Validating pdf document

I have reports generated from SQL reporting services rendering pdf, I am trying to Validate pdf for any formatting issues after generating pdf report.
Issues such as overlapping text fields, overlapping images, e.t.c
Can any body give some inputs on this to validate pdf file contents?
Since we have 1000's of reports needs to be validated, is there any automated way?

Nobody seems to make a formal PDF validator. There are only PDF processors which might detect or ignore errors. Programmers tend to build up the largest possible stock of PDF processors for test purposes.

Error message 'not a valid PDF document'

Hi folks,
my Z10 has trouble opening some PDF documents sent as email attachment. When I try to open them the error message appears:
Important message
The document cannot be opened because it is not a valid PDF document
There is no BES10 Service involved in my environment. Mails are synced with with active sync.
OS Version: 10.2.0.429
Any suggestion appreciated.
Best regards,

Stuffit is the only app I know of which can decompress its own format. Your Windows clients must use the free Expander to open them. Otherwise, use OS X's built in zip compression and they'll be able to open the files without the need of third party software. Right click on any item, or group of items and choose, "Compress xxx Items" (how it will read if more than one item is chosen).

Error - "not a valid pdf document. it cannot be opened"

I am getting this error message when opening PSE. It says "This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened." Needing help asap! Thanks!

Quit PSE. Then go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > Settings
In 10.7 and higher that library is hidden. To see it, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. Also in 10.7 and up, while you're in there go to the saved application states folder and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Downloading pdf on iPad mini, opening in Adobe reader, won't open, saying this is not a valid pdf document

Hi
I am trying to open a pdf document which is a course qualification handbook.
I have been able to open other pdf documents in the adobe reader app, any suggestions how I can open the above document.
I am using an IPad mini.
Thankyou

Is the course qualification handbook "protected" in any way? For example, to limit the access to the content, a protected PDF document may prompt you to enter user name and password or use some proprietary technology to obscure the content.
Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support eBooks, protected PDFs, etc.
Would you try opening the course qualification handbook in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer and see what happens?

Why the message " ... not a valid PDF document ..."?

Am using PSE 9 on a Mac OS 10.7 when suddenly an error message started appearing 3 (and more) times in a row every time I tried to edit a photo. (I had been editing 100's of photos with no problem.) Now, even if I just open up Elements with no photo, the message appears 4 times before I get to the blank workspace. All I can do is click "OK" however many times the message appears. Have no idea why PSE thinks I'm trying to edit a PDF file.

One thing I tried to do was go back to my Time Machine backup and restore PSE from several days before, when I knew it had worked fine.
Oh dear. You made a huge problem for yourself. You can never, never do that with PSE. PSE is not a nice tidy package in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. You must always reinstall from scratch if you need to reinstall. You broke PSE when you did that. Now you will need to download and run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then manually remove the PSE folder from applications and hunt around on your hard drive for the other bits that you can find. Look especially in your hard drive>library. Remove all of those, too, then reinstall from the original media.
You may think you have a slight problem now, but I guarantee you will have a HUGE problem soon if you don't do this.

"this is not a valid PDF file" message when creating a new document?

Every time i try and open a new document I get a message that says this is not a valid PDF file?
Has anyone else recieved this message?

Sorry, I am out of ideas. Unless anyone else can help I suggest you need to contact support directly. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get problems fixed right away.

Are you sure that the document is a valid PDF file? Can you open it with Reader?

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

What is your operating system? What is your Reader version? What means "can not"?
Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

How to generate a PDF document from ABAP program

Hi experts,
I have arequirement where in i need to create a PDF document using program. I have all the data collected into tables and i have used the calss CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT.
A pdf document is successfully created, but unable to open it because of some error. I guess some encryption is missing.
As an alternative I have created a smartform and generated its OTF data in my program and created a PDF. This is working fine.
But as per my requirement, i cannot go for a smart form.
Any help to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.

'not a valid photoshop document' when I try and overlay an image on photoshop.. help!!!

I downloaded jpeg files from google drive. As far as I know they are not corrupted and when I used them on the newest version of photoshop they worked. What I am trying to do is place images next to one another. Everytime I try and do this a notice comes up saying 'it is not a valid photoshop document'. I have tried changing the jpg to photoshop format pdf and also opening them as photoshop files - I dont know what else I can do and my photography deadline is tomorrow for my final edits!
PLEASE HELP

Without having access to the file that you are working with I would not know how to help. There can be many factors involved that are giving you grief. Are you on PC or Mac? There are many here that are more savvy with the nuances and problematic issues with Ps than I. If you wish to send me one of the files I can give it a try on my setup and see what happens- [email protected]

Support for multiple pdf document with signature

I have a question about signatures.
Does the PDF specification support the combination of multiple pdf documents into one pdf document with the following constraint:
- each individual pdf document has been signed (by an X.509 certificate),
- the individual documents can come from different sources, so they have to be 'included' or merged into the final pdf,
- the final pdf document should not change the signatures of the individual documents.
So each part of the document should maintain the integrity of the individual components and the signature of the individual comnponents are still valid.
Does the pdf specification support this feature?
With kind regards,
Ernst Jan

What you want is called a PDF Package (or Portable Collection in the PDFRef) and is new in PDF 1.7. You can try it out with Acrobat 8.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,
Sara

Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Email PDF Documents

I've been using Acrobat Reader for quite some time but am a Newbie with Adobe Acrobat's features. I need some information, if someone out there would be so kind. Once you create a PDF document, of lets say 10 pages, is it possible to email only CERTAIN PAGES, or do you have to send the entire document?
Thanks
Mike Shepard

you might use XSLT:
create a xml document with the required data (valid to a special DTD you 'd have to design).
create a xsl stylesheet which transforms this xml document to pdf
how it might work:
- servlet receives the request
- servlet generates (FileWriter) the xml document
- servlet transforms the xml document using the given stylesheet (javax.xml.transform)
- you could link the output (result) directly to the servlets output stream, alternatively you could write the result to a temporary file and redirect the request to the given file which will be deleted after a while...
hope it helps :)
PS: you might also use cocoon which is (as i think) java based - but i didn't work with it now - sorry
