Undesired multiple pdf files created with multipage print. Acrobat 9.5

Hello,
I have a 20 tab spreadsheet in Excel 2010, 18 tabs of which are presentation pages.
Most are landscape letter, 3 or 6 are landscape legal
The first time around, I selected the 18 tabs, file/printed to pdf, and I ended up with a perfect pdf, All 18 pages, 3 of which were legal size.
I change department names, change a bunch of data, added a few more tabs.
When I commence the same print routine, selecting all tabs to be included, I now get one 16 page pdf, a number of 1 page pdf's, and one three-page pdf. Each time the print routine asks for the file name. 8 times in total, instead of just once. What triggers this unwanted multi file split, and how can I prevent it?
Thank you for any and all suggestions,

PDF files created with Primo PDF or Progeny PDF printer

I am working on a computer with Windows Vista on it and I now have a problem when I create a PDF using the Primo PDF printer, or the Progeny PDF printer -- if Adobe is already open with a file, the new file appears with fuzzy colors. When I close Adobe, the files seem normal. Any idea why this happens? Has anybody had the same problem?

Not a known problem. And the "already launched" problem points to an issue with Reader.
Please submit some samples with a bug report for Reader to debug.
Here is what the issue looks like (click to zoom) :
On the left side is the PDF file opened with no other instances of Adobe Reader open. On the right side is what the exact same file looks like when opened after another instance of Reader (displaying another PDF file) was already open.
It's as if the font rendering engine was incapable of multi-threading. Like Reader can only render the font properly if the PDF file in question is the only one it's got in RAM.
Worth noting :
Opening a 2nd PDF file with distorted fonts does not affect the first open PDF. That one continues to display normally. Only every subsequent instance of Reader will have this issue.
Files were saved normally via Photoshop CS5, although this issue has been present for at least 2-3 versions if not more (only started saving PDF's around that time - it's quite possible this was ALWAYS an issue).
This is strictly a SCREEN RENDERING ISSUE. The PDF file prints to paper just fine with uncorrupted fonts no matter how it looks on-screen.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this happens across multiple computers. Whether I create the PDF via Photoshop CS3 in WinXP or via Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 on a completely different computer... it will have the same issues. Tried it at work, too -- miles away from home. Same issues. Graphic cards are also from different makes, and display the same issue.
This happens to every single font in the document, regardless of how common or obscure a font it is. In this case, it's Helvetica Neue.
Again, because this important : even if the fonts look distorted on-screen, they will print out on paper just fine. This is a screen rendering issue.
Default PDF settings, no layers, vector data non-rasterized.
Hope this helps.

Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7. With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs. Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100. However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files. I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human.

Pdf file created with zero bytes

Hi Team,
We have requirement of sending pdf file to webservice and after we will process that pdf file using Abbyy reader. We have issue in getting the pdf file content.
In web service, pdf file content is received with header information and body content..while creating, pdf file is created with empty...We have used C# WCF webservice..For more information, kindly refer the C# forum code: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b6a05717-2b17-4408-a606-ccbe104e132 4/need-webservice-code?forum=wcf

Displaying PDF files created with BLS in xMII 12

Hi all,
we are creating dynamic PDF Reports and store them in an xMII Web folder like "/Project/WEB/PDFFiles/".
The problem is that I cannot display the PDF File after creation to the user, because when I use the URL it says an error like "file cannot be found". Only after I open the Workbench and "publish" the file, the URL works and the PDF is opened.
Can I execute the "publish" command from the web page via JavaScript? Or from the BLS after it has created the PDF?
Regards
Michael

Hi, Michael.
The rendered PDF document is stored in a "string" parameter. Create a transaction output parameter of type string, and name it "PDFContent". Now, to stream the data back, create a hyperlink of the format:
http://<yourserver:yourport>/<this depends on your version>/Runner?Transaction=YourFolder/YourTransaction&OutputParameter=PDFContent&OutputContentType=application/pdf
When the user clicks on this link, the PDF will be generated and sent to the browser and should automatically open the Adobe PDF Reader. Note that this technique can be used with all kinds of different content (I've done the same for BLS-created HTML, SVG, PDF, CSV, and even Minitab statistical files).
In some cases, you may need to "trick" IE into forcing an open of the PDF viewer, in which case you might want to tweak the URL as follows:
http://<yourserver:yourport>/<this depends on your version>/Runner?Transaction=YourFolder/YourTransaction&OutputParameter=PDFContent&OutputContentType=application/pdf&PDFContent.pdf
Sometimes IE uses the ".pdf" at the end, sometimes it uses the content type/mime type. Seems inconsistent.
Best regards,
Rick

Uploading pdf files created with LiveCycle Designer ES4

I uploaded some pdf files to my server that were designed with LiveCycle Designer ES4. I can open them directly from the server using my SmartFTP program, however when I
try to download using the URL, I get the following message:
Please wait. . .
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contenst of teh document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows . . . .
I have both the latest version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro XI installed on the computer.
Any thoughts??

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Are there any workarounds for multiple PDF files created for a single Word 2011 document?

I am running...
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
Word for Mac 2011
Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.0
I am working with 100 plus page Word documents that go back and forth between portrait and landscape layouts. When I attempt to create an Acrobat PDF document (or one using the native Mac PDF function), I end up with 10 to 15 separate PDF documents. One person suggested that I simple stitch them together, which is an inordinate amount of work as compared to how simple it is do on my PC with older versions of Acrobat and Word. However, I have noticed that the margins are way off and the pagination is off sometimes too. So even this workaround is not the answer. I last talked to Microsoft, Apple, and Acrobat tech support about five weeks ago. Each blaming the other two but saying they were working together to solve the problem. My recent searches of forums has not revealed any solutions nor have updates changed anything.
As I am anticipating the day when my old PC stops working, I am searching for a possible workaround or other solution for this problem.

Thanks for your reply.
The tip-off may be this. In Word 2007 on my pc when I print the document to a printer, Word generates 1 print file for the entire document. If I print to PDF, one print file is generated by Word and Acrobat creates a PDF from this file.
What I just discovered by accident was that when Word for Mac 2011 prints the same Word document to a printer it creates about 10 different print files. So instead of a 100 page PDF document I end up with 10 PDF documents of 1 to 30 pages depending where the page orientation shifts in the Word document. If you print to a printer that is not turned on, you can see all of the files stacked up in the printer queue. I suspect that Word for Mac 2011 generates 10 different print files during the PDF creation process and therefore Acrobat logically creates 10 different PDFs. Unfortunately, there are margin errors and other layout errors in these 10 different PDFs so stitching them together is useless.
I am beginning to think that the way Word for Mac 2011 prints documents is simply incompatabile to Acrobat or the PDF creator that is native to the Mac OS.
I just think that this is a problem that Microsoft is going to have to fix.

Cannot upload a pdf file created with LifeCycle designer ES 10.0

Hi
I am trying to upload a pdf document but each time I have the following error message:
I tried many tricks like changing the acrobat plugin and using the default PDF viewer instead, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the Firefox plugins, I tried to upload it from IE... but none of these succeeded. I have the latest version of acrobat reader 11.0.7 and the pdf document id secured by a password and was generated using Adobe LifeCycle designer ES 10.0. How can I solve this issue? Thanks in advance

Downgrade multiple .pdf files to ver 5 compatibility

I'm looking for a way to script or at least manually in bulk convert multiple .pdf files created using Acrobat pro V9 down to a Acrobat V5 compatible format.
I have an automated OCR application that can't yet read higher than that version.
We have several fully licensed version of Acrobat Po V9 and V8 that might help.
If we have to we'll buy another piece of software to do it.. but I'd rather not.

Do you have a version of Acrobat that has Batch Processing capabilities (ie. a Pro version)?

Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks. It never has as far as I am aware. The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

Printing multiple PDF files in Windows 7 at once

When I had Windows XP I could select multiple pdf files in their folder then right click to print. With Windows 7 this option is no longer there. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem. I am not sure why Adobe (or Microsoft) took this option away. I have to print 30 to 40 invoices a day. I now currently have to open each individual document, print, close, and move on to the next. This is quite cumbersome. If anyone knows of a way around this I would appreciate the help.
If no solution is available does Abode know of the situation?

your right. I am using Acrobat. didn't even know I had it. I've been bugging the IT guy for Acrobat for a while. I have no idea how long it's been installed. I had just bugged him again last week.
reader is still set as my default. without even realizing it, i've only been using acrobat to combine and print large files.
the only way to combine pdf's in reader is to use Adobe's online service which you have to pay for.
I'm sure there's some third party software out there. I use bluebeam to mark up pdf's. it's free.
don't know if it can be used to print or combine multiple files. never tried.
the method of dragging and dropping pdf files into the printer window does work with reader. (I checked)
As I said, it prints the documents out of order which can be a pain.
I found this discussion because I was searching for a way to get the documents to print in order. Haven't found one......yet.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

Problem with PDF files created by Indesign

PDF files created by Adobe Indesign come up as blank pages whereas PDF files created by Mac OS X or Apple's Pages display OK. Is there a difference in the way PDF files are created?
