Why is Microsoft Publisher not a supported format for creating pdfs?

I am a newsletter editor and I have been creating pdfs from Publisher for years. However, today when I went to my Adobe Acrobat X to create a pdf from a MS Publisher file, I discovered that MS Publisher is not on the Files of type list of supported formats. Luckily, there is a toolbar tab in MS Publisher to convert the file to an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file. Why can I get there from MS Publisher and not from Adobe Acrobat X?
Also, I like to use different fonts in my newsletter, but the conversion process baulks. Is there a list of no-no fonts for conversion?

The requisite programming / coding to assure PDFMaker can function with the MS Office applications is non-trivial.
Only MS Word has the "full boat". Historically it was MS that asked Adobe to come up with what is now called "PDFMaker".
Specifically the request was for MS Word. An overwhelming number of MS clients (enterprise in particular) wanted an easier way to create not only PDF but better, interactive PDF.
The "success" was announced in a major MS hosted "conclave" back in the day.
(a good history research project for those who are skeptical)
Some "outlying" MS applications have never been PDFMaker friendly. MS Publisher and MS Access are two of the more notables.
As Adobe provides a page layout program of its own (InDesign - and, yes Publisher too is a "page layout" application) I've always found it odd that Adobe's Acrobat team expended resources on MS Publisher.
I've had MS Publisher with every version of Office I've had. While I do not use it "professionally" (FrameMaker please) I use it enough to know it does not support PDFMaker functionality very well.
As PDF is an ISO Standard and Microsoft (as well as Adobe) are active participants on the U.S. Committee for PDF-Reference (ISO 32000) the question is better posed to Microsoft's MS Publisher management.
The questions you need to ask of the MS Publisher development team are:
"Why are you not providing acceptable support for output of well-formed, ISO 32000 compliant PDF (which by the way would include PDF/UA-1 compliance ablity)?
The MS Word team is doing it.
Adobe's InDesign team is doing it.
So, what is the problem with the MS Publisher team?
In short the issue rests with the business decisions made by the MS Publisher team's management.
Again, PDF is an ISO STANDARD not something held captive by Adobe.
Be well...

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Apple: Why isn't 16:9 a supported format?

    This has been bugging me for a couple of years now. And no - I'm not as stupid as the title suggests.
    But seriously. When I capture a 16:9 anamorphic file using the correct settings, or having edited and exported a 16:9 sequence... Why is everything squished and squashed when playing it in QTplayer or importing it as a clip in FCP? Or for that matter - why does DVDSP or Compressor not recognize the FCP-exported 16:9 sequence as that?
    If this metadata is such a big problem to pass on, I would at least reccomend 16:9 to be the default ratio while they embed a real flag for this! I mean. What format is most used by video-professionals these days? Is it 4:3? Or is it perhaps 16:9?
    I know about both square and rectangular pixels, and I know a whole lot of workarounds to get the result as I want it. But they all require manual punch-in, they are all multiple step-processes that take time, and they all have pitfalls. And seriously - even if I get it - people around me don't... I'm kinda getting tired of telling everybody "You have to do this and this stupid thing..."
    Aren't these things just supposed to "work"?
    So... Why isn't 16:9 a supported format?

    I have to deal with this in my real job and to be honest, it gives me a huge headache; integrating SD, analog and HD material into one show whatever the flavor of the day is - is that video cropped, squished or stretched or letterboxed or pillarboxed....wait, I need that to be stretched from that show and that to be cropped from that show and and and and....
    I can't provide a solution as I don't understand it all myself, however, to answer your query of what aspect ratio is predominantly used it is still 4:3 NTSC here in the U.S. Until all programming is HD and everyone has purchased an ATSC tv, I think we'll be stuck with this issue.

  • Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM?

    Hi Gurus,
    Yesterday I insert a new row at OB08 tx. at backend system (R/3) for exchange rate of May 17,2010, the value was 10.00. Then I run the BBP_GET_EXRATE program to replicate the info to SRM.
    But when I created a purchase order (PO) the value was 12.24 for exchange rate (this value 12.24 is the value for the previous day May 16, 2010).
    Today morning (May 18, 2010), I inserted another row at R/3 and replicated to SRM, the new value for May 18 was 11. I create another PO and the value was 10 for exchange rate (the value for yesterday).
    But when the PO is transmitted to R/3, the exchange rate is the correct.
    My question is: Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM? Exists an aspect of memory in SRM that it has to be refreshed? Why SRM is getting the exchange rate for yesterday? Is an issue for time zone?

    Hi Muthu,
    I'm in Extended classic.
    I already discovered what is happening. At the time of being creating the purchase order (PO), it takes the exchange rate of the delivery date of the shopping cart (SC). But when the order is authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3, it takes the exchange rate of the date of creation of the PO.
    Two checks of budget exist:
    1.- When creating PO (exchange rate date of delivery date of the SC's item)
    2.- When authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3 (exchange rate date of creation date of the PO)
    If exchange rate of delivery date of the SC is lower than exchange rate date of creation of the PO, there are cases in which it is marking budget error.
    Now my question is: It is a standard behavior? (to take different exchange rate)

  • I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

    I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

    If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
    But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change date format for ‘Created’ field in the getVersions web service.
    Per my knowledge, you can get the date format for ‘Created’ field as “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a”.

  • New Format for creating Attribute Sets.

    Hi,
    In SAP CRM webclient ui 7.0 there is a new format for creating Attribute Sets. The format is 'value table'.
    On selecting Format=Value Table the field 'Table' comes up.
    There is a message: Here you can enter a table that contains all the values you want to use. This is particularly useful for attributes with a lot of values or if you want to enter multiple attributes with the same values. The table must be a check table with a search help.
    Do I need to create a table with all the fields in in marketing attribute assignment block with search help on attributes field.
    Can you please guide as to how I should go about this issue.
    Regards,
    John.

    Hi John,
    The Attribute Set of Format type 'Value Table' is for the Mutiple Attribute Sets. These can be either a Single Attribute Set with Multiple values or the Multiple Attribute Sets with One value.
    You can include all such marketing attributes into one table which is a check table with search help. and use this as the Value Table.
    Hope this helps you out!
    Regards

  • Airport in Bridge mode "not a supported format." Are you F'n kidding me?

    Forgive me if I'm freakin' a bit but I am at my wits end with Apple. Here's the breakdown.
    Fiber DSL into a standard wired 4 port D-Link router. Router is connected to HP 24 port switch because the D-Link does not have enough ports for my house. Switch feeds cat5 to all rooms in the house. Airport Extreme (newest version) is in living room and set to Bridge mode. I use it to connect multiple items in my entertainment area and wireless access for the Macbooks and iPhones.
    Up to a few weeks ago I was connecting my iMac via wireless but got sick of the connection dropping (pings would be unresponsive for minutes on end). I ended up moving my desk and plugging into a cat5 port on the wall. Well guess what... it's still dropping. OK, I removed everything from the network and started adding things one at a time over the past few days. Everything was running better than ever until I plugged the Airport back into the network. Mind you, I'm not running my iMac into the Airport, it is simply on the same network.
    After shaking my head for a while I called Apple. Well I just got off the phone w/ Tier 3 tech support for the Airport Extremes. I tell them that I have no idea why, but I'm only dropping connections when the Airport is on the network and I'm just curious if there is something in the settings that I'm missing. This is where it gets good... The brilliant Tier 3 "Technician" tells me that I am running an unsupported configuration because the Airport is running in bridge mode and it's attached to a wired router across the house. He says that if the D-Link router was also wireless he could help me. I asked what the difference was if it was wired or wireless but all he could say was he couldn't help me because it was a unsupported configuration.
    So - I'm ready to send all my CrApple gear to some poor kids on the other side of the world. Anyone have any ideas here?

    Bob Timmons wrote:
    I'm reading the original post with the understanding that the AirPort Extreme is connected by ethernet to the network and the replies indicate that as well.
    Are you saying that if the Extreme is in bridge mode connected by ethernet that the ports are not active?
    Not at all. What I was trying to say was that the connection from the Extreme to the internet must go through the WAN port, not a LAN port. In a large network, this can happen unintentionally. For instance, suppose a client has Internet sharing enabled and is connected wirelessly to the Extreme and by Ethernet to another router. Then the internet connection from the other router would be shared with the entire subnet, including the Extreme through its LAN port. This could cause problems with the network.
    However, with the network setup Jerastan describes, this does not seem to be the cause.

  • Why does some published text maintain font/format randomly on a page?

    I'm pretty good with this stuff but can't figure this one out: When designing 1-word links on any given page, all using the same font/size, all in a vertical list, for no apparent reason some of the text/links, when published, maintain the font/format precisely, while some do not and by default choose a "similar" font? I've been forced to create picture files of individual links to maintain their look, thereby losing the roll-over and re-size capacity.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Does anyone have an answer for this? I'm stuck too. I make a beautiful looking web page in iweb 8.0, only to find that fonts have changed, sizes have changed etc when I go to publish. Need help!

  • Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

    I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
    If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
    http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
    What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
    Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

    I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
    So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
    I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
    Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

  • Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

    Long story short:
    I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
    Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
    (is this bug or a "feature"?)
    Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
    Thanks!

    A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
    B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
    C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

  • My ole' Premiere program...trying to convert created video into supported format for youtube...

    I have the Adobe Premiere 3.0 program...i know, i know...pretty ancient. But hey, it works for the time being...lo. My problem is, i keep creating videos from this program, and am unable to convert it into the format supported by Youtube...HEEELLLPPP!!! The format i am saving it in is, [.prel]. the formats acceptable are; MPE4 format [Divx, Xvid, or SQV3 instead of h. 264] at 640x480 resolution with MP3audio [64k momo]
    After reading those stereo instructions, my question is....hoe do I convert an already designed video to fit these specs?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance, and I love you all.

    Thanks Hunt, hun.
    Been trying to figure this out for some time now. I am not that knowledgeable in the formats for videos being uploaded to different sites, but i am pretty good at creating videos. I am saving them in the format [.prel], and have no iea as to how to convert the format from - .prel, to {any other format}. I am looking on the program, and see no spot for conversion. i also have a program called prism video converter, which was unable to convert the format as wel, due to the fact that they dont support beginning formats of -.prel, as well. So i am within a rock a very very hard place right now. Is there a different program which i could install, which would allow me to convert the premiere videos i have created into another format? i recently downloaded the trial version of premiere pro. I hope this program allows me to take the saved project, and convert it into a usable format. Thanks again for all your assistance hun. Really appreesh it.

  • Supported formats for capturing audio

  • Vast Apple Conspiracy! (iPod Not Working When Formatted for Windows)

    Alright, I know this isn't the place to make the claim of an Apple conspiracy, but as a mac user who proudly has an apple sticker on his car who has experienced the events below first hand - I feel there is only one explanation one can come to.
    VAST APPLE CONSPIRACY!
    Alright, my friend has a 30GB 5G iPod and runs windows. I own a MacBook that has OSX 10.4.7 and Windows. He has had problems in the past with his computer, but never with his iPod until the 1.2 update rolled out with iTunes 7. Now after one move of the cursor or change of menu the screen turns into a bunch of pixels reminiscent of a television set to static. Only it makes no noise and never moves, it just sits with the backlight on until it dies, or until you hold the menu and center buttons, then it restarts and does the same thing.
    So being the good nerdy friend that I am I offer to take it home and reformat it on my Mac then on Windows to see if maybe that helps (thinking something is up with his computer again). It starts out promising enough, because I was able to reformat it for Macintosh load on music, videos and games play them all and shut it down properly.
    So I switch to Windows XP and reformat it for Windows in iTunes 7 and the same problem starts up again!
    Now aside from a vast Apple conspiracy, does anyone have any suggestions, perhaps others are experiencing this problem? Keep in mind the iPod worked fine when formatted for Mac and it is highly unlikely two Windows computers have the exact same flaw (especially on mine that goes almost unused and has virus and spyware protection).
    -Jeremy K.
    MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo   Windows XP  

    Ummm
    the APPLE software is less than a month old. I am sure it was tested extensively on APPLE computers before release. Due to apple's configurations there are only a few systems it had to be tested on.
    Now on windows... how many of thousands of geeks out there build their own machines with different graphics, audio, usb pci cards etc etc... Impossible for apple to test it out as extensively on win xp...
    I imagine in 2 - 3 months we will have itunes 7.0.2 or 7.0.3 that addresses many of the issues windows users are having. That's how it was with itunes 6, this is not a new phenomenon by any means.
