What (ISO?) document completely specifies the PDF file format?

Is there ONE (ISO?) document that FULLY specifies the format of a PDF file format? Where to obtain it?
I need it so I can write a program that will perform some processes on PDF files.
Thanks

For all practical purposes there's no file size limit in the ISO PDF specification, however the bit length of internal references means there will be problems at around 10GB. There's also a limit of 2 billion pages (the page count attribute is a 32-bit int).
Distiller won't output more than 32767 pages at a time, but I know cases of archivists working with 100,000-page text files (created by appending thousands of documents, but not in Acrobat).
Having said that, the Acrobat Family is 32-bit code, so can only allocate 2GB of process memory. This means you can't perform tasks where an asset larger than the allocated free space has to be retained in RAM, and that includes the save operation. The Acrobat X Family will open an existing file >2GB, and Acrobat X will assemble PDF Portfolios >2GB, but can't save them.
Given that creating >2GB files is a very rare scenario, there are no announced plans to implement x64 flavors of Acrobat or Distiller.

Hi,
Based on your code, I see your code related to
iTextSharp Pdf.
iText is a third party library to create PDF originally written for java. iTextSharp is
the C# adaptation of that library.
Question regarding iText are better asked on the iText forum, rather than the Microsoft Forum:
http://itextpdf.com/support
Thanks for your understanding.

Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?

Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?
What do I need to do to bring the graphics and exhibits from the PDF file to the Word file?

Hi jackp52432917,
How was that PDF file created? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

Hi Melfour-
Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:

Hope that helps.

What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
.docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
As Alex Brown covers in his
blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

How to show the pdf file into the UIWebView from iphone documents directory?

Hi ,
I am working on web services right now I am getting string into base64 format. After decoding that string into NSData i am saving that data as a pdf into Document directory of iphone. Now the problem is that when I want to show the pdf into UIwebView then it is showing blank page. But when I am checking into /Users/pareshkarnawat/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Applications/ the pdf file is correctly generated and working fine when I ope it.
How to show that pdf file into UIwebview ? or is there any alernative for this.
Any ideas on how I can go about this? I have looked at a few posts and still can't seem to figure it out.
Any idea's appreciated, thanks

The result is a UIWebView that displays a blank page. No errors occur in the UIWebView delegate method. The thing is that data has the correct length, in bytes, for the PDF I am trying to display, and I also get the pdf file in Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Applications/ Does anyone have an idea as to what might be going wrong here or how I can better debug this problem?

What do you mean by "copy and paste a page"? What tool have you selected? Or are you just assuming you can select stuff and copy/paste as in Word?

How to solve the issue
If help appriciated

Hi Dhaya,
I created a Content Organizer rule like this:
When uploading a .pdf file to the Drop Off library, it is moved to the destination library immediately:
I suggest you create a similar rule as above for another test to see if the issue still persists.

K1- How to copy the *.pdf file to K1 , and what dir to copy to ???

I did not install SD card into my K1 .
When I connected K1 to my PC (window XP) I saw the directories:
- Alarms.
- capture.
I had some book in *.pdf file format. I like to copy those pdf file to K1 so I can read under Adobe reader. What DIRECTORY I should copy to ?????
Best Regards.

You can put the PDF files anywhere you want, as long as you remember where you put them. Just as you'd do on a desktop operating system, like Windows or OS X, open a file manager app on your K1, and use the file manager app to navigate to your PDF file. Tap on the PDF file and Android will ask you which program (like Adobe Reader) you want to use to open it. For file managers, I like this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd It's ad-supported though, so there'll be a little advertisement in the corner. Or use the file manager app that is preinstalled on the K1.

While converting spool to PDF, no data is coming in the PDF file.

Hi All,
I am submitting a z program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1 (which has some output display) from Z_ITSLIP_MAIL. I am creating a job, submitting the above program via JOB to SAP-SPOOL.
In program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1 , I am getting the run time job information and from there I am getting the spool id. Now I am converting the spool id to a PDF. This PDF should contain the output of the program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1. This output is normal output using Write statement only. But once the program is executed, I could find no data in the PDF file. When I check in SM37 and SP02, both the JOB and the SPOOL are created. What I feel is the program is not picking the spool id at the run time. Could any one help me in this regard how to proceed.

Hi,
I think you are retrieving the spool before the entire spool is generated.
Put the following logic to retrieve spool iD
CHECK WHETHER STATUS OF JOB IS COMPLETED OR CANCELLED
WHILE 1 = 1.
GET THE JOB STEPLIST WHICH HAS THE SPOOL NUMBER
    CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOB_READ'
      EXPORTING
        job_read_jobcount           = w_jobcount
        job_read_jobname            = w_jobname
        job_read_opcode             = '35'
JOB_STEP_NUMBER             =
     IMPORTING
       job_read_jobhead            = wa_jobhead
     TABLES
       job_read_steplist           = i_jobsteplist
CHANGING
RET                         =
   EXCEPTIONS
     invalid_opcode              = 1
     job_doesnt_exist            = 2
     job_doesnt_have_steps       = 3
     OTHERS                      = 4
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
             WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    ENDIF.
BEGIN OF INSERTION U179942 E1BK928781
IF STATUS OF JOB IS COMPLETED(F) OR CANCELLED(A)
READ THE JOBSTEPLIST & GET THE SPOOL NUMBER
    IF wa_jobhead-status = c_a OR wa_jobhead-status = c_f.
      READ TABLE i_jobsteplist INTO wa_jobsteplist INDEX 1.
      CHECK wa_jobsteplist-listident <> space.
      w_spool_number = wa_jobsteplist-listident.

InsertPage RaiseError: An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file

Hi,
I am trying to build a button script that will create a new document, copy (insert) from the first page of the open document, save it, then close it. I believe the part where it gets tricky -- and possibly not doable -- is that the original (source) document uses a template; full of form fields to possibly be spawned off as new pages.
Given the above, ideally the user of the form can click on the "save new page" button: it creates anj Inserted copy of the first form page, cleared of content if any has been entered, and not including any other pages that may have been spawned.
With the code I am using, it currently creates the copy of the page and it inserts it as the zeroeth page (ahead of a blank page I intend to add code later to delete) and saves it. However, there are a couple of problems that come up with this. First is the error code that opens in the debugger:
RaiseError: An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file
Doc.insertPages:29:AcroForm:Save New Form:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
===> An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file
Despite the error it does still save the page (form copy) as mentioned above. However, if you try to start working with it, it lets you know that there are no form fields on the document (even though they are all there and seemingly functional).   When I look to edit the fields, it will then ask you if you want to try to recognize the fields. If I click on "yes", it says it was unable to, but then the form opens up with all of the field names perfectly matching the original. If I click on "no" it just opens the page with all of the fields perfectly matching again. So I feel like I am close to being able to do this!
I am using the following code to produce my results:
(In the JavaScript "app" folder, I have the following trusted functions:)
myTrustedMenu = app.trustedFunction(function(name)
    app.beginPriv();
    app.execMenuItem(name);
    app.endPriv();
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, namePath)
    app.beginPriv();
    doc.saveAs(namePath);
    app.endPriv();
myTrustedNewDoc = app.trustedFunction(function()
    app.beginPriv();
    var doc = app.newDoc();
    app.endPriv();
    return doc;
myTrustedInsertPage = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, namePath)
    app.beginPriv();
    doc.insertPages ({
        nPage: -1,
        cPath: namePath,
        nStart: 0
    app.endPriv();
(On the "Save New Form" button, the following code is activated:)
// First split document path into an array
var aPathComps = this.path.split("/");
// Get File Name off end of array
var myFileName = aPathComps.pop();
var pathway = aPathComps.join("/");
var myDoc = myTrustedNewDoc();
myTrustedSaveAs(myDoc, pathway + "/test.pdf");
myTrustedInsertPage(myDoc, this.path);
//myDoc.resetForm();
//myDoc.closeDoc(true);
I apologize for the long post and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to look into this issue for me.
Thanks,
Mike

You nailed it TSN! Deleting the tags did the trick. Thank you so much for your help! Just an FYI for any of you fellow "noobs" that might be referencing this discussion, to open the "Tabs" view (in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI in my case) go to View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panels > Tags. I looked all over the place for that until I found a document that mentioned how to open it.
Thanks for pointing out specifically how to get here. Thanks to the all for this post!
I also encountered this error, "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file" from my published MadCap Flare user guide. I am attempting to find a way to build a bridge between Flare and Google documents for corporate-wide collaboration. Thus far, it's a crazy challenge finding a way to produce gdocs from Flare output. Neither product makes this easy. The closest I can get is by publishing the Flare doc as a PDF... but then I must break that document down into 2mb chucks...which led me to this problem, after attempting to use the Adobe Acrobat splitting tool.
Question:
What is the root cause of these bad tags. There are a LOT of them! Is this a fault in the way MadCap Flare creates a PDF document?
Yes, deleting some of the tags will allow me to finally split a PDF document. Unfortunately, this error occurs in all my published PDF documents, thus preventing me from automating (scripting) this split and then conversion to Google Docs!
Thank you

What (ISO?) document completely specifies the PDF file format?
