Turning a newspaper/magazine article into a PDF and then posting it on my website

Hi,
I want to turn some articles from newspapers/magazine on the Web into PDFs. Is it legal then to post the PDFs I will have created myself as links on my website ? The idea is to have more stable links, as the articles from online newspapers/magazines tend to disappear after a while.
Thanks for any kind of answer,
David

David,
The answer is probably not. This isn't a pdf specification issue (the
topic of this forum), but a copyright question. Feel free to consult a
copyright laywer for more information.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

Hi leastoners,
If you're trying to insert a file into a Word document, your best bet is to check the Word online Help. (What you describe sounds like a function of Word, not of Acrobat). I did a quick search and came up with this: Add a PDF to a document - Word. But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for.
If I misunderstood your request, please let me know and we can take it from there.
Best,

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

How do I split each page into a PDF and name them after a line of text on the split page?

All,
I am running a report that is creating hundreds of letters to be sent to customers. When I run the report it creates one large PDF (one letter = one page). To help with a specific business solution I need to split each page into an individual PDF. I know I can extract the pages using the extraction tool. I have also been able to duplicate this from the Javascript console, but only with generic names. The problem is that I need each PDF named after the customer's account number. The account number is listed on the page that I am extracting, but I am having a hard time parsining the text on the pages to find it.
I need to be able to turn each page into a seperate PDF and then rename that PDF to match the account number list on the page.
The account number, is of course, different for every customer and has varied prefixes. The line of text that I need to read starts like this:
Account Number#: NJA00001
I need to just pull the NJA00001.
I would really love to automate this process.
Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance.
PS: I am a little rusty on my Javascript, its been a couple years.

This can probably be achieved with a custom-made script, but it's not possible to know for sure before seeing some sample files.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

Goto saving images into a pdf and a message comes up " cannot start print job"

I an having a problem with my lightroom 4- I goto save my images into a PDF and it comes up " cannot start print job" and wont even save the images. What can be the problem, ive never had the situation before.

Hi Sasha,
Using Acrobat, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. The forms created in LC Designer are called XFA (XML Forms Architecture) and are more data centric. While both will open in Acrobat, they are completely different animals.
The issue with users not being able to save the data with Reader is that the form is not Reader Enabled. You can Reader Enable a form using one of two methods:
Reader Enable the form using Acrobat Professional (V8 or below) or Acrobat Standard (V9 or above). Note there are licensing restrictions.
Reader Enable the form using the full server product Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5. This involves additional licensing fees.
Have a look here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU, at the features that are available depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader; if the form is Reader Enabled; and how the form was Reader Enabled.
The issue of Reader Enabling would also apply to AcroForms.
I don't think that you need to dive into LC Designer just yet, as forms created in LC Designer face the same issues about Reader Enabling as forms developed in Acrobat.
If your usage complies with the EULA, then you could Reader Enable your form in Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

Do I begin by scanning my illustration in a pdf and then save it as a png on illustrator?

Do I begin by scanning my artwork as pdf and then saving it as a png on illustrator?

Depends on what you want to do with the file. Most scanning software can scan as tiff, png, jpg and sometimes pdf. In each of these cases the resulting file is usually a raster file. The exception is software that can convert text into edible text known as OCR, or have some time of auto trace feature for converting artwork into vector objects. This is where pdf would shine compared to the other formats. Tiff is the only remaining one that can also save live editable text.
As I said once the pdf is imported into illustrator, what format you choose to save from there will depend on what you plan on doing next with it. Ai, pdf, psd or tiff would make good candidates for master files. (A file you can re-edit at a later date with no worry of degradation) And then each of these formats have their pros and cons.

JSP that converts office extensions to pdf and then upload them

Hi there !
Im trying to convert office extensions ( .xls, .ppt, etc) to pdf and then upload the resulting file to a server .
currectly im using the upload solution posted by the user anna_DRA here : http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672874
and as for the conversion im using a solution which uses OpenOffice's lib to do the conversion.I'm going to post the codes of my JSP and my HTML ( which just contains the form to get the file to be converted and uploaded).
observation: the point which is giving me headaches is how to get the file sent by my form, convert it into a File object, use my conversion tool and then deliver it to my upload tool so it can be stored.... i cant seem to get the File object from the request object ( tried getattribute and it returns null....) .
observation':I do know about and how to use MVC but my boss asked me to make this work with just one JSP or a JSP and a HTML.

} catch (ConnectException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
File inputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\thiago\\Documents\\"+fileName);
for(int i = 0; i <= fileName.length() - 4; i++){
    String s = ""+fileName.charAt(i);
    newName = newName.concat(s);
File outputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\thiago\\Documents\\"+newName+".pdf");
//convert the spreadsheet
DocumentConverter ExcelToPDFConverter = new OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(OpenOfficeConnection);
ExcelToPDFConverter.convert(inputFile, outputFile);

Hello TSN,
Test Screen Name wrote:
Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
Thanks for your response.
I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
Take care
