Everything went fine. Part of the PS code I used is listed at the end of this message. Today I started using Acrobat Distiller 3.0 and to my surprise a lot of bookmarks were gone. In fact bookmarks with alength longer than 128 characters were gone. I know this limit exists for interactive creation of bookmarks in Exchange. In the PDFmark reference m,anual however it is stated (page 12): " Title has a maximum length of 65,535 charachters" Another thing is that I get a sharing violation on drive C when I start the Distiller. Has anyone got a clue what goes wrong ?

The Acrobat family of software products is the core technology used at EMERGE, both as a part of a document/image management solution (using Acrobat Capture) and for electronic publishing on CD-ROM and on the Internet/World Wide Web. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_ NEWS 12/1/97 ---- Having completely switched now to our new web home and domain a few weeks ago, please note the corresponding change to the PDF LIST address (for posting) and subscription address (for subscribing or unsubscribing): Things have gone fairly smoothly, but to recap, here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure continued success: 1. *After* subscribing, be sure to send messages meant for all list subscribers TO rather than , the former address. 2. Post messages *only* from the exact email address you subscribed to the list. If your sending address does not match your subscribed address, your message will bounce to the listowner. It will *not* be forwarded to the list if your address is not subscribed. You will be reminded once if you make this mistake, and it'll be your responsibility to rectify the problem, one way or another. 3. Messages sent to the list are automatically rejected IF they contain certain "taboo" words in the Subject header or first few lines of the message. Majordomo will flag messages sent to the LIST address that contain words like "subscribe," "unsubscribe" or "help." Such messages should be sent to the SERVER address (using the proper "listname"). 4. Do *not* forward to the entire list the full-text of messages to which you are replying. Instead, edit the previous message(s) and include ONLY enough of it to provide context to your reply. Also, remove redundant footer information from your replies, too. 5. People who are subscribed to the "digest" version of PDF must be sure to unsubscribe from PDF-Digest, not from the main PDF list. The SERVER addresses of the lists are separate. Additionally, we request that all subscribers understand and abide by the list policies (detailed below), especially regarding the exclusion of commercial posts and/or flaming. Flagrant violations can result in people being unsubscribed from the list. We prefer not to have to take such action, but will not hesitate to do so if the situation warrants it. GENERAL INFORMATION +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. About the PDF list +++++++++++++++++++++++ The PDF list is intended to be a *general-purpose* electronic discussion area for devotees of Adobe Acrobat software and its portable document format (pdf). It is a place to ask questions, share ideas and exchange pdf-related information. Our other lists feature related, but slightly different, topics: * Capture for Acrobat Capture discussions * PDF-Announce for more commercially oriented messages * Emerge EXTRA, a weekly Acrobat PDF ezine Please use the right list. For example, if you're hoping for a reply from experienced users of Acrobat Capture software, you'll likely get better results from joining and posting to the Capture list. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. How to send messages to the PDF list +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Send messages intended for all list subscribers to the "list address": pdf@lists.pdfzone.com This will distribute your message to all PDF subscribers, currently more than 1400 world-wide (including the main list and its associated digest version together). ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3. If you have trouble ++++++++++++++++++++++++ First, contact your local site administrator, who may be able to help you. If that fails, contact the PDF listowner, Kurt Foss, at: kfoss@pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++ 4. How to unsubscribe +++++++++++++++++++++++ If you ever want to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send this text in the BODY of a message: unsubscribe to this exact "server address" (and *NOT* to the list address!): pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com NOTE that you MUST be using the exact address at which you currently are subscribed to the list! You will not be able to unsubscribe yourself if you send from a different address. If you encounter problems getting unsubscribed from either version, please email the listowner *privately*. ++++++++++++++++++++++ 5. How to subscribe ++++++++++++++++++++++ If you unsubscribe and later want to sign up again, send this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this exact server address (and *NOT* to the list address!): pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com NOTE: Be sure to subscribe from the *exact* address at which you expect to send and receive list mail. You will not be able to post from an address that is not subscribed to the list. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6. How to stop mail when on vacation ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sorry, PDF does not offer a "no-mail" or "vacation" feature. To stop mail temporarily, simply unsubscribe from the list (see item #4) and re-subscribe when you return (item #5). If you do not, and if your mailing program begins sending automated "on vacation" messages back to the PDF list address, you will promptly be unsubscribed by the listowner without notification. You will need to re-subscribe upon your return. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7. Can I read this list in digest format? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ YES, as PDF can be a high-traffic list, it does offer a digest option. To subscribe to the usually once-a-day compilation of postings to PDF, send this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this exact server address (and *NOT* to the list address!): pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com If you switch to the digest version after first subscribing to the main PDF list (which forwards each list message individually as it's received), you probably will want to unsubscribe from the main PDF list (see item #4). Otherwise, you will receive both versions of the list's postings. Also, you can't unsubscribe from PDF-Digest by sending to the PDF-Request address. For the sake of subscriptions, they function as separate lists. You must send the message: unsubscribe to this exact server address (and *NOT* to the list address!): pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8. Is there an archive of the list discussions? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While Emerge does not currently offer a web-based archive for PDF, one should be available soon. (Currently PDF does have a hypermail archive -- hosted at http://econwpa.wustl.edu/~pdfl/ -- where an archive of list messages is stored. That external site includes a search function.) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9. Can I get a list of subscribers? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ No, that feature has been disabled due to abuse by bulk emailers who acquire and misuse subscriber lists. Contact the listowner if you believe you have a legitimate reason to get such a list, or to determine the exact address at which you are subscribed (i.e. for the purpose of unsubscribing). NOTE: Emerge does NOT use or sell any of its subscriber lists for commercial purposes. If you believe you are enduring email abuse as a direct result of your subscription to this list, please contact the listowner privately and identify the source of the offending message. If we can take some sort of action, we will do so. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10. This is an unmoderated list ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Messages sent to the list address (pdf@lists.pdfzone.com) are not previewed by anyone before they are relayed to all subscribers. The Majordomo list software automatically distributes copies of a message sent to the list address to all current subscribers (or sends a daily compilation to those registered for the digest version). +++++++++++++++++++++ 11. List netiquette +++++++++++++++++++++ As PDF is unmoderated, each subscriber is responsible for his or her own messages sent to the list address. Please take care in how you express your comments, since it will be distributed to more than a thousand people world-wide. Also, remember that an author's intended tone of voice can easily be lost in an email communication; if you want something to be understood in a certain way (humor, sarcasm, etc), it may help to provide an obvious indicator of tone to avoid misinterpretation. Failure to grasp the sender's tone is a common cause of angry replies, or "flames." Failure to abide by the list's policies will result first in reminders, then in removal from the list. Blatant violations, as determined by the listowner, may result in immediate removal and a ban on participation. Guidelines include: =================== 1. Please keep "flames" off the list; if you must, send them privately. Show respect for your fellow list subscribers. 2. Do NOT post blatantly commercial messages to this list. If someone poses a query for which you believe you can offer ("sell") a product or service, please send your detailed reply privately to the original sender, NOT to the entire subscriber list. A brief mention of a product or service that is a direct response to a legitimate request from another subscriber are acceptable, but it should refer the person to the source for more information. No pricing information should be posted to the list. Overly frequent "product reminders" from the same person or company will be treated as an abuse of this policy, as will suspected pre-arranged question and reply postings. If you want to post a message about a new product or service, please subscribe to and send your message to the PDF-Announce list (pdf-announce@lists.pdfzone.com), which was created for this purpose. 3. Do NOT post attachments of any kind or size to messages sent to all list subscribers. If you have a file you'd like people to examine, post only a short query to the list; ask if anyone is willing to help. Have those interested contact you privately; send the file *only* to those people (or let them know where they can the specific file). 4. In general, keep your messages short to conserve bandwidth. (They're more likely to be read by other list subscribers if you do.) When lengthy messages seem appropriate, be sure to break up the paragraphs for easy online reading. 5. If you quote someone else's words, credit them. Please be careful to make sure you are attributing excerpts of a message to the correct person. A frequent error is for a previous message to be attributed to someone else who contributed to the thread earlier. 6. Don't quote an entire message (or multiple replies within one message) as part of a reply sent back to the list address. It's usually best to quote only small portions of messages to which you are responding -- only enough to make the context of your reply understood. 7. Only post a reply if and when you have something constructive to share with *all* subscribers. Don't merely add a "Me too!" note at the end. 8. Remove the list sponsorship footer and long signature file(s) when you quote a previously posted message back to the entire list. 9. Stay on the list's stated subject. PDF will be most useful as a resource if everyone sticks to the agreed-upon topic. 10. Use a meaningful subject line. Many people decide whether they want to read a message based on the content of the subject line. 11. If a thread changes topic mid-stream, change the subject line to fit the new topic. (e.g., "Re: Reader 3.01 for IE (was Re: Acrobat on WWW)") Also, if you receive the digest version of the list, and want to reply to a specific message contained within the daily compilation, be sure to change the Subject to reflect the topic of the individual message to which you are responding. 12. Sign all of your messages. Other subscribers are more apt to read your postings if they can associate your true identity with your comments. Many return email addresses do not indicate who you are (e.g. 70541@compuserve.com), so please remember to sign your name and, if appropriate, also include your professional affiliation. 13. Be tolerant of newcomers who make honest mistakes, or who ask basic questions. We were all new to Internet discussion lists and pdf-related technology once. If you have nothing beneficial to say, say nothing. If you have a concern about a posting by someone else, please feel free to contact the listowner privately. 14. The listowner's time -- and patience -- is limited. If several "bounces" are returned from an mail server indicating email addressed to a certain account repeatedly could not *for any reason* be delivered, the account will be unsubscribed from the list. If one day you notice that your PDF or PDF-Digest messages have stopped coming, you can send a note to the listowner to inquire of your status. +++++++++++++++++++++++ 12. Respect copyright +++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do not distribute copyrighted information to the PDF list. Sending the full text of a newspaper or magazine article about Adobe Acrobat, for example, is not acceptable and is a violation of the publication's copyright. It is acceptable to send excerpts of that article to the list, under "fair use." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13. Posting policy/guidelines ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please be aware that your messages posted to the PDF list are archived by the list owner. Subscribers agree to allow Emerge to archive their posts to the list with no expectation of financial or other compensation. Acceptance of this condition is a requirement of participation in the PDF list. If this is not acceptable, please do NOT post messages to the list. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 14. Statistics for PDF & PDF-Digest ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Number of subscribers (includes gateways*) as of December 1, 1997 PDF 738 PDF-Digest 833 * There's no way to know how many people actually read this list. Many subscribing addresses are gateways to multiple recipients at corporate and educational LANs. === _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ --> T h e E m e r g e P D F z o n e <-- "Solutions for PDF Professionals" _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Kurt Foss Internet Communications Manager EMERGE 800-829-2459 or 608-829-3454 x102 579 D'Onofrio Drive FAX: 608-829-3561 Suite 101 EMAIL: mailto:kfoss@pdfzone.com Madison, WI 53719 WWW: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/ ========================================================== +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1-Dec-1997 18:36:12-GMT,3685;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA07754 for ; Mon, 1 Dec 1997 11:36:09 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA21644; Mon, 1 Dec 1997 12:26:33 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 1 Dec 1997 12:22:16 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA21482; Mon, 1 Dec 1997 12:22:14 -0600 Message-ID: From: Shawn McBride To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] Distiller 3.01 crash with individual watched folders Date: Mon, 1 Dec 1997 12:22:50 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.995.52 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by everglades.binc.net id MAA21479 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 Unfortunatly there's no work around for setting multiple watched folders with different Job options. This info from the Adobe Website. Issue Adobe Acrobat Distiller 3.01 freezes or quits when you start it. Details You specified custom job options for at least one watched folder by clicking Edit Options in the Watched Folder Options dialog box. Solutions Delete the Dprefs file from each watched folder. Then, start Acrobat Distiller, choose Distiller > Job Options, and specify the job options you want to use for the watched folders. OR: Use Acrobat Distiller 3.0. Additional Information Acrobat Distiller 3.01 cannot use custom job options for a watched folder. The Acrobat Distiller Online Guides states that while setting up a watched folder, you can click "Edit Options to change the Job Options controlling compression, fonts, and advanced settings for this folder." However, if you click Edit Options and specify custom job options for the watched folder, Acrobat Distiller 3.01 will freeze or quit the next time you try to start it. When you specify custom job options for a watched folder, Acrobat Distiller creates a Dprefs file that contains information about those options and stores it in the watched folder. If you delete the Dprefs file, Acrobat Distiller uses its default job options for watched folders and starts as expected. The Dprefs file is a hidden file, so you may need to set up Windows Explorer or File Manager to see it. To see the file in Windows 95 or Windows NT, set up Explorer to display the file's name: 1. In Explorer, choose View > Options. 2. Click the View tab. 3. Select Show All Files, and deselect "Hide MS-DOS File Extensions for File Types That Are Registered." 4. Click OK.

Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 I am pleased to announce pdf-prepress-l. Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d. Thank you. I will send this announcement to pdf-l once a week to let newcomers know of this development. -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 2-Dec-1997 1:22:13-GMT,2696;000000000001 Received: from plot79.math.utah.edu (beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu [128.110.198.3]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA18147; Mon, 1 Dec 1997 18:22:06 -0700 (MST) From: "Nelson H.

If Acrobat Reader/Exchange can read the file, so can other software, including text editors (and their human controllers). That is why you should turn on font subsetting, which sadly, is not usefully on by default in Acrobat Distiller. With font subsets, fonts will still be present (unless they are members of the basic set of 14 (see p. 64 of the Adobe Portable Document Format Reference Manual) assumed to be available to all PDF readers), but they will have funny names, and will contain only the glyphs that are actually used in the document.

Hope this helps. Ahh, this sounds like a bad nightmare I once had. To further complicate the problem, Quark sends the colors with CMYK definations. If you use RGB, or other color models, Quark is going to define in in CMYK, so you can't really get the actual colors you're looking for. At least that's my recollection. :) -Dave ========================================================================= David Wolz, Digital Publishing Products Manager Phone:(414)784-9500 Sells Printing Company, LLC 800:(800)728-9501 16000 West Rogers Drive Fax:(414)784-8551 New Berlin, WI 53151 Email: wolz@sells.com ========================================================================= So many morons.....

If Acrobat Reader/Exchange can read the file, so can other software, including text editors (and their human controllers). That is why you should turn on font subsetting, which sadly, is not usefully on by default in Acrobat Distiller. With font subsets, fonts will still be present (unless they are members of the basic set of 14 (see p. 64 of the Adobe Portable Document Format Reference Manual) assumed to be available to all PDF readers), but they will have funny names, and will contain only the glyphs that are actually used in the document. Also, with font subsetting, your PDF files will be smaller.

I'm sure there must be a better way, but if you go to where Explorer keeps its temporary files (on the Mac - ":System Folder:Preferences:Explorer:Temporary Files" - BTW, a good folder to alias) while MIE is running you will find the PDF file you are viewing. Just make a copy. This may not work with servers that send PDFs a page at a time. --Ross T.

A major added benefit of this method is that you can let the PDF download proceed in parallel while you go off to view other web pages with the MSIE browser (you can even initiate multiple, parallel, downloads and still continue to navigate to other pages).

The problem is as follows: By using Acrobat Exchange, one can create forms in a pdf document. Now, if the file is distributed over the internet or intranet, what would be the best way to make the web server process the information and return some information? Would this have to be done through a cgi-script, Perl, Java? Would the form function send the data back to the server in a proprietary format? Any information would be great.

IMO, it works better than Birmy PowerRIP -- in that images have less dithering. I'm relatively new at it, so my questions are probably at the beginner level. If there's a better way than asking them here, please advise. 1. It's not uncommon for me to take a grayscale or one-bit TIFF (in my Mac) and add color in Quark. With the Epson serial driver, the colored TIFF prints uncolored. In a PDF made with PSPrinter set to Acrobat Distiller 3.0, using Distiller 3.01 set to JPEG Low and printing in Exchange the TIFF prints with an off-cast (drab in one case, magenta in another). Also, the lightest tones, from 10 or 15% down, drop to white. Do I live with this? Do I use EPS files instead of TIFF? Any tips appreciated. 2. With another TIFF graphic used to place art on top of a photo, the None background was lost during conversion to PDF and it became a white background. The fix here was to use an EPS file with transparent whites. With my previous Mac (slower, smaller drives) I preferred to work with TIFFs. Now, with a PTP225 and working with Acrobat, should I be thinking EPS?

Thanks for all the input for work-arounds. My own work-around has been to use DragStrip, a launcher and D&D utility; I find it quite useful for all my apps. I was really pushing, though, for this feature to be added to Distiller itself, thinking it was not there due to cross platform issues. It's interesting to find out however (thanks Aandi), that it IS enabled for Windows95. This is really strange, since D&D has been much more popular on MacOS for some time. In the words of Jerry Sienfeld, "what's up with that" Adobe?

I'm wondering whats what with some ISPs who act as "server farms" for virtual hosting who can handle byteserving PDFs. I've got a server or two that does this now. But, I'd like to get into a server deal (for obvious economic reasons) that gives "unlimited storage" and "unlimited traffic" on "high-speed connections" at "rock-bottom prices" with "HTMLscript" --- and here is the catch -- that has PDF byteserving built-into the core-baseline services. To byteserve a PDF - for all newbies to the world of Adobe Acrobat out there - is to allow for page at a time viewing -- so that when a 100 page document is delivered via the WWW to a client the first page shows up on the screen rather quickly -- and the rest of the document streams into the clients browser cache in the background. This generally is done with a PERL script. One needs to have a bit of access to the cgi-bin to get this going. I'm not sure on the state of the PDF acceptance with all the various flavors of OSes and Web Servers out there these days. Nor am I aware of what "base-line" set-ups are being delivered. For instance, Simplenet.com, does not give ANY access to CGI-BIN for security reasons. But, after a $40 set-up fee, the cost is $10 per month. (restrictions apply). But, it seems, the PDF byteserving is not part of the traditional set-up. Sad truth. Rich, rich@simplenet.com, saids: >We do not have the PERL/CGI application that you indicated on our server. >For security reasons we do not allow CGI access. We do offer an >alternative to CGI which is called HTMLSCRIPTS. It provides the >most of the functionality of CGI. Although we do not provide technical >support for developing applications, we do have a resource page at >http://www.simplenet.com/htmlscript/ > .. SimpleNet - The Low Cost Web Hosting Service http://www.simplenet.com Another outfit, holyoak.com, has $40 set-up and $15 per month and gives the OK that all standard MIME types are supported. Months ago they said to me that PDFs were considered "standard" and that their servers were supported with this PDF byteserving as regular operations. Now as I re-open this question -- I'm looking for others to give me your summary statements. I do like the fact that there are a lot of active folks on the htmlscript discussion list from Simplenet. I don't think one can use HTMLScript to act as a PERL helper application to enable PDF Byteserving. ???? I do have complete access to my cgi-bin with one virtual server I run, hosted by bluehill.com. So there, we have no problems with PDFs, but pay on a per-meg of storage basis. It would be very cool (I should say astounding) if the HTMLScript engine could also incorporate PDF byteserving. Joe, can the engineers look into this? Furthermore, there is a major lack of knowledge out in the marketplace when it comes to making PDFs/FDF (forms data format) interactive. Boy, if that could also be incorporated into the HTMLScript engine, I bet Adobe would be thrilled as they dropped the ball big time on this, IMHO. But, I'd rather have the interface to mSQL and simple email attachments as #2 and #1 priorities for HTMLScript. I'll summarize experiences so we don't litter these lists. -------------- Mark Rauterkus, Publisher, S.S.S. http://www.sportsurf.net mrauterkus@sportsurf.net http://www.SportSurf.Net/FootNotes FootNotes: Mac E-book authoring and distribution environment with built-in multi-media, lan, web, internet and e-mail capabilities. -------------- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 3-Dec-1997 10:16:43-GMT,2745;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA00013 for ; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 03:16:41 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id EAA00516; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 04:13:17 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 3 Dec 1997 04:09:22 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA00394; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 04:09:19 -0600 Message-ID: <01BCFFD3.7DDAB9C0.quite@dial.pipex.com> From: Aandi Inston To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] Re: Signup --- ISPs who do and don't allow Byteserving Date: Wed, 3 Dec 1997 10:08:32 -0000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 On Tuesday, 2 December, 1997 22:02, Mark Rauterkus [SMTP:mrauterkus@sportsurf.net] wrote: > > I'm wondering whats what with some ISPs who act as "server farms" for > virtual hosting who can handle byteserving PDFs.

My ISP (netbenefit.co.uk) originally did not support it, so I installed a CGI (you tend to pay more for CGI, and no wonder). Later I found they had upgraded their Apache server to one which supports it. Adobe's web site used to, and probably still does, have a list of web servers which work. But how to find out which server they are running for a particular site (check a customer site, not their own): TELNET www.whateveritis.com 80 GET THIS HTTP/1.0 [another CR] Server should reply with a bunch of stuff including something like Server: Apache/1.2.1 Aandi +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 3-Dec-1997 12:48:22-GMT,3015;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA02588 for ; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 05:48:20 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id GAA03717; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 06:45:18 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 3 Dec 1997 06:43:04 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA03613; Wed, 3 Dec 1997 06:43:02 -0600 Message-Id: <348553E6.41C6@eng.canadair.ca> Date: Wed, 03 Dec 1997 07:43:18 -0500 From: Elvio Prattico Organization: Bombardier Inc.

I just bought Netscape Enterprise server 3.0 which supports "native" byte-serving. Unfortunately, if you turn on web publishing - the PDF file serving fails randomly with the Adobe Acrobat plugin. I've tried it with Netscape 3.x and 4.x .All you get is a blank plugin. So if you're thinking about serving PDF files on the web, then take into consideration that your users may not be able to get the files they want if they use a plugin. It appears as though the problem does not exist if you use a reader but you cannot guarantee your users use the reader. To make matters worse: if I turn off web publishing, I also lose the search engine capability. So I buy an expensive web server and half the "features" don't work. Maybe we should stick to NCSA and Apache?

My problems with Distiller reside mainly with the fact that I cannot run the Distiller Assistant. And this has a lot to do with the fact that I have called Adobe THREE times in an attempt to get my 3.01 update, to no avail. Each time, they say it will be sent, and each time, it is not. So, I'm still running 3.0...*sigh*...my patience with Adobe is wearing thin, to say the least... I'm not bound and determined to do anything at this point; I'm merely asking questions in an attempt to decide "what's right" before starting off on a large scale project like this. The input that I receive from you and other list members helps a great deal, especially in areas where I have little or no expertise.

Hi Adam, Go to www.adobe.com and read all about it. You need to find the server and the CGI to match (sorta). You need to then mess with the URL to call the file, generally: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/byteserver.pl/PATHWAY/TO/YOUR.PDF The byteserver.pl is one key. Note, the capial letters is another key. BTW, has this been fixed for most of you now? With early stages PDFs, the pathway and the filename all needed to be Capital letters on my set-up. ??

OK, for a lot of these new features and options in Acrobat 3.x, a specific pdfmark is not implemented. Adobe gave us the PUT pdfmark operator instead, which is a much more general and powerful tool. You can read about it in the pdfmark manual--you probably skipped it (like I did) at first glance because it is a little arcane. What you want to do can be accomplished with the following code, which inserts the required field and associated key-value pair directly into the Catalog dictionary. It won't just approximate the operarion in Exchange; it will produce the exact same result: [ {Catalog} << /ViewerPreferences << /FitWindow true >> >> /PUT pdfmark You'll find this general tool very handy for all those cases where you can see in the PDF file what you want, but there is no native pdfmark way to get it. Just PUT it right in there.

You can still use CGI-bin, and have a mixture of native and CGI references: http://www.quite.com/cgi/document/acrobat/samples/advent97.pdf and http://www.quite.com/acrobat/samples/advent97.pdf both get the same file, via byteserving, which as it happens is deliberately not optimized. It's better to use native if you can. It may be quicker, and more secure. No, I won't post details of security loopholes, but modifying the script to check the file name ends *.pdf is a good thing. I believe I added: if ((! -r $file) || (length $file <= 3) || ( index($file,".pdf") != ( length ($file) - 4 ) ) ) { &badjob("file $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} not found"); } just before if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} ne 'GET') Any CGI script is a potential security loophole, many of them very subtle. It's best to avoid them completely, EVEN IF you know what you're doing...

You have to use Exchange's Insert Pages feature to insert a document/page that contains the bookmarks. You then delete the document/page you just inserted. The bookmarks remain. Paul Franklink Stregevsky posted a detailed description of the process awhile back. I can send you the posting privately if you are interested. HTH, Ron ---------- From: Antell, Lisa To: '' Subject: [PDF] Displaying Menu Bookmarks Date: Tuesday, December 02, 1997 4:01PM We are using Exchange 3.01 to produce an electronic version of our price catalog. Our source documents are created with MSWord 7.0 (Windows 95). We have a menu file with bookmarks to several other product-specific files. Our users complain about not having access to the menu bookmarks while the product files are open, and having to "click" back so many views to return to the menu. Anyone know of a way to display the menu bookmarks while a separate product file is open? (I'd rather not have to re-create the bookmarks in all 87 files.) Or, is there an easy way to allow users to return to the menu in one step?

(around 200 files in PDF) from Director, I call Acrobat .this work well. from Acrobat, I return to Director. If I use a link with "open a file Directorxx.exe" each time a new Diretor file is open. So it's not good idee If I use a link with "execute command file File_>close" it's working ...but each time acrobat close. So, when I call acrobat again, I have to process trough open acrobat and then the requested file. My Idee is : execute a command to simulate the combination key alt - Tab In this case, the system only shift the window betwen Director and Acrobat. In order to do that. in standard acrobat, as far as I know, there is no tools. In C++, maybe. and if I want to have the same fonctionality in PC and Mac, how can manage ?

You cannot extend the list. It isn't an arbitrary list - these fonts are "special" in PDF and always built-in without any need for embedding, metrics, etc. It may happen in future releases, but right now it isn't possible.

We need the PS for a print on demand application. Does anyone know if there is a product, commercial or otherwise, which converts PDF to Postscript? I guess it would pretty much be the opposite of Distiller. We need to run on a Win NT 4 platform. Separately - does anyone have a pointer to a simple utility for NT which implements a "watched directory" function, invoking a conversion utility via a command line interface? I'm sure that this could be written easily, and has been written many many times. Thanks.

Try using the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) -- download it free from MS -- using the command line (CScript.exe) option. A simple loop, with a delay timer to check for the existence of a file in the watched folder, should do the trick.

Does anyone know if there is a way to extract the metadata (aka Document Information) from a PDF file, other than viewing it via the GUI interface of Acrobat Exchange/Reader? It would seem like duplication of effort if a PDF file is supplied with this metadata included, but I then have to request an additional metadata file so that I know (or rather a machine knows) what the PDF file contains. And is there any way to add this metadata to a PDF file without manually typing it in via Exchange? As a side issue, if Acrobat Reader is installed as a plug-in to a web browser, it doesn't seem to be possible to view this Document Information at all. Thanks for any help.

This came up because I was trying to proof a page with the client's signature in black over a photo. Because it didn't work, on my Mac I tried a test with seven types of TIFF and EPS files (mostly 1-bit, but including clipping paths, and Transparent Whites). In all cases the PDF showed white boxes. The PDF was made with PSPrinter set to Virtual Printer, Distiller and configured so that Distiller launched in the background and then the PDF came up in Exchange. BTW, a majority of the 7 test files printed correctly using my HP postscript laser and also using Birmy PowerRIP 4.1. Another PDF question: I did another test using 33-step "gradients" for both CMYK and RGB colors. On screen, the results were very good. But in printing to my Epson SC800 inkjet, the lightest tones (approx values of12% or less) went to white, and the near lightest tones showed obvious color shifts, e.g., green going to yellow. I know from Photoshop and Quark that the Epson serial driver can easily handle tones as light as 3%. I'm wondering if there's anything to be done to adjust printing the PDF. Since I get the digest, you may choose to write direct.

I may have missed an option, but I didnt know of any way to get Distiller to launch Exchange after Distilling. On the other hand, it's very easy to ask PDFWriter to do this. That does make me wonder if you really are using Distiller, since PDFWriter will definitely get this effect. Probably not, but it's worth mentioning. Have you tried printing to a PS file, downloading that file to the printer to check it's ok, then distilling that same PS file manually to compare?

Open a window on screen (the Distiller Application For example) and put its image into the clipboard (Alt - Print Scrn). 2. Open your Word Processor (tested with Word 7a, WP6.1 and WP 5.2), Paste your clipboard picture into a new blank document (Ctrl - V) and create a new PDF file with this new document (using either the Distiller, or the PDFWriter - configuration: see below). 3. Create a new PDF file with this page 4. Open your new PDF file with Exchange or Reader 3.01 an print it on your HP 5 printer (drivers & configuration: see below). 5. Do the same using Exchange 3.0 or Reader 3.0 6. Compare your printouts: all the version 3.01 printouts looks as they were printed at 150 dpi or less; particularly if the files were created using Word 7 and WP 6.1 (for the PDF files created with WP5.2, the phenomenon is less important). This problem seems to be linked to the way the picture was embedded into the PDF document: 1. Open Word 7a or Word 8, create a new document, insert the nice 'Acrobat3\exchange\import\sample\flyer.tif' picture into it (Insert->Picture menu topic) and create a new PDF file with this new document (using either the Distiller, or the PDFWriter - configuration: see below). The created PDF files do have nearly the same size (about 235KBytes). 4. Open your new PDF file with Exchange or Reader 3.01 an print it on your HP 5 printer (drivers & configuration: see above). The spool size of the PDF file created with the Distiller is about 100 KBytes; the one of the file created with the PDFWRiter is about 270Kbytes. The two PDF files looks the same on screen at Zoom 800x. 5. Do the same using Exchange 3.0 or Reader 3.0. The spool size of the two files is about 270 KBytes. 6. Compare your printouts. This time, only the PDF file created using the Distiller and printed under version 3.01 is downsampled to 150 dpi on paper. 7. The problem does not appear if the picture is directly imported using the Import->Image menu topic of Exchange. Our office printers are PCL HP 4 and 5 printers and the above reported problems occurs for all the possible drivers configurations (also for the configuration detailed below). Applications and drivers configuration: 0. Windows 95 PCs (Pentium 166 - 32 MB RAM). 1. Use ATM 3.02 2. PostScript Driver (to create PS files to be distilled).

The PS file downloaded to my HP LJ 4MP is indeed OK. I manually distilled the PS file, this time deselecting all compression options in Distiller, but the result is the same. All the None-filled boxes have turned white. Thanks for thinking about this. BTW, are you treating this as a problem on my system? Rather than as a Acrobat glitch?

We need to run on a Win NT 4 platform. Crackerjack also performs this function. Even though it drives desktop printers, it is probably most valuable for its ability to control separations and screening for imagesetters and other professional grade devices. Crackerjack is currently available on a Mac. The Windows version will be available in January. You can download the Mac demo (full version that includes the word "demo" on the printouts) from our web site, www.lantanarips.com.

I have performed the following tests on a small (2 page) PDF document. The PDF file was obtained via Acrobat Distiller (vers. 3.0.000). I then printed (from Adobe Reader) the same document on: * HP DJ 820Cxi * HP LaserJet 4 (with Postscript enhancements) The printout on the HP LaserJet 4 looks correct -- as it should. The printout on the HP DJ 820Cxi differs -- several missing characters (quite obvious). I can provide the following files to those who would like to help by performing similar tests: VPSTST1.TEX ( 10KB) VPSTST1.DVI ( 6KB) VPSTST1.PS (165KB) VPSTST1.PDF ( 48KB) I can place these files in a public FTP directory for FTP transfer to your own system or I can attach those you would like to an email message. For completeness I am including the following additional information. The latest driver (vers. 8.2 - 820) for the HP DJ 820Cxi printer which was released 01-Aug-1996 can be downloaded from http://hpcc923.external.hp.com/cposupport/indexes1/dj820cxs.html This file (DJ369en.exe) is 2027 KB in size. To look around further at what HP has to offer at their home page, point your browser to http://www.hp.com/ Perhaps there are others that have experienced similar problems and hopefully this could be useful in arriving at a solution or possible workarounds.

Otherwise, Distiller Assistant will always place the output in the root of the OS' System disk (i.e., the same disk where \DISTASST.PS is created). The inability to change the default location of the \DISTASST.PS file has been a shortcoming of this product for several years now. Adobe really should fix it because: 1. Hard-coded anything is usually due to lazy programming; 2. It's a serious security problem: In general, people/programs should be prohibited from altering the root directory of the System disk; 3. PS files can be huge, and these large files may cause serious problems if they use up all available space on the System disk, where space for other transient files (e.g. files in \TEMP) is usually needed.

To avoid this problem, do all your Compose processing locally, not via a "connected" drive designation -- even if it's a "local" network drive.

I read with interst your mail. calling Acrobat from director is working well. it's OK. my problem is . I i'm in Director. I call a specific file in Acrobat. So, the acrobat Window display first, and then the director Window stay behind the acrobat window. when I want to come back to the exact Director location, I tried two ways. 1 - I Acrobat , I use the command File - close ==> the acrobat windows desapears, then the director windows come first. this way is very heavy, because each time I call acrobat again, I have to go trough the process "open acrobat" 2 - on the keyboard, I press this way is very eleguant and fast, because i justed switch the acrobat windows by the Director windows. my problem is : how can I simulate this command in Acrobat.

On Unix, you have to use the plug-in API to do anything. There is no equivalent of OLE/Applescript, at least not so far as I can work out, and certainly not that Adobe have implemented. It's all in the SDK, on the appropriate platform's 3.01 CDROM. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9-Dec-1997 15:36:40-GMT,3067;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA26606 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 08:36:39 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA14499; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 09:31:21 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 9 Dec 1997 09:28:46 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA14391; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 09:28:45 -0600 X-Lotus-FromDomain: METLIFE@METLIFENET From: "Elissa Sampson" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Message-ID: <85256568.0053F28C.00@MetGwy02.metlife.com> Date: Tue, 9 Dec 1997 10:29:47 -0500 Subject: RE: [PDF] Current Version of PDFWriter 3.03?

Since most corporations do not allow users admin access to their PC's, I can't understand Adobe's reasoning in this regard. Perhaps as Aandi suggests this is a BUG and either will be fixed or is fixed in PDFWriter 3.03 which is definitely not included on any of the 3.01 CD's I've received from Adobe. Would someone from Adobe care to comment on this? I found the files; note the plural. __pdf.ini D:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 __pdf.ini D:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2 The first files contents are: [Acrobat PDFWriter] The second file actually seems to have settings in it, also presumably undocumented? So should I make both writeable? Right now the attributes on both files are set to Archive. Disclaimer: The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of MetLife.

An Alt+TAB sort of button would be wonderful. This application runs on laptops with Win'95 but was developed on a MAC. The only thing I've come up so far is to have the Acrobat window not be quite full size; the Director window is full size and at the bottom of the Director window, I have a message saying "Click Here to Return to XXXX". In other words, the bottom pane of the Director window still displays when calling up Acrobat from Director. This way, I'm not killing Acrobat each time someone shifts between the two programs. I've seen some sites that have MacroMedia XTRAS ( plug-ins) for Acrobat but I haven't worked with any and would be curious to see if anyone else has. h.lagente@intersigne.fr on 12/09/97 03:11:55 AM Please respond to pdf@lists.pdfzone.com To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com cc: (bcc: Elissa Sampson/Bsg/MetLife/US) Subject: Re: [PDF] link between acrobat and director At 09:18 23/11/97 -0500, you wrote: > >You might want to take a look at an old post of mine titled "Re: [pdf-l] >- Macromedia director calling Acrobat" in response to a similar question >earlier this year which is in the PDF archive at >http://econwpa.wustl.edu:80/~pdfl/1997.May.Jun/author.html > >Good Luck > >Chris Lane >Computer Multimedia Productions Corp. thank you for your advice. I read with interst your mail. calling Acrobat from director is working well. it's OK. my problem is . I i'm in Director. I call a specific file in Acrobat. So, the acrobat Window display first, and then the director Window stay behind the acrobat window. when I want to come back to the exact Director location, I tried two ways. 1 - I Acrobat , I use the command File - close ==> the acrobat windows desapears, then the director windows come first. this way is very heavy, because each time I call acrobat again, I have to go trough the process "open acrobat" 2 - on the keyboard, I press this way is very eleguant and fast, because i justed switch the acrobat windows by the Director windows. my problem is : how can I simulate this command in Acrobat.

There is documentation of sorts in the PDFWriter control interface specification, which is included in the Acrobat 3.01 SDK, on the CDROM. This shows the hazards of trying to be user friendly!

If Distiller completed the interpretation OK without error, the pdf is probably fine, and if processed on a high-end RIP (with pdf capability), it would probably RIP fine. The problem as I've come to understand it from exchanging email and test files with Adobe tech support is that Exchange just can't render these files to screen (and most likely won't print them). Exchange is really not optimized for prepress use due to the need to support low rez/web use and 16 bit OSs. I've argued for months now that Exchange/Distiller should be Adobe's most robust postscript apps. It's silly that Exchange chokes on a file that Illustrator handles with ease. Do I dare beat the drums again for a separate, prepress version of Acrobat?

John, I too have encountered the same problem with Illustrator files of detailed color maps up to 11-1/2" x 27" in size with hundreds of color layers. Printing to distiller with a postscript driver seems to always give the kind of error you describe when opening the resulting pdf. However, Illustrator files are really device independent postscript files. So my solution has been to just drop the Illustrator file into a watched distiller folder and the resulting pdf is usually spectacular. Try it on your file. ---------- David M.

To make it less complex you can choose "split long paths" in "document format" in the "File"-menu i Illustrator, and then save a COPY of the file (this is importet if you want to "save" the riginal". Remember to set split long paths off again. The complex path are now split into several parts. (I have a norwegian Illustrator so I am not sure if the names of the menuchoices are exact, but I believe you understand. You can also send me the file and I'll send it through PROscript who can give more exact error messages.

We are considering buying this product to assist us in publishing PDF documents on CD. It appears to fit the bill for what we want to do exactly but, we are having enormous trouble getting a price or any other form of communication from Camino. Is the product good? Is there another product on the market that is just as good? I know that Camino has split into two and that a new company, Arsin, is now selling the PDF Publisher. Can anyone give me any details as to whether this is a good company to get into business with? I have literally begged the company to send me prices because we want to buy the product and have had no response whatsoever. Any information will be of help. Thanks in advance.

What I eventually found was that the bitmap graphic had to be displayed at the correct zoom factor in order to avoid distortion. Simply relying on 'Fit Width' etc. wasn't enough. You need to find the zoom factor empirically. In terms of capturing screenshots wmf or gif seems to work, as does pict on the Mac. In the end I modified my Word template to allow a specific zoom to be used for any links to graphics (supposing that Fit Width is OK for reading the flow of the document). ============================================================== Buckden, < www.nplum.demon.co.uk/temptin.htm > Huntingdon, for information management & Adobe Cambs.

Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 I am pleased to announce pdf-prepress-l. Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d. Thank you. I will send this announcement to pdf-l once a week to let newcomers know of this development. -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 10-Dec-1997 15:28:37-GMT,2822;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA27719 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 08:28:36 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA32302; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 09:25:18 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Dec 1997 09:23:20 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA32129; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 09:23:17 -0600 X-Lotus-FromDomain: METLIFE@METLIFENET From: "Elissa Sampson" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Message-ID: <85256569.00549CAD.00@MetGwy02.metlife.com> Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 10:26:20 -0500 Subject: Re: [PDF] PDFwriter for NT v3.03 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 From: Elissa Sampson@METLIFE on 12/10/97 10:26 AM Do you have the same problem with PDFWriter 3.02 under NT?

These would be squares of different colors. What I would like is to write an action in the PDF that will resize those squares based on the value of a form field. The intended operation would be to have a nicely formatted page that could receive data for a fixed number of bars in a bar graph via an FDF form submission (and FDF data return). We are currently filling text and normal form fields this way. Please note that I am trying to do this purely in PDF. It has been a while since I have used the data format, but I believe that this type of function should be possible as an action. It seems it could be done with either a normal graphic object, or a form button. The page action would be to submit the form (and therefore receive FDF in return).

I have worked with the product and used it for prototyping a couple of projects. But we have not bought a license yet. The product is great for CD-ROM distribution. Putting together a a group of PDFs does require a bit of knowledge of Visual Basic and is not for the casual user. Camnio Publishing split because of the death of one of the founders. Its PDF publishing business was sold and the other partner, who was the software developer is the owner of Arsin. This change just occured in the last few months and I am sure that there are some organizational issues at play. The company Arsin has been in business for over 15 years in software development and consulting. I am sure that their reluctance to sell Publisher at the moment is based upon uncertainty of their ability to support it. The last time I was quoted for Publisher it was $2,000. To date their software sales have been limited. The product enhances the Acrobat Search Engine capabilities, giving the user extensive search tools across a wide range of PDFs. But since so much of PDF development has gone to the internet, and because Publisher does not currently support web search engines, there has ot been a great deal of interest in their product. I have encouraged them to develop web capabilites, but they have been short of the capital funds to do so. I think that some of the pricipals still monitor this list and I hope that they would give us all some input. ---------- David M.

In the Win 3.1 environment Adobe Acrobat (V3.0) worked fine. Now I cannot get Acrobat Catalog to work properly. When building an index, no matter what directory is specified, the application overrides it and defaults to "C:\CTMAGENT\SYSTEM32". No PDF files are located in this directory and no index is created. I have tried un-installing and re-installing the application. Has anyone else experience these problems? Is there a file with some type of pointer I could change? Would the 3.01 upgrade solve this problem?

I will say that if one can avoid using TrueType altogether, distilling, displaying and printing type problems are dimminished significantly..as I have no expereience with how VE-Proms creates table rules, it is hard to say if it is a bad implimentation of making rules by VE-Proms, or Distiller messing up..frankly, my guess is the VE Proms is not creating proper PostScript...I make tables all the time in Illustrator and Excel and import them into Word & Quark, Print to disk, and the resulting PDF files display and print as expected. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 10-Dec-1997 21:47:36-GMT,8119;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA07001 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 14:47:34 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA14662; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 15:42:38 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Dec 1997 15:40:19 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA14558; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 15:40:17 -0600 Message-ID: <01BD05B4.6B91A080@rockhse2.docctrl.com> From: David Cornwell To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] PDFwriter for NT v3.03 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 16:12:21 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BD05B4.6B9941A0" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD05B4.6B9941A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I understand that PDFwriter 3.02 for NT exhibits the same problem!!! drc --- David Cornwell, Sales Director Computerised Document Control Ltd PO Box 5, Chepstow, Monmouthshire, NP6 6YU United Kingdom Tel: + 44 (0) 1291 641715 (direct); USA: 1-888-240-1752 Fax: + 44 (0) 1291 641 817 Document Systems Specialists www.docctrl.com -----Original Message----- From: Elissa Sampson [SMTP:esampson@metlife.com] Sent: 10 December 1997 15:26 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] PDFwriter for NT v3.03 From: Elissa Sampson@METLIFE on 12/10/97 10:26 AM Do you have the same problem with PDFWriter 3.02 under NT?

John, Seems like your getting a lot of response this time around. We see this problem quite a bit as well and have tried several of the solutions described by other posts but on occasion find that we have to change the offending vector graphic to a raster image to get it to work (as distasteful as it may be).

As is PhotoShop, representing Duotones in a properly in composite mode is a known problem in PostScript, and you are simply experiencing this. When you make plates (color separations) this problem goes away, but of course, this is not what you are trying to achieve. My understanding of the problem is that both Quark and PhotoShop trying to apply two colors to a single tiff via transfer functions, and this workflow assumes that we are making color separations, that is, the Quark application send the tiff file two times (once for each plate) and then applyies different transfer functions to that image...the problem in composite mode is that it applies the first, and ignores the secound. Work around? It is ugly. Save the tiff as either a colorized RGB or CMYK image and reimport into Quark. Until Adobe and Quark address properly representing two or more spot color image files, I guess we are stuck. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 10-Dec-1997 23:46:44-GMT,4582;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA09808 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 16:46:43 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA20528; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 17:42:36 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Dec 1997 17:39:54 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA20392; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 17:39:53 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19971210125854.006911d4@istar.ca> X-Sender: ltm@istar.ca (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 12:59:02 -0800 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com, framers@FrameUsers.com From: Lindsey Thomas Martin Subject: [PDF] FrameMaker/TrueType/pdf/links Cc: eadie@rocketmail.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 To: PDF list; framers list Dear Colleagues, Background: Document created in Framemaker 5.1.2P1d on PC running Windows95. One TrueType typeface: Bitstream's Iowan Old Style and Iowan Old Style Black; 6 fonts). Document proofed on HP LaserJet 6P with PostScript board installed using LaserJet 6P/6MP Enhanced driver. Reference to earlier discussion: Michael Maffie wrote, in part, in message "RE: PDF in Frame 5.5 - Longish (resent)" to the framers list: >Acrobat does not work well with TrueType at all. For example, in >many cases passages in TrueType fonts will not be searchable. Through >days of heartbreak and anguish, I finally resolved that the only >way to deal with this is to avoid using TrueType ENTIRELY in >documents intended for PDF. Problem(A) (1) When I switch to Acrobat Distiller 3.0 driver to print the FrameMaker document to file, I get a message saying: "The font information for your system has changed ... to reformat [doc], click OK." This, I thought at first, was FrameMaker's usual fussy behaviour about fonts in documents. (2) In Exchange, when I try to use Touch-up, I get the message: "A subset of this font is embedded in the document but is not installed on your system. You cannot edit text in this font." This, in the same session with the same machine and configuration that created both the original document, printed the PS file and distilled the PDF file. (3) When I download the PDF files of the document from the NT server (off-site) to my Mac at home (using Netscape 3.? and Acrobat Reader 3.0), with rotated text I get the message "Unable to find or create the font 'FAHJAI+MSTT31c4e500'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." And, indeed, they do not but appear rather as fuzzy black dots. What is puzzling is that this message has appeared with other text in the same documents both on the Mac and on the PC that created the original document but has since disappeared and the characters now display correctly. Problem B I created links in Exchange from a file displaying only the table of contents to the files for each chapter in the book. They work fine on the PC on which they were created when the files are in a local directory. When I download the PDF file to my Mac at home, the links also work as they should. But when I download the file to the orginal PC from the NT server, some days the links work, some days they don't. All filenames adhere to the DOS 8.3 naming convention. The link to the table of contents file is at http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/971201.htm#Top A download page with separate links to each chapter is at http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/Downloads.htm The file to see for Problem B(3) is '03Pock.pdf' Problem C (not related to FrameMaker or PDF) Is there any way to stop this execrable Windows95 from resetting the windows to icon-view?

Within this document there are tables, and these tables were created using text characters from a TrueType font, VolianDraw (part of the VE-Proms software package). When I use PDFWriter to make a PDF file from this document, the vertical and horizontal table lines are there, but the spacing between the lines is thrown off somewhat. When I output the document to Distiller (using an HP 5siMX, the spacing between characters is correct, but I cannot see the vertical lines at all.

We did get 2 answers. I know how to create the Postscript files via Acrobat Reader. However, I want to automate this process. Perhaps using a "watched directory" concept. Any ideas? I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you. Ray ---------- From: Love,Tom To: pdf@lists.emrg.com Cc: Shafer,Ray Subject: Conversion of PDF to Postscript Date: Thursday, December 04, 1997 4:09PM Sorry if this is a FAQ - but -- we're dealing with a document management product which can emit PDF versions of digital documents, but apparently cannot emit Postscript renditions. We need the PS for a print on demand application. Does anyone know if there is a product, commercial or otherwise, which converts PDF to Postscript? I guess it would pretty much be the opposite of Distiller. We need to run on a Win NT 4 platform. Separately - does anyone have a pointer to a simple utility for NT which implements a "watched directory" function, invoking a conversion utility via a command line interface? I'm sure that this could be written easily, and has been written many many times. Thanks.

For that's in my knowledge notes can be moved even if protection disabled the right to add and/or delete them. This is not a very well done thing, as in most pre-print environment, where Acrobat files are widely used for proofs and annotations serve as tool for communicating, the position of a note is determinant and it should be forced if the author needed. So the only way to do that is by means of plug-ins that could create custom annotation styles in which the "move" property could be forbidden or pwd protected. You can look at Ambia's "Remark" product that does something similar, or wait for Datanet next development that will be a plug-in that enforces protection over standard annotations plus these nice features: - you'd be also able to deny an unauthorized user to see note contents - you could print pages and chose to print an icon stating the note position Greetings, Andrea Valle Datanet Srl +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 11-Dec-1997 17:42:43-GMT,3381;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA02247 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:42:41 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA22556; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 11:25:56 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 11 Dec 1997 11:23:03 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA22364; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 11:23:01 -0600 From: Nic Plum To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com, "'PDF mailing list - technical'" MMDF-Warning: Parse error in original version of preceding line at post.mail.demon.net Subject: Re: [PDF] Jdoc vs PDF Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 17:14:20 -0800 Message-ID: <01bd069b$4674d000$1f40dec2@nplum.demon.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 Many months ago I had the opportunity to try "Net It Now" and it did produce impressive results even from Word 6 documents (which it wasn't designed for). There has since been an enterprise server version which does have significant advantages where one is concerned with the re-issue of documentation.

We have this problem fairly frequently and it is almost always non-repeatable. (We get the fuzzy dots at a random place and then can't get it to happen again.) We brought up this issue in this list about a month ago and someone from Adobe did look into it -- their "solution" was to upgrade to Acrobat 3.01. (Our PDF files were created on a Mac using FrameMaker 5.1.1 and Acrobat 3.0; we are now in the process of switching to Frame 5.5/Acrobat 3.01 on Windows 95, so *maybe* that will do the trick.) Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution, or even know what causes it? We get the problem when the PDF files are on local drives, a network drive, or a CD-ROM. Thanks for your help.

The data to be filed comes from a DOS data base and can be exported as an ASCII (anything-delimited) file. Would the above be possible and how? The above is possible in Word, however we would prefer pdf as it is more "universal" and we do not need to develop every form in Word. Further, some of our forms come originally as pdf.

No PDF file produced. ] %% The post-script file starts like this... %-12345X@PJL JOB @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT M%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Title: FLMANUAL.PDF %%BoundingBox: 12 12 600 780 %%CreationDate: 12/12/97 12:08:21 .... The solution is obviously using another print driver, but why are the @PJL lines appearing, and why do they cause the printing to fail with this specific PDF file and not other PDF files (they are there too)?

Once a particular user has selected a compatibility level (distill for 3.0, 2.1, or don't care), the Distiller writes an AcrobatDistiller config file in the user's home directory and thereafter that user can run the script without interruption. The problem is that a variety of different people could be running this shell script as part of a larger automated process, so it's unacceptable for the script to be interrupted when the Distiller can't find an AcrobatDistiller file. Adobe documents a couple of solutions that don't seem to work at all. The first is the -compatlevel invocation switch, which accepts a version number as an argument. Thus, you would assume the following command line would do the trick: $ distill -compatlevel 3.0 test.ps But no, the Distiller does not proceed until you have responded to the warning message. The second solution is to add the following statement: << /CompatLevel 3.0 >> setdistillerparams to the Distiller's startup file in .../Acrobat3/Distillr/Startup/Example.ps The statement is legal syntax but has no effect. Can anyone help? ---------------------------------------------------- Jon White, jonw@synopsys.com Manager, LMG Tech Pubs Synopsys Logic Modeling +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 13-Dec-1997 1:21:30-GMT,3815;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA13052 for ; Fri, 12 Dec 1997 18:21:29 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA19409; Fri, 12 Dec 1997 18:49:32 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 12 Dec 1997 18:45:20 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA19236; Fri, 12 Dec 1997 18:45:18 -0600 Message-ID: <01BD0760.859F33E0.quite@dial.pipex.com> From: Aandi Inston To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] PDF Printing error...

After many different approaches, I now resubmitted a postcript file that was created exactly like the original first manuscript. It still looks like the resolution is not as good as the first submission. Note that submission number S_12 is the same as submission number S_1, however, S_12.pdf does not look as good as S_1.pdf. Since in both cases I uploaded the same file, you must have changed something in your system, which leads to the decrease in quality. I noticed that the document that I got back from you after the first submission was a 1.7MB Acrobat Reader file, while the S_12.pdf file comes as an 400k text document. I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem? Let me know what you think. <<<<<<<<<<<< The color on screen is much worse, and the resolution on screen is about 1/4 as good as it was before. If this is caused by a setting in Acrobat 3.01, is there a way to reset the quality of the distilled figures to a higher value? Sincerely, -- Frank E.

The files were cataloged and indexed with version 3.01 of Acrobat. Due to reasons beyond my control, I need to do the search with Acrobat version 2.1 Reader with Search. Here's what happens when I search for "heart". I get an error message that states: "An internal error has occured and the results cannot be retrieved. The index may be damaged. Sorry." It does not seem to happen with other words, just with "heart". My search results preferences has been set to list 1,000 instances (there are only 171 articles). The search for "heart" does work when either the "thesaurus" option or the "match case" option is checked with any of the other available buttons. It does not work when nothing is checked, or "word stemming", "sounds like", or "proximity" is checked alone. I have no idea what is going on. I have tried re-creating the index from scratch. Working with version 3.01 reader with search does work, but like I said, this is not really an option for me at this time. Any suggestions? +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 15-Dec-1997 21:45:26-GMT,1445;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA01893 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 14:45:22 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA24067; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 15:40:46 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 15 Dec 1997 15:39:06 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA23961; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 15:39:04 -0600 Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 08:40:51 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <199712152140.IAA19721@magna.com.au> X-Sender: larke@magna.com.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Annette Larke Subject: [PDF] Acrobat 3.1 upgrade Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 It seems that the Acrobat 3.1 upgrade has shipped to the US.

You may be seeing an improved effectiveness in subsampling. Before 3.0, resolution would only be reduced by integral numbers (perhaps powers of two, I can't remember). What that really means is, suppose your graphics had an effective resolution of 140 dpi, and you were set to subsample to 72 dpi. Before, nothing would happen, because the only resolution possible would be 70 dpi or less. Now, you will get exactly 72 dpi. That may account for the differrence here. JPEG compression should be identical. ZIP compression is slightly better than LZW but neither is lossy, so cannot affect quality. Try switching subsampling off completely, and use ZIP compression. Your PDF file is now a 100% representation of your PostScript file. Looks OK? Switch to JPEG. Still OK? Now try subsampling.

I get an > error message that states: "An internal error has occured and the results > cannot be retrieved. The index may be damaged. Sorry." Oh, boy, I sure know about this one. This is a documented bug in the Acrobat Search software itself, but it *can* be worked around. When two or more documents in an index have the first 63* characters in common, and those documents are returned in the search results list, this error message will appear on Macintosh and UNIX. On Windows 95 (according to my experience), only one of the documents will appear in the search results list. Therefore, if you have any documents with the first 63* characters in common, you may experience this problem. It doesn't have anything to do with the word "heart", other than that in your document set, that is likely to produce a very large search results list, and increase the likelihood that the problem will be manifested. Note that this is a potential problem for *any* user of Catalog! You can work around this problem by actually changing the titles of the documents (in the Document Info fields). In my case, I found that documents with that many characters in the title in common were typically multi-part reports, i.e., Part I, Part II, Part III, etc. In this case, I put a prefix of the part number on the title, like this: Studies of Arrythmia ... Dietary Methods, Part I was changed to (I) Studies of Arrythmia ... Dietary Methods, Part I Any scheme like this will work, so long as it guarantees the uniqueness of the first 63* characters of the title. I'm not sure if this is an Adobe or Verity problem, but since it is known, it would be great to have a fix. I usually use Perl to compare the title fields of my documents to make sure this problem would not affect me. The last project had 4,000 titles, which wasted a fair amount of my time. Cory Snavely The Beacon Group * I think it is 63 characters--it is certainly no more than that. To be safe, you could assume 60. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 17-Dec-1997 22:03:42-GMT,1638;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA10264 for ; Wed, 17 Dec 1997 15:03:36 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA14662; Wed, 17 Dec 1997 15:54:31 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 17 Dec 1997 15:49:52 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA14387; Wed, 17 Dec 1997 15:49:50 -0600 X-Sender: tim-jl@tim.se (Unverified) Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <3.0.2.32.19950810102153.006e56b4@notes.ctl.com.cy> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 17 Dec 1997 22:58:48 +0200 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Johan Leide Subject: [PDF] TrueType fonts discussion Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 Earlier this autumn there was a long discussion on how to handle TruType fonts in NT (3/4) and Win95 Does anyone have all or some of the mail stored I would very much appreciate a forwarded copy!

HP 4 Post-Script Printer I have a PDF file created by the PDFWriter 2.01 for Windows that fails to print on a particular PC (PC001) to a HP 4 printer with Post-script. The file prints from other PC's. But, the interesting thing is that other PDF files print successfully from this pc (PC001). I changed the PSCRIPT.DRV on this PC to match a PC where it works. No effect. I can print the pdf to file and run through the distiller and the resulting PDF then prints fine. I've narrowed it down to a conflict between the print driver and this particular PDF file. The user is using the hp 4/4m Plus ps driver. The post-script error page prints out as follows: Error: undefined Offending Command: Adobe_Win_Driver_Incr Stack: Using this same driver to print to a ps file, the Distiller errors out with the following: %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: @PJL ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error.

This > is in view of CD-ROM publishing. Acrobat has the capability to associate a search index with a PDF file. When the PDF file is opened, the search index is added to the index list. You can make this association in Exchange with File -> Document Info -> Index. I think most people use this feature by having a starting page that a user always opens when they begin to use the product. Search indexes loaded in this way are active only for the current run of Acrobat Reader. Those who distribute on UNIX should be aware, though, that the settings are made *permanently* (at least on Solaris 1.x and 2.x), and alert users accordingly, as subsequent runs of the Acrobat Reader will generate errors if the CD is not available on the system at the same mount point.

You can't. The PDF will contain whatever images you started with, and, if you select "preseve OPI comments" then (compatible) PDF comments will be preserved. When you print, the low resolution images AND comments will be written to the PostScript file. If you want high resolution images in the PDF, you will need to put the PostScript through an expansion process before Distilling (most OPIs should offer an expansion tool).

You usually get low res images to place them within an application mentioned above. When you print PostScript to a file, OPI comments and previews of the images are send with the PostScript print file, that can be distilled to PDF with "preserve OPI comments" enabled. When you now print from Exchange via the OPI server, service bureau, eg. to a PostScript device, the low res images are replaced by the OPI server to the high res equivalents.

My take on Adobe's docs was that the Perl scripting they refer to as a solution for NCSA HTTPd server includes the ability to specifically request a page or range or pages; as defined in the 'byterange' header. We produce 4-6 editions a year of a 64-page, four-color catalog. I started converting the original EPS editions to PDF earlier this year, mainly for internal and CD-ROM use. The resulting PDF's weigh-in at about 11-meg with indexes (not bad from a 1.9 gig source). Visitors to our web site consistently ask for an on-line version of the catalogs, and I'm looking at ways of providing the PDF files as an interim solution. I don't want to offer them an 11-meg download, and I don't want to split the catalogs into individual web-servable pages or chapters. The 'niftyiest' solution would be to put the PDF on the web server and permit the user to select specific pages of the catalog pertaining to the products they are interested in; either through specifically assigned links or some minor CGI<->dB trickery. I read Adobe's docs on byteserving and came away a little confused. So my (revised) question is: I would like to byteserve specific portions or page(s) within a PDF without having to send the entire file. Is this possible? Assuming that you can define a "from - to" range of bytes to serve from a PDF file, how does one calculate the byte range needed to call a specific page or pages from the source PDF? Have I misunderstood the application of the byteserving capability? I guess my holiday-challenged grey matter made a poor attempt in the first asking of the question. Please be patient with me; I have 7 kids expecting Xmas and about 60 pages expecting to on a web press at about the same time. Both are taking a toll on my (normally fleeting) sanity :) At 10:01 PM 12/18/97 +0000, Mark Rauterkus wrote: >>What? >>Come again in much more detail as to exactly what you want to do. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 19-Dec-1997 8:17:26-GMT,4259;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA24253 for ; Fri, 19 Dec 1997 01:17:25 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA06235; Fri, 19 Dec 1997 02:11:09 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 19 Dec 1997 02:08:22 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA06130; Fri, 19 Dec 1997 02:08:20 -0600 Message-Id: <199712190810.JAA00367@drno.prac.cs.utwente.nl> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Arnoud Jippes" Organization: University of Twente To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 09:16:57 +0000 Subject: [PDF] ?named destinations script for multiple files X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.54) Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 We use a script to create a named destination for each page in a PDF file (Page1, Page2...) with Distiller.

No problem. Use the named destination script I just re-published in my recent question to the list. Distill your file with the script installed and you can refer to a single page. If your WWW server supports byteserving and you optimized the distilled PDF with Exchange, you've got it. The WWW server will send the single page (+ some initial data like fonts). Acrobat Reader can download the rest of the document in the background while the user is reading (default setting of Reader). Oh, I think your users have to use Acrobat Reader 3.x installed as a *browser plug-in* (that's the default install, it won't work as a helper application).

You can read page 1, and link to page 731, and Reader will skip to page 731. Your message suggests that you are looking for a manual process of deciding which parts of PDF a user is to have. It isn't that at all. Byteserving is native in the latest Apache (though curiously MSIE 3 doesn't recognise my server as byteserving, while it does correctly talk to a CGI script; go figure...) By the way, 11 MB is still way too big for a 64 page catalog, even with byteserving, in my opinion. For web use, crank up the subsampling and strongest JPEG compression, and I'd expect that figure to go down a lot.

Some document content is better not served than served uselessly ... IMHO. We produce a lot of color, complex PDF documents from paper for web and CD, and people typically want sales tools like catalogs and brochures to retain clarity. The smallest possible file may be a technical victory, but it can also be a marketing failure. The individual page size in this catalog is certainly smaller than a complex, graphic-heavy HTML page would be (with similar or same content). Try to detect the 'offender' pages which are larger than they need to be, the vanilla/white pages, and pages with a high tolerance then reduce their sizes selectively. Line art, photos, bitmap text, and other 'fragile' pages can be treated more gently as they will degrade more quickly in any shrinkage work. Bookmarks and thumbnails are a good way to let your readers take advantage of byteserving with fewer surprises (like that full-screen shot that took 1 minute!). Also, breaking the catalog into sections then connecting it through bookmarks or page actions might mitigate the overall file size without impacting the reader.

Since ISO 9660 CD-ROMs must have all uppercase file names, and since none of us wants to create our PDFs and indexes more than once (right?), it seems more logical to me to always use uppercase "PDF". In other words, I would expect the server to be set up to recognize/support *both* uppercase and lowercase "pdf" file names. To answer Elissa's original questions, the behavior she notes is consistent with design and with what I've observed elsewhere, assuming the her intranet server hasn't been configured yet to support "application/pdf" yet.

To play QuickTime requires that the Reader install the QuickTime runtime on each PC - that's over a megabyte extra. To support more formats would bloat the Reader installer still more. Unless it was made optional - but then you end up with files that not everyone can view. I'd vote against any more video formats if it's going to add so much as 100K to the Reader installer.

In other words, when using Win '95, IE 4.01 (which is THE latest from Microsoft's site), Acrobat Exchange or Reader 3.01 and the OCX plug-in, I can't do a File, Open, and show the PDF file in a plug-in window. For some mysterious reason, it opens in a Helper window.

If the user has NTFS (rather than FAT), the security tab setting for the file must also be changed to give Everyone Full Control. 3) Once this is done, a non-adminstrative user can log on and all Acrobat functions will be available under Common. 4) Strongly recommend that local PostScript print drivers be installed for NT 4.0 users since they will need to change font settings (e.g., whether to substitute fonts, etc.) which typically is not granted to LAN users.

There is documentation of sorts in the PDFWriter control interface specification, which is included in the Acrobat 3.01 SDK, on the CDROM. This shows the hazards of trying to be user friendly! People prefer having these files to edit, to using the registry as Microsoft recommend. Almost all other settings in Acrobat moved to the registry - these didn't. > > So should I make both writeable?

You can see this effect (I think) on your local machine by creating a web page with links to the acrobat document and comparing the result Vs opening the file directly. It isn't strange that a different response can occur (since when opening in a browser window you can do things like jump to a named destination - which you can't by opening the pdf file directly). It's just odd that it doesn't do what you'd expect i.e. always open as a plug-in when in the browser. Unfortunately the close coupling of operating system and browser in IE 4 make it difficult to persuade it to do what you want (when it doesn't). This is one of the reasons why I run both IE 4 and Netscape. ============================================================== Buckden, < www.nplum.demon.co.uk/temptin.htm > Huntingdon, for information management & Adobe Cambs.

Yes, our Name It plug-in could be used to create the named destinations in batch. In this case a change to the PostScript to use the global VM via the setglobal call might be easier.

Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 I recently downloaded a trial version of LightningDraw/Web from http://www.LauriSoftware.com=20 (which does a snappy job of saving very small vector graphics to Gif, Jpeg, or Quicktime 3 for the web, BUT.. in the readme I see all of these bug warnings, and BTW I have Acrobat 301 and ATM 4.03 installed: Why can't I use PostScript fonts with LightningDraw/WEB? This is the result of a bug in Adobe Type Manager (version 4.0 and earlier) which prevents LightningDraw from drawing text in PostScript Type 1 fonts. Adobe is aware of the bug and has released a new version of ATM (4.0.2) which corrects this problem. ATM 4.0.2 is now available commercially and is included with Acrobat Reader 3.0.1. If you have ATM 4.0.2 or higher, read the accompanying document "Using PostScript Fonts" for instructions on how to repackage your fonts for use with LightningDraw. When I attempt to run Acrobat Reader, I get a message that "A GX-capable Adobe Type Manager=AE version 3.8.2 or newer must be installed to run under QuickDraw GX. Acrobat Reader will now quit". What is going on? This is the result of a bug in Acrobat Reader. It will display this error message if GXGraphics is installed and the "private" version of Adobe Type Manager is installed in the Acrobat folder. You can solve this problem by moving the "~ATM" control panel from Acrobat's "Fonts" folder to the Control Panels folder, and restarting your computer. Current LightningDraw/WEB installers will do this automatically for you, but you may need to move the "~ATM" file manually if you install Acrobat Reader after installing LightningDraw/WEB. When I start my computer, I get a message that "The installed substitution fonts are designed for use with QuickDraw GX. Please remove them and install the regular QuickDraw versions." What is going on? This is a result of a bug in the installer for Acrobat Reader 2.1. Acrobat uses a pair of Multiple Master fonts for drawing text when the original font used in the document is unavailable. Unfortunately, the Acrobat Reader 2.1 installer mistakenly installs the QuickDraw GX versions of the fonts if GXGraphics is installed, and ATM reports the error every time you start up. You can solve this problem by reinstalling Acrobat Reader with GXGraphics temporarily disabled, or by upgrading to Acrobat Reader 3.0.1. Acrobat Reader 3.0.1 provides enhanced navigation and web-based viewing of PDF files, and installs the new ATM 4.0.2, which offers antialiased text and better support for single-file PostScript fonts. To download the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader, go to the Help Desk section on the Lari web site (www.larisoftware.com), and choose Updates. The program is fine and if you go through the process of "enabling" all of your postscript fonts to Type 1 GX, you can actually use the fonts from within LightningDraw/WEB, but the errors on startup do not go away.

We have no immediate plans for a Unix version of Name It, but will consider it if we get requests for any specific platform. Porting the batch processing stuff to another platform is easy, but the user interface stuff takes a little more time!

The usual cause of this is using a black and white PPD or printer driver but that doesn't sound the case. It maye be a problem with embedding objects. Even Microsoft software (e.g. Word + Excel) will sometimes lose colour when printing embedded objects via a PostScript driver. Try using Paste Special and paste as pictures instead. That's assuming Freelance can't export EPS, which would be preferable. > On my printer set up my PPD is > Acrobat Distiller 2017.801.

Make sure the Windows 95 PC has Acrobat 3.0 or above, and make sure the Windows 95 version is installed (that is, it is not still the Windows 3.1 version running after an upgrade). 2. Reboot the Windows 95 PC in Safe Mode (press F8 as you boot). If it now works, you have a problem with one of your drivers (probably the video driver).

If you have composite and "color" set to print, the postscript retains the color information. Then, when you distill this file, the color remains and comes out on the PDF. If you select a non-color laser printer as your "default printer", the color information seems to get "discarded" from the postscript file.

It arguably isn't a bug, it's a well-established deficiency. It's actually the first time I've heard of this problem from a widespread printer driver. The problem is this: the original PostScript driver creates coloured shading using a PostScript "pattern". There is no clear reason why it does this, since it is much more efficient to just fill a solid colour, but that's what it does. Now, PDF before Acrobat 3.0 doesn't understand patterns at all. Acrobat 3.0 introduced support for patterns - sort of. They are understood by Distiller (in 3.0 mode) and get into the PDF file. BUT they only appear if you print to a level 2 PostScript printer. The rest of the time, the pattern fills are rendered as a greyscale (on screen, to non-PS printers, and to level 1 PS printers). The pattern instructions which do this are put there by the current PostScript driver, when it is asked to expand OLE embedded objects. The following may work. - don't use OLE - try with a different PS driver (especially, switch between Microsoft's and Adobe's driver) as the default.

Thanks to everyone who's helped on this. To date I've determined the following: 1) "If Content Advisor is turned on in Internet Explorer 4.0, you cannot view .pdf files in the browser.". This quote comes from a readme file from Microsoft on IE 4.01 2) Security on the intranet (or any other zone where PDF files are available) must not be set to High. Security must be set to medium or lower (or customized) otherwise, Active X plug-ins from 3rd-parties are disabled and the PDF file displays as a blank page or frame. (In IE 3.02 using Ratings or High Security causes similiar behavior). Microsoft's web site has some documentation to this effect; plug-in's are referred to in this literature as "in-place activation". I'm still soliciting help on this one and think that it is something that Adobe may well want to research and better document on its Web site. I'll repeat from my original posting that has been confirmed by others: Acrobat 3.01, IE 4.01, and the new OCX control are all involved. A File, Open (browse to a PDF file) opens a Helper App, not the plug-in window. This behavior can also happen on an intranet site with an internet site pulling in the plug-in appropriately. nic@nplum.demon.co.uk on 12/20/97 09:36:32 AM Please respond to pdf@lists.pdfzone.com To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com cc: (bcc: Elissa Sampson/Bsg/MetLife/US) Subject: Re: [PDF] RE: [PDF] Strange Behavior in IE 4.01, Reader or Exchange 3.01, OCX control installed I can confirm that this happens - I'm using IE 4.0. You can see this effect (I think) on your local machine by creating a web page with links to the acrobat document and comparing the result Vs opening the file directly. It isn't strange that a different response can occur (since when opening in a browser window you can do things like jump to a named destination - which you can't by opening the pdf file directly). It's just odd that it doesn't do what you'd expect i.e. always open as a plug-in when in the browser. Unfortunately the close coupling of operating system and browser in IE 4 make it difficult to persuade it to do what you want (when it doesn't). This is one of the reasons why I run both IE 4 and Netscape. ============================================================== Buckden, < www.nplum.demon.co.uk/temptin.htm > Huntingdon, for information management & Adobe Cambs.

For instance, can you index just a single small PDF file in a directory by itself? I don't know what the problem is but this will establish whether the problem lies in the PDF files. 4 meg of text is pretty huge.

I'm also wondering if the temporary files are being built on another drive, like maybe the startup disk. You may have free space on the data disk, but if the temp files are going to the startup disk, you'll still have trouble.

Thanks to everyone who's helped on this. To date I've determined the following: 1) "If Content Advisor is turned on in Internet Explorer 4.0, you cannot view .pdf files in the browser.". This quote comes from a readme file from Microsoft on IE 4.01 2) Security on the intranet (or any other zone where PDF files are available) must not be set to High. Security must be set to medium or lower (or customized) otherwise, Active X plug-ins from 3rd-parties are disabled and the PDF file displays as a blank page or frame. (In IE 3.02 using Ratings or High Security causes similiar behavior). Microsoft's web site has some documentation to this effect; plug-in's are referred to in this literature as "in-place activation". I'm still soliciting help on this one and think that it is something that Adobe may well want to research and better document on its Web site. I'll repeat from my original posting that has been confirmed by others: Acrobat 3.01, IE 4.01, and the new OCX control are all involved. A File, Open (browse to a PDF file) opens a Helper App, not the plug-in window. This behavior can also happen on an intranet site with an internet site pulling in the plug-in appropriately. nic@nplum.demon.co.uk on 12/20/97 09:36:32 AM Please respond to pdf@lists.pdfzone.com To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com cc: (bcc: Elissa Sampson/Bsg/MetLife/US) Subject: Re: [PDF] RE: [PDF] Strange Behavior in IE 4.01, Reader or Exchange 3.01, OCX control installed I can confirm that this happens - I'm using IE 4.0. You can see this effect (I think) on your local machine by creating a web page with links to the acrobat document and comparing the result Vs opening the file directly. It isn't strange that a different response can occur (since when opening in a browser window you can do things like jump to a named destination - which you can't by opening the pdf file directly). It's just odd that it doesn't do what you'd expect i.e. always open as a plug-in when in the browser. Unfortunately the close coupling of operating system and browser in IE 4 make it difficult to persuade it to do what you want (when it doesn't). This is one of the reasons why I run both IE 4 and Netscape. ============================================================== Buckden, < www.nplum.demon.co.uk/temptin.htm > Huntingdon, for information management & Adobe Cambs.

Smith" Subject: [PDF] MAC: Catalog v3.01? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please excuse this intrusion. I am handicapped and learning curves, for me, might be aggravating to you. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have 3 .pdf files made-up almost exclusivley of text totaling almost 4 megs on a volume with more than 100 megs of empty space. The volume containing the Acrobat Catalog v 3.01 for Macintosh application has almost 70 megs of free disk space. These files and their hoped for index will remain on/in the same machine/volume/directory and only be used by me. Trying to build an index fails with the log telling me to "Could not create index template files - please check disk space." and an error telling me that the file, "template.ddd" could not be opened. The documentation for Catalog that came on the CD says: "The index files require 10 to 30% of the space required by the documents being indexed, closer to 10% if the documents contain many graphics. The temporary files require 10 to 30% of the space required by the index files." Acrobat Catalog v3.01 for the Macintosh as installed from the CD when it came out has not been used until this attempt. Am I missing something here? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- System Particulars: o Apple/Macintosh 7200/75 Power PC (PPC601 CPU) o Apple Operating System version 7.6.1 o Apple Open Transport version 1.1.2 o Apple OT/PPP version 1.0 o 32 MB Physical RAM / 96 MB Logical RAM, (Ram Doubler 2) o 2 MB VRAM o 512K L2 Cache o 540 MB & 1.2 GB Internal Hard Disk Drives o Iomega Zip 100 External Cartridge Drive - ------------------------------ ______________________________ Gy..

I'm unclear from your posting whether you are talking about links between the chapters of one book or links between files or chapters of *separate* books. I print to a postscript file all the time from one book (with up to 75 chapters) and then distill it. I'm on a Unix box, so this works beautifully. While I'm not as familiar with the other option, I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you keep the relative paths the same between the books and their files and the resulting pdf's. (My Unix FrameMaker book needs preclude links outside of the book itself -- each design spec is under individual engineering change control and we cannot change other referenced documents without the proper sign-offs [even though sometimes we'd like to!]. This is to comply with FDA regulation in the USA and the European/Canadian/Japanese/Australian equivalents. It also is the raison d'etre for much of my job.) Paul K. Schulte Medtronic, Inc.

Equivalent question: is there any way to reduce the file size? Yes. Look into your Acrobat documentation about using Distiller instead of PDFwriter, which will enable you to use downsampling and/or compression to make the file size dramatically smaller. I can't give you simple instructions on how to do this--you need to read the documentoation and understand it before you can use it to your advantage.

There are multiple compression settings you can use to make the file size smaller. Look for them under the PDFWriter printer setup settings. Depending on the content of your newsletter, you will have lossless compression (monochrome images using CCITT or ZIP/LZW) or if you have grayscale or color parts you can use lossy compression, (JPEG, etc.). You will also want to downsample your images and compress the text and line art. You might also try distilling the PDF instead of using PDFWriter. It has much more compression, downsampling and subsampling options.

(I use them for client proofs.) The lightest tones (roughly 10% and below) go to white, and the darkest tones fill in solid. In between, the ramping is even for the CMY and the RGB, but not for K. Black ramps up slowly (too slowly) and evenly to about 50% (where 80% should be) and then quickly goes to solid. In my 33-step test file (on a Mac printing to a Epson 800 with the Epson serial driver) the results from Photoshop are wonderful. I can see 3% and 97% and everything in between. Can someone confirm this as a limitation of PDF? Or would you characterize it as a PDF/Epson interface thing. Or would you suspect my system or tests? (I have a Power Tower Pro 225.) Lastly, has anyone come up against this and solved it? (I've tried a Photoshop transfer function, but that requires an EPS file format that the serial driver can't handle outside of PS. I have Birmy PowerRIP 4.1, but don't like Stochastic Always dithering.)

It isn't a limitation of PDF - remembering that PDF is a file format. PDF can contain 256 levels of greyscale or 256x256x256 = 24 bit colour. I have demonstrated to my satisfaction that the right input will get the full range in a PDF file. It might be a limitation of the output, either in Acrobat or your printer driver; or of the method you used to create the PDF. Sometimes video drivers matter too. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 31-Dec-1997 9:46:34-GMT,3252;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA27120 for ; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 02:46:33 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id DAA29248; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 03:27:19 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 31 Dec 1997 03:24:56 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA29143; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 03:24:55 -0600 Message-Id: <199712310924.KAA14373@master.datanet.it> Subject: RE: [PDF] Can I get a witness?

First of all you must keep attention to: - Always use Distiller (and a good PS driver like Adobe 4.1.1) for producing your PDF files. Use of PDFWriter can also give changes in color as they can be translated to RGB (and it seems like to be the case as the original posting said: no problems with CMY or RGB but with BLACK); - Check correctly all those advanced parameters in Distiller like: - Convert CMYK images to RGB (comes selected by default but should be unchecked); - Color conversion (you should select the "unchanged" radio button). I have installed many Epson 1520 printers and always got great results printing from Exchange 3.0.1 with the right PDF files. I've no made comparison tests between direct print and print via PDF, I could do so if needed. What I'm sure is that if the printer driver is the same (e.g. printing from the same PC) the results should be identical if no transformations apply on the way before the driver. A more objective test could be done by looking at the hex dump of the stream produced by the driver instead of looking at a more subjective printed proof: you can bring up a simple test drawing some rectangles with fixed percent of color (e.g. 3% - 50% - 97% of CMYK) and compare the corresponding hex values of the two outputs (direct and via PDF). Second, you should keep in mind another issue: some programs (and FreeHand is one of these) produce blends that are resolution-dependent, so another important Distiller parameter to check is the resolution. If you keep it too low (600 dpi could be too low for a 720/1440 dpi - true or false? - Epson) some steps of the blend can be rounded to color values that differ from those produced directly by another program. So check again your test increasing the Distiller resolution to 1200 or 1500 dpi. Greetings and happy new year to everybody!

Since then we've developed two generations of a publishing tool that does everything you describe using custom VBA code within MS Access. The current tools are general enough that we use them to publish indexes to document collections (e.g. conference proceedings) for our customers. However, it wasn't simple to get where we are. We overcame tons of gotchas getting code to work properly behind Access reports and developing a process that results in distilled PDF containing (frequently) tens of thousands of links was not easy either. If you want, I'll send you a CD-ROM showing you what's possible and discuss with you (offline) the process we arrived at. Bob Marsh GM, Sony Electronic Publishing Services (408) 657-2426 I want to keep a database of documents (database to be determines, but probably Access). The database has a few document information and tracking fields for internal use; however, only a couple of fields, and some grouping information, will need to display in the Welcome document. I would like to generate a report style document. The field to display would be Name of document, description. Each database record also has a category and subcategory that it belongs to. The output from the database should be grouped and subgrouped accordingly, with the name of the category and subcategory appearing only at the front of a given section. The best case would be to also include a relative link to the actual PDF file in the database. I would then like this information to be able to dynamically flow into a frame within a 640 x 480 screen, that has some graphics in the background (some navigation elements). I would also like the category, subcategory, and records to pick up style tags upon output. Picking up links to the underlying PDF documents would also be great. I was hoping to use something like Pagemaker to do this, but my intial efforts seemed cumbersome and required manual manipulation. I used to use a product called Database Publisher with Ventura that could deliver this kind of output... I'm wondering whether Corel's new stuff could handle this. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://emerge.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 31-Dec-1997 18:22:57-GMT,8917;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA06575 for ; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 11:22:56 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA10463; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 12:06:02 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 31 Dec 1997 12:04:34 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA10360; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 12:04:33 -0600 Message-ID: <01BD1616.F23FC900@rockhse2.docctrl.com> From: David Cornwell To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] PDFs, Databases, Live Links, Pagemaker...

Otherwise, you need to use a software product like Toast for the Mac to record your hybrid CDs. Also, Adobe has a neat little Mac. utility that will add the Acrobat resources to PDF files, as well as the Mac icon. We do a lot of our PDF work over a network, and the final staging is done on a Mac in preparation for Toast.

On my Mac, I use Adobe PSPrinter 8.3.1, with Virtual Printer / Acrobat Distiller 3.0 selected. (Never use the PDF Writer.) (I've downloaded AdobePS 8.5.1, but haven't got it working yet.) In Distiller 3.01, Convert CMYK to RGB is deselected (since, in part, I'm testing RGB colors.) Color Conversion is at unchanged. Under Compression, I sometimes use none at all, I sometimes use Low JPEG compression, which is Low compression, right, not low quality?

Yes. I do this. (Wish the default was higher than 300.) Freehand blends print great on the Epson 800 inkjet; didn't see anything to improve. But my test files are TIFFs from Photoshop with 33 distinct steps per color -- one in CMYK mode and one in RGB. >So check again your test increasing the Distiller resolution to 1200 or 1500 >dpi. I usually set the resolution in Page Setup for PSPrinter to 1440 with a halftone of 240 (though the halftone setting doesn't seem to make a difference). Just checked Distiller and the Default resolution is set for 720. The TIFF files are at 240 ppi -- the preferred resolution for most people on the Epson inkjet mailing list. I believe I ran some early tests with TIFFs at 360 ppi and saw equivalent results. (I'm one of those on the list that believe that Epson inkjets (especially the 1440 res ones) can benefit from higher res than 240 if there is significant fine detail -- but many/most images don't need that, including I would think, a simple stepped gradient. I'm supplying the details because of the depth in your response. Please feel no obligation to do anything other than bid farewell to 1997, in your fashion, and welcome 1998 in the spirit that feels right. Wish all the best.

Here's what I have in mind: I want to keep a database of documents (database to be determines, but probably Access). The database has a few document information and tracking fields for internal use; however, only a couple of fields, and some grouping information, will need to display in the Welcome document. I would like to generate a report style document. The field to display would be Name of document, description. Each database record also has a category and subcategory that it belongs to. The output from the database should be grouped and subgrouped accordingly, with the name of the category and subcategory appearing only at the front of a given section. The best case would be to also include a relative link to the actual PDF file in the database. I would then like this information to be able to dynamically flow into a frame within a 640 x 480 screen, that has some graphics in the background (some navigation elements). I would also like the category, subcategory, and records to pick up style tags upon output. Picking up links to the underlying PDF documents would also be great. I was hoping to use something like Pagemaker to do this, but my intial efforts seemed cumbersome and required manual manipulation. I used to use a product called Database Publisher with Ventura that could deliver this kind of output... I'm wondering whether Corel's new stuff could handle this. I'd appreciate anybody's thoughts on this.

Reduce the graphics load. Can you reduce the initial graphics complexity any? For example, a color screen that looks good on hardcopy may not look good on the screen, and takes lots of space. Eliminate or simplify what background graphics you can. 2. Look at reducing the file size. For a short discussion of means of doing this, read the paper "PDF File Size Optimization" at "http://www.xenosgroup.com/files/optimize.htm". Let me know if you have any more questions.
