I'm trying to figure out why my 7.5 point fonts look crummy whereas the 9-point version looks great. When magnified to the same degree onscreen, the edges of the 9-point fonts are smooth, whereas those of the 7.5-point fonts are very jagged, much more so than the size difference can account for. Obviously the fonts are in different formats, the 7.5-point one probably in a bitmap. By modifying the properties of Distiller Assistant 3.01 printer driver, the Fonts tab and the Send Fonts As button, I've tried "sending as Type 42" and "sending as Outlines" and it doesn't make any difference. I already have the bitmap threshold value set to "1" which I guess is as low as it goes (I tried entering 0.5 but it changed it to 1). Any way to fix this? Thanks. --Keith Conover, M.D., FACEP http://www.pitt.edu/~kconover _______________________________________________ -> It's Construction Season @ The PDFzone <-- * Detour over to: http://www.pdfzone.com/ * "Your Portal to the World of Portable Documents" _______________________________________________ 1-Aug-1998 16:56:32-GMT,2211;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA22536 for ; Sat, 1 Aug 1998 10:56:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA21560; Sat, 1 Aug 1998 11:44:24 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 1 Aug 1998 11:42:04 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA21387; Sat, 1 Aug 1998 11:42:02 -0500 Message-Id: <199808011641.MAA10480@post-ofc06.srv.cis.pitt.edu> From: "Keith Conover, M.D., FACEP" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 12:41:56 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: [PDF] Re: pdf-digest for June-24-98 [V2 #252] In-reply-to: <199806242221.RAA20261@everglades.binc.net> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: Cross Over Into 'The PDFzone' @ http://www.pdfzone.com/ Lists: Sub/Unsub @ http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Listowner: Questions to mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com On 24 Jun 98, at 17:21, Michael Jahn, writing in the pdf-digest wrote: > yes, good ones and bad ones - good one start by setting up your Mac or PC > without any TrueType fonts - use Type 1, and "dont worry be happy". Well, I must tell you that, since I wanted my printed documents (from Word 97) and the PDF files made from them to look the same (i.e., have page breaks and line breaks as the same place), I found I _had_ to use TrueType fonts. Indeed, I converted every single one of the hundreds of Type 1 fonts on my system to TrueType, just for this reason.

Your Word files will behave consistantly with PS fonts- just as they do with TT fonts. Naturally, if you take any document, once authored, and change the base fonts, it'll suffer, because the font metrics are different. The trick is to author with your desired output fonts (PS in all cases) - NOT accepting the MSWord default offerings... like Ariel (yeeech). Everyone wants their printed and PDF files to output the same. It's just that you can skin this cat a couple of different ways... With TT fonts, your files will be large, searchability may be limited, and MAN those things are ugly!!

This TitleBar feature has been available ever since Acrobat 3 arrived, why it doesnt perform the same function on UNIX/MAC as it does in the PC consisently - Who knows? Adobe??

This isn't what you asked, and the advice may not be welcome, but long, complex word documents, and talk of books, sends shivers down my spine. Word is not really suited to this sort of work. I did a 160 page manual once. Never again. FrameMaker is arguably the best choice. It is designed for books, manuals, and technical writing. Frame 5.5 includes Acrobat tools and have a sophisticated Save as PDF facility built in. It isn't an easy choice, though, since Frame has more of a learning curve than Word.

Using the `pdftex' variant gives you high-quality PDF straight out the back. 160 pages? it doesn't even start getting interesting until you get over 1000 pages, with links and anchors on every page.

To meet ISO requirements it should insert a footer on the fly whenever the author creates or edits a pdf-file with Exchange. The fields implemented should be: - creation date and time - the absolute path with filename - the author We just tried it out with the plug-in DateD from www.digapp.com but this wonīt create the authorīs name. Is there any other plugin with this functionality ? The footer should also be seen with Acrobat Reader from a remote host, so that our clients can download and print this pdf-files with the original creation date and time and the authorīs name.

Keith Just to clarify, PDFmaker uses PDFmark to create links etc. Local Render uses a plug-in to add information to the PDF file. This approach allows us to transfer the information from MS Word whatever method of PDF creation is used. Although both products are based on different technologies, in principle, they do more or less the same thing. The key advantage we see to Local Render (and the reason we created it) is the Command Line Interface which allows Local Render to be driven remotely. It will leave it to the rest of the list to debate the relative merits and their experiences. Having said that you may wish to test both products in your environment with your documents and consider things like speed, consistency, etc. I, for one, would be interested in the results! drc --- David Cornwell, Director - Business Development Computerised Document Control Ltd PO Box 5, Chepstow, Monmouthshire, NP6 6YU, United Kingdom Tel: + 44 (0) 1291 641 715 (direct) ; USA: 1-888-240-1752 Fax: + 44 (0) 1291 641 817 www.docctrl.com Forging the link between Document Systems and Acrobat > _______________________________________________ -> It's Construction Season @ The PDFzone <-- * Detour over to: http://www.pdfzone.com/ * "Your Portal to the World of Portable Documents" _______________________________________________ 3-Aug-1998 11:52:35-GMT,2564;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA05522 for ; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 05:52:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA09718; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 06:32:56 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 3 Aug 1998 06:30:44 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA09643; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 06:30:43 -0500 Message-ID: <35C59FB2.82066586@lsijax.com> Date: Mon, 03 Aug 1998 07:32:02 -0400 From: "Tracie K.

You need to make sure that you have Adobe Acrobat Exchange to add 'notes' and 'movies' to a PDF file, this cannot be done through the use of Reader (which is just a viewer). There may be other ways to accomplish this, I'm mainly familiar with Exchange. If you have a copy of Exchange, then you can add a pop-up text window as a 'note' (under the 'Tools' menu). To add a movie, use the 'Movie' menu item under the 'Tools' menu. Hope this helps!

Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d.

URL = PDF Listowner = INTRO 8/1/98 ---- WELCOME to the PDF email list, launched in 1995 to facilitate helpful discussions among users of Adobe(tm) Acrobat(tm) software and the portable document format (pdf). The list is unmoderated -- that is, messages are *not* screened by the listowner before they are posted to the list address & delivered to subscribers. To maintain the intended professional nature of this list, hosted & sponsored by "The PDFzone," a written set of policies has been established. List subscribers are obliged to be familiar with & to abide by these rules of proper behavior. In general, the rules request that fellow list subscribers always be treated with respect in PDF list discussions. The listowners pledge to maintain a light hand on the reins, having neither time for or interest in practicing dictatorial management. Instead, our aim is to foster and help facilitate an electronic environment for constructive, on-topic discussions. Proper list use -- including peaceful co-existence of subscribed individuals & companies who may represent competing products, services or goals -- will ideally be self-regulated by and among subscribers. However, if/when circumstances might warrant, The PDFzone reserves the right to request and/or enforce compliance with its stated policies. Determined at the listowners' *sole* discretion, behavior deemed inconsistent with the list's mission and in violation of its guidelines may result in any or all of the following actions: - first (in most cases), a friendly reminder of policy - next (in repeat situations), a second warning of violation - and/or, in persistent or the most serious situations, including blatant spamming, chronic vulgarity and verbal abuse, in being removed *without warning* and possibly banned permanently from the list. Any serious violations, such as prolonged verbal abuse or blatant commercialism, will result in *immediate* removal without warning. If deemed necessary, chronic list abusers will be permanently banned. The most important principles are summarized immediately below this introduction, and where necessary, explained in greater detail further below. ================================================ * IMPT: Blatantly off-topic (AND even relevant) postings of a commercial nature are not allowed on the PDF list. A firm NO SPAM policy is in effect -- and is strictly enforced by the listowners -- at all times. The PDFzone takes several measures to control unsolicited bulk email from being randomly sent to the list address. However, it's not possible to block all such electronic junk mail on the front end. Any identifiable person or email address intentionally posting commercial messages will be immediately REMOVED from the list. [*more details below] + The PDF list uses more than one address, each for a specific purpose. The "LIST" address is for posting MESSAGES to SUBSCRIBERS; the "SERVER" address is for sending COMMANDS to a COMPUTER (aka a "file server"). Subscribers should understand the difference and use each address appropriately. [*more details below] + As a safeguard, the 'Subject' field header and the first few lines of all messages sent to the list address are automatically screened by the list-serving software. Majordomo, the software used for this list, watches for ant of a select set of "taboo" words, rejecting any messages that contain pre-defined terms -- ones that look like SERVER COMMANDS rather than LIST MESSAGES. For example, it will reject messages sent to the list address that contain terms such as "subscribe," "unsubscribe" or "help." [*more details below] + In addition, there is a third email address for *subscribing* to a separate "digest" version of the PDF list. Unlike those subscribed to the main PDF list who receive every list message individually, "PDF-Digest" subscribers will receive one daily compilation of PDF list messages, resulting in a single large file. People subscribed to the "PDF-Digest" version *MUST* unsubscribe using the "PDF-Digest" list's separate SERVER address. [*more details below] + When replying to the LIST address (sending a message to ALL list subscribers), do *NOT* also forward to the full-text of any message(s) to which you are replying. Instead, edit the previous message(s), including *ONLY* enough detail to provide context to your reply. Also, please remove redundant footer information (identifying the list & sponsor) from replies posted to the list address, too. + Sending file attachments to the list address is *NOT* allowed under any circumstances; violators will be reminded once, then removed from the list if subsequent messages containing attachments are sent to all subscribers. If you need help with a problem file, try either of the following methods to solicit help from fellow subscribers: - post to the list address only a brief message describing the problem and asking for assistance, then send the file _directly_ only to those who respond, OR - post a URL where others can download your problem file + Questions, concerns or suggestions about *ANY* aspect of list management or use -- including allegedly improper conduct by other subscribers -- should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list (currently more than 1900). Any questions, concerns or suggestions about any aspect of list management or use should be emailed *directly* to the listowner, NOT posted to the entire subscriber list. ================================================ GENERAL INFORMATION - Additional Details +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. About the PDF list +++++++++++++++++++++++ The PDF list is intended to be a *general-purpose* electronic discussion area for devotees of Adobe Acrobat software and the portable document format (pdf). It is a place to ask questions, share ideas and exchange pdf-related information. Our other lists feature related, but slightly different, topics: * Capture for Acrobat Capture discussions (also a digest) * PDF-Announce for more commercially oriented messages * PDFzone EXTRA, a weekly Acrobat PDF ezine (email & web) * PDFdev, primarily for Acrobat developers (also a digest) Please use the appropriate list. For example, if you're hoping for a reply from experienced users of Acrobat Capture software, you'll likely get better results from joining and posting to the Capture list. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. How to send messages to the PDF list +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Send messages intended for ALL list subscribers to the "LIST" address: mailto:pdf@lists.pdfzone.com This will distribute your message to all PDF subscribers, currently more than 1900 world-wide (including the main list and its associated digest version together). ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3. If you have trouble ++++++++++++++++++++++++ First, contact your local site administrator, who may be able to help you. If that fails, contact the PDF listowner at: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++ 4. How to unsubscribe +++++++++++++++++++++++ If you ever want to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send this text in the BODY of a message: unsubscribe to this exact "SERVER address" (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto:pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com OR, for the digest version, to: mailto:pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com NOTE that you MUST be using the exact address at which you currently are subscribed to the list! You will not be able to unsubscribe yourself if you send from a different address. If you encounter problems getting unsubscribed from either version, please email the listowner *privately*. ++++++++++++++++++++++ 5. How to subscribe ++++++++++++++++++++++ If you unsubscribe and later want to sign up again, send this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this exact SERVER address (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto:pdf-request@lists.pdfzone.com NOTE: Be sure to subscribe from the *exact* address at which you expect to send and receive list mail. You will not be able to post from an address that is not subscribed to the list. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6. How to stop mail when on vacation ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sorry, PDF does not offer a "no-mail" or "vacation" feature. To stop mail temporarily, simply unsubscribe from the list (see item #4) and re-subscribe when you return (item #5). If you do not, and if your mailing program begins sending automated "on vacation" messages back to the PDF list address, you will promptly be unsubscribed by the listowner without notification. You will need to re-subscribe upon your return. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7. Can I read this list in digest format? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ YES, as PDF can be a high-traffic list, it does offer a digest option. To subscribe to the usually once-a-day compilation of postings to PDF, send this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this exact SERVER address (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto:pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com If you switch to the digest version after first subscribing to the main PDF list (which forwards each list message individually as it's received), you probably will want to unsubscribe from the main PDF list (see item #4). Otherwise, you will receive both versions of the list's postings. Also, you can't unsubscribe from PDF-Digest by sending to the PDF-Request address. For the sake of subscriptions, they function as separate lists. You must send the message: unsubscribe to this exact SERVER address (and *NOT* to the LIST address!): mailto:pdf-digest-request@lists.pdfzone.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8. Is there an archive of the list discussions? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ YES - The PDFzone now offers web-based archives of its three email discussion lists. The archive for PDF (and PDF-Digest) subscribers is: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9. Can I get a list of subscribers? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ No, that feature has been disabled due to abuse by bulk emailers who acquire and misuse subscriber lists. Contact the listowner if you believe you have a legitimate reason to get such a list, or to determine the exact address at which you are subscribed (i.e. for the purpose of unsubscribing). NOTE: The PDFzone does NOT use or sell any of its subscriber lists for commercial purposes. If you believe you are enduring email abuse as a direct result of your subscription to this list, please contact the listowner privately and identify the source of the offending message. If we can take some sort of action, we will do so. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10. This is an unmoderated list ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Messages sent to the LIST address (pdf@lists.pdfzone.com) are not previewed by anyone before they are relayed to all subscribers. The Majordomo list software automatically distributes copies of every message sent to the LIST address (sent from a _subscribed_ email address) to all current subscribers -- or sends a daily compilation to those registered only for the digest version. +++++++++++++++++++++ 11. List netiquette +++++++++++++++++++++ As PDF is unmoderated, each subscriber is responsible for his or her own messages sent to the list address. Please take care in how you express your comments, since it will be distributed to several thousand people world-wide. Also, remember that an author's intended tone of voice can easily be lost in an email communication; if you want something to be understood in a certain way (humor, sarcasm, etc), it may help to provide an obvious indicator of tone to avoid misinterpretation. Failure to grasp the sender's tone is a common cause of angry replies, or "flames." Failure to abide by the list's policies may result first in a reminder and a warning, and finally in removal from the list. Blatant violations, as determined by the listowner, may result in immediate removal and a ban on further participation. Guidelines include: =================== 1. Please keep "flames" off the list; if you must, send them privately. Show respect for your fellow list subscribers. 2. Do NOT post blatantly commercial messages to this list. If someone poses a query for which you believe you can offer ("sell") a product or service, please send your detailed reply privately to the original sender, NOT to the entire subscriber list. A brief mention of a product or service that is a direct response to a legitimate request from another subscriber are acceptable, but it should refer the person to the source for more information. No pricing information should be posted to the list. Overly frequent "product reminders" from the same person or company will be treated as an abuse of this policy, as will suspected pre-arranged question and reply postings. If you want to post a message about a new product or service, please subscribe to and send your message to the PDF-Announce list (mailto:pdf-announce@lists.pdfzone.com), which was created for this purpose. 3. Do NOT post attachments of any kind or size to messages sent to all list subscribers. If you have a file you'd like people to examine, post only a short query to the list; ask if anyone is willing to help. Have those interested contact you privately; send the file *only* to those people (or let them know where they can the specific file). 4. In general, keep your messages short to conserve bandwidth. (They're more likely to be read by other list subscribers if you do.) When lengthy messages seem appropriate, be sure to break up the paragraphs for easy online reading. 5. If you quote someone else's words, credit them. Please be careful to make sure you are attributing excerpts of a message to the correct person. A frequent error is for a previous message to be attributed to someone else who contributed to the thread earlier. 6. Don't quote an entire message (or multiple replies within one message) as part of a reply sent back to the list address. It's usually best to quote only small portions of messages to which you are responding -- only enough to make the context of your reply understood. 7. Only post a reply if and when you have something constructive to share with *all* subscribers. Don't merely add a "Me too!" note at the end. 8. Remove the list sponsorship footer and long signature file(s) when you quote a previously posted message back to the entire list. 9. Stay on the list's stated subject. PDF will be most useful as a resource if everyone sticks to the agreed-upon topic. 10. Use a meaningful subject line. Many people decide whether they want to read a message based on the content of the subject line. 11. If a thread changes topic mid-stream, change the subject line to fit the new topic. (e.g., "Re: Reader 3.01 for IE (was Re: Acrobat on WWW)") Also, if you receive the digest version of the list, and want to reply to a specific message contained within the daily compilation, be sure to change the Subject to reflect the topic of the individual message to which you are responding. 12. Sign all of your messages. Other subscribers are more apt to read your postings if they can associate your true identity with your comments. Many return email addresses do not indicate who you are (e.g. 70541@compuserve.com), so please remember to sign your name and, if appropriate, also include your professional affiliation. 13. Be tolerant of newcomers who make honest mistakes, or who ask basic questions. We were all new to Internet discussion lists and pdf-related technology once. If you have nothing beneficial to say, say nothing. If you have a concern about a posting by someone else, please feel free to contact the listowner privately. 14. The listowner's time -- and patience -- is limited. If several "bounces" are returned from an mail server indicating email addressed to a certain account repeatedly could not *for any reason* be delivered, the account will be unsubscribed from the list. If one day you notice that your PDF or PDF-Digest messages have stopped coming, you can send a note to the listowner to inquire of your status. +++++++++++++++++++++++ 12. Respect copyright +++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do not distribute copyrighted information to the PDF list. Sending the full text of a newspaper or magazine article about Adobe Acrobat, for example, is not acceptable and is a violation of the publication's copyright. It is acceptable to send excerpts of that article to the list, under "fair use." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13. Posting policy/guidelines ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please be aware that your messages posted to the PDF list are archived automatically by the Internet Service Provider. Subscribers agree to allow The PDFzone to archive their posts to the list with no expectation of financial or other compensation. Acceptance of this condition is a requirement of participation in the PDF list. If this is not acceptable, please do NOT post messages to this list. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 14. Statistics for PDF & PDF-Digest ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Number of subscribed email addresses (includes gateways*) as of July 31, 1998 PDF 759 PDF-Digest 1208 * There's no way to know how many people actually read this list. Many subscribing addresses are gateways to multiple recipients at corporate and educational LANs. == - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * T h e P D F z o n e * "Your Online Hub to All Things PDF" PH: (608)829-3454 x102 or (800)829-2459 FAX: (608)829-3561 579 D'Onofrio Drive, Suite 104 Madison, WI 53719 WWW: http://www.pdfzone.com/ EMAIL: mailto:webmaster@pdfzone.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _______________________________________________ -> It's Construction Season @ The PDFzone <-- * Detour over to: http://www.pdfzone.com/ * "Your Portal to the World of Portable Documents" _______________________________________________ 3-Aug-1998 13:44:59-GMT,1709;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA07525 for ; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 07:44:58 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA15227; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 08:33:04 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 3 Aug 1998 08:32:12 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA15149; Mon, 3 Aug 1998 08:32:11 -0500 Message-Id: <199808031332.IAA15138@everglades.binc.net> Subject: Re: [PDF] batch convert TIFF files to PDF Date: Mon, 3 Aug 98 09:32:24 -0400 x-mailer: Claris Emailer 2.0, March 15, 1997 From: Virginia Gavin To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: Cross Over Into 'The PDFzone' @ http://www.pdfzone.com/ Lists: Sub/Unsub @ http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Listowner: Questions to mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com On 8/3/98 5:49 AM, Pablo Recuna wrote: >I need to batch convert TIFF files to PDF in a WIN NT system > >Can somebody tell me how I can do it? > Pablo, Check out SysTIFF at www.sysprint.com.

I am, indeed, using Exchange, and I am already familiar with "notes". I am seeking information about something else. When moving the cursor over a field this would open a window somewhere in the visible window in which a message (not a "notes" message) could be seen. I saw this in one of the demonstration files, but cannot find it described or even referred to in any of the help manuals.

You can create a message, graphic, or other file which is displayed when the mouse moves into or out of an area or when a mouse clicks on something. You do this by creating a forms field which is hidden, then putting an action on the area or item which triggers its display. The action would "show" the hidden field. You'll need the forms documentation for this trick, but you can create very cool stuff. For example, you can display a message with an OK button on it where the message is a small PDF file (hidden until triggered by a mouse action) and the OK button is actually a link which then hides the message again.

What you saw was not a window, but a hidden form field. Using forms it is possible to define a field that, when passed over with the mouse cursor, another (normally hidden) field is shown. One does this by defining two fields. The first (arbitrarily) is the hidden note. The second is an otherwise empty field that has two associated actions, one on "mouse enter" and one on "mouse exit". On "mouse enter", the show/hide action is used to show the first field. On "mouse exit", the show/hide action is used to hide the first field again. It also might be a good idea to set page actions to hide the field on page open, just in case an unexpected behavior of the windowing environment causes the first field to be stuck "on", i.e. shown.

Some tips: Form fields containing the text should be defined as BUTTONS, not text fields. They should be initially hidden. You define a separate invisible (no background, no border) form field with mouse enter and mouse leave actions which respectively show and hide the pop-up boxes. Save the form BEFORE testing it, then quit without saving, to avoid having to go round and reset all the hide/show statuses.

Yes you can do this through the 'form' tool. To have this work correctly you must first create a hidden field. This field can be made with the 'form tool' and be the text that you want to appear - make 'text only', select font, color, etc... and check the 'hide' box - give it a descriptive name. You then create a second field (using form tool) which has the properties of 'Mouse Enter' and 'Mouse Exit' set. On 'Mouse Enter' choose the 'Show/Hide Field' option and select the text field that you just created. Do the same for 'Mouse Exit' - this way when the mouse moves over this field the 'note' (callout text) will magically appear and then disappear.

What's the difference to this and PDF- > prepress, that I am > currently on with you? Not sure who you meant to sent this to, but the 2000 list subscribers got it - and this one too. Never mind, the point is a good one. The announcement of pdf-prepress-l is automatically reposted once a month. This is not a new list, so if you are already subscribed you need take no action. If there are users with prepress PDF problems who are not using that list, I can recommend it. What is prepress? People within the prepress world tend to forget that anything else exists, and often believe nothing else is of any importance, so they never define the term. If anyone out there doesn't know the term "prepress", it refers to preparing work for printing on a press, e.g. magazines, books, newspapers, advertising material; as opposed to preparing for printing on an ordinary laser or inkjet printer, or use on screen or the WWW. It often surprises people entering the field, just how different the requirements are. Users of the software and hardware involved also like to refer to it as "high-end", which is true, at least, of the prices.

Chris, We could easily add the Author name to the list of dynamic information that DateD can place on a PDF file. DateD is a product that is growing as customers request new and interesting features. For example, fine positioning to control placement of text anywhere on the page, filename and the full path to the file were features that were added by customer request. We depend on our customers to tell us what they need. We are not a large company and we do respond to customer feedback and requests to continually improve our products. In fact, almost all of our products were originally ideas sent to us by people who were looking for a solution to solve a real world problem. Support is readily available by email at support@digapp.com or feel free to contact me directly. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thank you.

I haven't found reference to it either in Acrobat documentation, but I did figure out how it was created by pulling the page apart using the field tool. Essentially what you do is create two fields "X" and "Y". X is the trigger field - whether it is visible or not, its Appearence is never "Hidden". You program it as a button (in "Actions") to Show/Hide the other field, Y. Typically a Mouse Up (click function) or Mouse Enter (rollover function) will be programmed to Show the target field. Mouse Exit can be programmed to Hide the target field. The trigger can be used to make any number of fields activate simultaneously if you want (see the second frame of one of my on-line PDF files at http://www.performancegraphics.com/Media/PDF04.pdf - the center field triggers 11 target fields simultaneously!). Y is the target field. It can be a text field or a button field. Its Appearence is checked "Hidden" so that when you open the page, you cannot see it. When you rollover the trigger field, Y will "Show". When you roll off (Mouse Exit) the trigger field, Y will "Hide". One note of caution: "Hidden Fields" is a dynamic function that is a little flaky. That is to say, it does not always work reliably and sometimes will not work at all in some OS/browser configurations (I had trouble with MacOS 7.6 and Netscape Communicator, for example). But they are fun and are great in presentations where you control the operating environment. Shalom, C.

Has anyone ever come across this problem....?? I am running Windows '95 and we are recreating a print manual in Exchange. I have created many "open file" links. In one section, when I click to open a file from another pdf file, the file opens but I get a "bad parameter" window box. Thisseems to happen randomly and only from within Exchange. If I try to open the file directly from Explorer, I do not get the message. Any thoughts. Thanks you!

It may be a bit more labor intensive, but it does work! We tried Framemaker and had such a hard time convincing our 300+ employees that this was the software to use, that we gave up! Now, we use Word 7.0 exclusively (and Excel) and often create very large documents. We use Compose (by Ambia) to automate some of the bookmarks and page numbering of our documents. Some things that will help before you even create a PDF: Create an MS Word template with styles for chapter headings, body text, etc. Make your headings a different font and size than typical body text. This makes it easier for Compose's "bookmarks by example" to give really good results. To keep Word file size managable, make each chapter a separate Word doc. Create a TOC.doc and use fields to create a table of contents which spans all chapters - really easy to do! When your documents are final, convert all of them to PDF by whatever means works best for you (PDF writer, distiller). Open your first PDF document and build the composite PDF document by inserting the other files in the appropriate order. Use Compose to create your bookmarks and to apply a page # banner as a footer or header, or on the left or right side of the page. We rely, for the most part, on bookmarks for naviagation through the document, and we try to keep links within the text of the document to a minimum, since these links have to be added manually. If I can help with any Word problems you encounter, don't hesitate to contact me off-line. I'd be happy to share some of our "secrets" to making the conversion from Word 7.0 to PDF easier!

Are you using Exchange or Reader 3.0? Adobe have a note on this problem on their website. The note says it only occurs when linking to single page files, but I had the problem with longer documents.

PROBLEM 1 1: "Bad Parameters" error between PDF's There is a documented bug in Exchange and Reader which was causing my problems of "Bad Parameters" Essentially you cannot ask Exchange / Reader to open a single page pdf (menu screen) in Continuous Page view by a Form tool, ....IF... the file you are creating the Form button in is a multi page pdf. i.e.. Exchange / Reader spits the dummy on the logic when asked to open the other single page file in Continuous Page View. Interestingly the Form link does initially work from the 1st or 2nd page of the pdf, but after then the error "Bad Parameter" kicks in on subsequent duplicated form buttons. The answer is to NEVER use Continuous Page view in the target pdf view. Adobe tech support say it has been noted and will be dealt with. PROBLEM 2 Problem was: error message: ACROEX32 caused an invalid page fault in module ACROEX32.EXE at 0137:00436175. Registers: EAX=03160470 CS=0137 EIP=00436175 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=0158e158 SS=013f ESP=007df490 EBP=007d0001 ECX=000000ff DS=013f ESI=02e11394 FS=295f EDX=02ef01e8 ES=013f EDI=03160470 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 66 8b 80 88 00 00 00 c3 8b 44 24 04 83 b8 80 00 Stack dump: 01551cd2 03160470 03160470 02e11394 01555a8d 03160470 007df59c 00000001 00000070 01800013 004490c7 0158e018 0000001f 01800013 02e11394 c7360141 Answer is that Acrobat doesn't like being told to "Open File" from a Form button using the " On mouse down" command, but mouse DOWN only. As Adobe Tech Support say: Technical Solutions Database System Error When Clicking a Button in Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Exchange ISSUE When you click a form field button in Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0x or Acrobat Exchange 3.0x, a system error occurs (e.g., Type 1, Type 2, Type 11 error, "Acroex32.exe caused an invalid page fault or illegal operation."). DETAIL The form field button should execute the command File > Close or File > Quit in response to a Mouse Down action (i.e., when you click the mouse button but before you release it). SOLUTION Edit the button's Field Properties so it responds to a different action: 1. Restart the computer. 2. Open the PDF file in Acrobat Exchange 3.0x. 3. Click the Form tool, then double-click the button. The Field Properties dialog box will appear. 4. Click the Actions tab. 5. Select Mouse Up, Mouse Enter, or Mouse Exit from the When This Happens scroll box. 6. Click OK and save the file. Additional Information Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Exchange cannot simultaneously respond to a Mouse Down action and either close a file or quit. If you configure a button to execute the "File > Close" or "File > Quit" command in response to a Mouse Down action, the system will return an error when you click the button. This may explain some other posts commenting that the Form fields are not as reliable as the Link button and to use Links with buttons created in the source App. Hope this is what you need to get up and running !

The issue is that Reader with Search won't automount indices from inside of the browser. The index search doesn't appear anywhere within the control set. What's interesting is that I created a button within one my PDFs that ran the menu item for index searches, and it would bring up the dialog when launched from inside of a browser. It never properly mounts the index though. I have a demo version of NetResults right in front of me. It's a Java based tool that provides this functionality. http://www.netresults-search.com/nr_cd.html. Takes a website, allows you to build it on a CD, and then indexes it. It works, though we are worried about Java as a platform.

Anyway to avoid this? I've had the same problem - but thought it primarily occurred when creating bookmarks using Compose's Bookmarks by Example. Some time ago there was a thread regarding monitor size and bookmarks opening at "odd" places. If I recall correctly, it was suggested that the Adobe window be at the smallest monitor size when creating bookmarks so that you could be assured that they would always open correctly regardless of monitor size. But, I've created bookmarks that, after saving, do not open where I think they should, even on the computer they were created on! Will be interesting to hear more about this problem.

What I think is happening is this: when a form field is to be changed it has to be repainted. To do this when the field does not have a background colour involves repainting that part of the document beneath (to remove the old contents) and then painting the new contents. The document beneath starts white. If your document is complicated or large it will take a little while before the "natural" background is painted, so a white flash will be visible. I know you have no contents in the up position, but this probably is not special cased. You might have better luck hiding and showing a field rather than using this trick. But, when it is hidden, the background still has to be repainted. You might like to look into simplifying your background - or placing a neutral coloured rectangle behind it.

Yes, but if you want to share documents by email among bunches of people in various different states and countries (and have a totally volunteer organization with no money), Word works a lot better. We also need sharable bibliographic management, and EndNote provides this. By doing each chapter separately, we avoid some of Word's long- document problems. --Keith Conover, M.D., FACEP http://www.pitt.edu/~kconover _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 5-Aug-1998 2:24:18-GMT,1817;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA23614 for ; Tue, 4 Aug 1998 20:24:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA21300; Tue, 4 Aug 1998 21:15:08 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 4 Aug 1998 21:14:10 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA21178; Tue, 4 Aug 1998 21:14:08 -0500 Message-ID: <35C7C0A4.1EB15FDC@nng.net> Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 12:20:58 +1000 From: Rod Peno Organization: NNG X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] links within a document??

Exchange is a superset of Reader, which means that all functionality of Reader is included in Exchange. Testing it on PC is a good idea. Testing the CD on UNIX might be useful, as I have heard that some systems (HP?) may have specific file name requirements. The question whether it works with Reader when it works with Exchange can not be answered just so. It depends on whether you are using functions which are permitted for Reader only. If so, it should work. However, as soon as you are using some functions which are not allowed for Reader, you will get a different behaviour. Hope, this can help.

We check out the product in as many different ways that are as close to the client environment as possible, which means using Reader. We found a problem in a PDF viewed in Reader that did not occur when viewed in Exchange once back in version 1.01 of Capture - since this time checking in Reader has been the required QA process. It is also worth viewing files in the default Reader settings and in other modes as this can change the appearance of the page (such as text smoothing or greeking text).

Get familiar w/the use of forms functions (i.e. help documents @ Adobe's site). Use a "button" that is static text, but when clicked on it performs the desired action - as normal links do. Additionally, using one of the numerous other plug-ins (i.e. Compose) you can copy the same button/link to multiple pages if necessary. I think this should get you started, but if I've left something important out, just wait and the info will be clarified by someone else on the list.

I have been able to work it out successfully. So... I now more questions. Despite the fact that the online manual states quite clearly that only base 13 fonts can be used in the text areas of forms, is there any way at all to add another font to the system? The present situation makes it impossible to have a text field that does not use the Latin alphabet. What does one do in Russian, Arabic, Hebrew... Also, why does "Search" not work for embedded fonts? All assistance will be gratefully received.

Christine, Brett, this is not "a problem", as Acrobat Exchange does not optimize file resources when doing a normal "save" action after some editing. So the PDF listing is only incremented and normally this produces a larger doc even if you'd expect a reduction instead (e.g. after a deletion). When doing a "Save As" the PDF objects are checked in more passages and the unuseful data is discharged, so the file is effectively reduced in dimension, if the case. Optimization is a further improvement in file dimension (available from Acrobat 3.0): repeated data is "tokenized" so in general more space is saved.

Well, this is not a very exact answer...but I'm thinking you *may* be able to get access other fonts that are installed on the system for use in form widgets by using pdfmarks. C.f. the pdfmark reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/devrelations/PDFS/TN/5150.PDFMARK.PDF), around page 46. In these examples, fonts are declared and used in custom form widgets. If you are uncomfortable with PostScript programming, this will probably be difficult to understand and/or use. The reason that Exchange does not support the display of other fonts is probably either a limitation based on the GUI complexity needed to support such a feature, or a limitation of the forms plug-in itself. My theory that pdfmarks can give you access to other installed fonts is based on the former precept. If the latter turns out to be true, you are out of luck.

The manual is correct; the base 13 fonts enjoy a special position, never having to be embedded. If you want static text you can use an icon. Otherwise, the current release is useless for non-latin data entry fields. > > Also, why does "Search" not work for embedded fonts? What do you mean? Works for me, if the font was not mangled (e.g. TrueType font via Distiller; this is a known issue, and not fixable in Distiller).

It offers many "editing" features, but at this time and level of usage, it is primarily intended to view pdf's created from other applications, include scanning. Traditional scanning creates "pictures," not documents that are live and searchable. Maybe some day Acrobat will evolve into the replacement for all the word processing, spread sheet, desktop publishing packages out there. But this will be definitely into the next century at least, as Acrobat can handle data from all platforms, including CAD data, which again is not easily editable now on all platforms. Paul K.

It is neither abnormal nor a "problem", it is (a documented) purpose. The PDF format has the abilty to save all changes done to the file (=3D all file revisions). If you "save...", you exploit this possibility. Beside your "current version" you also save the entire "history" (which can theoretically be unwind; a quite different question is how and with which tool). If you "save as...", you discard the complete history.

A workaround might suffice, depending upon what you are trying to do specifically. One possibility is to use icons vs. text in your fields. Say you wanted to add some Hebrew labels as hidden fields - make a separate pdf of each label and instead of using a "text" field for your hidden item, use a "button" field. Then as an icon you can insert any icon you want. You might want to experiment with this though.

You should really try our product, Ari's Link Checker, a part of Ari's Toolbox Volume 2 from Dionis for $99. Available for Mac or Windows, It checks your links for validity, and the free update checks all actions (mouse-up, mouse-down, mouse-enter, etc.) in buttons. Ari's Toolbox also includes Ari's Ruler, Ari's Print Helper, and Ari's Crop Helper. You can read about them at: http://www.dionis.com/pdf.html I think that Ambia's Compose also contains a tool for checking links. Try www.Ambia.com.

No plug-in needed. You might also be able to avoid the problem completely by overriding the Distiller page orientation (using an epilogue.ps file).

Unfortunately for the documents you have already bookmarked the only way I'm aware of is a tedious process, but lets look to the future:-). * Make sure Magnification is set as Inherit Zoom * When bookmarking always have the object you are bookmarking located in the top left corner of Exchange Whatever you are bookmarking must be shoved as far to the top left of the screen as it can go and the Magnification must be set as Inherit Zoom. When you are bookmarking something that is at the very bottom of a page you may need to resize the view you are in to 400 or 800% (this doesn't mean that the bookmark will zoom to this size when it is selected - using Inherit zoom retains the view the user is currently using). To see what I mean highlight a bookmark (by left clicking on the little page to the left of your bookmark text), then right click and go to Properties. Go to Edit destination and make sure the Magnification is set to Inherit Zoom. Once you have set bookmarks to appear this way Inherit zoom becomes the default setting so you don't have to do this each time. You can of course apply this to your existing bookmarks, but it'll take you a long while of fiddling. Hope this helps.

I created a 3.0 PDF on a Mac using Distiller 3.0.1 (from a Quark print-to-disk file); it has subsetted type 1 fonts. A user running Windows 95 and an Epson 800 printer gets this error when trying to print: ACROEX32 This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor. (when clicking on the details button, you get...) ACROEX32 caused a general protection fault in Module GDI.EXE at 0024:00000LBC... ...yada yada yada We've determined that this error only occurs when printing one specific page in the PDF; all other pages print successfully. So I'm inclined to think that it's something on the page, yet it's a very simple page (graphically) compared to some of the other pages. Can someone clue me in as to what this problem might be and how to correct and avoid it in the future. Thanks.

It's on the web site (Search for AD302.EXE). GDI on the PC stands for Graphical Display Interface - and as the name suggests it controls any graphics being drawn on the screen (in it's simplest form). Perhaps you could remove elements from that page to see which ones cause the problem?

I like to this of this type of problem as a "burp" in the technology. Something nasty seems to sneak in for no apparent reason every few doznen Distills. I am currently fairly impressed with both PDFInspektor (www.callas.de), and Enfocus's PitStop (www.enfocus.com). The first is effective, but limited, the second is powerful, but crashes like a Californian on ice. Both plug-ins allow you to inspect and in some cases modify "hidden" document attributes and "features" that can cause downstream problems.

First, PDF version 1.2 (on which Acrobat 3 is built) has way more functionality than version 1.1 (on which Acrobat 2 is based). You will almost certainly have a crippled document. The best way is to distill the document with "Acrobat 2 compatibility" set. For this, you will, of course, need the source document. If you have no access to the source document, your only choice is to print to PS and distill the file again. With this, you will have lost all links etc. Hope, this can help.

Technically speaking, as the "DoSave" action may be overridden by your own routine using Acrobat API, you might write a plug-in to force a "Save-as" action whenever you issue a normal "Save" (Cmd-S on a Mac, Ctrl-S on a PC). My thought is that we need to focus the problem: saving and optimizing a 100 MByte PDF file stored on a server may take you some minutes each time, while a repeated incremental save requires only decimals... This is why all the best software whose docs may be *very* large normally give the two choices to save incrementally or optimized. BTW Acrobat has also an intelligent "Batch Optimize" function that can do the job for you overnight or when you're drinking your coffee, even down by the slowest LAN.

Mybe in you CAD files there's no pure text (not outlined nor drawn), but if you could insert some - even a copyright or a job description in white color - prominently along the 17" side (that is placed horizontally in a landascape format), Distiller should automatically rotate the page for you. A plug-in can be written but I don't know of any that does batch rotation. Another approach can be to write an external application that parses the PDF file and adds a new page object dictionary with a /Rotate 270 (or 90) key << /Type /Page /Parent # 0 R /Resources # 0 R /Contents # 0 R /Rotate 270 >> and replaces the relative entry in the reference table. Maybe a little tricky, but it is only another suggestion...

Yes, you need to create named destinations that correspond to your bookmarks, or named destinations for each page. You can do this if you output via PostScript and Distiller to PDF using the /DEST pdfmark. Alternatively, you can use our Name It plug-in for Exchange which will do it automatically -- see our web site for details or contact me privately. You can refer to a named destination called `Introduction' in myfile.pdf using a URL such as: http://mysite.com/myfile.pdf#Introduction This works fine with Netscape, but there are some problems with Internet Explorer 4.

Creating PDF's is done via a postscript file from the original document, then opening in Acrobat distiller. Of course a lot of varibles according to your end use. To place PDF's in P6.5, get the plug-in from the adobe site. It works quite well. You may contact me for any help in this area. I currently use pagemaker and pdf's, though I do have problems due to our agfa rip.

In the absence of particular DSC comments in the PostScript file, Distiller 3.x by default uses some heuristics to determine the predominant text orientation, and rotates the PDF accordingly so that text is upright. This is a little different from what one might expect, i.e. that Distiller would just proceed blindly, like every other RIP. So, my guess is that when you print, your pages are correct but when you Distill, your pages are coming out *not* in the orientation you want, but the text is upright. One can control the Distiller's behavior in this regard. C.f. this old post I dug up from the archives (see URL below). My search was not that exhaustive (read: you'll find more if you search yourself), but this would get you started assuming this is indeed your situation. I also seem to remember a post describing the particulars of Acrobat's decision-making process on determining predominant text orientation, which could be useful if you end up needing to "trick" Distiller. > The DISTPARM.PDF file installed w/ Acrobat 3 describes (on page 7): > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > AutoRotatePages > > boolean (New in Acrobat 3.0) If true, the Distiller application tries to > orient pages based on the predominant text orientation.

Anyone interested in spot colors and their treatment by Distiller should have a look at prologue.ps and epilogue.ps and the associated readme file in your Distiller xtras/high_end directory. There's a good amount (211 lines) of PostScript code there that implements the preservation of spot colors in PDF files. Probably the Adobe developer who cooked that up would not agree that it "does not do well".

Ah, I beg your pardon, I *am* using Distiller 3.0.2; I guess I was thinking Exchange when I typed 3.0.1. I've gone back over the file comparing pages and have determined that all graphic elements and fonts used on that page are also used on other pages as well that print successfully. I'll just re-Distill and see if it clears up. Are there any "must do" preference settings for the GDI on the PC that are know to improve PDF viewing/printing? Maybe something that isn't set the right way by default in Windows 95?

How do we do that? I created the "How To..." section of my website to answer precisely this type of question. Since you appear to be trying to collect various items from friends, I suggest that each file be individually distilled as PDFs and then combined into one PDF document. Page sizes won't matter since a single PDF document can contain pages of various sizes. Resolution will depend on what you want to do with the final document - for web use or email, use 72dpi - for print applications at 100lpi, 200dpi should suffice. C.

I have had no luck with >the page advance. ...Acrobat will simply start the audio and then advance to the >next page. >(Dean Laffan wants to do the same with a movie.) I've found two ways to control the timing of page advances and other events. To control page advances you can use the "Dur" page object. This is defined in the PDF spec. Dur controls the amount of time a page is on screen when the viewer is in FULL SCREEN mode. The following pdfmark will instruct the Reader/Exchange to display a page for 5 seconds: [{ThisPage} <> /PUT pdfmark %%EOF Dur is a real number (I don't know how much precision it allows). Some events take precedence over Dur. For example, with movies, Dur doesn't start counting until after the movie has played. For example, if you want to advance the page after a 5 second movie, set Dur to .5 seconds. Embedded sounds don't have any effect on Dur. You can play a sound across many pages, using Dur to advance pages in sync with the sound. My advice is to play with it a little. You can also use JavaScript to control events, including page advances. Of course, with JavaScript, the viewer has to be Reader/Exchange 3.01 with the Forms Update 3.5. The following JavaScript will advance a page in 5 seconds. var Now var TurnPage Now = new Date(); //new Date() creates a date object with the value of the current time TurnPage = new Date(); while (TurnPage - Now < 5000) //5000 is the amount of time in miliseconds { TurnPage = new Date(); //assigns a new value to TurnPage } pageNum++; By changing the target of this script, you can play sounds after a delay, show or hide buttons. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH MOVIES (Adobe can't tell me why). You can use it with the Dur pdfmark. There are other limitations. For example, you cannot show a hidden button, then hide it again after a few seconds (ala Pop Up Video). If anybody can figure out ways around the limitations, or if Adobe enhances Acrobat's time controls in version 4, it will make it harder to justify Director for simple multimedia work.

The javaScript works well with Acrobat Exchange. Is there any way to make this work with the Reader? Downloading the Forms 3.5 update for the Reader doesn't seem to have the JavaScript functionality that Exchange has. The other suggestion was to use the pdfmark. Do I do this in the postscript file before it gets distilled? Any suggestions as to where in the postscript file it should go?

Links in an HTML file would simply be like the example below? >From HTML document, can I to link to a page of the PDF document? >I want to link to a bookmark in the PDF document and not to the first >page. Yes, you need to create named destinations that correspond to your bookmarks, or named destinations for each page. You can do this if you output via PostScript and Distiller to PDF using the /DEST pdfmark. Alternatively, you can use our Name It plug-in for Exchange which will do it automatically -- see our web site for details or contact me privately. You can refer to a named destination called `Introduction' in myfile.pdf using a URL such as: http://mysite.com/myfile.pdf#Introduction This works fine with Netscape, but there are some problems with Internet Explorer 4.

Since I think that others may benefit from your advice I am taking the liberty of posting it to the list for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Simchah, You posted a note to the PDF list in which you asked: "Also, why does "Search" not work for embedded fonts?" As I have no convenient way to post to the list from a machine on our corporate LAN, I've taken the liberty to send you an e-mail message. If you are using Windows 95 and are: (1) using TrueType fonts in your document (2) creating your PDF files by Distilling a PostScript output file you may be running into a documented problem with the way Windows 95 handles TrueType fonts. This occurs with BOTH the Microsoft and the Adobe PostScript printer drivers ONLY under Win95. Text created with TrueType fonts will NOT be searchable or copyable, regardless of whether the fonts are embedded in the PDF file or not. Workarounds: (1) use PDFWriter. This may not be a good solution for you if your documents have complex formatting, extensive graphics, and/or embedded EPS graphics. or (2) substitute PostScript Type 1 fonts for TrueType fonts in the PostScript printer driver. This solution will work ONLY if you have EXACT duplicates of your TrueType fonts. or (3) create your documents using ONLY PostScript Type 1 fonts. Good luck. --John E.

I played around with pdfmarks some >with both the postscript file and with Framemaker with no success. >Tom Livingston >757/767 Flight Training >FlightSafety Boeing Tom, The easiest way to place the pdfmark is to use an EPS file. I don't use Framemaker, but from what I've read, it handles pdfmarks well. I use PageMaker and Quark, and when I want to insert a pdfmark, I create an EPS file that I place on the page I want the mark to affect. I'm new to pdfmarks, so I don't know all the rules, but you can place some of them on any page you want so long as the mark refers to the correct page, others have to be place on the target page. The part of the pdfmark that reads {ThisPage} refers to the page the mark is on. You can also write {PageN} to refer to a different page. When I make the EPS file, I usually just copy one of the transition files on the Acrobat CD and change the instructions. By doing this, I also don't have to retype the instructions that tell non-Distiller interpreters to ignore pdfmarks. If you don't already have it, I'd buy Thomas Merz's "Web Publishing with Acrobat/PDF." Chapter 6 is devoted to pdfmarks (you can also download chapter 6 for free from Merz's web site, and I think PDFZone also has it for downloading). Another good primer on pdfmarks is available on a University of Akron's web site www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html.

I created some form buttons for page back, page forward, repeat audio, and pause. The page forward/back and repeat audio are easy to set up, but I'm unsure how to set up the pause as I simply want to suspend any action that was started to allow the user time to view the page. I have two actions that occur on page open - a sound file and a JavaScript to control the timing of the page advance. This was done using the Set Page Action menu. When I view the presentation in Full Screen mode and Single Page layout, the Set Page Action items work properly, but none of my form buttons can be selected. If I view the presentation in Full Screen mode and Continuous layout, the sound file plays, the form buttons are selectable, but the JavaScript that advances the page doesn't. Any ideas? Of course, I can simply set the presentation up in a manual page advance mode, but it'd sure be nice to have the automatic page advance with the option of user control. Thanks!

I recently had a 400 page manual (black/white) scanned/ocr'd and had it downsampled to 150 dpi, the total file size was about 7 megs ... Once you have created your PDF you can also OPTIMIZE the PDF file from within Exchange (Select Save AS). This process will also shrink the file size - but more importantly it will speed up the access of the file and also allow it to be byte-served over an intra/inter net.

Some options to try: Option one is if you can afford to reduce you printing quality (while retaining your display quality), try downsampling to a lower resolution. I've found a resolution for display-only of 75-90 DPI will sometimes suffice and greatly reduces the overall file size. However, if you want to maintain print quality, you need to keep the resolution the same as the printer resolution (probably 300 DPI if your users are using most desktop printers). The other option is to use the most efficient compression algorithm. PDF allows for several. Try them all. You might also see if you can OCR any of the documents. That would provide an immediate drastic reduction in file size, if the documents are amenable to OCRing. Unfortunately, none of these suggestions is guaranteed.

You are running into two limitations. One, Acrobat's implimentation of JavaScript (or maybe JavaScript itself), and two, Acrobat's ability to be a substitute for Director. In this case, however, try using the pdfmark I posted earlier. It should work. The Dur(ation) page object sets the maximum time the page will display in Full Screen, Single Page mode. Users can still use the enter key or form buttons to advance through the document at their own pace. The pdfmark is [{ThisPage} <> PUT pdfmark %%EOF Set N to whatever you think is appropriate. If your users repeat the sound file, and the page advances before it is finished, it will continue to play on the new page unless that page also has a sound file that plays automatically, in which case the new sound will cut off the old one.

We use an Exchange plug-in developed for us by Computerstream. It allows us to overlay (or underlay) one pdf file with another, so that we can add watermarks to our documents, and it allows the resetting of file permissions in the process. It works in batch mode, by watching an input directory for a control file which specifies what is to be done to which files.

Unfortunately, Hidden Form Fields are very temperamental - they do not work as consistently as most other features of PDF files. Although Reader is capable of "seeing" hidden fields, I have found that certain combinations of operating systems and browsers (such as MacOS 7.6 and Netscape Communicator 4.0) do not work as well as others. And, by making your Actions "rollovers" (with MouseEnter and MouseExit) instead of click Actions ("MouseUp") you are bound to see even less predictable behavior. I would try to convert your actions to "MouseUp" triggered Actions to see if your user can get Reader to work with that. Otherwise, you should consider changing your page design so that it does not include hidden fields (I hate saying that!) One way would be to create extra pages, duplicates of the first, that have the fields visible. When you click on the field, it goes back to the original. Your persistence shall be rewarded.

Maybe someone on this list can help (I hope).... I've written a program in Visual Basic 4.0 (32-bit) to send PDF files to the default printer on a Windows platform (Win95, WinNT). It shells out the Reader command line of '/t' which emulates the drag and drop feature (when a PDF is dragged and dropped onto a printer icon - or sent with the '/t' parameters - the PDF is printed without a printer dialog box appearing). I'm trying to get a 'silent' print of PDF files and have succeeded to a limited extent. The first PDF print job submitted works exactly as planned (PDF printing on default printer and no dialog box), however, while the print job is spooling to the printer, no other jobs are accepted. This is also true if you just use the drag and drop test. After the print job has finished 'spooling' (if the document is large, it may even be partway through printing before the job has completely spooled into the printer queue), all other jobs can be put into the queue. But, again, each job has to finish 'spooling' before the next will be accepted. The bad news is that when a job is not accepted, because another job is spooling, there is no error message sent - it just disappears. I know that I need to use the Windows API to check if any jobs are 'spooling' before I send my next print command. However, I'm having trouble finding anything for the printer at this level on any of the Q&A lists, newsgroups, etc... Has anyone had to get to the printer at the JOB_STATUS level through the Windows API??? If you've used a different language, send text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It just sometimes it takes a moment for the display of the text to occur. I am not happy with the performance, but by the time we knew about this problem, we had to go with the design. A second issue appears to be related to rollovers.....the PDF documents seem to take a L..o..n..g.. time to open. Has anyone else experienced this and is it related to the forms processing? A two or three page document is fine, but a 18-25 page document makes one think the computer has crashed. (Both PC and Mac) Up to twenty times longer to open and display over documents without these rollovers.

The easist way to do this is to take one of the transition pdfmarks that comes on the Reader CD, and substitute <> for everything between {ThisPage} and /PUT. Save the EPS file under a new name, and place, import (or whatever FrameMaker does) it on the page just like you'd do with a TIFF, BMP or other EPS file. I've never used FrameMaker, but I believe you can also use a text frame to place pdfmarks. There was also a typo on my last posting. The pdfmark should end: /PUT pdfmark %%EOF not PUT pdfmark %%EOF Kevin Landis Advanced Electronic Imaging _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 11-Aug-1998 18:44:07-GMT,3151;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA26581 for ; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 12:44:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA13661; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:30:49 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:29:27 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA13486; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:29:25 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-Sender: kfoss@mailbag.com Message-Id: Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:27:46 -0500 To: PDF@lists.pdfzone.com From: Kurt Foss Subject: [PDF] FYI> PDFzone EXTRA v3, n20 - ezine on Acrobat & pdf Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== ____________________________________________________________ V.03, N.020 ***PDFzone EXTRA*** is now available on the Web: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/extra/extra81498.html ____________________________________________________________ The current issue of our Acrobat PDF newsweekly features: + UK Researcher Studying PDF Publishing on the Web * Non-commercial survey available as HTML & PDF forms + The PDFzone Expands, Reorganizes 'PDF Tools' Section * No dalmatians, but more than 101 plugins, tools, etc. + Acrobat PDF Webring Tour: Talking 'PDF for PrePress' Shop * InfoMania's email list for high-end print, prepress users + Hungarian Cook Markets PDF-based E-book via Online Store * Use of Acrobat's interactive features enhances navigation + PDF-based Workflow Enables Computer-to-Press * Forbes new international business magazine serves as testbed + Mystery Loves Company of Reader-savvy Writers * Web site sponsors collaborative contest to create a novel ... and more. -> Previous month's issues are available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/extra/ -> 1998 Archives are available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/extra/extraarchive98.html -> 1997 Archives are available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/extra/extraarchive97.html -> Subscribe to the email version, or to other PDF discussion lists at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html ---> T h e P D F z o n e <--- (800)829-2459 (608)829-3454 x102 579 D'Onofrio Drive FAX: (608)829-3561 Suite 104 EMAIL: mailto:extra-feedback@pdfzone.com Madison, WI 53719 WWW: http://www.pdfzone.com/ _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 11-Aug-1998 19:03:22-GMT,3131;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA27328 for ; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:03:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA15482; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:54:02 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:53:05 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA15423; Tue, 11 Aug 1998 13:53:05 -0500 X-Sender: prodok@pop.eunet.ch Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19980811143751.0070c9bc@mail.inter.net.il> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 18:26:07 +0200 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Max Wyss Subject: Re: [PDF] Hidden Form Fields Cc: Simchah Roth Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Simchah, Which version of Acrobat Reader does that someone have?

Probably the receiver does not have the newest form fields plug-in, or possibly no form fields plug-in at all.

There are plug-ins such as Gemini (www.iceni.com) or Redwing (www.bcl-computers.com) which convert to other formats and attempt to retain all formatting. They do a pretty good job, within the limitations the PDF format impose. However, in my opinion, what you are proposing is a great mistake. Keep your original documents, edit them, and recreate PostScript. Do this always, just as you would keep the original for a document you distribute on paper, in case you need to edit it again.

Which brings a question to my mind. Why convert such documents at all then? Isn't the idea so as to archive? Unless of course it would be for web or intranet.

The idea is to use PDF as an archival and distribution format, not as an interchange format for *content editing*. Note that PDF *does* make an excellent interchange format for *output* and is emerging as an excellent interchange format for *graphical editing* (e.g. the fairly recent open/save support for PDF in Illustrator, Photoshop, others).

Which still leaves us wondering what the intent of the original question was. Did the writer think that PDF 1.1 was uncompressed, and so there was an advantage to be gained by compressing it? If so, the question is largely moot. I'm told the Flate compression in 1.2 is better than the LZW compression in 1.1, but I doubt it's enough to worry about. If the original interrogator has files that were saved uncompressed and which he now wishes to compress, that is, of course, a different story. (My short answer: no, I don't have any source code for it.)

This is the situation the original question was regarding. If you are still actively using the document, you'd be pretty silly not to save the original from whatever program it's in. That's like throwing away all the lug nuts off your tires after you find a good parking space...why move? You may still want to archive immediately with a PDF, though. That will create your historical record in a documented format which can be retrieved, but not necessarily edited easily. And isn't that the real purpose of an archive, anyway?

Why convert such documents at all then? I too would have to agree. The beauty of PDF is that is a universal file format. As one would not expect a great chef to be a short order cook. Keep your Word intact as your original and modify that in its native form as needed and then upload your PDF. To do what you wish opens the door for too much conversion mishaps and poor integrity, and thus robs PDF of its real WYSIWYG value.

Currently I am managing several hundreds of RTF files and need to convert them to PDF for distribution. Distiller is a very good tool for updating the PDF files.

To do that, I'm dynamically-generating FDF files. That all works fine - however, there is one hitch: When the application delivers the new FDF to my copy of Netscape 4.5, Netscape opens MS Internet Explorer to display the resulting form. When I try to use the app in Internet Explorer, it just displays the FDF as a text file. I know something's wrong with my MIME type settings somewhere, but can't seem to pin it down. Any ideas?

Of course, being AVI, the files are huge (around 22-25 MB per). Using RealEncoder, I can convert these 22 MB files into 2.2 MB files (obviously preferable). The problem is you can't imbed (currently, who knows about Acrobat 4 though) RM format files in a PDF--unless, for example, you could set a form field and force the real networks file to open in that field. Any thoughts if this is doable? Doing the obvious (Set Action/Open File) launches the RealPlayer externally and opens the play window randomly on the screen. Any ideas on the subject are appreciated and hopefully, you Adobe folks are talking to RealNetworks...

The problem you were having with the netscape opening up IE is due to your Acrobat (reader or exchange)'s weblink plugin. it's using IE as the default browser. Go to File -> Preference -> Weblink and you can fix that problem. Unfortunately Adobe didn't implement ways to detect the requesting browser (that way, use IE to open IE, use Netscape to open Netscape, all transparent...), so you have to manually change this. As for your IE problem, I propose the following. Use Windows Explorer, go to View -> Options and tab onto File Types. Modify "Adobe Acrobat Form Document", make sure there is a MIME entry for it. Hope this solves your problem. If not I will need more detail about the exact situation you are having. Let me know if you can get a PDF form to submit data and have scripts return a FDF (and being inserted back a PDF) that the browser can recognize; I need some input on that. regards, yin-so > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Lurie > Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 1998 12:49 PM > To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com > Cc: yinso@system1.com > Subject: Re: [PDF] Forms Data Format... > > Thanks -- actually, I've already done all of that. > > The problem I'm having is that when an FDF file arrives in my web > browser, > the browser doesn't know how to open it.

Set a file list box pointing to the spool directory and check the count in the list box. Wait till they are all gone then send another. Check using a timer and refresh the list box to get an accurate count. There are usually two files for each print job in the spool directory. You can filter for one of the types. The spool dir is usually C:\Windows\Spool\Printers for Win95 and C:\Winnt\System32\Spool\Printers for NT. I use this approach to make sure my spool file is not getting too big on automated processing of printing.

We open the file in Distiller 3.02 update and save as pdf (to re-fry the pdf in order to receive even smaller file sizes). We have done this using all Windows 95, all Windows NT 4.0, and in combination (i.e. Capture, Reviewer, and Exchange in NT 4.0 and Distiller in 95). Currently we use Adobe Post Script driver 5 for NT (ppd distiller 3.0) and PS 4.1 for Win 95 (ppd distiller 3.0). Does anyone out there notice performance differences between the different platforms? Does anyone out there know how to thwart missing apostrophes in Distilling a file besides the known Adobe fix of changing True Type Font Download Option to "outline." Thank you in advance!!!

I need help making the capture plug-in work on a Macintosh. When I import an image, and tell it to capture the pages, it goes through this whole cool process with little lights and the image of the page being read, gets to the last item, and then tells me some message like "The page could not be captured." When I quit the program (in disgust) I get a message that tells me something like the Capture Spool File is being moved to the trash, because a desktop printer for it could not be found. Actually, I'm disgusted with myself. I think (maybe) I'm supposed to know what this message means, and how to fix it. I just found the "Desktop Printer Utility", and made a new desktop printer with no output using the distiller ppd. Then in Page Setup, I pointed exchange at it. (I think I hear laughter out there.) Well anyway that didnt work. Can anybody help me make this go?

I have seen this on both Macs running Capture Plug-in and on Windows NT running Capture. In both cases it meant that I needed to allocate more RAM to the program. For the plug-in on a Mac, allocate as much as you can to Exchange by "Getting Info" on the program icon and specifying a high minimum (and higher maximum). I have mine set to 42,000K but I think you can get by with 32,000K. If you haven't touched it, it could be as low as 6,000K which is clearly inadequate. Don't have 32,000K - even with nothing else running? Then try working with smaller image files. You have 2 options: 1 - Save your TIFF to Photoshop and then from there save to PDF. These image PDF files are smaller than Importing Image (TIFF) into Exchange - don't ask me why. 2 - Scan at a lower resolution - I would not recommend scanning below 200K. And forget about color during the conversion process. You can always add color elements later with Icon Button fields. Just because something is FREE doesn't mean it doesn't come without strings attached. I don't know how virtual memory affects performance, I never trust it. C.

To be not editable was a big advantage in the beginning. Nowadays PDF is editable like other formats too. But the initial goal was to transport information only.

If I specify the javascript at the plugin level, how do I use it over the network? or do I have to manually drop them into the plugin folder of the client machine? what I want to do is to setup a general script that I can use over and over again without typing them into the document scripts. 2. how do I get access to the "commited", "selection changes", and "keystroke" event? I can't find them in the form tab. 3. is there an equivalent of "onLoad" and "onFocus" event? 4. is there any document besides the Acrobat JavaScript Spec that talks about acrojs? Please let me know if you have any answer to my questions. any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are the user of the document that links to articles, is there an easy way to print just the pages defined as the article, or do you have to look at the page numbers in the status bar while stepping through the article to determine the page range to print? I tried to select file > print while in the article, but only the normal print options appeared on the dialog box. I also went through the archives without any success on this.

Has anyone able to get FDF working correctly with Netscape? I am currently experiencing two problems: 1. I want the PDF called from the /F key of the FDF to show up inside a frame. However, it shows up inside the _top window. 2. After I submit the form, I use ASP to try to insert it back. Code goes like this: <% dim x, fdf, fdfdoc set fdf = Server.CreateObject("FDFApp.FDFApp") set fdfdoc = fdf.FDFCreate for each x in request.form fdf.FDFSetValue x, request.form(x), false next response.contenttype = "application/vnd.fdf" response.binarywrite fdfdoc.FDFSaveToBuf set fdfdoc = nothing set fdf = nothing %> I checked the fdf output by commenting out the response.contenttype line, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, when the form pops up again, it's totally blank with nothing inserted by the fdf. Can anyone help? Any pointer is greatly appreciated.

IntraDoc, by Intranet Solutions, is designed to address your exact situation. I have two hospital clients that are installing it to put their policies and procedures on their intranet (15,000 to 30,000 pages), but IntraDoc can handle much bigger systems also. It accepts docs from a variety of apps (Word, FrameMaker, many others), automatically converts them to PDF, and manages access to the originals and the PDFs. http://www.intranetsol.com/products/ataglance.html Sheila ---- original text ---- From: Ann-Marie_Caul@eu.omron.com I have many thousands of pdf files which change regularly. Is there a plug-in available which will enable a pdf file to be converted to word or other word processing format, changes made and then convert back to pdf? As the majority of the pdf files contain graphics, tables etc it is important to retain all formatting. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sheila Carlisle Axial InfoSolutions Inc.

We have some very variable data put in an array which we load as .js file at startup time of Reader or Exchange. This is the only really variable data; all other stuff is kind of static, and is delivered on a CD-ROM. It is a catalog, where every item has its FDF file These FDF files populate their appropriate base PDF (form) file. Based on some parameters a value gets read from the array and entered in the form (by using a simple JavaScript command). When updates are needed, the user simply replaces the .js file, and still can use the CD. Anyway, one of the arrays has some 6000 entries. I am developing the applications on Mac. When I start Exchange 3.01 with the Forms Author 3.5 plug-in and have that particular .js file in the Javascript folder in the Plug in folder in Exchange, it starts, but as soon as I try to load a document (no matter whether it uses the array data or not), the system freezes totally. My suspicion is that there must be some limitations of the number of entries an array can have. I have other similar files with up to 2000 entries, and all together work properly, just the big one causes problems. There should not be a problem with memory. I have sufficient free space on the system partition, as well as enough RAM. Even with 80 Meg assigned to Exchange, the problem exists. It could be an Exchange problem, or a Mac based problem. My client had no difficulties to run things on Reader under Windows 95. So, has anyone out there encountered similar problems? Are there workarounds? Or are there any other concepts to handle updates of specific values without creating a new CD? One caveat is that this CD is supposed to run on any platform which supports Acrobat Forms 3.5. This means that a custom plug-in is no choice. Thank you very much in advance.

I am hoping to discover a method to create multiple postscript files in batches, prior to distilling them in an Acrobat watched folder. I have approximately 1000 mac-Quark v3.3.2 documents which need to be converted to .pdf. The .pdfs will be transferred to the printer via ftp, who will electronically imposition and print them direct-to-plate in one giant catalog. I'm trying to find the most efficient method to accomplish this task. Opening 1000 Quark documents and saving each as postscript is dauntingly tedious. A script could be my solution, but I'm hoping such a tool is already out there that has solved this question before. If not, I'm looking for a crackerjack script writer to help me meet my Oct. 1, 1998 printer deadline.

Sounds like a corrupted Desktop Printer Spooler in your Extensions folder. Not to be an alarmist or anything but have you screened your machine for any viruses lately? I am thinking specifically of the dread "AutoStart Worm" virus. Read the following and see if it applies: ----------------------- A new virus is found which is called Desktop Print Spooler. Although this virus can be removed manually using a resource editor, Eradicator is written to ease the process. Symptom: When infected, the computer will suddenly held up for a period of time then resumes normal operation. If you experience this phenomenon, your system may be infected by this virus. What it affects: The virus does not seem to do any harm to documents. However, it is extremely annoying. Some operations may be severely affected by it, though. E.g. scanning, video/audio generation, etc. This virus only infects PPC Mac OS systems (7 & 8) with QuickTime 2.5 or above installed and with CD-ROM AutoPlay enabled. Windows is not affected. ------------------------ You can probably find Eradicator as freeware at your local User Group BBS - I use the Los Angeles User Group (see http://www.lamg.org for access instructions). Check their Utilities/Virus Protection File Folder under Worm Eradicator. Or maybe its something else. C.

For what it's worth, I've settled for home-made solutions for the time being. For the first problem, I'm using a mixture of AppleScript and QuicKeys on the Mac. Not very elegant or fast, but it seems to work. For the second problem, I'm using a template that contains a form field with the text I need. Then I use AppleScript to replace the pages in the template with the pages from the files I need. Again, not too fast, but it gets the job done. I got this idea from a response on the list to a quite different question. Thanks. If anyone wants more details on these solutions, let me know off list.

Does it work properly from other apps? I ran into a Capture crashing problem under Win95 and that was the first thing the Adobe tech wanted to look into. Capture evidently uses PDFWriter to write out the PDFs. Sounds reasonable enough, doesn't it.

But whether it is faster to batch print multiple files or combine the files and print once would depend upon how quickly you can combine them. My money is on combining and printing once being faster than batch printing. Having said that, the latest update of Ari's Print Helper, available free to registered users, will batch print.

Now & then we opt to re-post one section of the newsletter to other lists so those who don't read EXTRA can still obtain selected information. This week's EXTRA promotes an academic survey from the UK on the use of PDF as a publishing tool on the World Wide Web. The survey form is available in both HTML and PDF versions, both which can be fully completed on line. If you'd like to participate, please complete one form OR the other--links are shown below. The PDF version was created by Nikao Solutions . rgds ~ Kurt === PDFzone EXTRA v3, n20 ============================================== 1. NEWSFLASH: Researcher Surveys PDF Use by Web Publishers ============================================== As an author and publisher of more than a dozen books on wine, food and travel topics, Marc Millon finds PDF to be "a fantastic way to deliver" lengthy documents not well-suited for online reading. With UK-based Quay Press, he's been wondering how others are using Adobe Acrobat and PDF to publish such materials on the Web. So he decided to ask--in the form of a post-graduate survey, part of his Master of Arts thesis in Book Production and Publishing at the University of Plymouth in England. Millon posted an html-based form on the Quay Publishing Web site, making the survey available *only* until August 31. Then his data analysis phase begins. In support of his non-commercial efforts to gain an insight into "the current state of PDF Publishing on the Web," The PDFzone is encouraging its community of visitors and subscribers to participate in the survey. In return for the promotional support, Millon has agreed to also publish his analyzed results--when completed--in The PDFzone. Additionally, The PDFzone proposed that a pdf-based version of his survey might provide an interesting alternative for some potential respondents, as well as have educational value for others who'd enjoy seeing the same survey presented in both HTML and PDF. With Millon's approval, we solicited the forms expertise of Nikao Solutions to develop a PDF version of Millon's survey--one that can be totally filled out on line (with the proper Adobe forms plug-in for Exchange or Reader) and submitted electronically. If you're a PDF-savvy Web publisher, please take some time to complete ONE version of Millon's survey--and if interested, check out the other version to see how it compares. Both versions will remain on line ONLY until August 31. REMINDER: and an important re-statement of Millon's academic intent: NO commercial uses will be made of any data collected--from *either* the HTML or PDF versions--as part of this purely academic survey. PLEASE NOTE also that Millon is currently on holiday until August 23, so email queries are likely to go unanswered until almost the end of the month. However, both versions of the survey will remain available throughout his absence. A future edition of EXTRA will include a summary of Millon's findings and a pointer to more detailed published results.

Hey Guys'

Is there a Javascript user out there.  Can someone provide me with the
javascript that will
allow a pdf document to print just a specific page, without the print dialog
box coming up.

Actually, when I sent the message off, I got a "Mail Delivery Error" and thought it didn't go through. In any event, I discovered the problem this morning. The problem was in Word 97, not with Distiller or PDFWriter. The option to print drawing objects was not checked so none of the graphic images, text boxes, etc. were converted. So simple, but so frustrating to find. chagrine, chagrine.

 Here is the method you want:
print
Parameters: bInteractive, [nFirstPage], [nLastPage], [bSilent]
Returns: nothing

Use this function to print all or a specific number of pages of the document. If bInteractive is
true, Acrobat displays the standard print dialog and all other parameters are ignored. The
optional nFirstPage and nLastPage parameters specify the range of pages to print. If using
nFirstPage and nLastPage parameters bInteractive must be false. Set the optional bSilent
flag to true if you don't want to display the cancel dialog box while the document is printing.
The default value for bSilent flag is false.

You could use it like this:

this.print(false, this.page, this.page);

This will print the current page.

See tech notes #5186, if you are ADA memeber.

javascript that will
allow a pdf document to print just a specific page, without the print dialog

Also verify that all .API files are in their proper place (usually Acrobat3\Exchange\PlugIns).

That's what I thought, but the situation is actually a little different (not necessarily in a way that it is apparent). PostScript 3 (just that) is a product a printer maker can license from Adobe. This include PostScript printing, PDF printing, Web printing and who knows what else. The PostScript part includes PostScript languagelevel 3, and this is just extended PostScript - not PDF. So PDF and PostScript are separate, but both are likely to be printed by an Adobe PostScript 3 printer. Somehow. PostScript 3 printers are available, but I've seen no reports on what printing PDF actually looks like with one of these printers. Apparently some sort of downloader is needed, since it is actually impossible for a printer with no hard disk to digest an arbitrary PDF file.

We will do the capturing and indexing for them, delivering 'collections' of documents which it seems they want to dump into some type of 'master' collection - maybe a big directory on a server, allowing search over a network. Fine. It seems they want (only) one big index for all documents in the 'master' collection. The master collection will reach many thousands of documents eventually. I've read through the Catalog Help with Exchange, and worked extensively on a pilot project that led us to this work, but wonder about a few things; 1) is there a maximum number of documents that may be contained in an index 2) how much efficiency do you lose when jamming everything into one, big index - rather than splitting it up 3) is there a way of updating a 'master' index which we deliver other than to maintain our own copy of the master collection, and rebuild the index as new documents are added.

Bookmarks and notes must be encoded in a fixed character set known as PDFDocEncoding. This cannot be redefined by the document. The pdfmark and PDF reference manuals identify where this is needed. PDFDocEncoding is basically ISO Latin-1 with additional European characters and some printing marks added. Of course, you've got to figure out how to get your application to put those values into the bookmarks and notes if you're not working in ISO Latin-1. You'll find PDFDocEncoding defined in the PDF reference manual.

It is convenient to create such a set by setting values for a watched folder from Distiller and then using the resulting dprefs file. However I noticed that Distiller sets /GrayImageFilter to /LZWEncode while ZIP compressions is selected and to /ZipEncode while LZW is selected (Acrobat 2.1 compat.). And it never sets to /FlateEncode which is documented in Distiller Params (Tech. Note #5151). We use Distiller 3.02 on Windows NT. Is there any explanation or fix for this? Is it possible to see which encoding has been actually used by searching for specific patterns in PDF file? Thanks!

This is what I find in dprefs when ZIP compression is selected (3.0 compat.): /CompatibilityLevel 1.200000 /ColorImageFilter /LZWEncode /GrayImageFilter /LZWEncode And the following appears when LZW is selected (2.1 compat.): /CompatibilityLevel 1.100000 /ColorImageFilter /ZipEncode /GrayImageFilter /ZipEncode Shouldn't it be vice versa? Is the Distiller making an error by while writing dprefs? How could one tell from the PDF file which compression has actually been used? Many thanks!

QX Tools 4.0 allows Quark to import PDF, but when it does, it converts all data to editable vector art thus creating a potentially complex image for your RIP, not to mention loss of authorship of PDF. Why do you desire to do this? Why not make an eps file from Exchange instead? Or is your intention to edit the PDF? If so, Pitstop from Enfocus is the way to go.

Quark announced that they were pursuing development of an import filter and an export filter for both platform versions of 4.02 back on October 1, 1997 (see press release http://www.quark.com/itn044.htm. So far they have released an alpha version of an export filter (see http://www.quark.com/xtensions/xtquarkxts_40.html#pdf). I suppose a certain amount of foot-dragging by Quark is to be expected (but hardly admired). Extensis has added QX-VectorEdit to their long list of QX Tools extensions (see http://www.extensis.com/products/QX-Tools/Mac/details.html). Justin is right - it is safer to stick with EPS for the time being. C.

I require screen shots throughout my documents, and have tried several ways of importing them. Regardless of the method, every screen shot imports beautifully, and looks great on the screen and prints perfectly. Then I distill it to a pdf file. I can create a postscript or an encapsulated postscript file, and when I run it through the ditiller, the graphic is messy, unreadable, etc. Adobe's "fix" is not really acceptable. I cannot afford the time to change the resolution of my screen, the colors used, etc. every time I want to take a screen shot. (almost every second page has a screen shot) The only way I can create a clean pdf file is through Word 97. Seems a bit idiotic that a product from Microsoft creates a better Adobe file than a product from Adobe. We are wanting to move away from using Word to just using FrameMaker. Any solutions?

If any of these changes improves the quality, check out how much you can apply to get small files _and_ good quality. (Lower image resolution and (higher) JPEG compression obviously give you much smaller files.) One other issue: A screen grab may look blurry in Reader/Exchange - but only is at that onscreen viewing resolution. If you zoom into the page you may well see that the screen grabs _are_ ok. A screen grab scaled down onscreen often does not look good.

The printer manufacturer has to decide if he wants to have this feature in the printer and has to buy a licence from Adobe to include it, because direct PDF printing is an optional of PS3. The same is true for Internet-printing. Therefore don't just buy any PS3 printer. Ask and try if direct PDF-printing is available. On the other hand you are able to print any open PDF file to any printer just by clicking the print botton.

Excuss my ignorance. I did not create these trouble ads. I belive they were created from Quark on a Mac. They are black and white. And I suspect have photoshop clipping paths imbedded. All fonts are imbedded in them and most attempts to print them have been from Reader.(I am unaware of the difference when it comes to simply printing) No opi. We have had some luck printing to the lino after first export the pdf through laserwriter 8.5 to a postscript file, but this solution negates all workflow benifits.

The implication is that a PDF file can be sent to the printer, while with all other printers Acrobat Reader (or similar) but convert to the printer language. There are special difficulties in printing PDF in this way. PDF files may be in any order, with the first word of page 1 right at the end.

Windows'9X, Windows NT? Which OS? And which printer drivers? PSCRIPT or AdobePS? And which versions? I am going to guess at one possibility. When you are in Exchange, check the printer setup for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4MPlus PostScript. Make sure that it is set for A4 paper instead of letter.

Use either 8bit lzw if the grabs have limited color or 24 bit for high color. Bring LZW tiffs into Frame at 72 dpi. It won't look great in Frame but it will definitely look good in PDF for any platform. Rip either in Distiller or PDF writer (writer's ok if there are no EPS's involved. The rest is history. I do this almost every day for cross platform design jobs using PDF as a transport mechanism.

Adobe Technical Support was trying to characterize the problem. They were able to reproduce the problem with my files on their systems and it had been reported by multiple other customers. There are no decent workarounds. Suggestions: (1) Try to do as much as possible before converting to PDF (such as in PageMaker or whatever you are using). (2) Contact Adobe technical support and see what they have learned about the problem in the past few months. If you do not get satisfactory results, let them know that it reflects poorly on the company when they fail to stand behind their products. If anyone in Adobe management is listening (those who are not being let go during the cutback) this is for you: I think Adobe is selling knowingly defective merchandise which is against the law. Check that with your legal staff. That is what they are there for. Their response should provide some incentive to fix the problem, but I think the Adobe organizational structure prevents this. Technical support is completely divorced from development and so there is not even a way for them to request that the problem be fixed! I wish you luck in getting things resolved. If you find that there is now a solution, please let me know.

Because you believe that converting PDF back to PostScript introduces errors (which I don't think it true), or because such a conversion annoys you on principle. 3. Because people hope it will be faster. 4. Because it is easier to automate, especially helpful for high-volume workflows.

The finished product is at: http://www.writtenword.com/acrobatforms BUT, it only seems to work correctly in Netscape Navigator (make sure you've got the correct plug ins). Internet Explorer just shows a blank page when receiving generated PDF. Anyone else out there had this experience? I'm guessing there's one extra space somewhere in the reams of PDF text I created, but it there's a bug in the Active X Control for PDF, then I don't want to waste the brain cells hunting... I'm pretty sure it's not a MIME problem - IE is working fine for most PDF, and Netscape seems OK, too. Any advice/help would be appreciated... Ian Lurie The Written Word, Inc.

The problem has been solved, and I thought people might appreciate our fix. One of our team members had called Adobe on the same case # so often that Adobe Tech Support finally put him through to Research. When Adobe came out with 3.01, they blew up the PCL printer drivers. As long as you print to a PS printer, there was never a problem. If, like us, you use printers that are PCL, then the 3.01 engine is going to mess everything up. On Adobe's web site, there is a PCL driver patch. We have installed it and it works perfectly. Straight from FrameMaker, print to the Distiller Assistant, then distill it to a pdf. Turns out it had nothing to do with the way we were importing graphics, but rather a bug in 3.01. For those of you using FrameMaker 5.0 and Acrobate 3.01, install the patch and you can reduce all that extra time required in playing with 3rd party graphics programs. This patch ONLY works in 3.01. Not 3.0, or 3.02 when/if they come out with it. Cheers!

When I output the film straight from the PDF (through Crackerjack) all of the images have a square box with a 1-2% magenta dot surrounding the image. If I export the PDF to eps and bring it into Quark and print the film the magenta dot is negligible. When I create a PDF from my end - the PDF prints perfectly out of Crackerjack. I am thinking that during the distilling process there is a preference set that is creating this, for lack of a better word, halo around these images. Has anyone out there in PDF 'land' had a similar experience?

"Can anyone provide details on a Word document gone bad. It is just a two-page Word document with graphics/text combined. When it gets to PDF, and the file is opened there are error messages. "there was an error processing a page. Too few operands" "unrecognized token "301" was found (114)"" ***************************************************************************8 These graphics are detailed engineering drawings and there is only one per page. Symptoms Its important to mention that the file ALWAYS opened properly from my hard disk, and the error message was only happening when the document was on the web - when using the netscape plugin to open the file. Resolution Instead of using the "make pdf" button or "Create Adobe PDF" File menu option, I simply did a FilePrint command, and I adjusted the resolution Properties for PDF Writer to 600dpi from 300dpi. This fixed the problem, and all the nasty error messages went away. If anyone has a detailed explanation about this, I'd appreciate it more info. _____________________________________ Kevin Farrell Lucent Technologies Electronic Media Networked Services (EMNS) voice: 630.224.6890 email: mailto:kfarrell@lucent.com pager: 630.680.6367 text page: http://paging.acswireless.com/send.html (use pager number 630.680.6367) _____________________________________ _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 21-Aug-1998 14:25:24-GMT,2131;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA01515 for ; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 08:25:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA09098; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 08:58:38 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 21 Aug 1998 08:51:56 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA08718; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 08:51:54 -0500 From: Laurie_Coyne@mail.amsinc.com X-Lotus-FromDomain: AMSINC To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Message-ID: <85256667.004B25A2.00@ams-central-gate-5a.amsinc.com> Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 09:48:14 -0400 Subject: [PDF] Navigation in Acrobat Exhange Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== I am creating navigation buttons in Acrobat Exchange that allows users to go to the next page which is often being called to open another file. Wihtin Exchange when you test the link I recieve an Acroex32 error (Porgam has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down). When I test the file within Acrobat Reader it will open the file with no problem, although even when you test multiple links within the Reader I will receive this same error message. Is there a fix for this problem ? Can Exchanges form-button function work well enough to implement these navigational buttons across 700+ documents.

My guess: you are placing cross-document navigation on a MOUSE DOWN action. For practical and esthetic reasons this should be on a MOUSE UP action. (Well, esthetic reasons if it's a button. If it's a link, MOUSE DOWN would be more obvious, but nevertheless only MOUSE UP will work).

Aandi Inston listed some good reasons, and I want to expand upon his fourth point, about automated workflow systems. If the "printer" were passed PDF directly, it would mean that you could have a really cool back-end system that would do all sorts of manipulation to the PDF files. I worked for a company that produced a system that would collect, trap, impose, and plot multiple PostScript files. If you had PDF files in the "printer", you could do PDF trapping and imposing and also do all of those things which you do with PDF now. You could also view the result in Adobe Acrobat before finally plotting, and it would all be so much more open than the current black-boxes such as PostScript in-rip trapping. Instead of queuing a bunch of PostScript files, you could queue PDF files, and if you want to view or edit the fifth job in line before it outputs, you could operate directly upon the queued PDF file. The possibilities abound.

They can just copy, paste and translate. "Portuguese to English" and "English to Portuguese" are included. Other languages include French, German, Spanish and Italian. You and/or he will end up with rather pidgeon communications but it's a start for the impatient. I have now included a translator link on the home page of my website where they can find some basic PDF information. Hope that helps, C.

There are currently many topics in the vendor's pipelines, others are available but haven't really reached a significant market share yet. Since my "PostScript and Acrobat Bible" (as the German edition is called) is aimed at long-term usability, I don't want to rush after every software update, but instead provide basic information and thorough explanations -- spiced up with comments on software implementations. Only the latter is slowly getting out of date, with the bulk of the material still useful. Since I want to achieve a similar long-term goal with a possible second edition, a very long preparation period is necessary for researching and digesting the new material, and gaining the practical insights needed. Besides, my other book "Web Publishing with Acrobat/PDF" is hot of the press and will hopefully satisfy the prospective PDF publisher for quite a while...

My guess: On the PC some other version of the respective font is being used (happens easily even from one Mac to another): eg. using especially Helvetica (or one of the other 14 standard Acrobat fonts Times, Courier, Symbol, Zapf Dingbats) you may often see horizontally 'dancing' characters, as the character positioning/width information in different versions of the same font may differ. This can also happen, if your workstation (or the device being used for printing) has the same font (but a different version) active: in that case that font will be used instead of the one being embedded. That brings another thought to my mind: What I said so far applies if you embedded the fonts. If you did not embed the fonts they either - will have been substituted for printing by the Acrobat/ATM simulation fonts AdobeSansMM/AdobeSerifMM, which will give results different from what you are seeing on your machine (where the 'real' font probably is active) - or the PC (or printing device) happens to have the same font (but different version) active and happily uses that one for output... One important thing: This is not by itself a Mac vs. PC issue but a one workstation system vs. some other workstation system (and possibly even some other printing device) issue.

I am also using the Adobe PS printer driver 4.1. The brochures are written exclusively using Arial except for symbols and a company logo font. I have set up the Adobe PS printer driver to substitute Helvetica for Arial and have specified Arial on the Never Embed List in distiller job options. The Embed All Fonts checkbox is cleared and Helvetica appears in both the Always Embed List and the User Fonts List. Often, when I create a PDF from such a file, the font substitution does not take place. The text looks fuzzy on the screen and I cannot select it using the TouchUp text tool in Exchange. I assume that Arial is being embedded rather than substituted with Helvetica. The PDF prints fine but looks lousy on the screen. Since these brochures need are going to appear on my company's website they have to look good on the screen. When I repeat the process without changing anything, the results are fine, with Helvetica replacing Arial. Sometimes I have to redistill the same Word document three or four times before it works. Does anyone know how I can exorcise the gremlins from my distiller so it will work the same (and properly) every time? By the way, selecting "Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType fonts" in the Fonts tab of the Adobe PS printer driver seems to solve the problem, but I lose my symbols and logo. I haven't tried this often enough to be sure that it always works, and it isn't a viable option anyway. _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 23-Aug-1998 13:44:04-GMT,2509;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA19796 for ; Sun, 23 Aug 1998 07:44:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA18426; Sun, 23 Aug 1998 08:27:28 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sun, 23 Aug 1998 08:26:05 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA18365; Sun, 23 Aug 1998 08:26:03 -0500 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Gremlins in my Distiller?

The client created PDFs using the Adobe PDFwriter purchased from the Adobe web site, and enabled font-subsetting. WordPerfect, PDFwriter and font subsetting are all problems when it come to printing, so it's no surprise we had problems. It's not clear which of the three dragons to blame. Like you, the files looked fine on both Mac and PC. Printing from PC there were 'kerning' problems, and from the Mac there were 'special character' encoding problems upon outputting. For imposition and imagesetting, the workaround was exporting PS from a Mac. For Docutech, the only escape was exporting EPS and placing these in a layout program. SO, to protect printing ease, we avoid PDFwriter and font subsetting. I hope this helps, and I'd be grateful for any comments on these workflows.

It notes that PDF Writer is "a non-PostScript printer driver..." The comment is made in the context of using PDF files for output to high end PostScript devices, imagesetters included; the article recommends against using PDF Writer for such purposes. Presumably PDF Writer produces PDFs that are lacking in the detailed information needed to assure accurate printing on all devices. Adobe suggests in the Exchange documentation that PDF Writer is best suited for quick generation of PDF files for on-screen display or simple information dissemination. Keith E.

I would agree. >I hope this helps, and I'd be grateful for any comments on these workflows. ---- We too print PDF's to DocuTechs/DocuColors many times it being from Word on the PC, and always created off site and the PDF's e-mailed/ftp'd to us. We have had great success using Distiller (and not subsetting) to fix all of our current PDF Writer troubles. Our clients have loved the ease and worry-freeness that Distiller has created, and with a 4 page pdf manual I created with screen shots from the Mac, automating Distiller on a 95 station is as easy as falling off a log. NT? Not quite as smooth and use a different setup, (unfortunately this one is more technical in nature) but the end result is the same, Distiller doing its thing in the background, all you do is print.

Scott Miller >> >What is the $30 driver all about? > >Randall M Randall - Adobe occasionally bundles an introductory package of Acrobat components for newbies to try out creating PDFs - it includes Reader (which is freely downloadable anyway) and the PDFWriter driver (which is otherwise only available when bundled with other Adobe products). It is more appropriate for the MS Office or word processing user than it is the serious postscript/eps mavens who populate this user forum. Whether $30 is inexpensive or not depends upon your eventual use of the conversion result. It could be very expensive if you have to backtrack and do the conversion over in Distiller or it could mislead the newbie about what PDF is or could be. In general, it is better to buy the full Acrobat package and explore PDFWriter as one of several conversion options. C.

What does PCL stand for? Also, we are continuing to have problems with printing pages that have screen captures to our HP 5si and 4 si printers.

I just spent my day testing various settings for PhotoShop, FrameMaker, and Distiller in an attempt to arrive at a liveable solution for viewing and printing PDF pages with screen captures. Unfortunately, I'm not happy with any of the results, the text in the screens remains too blurry even when zoomed and when printed the screens are not legible (HP LaserJet 5si). Yes, I absolutely agree with the following: >Adobe's "fix" is not really acceptable. I cannot afford the time to change >the resolution of my screen, the colors used, etc. every time I want to take a >screen shot. (almost every second page has a screen shot) I tried all of the suggestions provided to me by the PDF@lists and Adobe's CustomerFirst. Specifically, I performed the following: set my system fonts to large and system res to 800X600 left the screen captures at 300 dpi before placing them in FrameMaker tested increasing the dpi to 600 resized all screen captures in Photoshop changed the indexed color to RGB before modifying the images left the images as RGB and tried saving as indexed and grayscale tested sharpening the images one to two times tried increasing the resolution to 600 dpi and then reducing it to 300 dpi or 96 dpi left the image "as is" deselected all downsampling and compression schemes, except for compress text and line art increased magnification in Exchange The only screen capture that viewed and printed well was the "as is" image--not resized, no resolution or color change (viewed at at 1:1 ratio). However, if we leave all our screen captures at their original sizes, our pdf files will be huge and navigation will be difficult! Our division uses FrameMaker for all of our documentation, so it is paramount that we can find a good solution for producing high quality online documentation with screen captures. I hope either someone has found a solution, or Adobe is working diligently to resolve this dilemma. --Karen P.S. I'm using Windows 95, FrameMaker 5.5, Acrobat 3.01 with Distiller 3.02, and I've tried several capturing programs: CaptureEase, SnagIt32 4.2, CaptureProfessional, Corel Capture 8.0, and standard Windows print screen. _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 24-Aug-1998 14:11:47-GMT,2000;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA12798 for ; Mon, 24 Aug 1998 08:11:46 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA05142; Mon, 24 Aug 1998 08:36:01 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 24 Aug 1998 08:33:30 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA04917; Mon, 24 Aug 1998 08:33:28 -0500 Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 08:34:35 -0500 Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <199808220214.TAA08089@condor.prod.itd.earthlink.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: MagNet Internet Dept Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF $30 print driver ???

The size of the screenshots (as viewed/placed in the document) should have no effect on the size of the PDF. And if you leave them as indexed color, you can predict their original size fairly precisely: PixelsWide x PixelsHigh x 1 byte + a wee bit of overhead. Screenshots like this generally compress down to very small sizes with no loss of detail/quality whatever if you choose a lossless compression methods in Acrobat (ZIP 8 for instance). They should then print well to PS printers; I avoid PCL so I can't say much as to the ins and outs of how various versions of Acrobat print to them. As to screen display, there's a fundamental problem here: you need, if I understand you correctly, to display an 800x600 pixel screen capture at some size smaller than 800 x 600 pixels when viewed in Reader/Exchange. To do that, Acrobat has to somehow scale the image down to fit the allotted screen area, and therein lies the problem. Perhaps the images would look better (and probably display much more slowly ... no free lunch) if Acrobat subsampled them using a more sophisticated method, but it seems not to. Instead, it appears to toss pixels as needed to get the image down to size ... that doesn't harm some images all that much, but it plays hob with the text in screen shots, which is likely to be one pixel wide in the stems. Toss out that particular batch of pixels and whoops, there goes your text!

As a test, I wrote a simple C++ program that successfully receives input from a PDF/FDF form, modifies the data, and sends output back to it (using Fdftk.dll). When I do this, Acroreader is contained within the browser window. 2. In our actual application, however, we only need to send data one way -- *to* the printable form. Also, we would prefer to use Active Server Page technology for this project. So, I created an Active Server Component (with VB 5.0), using the ActiveX version of the FDF Toolkit (Fdfacx.dll). Launching from an Active Server Page, I can make the component programmatically set field values, link the FDF to a PDF [via FDFSetFile()], and can redirect the browser to display the resulting FDF (using the ASP Response Object's Redirect method). This time, however, Acroread displays independently -- *outside* of the browser window. (BTW, I had to manually enter the file type association for the application/vnd.fdf MIME type). How can I get the second example to display the output *within* the browser window? The browsers (both MSIE 4.x and Netscape 4.x) "know" to display a PDF file within the browser window but treat the FDF file as just some other file extension that requires an external application (Acroread). If I could find some way to cause the FDF data to be imported *into* the PDF, I could then redirect the browser to the PDF, rather than the FDF; then, the browser would know how to use the plugin/ActiveX control mechanism that integrates the browser and Acroread.

But if the source PDF has bookmarks, they are deleted too and don't appear in the 2nd gen. PDF. Might've been my disrtiller settings, though. Win some, lose some. (BTW, whose terminology IS "refry", anyway?) Re your question, I'm not sure I understand what it is you want to know. Why does - what - work part of the time? The ability to refry? File size reduction? No loss of apostrophes or commas? Also, please explain what you mean by "illegal". What law is it that says so? I didn't see anything in Adobe's license agreement (yeah, I actually read it) about how you can use the software on your own machine. You can't re-engineer it to uncover the code, you can't put it on two machines, etc., but nothing about how you can use it. While I would support a statement from Adobe that they don't support this procedure and if anything goes wrong they're not responsible, I'd be really surprised if there is any law giving them the right to tell us that we're not allowed print a PDF to a PS and then re-distill. Especially since they included that capability in the software. Sounds like tech support has been told to say that because Adobe either doesn't want to or cannot "officially" support it. Who cares if they support it or not? Adobe told me they didn't support FM5.1.2 on NT4, but it worked fine. Not just for me, lots of Framers reported on the framers email list that it worked fine for them too. Then I found out that Adobe knew it worked fine but they just couldn't SAY they supported it becuase it wasn't on some list of NT4 supported apps at - you guessed it - Microsoft. And I'll keep what I'm thinking about MS and honesty to myself. There's a lot of s/w out there that "isn't officially supposed to be able to do xxxx" but it does. The capability was built in by the developers and it works fine, but then some Marketeer decides that they should not support it because it'll cost more money or some such excuse. So the company's policy becomes "we don't support that", no matter whether the s/w does or not. BTW, this is my first-hand experience at companies I've worked for. -dg ---------- From: Nathan Keller [SMTP:NATHANK@CGF.ORG] Sent: Monday, August 24, 1998 5:59 PM To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Cc: acrobat@blueworld.com Subject: [PDF] "Re-frying" pdfs ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== True Confession: We re-fry PDFs.

You are a Bad Person. However, your practice, while shameful, is nonetheless often necessary for PDF/Normal conversions. Like you, we have realized file size improvements nothing short of dramatic with this method. Why Adobe has decided to non-support this practice is beyond me (as well). > After seeking > help from a variety of sources including Adobe themselves, we were > encouraged to stop however, we can't. File sizes are > decreased 20 to 40% > when we re-fry. It's like an addiction, I know. We can't stop either. We'd LIKE to stop, but we can't. Mainly, because a Captured PDF/Normal file (often intended for the web) MUST be as small as possible. > Re-frying works more than 50% of the time > without a loss of > apostrophes or commas. > > Why does it work part of the time and not all the time? Please no > theorizing. Full and knowledgeable answers only. Using the Adobe PS driver appears to cut down on these problems. I also suggest NOT downsampling images (if there are any) in PDFWriter. Use Distiller to perform all your downsampling. If you are currently using the Capture default setting for ACD output - don't! Use the PDFWriter settings instead. Also, if you are using inserted graphics, insert them the output resolution. "Full & knowledgeable answers" -- ha! Adobe doesn't have them, so why should the denizens of this list? Just kidding. Aandi, help us out here! BTW, "re-frying"? Nah.

The problem showed up even though all fonts were definitely embedded in the pdf. I never use PDF writer - only Distiller and the Acrobat PPD in the chooser and Quark print dialogue for creating the .ps file. The kerning problem is erratic, only occasional, & so far, unpredictable. So far, I don't see a condition that the problem instances have in common either in the pdf or in the Quark original. New development: I noticed that on one of the problem pages from the client's pc printout (a networked HP 5 printer), the image area appeared smaller than the mac output I created in both the Quark doc and the pdf, (which are identical sizes on my system) I asked client, who found in his print setup that the "shrink to fit" box was enabled. He turned it off. I haven't seen the result yet, but he said the kerning problem on that particular page was now gone. In the pdf, I looked up the print dialogue > pop up menu > Acrobat exchange and there is a shrink to fit box there, but it was not enabled. I guess this is client controlled?? In any case, I don't see why that should make a difference. How can individual letters move around once the pdf has been distilled - no matter what size it is printed at? Why does that cause a problem? Olaf suggested that different versions of the same font in different systems can make the characters "dance" horizontally. - even if the font was embedded. If that is true, it is a scarey point. What is the point of embedding, then, to protect the integrity of the fontdesign, if conditions in the user's system can alter the appearance. Doesn't that undermine the entire basic concept? In any case, In this instance, it doesnt' apply - I used a postscript type 1 font the client doesn't have. I try to do that as a matter of course to avoid any problems that might arise from Type 1/TT confusion in different versions of the basic font set in the printers. In making pdfs from client produced documents, the TT/type 1 ps fonts with the same name were causing creation problems. (A problem Adobe has noted - see below) So I avoid them totally. BTW, the font size was a whole number, point wise. Gordon Kent (Internet Publishing with Acrobat, p. 100) says that the Postscript type 1 fonts with fractional sizes (e.g. 10.5 pt, instead of 10 or 11) cause problems by stretching Acrobat's algorhythms, whatever that means. He says that Postscript Type 1 fonts produce faster loading, smaller Acrobat files than other kinds of fonts. So far, it looks like it's the shrink to fit on the client's box. (?) In other circumstances, this would be an enviable problem, I think... to have to shrink to fit! ps: this note I saved - but don't know from where. I forgot to reference it (it's probably from this list.) We strongly support your observation that problems do occur when both TrueType and Type 1 fonts with the same NAME are installed on a single system. The symptoms you report above are very real and do occur. This is generally a problem on the Macintosh due to Apple's insistence on shipping TrueType versions of Courier, Times, Helvetica, Palatino, and Symbol. Anyone using Adobe PostScript printing on a Macintosh should install ATM (Adobe Type Manager) with the Type 1 versions of these fonts after having deleted the TrueType font suitcases of TrueType Courier, Times, Helvetica, Palatino, and Symbol. This needs to be done on any new Macintosh or after ANY MacOS upgrade! Note that ATM and base fonts ship with all Adobe PostScript 3 printers these days. - Dov Isaacs Director of Technology Analysis Printing & Systems Division Adobe Systems Incorporated _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 25-Aug-1998 5:30:14-GMT,2114;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA04906 for ; Mon, 24 Aug 1998 23:30:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA22672; Tue, 25 Aug 1998 00:15:09 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 25 Aug 1998 00:13:41 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA22568; Tue, 25 Aug 1998 00:13:39 -0500 Message-ID: <003001bdcfe6$fe743be0$370d9fcf@default> From: "Jim and Marguerite Ripley" To: Subject: Re: [PDF] "Re-frying" pdfs Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 22:12:00 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2120.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2120.0 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Interesting concept.

The command-line options listed by calling Acrobat with the -helpall flag state that Xresources can be specified using the following command line format: acroread -xrm e.g. acroread -xrm "*MaxOpenDocuments: 1" I have tried using this method to set "*MaxOpenDocuments", but this seems to have no effect.

BTW, this is my first-hand experience at >companies I've worked for. Sometimes it's simpler than that. Our software won't work under Windows NT 3.5x as it comes out of the box because it relies on TAPI modem dialing, and 3.5x doesn't come with that. Somebody else's app might have installed TAPI drivers, in which case it might work or it might not. Since there's no way we can predict that and since the app is targeted at very naive users among others, we chose not to support NT 3.5x, even though in other respects the app would be quite usable under it. Since we don't have the resources to support it, we can't.

Save the file to Postscript in a Quark document. We then distill to PDF using the default settings for Web viewing. When we open the PDF in Reader you can see the CYMK color image paint but it then disappears as the black bitmap appears. When you enlarge the PDF to 800% you can see color but at same size and other enlargements it does not appear. Also, when we send the PDF to print the file prints OK with the color printing correctly. We have tried to change the layering in the Illustrator file and have adjusted settings in the distiller options but have not been able to get the file to display properly at any size other than 800%. Is this another Acrobat bug? We have numerous occasions where this workflow is required and would appreciate any suggestions.

One of my uses for PDF is to turn quark layouts (fractional page ads) into EPS files with fonts converted to outlines. The distilling process acts to simplify and/or preflight the postscript. The final step is to open the PDF in Illustrator and convert the fonts. I have found that about 50% of the time a PDF file, distilled from a print-to-disk file, and opened by AI (7.0.1 on Mac), it will be missing one or more 4/C tiffs (yet an empty frame will be in it's place). Yet if a PDF is distilled from a "Save Page As EPS" file, all tiffs are included when AI opens the PDF. Both PDF files *look* fine and identical in Exchange however. This has got to be a parsing bug in AI or somehow related to the Laserwriter driver. I have given Adobe all the infomation and sample files, yet I haven't heard any feedback yet.

To resolve their problem with printing PDF to a PCL printer, we would like to recommend them to upgrade Acrobat Reader to version 3.01RA. But when we tested upgrade from Reader with search 3.01 to 3.01RA, we received this mesage during installation: "Unable to update Acrobat Reader. The file on your system does not match the original Acrobat 3.01 file expected and it cannot be updated." Does it mean that it is not possible to upgrade if you are using Acrobat Reader with Search? Is this upgrade available only when you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01 without Search?

As a result I am beginning to wonder whether what is produced is _really_ linearized. The area I'm seeing problems in is the dictionary at the start of the Primary Hint Stream. According to the spec (and common sense) this dictionary _must_ always contain entries for both the Page Offset hint table and the Shared Objects hint table, with the other entries being required only if the particular features are used. In all cases I have looked at, the Primary Hint Stream dictionary does contain a /S entry (Shared Objects) but does not have the mandatory /P entry (Page Offset). All have simple, 3 entry Info dictionaries (in the "linearized" files) but do not have /I entries (Info dictionary) although they should. I haven't got round to writing a bit of code to let me remove the flate compression from the Primary Hint Stream so I can see what's actually inside it but I might - unless anyone knows of an existing tool? This occurs when Exchange is applied to files produced by Distiller, from PostScript output from one of our own applications, but also when it is applied to PDF files directly produced by another of our own applications. Can anyone else shed any light on this? Is it Exchange or the spec that is wrong - or me? I can provide before and after files if anyone wishes to see them - mail me. I've just joined the list so if this has been covered before, I apologise - although I did check through the thread index and much of the postings in the PDF and PDFdev archive but couldn't see anything. Separately - does anyone know of other software which does linearization (without using Exchange to do it)?

Non-default page sizes may not work. 2. XPress will not embed fonts in an EPS. 3. It is hard work for a multi-page document. Distiller works more like a printer than a graphics application. This usually arises from using "EPS" as a generic term for "PostScript in a file"; but that is wrong, EPS is something special. See http://www.quite.com/ps/eps1.htm for some words about EPS files in general.

As the good file is showing PostScript fonts as the original fonts, I suppose that the font substitutions are being made by Acrobat PS printer driver and/or Distiller Assistant. If I have a chance I will try to print to PS file and distil so as to bypass Distiller Assistant and see what happens. I woulsn't want to have to work that way all the time, however since Distiller Assistant does sve considerable time. Thanks for any advice.

It appeared to upgrade successfully but now when I print from Exchange 3.01, about 2 out of 3 times I get a crash with an "Integer divide by zero" message box about the point that it finishes the print processing. You do actually get your entire output although it appears to be still spooling at the point it crashes. This is when printing to PCL under NT4 - I haven't tried it to anything else as the print server's down for upgrading and the HP4SI is the only printer I can target at the moment. I've warned my company not to upgrade until I can find out more. Any other gremlins in the upgrade?

Yes, this fix did dramatically improve the quality of printed screen captures from a PDF file to a PCL printer. I also tested printing the same pages to a PostScript printer and it produced the best results so far. Rob, I asked you for a definition of PCL and you responded that you could not recall what it stood for. I found a site that provides definitions for both PCL and PostScript and thought I'd share this with everyone: PCL - Hewlett-Packard's Printer Control Language. PCL defines a standard set of commands enabling applications to communicate with HP or HP-compatible printers. PostScript? - A standard page description language for desktop computers developed by Adobe Systems, Inc. It describes type, graphics and halftones as well as the placement of each on the page. If you need PostScript?, buy a printer that has built-in PostScript?. If your printer doesn't have built-in PostScript?, you may be able to get an external software interpreter. But that interpreter will slow down your printer and tie up your computer while printing. --Karen _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 27-Aug-1998 20:09:35-GMT,1936;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA10756 for ; Thu, 27 Aug 1998 14:09:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA14883; Thu, 27 Aug 1998 14:50:01 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 27 Aug 1998 14:48:43 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA14769; Thu, 27 Aug 1998 14:48:40 -0500 Message-ID: <000601bdd1f3$90b9dd80$3b0d9fcf@default> From: "Jim and Marguerite Ripley" To: Subject: [PDF] PDF FILE SIZE Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1998 12:47:11 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2120.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2120.0 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== "It is elementary my dear Watson."

No. Be sure that you understand that byteserving is not a way to show only selected pages from a file. It is a way to show PDF files FASTER by showing them as soon as a page can be downloaded, rather than waiting for the whole file.

We have already done that many times (check http://hgc.baz.ch/ for an example). Use "Go to view" for your links and weblinks if you need a link to an URL (for instance, a link to an html page). You just have to pay attention to the following: 1. your pdf files must be optimized, 2. you should use a web server allowing byte serving (it sends only one page at a time), 3. your end users should use either Netscape 3.0 or higher, or IE 4.0 ( don't forget to install the adobe ocx for IE 4.0) 4. your end users should use Acrobat Reader 3.01 (or Exchange 3.01) Hope it helps, Yannick Wolf PDF Team BMG ComServ AG y.wolf@baz.ch PS: By the way, here are the configurations that I have tested: - Win NT 4sp3, Exchange 3.01, Netscape 4.03 - Win NT 4sp3, Exchange 3.01, IE 4.0 + new ocx from Adobe - Win 95, Exchange 3.01, Netscape 3.0 - Win 95, Exchange 3.01, IE 3.02 You wrote: ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1998 08:33:30 -0400 From: "Czajka, Mark" Subject: [PDF] taking PDF files (with links) from CD to Web ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Could anyone direct me to a web site or book that explains how to take PDF files that are linked together (via bookmarks and hyperlinks) from a CD-ROM to the web (or an Intranet).

In C or Pascal (Win32), free or commercial. The library that just about everybody uses is ZLIB, which is a copyright but essentially free library, even for commercial use (for full details see the readme included in the distribution), that implements Flate encode and decode (Flate is also known as ZIP compression). The best place to start is at: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ where you will find links to documentation, ports of the library for many programming languages and OS's and even DLL implementations as well as much other information. Happy coding!

I did miss the most important article. Actually I did read the article but did NOT understand that article until you sent it to me. But, thanks to you, I re-read it and now it makes more sense. If fact, it even lists the server software that has this function built in! Also, your comment about byteserve being a delivery technology over the web, explains why I cannot test it from my ZIP drive. My customer is using the Microsoft server software, and the link you gave me took me to that software. There is a bug and a patch to fix the software, and I passed on a link to the Microsoft software to my customer. Thanks for the clarification on the Solaris, I guess that is a UNIX operating system. My ISP tech support gave me that name. I was using my own account to test out this byteserve stuff, but now must move over to my customer's account as I do not have the disk space to test these large files. Whew!

I posted about this before, but I have since tried a couple of things, and seen problems go away and then return. I'm also posting this to the Capture group, but this group definitely sees more traffic from 'experienced' types. 1) takes too long to convert images - typically (on 'most accurate' setting) 2- 8 minutes, on 300DPI G4TIFF images - which I had successfully been converting wth Capture for months, same accuracy setting, same dpi, same machine, same version of Capture: but much faster - a minute or less. One variable that comes to mind though is that along the way I installed the 'upgrade' to 2.01, which yesterday I uninstalled, then reinstalled the older 2.0 - the version that successfully processed so many images for me. 2) crashes when processing with 'collate by common prefix' checked (and it has to combine more than about 2 pages), but not when it's UNchecked. Again, I did this successfully for a couple of months under pretty much the same conditions, descibed above, and with pretty large documents (up to 100 or more pages - I know that's not huge, but ..). This makes me wonder about swap space, or temp space that the program must use to store info before writing the combined PDF. I found a config file 'cap_pi' in the Windows directory which points correctly to a temp directory that DOES exist. dunno .. Another variable I can think of was that we started processing some larger doc's (200-500 pages) and piling a lot of images in Capture's 'In' basket - up to 2,000 or more at a time. Does Capture take an 'inventory' of what's there, before it starts processing? I notice it takes a looooong time for Cap Server to start up when there are more than a couple of hundred images in the Inbasket, and when it's 1,000 or more it makes you think the program has crashed - then sure enough, it eventually starts processing. The maching we're currently using is P233, 64MB RAM, 4GB HDD, usually disconnected from network when processing. Any insight would help - thanks Mark Mark Stephenson SoftWare Engineer Syracuse Research Corporation (315) 452-8305 mastephenson@syrres.com _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 28-Aug-1998 16:59:47-GMT,3061;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA08172 for ; Fri, 28 Aug 1998 10:59:45 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA15374; Fri, 28 Aug 1998 11:44:08 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 28 Aug 1998 11:42:53 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA15197; Fri, 28 Aug 1998 11:42:52 -0500 Message-ID: <35E6DE44.7808E9A9@tsi-net.com> Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1998 09:43:48 -0700 From: Russell Hansberry X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] Adobe Capture & Bar Codes References: <199808272342.QAA21609@stork.prod.itd.earthlink.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Not that I know much about this, but some bar codes have their contents printed in text just below the bar code.

To resolve their problem with printing PDF to a PCL printer, we would like to recommend them to upgrade Acrobat Reader to version 3.01RA. But when we tested upgrade from Reader with search 3.01 to 3.01RA, we received this mesage during installation: "Unable to update Acrobat Reader. The file on your system does not match the original Acrobat 3.01 file expected and it cannot be updated." Does it mean that it is not possible to upgrade if you are using Acrobat Reader with Search? Is this upgrade available only when you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01 without Search? In the readme file concerning this update is written: ..."This update provides no other repairs, enhancements, or functionality...." I'd be gratefull for any comments.

This document guides you through the basic steps of producing high-quality PDF files for high-resolution output. It focuses mainly on the composite PDF workflow, but it also provides some basic information about the pros and cons of a preseparated PDF workflow. It explains the importance of producing good PostScript files for distilling (creating PDF files) and describes how to do this. The document also walks you through key Job Options in Acrobat Distiller, and offers some baseline recommendations that will ensure optimal PDF files.

Thanks again, Neal _______________________________________________________ -> NEW - searchable archive of the PDF discussion list <-- * http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf/ * + Acrobat PDF Webring http://www.pdfzone.com/webring/ + _______________________________________________________ 31-Aug-1998 8:52:05-GMT,1902;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA20049 for ; Mon, 31 Aug 1998 02:52:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA11185; Mon, 31 Aug 1998 03:35:36 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 31 Aug 1998 03:31:06 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA11017; Mon, 31 Aug 1998 03:31:04 -0500 Message-Id: <98Aug31.103044gmt+0200.22405-1@baz-s-fw.baz.ch> From: Yannick Wolf To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Cc: "'alindsay@mailman.epnet.com'" Subject: [PDF] Re:Adobe OCX for IE 4.0 Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 10:29:55 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com URL: The PDFzone - 'All Things PDF' http://www.pdfzone.com/ Registration: Sub/Unsub http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html Contact: List Administrator mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Hi Andy, You will find all the information you need under : http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/ocxreader.html You have to install this ocx AFTER you have installed the 3.01 Acrobat Reader. In fact, you should execute two setups: 1- Acrobat Reader 3.01, 2- ActiveX Update for IE 4.0.

I was printing to ps in I6 on hp-ux 10.x. But I was distilling with 3.01 on win95. In addition to the defects noted, the text was not searchable. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [PDF] Distilling Interleaf Documents Author: "Mera; Jose" at Internet_Gateway Date: 8/26/98 8:26 PM ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== We have a customer who is converting Interleaf 6 files to PDF, and is running into major inconsistency problems. They are outputting PS files and then distilling them. There are several issues: 1. Results are inconsistent. PDFs don't always look the same for the same document. 2. Many fonts are gibberish. When using the text tool and checking the font, it shows all types of weird characters. 3. At times text is white on white background Any help with how to achieve consistent results is appreciated. Adobe points to Interleaf and Interleaf has been no help. Jose Mera DocMaestro Business Area Manager Alliant Techsystems, Inc. 13133 34th Street N.
