Is it because of many pages or is it because of many or big graphics and fonts? I would suggest to do the following steps: 1. Check whether your file is not corrupted. To do this, go through every page of it, so that it will load properly. If you get error messages here, you better recreate the file from the sources. 2. Quit Exchange. Terminate all other running programs etc. in order to free up as much useable RAM as possible. It might even be worthwile to reboot your machine and terminate everything you don't need for the optimizing. Then restart Exchange. 3. Save the file under another name with optimizing disabled. This is a first step to clean the file. If you get the error messages right now, you better recreate the file from the sources. 4. Close the file and open it again. Save it under another name with optimizing enabled. This should do it. Another reason for problems I have occasionally found is that I had too many subsets of the same font embedded under different names (that happens when one combines several files into one document. In this case, distill them again and make sure that the complete fonts are embedded. Hope, this can help.

So far I came to the conclusion to attribute this to the not clearing of embedded subsetted fonts, but I could be wrong. In some cases, I also suspect some plug-ins to have a destabilizing effect. In some cases, I do a three phase save operation: Save, close the document, open the document, Save as... with optimizing disabled, close the document, open the document, Save as... with optimizing enabled, close the document, open the document for further work on it. Tedious, but safe.

Things have now been sorted out -- for the most part -- and the archives for each of our discussion lists (PDF, PDF-Basics, PDFdev and Capture) are available again. One small glitch remains.While browsing the archives works as before, at this moment the search tool for the archives (different from the search tool for the rest of PDFzone.COM) isn't functional. We expect to have that working again very soon. Last, there was a brief period early this morning when some list mail was being bounced back to the sender. That shouldn't happen now -- if anyone does experience a problem, please let us know so we can try to resolve any lingering problems.

I had high hopes for tonight, can you help. You mean after reading the manual, or that you haven't? Of course, the demo won't save, and you won't be able to save again until you uninstall it (in the usual way).

This and the T4 names etc indicate that the driver is downloading truetype fonts as type 3 (which can be vector or bitmap). When they reach acrobat they become a kind of graphic, they are not really text at all (not searchable etc). You need to set your printer driver to substitute postscript for truetype fonts. So you will need some suitable postscript fonts on your system. As for why it works like this at some times and not others - well that's just spooky.

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.

When our customer prints a particular PDF using reader some of the "images" are black (the rest of the time, all is okay). History of the PDF The PDF was created from a Microsoft Word (6.0a) document that contained some TIFF photos in frames to final size of 1/2 Letter. These PDFs were printed to EPS and re-distilled to give a Letter-sized PDF then customised using a Form button which navigates back to an Index page. All seemed okay. Our Customer uses Windows 3.11 (16 Mb RAM) and prints to a HP DeskJet 820. When printed, sometimes the "images" are okay, sometimes maybe just the last image is faulty. The "image" often starts to print okay, but (say) half-way down starts to print as black. All the other elements in the page (text and form button) are okay. There doesn't seem to be any logic about it. Does anyone have any cures, advice or explanations? Thanks in advance, Darryl Lucas __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 3-Feb-1999 16:44:40-GMT,2604;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA15825 for ; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 09:44:39 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA16516; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 10:38:21 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 3 Feb 1999 10:34:15 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA14478; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 10:34:14 -0600 Message-ID: From: "Epps, Fred W" To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] Watermark in Win NT ?

It does not have a transparency option. In fact, Aandi informed us that neither PostScript nor PDF support transparency (thanks Aandi). The workaround is to use the Win 95 Distiller driver and select the "outline only" and "overlay" options. This creates a watermark that is never obscured by bitmaps. Because it is outline only, it doesn't cover anything on the page enough to be a problem, either.

I run Exchange on a PC, but I was saving the file to a Local Area Network. I subsequently copied the file to the hard disk drive of the PC and attempted to do the SAVE AS (with optimization) again.

This can ONLY >be RGB. Agrees and I can confirm by such fact. When I worked with Ventura 4.2 (there were no color profiles), the print in PDF as carried out on same Ditiller 3.0 and all was good. RGB in the publication and RGB in PDF completely corresponded. The problems have begun in Ventura7 and 8. >Some sophisticated applications generate their own PostScript >(e.g. CorelDRAW, QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator, PageMaker, >and Photoshop, MacroMedia Freehand). These have no real relationship >to the driver, and may output RGB or CMYK at their choice. Really, such choice gives PhotoShop, is realized in the menu of a choice of options of a seal. It is logical. It seemed, as in Ventura it should be solved as an option. But it is not enough of that such option is not present, Corel does not know, that with this problem to do. Here that write in this occasion: =========== I just got an answer from Corel, and basically what they said is that the only way to do this is to have an RGB PPD (as you already figured out) and RGB printer profile installed. Unfortnately, all PS printers are CMYK devices -- which bascially means you can't get there from here. I even tried messing around with the Distiller PPD to try to fool V8 into thinking it was an RGB printer. But it didn't work. :-( =========== >Distiller will preserve RGB precisely. It has the option to convert >CMYK to RGB. However, if you select "convert to device independent >colour", although the RGB will not change it may look different. Yes, there is such option, but it influences only on bitmaps. Really, CMYK bitmaps will be transformed in RGB, that by the way results in reduction of a file. But the vector objects (fills, text) remain in CMYK and it looks awfully. >Because some applications always convert to CMYK, it is impossible >to maintain RGB if you are using one of them. I don't know the >story in Ventura. It is a publishing tool, so it may generate CMYK >unconditionally. It turns out, that so. The same situation and with QuarkXPress. Did not check, but probably it concerns and to PageMaker and another DTP. Whether means it, what all these products can not be used for preparation of the colour publications? Or all the narrow CMYK-space arranges. Since I have met with this problem, I did not meet any colour document in a format PDF in which there was RGB. All or grey or in awful CMYK. Really there is no decision??

SW configuration is: OS/2 Warp 4, Netscape 2.02, "old" WP Win 6.1 running under Win/OS2 Obviously only a LF/CR is pasted into the WordPerfect document; even with pure OS/2 applications this happens. Opening the document directly with the Acrobat Reader on the intranet server works fine - copy and paste is possible (which is only a workaround for administrators, not normal users). Any suggestions?

You could actually lose them on every line but the first. So your lines are running together. Does the error make sense now? And, having read the other replies, it is worse than I originally thought because you don't have a Content-type line. The web server requires one or more header lines followed by two newlines, and it is trying to interpret your (one line) FDF as that header.

There are several companies that are offering PDF merging type of capabilities. First a company called AudienceOne. They used to be owned by Adobe. Their web site is http://www.audienceone.com. You might take a look at PDFFusion as well. I'm not sure if they do what you want, but I think so. They advertise on this site. Finally, the solution I would try would be using forms. Now that Adobe has put out the ActiveX version of the FDF library, it is very easy to use form buttons to display PDF pages as "icons". The fdfSetAP and fdfSetAPRef functions in the library enable this. You can also write out your own fdf's too, but why bother when the library exists. I just did a project using this technique a few days ago. I know it works. If you need any help with whatever approach you take, feel free to email me off list. ( jon.beam@whittman-hart.com ). Good luck, Jon Beam Client-Server Consultant Whittman-Hart, Inc. www.whittman-hart.com I am wondering what is the best way to merge two PDF documents together - where one document is a vanilla document containing only text, and the other document contains graphic items which can be overlayed over the text. ... Are there any off-the-shelf products around that deliver this functionality? Alternatively, what is the best way to achieve this aim? ... __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 4-Feb-1999 16:13:00-GMT,1976;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA16771 for ; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 09:12:59 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA16090; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 10:04:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 4 Feb 1999 09:59:47 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA15399; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 09:59:42 -0600 Message-Id: <199902041559.JAA15389@everglades.binc.net> Subject: [PDF] Netscape 4.5 w/PDFViewer on G3 PowerBook - Reader 3.01 crashes Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 17:09:48 +0100 x-sender: o.druemmer@mail.callassoftware.com x-mailer: Claris Emailer 2.0v3, January 22, 1998 From: Olaf Dr=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=fcmmer?= To: "PDF listserver" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com We experience the following problem: Netscape 4.5 with PDFViewer 1.1 Plug-in on a G3 PowerBook - with Mac OS 8.5 - loading a PDF - ...

While the navigation (links) originally just worked ok by now the whole thing is so slow you nearly drop dead before the screen is redrawn. The basis: - we are not allowed to divide the file. - we got an 'index' (chapters) on every page. - we got several links in every page, linking across pages and chapters. The questions: - Is there a way to enhance the navigation/linking? - Has anyone experience with eBooks with more than 1000 pages? - If so: what where the target systems and machines? - Where you encountering the same problems? We hope for suggestions, comments, solutions, ... Thank you in advance!

Yes, I have experience with files with over 1000 pages; these files are generated by our own converter. Futhermore, at every page we have about 7 bookmarks, i.e. about 7000 bookmarks and more in the whole document. I am not sure if you only use links (which we don't) or also bookmarks (which we do). Anyway, I think the problem might be similar. Well, as for the bookmarks, they are stored in the PDF as a linearly linked list. When scrolling in the bookmarks area (on the left), all the bookmarks must be processed. As far as I know, there is no means in the PDF structure how to build some "index" or something similar over the bookmarks. ==> you can't help, this WILL be slow. How slow? Well, in our case, with Pentium 100MHz it's unbearable. With Pentium 400Mhz - well, it's still not exactly fast but one can work with it. petr.fexa@wien.materna.de > ---------- > Von: Stefan Keller[SMTP:stefan@sumo.ch] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 4.

For each tally, it will tell you how many were 'bad' actions. Among other checks, GoTo actions with named destinations are checked to make sure the name exists, and GoToR actions are checked to make sure the specified file exists, and that the named destination or page number exists in the file. Acrobat can be tricky, because if you click on a GoToR link with a named destination where the linked file exists but the named destination is not in the linked file, Acrobat will open the file to page 1 without reporting an error.

Good advice, but check you are using the right version of Norton for MacOS 8.5.

We would submit our jobs as batch jobs at night and get approximately 1700 pages done between 4:30 pm and 6:30 am (14 hours). This entailed capturing a single-page tiff to a 'PDF Image w/Hidden Text' and then combining all the single-paged PDFs produced into one manual per directory (we used customized coding thru the OLE interface). This work was done on one machine that had 32 MB RAM and, at least, 1 free GB of hard drive space - running Windows NT 4.0 (SP3) on a Pentium Pro 200.

But if all of the previous are in good condition and the objcetive is to produce PDF Text files, another question arise, do you require full validation, in order to you need to correct the characters, words or you can leave them as Bitmap or graphic. If so, here's one to will blow some people off: with serious PC's, PII 350mhz, 132 meg ram, good HD (preferably SCSI FAST) you can process from 5 to pages per minute (if prior conditions are met (clean text) to 10 pages per minute. You go out and buy an Acrobat 3.0 10 pack You go out and buy 4 PC's, 1 screen 15 inches , good video card, 1 switch box for keyboard, mouse and screen, GOOD network cards (preferably 100 Base T) You hire someone with minimum qualification, but that as at least computer basics, understands network mapping drivesand so on, and BINGO you have it. Now let's see what you have saved, 2 to 3 cents per page royalty charges to our beloved Adobe so around 150$ to 200$ per day, if you have a production problem, you address it on the spot, and with time and if you want to increase capacity, believe me you can add 4 more PC's and the person will still be available to handle it EASILY, if not FIRE the person and hire someone with 2 bits of intelligence and no problem. Now has far as credibility to this approach,we have been doing it for over a year and 7,000 pages a day is no problem whatsoever. Now if you don't want to do it, we would be more than glad to do it for 5 cents per page CANADIAN FUNDS (check the exchange rate, you will see that it's a pretty good deal. We people up north learn to creative, we have an FTP site with cable connection, and if require we simply are waiting to test ADSL lines that are available to us for 55$ CDA a month...

What is the type of your images: Black and white, 300 dpi? 400 dpi?, Color, 8-bit(256 color)/24 bit(true color), 200/300 dpi? 2. Is it a straight tiff to PDF or do you need to Capture the tiffs? 3. Answers to the above can determine how much time is required for the procesing time for each page of image. 4. Then the issue is purely mathematical, depending on the software and the hardware you are using... e.g. For a Pentium 233, 64MB, 300 DPI black and white typical document page, with OCR capturing, it taks about 60 seconds with Acrobat Capture 2.01. and approx. 30 seconds with our PageGenie 2000 Pro. So 7000 pages with capture would take approx. 120 hours of computer time for Acrobat Capture and approx. 60 computer hours with our PageGenie 2000. Unless it is on-line, you can set it up to be batched so you may be looking at 20-24 hours utilization per station... I would say you need from 6-15 stations depending on your "environment" settings... Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me off-line.....

This document works quite well on my machine; no noticeable sluggishness. So, there are a few more things we should know about your document: how is it created? how are the links introduced? what type of fonts are used? is the document optimized? Hope, this can help.

Arguably, one good argument against extending the list of movie types is that Acrobat Reader would then have to include an MPEG player, making it still more bloated. If you are sure the user has an MPEG player you can just link to the .mpg files. There will be a warning message for each movie, however.

Now I seek a solution or program to automatically convert MS Office Files (mainly DOCs, but XLSs and PPTs would be nice too) to PDF. The requirements are that the conversion has to be as "intelligent" as possible (e.g. creation of bookmarks, links etc.) and that the process runs more or less unattended. That is, somehow the conversion has to be done WITHOUT anybody opening e.g. Word and pressing the "create PDF" button since it has to be initiated by the web server. I already tried PDFMaker and Local Render - they both seem to do the job, but not unattended. As far as it seems, PDFMaker could be controlled via Word Macros / VBA Scripts, and Local Render offers an optional command line interface to control it. Did anybody try this or something similar and knows how to do it? Or maybe is there already a program that does the trick? (With or without using Word itself, I don't care as long as it remains in the background.) Any other suggestions?

Im on a mission to create a document form handling system entirely in the Mac OS using PERL shell on the Apache/Webten App to help with CGI grokking when Filemaker and Lasso are no help. After scouring the archives regarding Applescripting FDF import into a PDF, I wonder if anyone as figured out a workaround to Quickeys. Id like the fastest (Mac G3 - Based) solution possible, and the thought of *having* to use Quickeys or some other keyboard-typing emulator makes me cringe. Is proper management of the "/F" key in the FDF gonna be the key here? thanks for any shoves in the right direction ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-1156 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems Fort Worth, Texas __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 5-Feb-1999 19:10:36-GMT,2715;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id MAA23284 for ; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 12:10:35 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA07220; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 13:05:09 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 5 Feb 1999 13:03:19 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA07035; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 13:03:12 -0600 Message-Id: <199902051903.IAA30623@smtp2.ihug.co.nz> Subject: [PDF] Errors in downloaded docs.

PDF files should always be regarded as binary files for purposes of data transfer and attributes. - Dov __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 5-Feb-1999 21:25:07-GMT,2246;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id OAA26950 for ; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 14:25:06 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA20128; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 15:17:25 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 5 Feb 1999 15:15:13 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA19941; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 15:15:12 -0600 Message-ID: <00b601be514d$097a6360$778902c3@sq34255> From: "Geoff Caplan" To: Subject: Re: [PDF] Errors in downloaded docs.

PDFzone.COM is now offering a range of sponsorship and advertising opportunities. Request more info at: http://www.pdfzone.com/feedback/adform.html ----------------------- INTRO Feb. 5, 1999 ---- WELCOME to the PDF email list, launched in 1995 to facilitate helpful discussions among users of Adobe(tm) Acrobat(tm) software and the portable document format (pdf). The list is unmoderated -- that is, messages are *not* screened by the listowner before they are posted to the list address & delivered to subscribers. To maintain the intended professional nature of this list, hosted & sponsored by "PDFzone.COM," a written set of policies has been established. List subscribers are obliged to be familiar with & to abide by these rules of proper behavior. In general, the rules request that fellow list subscribers treat each other with respect in public list discussions. The list administrators pledge to maintain a light hand on the reins, having neither time for or interest in practicing dictatorial management. Instead, our aim is to foster and help facilitate an electronic environment for constructive, on-topic discussions. Proper list use -- including peaceful co-existence of subscribed individuals & companies who may represent competing products, services or goals -- will ideally be self-regulated by and among subscribers. However, if/when circumstances might warrant, PDFzone.COM reserves the right to request and/or enforce compliance with its stated policies. Determined at the list administration's *sole* discretion, behavior deemed inconsistent with the list's mission and in violation of its guidelines may result in any or all of the following actions: - first (in most cases), a friendly reminder of policy - next (in repeat situations), a second warning of violation - and/or, in persistent or the most serious situations, including blatant spamming, chronic vulgarity and verbal abuse, in being removed *without warning* and possibly banned permanently from the list. Any serious violations, such as prolonged verbal abuse or blatant commercialism, will result in *immediate* removal without warning. If deemed necessary, chronic list abusers will be permanently banned. The most important principles are summarized immediately below this introduction, and where necessary, explained in greater detail further below. ================================================ * IMPT: Blatantly off-topic (AND even relevant) postings of a commercial nature are not allowed on the PDF list. A firm NO SPAM policy is in effect -- and is strictly enforced by the listowners -- at all times. PDFzone.COM takes several measures to control unsolicited bulk email from being randomly sent to the list address. However, it's not possible to block all such electronic junk mail on the front end. Any identifiable person or email address intentionally posting commercial messages will be immediately REMOVED from the list. [*more details below] + The PDF list uses more than one address, each for a specific purpose. The "LIST" address is for posting MESSAGES to SUBSCRIBERS; the "SERVER" address is for sending COMMANDS to a COMPUTER (aka a "file server"). Subscribers should understand the difference and use each address appropriately. [*more details below] + As a safeguard, the 'Subject' field header and the first few lines of all messages sent to the list address are automatically screened by the list-serving software. Majordomo, the software used for this list, watches for ant of a select set of "taboo" words, rejecting any messages that contain pre-defined terms -- ones that look like SERVER COMMANDS rather than LIST MESSAGES. For example, it will reject messages sent to the list address that contain terms such as "subscribe," "unsubscribe" or "help." [*more details below] + In addition, there is a third email address for *subscribing* to a separate "digest" version of the PDF list. Unlike those subscribed to the main PDF list who receive every list message individually, "PDF-Digest" subscribers will receive one daily compilation of PDF list messages, resulting in a single large file. People subscribed to the "PDF-Digest" version *MUST* unsubscribe using the "PDF-Digest" list's separate SERVER address. [*more details below] + When replying to the LIST address (sending a message to ALL list subscribers), do *NOT* also forward to the full-text of any message(s) to which you are replying. Instead, edit the previous message(s), including *ONLY* enough detail to provide context to your reply. Also, please remove redundant footer information (identifying the list & sponsor) from replies posted to the list address, too. + Sending file attachments to the list address is *NOT* allowed under any circumstances; violators will be reminded once, then removed from the list if subsequent messages containing attachments are sent to all subscribers. If you need help with a problem file, try either of the following methods to solicit help from fellow subscribers: - post to the list address only a brief message describing the problem and asking for assistance, then send the file _directly_ only to those who respond, OR - post a URL where others can download your problem file + Questions, concerns or suggestions about *ANY* aspect of list management or use -- including allegedly improper conduct by other subscribers -- should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list (currently more than 2100). Any questions, concerns or suggestions about any aspect of list management or use should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list. ================================================ GENERAL INFORMATION - Additional Details +++++++++++++++++++++++ 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 the 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 (also a digest) * PDF-Announce for more commercially oriented messages * PDFdev, primarily for Acrobat developers (also a digest) * PDF-Basics, for entry-level questions and support Please use the appropriate 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: mailto:pdf@lists.pdfzone.com This will distribute your message to all PDF subscribers, currently more than 2100 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 at: mailto:listowner@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!): mailto:pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com OR, for the digest version, to: mailto:pdf-digest-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!): mailto: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!): mailto: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!): mailto:pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8. Is there an archive of the list discussions? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ YES - PDFzone.COM now offers web-based archives of its four email discussion lists. The archive for PDF (and PDF-Digest) subscribers is: http://www.pdfzone.org/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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: PDFzone.COM 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 every message sent to the LIST address (sent from a _subscribed_ email address) to all current subscribers -- or sends a daily compilation to those registered only 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 several 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 may result first in a reminder and a warning, and finally in removal from the list. Blatant violations, as determined by the listowner, may result in immediate removal and a ban on further 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 (mailto: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 automatically by the Internet Service Provider. Subscribers agree to allow PDFzone.COM 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 this list. Messages originally posted to the PDF list should not be posted elsewhere without the expressed permission of the author, with attribution to PDFzone.COM as the source. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 14. Statistics for PDF & PDF-Digest ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Number of subscribed email addresses (includes gateways*) as of January 31, 1999 PDF 869 PDF-Digest 1250 * 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. == * P D F z o n e .

Some of the following have been raised, others I have included: -- File size (image dimensions, resolution, bit-depth, etc) -- Image complexity and quality -- Text size and density -- Non-text elements "tempting" to OCR engines -- OCR engine (Capture and others) -- Processor "potency" (CPU power, drive speeds, memory, network bandwidth, etc.) -- Method (plug-in, batch processing, multi-systems, watched folders, etc.) -- File assembly and indexing requirements -- Reliability (error handling time, fatal crash time, etc) All of these factors are important. But... the most important, is Output. Only PDF/Image Only files may be generated in high volume (>10k pp./day/machine) with near-total reliabilty and consistant no-brainer quality, and with almost zero reference to most of the factors noted above. With OCR in the picture, things change! Performing OCR raises the question: How good do you want your output to be? 98.5%, 99%, even 99.25% accurate? (Bear in mind that these levels are (a) realistic, and (b) represent, in fact, LOUSY OCR for many purposes. Of course, books and magazines can OCR somewhat better than that -- if your image is top-quality, and there's no shading, or dots, or grid-lines or whatever else you've got. (Please don't bomb me!) Without meaning to sound TOO snotty about it, the reason most people get away with these results with PDF/Image+Text generated with "pushbutton" OCR is that (a) the file-type hides it beautifully "behind the image" (as we like to say), and (b) the users/customers generally DON'T EXPECT TO EDIT their PDFs. The answer to your question REALLY is: what quality of result are you interested in? If you want a PDF file any-old-way it comes out of the box (we call it "ex machina"), then it's somewhat meaningful to compare who's software chugs pages fastest on what CPU. If you care to specify a "quality-level" of output, then you have to add in all the human and machine time for OCR correction, zoning, pre-processing image treatment, error-handing, etc, etc. These factors frequently render machine-speed irrelevent. The nature of the project, not the number of machines, will determine the correct mix of resources to achieve an optimum overall output. Here endeth the lesson! (whew!)

This morning, once again the suggestion was made on the PDF list to add the line <> setdistillerparams to the distiller example.ps file in the startup directory. On UNIX systems, that line should go into the file /your-installation-path-goes-here/Acrobat3/Distillr/Startup/Example.ps For the record, I'm running Acrobat Distiller 3.02 and Acrobat Exchange 3.0 on Sun Solaris 2.6. By running the Sun Solaris truss program to trace system calls, I've confirmed that that file IS actually opened and read by distill. Other correspondents on either of the above lists, or the PDFTeX list, suggested removing three other kinds of document structuring comments, so my script which implements the conversion has a filter stage egrep -v '^%%PageOrientation|^%%Orientation|%%ViewingOrientation' to remove those three types of lines. However, despite those actions, I still find files that get gratuitously rotated, so I decided to spend some time on a quiet Saturday to further diagnose the problem. After a couple of hours of hair-pulling experimentation, I've finally come up with an example which readers, particularly ones at Adobe, are invited to experiment with.

For now, I'm going to alter my filter in the script to read egrep -v '^%%PageOrientation|^%%Orientation|%%ViewingOrientation|%%Page:' but I fully expect to encounter yet more examples of files that get an unwanted rotation. Can someone at Adobe please dig into this, and post for all of us the exact algorithm used to decide whether to insert a page rotation or not?

I had such a reflexion with one of my customers (lawyers) and the final conclusion what that there was 3 types of documents: 1- visual only: a good indexing is required in order to facilate retrieval, resolution can be set at 200DPI, network traffic is a concern and os is printing speed, no matter what you say or do, some users will always print for later reading and so on. TIF is a good alternative and so is PDF Image 2- Documents require a full text search but compromizes can be reached whereby, the doc's do not require to be fully validated, in other words anywhere from 85% up is acceptable, than PDF Text (with no validation is applicable), this alternative is both feasible and provides definite advantages as far as storage, network traffic and printing speed. And they can always work on one specific document to fully validate (if the need arise) it at a later date (one fact remains only 5% to 10% of the total document mass will accessed at a later date, but nobody knows which one?!?!). At this point anything lower than 300DPI will produce low quality recognition by any OCR engine. I certainly agree with your point (1). My experience re (2) is that very poor OCR (which I would define as <95%, or 1 in 20 character errors, is unacceptable for any project demanding (and paying the premium for) OCR in the first place. Naturally, many a client -- especially those unfamiliar to these issues -- thinks otherwise - at first. Some people resign themselves to a poor solution because they don't want to try cost-justifying a fix, some folks come back and say "we tried it that way, and OUCH!". The point I make to clients is that if full-text search is a principal retrieval method, then validation is all the MORE important. Solid indexing can frequently make up for poor OCR -- and with <95% accuracy, it better be there! Validated (and/or zoned) OCR generally does not affect file size -- but when it does, it's for the better. 300 dpi is certainly a requirement for decent results -- especially with text 10 point and under.

Therefore I need a tool for simple edition of 30- 50 pages black-white graphics in PDF format - removing black stripes and moving or rotating graphic sections. As far as I know Illustrator 8.0 is able to manage PDF files, but of ONE PAGE only. Is PDF format of graphics editable by file editor, if so where I can find its description ? I tried to use PageMaker 6.5 for preparation of editable document (text with graphics) including hyperlinks, but suprisingly I found the hyperlink tool in PageMaker is much more complicated, as in Exchange, and limited to 500. I would be grateful for any suggestion about the software producing editable documents with not limited hyperlinks, which could be transferred to PDF file keeping hyperlinks. With best wishes.

I assume from this you are NOT using Capture. If that is the case the usual technique is to go through Distiller; Exchange will produce unnecessarily large files. Exchange is not a bitmap editor; you should scan and correct in your SCANNING software before going near Acrobat. > As far as I know > Illustrator 8.0 is able to manage PDF files, but of ONE PAGE only. No, it can edit a multi-page file. However, Illustrator only edits one page at a time. If the pages are bitmaps, Photoshop 5.0 is a much better choice (again, preferably before going near PDF). > Is PDF format of graphics editable by file editor, if so where I > can find its description ? Not in any useful way.

Therefore, your editing tools will always work on a page-by-page basis. In order to work within Exchange, you could look at PitStop from Enfocus. This is a plug-in which allows editing text and graphics elements within Exchange. This could be an option. You can get a trial licence and download the plug-in from http://www.enfocus.com Hope, this can help.

Set PDFWriter or Acrobat Distiller as the default printer then select all of the spreadsheets as icons, select print from the popup menu that is displayed by the right mouse button............. . Of course if you need automatic links etc, that is another story.

Hmmm, the PDF ActiveX control (supplied by Adobe) is only intended for use in Internet Explorer. It is not a full implementation of an ActiveX control nor is it supported by Adobe. You are certainly welcome to try and use it, but you can expect that you will probably have troubles when it comes to upgrading to new versions of Acrobat. The recommended way of using Acrobat in your own window is to use Acrobat Exchange and the IAC model. See http://www.codecuts.com/ for details (under the PDF ActiveX menu). This obviously requires all your clients to have Acrobat Exchange.

All you have to do is sending an email - with the pdf file attached - to pdf2html@sun.trace.wisc.edu. After a few minutes you will receive an email with the original file in the HTML format. Works fine for "ordinary" PDF files. In general, I think it is much better to save the original document as a HTML file instead of converting it from PDF to HTML. Applications like Winword 97, Ventura Publisher 8 and newer versions of Framemaker and Pagemaker are able to deal with HTML.

No PDF file produced. ] %% > First a commentary, then a possible answer to the problem. There is no good reason to convert your text to outlines if you have Distiller set to embed and if needed subset your fonts. Font embedding can insure that the file is fully self-contained. i.e. everything needed to output the file correctly is contained in the file. If you convert your fonts to outline, you can lose out in a few areas. First of all, you lose out on all Type 1 hinting. Hints in Type 1 fonts allow a Type 1 rasterizer (standalone ATM, and ATM built into the Acrobat viewers, Type 1 rasterizer built into PS printers) to give you good quality characters at small point sizes and/or low resolutions. Given that monitor resolutions are generally in the range of 72 -100 dpi, hinting plays an important part of getting clean looking characters on monitors. Even high resolution devices can benefit from hinting when rasterizing small characters. Second loss is speed. Each time a character in a Type 1 font is rasterized, the resulting bitmap is generally put into something called the font cache. The font cache allows already rasterized characters to be reused without having to go through the rasterization step. If the character is converted to outline, it is no longer a character and therefore will not go into the font cache after being rasterized. OK, I'm done with my rant. Now on to the possible problem. First of all the message "GadgetRegular not found, using Courier" indicates that during the distillation process, Distiller was unable to find the PostScript Gadget font. Make sure you have the Gadget PS font *and* that Distiller can find it. You can tell Distiller where to look for fonts by using the Font Locations dialog. One thing to note, it can be misleading to interpret that there is something wrong with the font. This is not the case in your problem. The .log file contains all messages written by the PS program and Distiller, not just error messages. The real error is on the next line "Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: image". The problem with the file is that a scanned image (read Photoshop EPS) is causing the problem. A rangecheck error with the image operator can be caused by a number of different reasons, all of which would take some time to diagnose. I would try two things. First, open the the EPS file in Photoshop and resave the file as EPS. (This step is most likely unneeded, but it doesn't hurt anything). Secondly, allocate more memory to Distiller. This would seem the most likely problem area. I guess I could have answered this question with one line. Allocate more memory to Distiller. __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 9-Feb-1999 20:30:22-GMT,1843;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id NAA18409 for ; Tue, 9 Feb 1999 13:30:21 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA09397; Tue, 9 Feb 1999 14:22:57 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 9 Feb 1999 14:18:19 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA08973; Tue, 9 Feb 1999 14:18:18 -0600 From: robert.richard@hrdc-drhc.gc.ca Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 15:01:39 -0500 Message-ID: X-Priority: 3 (Normal) To: Subject: [PDF] Tables: Rows & Columns in pdf.

The PDFwriter is dependent on the video driver for the creation of a PDF. You may also have a video driver conflict that could be corrected by updating your video driver version, restarting in VGA and printing with PDFwriter would be a good test before going through that hassle though ........ The other thing to keep in mind is when in doubt use the current version of Distiller.

We won the contract based on letting all the individual franchisees customise each flyer in terms of being able to pick and choose from a range of "canned" headlines and text as well as add information peculiar to them. Currently this is all done via fax and is a real nightmare. My job is to make it easier. I have been playing around with pdf forms, making button fields with javascript to change pdf images made from illustrator files for the headlines and other graphics. There are also standard text form fields. My thought is franchisees could go to a web site, pick the base flyer they want (pdf hypertext link), open it in the browser with Reader, select graphics from the server and add text in the fields, and export form data back to the server, where a pdf file would be generated "on the fly". Franchisees would then download this for final proofing, while another copy would get routed to a directory awaiting imposition and printing. What PDF tools would enable this workflow, what components or steps would be required to get it going? Can you suggest a better way? I have already checked out the FDF Merge product -- it doesn't support graphics in the FDF stream (yet). Is SGML + PDF a la Advent's 3B2 hypertext builder a better way to go?

One of those documents has an embedded spreadsheet picture with simple colour shading, and the Distiller/Reader combination manages to come up with something which far from matches the original. Instead of shading, all I can see are large coloured horizontal bars - the attached zip file has a bitmap screen dump from the original Word page and a bitmap screen dump from the PDF result, just to illustrate. Furthermore, if I use Reader to zoom in on the diagram, it loses all colour completely. I'm beginning to lose my faith in PDF... any ideas, anyone?! Other similar-looking diagrams seem to come out fine. At the PS driver end, I'm using AdobePS 4.2 with the 30th January 1997 version of adistill.ppd. The problem happens no matter what colour settings I use on Distiller's 'advanced' tab. In general, I don't have much control over the content of the source Office documents. <> As usual, all help gratefully received...

One of those documents has an embedded spreadsheet picture with simple colour shading, and the Distiller/Reader combination manages to come up with something which far from matches the original. Instead of shading, all I can see are large coloured horizontal bars. Furthermore, if I use Reader to zoom in on the diagram, it loses all colour completely. I'm beginning to lose my faith in PDF... any ideas, anyone?! Other similar-looking diagrams seem to come out fine. To see the problem illustrated, please take a look at http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/jrw/shading/ At the PS driver end, I'm using AdobePS 4.2 with the 30th January 1997 version of adistill.ppd. The problem happens no matter what colour settings I use on Distiller's 'advanced' tab. In general, I don't have much control over the content of the source Office documents. As usual, all help gratefully received...

Ideally, I'd like to be able to ensure that the PDF output for each new file begins on an odd page within the whole PDF. It occurred to me that Distiller must 'know' about the total page count (it quite happily displays it as it distills) and therefore that there must be a way of modifying the bulk distill PostScript so that where the page count is even, a blank page is inserted. For simplicity's sake, the blank page could be constructed by a simple reference to a source file containing the PostScript output for a single blank page, rather than inlining equivalent PostScript - but whatever works would do just fine. So, instead of the current distillation input file, taken from the ./Distillr/Xtras model: /prun { /mysave save def dup = flush RunFile clear cleardictstack mysave restore } def (C:\\FilePath\\08_n01_W-.ps) prun (C:\\FilePath\\08_n02_W-.ps) prun (C:\\FilePath\\08_n03_W-.ps) prun the 'prun' procedure definition would have some sort of conditional code somewhere at the beginning.

When tested, having all of the 10 pdf minimized in Reader, when I opened the 11 pdf, it just close 1 pdf to keep maximum allowed.

I suspect they used Macromedia Director (http://www.macromedia.com/software/director/) enhanced with one of the following extra´s (plug-in´s): * Acroviewer by Xtramedia (www.xtramedia.com/AcroViewer.html). Description: Open, print, and manipulate cross-platform PostScript-quality PDF files using Director as the front end. * MasterApp, see http://www.Updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html. Description: Launches and controls other applications .Displays and prints Acrobat documents, Launches and controls a web browser etc. The first is a dedicated Acrobat manipulator, the latter can also be used with other programs, thus more flexible. I guess the former is easier to understand and implement. So it really is a tradeoff between simplicity and flexibility. PS To use Director you need know its´ scripting language Lingo -- it´s relatively simple to learn, but like anything else, its pretty hard to master.

If you can go back to the spreadsheet or table, you'll find that the shading is a percentage shade of a particular color. Try choosing a 100% shade of a lighter base color instead of, say, 50% of a darker base color. This solved our problem across the board. _______________________________ William Belk Publishing Technologies Manager IT Corporation, Las Vegas bbelk@ix.netcom.com Phone: (702) 245-8713 Fax: (702)647-0811 Woods, Jonathon wrote: > I'm trying to use Distiller/Reader to render documents originally in Word. > One of those documents has an embedded spreadsheet picture with simple > colour shading, and the Distiller/Reader combination manages to come up with > something which far from matches the original. > > Instead of shading, all I can see are large coloured horizontal bars. > Furthermore, if I use Reader to zoom in on the diagram, it loses all colour > completely.

But what about other types of file? Other Office applications like Excel and Powerpoint? Any suggestions for batch conversion of these to PDF? At the most general level I would be interested in a route to conversion of large archives of files to PDF format. Let's make the assumption that I have the native application available on my PC. As an example, here at ICI we have thousands of Lotus Ami Pro files, having been a Lotus shop for may years. How do I convert these to PDF? > Unattended operation is absolutely what the Local Render Command Line > Interface is designed to do. There are several people using LR for this > purpose. Someone else suggested selecting the required files in Windows Explorer, right clicking to get Print. I have tried this, having set Distiller Assistant as the default printer with no View PDF file and no Ask for PDF file destination. I just get a lot of errors from Ami Pro. I would grateful for people's suggestions.

Values in both the BoundingBox and CropBox are in PostScript units and are specified as: xll yll xur yur. Where "ll" is lower left and "ur" is upper right. A PostScript unit is 1/72 of an inch. Once you have saved the above code as an EPS file, then place the EPS on the page that is to be cropped. For the code to work effectively, select the EPS picture box and use the "Send to Back" menu command. Create a PostScript file and then distill.

I am looking for a couple of things that I am not even sure exist. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to view a PDF as if it had been sent with the separations turned on. As a composite workflow, there is no way of checking overprint/knock-out issues (i.e. drop shadows of text that are overprinting colored type). If I send the PDF with separations on, this does show me what I am looking for, but I need the PDF to be in composite form. Is there a way to recombine a separated PDF, or separate a composite PDF for viewing purposes only. Another one for you all! One of the clients that will be moving toward a complete PDF workflow has many, many versions. The press is asking for the PDFs with no crop marks. In order for the job to flow through the shop, the PDFs really need the identifying crops and file names. Is there a batch cropping function/plug-in that you could set up for a multitude of pages. The page size(s) will all be the same and the cropping information will remain constant. Is there a script or plug-in that anyone knows about?

It does have a few glitches, but those seem to be related to the quality of the PDF document itself. I will look into PDF Embedder - thanks for the reference! As far as the font embedding issue - I did not change any settings, locations or font sets that I know of. My tests last week included the following: 1. created Word doc on home computer with fonts that are not installed at work - Distilled the doc the usual way with Distiller and Assistant - e-mailed the resulting PDF file to work account - downloaded the attachment into a shared drive at work - opened the file in Exchange - confirmed all the fonts were embedded - made a few simple edits with Text Editor tool in Exchange - printed the PDF and confirmed an exact match with the original Word file I had printed at home and brought in with me 2. opened existing Word doc on office desktop - changed font in one paragraph to various fonts that didn't exist on another office desktop (repeated this test many times) - converted to PDF using Distiller or PDFWriter - opened resulting PDF doc in Reader on other desktop and confirmed that the fonts were embedded and the print-out matched the original Test 2 was repeated on another desktop on which I only loaded PDFWriter components rather than the full Acrobat package. The test worked like a charm in every case. All fonts were embedded and each print-out matched the original from the source document perfectly. I was also able to unembed the fonts when I tried to make small text edits in Exchange. Monday morning all the results changed for the worse. I ran test 2 again, first on the same Word doc as last week and also on another new Word doc, yet when I viewed the PDF doc on the other office desktop the fonts were subsetted, even though the settings for both PDFWriter and Distiller are explicitly set to EMBED ALL FONTS. I unchecked every other option under the font embedding tabs in both components, all to no avail. I haven't made another attempt since Monday as it has been very busy. Forgive the long post, but does anyone see something I may be doing wrong? I will be doing more testing over the coming weeks/months as we are hoping to start distribution by June. Of course that largely depends on what kind of OEM agreement we can reach with Adobe. Incidentally, are there any Adobe people on the list that can tell me why I can't get ahold of Alan Williams? I was given his name to contact to work out an OEM agreement and he hasn't been available all week. Am I just too impatient? I'd also be interested if anyone has any info on what kind of OEM agreement we might be looking at based on our situation. Does any list member have experience dealing with Adobe in this capacity? Again, thanks to all for your help and patience with a new list member.

Once in Word, you can then use PDFMaker, or Local Render. For batch conversions of Excel and Powerpoint you can write some simple VBA code to do this (as long as you don't want links and bookmarks). I have some code lying around that I used to do this at once stage. It's not fancy or filled with error correction/detection but it did convert 3000 files plus. Let me know if you are interested. If you are still have trouble with your Ami-Pro conversions, perhaps send me one or two of your Ami Pro files and I'll see if I can find anything that works. Unfortunately I don't have Ami-Pro so I can't generate these myself. I hope this assists. regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com PDF Vendors sign-up for PDF Store - http://www.pdfstore.com/ http://www.planetpdf.com/ __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 11-Feb-1999 0:04:20-GMT,2217;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id RAA25947 for ; Wed, 10 Feb 1999 17:04:18 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA09710; Wed, 10 Feb 1999 17:48:46 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Feb 1999 17:47:09 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA09551; Wed, 10 Feb 1999 17:47:06 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express Macintosh Edition - 4.5 (0410) Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 16:48:18 +0000 Subject: [PDF] RunDir bombs while separate doesn't From: "Dennis Walker" To: PDF Mail List Mime-version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <1293457195-114103714@mail.inpractice.net> Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com O.K., I'm stumped on this one.

It looks as if RunDir or RunFile are translating PS into PDF, much as Distiller does. What happened in my case was that the PS generators decided to close, or "end" one dictionary too many -- in this case, the UserDict, which is the second-to-last dictionary on the dict stack (hence, "dictstackunderflow"). When I removed the final "end" in my PS files, they translated into PDF without any problem. I don't pretend to know why the PDF translation runs into "end", while direct PS interpretation does not. I also don't know why the extra "end" was generated. Hope this helps. -- Most respectfully, Gunnar Blodgett Production Analyst Pre Print, Inc.

Now with the mouse, click and drag the Page number (page number is underneath each thumbnail), hold down control and it will copy the page for you! Voila, couldn't be easier. BTW you can also move pages between PDF files by using their Bookmarks (Don't hold down control).

And again only if you have access to a VB developer. I have added this to our Code Cuts site under the IAC menu - see http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?WebPageID=226 (I still have to add the colours - so bear with the plain old black text). I haven't pasted this here as it is a little loooong and I'm sure not everyone will appreciate it. I hope this helps.

It's a curious side effect of Quite Imposing that will allow you to do this but ONLY if the document contains more than 1 page. Using the "shuffle page for imposition" feature you can use a rule like "1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2" to get five copies of each of page 1 and 2 (and all other pages since the rule is repeated over and over). http://www.quite.com Aandi __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 11-Feb-1999 10:13:31-GMT,2049;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id DAA08445 for ; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 03:13:29 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id EAA16411; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 04:07:09 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 11 Feb 1999 04:01:42 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id EAA16023; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 04:01:41 -0600 Message-ID: <003701be55a4$e9de2580$b1015ed1@rich> From: "Rich George" To: Subject: [PDF] default magnification setting Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 04:57:14 -0500 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 4.72.3155.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Does anyone know of a plug-in to set the magnification of bookmark destinations?

It seems to work find for how we use it. All we did was place it on our Delphi form and as long as acrobat is installed it uses which ever ocx is referenced by Windows.

Reverse the page order with "300-1". Extract only the odd numbered pages with "1-300 odd". Get multiple copies of a page with "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3-300". The plug-in will even maintain your links.

Gunnar is correct in his diagnosis of the dictionary stack underflow (Julia would be proud!), but I too am at a loss as to why this is occurring. Can ye shed a little more light on the problem?

I understand that Nav4.5 supports the feature of NAMED DESTINATIONS that would allow us to specify within an HTML page a link to, say, a particular page within a PDF document. Is this correct and can you do this in IE4? Are there crossplatform issues? On another point is it possible for the pdf document to sit exactly full frame within the HTML browser's frame (with an invisible border) so that the viewer is unaware where the HTML document mortises with the pdf document? We also want to turn off all the tool bars and menu bars for both the Reader and the browser. Can this done? Will one need to develop a plug-in or an Active X controller to achieve this? Lastly, will Acrobat 4 support some of these ideas. Any guidance on the above would be gratefully received.

If you must use the prologue, you may have to remove a single excess "end" from epilogue.ps. Or so I have heard.

Today we're featuring in PDFzone.COM the first in what will be an ongoing series of guest articles. We've invited a number of pdf-wise folks to share their thoughts and expertise -- relevant to Acrobat/pdf -- with the greater PDF community in the weeks and months ahead. The first to step up to the mouse -- Prof. D. P. Story of the University of Akron (OH) -- is no stranger to PDFzone.COM list subscribers and Web site visitors. He's been pushing the digital envelope of advanced pdf production for quite some time, in particular integrating Tex (a mathematical typesetting system) and Acrobat Distiller to create a series of interactive, educational projects. "Algeboard," his Jeopardy-like pdf board game, was featured earlier in PDFzone.COM. With Valentine's Day only days away, we're pleased to help Dr. Story unveil the results of his most recent experimentation -- something he's tabbed a "Pdfmark Greeting Card." In effect, it's an interactive pdf form that generates a personal Valentine from data entered by a user. Along with the demo, he's documented the creation process, utilizing pdfmarks, to process in another interactive PDF, a five-page article titled "Enhancing the Text in Text Fields using Pdfmarks." Check them both out at PDFzone.COM to find out why we've dubbed Prof. Story our nominee for prestigious 'Grand Poobah of PDF' designation! * P D F z o n e .

You can distill the EPS directly, or place the file in Quark or PageMaker and then distill the PS file that includes the EPS.

If you must use the >prologue, you may have to remove a single excess "end" >from epilogue.ps. Or so I have heard. > Yes, after I posted the last message, I got to thinking about use prologue and epilogue... The standard prologue puts two dictionaries on the dict stack and epilogue pops them off. Looking at the implementation of the prun procedure and the RunDir procedure in the example files, both of them clear the dict stack after executing a file. When the epilogue is run, the first of the two end's to remove the dictionaries from the dictionary stack result in the dictstackunderflow. So, if you need to maintain spot colors by using prologue/epilogue replace the prun procedure in the RunFilEx.ps file with the following: /prun+ { /dictcount countdictstack def % count #dicts on dict stack /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure clear countdictstack dictcount sub {end} repeat mysave restore % Restores save level } def Similarly replace the RunDir procedure in the RunDirEx.txt with the following: /RunDir+ { % Uses PathName variable on the operand stack { /dictcount countdictstack def % count # of dicts on dict stack /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure clear countdictstack dictcount sub {end} repeat % Cleans up after PS file mysave restore % Restores save level } 255 string filenameforall } def Hope this helps.

Our customers use a mixture of programs - mostly Word 97 - to create their bulletins with customized macros we have built into the program to simplify the process and create some uniformity. I have been doing extensive research over the past few months into PDF and the possibility of adopting the file format and distributing portions of Acrobat (namely Distiller or PDFWriter) to our customers. The one area that may hinder our production process is when customers have last minute changes to their bulletins and call us to make those changes. Aside from the very minimal text editing that Exchange affords us, is there any way to UN-Distill the PDF file back into its original format? Are there any plug-ins that enable a PDF to .doc conversion? --0__=nJfqbEoZII1ms70UH0TGlKSukpezZpMuc8xCLQ1E6XNi1QN9YVErZV58-- __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 12-Feb-1999 15:44:14-GMT,3150;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id IAA18946 for ; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 08:44:12 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA08804; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 09:36:43 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 12 Feb 1999 09:34:15 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA08532; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 09:34:10 -0600 From: "Michael Abrahamson" To: Subject: Re: Antwort: [PDF] UN-Distilling?

I have a need to learn (as quickly as possible) how to do a CD-ROM based Index. I'm not asking anyone to provide step-by-step instructions, however I would like avoid filtering through mountains of documentation to find my answer. If anyone knows specifcs or knows of GREAT (not just good) documentation, please assist me by replying. My requirements are as follows: 1. A PDF document on a CD that automatically opens a document/page via an autorun.inf file or something like that. 2. The document that opens will be a table of contents page, with a search button. 3. The search button will allow an end-user to submit a query which will return all available documents that match the request. 4. The Index file for the contents menu/search funtion should automatically load w/the table of contents. 5. The search engine will return all files that match search request and allow the end-user to click and open.

Try creating a "Print" button and attaching some javascript like the following to the "Mouse Up" action. If you set the background color to yellow, for example, to indicate that the field needs to be filled out by the service reps, first change the backgound color of all necessary fields to white, print the form, and change the backgound color back to yellow (or not). The following code does this. It assumes that there is a field named "First_Field". Note that if the Print toolbar icon or menu item is used to print the form, this won't work. Also, set your "Print" button to "Don't Print". var field1 = this.getField("First_Field"); field1.bgColor = color.white; // repeat for all necessary fields // print the form this.print(false); // reset background color field1.bgColor = color.yellow; __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 12-Feb-1999 23:34:44-GMT,2316;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id QAA05074 for ; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 16:34:43 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA18067; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 17:28:32 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 12 Feb 1999 17:22:36 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA17621; Fri, 12 Feb 1999 17:22:35 -0600 Message-Id: <199902122322.PAA12576@crane.prod.itd.earthlink.net> X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh - 4.0c (197) Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 15:27:23 -0700 Subject: Re: [PDF] form field visibility From: "C.

My ISP say that nothing's changed. This is a most perplexing problem, and I'm really inconvenienced by it because I now have to send the files manually as attachments. (And they're selling very well - a two-edged sword!). However, it looks although the problem may be more with downloading than the PDF's themselves. Thanks for all your suggestions - I appreciate it.

To subscribe to the usually once-a-day compilation of postings to PDF-Basics, send this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this SERVER address (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto:pdf-basics-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com If you switch to the digest version after first subscribing to the main PDF-Basics list (which forwards each list message individually as it's received), you probably will want to unsubscribe from the main PDF-Basics list (see item #4). Otherwise, you will receive both versions of the list's postings. Also, you can't unsubscribe from PDF-Basics-Digest by sending to the PDF-Basics-Request address. For the purpose of subscriptions, they function as separate lists. You must send the message: unsubscribe to this SERVER address (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto: pdf-basics-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com Please note that any such SERVER COMMANDS that are sent to the LIST ADDRESS will bounce automatically -- they will not be sent to all list subscribers, and the intended action will not be taken by the server. You will not be subscribed or unsubscribed -- for all practical purposes, your posting has left the PDFzone for the Digital Twilight Zone. __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 13-Feb-1999 10:01:22-GMT,3260;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id DAA16558 for ; Sat, 13 Feb 1999 03:01:21 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA20538; Sat, 13 Feb 1999 03:55:11 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 13 Feb 1999 03:52:49 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA20343; Sat, 13 Feb 1999 03:52:48 -0600 X-Sender: prodok@pop.eunet.ch Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <3FC2C706823FD211963400805FBEDF4E3D3E6D@gsomail> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 10:20:51 +0100 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Max Wyss Subject: Re: [PDF] form field visibility Cc: "Perry, Bob" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Bob, One thing you can do is to create a "Print me" button on the forms which will first set the border color of the fields to be filled out by the service rep to "transparent", and then do the printing. Another possibility is to have "shadow fields" which do get the contents of the fields filled out by the service rep, and to make the fields filled out by the service rep "non-printable". As the shadow fields get the same contents, the end user will get the information the service rep filled in. Hope, this can help.

Does anyone know about something that could help or maybe be willing to write a Plug-in. The application is to allow selected secions from downscaled A0 plans to be printed at a Zoomed level, similar to the functionality of Aerial from "Ambia". If it could be made to work via the Reader Web Plug-in for IE, so much the better, as it is destined for an Intranet. PS! For the uninitiated who are battling to get embedded G 4 Tiff's in MS Word to distill without fuzzy edges, first go format the image in Word and change the colour from "automatic" to "black and white".

Februar 1999 14:56 An: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Betreff: [PDF] Form field properties type: numbers. PDFZone list, While working at home last week, I was able to setup several form fields on 1 pdf document: text and numbers. Plus, I was able to setup Acrobat 3.01 so that several fields containing numbers were automatically tabulated or totaled up. This morning, at work, I am using Acrobat 3.0 with 3.01 license and I cant find the options needed to setup numbers in the form fields and have Acrobat tabulated them as described in my first paragraph. I have search Acrobat On-line guides and "The PDF Bible" with no success. To me, it looks really weird. I better ask System Specialist in our building to update Acrobat version to 3.01. When I select the form fields option in Acrobat 3.0, I dont see the said numbers selection in the "Field Properties: Type". I believe that Acrobat 3.01 has this option and that version 3.0 does not? Simple yes or no would be appreciate. Thanks.

My ISP say that nothing's changed. This is a most perplexing problem, and I'm really inconvenienced by it because I now have to send the files manually as attachments. (And they're selling very well - a two-edged sword!). However, it looks although the problem may be more with downloading than the PDF's themselves. Thanks for all your suggestions - I appreciate it.

On one system you have downloaded and installed the "form author update"; on the other you have not. It's very important to realise these features are provided by an update, because you will need to ensure all your users have the "form filler update" if you do use new features.

The Forms 3.5 plug-in does not work with Exchange 3.0. The upgrade to Exchange 3.01 is essentially free of charge, and you should have received the CD automatically (supposed that you are registered to Exchange 3.0). The Forms 3.5 plug-in can be downloaded from Adobe's website. Hope, this can help.

Lexmark company says that my printer is a Windows base and not a host based printer: not a Postscript printer. Even though that I dont have what it needs to use distiller, is there a workaround for my situation. I really dont need a Postscript printer at home or even plan to purchase one. Any suggestions?

When I go to view these files I get the following results: http://web.uvic.ca/reco/transcripts/transcript.pdf The above file loads correctly every time with Acrobat Reader. No problem here. Here are a few of the URL's I am having problems with: http://web.uvic.ca/reco/oar/pdf/applicationbc.pdf http://web.uvic.ca/reco/oar/pdf/applicationout.pdf It is always these files that do not load correctly. When I go to them for the first time it says loading plugin at the bottom of my browser and the Acrobat Reader application gets loaded, but the page is just an empty browser. I can hear some noise as if it is grinding away at the document. It is only when I hit the Back Button and then the Forward Button that the PDF file loads in my browser with Acrobat Reader. I have tried other people's computers and I get the same problem. I have also tried other computers and there is no problem. I have tried different versions of netscape and I still get the same problem. I am currently using Communicator 4.5 running on a Macintosh PPC using OS 8.1. I have called the Adobe support line and they cannot offer an explanation. I have talked to our web administrator and he can't figure it out. It loads okay on his computer. AS well I have used my own computer as a web server and the pages do load correctly every time. Any help would be much appreciated as this problem is very frustrating.

If your company matches this profile, I invite you to attend our project website (http://www.dMACS.org) and complete the short questionaire that we have prepared. The information gathered will be used to compile a product index that will appear within all of the industry deliverable materials that we will be producing, including our Workflow Cookbook, Interactive CD, and On-line Initiative. The dMACS Project is being operated under the aegis of Magazines Canada (a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development of the Canadian consumer magazine industry) with the guidance and support of its Technical Standards Committee and key industry players. The initiative is currently studying the impact and effectiveness of CGATS.12 PDF/X-1 & X-2 and DCS 2.0 workflows as they pertain to digital advertising delivery, having earlier endorsed the use of TIFF/IT-P1 (ISO 12639). We especially want to hear from you if your products find application central to the use of PDF in magazine advertising environments, but we welcome input from all high-end PDF industry vendors.

If you have questions, send them directly to the author. And -- *ONE MORE TIME* -- a number of subscribers continue to bombard the rest of the list with the full-text of previously posted messages to which they are replying. As has been stated here several times recently, this is becoming a significant source of wasted bandwidth, one we've so far tried to get under control with friendly reminders. However, we are now sending final notices (privately) to those who continue to ignore these reminders -- thereby violating the list's Netiquette policies. If these wasteful and inconsiderate habits continue, we may be forced to take more drastic steps that could include suspending persistent violators from the lists. We hope the situation can be dealt with in less punitive ways -- but if not, we'll do what's necessary to keep the lists from being overwhelmed by recycled postings. - PDFzone.COM === >If your company matches this profile, I invite you to attend our project >website (http://www.dMACS.org) and complete the short questionaire that we >have prepared. __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 15-Feb-1999 21:28:12-GMT,2992;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id OAA18701 for ; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 14:28:08 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA00863; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:21:00 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:19:16 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA00778; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:19:14 -0600 Message-Id: <199902152119.PAA00765@everglades.binc.net> X-Sender: consult@pop3.cybercable.fr X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0.2 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 22:20:49 +0100 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Franck Filhoulaud Subject: [PDF] Acrobat Reader / Exchange 4.0 ?

Lexmark company says that my printer is a Windows base and not a host based printer: not a Postscript printer.< There are two significant vendors that slap escape codes in their print streams if you use the native MS and/or vendor drivers (HP & Lexmark). This prevents packages that try to treat or repurpose print files from working as expected. To overcome these nuances, use the Adobe PS drivers and the selected PPD's from each vendor. You will now have clean postscript files and can distill to your heart's content. michael "In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is." __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 15-Feb-1999 21:45:34-GMT,2771;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id OAA19071 for ; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 14:45:31 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA02562; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:42:50 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:41:31 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA02403; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:41:30 -0600 Message-ID: From: Cynthia Leslie To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] Survey, **EDIT Reminder** Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 16:41:28 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com RE<> In response to your requests, I have refrained from and will continue to refrain from including the full text of previously posted messages in my replies; because you are hosting the list and because participation in the list is valuable to me. However, I feel compelled to point out that I find it much easier to follow the threads if the full text is carried in each message. When people strip out previously posted text, the threads are harder to follow. This is an important issue for me because I don't always read each message completely, as my time is limited. I believe that a couple of other folks have expressed similar thoughts.

If the list owner is so bandwidth concerned, why not eliminate this "feature" and send the list the same text periodically throughout the month or once a week instead of in "every" message. Talk about wasted space, bandwidth and general irritant....... Is it really that critical for the entire list to know in every message that the list is hosted by pdf zone? Would it be that hard to turn the headers and footers off for 25 days a month? If you can change them periodically they can be left off as well.

You should check your Acrobat disk and see if it contains the AdobePS print driver. You should use this driver when you want to create a PostScript file for Distiller to distill. It might have already been installed with the Acrobat intstallation, check the Start->Programs->AdobePS if you have this program, you will be able to create a new printer that is specific to Distiller. Have a look at the documentation that came with Acrobat, as it should outline the necessary steps.

Oh puh-leeze. If everyone "worked" the list correctly (and as admonished), then the substance-to-bandwidth ratio would go UP, not down. Full re-posts are NOT necessary to "follow the thread".

I cannot speak for the list admin, but this is done (I suspect) for several reasons. 1. Numbers of folks jump on and off this list. 2. Many "lurkers" are not list-savvy, and need the easiest-possible way to access the originating site for help with digests, suspending membership, etc. Otherwise, as used to be the case, the list would be constantly bombed by folks asking the list-serv equivalent of "where's the bathroom". BELIEVE ME, that's a waste of bandwidth! 3. PDFZone does us all an AMAZING service in hosting and maintaining the various list-servs available through PDFZone. Why should they not advertise that fact here?

Those who know for sure cannot say, I'm sure. There has to be a very strong reason to add a new type of compression to PDF, since it destroys backwards compatability. Adding a new compression puts significant demands on PDF developers and I think it would be premature to adopt either technology. By the way, group 4 is not "TIFF group IV" but part of the CCITT Fax standard, a system originally devised for fax machines and adopted in both PDF and TIFF. I make this point, which may seem trivial, because many people believe they will find complete TIFF files embedded inside a PDF. This is not true, though you may find all of the image data from one. Aandi -----Original Message----- I want to know when Acrobat Reader 4.0 and Acrobat Exchange 4.0 will be available ? And Acrobat Reader 4.0 shall exist with Search plugin, as Acrobat reader 3.01 with search ? If yes, this plugin will it modified ? At the End, Does Cartesian compression (http://www.cartesianinc.com) or DejaVu compression (http://djvu.research.att.com/) will incorporated in Acrobat, as today, Tiff group IV and Jpeg. Thanks F.

You do not need a PostScript printer, you just need to install the DRIVER for one. This is a piece of software you already have. You do that in the usual way for your operating system (if you need tip, let us know which system).

The vast majority of the 2,000+ subscribers read the list for helpful nfo about Acrobat & pdf, not for policy squabbles. -- >BOTTOM LINE: The quality of my contributions to this list and the benefits >that I derive from this list have suffered and will continue to suffer >because of this policy. _______________________ * Beneath the Bottom Line * _______________________ This policy has *always* been in effect; the only thing that's changed is that now with some 2,000 subscribers & growing -- PDF and PDF-Digest combined -- we feel a more urgent need to request compliance so as to keep the list traffic manageable. Constant recycling of the full text of old messages might be 'more convenient' for a few, but all things considered, it is *not* a positive thing. First, there are more subscribers to PDF-Digest than to the main PDF list -- and it's those subscribers who especially feel the brunt of this problem (We know because they tell us!) -- in the form of bloated digests that require scrolling over and over past the same text. To paraphrase your comments, *their* time is *also* limited -- and many don't have the extra minutes and hours it takes over a period of time to wade through multiple postings of the same exact text. Second, it contributes to the Net's wasted bandwidth problems, sending data that serve little or no purpose to hundreds/thousands of servers world-wide -- and back again. If anyone wants to see a particular discussion thread all together, they need only visit the list's Web-based archive. I can be searched, or browsed by date, author or thread. And it doesn't offer convenience to one group at the *expense* of another. In addition, some email programs allow users to archive email list messages and view them by thread, if desired. There is not a one-fits-all solution here; likewise, we do not set policies so we can play dictators -- we have plenty of "real work" to handle, as do most subscribers. We have established policies that we believe contribute to discussions that are informative, that stick to the topic and that do not burden a majority of list subscribers for the convenience of a few. __________________________________________________________________ March 3 is "PDF Day" at Seybold Seminars/Boston '99 Qualify to win drawing for software & books by registering at: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * __________________________________________________________________ 16-Feb-1999 2:14:16-GMT,3478;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id TAA24481 for ; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:14:13 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA19392; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:52:22 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:50:16 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA19193; Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:50:11 -0600 Message-ID: <36C8D017.99365D62@texas.net> Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:55:36 -0600 From: Robert Casey X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] PDF Files - Byte Serving References: <199902152024.OAA28808@everglades.binc.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com > I have made several PDF files using Adobe Pagemaker 6.5 (Macintosh version). > I have uploaded these files to our internet server. > > It is always these files that do not load correctly.

Some suggestions: 1) Be sure that you change the default value on the Acrobat Reader on Preferences - General - Allow background download of entire file where it is not checked. 2) Launch Acrobat reader before you access the PDF file on the Internet. There appears to be some bug in Acrobat to ignore the download option on the first PDF file accessed. If you use any button that results in a page change, the download will stop. The PDF file is very unstable while downloading and changing pages while it is downloading caused me problems in reliabililty and performance. I have some Ventura Publications that no matter what I do, the PDF files work fine on a local system but hang up Netscape and Acrobat every time after the first page downloads. It seems like your problem is similar.

Last night, at home, I did investigate trying to install a PPD for use with my Distiller 3.01. First of all, I visited Adobe.com to make the following download: PostScript Printer Driver AdobePS 4.2.4 for Windows 95 & 98 -- U.S. English. With Winzip, had some difficulty, I was able to open and install said driver. During installation, it ask me to select which port to use. In the following sequence, I first selected the LPT1 (My Lexmark printer port), Communication Port 1 & 2. Each time, I had no success to print a pdf document to distiller. Also, I did try to print a Microsoft Word 6.0 document with the said PPD, but I was unsuccessfull. I really dont have enough knowledge on ports. Which one should I choose? Plus, now, I realize that with all the trials & errors, I now have multiple PPD Adobe 4.2.4 in my print selections. How and where can I delete the ones that I dont need? Secondly, should I convert my Microsoft Word 6.0 documents to .eps format before distilling? I remembered reading this on pdfzone.list and Acrobat on-line tutorial. Is Corel WordPerfect 8.0 compatible with Adobe Acrobat 3.01? Thanks for patience and help with this request.

Yeah but who cares, you can have a version of Reader in Swahili now. ;-) Check out the FAQ as well - *loads* of new features only work on the Windows version - SelfSign, Document comparison, Structured bookmarks, Web capture, Office integration, Drag and drop PDF creation (hm, I could already do this on my Mac), E-mail support. Grr. As an owner of the Mac version of Acrobat 3.0, I see very little reason to upgrade. Support for Unix is also conspicuously absent from any of the promo puff. I've noticed several Adobe engineers on Java mailing lists, I wonder if they're doing an Acrobat reader for Java? Java 2D's quite rich enough to render PDF, I believe. (Of course it'll run like a complete hound, but that hasn't stop Java so far.) Chris __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

We found a web site where we downloaded a fix for it. There is also a commercial program called 'nukenabber' which will not only prevent it, but also help identify the offending party. We've been told that a good firewall will prevent this kind of thing, although, like viruses, there are new nukes propagated on the web all the time. The fix we implemented had something to do with our 'winsock' our tech department tells me. You might try going to Yahoo chat, computer lobby, and seeing if anyone there can give you direction, or else check the windows web site.

Screen shots. We are taking screen shots of an AS/400 session. When we print them, there is something happening that we can't figure out. The fonts in the shot are all askew. Some letters are very heavy and unreadable, some are running into the next, and so on. If we take the shot on a simple screen (with only a few lines) it comes out perfectly! If it is a busier screen, then this happens. We can take the shots a number of ways - either through a third party utility, through windows, etc. They come in all right, but we cannot print the more complex screens. We are using Frame 5.5.6 for Windows 95, 64MB RAM, and printing to HP5si printers. We are also using Reader 3.01RA (with the PCL patch). Any ideas? We are at the end of our rope.

Screen shots. We are taking screen shots of an AS/400 session. When we print them, there is something happening that we can't figure out. The fonts in the shot are all askew. Some letters are very heavy and unreadable, some are running into the next, and so on. If we take the shot on a simple screen (with only a few lines) it comes out perfectly! If it is a busier screen, then this happens. We can take the shots a number of ways - either through a third party utility, through windows, etc. They come in all right, but we cannot print the more complex screens. We are using Frame 5.5.6 for Windows 95, 64MB RAM, and printing to HP5si printers. We are also using Reader 3.01RA (with the PCL patch). Any ideas? We are at the end of our rope. If youcan solve this, I will name my first-born after you!!!!!

Details are available at www.adobe.com. The product will be shown publicly at Seybold March 2, and March 24 at the Phoenix Acrobat SIG. Acrobat 4.0 will ship in late March. Pricing apparently will remain the same at $295 list for a new version, and $99 for upgrades. Adobe hasn't released prices to dealers yet, so I can't say what the street price will be. If you are a corporate FrameMaker user (10 users or more) and have a Frame maintenance contract, the Frame maintenance contract does not cover Acrobat. You have until March 11 to add Acrobat to your contract at a special price. Contact your dealer or Adobe sales rep for details. FrameMaker users who do not have corporate (10 or more) maintenance agreements will have to buy individual upgrades for Acrobat 4.0. I've been beta testing 4.0 with FrameMaker 5.5.6 and it works great. Adobe will demo Acrobat 4.0 at the next Phoenix Acrobat SIG meeting, which is 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, March 24 at the corporate APS building at Arizona Center, 4th Street and Van Buren in downtown Phoenix. We will be in the second floor conference room. Keep in mind you will have to pay for parking either on the street at a meter, or in a garage. In addition: * APS (a 4.0 beta tester) will give us their comments on 4.0, and * We will see a demo of EZ-PDF "The easiest way to create PDF files for any use" http://www.acquiredknowledge.com. The product is being updated for 4.0. This is a secured building, so please RSVP so you can be on the sign-in list. Regards, Carl Carl L. Young DigiPub Solutions Corp.

I've experienced it myself when creating PDF files originating as Microsoft Word documents. There's quite a lot of discussion about this at www.adobe.com (go to User Forum for Acrobat-Win). Most folks who report the problem are using Microsoft Word to create the document; I think a few people have mentioned having the problem when using other apps to create their docs. A gentleman named Thomas Geschwender has come up with a workaround that seems to work for a lot of people, including me. He has documented the workaround instructions in a PDF file, which I have e-mailed to Rick Sapir. If anyone else would like it, let me know and I'll e-mail it. -----Original Message----- From: rick.sapir@glbsoft.com [mailto:rick.sapir@glbsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 1999 2:35 PM To: Cynthia Leslie; pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: RE: [PDF] Stupid, stupid screens I use both methods.

What gives? DOES Acrobat 4 edit and import images (on a page) now or not? (Not that I expect to get an answer before late March, but posing the question addresses the issue at least.) Also, there is NO mention of their key pitfalls.

This one is fixed in the Reader 3.02 package (and I think the current 3.01 Reader with Search). So, you'd get the Reader 3.02 package. If you have an older version of Reader 3.01 with Search, updated with the Forms 3.5 Filler plug-in, you simply install the Reader 3.02 package over it. Otherwise, depending on the Search feature, you uninstall your current Reader and install the Reader 3.02 package. On the other hand, according to today's announcements, this reasoning may already be moot, and you might try Reader 4. Hope, this can help.

You can also do a few things with JavaScript. Hope, this can help.

I have a few clarifications on this matter. When I print using Acrobat Distiller 3.0, the "Print To File/File Name (*.prn)" is showing as is. I have tested replacing the "(*.prn) with either (*.ps) or (*.eps) to print a WordPerfect 8.0 document to a folder. Then, I used "File Open" option in Acrobat Distiller to distill said WP 8.0 document. Following this action, I use Acrobat Exchange 3.01 to open file saved. It opened as a normal pdf document no problem. If I kept the suggested format (*.prn), Distilling did not work. What is the reason for changing the .prn to either .ps or .eps format? What is this .prn ? Is there something wrong? Thanks for replying to this email. Same goes to John Donaldson tips. Robert Richard (At home). John Donaldson wrote-------------------------- ...Choose FILE: as the port since there is no physical device to print to. If you don't you have to select to print to file on the print dialogue options. Also: for best results, when the Adobe printer installer asks you to select the PPD to setup the printer navigate to the Acrobat3\Distillr\Xtras folder and choose Distiller 3.0.

Using ABCPY.INI is most definitely NOT a violation of the license agreement. What's not allowed is using your own installer to completely bypass the InstallShield SETUP program that's supplied by Adobe. You can extend it using ABCPY.INI, or you can even invoke it from within your own Setup program (something I do a lot), but you can't legally install the Reader without it. Let's hope that this same scheme, or better, is still present in the new Version 4 product.

While I'm flattered by this, I'm not sure I want the pressure of being the only PDF reader for Unix :-) On the other hand, I've already made some serious improvements in font rendering (using t1lib now, and eventually FreeType). This should take care of the biggest drawback of xpdf. (No, t1lib support is not in the current release - but it will be in the next one.) I didn't see any sign of a new PDF reference manual (or update for the old one) on Adobe's web page. But that's not too surprising -- I hope they'll publish it in March when they do the official Acrobat 4 release. > I've noticed several Adobe engineers on Java mailing lists, I wonder if > they're doing an Acrobat reader for Java? Java 2D's quite rich enough > to render PDF, I believe. (Of course it'll run like a complete hound, > but that hasn't stop Java so far.) My Java port of xpdf ("jpdf") runs reasonably well, especially with a JIT system. It's obviously not as fast as xpdf, but it's a lot faster than I initially expected. I've played around with Java2D, and it works reasonably well for PDF display. I haven't yet tried messing with embedded fonts, since I just recently added that support to xpdf. I'm curious as to what sort of market there would be for a Java PDF viewer (or PDF parser engine for whatever purpose).

It's obviously not as fast as xpdf, but it's a lot faster than I initially expected. I've played around with Java2D, and it works reasonably well for PDF display. I haven't yet tried messing with embedded fonts, since I just recently added that support to xpdf. I'm curious as to what sort of market there would be for a Java PDF viewer (or PDF parser engine for whatever purpose).

BUT, we have some big Sun servers and we naturally do our work on there. And no, we _don't_ run NT -- no need. We can run distillers all day, everything flows right through. Nice. If Adobe doesn't support UNIX Distiller in 4.0, then we will have to (1) Stay with the old version forever. Forget about support. (2) Delve into NT with an NFS mount? Install all our fonts on the PC. Shunt all work off the server through the PC. This sounds like ``fun''. (3) Look into Ghostscript? I don't have anything against adding features for Word users, but as Aandi (I think) says, it ain't a publishing system. Perhaps Adobe is more worried about integrating individual user files into a flow to the web than about publishing/printing concerns -- I have no idea what number of UNIX licenses they sell. But doing without Distiller would be a serious disruption. All you PC guys, imagine that you'll ``just'' have to send all your PS through a Mac to get PDF. But hey, you've still got Reader! Or, perhaps everything will come out fine. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway . . . -- Chris Hamlin chamlin@aip.org My employer could agree with some of the above, I'm not really sure. __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

ONLY Mac & Windows versions -- for English language users -- are being offered during this special pre-release period.

For full explanation see below, thanks. Justin Blocksom jblocksom@printandpub.com ---------------------- I have had this issue, and solved it using Distiller instead of PDF Writer but I am at a loss to explain exactly why. Is there a technically oriented person that can put this into words? Problem: Font substitutions and font "crashes" (fonts lying ontop of one another-all kerning is totally skewed, especially with mixed italicized/bolded text on the same line and special characters i.e.. - *(){}[]% etc. (all PDF's are on the PC, most using only standard 13 fonts or extended families of standard 13) Problem often is never visible in PDF file, only occurs when printing to a DocuTech 135 or 6180. Sometimes problem does not occur when printing to the DocuCentre 220ST (our Xerox office digital copier.) However, in all cases, checking the font character information, (Edit - Text attributes - Character) there is a huge difference between the em kerning between words and the em kerning between the letters. Often 50-150 em difference. The DT135 and 6180 goes through a Xerox DocuTech Network Server where the postscript file is ripped and interpreted. The DocuCentre 220ST does not. Problem is fixed when Distiller is used. I believe this has something to do with the font matrix/spacing/kerning information that is present but not honored by PDF Writer. Here is where I am at a loss to describe what is occurring. Is anyone familiar with this and can articulate this so that I can wrap the my mind around the why better? Thanks.

I am indeed using Adobe's PS driver 4.2.4, and my PPD version/number is 2017.801. The problem was solved, and here's the work around (and all the issues that arose) 1. The AS/400 emulator used a proprietary font that is embedded in the code, and is unavailable as either a TT font or Type1 font. The font that is displayed has characters that are very close together, and it seems that the PCL printers can choke on them. SOLUTION - I found a monotype TT font that is as close to the original as possible (supplied by the vendor) and changed the AS/400 display to use the TT font as well. 2. When importing a graphic into Frame, Frame always wanted to resize the graphic depending upon the dpi resolution that we specified. If the EXACT width:height ration wasn't matched in the original screen shot, then Frame's resize would skew the graphic. SOLUTION - For some reason, when combined with the TT font, TIFF files come in fine (as long as the AS/400 display window was sized to show the TT font proportionally - and that is done with the human eye!). They could even be resized (smaller) in Frame and in one case the quality was even better. However, you must resize the graphic keeping the same ratio ( & drag) I have taken five screen shots, each consistently showing excellent quality in the final PDF. Considering three repetitions in science is considered an infinitely repeating pattern, five consistent screen shots in a row *SHOULD* indicate a solved problem. Again, thanks not only for the responses, but the speed with which you responded. Have a great day!

Or am I missing something?) b) PDF Writer files print fine to the DocuCentre 220ST (which does avoid the RIP but why isn't PDF Writer causing the problem here as well?) My, this thing is confusing. Any other ideas?

Of course, submitForm is available, but the function does not actually create an FDF file with the form data. In other words, a user could enter form data via Reader, export that form data into a local FDF file, then click on the FDF file which will call the local PDF file and populate the form fields. Any possibilities here?

You can test this for yourself by running the Reader with the plug-in under Netscape 4 or newer (forget about MessyExplorer) and to submit the form to a mailto: URL. Then check what you get. There is no way to even create a temporary FDF with Reader. There are a few other ways to exchange data between various forms, but not with a temporary FDF. Hope, this can help.

Some of them include about 500 Forms fields ! The data to be entered do not have to be processed, we need only to save filled forms with other pieces of documentation into electronic PDF folders. The only problem consists in drawing all these nice little boxes (about 10,000 over 200 PDF pages). Before Forms 3.5 announcement, this job would have been a living Hell. By chance, it is now possible to duplicate, align, size arrays of fields. But my last problem is that duplicated fields imply duplicate fields names. I don't care about fields names - I won't use them - but Acrobat requires they are all different as separate fields. Then I have to click again every field for changing field name. I have got away from Hell thanks to Forms 3.5 , but that is still Purgatory ... Does anybody know a possible Heaven : how automate separate names ? I find nothing about such a feature from documentation. Michel Lausseur Aalto Consultant __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

Lets see... You can submit Acrobat form data to a web server with a browser using Reader. A (CGI) script on a web server can create FDF files. A workstation can run (free) web server software. So you can use Reader, with other software, to create a local FDF file. You would have to write a simple CGI program to do the work of writing the FDF file to disk. The FDF toolkit makes it easy, but even without it, it is not too complicated. This is, of course, a roundabout way of doing it, and not feasible to implement for many users, but it does work.

Since Adobe has not made the Reader+Search combination available for download for a very long time now (ever since the 3.02 "fixes"), the only logical conclusion is that Verity (the author of the Search plug-in) has renegotiated their agreement with Adobe so that users of the "free" Reader are charged a royalty if they need the Search tool. This is a real shame, since all of the PDF products I make rely on Search; fortunately, I don't need any of the new Acrobat 4 features, so I'll just continue to distribute the free 3.01 Reader+Search on my CD-ROMs until the download and/or licensing situation changes again. If anyone from Verity and/or Adobe would like to refute or confirm my conclusions about licensing of the Search plug-in, I'm listening... re: >when you select this option the file size jumps to 5.2 Mb (from 4.9Mb), this >is the OLD version of Reader 3.02(As there is no such thing for 4.0 yet).

Forms 3.5 is an enhanced Forms Plugin Adobe announced last year ; it includes "Forms Author Plugin" and "Fill-in plugin". One can download them from Adobe web site, and install them into Exchange 3.01.

Depending on the settings, it will create field names with the pagenumber preceding the "base" name. I know that the Template function is not very well documented, but it is rather straightforward, and it seems to work reasonably well ... at least in the few tests I did. And some of the pages I did apply the Template function to had about 300 fields, most of them buttons with icons. You may expect a certain time lag, but if Exchange has enough resources available, it should be stable. Hope, this can help.

Imagine my excitement then, when I downloaded Arcobat Reader 4.0. "Even better printed results" I thought. Not so. Admittably, I haven't played around with any options, but at the moment, the print quality is a lot worse than when using Reader 3.01RA. Has anyone else had this problem? Or found a solution yet?

My main concern was that the version 4 installer checked for earlier versions (2/3) and removed them to avoid multiple installs of Acrobat. HP are the worst culprits as they have modified the installer they send out with their CD writer package to install acrobat into a folder called \program files\olmview. Anyone have any idea if this is resolved on version 4 ? Paul Complete Picture London __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

Snip Kewl Max ! Maybe I'm a bit gun shy but in these dry economic rationalist times....anything is possible ! For one horrible moment I thought we wereheading down the same track as the abortive Apple Quicktime 3.x licence *adjustment* from about a year ago. Of course US$15 for a CD which includes the rights to include installers in CD-ROm projects is of inconsequential cost to a developer. I suppose previous posts are on the button when they suggest that in this way Adobe have an accurate way of paying Verity for their search plug-in ?

I agree that regular users would not have a problem but Acrobat is a viewer for all to use. IMHO the default should be that it removes the earlier version the installer in the V4 beta didn't remove version 3. Paul.

If you can get the Reader CD in bulk, it will cost way less. Also, again from past experience, the full Reader package is also on the Acrobat CD, so that you can copy it from there.

There are links to various language versions of some version of Acrobat, but I wanted US/Acro4. I finally hit the Download Acrobat icon, expecting to be taken to the adobe site for the old versions, but no, this turns out to have been the right thing to do. Not the obvious thing to do, mind you. How about a simple "Yo! Dummy! Click here to get Acrobat 4!" That's more my speed. 2) I filled out all the stuff on the D/L form, got taken to yet another form, dutifully filled it all out and was told to pick the version I wanted from a list box ... and that the download would start automatically when I clicked on a choice. a) That's not very good interface design. User should choose an object (ie, the version) then an action (ie, click here to start download) b) But the above is irrelevant, 'cause no matter what or how or where I clicked, nothing happened. 3) So I go to the Having problems with this download page and dutifully fill in yet another form, at least up to the part where it asks for the url of the page I was having trouble with. Um. Who knows? I'm supposed to jot these down as I go??? But I wanna be a good citizen here, hit the Back button, which seems to take me to some other Back than I was just at. Grrr. Forward to the form again, figure I'll just type "Don't Know" and describe the problem. No such thing ... the form's all been reset. Home, James, this day's gone on too long already! I'm not peeved, not complaining, hell it's free and you guys deserve a couple jumbo Attaboys for making it available. Just thought you might like to know about this. FWIW, MSIE3.02, Win95. Any ideas?

Would you > have any references to books. Also, could you give an example of a CGI > script. Is this stuff readable? The software requirements are: 1. Browser 2. Acrobat Reader 3. Web server software 4. CGI program (script) You will also need some PDF forms, which are (usually) created with Acrobat Exchange. The first two items are easy. Item #3 takes a ~little~ work. You can use freeware web server software (check out http://winfiles.com for Windows web servers). What you do is set up a web site on your machine that you access locally (i.e., http://localhost/). You then make the PDF forms available on the web site (e.g., (http://localhost/form1.pdf). The PDF form will then be displayed in your browser and can be filled out and submitted (e.g., http://localhost/cgi-bin/form1.exe). When it is submitted, a CGI program is executed which can create an FDF file. The server software must be properly configured to serve PDF files. This involves setting up a MIME type for PDF (application/pdf) and FDF (application/vnd.fdf) if you want to return FDF data to the browser. For item #4, for Windows (95, 98, NT), Visual Basic can be used to write CGI programs. Using the VB CGI interface CGI4VB (http://pweb.netcom.com/~obrienk/index.html) and the ActiveX FDF toolkit from Adobe, you could write a simple program to create an FDF file from the posted form data. Of course, other programming languages could be used to write the CGI program. Regarding your question about the readablity of the CGI scripts: if you are not a programmer, or have some programming experience, I would say the source code is not readable. But a general purpose program could be written that would take all form data and write it to an FDF file, so that you wouldn't have to bother with programming at all, if someone were kind enough to create such a program. (I'll look into it if there's any interest.) If you wanted the data to go to a database, you would have to do some programming. If you're interested in doing your own programming, get all the information on PDF forms from the Adobe web site. All of this only make sense if you are going to set this up on a machine that does not have Acrobat Exchange, since Exchange can create FDF files. It ~may~ make more sense to purchase Exchange.

So it can't be *quite* as confusing as you've made it appear. I've gone through the process numerous times, and never filled out so many forms. But then I'm too familiar with the steps to judge the challenges others might experience with the interface. Nonetheless, your point is well taken and we'll take a look at ways to streamline -- or at least clarify -- the process. If anyone else has had problems, please don't post them to the entire list -- send them DIRECTLY to: As always, we do appreciate it when site visitors take time to let us know when they experience any kind of problems. As to the availability of the pre-release Readers on PDFzone.COM, some of the kudos must go to the Acrobat team at Adobe Systems who obviously helped make it possible. >1) The download page you go to when you follow this link mentions Acrobat >4, but gives no link.

We are aware, even though all of the font reporting says the layouts are identical, that our MAC text layout tends to grow when it gets to the PC. The situation has just gotten a click worse. We have a document management/web publishing system that for Word documents, converts them to PDF upon check-in. Though these files look fine in Word 97 on the PC before the PDF rendering, the page breaks are not respected in distiller many blank or orphaned pages are created. Sometimes it's as simple as deleting the last hard return to fix it. Some pages reasons for spreading are eluding us. Can anyone give any insight on this?

It's dealing with PostScript, and there *are* no pagebreaks in PS, at least not in the sense that you mean. Word plays games when you switch printer drivers on it, and most likely you're doing that prior to making PS. You mention "the last hard return" ... are you forcing page breaks by hitting the Enter key? That's not a particularly good way to do it and it'll only make this sort of problem worse. Use Ctl-Enter instead. Steve Rindsberg President, RDP - a slide imaging service bureau http://www.rdpslides.com Developers of ZAP!

You are not going to like the answer. Distiller is not doing this, Word is, and you can't stop it. You have to accept: Word is not a tool for page layout, it's just a word processor. Every time you change printer driver, the document is reflowed. Pages may break differently. If Word is used correctly this should not be a real problem. If you have, for instance, to remove hard returns at the end of pages someone is using Word as if it is a typewriter...

Our documents are mostly 2 column format but we usually don't use column breaks. Instead we simply allow the text to flow naturally into the 2nd column. Upon converting one document, however, I noticed a very slight reflow problem that caused one line at the very bottom of column 1 to jump to the top of column 2. This is a major problem for us already in that we are using Word 97 to print many Word 6 documents. I had thought PDF would solve this issue. If I convert the same document with Distiller I get no reflow. I would prefer to use PDFWriter for various reasons -- ease of use, setup, installation, the PDFWriter Office 97 macro, etc. -- but I'm not satisfied if the PDFWriter driver is going to replicate the same reflow problems we are trying to solve. Is there a way to remedy this other than the obvious point that we should educate people on using column breaks? Unfortunately we don't have a very savvy customer base so retraining a few hundred of them on using column breaks isn't our best option. Am I just expecting too much of the PDFWriter driver and Word? Thanks for any input.

When you select print from the Cover Page you have an option down the bottom which will print all of the LINKED ITEMS. This is quite clever as well as there is another option to generate a TOC (which you probably don't need). SIDE NOTE: I do this quite often, with Online Books from CD's. I print them to PS, and end up with about 100 individual PS files, I then use the PS file RUNFILEX.PS to pick up these individual files and create ONE PDF of them through distiller.

Then distill that document, and you would have most of your fields predefined. That form I was mentioning before has now something around 600 fields on two pages. And it is in the 900 kB range. And when the "Pseudo Balloon Help" system will be set up, it may get an additional 100 fields or so... Hope, this can help.

If the page break is tagged with a Heading style, it will create a separate blank page when converted to postscript. If this is so, tag the Page break with a generic Normal or body style. We use Word exclusively to create our publications and we use several print drivers (HP LaserJet IV & V, Apple ColorLaser, Xerox DocuTech 135 PS) to create out postscript files and use Acrobat Distiller to create the pdf files. They all correctly convert with the same page layouts as in Word 97.

It seems like it doesn't have the full complement of built-in fonts. I finally ended up experimenting with the various printer definitions available in NT, selected the Tektronix Phaser 540 (this printer is "true" postscipt, 600 dpi color, with the full complement of built-in fonts, and uses the postscript driver provided with NT), and "installed" a phantom printer. Because our printed books use TrueType fonts (it's been my experience that TT fonts do not distill well except in small amounts and at sizes larger than about 18 pt), I also set up a substitution table to use postscript fonts in our PDF files. Now when I generate the postscript files used by the Distiller, I select this printer. Hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck!

I am using two base 14 fonts; Helvetica and ZapfDingbats. In the document are two characters using the ZapfDingbats font. One is the lower-case "o", which looks like a check box, and the other is character "0220" (i.e. ALT+0220), which is a right-pointing arrow. I also have text using Helvetica, some of which is normal, some is italicized, and some is bold. I'm using NT4 sp3. When I use PDFWriter (v3.03) to create the PDF file, everything looks good.

It states that you can copy a form field across pages AND documents. Just forwarding this FYI. Acrobat Forms Tips and Techniques #1 Copying Fields It often takes some intense manipulation of fields to get things just right on a form. Proper coloring, sizing, actions and JavaScripts all make up a field. It is often the case that you need to make a copy of a field within a form but did you know that you can save your form fields to a separate file and copy and paste them for later use? This tip shows you the three different forms of copying that are available in Acrobat Forms Author version 3.5. Control-Drag Copy The Control-Drag Copy allows you to copy fields within the same page within a document. 1) Open this sample file (FrmTnT01.pdf). 2) Select the form tool so that you can edit the form fields on the page. 3) Select a field by clicking inside the field rectangle. 4) Click within the field and drag the field to a new location while holding down the Control key. Notice how the cursor changes with the addition of a plus sign ("+") to indicate that you are copying. You can hold down the Shift key to constrain the dragging of your field in the horizontal or vertical direction. 5) Switch back to the hand tool, notice how your new field is exactly the same as the old one. Clipboard Copy The Clipboard Copy allows you to copy fields across pages and across documents. 1) Continue using the sample file from the previous step. 2) Select the form tool so that you can edit the form fields on the page. 3) Select the two fields on the page by holding down the Control key and doing a marquee select on both fields. Notice how the cursor changes to the selection cursor when you hold down the Control key. 4) Type Control-C or select Edit*Copy from the menu bar. Your fields have now been copied to the clipboard. 5) Turn to page 2 in your sample document and type Control-V or select Edit*Paste from the menu bar. Your fields are now pasted into the center of your current view on the second page. Duplicate Fields The Duplicate Fields feature allows you to duplicate a selection of fields on many pages in a document automatically. This special feature tries to share properties and field data between fields in order to reduce file size. 1) Continue using the sample file from the previous step but return to the first page. 2) Select the form tool so that you can edit the form fields on the page. 3) Select the two fields on the page by clicking on the first field and then Shift-clicking on the second field. You can extend a multiple selection at any time by Shift-clicking on additional fields. This is more precise than marquee selection but can be more time consuming. Using a combination of the two techniques is usually your best bet. 4) Select Edit*Fields*Duplicate... from the menu bar. The page selection dialog will appear.

Many printers (e.g., HP and Lexmark printers) that emulate postscript insert additional non-postscript information in the PS files. The Distiller does not correctly interpret this extra information. Have you tried installing a "phantom" postcript printer to use for creating your PDFs? I selected the Tektronic Phaser 540. This is a true, 600 dpi, color postscript printer. It is not necessary to have the printer you specify physically present.

I will certainly take a look at it. Incidentally, I noticed in the literature for Acrobat 4.0 a reference to PDFMaker - might this be the same feature as is available for download right now, perhaps with some improvements? We are in the early testing stages for a PDF workflow and I am trying to gauge what effect the upgrade will have on all the work we are doing now. Thanks again for the info, Karl.

Depending on your schedule, you'd probably be best to wait and checkout the latest version with Acrobat 4.0. Hopefully it should address a few of the issues with converting large documents and it will save you the upgrade in the future. I don't know how long the 3.X version will be supported (could be wrong here). If you are in express mode - then the current version is ample for smaller documents. I hope this helps. regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com Planet PDF - Code Cuts, AcroBuddies and PDF Store http://www.planetpdf.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

If you indicate "http://.../your_cover.pdf" as URL , you should download all pdf detail pages linked (2 levels). After downloading, it is easy to print locally, or save, the pages you like. I am going to test this option. Of course, this feature is only avalaible with full Acrobat, nor Reader.

We currently have 150+ PDF files on a local domestic network. They are all in the same directory. They are all cross linked between each other and a major *HOME* PDF file - much like a web site. It works great. It's fast and it is easy to update and control. Users from all over the network (USA only) access this PDF site by putting a simple link to the *HOME* PDF file on their desktops. Now, they want to go world wide with it and use a Lotus Notes database to carry the PDF files. My question is, not being proficient in Lotus Notes but knowing enough to wonder..., how will Lotus Notes handle the fact that we will NOT have a directory structure. The simple *relative* links that we have in the PDF files will not know where to look (or will they?) It seems to me that a Lotus Notes database is simply a series of entries in one large database file with and index system. Each entry could have an attached PDF file representing a manual or a report, but the simple linking from one PDF to the other will be lost and the usefulness of the system, as we now use it, would be diminished. Can this (linking) even be accomplished? Any suggestions, or should I go out and get a good book on Lotus Notes? Maybe someone out there is doing this or something similar now and can point me in the direction of a web site URL or book that will walk me through it. Thanks in advance.

Can this (linking) even be accomplished?< Notes handles "links" extremely well. You do not need to include the PDF files in the DB. The larger question is how you expect to use the Notes DB for your document library? Will you use Notes to start the link to a major entry point to your PDF file and continue downstream from there? Or will you create a Notes document for each and every link? Will you use the "views" capability of Notes to present knowledge areas? Do all Notes desktops need to be standalone (like laptops off the network)? Are there WAN design issues that will delay rapid retrieval of PDF files? Are there geographical or departmental security or access issues to control who can retrieve or access the PDF files? Technically Notes is far superior to many other web servers for providing information replication and access control, while maintaining desktop OS independence. Notes supports both native retrieval/access as well as major browsers (IE, Netscape, Mosaic, etc.) I recommend you look at Lotus' web site for integrators to help determine how best to design the retrieval process. Keep your PDF files out of the Notes DB unless absolutely necessary for portability. michael Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Web server products offer true desktop and OS independence because they rely on the browser for access rather than proprietary clients. And secure access is something that can be handled very effectively by other web based products such as Glyphica's PortalWare, down to user, group, IP address, and host name restrictions on individual documents, document sets, functions, and features. Notes doesn't provide a powerful search capability for PDF files (by power, I mean hit highlighting inside the PDF file). An elegant, standard application, PortalWare doesn't require an integrator (or the expense) to provide serious library management (both data and documents) and true wide-geography access.

Keep your PDF files out of the Notes DB >unless >absolutely necessary for portability. > >michael Thanks Michael, We already have Lotus Notes installed on most of the desktops of every workstation we have all over the world. We have notes servers at many locations and things are replicated on a regular basis. Our manuals, many of them over 150 pages each (about a 100 of them) exists in PDF format for size, printing and the other obvious reasons anyone would use PDF files. Many of our manuals have links to other PDF manuals and PDF reports. Currently the links work fine in a normal directory structure as long as all the PDF files are in the same directory. Management would like to expand what we have done with the PDF file versions of the manuals by somehow using Lotus Notes since we already have it. I don't want to create anything new. I would like to somehow post the manuals (with their current relative links) in the Lotus Notes database as attachments. One would see a view of the available manuals, click on the posting for the manual, see the embedded PDF file, open (view) it and enter the first PDF file that they want to read. If while reading this manual, they come across a link that would normally take them to a new PDF file, I would hope (somehow) that it would take them to the appropriate PDF file attached to another posting in the same Lotus Notes database. I have limited knowledge of how Lotus Notes would or could do this. Possibly it can not... Your comment: "Keep your PDF files out of the Notes DB unless absolutely necessary for portability" at first glance is discouraging. We would like the users around the world to be able to *grab* a manual from the Notes DB for their laptops or downstream distribution if they want, but it would also be nice to have them archived and updated through the replication process of Notes and have the database work much like they way it does now on our network. The other solution would be to copy the PDF files to every server we have and update them manually. This seems like a *pain* since we already have a Lotus Notes system working world wide. One might ask: Why not just create the manuals in the Lotus Notes format and be done with it? The answer to this is obvious to anyone using Lotus Notes. PDF is so much better to read, print, and navigate. I would like to have the best of both worlds, but if I have to give one up, it will be Lotus Notes.

Web server products offer true desktop and OS independence because they rely on the browser for access rather than proprietary clients. And secure access is something that can be handled very effectively by other web based products such as Glyphica's PortalWare, down to user, group, IP address, and host name restrictions on individual documents, document sets, functions, and features. Notes doesn't provide a powerful search capability for PDF files (by power, I mean hit highlighting inside the PDF file). An elegant, standard application, PortalWare doesn't require an integrator (or the expense) to provide serious library management (both data and documents) and true wide-geography access. (Now you know my unbiased perspective ;~)< I think your unbiased perspective may be best responded to off list. However, I will add you seem to be biased to not knowing just how powerful Notes is. Notes doe not *need* replication, merely is a tool that provides replication when required. (It seems you may not understand why or when to provide *local* service through replication.) Domino is far superior to most Web server products and add-ons for specific document libraries and information services all in one package (inferring less finger pointing if or when problems arise). Domino does NOT require any proprietary client other than HTML support. Integrators have a need in the business world to be knowledge based and provide specific services that may not be available in a specific business support infrastructure. They also tend to be product knowledgeable and provide the best software independence while businesses respond to the dynamics of providing world class support to their market. In the meantime the corporate IS professionals are managing the support of the company. michael Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

If while reading this manual, they come across a link that would normally take them to a new PDF file, I would hope (somehow) that it would take them to the appropriate PDF file attached to another posting in the same Lotus Notes database. I have not used linking across embedded PDF files as you have described your intent. I can test this quickly and determine what the impact is. I referenced using the services of a Notes integrator, merely because IBM and Lotus use Domino just to accomplish many of the business needs you addressed. Using an integrator shortens the learning curve. I have used integrators to speed things up for development and robustness while we assume ongoing development and maintenance. >Your comment: "Keep your PDF files out of the Notes DB unless absolutely necessary for portability" at first glance is discouraging. We would like the users around the world to be able to *grab* a manual from the Notes DB for their laptops or downstream distribution if they want, but it would also be nice to have them archived and updated through the replication process of Notes and have the database work much like they way it does now on our network. The other solution would be to copy the PDF files to every server we have and update them manually. This seems like a *pain* since we already have a Lotus Notes system working world wide. My reference to keeping PDF files external merely reflected an implied assumption that you may keep this library external as well as internal to Notes. There are NO concerns to-date as to keeping PDF files in or out of a Notes DB. Actually replicating to various Notes servers or to the laptop is one of the superior functions that Notes provides over the "traditional" web servers. If configured as a Notes service on the laptop as well, you may demonstrate Web applications with various interface interaction if you are a sales organization. I demonstrate many different applications to clients without requiring a network connection. This is not a "DEMO" but the real service. Supported on Win95/98 as well as NT laptops. What I have experienced is some delays in retrieval and submission processes when a browser is used as the client, the file size exceeds 30MB and a proxy server interferes with "intranet" Web services. I can describe my exact scenario later on if you wish to learn more about this. (Netscape is the worst offender.) >One might ask: Why not just create the manuals in the Lotus Notes format and be done with it? The answer to this is obvious to anyone using Lotus Notes. PDF is so much better to read, print, and navigate. I would like to have the best of both worlds, but if I have to give one up, it will be Lotus Notes. Things just don't format properly, and the printed output never looks as good as what we get from PDF files... Point well taken. I can provide other opinions at a later time if you wish to continue this conversation. michael Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Till now I first printed even pages to ps file (even.ps) then I set Distiller to use Epilogue and distilled even.ps file to even.pdf. In epilogue.ps file I adjust cropping for even pages using pdf mark. The same steps was used for odd pages to receive an odd.pdf. After that I combined odd.pdf and even.pdf files to the whole document. My idea is to print the whole document to ps and then distill the whole ps file in one step to pdf. Here comes my question: Is it possible to set one Epilogue.ps which will use two different cropping sets, one for even pages and one for odd pages? any help will be appreciated.

Pretty simple, we do it all the time. Let us assume you have a file called contents.pdf in which you have created bookmarks to chapters, each chapter being in a separate file chap1.pdf, chap2.pdf ... chapn.pdf Open contents.pdf and replace pages from chap1.pdf and saveas chap1.pdf do the same until you have the bookmarks from contents.pdf to all your chapters. Then you could open each of the chapters and then create the second level bookmarks. You can do the same by inserting the contents.pdf before the chap1.pdf pages and then deleting the contents page. The bookmarks will remain. Hope the above is clear. Thanks and regards Satyanarayan Senior Manager Business Development Vetri Systems (A Division of Lason Systems Inc.

You would place a very small EPS file containing the appropriate command anyplace on the page. That PDFMARK command would control the cropbox of the page. The only thing you would have to make sure is that the Mediabox (also known as the paper size) is bigger than the cropped size. You will find more about the PDFMARK commands in the PDFMARK Reference Manual, being part of the documentation on the Acrobat 3.01 CD-ROM, or downloadable from the Developer section of the Adobe website. This procedure would move the decision what kind of a page you have to the document creation step. As you don't mention what software you are using, it might be more or less complicated, but as soon as the software supports odd and even headers/footers, it should work. However, in order to make it work, you would need to create the PDF through Distiller (PDFWriter is not a PostScript printer, and does not understand any PS code). Hope, this can help.

By this I mean a book which has been broken open, but was originally printed as signatures. The first sheet scanned might be 32 and 1, side by side; then 2 and 31; and so forth. The end requirement would be to end up with the reconstructed book in PDF, with the natural order of single pages. Is there scanning hardware or software, or TIFF manipulation software, or PDF processing software to make light work of this task? I am considering writing a plug-in to split the signatures (to "un-impose" if you will) but I'd rather not go reinventing any wheels.

I don't understand this concept of "signature", but your explanations about scanned "broken book" are clear, I hope I am not wrong. With Acrobat 4.0, the problem is almost solved (almost) : 1) Your original book has 2xN logical pages, but after being broken, it gives N physical scanned pages, put into A.pdf file 2) Duplicate A.pdf into B.pdf 3) Invert completely the order of physical pages of B : page 1 into N, page 2 into N-1, and so on (how do that automatically, you should have ideas, this problem is less difficult than the first one?) : the inverted file resulting is C.pdf 4) Then append C.file to the end of A.pdf : the resulting D.pdf file is a 2xN pages files 5) Then you crop pages of D.pdf, with following options (V4.0) : - Margins : adequate for cropping the right half-side of the double-page - Page Range : All pages - Crop: even pages only 6) crop again, with following options : - Margins : correct for cropping the left half-side of the double-page - Page Range : All pages - Crop: odd pages only 7) the resulting file D.pdf conforms to the original book, same pages in the same order Now, you have to find a way for inverting B.pdf into C.pdf (point 3). In addition, the resulting file is not optimized, its size will be twice the normal size, because redundant cropped pages are not really removed from PDF file. But the things of this world are not perfect ... I hope you have been courageous enough to read until the end, and that can help you.

It addresses a few issues we have and should be a great solution for us until the upgrade is rolled out. Our main concern is licensing issues. We are hoping to be able to establish some kind of open license agreement with Adobe that allows us to distribute only a few of the Acrobat components rather than the entire package. I had hoped that this would save us some money and ease our remote installation procedure (our customers are very limited in their computer knowledge). Unfortunately I haven't heard anything from Adobe that would make me optimistic about our chances of coming to such an agreement. All signs point towards having to purchase hundreds of copies of the full Acrobat, thereby wasting a wad of moolah on something we don't even need (Capture, Exchange, Catalogue, etc.). Anyway, thanks to you for referring me to the Adobe site and this great enhancement to our product development. This gives us great flexibility and automation, two things which our customers (blindly) rely upon. :) Mike Abrahamson -----Original Message----- From: Karl De Abrew To: 'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com' Date: Friday, February 19, 1999 6:28 PM Subject: RE: [PDF] Mac Word 5 - Wintel Word 97 - PDF Page breaks > > > >Hi Michael, > >> We are in the early testing stages for a PDF workflow and I am trying to >gauge what effect the >> upgrade will have on all the work we are doing now. > >Depending on your schedule, you'd probably be best to wait and checkout the >latest version with Acrobat 4.0.

Give your PDFMark EPS a bounding box like 1 x 1", place it in the app, then place any graphics you like atop it. Scale the PDFMark EPS to whatever size you want the "live area" (ie, clickable area) of the link to be, then export the whole works as an EPS. You can set this up with multiple graphics/PDFMark EPS so as to create a navigation bar or the like with multiple links. Very handy.

Certainly a lot of politics surrounding Notes. But I think they missed the point of your technical question though. As I understand it, you have a mater PDF with links to other PDF's? We have the same thing. The secondary links within the PDF files (links from your *HOME* to the next level) get "lost" when you put the PDF's in the Notes DB. Therefore we do the same as you and leave them on a Novell drive. We then build a separate web access to the PDF's via the intranet.

It took me about 2-3 hrs to figure out problem with my margins when Word document were converted to pdf. Everything look alright with the Word document, visually and when printing a paper copy. But, when printing with pdfwriter, the pdf document was partially cut-off on top part. I took for granted that my PDFWriter was gonna keep all original settings selected in Word 6.0.

The core Acrobat product and the Acrobat Reader continue to be fully cross-platform. Additionally, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files created with Acrobat 4.0 on Macintosh or Windows can be viewed and printed on 13 platforms and in 12 languages. A few features in Acrobat 4.0, including Web capture and digital signatures, were developed first for Windows. We are currently porting these to the Macintosh. -- There's also a web form for registering to be notified when the Mac features/tools become available. Related to that, PDFzone.COM has pre-release versions of Acrobat *READER* 4.0 available for downloading. rgds ~ Kurt === * P D F z o n e .

Hmmmm, OK, if that's causing some confusion, we'll take a stab at *our* use of the terms mentioned. Even moreso with v.4.0, "Acrobat" means the combined apps (Exchange, Distiller, etc ...) we're familiar with under one roof. Many already use the term to stand for the entire suite of tools, i.e. the commercial product. We (and Adobe and most of the pdf universe, it seems) differentiate by referring specifically to "Acrobat Reader" when we mean *ONLY* the free viewing and printing tool. Again, that seems to be fairly standard terminology on the PDFzone.COM lists and elsewhere. A quick flashback -- users can download pre-release versions of Acrobat READER *only* from PDFzone.COM, and NOT a late beta copy of the full commercial ACROBAT software/suite/family/product/... etc. rgds ~ Kurt === __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

I'm more than a little curious to know whether anyone else has been successful separating a 4 process + 1 spot color composited (with prologue.ps & epilogue.ps) PDF to an AGFA Viper 1.9 RIP (using in-rip seps) with .125" bleeds? As it stands, the spot color gets converted to process despite the fact that I can see it definied as a spot color within the PDF. Thanks alot!

Problem is that the bookmarks come over with a default view of Fit Width. I need bookmark view set to Fit Visible. Here is the postscript code from the template module: For i = 0 To bookmarkCount - 1 ' Write the bookmark file sRect = Str(bookList(i).r.left) + " " + _ Str(bookList(i).r.top) + " " + _ Str(bookList(i).pageWidth) + " " + _ Str(bookList(i).r.top) If (bookList(i).NumChildren > 0) Then sBookmark = "[ /Count " + Str(bookList(i).NumChildren) Else sBookmark = "[" End If sTitle = Utilities.AddBackslashToParens(Trim(bookList(i).Text)) sBookmark = sBookmark + " /Title (" + sTitle + ") /Page " + _ Trim(Str(bookList(i).DestPageNumber)) + _ " /View [ /FitH " + Trim(Str(bookList(i).r.top)) + " ] /OUT pdfmark" Print #fileNum, sBookmark DoEvents If bCancelPrinting Then Close #fileNum Exit Function End If Next i I reviewed the pdfmark Refernece Manual and it alludes to using the XYZ code instead but I admit I do not truly understand postscript code. I'm more of a technical writer who uses Acrobat to concatonate files and distribute to our customers.

There, you can choose the desired default magnification, etc. However, the fundamental problem with PDFMaker is that Adobe chose to distribute it as "hidden" macro code, meaning that you cannot change what the macro does except through the provided user interface. I would like to see Adobe adopt an "Open Source" policy toward PDFMaker. I predict that there would soon be a large number of valuable, user-supplied, enhancements to the open code.

PDFMaker is not protected at all. The only reason that it doesn't open in the Visual Basic editor is because it's active. Move the file from the startup folder (inside office), double click on it, hit alt-F11 and you can examine the code.

Ariel (and other True Type fonts) in PDFs are (a) a pain, (b) prone to problems, and (c) add obnoxiously to file size. Ideally, I'd reccomend changing to Helvetica, the "real" font of which Ariel is a cheap knockoff imitation. Text flow errors may occur, but IMHO, it's worth it. The PDFs will be smaller, better looking, (often) print faster and will NOT drop characters.

What are the issues when you want to run Distiller over the Network so that those that do not have (full) acrobat can produce PDF files? I suppose this would be thru a watched directory. Our Acrobat licenses came with FrameMaker. Does this mean that we have a license to also install (one of them?) on the network? What are the Gotcha's? We are running both Novell NDS and NT. thx - Rebecca __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

I've been to Adobe's searchable database, but found no entries that look like this. I've done all my PDF enhancements and am now attempting to burn a searchable CD. The index was the very last thing I created on my hard disk. 1. I tested the Indexing w/a search of text I knew to exist. 2. I saved my directory to another PC (which has the CD-recorder). 3. I burned the CD. 4. The finished product does auto-open, and does locate the proper (only) index, which is attached to my contents document. 5. After I enter a search criteria, a hit list comes back. Upon attempting to open/view any of the entries, I get this: "This document could not be found: it has either been moved, deleted, or you don't have permission to view it. The funny thing is the files in the "hit list" have long since been deleted and the documents have been consolidated. Why is the Index still aware of documents that do not exist? I followed the instructions on deleting an Index (just deleted the entire Index folder/sub-folders and the index.pdx file. Please help! Note: The PC I am copying my content to prior to burning the CD does NOT have Exchange loaded, so I can't re-build the Index on that PC. Is this what I need to do?

Make any and all changes to them prior to running Catalog (including wiping out any prior indexes which mount when the target docs open). Try moving everything to the master staging area, finalizing the targets, running Catalog, specifying that the splash/contents page mount the new index, and give a query another shot. You'll need at least Reader Search on whatever box you test from.

Orcutt/SCO) Subject: [PDF] Acrobat Capture/Search Question Can anyone please explain what may be causing the following error? I've been to Adobe's searchable database, but found no entries that look like this. I've done all my PDF enhancements and am now attempting to burn a searchable CD. The index was the very last thing I created on my hard disk. 1. I tested the Indexing w/a search of text I knew to exist. 2. I saved my directory to another PC (which has the CD-recorder). 3. I burned the CD. 4. The finished product does auto-open, and does locate the proper (only) index, which is attached to my contents document. 5. After I enter a search criteria, a hit list comes back. Upon attempting to open/view any of the entries, I get this: "This document could not be found: it has either been moved, deleted, or you don't have permission to view it. The funny thing is the files in the "hit list" have long since been deleted and the documents have been consolidated. Why is the Index still aware of documents that do not exist? I followed the instructions on deleting an Index (just deleted the entire Index folder/sub-folders and the index.pdx file. Please help! Note: The PC I am copying my content to prior to burning the CD does NOT have Exchange loaded, so I can't re-build the Index on that PC. Is this what I need to do?

However they do cause trouble in PDF files. Here's how we solved the problem: 1. Select and install a "true" postscript printer from the list of printer descriptions available through Windows. Be sure that whatever printer you select includes the full complement (39) of built-in postscript fonts. In our case, we've selected the Tektronix Phaser 540 Plus (it's available in both Windows 95 and NT 4.0). The printer you "install" does not need to be physically present. 2. Open the properties dialog box for your new printer and define a substitution table for your True Type fonts. It's been my experience that True Type fonts that are used extensively or in point sizes smaller than around 18pt must have a substitution. True Type fonts that are used only in small amounts and in larger sizes (e.g., headers) do not require substitution. You will probably have to experiment to find the best substitutes. Some fonts (e.g., Futura) do not have a good substitute in the standard set of postscript fonts and do not distill well in any size. If possible, avoid using them. For example, we primarily use Zurich and Zapf Calligraphic and substitute Helvetica and Palatino, respectively. In the case of Arial, Helvetica is a direct (and automatic) substitution. 3. When you print the postscript files used by Distiller, select the new printer you've defined. One side note. We've noticed that if we have several PDF files open at once, some of them appear to drop characters. However, if we close Acrobat, reopen it and then open the PDF that seemed to have problems, all of the characters are present. Although I'm not sure, I suspect this has something to do with video memory.

We set up a watched directory on the network. Everyone in the group prints to this directory. When the Distiller "sees" a file come into the watched directory, it automatically distills it. The only gotcha is that it can slow down the performance of the machine where Distiller is running.

As I mentioned earlier, it works just fine on my hard drive. Its when it gets copied elsewhere that it no longer functions. It then identifies the non-existent documents. Could this be a filename convention situation? I'm going to rename everything in standard 8.3 fmt and see what that does. This sure is a strange situation. Thanks again for any/all suggestions.

My question is the following: Can the pdf links be built directly on my own hard drive and then copy/paste the pdf documents to network server? Copying and pasting should not affect the said links.

They currently use Word97 and would not be inclined to move away from Word (to FrameMaker for example) for their source documents. I am in the process of recommending a viable/stable/rich conversion environment and I am recommending PDFMaker; it's free, it has an options environment, and it has a rich and rather intuitive conversion environment. The problem is that I am encountering resistance to purchasing Distiller licenses in addition to the Exchange licenses we have already purchased. Some say, "just use PDFWriter and you don't need Distiller." I say we need Distiller, and PDFMaker has configurable settings that work well with Distiller (I know that there is an option in PDFMaker for printing to PDFWriter, but I'm trying to get away from PDFWriter). My question is, can anyone offer pros and cons (I'm looking for mostly cons) for using the PDFWriter environment as a standalone option with Acrobat Exchange as the editing environment for notes, the adding of additional pages, and etc? I have searched for "Problems with PDFWriter" using various search engines, but nothing solid was returned. I have heard that PDFWriter does not create a true .ps file and that the end resulting file size is larger than a PDF should be.

The End User License Agreement (EULA) states: You may - Install the Software in a single location on a hard disk or other storage device on a single computer. - Provided the Software is configured for network use, install and use the Software on a single file server for use on a single local area network for either (but not both) of the following purposes: (1) permanent installation onto a hard disk or other storage device of up to the Permitted Number of Computers; or (2) use of the Software over such network, provided the number of different computers on which the Software is used does not exceed the Permitted Number of Computers. For example, if there are 100 computers connected to the server, with no more than 15 computers ever using the Software concurrently, but the Software will be used on 25 different computers at various times, the Permitted Number of Computers for which you need a license is 25. This means that you need to have licenses for each computer on which you'll be using the software, not just for each user that will be accessing the software. Here's another example: -- You have 100 computers. -- Only one person will be using the copy of Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat PDF Writer on the network server. -- That one person will be using the copy of Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat PDF Writer from 10 computers. -- You need 10 licenses: one for each computer. While the Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat PDF Writer documentation covers setting them up on a network, the documentation assumes that the EULA has been read and accepted, and that the proper number of licenses has been purchased. >< > >>Wondering....

If your company does not generate PS & deosn't need batch processing then PDF Writer is fine, particularly for Word as Word is not a high-end page layout system by any stretch of the imagination.

Max Wyss, thank you for the explanation how I can control the cropping. It is a very nice procedure. But what I am looking for is not to change the original document, because sometimes I have not original document available, but only PS files. So I was thinking whether or not will be possible before distilling of the PS file switch on in Distiller settings "Distilled with Epilogue" and use PDFMARK commands as part of Epilogue.ps file. To have possibility control different cropping for odd and even pages the PDFMARK commands must be able to use different set of cropping parameters and this settings must be controlled using page number. And this is what I want to know. Is it known PDFMARK command which has different results as a function of page number? I didn't find it in PDFMARK Reference Manual. Maybe my question is completely crazy. If yes sorry for your time.

This standard does not seem support using some characters in file and directory names (e.g., the underscore "_"). When it encounters this particular character it substitutes a hyphen "-". This renders all of my cross-document links invalid on the CD. My solution was to avoid these characters. -----Original Message----- From: Farrell, Kevin (Kevin) [mailto:kfarrell@lucent.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 1999 8:01 AM To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: RE: [PDF] Acrobat Capture/Search Question Does anyone know if using 32-bit directory and filenames would cause my situation?

As a matter of interest, a 200-pager I'm working on suddenly shot from 850k to well over 1300k in PDF format. Bedeviled me no end until I finally worked out that I'd modified the navigation bar EPS (which appears on every page) and mistakenly exported it to EPS with text as curves rather than as fonts. Cleaned that and a few odds and ends up and it's back to 825k again. Whew. Steve Rindsberg President, RDP - a slide imaging service bureau http://www.rdpslides.com Developers of ZAP!

That file size is excessive unless it contains high resolution graphics for sending to press; it is certainly too large to distribute to users. I suspect bad compression options have been used. If I can mention my own product, Quite A Box Of Tricks may help shrink the file dramatically. Try a demo. http://www.quite.com/box/ Aandi __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

I developed an 800 page reference guide. The final pdf size was about 2MB. Over the next version, it slowly progressed to being more than 2MB. Thats when the pdf started getting sluggish. The links took a long time to work, and access was slow. So i decided to split the file into 2 halves. I now have 2 pdfs with links between them. The speed of access is fine. And the pdfs are not sluggish anymore. So i guess anything more than 2MB (in my experience), slows downn pdf performance! Please note that the file size mentioned here is the PDF file size. The original file amounts to about 8MB. Hope that helped.

Currently I am using Win 95, and a HP 5100c scanner. The scan in Exchange returns with an error "unknown device". Adobe UK support say that the 5100c is known to have problems with exchange. "...Pixel Translations makes ISIS scanner drivers for the HP 5100c and 6250c scanners, Adobe Technical Support has not achieved good results with these drivers. " My main questions are : 1) is there a document feeding scanner which works well with exchange? I may soon upgrade to capture 2.0 to allow bulk capturing. Some pages I scan are twice A4(normal letter size) (i.e. A3 to those in UK). Are there scanners which are this size? 2) And most importantly, some documents fool capture into not turning the paper layout from portrait to landscape. I presume this is due to the use of graphics on the page. My method to get into pdf, is to scan into a .tiff file. Import this into exchange and then capture. This seems to much of a chore if I am going to be doing this often. Any advice? 3) The sterling pound sign gets converted to anything but pound more often than not. I get f, E, 5 etc. Do I need to place another font file in? Or should I include ALL my fonts and then remove the ones each individual document doesn't utilise? The documents are heading for the web, so size is of great importance. Hope that someone can help, especially the second question.

Scanning to TIFF is the recommended workflow in most cases, including with the full Capture product, as I understand it. It should not be a chore if you have a suitable "scan to TIFF" software, and use Capture properly. > > 3) The sterling pound sign gets converted to anything but > pound more often than not.

What do you mean by "place another font file in" and "include all your fonts"? Are you hoping for some connection between the fonts installed in your system and the quality of OCR in Exchange? I don't know of one. Aandi __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

The data's there, you can print it, but unless you somehow manage to get the image displayed pixel-for-pixel on screen, it looks like the dog's chewed on it. You might want to visit PDFzone and d/l Reader 4 -- it seems to do the same sort of on-screen antialiasing that Word 97 does. You might be well pleased.

I have used PDF files but I have no experience generating PDF and I am hazy, at best, about the capabilities of Acrobat and PDF. I have a number of questions and would greatly appreciate anyone who can contribute answers or insight. Here is a little background on the situation: The data that is sent consists of reports made up of text and images. These reports can be a full report or one of many partial reports, each of which is a subset of the full report. Furthermore, some of the textual information can be edited at the receiving device. These reports will be viewed at the receiving device and over the web. One idea is to transmit the full report in a number of PDF files, each one is an atomic component of the full report. Question: How can I stitch some or all of the PDFs together when I want to view them as a report? Editing also present a challenge (I think). Question: Are there facilities in Acrobat such that I can programmatically find and change a text string within a PDF? Another possibility is to transmit the images in the PDF and transmit the text separately. Question: Can I add information to a PDF so that I can insert any editable values at the time when the user wants to view the report? Question: Can I embed an Acrobat Viewer within my application so that the application paints the editable values in the user interface and paints images within something like an Acrobat pane? Question: As far as web viewing, is there any way to reference a PDF from within HTML using an IMG tag or something like it? Finally: Question: Am I on the wrong track here? Is there a better way to do this? Currently, I am leaning towards using a graphics format (like GIF or PNG) to transmit images rather than using PDF. Do you PDF experts out there think differently?

I want to print these retrieved files to a LAN printer (not a Unix printer). If i open a single pdf file and use the print button given by Adobe, then it prints fine, but, that way, i can print only one pdf at a time. My requirement is to select a group of pdf files at a time and print them. When a try to select a file , right click on it, select the 'print target' option and print it, it prints out some junk, be it one file or multiple files. Is there a way to batch print the pdf files? Does Adobe support it? Are there any plug-ins that can be used with Internet Exploere 3.x, 4.x or Netscape to use 'print target' and print a group of pdf files. Are there any pdf tools available in this regard? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You have a couple of options, none of which may be exactly what you have in mind, but: You can create an action button in PPT that launches a file or program. If that file's a PDF and the user has Reader or Exchange installed on their machine, one or the other will launch with your PDF loaded. You can export from Exchange to EPS and place the EPS in PowerPoint. The user will see a (probably) low rez preview on screen but if they print to a PS device, the results should be quite good. One hitch here: early releases of PPT95 glitched when printing EPS. They'd print the EPS PS portion ok, but would then plop the TIFF preview neatly atop it, perhaps in some grand but wildly misguided attempt at WYSIWYG? Fixed in a later release of PPT.

Michael Peterson -----Original Message----- From: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com [mailto:owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com] On Behalf Of Littman, Bill Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 1999 6:35 AM To: 'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com' Subject: [PDF] Is PDF appropriate for this use? I am currently investigating the use of Adobe Acrobat PDF format to exchange data between medical devices (running Windows NT). I have used PDF files but I have no experience generating PDF and I am hazy, at best, about the capabilities of Acrobat and PDF. I have a number of questions and would greatly appreciate anyone who can contribute answers or insight. Here is a little background on the situation: The data that is sent consists of reports made up of text and images. These reports can be a full report or one of many partial reports, each of which is a subset of the full report. Furthermore, some of the textual information can be edited at the receiving device. These reports will be viewed at the receiving device and over the web. One idea is to transmit the full report in a number of PDF files, each one is an atomic component of the full report. Question: How can I stitch some or all of the PDFs together when I want to view them as a report? Editing also present a challenge (I think). Question: Are there facilities in Acrobat such that I can programmatically find and change a text string within a PDF? Another possibility is to transmit the images in the PDF and transmit the text separately. Question: Can I add information to a PDF so that I can insert any editable values at the time when the user wants to view the report? Question: Can I embed an Acrobat Viewer within my application so that the application paints the editable values in the user interface and paints images within something like an Acrobat pane? Question: As far as web viewing, is there any way to reference a PDF from within HTML using an IMG tag or something like it? Finally: Question: Am I on the wrong track here? Is there a better way to do this? Currently, I am leaning towards using a graphics format (like GIF or PNG) to transmit images rather than using PDF. Do you PDF experts out there think differently? Thank you very much in advance for any help or insights, or both. -Bill Littman __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

We develop a regular product called a "Documentation CD" for a myriad of company conferences. We PDF all paperbased conference material (usually in Powerpoint format), create several navigation screens/interface, build a search index and link it all up. The challenge is with the navigation screens. They are created by taking a .bmp given to us by our Graphics department and inserting it into a PowerPoint Template (background). We then overlay text (via Powerpoint) and PDF the entire thing. Problem occurs with the background graphics. They are distorted, fuzzy, blurred. The text that goes in on top of the template graphic PDF's just fine. But the rest is crappy. This process has been in use since before I came to my current position. I have to believe there is a better way. Yes? - Suzan __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

One other far-fetched possible: some people claim you can do this by inserting the AcroReader Active-X control into the presentation. I tried it recently and while it seems to work from the time you insert the control and specify the source file through the first time you view the presentation, it never works again after that. You have to delete the control and start over again. Not what *I* would consider a real practical alternative. Others claim it works better for them. My assumption is that if I can't get it to work at all in a controlled environment, it sure isn't going to be reliable out "in the wild".

This got me curious, so I just did the following: Started new presentation in PPT97 Drew an action button (could be any graphic object instead, though) Made its action setting Hyperlink To and chose Other File. Browse window comes up, chose a PDF with umptygazillion links and OK'd the d'log. Put the show into screenshow view, clicked the action button. Up comes Exchange (it owns PDFs on this box) with my file loaded and the links all behaved perfectly, those that I tested, at any rate. Here, at least, it does seem to work for intra-document linking. How it'd work to external docs and/or weblinks I don't know.

The problem is that PowerPoint antialiases everything it sees as a bitmap, hence you get fuzz, blurr, etc. You can't turn this ... ... feature off. There's a little trick, though. PPT has it in mind that WMFs aren't bitmaps, so it leaves them alone. Put your BMP in a WMF wrapper and you're more or less set. See the PowerPoint FAQ on http://www.rdpslides.com for the how-to part. If you don't need bitmaps ... that is, if you can draw the nav buttons as vector art ... you'll be a lot better off. No blurries. And most probably MUCH smaller PDFs. Bitmap nav buttons on every page can really bulk up your PDFs quickly.

I keep getting the error "font times-new-roman 218 could not be reencoded" some characters may not display or print properly". The files work/display fine on any windows machine. Distiller 3.02 was used to create the PDFs from PostScript generated from MSWORD97 (mostly, some WP v8). I've tried using PDFwriter also but that either generates the same message or cause a problem with another font. I checked the PDF archives and only found one mention of this problem, unfortunately there were no replies to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I also use Capture 2.01 and so far (knock on wood) all is going well. I use it for batch scanning as well as for individual scanning here and there. Furthermore I use it with both my Mac PPC and my PentiumII PC's. Hope this helps.

I'm creating PDF documents from MSWord using Distiller. However, all colors are rendered as B&W in the PDF file. When I use PDFWriter - no problems. However, I prefer not to use PDFWriter as I need hyperlink functionality etc. I've tried a combo of different settings but no luck. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.

Ideally, I'd like to break down searches to allow the user to search by: * Title of document * "Meta" data connected to the document (Subject, keywords) * Contents of the document.... There seem to be lots of LAN or 'Net based solutions around but nothing that would work on a stand alone CD ROM arrangement.... Any ideas?

I'm converting rolls of microfilm containing old county records, newspapers, census records, etc. to PDF format for genealogists to use for home use as opposed to waiting to use facilities at a crowded library that may be hundreds of miles away from home. As my customer is basically individuals, many of whom are on a fixed income, I'm trying to keep my costs as low as possible. I have the process of converting the microfilm to Tiff files down fairly good. The problem now is converting folders ranging from 500 to 10,000 TIFF files at approximately 5000 * 6500 dots resolution and with group IV compression to one large PDF file in a fast and efficient manner using Windows NT. I had been using Exchange but it will only allow you to import 50 images at a time and with folders with such large volumes of files, the process became very time consuming and error prone. I now use essentially a Visual Basic program to automate the keystrokes to speed things up somewhat and elliminate the mistakes but this still takes a long time and is very inefficient as it actually shows all the displays and goes through each of the menu steps. What would be ideal is something that would take the contents of a folder and merge the images into a single large pdf file, and prefferably create thumbnails at the same time, without having all the overhead associated with the automated keystroke approach.

I manage our Electronic prepress department and we always postscript and then pdf. Printing directly to a PDF writer does not embed all of the neccesary information into the file. Acrobat creates the pdf file(when printed using pdf writer) using the information the cpu uses to display the pages on screen, thus the images are embedded at around 72-96 dpi. __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

Acrobat can't re-encode these (which it wants to do so that it can sort out the diffs between the PC and Mac character sets). The Mac now arrives on your doorstep with TT "versions" of the standard PS fonts. When Acrobat installs, it normally installs PS versions of its base font set, but if the TT versions are there, it seems to get fooled into thinking you have real fonts, so doesn't install the T1 versions. When I had this same problem, I ditched all the TTequivalents and reinstalled Acrobat. Happy, happy thenceforth.

Do you do tiff to PDF with or without OCR Capture? 2. If you do OCR, do you do "Image + Hidden Text" (Image Archive mode with text hidden)? What you need seems to be a PDF Capturing tool. Obviously Adobe Capture is a choice. Our software PageGenie 2000 Pro is a nice supplemental/replacement for Acrobat Capture. If you convert tiff to PDF without OCR Capturing, there is no limit to the page count. There are other features that might be of use to you. Take it offline if you would like to give it a shot. Vincent Huang Developer of PageGenie 2000: Advanced Document Capturing and Full Color OCR for Web Publishing and PDF Archiving http://www.pagegenie.com ---------- From: Paul Redden [SMTP:redden@inna.net] I'm trying to keep my costs as low as possible. I have the process of converting the microfilm to Tiff files down fairly good. The problem now is converting folders ranging from 500 to 10,000 TIFF files at approximately 5000 * 6500 dots resolution and with group IV compression to one large PDF file in a fast and efficient manner using Windows NT. I had been using Exchange but it will only allow you to import 50 images at a time and with folders with such large volumes of files, the process became very time consuming and error prone. What would be ideal is something that would take the contents of a folder and merge the images into a single large pdf file, and prefferably create thumbnails at the same time, without having all the overhead associated with the automated keystroke approach.

I'm creating PDF files from MSWord, using the Distiller postscript driver. I can't seem to create PDF files with color images from the Word documents. Just to be more specific, color text converts correctly but color pictures convert to B&W. However, if I print to PDFWriter, it works fine. I've tried other postscript drivers but with the same results. Any advice would be appreciated.

Several companies make microfilm scanners with varying degrees of automation from page recognition and cropping to image enhancement and automatic deskew. Mine uses a 7500 pixel CCD camera to scan the film and process it in real time. At the resolutions and page sizes I'm scanning I'm getting about 500 pages an hour but the advertised rate is 42 pages per minute for 8 1/2" x 11" at 200 dpi. Other scanners are faster but this one seems to have the best image enhancement capabilities. For technical documents they have one at an additional $5000 US that will scan 'E' size drawings on 35mm film at 400 dpi (10,000 pixels across 35 or 16 mm). It is about two thirds the speed but you can't beat the resolution. My scanner is made by Wicks and Wilson in England but there are a few others on the market as well. There are also some that will scan microfische with automatic page recognition. Paul http://www.digital-antiquities.com -----Original Message----- From: F.

However, I urge you to be cautious in the the number of images you attempt to convert into a single PDF file (assuming we are talking about OCRing them to something like Image+HiddenText flavour of PDF). As many people have said on this list before, Capture is a real resource hog (and so is NT for that matter). The general rule of thumb would seem to be "don't try to convert more than about 100 pages at a time". Your NT box will probably like to have 128 Mb of memory to do that. >From one of Paul's later replies concerning the detail of the microfilm to TIFF conversion step I notice the images are being produced at 200 dpi. This will certainly help as far as resources are concerned (smaller image files) but I have some concerns about the quality of OCR text which will be achieved from 200 dpi images off microfilm. I say that from experience of some of our own microfilm which can best be descibed as 'poor'. If you are going to search this text at any stage later you really ought to have something like Excalibur Retrievalware Pattern search capability. This will cope with poor OCR and still find most of your documents. Anyway, back to the main subject: having produced PDF files from batches of 100 pages you then need to combine them into larger files. Exchange will do this for you manually. I recall there are some plug-in type tools which can merge PDF files also - perhaps others can respond with suggested products... I wonder if I might just challenge why you are trying to produce "one large file". From what you describe of the records involved they don't sound like the sort of thing that cannot be separated into some smaller logical blocks. Working with smaller numbers of pages and smaller PDF files always makes life easier. Then using a search engine to allow people to find the file or files that they want would seem quite reasonable. As far as thumbnails are concerned, Exchange will do a batch process to create thumbnails on all files in a folder and sub-folders. Let it optimise the files at the same time to shrink their file size. Hope some of the above helpful, Nick Walton ICI, England. nick_walton@ici.com Paul Redden wrote: The problem now is converting folders ranging from 500 to 10,000 TIFF files at approximately 5000 * 6500 dots resolution and with group IV compression to one large PDF file in a fast and efficient manner using Windows NT. ... ...What would be ideal is something that would take the contents of a folder and merge the images into a single large pdf file, and prefferably create thumbnails at the same time, without having all the overhead associated with the automated keystroke approach.

Purup-Eskofot makes such a scanner that we use for scanning medical art, X-rays, transparency, etc. It is not cheap, but you get dot-for-dot matching of the original -- (i.e. quality is as good or better than the original). Hope this helps... There are tools that you can then use (Adobe Photoshop included) to change TIFF to EPS or Postscript (for distilling), or directly to PDF -- with automation. The PDF files thus created can then be bunched into one PDF (although grouping into several smaller PDFs would be recommended). To make the PDF searchable, use Acrobat Capture. Use Catalog to create an Index of all the words contained in all of your PDF files, and you will be able to search the entire content of the PDF "database". Good luck. "F.

Just one ill-chosen graphic can do this, or an ill-considered change to the Distiller options. "Cute" features like a photo background on each page must be sternly resisted. Using lots of different fonts is not just bad typography, it will bloat the PDF files to. Also, forgetting to use SAVE AS rather than SAVE in Exchange is a common error. Our Quite A Box Of Tricks plug-in can cut down overweight PDF files, if the problem is due to overlarge graphics. You can also use it to check up on the actual space used by individual graphics, or search for the largest. (The information functions work even in the demo).

In order to extend the characters available to the ISOLatinEncoding set, I've been using a variety of re-encoding procedures, including a variation on the one in the Adobe Blue Book (pp 202 - 207). The new encoding works on Illustrator 7.0 on Mac and PC as well as Tailor 2.0 on the Mac, but Distiller 3.2 gives [ Error: invalidfont OffendingCommand: findfont ] when I call a font under the re-encoding procedure.

Just one ill-chosen graphic can do this, or an ill-considered change to the Distiller options. "Cute" features like a photo background on each page must be sternly resisted. Using lots of different fonts is not just bad typography, it will bloat the PDF files to. Also, forgetting to use SAVE AS rather than SAVE in Exchange is a common error. Our Quite A Box Of Tricks plug-in can cut down overweight PDF files, if the problem is due to overlarge graphics. You can also use it to check up on the actual space used by individual graphics, or search for the largest. (The information functions work even in the demo).

So that SAVE can be fast, it just appends changes to the end of the file. Even if you delete stuff, it just appends a message saying things are deleted. SAVE AS reorganises the file and can save space. SAVE AS is also the main way to optimize a file, which sometimes reduces the size (and sometimes increases it; you takes your choice).

Hello again, Aandi, and as usual if not always you're absolutely right in your analysis. However, even when that's fixed, I still get [ Error: invalidfont OffendingCommand: findfont ]. Also, I've been finding that even in Illustrator, I get glyph mismatches on the re-encoding procedure. In particular Lslash and lslash do not get rendered on the Mac or PC -- although, oddly, they will in Tailor 2 on the Mac. Also, when I use the { Encoding exch /.notdef put } routine, then use the Blue Book procedure to display all the characters in the newly re-encoded font, often in the higher range (octal 333 - 305) I get Symbol font characters in place of the roman glyphs. -- Most respectfully, Gunnar Blodgett Production Analyst Pre Print, Inc.

Jeff Jansen | Modest Systems / Portland, Oregon, USA | Superior Technical Communication in Ink and Pixels | "We're pretty darn good, but we don't mention it." | (503) 239-7520 www.ModestSystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Jansen [mailto:Jeff@ModestSystems.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 1999 11:13 AM To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com; Dianne_Duffy@infinium.com Subject: Dianne, The Fit-to-Width default for internal jumps in PDFMaker drove me nuts too. What I decided to do was change all the "/FitH X" commands in the PS file with "/XYZ 0 0 0" codes. This allows each internal hyperlink to inherit the zoom setting of the *originating* view. This lets the *user* decide how s/he wants to view the file; in my opinion, the preferable solution. Rather than mess with the PDFMaker macros, I decided to do this "externally." In a nutshell, here's what I do: 1. Configure PDFMaker NOT to delete the PS file. 2. Use PDFMaker to create the PS and PDF file. 3. Open the PS file *as a text file* using Word. This lets you edit the PS code using Word. 4. Using Word (and excluding the quotes): - Replace All "/FitH ^#^#^#" with "/XYZ 0 0 0" - Replace All "/FitH ^#^#" with "/XYZ 0 0 0" - Replace All "/FitH ^#" with "/XYZ 0 0 0" (This gets all 1-, 2-, and 3-digit /FitH commands.) 5. Save the PS file *as text*. 6. Re-Distill the PS file. This has worked like a charm for me.

I now realize there is a Version 4, you probably have this one and I am probably in the stone ages.... I am going to upgrade....but for now these are the parts of Acrobat..... I haven't been for a long time into the distiller options or preferences...thought I had a long time ago? I will go there today..... There are many tiffs and EPS's in this catalog.....but it seems to have increased form a 1.8Mg file to a 10Mg file.....I did start to use the EMBED fonts solution to get over the fact that people couldnt print out in my fonts....but I now realize...after a mutual thread on the Graphic Design Discussion list (appearing now)....that text should be best shown in Convert to paths if possible....and if not possible....supply the fonts to whoever..... Hence I only (at this moment) use pdfs for SHOW to clients and to printers instead of Hard copy.... When you show the client you want to send by email....large files take time...when you show to a printer...you can supply a Zip disc (no worries). I know how to make the best out of tiffs and Eps's to get the absolute minimum Mg or K. I think it is the settings either in the Distiller or in Quark Xpress 3.32 (the application I am using with this trouble). As this all started when I tried to be clever and make fonts embedded..... I'll try these solutions first and see what happens.

So that SAVE can be fast, it just appends changes to the end of the file. Even if you delete stuff, it just appends a message saying things are deleted. SAVE AS reorganises the file and can save space. SAVE AS is also the main way to optimize a file, which sometimes reduces the size (and sometimes increases it; you takes your choice).

Unless you have hundreds of embedded fonts, there's no way fonts could account for that sort of size increase. On the whole, fonts converted to paths are ugly as last week's sin left to mildew in Reader 3.x (much nicer in 4 but you don't want to rely on everybody having that yet). Besides which, paths instead of fonted text can sometimes make the file grow more than just embedding the fonts might. On the whole, I'd set it to embed fonts, at least until you've explored all other avenues. > >Hence I only (at this moment) use pdfs for SHOW to clients and to printers >instead of Hard copy.... When you show the client you want to send by >email....large files take time...when you show to a printer...you can supply >a Zip disc (no worries). > Given that it's just for viewing, you may want to experiment with the JPG image compression options in Distiller rather than ZIP. They should produce smaller files but at the expense of some image quality. The difference may not even be visible on screen, however.

After carefully considering the options available I think that I will probably go with Image Alchemy which is a command line driven program that already has the ability to convert multiple tiff files (or any other format or combination of formats) to PDF files (either single or multiple). Their AlchemyPS software will convert from PDF to almost any other format. The command line nature will enable me to easily call it within a visual basic program to be part of an automated system. With Visual Basic I will be able to combine this with the 'Options' program to automatically read the tiff files from multiple directories and create one pdf file for each directory calling Options to create the thumbnail and set the document, open and security options. As my scanner will automatically scan the film and save each frame as a sequentially numbered tiff file this will result in a nearly fully automated process that will alow me to choose the best spot in the process to edit the pages and keep my labor costs to a minimum.

You are using either the Microsoft PSCRIPT 4.0 driver or one of the AdobePS 4.x drivers associated with the Distiller Assistant's port. Unless you are using AdobePS 4.2.x, you are experiencing a bug by which, regardless of which PPD you are using, the driver does monochrome or color images based on the "default" printer. I would bet that your system default printer is defined as a monochrome printer. Upgrade the driver and the problem should go away. - Dov __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

One member however, has worked unstintingly off the list to get my problem resolved. Even checking on 4 computers and running bench tests on my files. I'd like to publicly thank Shane Steinman for his largely unrewarded efforts on my behalf...on a commercial project for totally my own benefit I might add. I'm very grateful to him and to the others here too. You've no idea how comfortable your support makes me feel. This brings me to another point on the same subject... My success in selling manuals in PDF format is being thwarted by an fast growing percentage of computer newcomers. Not only are they beginners in every sense, but I am rapidly assuming the role of caretaker, handholder and spiritual guide to their efforts in getting my PDF files loaded and opened on their computers. This points out a serious flaw in: 1) My instructions, or 2) Adobe's instructions. If I am to make a large fortune - or even exist comfortably day-to-day (more the scenario at the moment!) - the PDF file downloading and Reader downloading process has to be fully automated and foolproof. I want to spend time developing new products instead of telling others which mouse button to use. Now I realize this problem is a long way from the arcane and nuts-N-bolts technobabble that exists on this list, but I would be grateful if someone who has found the simplest instructions imaginable on downloading PDF's for beginners to use, would pass them on to me. Or refer me to a higher power. Or anything! I sell up to a dozen manuals a day at times, and half of these are bought by newcomers needing my intensive mothering. Not productive at all. As far as I'm concerned PDF is the only program to use...I wouldn't consider any alternative...so I have to master it, or forever seek my calling as the glorified helpdesk operator I now am. If you've got this far and can help me...thanks a million. Ken Silver PS. Part of my activity is to gather questions from these beginners, round them up into general compartments and offer them packaged answers. But getting usable answers for a variety of operating systems and browsers is not an easy task, I can tell you! _________________________________________________________________________ Ken Silver, Author & Publisher: 'How To Make $100,000 A Year Part-time Creating Profitable How-To Manuals' ×× Website: http://www.ksilver.com ×× ×× Email: ken@ksilver.com ×× × Self-Publisher's Forum: http://www.netbabbler.com/goto?forumid=11488 × _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

Just brought my file (pdf ) down to 722k from 10Mg.....EXCELLENT! I tried all off...i.e. Off with Embed fonts, off with ASCII, off with the same in distiller etc..... Nothing....no difference.... Then concentrated on the Compression side..... For Color Bitmaps..... High compression and low Downsample...72dpi. For Greyscale ......High and 72dpi. For Mono bitmaps.....Group3 and 300dpi. This did it...... got round to turning ASCII on in quark and Acrobat Distiller, Embed fonts on (in distiller and Quark App), Compress text and line art, match all the above in the Distiller options..... Off with smooth graphics and on with smooth fonts.... (Don't think I missed anything???) And hey presto....10Mg to 722k..... not bad reduction. Thanks guys, just trying it on a couple of others....I'm back to giving clients decent sized pdfs....

Unless you have hundreds of embedded fonts, there's no way fonts could account for that sort of size increase. On the whole, fonts converted to paths are ugly as last week's sin left to mildew in Reader 3.x (much nicer in 4 but you don't want to rely on everybody having that yet). Besides which, paths instead of fonted text can sometimes make the file grow more than just embedding the fonts might. On the whole, I'd set it to embed fonts, at least until you've explored all other avenues. > >Hence I only (at this moment) use pdfs for SHOW to clients and to printers >instead of Hard copy....

They should produce smaller files but at the expense of some image quality. The difference may not even be visible on screen, however.

There are simply too many variables involved, and people who experience problems seldom relay sufficient details that could help narrow the field of possibilities. Sometimes it's the connection speed of a particular user ... or the time of day/level of Net traffic ... or his/her's ISP's configuration as to how to handle PDF files ... or a modem driver problem ... or a hard disk storage problem ... or a faulty decompression program ... or a file got corrupted while being uploaded/transmitted/downloaded ... or a faulty browser configuration ... or a faulty user ... and numerous other variables. The possibility for a short list of quick fixes is certainly a worthy goal, but it borders on being a mission impossible. If you've not done so already, I'd suggest you create a form that requires people to provide you with data to do any level of meaningful troubleshooting. Over time, you'll start to see certain patterns, and you'll be able to make quicker calls on some future reports. In fact, we're working on compiling some of our findings & updating such a list right now -- we will post it in PDFzone.COM before too long. I'm curious -- what percentage of your failed attempts come from "aol.com" users ? Granted that's a large audience to begin with, but we tend to see a high percentage of problems from there. And if you read some of Adobe's tech tips on these kinds of problems, you'll note they have published a disclaimer stating they do not support AOL's software and how it handles downloaded PDF files. > PS.

Perhaps we can share our checklists offline and coordinate our eventual PDFzone.COM listings to address some of your most common problems. If so, please contact me directly *off* the list. rgds ~ Kurt __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

Probably better to not convert your fonts for a whole host of reasons, a few here: 1. Fonts converted to outlines cannot take advantage of Type 1 hints. Type 1 hints allow the Type 1 rasterizer to adjust the character outline for small point size characters and/or low resolution devices. Typical screen resolution 72-100 dpi. ATM (Adobe Type Manager) is a Type 1 rasterizer and makes extensive use of Type 1 hints to draw characters on screen. Additionally the A2crobat viewers Reader and Exchange either use ATM to draw characters, or have ATM built-in. (Depends on the version of the viewer) 2. Characters converted to outlines are not cached as would Type 1 characters. Caching allows an already rasterized character to be reused. Read faster...

I would LOVE to send them printable pdfs and have talked to a printer about experimenting this possibility....but there are a few other probs I need to sort out....In FREEHAND pdfs don't like you turning Tiffs around.....they tend to place them off to the side...probably matching them to the original point reference, that Freehand is fond of..... Hence trust is a big thing...especially most printers will blame these things on you and you will end up paying for any extra attempts to out put film they might have. BUT...I agree with the general forum that....pdfs are the way to go...I am always preaching this to my clients....they are loving post it notes at the moment...and the fact that they don't have to get out of their seats to SEE the pretty pictures, comment on them, OK them....get a correction back...and courier to the printer....cool!!!!!!!!!! Also the Ministers here are just getting the hang of it too....so all the department heads are getting pats on the backs for my suggestions....which is obviously good for business. Anyway...I digress...I now believe it IS better to use the fonts.....NOT change to paths...or convert to paths.....and I believe that was probably a lazy approach.... Quality comes from originality....it seems...!!! I'll take a look at those other places too.....

Kurt, AOL plays a big part in my problem. Every time I read about its enormous growth spurts I can't help feeling that my headaches will increase. About 20% of my sales are they, and rising. And yes, I have got part of AOL's help statement as my instruction... which ironically enough says that one of the options should be to get the sender (me) to resend the file with MIME encoding. I would try to do that automatically, except I don't have a way yet to get my email program (Claris Emailer) to differentiate between AOL and other incoming addresses. Another project. Thanks for your reply, and especially about combining our checklist. Great idea.

Another project. If you are not using MIME, you are certainly making a lot of trouble for yourself and this is likely to account for many of your problems. MIME is standard, and understood, more or less, by almost all mailers in use today. Anything else is a proprietary standard. Mac mailers like to use a non-MIME system because Mac files arrive in better shape. That should not, I think, be your priority. You have no way to know whether the user is on Mac or Windows; just use the most widely accepted option. E-mail is an uncertain and rather unreliable medium. I think it is a mistake to get in the position of having to deliver PDF files by e-mail. Web site delivery takes more setting up, but is in my view the right answer.

However, I have had less problem with email delivery, than site downloading with its hassles of password protection and all. But most users 'in the know' have told me they prefer a website download, so I agree - I'll have to provide it.

You could just have the first PDF be a list of other PDF's, and hyperlink their titles to their respective files. Compose does this for you, generating a table of contents which is hyperlinked to a collection of PDF's. Pretty easy to do - or you could compile the list by hand or programmatically, then just use Exchange's 'link' tool, or some other 3rd party utility. good luck Mark __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

The search dialog can be adjusted to Show Fields (file | pref's | search | show fields), and you use them in your searches. Alternatively, you can just use the 'text search' box, with a syntax like 'keywords = blah, blah'. Works like a charm. You can also use wildcards, boolean expressions, etc in either the 'fields' or the ''text' portions of the search dialog. Mark > >Acrobat Catalog does most of what you want.

Look at the delivery systems for FAQ (table based generated on the fly vs. smaller shops' static html pages) of Microsoft and other players/competitors. If you have to and/or if it helps, create your dream color by numbers walk through for setting up Acrobat Reader right next to the FAQ or as part of it. Once you have completed these steps your life will be a lot easier as Help Desk Tech...instead of ten to fifteen minute phone calls repeating what you told the last person you can have your automated phone system direct them to the FAQ page first before calling your tech support tech (you) as a last resort.

According to the literature it can convert from and to 94 different formats including PS and PDF although converting from PS and PDF requires a more expensive version. It is command line driven so can be easily automated using batch files or Visual Basic if on a Windows platform. It is also available for other platforms. Using it is easy but learning all the different command options could be difficult. In going through the documentation it can convert several single and/or multipage Tiff files, PS files (or combinations of graphics formats) to a single or multiple PDF files with a single command from the prompt.

I used Pagemaker 6 on a Win 95 machine to create the page and used Distiller 3.0 and Exchange 3.0 to create the pdf. Also, when printing these images, strange lines appear on one side of the image.

TEXT INSETS Am including pdfmark operators in my FrameMaker source. It works well, except I would like to have the text placed by reference (i.e an inset) into the text block, so that changes can be made in one location for all FM documents. However, it does not seem to work. Has anyone had any experiences with this? BOOKMARK ORDERING My FrameMaker source generates local bookmarks auto- matically. My pdfmark operators place boilerplate global bookmarks. I would like the first four of the boilerplate bookmarks to precede the local ones, and the final chunk to follow the local ones, for all of my books. Anyone know how I can manage this? Your help is greatly appreciated. If you know, could you copy me directly via email, as I receive this in digest form (24 hour delay) otherwise.

According to the literature, which is lengthy, you can convert multiple files by: 1.) listing all files on the command line and using the -U command on the output to create a multipage PDF, PS or TIFF 2.) using a special option switch to allow you to use wildcards on the command line 3.) refferencing a file with the file names in it. 3.) using a command option on the input that causes it to read sequentially numbered files. To input a multipage TIFF file you have to use the -U command on the input or else it will only take the first page. There are litterally hundreds of command line options and learning them all may end up being a nightmare but it should be able to do what we need. I'll be trying the software out this weekend and will let you know how it works.

I am seriously thinking of trying to convert the miscellaneous optical parts and my old B&W scanner into a microfilm scanner. The idea would be to project the microfilm image onto a sheet of tracing paper or a ground glass screen substituting for the picture window of the flatbed scanner. The scanner's own light source would have to be turned off. Presumably I would have to substitute an equivalent load so the scanner's diagnostics would not think the light had failed...

The handler appears to be based on the Entrust Solo product. It will enable you to create your own key pair plus an X509 certificate. The certificate is very rudimentary and not capable of being signed by a third party, so is self-authenticating. You may have multiple signature profiles so that several people can use it. It also has a log of signatures so that you may keep copies of othe people's public keys and valid documents signed by them. It also has an API for third party developers to create plug-ins. The Verisign brochure that you quoted in your message is one such. The API includes the ability to use X509 certificates from trusted third parties. Verisign of course offers exactly that. Entrust, SecureIT, CIC and others have plug-ins. Two of the plug-ins provide the ability to use digitized (versus digital) signatures. So you have a variety of options, including the built-in available out of the box. Your choice will depend on how you intend to use the documents being signed. For approval of electronic expense forms within your department, the basic handler is probably fine. For documents submitted to and from a large number of unknown groups and individuals, you may need or want a trusted third party's authentication of identity.

It uses high quality lenses to magnify the film image from 7x to 45x where it can be focused ans scaned. Optioned out with a motorized film carrier and fische capability it comes to about $10,000 US. Minolta makes a similar one but better quality for about $20,000 US and there is a company that makes a screen replacement for existing microfilm printers for about $11,000. If you are doing any volume though I would suggest a higher end production unit that will automatically scan the film, identify and seperate the pages, and perform image enhancement all in an hour or two per roll. A mid range scanner that will do this for roll film is less than $40,000. If you lease it for $1000 a month and scan 100 films a month it comes to only $10 per roll. When you are talking about up to 5000 images per roll it sure beats paying $0.75 a page at a service burough.

A snippet of the text is included below: "Combining PostScript files into one PDF file The RunFile procedure facilitates processing one file through Distiller to combine two or more PostScript files into one PDF file. When you use the RunFile procedure to combine multiple PostScript files into a single PDF file, only one font subset is used for each font. This decreases the combined file size. There are additional uses of the RunFile procedure:  To distill PostScript files located in folders other than those that Acrobat Distiller monitors.  To distill an entire folder of PostScript files. The Xtras folder contains the RunDirEx.txt file, which you can use to distill an entire folder of PostScript files." etc. __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

It may not work well with MicroFolm, but I know that I can get a light box for my primax scanner that allows it to scan transparencies. Here in the UK, it costs #80.00 and may prove to be a cheap solution. Note: I haven't tried this, as I don't have a need for scanning transparencies. I have been following this thread with interest however, as this may be something that my employers may be interested in at some point.

Been there. Done that. I used to have a scanner (Microtek 600Z) that I was reluctant to buy the transparency adaptor for. Fortunately I had a baby at the time. That's right, a baby. Because the baby had a crib and in the crib was a super tabloid size (19x13) mirror so the baby would think it had company. Anyway, I strapped the mirror to the inside of the scanner's top and angled it at 45 degrees. Then I placed fax paper (smooth, translucent) on the bed for a ground. Using a 35mm slide projector I was able focus the images onto the mirror which reflected onto the fax paper. There was no need to disable the scanner's own light source. Of course the image was not very sharp and keystoned a bit if I wasn't careful but hey I used it for FPO (For Position Only) scans for years. I love Rube Goldberg. Ask me about my 16mm rotoscoping stand sometime. (HINT: Heat absorption filter from Corning Glass). HTH, C.

It only works with PostScript, of course, which wipes out the low and the high end (the high-end may output PDF directly). I believe it is best described as "deprecated" (available, but best avoided in any new application). I assume you mean "print only" information. Perhaps Acrobat 4 has done something to address this long standing need. I would wait and see before committing to passthrough PostScript.

At the begining of my project, I knew very little of Adobe Acrobat 3.01 PDFWriter or Distiller and embedded fonts.Reality is that I had to choose this font because of Government of Canada requirements on standard: True Type Fonts. So, using suggested Helvetica was out of the question. Plus, System Specialist in our building commented that by adding Helvetica on network would mean an increase of memory usage by all users. Secondly, I recently read Mark Witkowski book titled "The PDF Bible" on fonts. He explained that fonts could be embedded into pdf. Meaning that, even thought, all telecentre agents dont have helvetica on their computer system or on network, I can embedd them with Distiller. In conclusion, I really dont have to ask our building specialist to include helvetica on the network, I only have to use it on my computer and then embedd it with Distiller 3.01. To my knowledge, my affirmations on embedded fonts are correct. Can you add on extra information on this matter. This email might look useless, but I need this knowledge when I do visit System Specialist to request adding helvetica on my computer. Thanks for reply.

Robert, Helvetica is not embedded in PDF files.

Good services will be able to do huge volumes at low per image prices. At present you are spending time and resources on a technical solution that may never work - this may be fun and great self-development but it doesn't make for good business. In the best case scenario you get a scanner that works very slowly and requires a lot of operator time to run. Also your flatbed scanner will not be optimised to account for the varying reduction ratios that are present in microfilms. The other advantage of working from microfilm is that making surrogates for scanning is very easy and cheap to do, so you don't even risk your original films.

Here's how: 1. Make sure that the printer you use to generate the PS files for Distiller (or PDFWriter) is a postscript printer. 2. In your printer properties dialog box, locate the fonts information and set up a substitution table to have the printer substitute helvetica for arial when it generates the postscript.

Assuming you are not talking about bookmarks... There are two ways create hyperlinks within the pages of a PDF using Exchange. One is with the linking tool. More flexible is using the forms tool. The difference is that a forms field/button can be named, programmed for rollovers and multiple step executions, hidden, populated with text or icons, etc. It can also be copied and pasted from page to page, document to document, or automatically throughout an entire document using Edit/Fields/Duplicate. If you don't see this function in Exchange, then you need to download and install the Acrobat Forms Author Plug-in (v3.5) - for Mac at http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/4da6.htm - for Windows at http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/4dbe.htm.

You just need to set up a web server and write some (CGI, ASP, etc.) programs to process the form data. Check out the Adobe FDF toolkit to process the form data. It can easily be stored in an Access database. George __________________________________________________________________ Feb. 16 - Adobe Announces Acrobat 4.0!

We're using it quite successfully on our intranet for several insurance forms. Using a combo of MSAccess97, MS SQL 6.5, IIS and ColdFusion from Allaire. We're also working on a very large web based implementation for the insurance industry as well. Our issues are getting data that has already been entered into the db onto the form, instead of re-typing it over and over on the forms. As to whether its worthwhile, well that depends. If your forms are complex and lengthy, and the users need the look and feel of your orignal form, then yes it makes sense. The Forms author tool in exchange is much easier to work with in my opinion over hand coding html. On the other hand if he forms are rather simple, and they are to be used on the web by the general public, pdf adds another layer of complexity to the user. Such as - What ver of Acrobat must they have, do they have the forms filler plug-in, what is their modem rate, will you need to bytserver your pdf files to them due to their size etc...?

Each time I try to embed fonts with Distiller, it doesn't work. I have it set to embed all fonts using Acrobat 3.0 compatibility, yet when I view the PDF in Exchange, all I get are subsets and any base 14 fonts that were used - all Type 1 fonts - no True Type. I know Adobe doesn't like TT fonts, but shouldn't the "embed all fonts" option allow those fonts to be embedded? Isn't that the idea? Sounds to me as is you also have the "Embed Subsets" checked.... This dialog is a little confusing.... You may also want to add your TT fonts (shudder!) to the "Always Embed" list. Or.. NOT... File size is not as much of an issue since these files aren't very big to begin with (only 3-5 pages on average). Actually... it is an issue. If the files are small to begin with (<10 kb, let's say) then embedding the SAME font data in each one will EXPLODE your drive. Just embedding a couple of TT fonts can easily add 40kb to a file. Not a lot, right? Wrong. A collection of 1,000 10kb PDF files (10 MB) becomes 50 MB when the TT fonts are embedded (in this example). 40MBs of redudant font info for nada value added!

PDFzone.COM is now offering a range of sponsorship and advertising opportunities. Request more info at: http://www.pdfzone.com/feedback/adform.html ----------------------- INTRO March 1, 1999 ---- WELCOME to the PDF email list, launched in 1995 to facilitate helpful discussions among users of Adobe(tm) Acrobat(tm) software and the portable document format (pdf). The list is unmoderated -- that is, messages are *not* screened by the listowner before they are posted to the list address & delivered to subscribers. To maintain the intended professional nature of this list, hosted & sponsored by "PDFzone.COM," a written set of policies has been established. List subscribers are obliged to be familiar with & to abide by these rules of proper behavior. In general, the rules request that fellow list subscribers treat each other with respect in public list discussions. The list administrators pledge to maintain a light hand on the reins, having neither time for or interest in practicing dictatorial management. Instead, our aim is to foster and help facilitate an electronic environment for constructive, on-topic discussions. Proper list use -- including peaceful co-existence of subscribed individuals & companies who may represent competing products, services or goals -- will ideally be self-regulated by and among subscribers. However, if/when circumstances might warrant, PDFzone.COM reserves the right to request and/or enforce compliance with its stated policies. Determined at the list administration's *sole* discretion, behavior deemed inconsistent with the list's mission and in violation of its guidelines may result in any or all of the following actions: - first (in most cases), a friendly reminder of policy - next (in repeat situations), a second warning of violation - and/or, in persistent or the most serious situations, including blatant spamming, chronic vulgarity and verbal abuse, in being removed *without warning* and possibly banned permanently from the list. Any serious violations, such as prolonged verbal abuse or blatant commercialism, will result in *immediate* removal without warning. If deemed necessary, chronic list abusers will be permanently banned. The most important principles are summarized immediately below this introduction, and where necessary, explained in greater detail further below. ------ *N E W * ------ Pre-ORDER Acrobat 4.0 *NOW* for $219 full version ----------------------- ================================================ * IMPT: Blatantly off-topic (AND even relevant) postings of a commercial nature are not allowed on the PDF list. A firm NO SPAM policy is in effect -- and is strictly enforced by the listowners -- at all times. PDFzone.COM takes several measures to control unsolicited bulk email from being randomly sent to the list address. However, it's not possible to block all such electronic junk mail on the front end. Any identifiable person or email address intentionally posting commercial messages will be immediately REMOVED from the list. [*more details below] + The PDF list uses more than one address, each for a specific purpose. The "LIST" address is for posting MESSAGES to SUBSCRIBERS; the "SERVER" address is for sending COMMANDS to a COMPUTER (aka a "file server"). Subscribers should understand the difference and use each address appropriately. [*more details below] + As a safeguard, the 'Subject' field header and the first few lines of all messages sent to the list address are automatically screened by the list-serving software. Majordomo, the software used for this list, watches for ant of a select set of "taboo" words, rejecting any messages that contain pre-defined terms -- ones that look like SERVER COMMANDS rather than LIST MESSAGES. For example, it will reject messages sent to the list address that contain terms such as "subscribe," "unsubscribe" or "help." [*more details below] + In addition, there is a third email address for *subscribing* to a separate "digest" version of the PDF list. Unlike those subscribed to the main PDF list who receive every list message individually, "PDF-Digest" subscribers will receive one daily compilation of PDF list messages, resulting in a single large file. People subscribed to the "PDF-Digest" version *MUST* unsubscribe using the "PDF-Digest" list's separate SERVER address. [*more details below] + When replying to the LIST address (sending a message to ALL list subscribers), do *NOT* also forward to the full-text of any message(s) to which you are replying. Instead, edit the previous message(s), including *ONLY* enough detail to provide context to your reply. Also, please remove redundant footer information (identifying the list & sponsor) from replies posted to the list address, too. + Sending file attachments to the list address is *NOT* allowed under any circumstances; violators will be reminded once, then removed from the list if subsequent messages containing attachments are sent to all subscribers. If you need help with a problem file, try either of the following methods to solicit help from fellow subscribers: - post to the list address only a brief message describing the problem and asking for assistance, then send the file _directly_ only to those who respond, OR - post a URL where others can download your problem file + Questions, concerns or suggestions about *ANY* aspect of list management or use -- including allegedly improper conduct by other subscribers -- should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list (currently more than 2100). Any questions, concerns or suggestions about any aspect of list management or use should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list. ================================================ GENERAL INFORMATION - Additional Details +++++++++++++++++++++++ 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 the 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 (also a digest) * PDF-Announce for more commercially oriented messages * PDFdev, primarily for Acrobat developers (also a digest) * PDF-Basics, for entry-level questions and support Please use the appropriate 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: mailto:pdf@lists.pdfzone.com This will distribute your message to all PDF subscribers, currently more than 2100 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 at: mailto:listowner@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!): mailto:pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com OR, for the digest version, to: mailto:pdf-digest-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!): mailto: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!): mailto: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!): mailto:pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8. Is there an archive of the list discussions? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ YES - PDFzone.COM now offers web-based archives of its four email discussion lists. The archive for PDF (and PDF-Digest) subscribers is: http://www.pdfzone.org/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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: PDFzone.COM 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 every message sent to the LIST address (sent from a _subscribed_ email address) to all current subscribers -- or sends a daily compilation to those registered only 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 several 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 may result first in a reminder and a warning, and finally in removal from the list. Blatant violations, as determined by the listowner, may result in immediate removal and a ban on further 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 (mailto: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 automatically by the Internet Service Provider. Subscribers agree to allow PDFzone.COM 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 this list. Messages originally posted to the PDF list should not be posted elsewhere without the expressed permission of the author, with attribution to PDFzone.COM as the source. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 14. Statistics for PDF & PDF-Digest ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Number of subscribed email addresses (includes gateways*) as of February 28, 1999 PDF 850 PDF-Digest 1285 * 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. == ------ *N E W * ------ Pre-ORDER Acrobat 4.0 *NOW* for $219 full version ----------------------- * P D F z o n e .

If you are not using the AdobePS 4.2.4 driver, but are using the Microsoft PSCRIPT driver, then that is the problem. Install the AdobePS 4.2.4 driver (obtainable from the Adobe web site) and run the setup program using the PPD for the Distiller and the \DISTASST.PS port. Once you are sure you are using the AdobePS 4.2.4 driver, for the "Distiller Printer" go to: printer properties=>fonts=>send fonts as=>TrueType Fonts and make sure that the setting is for "Send TrueType fonts as Type42".

Michael,

Most likely your problem is related to either PostScript driver options
or use of an incorrect PostScript driver.

If you are not using the AdobePS 4.2.4 driver, but are using the= Microsoft
PSCRIPT driver, then that is the problem. Install the AdobePS 4.2.4= driver
(obtainable from the Adobe web site) and run the setup program using the
PPD for the Distiller and the \DISTASST.PS port.

Once you are sure you are using the AdobePS 4.2.4 driver, for the
"Distiller Printer" go to:

printer properties=3D>fonts=3D>send fonts as=3D>TrueType Fonts

and make sure that the setting is for "Send TrueType fonts as= Type42".

This will assure that Type 42 fonts are embedded into the job. Note
that all fonts will be "subsets" but they are valid TrueType= fonts.
(The subset will NOT be a problem!)

Excellent thoughts, one and all. BUT: - I have more time than money; I'm not sure anybody on this list would recognize what I do as a "business," even though I do earn money at it. - The 35mm film I have is all 11x, or close enough to that that it makes no difference; the 'fiche is all standard 96-frame.

What you write is new to me; I never had problems in importing TIFFs into AcroExchange, quite the contrary, my experience is that it works better than many viewers; sometimes it imports them (correctly) even when the TIFFs are not exactly conform to the specification. In one situation, I also had problems: when the image was VERY small (15x15 pixels) and it was strongly magnified) to a DIN A4 page. In this case, obviously, the import (=the resulting PDF) was OK, but Exchange had problems in displaying it. You can send me those TIFFs if you want, I can have a look... Remember: do NOT send it via the PDF mailing list, using of attachements is forbidden there, e-mail it directly to me. petr.fexa@wien.materna.de > ---------- > Von: Decker Gary E[SMTP:gadecke@WCNOC.com] > Gesendet: Montag, 1.

The Problem is, that AdobePS does *not* include TTF Fonts properly (-> = its the PS-driver, not distiller). Out workaround is installing ATM Deluxe with according PS Fonts, and se= t the substitution table (send as...) to substitute a TTF with its PS-Fon= t. Let me know, if you find another way....

Each time I try to embed fonts with Distiller, it doesn't work. I have it set to embed all fonts using Acrobat 3.0 compatibility, yet when I view the PDF in Exchange, all I get are subsets and any base 14 fonts that were used - all Type 1 fonts - no True Type. I know Adobe doesn't like TT fonts, but shouldn't the "embed all fonts" option allow those fonts to be embedded? Isn't that the idea? File size is not as much of an issue since these files aren't very big to begin with (only 3-5 pages on average). The strange thing is, I am viewing the document on the same computer that I created the PDF, so all the fonts are available to Exchange if it was to look for them. I have added the C:\windows\fonts folder to the Distiller font locations list. I am converting a MS Publisher document using file/print with the Distiller driver. Distiller Assistant is running the conversion process. Am I missing something here? I can live with subsets if forced to, but it'll be like caging a hungry gorilla and teasing him with a banana all day. :) Mike Abrahamson Liturgical Publications --0__=1R1EPp00pN3kJXdfRpYV2xXqphtz3mUsADzi1sD3JatUOzqs7VItGm5j Content-type: text/html;

What helped me with a similar problem was to abandon the PS 5 driver and use the PS driver that came with NT along with a Tektronix Phaser 540 PDD instead of the Distiller PDD (thanks to help I received here). I also noticed that there are new (2/26/99) version 5.1 PS drivers for NT at the adobe site. You may want to try them.

I > vote for just below. My thoughts too, however I was blasted for my view on the topic. The major concensus is that the "List" is supreme and its us, the meer users, consumers of the information, the potential visitors to the advertising, the ones that keep the info flowing, that are flawed.

(I find that ATM causes other problems with FrameMaker and other apps and avoid it like the plague.) Here's how: 1. Select and "install" a "true" postscript printer. I experimented with the various printer definitions available in NT, selected the Tektronix Phaser 540 (this printer is "true" postscipt, 600 dpi color, with the full complement of built-in fonts, and uses the postscript driver provided with NT, plus it's also available in Win95). The printer does not have to be physically present. 2. Open the Properties dialog box for this printer and locate the Fonts information. Set up the substitution table for all of the TT fonts you're using. It's been my experience that TT fonts do not distill well except in small amounts and at sizes larger than about 18 pt). 3. Generate the postscript files used by the Distiller using the printer you installed in step 1. Hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck!

The Problem is, that AdobePS does *not* include TTF Fonts properly (-> its the PS-driver, not distiller). Out workaround is installing ATM Deluxe with according PS Fonts, and set the substitution table (send as...) to substitute a TTF with its PS-Font. Let me know, if you find another way....

It's been my experience that even if the PDFs look OK when generated using TT fonts, the files are not searchable (using either the Find or Query options in Acrobat Reader with Search). An easy way to verify that you have "real" text in your PDF is to open the PDF in Exchange, select the text tool (the little "abc" icon), and then try to highlight words in the document. If you can highlight individual words, then all is OK. If you get random chunks of text, then your PDF will not be searchable (or indexable using Catalog). I think that searching PDF files on the web is a separate issue (i.e., files that can be indexed by Catalog and searched through Acrobat are not necessarily searchable on the web). From what I can tell, in order for a PDF file to be searchable on the web it must have none of the security options enabled through Acrobat Exchange (assuming that the web search engine is capable of handling PDFs). In my mind this is not acceptable, so I've chosen to forget about web searchability and rely on an HTML file to point to my PDF content.

It simply hadn't been changed yet today as most of the PDFzone.COM staff is away at the Seybold Boston '99 Conference. As to an earlier "revolt," I don't recall the sight or smell of burning torches disrupting our chores. I do recall several people (count 'em on one hand) who alerted us to their preferences relating to textual material appearing at the start and end of list messages. We obliged, while offering a disclaimer that as the sole sponsors of these lists -- some since 1995 -- we must explore various ways to offset such expenses. In the ideal world, we'd prefer not to add extra content to posted messages. In the real world of financial viability, however, we must balance the contrasting needs of list subscribers with those of our creditors. ;-} I have now updated the list headers; it's my preference that these be used to identify the source of a message, as it's common for postings to be relayed around the Net. So promotion of the list is accomplished with minimal intrusion. At no time do we take a "damn the masses" attitude toward feedback we receive -- good and/or bad -- from our list subscribers and website visitors. We can't always respond to every message personally, although I'd dare to venture that our response percentage (*not* automated replies) is among the highest on the Net. Finally, you'll note in the replaced headers that we *do* listen and make changes based on what the PDF Community at large tells us. However, we can only handle this one aspect of the perceived problem -- it's up to list subscribers to show respect for each other by following the list guidelines on EDITING the text of a previous message before replying back to the list -- and the editing should include the removal of list headers and footers, which are automatically added each time a message is sent to the list. PLEASE send any further discussion on this topic DIRECTLY to and NOT back to the entire list. We'll not be responding publicly on this thread after this one post. rgds ~ Kurt/PDFzone.COM === >Didn't we go through this about six months ago?

Hope your VB skillset is good :-) Or, we're using Allaire's Cold Fusion to grab data from MS SQL Server and Access97, passing the recordset thru Cold Fusion's COM object support of Adobe's ActiveX control / FDF Toolkit and pre-filling Acrobat 3x forms. We're also using Cold Fusion to insert data into MS SQL server when it is passed data from the Acro Forms. Cold Fusion (CF) handles uit just as if it were a html form submission. Its very cool (CF) as it allows us to call and pass data var's to stored proceedures on the db server. http://www.allaire.com free downloads available (NT, IIS, Netscape Enterprise Web servers as well as O'Reilly and Apache modules available.

There is no difference between PDF forms and ordinary HTML forms at all if you use URL encoding. Also there is no difference in making modifications at server side, but there is a big difference. Using PDF forms is quite efficient if you need to show up data fetched from DB onto the screen. I think learning scripting languages is the best way for us to go. We can get great flexibility with no big money. :) There are nice developing environments these days, but I guess it's hard to select PDF forms as front end because they have own form build tools. You will loose their efficiency when you stick PDF form. As you know, writing CGI scripts to accept data from PDF form is not hard. You need just one line in Tcl or Perl. Here is a sample in Perl and CGI.pm: my $data = $form->param( 'nameInPDFform' ); I'm sorry if you are tired of writing codes in Perl or Tcl. Cheers!

Maintaining forms or documents that show the characteristics you mentioned could be created by using descriptive languages like SGML or XML and a proper back-end. My forms and documents sources are updated with ASCII-editors. I produce PDF directly (batchwise) by means of PDFTeX (i.e. public domain PDF-converter based on TeX). See for example the Dutch TeX user group at www.ntg.nl. This workflow only pays off when you have to create massive and highly interactive documents and you have to update regularly (daily).

InfoLinker is an Acrobat plug-in that automates the process of adding hyperlinks and bookmarks to PDFs, via a rule-based engine. A simple rule will allow InfoLinker to scan your PDFs for URL link references (http://------) and then generate the actual URL link. InfoLinker looks for text only, so font, size, color, etc., of URL references does not need to be standardized. As far as underline and color, InfoLinker's preferences dialogue box allows you to change the link properties of the rectangle, such as thin, medium or thick line width, color (8 choices), and solid or dashed. I know this is not what you want, but InfoLinker can make the link box around a URL different than any other links (internal, external).

The easiest thing for you to do in this case, since it will not have any impact on formatting, is to change the color of the text. A nice red or blue would probably be enough to prompt your users to click. You can find the dialog box under the EDIT and TEXT ATTRIBUTES menu items. You'll need to use the TouchUp text tool, of course... and this really works a lot better if you've embedded the font of the text you will be changing... although you can change the font with the attributes tool, your PDF would be better off if you didn't do that.

Then use Exchange's DOCUMENT/REPLACE PAGES command to substitute the revised underlying form for the new one. Your form fields will be unaffected by the change.

I have run into another interesting problem with fonts and Distiller. I have a document that contains a graphic consisting of a picture with a caption. The caption is apparently in ZapfChancery medium italic but is considered part of the graphic by Word 6 and any other program we use. What format is the original graphic? If EPS, then most apps will simply spit it out whole into the PS stream. If the font's included in the EPS, fine, but if not, the app won't know that it's required and won't download it for you into the PS. If you can't embed the needed font in the EPS, the usual alternative is to place a text object atop the EPS, format it to whatever font the EPS requires, then send it behind the EPS so the app sees it/prints it first. That generally forces the font to download prior to the EPS so when the EPS comes along, the font's in the printer already.

Thus, Acrobat 4.0 (Distiller) can create files that are "Acrobat 4.0 compatible ONLY". This is no more and no less of a pain than waaaay back when we went from Acrobat 2.1 to 3.0. Unless Reader 4.0 is rolled out company-wide PRIOR to implementation of 4.0 for authoring purposes, you are bound to encounter the issue of 3.0 users "bouncing" off 4.0-only files -- and hating it! Hmm... I should clarify... 4.0 CAN generate 3.0 compatible files, but must be configured to do so. This is not hard to do, but it's difficult (OK, impossible) to centralize and thereby guarantee all installations of Acrobat are authoring to the 3.0 standard. Not to mention the fact that you thereby fail to take advantage of the various crafty (and not so crafty) features of 4.0. The basic idea is.... do NOT implement 4.0 for authoring until at least a critical mass of Reader installations have been upgraded to 4.0. To do otherwise is asking for !@^%%$#@!.

My understanding is that your users can use the Free Acro Reader (via download) and then download the FREE Adobe form filler plug-in at: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/4de2.htm Then they can "use" / read / view the forms you create and put on the web. They can also submit data thru your cgi or web db middleware just as a html form would. They will not be able to save. Though I have used a Plug-in from Arts called Joust that is very handy, the user could e-mail the completed form via the Acro-Reader toolbar to themselves and then save that attachment. Kinda Micky Mouse way of doing it but.... its free. Joust is here: http://www.pdfstore.com/mainpage.asp?WebPageID=172 > Maintaining forms or documents that show the characteristics you > mentioned > could be created by using descriptive languages like SGML or XML and a > proper > back-end.

My company is archiving our past architecture projects by converting them from Microstation (a CAD format) to PDF. I developed a little script to add into Microstation's PS conversion driver, which converts Microstation's proprietary fonts into suitable Adobe fonts, making the PDF's searchable. Eventually, they will be searched from a web page using Microsoft IIS. If anyone out there is interested in learning how to create PDF from Microstation- email me and I'll be happy to share what I know.. it's a slightly convoluted process but well worth the time to set it up, since PDF's can then be emailed & posted to the web far more successfully than CAD drawings... One of the problems I'm having is that Microstation inevitably creates my EPS files in portrait format, though all the originals are in landscape format. I think this is because Microstation's internal PS driver is writing them in PS 1.2 format? Distiller re-rotates about 90% of the files back to the proper orientation, but I'm having a hard time with the other 10%. And 10% of 20,000 CAD drawings is too many to fix by hand in Exchange. I need to find a fool-proof way to do this. I think if I could figure out how to force the page orientation to landscape, I'd have it made. I've been trying to write a Postscript command to orient the page, but I'm not sure of the syntax of the command, or where I should put the command. Should it go in the PROLOG file that Microstation uses? Or should it go in Distiller's prologue.ps file? Here is the syntax I've tried, but it hasn't worked yet. Maybe some of those symbols are wrong or something: %%ViewingOrientation [landscape] I got the idea to do this from the distillerparam.pdf file, which also states that Distiller's Autorotate parameter can be turned on and off, but doesn't tell you how to do it. Does anyone know? It states that "true" and "false" is NOT the way to do it, but doesn't tell you what the right way is. Sigh! I've been through Adobe tech support on this, and they haven't been able to help me. To add insult to injury, I'm an architect, not a computer person, so I barely know what I'm talking about... Any help would be greatly appreciated..!

This file reports itself to be about 700K, but when it spools to the printer, it generates HUGE (11 MB) Windows TMP files, almost one of these per page! Even when the job is complete and somehow gets thru the printer (I dare not send more than about 5 pages at a time), the temp files do not erase themselves, and soon I get a "run out of space on drive C:" message. In the FM document, we are testing the use of the placed (imported) PDF's rather than importing or dealing with the PowerPt files themselves. These are cropped PDF's of Powerpt files, I thought this would be a way of leveraging FM 5.5.6's ability to deal with PDF, and keep file size down. Is the placement of PDF's causing the problem, somehow? All of the PDF's used in the document are in a relative subdirectory, and altogether (45 files) total 17.5 MB. They are all imported by reference. We're printing to an HP 5simx printer with "lots" of memory. I even tried to turn off print spooling but that didn't help. Even when printing doesn't crash the process, and pages come out, they can take a LONG time doing so. I also tried printing this to a file using Distiller Assistant printer (AdobePS and Adistill.ppd) and the same huge temp files generated. I thought if I could get a PDF of the whole thing, the printing would improve. Any ideas? thx - Rebecca _________________________________________________________________________ (un)subscribe send an email to majordomo@FrameUsers.com with subject of: Subscribe: subscribe Framers Unsubscribe: unsubscribe Framers subscribe digest Framers unsubscribe Framers _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 4-Mar-1999 0:54:44-GMT,11400;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id RAA19000 for ; Wed, 3 Mar 1999 17:54:42 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id SAA10455; Wed, 3 Mar 1999 18:54:40 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 3 Mar 1999 18:50:25 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA10028; Wed, 3 Mar 1999 18:50:19 -0600 From: "Stephen M.

So I dont know if Distiller is quite a solution. The saving files to a "watched dir" aspect of Distiller is also potentially troublesome due to lack of skills - hence the need for a save as / save file preference setting needed above.

I am a little torn in giving this advice, because (for no good reason) these two technologies seem to be heading into conflict (a war of words, at least). I think they are probably going to be highly complementary. It seems to me a neat trick would be to include XML tags in some fashion within the pdf (perhaps as a private dictionary). It would surprise me if noone else had thought of this. Does anyone know of any plans to enable the inclusion of XML or similar data tags within a pdf?

Ordinarily I print to Laserwriter Select 360, which is a postscript printer. I also have an Alps 5000 color printer (no postscript though there is a postscript 3 software RIP available for it), that I had never used for text, just graphics. This afternoon I accidentally printed a PDF on the Alps, distilled with all fonts embedded, and all of the fonts embedded were type 1 ps. The printing worked very well (actually, quite beautiful, the Alps prints text at 1200 dpi). Can someone enlighten me on this point: can I print a file that contains postscript fonts to my non-postscript printer? What is the plus to adding the software ps RIP? Is there a neat FAQ somewhere that will enlighten me further?

If anyone has any experience/shortcuts/programs to share to ease this experience it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Frame 5.1.2, Distiller 3.02, on Win 95b. I'm testing with Reader 3.0, 3.01, 3.02 -----------Background-------------- I have a series of 8 forms at the top of each page, which are used for navigation. Four are buttons and four are "tool tips" that appear when the mouse enters the buttons. I'm using a standard show/hide field on mouse enter and mouse exit to hide the fields. These 8 forms are created using pdfmarks in my original Frame doc. -----------Problem------------ A one-page PDF with these forms works great. When I start to get over about 50 pages or so I see a big performance hit. The PDFs take significantly longer to open and the tool tips take significantly longer to appear. Here's the part I can't figure out. This performance degratation didn't occur until I placed the AcroForm header information into the file (see end of email for exact code). I copied this information right out of the pdfmark Reference Manual. If I don't have this header information in the PDF, I can open up a 10MB, 850-page PDF just as fast as a 1-page PDF and the tool tips work just as fast on either PDFs. So why don't I just strip out the AcroForm Header? Because then the tool tips only work in Acrobat 3.0. The AcroForm plug-in was modified at 3.01 and further at 3.02 (Forms 3.5). I've tried optimizing the PDF, which helps, but still gives unacceptable performance. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott ------------AcroForm Header----------------- [ /_objdef {afields} /type /array /OBJ pdfmark [ /_objdef {aform} /type /dict /OBJ pdfmark [ {aform} << /Fields {afields} /DR << /Font << /Helv {Helv} >> >> /DA (/Helv 10 Tf 0 g ) /NeedAppearances true >> /PUT pdfmark [ {Catalog} << /AcroForm {aform} >> /PUT pdfmark __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 4-Mar-1999 15:26:06-GMT,2574;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id IAA06242 for ; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 08:26:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA00785; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 09:22:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 4 Mar 1999 09:21:40 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA00570; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 09:21:39 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990304103502.0095b330@pop.iglou.com> X-Sender: rdp@pop.iglou.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 10:35:02 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Steve Rindsberg Subject: Re: [PDF] FW: Printing Woes with Placed PDF In-Reply-To: <199903032349.QAA07609@tmpil001.tmp.allied.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-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> > >Am having a dreadful time printing a 35 page framemaker (5.5.6 Wintel, Win >95) document with placed (imported by ref) PDF art.

It sounds like you might be using the "Open File" action for links rather than "Go to view". If you use the latter, the links should be relative to the file, and hence work even if you move all the files en masse to a different drive.

I erroneously stated that the built-in Acrobat signature plug-in appeared to be from Entrust. Hope this clears things up. John, I believe you are confusing the Entrust plug-in with Self-Sign, so I will clarify ... The installer from Acrobat will install only the Self-Sign plug-in. Other plug-ins, such as the Entrust and VeriSign plug-ins, must be installed separately from their respective folders under the Security folder on the Acrobat 4.0 CD. Self-Sign uses self-signed X.509 certs that are not signed by a third party. The keys are an RSA public-private key pair. The remainder of your first paragraph is correct. Self-sign has a Personal Address Book in which to store trusted public key certificates, against which you can validate documents. The feature set in Self-Sign is limited. The Entrust plug-in feature set is much richer. This plug-in requires that you install Entrust software for it to work. It will work with Solo-generated epf files, but the Entrust plug-in will not work if you just have Entrust Solo installed. You must have installed Entrust Entelligence 4.0, which is only available from Entrust and I imagine only if your company is an Entrust corporate customer. The Entrust plug-in also supports public-key based encryption. Your second and third paragraphs are correct.

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 __________________________________________________________________ * ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 4-Mar-1999 17:47:40-GMT,2445;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id KAA10353 for ; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 10:47:38 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA13620; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 11:44:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 4 Mar 1999 11:43:35 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA13481; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 11:43:33 -0600 Message-ID: Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 17:42:35 +0000 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: David R Evans Subject: Re: [PDF] Bookmark Copy?

I brought these into FrameMaker and then tried to export the finished document as a PDF file. No matter how I tried to do this (via File/Save As/Export/PDF) printing to PS or PDF writer - I failed - either the doc would not distill (PS error), or FrameMaker would gag. I called Adobe and they said that it is not possible to embed a PDF in a document and then export as the document as a PDF.... this was never the intention of PDF. Can this be true? - anyone have any suggestions. How can I standardize on PDF files in the office if they are mutually exclusive. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hardware: PII/266, 64 MB Ram OS: W/98 Software: Frame 5.5.6, WordPerfect 7.0, PS Driver 4.2.4 (Distiller PPD), Distiller 3.02. PS Driver settings: Substitute PS using Substitution Table. Results gave me PDF files with Times and Helvetica. Distiller and PDFWriter had identical compression and font embedding settings (3.0 compatible, compress text, embed fonts) I converted a large Frame file (CenturySchoolbook and Arial fonts) using each method. The Distiller method gave me a PDF with PS fonts (Times and Helvetica). The PDF Writer gave me a much larger file (100% larger) with TT fonts (Times Roman and Arial) Same process with a much smaller WordPerfect file, giving me similar font results. Then I put all four files in a single directory and indexed them via Acrobat Catalog. RESULTS: absolutely inconclusive :-( Searches found the queried words and phrases in BOTH PS and TT files, although I understood that TT fonts couldn't be catalogued. However, many "hits" occurred in the immediate proximity of the queried word. Moreover, I encountered large numbers of spurious "hits" in both types of files which could not be explained by word stemming or other options. I'd appreciate ANY insights regarding these phenomena, but especially about the reliability of TT fonts (and hence PDF Writer) to yield reliable search results via Acrobat Catalog. -- _______________________________ William Belk Publishing Technologies Manager IT Corporation, Las Vegas bbelk@ix.netcom.com Phone: (702) 245-8713 Fax: (702)647-0811 __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 5-Mar-1999 0:54:15-GMT,2166;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id RAA21455 for ; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 17:54:14 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA16398; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 18:49:49 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 4 Mar 1999 18:48:29 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA16292; Thu, 4 Mar 1999 18:48:28 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990304200156.00965740@pop.iglou.com> X-Sender: rdp@pop.iglou.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 20:01:56 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Steve Rindsberg Subject: RE: [PDF] FYI> PDF Filter 1.0 for QuarkXPress 4.04 (and later) p In-Reply-To: <1291550806-14818077@jdtv.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-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> > >notice that the xtension uses a procedure that doesn't DIRECTLY write a pdf file. all of adobe products [pagemaker, photoshop and illustrator] write the pdf format directly without using acrobat distiller. > Photoshop and Illustrator, perhaps.

It means you don't need to install Adobe's FDF tools kits on your CGI servers. The nice thing about this is that you are free to choose your server platform. AIX, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, HPUX, NT... anything you like. :) What you have to learn in order to make your scripts send data selected from servers to clients is only one: the basic structure of FDF. As you know, FDF is simple. I think usually you just need to handle two keys, T and V, maybe Opt sometimes. Please take a look at page 376 in PDF Reference Manual from Adobe. That is the only FDF related page required to develop CGI applications. The following URLs made me possible to handle PDF forms: Thank you for the authors! http://www.performancegraphics.com/Pages/acrouses.html http://www.imagebiz.com/IPwA/publishing.html http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/16196.html I hope this helps. Good luck. TOMITA, Shigenari Manager, Integrated Learning Center International Christian University Mitaka, Tokyo 181-8585 Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 09:12:54 -0500 From: Bruce Noe Hello. I just joined the list and have a huge question that some of you may be able to answer. The University would like us to create a pdf form that will allow users to enter information online, save the info and then they would be able to print and submit it. What we would like to do is use fdf( still don't know much about that---researching still) and have the fdf forward the info to a database.

You were given very bad information with regards to the ability to create PDF from FrameMaker documents with placed PDF and I want to follow up with our technical support folks. I have done this importation operation quite successfully from the Windows version of FrameMaker 5.5.6 and it is supposed to work on the Mac version as well, assuming of course that you use the Distiller route (create PostScript and then distill). You should consider upgrading to FrameMaker 5.5.6, though.

Actually, I have had no problems pulling PDF (graphics) into Freehand - all objects are fully editable and I've even used used PDF as a file format converter. For instance - getting high resolution graphics, with attributes out of MapInfo is a pain - but I can go to PDF - and pull the PDF into Freehand for final "tweaking" - very nice. > > I don't quite follow how FrameMaker handles these placed PDFs ... Dov, > could you or somebody else comment on that? Importing the pdf is just like any other format... screen redraw seems very fast. Quite effortless. The problem is getting a PDF out. There is a PDF export option in FrameMaker that is potentially very powerful because you can automatically generate bookmarks tied to whatever styles you have created in the FM document. ie. Chapter Headings. Even Figures, and the headings for chapters are the text in the style. I was very impressed. Sadly, I'm going to have to create eps files for inclusion in the document, PDF versions for singular handouts, etc. > PM seems to have no problem placing a PDF page then sending it back out > through Distiller to PDF.

Here's my take on this: it is almost certainly a Bad Thing to do. The reason is that you are prejudging how the user uses PDF. There are other readers than Acrobat Reader; there are many users who do not install the web plug-ins, specifically so they always download PDF for later use. So, think carefully about what you intended to do. If you planned to put a message up saying to get Acrobat Reader; or initiate a download; or redirect to a different page: you will be seriously inconveniencing many of the most savvy PDF users.

What we do is create the fdf via the Adobe ActiveX fdf toolkit cuz we're pulling data from a db and inserting it into a fdf. Anyway, when we're using it to view a pdf form pre-filled by a fdf you need to set the file path like a url. Look at the fdf your creating in a txt editor if possible and change the file location to a url. Here's what our fdf looks like: ------------------------------- %FDF-1.2 %âãÏÓ 1 0 obj << /FDF << /Fields [ << /V /Off /T (AppEntityCorp)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityGP)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityHusWife)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityIndiv)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityJointV)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityLP)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityNonProfCorp)>> << /V /Off /T (AppEntityNonProfOrg)>> << /T (AppName)/V (Aylor Insurance Agency, Inc.)>> << /T (AppMailAdd1)/V (23688 El Toro Road , Ste 101)>> << /T (AppMailCity)/V (El Toro)>> << /T (AppMailSt)/V (CA)>> << /T (AppMailZip)/V (92630)>> << /T (AppVoiceAC)/V (714)>> << /T (AppVoiceNo)/V (581-2333)>> << /T (AppFaxAC)/V (714)>> << /T (AppFaxNo)/V (581-2814)>> << /T (AppDBA)/V ()>> << /T (AppDescOps)/V (Computer - Consulting)>> << /T (AppPrevCarrier)/V (Workers Comp)>> ] /F (http://yourdomainhere/iinforms/wc/scif-app.pdf) /ID (E\305\320\361\237\302\016d\336\013{H\344\034\2751)(h2y\302\230\027:\363\246 \314&\f\004\232\324\257) ] >> >> endobj trailer << /Root 1 0 R >> %%EOF Not a guru, but this is what seems to be working for us.

If I examine the contents of the self-extracting archive downloaded, I see what appears to be the installer program but no driver files to install. I note that this "upgrade" is only about 640K, whereas the previous 5.0.1 download was more like 1.8 MB. I have verified that the file I obtained is the exact same size as the one on the FTP site, and I made all of the usual checks (e.g., binary mode for download, installation as Administrator, permissions on the target directories). Has anyone successfully installed this new driver on a system *without* a previous PS driver? I have found that if I ran the 5.1 installer on a system *with* the 5.0.1 driver already installed, the installation program reported no errors, but the driver files in \WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\etc were *not* updated (i.e., the 5.0.1 files appeared to be untouched; they still report themselves as version "5.01.107" and maintain their file dates of 24- Sep-1998). It appears to me that Adobe has posted in error the installer program without including the driver files! -- Dave Bryan __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 5-Mar-1999 19:50:53-GMT,2140;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id MAA16047 for ; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 12:50:52 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA27468; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 13:46:58 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 5 Mar 1999 13:45:17 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA27328; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 13:45:16 -0600 X-Lotus-Fromdomain: NORTHERN TRUST From: "Usharani Badrinathan" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Message-Id: <8625672B.006C8CC8.00@chi-g01.ntrs.com> Date: Fri, 5 Mar 1999 13:44:51 -0600 Subject: [PDF]Read Acrobat 4 PDF via Reader 3?

If I examine the contents of the self-extracting archive downloaded, I see what appears to be the installer program but no driver files to install. I note that this "upgrade" is only about 640K, whereas the previous 5.0.1 download was more like 1.8 MB. I have verified that the file I obtained is the exact same size as the one on the FTP site, and I made all of the usual checks (e.g., binary mode for download, installation as Administrator, permissions on the target directories). Has anyone successfully installed this new driver on a system *without* a previous PS driver? I have found that if I ran the 5.1 installer on a system *with* the 5.0.1 driver already installed, the installation program reported no errors, but the driver files in \WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\etc were *not* updated (i.e., the 5.0.1 files appeared to be untouched; they still report themselves as version "5.01.107" and maintain their file dates of 24- Sep-1998).

First of all, the EOR is used by 35 agents on Banyan Network. Their computers are Pentium II 266 MHz with 64 RAM on Win95. They have a few on-line system opened for programs services of telecentre. This is the situation, when they access the resources via the main menu (TOC) that links to over 12 main documents-the largest document is about 500k and most are under 200k-when they click on the button to reach the Main Menu, once in it, its takes about 5-10 seconds before agent can start clicking again. After that brief moment, speed is no problem. It just to get started in the 2 largest document of resources. Also, I notice that agents Reader 3.0 only keeps one pdf document opened at a time, not more. Is there a setting in Adobe Reader 3.0 to control number of opened documents? Is this a setup/control that needs to be reconfigured by System Specialist network? Should they need to install the Adobe auto-close plug-in (Is it worthwhile)? All pdf documents originated from Microsoft Word 6.0. There are just plain text and colored text boxes. Absolutely no large graphics of any sort. Thanks ahead of time for response.

Sure - if your users are using Acrobat Exchange then you can use the Acrobat SDK to help you here. In particular - jump to the samples page http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk/iacsamples.html of the Acrobat SDK and download the following two samples. "DRAW Illustrates how to render the PDF page contents into another application's window using OLE 2.0 with Visual C++. (50KB) OIW Illustrates how to display a PDF file within another application's window using OLE 2.0 with Visual C++. (33KB" The tools to assist with this are mainly the samples and documentation contained in the SDK which you'll find at at http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk/docs.html I have only done this as a test exercise before --- (just to see it works), but I wouldn't class it as being a big project. However, you should allow yourself adequate time to familiarise yourself with the SDK. You might like to drop by our Code Cuts site - http://www.CodeCuts.com/ and read our ActiveX page - just in case you were thinking of using the PDF ocx for this. I hope this helps. regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com Planet PDF - PDF Store now open - http://www.pdfstore.com/ http://www.planetpdf.com/ __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 5-Mar-1999 23:07:13-GMT,2496;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id QAA21659 for ; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 16:07:11 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA10700; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 17:04:27 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 5 Mar 1999 17:02:58 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA10556; Fri, 5 Mar 1999 17:02:57 -0600 Message-id: Date: Fri, 05 Mar 1999 15:07:35 +0100 Subject: Re(2): [PDF] FYI> *REMOVED* - PDF Filter 1.0 for QuarkXPress 4.04 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Cc: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: werner@rapidgraphics.com (Steve Werner) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> pdf@lists.pdfzone.com writes: >Quark's PDF Filter 1.0 that was mentioned here yesterday appears to have >been removed from their web site, replaced with this message: > > This filter has been temporarily removed.

I downloaded the filter on Monday afternoon, tried it out on Tuesday morning, and in about 30 minutes found 2 major bugs. I happen to know a key person at Seybold Boston who passed on my bug report to Tim Gill at Quark (ironically, this was on PDF Day at Seybold!). When he found out, he had his programmers jump on the problems immediately. This is probably why the filter was withdrawn. When the filter is reposted, test it carefully before using. I don't think it had sufficient testing from real users.

Be sure the 'open cross-document links in same window' preference is not checked (default is checked) or the documents will be replaced into same window, rather than opened in separate windows. The CD I sent you a few weeks ago is configured to install Reader 3 English and French versions for Windows 3.1 or 95 with the option set properly. You don't need the Autoclose plugin with Acrobat 3. Your response time problems are not normal. We can open documents several megabytes in size and containing several hundred pages from our menu (Novell LAN) and begin typing immediately. We have it installed on 45 or so LANs, accessed by 3000 workstations, and have never had a response time complaint in four years. Even on our CD version on a laptop, delay is only a second or two. I would suggest that there are problems with the network which should be checked out. See if other programs are slow, too. - Derek MacEwen Veterans Affairs Canada Charlottetown PE robert.richard@hrdc-drhc.gc.ca wrote: > Last week, our Enquiry On-line resources for telecentre agents has been > release, but there is one minor problem. > > First of all, the EOR is used by 35 agents on Banyan Network.

Surely you didn't get a 100% larger file in this case? The % change in file size when TT fonts are used/embedded is a function of overall file size. THe font info adds a specific (variable with font) amount of "weight" to the file. This, incidentally, is why smaller (ie, more common, and typically word-processor generated documents) files suffer far more from the use of the dreaded TT fonts! I've seen CD-ROMs wherein 40% of the megs were taken up by font data embedded in each and every PDF by (doubtless) frustrated people wondering why they can only squeeze 8,000 pages on a disc!! >Then I put all four files in a single directory and indexed them via >Acrobat Catalog.

Yes.... ugh. Been there, done that. Back before I learned to document these things..... Can you continue to normalize the test? For instance... -- Generate the files on the same machine -- Use ONLY Distiller (embedding the TT fonts as appropriate). Or... use ONLY PDFWriter, then try it the other way. -- Try with and without Compressed Text and Images -- Try with and without Exchange File Optomization -- Try embedding, then try subsetting on and set to 99% -- Be sure all filenames are 8.3 -- Be sure to Catalog on the same machine -- Test the searches from both Windows and Mac platforms -- Everything else I forgot. >I'd appreciate ANY insights regarding these phenomena, but especially >about the reliability of TT fonts (and hence PDF Writer) to yield >reliable search results via Acrobat Catalog. As I recall from long ago, it has something to do with a disassociation between the font metrics and the text string. I'll sniff my (PS font) archive, see what I can find. As I have often reccomended (doubtless ad nauseum to old-timers) on this list, TT fonts stink for reasons other than this nasty Catalog question. For (if I may venture) most purposes, font substitution via Distiller is an option NOT to be rejected out of hand. Many TT fonts (and most of the common ones (Arial, Times New Roman, Symbol, etc.) are copies of PS fonts and may be substituted with near total faithfulness to the originating layout. Catalog is friendly with PS fonts! PS fonts are friendly in general! TT fonts are MEAN. Mean fonts SUCK!

You might like to drop by our PDF developer's resource center - Code Cuts - http://www.CodeCuts.com/ and checkout the VB example (under the IAC menu) - "How to extract pages to form individual PDFs from each page of a PDF file" http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?WebPageID=52 The IAC documentation can be found at http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk/docs.html It's fairly straightforward - and you can use the same technique in any language that supports OLE (VB, VC, PERL). If you need a little guidance with this - feel free to contact me, more than happy to help you out. regards, Karl De Abrew karl@PlanetPDF.com Planet PDF - AcroBuddies, Code Cuts and PDF Store http://www.PlanetPDF.com/ __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 7-Mar-1999 11:59:59-GMT,1660;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id EAA02322 for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 04:59:57 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA03950; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:55:03 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:51:17 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA03676; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:51:15 -0600 Message-Id: <199903071151.FAA03671@everglades.binc.net> Date: 04 Apr 99 12:54:36 +0000 From: Richard Lauterkranz Subject: [PDF] scale pages To: pdf X-Mailer: QuickMail Pro 1.5 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-Ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> Is there a chance to scale pages with the help of pdf marks?? __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 7-Mar-1999 13:56:19-GMT,2080;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id GAA04152 for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 06:56:18 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA10169; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 07:44:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sun, 7 Mar 1999 07:41:30 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA09927; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 07:41:28 -0600 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] scale pages Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 13:40:43 -0000 Message-ID: <000701be68a0$197051c0$510b83c1@dan.quite.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: <199903071151.FAA03671@everglades.binc.net> Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> > Is there a chance to scale pages with the help of pdf marks?? No. This can be done with standard PostScript instructions, so there is no need for a PDFMark. Though, because PostScript is tricky, there can be no single solution that will work for every possible PostScript document.

Please forgive me if this sounds silly but in the whacky often are gems of opportunity. One user only uses Exchange to make links and utilise other Exchange functions (but not to create PDF files). Another user only uses Distiller via a watched folder to convert PS into PDF. Does this mean I need two licenses or does this mean Exchange and Distiller are independent and thus the licenses are "detachable".

The index does not work out of the web server which is located in our headquarters, many miles away. No support is provided other than the space in the server to load the site. The server is not running Windows NT, therefore, it is not possible (true statement?) to run the Adobe freeware for search on the web. The solution to this point in time has been to configure each computer to an index in the local network. A button is provided on a web page to open the search function. An annoying feature is that, when opening a reference from the search window, the document comes from the index folder in the network and does not show itself in all its glory, but appears in the minimized window at the bottom of the screen. A better mousetrap, anyone? (no big bucks solutions, please).   Mario E.

My employer is in the process of a conversion with one of our major clients. Previously we have scanned positive film back to digital form (lzw tiffs) via copydot scanners. Over 100k yearly In the near future our client would like to provide us with PDF files. We are looking for the best solution possible to convert PDF files to postscript but more likely to tiff. What is the best solution for this job? A dedicated Hardware RIP (Harlequin)? Or possibly Image Alchemy. Conversion via Photoshop is very slow, res. is 1600. These files are coming from many different vendors so I am assuming we will require embedded fonts.

It doesn't work with 4.0... Installation Prerequisites: =========================== - Must have Reader 3.02 installer (AR302.EXE) available from Adobe.com. - Must have Reader 3.0/3.01 with Search non self-extracting installation set (from Reader CD, D:\ACROREAD\WIN\RDR_SRCH\32BIT). - Windows Temp directory is C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. You should clean this directory out before starting the installation. Installation Directions ======================= 1. Exit all programs except Windows Explorer. 2. Delete all files and folders within C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. 3. Launch AR302.EXE. 4. When you get to the Welcome screen of the setup program, go back to Windows Explorer and go into C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. There should be some new files and a couple of new folders. Look in the folders for the following files (mine were in a folder called ~EXB0000): _INST32I.EX_ _ISDEL.EXE _SETUP.DLL _SETUP.LIB ABCPYDOC.INI ARCHIVE.Z README.WRI SETUP.EXE SETUP.INS SETUP.PKG 5. Copy these files into another directory on your hard drive. 6. Go back to the Reader 3.02 setup and cancel it. 7. Copy the following files and directories from the Reader 3.0/3.01 with Search non self-extracting installation set: ACROREAD\HELP\ <= Copy entire directory ACROREAD\PLUG_INS\ <= Copy entire directory ACROREAD\ROOT\ <= Copy entire directory ACROREAD\ABCPY.INI 8. Paste these three directories and 1 file into the same directory where you put the Reader 3.02 files in step 4 above. 9. Run SETUP.EXE from the same directory where you put the Reader 3.02 files in step 4 above, installing this new version in a parallel directory to your existing Reader. 10.After installation, run the new Reader 3.02 and verify that the Search buttons are loaded in the toolbar. If it does, you're done. If not, you may have to tweak the ABCPY.INI file. See ABCPYDOC.INI for specifics on modifying this file. ------------------------------------ Scott Hamlow Technical Writer - New Technologies HK Systems, Inc.

As PDF has little knowledge of the structure of the document we tend to put the text and TeX tags (comparable with XML/SGML tags) in the PDF document. A plug-in uses this information for fast access and indeed as a private dictionary (keyword list). The information is there so why not use it in stead of generating non-validated listst.

That much can be done w/in PPT itself, but it's trickier to deal with naming the files as they're written ... ie filling in the What should I name it? dialogs. I think you can diddle ini files and whatnot to control this with PDFWriter, but PDFWriter and PPT97 don't get along all that well. It might be simpler to write to PS then programattically rename the resulting PS to something else (like the same name as the PPT file).

This is by far the easiest way. The other way to add custom fields is via a plug-in providing its own interface for setting fields. Once a field exists you can customise Catalog so that it indexes the field. It may handle numbers, not sure: Catalog is designed for searching for natural language. Certainly can't search for ranges, as might be appropriate for a salary. To make a field DISPLAY needs a custom plug-in. You cannot change the list of fields shown by Document Info > General. The plug-in would need to be installed in each copy of Exchange/Reader. Writing a Reader plug-in needs a special license. I can't think of anything in Acrobat 4 to make this process different/ Aandi -----Original Message----- I need a "simple" way to add a few custom document information fields to PDF files. These fields need to be searchable by capture and viewable with Adobe Exchange or Reader. The purpose is to scan resumes and then add custom fields such as "salary" etc. Salary needs to be a numeric field, and index via catalog. Is there a simple, or not too complex way to do this? Does any write custom plug-ins for Adobe Exchange that can do this? What about Adobe 4.0, any help?

Pretty greasy back then. But re-fried PDF tastes pretty good now! A few things to watch out for... -- Distiller can sometimes trip you up with font substitutions... be sure you get what you want! -- Distilling a mix of landscape and portrait pages in the same document can have wierd results. We usually fry these from seperate PS files where possible. -- I reccomend setting Grayscale and Color compression to the same settings -- If you are planning any work editing the files, do it after the fry-up. -- If you are Distilling PDF/Normal files (ie, paper-source as opposed to electronic-surce), then special care is needed. Objects can get a little unglued! -- FYI... Adobe does not support this process, so when you DO get the occasional screw-up, they won't want to know.... -- Other things that don't occur to me just now! Check out Quite a Box of Tricks (find it at www.pdfzone.com) for a low-calorie alternative to the deep-Distiller. QBT does not substitute fonts as an option, which is too bad from my perspective, and it's not batchable (yet), but it's very good. PS: Aandi does not need to pay me to say this!

Or is this > just one method of > fixing "unknown" troubles??? Yes. Re-frying is exactly as you describe it. Re-frying is especially useful when generating PDF/Normal files where high quality and low file-size are valued -- which is most of the time. If you are not in the business of making PDF from paper (water into wine, as some of us like to think of it!), there is generally less call for re-frying. A PDF/Normal file, especially if it includes color graphics and nasty TT fonts, is often reduced in size and improved in function with a little dip in Distiller. Sometimes, it's useful to re-fry paper AND electronically sourced PDFS to obtain certain results, such as font substitution, page size normalization, and especially, image reprocessing to lower resolution and compression settings. Printing a PDF to PS and re-frying can clean up annoying miscellaneous problems, and usualy results in at least a modest file size slimming (which is why I never really liked the term re-frying at all... seems more like "double-baking" to me...) Off to dinner!

The file I originally posted about was a Normal file of about 60 pages with colour graphics and TrueType fonts. So to get a file reduction of 50% sounds pretty good to me since it is posted on a site for download. As a side note to listers it was interesting to note that the file I downloaded was not optimized, contained a 2 page Table of Contents with no links to the relevant pages, no bookmarks and contained about 40 blue text underlined url's which were not linked. This spells opportunity to me, in that there are a lot of people who know what Acrobat is but lack either the will or the skill to really make it work to it's potential. It is incumbent on us as as PDF professionals to instruct them.... for a small fee of course ! ;-o Dean Real World __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 10-Mar-1999 12:19:04-GMT,1975;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id FAA03800 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 05:19:03 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA14143; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 06:13:31 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Mar 1999 06:12:25 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA14060; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 06:12:24 -0600 Message-ID: <36E6FCC6.2576A4BB@realworld.com.au> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 23:14:47 +0000 From: Dean Laffan X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "pdf@lists.pdfzone.com" Subject: [PDF] merging PDF's Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> Hi All This one passed on from a friend: I was wondering if perhaps you could help me.

Not least of them is the reference to the font "helvetica", which does not exist, while "Helvetica" is a standard font (note the case). What SHOULD happen is that Courier is substituted instead. Perhaps Distiller cannot find the fonts included with it; reinstall. The "proofing device" message is not coming from Distiller, but from something inside the PostScript. Probably unrelated.

The AdobePS 5.x Windows NT PostScript drivers do not currently support the watermark feature supported by the AdobePS 4.x Windows'9x PostScript drivers. There is currently no commitment to implement this feature although it is certainly on the list of features requested both by Adobe OEMs and end-users. One should note that due to the nature of PostScript, the Windows GDI-based printing architecture, and the fact that a number of key applications "go around" the driver for much of their printing, selection of a watermark in the AdobePS 4.x drivers does NOT assure that one will actually print on every page with every application. - Dov __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 10-Mar-1999 16:43:39-GMT,3557;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA09687 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 09:43:38 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA03798; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:40:03 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:38:54 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA03626; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:38:52 -0600 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19990310163901.00977a70@env-sol.com> X-Sender: thiersch@env-sol.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 08:39:01 -0800 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Tom Thiersch Subject: Re: [PDF] Acrobat Reader 3.02 or 4.0 w/Search plug-in Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> re: ">I can't be the only person who needs Reader 3.02 or up with the Search plug-in...! You're not, and I can't believe that Adobe still hasn't fixed this oversight. I think the absence of Search will be a major stumbling block when it comes to getting the majority of people to upgrade to Reader 4. For some as-yet-unexplained reason, the Search plug-in became unavailable with the appearance of the 3.02 fix package, and has yet to re-appear in even the most recent beta of the Version 4 Reader. Quoting Adobe's page at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/acrrwhatsnew.html "Coming Soon - Final Acrobat Reader 4.0 software will be available for download for Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX in 12 languages. Acrobat Reader 4.0 with Search will only be available on the Acrobat Reader 4.0 CD-ROM." and http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/cdrom40.html "The Acrobat Reader 4.0 CD-ROM will be available in the United States for a price of US$15 per CD-ROM (which includes shipping and handling charges). " Someone from Adobe should explain this new policy, rather than leaving us all to speculate. If they need to collect a license fee for the Search plug-in (that's only *my* guess), then let's get that out on the table so I can adjust my products' prices and/or packaging accordingly.

It has downsampling problems. These are fixed in Acrobat 4. PDF files with images that printed great but displayed poorly with Acrobat 3, with print and display well with Acrobat 4 -- no need to recreate the PDF file. To get decent screen display of images with Acrobat 3, you must downsample, either in your application or via distillation, down to something closer to 72dpi or whatever your display's resolution is. However, you are then likely to get poor printing. Given that Acrobat 4's release is not at all far away, I would personally opt now to create the PDF file that prints OK with Acrobat 3 and whose display problems will be resolved very soon. - Dov At 3/9/99 11:19 PM , Anu_A1@verifone.com wrote: > >Hi >I guess this is the most repeated question on this list.

The former.... Occasionally, it's good to re-process an existing electronically sourced PDF -- but almost always because something else (like font management) has been overlooked earlier in the production process and it's too late/painful to go back to the Frame, or whatever. > You want to take someone ELSE's PDF, which you downloaded, > and post it > somewhere else as a smaller file? > > What's a Normal file? A PDF/Normal file is a term of art for a PDF generated via the Capture process (ie, from paper). These files contain "bits" of original source-image (typically bi-tonal) in appropriate locations, as well as formatted text. The signature on a letter, for instance, is "left" as the original bitmap, but the "sincerely" etc are converted to text. <> There are a number PDF/Normal samples on the Document Solutions, Inc. web site at http://www.document-solutions.com. <> Duff Johnson Document Solutions, Inc. duffj@document-solutions.com http://www.document-solutions.com __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 10-Mar-1999 18:12:12-GMT,1825;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id LAA12426 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 11:12:11 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA13301; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:08:16 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:07:07 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA13170; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:07:05 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-Sender: kfoss@mailbag.com Message-Id: Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:05:53 -0600 To: PDF@lists.pdfzone.com From: Kurt Foss Subject: [PDF] PDF of NCAA Basketball Brackets Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> FYI -- Anyone looking for a printable version of the college basketball tournament pairings (for the office betting pool) might be interested in the following 'PDF Showcase' feature: PDF Hoop-la '99 http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/ncaabb99-nyt.html rgds ~ Kurt __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 10-Mar-1999 19:15:43-GMT,2640;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id MAA14239 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:15:42 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA20605; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:10:26 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:08:44 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA19681; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:08:41 -0600 Message-ID: <885A4EB7A494D211A832006097925E3C51AEDE@cas02.cas-inc.com> From: "Saccuzzo, Robin" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: RE: [PDF] Extracting PDF Page Size Info Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:13:10 -0600 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> Look to http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?MenuID=147&WebPageID=224 To see an example using OLE.

Its target market is large corporations and agencies. In volume, Acrobat Exchange currently runs under $40 for 10 units to 5000+ units, according to the Adobe public Web pages [go to www.adobe.com, hit the Search button on the upper right, and look for Acrobat volume license program to see the latest.] Note this is this Exchange alone, not including Distiller, Capture, Catalog, etc., for which the bundle price currently runs under $90 in volume. In Exchange 4.0, you can create signature fields when authoring forms, create signature fields on the fly, sign signature fields, and validate signatures in documents you receive. Unlike simple encrypted-checksum schemes for arbitrarty files, Acrobat signatures are full parts of the document, and include a visible appearance in the document (text, handwriting, chop, fingerprint, etc.). Multiple signatures are allowed, and any multiple-signature document can be rolled back to exactly the version of the document that a particular person signed. Versions can be compared to highlight differences. (In fact, any two PDF files can be compared to highlight differences.) Adobe provides the signing framework, a simple out-of-the-box plugin, and encourages third-party signing plugins. Digital signatures are Windows only in the initial release, but will be available on the Mac in a subsequent release. If you open a signed document in Reader 4.0 or Reader 3.x or Exchange 3.x, you will be able to see and print the signature appearances on the various pages, but you cannot validate them or manipulate them. If you open a signed document in Acrobat 1.x or 2.x, you will get a note about Widget annotation handler missing, or you will trip over the lack of flate decompression in these early versions.

I'm not sure that I understand their process, but the drafting technician I am working with exports the files to DXF, then runs a "DXF to PostScript" DOS script, and sends the resultant PostScript files to [Windows] Distiller for PDF creation. [Now that we are settling on PDF for online distribution of drawings and schematics, they are looking at easier solutions.] The majority of the resultant PostScript files distill very well. In looking at the code for the flushed PostScript files, there are instances of _helvetica mixed in with _Helvetica. Hmm. No one in drafting can explain why this is happening, and neither can I. After I manually change every instance of _helvetica to _Helvetica, the file distills fine. However, this is tedious and it not an acceptable solution for the many engineering drawings that we want to convert to PDF. A software developer has written a PERL script that will open the resultant PS file and change all instances of _helvetica to _Helvetica. This works well and resolves the problem. Why my version of distiller is not substituting Courier for the _helvetica is unknown to me. I do have Courier on my computer, and Distiller is looking at it. I did reload distiller (Win 95 v3.02). Still, no font substitution occurs. I can't find anything in Distiller that talks about font substitutions, other than the [false] statement that Courier will be substituted. I'd like to create a font substitution: helvetica = Helvetica, but this appears impossible to me. I also considered creating a new font "helvetica" from the "Helvetica" that I have in my computer. But, I was unable to rename the PFBs to "helvetica". The PFB file names are not case sensitive. When I copied Helvetica and renamed it helvetica I got an immediate error message stating that a file named Helvetica was already present. So, the PERL script mentioned above seems to be the best solution to our "Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont" flushed-file problem. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

It looks to me like what we'll have is: Windows Acrobat = Feature Set A + Feature Set B now Mac Acrobat = Feature Set A now + Feature Set B to come later.

I'd hardly call that two distinctly different products and certainly wouldn't put the Mac=Graphics/Windows=Business spin on it that Nicholson did in this article. I'd *expect* Publish to see it that way given the long-standing Macbiases they've shown since issue one, but that's a different story.

Publish Magazine's article was speculative rather than relying on actual information received or requested from Adobe. I suspect that we have learned once again that no good deed goes unpunished. The idea was to get the base Acrobat 4, with the features being begged for by the pre-press community, out the door as quickly as possible rather than wait for some of what would otherwise be considered "the frosting" to be ready for all platforms. In terms of "what to tell your accounts," Adobe is fully committed to product feature equality across platforms to the fullest extent allowed by the platforms themselves. (And that isn't always so easy!) I believe that our actual product deliveries over the last few years have proven this to be the case.

I agree, but don't forget that it was at least 18 months after the release of Acrobat Version 3 before Windows NT users had access to the "complete" product feature set (e.g., PDFWriter). Unix users: Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't there still some features that aren't available to you in Version 3? In other words, if your business depends on a particular feature, don't hold your breath waiting for it. Mac users who absolutely need something new like the Web spidering tool should just bite the bullet, spend $1000 on a modest Wintel PC, and then transfer the results to their Macs. In most cases, they already have such a PC (they just won't admit it) and they'll need that PC anyway for final cross-platform testing of their products.

Bet you a six pack of your favorite that Adobe gets the Mac version of Acrobat up to speed a good bit faster than that. Remember that at the time, NT4 was just coming out and there really weren't that many people using NT of any flavor for DTP or even office-level publishing. The installed NT base may not have justified a major programming effort; waiting to see whether NT4 replaced NT3.x quickly was, IMO, a smart move.

I can vouch first-hand for Adobe's tendency to change their minds. If I mentioned half of the product plans that were scrapped in the time I worked there, jaws would drop.

I ran into this problem last year, and actually it is quite simple. You can't use TrueType fonts with Distiller and expect to get searchable PDFs. What confuses the issue is the PostScript driver - if it substitutes a TrueType font with a Type 1 (as it will by default for Arial and Times) then the resulting text will be searchable. By the way, you don't need to Catalog a PDF to find out if it will be searchable; just select some suspect text with the text selection tool, and look at the contents of the clipboard. If it matches the text you selected, it will catalog OK as well, because Catalog uses the same text extraction mechanism when building an index. So what does work? TrueType AND Type 1 fonts will work with PDF Writer; it can embed both of these without running into font encoding problems (the core of this issue.) Distiller on the other hand receives a TrueType font in the PostScript stream in a number of formats, depending on how the PostScript driver is set. The default is Type 42, essentially a TrueType font in a PostScript 'wrapper'. The alternatives such as outlines and bitmaps exhibit the same problem, which is that the font encoding gets 'lost' - the appearance of the text is OK, but the text extraction mechanism cannot map the glyphs back to 'real' text. To overcome this problem in an environment where TrueType fonts were the norm, it was necessary to have Type 1 versions of the fonts in question and set these up with the AdobePS PostScript drivers so that font substitution could take place when printing to Distiller. This was relatively painless with AdobePS 4.2.X as there is a 'Update soft fonts' button on the Fonts.. panel which will update the list of fonts from which you can choose the substitutes, to include all the Type 1 fonts in the \PSFONTS folder.

I don't look for plots. I look for elegant solutions to difficult problems and PDF is the most elegant I have seen since Postscript. We all congratulate Adobe on their Seybold/Boston coup - even if it required a non-simultaneous launch of all features for all platforms. That doesn't mean that Adobe's marketing minds will always do justice to the technology, however. Marketing interests can sometimes skew development. According to Publish's Nicholson we were one magazine issue cycle away from that happening here - that is a sobering thought. There are a few "pit bulls" who visit this list who will let their opinions be known if they even smell a divergence from Apple on the universality issue. And we will expect Adobe to apply their considerable resources (our revenue stream) to do OUR bidding - which is to go the extra distance to make the product as universal as possible. Adobe did screw up - they are the one's who published "Available for Windows only." for 9 features on all of their Acrobat 4 literature. I am thrilled that Warnock acknowledges the mistake. Adobe should be ecstatic that people are chiming in on the PDF vision - for Acrobat 4, SVG, and InDesign. Don't mistake dissonance for discord. We are the early adopters who share both your product and your vision. And, Dov, we sincerely appreciate your participation in this user list - your frequent comments speak well for Adobe. C.

Some of the solutions helped in resolving the print quality, but none really improved the online quality of my screen shots. The solution I used: This was offered to me by chance by my own collegue. (This is a Windows solution, I am not aware of the Mac) Change your display resolution to 640 by 480 pixels, and the color palette to 256 colors before you capture the screen you want. Save as jpeg or tiff by pasting the image into photoshop. Insert it into the Framemaker doc and then distill. This screen shot will now view beautifully in your pdf at higher resolutions. Never seen such good screen shots before. Would encourage you to try this and get back if u come across any glitches. It seems too good and too easy to be true. The only problem is that if the screen is resized, it gets terrible. How does one circumvent that problem? Thanks and hope this solution helps some of you.

Yes, this can be done. I just cant find my instructions right now. I was shown. I know you can create your basic button in say, Illustrator, take it into media editor, set your functions necessary and save. you should be able to use it each time you need to without recreating functions.

("TT with PS wrapper"?) well, it beats wierd stuff that selects using the "select text tool" but not the "text touchup tool". Second: In this same stupid file (but graphics stay put relative to text better than Miserable Stinking Word) I have at least one image that refuses to print correctly to either PDFwriter or distiller. It looks great on screen. When it gets to the printer, only the top 2/5 of it is there. Weird. I stripped the file to only the offending graphic, sized it to 400%, copied it to the clipboard, pasted it to Photo Paint 8. It looks great there. I guess I can replace the one in Excel with my re-??? pic from PP8. Any idea how to avoid this mess from the beginning?

I confess I had not explicitly hoped for this feature (I am too stupid, I am afraid), but it met my needs at the very minute I opened the Acrobat 4 beta box. As I am too modest to consider the whole web as a private online folder - furthermore it makes me dizzy - , I often think more efficient to extract pages subsets from sites into PDF local files easier to search and view later. I guess that my customers too will be interested with transfering web pages into their Intranet sites : most of firms don't allow workstations to connect directly to www (protecting them against such disasters like : viruses, starr reports, and so on).

I guess. A classic example of a feature looking for a need. I'm dying for someone to tell me about how will really help them out. ------------ There are many reasons why features show up in programs and why some don't. Of course, most of this is pure speculation on my part... REASON #1: REMOVING THE HTML LEGACY OBJECTION During their keynote address, what is the first thing that Adobe demonstrated during the introduction of InDesign? Conversion from Quark Xpress. Why? Because they wanted to eliminate the objection that most people would have to a new Page Layout program - their investment in archived Quark files. In a similar vein, Web Capture reduces the objection many people might have to employing PDFs more often in their web sites. The #1 rule in sales, make the product easy to buy - or, in this case, the format easy to convert to. REASON #2: CROSS-MEDIA APPLICATIONS The beauty of the function is the ability to take HTML pages that are NOT essentially cross-media (i.e., they print erratically) and it gives them a page structure so that they can be delivered cross-media with their links intact. If you are producing materials that are going to be distributed to laptop users this might be a neat feature. I have already produced CDs with PDF conversions of Web Captured materials because there is no reason to reinvent the documents if all they are missing is page structure. It also saves the user from having to connect to the internet to get the information. A salesman on the road is good example. Driving along in his car (or in flight) he is about to call on an account whose website he Web Captured in his hotel room the night before. No need to hook up to a phone jack because the website is right there - of the client, the latest updated sales information from his own company, stock quotes, you name it. He can even reference the info during presentations without having to sweat the reliability of the clients web hookup. REASON #3: BROWSER POLITICS AND THE W3C I also think introducing Web Capture at Seybold/Boston was a clarion call to the W3C (situated at MIT across the Charles River). HEY! We think PDF and our version of web pages with vector graphics should be taken a LITTLE more seriously when you are establishing standards for future browsers. After all, PDF is a much more stable publishing format than HTML (or was that DHTML?, CSS?, the IE4 version? Navigator version?). Adobe is taking the lead on SVG and making that loud and clear to the W3C and the publishing community. What is the #1 objection to posting PDFs on the WWW? The Viewer is a plug-in that has to be downloaded and installed. Just maybe the W3C will start requiring that all browsers should come with something like PDFViewer already installed or, better yet, built in. Wouldn't that make US happy! C.

Since I posted originally, I got quite a few e-mails telling me all about how wrong I was, and how cool this feature really is, how many problems it will solve, etc. I understand (thanks everyone, please stop now!) that there are applications for this. I see the potential for a number of problems which may cause folks who rely on this thing some grief.... -- How will java applets be represented? -- How will animations, shockwave etc. be handled? -- What about links to files other than HTML? -- What about server-dependant resources? -- ...and the forms? -- and is Adobe going to chase and incorporate all the new web doo-dads already here and on the way? Many sites are impractical to "PDF-Cache" for size reasons, and many others really don't work well without a server to talk to... On the Adobe Site, they state the following advantages of this feature.... >-> Web administrators can archive entire sites. Sure, but not in such a way that the component elements of the site are as retrievable and re-workable as the HTML itself. Why not simply copy the site to a local drive, then zip it, if necessary? Also... what of the issues with graphics and programming, as above? >-> Graphic and Web designers can create instant, compact >-> portfolios or e-mail comps of Web sites under >-> development to clients for electronic review and markup. ...without above mentioned graphic design and programming components, sure. Big deal! The best web portfolio is a(n) URL... isn't it? What am I missing here? I know that I wouldn't review web work done for me in a PDF (unless it was a PDF site).

An invitation to copyright abuse! No, seriously (well, I was serious, but forget it). This is fine... but for reference and research, I'd MUCH rather have a little 'bot that sniffs competitors (and other) sites for changes, then notifies me and takes me there if I want to go look. MS Internet Exploder already allows "subscription" to a site...which is almost the same thing.

I would contend (and advise anyone who asked) that this is the WRONG way to author PDF -- with (essentially) HTML as the authoring front end. And... when you've converted, you're "frozen" there. I can't imagine this is gonna make a sale to a webmaster, but I've been wrong before.... I think your point would be better taken if Adobe had announced a really good HTML to PageMaker converter. Far better to get folks to author both HTML AND PDF from PageMaker, et al! Not to mention the PM sales!

I'm not really qualified to address this point -- other than to opine that if the "claion call" were the goal, I think I'd find a better way for Adobe to make their case. Which (in my view) would be an open-source authoring enviroment with a very Acrobatic Acrobat as the Main Output Flavor. Now... Quark to PM is VERY impressive, and goes a long way in this direction. My sense is that Web Capture cleverness is a "while we're at it" side-show (technically and otherwise) for the QuarKiller move. > What is the #1 objection to posting PDFs on the WWW?

It's often overlooked that for a product to really be successful, it not only has to please its existing customers. It also has to create new markets and find new customers. I think web capture has the potential to do that - to seek out new life and new civilisations, I mean new customers who never even thought of PDF before, or never used anything but the free Reader. This could be the killer feature that gets Acrobat reviewed and sold in entirely new markets. So it doesn't have to appeal to any existing customers at all. Though I think it will. For instance, it can be viewed as just a way to actually print web pages without the text being cut half way through a line - neither IE nor Netscape has the most ideal approach to typography. Also, a way to take images of web sites away for reference or demonstration. So this may be an important component in paying the huge development costs of 4.0 (now, who was it said that web capture belongs in the free Reader...)? And on into 5.0. We'll see.

I think this is an important point. Part of our sales process for convincing clients to use Acrobat as the *wrapper* for their info is universality of pdf. ie: * It's OK we''ll include an installer for Reader if they don'y have it * etc etc Often they say: * But we've got a lot,or all, of the info on our website or intranet can't we just use that as it is? * Then we have to explain to them the difference between HTML and PDF and spell out the advantages of PDF. With WebCapture it is now at our discretion as developers to be able to answer the above question: * No problems * It is largely irrelevant to them whether it is in native HTML or PDF (I know there are exceptions) This gives us as developers a lot more flexibility as to how we tackle a project. It may also solve some of the issues of integrating HTML and PDF in CD projects I think this is a very smart move by the Acrobat team and should bring acceptance of PDF to a lot of areas that have been either reluctant or ignorant of it's uses in the past. Now... lets just hope it works as we think it will ! ;-) Dean Real World __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 14-Mar-1999 1:56:50-GMT,2215;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id SAA25731 for ; Sat, 13 Mar 1999 18:56:48 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA04397; Sat, 13 Mar 1999 19:53:57 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 13 Mar 1999 19:52:17 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA04279; Sat, 13 Mar 1999 19:52:16 -0600 Message-ID: <36EBB171.86FB62A3@realworld.com.au> Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 12:54:13 +0000 From: Dean Laffan X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] OPINION: 3 Reasons for Web Capture References: <199903131837.MAA12161@everglades.binc.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> Clay McCullough wrote: SNIP > My FTP Client, Anarchie, has a "Get Entire Web Site" function. > > Isn't this more or less the same thing that the new Acrobat feature is doing? > > Obviously, Anarchie doesn't format to PDF... but isn't the Acrobat version of "Get Entire Web Site" just a fancy and expensive alternative to what a $10 FTP client can do?

Can anyone recommend a good online Acrobat font tutorial? In particular, I'm interested in knowing when Acrobat rasterizes fonts, how it picks the dpi for the font, and what can be done to prevent it or improve the appearance. For instance, the drawing application I'm currently using lets you take a TT font and then stretch or squeeze the text box. The text is still TT within the application (not bit-mapped or vectorized). But, when I send it out to the distiller, the output in Acrobat Exchange appears to be a rasturized version of the font. This would be OK, if it used a higher resolution raster.

On the other hand, when you send a TrueType font through the PostScript driver this may happen. The driver makes a decision that at small sizes you'll get better printing quality if the font is converted to a bitmapped font. On some platforms you can control this. From the printers control panel, go to printer properties, find the font tab, click on SEND FONTS AS, look for a threshold value, and set it to 1.

I appreciate all the responses generated in response to my (now deeply regretted) sally re Web Capture. I've spent some more time with the feature now, and I like it. So... I'd like my name EXPURGATED from the list of "anti-Web Capturers"! Having said that... I guess I see both Conceptual and Functional issues. Conceptually, I (now) see that there are certainly many uses for Web Capture. I cannot reject the feeling, however, that the concept blurs the essential purpose of PDF. After all... are we after the replacement of HTML, or by extension, other markup languages with PDF? As a dedicated PDF evangelist, I don't think so! What does it really prove to a client that Acrobat can now convert HTML to PDF? I "Captured" several web sites last night, and I did not get one result that was, in my view, presentable. The caveat, of course, is an environment where presentation is not the issue; research, legal, etc. Fair enough. To Adobe's credit, archive-grade files are mostly not a problem (although the result is overly "read-only" to me... not like archived HTML, for sure). I'm just having trouble with the idea that "cool" is the conversion of final published documents from (hopefully) well-designed HTML to ratty-looking PDF rather than full-featured conversion of AUTHORING documents between applications. (QuarKiller!!) Markup languages are good for some things! A powerful, versatile page-description format, (PDF) is good for highly related things. When _properly_ authored, PDF can often perform as well or better as HTML at the traditional HTML game. The capacity to make PDF function as the browser has been around for a while, and it's in wide use, but generally not as a wholesale replacement for major areas of a website. Take a look at all those PDF-Only web sites out there! (not). No bombs, please! Functional Issues ----------------- But... whatever. Some comments appear (to me) to assume capacity, reliability and quality of output well beyond the capabilities of the Beta4 Web Capture engine. Note... as stated earlier, this is not really an issue for research/reference archiving purposes, nor for quick-reference snap-shots, granted. A few specific issues: --Graphics. While a 72 dpi hi-compression JPEG might be acceptable in a no-zoom HTML browser, it looks like hell under any magnification on a PDF. --Flaky handling of JavaScript and apps. --Occasional mishandling of nested tables, frames and forms. --Inability to deselect file types for automated Capture could easily result in MASSIVE downloads. The ability to DE-select, say, PDFs (!) from Web Capture of an entire site seems important! -- Offline users will be frustrated by the need to reconnect to the Web for every server-side interaction. Granted, this is true with off-line HTML as well. The difference is that offline would be the main application for Web Capture.... -- The thing has limited value for presentations, because it's unpredictable, correctable/editable within the limits of Acrobat (and plugins, et. al.) won't support active features, like animated GIFs, shockwave, etc. -- I crashed Web Capture (set to 3 levels) running against the Adobe site last night. I got about 5 pages - 500 K, before it died, though! Oh my! Back to work.

I wonder if they know about TeX or PDFTex and batchwise document creation. We just finished a PDF document (20.000 screens) on CDROM that contains the Dutch schoolexams. Teachers can select items with the forms plugin. The selection (FDF) is mailed to the publisher. The selection is used to create an A4 PDF document which is sent back to the teacher as an email attachement. The workflow is completely automated. We'd like to refer to this workflow as Publishing on Demand. Sources are coded with CONTeXt commands and for processing we use PDFTeX. I wouldn't know of any other tools that could do this for us. At the moment we are building our site at www.pragma-ade.nl. An example of the schoolexams will be part of it.

That's annoying at times (ie when you don't want to populate the fields but build an index: In the search result window your files are going to show up with the not pretty file name as a title...), but in your case it seems to be just what you want.

A more helpful suggestion: In the Adobe documentation I ran across a mention of something which sounds similar. Of course I can't lay my hands on it at the moment, but the basic idea was that this is caused by a problem with the printer driver, especially when using NT machines. You can download a latest-version printer driver from the adobe web site. http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/ hth Mary At 05:10 PM 3/15/99 -0500, Michael DeSavoy wrote: ><- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> > > >> I have recently bought Adobe Acrobat Exchange 3.0 .

That is correct, Lynne if I close all my open pdf files and restart Acrobat, the display is back to normal...which seems to be an indication that the pdf file was fine to start with...but Acrobat seems to go bezerk when more that one pdf file is open at the same time. This is a major inconvenience for me as I am experimenting publishing pdf files on a web site which contains hyperlinks to other pdf files...I soon as i click on a hyperlink, the 'phenomenon of missing letters' reappears...

We've added the basic mechanisms to the file format to support structured information. This will give our developers the ability to roundtrip more information and even use PDF as a generic document format. It is now possible to merge XML structure and PDF layout in a single document and later extract the XML when needed. We also envision coming out with an XML version of FDF and proposing this as a generic forms data interchange format." I'm assuming this means that a document developed in an XML publishing environment and then PDF'd would retain its XML structural element tags. Will this be immediately available in 4.0 or is it a feature to watch for in later releases? Any additional insights would be greatly appreciated.

Now we would like to convert these files to PDF Image+text files for the full-text search capability, by adding Background Hidden search text. For each page/file we have a text file of around 300-400 chrs that needs to be added as Background Hidden text. We do not want to use Capture /Reviewer solution as all the pages contain Handwritten text which is not recognised by Capture, we are forced to delete all the recognised text and add text page by page and the process is very slow and tedious. We tried to convert the PDF Image files to Postscript, add the text (BT) to the postscript file and then distill the ps file to get PDF Image+Text. As of now we have not succeded in getting a PDF Image+text file using the distiller. Please let us know: 1. Whether it is possible to add Background hidden Text to PDFImage only files and save them as PDFImage+Text files using any plug-ins for Exchange? Is this feature available in Version 4.0? 2. What settings will make distiller produce a PDF Image+text file rather than Image only files ? Thanking you in advance J.Muralikrishnan New Technology Development Vetri Software India Ltd.

I produce pdf files from ps files using the distiller (the ps files were created from dvips, Miktek). Sometimes, when i visualise my pdf file, either through Exhange directly, or within microsoft explorer, the output is full of 'holes' with letters missing at random? It is pretty hard to replicate this phenomenon as it doesn t happen all the time, and i haven't figured out what triggers it... Has anyone seen this before, and know the way to get rid of this annoying behaviour? Regards.

Recent posts have concluded that each user using Acrobat needs a license: not simply each machine to which it is installed. Clearly, Adobe never intended to sell one copy of Acrobat and allow entire companies to create PDF using it. Of course, if you have a site license for Acrobat on every system AND this is a private intranet web site, that may not be an obstacle. Aandi > We are looking for a web-frontend to Distiller. Anyone?

I think a program like Distiller screams for a web-based approache. I guess Adobe's strict licensing has effectively kept any developer from filling this gap?

Congratulations Arnoud, you have hit on one of the truly exciting directions that PDF publishing is headed. First, there is no prohibition from doing this. The place you want to look is GLYPHICA (http://www.glyphica.com). While their InfoPortal product may not be quite what you expect budget-wise, their product is innovative, elegant and backed by Adobe Ventures money (Adobe wants solutions like this to be developed). Former employees of Adobe, these guys have the inside scoop on all things PDF - both engineering and marketing. InfoPortal effectively turns your browser (any browser on any platform) into an authoring environment for uploading, organizing by folder, checking in and out for workgroup, assigning access privileges, adding metadata information, and REMOTELY converting files to PDF (both Distilling and Capturing) on the fly. One installed server (with a dongle) serves all. Uploaded files can be searched by metadata or full text search as you wish - between docs and PDFs. It is very appropriate for companies who want EDMS capabilities without the EDMS price or start-up latency (the really expensive part of any EDMS implementation). If you are serious, contact craig@glyphica.com. Deidre Paknad, the CEO, is a frequent contributor to this listserv. C.

I can't help you in terms of plugins, or re-writing code, but I do have a very low tech solution. Recently, for example, I scanned, captured, and acrobat cataloged, 900 pages of drawings by children. Each drawing also contains a handwriting description in the individual childs hand. It is this handwriting decription that I needed to "OCR" for the search engine. I also use this method with advertising that contains fonts I don't have or can't identify. If you have the .ACD files you can easily do it there, but normally I do it in advance with illustrator before distilling. I simply type in text using Helvetica or one of the other built in fonts, at 8 points or whatever (doesn't matter) in the same color as the background. Usually, this would be white text on white background, or black text on a black background. Thus, I get invisible text that can be cataloged. If I want to check spelling or whatever, in cases where I can't see the type well enough when highlighted, I copy all the hidden text to the clipboard and then view the clipboard. If I don't have a solid background on which to type, then I use the border area. If the border area isn't large enough, I either make it larger or I decrease the size of the font. I've even used 5 pt fonts for this. Now, this may not at all work for you and I apologize if I've wasted your time, but the way I see it... only "keywords" need to be typed in. It can be a persons name, or the first three or four words of a phrase, etc. Clay McCullough www.imageplex.com __________________________________________________________________ * Pre-ORDER Adobe ACROBAT 4.0 * $219 Free download of pre-release version of Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: * PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" * 16-Mar-1999 18:13:32-GMT,2335;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id LAA10806 for ; Tue, 16 Mar 1999 11:13:26 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA14712; Tue, 16 Mar 1999 12:07:43 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 16 Mar 1999 12:04:23 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA14370; Tue, 16 Mar 1999 12:04:22 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990316131808.0093f6b0@pop.iglou.com> X-Sender: rdp@pop.iglou.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 13:18:08 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Steve Rindsberg Subject: Re: [PDF] Solid Black Header Mystery In-Reply-To: <85256736.00584518.00@keybank.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-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- The PDF list is a free resource sponsored & managed by PDFzone.COM -> >I'm hoping someone can help me determine whether the problem we're having >is due to how our PDF files were generated, or if our Hewlett Packard >printers have a problem.

Does anyone knows a tool that allow me to find words in PDF files and make the word found a link to a another PDF file ? Thanks in advanced. -- A H | A H | Interlinea2000 Comunicaciones, S.A.

I am now able to shed the following light: 1. The problem occurs as soon as 2 pdf documents are opened at the same time in Acrobat Exchange. 2. The problem affects the second document being opened only. Hence, it looks as though it wasn't specific to a file... 3. The problem occurs irrespective of whether Acrobat Exchange runs on its own, or whether imbedded into Microsoft Explorer browser window. (Although marginally worse within browser) 4. One solution to the problem CAN be rejected: it was suggested to me that my installation of Acrobat was not complete because of a missing poscrcipt printer driver. That was INDEED the case, and I was very hopeful that this would crack it. Unfortunately, after installing a ps printer driver (Apple LaserWriter II NTX), and re-installing Acrobat Exchange 3.0 (which was 100% succesful this time), the problem of 'missing letters' still remains... Can anyone crack this? I'll let you know. Regards.

One of our clients mentioned a plug-in doing this. The plug-in was developed by Techno Design (techdes@knoware.nl). The plug-in is not based on a database but it scans PDF-files for specific words and creates the interdocument links. It worked fine in their quality manual consisting of 1000+ PDFfiles.

As near as I can tell, that's not a good idea. PDFWriter will automatically print to file, and I've found that when both the app and driver and spooler are all trying to make files, they end up stepping on one another's toes something fierce. My PDFWriter's set to LPT1. Happy as a clam there, makes files all day long. The other oddity I've run into with some apps is that if PDFWriter's set up to view the PDF automatically, bad things can happen ... PowerPoint97 totally locks up, for instance. If setting the driver to a normal port and leting it make files on its own doesn't get this sorted out, I'd try clearing the View PDF option (or whatever it's called) in PDFWriter's setup.

The CGI script asks for a username and password before sending the PDF. The reason we do this is that the PDFs consist of confidential data and we want to know who is looking at them - in addition this prevents the person from simply bookmarking the PDF and retrieving it later without logging in. This works GREAT on Netscape, but unfortunately Internet Explorer issues a blank page. I tried talking to Adobe support, but they were unable to assist me with this problem. This is not the ocxinst.exe problem nor is it an IE security limiting problem. I am sending the data like this (half perl half pseudo code): print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n\n"; # Read blob data from Oracle print $blob; Is there something else I need to do to get IE to realize this is PDF? It launches Exchange, but displays a blank page. . . Any information or pointers are appreciated.

The URL may need to end .pdf, because that's what IE likes to see (MIME types not good enough, apparently). 2. IE may issue multiple requests for the same document, cutting connections early.

Does anyone have a plug-in or other convenient tool to do this? Q: Just why would I want to do such a crazy thing? A: FDA is requesting that OCR, if included in electronically submitted documents, must be verified. Otherwise, don't bother with the OCR. Q: Then why not just process the images, and never capture the text? A: Because the tools we use for bookmarking and hyperlinking are much easier to use if we can select with the Text Selection tool. Q: Well, shouldn't you be verifying that text then? A: Optimally, yes. Practically, and within budget? No. For the PDF-heads out there, I did check the structure of a captured page, and the two samples I looked at had one or more content streams containing references to a image, and one more content stream containing the actual text. A plug-in willing to muck at the COS level should be able to figure out which content streams have no text, and delete the others. It's fraught with peril, if the page wasn't actually Captured.

The blank page isn't really blank. Do a view source, and you will probably see that there is some code there, and it didn't come from your program. We have an ongoing, open call with Microsoft on this. We're hoping for a fix in IE v5.

From this, it appears that it doesn't make any difference whether we use PDF Writer or Distiller _so far as searchability is concerned_ . Given that most of our documents are primarily text with a few BW line art figures, I would think that there are few advantages to using PS>Distiller except to automate Bookmark and Link creation from applications such as FrameMaker or MSWord97/PDFMaker. Am I missing something else? Again, thanks for the explanation.

The new data is pretty much the same as the old data, with some minor updated additions/deletions. I realize that I would have to check the links, etc., but I really would like to know if there is an easy way to "import" bookmarks from one PDF to another PDF so that the bookmarks display when viewed under "bookmarks + page" viewing option.

Would it be part of the READER or the EXCHANGE? Acrobat has always been able to add notes. Acrobat 4 does seem to have some annotation enhancements. No change in the Reader policy is likely - the new annotations would display in Reader, but require Exchange to create or modify them.

Did I misunderstand? Since Adobe doesn't mention PDFMaker on its site at all, I don't understand whether all I'll need is Acrobat 4.0, or whether I'll also need to look for the PDFMaker 1.3 and install that as well. If PDFMaker is no longer separate, will I need to uninstall PDFMaker 1.0 before installing Acrobat 4.0? I just get the impression that although Adobe supplies PDFMaker, they don't like to acknowledge that it plugs an essential hole in Acrobat. It's certainly very hard to find anything about it on the Adobe site. I don't expect to find the answer to these questions on the Adobe site, so if you could clarify your answer, I'd be grateful.

You've gotten your answer from the other posts, I just wanted to add one thing... Many users do not realize that they can create bookmarks that are programmed with "ACTIONS" just like Form Fields. For instance, you can create a bookmark called "PRINT" then go EDIT/PROPERTIES. This brings up an ACTION dialog that allows you to create ACTIONS like "Execute Menu Item", "Open File", etc. What's nice about that is that these bookmarks, when transferred between files retain their programming.

MSIE 4 typically hits the web server 3 times for CGI generated PDF: 00:35:58] 2562.pdf 10240 "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)" 00:35:58] 2562.pdf 200 8192 "contype" 00:36:05] 2562.pdf 200 65436 "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)" What's this "contype"? Why does it have to hit the server 3 times? Aarndi, what do you mean by honouring these requests?

Index paths will always be relative, if they can be i.e. the index is on the same disk as the PDF file. Don't be fooled because you appear to be setting up a full path name (or otherwise) in the index preferences. You must move everything together to the CDROM - not forgetting the dozens of files making up the index, and keeping the same directory structure exactly. What do you mean by "[when I] change to the relative path?" Aandi ________________________________________________________________________ Interactive PDF Polling Place is Open!

Sun has a free package called SUNWdtpcv (search for this string from Sun's home page) which will display Office documents. The version I've got won't print them, though the latest version might. If it does print, then you should be able to distill the resulting postscript with either Ghostscript or Adobe Distiller (which is, er *currently* available as part of Framemaker) I use it in extremis, as I don't think it displays Word documents very well. > On 3/18/1999 Jon August wrote: > > >Is there a Solaris application that will generate a PDF from a >Word > >document?

That's fine for some cases, and I'm glad you found a solution. BUT, BUT, BUT.... It's not a good solution in a case where you are passing about 40 values from the form to the cgi that returns the pdf. It's really ugly. I'm sick and tired of having to work around Microsoft's buggy software. I'm going to keep yelling: - At Microsoft to fix their software - At my own decision makers to just let us go back to Netscape for everybody, not just our SGI unix users. You know - squeaky wheel and all that. Actually, all of our companies could have saved some significant $$ if we weren't all out here spinning our wheels. J.

Adobe Acrobat software is simply the most reliable and effective way to share information. With Acrobat, you can convert documents to accessible Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files and then distribute them electronically across platforms and applications while preserving their original look—complete with fonts, graphics, and layout. An Adobe representative will give you an in-depth look at the following topics: Convert any document to PDF, which faithfully captures and preserves the original document’s fonts, colors, images, and layout. Simply drag and drop a document onto the Acrobat application window to automatically convert it to PDF. Take advantage of the “Create Adobe PDF” File menu and toolbar options that Acrobat automatically installs in Microsoft® Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications. With the Web Capture tool, create PDF “snapshots” of Web pages or sites in one easy step for convenient offline viewing and printing. Acrobat even automatically creates bookmarks from HTML tags. Review documents electronically. Quickly mark up PDF files using the Highlight Text, Underline Text, and Strikethrough Text tools, and more. Add text annotations directly to PDF files or use electronic “sticky notes” with the Notes tool. Make handwritten marks with the mouse-controlled Pencil tool. Summarize annotations in their own PDF file for easy reference or sort annotations by author, type, date, or page number. We'll show you how you can create on-line PDF forms that look exactly like your paper versions, complete with pop-up boxes, buttons, and text fields. With the Paper Capture tool, instantly convert scanned paper documents to PDF. Learn more about 3rd part plug-ins that enhance Acrobat 4.0 even further. As well as product demonstrations, there will a chance to win some great prizes!

The rep enters the customer SSN and pulls up a screen of customer data. At that point I dynamically create a Personal Field Names FDF (custdata.fdf). Later in the phone session the rep goes to the online document library and selects a PDF to print. The PDF opens and the rep imports the custdata.fdf file by clicking on an "Import Data" button. The name of the fdf file to import (custdata.fdf) is hard coded into the Import Form Data field property of the "Import Data" button. Works fine. Now imagine the service center hiring 3 more people to use this system. Every time the phone rings a new custdata.fdf is created, overwriting the old one, often before the PDF forms for the caller on the other line are printed. Has anyone got a solution that would allow more than 1 rep at a time to use this system? I know I could have the reps use Exchange and then give them a "Choose Which Customer Data File To Import" button, but I would rather not make them choose which FDF to import - heck, I'd rather keep them out of Exchange too.

How about setting up an intranet web server? The rep selects the required PDF form, enters the SSN in a form field and submits the form to the web server which runs a CGI (or ASP, etc.) script which returns an FDF that populates the other form fields with data from the database. ________________________________________________________________________ Interactive PDF Polling Place is Open!

Hi, It should be noted that not all versions of Netscape ask these questions. Usually, a properly configured Netscape browser will automatically open a pdf file in the browser window. I often have clients who need to be walked through the pdf set up in Netscape and I wish it would be set up as automatically as IE seems to be. I each of us has to think about how we want our sites to work. Personally, I think having a dialog box come up and ask the user to choose a route for access just slows down the internet experience. (As does a less than smooth set up process as mentioned above!) Many of my files are large 1 to 5 megs so I have set up buttons that can be clicked after the user has been warned. The files are embedded in .zip or .sea files that cannot be opened in a browser but must be downloaded.

Currently our catalog sheets are organized in folders on a CD-ROM. We have simple html pages that act as a table of contents navigation scheme. The program we're looking for can interact with our html, but has to be entirely client side with no connection to a server. Obviously, we may have to write this program. Ultimately, our customers need to take our catalog sheets which are all generated as PDFs and create printing order form. They check which catalog sheets they want, and next to each sheet the indicate the quantity. The program then talks to the printer driver and prints the appropriate sheets as a batch to whatever local printer is attached to that machine.

Loops, transitions and delays are set in the program preferences. Full screen is set in the document preferences. Only full screen will work on different machines that are set up differently. Transitions and delays can be built into the pdf file with pdfmarks. Your Acrobat CD-ROM has transitions that can be used in your authoring program. Just place them as you would any graphic. The following pdfmark will create a delay in full screen mode. [{ThisPage} <> /PUT pdfmark %%EOF Substitute a value for X.X. For example, Dur 5.5 will create a 5.5 second delay; Dur 2 will create a 2 second delay. The pdfmarks will override the settings in your client's system. A simple way to create a loop for a presentation is to duplicate your last page, and give it a page open action that returns to the first page. The user won't see any change between the next-to-the-last page and the last page, and the last page will quickly jump back to the first page. You can also use JavaScript to accomplish most of what you want.

This way to work seems complex and risky : the conversion from DWG to DXF is not perfect, and the second conversion through Illustrator, which is not really marketed as a CAD product, as far as I know, can hardly be harmless. I think the right way consists of printing the Autocad document onto a Postcript file, then distilling it. But you have to use special Autodesk PostScript driver dedicated to large document printers/plotters, not the Windows driver. I have made a few tests last year, with AutoCad R13, but I met some problems, like : - plotter PostScript drivers are obviously designed for physical plotters, not logical PostScript files - therefore you have to set parameters like "pen widths" - you are not allowed to set margins to zero (margins mandatory for paper!) : difficult to implement automated links while distilling - PostScript results can be quite unpredictable if the draughtsman has worked anyhow, even if the paper copy is right I don't know if R14 has improved PostScript printing. I hope so, and am much interested too if anybody has experimented this release.

I don't know much about PostScript, so I never though of using points for specifying /FitR coordinates. The pdfmark manual keeps talking about "default user space", so I thought it natural use dots: when printer resolution didn't work, at some time a tried 96 dpi, then 72 dpi.

One shouldn't be allowed, the Adobe engineers reasoned, to index the encrypted file "nextmonthlayoff.pdf" and search for one's name. For this reason the standard process is to index first, encrypt later. That said, if a security handler was used to encrypt the files then that handler can open them on behalf of the indexing application.

They don't use points (as in points and pica's) , but this is a common term for the *initial* size of a User Space unit. The size of the units in User Space can be changed by scaling the coordinate system. For instance, if I scaled the units along the x axis by 2 then each unit would be equal to 2/72 of an inch. The distinction here is that the units along the x axis are no longer the same size as a point. BTW, for even finer hair splitting a Printer's Point is actually defined as 1/72.27 of an inch.

It shows "Standard". Can I turn this off? You might find that you document has a setting like "Disabled Printing" turned on. If any security setting at all is disabled then the Security handler is set to "Standard" and you cannot perform operations like page extraction - even though it (in the case of printing) seem to have nothing to do with this. Perform a save as, turn on *all* of the security settings and then you should be ok. If this is already the case then I'm stumped, I've just performed this several times and switched the security handler from "none" to "Standard" and back again.

Do you get any messages about it being unable to reencode fonts? If on Mac, that might mean that you've got a TT version of the font installed, where Reader (and possibly Photoshop) are expecting the Type1 version either on your system or privately available. At least with Reader, if the TT's there, it gets precedence and Reader gets annoyed. Steve Rindsberg President, RDP - a slide imaging service bureau http://www.rdpslides.com Developers of ZAP!

You need to delete the one that's causing the problem. Probably the Reader one. The message - although it's easy to read it that way - is NOT complaining about AFORM32.API existing in two locations. It's complaining that two plug-ins, both claiming to be the "forms plug-in" are trying to load - the two plug-ins are AFORM32.API (the old one) and AFILL32.API (the new one). In Windows, the default locations are c:\acrobat3\reader\plug_ins c:\acrobat3\exchange\plug_ins The registry is not involved. Each product just loads every API file found in its own plug_ins folder.

The original Word document is 106 pages long with around 25 eps graphics embedded in it; the file size is 1.79mb. When I print it using the Distiller 3.0 PPD, no matter how many different settings I try, the smallest postscript file I have been able to produce is around 42mb. Although this distills down to a 1.9mb PDF file, something is clearly not right. Earlier today I created a new Word document, pasted 100 pages of plain text and then embedded the same eps graphic files that were in the original document. The resulting file was 1.71mb in size. Although this is only a little smaller than the other Word file, when I printed it using the Distiller PPD, the postscript file was just 5.1mb and the distilled PDF file was just under 1.3mb. I realise that with so many eps files embedded in the original document, I am never going to be able to create a tiny PDF file but I want to keep it as small as I can. Does anyone have any idea why two similar-sized Word documents should produce such differently-sized postscript files when printed through the Distiller PPD? I am using Windows 98 and both documents were created in Word 97. The original document does have a more complex layout than the one I created this morning (it includes columns, headers and footers, text boxes and two different fonts) but these seem to have made little difference to the starting file size. Any advice would be much appreciated. m a r t i n =================================== Martin Pratt Research Officer International Boundaries Research Unit Mountjoy Research Centre, Suite 3P University of Durham Durham DH1 3UR United Kingdom +44 (0)191 374 7704 (direct line) +44 (0)191 374 7702 (fax) m.a.pratt@durham.ac.uk (email) http://www-ibru.dur.ac.uk (World Wide Web) ================================== __________________________________________________________________ * Do your civic duty -- VOTE TODAY at the PDF Polling Place * Question of the Week: (Will You) 'Buy or Upgrade to Acrobat 4.0?'

My instincts say that somehow you have placed the same EPS files again and again in the same file. This is easily done, and hiding a graphic does not remove it. You could try opening the PostScript file and looking for %%Title: ... lines. There is likely to be one per EPS (and one for the file as a whole). Count them... __________________________________________________________________ * Do your civic duty -- VOTE TODAY at the PDF Polling Place * Question of the Week: (Will You) 'Buy or Upgrade to Acrobat 4.0?'

The strangest thing with these PDF files is that they open in Exchange and Reader fine, and they print fine too. I can also create an 8 bit Tiff out of them with a program called Transverter Pro Plus, and the Tiff file opens fine in Photoshop WITH the apostrophes. I am only getting this problem when I open the PDF files directly in Photoshop. I have also noticed other strange things happening to PDF files when opening them in Photoshop. I spoke to a representative from Adobe about some of these problems, and he believes that the problem lies in Quark Xpress, which is where these files were originally built. However, if it was a problem with Quark, why can the PDF go through Transverter Pro and come out fine? I believe that Photoshop has a problem interpreting PDF files that were created from Quark documents.

At one point, I converted some text in a smallish EPS to curves, thinking I'd save PDF size by not having to include the font. Only problem was that this thing was a set of navigation icons that appeared on every page in a long document. The PDF size went from 850k to 1400k as a result of this one change. The overhead of one extra font in the PDF started to look quite attractive after that. Steve Rindsberg President, RDP - a slide imaging service bureau http://www.rdpslides.com Developers of ZAP!

The PDF user can have the driver apply a watermark when printing from any app to these drivers, true. I think Eugene wanted to have this as a function of the PDF itself instead, so that it'd happen for all users, regardless of driver settings. The PDFMark solution suggested earlier might be workable, but only for users who print to PS printers.

Our company has been using PDFs on our intra- and extranet sites for about six months without problems. When the thread about problems loading PDFs in Internet Exploder first showed up in the context of CGI scripts earlier this month, I just ignored it. Then suddenly, about two weeks ago, we also started experiencing problems (though no CGI scripts are involved). The problem files were all created during this past month and are 1-5 MB in size. Files of similar size that were created earlier do not exhibit the problem. The problem files load fine in Navigator. All of the PDFs we use are created using FrameMaker and distilled using Acrobat Distiller on my machine. Coincidentally, at about the time the problem PDFs started appearing, the Acrobat Reader 4.0 beta release was announced. I downloaded the Reader and installed it on my machine (not even considering that it might have some sort of adverse affect on the Distiller). Last Friday, in an attempt to isolate the problem, I uninistalled all of the Acrobat programs, including the beta Reader and the Distiller. I then reinstalled the Distiller and Exchange. The problem is still there... I also reinstalled Reader 3.01 to make sure that the ActiveX control is properly installed. So far, no luck. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. We were in the midst a move to make some of our more technical, less widely used manuals in PDF format only. Needless to say, we can't go forward with this tree- and money-saving effort until we can resolve the blank page problem.

There is an information thread in the Adobe Acrobat question and answer area (Aandi Inston was a great help). The problem, for me, boiled down to two issues: 1) an upload problem involving making sure that the files were moved as binary, raw files (I am a Mac user moving files with Fetch.), and 2) a server-side problem where not all servers are byteserving (either they haven't implemented the software or they have disabled it). The work around for the second issue was to reduce the size of my files trying to keep them to about 100-150k and linking pages using the commands found in Exchange, a lot more work for me but it seems to create a more reliable internet environment. I have another occurance of white screen or even software crashes. I produce large maps in Illustrator if I do not save them correctly to pdf, (properly configure the page setup), the files also fail inside the browser. Hope these comments help.

This was never a problem in the past that I can recall. Of course the sizes of most of my PDF downloads have tended to be relatively small (mostly under 1 MB). But I can not remember ever having a problem until this past week with viewing PDF's of any size online. This thread is unfortunately becoming very "popular." Will we see any positive response to the problem or must we be content to hypothesize that it is a calculated "slap-on-the-wrist" from the W3C in response to PDF's challenge to HTML as an online standard? :) -----Original Message----- From: LynneA@Exabyte.COM To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Date: Friday, March 26, 1999 12:28 PM Subject: RE: [PDF] Posting PDF to the Internet > ><- *NEW* - Get A FREE subscription to Desktop Publishers Journal...-> ><- ...via PDFzone.COM at -> > >Danine, > >This empty browser page problem is really strange.

Even though you would think that Photoshop would rasterize the vector components of PDF files flawlessly, if they don't there is a simple work-around. Just open the successful PDF in Exchange, zoom to the resolution level you want (the higher the zoom %, the more resolution contained in the selection), select all (or marquee a portion) with the TOOLS/SELECT GRAPHICS, copy, and then paste into Photoshop. Granted you cannot take advantage of some of Photoshops Actions by doing so but you are guaranteed to get what you see because it has already been rasterized.

What we want to do is merge a set of PDFs made with PDFWriter, with ver 2.1 compatibility set, into one PDF. On one machine (mine), this works fine. On another machine, it creates a ver 3.0x PDF, which chokes Reader 2.1. We've looked high and low through Exchange, and can't see any way to alter the 'version' setting. Is there a way? If not, why is it preserving the 2.1 compatibility on my machine, and not the other? Is this "settable" on installation? [I have large doubts about that] I've tried rummaging through the list archives but did not find anything relevant. I know I could have Exchange spit out a PS file, and re-fry it through Distiller, but this shouldn't be necessary, I don't think. Since a large portion of our clientele are believed to be still using Reader 2.1, and we glue together a lot of our PDFs, this would be a tedious chore. I'm baffled. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I searched the archive and did not come up with an answer to this particular problem. Please bear with me if it has already been dealt with: Using: Windows NT 4.00.1348 AutoCad R14: PostScript Export Options: Extents, Scale to Print, A Size Acrobat Distiller 3.02 I am trying to distill an EPS file, generated from AutoCad, into a PDF file. Scaling is the issue. If I use the above settings for the EPS file, the image ends up about 1/3 of the final page size in PDF. If I use manual scaling, I can come close to getting the scale correct, but then the image is cut off on the right side by about 1.5 inches. When I say cut off, I mean the image fits on the page, but the right side of the image is not there. The person who did this conversion several months ago says that he just exported into EPS , then distilled to PDF and everything fit perfect. He is right, it does fit perfect, but not for me. He says he did nothing to the settings; just clicked and he went merrily along to PDF-land! Argh! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Exchange will typically preserve the version information from the files opened. I suspect you have "optimize" switched on, on one machine. This will optimize, turn to PDF 1.2, and compress streams in a way incompatible with Acrobat 2.1.

Try selecting all of the original document - EXCEPT - for the final paragraph mark. Paste this selection into a new Word document and save. The new document might then be the size you think it should be! I'm not sure why this helps, but I think it has to do with the number of formatting changes that are saved, revised, saved again.

All but one book produces nice Acrobat PDF files where page on demand works nicely. The one book always produces an Acrobat file the work fine on the hard drive, downloads fine for the first page but going to any other page causes Netscape and Acrobat to hang every time. If you download the Acrobat file, it works fine again on the hard drive. Every ten or so times that I build a PDF file, it works fine on the Internet on my home computer but never works on my laptop at work. I use Netscape V4.08 on my laptop and V4.05 at home. I have now learned that creating any new publication with Ventura Publisher V8 results in the same problem. I have rebuilt the publication several times I am looking for any suggestions of what may cause this problem. I manually compared the postscript output and found the first 30 or 40 pages of prologue information to be the same. The file size for the corupted publication is 1.66 MB, well under the 4.0 MB limit. My default printer is AdobePS4.DRV, ADISTILM.PPD labeled Postscript Printer Driver Version 4.2.4 (171). Both systems run Windows 95 and both are 133 + MHz Pentium systems. This failure is the same as when Netscape crashes before a lerge PDF is entirely downloaded, leaving a partial PDF file in the cache. Subsequent access to file or when you try to download the file, Netscape finds the corrupted cache copy, downloads the first page fine and then hangs on any subsequent page access. Or it copies your cache copy to disk and you have smaller file that has the same problem. It also leaves two corrupted Acrobat files under Windows/Temp directory (always 2.0 MB and 2K files) and the corrupted cache copies need to be removed as well. I have tried twice to enter this issue in the Ventura Publisher forum, but have not received any response (I guess nobody there is trying Acrobat on the web). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Glad to learn about the 4.0 MB limitation which I have not experienced but I have PDF files of 4.12 MB, 3.96 MB, 3.91 MB, 3.88 MB and 3.60 MB, so I guess that I lucky on this point to date. My combined publication is over 30.0 MB, so I guess it will be CD-ROM only for now. __________________________________________________________________ * Do your civic duty -- VOTE TODAY at the PDF Polling Place * Question of the Week: (Will You) 'Buy or Upgrade to Acrobat 4.0?'

I have little to report on this, but can add a little illumination fro the reports I have seen. I have never seen reports referring to this problem in connection with Netscape, only to internet explorer. This implies a connection with the ActiveX control and internet explorer. This has been reported often enough to be pretty definite. I have seen one report of a developer using the ActiveX control who found the same limitation, without IE being involved. That suggests it is not IE, but may be either the ActiveX control, or a limitation of the OLE protocols used. I have seen one report (perhaps here, just now) of IE5 and Reader 4, together, fixing the problem. Take care: if the ActiveX control is not installed or available, it is possible that IE can use the Netscape plug-in INSTEAD. A conclusive test would have to be very sure this was not happening. Outside 32-bit Windows, if IE displays PDF files in its own window at all, it is always by the agent of the Netscape plug-in.

I have observed that Windows PostScript drivers start by redefining the co-ordinate system. They set the co-ordinate system to have an origin at the top left of the imagable area, and 1 unit = 1 pixel in the resolution it believes the device to have. If that's true, you can't reliably depend on the co-ordinate system. But standard PostScript techniques may help.

I have 2 questions relating to viewing PDFs within browers. I'm using Exchange 3.01, IE 4.0 and Reader 3.01 on Win95: (1) Is there any way to have PDFs load within the browser OR within Reader as a helper app? I know you can configure IE either one way or the other. Is there a way to configure IE for both ways? I would like users to have the option of viewing PDFs within the browser window OR within Reader as a helper app... (2) I have multiple PDF documents created from Word, hyperlinked to each other. When viewing them within the browser, I click on a link, and sure enough, the new document loads. However, I find the "Goes to the previous view" button does not work if I want to go back 1 document - it is grayed out. The only way to go back is to press "Back" on the browser. How can I fix this?

My first guess is that you are linking between PDF files with an OPEN FILE link. Don't! This feature kind of works, but was only ever intended to link between non-PDF documents. Use GO TO VIEW links for cross-document links. I've long suspected, but never confirmed, that using OPEN FILE links can also lead to the "too many open files" error.

If so, they will be substituted as they are not imbedded. 3) Exactly what fonts are missing and what is being used in its place? Note: A great diagnostic tool is the Enfocus plug-in CheckUp. Even in demo mode (scans only the 1st page) it can give you some invaluable clues.

"besides setting Distiller to embed all fonts, you will have to set your printer driver to embed the fonts as well. You will find these settings in the "PostScript Job options" I too have problems (on a PC, Win 95) using the text touch-up tool on True Type text in a PDF file created via the distiller. The warning I get is that "a subset of this font is embedded in the document but is not installed on your system. You cannot edit text in this font." Using PFDWriter, I don't have the same problem. On the distiller job options, I have set it to embed all fonts. The subset box is not checked. When I check the properties of the postscript printer I am using, it is set to always use True Type fonts, and the fonts are sent as "outlines." I have two other choices - bitmap and type 42. I don't think I'm any better off with bitmap fonts, am I? How about type 42? Any illumination would be appreciated. I don't use PDFWriter for printing purposes because of letter spacing problems on some printers. It would be nice to make minor corrections on the distilled PDF.

The problem is since Distiller sends the file through PostScript before outputting to PDF, the TrueType fonts are handled by the PS engine and consequently output as subsets. Unfortunately I have not heard of or found any way to overcome this nasty drawback to using Distiller. PDFWriter bypasses the PostScript step and is therefore able to truly embed all fonts, but it is unreliable for anything other than simple Word documents... and even then the printer driver doesn't perform very well in my testing. So far the only way I have found to insure that all the fonts at least appear correctly when using Distiller is to have the printer send all TrueType fonts as Type 42. These are true subsets and are very capable of retaining the font appearance... it is just too bad that late-stage editing to text in these fonts is impossible. Perhaps another list member (maybe even an Adobe rep) can explain to us why a program designed to retain the original appearance of the document regardless of fonts, graphics, etc. is so unpredictable. Perhaps Adobe's marketing reps should quiet their fanfare about this Acrobat and PDF "feature" until they can reasonably produce the desired oucome and tell us all how to accomplish it!

I don't >think I'm any better off with bitmap fonts, am I? How about type 42? Send as Type 42. Type 42 fonts are TrueType fonts in a PostScript format. Distiller can process Type 42 fonts with no problems. One problem you might still encounter though, is that the PostScript driver can also subset the font before Distiller even has a chance to do its subsetting. This would also give you the same error message from the Text Touchup tool. I seem to remember that the Adobe driver does not subset TrueType fonts when creating a PostScript file, so you might want to try that driver instead. Make sure you use the Distiller PPD when creating a printer with the Adobe driver. This will allow the driver to create Type 42 fonts for Distiller. You can download the various Adobe PostScript drivers from Adobe's web page.

In other word, not much of a chance, and no way to do it fully automatic. In any case, you will not get any structure information ... at least with PDF level 1.2 documents. There are some text export utilities, which can produce a plain text file. There is also the possibility to open the PDF document in Illustrator, for example, and to get at text and graphics, but in any case, there will be a lot of manual work. You might have a bit better luck in a few months, when InDesign will be available. From what I have seen at the Seybold presentations, InDesign seems to be able to partly edit PDFs ... and from InDesign, you might find a way to get into Frame. Hope, this can help.

Only if you deactivate this, you will have the full character set embedded. OK, for some very rarely used fonts, you may subset them, in order to keep the file size down. Apparently, your settings are correct in this respect. If you _must_ use TrueType fonts, you will definitely be out of luck with bitmaps. You may be more lucky with the Type 42. However, whenever you can, you will be way better off with PostScript Type 1 fonts. Another thing to consider is to get PitStop by Enfocus. It gives you more possibilities for editing your PDFs, among them the possibility to control the character and the word spacing in your text. Hope, this can help.

Type 42 fonts themselves are not subsets. They are TrueType fonts in a PostScript format. The set of character descriptions contained in a Type 42 font *may* be a subset of the characters contained in the original TrueType font. It is up the PostScript driver creating the Type 42 font as to whether subsetting occurs. > Perhaps another list member (maybe >even an Adobe rep) can explain to us why a program designed to retain the >original appearance of the document regardless of fonts, graphics, etc. is >so unpredictable.

Most of the problems you have been describing are actually related to the print driver, not Acrobat. Unfortunetaly, they manifest themselves as Acrobat problems. If the print driver mangles the font in the PS file, there is nothing Acrobat Distiller can do about it. I would give the Adobe driver a try and make sure you use Type 42 fonts as mentioned above.

I was not making an attempt to be 100% accurate in my descriptions of the Distiller or PostScript processes. However, saying that the PostScript driver problem is not an Acrobat problem I think is unclear. While the printer driver is the cause of the initial font "error," the problem is related to Acrobat in that by using a PS file, it is subject to the inadequacies of the format... including the inability to truly embed TT fonts. This is an Acrobat problem CAUSED by a PostScript problem. And since Adobe is the bearer of both culprits, they are ultimately responsible for the outcome... an Acrobat product that unfortunately does not fully support late-stage editing of PDF documents. Once those TT fonts are sent as type 42, they are in effect subsetted and uneditable in Acrobat. Whatever the process the document went through to get to that end point is virtually inconsequential, unless you can overcome it. I am using the Adobe driver (4.2.4) and all my TT fonts are being sent as type 42... my only regret is that this prevents me from making late-stage edits... and eventually my customers from relying on me to do the same to their PDFs.

I have a postscript file in a java program which I need to convert to pdf. What I'm doing right now is writing it out to the filesystem, starting up distiller and having it convert the file, and then reading in the new PDF. The problem is that I don't really have any way of knowing when the new pdf is done being distilled. What I was hoping was that I could start the distiller process, block until the process exited, and then read in the file. Unfortunately, (as far as I'm aware) once a distiller process is started, it doesn't exit, barring user intervention. Is there some sort of batch mode where distiller can be started up distill what needs to be distilled and exit? Daemon mode isn't an option, since I still won't know when the file is finished being distilled. I could kludge it and just poll the file size until it stops growing, but it's not a very good solution. I would appreciate any advice on this matter. :) Cheers, Alex rigoleur@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The files are printed to PostScript using the Adobe Distiller printer driver, then PDFed using Distiller. The Distiller settings look fine to me, and the same Frame files PDF correctly on my computer. On the other computer, however, many TrueType fonts are created during the process of creating the PDF file. When the fonts are viewed using Enfocus' CheckUp 1.5, there are over a dozen fonts identified like MMMKJL+TT304o00. In the PDF file, the text is broken up, with lots of strange looking characters, dropped characters, and gaps of white space.

The files are printed to PostScript using the Adobe Distiller printer driver, then PDFed using Distiller. The Distiller settings look fine to me, and the same Frame files PDF correctly on my computer. On the other computer, however, many TrueType fonts are created during the process of creating the PDF file. When the fonts are viewed using Enfocus' CheckUp 1.5, there are over a dozen fonts identified like MMMKJL+TT304o00. In the PDF file, the text is broken up, with lots of strange looking characters, dropped characters, and gaps of white space. Anyone have an idea where these fonts are coming from and how to stop them?

I have a postscript file in a java program which I need to convert to pdf. What I'm doing right now is writing it out to the filesystem, starting up distiller and having it convert the file, and then reading in the new PDF. The problem is that I don't really have any way of knowing when the new pdf is done being distilled. What I was hoping was that I could start the distiller process, block until the process exited, and then read in the file. Unfortunately, (as far as I'm aware) once a distiller process is started, it doesn't exit, barring user intervention. Is there some sort of batch mode where distiller can be started up distill what needs to be distilled and exit? Daemon mode isn't an option, since I still won't know when the file is finished being distilled. I could kludge it and just poll the file size until it stops growing, but it's not a very good solution. I would appreciate any advice on this matter. :) Cheers, Alex rigoleur@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Zoom in on the page until the graphic is: 1)as legible as possible and 2)shows the entire area you want to copy. 3. Do a screen capture (Alt-Print Screen in Windows) to the clipboard. 4. Paste the screen capture into something like Paintshop Pro (MS Paint works, but not nearly as well). (Here's a plug for Paintshop Pro from JASC... it's great and doesn't cost an arm and a leg!) 5. Crop the screen capture to show just what you want. 6. Save the screen capture as a bitmap. The result is not as great as it would be if you started with the original art and is not particularly editable. However, it does get the graphic for you. Hope this helps.

In addition, fonts in the NeverEmbed list are not embedded even if EmbedAllFonts is true. ----------------- End excerpt Hope this helps...

Also, Acrobat obeys the protection flags in TrueType and OpenType fonts. Thus, regardless of any settings or font types, if the font has an embedding attribute of "no embedding", Acrobat won't!

Word processors reflow when you change printer; that's what they do. As you may have found, you couldn't even print it with the original layout. This is not a problem so long as users don't use word processors for unsuitable tasks (like page layout) and especially do not use a word processor as if it is a typewriter - common faults include hard returns at the end of lines, returns to force page breaks, manual cross references and tables of contents.

Couple that with read-ahead - Acrobat will quietly carry on fetching the file. This may fill up a disk.

I just posted to Framers regarding use of hypertext markers to jump from callout to text procedure. I left out that of equal concern is this "links" behavior upon distilling. It appears to only produce the effect of making sure the target text is visible in the PDF display area. I'm looking for something more specific, if it's possible, and am willing to RTFM or otherwise do difficult and technical things. >From what I've read on these two lists, I think my issue lies in maybe adding some code to the Distillers prologue files, and/or embedding PDFMARK in FrameMaker post script text boxes that will produce the specific "jump" I'm seeking. To actually have the jump occur in Acrobat, do I need some kind of "invisible" button technology at work? Otherwise, since there really isn't a "cursor" involved in PDF display, I don't know what I can really expect Acrobat to do for me.

Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 1999 3:27 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Hi - I'm cross-posting to PDF and Framers Lists. I just posted to Framers regarding use of hypertext markers to jump from callout to text procedure. I left out that of equal concern is this "links" behavior upon distilling. It appears to only produce the effect of making sure the target text is visible in the PDF display area. I'm looking for something more specific, if it's possible, and am willing to RTFM or otherwise do difficult and technical things. >From what I've read on these two lists, I think my issue lies in maybe adding some code to the Distillers prologue files, and/or embedding PDFMARK in FrameMaker post script text boxes that will produce the specific "jump" I'm seeking. To actually have the jump occur in Acrobat, do I need some kind of "invisible" button technology at work? Otherwise, since there really isn't a "cursor" involved in PDF display, I don't know what I can really expect Acrobat to do for me. I don't want to accomplish the link with color, either. thx - Rebecca _____________________________________________________________ * Adobe Acrobat 4.0 is COMING SOON! * ORDER TODAY * Upgrades ($99) & Full versions ($219) available via PDFzone.COM < http://www.pdfzone.com/products/software/tool_Acrobat.html > 31-Mar-1999 21:01:24-GMT,1790;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id OAA21957 for ; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:01:13 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA16999; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:54:06 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:51:18 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA16699; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:51:17 -0600 Message-Id: <9903319229.AA922913518@smtplink.dis.anl.gov> X-Mailer: ccMail Link to SMTP R6.01.01 Date: Wed, 31 Mar 99 14:48:46 -0600 From: "Pam Richmond" To: Subject: Re:RE: [PDF] Byte-serving large files 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-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- *NEW* - Get A FREE subscription to Desktop Publishers Journal...-> <- ...via PDFzone.COM at -> What do you mean by "The file is also about 50Mb too large to work with IE4 and Acrobat 3".

Let me add my two cents worth to this and invite others to relate their experience with this kind of problem. We have found that by setting our default printer to PDFWriter (Windows95, 98, NT) before opening a Microsoft Word Document that we can prevent reflow. We have been using this strategy for some time with success. As to WordPerfect 8, if the default printer is set to PDFWriter it will still reflow, but the reflow will be less dramatic. With WordPerfect 6.x and 7, there is no successful strategy we have ever found. And WordPerfect 5.x -- forget it. Why is this important? Our customers (lawyers) do use word processors as their pre-press document tool and expect us to reproduce the file like it last rendered on their printer. Of course this is impossible and it makes our life miserable. And they refuse to change or understand. PDFWriter has been the only consistent tool we have found to handle this problem. But if someone out there has a better idea, I will listen. ------------------ David M.

Every time you take that WP file to a different computer configured to a different printer driver your text WILL reflow. There is no stopping this. Depending upon the printer driver, this will determine how much reflow there is. It gets really messy with documents that contain graphics as they may tend to jump around on the page. Solutions: 1. --Content is content, just because it reflows slightly different, has the content changed? Imagine what this WP file would do if you took it to HTML. If your customers are willing to sacrifice "exact" layout, let it reflow. 2. --Page layout can solve all this if your customers are willing to throw WP out the window for Quark. Usually not the option of choice. if those two options do not work... #3. Hire good WP skills and be sure to charge accordingly ($$$) for your efforts to make their WP file match their laser copy on your computer. Proof your content hard for mistakes. Convert to PDF either writer or PS -> Distill. It's not fun, but it is serving their needs. This is pretty general, but from our experience, this is the truth. enjoy- Chris Uschan ------------ Digital Resources Manager - OMNIPRESS phone: 608-246-2600 fax: 608-246-4237 Learn more about us at http://www.omnipress.com _____________________________________________________________ * Adobe Acrobat 4.0 is COMING SOON! * ORDER TODAY * Upgrades ($99) & Full versions ($219) available via PDFzone.COM < http://www.pdfzone.com/products/software/tool_Acrobat.html > 31-Mar-1999 23:50:28-GMT,2496;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id QAA26547 for ; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 16:50:26 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA03563; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:42:32 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:40:35 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA03341; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:40:34 -0600 Message-ID: <3702B045.B0C6F90F@wanadoo.fr> Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 01:31:17 +0200 From: Michel Lausseur X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [fr] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: fr MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] Reformatting in WordPerfect References: <9903319229.AA922908728@smtplink.dis.anl.gov> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com <- *NEW* - Get A FREE subscription to Desktop Publishers Journal...-> <- ...via PDFzone.COM at -> Pam Richmond a écrit : > When we open a file in WordPerfect and print to Distiller or Writer, it > repaginates.

When a paper copy has to be issued parallel to the PDF format, print the PDF file instead of word processor file. However, something's bothering with a test I have just made : the layout of a document printed by PDFWriter can be different with Acrobat V3 and Acrobat V4 (last Beta 4).

Has anyone used WordPerfect to create PDFs without repagination or > > reformatting? Pam I use WP8 and had problems and switched to Distiller postscript printer. I had to download the printer drivers and as I do not have that printer. I print to a file using the "ps" extension. Then I use distiller to create the PDF file. Have not had any further problems with repaginating.
