Unable to convert an image (.bmp) to PDF

I have a written servlet that uses Adobe LiveCycle API to convert files to PDF. This works. I have a problem with one image (.BMP) for which the PDF conversion fails. I then tried converting the image to PDF using Adobe Acrobat. I see the following error:
I am able to open the image file without any issues. Why does Acrobat think the file is corrupt? Is there a way to find out if an image is OK for PDF conversion, either manually or programmatically? Attaching the image file for reference.

When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

Convert Photoshop image to EXISTING .pdf

Hello - I searched everywhere for this answer and can't seem to find it.
I want to be able to put an .psd file/.jpg/anything file that I create in Photoshop into an existing .PDF that I have. In otherwords I have a .pdf template with a blank area for these images and I can't figure out how to do this. It always seems to throw my image at the bottom on a different page. I've searched tutorials and I think I am looking in the wrong place.
Please help!

A PDF template is usually placed in a page layout program such as InDesign, where you can add your Photoshop images on top of it.
Illustrator may have been used to create the PDF file -- and may be able to reopen it for editing.
It is unlikely that you will find success editing or assembling these files in Photoshop or Acrobat.

Unable to convert MS Word document to PDF document

Hi, I've not been able to convert a MS Word document to PDF version. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extenstion. I've uninstalled & reinstalled the SW & used to be able to do this task.

The followings are the error messages, thanks.
This error can be caused by:
General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
Memory problems:On occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.
For more information about fixing problems related to printing, see Microsoft Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then click Help and Support.)

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

Problems converting PNG image to SVG with autotrace

Hi,
I am trying to convert a large number of color PNG images of hieroglyphs (produced after much effort) to SVG format, using "autotrace -background-color ffffff -output-format svg".
It seems that where there are closed paths with background color inside, autotrace produces an SVG image with the background area in black instead of transparency. (You can see the images at http://5b4az.chronos.org.uk/pkg/hieroglyph/A001.png and http://5b4az.chronos.org.uk/pkg/hieroglyph/A001.svg although the svg image is not rendered by Firefox). You may also download the tarballs with all the hieroglyphs of the Gardiner set if you are interested.
After all the effort that went into these images, I am stuck with being unable to convert raster images to vector graphics. I did try autotrace before I put in all this effort, but I didn't notice the problem because apparently I tried it on images with no enclosed background color.....
Any suggestions wellcome greatefully!

I know this is an old thread, but I did some new testing on some line art and want to post my results.
I started with a PNG, and converted it to PBM and PGM. I got much better quality doing this conversion with GIMP, as opposed to pngtopnm.
I traced both formats with autotrace and potrace, which I output to SVG.
Autotrace accepts PNG, so I did the trace with the original as well.
I got the highest quality with PGM and potrace. It also was the smallest file size.
a close second was PBM with potrace, slightly larger.
third was autotrace and the PBM, larger still.
Using the PGM with autotrace was unacceptable, and the file size was HUGE!
So if black/white is OK: Convert PNG to PGM with GIMP, then potrace
both the best quality, and smallest size SVG. This is assuming you started with anti-aliased black/white line-art, i guess the full greyscale PGM avoids the aliasing of PBM.
It seems autotrace is the way to go, if your forced to deal with multiple colors.
I suspect you will need to do many passes and really tweak those command options,
The PNG directly to autotrace was a complete disaster, but i suspect it would improve given enough time to configure command arguments.
However, even with those perfect options I would believe potrace yields a cleaner trace.

How to convert Apple Mail email to pdf

I'm a relative Acrobat Pro beginner.
Like to convert emails to text recognized pdf files. Is it possible?
I've tried using Print and then Save as a PDF in Apple Mail. However, I can't text recognize the resulting pdf or convert to one. Keeps giving error message that can't convert the images.
Probably pdf 101 that I'm missing. :-(
Thanks for any tips.

The only way that I am aware of is to purchase and download either Microsofts version of Office or Outlook Stand alone for Mac. Or if you prefer you can download Open Office that is FREE and is Oen Source and has all the features of Microsoft's
http://www.openoffice.us.com/openoffice/free-open-office-download-yahoo.php?pk=8 45397
To just pay for Outlook is a little steep for most users. I think you will find using a WEB Based e-Mail will work much better for you like GMail or YahooMail rather than having it on your machine use there servers and they have many more features.

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,
Anubha

Printing a PDF document to virtual PDF printer converts text to image in output PDF-file

When I "print" any regular PDF document to a PDF virtual printer, it always converts a source regular (textual) PDF document into an image only document. It applies even to pure plain text documents (say, HTML source code etc.)
(I often need to create a PDF document from the existing PDF. Yes, I know, it might seems quite pointless, but actually it makes sense.)
Thus I have 2 questions:
1) Is such sonvertion normal or I do anything wrong myself?
2) It is by design, is there any woraround to prevent conveting text to image?
Many thanks in advance!

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

Installed Adobe Pro X now unable to convert PDF - Missing PDFMaker Files

Hello,
I installed the trial version of Adobe Pro X and now I am unable to convert a Microsoft Word.doc file to .pdf. The error message is 'Missing PDFMaker Files. Do you want to run the installer to repair mode?' I ran the installer, twice, with the same resulting error message. (Am currently using Windows XP Pro along with Microsoft 2003 - and will upgrade in the new year.) I searched this issue, and found the following:
To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
Choose Help > About [the application name].
Click Disabled Items.
Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.
However, there are no applications in the list, including Adobe.
I also tried this:
If the error message continues to appear after you enable Adobe PDF, check the security level for macros in Microsoft Word:
Choose Tools > Macro > Security.
In the Security dialog, click the Security tab.
Choose Medium or High.
Do one of the following:
If you chose Medium, then click OK.
If you chose High, then continue with steps 5 through 7.
Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
Check Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
Click OK.
And Adobe is already there, so no change here.
I have uninstalled the trial version, deleted what visible remnants I could find, restarted the computer, installed the trial version again and am getting the same error message.
Is there a solution to this problem? Or, should I just return to my Adobe Pro 7?
Thank you in advance!
Laura
