Want to erase a line in pdf file?

Is there a way to use Preview to erase a line from a pdf file?
thanks,
Larry

Greetings,
The full blown version of Adobe Acrobat, but the Adobe Acrobat Reader, that's free to download, won't.
Cheers,

Thin lines in pdf file

Hi all!
I have a question. The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
1. General - only media size
2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
4. Graphic - none
5. Color Managment - none
6. Advanced - none
7. Summary - none
After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced.
Why this happend? Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears.. Help!

It always was in a bitmap.

Numbered lines in pdf file

Converted Word file with numbered lines to pdf, but the numbers themselves did not convert. How do I add numbers to pdf lines?

Closely evaluate the authoring file's configuration. If an "auto-number" style prefix was used you may want to look that over. Regardless, with a correct configuration the numbers would be part of the content that goes to the PDF.
Be well...

Thin lines in pdf file displayed on mac

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to bring this up. So redirection elsewhere is appreciated!
I've noticed a problem with displaying certain pdf files on a mac. The files are 2D filled plots produced by the free scientific software Yorick (http://yorick.sourceforge.net/). It happens when I view it in Preview or Powerpoint on a mac. But not if I use a pdf viewer on a unix system. The yorick source code for a simple example is below. I can't find a way to attach files to this messages or I'd include the pdf's. Is there a way to do this?
Both png's are fine, and the pdf of the pli plot is fine. pli assumes uniform grid spacing, is fast, and must use different graphics primitives than plf, which does not assume uniform grids (i.e. you can have non-square elements). In this case both x and y grids really are uniform. The problem is with the pdf of the plf plot. Look at it in Preview, you should see some thin lines. Put it in powerpoint and the same. If you put some solid colored box in back of it, you'll see the color. So the lines are transparent or something.
David Munro, the creator of Yorick, suggests it's an issue with anti-aliasing.
Anyway, the problem isn't that severe in this example, but in others (which don't have simple source code) it's more annoying.
Either way, any advice on this, or the right people to report this to, is appreciated.
Cheers,
David

As I suspected, the problem is that the other viewers are not savvy enough to handle the "stitching problem".
What looks like a single image is really a WHOLE LOT of single squares. I took a snapshot of the Edit Object tool in Acrobat with all the objects selected. See <https://photos-3.dropbox.com/i/o/R6asqv64sEP1Tf7eIEBfNbFbMw0F7qKEaFwfnXQVKLo/1644474/12950 96400/0fa9181>.
As you can see from that, each square is a separate image that needs to be rendered and if the viewer doesn't understand how to proper stitch the pieces together then you will get empty pixels (which appears as white lines).
Either contact the author of the program that authored the document and see about getting that fixed (if it's not you) and/or contact the other viewers about improving their products.

Visible lines in PDF files

I have noticed several times now, that I can see knockout lines in the PDF files from the textbox or objectbox which should not be there
As you can see in the below screendump taken from an AI file the objectbox line goes through the placed text and this is visible in the PDF file

They are commonly referred to as Stitching Lines and are a display artifact resulting from Transparency Flattening. The most accurate way to determine is to zoom in, up to 4000%. You should notice that they do not scale as you zoom.
The design incorporates transparency in the Genie mirror image, and this frame overlaps the type on a path. When Exporting, Saving or Writing to PDF using any setting that does not preserve Live Transparency any objects interacting with transparent objects are affected.
Common ways to eliminate the effect include creating seperate, higher layers for Type (and as many layers as neccesary). Objects on unique layers are not affected during the flattening process.
The more current and arguably better practice is utilize PDF settings which Preserve Live Transparency. (Current RIP's have suitable management for Live Transparency). PDF X/1a is not appropriate.
You could fiddle with Acrobats Display preferences to minimize the Stitching, but it is a trade-off to other display options; Smooth Fine Lines, Aliasing, etc.
Stitching Lines, commonly and rightfully, cause concern in display, and may apppear using low resolution output devices but do not print on high end commercial workflows.
Google Stitching Lines - read up especially at InDesignSecrets.com; this is a cross-program commonality; the fixes apply.

I want to use preview to view pdf files without trashing the adobe plug-ins?

Some of the government web sites that I need to visit regularly require me to use firefox and adobe for opening and viewing files. I would like to still be able to use Safari and Preview for opening, viewing and printing files from other web sites. Before the latest adobe update this was no problem, but now Adobe seems to have taken control over the viewing and printing settings so that even though I try printing from a Safari viewer window I get an Adobe message that this is not supported. I tried to search for an answer as I suppose I am not the only one having this problem after the most recent Adobe update. Thanks for your great help everyone. /Christian

See if either of these help you.

I want help getting started in transporting PDF files.

I have purchased the ability to transport PDF files. I have clicked on my account and e-mail several times. However, it will not respond.
Thank you.

I'm guessing, Adobe SendNow https://www.acrobat.com/sendnow/
but that's all I know about it.

Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

I downloaded a magazine as a web archive and want to know can I convert it to a PDF file and if so, how do I do that please

I downloaded an magazine as a web archive and want to convert ii to a PDF file. Can I do this and if so, how ? Thank You

Thank you Frederic, however when I click on "open with", 3 sidebars (?) open in this order ..Safari (default); Textedit; Other. If I click on "other", another window opens with "recommended applications" highlighted. Preview is not one of the chosen applications. However if I click on "all applications", Preview is then highlighted, but it only has an "open" window and I don't get an opportunity to File>Save as PDF.
I hope this makes sense...ellietess

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

Merging PDF files through a script

Hi everyone,
I want to merge a couple of PDF files
through a script, because i have to do
it for a good number of them every time
I get them sent.
I was wondering, does Reader have a
command that can be called in the command
line in order to merge this pdf files through
a script.
Ted.

Reader can do very few things besides being a reader. If you wanna merge PDF files, use a PDF merger.

Merge Many PDF files in several PDF Files

Hi,
I have about 500 PDF Files :
PDF_A1
PDF_A2
PDF_B1
PDF_B2
EtC.
I want to Merge all my 500 PDF Files in 250 PDF files. I want to merge A1 with A2. B1 with B2 etc. Any idea to how to do ?
Thank you

Hi Dave,
First, the issue does not exist anymore. We have decided to merge all documents in the same file. that's done and OK
Then, Any way, I have found a solution:
Use a script to put in different folders all files which must be together. I mean Folder A will contain files A1 and A2. Folder B will contain files B1 and B2 ...
Then use a PDF software in command line to merge all PDF files folder by folder.
Thnak you for your reply.
