Text missing in PDF

In Framemaker, while creating pdf, text are not embedded in pdf.
This problem occurs if we give print command for very first article after open the application. If we give the print command second time, all text are embedded in pdf. So we always give one dummy print command whenever we open the FM.
Please give a solution to overcome to this issue.

San,
You don’t mention the OS or the FrameMaker version you are using. But, most probably, this article about a Microsoft Hotfix to fix caching issues might be the solution.

It is not unusual to have no such problems for years, but suddenly they appear.

Text missing from PDF created in Excel

I have been creating a pdf file from an Excel spreadsheet for many weeks but last week the pdf file suddenly stopped displaying text in one corner of the screen:
But the missing text does display in Print Preview:
The font is consistent across the whole document and I cannot find any reason why this text will not display in that corner of the pdf.
Does anybody have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

The problem is actually caused by the following update for excel which was rolled out on Dec 14, 2011.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596596
Here is some more discussion about it:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/nl/exceldev/thread/dec1c975-16b1-4b42-af44-a019740 bc910
The hotfix should be coming soon, but for now you can simply uninstall update KB2596596

Text missing from PDF

I am a long-time and very experienced user of FrameMaker, Acrobat, and all associated tools. My XP-SP2 system is thoroughly debugged and fully updated.
When I create PDFs in Frame, sections of the text come up missing. The document remains correctly formatted and organized - there are simply missing sentences, paragraphs, etc. in no discernible pattern. I have tried every fix I can think of and all those I have found by searching online - to no avail.
These documents are created from scratch in Frame 7.2p158; I have updated the installation at least once without solving the problem. The PDFs are being created by every known process: print to Distiller (7.0) within Frame; Save As PDF; print to generic PostScript and pass to Distiller. The missing text remains consistent within all processes.
The fonts involved range from junk of unknown origin to (most of my fonts) true Adobe Postscript. Changing fonts does not cure the problem, although it sometimes changes which parts disappear. There is no particularly complex formatting involved (no equations, no unusual character overrides). These documents are mostly contracts and other simple but rigidly formatted documents. None involve imported graphics.
I have tried all variations of saving to MIF and RTF and re-importing. This sometimes changes the faults, but does not cure them.
This problem occurs ONLY with FrameMaker. I can export perfect PDFs, some from very complex source documents, from Word, InDesign, CorelDRAW and a dozen other tools, using any fonts on my system.
(I am dismayed at how hard Adobe support has gotten to use - as the owner of nine of their most expensive apps, I should be able to get better online support without calling in and begging permission!)
If anyone can point me to a known bug, a known fix, or a good starting point for unraveling this problem - or confirm that they've seen a similar error - I would appreciate it!

Sherman - I've tried every possible path from FrameMaker document to PDF, including hand-cranked processes using a variety of PS print drivers and reducing the resolutions to dot-matrix levels. The fix is very hit-or-miss.
Bernd - your situation is similar to mine. I finally got my critical document to print by using a different PS driver (a Xerox RIP, can't recall exactly which model at this moment.) Then I went to print out a companion document a few days later... same round of problems that I could not fix.
So I went to reinstall Frame 6 on my system... and ran into the "too much memory" problem. I reset the virtual memory down to ridiculous levels (100 MB) and still got errors.
So - I installed Frame 6 on my new system, a dual-Opteron monster with not 2GB, but 4GB of RAM. Perhaps it's the better memory management of that system (with Windows XP64) but I had no problem and printed the document (via print to PS and manual processing to PDF) just fine.
Then I zipped up the Frame 6 installation and dumped it on the older system, where it works fine except for the persistent registry warnings - which I'll fix when I have a moment. However, THE SAME DOCUMENT, when saved from Frame 7.2 into v6 format, and opened in Frame 6, caused the same missing-text problems through several approaches.
I might be stating the obvious, but this is a major, major bug and it lies wholly within Adobe's product circle. It should not have existed with the final release or at least should have been fixed early on... yet here we are more than a year into it with no fix in sight (except a crappy, half-effective workaround).
And I have discovered, to my frustration and dismay, that InDesign makes a very poor substitute for Frame when doing long documents. Part of it was unfamiliarity with things like flowing text over multiple pages, but after an hour's work I still had nothing that looked like my relatively simple Frame document... and I had to spend two hours on the above process to get the stupid thing to PDF so I could get it to the client.
I realize FrameMaker is a minor product and an unwanted stepchild, without the glitz, glamor and recognition of Photoshop or Premiere, but really, Adobe... this clusterf*ck is beneath you!

Text missing in PDF files

I have been trying to print out a form from a local university for my daughter.
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/PDF/uow-direct-app-home.pdf
I am using Leopard 10.5.2 - but when I preview this form in finder, nearly all of the text is missing. If I try to print it to my non-postscript printer - again, all the text is missing. If I print it to my PostScript printer, then it prints.
I notice the PDF has badly (i.e. none) embedded fonts, so Acrobat has to use the Substitute "Adobe Serif MM" font.
Anyone else getting this problem with this PDF?
Funnily (well, not so funny, when i recently switched to Mac as it's 'THE' platform for graphics - cough!) the PDF renders and prints fine on my XP machine.
Steve

OK... I think i may have a handle on this.
As I use my Mac for design work, the only fonts I routinely have activated are the "must have" fonts in the /System/Library/Fonts directory.
Everything else is removed, and activated via Font Agent pro.
I think Preview has a problem when a PDF file does not have fonts properly embeded. I just activated all the standard fonts that Microsoft, and Apple plonk in ~/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts - including a copy of Palatino, and, hey presto - Quick view works again.
However, this doesn't explain the text vanishing when printing from Acrobat itself to a non-postscript printer.

Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

HELP!!!
I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

Hello Atul -
i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
any input you have would be much appreciated.
thank you,
bethany

If pdf generated with Bullzip, opens with problems in text (missing, weird characters, etc...)

pdf opening in new tab shows problems with text. If pdf was generated with Adobe acrobat, works fine. If pdf generated with Bullzip, opens in new tab, but with problems.

hello lwhitman, the pdf preview in firefox is still under very active development. if you find any issues please report them at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues & provide a sample pdf-file which shows the problem.

Full text search of .pdf files in a file table.

I have installed the Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit and set the path to the bin folder. I still cannot find any text from the pdf files. I suspect I am missing something trivial because I don't find much when I Bing for this so it must not be a common problem.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run: sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Inserting text to Acrobat PDF document, not able to create PDEText.

Hi ,
I have created a plugin for Acrobat, On press of MyPlugin's 'Insert' button it has to add the text to the document.
Eg: If there is a Active PDF document, which contains a text "Hello" in it. I want to insert "World" (i.e, the document should have "Hello World") when i click 'Insert' button.
I am writing the below function for this:
static void InsertCitationText(PDDoc activePDDoc,PDPage pdPage , int pgNum , int pgOffset)
      PDEContent volatile pdecontent = NULL;
      PDPage pdPage = PDDocAcquirePage (activePDDoc, pgNum);
      pdecontent = PDPageAcquirePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
    Here I have to create PDEText pdeText and assign "World" to it. How do i do this??
     I tried to do this in TextCreate function by looking into the sample plugin snippets but its not creating the text , when i debug and see the value value of 'pdeText' its giving, "pdeText not found".
           PDEText pdeText = TextCreate();
      PDEContentAddElem(pdecontent, kPDEAfterLast, (reinterpret_cast<PDEElement>(pdeText)));
      /* Put the contents back in the page */
      PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
      /* Clean up */
      PDPageReleasePDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
static PDEText TextCreate()
            PDSysFont sysFont=NULL; /* Used by PDEFont creation */
            PDEFont pdeFont=NULL; /* Reference to a font used on a page */
            PDEFontAttrs pdeFontAttrs; /* Font attributes */
            ASFixedMatrix textMatrix; /* Transformation matrix for text */
            PDEColorSpace pdeColorSpace; /* ColorSpace */
            PDEGraphicState gState; /* Graphic state to apply to operation */
            // Create a PDEText object
            PDEText pdeText = PDETextCreate();
            // Text to write to the PDF
            char *Title = "World";
            // Get system font
            sysFont = PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(PDEFontAttrs), 0);
          // Initialize the font descriptor then create the font reference.
            memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
            // Find the matching system font.
            pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Verdana");
            pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("Type1");
            //Get system font
            sysFont = PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs,sizeof(pdeFontAttrs),0);
            pdeFont = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(sysFont, kPDEFontDoNotEmbed);
            // Create a DEGraphicState object and set its attributes
pdeColorSpace = PDEColorSpaceCreateFromName(ASAtomFromString("DeviceGray"));
            memset(&gState, 0, sizeof(PDEGraphicState));
gState.strokeColorSpec.space = gState.fillColorSpec.space = pdeColorSpace;
            gState.miterLimit = fixedTen;
            gState.flatness = fixedOne;
            gState.lineWidth = fixedOne;
            // Create an ASFixedMatrix object
            memset(&textMatrix, 0, sizeof(textMatrix));
            textMatrix.a = Int16ToFixed(24);
            textMatrix.d = Int16ToFixed(24);
            textMatrix.h = Int16ToFixed(1*72);
            textMatrix.v = Int16ToFixed(2*72);
            //Create a PDEText Object
            pdeText = PDETextCreate();
PDETextAdd (pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0,(ASUns8 *)Title, strlen(Title), pdeFont, &gState,
            sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
            PDERelease ((PDEObject) pdeColorSpace);
            PDERelease ((PDEObject) pdeFont);
            return pdeText;
Is there anyway i can add the "World" (as PDEElement) to document so that i can use in this function "PDEContentAddElem(pdecontent, kPDEAfterLast, (reinterpret_cast<PDEElement>(pdeText)));" ???
Or
Should i use the above 'TextCreate()' huge function to create PDEText(PDEElement). If i have to use this method why the PDEText is not getting created? Am i missing something in the above function ??
Please someone help me out, Thanks in advance.

Chetan.

Hi Irosenth,
I will give a try for this, we must try to certain extent who knows we may Succeed. We must noe give-up easily.
You have not said this is impossible, but you say this is difficult. Rite ??
If you give me support, i dont think it would be difficult.
First i will try to insert a text in a blank page.This is possible rite ??
I saw a discussion in this forum, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2092443#2092443 , this is 2 years old. This guy has inserted the text into PDF document.
I refered this link and try to insert a text in Active PDF document but text is not getting inserted into it.
Please let me know what i am making wrong in the below function,
static void InsertCitationText(PDDoc activePDDoc, int pgNum , int pgOffset)
      PDEContent volatile pdecontent = NULL;
      PDPage pdPage = PDDocAcquirePage (activePDDoc, pgNum);
      pdecontent = PDPageAcquirePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
      PDEText pdeText = TextCreate();

      PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
      /* Clean up */
      PDPageReleasePDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
TextCreate() function is same as the one which i mentioned in this discussion. Please let me what i am making wrong in that function aswell. Its not creating the specified "World" pdeText. Please help me out for this. Thanks in advance.

How to extract text from a PDF file?

Hello Suners,
i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
               FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
               BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
               String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:
how to get text from this array? i was thinking of :
    private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

            read.getMetaData();
            byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
            int i=0;
            while(i>-1){
                buff.append(data);
i++;
String str=buff.toString();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:/test.txt");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF8");
out.write(str);
out.close();
read.close();
} catch (Exception f) {
f.printStackTrace();
"D:/test.txt" hasn't been created!! when i ran the program,
is my steps right?

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
If the form is publicly available, it may help if you include the URL (web address) when you post.

, Trouble importing from text file into PDF Acrobat 9.0

Hey all!
I'm trying to use the JavaScript found on this Adobe page to insert text into my PDF:
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=JS_API_AcroJS.88.502.html
this.importTextData("/c/data/myData.txt", 0);
Replacing the path with my own path, of course. However, I can't get it to work at all, it just crashes my JavaScript. I was thinking it might have something to do with the privilege stuff which, admittedly, confuses me a bit. But my understanding is that if you use the function without arguments, that shouldn't matter, and it will prompt the user for a path?
this.importTextData();
However, that still crashes the JavaScript. I'm not sure what exactly I am doing wrong here?
NOTE: I have tried running the JavaScript both in a checkbox and on page load.

Well I was having trouble getting it to work without a path, though that kind of mysteriously started working now despite the fact that I didn't really change anything. I also assumed that part didn't apply to me because we are on 9, not 8, but maybe it means 8 and on?
I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around privileged and non-privileged contexts.
These methods can be executed only in a privileged context, which includes console, batch and application initialization events.
What would be the simplest way to execute in a privileged context? "Application initialization" sounds promising, does this mean when the application is first opened? If so, how would you execute JavaScript this way?!

Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

Can you edit the text of a PDF that is placed in inDesign

I have placed a PDF in inDesign and am curious if I can edit the text of that PDF while in inDesign.

Edit it with Adobe Acrobat Pro, indesign can't. Option for Indesign is:
of course overlay text with new text
There is specialized software for editing PDF files, though the choices are much more limited and often more expensive than creating and editing standard editable document formats. Version 0.46 and later of Inkscape allows PDF editing through an intermediate translation step involving Poppler.
Serif PagePlus can open, edit and save existing PDF documents, as well as publishing of documents created in the package.
Enfocus PitStop Pro, a plugin for Acrobat, allows manual and automatic editing of PDF files, while the free Enfocus Browser makes it possible to edit the low-level structure of a PDF.
In Acrobat you should use the TouchUp Text Tool.
But in the end, PDF-files are not made for editing.
