Since I have no pdfmark mouseover samples or other guidance I think I'd better stick with what already works... namely... a pdfmark textfield. and... a blank text field that mouseover triggers display of the above text field... The relevant section of code from a pdf for the acrobat generated 'trigger' formfield that does just as I want looks like this: << /Type /Annot /Subtype /Widget /Rect [ 156.71654 262.89508 237.31361 289.76077 ] /T (test01) /FT /Tx /DA (/TiRo 18 Tf 1 1 1 rg) /F 4 /DV (caption) /V (caption) /AP << /N 26 0 R >> /AA << /E 24 0 R /X 25 0 R >> /P 8 0 R >> endobj 24 0 obj << /S /Hide /H false /T (instruction) >> endobj 25 0 obj << /S /Hide /T (instruction) >> endobj Can you or anyone else looking in tell me how to re-organise this into a matching pdfmark?

To this and Aandi's other well-taken points, I would add two examples: 1. Don't use the page's entire available height. When possible, leave at least 6 millimeters (about 1/4 inch) between your final line and the bottom margin. 2. Be cautious about compressing text to force that nine-line paragraph to "just make it" into eight lines. When you switch drivers, the paragraph might revert to nine lines, forcing a heading onto a different page from that promised in the table of contents.

What am I missing? If I change the Times font to Times New Roman, I can then edit in Acrobat. Why can't I edit the Times or Helvetica Bold font? Details: Error Message: "Warning: You cannot edit text in this font." Font Info window shows both Times & Helvetica, Bold as Embedded Subset. In Text Attributes window, both fonts show the Embed box grayed-out. Helvetica is also used in this doc. In Font Info Window, Helvetica is substituted to Arial MT. In Text Attributes window, Helvetica shows as Helvetica, not Arial MT. Randall, This sounds strange. Times and Helvetica Bold are "safe" fonts that, if all is well, should always be available to the Acrobatter, even if not explicitly embedded in the document. Evidently, your system is mapping these two fonts to TrueType equivalents that, by default, are subsetted. Characters rendered in a subsetted font cannot be edited. I have seen PostScript fonts rendered as TrueType by PDFWriter, but never by Distiller. Your first step is to verify that these fonts are where Distiller can find them. Open Adobe Type Manager, select the Fonts tab, and make sure Times and Helvetica Bold fonts are showing up in the left pane. If they're not, click your way into a PostScript font folder, selecting them, and clicking Add. The locations of these folders depends on your operating system and the versions of your Acrobat components. On my Windows 98 PC, they're in C: \PSFONTS\pfm\, in C:\Acrobat3\Distiller\Fonts\pfm\, and in C: \Acrobat3\Exchange\Fonts\pfm\, If Times and Helvetica Bold are, indeed, already visible in ATM's left pane, visit Distiller > Job Options > Font Embedding, and make sure Subset fonts... is deselected. Given the complexity of font issues, both of my suggestions may fail to solve your problem. Acrobatters, please contribute some additional checks. By the way, Bill Hinely, a fellow Acrobatter at NEC, recently was sent a PDF that had a typo requiring correction. The misspelled word was in a subsetted font--in this case, Times New Roman--and hence non-editable. Bill selected the word with the Touchup tool, changed the font to Times, and corrected the typo. (It was Bill's first month as an Acrobatter, and no one had informed him that solving font problems isn't supposed to be that easy.) Paul Franklin Stregevsky, Technical Writer NEC America, Inc.

I sure enjoyed meeting some of you in San Diego at the .PDF 2000 conference! I need your help. I have to massage PDFs that are created by parties other than myself. The problem is that many of these alien PDFs have been optimized for the press but I need to use them for a desktop printing environment. I have created a guidelines document for the marketing manager of our company. He intends to include this document along with our legal agreements with these third party companies (where the alien PDFs come from). I want to make sure that my guidelines are correct. You can help by checking out the web page I just threw together of my document and giving me some feedback. Ignore the bracketed comments that are intended for my co-workers, Rich and Peter. While looking over my guidelines, take into account that I have discovered that most of the alien PDFs are created on Macs using Quark. I work on Windows 98, therefore comments specific to Mac to Windows issues including fonts will be appreciated. Do you agree with my Distiller settings? http://www.concentric.net/~Ivyjeff/WebWorks/ Thanks a bunch!

We >removed all fonts from the "never embed" list so everything >embeds. Subsetting is the same as yours, at 100%) Okay - let me offer a different perspective. (samll comment - PDF files never "re-flow" - the font might "change" - like, if the font is not embeded, the characters might switch from 'Bodoni' to "Courier" or Multiple Masters kicks in and does its best, but PDFs don't "reflow" like PostScript files can when processed (or Quark or Word can do) As a prepress system developer, we found that people generally fall into four catagories on this issue of fonts and embedding/subsetting. [1] NEVER EMBED - some font manufacturers wish that this was more or less impossible, hoping that people would need to buy the fonts at both ends - in one case, we have a proposal where the PDF making gadget that might embed or subset the font requires a dongle to run and embeds a "key" insides the PDF that requires that the reciever ALSO has the dongle at the RIP, so, even though the RIP does NOT require the font to process the file, the font manufacturer is assured that they RIP owner has purchase the font (or the right to "use" the font - and before you say "gee, thats dumb!" consider that some languages have over 10,000 characters/glyphs in the font! (- just be happy that we don't have more than 256 characters for a font in the US!) SO, in these cases, you would NEVER consider embeding the entire font - you would almost always subset, and sometimes (as in the case i describe above) both parties might do themselves a BIG favor and use the same font, and never embed any font infomation. [2] EMBED THE ENTIRE FONT, NEVER SUBSET - some design people would like to embed the entire font, so if there are any last minute changes, these can be accomplished without any heroics - some font manufacturers seem to think this unfair, as this enables people whom might recieve such a PDF with editable embeded fonts to be able to use the font without owning the font (which from my perspective, is silly, since the Acrobat Touch up too only lets you work on a line at a time, and if you tried to open the PDF into Illustrator and did not have the font installed, all sorts of chaos ensues... So, in this case, as a buyer of design, I always INSIST that the people designing brochures ALWAYS use Type1 fonts (which are always embedable), NEVER use TrueType (which can contain "flags" that diable embeding, downloading or outlineing), and ALWAYS embed ALL fonts, and NEVER Subset - and i assume that the people whom they exchange these PDF files will take care to make sure they Process/Print/ these PDFs as they are intended to be Processed/Printed - using the FONTS THAT ARE EMBEDED. [3] ALWAYS EMBED, ALWAYS SUBSET - okay, so [2] is utopia, but sometimes we NEVER want ANY editing, even non-intended/inadvertant changes (font subsitution when RIPing if the font is NOT embeded, or even if it IS EMBEDED someone can indeed "PROCESSES/PRINTS it incorectly) - so i guess thats why the Associated Press, with its AP ADSEND service, (where they offer a service for advertisers to exchange Ads with newspapers here in the US) insists that you subset - this is especially true when you have old systems, they are paginating the ads (placing one PDF into another document, sometimes Quark, sometime another PDF) - this is indeed the second most safest method... [4] OUTLINEwhen i don't want anyone even thinking about editing the text in a document, even when they INTEND to try, and don't even want them to do ANYTHING but be able to print it (and not even let them select text and paste into some other document like an email, you can do several things - one, you can outline the text (some authoring/design applications let you do this (like Illustrator) some Printer drivers on some platforms (and from within the print dialog boxes) enable you to do this (Corel on Windows, for example) - as well, you can turn on Security (either in Distiller or when you "save as" a new PDF from Exchange) where you only allow opening the document and printing - no changing the document, no selecting text and graphics, no adding and changing note and form fields...this way, when you go to under the Acrobat File menu and select Document Info" > Fonts > - it says NONE. no substitution or relow possibilities there! Our PDF making product, Agfa Apogee Create, does not allow subsetting, but will ONLY successfully create a PDF if all the fonts are present and accounted for, as we will "fail" a PostScript file that requires fonts that are not able to be embeded - we felt that the best was to go was to embed the entire font that the document requires, as it affords the best of options of reliable exchange and last minute edting. you can try a fully featured, nothing disabled version of Agfa Apogee Create free for thirty days by downloading it from; http://www.agfa.com/create/ I guess everybodys right. but sometimes they disagree. hope this helps.

Solutions Do one or more of the following: Solution 1 If you're using Adobe Acrobat Distiller 4.0, re save the Duotone file in Photoshop 5.0.2 or later with transfer functions included, and then re-create the PDF file: 1. Open the EPS file in Photoshop 5.0.2 or later. 2. Choose File > Save As. 3. In the EPS Options dialog box, select the Include Transfer Function option, and then click OK. 4. Re-create the PDF file. Solution 2 If you're using Acrobat Distiller 3.0x, re save the Duotone file in Photoshop 4.0 or later with transfer functions included, and then re-create the PDF file with the transfer functions applied: 1. Open the EPS file in Photoshop 4.0 or later. 2. Choose File > Save As. 3. In the EPS Options dialog box, select the Include Transfer Function option, and then click OK. 4. Change Acrobat Distiller's Job Options to apply transfer functions: Choose Distiller > Job Options, click the Advanced tab, choose Apply from the Transfer Functions pop-up menu, and then click OK. 5. Re-create the PDF file. Solution 3 If you're using Acrobat Distiller 3.0x, choose Distiller > Job Options, click the Advanced tab, de select Convert CMYK Image To RGB, and then re-create the PDF file. Solution 4 If you are creating the PDF file from an Adobe PageMaker publication, place no more than one Duotone image on a page in PageMaker and then re-create the PDF file. Solution 5 If the Duotone image contains spot colors and they are missing from the PDF file, do one of the following: - Re-create the PDF file using Acrobat Distiller 4.0 and select the Screen optimized or Press optimized job option. - Print the Duotone image as a separated Postscript file from Photoshop; or, place the Duotone image into a page layout application (e.g., PageMaker) and print it as a separated Postscript file. Then, distill the Postscript file containing the color separations. The resulting PDF file contains one page for each separation plate. Additional Information A Duotone has a two-component color space, which is represented in Postscript Language level 3 and in PDF 1.3 as a device-n color space. Photoshop 4.0.x and 5.0 do not use the device-n color space for duo tones. Instead, they save duotones in the CMYK color space with a set of four transfer functions, one each for C, M, Y, and K. Photoshop 5.0.2 and 5.5, by comparison, use the device-n color space for duotones and therefore don't include transfer functions with duotones. Acrobat Distiller 3.0x does not directly support duotone separations: If it converts a duotone image from Photoshop 4.0.x or 5.0, it must convert a duotone file into CMYK images using the file's transfer functions. When Apply is chosen from the Transfer Functions pop-up menu in Acrobat Distiller 3.0x's Job Options dialog box, Acrobat Distiller 3.0x converts the duotone data to CMYK data for both on-screen display and printing, and duotone files in the resulting PDF file appear and print with the correct colors. When Remove is chosen from the Transfer Functions pop-up menu, Acrobat Distiller 3.0x ignores transfer functions in duotone files, causing the files to appear and print with inverted colors. When Preserve is chosen from the Transfer Functions pop-up menu, Acrobat Distiller 3.0x preserves transfer functions, but it utilizes them only when printing, causing the duotone files to appear with inverted colors. (Please note that using the Preserve option for PDF files you intend to print is not recommended, since some PostScript printers may ignore transfer functions embedded in images in larger PostScript files.) By default, the Convert CMYK Images to RGB option is enabled in Acrobat Distiller 3.0x. This option helps reduce PDF file size and improves the speed with which a PDF file opens, because less information is needed to describe an RGB image than a CMYK image. Acrobat Distiller 3.0x may incorrectly convert the colors for a duotone image created in Photoshop. Acrobat Distiller 4.0 supports duotones that include transfer functions and it automatically applies transfer functions. Acrobat Distiller 4.0 supports duotones only from Photoshop 5.0 or later, however. -----Original Message----- From: cjmarch [mailto:prepress@goprep.com] Sent: 04 December 2000 16:25 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] Inconsistent duo-tone results The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________ Situation: 12 duo-tones (Black & PMS 2587 CV) created in Photoshop 5.0.2 using a consistent method.

What we have found it is that we no idea how to make this work. first, the client users get the following error message "You need to be running inside a web browser in order to submit this form". sounds easy, but how do I make sure that the acrobat document opens in a web browser? Is there a setting for this? (we have the netscape communicator / messenger system installed company-wide.)

Another is that Adobe try hard to not make e-mail work with the free Reader, preferring you to use the full product. Instead, use a web-hosted script (ASP or CGI).

You have to use the lookalike fonts of Arial MT or Times New Roman PS MT (or something else entirely) if you want to be able to edit them in PDF. Just one of the rude surprises of Acrobat 4.0. Dov Isaacs wrote: Acrobat 4.0x fully supports Helvetica and Times. However, it does not bundle these fonts. If you generate PostScript that has Times and/or Helvetica embedded, those fonts will embed and be used for display. However, if you have a PostScript file that requests Times or Helvetica and you don't have Times or Helvetica installed, these substitute fonts will be used. If you have license to Times and Helvetica and you know what you are doing, one little trick that works very well is to copy the 8 .pfm and 8 .pfb files for Times and Helvetica into the Acrobat Resource\Font\PFM and Resource\Font directories and delete the corresponding Arial and Times New Roman .pfm and .pfb files. In that case, on your system, PDF files that request Helvetica and Times but don't have them embedded get "the real thing" when displayed. Paul Franklin Stregevsky wrote: Your first step is to verify that these fonts are where Distiller can find them. Open Adobe Type Manager, select the Fonts tab, and make sure Times and Helvetica Bold fonts are showing up in the left pane. If they're not, click your way into a PostScript font folder, selecting them, and clicking Add. If Times and Helvetica Bold are, indeed, already visible in ATM's left pane, visit Distiller > Job Options > Font Embedding, and make sure Subset fonts... is deselected. In summary, I checked both situations that Paul mentioned. Both were as he mentioned, so no fix was made. Dov suggested a fix which I was unable to complete successfully. Gail's fix is what I ended up using. As the doc is in it's infancy, as far as a style guide goes, I was able to change fonts and make it work correctly.

The CDROM distribution pdf (origination in Quark) that I am developing looks fine in menu view in Acrobat 4.05 but in FullScreen there is a marked and unacceptable colour shift towards red/blue. I could adjust the spot colour to be 'tranlsated' adequately but the dozens of colour images are all unacceptably degraded. I am using eBook setup in Distiller and the problem is duplicated on a second (PC 350Meg) machine. Is this an Acrobat fault/limitation? Does anyone have any idea how I might progress a solution?

I could adjust the spot colour to be 'tranlsated' adequately but the dozens of colour images are all unacceptably degraded. I am using eBook setup in Distiller and the problem is duplicated on a second (PC 350Meg) machine. Is this an Acrobat fault/limitation? Does anyone have any idea how I might progress a solution? Thanks Denis Postle ps if anyone with pdfmark experience could take a look at my 'linked pdfmarks 12.44' message I'd appreciate that too!

I am setting the destination to inherit zoom by using, for example, "/XYZ -4 842 null" and have found that in Acrobat 4.05 (at least) the zoom is NOT retained. However, if I create similar bookmarks that go elsewhere within the same file, the inherit zoom does work. Is this an Acrobat bug? To check that it was not my plug-in, I tried creating an inter-document bookmark from the Acrobat interface and found that the inherit zoom does not work there. (It did seem to initially but if you save, close and re- open the file it does not.) Can anyone confirm this or suggest a work-around?

To avoid my asking a string of basic questions, can folks recommend one or two of the best books? (I see mine are all version 3.) (How soon is version 5 due out?) 2. Here is one of those questions. I made a PDF of a 2-page 3-fold brochure, landscape, from Quark 4.xx using the Export as PDF function, with Laserwriter 8 from the chooser. The PDF looked fine, but the only way I can print all of it (smaller) is to choose Fit to Page among the Reader options. (Also tried to print it from Acrobat.) Otherwise, it prints an incomplete landscape page. Printing starts 5 picas from the left edge and ends 8 picas from the right. So printing is almost 9 inches wide, which "sounds like" 8.5 plus bleeds. Went back and made another, looking for every chance I could find to choose Letter and Lansdscape. (Including creating a new Acrobat Distiller job settings profile with Landscape dimensions as the default page size.) Again, looks great on the screen but prints incomplete. Tried choosing Tabloid paper, but the multipurpose tray is not available and Letter paper is used. TIA...

The problem is most apparent when I put up both the quark file and the pdf file in menu view next to each other. The color is very obviously identical. By comparison, the Fullscreen View is unacceptably off-balance towards blue. So it doesn't seem likely to be a Quark issue. But a big problem nonetheless since I am working with close to 1000 screens and hundreds of images. BTW I have tried changing the Fullscreen frame from black to grey to see if there was some artefact there but it didn't make any difference. Any other suggestions/lines of enquiry would be welcome.

Since the color is correct in normal viewing mode, then we know that Acrobat has all the correct information for displaying the file - so there is no issue about how it put together. That leaves Acrobat and full screen mode. It sounds like you are using Windows as your OS platform, and Windows is well know for having "less than accurate" color correction code. I wonder if when Acrobat goes "full screen", it ends up having to rely on Windows code, rather than it's own, and hence the problem. One way to check this out would be to try viewing the file on a Mac - both regular and full screen and see if the problem persists. Also, you might want to try using an alternative PDF viewer (perhaps Ghostscript?) and see if it has similar problems.

Acrobat4 seems only to allow me to capture the scanned area (the bounding rectangle), it allows me to scale it, but I can't figure out how to add a margin around the scanned image ( I can crop the page, but not add to it). Or to put it another way, what I want to do is scan the page into the space that's left once I've allowed my defined margins (lets say 1 inch) to my page size (lets say A4). Can I do this with Acrobat, do I need Capture, are there any tricks? many thanks Tim ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Dr.Tim Dudgeon British Biotech Pharmaceuticals plc -------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This message contains proprietary information some or all of which may be confidential and/or legally privileged.

Have your scanner make TIF files rather than going "straight" to PDF. As a TIF, you can easily pad the whitespace around your page-image with a tool such as ScanFix, from TMSSequoia. THEN you are ready to bring it into PDF.

Denis, After you extract the EPS files, you can simply open them in a text editor to see the pdfmark code. They're simple text files. To extract the files to your machine, first save the PDF to your machine, open it directly in Acrobat (not in a browser) right-click an annotation and select "Extract File...". Do not double-click or otherwise launch the files. Note that you will need Acrobat 4 or Business Tools. If you have any problems, I'd be happy to post the text here.

My solution would be to find the capability that would allow a user to automatically convert a Notes document to a PDF document in one step (preferably from a menu pick or a button). I can partially do this now, in a manual fashion, by selecting the print option, using the pdfwriter and then specify the filename and save location. This is one to many steps for an end user to remember. I was told by a third party vendor that by installing the full version of Adobe Acrobat with the Lotus Client (version?) would produce a menu pick (File\"Convert to PDF") from within Notes. I guess there is an API loaded here? I have been unable to determine or confirm whether this is true or not? Is there someone out there with a suggestion or may have done this already and can provide me with step by step instructions/information about how to perform this function?

I want the CD to autorun when inserted into a PC computer. I've tried the two differnet autorun.info files below. However, with either one, when the CD is inserted, a window comes up saying the .exe file cannot not be located with an option to locate. When you click on the locate button and then click on the CD it locates the .exe file. Once that is done, the CD will autorun anytime you put it into that same computer. But as soon as you take it to another CD it asks to locate the .exe file- if you burn a new CD it will still work on that computer without having to locate the .exe file.

__________________________________________________________________

I'm creating a pdf file for a client to be
put on a CD as a marketing piece.
I want the CD to autorun when inserted
into a PC computer. I've tried the two differnet autorun.info
files below. However, with either one, when the
CD is inserted, a window comes up saying the .exe file
cannot not be located with an option to locate.
When you click on the locate button and then
click on the CD it locates the .exe file. Once that
is done, the CD will autorun anytime you put
it into that same computer. But as soon as you
take it to another CD it asks to locate the .exe file-
if you burn a new CD it will still work on
that computer without having to locate the .exe file.
My client wants their potential customers to be
able to insert the CD into their computer and
Acrobat Reader and the pdf file automatically comes up.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong
and what I need to do to fix it.
 

[autorun]
open="Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" filename.pdf
defaulticon=Acrobat 0
 
 

With this autorun.info below, I capitalized the .exe and the filename
because that is the way it burned onto the CD.
I work on a macintosh, and the file names are all
lower case, but when I burn the CD for ISO it capitalizes
the file names. This CD does not have to be
cross platform - I just want it to autorun for pc.

[autorun]
open=reader_search\Reader\ACRORD32.EXE FILENAME.PDF
icon=reader_search\Reader\ACRORD32.EXE

I would greatly appreciate any info on making a CD autorun
on the PC platform.

Thanks,
Gayle

A bit clumsy but it may get you started. I would think there might be an API or some product in PDFZONE. Hope it helps. To combine PostScript files into one PDF file: 1. Start a text editor or a word processor. 2. Choose File > Open, use the browser to locate Runfilex.ps (Windows) or RunFilEx.ps (Mac OS) in the Acrobat Distiller Xtras folder, and open the file as a text file with carriage returns. 3. Follow the instructions in the Runfilex.ps or RunFileEx.ps file. Note that this utility combines PostScript files in the order in which they are listed. 4. Choose File > Save As, and save the modified Runfilex.ps or RunFileEx.ps under a new name. Use the name you want Distiller to give the PDF file. For example, if you name the file Handbook.ps, Distiller creates a PDF file called Handbook.pdf. If you're using a word processor, save the file as a text file. 5. Quit the text editor or word processor. 6. Open the file in Distiller. 7. Convert the combined file to PDF, or place the file in an In folder to be converted later. 8. When the PDF file is ready, open the file in Acrobat and make sure that all of the document parts are present and in the correct order. To combine PostScript files that are in the same folder: Follow the instructions in the Rundirex.txt (Windows) or RunDirEx.txt (Mac OS) file in the Acrobat Distiller Xtras folder.

I want the CD to autorun when inserted into a PC computer. I've tried the two differnet autorun.info files below. However, with either one, when the CD is inserted, a window comes up saying the .exe file cannot not be located with an option to locate. When you click on the locate button and then click on the CD it locates the .exe file. Once that is done, the CD will autorun anytime you put it into that same computer. But as soon as you take it to another CD it asks to locate the .exe file- if you burn a new CD it will still work on that computer without having to locate the .exe file. My client wants their potential customers to be able to insert the CD into their computer and Acrobat Reader and the pdf file automatically comes up. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to fix it. [autorun] open="Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" filename.pdf defaulticon=Acrobat 0 With this autorun.info below, I capitalized the .exe and the filename because that is the way it burned onto the CD. I work on a macintosh, and the file names are all lower case, but when I burn the CD for ISO it capitalizes the file names. This CD does not have to be cross platform - I just want it to autorun for pc. [autorun] open=reader_search\Reader\ACRORD32.EXE FILENAME.PDF icon=reader_search\Reader\ACRORD32.EXE I would greatly appreciate any info on making a CD autorun on the PC platform.

The original PDF file looks perfect on screen, as do the laser proofs supplied to us. The majority of the two-column text is perfect. One file has lists of the casts of characters in a movie and these are the problem. There is a character's name at the left, followed by leader dots, followed by the actor's name; several different lists consisting of multiple lines like this. All appear properly justified left and right on screen and lasers. However, when output to film (and lasers) the leaders and the actors names are pushed out to the right, into the other column or off the page. We've tried exporting to postscript and redistilling, with the same end result only in addition we can now see the text looking bad on screen too. We are proceeding to fix in PitStop, editing lines manually. However, we'd like to educate the customer to avoid in the future. Any ideas? Here are specs for the file, from Acrobat: Created in QuarkXPress, using PSPrinter 8.1.1 and Distiller 3.01 for Macintosh, PDF 1.2. The fonts are Type 1, Courtney-Regular and Courtney-Bold. Fonts are embedded and subset.

The original PDF file looks perfect on screen, as do the laser proofs supplied to us. The majority of the two-column text is perfect. One file has lists of the casts of characters in a movie and these are the problem. There is a character's name at the left, followed by leader dots, followed by the actor's name; several different lists consisting of multiple lines like this. All appear properly justified left and right on screen and lasers. However, when output to film (and lasers) the leaders and the actors names are pushed out to the right, into the other column or off the page. We've tried exporting to postscript and redistilling, with the same end result only in addition we can now see the text looking bad on screen too. We are proceeding to fix in PitStop, editing lines manually. However, we'd like to educate the customer to avoid in the future. Any ideas? Here are specs for the file, from Acrobat: Created in QuarkXPress, using PSPrinter 8.1.1 and Distiller 3.01 for Macintosh, PDF 1.2. The fonts are Type 1, Courtney-Regular and Courtney-Bold.

(Note that according to the Red Book specification, EPS can be somewhat arbitrary PostScript with relatively few restrictions!) For other applications, we have found no general problems with use of binary encoding and/or PostScript Level 2 / PostScript 3 in EPS files exported from Acrobat 4.05a and imported (placed) into documents that can deal with valid EPS files. - Dov At 12/7/2000 08:33 AM, Matt Beals wrote: >I would suggest you not subset the fonts first of all.

Just need some > real world clarification so I can pass this info on to some of > our users. Thanks. The best and shortest answer is "nothing much". A useful real world answer is: if you have a particular output device in mind, set it to the resolution of that device (NOT of the images you use) or higher. Technically: it does nothing at all in Distiller except set a number. This number will be given to any PostScript file that asks "what is the resolution?" Some PostScript files will make decisions on the basis of the answer. A typical example is that some high-end applications like Freehand might work out how many steps to use for a graduated blend. Higher resolutions generate more steps: a better quality but a larger file.

We have about 1000 leaflets in PDF format. 10% of those documents prints with a black square instead of the picture. All documents are made exactly the same way with Pagemaker 6.52. The only thing that I know is that pictures are delivered to us in different formats and that we then converts them to tiff. Above happened when we changed printer. Before this we used a HP 8100 printer to print our leaflets till we where allowed to buy a OCÉ 8465 printer. Now on the new printer we got this problem.

I had to make two PDFs from two issues of a small newsletter. After putzing around for an hour or more, I managed to eke out a PDF one of the two files, and I can verify that the fonts and one JPEG image were correctly embedded. I'm using a Mac G3 with OS8.5.1 and beaucoup de RAM and Acrobat 4.05 (the whole suite) I want to convert a made-from-scratch PM6.5 file, all two pages long, into a PDF file. This is what I have done: I write a PS file to the Distiller watched folder. Distiller alertly sniffs out the visiting PS file and properly distills it (as it shows on the progress thermometer when it reaches 100%) Then when Distiller continues to the Relocating Files routine, it hangs at 0%. Nothing happens. I can still move the cursor, but I can't click on the title bar to move the window or click the Pause button, nor can I switch to another program running in the background. And if I have a background routine in progress (e.g., printing a file), it also hangs. All I can do is type Ctrl-Opt-Esc and force Distiller to quit. This also happens when I export the file as a PDF directly from PM6.5. PM properly invokes Distiller and attempts to distil the little fella, but it hangs at the same spot. Twice, I have gotten the error message in the Distiller window message pane that it could not continue with the Optimize option selected. So I reset the Optimize option in the Job Options dialog and continued. Still, no luck. The last time something like this happened, about four or five weeks ago, I reinstalled Distiller and tossed the prefs, etc. At that time, I was working with QXP 4.11 files (something I am not very familiar with), and so I attributed most of the problems to what seemed to be a very clunky process that QXP used to generate PDF files. I'm at my wits end, and the Acrobat manual isn't much help. We have an Adobe FAQ book, c. 1998, but like most other Adobe books, it looks beautiful but the index is so piss poor that I haven't even tried to find any help in it. Thanks for any advice. ------------------- Michael Brady jbrady@email.unc.edu http://www.unc.edu/~jbrady/index.html Receive the latest PDF News in your Inbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8-Dec-2000 15:51:09-GMT,4965;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by sunshine.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA14528 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 08:51:08 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA20120; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:48:03 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:41:36 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA19770; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:41:35 -0600 Received: from mail.Firstdatacorp.COM (mail.firstdatacorp.com [170.186.38.195]) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA19764; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:41:33 -0600 From: Jeanie.Shoemaker@firstdatacorp.com Received: (from smtp@localhost) by mail.Firstdatacorp.COM (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA09088; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:29:48 -0600 (CST) X-Authentication-Warning: mail.firstdatacorp.com: smtp set sender to using -f Received: from () by mail via smap (V2.1) id xma008937; Fri, 8 Dec 00 15:29:08 GMT Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF Decryption To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Cc: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com, pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0.3 March 21, 2000 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2000 09:40:31 -0600 X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on SRVMTA1/FDR/FDC(Release 5.0.3 |March 21, 2000) at 12/08/2000 09:40:40 AM 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:webmaster@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________ Jeremy, I played with Options (David Evans' suggestion), and it does what you want.

However, these bookmarks need to be added dynamically at runtime, or, at least, I need to be able to concatenate several PDF Documents, each with its own set of bookmarks into a single large PDF. I looked at PDFLib, which doesn't support Web-link bookmarks, and PJ and PjScript. I could implement the routines using PJ's low level API, but I would prefer to use a higher-level API if one is available. Do you know of such a toolkit which I can use ? We're deploying on Linux servers, so I would need something that can be accessed from Java on Linux. That rules out all the Windows NT/2000 toolkits out there... The basic function for above question would be for web users to make changes to forms, currently, the user needs to download about 2 MB file everytime the user wants to make a change is there any compression tool which you know of that can compress the size so that users do not have to wait for the download. anythoughts?

You want AppendPDF or AppendPDF Pro from Digital Applications (). They are command line applications which will happily merge/append PDF documents together maintain existing books and/or adding new ones.

When I try to create thumbnails with the Acrobat 4.05c for Windows (I tryed on 95,98 and 2000, Win98 sometimes work) the colors in the thumbnails don't match the colors in the pdf-pages. A white page produces a grey pixeled thumbnail or even worse a light magenta. It looks like the Acrobat picks up the colors of the page and chooses the nearest color out of a 16 color palette which doesn't match very well. The problem occors, when I have to create the thumbnails from the already processd pdf-file and where a source (e.g. a Quark file) is not available. It occur also, when I send the pdf again through the distiller, option "included creation of thumbnails" set. The problem does not occur, when I have a source file like Quark-Express and can produce pdf and thumbnails at once.

When I then convert it to CMYK I can delete and recreate the thumbnail and it is correct. The problem: I cant find a setting in Acrobat to say something like "pay attention to RGB" and I cant convert all stuff in the big PDF-Files to CMYK, they are already full of links, bookmarks and annotations and I would loose them when I send the files again through the distiller. On the other hand, often a source from where the pdf was produced is not available any more. I'll contimue experimenting... :-) Raimund > > Me too!

Is your page smaller than a full page size, so it's using the colour to indicate the margins of your page? That doesn't sound like a bug so much as an Adobe decision to indicate that using colour. I thought it looked pretty impressive on the thumbnail, with the brackets showing what I assumed were the margins of the page. If there was a problem, I'd see it as Acrobat giving a thumbnail for an 8x11 page, regardless of the size of the actual page. * ^ * ^ * Wendy Cutler Project Co-ordinator, Application Devl & Support ITB, Ministry of Social Development and Economic Security * mailto:Wendy.Cutler@gems2.gov.bc.ca *(604) 660-1591 Fax: (604)775-0846 -----Original Message----- From: Schuitz Grafik Design [mailto:info@schuitz.com] Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 2:51 AM ...

You only get asked for each different password once, so only one password request for each set of files sharing the same password. Options checks which files need passwords before processing, so once it starts the batch processing no more user input should be required.

I distilled a simple text file as screen-optimized and I used PitStop to change the tint of the calibrated RGB to white. When I then created the thumbnails, lavender text appeared! Conclusion: Calibrated RGB looks blue in a thumbnail. PS. When you want to convert all colors in a document to RGB with PitStop, it is better to use a "convert to RGB" action.

She's a very articulate complainant and her piece sheds light on a variety of aspects of 'compliants/concerns/disputes that are relevant to IPN. You can find the article 'Open letter to Janet Boakes [UKCP chair]....' at www.physis.co.uk/open.htm ... I've put up links to it on IPNOSIS and G.O.R.I.L.L.A. and if her site is inacessible there is a downloadable copy on G.O.R.I.L.L.A.

I could use your help identifying which tools or plugins are recommended for the work that I am doing. I work on Win98 but our IT department wants me to graduate to Win2000. I am resisting because I know that WinNT which Win2000 is derived from is not PostScript friendly. Is anyone out there successfully creating very small PDFs under Win2000? I create forms which our software's UI gathers the information/data for and the logical model we create decides which forms to print and populate the fields of. The end users of my forms will Never interact with the PDF- only with the software's user interface which is browser based. The PDFs are streamed to the client at the end of their session simply so that they have a set of forms documenting the transactions they made in the software. So I create intelligent PDF forms but not interactive ones. My job has several major parts. Part One - I create forms which are converted to PDF forms but also need to be filled out by hand therefore I do not add drop down lists or other GUI objects to these forms. Currently I am using MSPublisher 2000 because it was available but will probably switch to a "PostScript" aware software tool shortly such as Corel Ventura. Part Two - PDFs are sent to me from sources that I have no control over. These are forms to which I will be adding form fields. These PDFs have often not been optimized for desktop printing. Looks like they turn the press piece into a PDF and then think that will serve for desktop as well. So paper sizes may not have been standardized - some of them even have text that is clipped if "fit to paper" is not selected. They might have bleeds or very large blocks of color (toner wasters) or page numbers that are no longer accurate. I will need to try to fix these problems so that the PDF forms can be printed to desktop printers. Part Three - On occasion, I may need to scan some forms, create a PDF of it and add form fields. The scanner is on the way but I assume some kind of Acrobat plugin might be helpful here say for deskewing and making the lines on the form of consistent weight, color and etc. Part Four - Form Fields, forms field, form fields. Some of the PDFs mentioned above might be several pages with a hundred or so form fields. Right now I have to double click on each one to be sure that I've appropriately assigned attributes, formatting and/or scripts. It would be nice to find some kind of form field reporting software that would help me manage and document all of these fields. I am considering purchasing PitStop Pro. from Enfocus. I hope their product will enable me to adjust the alien PDFs for desktop printing (Part Two) plus assist with the form scanning (Part Three). But I'm not sure if I need other software from Enfocus or if PitStop will do all that I need. Or perhaps there is another vendor/product that would be helpful. The form field reporting is VERY important. Anything that will help me manage all these fields in a quick and easy way will be a great asset. At this time, I am more interested in purchasing an off-the shelf solution or two and won't be able to put in the time needed to analyze solutions which developer contractors may offer to design. What do you recommend? Please be as specific as possible: Vendor/Manufacturer, Product, Product version, how you believe it will help, website for more info., and etc. Thanks for the input regarding my PDF specifications which I posted earlier. It is still online http://www.concentric.net/~Ivyjeff/WebWorks/ if you'd like to take a look. I have yet to update it with the advice that I received from the list. Most of which related to the Fonts section. The recommendation was to remove the section regarding "never embed the Base 14 fonts". However, I may leave it in because I KNOW the demographics of my user base and I'm trying to make my file sizes the smallest I possibly can. I will test and research this further.

About 8 - 12 months ago there was a lot of talk about a tiny white horizontal line that appeared through the text (on screen). Resolutions were out there to use products other than Adobe Capture 2.01 (at the time). PageGenie was an application that addressed this issue successfully while Capture was taking a left turn to Capture 3.0 (NT based). Well, interesting enough I have encountered some new twists. I have not went out there (adobe or the web) and tried to figure out how many different versions of free Acrobat Reader there are, but I do know there are 2 versions that render different results. Looking at these 2 versions listed below I found different results. Version 4.05c 0705 16:28 - Use this version with single striped image PDFs and "white lines" appear. Version 4.0 0513 09:57 - Problem resolved. - no lines. The weird thing is that I thought by getting to the 4.05c version and staying current (webBuy) this would not be an issue. I guess I am wrong... Also makes you think about the issue if you are archiving PDF from paper and planning to perhaps use the Merchant/Webbuy options. I do not need a solution as I have it in the paragraph above. But I do think about why we had to move away from a Adobe product. I surely am not digging into this reason, but thought I would stir the pot a little as well as offer this interesting point to the one or two of you that have interest in this area. Any insight back is appreciated, but not expected.

No? then buy yourself a mac and start making technology work for you, instead of you working around its limitations. seriously, you will crash less and go home earlier if you move to macintosh. enfocus pitstop will do what you want, but it will crash more often on windows. (As proof, i have _NEVER_ crashed my mac wordprocessing. my pc's crash randomly, whatever the task.)

What do you mean by not postscript friendly - neither Macs nor PCs can display postscript natively and as far as I know you need Adobe Type Manager to deal with postscript fonts without hassles. One thing I have noticed is that computer administrators often make the mistake of installing a non-postscript printer driver - watch for that. As for pdf tools - I don't do forms or anything - just try and get pdf files to service bureaus and as such don't really need pitstop or the like. However I have seen pitstop in action and it can get into pdf files and modify elements which is pretty impressive. I have also seen "Quite a box of tricks" and I don't know whether it does what you need but it might be worth a look.

It is correct that Windows NT 4 was somewhat PostScript and Type 1 brain-dead. However, Type 1 and OpenType font rendering is now integrated into the Windows 2000 operating system per a joint project of Adobe and Microsoft. It is the most stable and reliable of the Windows variants at this point and its font handling and PostScript driver support is at least as good as if not better than MacOS 9. There is no problem creating PDF files under Windows 2000 that you wouldn't have under any other operating system environment. Important caveat!!! Do NOT, I repeat NOT, do an "upgrade" from Windows'98 (or any other version of Windows) to Windows 2000. Do what is called a "clean install" in which you effectively move all your data off your system, reformat the disk, load the operating system, and then reload your applications. The Microsoft "upgrader" leaves too many "doggy droppings" on the system and you will have problems from the first boot onward. These problems do not occur with a clean install. Also note that a number of applications install differently under Windows 2000 (or NT) than on Windows'9x. You really want them installed such that they work correctly for Windows 2000. I leave the other questions to be answered by other participants on this list. - Dov cjmarch , I find your comments rather interesting. I suspect that you are somewhat of a Macintosh "fan." First of all, with regards to your claim of "30% more PostScript errors on Windows than on Macintosh" ... What applications are you seeing this with? With applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Quark XPress, ALL the PostScript is generated by the application itself, not the operating system and not the driver. In the case of the Adobe applications, I can readily vouch for the fact that the PostScript generation cross-platform is IDENTICAL except for the "setpagedevice" commands at the start of the job and those are PPD file-based. And Adobe is not aware of any 30% more PostScript bug problem with the Windows drivers. We should know because Adobe provides the drivers for both the Macintosh (the LaserWriter and the AdobePS drivers) and Windows (AdobePS for Windows'9x/Me/NT 4 and PSCRIPT for Windows 2000). Maybe the problem you are seeing with regards to a large number of PostScript errors has nothing to do with the platform the PostScript came from, but rather inexperience on the part of newer customers you may have been encountering who are running on Windows as opposed to the more traditional ones you have dealt with in the past who were totally Macintosh-based. Secondly, if you have a PC crashing "randomly, whatever the task" I respectfully submit that either (1) your hardware is flaky and needs attention, (2) you are running Windows'9x or Me and should really be running Windows 2000, or (3) your system is grossly misconfigured somehow. But plenty of graphics professionals and enterprise users run under Windows at least as effectively, efficiently, and successfully as those who run under Macintosh. Personally, I run under both. Each has its own slight edge in certain areas. And both have their quirks and liabilities. There is no question that the Macintosh has garnered its own cult with true-believers. The problem is separating the feelings from realities. - Dov At 12/12/2000 02:00 PM, cjmarch wrote: >yup. 30% more postscript errors on windows than on macintosh. do you have 30% >more time to complete tasks?

The Adobe PS/LaserWriter controls the generation of postscript. Adobe takes care of making those. Both systems have their merits. Personally, content creation for me is easier on the Mac. I have both Mac (OS 9.0.4) and a PC (NT4WS). Both are extremely stable. When it comes to using Pitstop though, I think my PC is much better in terms of speed and stability. You should contact a competent Mac technician to examine your system, as well as a competent PC technician. Now to the point. Ivy, I would suggest that you stay away from Corel products in general. I have had a harder time using them more often than not. I would suggest QuarkXPress first, and PageMaker/InDesign second. I highly recommend PitStop Pro. You can change font embedding settings, down/up sample images and a myriad of other things. Plus, with its actions list, you can create a script of sorts to perform repeated tasks. Enfocus (http://www.enfocus.com includes many actions already created for much of what you are looking to do. Very much worth the money as it is such a powerful tool. I am not sure about what to do for the last few questions. Feel free to contact me off list if you would like.

I have four PDF related question concerning our present project. Can an HTML link be made to open _a specific page_ of a PDF file? Is there an _easy_ way of adding a navigation interface, so that a series of _separate_ PDF files can be leafed through as though they were pages of a single PDF file? Can a link in a PDF file be made to open another PDF file to a specific page to a _new_ window? Is there a separate application that can be used to act as a TOC to the PDF files, that can be compiled relatively easily cross-platform? ------------------------ A colleague at the company I work for handles the production of a 900+ paged printed catalog for a mail/fax/web order PC parts vendor. This client now wants to make a CD-ROM out of the main part of the printed catalog--the description of the products, which take up over 90 percent of the volume-- to be given out to their potential customers. Now, all the catalog pages are made with Quark Xpress 3.3-J. The products description pages, the main content of the CD-ROM, will be converted to PDF files. Besides these PDF files, we need something for the search. My colleague is considering HTML files. A top page, with a total of about 25 main categories, such as CPU, Memory, Mother boards, Chasis, VGA cards, etc. etc. Clicking on a category will lead to another HTML page with a list of all the product names within the category-- maybe 20 or 30 entries. Each product name in this list would have two link buttons; one to yet another HTML page, the price chart for all products within the category, linking to the price entry of the product. The other button is to open the product descripton PDF file. This is the problem. We want the PDF to be one file per main product category, since the customer will likely want to flip back and forth to other products within the same category. A normal HTML link will open the PDF file at its first page, but we want the PDF to open on the page of the specific product, depending on the link button pressed. Thus, to -------------------- Can an HTML link be made to open _a specific page_ of a PDF file? I opened some PDF files as text and found that PDF defines object blocks and uses this to define link destinations. May be some sort of scripting code, like Java--of which I'm completely ignorant--, can be embedded in HTML to access this PDF code? If this is possible, is there some sort of graphical editor for this task, since we can't manage to manually look up hundreds of block codes of the PDF and type in the script/code one by one? Taking a different approach leads to -------------------- Is there an _easy_ way of adding a navigation interface, so that a series of _separate_ PDF files can be leafed through as though they were pages of a single PDF file? If the PDF were made into separate files per each product description, then we wouldn't have to worry about opening a PDF to a _specific_ page, as I asked in the previous question. But then, we need some setup to connect the separated files to act as though they were continuous pages of a single file. I imagine adding link buttons in the page layout would be one way. But as the page layout is already full, we would prefer not to go back to the original Quark files and change the file size to add new buttons within the page. The standard Acrobat interface does not work for this specific need--since the "Go Back" and "Go Forward" buttons/commands work historically and the Previous Page and Next Page buttons/commands work only within a single file--but perhaps a plug in that would add similar buttons on the menu bar that can be programmed for our purpose, something that would also enable the use of PageUp and PageDown keyboard buttons for the series of files would be ideal. Yet another approach leads to -------------------- Can a link in a PDF file be made to open another PDF file to a specific page to a _new_ window? The reason my colleague considered using HTML files in the first place for the top page, the list-of-products-per-category pages, and the price-list-per-category pages, is that PDF links seem always to open the new link in the same window _replacing_ the previous view. We want the TOC to always stay in a separate window, to be viewed at all times. I know that, instead of using the "Open file" link property, if we used "Execute menu item" and selected the File Open command, the new file opens to a new window. But, this opens any file that was user-selected at the dialog, and is _not_ a link to a preset destination. is yet another approach -------------------- Is there perhaps a separate application that can be included in the CD-ROM to act as a TOC to the PDF files, that can be compiled relatively easily cross-platform (Windows and Mac)? Linking from either HTML or PDF TOC files would be our first choice, since they are both simple inexpensive cross-platform solutions. But including a separate TOC application--I don't know if this is the proper way to call it-- is also an option. It does _not_ need to perform a string search. It doesn't _not_ need to be linked to a database to search for products matching various conditions. It simply needs to serve as a hyperlink TOC, as described previously (a top page with 20+ category listing; each category item is linked to a list of all products within the category; each product name in the category is linked to a HTML price chart and a specific page of the PDF file which provides the detailed product description). It would be ideal if the same app could be compiled into the Windows and the Mac versions, but we can have two completely different apps for each platform. Royalties to use it in a CD-ROM, if any, are also a major consideration. -------------------- You maybe wondering, well why not use the standard bookmark? I think the bookmark, with the collapsing layer display, works great. But in our case, we have 25+ top headers each with 20 to 30+ entries, so going up and down the list and collapsing would seems too much trouble. A separate TOC window, as described previously would be much preferred. At the same time, though, I'm not too optimistic whether there is a feasible solution for any of the four possibilities mentioned above. In this case, we would have to put the 2-layer TOC in the standard bookmark frame, make the HTML price list to PDF, and do everything in one Acrobat window. Side note 1; I realize we might have more options if the original catalog were made with a different application, perhaps FrameMaker, since Quark 3.3 seems limited in PDF and HTML output. But my colleague tells me that with the complexity of the layout--lots of graphics, lots of different layout patterns, manual adjustments to fit things to the page, etc. etc., it can't be done with Frame. He also tells me that Quark 4 may give us greater possibility with its plug-ins, but the 3.3J files cannot be converted to 4J, for practical purposes. Side note 2; In the future, from what I hear, converting the data to perhaps XML may be a great solution; for this we would need competent outside engineers and lots of analysis and preparation to set up a whole series of customized applications--a grand project indeed if we ever get around to it. -------------------- I've asked several questions; I'll greatly appreciate it if you can share any insight you may have on any of them. If you can reply, please also send the message directly to my address, since I'm on digest. Thanks for your time.

For example, set page 356 as a the named destination "342abc" (you name the destination whatever makes sense for you), and you can link to that destination with an HTML link. Your HTML link would be "path/document.pdf#342abc". That method depends on you doing the work in Acrobat--not the most efficient way if the PDF changes frequently . You would have to redo the destinations every time the PDF is generated. You may also be able to add named destinations by using pdfmark commands (pdfmark is an extension to postscript code) in your original app. I have done it in FrameMaker many times--simple process that creates the named destinations automatically every time the PDF is generated. Another benefit is that if the text holding the destination rolls to another page, the named destination rolls with it. I know nothing about using pdfmark in Quark. Question 4: You could do this in PDF, also. We create a main menu in Frame that holds links to all our manuals and create a PDF from it. Using pdfmark commands, the links are set up in Frame and are generated with the PDF. No need to fiddle with it in Acrobat. Again--I know nothing about Quark. Your project sounds ideal for FrameMaker. Granted, making style overrides to make something fit isn't the best way to use Frame, but making links between files is a snap. You didn't ask about putting your files on CD-ROM, but I hope someone else comments about combining PDF files and HTML files on a CD-ROM. The HTML files must be viewed in a browser, but the PDF files do not.

In the past Illustrator files needed to have long paths cut in order to RIP the files. Even files that were only going to pdf files would register a string length error when opened in Acrobat. This week I was prepping a file on a Mac g4, Illustrator 8.1 and Acrobat 4 and entered the plit long paths command. When I viewed the result there were no splits in my polygons. Just to be on the safe side I ran the file through Illustrator 7 and the polygons ended up being split. Will the new RIP's handle the non-split files and will earlier versions of Acrobat Reader be able to view them?

Ichikawa-san, QUESTION 2 (Is there an _easy_ way of adding a navigation interface, so that a series of _separate_ PDF files can be leafed through as though they were pages of a single PDF file? ...): While my answer will not provide the solution that you want, I posted a detailed procedure that solves a similar problem ("Duplicating Bookmarks Across Files") in the July 23, 1997 issue of the PDF Discussion list (http://www.pdfzone.org/resources/lists/pdf/199707/msg00256.html). The procedure is a sort of "shell game" workaround that lets several files appear to share a single set of bookmarks, in a single window. You are correct, as I recall, that the "Go Back" button will not take you back to the earlier file. For that, I created two fields: (1) a field on Page 1 that said "Go Back to end of preceding file," and (2) a field on the final page that said, "Go to beginning of next file." But the Universal table of contents, showing all sections of all files, remained in the bookmark pane at all times. The procedure is rather long, so I'd rather direct you to the archives than post it here. A problem similar to yours appeared recently (on or about November 19): >I looked at PDFLib, which doesn't support Web-link bookmarks, >and PJ and PjScript. I could implement the routines using PJ's low level >API, but I would prefer to use a higher-level API if one is available. >Do you know of such a toolkit which I can use ?

Leonard Rosenthol (leonardr@digapp.com) offered this solution: You want AppendPDF or AppendPDF Pro from Digital Applications (). They are command line applications which will happily merge/append PDF documents together maintain existing books and/or adding new ones. If you want an actual toolkit or library to do this, Digital Applications also provides their SPDF library, which is the toolkit/library on which their product are based. It can be licensed either in binary or source. QUESTION 4: Our documentation department uses the same solution that Jeanie Shoemaker described ("We create a main menu in Frame that holds links to all our manuals and create a PDF from it. Using pdfmark commands, the links are set up in Frame and are generated with the PDF." It works fine on our CD-ROMs and on our intranet.")

I think this may have to do with the difference between Mac and PC paths. The pc uses \backslashes and the Mac uses :colons to delineate hierarchial levels. I had to resave the files on the Mac to get them to work. So on the hybrid discs I had two separate files on each volume. regards *** dean laffan real world productions melbourne, australia ph +613-9419-3966 Mobile - 0418-525-315 It said on the box: 'Requires Windows 95 or better' ... so I bought a Mac !

We had a couple of good ones today. I received two PDF files today, via email. By default, they were opened on a Mac (running system 9.0.4 with 384mb RAM, with Adobe InProduction and 120 mb RAM allocated to it) and I received two error messages that I have never seen before: First file: The page started to display, showed a page dimension of 8.54" x 11.04". Message appears: "An unrecognized token 'I7' was found." (click ok) Message appears: "There were several parsing errors on this page." (click ok) The page goes to white. I fit the page to window, deleted what appeared to be a white box, the page dimension changes to 12.6" x 18.31" and some elements display. I "undeleted" the "white" box and the brown page background reappeared. The page didn't scale, it was just the artwork in the middle of a much bigger page. Very bizzare. But wait, there's more... Second file: Opened on the same system as above. Page starts to display, message appears: "There was an error processing a page. Too few operands." The page goes blank. I end up with a document with two blank pages. Here's the twist--the second file was opened on a PC running windows NT4, with Acrobat full version (no InProduction)and gave the same "...Too few operands" error. Both files opened on a PC running windows 2000 and the same level of Acrobat as the other PC and no errors on either one, they both printed fine. I don't know what it all means yet, but you have to admit, this is interesting stuff. Anyone have similar experiences? solutions? ideas? You can't make this stuff up. Becky Shick Desktop Manager L.

I had exactly the same problem last week with a Quicktime. I created a PDF which played a looping QT on page open, the movie file was one level down from the pdf file it played in. It was working fine on the PC. When I transferred the files to the Mac to check them, it would error saying can't find the movie and ask me to search for the movie file. Once I pointed it to the movie and resaved the file on the Mac it worked fine. If I took it back to the PC the movie would error over there. This indicates to me that something is going on with paths. Fortunately I only had 1 PDF file with a movie and only about 20Mb of PDF's in total, so it was a no brainer to set up different files on the hybrid disc, obviously there are many scenarios where this would be impossible or impractical. So I got around it, but didn't solve it. I am using 4.05 on both Mac and PC. Anyone have any further ideas on this ? regards *** dean laffan real world productions melbourne, australia ph +613-9419-3966 Mobile - 0418-525-315 It said on the box: 'Requires Windows 95 or better' ... so I bought a Mac !

Your options are limited if you are unable to develope the application yourself. Options 1. Buy the Adobe Developers Kit and create an add on or API with a database on the CD. 2. There are plug-ins available and other software packages that do this. We have used this with great and poor success. IMR has an application, but their support is poor and pray for no bugs in the final CD. 3. Contact an outside company that creates these types of CD's and already has done the development. I rarely ever publicize our company on this list, but we can offer option three. I hope this is helpful.

Bookmarks are simply a UI element (mostly) that have actions attached to them - these actions can be (and in most cases are) "Go To Page" actions, BUT they could just as easily be anything from playing a movie to running a JavaScript. >First: If I get an active PDDoc by function "AVDocGetPDDoc" and its page >number, how can I get the corresponding bookmark index/ID?

Bookmarks are arranged in a tree. You walk the tree by walking all the children of the root, and their children, and so forth, recursively. Each bookmark has an action associated with it. Although bookmarks usually have the action of going to a page in the current document, they could have any action, like open a URL or execute a JavaScript. After calling PDPageGetAction, you have to examine the PDAction to find out what type, if it is relevant, and if it is relevant, get the destination.

Assuming that your system writes out the objects as vector specifications (draw line, draw path, etc.) with color operators, than this is correct. PDF 1.3 (the current version of PDF supported by Acrobat 4.x) does not support transparency - HOWEVER PDF 1.4, which is only supported by Adobe Illustrator 9 and some 3rd party PDF applications, does support transparency. >Is there a way to get PDFs with semi-transparent colors? > You can either generate PDF 1.4 documents, and hope that your customers can take advantage of them, OR you will need to convert all transparent areas into raster/bitmap images.

(but in some apps, like CorelDraw, you have to 'set' the fill of these bitmaps to 'clear' in order for the transparency to come through). Multiple layering is supported by this method too. Because the compression for b&w is very high and lossless, you can achieve very good detail and printouts and still get PDF's of a manageable size. I suggest for most purposes, a rez. of 200-300 dpi. Hope that helps. -Bob Roach Receive the latest PDF News in your Inbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21-Dec-2000 21:53:10-GMT,2006;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by sunshine.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA01431 for ; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 14:53:09 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA06146; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 15:44:52 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 21 Dec 2000 15:39:28 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA05789; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 15:39:27 -0600 Received: from bird2.de.uu.net (bird2.de.uu.net [193.101.111.28]) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA05785 for ; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 15:39:25 -0600 Received: from schuitz.com (pec-118-85.tnt9.me2.uunet.de [149.225.118.85]) by bird2.de.uu.net (5.5.5/5.5.5) with ESMTP id WAA14895 for ; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 22:39:24 +0100 (MET) Message-ID: <3A42788A.15C37536@schuitz.com> Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 22:39:22 +0100 From: Schuitz Grafik Design X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [de]C-CCK-MCD DT (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: de MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] How to export bookmarklists to ASCII?

Unless they are opening the PDF files, somehow copying the images OUT of the PDF file, editing the images, and then pasting the new images into a PDF file, you "gut instinct" is wrong - simply openeing a PDF file and editing it will not "recompress" the images differently - in fact, you can open and close a JPEG file in Photoshop hundreds of times without any degradation - it simply writes it back to file the same way - now, even if you do some cloning in an small area, Photoshop will NOT RESAMPLE/RE-JPEG the entire image - the only case where SERIOUS repeated open/edit/close degradation will occur is when you crop an image, as it has to re-tile the entire image - and this is Photoshop, not Acrobat - even if you recrop the PDF, and even if a crop corner is in the middle of one of the images, when you save, Acrobat will NOT resample or re-JPEG the image. > >Right now my recommendation to my peers is to compress using Zip or no >compression at all to perserve image quality. This is a different issue - any amount of JPEG will degrade any image - even Maximum quality will "toss" image data which cannot be recovered - however - when i worked for a printing company, we did a series of tests with customer files - we created PDF files with all the level of JPEG compression available and printed each on press and laid them side by side. 100% of the time they selected the samples that had Maximum Quality compression applied to them, and we were totally suprised - they selected this OVER no compression - we then discovered that the very small amount of JPEG artifacts arond the contrasty areas of the images were percieved as USM (Un Sharp Masking) and the customers seemd to feel this was "better" than the less "sharp" example (the examples with no compression) so, in this study, our customers liked the Maximum Quality setting compression better than ZIP or No compression. > >Please donate your two cents on this issue.

What are some of your experiences with compression and >PDF's? when they also discovered that there was a minimum of a 10 to one file size difference, well, that sealed the deal (remote transmission cost issue) - Max Quality compression was what they selected - Black and white images seemed to be even more forgiving, so we select High Quality for this - this was JC Penney type work too - fashion, fabrics - what can i say, the customer is ALWAYS right, even when you have to figure out why.

Have your client ZIP their files, and they should come in OK. --------- I would attack this problem on two fronts, each involving Acrobat Distiller: 1. Many email systems have problems passing large files. Some can reliably pass files as large as several megabytes; others cannot handle files larger than about 500K without corrupting them. If Max is correct--that the email system is at fault--I would suggest a different route: Ask the person who created the PDF file to Open Distiller > Job Options >General, and select the ASCII Format checkbox, then redistill the original postscript file. The resulting PDF file will be, on average 20 percent larger; text-heavy files add more overhead than graphics. But this file will be far more likely to survive an email system intact. If the creator has invested a good amount of time postprocessing the file in Acrobat Exchange, s/he will be to preserve these features by creating a new PostScript file without links and bookmarks, then replace all the original file's pages, performing what I call a whole body transplant. I'm not sure this would be wise, however; I'd want the links, bookmarks, thumbnails, and so on to be ASCII-encoded as well. The creator can still follow Max's advice as well and ZIP the new file, to save upload and download time. But if the goal is simply to get the file from A to B intact, ASCII encoding alone may well do the trick. 2. In the Distiller printer driver, have the creator select the Postscript tab and make sure the PostScript output format is set to PostScript (optimize for portability - ADSC). Many people are unaware that their PostScript is still set at the default setting, "optimize for speed." Paul Franklin Stregevsky, Technical Writer NEC America, Inc.

OK, so what's the problem? You start at the root of the bookmark tree and then walk it going through children, siblings, etc. Do you understand what this means? >I have try to read all >bookmark tree but there is no insight to get corresponding pages Sure there is - just like both Aandi and I described it! Once you have the PDBookmark, you get it's PDAction, which can then tell you the Subtype, which if it's a GoTo has a page number associated with it. Have you read the PDF specification yet to understand how this stuff gets into a PDF document? Have you opened up a PDF and looked inside it?

What makes me wonder is: - InDesign 1.5 creates transparent colors even if I generate the PDF with the Distiller Printer (win2k). - A tool named "O.R.I.S. page" which I downloaded (www.cgs.com) as demo yesterday, lets me open the PDF with the opaque colors, pick the relevant object and define a transparency between 0 (nothing) and 100 (opaque) percent. So, it obviously _can_ be done whether by hand (which is no choice for our customers) or using the distiller 4.0 (win2k) printer driver. There must be a way to communicate with the driver and tell him to do things transparent --- but maybe only for the staff of ADOBE ... ;-) Again, thanks and merry X-mas, Franz-Josef --- "Outside of a dog, a book is a men's best friend.

I've read the rather lengthy instructions given for this at the Adobe site...well, I'm wondering if anyone can break it down into easy to follow steps for those of us who are PC challenged. Here's what we need: 1. PC formatted CD's 2. PDF's will be version 4 (hotlinks, etc.) 3. Doubleclicking the PDF on the CD should result in Acrobat Reader launching directly from the CD, no matter how the user's computer is set up. Anyone have this process down, willing to share their simplified instructions? Thanks a million.

I don't usually like to be definite, but this is one case where I can be sure that the PDF specification does not include semi-transparency. Believe what you have been told. What you may be seeing is one of the following: 1. Producing a result which pre-mixes the colours so as to give the illusion of transparency. You have been able to do this in Photoshop for years. Transparent when designing, but fixed once saved. 2. If it is for screen only, a plug-in could in theory mix colours that are already in the frame buffer. Tricks, in other words. Tricks may be good enough!

Typical situation: User has Reader 3 installed on his or her computer. We send them the CD and they double-click the PDF(s) and Reader launches on the CD, displaying the PDF(s)...nothing gets installed, and their own Reader 3 doesn't jump in and mess things up.

HOWEVER, your web browser may cache files (you've already investigated that) and some ISPs actually cache web sites, pages, and files. One would hope that such cacheing would be intelligent enough to validate differences in file attributes such that purge and refresh would occur correctly. Another possibility is that the host of your web site has multiple servers responding to web page and file requests and that it takes some time for them to be fully in synchronization with the latest copy of content that you push out to your official web site location. Check with your ISP and/or web host for more detailed information. - Dov At 12/24/2000 06:14 PM, HIWATASHI, HELIO (MED,ID TKY JP ) wrote: >We've been updating several pdf files on the web and sometimes when we >download a file, the older revision of this pdf is displayed. >Does anyone knows why it occurs even cleaning the temporary files of browser >(IE)? >Do Acrobat (4.06) or Reader have a internal cache control?

(You are starting from paper..) To convert MS Word, RTF, WordPerfect, etc. or any kind of electronic file to PDF you have to use either PDF Writer (the easiest one..) or Acrobat Distiller. PDF Writer is a printer driver that comes with the full version of Acrobat (by now, 4.0). Just do "print to PDF Writer" from any aplication and you'll get a PDF file. You don't need to do "Image + text" PDF's but "normal" PDF's. (That is, completely electronic text). If you wish, you may embed the original fonts. After converting the docs to PDF, they'll be as searcheable (probably more) than the others (Image + text). If you want to search them ALL at once, build an index using Catalog (included in Acrobat 4.0 also) Carlos >I am presently using Adobe Capture 2.01 to convert paper documents to searchable documents using Acrobat PDF (Image + Hidden Text).

Correct? For example, insurance documents (with images) would most likely use "Image" PDF's rather than "Normal" PDFs because the need for exact replication of the document is important in order to comply with state filings. My point is to be careful on selecting "Image + text" or "Normal" PDF formats.

(You are starting from paper..) To convert MS Word, RTF, WordPerfect, etc. or any kind of electronic file to PDF you have to use either PDF Writer (the easiest one..) or Acrobat Distiller. PDF Writer is a printer driver that comes with the full version of Acrobat (by now, 4.0). Just do "print to PDF Writer" from any aplication and you'll get a PDF file. You don't need to do "Image + text" PDF's but "normal" PDF's. (That is, completely electronic text). If you wish, you may embed the original fonts. After converting the docs to PDF, they'll be as searcheable (probably more) than the others (Image + text).

When I say: > You don't need to do "Image + text" PDF's but "normal" PDF's. (That is, > completely electronic text). If you wish, you may embed the original fonts. > > After converting the docs to PDF, they'll be as searcheable (probably more) > than the others (Image + text). I'm referring to originally electronic docs exclusively, and not to originally paper docs. I would not give advice in that sense. Of course when you start with paper docs, you have to do a couple of elections. One of them is to choose between "Image+hidden text" vs "Normal", depending, as you say, on the tipe of job but, when you start with electronic docs, there's not text to hide. ... and the question, if well understood, refers exclusively to electronic files (Wordperfect, RTF, MS Word, etc) I hope it's clearer now. Carlos. > The discussion about "Image + text" PDF's or "normal" PDF's would depend on how > important exact replication is to the user. Correct? For example, insurance > documents (with images) would most likely use "Image" PDF's rather than "Normal" > PDFs because the need for exact replication of the document is important in > order to comply with state filings.

When I say: > You don't need to do "Image + text" PDF's but "normal" PDF's. (That is, > completely electronic text). If you wish, you may embed the original fonts. > > After converting the docs to PDF, they'll be as searcheable (probably more) > than the others (Image + text). I'm referring to originally electronic docs exclusively, and not to originally paper docs. I would not give advice in that sense. Of course when you start with paper docs, you have to do a couple of elections. One of them is to choose between "Image+hidden text" vs "Normal", depending, as you say, on the tipe of job but, when you start with electronic docs, there's not text to hide. ... and the question, if well understood, refers exclusively to electronic files (Wordperfect, RTF, MS Word, etc) I hope it's clearer now. Carlos. > The discussion about "Image + text" PDF's or "normal" PDF's would depend on how > important exact replication is to the user. Correct? For example, insurance > documents (with images) would most likely use "Image" PDF's rather than "Normal" > PDFs because the need for exact replication of the document is important in > order to comply with state filings. My point is to be careful on selecting > "Image + text" or "Normal" PDF formats. > The reason you are using Capture is because your are converting "images" to > PDF format. (You are starting from paper..) Orig. question >I have thousands of files in WordPerfrct, MS Word >and in RTF >(Rich Test Format) that I would like to convert to the same (Acrobat PDF >(Image + Hidden Text)) format, or at least in a searchable form that is >compatable with Acrobat PDF (Image + Hidden Text).

Occasionally, I've had to rotate pages (but I've had to do this with FrameMaker and Word too, so they all equally bother me). Paul +++++ C. Scott Miller wrote: I don't own AutoCad.

You can export postscript files from AutoCAD. The postscript files can be distilled. Unless there is a reliable batch conversion utility to convert dwg to postscript, each drawing will have to be opened and exported separately. Hijaak Pro is capable of batch conversions like this but I have had inconsistent results with it. "C.

One is curves, where the CAD world uses a different mathematical model than the illustration world (including PostScript and PDF). This means that it is not guaranteed that curves can be represented at the needed precision. However, this difference in the mathematical model for curves becomes purely academic when the output module is involved. CAD drawings are essentially set up for outputting on vector devices (plotters). With some few exceptions, plotters do not know how to draw curves (if they do, the driver must also know about that). Instead of curves, the printer/plotter driver produces a polygon. As far as I have seen, all the PostScript drivers will create polygons. The consequence is that instead of a curve path with a few ponts, you will get a polygon path with several hundred lines. The resulting PDF will then display very sluggishly, something which can become annoying in a complex drawing, such as explosion drawings. When bad comes to worse, it imay even be that those line elements are not even connected, but just individual very short straight lines. The next issue is very often that text is not represented as text, but as a bunch of lines, which happen to look like letters and numbers. The resulting PDF is then definitely not searchable, for example. So, getting CAD drawings to PDF is not necessarily as easy as it appears. So far, I have not heard of any converter which takes properly care of the above issues (but I will more than happy to hear that there are tools out there which have addressed the problems).

Alternately, we have also had very good success merely by a copy / paste directly into Adobe Illustrator.(Note: You have to have your background set as white in Autocad to do this. Colors and everything imports directly.) Once in Illustrator, you can then convert the drawing into a PDF or whatever format is desired. By doing this, it has been my experience that I can manipulate drawing, as required for documents that we make, very quickly. Addressing the situation that Max pointed out, where Autocad is vector driven, you can export the original drawing file as a Autocad R14 DXF file, which you can open in Illustrator. (Illustrator can convert these DXF files.) The text directly imports as text, the circles also are circles, lines, and the like, can easily be modified as desired. From here the drawing then can be directly saved as a PDF. You may loose some items during the conversion, pending how the drawing was made, but it does work well for the most part. Hope this is helpful information and enjoy the holidays!

You say that with copy/paste, circles come in as circles. Well, circles are almost never the problem. Even closed ellipses are not.

When opening the dwg you get the option of merging layers or not, and uniting separate paths. Uniting paths will connect all those pesky segments but you still have a zillion points on the path.

I assume this is because it doesn't recognize the font or characters. Can anybody give me some guidance on how to convert these old manuscripts to PDF so that they are text-searchable? I also would like to create a Catalog for many manuscripts that is also searchable.

But Paper Capture will >require clear, clean printing in a supported language. I've >never heard of OCR for Latin or ancient Greek, and if they >are handwritten, there is no chance at all. Are you, in fact, dealing with handwritten manuscripts (or facsimiles thereof) or printed renditions of manuscripts? If the latter, see the response to a question similar to yours from the list, LEXI. I suggest you subscribe to that list, where you will find scholars dealing with your problem. You might want to contact Prof. Kraft directly. Also try http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/tllHome.html or http://www.hnet.uci.edu/classics/ or http://www.hnet.uci.edu/classics/ or http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/classicsDept/resources.html If you are dealing with handwritten manuscripts, the problem is more difficult. Have the manuscripts been edited and published? That is, could you scan an image of the manuscript and the text for searching from a printed source?

I think they may both still be around, but I haven't been keeping up. Check for internet addresses?

What you could do instead is use the getURL() method with the mailto: parameter. Also, it could be that your standard installation on the test machine is not complete, or up-to-date, whereas when you run Reader from the CD, you have an updated version. Hope, this can help.

We have installed Acrobat Reader version 4.05b. We have created a Handbook that contains links to several PDF that have mailto FDF enabled. (To submit time off requests, time cards, etc...) However, when the handbook is opened in the acrobat reader (not in a browser) format, when the user clicks on the submit (mailto) button, the following message appears: "You need to be running inside a web browser in order to submit this form" So we have opened the pdf in the browser and when we click the submit, the status bar has a message, "contacting host: [hostname]" for about 3 seconds....and then nothing. best case solution: How do I get the PDF, when open in Acrobat Reader (not browser) to trigger the email message with the submit (mailto:) button. We'll take what we can get solution: We will open up the PDF in a browser and have the mailto trigger the email to open. Not ever going to happen solution: Installing the full Acrobat PDF creator on the Server. All suggestions are appreciated, Thank you and Happy New Year, -- Jim Merante Utility Trailer Mfg.

Actually, in my case. the application also allows for selection of full screen or Acrobat control versions of the same PDFs. I successfully create MAC and PC versions of the Director projectors. There are some other issues. You must have licenses for Director for PC and MAC (expensive) and you must make sure that you close the Director projector after opening Acrobat (memory). There are Director Xtras which give you more control but I haven't use these myself. >Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 11:02:17 -0000 >From: "Aandi Inston" >Subject: RE: [PDF] PDF/Acrobat on CD for PC > >The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com >__________________________________________________________________ > > >> The problem is that we don't want anything to be installed on any >> computer.

However, you could use the getURL() JavaScript method with the mailto: parameter instead. This will open the browser _ besides_ Acrobat (Reader), which will then open the mail client which has been specified in the browser. Depending on the parameters your mail client can handle, you can pass more than just the To value. Hope, this can help.

When you have control over the source documents, you can do that already there, if you have only PDFs, you would use a production plug-in to do this. A production plug-in is normally custom made or customized. A good source for such plug-ins is Marc Véron (http://www.veron.ch), who has years of experience with PDF based catalogs. Hope, this can help.

Catalog/Search are based on indexing words, not character strings. By selecting "include numbers" you just say that numbers are to be treated as words. But there is no option to run words together e.g. to treat ab acus and abacus as equivalent.

Leonard, I agree with you. Distiller is supossed to do ONLY certain things. But the reality is that it does others. I find Distiller a tricky device, that doesn't always do what you need and sometimes, does other things it is not supossed to. By the way, when I drop a file on top of the icon (Acrobat 4) or into the Acrobat window, I get a msgbox "Error opening. Acrobat does not start by %PDF". I know is supossed to work that way but my private reality is it doesn't. I don't know why, but it doesn't. This is why sometimes a non "orthodox" workaround is desirable (mostly if it works). Well, however this is done, it belongs to the last century. Let's hope Adobe brings us a huge wish list in the form of Acrobat 5.0 ...and Marti, I don't monitor the list 24/7. I do it 25/7 because it's the place where real experts like George, Leonard, Aandi, Max, Bryan, Duff, Jason, Roberto, Steve, (forgive me the forgotten ones) and others, share with us knowledge, patience, and from time to time, secrets. Thanks to all. You did so much...! I wish you (and all the list) have a wonderful start for 2001 (and better revenues for the year.. ;¬) Carlos.

Acrobat (on Windows only!) supports a feature called "Open All" that lets you drop certain types of files (text, images, MSOffice, etc.) into it and it will then "do what it can" to convert them to PDF. This features is even noted in the Read Me document for Acrobat 4 (it didn't make the manual).

Instead you do a two stage process. 1. Use the Distiller printer driver, but make it print to a file instead of the PDF Port. This is nothing to do with Acrobat - you use the Windows API or your application environment to print to file. 2. Run Distiller yourself, by command line or OLE (according to your preference) to make it read the PostScript file you created, and save it to the location of your choice.

I guess, the second part with OLE will be fine, I found the method. However, I still need some more help - it might be trivial, but what is the easiest way to pre-set the 'print to file' value? Where to look for it?

Instead you do a two stage process. 1. Use the Distiller printer driver, but make it print to a file instead of the PDF Port. This is nothing to do with Acrobat - you use the Windows API or your application environment to print to file. 2. Run Distiller yourself, by command line or OLE (according to your preference) to make it read the PostScript file you created, and save it to the location of your choice.
