General It is possible to define arbitrarily named info fields for PDFs. However, it's not possible to add those to existing PDF files. Indeed, they are not even visible in Exchange nor Reader, as Aandi Inston already pointed out. So what the heck are they good for? Stay tuned: customized info fields are quite useful for searching (see below). Note that you can only define _new_ info fields, but you can't change the names of existing fields. Generating customized info fields In order to create customized info fields you must make use of the pdfmark operator. The spec says that arbitrary names are allowed. Therefore you might use the following idiom (using the policy fields from of the original post as an example): [ /Title (pdfmark secrets) /Author (Thomas Merz) /Subject (Customized info fields) /Keywords (Acrobat PDF info search pdfmark) /policy_number (0123456789) /policy_holder (John Doe) /DOCINFO pdfmark The first four entries are standard info fields as documented in TechNote 5150. The policy_...-fields are two customized fields. Note that while technically it may be possible to use spaces in the field names, this complicates generation (convert PostScript strings to names) as well as usage. Therefore I use recommend avoiding space characters and use underscores instead. The values of these fields must be strings. For large projects it might be worthwhile contemplating a suitable naming scheme for the new fields, for example unique organization prefix. Using customized info fields The only way to take advantage of your fields is to use them in index queries. (I suspect the Acrobat SDK offers direct access to the fields and field display in Exchange or Reader via a plugin, but I don't have any info on that. Input anyone?). To make the fields appear in an index file generated with Catalog, you first have to tell Catalog about the field names. On the Mac, choose Edit, Preferences, Fields. Define the new fields and the appropriate type: string, integer, or date. In Windows, edit acrocat.ini, locate the [Fields] section and add one line for each new field, for example: Field0=policy_number,int Field1=policy_holder,str Now restart Catalog and build your index, using files distilled with the pdfmarks outlined above. To use the field in a query, ask for "fieldname = value" in the query dialog box. Example: policy_holder = "John Doe" You may also use advanced query operators, for example the "contains" operator ~: policy_holder ~ John If anybody has insights on other methods for generating or using customized info fields, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Stephen, Our "PagePrint" plug-in will print a single copy of the currently displayed page within Acrobat. The "Print" dialog is not displayed but the "Cancel" dialog is displayed briefly. Using Acrobat 3 it is possible to write a plug-in that will print a page or page range and not display the "Cancel" or "Print" dialogs.

The problem is that many pdfmark applications can only be realized by thoroughly reading the PDF (not pdfmark) specification. Additionally, several PDF/pdfmark operators are not documented at all. This is the case for the "<< link" example. Watch out for my own pdfmark manual with many examples which will be freely available in a couple of weeks.

At present the kiosk uses a Macromedia Director front-end interface, with .PDF files of content to print. The printing process works (although its slow) but my problem is that Acrobat insists on drawing the printing dialogue box over the Director Application, resulting in an unsightly grey box appearing on screen each time the print option is selected, and the option to 'cancel' the print within Acrobat. The ability to cancel poses a big problem, as the kiosk requires payment for the prints, and this is controlled via Director and another external app. If anybody has any ideas about how to suppress Acrobat's print dialogue boxes I would be grateful for your advice. if there is a ready-made solution that would be even better.

One way to use info fields could be to add a language field to a document. The plug-in (e.g. ordering system) then could display dialogs in the language of the active document.

When you have the source file for the PDF document available, you can place an EPS file containing the appropriate /Docinfo PDFMARK command on your document (if you use Framemaker, you can include that command in a text flow you mark as "PostScript"; no EPS needed. The syntax for the /Docinfo PDFMARK command can be found in section 4.7 in the PDFMARK Reference Manual (Adobe Tech Note 5150). The /Docinfo PDFMARK command allows to add "private" information fields. If you don't have the source document available, you can either write a plug-in which allows to change the Docinfo, or you hack the PDF file in a text editor (such as BBEdit). Appropriate care must be taken in the second case... Hope, this can help.

The problem I had was mostly with BMP images that were displaying and printing in monochrome when the source files were color in the FrameMaker file. In Photoshop, I switched the mode from RGB to Indexed Color (8-bit/Adaptive) and that cured the problem. There is some apparent palette mismatch in certain kinds of color graphics (BMP in my case), and switching to a custom 256-color adaptive palette (colors derived from the file itself) seems to correct the problem.

Each file is composed of 5-20 or so A4 pages, mostly text with some images. We're adding to this archive at the rate of about 100Mb per week, and we'd like to set up a full-text search facility across the PDFs in the archive. We'll need up to 200 different indexes to cover all our requirements, and will have to start indexing from scratch. Does anyone have any recommendations for search engine and indexing software for PDF archives of this type and size? Is Verity's product, from your experiences, ideal for our application? What other options are there? Any experiences, advice or words of caution would be appreciated. Tech stuff: The whole archive is maintained on a Sparcstation server running SunOS 5.5.1, and all PDFs are Acrobat 2.1 compatible.

We're doing very good experiences with IIS Index Server. Since 3.0 version, Adobe has published its own filter to be used to index PDF files' text. Now we're trying IIS 4.0 Beta in which the PDF support for the Index Server is native. It runs very very fast at search level, aven if requiring a good NT system to run with. It gives option like abstract over the searched text in restrict and extended format. Try it for free asking Micro$oft the IIS 4 Beta CD.

If you are already an Oracle shop, you naturally consider ConText. If you are an Informix shop, you should look at their Verity and Excalibur Datablades. All of these vendors profess to be ready to handle terabyte size collections. Note that indexes of collections can be up to 50% of the size of the collection, requiring fastest possible access/storage. All of these vendors offer UNIX software, which usually means they run on Sun. All of them are running on NT, too. To handle huge collections X huge numbers of users, all of these vendors pledge allegiance to scalable, multi-processor environments. I'm not clear on what you mean here: ">We'll need up to 200 different indexes to cover all our > requirements, and will have to start indexing from scratch." Do you mean 200 Index Fields? Like in an RDBMS? As is often discussed on this list, PDF files can have huge numbers of custom fields themselves. Given an educated user population who knows about the fields, many text search engines can FIND combos like "FIELDNAME (contains) Query Term". On the other hand, if you want to generate reports or sub-pubs based on Index Values, you probably need a RDBMS plus search capability. The key decision is always based on what your future users need to do with your collections, and the idea is to make their experience as efficient and enjoyable as possible. The major search engines each have their own idiosyncratic strengths. For example, Verity's Intelliserve is a cool push engine that you can try out for free; Excalibur's combination of Semantic Networks and Adapative Pattern Recognition offers the golden road to No Clean-up in scanning and recognition jobs (we can dream); Fulcrum and Open Text offer their own wonderous highlights. Words of CAUTION: just talk to people who are doing what you want to do. Adobe's site contains links to all these guys. Hope this helps.

It includes both the FPO and the OPI pointers (if you configure it to record OPI). >2. Does OPI via PDFs require Level 3 to work?

I'm hoping someone out there can explain. It concerns the 'Find' function of Viewer 3.0. We converted some statements for a client. They were testing them and were unable to perform certain finds. I verified their results and extended them. The tests I conducted: * account numbers in the format 'nnn-nnnnn' A search on a full account number (e.g., '123-45678') results in nothing found. A search on the account number w/o the hyphen (e.g., '12345678') results in a successful find. A search on the account number w/ a blank instead of the hyphen (e.g., '123 45678') results in nothing found. * telephone numbers in the format '(1-800-nnn-nnnn)' A search on the full string (e.g., '(1-800-nnn-nnnn)') results in nothing found. A search on just the numerics (e.g., '1800nnnnnnn') results in a successful find. A search on the numerics and the parens (e.g., '(1800nnnnnnn)') results in nothing found. A search on the numerics and the hyphens (e.g., '1-800-nnn-nnnn') results in nothing found. Note: These results were consistent when the number was in the format: '1-800-XXX-XXXX' (i.e., letters instead of numbers). A search on the letter fragments of the phone number (e.g., 'XXX-XXXX) resulted in nothing found. A search on the letter fragments of the phone number w/o the hyphen (e.g., XXXXXXX) resulted in a successful find. * dates in the format 'mm/dd/yy' A search on a date (e.g., '05/01/97') results in a successful find. A search on just the numerics (e.g., '050197') results in nothing found. * hyphens in running text - As another test case, the text 'STATEMENT - SEE' occurred in the statements. A search on 'STATEMENT - SEE' results in a successful find. A search on 'STATEMENT SEE' results in nothing found. A search on 'STATEMENTSEE' results in nothing found. Note: these results seem to contradict the results from the phone number case above. What are the parsing rules used by the 'Find' function? What does it ignore and what does it include?

In many documents I have, an em-dash is used instead of a hyphen; for example, a date might be shown as 8-28-97, where the "-" are really em-dash characters. In such a case, FIND will locate "8 28", but not "828". There are probably other kinds of things that look very much like hyphens but have different character codings. Another possibility: Are you sure you're FINDing from the beginning of the document in each of your test cases? There's a FIND bug that I reported when 3.0 first came out and that still hasn't been fixed in 3.01. i.e.: The FIND command will always start looking for the search string from the last point in the document where a match was found. In order to force FIND to start at the current page, you have to click on that page. For example, find a string someplace other than on page 1 of a document (let's say it's found on page 5). Then, press Home to go to page 1. Then, press F3, to Find again, and you'll see that the next match is somewhere after the first match on page 5 (in this example). Now, press Home, click anywhere in the text of page 1, and press F3. Notice that Find will now correctly locate the first match on page 5. It's a mystery why Adobe can't squash these kind of bugs, which were introduced with Version 3, by the way -- these same things worked fine in Version 2.1! It really highlights the weaknesses of their QA and end-user testing process. As long as I'm on a rant about this, let me also point out that the dialog box that's displayed when no match is found should have "Yes" and "No" buttons, not "OK" and "Cancel". Again, it was correct in 2.1, so who changed it (and why) ? Good luck!

Why complain - only Microsoft has a larger QA department ;-) To hyphe or not to hyphe ... ... here goes my guess about hyphens: Documents being converted from PostScript to PDF through Distiller lack one important characteristic: content structure. Distiller tries to re-establish some of the content structure, e.g. you are usually able to select contiguous seuqences of characters that reside on the same line though these characters may have been created by non-contiguous PostScript coding. Given that in a PDF document we have reasonable sequences of characters line by line, we may be able to isolate words (which looking at the original PostScript code may not always have a space char inbetween but simply happen to have some distance inbetween), at least Acrobat seems to achieve this. Next problem: some words span across lines - because they had been hyphenated. Now when using the FIND command you'd also like to find those words that had been hyphenated somehow. Nevertheless there is no difference between a character representing a hyphen-hyphen or a minus sign or a hyphen-inbetween-two-words-or-numbers. I guess that in order to be able to do anything intuitive at all when it comes to FINDing words Adobe's engineers have decided to completely disregard hyphens (unless they happen to be surrounded by space chars or happen to be an en-dash or em-dash in which case they aren't hyphens anymore anyway).

Thanks, Chris! However, we've run into a problem that Chris did not experience and I'm hoping someone out there can shed some light on! We have 105 pdf files. We cataloged and indexed all 105 files. Then we have divided those files into groups to fit on 3 different CDs. In DocInfo, we gave each file a title that indicated on which CD it was located (e.g. Section 4 (CD-1), Appendix 3 (CD-2), etc.). In our TOC.pdf document, we have a "divider" bookmark which tells the viewer that items listed below are located in CD XX. If they have CD1 installed and they click in the TOC intself on a section that is located in CD2, they get an error message that says the file isn't available - That's okay, because once they put in CD-2, the link will work. We can document these procedures for them. We've copied the following onto the 3 CDs: CD-1 CD-2 CD-2 index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) Intro.pdf Intro.pdf Intro.pdf TOC.pdf. TOC.pdf. TOC.pdf. Files 1-33 (for example) Files 34-65 (for example) Files 66-105 (for example) Now here's the problem: If you have CD-1 in, and you do a search of the database, the full search results are shown and the titles (with CD-# location) are shown. You can double click on the titles of files that are located on CD-1 and they'll open. If you click on a file that is located on CD-2, you get a message box that says the file can't be located, and at the bottom of the search box, the message "file # of # is unavailable". So, you put in CD-2 and click on the file name again, thinking that the file will now open! But, no, we get a DOS error message screen (you know, that real ugly, scary thing) that indicates that "CD-1, Serial #xxx" can't be found. (This seems similar to the message you get if you have a file open from a floppy in Drive A, take the floppy out, and then try to save or open another file.) So, at this point, the full index search seems pretty useless - and this is a show stopper for us! The PDF files are created on PCs running Win95 and Exchange 3.0, stored on a network drive. We connect to Netscribe (server based CD recording software/hardware) which runs on Win3.1. We burn the CDs, no problem reading them individually, no problem using TOC opened from any of the CDs and popping in the appropriate CD for the links in that document to work. It's just accessing the files from the search hit list that is hanging us up. I'd sure appreciate hearing from anyone who can help with this.

Also note that you will have problems if you try to go back through your document history list. These problems should be spelled out to your users in some documentation. As I mentioned in prior posts, I'm not aware of any pre-packaged solution that is completely hitch free. The other solutions mention at the time were a Windows-only solution from Alliant Tech Systems and another list member you had put some development time into a database approach. Sorry this is not as easy as it ought to be (are you listening Adobe).

Just finished a similar size project with 255 files with the readers for unix, mac and windows.....You need to have the Reader+Search....it's available on the adobe site right in the same area as the regular readers. Not sure why they just don't make one reader, unless it's because of download times. Search Reader is a little bigger but not much.....

This is probably a pretty amatuer-ish question, but I have just started using Acrobat and am having a couple of teensy problems. Any help (including direction to a help file that might answer this) would be greatly appreciated. In both cases, I am creating PDF's using Distiller 3.0. The files were created in Pagemaker 6.0 under Windows 95, and have been used without incident for printed material. 1) I have placed a large table in a document. This table uses Landscape orientation, while all other pages are portrait. The page displays properly, but I lose about 1 inch of the table near the right margin, despite the fact it is inside my page margins. Any ideas? 2) On some .TIF line drawings in the documents, the PDF shows a hairline around the graphic. The line does not show in the original Pagemaker document. When using Reader 3.01, this line sometimes prints, sometimes doesn't- and shows at some magnifications and not others. Thanks in advance for any help!

In the interim, I'm still need an explanation of the parsing rules used by the 'Find' function so I can pass them on to my client to explain the behaviour of 'our' PDF files. Tom - 1. Hyphens Yes, they are hyphens. The original file starts out life as an AFP file using EBCDIC hyphens (x'6D'); our transform software converts these to ASCII hyphens (x'2D'). I've verified this in the PDF files. I agree this might mean a find would miss a 'nnn-nnnnn' where the hyphen was an em-dash or an en-dash instead of a hyphen, but it doesn't explain why the search on 'nnnnnnnn' (i.e., without any dash character at all) finds the string. 2. Find Starting Point IMHO, I disagree that 'Find' resuming a search at the last position it found something is a 'bug'; I treat it as working as I would expect a reasonable find operation. However, in all the search cases detailed below, I continued to perform multiple finds on each case until I received the message "No occurrances of 'xxx' were found in the document." Olaf - 1. Continuity of content A good point. However, in these cases, I have reviewed both the input and a PostScript file written from the PDF files. In both cases the strings in question (account number and phone number) are retained as contiguous sequences. Again, although this might explain why the 'nnn-nnnnn' string is not found, it does not explain why the 'nnnnnnnn' string is found. 2. Word Hypenation This might apply if these searches were on words that had been broken across lines by a hyphenation routine. However, they aren't - they are contiguous character strings originally coded and maintained as contiguous character strings. As an example, from the PostScript written out from the PDF file, an account number appears as: 0 9 -9 0 140.4 17.7 Tm [(nnn-nnnnn)]TJ I look forward to any additional comments that might shed light on this question.

Please forgive me if I have broken some protocol. The problem is that until now we always insisted to our customers that they should copy our manuals in pdf from their CD to their hard disk. This had a terrific access speed advantage when dual speed CD-ROM drives were common place. Now, our manuals have grown and CD-ROMs have speeded up. 60Mb for our usual set of manuals. We feel that it is not fair of us to expect our customers to have to give up 60Mb of their hard drive, just to support one set of our manuals that accompany the product that my company sells. We used to provide an installer program from InstallShield, but now we would like to use a CD-ROM browser program, such as the one provided by DemoShield 5.2. The problem is that once the browser has been installed on the users hard disk, I cannot get the browser to start up the users Acrobat Reader and open a pdf file directly from the CD. A. We don't know where Acrobat Reader has been installed. B. We don't know what the allocated letter of the users CD drive is or where they have the CD located. I have asked DemoShield support for a solution but I still haven't heard anything from them. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem. I am not a programmer, and I am quite aware that something bespoke could be written to solve this one, but I can't believe that a group of experts such as yourselves won't have an answer to this problem. It can't be the first time that this request has been asked. We need to support users of the following platforms. i) Windows95 ii) Windows NT 4.0 iii) Windows 3.11 Apologies to Mac users but I have no facilities to support or test. Thanks in advance.

Don't think "applications". Think "documents". Using the ShellExecute call in a C program or sufficiently powerful macro language you simple say "Open filename.pdf". The system then takes care of how to run Acrobat Reader, what command line to use, and what to do if Reader is already running. As to finding the drive letter of the CDROM, that is more awkward. I would suggest something like: 1. Save the CDROM path when you install, preferably in the registry 2. When you want to access the data, try to open from that path. 3. If you get a file not found error, prompt for an alternative location.

September 1997 18:19 An: pdf@lists.emrg.com Betreff: [PDF] Multiple CDs, Again I have received terrific assistance from CMcMahon in developing our 3-CD package. Thanks, Chris! However, we've run into a problem that Chris = did not experience and I'm hoping someone out there can shed some light on! We have 105 pdf files. We cataloged and indexed all 105 files. Then we have divided those files into groups to fit on 3 different CDs. In DocInfo, we gave each file a title that indicated on which CD it was located (e.g. Section 4 (CD-1), Appendix 3 (CD-2), etc.). In our TOC.pdf document, we have a "divider" bookmark which tells the viewer that items listed below are located in CD XX. If they have CD1 installed and they click in the TOC intself on a section that is located in CD2, they get = an error message that says the file isn't available - That's okay, because once they put in CD-2, the link will work. We can document these procedures for them. We've copied the following onto the 3 CDs: CD-1 CD-2 CD-2 index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) index.pdx (index of all 105 documents) Intro.pdf Intro.pdf Intro.pdf TOC.pdf. TOC.pdf. TOC.pdf. Files 1-33 (for example) Files 34-65 (for example) Files 66-105 (for example) Now here's the problem: If you have CD-1 in, and you do a search of the database, the full = search results are shown and the titles (with CD-# location) are shown. You can double click on the titles of files that are located on CD-1 and they'll open. If you click on a file that is located on CD-2, you get a message box that says the file can't be located, and at the bottom of the search box, the message "file # of # is unavailable". So, you put in CD-2 and click on the file name again, thinking that the file will now open! = But, no, we get a DOS error message screen (you know, that real ugly, scary thing) that indicates that "CD-1, Serial #xxx" can't be found. (This = seems similar to the message you get if you have a file open from a floppy in Drive A, take the floppy out, and then try to save or open another = file.) So, at this point, the full index search seems pretty useless - and this = is a show stopper for us! The PDF files are created on PCs running Win95 and Exchange 3.0, stored = on a network drive. We connect to Netscribe (server based CD recording software/hardware) which runs on Win3.1. We burn the CDs, no problem reading them individually, no problem using TOC opened from any of the = CDs and popping in the appropriate CD for the links in that document to = work. It's just accessing the files from the search hit list that is hanging = us up. I'd sure appreciate hearing from anyone who can help with this.

I think it is due to the fact that the Acrobat engine treats the hyphen in the continuous text flow as the possibility to have found a text hyphenation, so the search of the entire word should give response.

Under Job Options->Advanced in the Distiller application there is a check-box marked "Preserve OPI comments". This is not selected by default, you must select it to create PDF. Of course, it will only do anything if the incoming PostScript includes OPI comments in the first place, but PostScript from most of the major desktop graphic arts applications does these days.

This would explain why a FIND with 'nnnnnnn' would find '123-4567'. Maybe Adobe engineers 'forgot' (possibly for some good reason?) to take skipping of hyphens into account for text entered into FIND command - this would explain why 'nnn-nnnn' would not find '123-4567' nor '1234567'. If I am right (maybe I am not because I am simply guessing) the rulke for your customers would be: always omit any hyphens that happen to be in the string to be searched.

Windows Explorer, you should be able to right-click and hit the print button. You should be able to kick back and let her rip. I have done it before, nothing close to 4500pages worth... I would imagine you should be able to sit back and keep filling the printer. The only problem I would forsee is if the files stay open once Acrobat prints them. I think they shut down individually. I would try about 5 to 10 as a test to make sure what happens. Otherwise you may throw your computer into a nasty crash. good luck. Scott M.

I've read that sending fonts as Type 42 fonts can improve the display quality of fonts under certain circumstances. Howeer, I experienced a consistant, bizarre problem when sending TrueType fonts as Type 42 under Win95: An additional slant is added to italicized text, so it becomes too slanted. This occurs only with TrueType fonts, and is not a problem when sending as outlines or bitmaps. Using printer drivers other than the Adobe/Distiller combo seems to have little effect. Has anyone else seen this problem? Can anyone provide a little insight about what is happening? Is it a bug that is being fixed, or is this the expected behavior?

The links and the pdf-files are perfectly OK when used on a mirrored collection on a fileserver. Sometimes it is possible to workaround the problem by using MSIE's "rightclick | Open in new window feature", but not always. Can anybody give a hint what may be wrong. I have seen a previous similar thread relating to "apache software", but this is not the case here. Some details: We have mirrored a hyperlinked pdf collection from a Banyan Fileservice to our IntraWeb (MSIIS 3.0). All endusers have Win95/MSIE 3.02/Acrobat Reader 3.0 The hyperlinks are created with Acrobat Exchange 2.1 (linktype: Open file) Most of the "bad" pdf files are created by printing from a Paradox 5.0 database using Distiller 2.1.

The problem is this: When creating a PDF document printed through PDFwriter the "white background" is transparent - it does not exist. When exactly the same document is printed through Distiller Assistant the background is no longer Transparent and is a "solid white box". Is there anyway to switch this off? A Distiller setting ? A Print Driver Setting? >From reading the documentation it would seem that Distil jobs can be controlled with a Header file. Is there a switch/string I could put in the header file which would switch this off?

Although it is true that some files can only be so small. We have reduced 500 meg files down to under 100 using several distills. There is no loss of quality, either. Also, Exchange 3.0's Optimize feature on save produces smaller file size. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My company has been using pdf for some time now, however this is the first time that we have had any need to ask questions of this group. Please forgive me if I have broken some protocol. The problem is that until now we always insisted to our customers that they should copy our manuals in pdf from their CD to their hard disk. This had a terrific access speed advantage when dual speed CD-ROM drives were common place. Now, our manuals have grown and CD-ROMs have speeded up. 60Mb for our usual set of manuals. We feel that it is not fair of us to expect our customers to have to give up 60Mb of their hard drive, just to support one set of our manuals that accompany the product that my company sells. We used to provide an installer program from InstallShield, but now we would like to use a CD-ROM browser program, such as the one provided by DemoShield 5.2. The problem is that once the browser has been installed on the users hard disk, I cannot get the browser to start up the users Acrobat Reader and open a pdf file directly from the CD. A. We don't know where Acrobat Reader has been installed. B. We don't know what the allocated letter of the users CD drive is or where they have the CD located. I have asked DemoShield support for a solution but I still haven't heard anything from them. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem. I am not a programmer, and I am quite aware that something bespoke could be written to solve this one, but I can't believe that a group of experts such as yourselves won't have an answer to this problem. It can't be the first time that this request has been asked. We need to support users of the following platforms. i) Windows95 ii) Windows NT 4.0 iii) Windows 3.11 Apologies to Mac users but I have no facilities to support or test. Thanks in advance.

Often it is off by two words!?! example: Search for the word "this". on page 2 of a document all highlights are of the word "this". But on page 4 all highlights are of other words about two words in front of the occurrence of the word "this". On Page 5. some highlights show "this" and others are different words. In another document same index, all the "this" occurrences seem to work fine?!? The documents where the highlight shifts occur include areas turned into Articles--although the highlights are right and wrong in articled areas. ie no pattern. I've built the indexes from scratch using Catalog 3.0 and 2.1. (Deleted the log and index folder after each) Same results each time as described above. Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Novell Network. Plenty of memory on both PC's. The *.did file is only 174KB, the *.ddd is only 17 KB. The Find command works fine. So I am guessing its Catalog or the Search plug-in. Anyone know what is causing this and what my fix is? I am sure this has been spoken of on this list at sometime, and I will be searching my collection of digest archives for an answer. (Perhaps someone can fire off an answer to my personal e-mail address as well since I am subscribing to the digest version: wbren@gre-ins.com ).

This is one of those threads that is quickly going to wear out its welcome, despite having relevance and value to many subscribers. I suggest that the original poster (don't recall off-hand) solicit *private* replies and then post a summary back to the entire list in a day or two.

Pages were created using Adobe PageMaker 6.0, and included tiffs and eps and text, where distilled through Distiller 2.1 on Windows 3.1 machine. There are tiffs on pages that the search highlights properly and on those that it doesn't. Also, I brought the resolution of the display down to 480 x 640 but the effects were the same. Didn't find anything on Adobe's Website yet either regarding this problem. Anybody know if the 3.01 cd includes a 3.01 Catalog app? Thanks. -Wes ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: search highlights Author: "Scott Albright" at iegate Date: 9/9/97 12:37 PM Wes, Are the pages you're dealing with Image + Text? If so that may be where your getting the highlight in the wrong area.

The result was that the Search plug-in highlighted the words properly. Perhaps this is a bug with the article function? One other point, some of the problem articles included two columns of text ie. they were defined to optimize the view to show both columns at the same time. (Short news briefs in a newsletter in case you were wondering.) I guess in the short term, I'll delete the articles. Regards, Wes Original message follows... Subject: Acrobat Search Highlighting off... Author: Wes Bren (US) at CINCINNATI1 Date: 9/9/97 12:15 PM Observation: Acrobat Search (3.01 Reader or 3.0 Exchange) highlights the correct word only some of the time. Often it is off by two words!?! example: Search for the word "this". on page 2 of a document all highlights are of the word "this". But on page 4 all highlights are of other words about two words in front of the occurrence of the word "this". On Page 5. some highlights show "this" and others are different words. In another document same index, all the "this" occurrences seem to work fine?!? The documents where the highlight shifts occur include areas turned into Articles--although the highlights are right and wrong in articled areas. ie no pattern. I've built the indexes from scratch using Catalog 3.0 and 2.1. (Deleted the log and index folder after each) Same results each time as described above. Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Novell Network. Plenty of memory on both PC's. The *.did file is only 174KB, the *.ddd is only 17 KB. The Find command works fine. So I am guessing its Catalog or the Search plug-in. Anyone know what is causing this and what my fix is? I am sure this has been spoken of on this list at sometime, and I will be searching my collection of digest archives for an answer. (Perhaps someone can fire off an answer to my personal e-mail address as well since I am subscribing to the digest version: wbren@gre-ins.com ).

Currently I can let a single image in a PDF be exported (provided it was JPEG compressed, and not too small) as a JPEG, or use a JPEG to replace any graphic constrained to exactly the same space. The tie to JPEG and the avoidance of inline images makes it a bit handicapped, and I was wondering whether to develop it further. It's not worth doing the work to support other image formats or inline images (and make CMYK JPEGs work, they are peculiar things) unless a good few people want to do this sort of task - which is surely better handled by recreating the PDF... A key problem is that what one user perceives as an image may actually be a whole collection of images, a vector graphic, or a character in a symbol font. Expectations may be raised unduly. It would be cute to extract a graphic, fire up Photoshop to edit it, then replace in the document, but I'm not sure how to automate that. You can do this via Illustrator, but Illustrator doesn't always preserve PDF files faithfully.

Their solution runs on a Next station and costs abut 10,000 US $ (being pricey it nevertheless seems it's worth this price - if you need it). Otherwise you may get away with Illustrator/PhotoShop if you don't need highend/prepress fidelity.

The trouble is that all my TrueType fonts which are rather specific (FuturaABkBt for instance, which is our corporate variant of Futura) appear eventually as Type 3 (bitmapped) font in the PDF file. The main consequences are : - very slow displaying in Acrobat Reader - font unreadable on screen at normal magnifying Of course the print-out is perfect, but I also was expecting a correct displaying. The Acrobat Distiller driver provided by Adobe is used to generate the Postscript intermediate file (I don't use PDFWriter because the result is too far from the original) : according to the parameters that I've set, TrueType fonts should be substituted with Type 1 (outlines) fonts. Note that this same process done under Windows 95 works fine. Could it be a matter of font definition files which could be missing in my Windows 311 installation, or wrong settings in the PS Driver or in the Distiller ?

I have figured out how to design the form fields, but I have some questions, like how come the data in last field on a form doesn't print out. Also, can you recommend a good book (or other tutorial) on how to design online interactive forms. Obviously, many old forms designed to be filled in on typewriters are - to say the least - awkward for interactive use. I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

I'm guessing the rendering speed has to do with the different screen resolutions (72 dpi for PCs, 96 dpi for Macs) in effect. What do I need to do to make the thing work better on a Mac? I've thought of re-distilling on a Mac, figuring that might help. Will it?

They are Acrobat 3.0 PDFs. I work on a Mac. Now I need to get the text from those PDF files -- anyway I can. Help. I'd like to save the text to a text file on disk, or even RTF if possible. I'm looking for an "Extract Text" tool of some sort I think. Could the PDFs be run over to CAPTURE or the Capture plug-in? Would rather do the plug-in thing as I've got clean looking text throughtout, mostly one column too. Don't have the full version of Capture here. What is the best ways?

Since I hadn't seen much on forms here, I just didn't want to flood the "screen" with forms stuff. But, hey, that's what this is for, right? My first issues is that Acrobat Exchange 3.0, seems to use up a lot of memory resources and it doesn't give them back to you when you close the app. And obviously, when you working in a form, the longer you stay in Exchange or better said, the more you do in a form, the more resources it eats, which subsequently requires you to re-boot before the system locks-up. We are creating our forms using Acrobat Exchange 3.0, in Windows 3.1, and accessing them through PCDOCS. My questions is: Is anyone out there experiencing the same problem and have you resolved this issue? As I understand it, Adobe is aware of this problem and is working on it, but I'm not sure if 3.1 has fixed this.

Otherwise, you get some ugly looking PDF documents!

Hi, I've got about 15 x 50-to-300 page PDF files -- done months ago. They are Acrobat 3.0 PDFs. I work on a Mac. Now I need to get the text from those PDF files -- anyway I can. Help. I'd like to save the text to a text file on disk, or even RTF if possible. I'm looking for an "Extract Text" tool of some sort I think. Could the PDFs be run over to CAPTURE or the Capture plug-in? Would rather do the plug-in thing as I've got clean looking text throughtout, mostly one column too. Don't have the full version of Capture here. What is the best ways?

An early beta of it is available at: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/3dfe.htm This beta has known problems installing on some computers, especially Windows NT systems. Some users have reported problems converting Word headings to PDF bookmarks. Another beta release will be posted soon - probably next week. This next release will fix many problems found with the current beta release, including the installation difficulties. PDFMaker's About box contains a link to an email address to which you can send beta testing feedback. Here's how Adobe web site describes PDFMaker: PDFMaker for Word 97 is a macro for Microsoft Word 97 that automatically converts the following features in Word 97 documents to corresponding features in PDF files: - Headings in Word 97 are automatically converted to PDF bookmarks. - URLs are automatically converted to PDF Weblinks. - Cross-references within a document are converted to PDF links. - Page numbers in tables of contents and figures are automatically linked to their destinations. - Links to other documents are converted to PDF links. - Footnote and endnote citations are linked to the notes themselves. - Comments in Word 97 are converted to PDF text notes. - PDF article threads are created from text in Word 97 text boxes. - Document properties (e.g., author, creation date) in Word 97 are converted to PDF document information.

There are about 350 forms in all. My understanding is that Acrobat supports only one form file per PDF and thus I will have to create each form as a single PDF. (If this is incorrect, please let me know. I've been unable to find specific documentation on this issue and am relying on what I read in a third-party book.) Here's my problem: I would like to reduce end-user dependency on the Acrobat menu for functions such as printing and returning to the primary index (home document). Creating and/or duplicating buttons in Acrobat across multiple PDF's is tedious and time-consuming. Does anyone know of a way to "automate" the production under Windows 95? I have WinBatch, but haven't tried to use it for this purpose yet. I can also use AppleScript on the Mac, if need be. What I would ideally like is a "script" that opens the PDF and performs all the operations necessary to producing a button including specifying the file to open and so on. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The development has been done first on MacOS and we're porting it on Win32. We also plan to deliver the security part alone (always multi-platform) in December 97.

You will need the PDFMARK Reference Manual (Adobe Tech Note 5150,which you can download from the developers section on the Adobe website), and the PDF Reference Manual, and the Viewer API On-line Reference (also available there). An example of such an EPS file is: >%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 >%%BoundingBox: 0 0 83 23 >systemdict /pdfmark known not {userdict /pdfmark systemdict /cleartomark >get put } if >[ /Rect [ 0 0 83 23 ] > /Border [ 0 0 0 ] > /Subtype /Widget > /F 0 > /T (NextPage) > /FT /Btn > /Ff 65540 > /H /I > /A << /Type /Action /S /Named /N /NextPage >> > /ANN >pdfmark >%%EOF This EPS creates an invisible button field (size 83 x 23 points), named "NextPage", which would bring the user to the next page of the document. In this case, you will need an image of the actual button, preferrably also 83 x 23 points in size, placed over that EPS. It is true that only one form is supported in a PDF document. However, a field can appear multiple times (as long as it has the same attributes (read-only, for example; font size etc. seems not to matter, however). The form may also contain more fields than you actually need for a certain use. If you don't have the source material available anymore, you can extract EPS files from the document, place them in a FrameMaker document (for example), place the above mentioned EPS, print to file and re-distill. (However, if you are already using Framemaker, you can also use the Frame hyperlinks to create the navigation buttons (which it seems is what you mainly want); they get converted properly.) Hope, this can help.

Another solution could be to send to the RIP a composite PostScript, and configure the RIP to make itself the SEPARATION. This depends by the RIP Features. I hope that this can help you.

We have implemented a text comparison XTension for QuarkXPress and QuarkCopyDesk, so a robust text comparison machinery is already there. Nevertheless not even for rather well structured text documents in PDF format is it easy to grab all the text properly, compare it to each other and then indicate differences in a reasonable way... I wouldn't mind looking at sample documents - so if you could send a few I could let you know if I think it could at least be done.

We sell a plug-in that compares two PDFs in 95 or NT. The Plug-In is called P/Comp and is available for $195 US. P/Comp builds links of the differences between docs and bookmarks.The links take you to a view of the changes between the docs. The tool selectively marks word differences, missing words, size differences, position changes, and font differences in different colors. The tool works page by page. I can send info if you are interested.

The main problem is in effect the comparison of streams of data containing the graphic elements, for example. This is quite as comparing PostScript file, or something better due to the lack of procedures dictionaries or functions. Quite difficult enough, though. I think that more than a nightmare it could be a great job for who could implement it fairly well. It's only a marketing problem: how would it cost to develope and how would it sell. Any more idea?

We constantly run into an error saving the file. The error reports as: Problem Saving File (110) This happens on Win95 and WinNT machines, across a network and locally. One work-around is to save the file under a different name -- which for some reason, works about 3/4 of the time. The other 1/4 of the time, the file cannot be saved at all, resulting in lost work. Any clues? BTW, Adobe Tech Support claim to have never heard of this problem (which is hard to believe, given that we get it 5 times a day on a variety of machines). -- regards, Duff Johnson President, Document Solutions, Inc. 1755 Broadway, Suite 520, Oakland, CA 94612 Phone: (510) 986-0250 Fax: (510) 986-0636 duffj@document-solutions.com http://www.document-solutions.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 13-Sep-1997 0:53:56-GMT,2777;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA19701 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 18:53:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA07412; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 19:53:05 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 12 Sep 1997 19:45:48 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA07042; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 19:45:46 -0500 Message-ID: <3419E20E.DBD4BBC1@adobe.com> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 17:45:02 -0700 From: Phil Ydens Organization: Adobe Systems X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (WinNT; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.emrg.com Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF Printing X-Priority: 3 (Normal) References: <199709080856.KAA30785@master.datanet.it> <3418FB58.413@imedia.com.sg> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.emrg.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.emrg.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 I don't know of a place where the command line options are documented.

I am not familiar with Access or OLE, so apologies if the question is too trivial for most of you, (someone could even say demential, and be probably right) but it is exactly what they ask me to do and there is no time to experiment by myself. The main question is: is it possible to get a 24 bit image.pdf in a Microsoft Access record? I mean: selecting an item from a list of products, the corresponding product image.pdf should be imported in an image field and printed with other technical informations and descriptions field in the same record. Do you think it can work? Where can I get informations about this topic?

It would be useful if one of the Adobe people monitoring this list could at least post how to interpret this error message. Is 110 an Acrobat exception number (doesn't seem to be)? An operating system error? Someone's unlucky number...? The only clue I've been able to find, and it isn't much of a clue, is in the Windows error.h file: /* */ /* New error codes for OS/2 */ /* */ #define ERROR_OPEN_FAILED 110 /* open/created failed due to */ /* explicit fail command */ Conceivably it is resource related: RAM, virtual memory, disk space on target disk or TEMP disk, or file handles.

Also, what would be your 'logical chunks': if you could restrict comparisons to a page by page basis, things are far more easier, than comparing a 500 page document to some other 500 page document that more or less represent different versions of the same content.

And curiously..... Adobe Support claims to have never heard of it. We have observed the following tidbits of information in this regard. (1) Sometimes the error is "lying", in other words, the file saved out just fine. (2) Sometimes changing the name of the file allows for a sucessful Save As (3) Sometimes nothing will work, the work on the file (since the last Save As, anyway) is lost, and that's that. BUT! (4) .....then, after closing and reopening Exchange, the file will open, accept edits and Save As again, all with no problems. Methinks it's a memory error of some type. If these error codes mean anything at all (and they don;t appear to be ENTIRELY ramdom), then I (for one) would MUCH appreciate Adobe's making available an Error Message Reference. Even Micro$oft does this for Windows NT (although it's a hopeless implementation there) -- if something breaks, I'd at least like a clue as to why.... -- regards, Duff Johnson President, Document Solutions, Inc. 1755 Broadway, Suite 520, Oakland, CA 94612 Phone: (510) 986-0250 Fax: (510) 986-0636 duffj@document-solutions.com http://www.document-solutions.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 14-Sep-1997 1:58:06-GMT,1659;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA15124 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 19:57:04 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA26314; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 20:55:27 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 13 Sep 1997 20:44:47 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA25843; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 20:44:46 -0500 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970913210844.006f6f6c@roms.com> X-Sender: cd@roms.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 21:42:58 -0400 To: pdf@lists.emrg.com From: Jon Lusk Subject: [PDF] Class library wanted Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.emrg.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.emrg.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 Dear List, We would like to do our own special filtering of PDF files and it would help if I could get a running start on the project.

Be aware that PDF files, once you get inside a page, have only the very lowest level of structure - line here, character there, that sort of thing. But the tools above will scan for all of the text on a page and present it to you. However, updating page streams (which describe the visual contents of a page), is tedious - you have to parse them yourself and rewrite the whole thing with changes. I've done this but it isn't for the faint-hearted. These tools do, however, take care of a great many of the details including the all-important filters. Perhaps a future version of the SDK will provide object-level access to the page structure and the ability to update it. Then again, perhaps not.

In my cases, it was with a big file containing many (about 3000) fields in total, and some conflicting field properties (on some pages read-only, on others editable, for example). It has been mentioned in other posts that it could be a memory problem. This could make sense, but it may not necessarily be a RAM problem, but looks more like an internal table of Exchange getting too full. It could be that such tables have either a fixed maximum size, or are defined as a part of the available memory for Exchange. In any cases I had experienced, it happened when Exchange tried to optimize the document, just before finishing (which I believe is when it writes the reference table). The document did not get lost, it simply did not get optimized. I agree with you, Aandi, that it is extremely user-unfriendly by Adobe to not make available an error list.

FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers version 1.3 MicroType now offers the new version of FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers, designed to control various aspects of the conversion of FrameMaker 5.x documents to Acrobat documents. Two new utilities - LinkReporter and CollapseBookmarks - are now included, in addition to revised versions of the previously released utilities (PDFmarker, ParaNumOut, VisLinks and DisableArticle - details available at http://www.netvision.net.il/php/mtype). CollapseBookmarks This Timesaver automatically collapses the entire Acrobat bookmark hierarchy created by FrameMaker. Collapsing all bookmarks to the top-most hierarchical level is recommended in most cases, since the bookmark structure of a document is easier to understand when you see only the main headings (and is also easier to read on smaller screens). In addition, collapsed bookmark hierarchies load faster in Acrobat viewers LinkReporter LinkReporter generates a report of FrameMaker-originated Acrobat commands (type, location and link details) for each distilled file. This report is useful for troubleshooting and quality assurance. Saving the report of the previous PDF version and running a comparison utility against the new report could tell you if, what and where, Acrobat features were changed. In addition, a summary of Distiller settings is also included. Using the FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers you can minimize post-authoring intervention and the repetitive use of Adobe Acrobat Exchange to edit the PDF file every time you create it. FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers are platform-independent and can be used with FrameMaker versions 5.0 and later. For further details, price and description of the FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers visit http://www.netvision.net.il/php/mtype. Note: current users of the FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Timesavers will receive the new version free of charge.

I mean comparison of the full range of PDF language operators, as per 1.2 spec. In effect you could think of two subsequent editions of the same page (singular for a simpler approach, but multipage could be the same on a simmetrical comparison: page 1a with 1b, 2a with 2b and so on...) that should be compared to find if some unwanted changes are happened, or to check if requested changes were correctly done. So it includes text with all its parameters (typographical and graphical - font, dimension, position, color, style, distorsion, etc.) but also all other drawing commands (stroke, fills, bitmaps, etc.). I imagine a plug-in that compile a list of the differences and/or create a new page with the graphic representation of these elements.

(There may be much more information specifying the changes and the kind of changes that occurered than there was information in the PDFs in the first place). Also, there are two types of files: - single page focused (even in multi-page files), e.g. for display ads, 'pictures', graphics etc. - multi-page continuous contents stream, like books etc.; lets assume a small change here in the original docuemnt that caused a text reflow of exactly one text line, which of course means you have changed pages fo every page after that change.

(Take a 100 page book, change page 5 which >causes a text reflow: 96 pages are different now..) You're right Olaf, I didn't specify it, but it's a well known problem. The plug-in could sense such a problem reporting that too many consequent changes are happening in the text flow. So it could: 1) Trying to "resync" text flow, e.g. finding the text bounding box of the two version and make a computation if the new changes are due to a new word or paragraph insert or not. 2) Only control text content and other spaceless characteristics (color, style, distortion) and not absolute position in the page. However I see the main interest of such a plug-in to automatically check large numbers of single page documents, in which little differences are often lost to eye investigation. I work with customers that produce high quality graphic proofs and they'd like an automated system that assure them that what was correct in the first proof is still there in the second, and that what was requested as change in the second was effectively well done.

"There was an error processing a page. Operation or data is too complex." I've received the error on both the Mac and PC (95 and NT) and haven't found a way around it yet - other than converting my vector art file from an .eps to a low res raster image. The page previews fine until the error message hits, then after the "OK" button is clicked, the entire page turns blank. The thumbnail still displays the entire page that previewed fine before the error. This file was never optimized when saving. Is there a limit to PDF's vector display capabilities?

If Adobe says they haven't heard of it, then that individual must not have. I contacted someone about it and was told to wait until the new release (3.01... I'm still waiting...) If your file size, even after refreshing, is 0, what you need to do is search for a file containing "aaa" (example : aaa54341). It appears that this file is generated as a temp file while exchange is optimizing. Generally speaking, if associated with exchange this file will open as a normal pdf. You may want to look at your hard drive. Optimizing requires about 3 times the drive space to complete. A 30 meg file may require up to 90 meg of free space to optimize. scott ---------- > From: Duff Johnson > To: pdf@lists.emrg.com > Subject: [PDF] Save As Error > Date: Friday, September 12, 1997 08:12 PM > > Acrobats: > > I don't know about you, but we're constantly "Save As"-ing our PDF's as > we add interactivity features, etc. I figure a lot of folks do. > > We constantly run into an error saving the file.

Adobe Support claims to have never heard of it. The above error is very common when saving files of more then a few pages and containing many buttons. The erro numbers we have seen range from 109 to 121, whatever that means. About six weeks ago, Garry Cosmini,an ADOBE engineer, posted an interesting long message trying to explain how optimization works. Among other things he said that it is done in "layers". By watching the progress bar (lower left hand corner of the screen) I would guess that the program saves to disk between these layers and depending which layer is saved will determine whether the file is saved or lost. We have found that in most cases the file can be recovered with all the changes made (but presumably not optimized). Checking the time the file was saved (in Explorer window) will confirm that the the latest version of file is saved. All that one has to do is to delete the presently active copy (from the screen) and load the file from the disk and re-save this copy. During the second (or third ...) re-save the progress bar may move further and eventually a complete save is obtained. The more "layers" that are optimized, the faster will be the progress bar. This problem may be due to a memory conflict or some sort of time out. It occurs less frequently on a faster PC (both have 32 Mb of memory). I do not have yet Ver. 3.01 so do not know if this may have been fixed. I am sure that somebody at Adobe knows about this but unfortunately they are not talking. -- bdl ==================================================== Dr. Bosko Loncarevic, P.

We received a .PS file that would distill without any problems, but when we tried to view it in Exchange it produced the same error. I sent the file to Gary Cosimini at Adobe and he found that the file contained "outline type" which, he feels, created the error. Below is my original e-mail and his response.

We received a .PS file that would distill without any problems, but when we tried to view it in Exchange it produced the same error. I sent the file to Gary Cosimini at Adobe and he found that the file contained "outline type" which, he feels, created the error. Below is my original e-mail and his response.

We distill hundreds of megabytes of Postscript a month both locally and across the network. Only problems are occasionally running out of file handles and Distiller abending with fatal Postscript error on a file which will distill correctly if I simply reboot. However, both problems appear in both my local and networked situation. Also use Exchange in same environment and occasionally run into the problem mentioned in another thread regarding file save errors - though mostly I find it to be caused by another PC accessing the same file. Also use Catalogue in same environment to index several hundred megabytes to several gigabytes of PDF files (maximum run time so far is about 14 hours) without problems. Our network does not introduce any problems not already apparent in a stand-alone PC environment.

It just starts at the beginning and works to the end. What it can't do (and what nothing can do) is display a single object that is arbitrarily complicated. If you have an outline or cutout made up of tens or hundreds of thousands of paths you are likely to run into memory limits; in the general case it is not possible to automatically subdivide a complicated path. It may be able to create thumbnails because at lower resolution paths can be simplified. Look for complex paths, including text outlines used for filling or clipping. Look also for tricks like the 'magic wand' tool in Photoshop which can create un-imagable cutout paths. It also seems that a dotted or dashed line will sometimes count as a single, very complex, path. Watch for that, especially, high density dotted paths.

(One of the problems with Capture is it's inability or mistaken identification of landscape and portrait images). Most of the time, we turn this feature off and rely on operators to rotate the images prior to processing through Capture, but more often than not, the human operators miss almost as many as does Capture.

Acrobat does a lot of registry updates and they won't be present if you've just stuck it on a server. Double clicking on a .PDF file won't open it; PDF files won't view in screen in browsers (this isn't just the registry); OLE automation of Exchange may not work properly... Network installation is a wonderful thing, and I used to do it all the time in Unix. Microsoft have made it fearfully difficult to do right in Windows.

Does anybody know of a plug-in for SunOS 5.x (Solaris 2.5.x) that can be used to launch Acrobat 3.0 Reader and open a particular document at a particular named destination? This is a local file on the server's hard disk and will use Reader directly, not via a Web browser. For the Framers: We want the destination to be named rather than just a page number so that as the document is updated in Frame we don't have to respecify all the links from the Help engine. (I've ordered the Merz book from amazon.com but its taking AGES to arrive!) My pathetically grateful grovelling thanks to anybody that can help. (In fact, this is such a frequent request I'm surprised some enterprising programmer hasn't come up with a cross-platform plug-in and retired to a life of wealthy indolence.)

(I've ordered the Merz > book from amazon.com but its taking AGES to arrive!) Please let me know if you find out how to do this, it is something we want to do. The named destinations created by Frame have the section headings in there, but combined with numbers which you could not possibly guess (why?), e.g. `M9.11480.AHArticle.head.Editorial'. The destinations for pages are useful `P.1', `P.2' etc, but not if you keep revising a document and want to go to a specific section. Our Name It plug-in product enables the creation of named destinations from bookmarks, so you could achieve the desired effect using that, though knowing how to do it from FrameMaker would be better.

First, you need to have named destinations created for each page of the PDF file. These can be created via Distiller using some code written by Phil Smith (I have this), or via our Name It plug-in. You can then launch at these destinations by opening the PDF in a browser such as netscape using a URL like file:///c:\file.pdf#P.32 where `P.32' is the name of the destination for page 32. Alternatively you can use our Name It Launcher product to open Acrobat at that location.

What size reductions have you seen? At Xenos we have worked on 'optimizing' PDF files (in the sense of reducing the final PDF file size) quite a bit since we find it to be a common user complaint and have developed a few rules of thumb. You'll have to test them, since some of them depend on your input files content and your acceptable users' environment. We usually provide our clients with a table defining their choices. For example, from a recent customer test (it looks better as a MS Word table :-) 1. Largest Options Used: LZW Compression Average PDF file size 200KB, total DASD required 20GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 111 seconds Functionality restrictions: Least restrictive 2. Medium Options Used: Flate Compression Average PDF file size 53KB, total DASD required 5.3GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 29 seconds Functionality restrictions: Users must use Viewer 3.0 or later 3. Smallest Options Used: Flate Compression & lowered graphics resolution (240 DPI -> 80 DPI) Average PDF file size 30KB, total DASD required 3.0GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 17 seconds Functionality restrictions: Users must use Viewer 3.0 or later, graphics display OK, print can have issues Note here we have provided the client with options providing PDF file size ranges over a factor of 6.7. We leave it up to the client to make a business decision on which option best meets their business requirements. Both our transform software and Distiller offer the LZW, Flate, and lowered resolution functionality so the options we present above should be replicatable using Distiller.

For those of you that did respond, Thanks!. And a special thank you to Dan Schwarzenbach for the time he spent helping me debug an OLE problem (which by the way required the complete re-installation of 95). Below is an example Excel 97 macro that will open pdf files in the directory you specify and extracts the information to the a new worksheet. It requires the Acrobat.tlb file be Referenced (under the Tools, References menu). I hope by placing this example in the pdf lists areana others will share some of their OLE coding methods with all of us.

This message appeared on the framers four times; once was the original post from me. The other three were forwarded by the pdf and acrobat lists because the original post had the acrobat and pdf addresses in the To: field but the framers address in the Cc: field. The pdf and acrobat list servers, instead of stripping the Cc: address, preserved it in the broadcast posts so that framers was included in the broadcast. Sorry about that.

They are built into the PDF file and are understood automatically by all readers. It's technically possible for Acrobat to go off and locate other fonts on your system, and embed them or whatever, but that isn't done. (Not least because Acrobat Exchange doesn't have any convenient way to embed an operating system font - that is in PDFWriter, but as a printer driver it has a privileged position). That's why the list is short. One day there may be more flexibility, but don't hold your breath. If you want more fonts now, you need to do it via icon buttons.

Our plug-in (still un-named, it should be available in december) is a multi-platform (Mac & Win) solution to do what you ask for: It can protect singular annotations with private passwords that encrypt the text content (also preventing reading from plain ASCII PDFs). When trying to change position, content or open status (if specified) the user is asked a password. No password, no access. The file can also be protected globally, using a modified interface to the standard encryption method, allowing the user to open a document without having to give the password by hand: permissions are encoded in the PDF by means of an authoring plug-in that can determine which users would open the file and their relative permissions. This is a great solution to allow permissions depending from users. I hope to tell you more informations in the PDF-Announce List when our product will be in final Beta tests.

What size reductions have you seen? At Xenos we have worked on 'optimizing' PDF files (in the sense of reducing the final PDF file size) quite a bit since we find it to be a common user complaint and have developed a few rules of thumb. You'll have to test them, since some of them depend on your input files content and your acceptable users' environment. We usually provide our clients with a table defining their choices. For example, from a recent customer test (it looks better as a MS Word table :-) 1. Largest Options Used: LZW Compression Average PDF file size 200KB, total DASD required 20GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 111 seconds Functionality restrictions: Least restrictive 2. Medium Options Used: Flate Compression Average PDF file size 53KB, total DASD required 5.3GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 29 seconds Functionality restrictions: Users must use Viewer 3.0 or later 3. Smallest Options Used: Flate Compression & lowered graphics resolution (240 DPI -> 80 DPI) Average PDF file size 30KB, total DASD required 3.0GB, typical transmission time at 14.4 - 17 seconds Functionality restrictions: Users must use Viewer 3.0 or later, graphics display OK, print can have issues Note here we have provided the client with options providing PDF file size ranges over a factor of 6.7. We leave it up to the client to make a business decision on which option best meets their business requirements. Both our transform software and Distiller offer the LZW, Flate, and lowered resolution functionality so the options we present above should be replicatable using Distiller.

So I need help. I've created some PDFs on a Mac using Distiller 3.0. I've posted them to my Web site and created links to them. When I access them from a Mac using Netscape Navigator, the Reader plug-in loads fine and the document opens just like it's supposed to. On a PC running Explorer 3.02, the plug-in also loads fine, but instead of seeing the document, I'm faced with a while screen. By the way, the same PDF will open fine on the PC directly from Acrobat Reader--just not through the browser. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The application would be to launch Lotus Notes from a link within a PDF and have Lotus Notes open to a specific database view. As an example, one would open a PDF that is the Monthly Sales Report for the ACME Corp. In the report there would be a link on a Total Widget Sales line. Upon clicking that link, Lotus Notes would open to a view containing Widget sales by region. Direct responses to the undersigned are appreciated.

No, the code is for 32-bit Windows only. In fact, I don't know if the Internet Explorer for Windows 3.1 supports ActiveX controls at all. On the other hand, you might try using the Netscape plug-in instead, since Microsoft claim support for Netscape plug-ins. You would probably be in uncharted territory. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 17-Sep-1997 20:46:41-GMT,2515;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA27772 for ; Wed, 17 Sep 1997 14:46:40 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA08786; Wed, 17 Sep 1997 15:45:33 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 17 Sep 1997 15:37:11 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA08354; Wed, 17 Sep 1997 15:37:08 -0500 From: dhancock@arinc.com Date: Wed, 17 Sep 1997 16:35:48 -0400 Message-ID: <0007A655.3227@ccmail.arinc.com> Subject: [PDF] Reversing Pages in PS File To: pdf@lists.emrg.com Sender: owner-pdf@lists.emrg.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.emrg.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 Help! I've gotten a PS file that was generated by a Mentor Graphics system, 268 pages long. I can distill it fine, and it views fine. Unfortunately, the pages are in reverse order. Getting another PostScript file generated with the pages in front to back order isn't an option. The Mentor Graphics PS file has no DSC structuring, so I couldn't run psrev (from Duggan's psutils suite) on it directly. What I tried instead was to use Exchange to print the PDF representation to another PS file, and then run psrev to reverse the pages. psrev wouldn't work, complaining that there's not a valid trailer. I added %%Trailer: before the %%EOF line, and psrev then happily reversed the order of the pages. I can't distill the resulting PS file, however. It complains about DefineRes not being defined, which it doesn't do if I distill the reversed-pages PS file. Thinking that the pages depended on one another, I selected the "page independence" option in the Printer setup (I'm printing from Exchange to a PS file). This still didn't fix the problem. I'm running ATM 4.0 on Windows NT 4.0. Has anybody got any ideas I can try out for getting these pages in the correct order and still being able to distill? Please send a copy via e-mail, as I'm a digest subscriber, but I'm hoping to get this fixed quickly. Thanks!

If you copy and paste as RTF I think you'll get some of the formatting; however, nothing that I know of gets rid of the paragraph returns at the end of each line. You'd still have to do some "find and replace" things to get the document right in Word. Ambia's product, Aerial, does have a feature that allows you to copy tables from PDF and paste them into Word -retaining the cells and rows. You'd still have to do some reformatting, but at least the stuff copies over close to the way you need it. You can download a copy of Aerial from http://www.buckaroo.com. And, it's free for personal use. Hope this info helps. And if you figure out something better, please let me know!

There are a few solutions floating out there. Last week or so I asked about getting lots of PDFs into text. But, getting the formats -- well -- I don't think you are going to be too happy. They can use Capture (the for-pay utility) that might work for you. If I were you, for 2 manuals, sounds like a cut and paste job from Ventura -- or else looking for better export from them in some way. Going to PDF isn't really a "translation" program that you need. However, if you only have a few touch-up things to take care off, a PDF with Acrobat might do the trick. Plus, longer things can be supplemented with post-it notes and inserting additional pages. Then you could stick with what you got, changing chapters, and such as need be -- but this would only really work best if you stay digital. Still, if I were you, you gotta have the cut-and-paste originals around too. Get a good key-quencher. -------------- Mark Rauterkus, Publisher, S.S.S. http://www.sportsurf.net mrauterkus@sportsurf.net http://www.SportSurf.Net/FootNotes FootNotes: Mac E-book authoring and distribution environment with built-in multi-media, lan, web, internet and e-mail capabilities. -------------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 18-Sep-1997 7:26:52-GMT,1764;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA10845 for ; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 01:26:51 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA21700; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 02:25:36 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 18 Sep 1997 02:12:59 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA21322; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 02:12:57 -0500 Message-Id: <199709180610.IAA11631@master.datanet.it> Subject: Re: [PDF] Please add subjects!!!

Adobe's rule is that Acrobat Reader can only be distributed as a complete installation with all of its plug-ins. >From a practical point of view, there's no guarantee that the OCX (plug-in) shipped with Acrobat 3.01 will work with Acrobat 3.0. I'm not at all sure that it has the same name; installing it may also need horrible registry changes. That's different from Netscape where the plug-in alone will just work if placed in the Netscape plug-in directory.

But "Find" and "Search" are used differently in Acrobat. The "Find" button searches the current PDF file; that is now available in browsers. The "Search" function uses indexes, and this doesn't work with Web browsers. And it may never do so. In my opinion, the current web technologies (HTTP mainly) is not good enough to access catalogs, which need special, fast, processing. Indexes are often very large, so downloading them to your hard disk is not an option. The solution is to put some help into the web SERVER, for any browser to use. There are already a number of solutions for PDF searching that can be installed on a server. These are described on Adobe's web site.

The application would be to launch Lotus Notes from a link within a PDF and have Lotus Notes open to a specific database view. Asan example, one would open a PDF that is the Monthly Sales Report forthe ACME Corp. In the report there would be a link on a Total Widget Sales line. Upon clicking that link, Lotus Notes would open to a view containing Widget sales by region. Direct responses to the undersigned are appreciated.

You will be able to edit all of the components of the page. Paragraphs will not exist, just lines of text arranged the correct way on the page. If your books don't receive much editing and they rarely change, this might be an option. If you really want them "live", this is a painful way to go.

I never used Ventura 4 but I don't think they changed their file import method from Ventura 2 to 4. Ventura 2 would import a copy of the original word processor files; when you did a save, Ventura would write the formatting codes into the original text file. The text file was always editable in the word processor used to create the text files. The formatting codes were enclosed in <> brackets. Check the directories your Ventura files are in, and you will probably find the text files. If the text files aren't in the location specified in the .chp file, Ventura wouldn't be able to open the documents without giving you an error message. The .chp files created by Ventura could be opened with a ANSII text editor. The addresses for the files making up were always located at the beginning of the file, and could be edited. If the documents were created by typing directly into Ventura, you could save the text to a file in a word processor format from within Ventura. The resulting file was editable in the word processor. The formatting codes remained in the document. Unfortunately, neither of these options give you a formatted file, but if you can get the files into Word, you can possibly create a macro that will use the formatting codes to format the document automatically.

Sender: owner-pdf@lists.emrg.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.emrg.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 When I distill PS files generated from FrameMaker 5.1.1 with Acrobat data, I frequently get error messages like the following: % [ Warning: The following Named Destinations were not defined ] % I3.1.530805 % [ Warning: The following Named Destinations were defined more than once ] % P.1 P.2 P.i P.ii The error is recurrent within a given file, but affects some files in a book and not others. Some hypertext links and crossreference links often fail to work in files that have these errors during distillation, but not with any pattern that I can detect (some links of one type will work while others fail, some links to a given target will work while others fail, links in one part of the document will work while others in the same part fail, etc.). In an attempt at troubleshooting, I copied the contents of an errorring file into a new file. The new file demonstrated the same errors, but the original file no longer did. I gave up troubleshooting at this point, convinced there were gremlins at work. Can't find any reference to any of this in the Distiller online help.

Questions such as the one below aimed at a specific individual should *not* be posted to the entire subscriber list. If anyone feels compelled to inquire of another subscriber's motivations, please feel free to contact them *PRIVATELY* and not force the discussion on others with no interest. Anyone who has comments that relating to the intentions of another subscriber's posts may also contact me privately. We try to enforce a commercial-free zone for most of the lists, but try to remain reasonably flexible as to when that line is crossed. Repeat violators are the biggest concern, especially when the posts are so blatantly commercial and have no relation to current topics of discussion. PLEASE do NOT continue this particular discussion on the list, as it has all the earmarks of a flurry of flame postings.

I believe the following to be true: 1) Since the Full Screen preference settings are set in the viewer instead of the PDF all you can do is overwrite the settings more or less permanently (you could conceivably write a wrapper application which overwrote the settings and replaced the old settings when your PDF was done but that would require some effort). Before proceeding with replacing the settings permanently, consider how much this may piss your end user's off when they open other full-screen documents which will now have your default color. Note that a more acceptable option might be to make wide PDF files which have your background color embedded in the PDF. 2) Acrobat maintains separate default settings for Exchange and Reader, so you cannot set the Readers preferences from Exchange. 3) You can modify the Acrobat preferences (for either the Exchange or Reader) outside of Acrobat by modifying the Acroexch.ini or Acroread.ini files in the Windows subdirectory or the Acrobat Exchange Prefs or Acrobat Reader Prefs file in the Preferences Folder under the System Folder on the Mac. This can be done by either writing code to modify these files (in Windows these are just ASCII files), making the changes you want in Acrobat and saving the changed INI file and then moving your changed INI file into the proper folder via your install routine, or use the Adobe installer Abcpy.ini function to modify the INI parameters (note that Abcpy.ini only works under Windows). If you need more information on Abcpy.ini, e-mail me separately. I believe that the INI lines that need changing to affect the background color are: FullScreenColorRed= FullScreenColorGreen= FullScreenColorBlue= Try making modifications to your Preferences and then edit the INI file to see how these values change. Hope this helps.

I need to inform customers submitting files how to check to see if ALL fonts are embedded. What I dont have is a concrete explanation for 2 of the results... Example #1: "Chicago", "Type 1", "Built-in", "Chicago", "Type 1" This font will show embedded when Chicago is removed from the system folder of the Mac. Example #2: "Chicago", "Type 1", "Custom", "i", "Type 1" What does the "i" under "Used font" mean? I dont think its possible to ask customers to remove fonts from ther system folder on the Mac. On the PC I have no clue how to instruct the removal of fonts. So if "Built in" is actually ok, then ok. It's that little "i" thats the big mystery. Thank you in advance Eddy Martinez BTW, is it possible to print a date and time stamp on a PDF file every time it prints? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 21-Sep-1997 22:45:11-GMT,2197;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA15832 for ; Sun, 21 Sep 1997 16:45:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA05571; Sun, 21 Sep 1997 17:43:46 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sun, 21 Sep 1997 17:34:54 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA05157; Sun, 21 Sep 1997 17:34:53 -0500 Message-ID: <01BCC6E7.07E31980.quite@dial.pipex.com> From: Aandi Inston To: "'pdf@lists.emrg.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] FONT info??

It is to tell you what font is used to DISPLAY the file. If font XXX is embedded in the document, and a suitable font XXX is also installed in the system, then the system font is used, and that is what it will say. One tip: a name ending + and five letters is an embedded subset. I did write a plug-in Quite Illuminating to get information on fonts in a document, and things like resolution and compression of images, but so far we haven't decided on its commercial future.

Till now we found no plug- ins which helps us. € Automatic creation of articles (to allow convenient reading of multicolumns brochures on a CD). € better control over formfields (exact positioning). € a possiblity for export the form datas into an database (every time we download the ND Form demo it will be expired before open it the first time ­ very, very strangeŠ) € dependencies between formfields, if one checks the other automatically checks off. (for choosable payment methods on order forms (C.O.D or payment over bill) € interesting feature is to check, before a print-out happens, if all required fields was correctly filled out. (for sending the correctly fill out form via fax or snail-mail) € formatting options for Bookmarks (coloured, bold, split in two lines etc.) € negativ markup from bookmarks, when their are marked, so the user can see which bookmark he has actually choosen € coloring of Bookmarks, after they' ve been clicked (similar to a link in the internet.) € Import of web-based forms to Exchange to avoid another layouting € Copy possibility of articles (similar to form copy options) € editing of Text not only with standard fonts (Helvetica e.g.) € the opportunity to insert automatically the actual Index und the missing word, when opening from the ŚSearch Resultą List the ŚWord Stemmingą dialog. € exact overview about implementation of fonts. The font info box is IMHO not clear enough. € clickable files over a link to a force a copy (good for presentations screens, where people can copy material from the CD directly on their harddisk) € the possibility to save an acrobat document as an Selfrunning version (runtime version without reader). Good for running startup screens in Windows 95 /autorun-function, which give an fast overview about the contents of the CD. € The possibiltiy to open a choosable folder in the finder or Windows95 over a link. (to give direct access from an pdf document over the Cd content. € overview list (including editing) with all the page actions (especially from forms to avoid opening so many dialogboxes) Mysterious Bug ? If we open some PDF Files from the CD (via an Bookmark Link), it shows sometimes a dialogbox: ŚBad parameterą. In that case it doesnąt show the text of the factsheets. We must first go back and open it again. Then (in most cases) it shows correctly. This happens more under Win 95 then under Mac OS. What is wrong ? I know its much, but perhaps some answers from plug-in producers or Adobe will be given.

We have also created PDF Table of contents documents that allow the viewer to open these documents by clicking on the linked area. There are also links in each of these documents that open these table of contents documents thus making it an interlinked system. (No surprises or problems here) Our corporate communications area would now like to make these collections available via a pilot intranet project using the existing table of contents documents. (Intranet uses Lotus Notes Domino Server---serves databases and typical html etc.) If this is possible (using the existing PDF table of contents document) I have two main options, storing the files on the intranet Server (UNIX--Domino) or leaving them on the local LAN servers at each remote office (for quicker download). My hunch is that it isn't possible, even if I put IP on these LAN servers, and that We would need to redo the links using the Weblink instead of the file open link option. (By the way, what is the PDFMark code for this?) Also, how does someone access the full-text indexes with Acrobat inside a browser...they appear greyed out with ie. 3.0 is this a version issue? If anyone has done anything like this (move a library from a LAN to an intranet) I would be interested in knowing whatever you can offer. Feel free to mail me directly. Many thanks!

You should have been using Go To View links. You just open both PDF files and link between them. Go To View links will automatically migrate to the web.

They can't be used via web protocols. HTTP is not up to the job of searching random-access indexes. The solution is to install a web server-based searching solution.

If you put a AVI or Quicktime file on a CD it will NOT be shown on a MAC until copied on a unlocked disk. If you save a MAC version of Quicktime it works fine on both platforms. Hope I could help.

I am planning an application where PDF files are opened from a HTML page. Acrobat would run in a frame. The PDF document has some variable data for which I intend to use Forms. Of course, I know how to load another form from within the PDF document. But is it possible to load a FDF file from the HTML browser; from another frame? Or is there a way to remote-control Acrobat reader to import a given FDF file? What would be needed to do that? Supposed that it is possible to do that remote controlling, would it be possible to generate the FDF file "on the fly" and send it to the PDF document? The idea here is to allow the user to enter data in the HTML frame and to quasi-dynamically update the PDF. Would such a solution be platform specific or platform independent? (probably both is possible ). Any comments and pointers are appreciated.

Here is my latest on this fairly large PDF project: We have all the PDF files made, and there are 330 total. They reside in several directories & subdirectories about 3 levels deep. They will be included on a CD. We need to create an index that covers all these files. However, whenever I set up Catalog to parse the files, it gets about 75-80% complete, and Windows 95 gives me an error (basically a general protection fault). We tried it on a Mac the other day, and it parsed about 98% of the files before it gave us an error. Any words of wisdom from those of you who have used Catalog in a similar manner? Should I call Adobe? If so, what number should I use? (I'm in the US.) Thanks in advance! LaVonna LaVonna F.

Acrobat forms can be viewed, typed into, and the data transmitted over an IP network such as the Internet to a server. Also, using FDF (Forms Data Format) data can be sent from a server to a blank Acrobat form and populate it with data. To accept data completed from Acrobat forms, you must have some sort of CGI script on the server to receive the information. Technical information on PDF forms can be found in the PDF Spec on Adobe's web site. Our web site, http://www.netformation.com, has several examples of Acrobat forms work. Hope this helps.

Acrobat Reader can neither import nor export form data. Only Exchange can do this. Reader is limited to posting to a web server.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.emrg.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.emrg.com X-Sender: Emerge 800-829-2459 I'd like to open an initial, single page PDF in full screen mode (this will be a main menu type thing) and then have subsequent linked PDF files open in a non-full screen mode. The current method I'm considering is as follows: 1) Set the Document Info->Open for the initial PDF to 'Open In Full Screen Mode' 2) Set a Close Page Action to Execute Menu Action->View->Full Screen (since View->Full Screen is a toggle) 3) Set my links from the main menu to other PDF files 4) Set a link back to my Main Menu from the other PDF files Here is the problem with this method. When the user is in one of the linked documents, they may choose to use the 'Go Back' toolbar button to get back to the Main Menu (full screen) page. Using this method, the page opens in the current viewing mode (not full screen). Now when the user chooses a link to another PDF, the Close Page Action (Execute Menu Action->View->Full Screen) toggles them INTO instead of OUT of full screen mode. Seems that, for this plan to work I need something like the ESC key which breaks you out of full screen mode if you are in it and does nothing if you are not in full screen mode. Or maybe some bright person has another thought. Note that this need to work even if the user has their preferences set to not Open Cross-Document Links in Same Window. P.S. If your other thought involves using a Form button with a File->Close (to get you out of full screen mode) and a File->Open or a link, I've found that this does not work the same on the Mac and PC. On the PC side, when you do a File->Close action it appears that you also close your button script (meaning that any subsequent button action you had set up are lost). The industrious person then tries setting the File->Close action to be the last action in the script. On the PC side this seems to work with the whole scrip acting on the file that started the script (i.e. the File-Open or link opens the other file and the File-Close acts on the file that owns the script). However, the Mac runs the File-Open or link and then performs the remaining actions on the newly opened PDF (i.e. you open the new file and then it closes back up with the File-Close command). Hope I haven't scared everyone off. Thanks for reading this far.

I have Exchange, so I haven't seen what actually happens in Reader, but my understanding is Adobe Reader can be used to recall and input data into a PDF Form. You cannot store that data locally on the form using Reader, but you can fill out a form in Reader and submit that form information to a database over the web. Likewise, anyone can use Reader to view information in a form that is extracted from a database and print out that form and data. You need Exchange to create and modify the form, or to save form data locally, but not to fill out a form for printing or for submission.

We tracked it down to a filesize/Network issue. We copied the exact files and file structure on to my PC's hard disk drive (+2 GB) and the Indexing processing worked fine. This worked for us, however YMMD*. This requires a lot of free space on your hard drive. In addition to your files, there must be adequate free space for temp files that the indexing requires. Forms have a much larger file size, so this may explain why replacing them could make a difference. * YMMD - Your mileage may differ. Megan Seymour-Karpf First Data Resources, Inc.

I have Exchange, so I haven't seen what actually happens in Reader, but my understanding is Adobe Reader can be used to recall and input data into a PDF Form. You cannot store that data locally on the form using Reader, but you can fill out a form in Reader and submit that form information to a database over the web. Likewise, anyone can use Reader to view information in a form that is extracted from a database and print out that form and data. You need Exchange to create and modify the form, or to save form data locally, but not to fill out a form for printing or for submission.

The form uses Fields whose content can be imported/exported in a special file format (FDF). Under Exchange, you can save the form file to disk. Under Reader, you only can send it to a webserver, and you must run Reader under a web browser. This is in fact a rather severe limitation, making it very difficult to create off-line solutions (CD-ROM, for example). Printing is possible. It might be useful for you to have a look at the documentation you got with Exchange. Another very valuable source of information is the PDFMARK Reference Manual (Adobe Tech Note 5150) and the PDF Reference Manual, both downloadable from the developer section of the Adobe website. I am currently setting up an electronic catalog which makes extensive use of forms. Hope, this can help.

The files are spread over 30+ subfolders, all two folders deep, and some are quite large (in page count, light on graphics). Our environment is Mac-based, and the RAM allocation I've got set for Catalog is 12288. I'd check the RAM allocation for Catalog on the Mac, then bump up to 13312 or 14336, restart, and try again.

One particular application has us storing a few thousand PDFs of multicultural health info. Despite all the help from Adobe, many of the MD's still whinge about having to download and install a separate viewer. We'd like to have the server write the PDFs out to PostScript again, and then we can throw them at a utility which will convert to GIF. Had a bit of a play at GhostScript's PDF2ps without much luck . . . lots of undefined stringvar errors, etc. Any other ideas?

I index them in catalog using the document info fields. I would like to be able to use custom fields, but from the catalog online guide it appears that I need the acrobat SDK in order to modify exchange to do this. While in catalog, I tried going (on a Mac) to edit/preferences/custom fields but (silly me) this does nothing to create custom fields in my pdf documents. questions: Can someone confirm this for me or have I missed something important in the online guides? if the SDK is required ... has anyone done this? looks like the SDK is expensive and I can't afford to spring for it unless this can be accomplished with relative ease. Any general thoughts about the SDK appreciated.

If you absolutely need weblinks, use a custom action of the form [ /Rect [ 10 4 60 82 ] /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /Action << /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.acme.com/products/widgets.html) >> /Subtype /Link /ANN pdfmark > > Many thanks to everyone that has replied! > -Wes > > Aandi Inston's reply.................................................. > You should not have to redo the links as weblinks. > But Open File is the wrong kind of link to have been using. > You should have been using Go To View links. > You just open both PDF files and link between them. > Go To View links will automatically migrate to the web. > Less sure about Open File links.

Mentioning a product marketed by your employer that would solve the users problem, is no big crime. The problem comes from using a Taxpayer supported Internet Access Point (ISP) to do it from (Northern Arizona University - [ "Sulojana R. Blows" ]. Taxpayer supported facilities are to be used for official business only. Advertising your employers products in any fashion is defiantly not official University business. An unlimited ISP only costs $20.00 per month, I am sure that your employer can afford that much. (s): Bob Dingwall Sulojana R. Blows wrote: > Dear Bob, > > I thought I was helping someone in need.

Nope. The embed only works for the first page. You can do some cool resize things, but that is about it. Plus, the embed is very hard to "save as" and pick off -- as in a button graphic or something. So there is a bit of security that is cool to this -- without really trying I imagine. Anyway -- using the embed to jump to other pages -- can't happen to the best of my knowledge. I'd use the embed to show the first page, and if someone wants more info, ask for a click and then open a window and go to page 2 or whatever. -------------- Mark Rauterkus, Publisher, S.S.S. http://www.sportsurf.net mrauterkus@sportsurf.net http://www.SportSurf.Net/FootNotes FootNotes: Mac E-book authoring and distribution environment with built-in multi-media, lan, web, internet and e-mail capabilities. -------------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 25-Sep-1997 19:02:55-GMT,2065;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (majordom@everglades.binc.net [208.139.218.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA07737 for ; Thu, 25 Sep 1997 13:02:54 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA12885; Thu, 25 Sep 1997 14:02:40 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 25 Sep 1997 13:53:32 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA12517; Thu, 25 Sep 1997 13:53:31 -0500 Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <342A94C4.25B611C6@worldnet.att.net> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 13:53:22 -0500 To: pdf@lists.emrg.com From: Kurt Foss Subject: STOP!: [PDF] editing PDF content?

The is no intermediate PS file hanging around. Then they upload the PDFs to their web server where the doctors can grab them. There are no illustrations: it's just two pages of ethnic script (30 different languages for each publication title). What I want to do is install a little utility on the server. Whenever the client uploads new PDFs, the utility batch converts them to GIF. On the corresponding HTML pages, there would now be two links (written by our scripts): one to the PDF file, and one to the GIF, giving the user the choice over which format the prefer. Using Photoshop and Exchange, I can produce a 45k gif file of an A4 page. The documents are all 2 pages long, and the PDF file is about 90 - 100k, so the gif files are quite comparable in size.

If you are using the command line version of FTP, type "binary" after connecting and before doing the transfer.

Acrobat Exchange will optimize PDF files. If you then serve the files from a Web server that supports the byteserving feature, and view with Acrobat in-browser, then you will have what you seek.

Ghostscript has drivers to print to many different printers AND bitmapped file formats. As of GS 4.03, there is no output driver for GIF. According to the ghostscript website (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) the current versions do not offer output to GIF. However, you can output to TIFF, PCX, BMP, and PNG. Then it is a simple step to use any batch image converter to convert between those formats and GIF. You can "print" the files to a file format in 2 ways: 1) In GS View. -If you have the program, choose the printer corresponding to the file format you would like. i.e. tiffg3 to output to TIFF Group 3 format. -Then select or type in the resolution you wish -make sure "print to file" is checked -select the number of pages you wish to print -click print -enter a filename. Note that when specifying the filename, you must supply a way for ghostscript to sequentially number the output files, so that you can get, say e.ps to output to e1.tif- e7.tif. To do this, choose the base name and then add a "%d" to the end of it. So for the example, print to a file called "e%d.tif" -click ok and that's it! 2) The better way, in my opinion, is to print from a dos command line. Basically, it is the same process, but more automated, since you can specify all the options on the command line. From the command line, go to your ghostscript directory (usually called gs4.03, depending on your version. do not mistake this with the gsview directory) I have the win95 version, so there are 2 exe files: gswin32.exe (the graphical program) and gswin32c.exe (the commandline version). Typing gswin32c.exe -? will pop up a list of flags and options that specify how to use it from the command line. For reference, here is some code I use in a batch file to output a file foo.ps to foo.tif, where foo.tif is a single file with multiple pages. gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -r400x400 -sOutputFile=foo.tif foo.ps -c quit DEVICE = file format 400x400 = resolution OutputFIle = foo.tif Input file = foo.ps Note that the -dNOPAUSE flag is not documented on the command line but is described in one of the text files included with ghostscript. By default, Ghostscript will ask you to hit return after printing each page. Including this flag will remove the pause, allowing you to automate the process more. "-c quit" quits ghostscript when it is done processing the file. Again, this is all on my Win95 version. However, i'm sure that the unix version has the same, if not better, functionality. Hope this helps.

I agree with Doug based upon what I read in ungetc. ungetc does not change the external storage. fseek discards pushed-back characters. Discarding pushed-back characters resets the file position indicator to what it was before the characters were pushed back. In effect, fseek ends up pointing to what is on the external storage. --- Fred J.

Basically, the process ends up as: I wonder if Acrobat Distiller converts Type 3 fonts to bitmaps, or if the font was originally defined using bitmaps, like TeX fonts. Acrobat Reader and Exchange, unlike Ghostscript, don't have special quality enhancement code specifically for displaying bitmap fonts. Ghostscript's ps2pdf program also currently converts all fonts other than the base 14 to (high resolution) bitmaps. -- L.

I doing PDF file forms on a PC and I was getting the same problem. What I discovered was that you need exit the field you're in. Prior to printing, Acrobat needs to register the data in that field so it can print it. So if you just exit (click outside) the field, the data in that field will print. Again, this is how it work on a PC. Good Luck. Jal _____________________________ Reply Separator _____________________________ Subject: [PDF] Form data not printing Author: pdf@lists.emrg.com at INTERNET Date: 9/26/97 2:31 PM Sorry in advance if this topic has been discussed before. Everytime I click on the archive link at Emerge site, Netscape quits :-( Anyway, I've created a pdf with a couple of fill-in fields using Exchange 3.0.1 on a Mac. When I then use Reader to enter data into the fields, it appears fine on screen, but it won't print out. It's just blank in the field area. It seems like an easy answer, yet it escapes me. Thanks in advance.

Articles are in PDF format, and while most articles are no different from articles in any print journal, authors are allowed to include WWW links to QuickTime movies. About 20% do include movies as illustrations in their articles. So far we have only accepted QuickTime (.MOV), and a few animated .GIFs. .MPEGs and .AVIs are not allowed because they present too many cross-platform difficulties. Our problem is that the animated GIFs are crashing Windows 95, when linked from a PDF file. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Sincerely, Frank E.

The files were created from a TeX system, and so had embedded Type 3 fonts in them. When I display the files in GS View, they look fine, but when I distill them to PDF and open them in Acrobat Exchange, they look terrible. Since it is not possible (to my knowledge) to remove the Type 3 fonts (other than asking the original creator to re-create them), I found my own method for doing it. Basically, the process ends up as: Convert ps to bitmap. Run bitmap through Capture or Capture plug-in. Here's my way of converting from PS to bitmap. I just posted this in another message, so it's quoted here: >Ghostscript has drivers to print to many different printers AND bitmapped >file formats. As of GS 4.03, there is no output driver for GIF. According >to the ghostscript website (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) the current >versions do not offer output to GIF. However, you can output to TIFF, PCX, >BMP, and PNG. Then it is a simple step to use any batch image converter to >convert between those formats and GIF. > >You can "print" the files to a file format in 2 ways: > >1) In GS View. >-If you have the program, choose the printer corresponding to the file >format you would like. i.e. tiffg3 to output to TIFF Group 3 format. >-Then select or type in the resolution you wish >-make sure "print to file" is checked >-select the number of pages you wish to print >-click print >-enter a filename. Note that when specifying the filename, you must supply >a way for ghostscript to sequentially number the output files, so that you >can get, say e.ps to output to e1.tif- e7.tif. To do this, choose the base >name and then add a "%d" to the end of it. So for the example, print to a >file called "e%d.tif" >-click ok and that's it! > > >2) The better way, in my opinion, is to print from a dos command line. >Basically, it is the same process, but more automated, since you can >specify all the options on the command line. From the command line, go to >your ghostscript directory (usually called gs4.03, depending on your >version. do not mistake this with the gsview directory) I have the win95 >version, so there are 2 exe files: gswin32.exe (the graphical program) and >gswin32c.exe (the commandline version). Typing gswin32c.exe -? will pop up >a list of flags and options that specify how to use it from the command >line. For reference, here is some code I use in a batch file to output a >file foo.ps to foo.tif, where foo.tif is a single file with multiple pages. > >gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -r400x400 -sOutputFile=foo.tif foo.ps -c >quit > >DEVICE = file format >400x400 = resolution >OutputFIle = foo.tif >Input file = foo.ps > >Note that the -dNOPAUSE flag is not documented on the command line but is >described in one of the text files included with ghostscript. By default, >Ghostscript will ask you to hit return after printing each page. Including >this flag will remove the pause, allowing you to automate the process more. > >"-c quit" quits ghostscript when it is done processing the file. Once you have the Tif files, you can Capture them to PDF via capture or the capture plug-in. I can see that this method would be very useful for a number of applications. Some examples are: -creating thumbnail bitmaps for PDF files, -viewers who do not have Acrobat viewer and who do not want to download it. -converting from any TeX or LaTeX produced PS files. I'm sure the users of this list can find many uses for this.

I believe the problem occurred regardless of the PPD selected. Choosing "Optimize for Speed" is the workaround that I am aware of.

The online documentation seems vague about what this setting actually represents, and what effect it has. According to the Distiller Online Guide: >Choosing a resolution setting. >The default resolution for device-dependent objects is 600 dpi. >Device-dependent objects take on the resolution of the display device. Low >resolution set-tings can result in disappearing lines or objects. You can >choose a setting in the 72-to-2400-dpi range. > >Note: Increasing the resolution setting will increase the time required to >process files. What effect does changing this setting have on file size? How does it affect the downsampling and compression settings you specify elsewhere in Distiller? Are there any benefits to be gained by reducing or increasing the resolution, and is it only relevant for certain applications (printing from PDF?)

It's a pity it has to be there - the problems it deals with are real, though. A typical problem is this. When you make a blend in an application, lets say Freehand, from one colour to another, Freehand tries to get a smooth transition. To do this the PostScript code written by Freehand checks the device resolution. You will get many more "stripes" in the blends with a 2400 dpi typesetter than a 300 dpi laser. More stripes is more accurate, but will produce PDF files that display slowly. This is just one scenario where the resolution makes a difference.

When I did some tests discovering the problem of some blends that were missing due to a high value in Distiller resolution, I saw also that when I used some bitmap CMYK in EPS format around the page, some of them disappeared completely in the PDF when increasing the resolution. Once again it depends on that magic number of pixels (32768) that Mike Ossesia explained us as a limit of the current Distiller version, and objects started disappearing from the edge of the document: if I simply moved them a bit towards the center, I could have them printed completely. You can try yourself: create a large document, put some bitmap EPS near the edge and produce the PS. Then Distill it with a 2400 resolution and look at the result. So, other bad news? I can understand PostScript but here I don't find anything as the "smart" FreeHand blending code. Can someone look more inside?

Hello everyone - I am trying to use Acrobat Catalog to index multiple PDF documents. Unfortunately, the highlight in the "search" facility in Reader and Exchange does not work correctly when the text is contained in articles: instead of highlighting the actual word that was searched, the highlight is "off" by a couple of words. Previous research has determined this is due to the articles, and getting rid of them seems to solve the problem. Here is my question: Does anyone know how to batch-delete articles in Acrobat Exchange? (Just the article boxes, not the content.) I would like to delete all of the articles in a large file all at once, rather than having to go through and delete each article one by one. Alternately, does anyone know how to prevent the text flow in Framemaker from becoming an article when converted to PDF? I am working with Framemaker 5.1.1 on a Mac, and the documents have only a single text flow, defined on the master page. When I distill the document to PDF (using Acrobat Distiller 3.0) it appears that the text flow is being translated as a separate article on every page -- thus my desire to delete all of the articles throughout the document all at once, rather than one by one. Thank you for your help on this. Please e-mail me directly (or copy me on your post) since I am subscribing to the digest versions of these lists. Peggy Gunter Technical Writer Tanner Research, Inc.

It will also flatten the movie so that it will play in Windows 95. Ofcourse the movie plays within the Acrobat window. You can also have Acrobat play your movie outside of Acrobat, but you will need a quicktime player or movie player.

When we create a pdf document and need to include a reference, we import the .tif. It may look okay, but most of the time it won't print. Sometimes we get around this printing problem by capturing at least the first page of the article; but sometimes we need to create a new distilled .pdf. When we do that, the image becomes enlarged and runs off the page. We thought it might be in the initial scanning to .tif. But, it also happens when we scan to .pdf and insert those pages into the document. We're not scanning pro's so we're hoping that there's some simple, but vital, information that we've missed! We'll appreciate you help.

These remarks will mainly be of interest to computer literate users (like myself) who have not had the time to experiment with this plug-in, as opposed to developers, whom I suppose already know all this. I have it set to retain the original image with hidden text. I am taking documents from a variety of sources - primarily news articles and faxes - bringing them into acrobat and using capture so that I can search index the text. The capture plug-in is working very well for me. I have tried searching on common words (like "private") and uncommon words, such as names of people. I have noticed that faxes require additional processing before writing to pdf. (from global fax software). Faxes, particularly those with letterheads, generate an error message that there is 'more than one image' in the document and capture will not run. I solve this by saving the fax as a 200 dpi TIFF file, importing into photoshop, correcting the image size if necessary, then writing pdf using pdf writer. This works without fail. I do not know why this would be, but I have found that scanned files written to pdf from photoshop seem to work better than files brought in directly from the scanning software (visioneer paperport). There is supposedly a way to scan directly into acrobat with a paperport scanner, but I have never seen it (this is referenced at the adobe site and the visioneer site). There is also supposed to be a direct link from paperport to acrobat, but the installer has always failed when I use it. One change in system performance. Previously acrobat took 7.6 mbytes of RAM. Now it take the same, plus adds another 5 mbytes to the system heap. I do not know why this is. If anyone does, I would be curious to know, though this has not had any impact I've seen on my computer. The capture documentation makes reference to a "full" version of capture (as opposed to the plug-in). Is this a windows only application? I did not a mac version anywhere. The largest file I have run capture on was five 8.5x11 pages of newspaper with three columns per page. It worked without any problem. Every now and then I have to tap on the screen to get capture to start up - it hangs momentarily. I use a Wacom 12x12 serial tablet and this may be the reason (speculation). The capture plug-in for mac works like a charm in my experience. I hope this report is of use to individuals on this list with macs. If anyone has any specific questions about my experience and direct them to me, I will summarize back to the list. /jonathan mailto:jhbauer@akula.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + PDF is sponsored by EMERGE, the Acrobat PDF Specialists + + Subscribe or unsubscribe at: http://www.emrg.com/forum/elistsub.html + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
