I'm going to try and explain this the way I interpret and understand it...if anyone disagrees or has additional clarification, feel free to chip in. PDFs are not like Photoshop files, in which you calculate the file size based on size of the page/image x pixels per inch, etc., or calculate the resolution working from the reverse formula. A PDF file's size is mostly dependent upon the amount of data contained in its objects, and to a lesser extent font embedding/subsetting, etc. It's easy to figure out whether the objects have enough resolution for your needs by examining the resolution of each object. If you open a PDF file you have at least three tools for determining resolution of objects: Quite a Box of Tricks (http://www.quite.com), PitStop (http://www.enfocus.com) and Adobe Illustrator (http://www.adobe.com). The confusion about resolution stems partially from our experience with bitmap files, and the resolution choice in Distiller. My perception would be that 2400 dpi prepares the entire PDF for Press. This is not true. In Job Options, when you choose your settings and in Press Optimization your resolution is 2400, what this means is that any vector images and type contained in EPS files will be saved in your PDF file at that resolution. This would be particularly important for any gradients wherein banding might be of concern. Let's say you created your original doc in Quark. The resolution setting *does not* affect any of the text set in Quark, or tiff files, whether 1-bit or more. The text is output at the resolution of the device you are printing to and the instructions come from the font information contained in the PDF or residing on your system. The quality of the *other* graphics is totally dependent upon your compression settings for each graphic. While it would be nice if one could open a PDF and easily say, "oh, this is for Screen or Press", considering the options we have when we distill the file, this just isn't possible. It takes a little more snooping and, if one has many objects in a file, the pre-flight report in PitStop is a huge benefit. So you find an object in your PDF that is 300 dpi when you only need 72. You don't want to start over with new PS, etc. Quite a Box of Tricks has a trick that allows you to change the resolution of an individual object and resave the PDF. I would encourage PDFers to consider both PitStop and Quite a Box of Tricks as essential utilities to use in the preparation of their docs. Now, does this make it easier to understand PDF resolution, or have I just muddied things up even more?

Al, I'm presuming your using Acrobat 4, since the "Create Thumbnails" command was moved from it's previous location in Acrobat 3. To create thumbnails in Acrobat 4 on either a Wintel PC or Mac platform follow these four steps: 1.) Open document 2.) Select Menu Window, Show Thumbnails" or use the F5 keyboard shortcut. Note: The Navigation Pane will open to the left of the document. If the Pane area is too small/large click and drag the bar which separates the View and Navigation Panes to resize the Navigation Pane. 3.) With the Thumbnails tab visible within the Navigation Pane select the arrow located at the top right corner of the Navigation Pane to display the Thumbnails pop-out menu. 4.) Select "Create All Thumbnails" from the Thumbnail Menu. (Notes: The Thumbnails Tab can be converted to a tear-off palette by simply dragging the tab away from the Navigation Pane. Also, Acrobat 4 provides two sizes of thumbnails Large (the original size) and Small. To help other users of the document view thumbnails within the document set the Open view settings through the File; Document Info; Open Command. Select the Initial View "Thumbnails and Page" option. I would highly recommend also setting the Magnification to a specific view/zoom setting.) Hope this helps. Happy PDF's to you!

Since the customer can choose to have PDFs and index copied from the CD-ROM to a local drive, I attached the Index.pdx file to the Start.pdf to make sure that the index would be available no matter which drive the documents directory was copied to. When I copied the entire directory to another drive, opened Start.pdf and went to Tools | Search | Indexes. I found not the one index I expected, but two identical ones. Where did the extra one come from and, more important, how can I prevent this from happening to our customers? Having two identical indexes means that any search will come up with two identical hits (this isn't a guess; I've verified that it happens).

For those that don't know me from the Frame and Techwr lists, I'm a contractor using Frame to create a large document set for an V1.0 application. I've also done programer documentation, marcom, intranets, and Internet sites. OK, the reason for the post. I've created a monster here. When I came to this contract last Feb, they were4 using Word to create software documentation. I introduced Frame since the document I was contracted to produce is well over 500 pages, with several hundred screen captures. Since the document is reviewed by three different groups in three different parts of the world, I started distributing the drafts in PDF. This worked out fine and most of them were familiar with PDFs and had created some in the past. Which brings me to the problem. One of the PDFs was created from a Word file that no longer exists. During the examination of one of my PDFs, they noticed that I had incorporated bookmarks and they liked them. Unfortunately, their PDFs weren't created with bookmarks. So, my boss asked me if I could create bookmarks for one or two of their existing PDFs and for the life of me, I cannot find the capability within Exchange to mark text for bookmarks. Am I missing something? Thanks === John Posada Western Union International (w) jposada@westernunion.com (p) john@tdandw.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The default for bInsert is true, and I'll enter a bug to have the documentation fixed. If you pass true for bInsert (or don't pass this optional parameter at all), then the template is overlaid on top of the existing contents of the page given by parameter # 2 ("nPage"). If bInsert is false, then the template is spawned (once, not multiple times as suggested by Phil) as a brand new page before the page specified by "nPage". I just tried both cases, and it works.

If there are 2 indexes in the list that have the same name (description), their PATH info must be different; Acrobat will automatically remove any *exact* duplicate entries, to avoid the problem of "duplicate" hits that you mentioned.

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 _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 2-Jul-1999 13:28:26-GMT,4946;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA11092 for ; Fri, 2 Jul 1999 07:28:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA32603; Fri, 2 Jul 1999 08:21:26 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 2 Jul 1999 08:16:39 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA32186; Fri, 2 Jul 1999 08:16:37 -0500 Message-Id: <199907021316.GAA47923@mail.inficad.com> X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express Macintosh Edition - 4.5 (0410) Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 06:16:35 -0700 Subject: Re: [PDF] Cs8?

I thoroughly tested his file. It was a 300 dpi, grayscale, 1-bit image. I couldn't get it to capture, either. More importantly, it exhibited some strange behavior that I saw in Robert MacNevin's (from Vancouver, BC) troublesome file. In Robert's case his file had a 1-bit image with CCITT Group 4 compression. It wouldn't print to certain printers, especially on Macs, and particularly non-Adobe PS printers (mine without the latest ROM upgrade). If the compression was changed to ZIP, it solved *my* printing problem. Note: the file would print with the Print as Image selection; just not in PostScript. ***Robert has just reported to me that the number of cases of people not being able to print his file is down to 2 -- which is a vast improvement over reports a few days ago. He is now using ZIP compression for the monochrome image. Charles' pdf was CCITT Group 4 compressed. I checked one of my own *captures* done on my Mac. Lo and behold, the compression was *ZIP*. My next question is, why is his file (which won't work) and mine (which does work), saved in two different compression modes? Capture -- on Windoze -- does not use Distiller's compression settings. Do we all know this? It uses the compression settings in our buddy, the PDF Writer, in which monochrome images are set by default to CCITT Group 4. ***Charles, just for kicks you should go into the PDF Writer settings and change the monochrome compression to ZIP, and try scanning and capturing again. Please send me a copy of the PDF before you capture it, and hopefully provide us with a positive report. Of course, there could be many other issues, but capturing a page out of a text book with a scanner ought to be relatively simple. Does anyone have any other experience, or ideas, regarding this issue? P.S. Aandi Inston's Quite a Box of Tricks plug-in was *Quite* helpful in examining Charles's image. I was able to click on the image and tell the type of compression used, right off the bat. Happy 4th everyone.

Actually, again, the compression scheme for *captures* seems to be controlled in the PDF Writer. The *default* for both the Mac and the PC is CCITT Group 4. I'm assuming that once the scanner has scanned the image, the data is somehow *transferred* to the PDF Writer for creating the PDF. Although knowing this little piece of trivia opens up another can of worms. I checked the compression settings in my PDF Writer (Mac) and it is set to CCITT Group 4. After scanning a document for capture, and saving to PDF, Quite a Box of Tricks tells me the image is *ZIP* compressed. Does this matter to me? Not if I don't have any problems scanning and capturing pages. But this does leave me very bewildered as to how the process works...on either platform. And if, in fact, my scans are zip compressed does this mean that I have to make more fixes in the capture doc because I had the wrong compression settings? > A picture is forming! Let me see that file.... I don't have the file. I looked at it, wrote my reply, and tossed it. You can probably have Charles e-mail it to you: chas@byu.edu > Duff Johnson > President, Document Solutions, Inc. What Charles doesn't tell us is how many pages he was trying to capture, or how many pages he had a problem with. But, based on the behavior of his PDF file during my testing process, I believe his image is probably corrupt. This would also lead me to believe he has a problem with one of several things: his scanner, his scanner driver or OCR software, or he just had a random burp. (I couldn't open his doc in either Illustrator or Photoshop, which normally isn't the case with 3x compatible docs). **One more hypothesis. He was scanning a book, 2 pages at a time, and a fairly visible shadow was apparent down the spine of the book. I was able to *duplicate* the error message he received by taking a book and scanning it in such a manner as I forced a shadow, although a lot more prevalent, to rear it's ugly head. Could scanning a book two pages at a time have anything to do with this? Summary: For Charles, what should be his steps to troubleshoot his problem based on what you (and I) know? For Rich, why would the compression settings for the PDF Writer on my Mac say CCITT Group 4, and then my scanned PDF show ZIP compression? Thanks for taking the time to look into this, Duff.

You are correct regarding PDFWriter, image encoding is handled on output, and may be configured for CCITTG4 or Zip. However, the Capture engine is concerned with the nature of the file PRIOR to PDFWriter, ie, the source TIFF file itself. This file may be CCITTG4 or Zip encoded. The particular encoding might (although it shouldn't) affect the engine to the point where it barfs on the image. Seems doubtful, though. > Although knowing this little piece of trivia opens up another > can of worms. > I checked the compression settings in my PDF Writer (Mac) and > it is set to > CCITT Group 4. After scanning a document for capture, and > saving to PDF, > Quite a Box of Tricks tells me the image is *ZIP* compressed. Odd. How was the source file encoded? I would guess via Zip. It may be that PDFWriter, when encountering a Zip-encoded image file for output to PDF, ignores the output-encoding setting. Or... maybe it does this only on the Mac. > Does this matter to me?

Well, we always use CCITTG4 for bi-tonal images -- and we never have this problem, and lots of our clients have Macs.

Yes it could. Capture has an occasional tendency to throw a rod when it encounters clumps of pixels (like a spine-shadow) that confuse it. page-length heavy objects (such as a spine-shadow) with fuzzy edges are one such "type" of pixel-clump. > Summary: > > For Charles, what should be his steps to troubleshoot his > problem based on > what you (and I) know? Well - there's troubleshooting, and there's fixing. If the problem was a file corruption -- let's repeat it before attempted to debug the workflow. In general terms, I would say, scan and Capture books with one-page per image, you'll thank yourself later in many ways. > For Rich, why would the compression settings for the PDF > Writer on my Mac > say CCITT Group 4, and then my scanned PDF show ZIP compression? That does sound buggy to me. I'm guessing that PDFWriter for the Mac cannot write out CCITTG4-encoded data, but I'm gonna check this weekend!

Yes... well, somewhere in the scanner control software OR the driver. There should be a setting somewhere. Macs are good at hiding little details like compression encoding. There's something funny about CCITTG4 and Macs, though. I just can't remember ever seeing a Mac app that works with this encoding. As I recall, the Finder can't "sniff" a CCITTG4 TIFF and show you a thumbnail, as it does with many other raster formats. As for multipage TIFFs...

For the past 2 years I have made a cd-rom with about 1000 documents. They are all combined through an Index file with links to all the different files (the index file is in Framemaker, so all links are created automatically). These files were also served over the internet with exactly the same Index file.No duplication of work. After Internet Explorer 4.0 this has become a problem. IE 4 on Windows gives you a broken link error if you press a link from a pdf to another if you do not happen to have Reader 4.0 (or maybe a late 3.1 version of Reader, I don't know, I haven't tested it). I've tested this one two different web platforms (linux and mac) with the same result. Adobe has documented this error in Document number 322203 (http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/16a2a.htm). Reading through this document it seems like this is basically a problem for network servers: *Snippet* "...Additionally, this Acrobat Control (my comment: ActiveX control) cannot recognize links from one PDF file to another on a network server; it can recognize PDF links only to PDF files on Web servers that use HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol)...." *End Snippet* But as I have found out, this happen on web servers too, at least the ones I have tested them on. After I upgraded to Reader 4.0 the links worked flawlessly on the mac server, I have not tested it on the Linux server yet, but expect the same thing to happen there. As you know, there are plenty of Reader 3.X out there, so I think you should be cautious if you are linking between pdf documents (know your readers!). As I also can convert my Index document to HTML from my Framemaker document, and preserve my links this way (after a couple of BBedit stunts), this is not a huge problem for me. But what with people with hundreds of pdf files with interrelated links . . . : ( Just wanted to share my experience with the forum, I haven't seen too many posts talking about this. But I guess this has to be a big problem for quite a lot of people. Maybe they just don't know it yet?!?

You can also extract the file name from the path string: var f = this.getField(filename_text_field"); var p = this.path; f.value = p.substring(p.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, p.length); With Acrobat 4, you can set the field to print only, and not display when being viewed in Acrobat. _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 5-Jul-1999 16:06:47-GMT,2541;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA24359 for ; Mon, 5 Jul 1999 10:06:46 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA02670; Mon, 5 Jul 1999 11:03:02 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 5 Jul 1999 10:58:24 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA02412; Mon, 5 Jul 1999 10:58:22 -0500 Message-Id: <4.1.19990705112326.00b8d100@dionis.com> X-Sender: m2456601@mail.9netave.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Mon, 05 Jul 1999 11:34:45 -0400 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Daniel-Ari Feinberg Subject: [PDF] Re: Create bookmarks in existing PDF In-Reply-To: <199907050741.CAA10596@everglades.binc.net> 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/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is sponsored by PDFzone.COM | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ When you create a new bookmark using Document>New Bookmark (Acro 3) or by clicking the "Create new bookmark" button at the lower right corner of the bookmark panel (Acro 4), the bookmark points to the page and view that you are currently viewing. The text that you may or may not have selected is irrelevant. The view is a combination of the current magnification type and scroll position. If you are viewing a page at "Fit Page", no further scroll information is needed, nor is it stored in the bookmark. If you are viewing a page at "Fit Width", that zoom and the vertical scroll position is stored in the bookmark. Selecting text to make a bookmark will not hurt.

Of the two, the digest is larger by more than 400 (although some people are subscribed to both). Unfortunately, those subscribed to the digest version of this list don't have as easy a time following many of the informative discussion threads. There's far too much *waste* -- full text of previous messages -- being sent back to the list, and they grow which each successive reply that fails to EDIT the previous replies. PLEASE EDIT MOST of the previous message before you reply -- keep only a brief, relevant portion that offers some context for what you have to say. An example -- the most recent digest of the PDF list is 48 kb -- for only 18 messages. That's simply not appropriate, especially for a discussion list with many Net/tech-savvy people. Show your colleagues the respect they deserve by doing your part to reduce clutter -- everyone will benefit. As is true on any list, helpful participants (reading the digest version) may unsubscribe if the noise level gets too high, which in turn lowers the list's value to ALL subscribers. Another cause of clutter is people who post from Web browsers and who have not disabled the "send HTML email" function. Please be sure to do this if you're posting to the list from a browser or other email application that has this feature "ON" by default. Also, please keep your "signature data" to NO MORE than 4-5 lines, and if you post frequently, consider not adding it to every message. People will figure out how to find you -- in the list archives, if no other way. To keep this discussion list viable, we ask that everyone pitch in. There's no need to assign blame -- there are numerous causes of list "bloat." If everyone can be a tad more conscious of how such things negatively impact the usefulness of the list to the majority of subscribers, we can clean this up in short order. One last thing -- PDF is something of a catch-all list for Acrobat-related questions, but for those who may not be aware, we provide three other more targeted list -- PDF-Basics, Capture and PDFdev -- that are better for certain topic-specific themes. Each of those also has a digest version, and a serachable archive. More info at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

However, after downloading and skimming through 100 pages of information on printing -- a field I have been in for 40 years, I am wondering why I did that. Perhaps it would have been better to provide a *brief* capsulization of each of the three books and then those of us who needed such information could have accessed the resources if, and when, we desired. I thought I was going to learn some revolutionary new information about PDF. Even if it was there, I had to look through 100 pages seeking the proverbial needle in the haystack. I have responded to many of your posts, both publicly and privately, and know that your intentions are good. But please realize that all of us are busy and that everyone on this list has difference levels of experience and may or may not not be involved in PDF for Press. > Rich Sprague and PDFZone, > > Here are 2 references to books on "Prepress, printing and publishing" > and a 3rd for "PDF and Printing/Workflow".

Fonts were embedded and subsetted. I have the printer driver set to download TrueType fonts as softfonts, and under PostScript options, I have it set to optimize for portability, and TrueType Download Option as Outline. Now, we're finding that some, not all, of the users have text disappear when they view the documents. However, if they use the text selection tool, they are still able to select the text, and it does paste to the clipboard. The missing text turns up in Search. Sometimes, if they zoom in to a very high magnification, the text will appear (and disappear when withdrawing). The users claim that this happens in other Acrobat documents as well. However, using the exact same setup in our office, the document opens perfectly. Has anyone else encountered this phenomenon, and would downloading Reader 4.0 make it go away? Gary E.

However, this time I need to allow the users to search *both* the HTML and the PDF content. Cross-platform capability is not a priority; i.e., a Windows-only (95/98/NT) solution is perfectly acceptable. Search features should be roughly equivalent to those available w/ Acrobat Search by itself.

We are using a PDF workflow that includes a base set of 4/C and alternate 5th black plates. These price plates are created from the base 4/C (by the client) and there are several extra items that are left on the files as the pricing is flowed to the file. We create a PDF of the base 4/C. All is well. The price files come in from the client and in the traditional film workflow, a Pantone (pricing color) was ripped as a spot color to the imagesetter. All that appears on that piece of film is the spot color representing the pricing plate. Using a PDF workflow, the pricing plate is ripped to the PDF spooler. The price plate looks good in acrobat, but when the 5th file is composited to the 4/C, wherever there were extra boxes, etc. on the pricing file, it is knocking out the 4/C. Is there a way to recombine those files without the background item(s) knocking out the 4/C? We have gone so far as to take the postscript file to a high end system, making the background transparent, then distilling the file. It still is not retaining the transparency once the postscript has been distilled. Any suggestions?????

In the PDF Writer Property settings it would appear that you could set it to either Acrobat 3.0 or 4.0 compatibility, however on my install this cannot be changed, that option is grayed out. Currently it does say Acrobat 3.0 compatible. However when you generate a PDF then look at the the document info it says PDF version 1.3 not PDF version 1.2. Why doesn't it generate the file to PDF version 1.2? (When you go through the distiller process and select Acrobat 3.0 compatibility you get a 1.2 file) Why can't you change compatibility for the PDF Writer? Have I done something wrong, or am I misunderstanding something. This is puzzling to me, I have scanned through the documentation and cannot seem to find anything. Working in a WIN 95 environment.

PDF Writer, ver 4, windoze...compatibility 3 is selected and grayed out. I would take that to mean that the file would be written in 3x (1.2) compatibility. I believe Adobe has done this on purpose, to make the default setting for better compatibility with version 3x users. I created a doc from Word with the PDF Writer, and opened it.

It is command line driven and the list price for the PS version which is needed to write PS and PDF files retails for $400 for PC, MAC and UNIX platforms. It is available from handmade Software www.handmadesw.com It will convert to and from over 90 formats and to and from multipage and single page format. The PS version will maintain the PS and PDF content instead of converting it to graphics. There are probably several other programs that do similar things but I find the command line nature lets me run batch programs to process multiple files unattended without the overhead of drawing the gaphics and user interface on the screen each frame.

I'm having problem printing "merged" PDF documents, files to which I've added other PDF files with the Document > Insert Pages command. This is something I never remember encountering with Acro 3. Our manuals and their covers often exist as separate Word files. I distill the Word manual into a PDF file (call it Manual.pdf). Then, I distill the cover (call the result Cover.pdf). Then, open Manual.pdf in Acrobat 4. I go to Document > Insert Pages, select Cover.pdf. On screen it merges into single seamless PDF. BUT...when I print the now-merged Manual.PDF to an HP8100PS, only one page - the former Cover.pdf - comes out! I've checked Windows Printer dialog to make sure the Print All Pages radio button is ON. I have no special Page Numbering attributes (Document > Number Pages...) set. Actually the settings in the Page Numbering dialog are confusing, maybe they affect printing somehow? As far as Acrobat's page numbering is concerned (in the little window at bottom of viewer) Manual.doc is 1-n, with "1" being the now-inserted Cover.pdf. This has happened in several manuals; if the manual in its Word form already contains the cover, this doesn't happen. It appears the result of the Insert Page action. Ideas, anyone?

I have explored this problem quite extensively. I deliver hundreds of PDFs to teachers and students (100-page syllabus documents, etc) via a State Government website. They want many of them in Microsoft Word as well. The PDF is great for version control and printing, but MS Word is needed for cutting and pasting into teaching programmes. As the documents have been through a long process of editing (original Word doc, then laidout in Quark Xp, then PDF-ed), the only sensible way to get an accurate version of the full final document is to export from the final PDF. Gemini is really good for this. Problem is - Gemini does as bad a job as anything else at retaining (recreating) table format in its RTF export. I also tried exporting to HTML and then opening and saving as RTF in Word. Still no luck for tables. But great on everything else, as before. So if you don't have a lot of tables - it's my recommendation as the best of a uniformly inadequate set of tools.

You have to select page/document contents as "text" or "tables" which may be more work than you want to do, but it does a pretty good job of getting tables into an Excel or Word doc with formatting intact. Use to sell for about $795 (single user). I'm no longer employed by the company that purchased this software and I can't remember who makes/distributes it, but a search of PDFZone will probably turn up this info.

Compare the product data sheets at HP's website, and you'll see that a now-obsolete product such as the HP 4MV says "The HP LaserJet 4MV is network-ready, with built-in support for 12 network operating systems. Comes with genuine Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM) Level 2". The HP8000 (and HP5000, and other) data sheets say "PostScript Level 2 Emulation". I believe the reason is that HP has announced their intent to use only their own PS emulation for all new products -- and I predict that this will turn out to be a very bad decision by HP because of the number of these time-wasting problems that will pop up. You might be able to force the document to print in PCL mode, but that is likely to somewhat reduce the quality of the printout, particularly for any vector graphics (which is why you wanted PS in the first place, right?)

You might also consider getting Ghostscript from the URL below, which will convert PS to PCL with excellent Adobe PostScript compatibility (better than the non-Adobe PostScript language RIPs in many printers). Ghostscript is a desktop application that runs on all platforms of interest and is free. Ghostscript also does a fine job of converting PDF to PCL directly -- in my experience, it does so more reliably than Acrobat Reader 3's Print function. >I'm having problem printing "merged" PDF documents, files to which I've >added other PDF files with the Document > Insert Pages command.

So I'm trying the regular PDF list, even though the experts may regard it a basic. =========================================================================== I'm at my wits end, and I'm not going to bother Rich Sprague (who has helped me so much already) directly with this one. I'm using windows 95 with PageMaker and Acrobat. All truetype fonts, no ATM installed. Here's the problem: I went out and got, and then installed Acrobat ver4. I admit I did not uninstall ver3. Adobe encourages uninstalling ver3 before installing ver4, but says you will only have problems if you subsequently uninstall ver3 after ver4 has been added, which I hadn't at that point. I found that ver4 Distiller failed on every attempt to distill any .ps file. (I tried all kinds of drivers, etc.) I finally noticed a little error log file for each of the failed attempts. They all say the following: ================================================ %%[ Error: Helvetica not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%% %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%% Stack: /Font /Helvetica 0 1 /_BFontUOThick false %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% ================================================= Based on this clue, I did discover a workaround of sorts. I found that, if I added the location of the ver3 fonts folder to the "Font Locations" box in ver4, then ver4 would successfully distill .ps files. But, of course, I shouldn't have to do that. So tonight, I uninstalled both ver3 and ver4 and attempted to get every vestige of these applications off my system. Don't see anything significant left in the registry, got rid of the program directories (folders) , remed out the ps font substitutions in win.ini, and reinstalled ver4. (BTW, it replaced the remed out ps font substitutions in win.ini.) After all that, I still have exactly the same problem with exactly the same error log reports and, again, by putting the font folder from ver3 back on the computer (which I had saved to a disk), and pointing to it under Font Locations, the same workaround makes it distill ok. What is wrong with my setup? I did see an Adobe support article that mentions that a difference between ver3 and ver4 is that ver4 "uses MT Arial and MT Times New Roman instead of Helvetica and Times." Is this a clue? Am I supposed to have these "MT" fonts on my computer somewhere, because, as near as I can see, I don't. While, I am able to distill using ver4 with the pointer to the old ver3 fonts, I don't like using this cobbled up way of working. Does anyone have any idea of what my problem is? Thanx in advance.

It seems that the Mac is a little more user friendly in this regard. While it's not quite as automated to make a PDF (we don't have a PDF Maker), with ATM and at the time when I print a PS file, all fonts are included. Then Distilling a PDF is a piece of cake. Windoze needs a little more help at searching out font locations. Also, if you fiddled with the win.ini file, you may have deleted some of the font substitution information that tells the system Arial = Helvetica and so on. I know just enough about this to be dangerous...I could open my win.ini file and see what was there, but I really don't know how or if one is supposed to edit this file. If you need it, however, I can send you a pdf of the contents of my file so you can see what you should have in it regarding fonts. Perhaps someone else who is as fanatical and knowledgeable about the PC, as I am about my Mac, can guide you easier. I am, however, learning on the *other* platform by helping people like yourself. This chap deserves help, folks. He has produced a very nice calendar for his school district, which includes techniques that go far beyond the basics and what one might expect to see from a *volunteer*.

The PDF specification, which is intended to be vendor- and application-independent and backward-compatible from version to version, specifically says that the Helvetica and Times fonts have a special status as being among the 14 base fonts. "These fonts ... are guaranteed to be available to the Acrobat program." (PDF 1.3 specification, section 7.7.2). This appears to be at odds with: "Adobe Acrobat 4.0 does not include the Type 1 fonts Helvetica and Times, unlike previous versions of Acrobat.

Some are in simple PDF, others are indexed, using Catalog, and then PDF and index are zipped, so that the reader only has to download a single file. Occasionally when users download a PDF they get a message saying that the file needs a password to open it -- it doesn't-- or is damaged. Usually, when I try to duplicate the error, the file downloads perfectly. Occasionally I do manage to get the same error, which may (or may not) persist if I try to download the file again. Then, just as mysteriously, it clears up. As far as I'm aware, there has never been any problem with downloading the zipped files. I assume the problem is either with the server -- but if so why does it come and go and why only PDFs?-- or that PDFs are more easily damaged in transmission than we are led to believe. Does anyone have any ideas of what it is -- and what can be done about it?

And yes, this problem has cropped up frequently in recent months. Now I'm just resigned to getting emails and phone inquiries from users about the failed downloads (or the blank (white screen of death?) page in the browser where the PDf failed to load and display properly) for which there seems no solution. This by the way, is only a recent phenomena - I've been serving PDFs to our web-users since 1995. This problem has only begun to become common since the advent of the version 4s and 5s of MSIE and NetScape Nav/Comm. That isn't to say that's where the cause of the problem lies though. LOTs of relevant things have changed recently. My only solution after the problem has occurred is to tell users - First and most important, clear your browser cache. Second, use the right-click on the link, Save as.. method of downloading the annoying problem PDF file - then open it in Acrobat, rather than viewing it online. In almost every case, the problem is rectified after one or two tries. The worst case is where your network proxy cache holds the faulty, partially-downloaded copy and from then on it seems very hard to get a decent download of it until THAT cache has been cleared as well.

I've seen many people (including Aandi, if I remember correctly) saying that the 'ascii' option for PDf files is a historical hangover, and that it's dangerous and should not be used. Theory and my personal experience both show that using that option makes web transfer of files safer. Sure, the files get bigger, and yes, they can still be damaged by downloading as ASCII. On the other hand you can *guarantee* that the repair functions in Acrobat Reader and Exchange (and in other PDF products like the Harlequin RIP) will succeed on them. Repairs to binary encoded files are somewhat more hit and miss.

Peter Deutsch" writes > I think this is Adobe's problem, not yours. Quite agree. We already have problems with documents created with non-PostScript fonts using another Adobe product, since the authors do not understand what is going on. Now it looks as if the problem is going to come back with a vengeance when we create documents on UNIX using FrameMaker and then try to distill on PC, for example. And what is Adobe's position with respect to UNIX? We use Acrobat precisely because it is multi-platform, having many users of different UNIX flavours out there as well as of PCs, and most UNIX have Courier, Helvetica, Palatino, Times, Symbol and Zapf Dingbats installed, not variations of these from non-Adobe sources. Adobe document 322792 does not mention UNIX, any more than does 322902 (referenced in 322792) which covers more of this tricky area. Until Adobe clears up this very important point we shall have to recommend that Acrobat 3.0X continue to be used within our company. --- Charles Hawtrey tel.: 44(0)1235 54 34 40 Schlumberger Geoquest, Abingdon, UK mailto:chawtrey@abingdon.geoquest.slb.com _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 12-Jul-1999 12:09:30-GMT,2156;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA20794 for ; Mon, 12 Jul 1999 06:09:29 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA23196; Mon, 12 Jul 1999 07:07:14 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 12 Jul 1999 07:04:37 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA22982; Mon, 12 Jul 1999 07:04:36 -0500 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Version4/Distiller/Font Problem Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 13:04:33 +0100 Message-ID: <000a01becc5e$b3f62e00$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 In-Reply-To: <4.1.19990710004103.00926640@pop3.frontiernet.net> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Importance: Normal 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:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is sponsored by PDFzone.COM | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ > Distiller still fails with an error message "...Error: > Helvetica not found.

Our ISIToolbox plug in has an import feature which would allow this. You could create the template in Excel, or other Comma Separated Value format, with the bookmark name and target page number as fields, and then import this template into each file. Right now it would have to be done file by file, but if there's enough interest we could probably develop a batch mode version. This works especially well for PDFText files. Toolbox also has a bookmark export feature, that enables the bookmarks created in any PDF can be exported into a CSV file. There's a 15 day demo of Toolbox on our website- www.imagesolutions.com We have another tool that can do the same for PDFImage files, only it's much more complex and powerful and can be run in batch mode. Both tools are built on the condition that all the target PDFs follow the same document logic with respect to bookmark titles and page numbers.

I use Adobe PS 4.3 (aps4eng.exe) with the Adistill.ppd. No TT fonts; only Adobe PS. This setup has always worked very well for creating PDFs. I have a large FrameMaker file (528 pages). I "Print Only To File" to create a PS which I then Distilled into a PDF for use by the shop that prints and packages our manuals. (Final PDF size is 30,801KB). This works well, and the printer has no complaints about this PDF. However, when I try to "Print Only To File" with "Generate Acrobat Data", I get about 85% through the printing process and then FrameMaker stops and disappears. Windows is locked up, and I must turn my computer off and then back on, then [automatically] do ScanDisk before I get my computer back again. There are many cross-references and a large index in this 24 file FM book. There are also many photographs and other types of illustrations (BMPs, JPGs, TIFF). To me, it looks like I am running out of memory when "Generate Acrobat Data" is selected. I've turned off all other processes with no improvement. I specified my own Virtual Memory settings to Minimum 256, Maximum 512. No help. I've even tried running my computer in Network Server mode to see if this would work, and it did not. Of course I did a ScanDisk and Defrag. Is there something that I am missing which stops FrameMaker from creating the PS file when "Generate Acrobat Data" is selected?

Besides, why does it only seem to happen with bare PDFs, not when the same file is zipped? Lyndon Sharp's observations that the problem seems to have got worse with IE4/5 and NetScape Nav/Comm is interesting. Does anyone from Adobe have any comments?

I would say "the cross we all have to bear". A certain number of downloads always fail, and there is very little that can be done about this. A certain percentage of people are unlucky, or have flaky software or unreliable ISPs. > Adobe are > making a lot out Acrobat's suitability for the Web and I > would have thought > that a prerequisite for any file system which is going to be > used on the Web > is a certain degree of fault tolerance.

But that's only true of HTML (it's successor, XML, is likely to give just an error message, for instance). JPEG and GIF are just broken. The internet is built on TCP/IP, and that in turn is designed to give guaranteed accuracy or no file at all. This is a basic fact that is used to design almost all network software. Yet, somehow, some PCs/ISPs/browsers/whatever manage to mess up. I don't think anyone really knows why. Nobody seems to be designing software or file formats to accomodate these rogue processes though. > An apparently > successful download of a PDF followed by a statement that the file is > "password protected" is likely to puzzle reader and provider alike. This is a very bad symptom, but unfortunately may be unavoidable. So far as I can work out, if the file isn't readily understood by Acrobat it assumes it is protected. Or something like that. > As > Lyndon Sharp points out, users make contact and they usually > assume that you > have screwed up and wasted their time.

If anything is missing from a ZIP file, it is immediately detected as damaged. ZIP was originally designed to accomodate being sent over unreliable lines, so it has much more error detection.

Paul, While I am not directly familiar with the newspaper industry, I am involved with direct digital technology (3 Xerox DocuTechs, 1 DocuColor 40 and a 6180), and we use PDF as our preferred file format to all these devices. As for BxW ads to a newspaper, quite frankly, I can think of no better way to send them, it's small, easy to use, and all your fonts and graphics are self contained. (If you create the PDF with embedding on 100%, a practice I highly recommend.) I have seen a number of times on this list about people who do communicate with newspapers in this manner. Anyone have some experience to share out there? With regard to PDF's as e-mail attachments, we have it done all the time, keep in mind though, I highly recommend not using this method if the file is above 4 MB in size, once that size is exceeded, it's time for FTP or the old "send on disk" method. Color: PDF is a COMPOSITE color medium. This means that a color file CANNOT be color separated. HOWEVER, you can send a color separated postscript file to Distiller and get a separated PDF. I have done this many times with offset printers and have had great success. In all cases, there is little that can be gained from not communicating with your output provider. They will definitely have workflows and exceptions for things that you would not foresee. Going through a heads-up stage with the newspapers can mean the difference between a early day at the office, and a 2 AM before the deadline one. Hope this helps.

Rich, There is not a patched version available as far as I know but you can certainly provide the 3.01 Reader and the patch together. Not everyone needs this patch, fyi. You only need this if you are printing to a PCL printer. It doesn't fix anything else. You can get both files from PDFzone.com as the link to the patch in on this first page and then you can download the Reader 3.01 with search if you don't already have it available. ----------------------------- Steve Veloff sjveloff@pdfzone.com http://www.pdfzone.com/ PDFzone.com - Web Development _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 14-Jul-1999 15:37:22-GMT,1878;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA10115 for ; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 09:37:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA03296; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 10:35:04 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 14 Jul 1999 10:33:56 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA03182; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 10:33:54 -0500 Message-Id: <199907141533.KAA03173@everglades.binc.net> X-Sender: castidata@mail.compusmart.ab.ca X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 09:36:07 -0600 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Kevin Chu Subject: RE: [PDF] Version 3.01RA In-Reply-To: <000801bece09$42098420$45a2fecc@scotth.fourgen.com> References: <99Jul14.104114edt.34571@gateway.glbsoft.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/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is sponsored by PDFzone.COM | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ What is RA?

PDF has made getting ads to pubs a much simpler process. For us, the problems actually lie not in the file format, but in standardizing a file transfer/placement method. Just like there are many courier methods in the world, the same holds true for e-files. We find that e-mailing the attachments is cheapest, but lots of effort goes into maintaining email addresses. If every newspaper used a common transfer method across the board, it would make it easier for them and advertisers in the long run. Whatever the method, PDF does greatly simplify the artwork side of the placement process. And with Acrobats mark-up tools, PDF is sure to continue to penetrate the creative/proofing process as well.

I don't want every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinking..."I don't know how to FTP, but because I can e-mail, I'll just attach this 20 MB file. Which of course puts an elephant on a moped, and e-v-e-r-y body gets cranky. Me because I have to wait till my mailbox totally fills to it's 6 or 9 MB capacity (which blocks all other e-mail with attachments in the meantime) to reject the e-mail back to the sender and then the sender gets a whole bunch of nothing...Which brings us full circle to the beginning. You STILL have a file and I need it. Besides, FTP is designed to do this, quickly and efficiently, and I would love to see this as the standard for communicating all files electronically, not just large PDF's. So, spread the word! Maybe if they're in this "open-minded learning curve" with PDF, we can get them working/communicating smarter too! IMHO, of course.

On some machines, distiller always reports the following error: Chicago cannot be embedded due to licensing restrictions. On the troublesome machines, distiller will continue with job and produce a good PDF when fed a normal postscript file, it will produce a good PDF from PDFWriter, it will give the warning and fail completely when feeding distiller a list of files (as in the "RunFilEx.ps" example provided with the Mac install). There are two ridiculous aspects to this error: 1) I seriously doubt Chicago has any special licensing restrictions; and 2) Chicago isn't even in the document I'm processing!!!. I suspect my Acrobat install may be screwed up somehow, but thought I'd check with the list before getting too crazy with everyone's hard drive. Many thanks.

Nope. I tried to isolate the problem by printing a new Simple Text document. There is nothing there besides Geneva. What's the difference anyway...if I can embed Geneva, why not Chicago?

Check out this document from Adobe's Technical Solution's database: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/1aeca.htm There are a number of solutions that should help. Here's another pertinent document: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/196e2.htm This second document goes into a bit of detail to explain the fact that True Type fonts can contain licensing information and why Adobe will honor those restrictions.

[See the end of this email for my original post.] Sure enough, after I got rid of v4.3 and installed v4.2.6 I was able to "Print Only To File" with "Generate Acrobat Data" the FrameMaker book (24 files; 528 pages). The resultant 135,415KB PS file distilled into a perfect 34,226KB PDF. Here is a snip from Bob's e-mail: snip***** Several of us have had crash and lockup problems. The problem is caused by a conflict between FrameMaker and the Adobe PS Driver. The solution is to uninstall the 4.3 PS Driver and install an older one (e.g. version 4.2). snip***** Here is a snip from Jason's e-mail: snip***** Remember, the 4.2.x series drivers require the PPD edit to version 2015 or greater and have a 256 page limit (although I've distilled larger manuals...as long as none of your individual FM files are greater than 256 pages in your 24 file/528 page book). snip***** Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer their help! Richard Inch Technical Documentation Manager Leybold Inficon East Syracuse, NY 13057-9714 rinch@inficon.com **************************************** Original Post: For each manual [FrameMaker Book], I create two PDFs: one without "Generate Acrobat Data" which is used as a duplication master by our print shop, and a second PDF made with "Generate Acrobat Data" which is placed on our corporate Intranet as a viewing PDF. My computer is Win95, Pentium 133, 64MB RAM, 2.8GB free space on disk, FM5.5.6, Acrobat3 with all available upgrades. Distiller v3.02 (ad302.exe) is set up according to Recommendations for High-End Settings in Acrobat Distiller 3.02 (Adobe Document number 319033). I use Adobe PS 4.3 (aps4eng.exe) with the Adistill.ppd. No TT fonts; only Adobe PS. This setup has always worked very well for creating PDFs. I have a large FrameMaker book (24 files, 528 pages). I "Print Only To File" to create a PS which I then Distilled into a PDF for use by the shop that prints and packages our manuals. (Final PDF size is 30,801KB). This works well, and the printer has no complaints about this PDF. However, when I try to "Print Only To File" with "Generate Acrobat Data", I get about 85% through the printing process and then FrameMaker stops and disappears. Windows is locked up, and I must turn my computer off and then back on, then [automatically] do ScanDisk before I get my computer back again. There are many cross-references and a large index in this 24 file FM book. There are also many photographs and other types of illustrations (BMPs, JPGs, TIFF). To me, it looks like I am running out of memory when "Generate Acrobat Data" is selected. I've turned off all other processes with no improvement. I specified my own Virtual Memory settings to Minimum 256, Maximum 512. No help. I've even tried running my computer in Network Server mode to see if this would work, and it did not. Of course I did a ScanDisk and Defrag. Is there something that I am missing which stops FrameMaker from creating the PS file when "Generate Acrobat Data" is selected?

We have had similar problems sending pdf's to Colorado newspapers, many of which are switching to hi-res prepress pdf's for their ad departments. Most of the problems we have had were with the sizes of their mail boxes. At lease one newspaper was using AOL. They have since changed to a professional ISP. They just didn't realize that prepress pdf's can be quite large. The other problem we have seen is that some of these newspapers have demanded the switch to pdf and haven't upgraded their software to 4.0. Jerome Ryden E.

In fact, the TrueType Chicago font does have licensing restrictions. The TrueType Chicago font provided by Apple as part of MacOS and via third parties for Windows is indeed setup for "no embedding!" This means that Acrobat 4 will not embed such a font in a PDF file nor will any other Adobe component that can natively produce PDF files, such as InDesign (not yet released). Thus, if you are running Distiller 4.0 and your PostScript file references Chicago, the job will either fail (Distiller cancels the PostScript job) or continues with a warning (reference to font remains ... display and printing is with the font only if it is installed on the host system, otherwise the font is "fauxed" with one of Acrobat's substitution fonts), or continues without warning (same consequences as in previous instance), all depending upon the joboptions specified in the Distiller. In terms of whether you are actually using the font in your document, there are some applications that seem to never "forget" a font if it is ever used in a document. The font may be called out by the application although it may never actually print any glyphs from it. - Dov At 7/14/99 12:14 PM , robert nichols wrote: >I'm using Acrobat 4.0 on a G3 Mac's running OS 8.6. > > >On some machines, distiller always reports the following error: > > Chicago cannot be embedded due to licensing restrictions. > >On the troublesome machines, distiller will continue with job and produce >a good PDF when fed a normal postscript file, it will produce a good PDF >from PDFWriter, it will give the warning and fail completely when feeding >distiller a list of files (as in the "RunFilEx.ps" example provided with >the Mac install). > >There are two ridiculous aspects to this error: 1) I seriously doubt >Chicago has any special licensing restrictions; and 2) Chicago isn't even >in the document I'm processing!!!. > >I suspect my Acrobat install may be screwed up somehow, but thought I'd >check with the list before getting too crazy with everyone's hard drive. > >Many thanks. > >Robert Nichols >Bushman Dreyfus Architects >-------------------------- >rn@bdarchitectects.com _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 14-Jul-1999 21:43:58-GMT,3047;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA21186 for ; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 15:43:56 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA06380; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 16:42:15 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 14 Jul 1999 16:39:38 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA06103; Wed, 14 Jul 1999 16:39:34 -0500 From: VS@niit.com Message-ID: <21CB596EB8E7D011A0170020AFC407402FFEFD@ho-kkj-msg1.niit.com> To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] Please Help - PDF to HTML Batch Converter Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 02:55:32 +0530 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 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:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is sponsored by PDFzone.COM | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Hi !! We are running a web site that gets data from a IBM S/390 through a AFP printstream. The AFP printstream is first converted to a PDF file. We have a third party converter that can do this. We need to convert the PDF file to HTML in a continous batch mode. I checked pdfzone and only found plug-ins that work with Adobe Acrobat that can convert to HTML. Can any of you please point me to stand alone products that can convert from PDF to HTML in a batch mode ?

Two, his test page had one word "test", in helvetica. However, it also had a page number at the bottom...in guess what font? You win a prize: indeed it was Chicago.

I am currently using Acrobat 3.x Observations: 1. The PDFMaker I currently use will not create bookmarks if I use a style too many times in the Word doc. 2. The PDFMaker creates links and bookmarks defaulting to the "Fit Width" attribute. Since I use screen shots in a lot of my documents, I have to force a particular zoom (133%) and keep it that way. I was able to edit the PDFMaker's macro and change it to produce links with the the "Inherit zoom" attribute.(XYZ null null null) Questions: 1. Does Acrobat4 come with an improved PDFMaker that does not have the style count limitation resulting in no bookmarks created? 2. If an improved PDFMaker is included, are its macros still accessible (no password required)?

Well, not to beat a dead horse, but I might as well learn all I can from this episode... 1) Given my new understanding of the limits of Chicago (not that I use the darn thing, but it somehow keeps turning up in docs), I am disappointed that I can't select in Job Options to Never Embed Chicago. Chicago, and some of the other system fonts, don't show up in any of the lists of fonts available for "non-embedment." 2) Suppose Chicago remains in a postscript file. I can run that postscript file through Distiller, and with my Job Options set to Warn and Continue when there is a problem embedding, I get a warning...and a PDF file. Just what I would expect. But, I've been using Distiller to turn multiple postscript files into a single PDF using the RunFilEx.ps file (provided by Adobe) as a template. This method works wonderfully - perfectly suited to my workflow. However, even though the settings I use in this method include "Warn and Continue," this method fails to produce a PDF when the Chicago problem comes up. To summarize... given a document with Chicago in it, Distiller will produce a PDF when the input is an actual postscript file; it will fail to produce a PDF when the input is a script file such as: /prun { /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 cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file mysave restore % Restores save level } def (Macintosh HD:Folder:Cover.ps) prun (Macintosh HD:Folder:TOC.ps) prun (Macintosh HD:Folder:Chapter1.ps) prun Anyone have any insight into this problem? I really appreciate this list. I've only been on two days, and I can already tell it will be as valuable as Mac-Managers (the ideal). > > >r|i|c|h > > >_ >____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ ><- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> > <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> >___________________________________________________________ > Robert Nichols Bushman Dreyfus Architects -------------------------- rn@bdarchitectects.com _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 15-Jul-1999 13:51:07-GMT,1896;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA14096 for ; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 07:51:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA13474; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 08:47:49 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 15 Jul 1999 08:46:33 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA13269; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 08:46:32 -0500 Message-id: <990715095055.3f0b1ca.c0a8010b.ASIP6.2.23038@bdarchitects.com> Subject: [PDF] Applescripting Distiller Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 09:49:08 -0500 x-mailer: Claris Emailer 2.0v3, January 22, 1998 From: robert nichols To: 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/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is sponsored by PDFzone.COM | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Is anyone out there scripting Distiller?

Robert, We were working with a script that did batch printing (through Acrobat) of PDFs to PS and needed to have the PreFab Player to do some of the things we needed. I would suggest checking it out as you get a fully functional demo for 30 days.

Your "engineer" would appear to have to much time on his or her hands. There is no "lack of confidence" in the file and we aren't trying to "hide it" and there is no conspiracy. Simply stated, our web site features ands supports the latest versions of our software.

One of our engineers says this is because Adobe doesn't have any faith in that file, so they've "hidden it". Using this logic, we're including V3.01, despite the fact it doesn't play well with PCL printers, which is what the majority of our customers use. Is this engineer's theory, that Adobe doesn't want to deal with supporting the V3.02 Reader, correct? _ ____________* FREE DEMO - BETA JAVA VIEWER * _____________ <- Available NOW for a limited time: Adobe Acrobat Viewer for Java -> <- Follow the link at PDFzone.COM: http://www.pdfzone.com/ -> ___________________________________________________________ 15-Jul-1999 18:44:13-GMT,2440;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA22342 for ; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 12:44:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA11368; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 13:41:38 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 15 Jul 1999 13:40:16 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA11098; Thu, 15 Jul 1999 13:40:09 -0500 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Weird error ...used for a new subject....

Places like anacom (http://www.anacom.com if memory serves) let you set up for-pay downloads. You could put the demo PDF on your own site, the real one on theirs with a link. User clicks on the link to purchase, gets taken to their site, which collects and validates credit card info; once that's done, they're taken to another page where they can download your file. That doesn't address the issue of what they DO with your file once they have it. There's nothing to prevent them from sending it to all their friends or whatever. Other companies have plug-ins to address this, allowing you to lock a file to a particular machine.

Unless, that is, you need to use Acrobat Reader with Search, which sadly was never included in any "3.02" packaging :-( CD-ROM applications usually benefit greatly from Search capability. And since Reader 4.0 with Search still isn't available, I don't see that there is much choice beyond using 3.01 plus the RA and OCX fixes.

They pointed out that traffic on the web has increased enormously, many more users have the latest versions of IE4/5 and Netscape Nav/Comm, and there are many more PDFs to download, OF COURSE I will get more error reports - even if the percentage of errors remains the same. Nevertheless, I still think (OK, it is subjective!) that the problem is mostly associated with the two most recent versions of (and I'll stick my neck out again) Internet Explorer.
