posts referencing "error -50" seem to indicate that the error could result from a corrupted file.
    One from Kappy follows:
    Error -50 Post
    One way you could save your music to the other drive would be to do it folder by folder (dragging each artist's folder, to the other drive). I suspect you won't have many (if any) errors doing that, and if you hit the corrupted file, you can come back to that folder and see which one is bad. You could also try to drag groups of artists folders to the drive if you had quite a few. One note: If you save your files this way, you won't be saving the library, which contains all the playlists you've created...you'll have to recreate them.
    If you needed that music down the road, you could just do a File>Import from iTunes....
    Hope this helps,
    Bob

  • When trying to view a pdf from IE10 I get a small square with an X and not the document.

    When trying to view a pdf from IE10 I get a small square with an X and not the document. I have removed reader completely from the control panel and reinstalled version 11.0.4. I have IE 10 10.0.9200.16721. Need assitance in getting Reader XI setup.

    Hi,
    We have heard few users having similar issue as yours and found out the problem for one of the users is this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 .
    I was able to reporduce this problem(square with a 'X') by changing the TabProcGrowth registry entry to 0.
    This tool provided by Microsoft is for Win 8, to run this on Win 7 you can manually change the registry setting : please see " Let me fix it myself" in above url.
    Before running these steps please make sure yours indeed is the same problem.
    Please be very careful as some registry settings (not this one) can create serious problems on a Windows system including causing it to no longer boo
    Let me know how it goes.
    Thank You.

  • ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

    iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
    Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.
    Paul

    Duncan,
    I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
    However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
    There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
    The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
    In previous months the downloads worked fine.
    Thanks for your assistance

  • Font changes when copied from PDF to Word Docuemt

    Hi ,
    I have created a form which has text fields and static text and font style is Arial "10".In the preview i could see Someother fonts instead of Arial "10".
    When i copied the text from PDF to Word document it is showing "Calibri (Body)" or "Myriad Pro". I need same font when i preview the form as well as when i copied from PDF to word.
    I have created Custom component with Arial "10" even though in the preview i could see someother font.
    What could be the reason ..
    Thanks In advance.
    Vjay

    I can't think of why Acrobat/Reader wouldn't be displaying Arial. Try saving the form as pdf with Fonts Embedded in your Designer preferences.

    In iPhoto, select the photos, albums, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
    Choose File > Export.
    In the Export Photos window, click File Export, and then select your options.For best results, choose JPEG, Maximum, and Full Size. For more information, see Export a photo.
    When you’re ready, click Export, and export the photos to a folder on your computer.
    When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and then insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
    Drag the folder that contains your exported photos to the disc’s icon.
    When the files have been copied, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
    safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
    What do I do?

    So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
    I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
    Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
    During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
    After install is finished, reboot
    After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
    Now start CS4 and run the updater.
