It is only when it is opened via the link in the web page that the pages are blank. I have checked the link's properties and found nothing wrong. I have also re-established the link without results.

We are experiencing an indexing problem. We have converted 3 books into 1 CD ROM. We have a file structure that looks like this: Folders 1, 2 and 3 are on the same directory level within Explorer, but within the layout of the conversion project, folders 2 and 3 are within folder 1. For example, you can get to folders 2 and 3 after opening up folder 1. All files within the 3 folders have the same index file (.pdx) attached to them. During the build, we have added all 3 folders to the same index file..... After indexing is built....and the search function is run, the index shows up more than one time during separate searches (but appears no more than two times). Is this happening because folders 2 and 3 should have been subdirectories of 1 within the Explorer structure. We are using WIN 95, Exchange 3.01. Thanks for any help!

I would start by verifying that everyone is using the same fonts (not just same name as there are TrueType fonts with the same name as Type 1 fonts). If you're using Type 1 fonts, make sure everyone has the same version of ATM installed and configured properly. I would then check to make sure Frame isn't doing any font substitutions (check the Frame console if it comes up.) I would also check to verify that everyone has Distiller set up the same way so that you aren't sub-sampling, not downsampling. Also, verify that everyone is embedding the fonts and not subsetting them either. The printing problems mentioned may be due to non-PS printers being used. Get the 3.01RA update for Reader/Exchange from Adobe's Web site. Also, make sure everyone has the same preferences checked in Reader/Exchange. > ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== > > We made the change from Adobe PageMaker to Adobe FrameMaker several months > ago in our documentation area.

When a pdf is made, the fit page view shows white areas around each of the images, but as the zoom level is increased, the white space disappears. What is the solution to remove the white area in all views? Process: Using either ppd- acrobat distiller, or adobe postscript 4 - and various resolution settings in distiller. The problem seems to be resolution based - as I've been able to make the white space around some of the images go away... but not all.

My question was, are there any practical limitations to publishing a 300mb+ pdf file based on tiff images on a CD-ROM. There were few answers, but Diedre Paknad noted that although it might work well on newer, faster machines that it probably would choke older machines, especially older Macs. Subsequent to that, I did more testing on older machines, the results of which were: 1. Any Win95 machine with a 486 or better processor and at least 16mb RAM will do "ok". 2. Any WinNT 3.51 or better machine with at least 32mb RAM will do a bit better. 3. Any old Mac running System 7.1 and below, especially Mac IIsi and IIc, will choke! 4. In any case, the large file size degrades performance to some degree. Performance monitoring on machines running these large file sizes shows that RAM and swap can quickly become starved. We abandoned the idea of large file sizes and continue to produce pdfs in reasonable file sizes. What's reasonable? We find that 30mb and below will produce acceptable results on all platforms. The best performance seems to be below 10mb. In developing CD-ROM products like this, time is better spent on building hyperlink systems between files than on optimization of large files. ------------ David M.

I've inherited a PDF file with Web links. Clicking on any link launches a browser, but appends a pair of number to the URL (e.g., http://whereever.com/file.html?6, 100) . The numbers seem to correspond to the position within the text that is clicked, as if these were co-ordinates for some sort of degenerate Imagemap! (The numbers of course do not appear in the Edit URL dialogue box.) What are they, and how can I get rid of them? While some servers will just throw them away, others of course reject the URLs.

What I would like to do is keep these documents separate but be able to combined them on the fly. Here is my example: You go to a web page to setup a bank account. You are asked a series of questions to determine the type of account you will need. For each type of account there is an application. For each additional service you want there is an addendum to the application.

You could also place the original postscript in a database, combine it, and distill it, but that probably just adds a step....

Jeremy, Check out http://www.ep.cs.nott.ac.uk/pdf-pl/ for a Perl 5 module that creates PDF on the fly. I have explored this some myself but not implemented it. Its functionality is limited to text and simple graphics only. David M.

Typically, we would take the three existing files, go into the ASCII code, and remove the start/end of file statements. We would then create a 'container' that includes the start/end file code. That 'container' resembles a mail-merge document. You could then use a system such as Cold Fusion or ASP to insert the ASCII from your existing PDF pages into the 'container' in whatever order was necessary. It's not exactly simple, but it reduces workload if you've got a lot of possible combinations. Ian -----Original Message----- From: Elkins, Jeremy J.

I sent original before confirming my subscription to list, so I'm assuming it was not accepted. Hence retransmission.) We're looking for a simple two-code security system (modeled after the Adobe Type-On-Call system for unlocking font files). Here's our application: Publisher of computer textbooks plans to put the full text of about 30 books on a CD-ROM in the form of PDF files. The disks will be given away to potential customers, who can preview any book on their computer screens but cannot print any pages. Customers wanting large quantities of a book will, in exchange for a site-license fee, be allowed to print the book themselves or have a DocuTech or other service bureau do the job for them. Such customers will need only the CD-ROM plus a book-specific, customer-specific password to open the PDF file for printing. Here are our specific requirements: 1. Same CD to be used on Macintosh and Windows systems. 2. Publisher to supply each book file in PDF format with unique passwords for printing, selecting, and modifying. Publisher to maintain database of passwords for books. 3. Publisher to maintain separate database of customer codes for people who have licensed printing. 4. Each book to appear as icon in CD-ROM window. Double-clicking icon launches Acrobat Viewer and opens file, but with printing, selecting, and modifying disabled. 5. To open file for printing, user launches client security program (contained on CD). Program asks for customer code and code given to customer to allow printing of book; program calculates hidden password for printing and, if OK, opens file in Acrobat Viewer with printing enabled. 6. Print-enabling to be allowed from any computer; only requirements are possession of CD-ROM and knowledge of unique customer code and unique book code for that customer. 7. Separate security program needed by publisher to (a) maintain a small database of hidden passwords for book files, (b) maintain a database of customer codes for legitimate licensees, and (c) calculate (from the hidden password and the customer code supplied by the customer) a book code to give to that customer. Thanks for any help you can give.

The only thing missing from the new doc will be your bookmarks, links, and forms, so the more these you use to add value to your original PDF, the more it will discourage theft. Computer software of all types is the most stolen commodity on the planet; why would your products be any more safe than anyone else's? In the end, the only real protections you have are the copyright laws, but of course you have to be willing to enforce them (and likely spend more $$ in the process than your publication is worth in the first place).

Here's our application: Publisher of computer textbooks plans to put the full text of about 30 books on a CD-ROM in the form of PDF files. The disks will be given away to potential customers, who can preview any book on their computer screens but cannot print any pages. Customers wanting large quantities of a book will, in exchange for a site-license fee, be allowed to print the book themselves or have a DocuTech or other service bureau do the job for them. Such customers will need the same CD-ROM plus a book-specific, customer-specific password to open the PDF file for printing. Here are our specific requirements: 1. Same CD to be used on Macintosh and Windows systems. 2. Publisher to supply each book file in PDF format with unique passwords for printing, selecting, and modifying. Publisher to maintain database of passwords for books. 3. Publisher to maintain separate database of customer codes for people who have licensed printing. 4. Each book to appear as icon in CD-ROM window. Double-clicking icon launches Acrobat Viewer and opens file, but with printing, selecting, and modifying disabled. 5. To open file for printing, user launches client security program (contained on CD). Program asks for customer code and code given to customer to allow printing of book; program calculates hidden password for printing and, if OK, opens file in Acrobat Viewer with printing enabled. 6. Print-enabling to be allowed from any computer; only requirements are possession of CD-ROM and knowledge of unique customer code and unique book code for that customer. 7. Separate security program needed by publisher to (a) maintain a small database of hidden passwords for book files, (b) maintain a database of customer codes for legitimate licensees, and (c) calculate (from the hidden password and the customer code supplied by the customer) a book code to give to that customer.

I know of commercial systems in the $2500 - 5000 range (FileOpen, for example). They are far more complex than we need, and also somewhat inhibiting to the end user, who must always use the same computer or must make an Internet call to print a file.

Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of that and it's a risk/cost we're prepared to bare. Our customers are schools and school districts, and we don't think they are interested in more than their own local needs, which they'll pay for via the site license fee. The fee will vary according to the size of the institution. We want them to be free to print all the copies they want or need at their site. That's the whole idea.

The top and bottom (here, left and right, because it is landscape, right?) margins are not equal. So the printable area is not centred on the page. Acrobat fits in the printable area. On my Epson, there is an option to pick a page size of "letter - centered" or "a4 - centred". This sets both margins equal to the larger - 0.55 inches, and does indeed cause Acrobat to print centred. So, you seem to be seeing normal operation.

I saw FileOpen at Seybold SF a few days ago and am in correspondence with its president. The problem is that security is locked to an individual computer.

All that needs to be said now [and was implied by the others] is this: The printer must have come with at least two pieces of documentation; a cheatsheet with some quick-and-dirty settings [cartridge changes for types of paper, if any; paper sizes and types; and so on] and a full-blown manual. Both should have the "Print Area"/"Printable Area"/"Unprintable Margins" settings listed. The full-blown manual definitely will. Check them out. And then it is a matter of either making the margin settings in your document so that you are not trying to print where the printer don't shine ... er ... print or of using one of them shrink-to-fit or "Print Centered" [with the largest unprintable margin set all around, that is] settings.

I tried a similar experiment, using Corel WordPerfect 8.0. Substitution of printer-resident Times Roman for host-based Times New Roman did properly occur when creating PostScript that is subsequently distilled into PDF. One idea about what "may" be going on. The WordPerfect printing routines have historically tried to outguess the printer drivers, saving and restoring various settings in the data structures passed between the application (i.e., WordPerfect) and the driver (in this case, AdobePS). If at any time, you had the driver set to NOT do that substitution, it is possible that WordPerfect saved that "setting" and restores it temporarily every time you print. Again, I am only guessing about what may be happening based on other peculiar interactions I have personally seen between various versions of WordPerfect and drivers. And also, again, I cannot repeat these symptoms with WordPerfect 8.0. - Dov _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 9-Sep-1998 16:21:21-GMT,2483;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 KAA25094 for ; Wed, 9 Sep 1998 10:21:19 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA20214; Wed, 9 Sep 1998 11:03:21 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 9 Sep 1998 11:00:37 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA19604; Wed, 9 Sep 1998 11:00:33 -0500 X-Sender: john@mail.icac.org X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0.2 Date: Wed, 09 Sep 1998 12:03:20 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: John Mulligan Subject: [PDF] Auto Crop Multiple Pages?

Scanned images seem to be larger than the pages scanned by only about .25" or so but I would really like to make all pages a uniform 8.5" x 11". Up to now I have been going through every PDF page doing this manually with the Document | Crop Pages... command but this is tedious! There must be a better way. Does anyone know of a utility that will do this for me? I would like to be able to say that the top left-hand corner of each page/image is the base point & that anything outside of 8.5" x 11" is to be removed. ScanFix ver 4.0 has a feature that will make all images 8.5" x 11" but it will shrink or stretch the image content to fit. I do not want to alter the image, just remove the excess page size. I can work with either the TIF file or the PDF file - just so long as I can get the final output down to 8.5" x 11"!

It's for a number of different publications on one CD. All should be searchable. Each publication has its own different password, but there is an "all" password that accesses everything. Each time the user starts up Acrobat they have to give a password for each publication (or just the "all" password), but after that it is cached (while Acrobat is running). I think that is basically it. I haven't seen anything out there that does this, and I don't think I have the time to write it myself from scratch (yep, it's a rush). If you know of a product that does this, or something that could be quickly adapted, or ???, please let me know. Direct email is fine.

We are using the 4GL report generator SQR (from sqribe) on an HP-Unix box to make a postscript files of the reports. Running the ps files through the Unix version of distiller produces the PDF files. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any command line option to set the passwords on the generated PDF files from distiller. Talking to Unix-Adobe support confirmed that this is the case. They did point us to the Adobe SDK as a possible solution. I find myself very lost. I know that I should be able to produce a reasonable solution, but I simply don't know very much about Postscript or PDF. The SDK had two sample programs which were in the area of my problem: a password plugin and a rot13 password plugin. However, they were both plug-ins for the Exchange product (which we can't use) and I have no clue as to how to make use of them. Ghostscript has a postscript file, pdf_sec.ps, which handles the password situation from the reading point of view for Ghostscript. I need something in the other direction. Or how to make pdfmark set passwords or somethings. Has anybody else done this before? Any assistance would be appreciated.

We have begun experiencing problems with our fonts when FrameMaker documents are converted to PDF documents. The strange thing is, however, that not all of us are having the problem. When we distill the files, no errors are encountered and the file distills. When you view the PDF file, however, it looks jagged and the screen captures are blurred. These same documents when printed looks absolutely normal at the printer we use, but others at different locations have been experiencing printing problems. The problem also appears when users try to cut and paste out of the PDF document into an application such as Word. The result is a bunch of garbage on the screen. Another person in our group can distill the exact same file and get a perfectly normal PDF document. We are stumped to say the least and would appreciate any experience any of you may have with this situation.

Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d. Thank you. I will send this announcement to pdf-l once a week to let newcomers know of this development. -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 2-Sep-1998 9:20:50-GMT,1931;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 DAA26909 for ; Wed, 2 Sep 1998 03:20:47 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA23561; Wed, 2 Sep 1998 03:51:00 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 2 Sep 1998 03:47:10 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA23357; Wed, 2 Sep 1998 03:47:06 -0500 From: baruch@mercury.co.il X-Lotus-Fromdomain: MERCURY_IL To: PDF-L@emrg.com Message-Id: <42256673.0034E80A.00@lotus-notes> Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1998 11:46:22 +0200 Subject: [PDF] How do I create transparent buttons?

Better still, the "white areas" around the arrow are transparent - any graphic or text behind the white part of the arrow show up through the arrow.

I seem to remember it being discussed sometime in the past couple of years. I've been derelict in keeping up with the list so I don't remember. My question: Is it possible to hyperlink (with an URL) to an anchor in a PDF file? In other words, can I make a URL of the format: http://www.myserver.com/document.pdf#sec1 and have it jump to Section 1 of said PDF like we do with anchors in HTML files. I'm trying here prevent having to convert a bunch of PDFs to HTML docs just so we can hyperlink into them from our knowledge-base application. Thanks for any pointers.

To do this you do have to be able to create the named destinations in the first place and know what these are to use them in your web page. In my case I get MS Word to do this.

I think that there are other "scripts" that create destinations for each page - I create one for each document object such as headings, figures, tables, equations etc. Cheers.

(In case you've been doing time travel much of the year, it's expected to spell out a number of impeachable offenses reportedly committed by President Clinton). The article quotes one of the techies, whose job it will be to prepare a version for Net distribution as soon as the House votes tomorrow, on the question of which format to use (as if they must choose only one, for some reason): _____ - from: http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9809/10/starrbandwidth.idg/ But first Hammersla has to figure out how to make the document Web-ready. Because she has not received a copy -- it is under lock and key by the House Sergeant at Arms -- she doesn't know whether it is in electronic form or on paper. "Obviously if it's in electronic form, we can just put it in HTML and throw it up there," she said. If not, then Hammersla said the document will have to be scanned and put into Portable Document Format (PDF). She said her system is able to scan 30 pages per minute so that will not take too long, but trying to set it up online will be more difficult. "It's hard to know the size of the document or if there's a logical break so that we can offer it in parts," she said. However large each part of the document is, Hammersla admitted that serving up PDF files would weigh on the servers. _____ Personally, I'd be considerably less inclined to read such a massive document page by page on screen, especially if I couldn't search the entire document at once. And if the keepers of the doc think the majority of people would rather read a printed version, is there *really* any doubt which would be the better format? (Obviously, the best solution would be both.) Whad'ya all think -- not about the allegations in the report, but about how such materials should be made available to the public. Clearly PDF isn't always preferable to HTML (or vice versa), but this appears to be a situation where after honestly comparing the strengths of each, the verdict leans toward PDF. And IF so, pdf viewer download sites had best prepare for a major traffic attack! rgds ~ Kurt ---> T h e P D F z o n e <--- "Your Online Hub to All Things PDF" Kurt Foss Internet Communications Mgr 579 D'Onofrio Dr. (608)829-0183 Suite 104 EMAIL: mailto:kfoss@pdfzone.com Madison, WI 53719 WWW: http://www.pdfzone.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Make haste slowly." - CAESAR AUGUSTUS, quoted by Suetonius in Lives of the Caesars - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 6:06:25-GMT,2755;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 AAA19500 for ; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 00:06:24 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA29684; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 00:52:57 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 11 Sep 1998 00:51:34 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA29610; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 00:51:32 -0500 X-Sender: prodok@pop.eunet.ch Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <35F86FB1.934EC77B@earthlink.net> References: <199809100155.SAA15042@mail2.deltanet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 07:37:47 +0200 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Max Wyss Subject: Re: [PDF] Acrobat fields won't print Cc: Scottie 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 <==== Scottie, There are several possibilities why your fields (watch the plural) don't print. It could be that they are not set to be "printable". It could be that their foreground and background colors are not set properly. It could be that some options in your printer driver are not properly set. If it is one single field which does not print (the one you have just entered data into), you have found a feature of Acrobat fields. In order for a field to "take" the entered data, it must be left, either by clicking outside of it or by pressing the Tab or Enter or Return key. Hope, this can help.

I guess the person thought the new version will be called Reader 3.5. Is Adobe planning to provide a new version of the Reader? Many of us would appreciate it because, at present, users of the Reader need to install the Active X fix, the PCL printer fix, and Forms Fillin 3.5. Most of our clients are not computer savvy and resent having to download and install so many files. --Karen gcosimin@adobe.com on 09/10/98 05:25:48 PM Please respond to pdf@lists.pdfzone.com To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com cc: (bcc: Karen L Mibus/NE/KSC/KeyCorp) Subject: Re: [PDF] Re: Acrobat 3.5? ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== I can't find the original question in this thread, but here's a shot at the answer!

The system is stable. I have a Macintosh personal laser printer NT attached. I am trying to print an acrobat 3.0.1 document, last modified October 18, 1995. When I issue the print command, through acrobat, a message appears that eight pages are being spooled, and that it is trying to print. So far, so good. Then I get a message to the effect that it failed to print, see the finder for details. When I click the finder, I am told there was a postscript error. That is all. What could be wrong? What should I do? I am not comfortable with acrobat. It is used for documentation on a number of packages I have bought, and I find it difficult to work with. For one thing, the font size and/or shape is difficult (for me to read. I don't know if this is a problem for everyone, or just me. And the captions and explanations in the pictures are also too small. When I use the general option to change the smoothing?, the readability is marginally, only marginally, improved, but the preference is not saved. Is there a way to copy a pdf file into something more user friendly? I would love to copy pdf files into simpletext, but the pictures would be lost. What is the advantage of pdf? I suspect it is used for medium sales volume software that runs on many platforms, and is a common standard. But what else is good about it? If I had to, I could come up with a dozen things I dislike. If anyone is interested, say from Adobe, I could invest an hour and do so. Thank you. Michael B.

There is a fix on the net; unfortunately, I don't have the URL at hand right now, but I guess someone will come up with it. Otherwise, you could go to Adobe's User to User Forum, Acrobat sections and look through the archives; I originally found the link there. This fix does work for me, printing to a LaserWriter IINT. Look closely to the left bottom of your Acrobat Reader window. You will see there a number followed by a percent sign. Click on this, and you get a menu where you can select the display scale. Set it to - let's say - 150% or 200%. Then you should no longer have the viewing problem. You set the initial opening preference in the General Preferences (Menu Edit > Preferences > General). You also can set the screen size to a smaller size, which will make an individual pixel bigger. This automatically increases the readability of your documents (I know that effect, running a 17" monitor like a 21" screen). Hope, this can help.

The Apple Personal LaserWriter NT has a software bug in it that prevents it from printing any document that has a "Multiple Master" Type 1 font in it. Surprisingly enough, the "faux fonting" capability of Acrobat, i.e., its ability to synthesize serif or sans serif typefaces to match the widths of fonts that are either not in your system or not embedded in the PDF document, depends entirely on use of Multiple Master fonts, the "Adobe Sans" and "Adobe Serif" fonts installed as part of installation of Acrobat or the "free" Acrobat Reader. Apple was offered a fix from Adobe many years ago for this printer. Apple chose not to distribute the fix, but did offer a discount on upgrading the Personal LaserWriter NT to a Personal LaserWriter NTR. Both printers shared the same laser engine, but used a radically different controller board. The NTR also used Adobe PostScript Level 2 - the NT used one of the last versions of Level 1. The workaround would be to see if you can find a used "NTR" controller for your printer at a price lest costly than buying a new printer. - Dov _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 13-Sep-1998 23:14:45-GMT,3091;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 RAA08723 for ; Sun, 13 Sep 1998 17:14:44 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA11683; Sun, 13 Sep 1998 17:58:54 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sun, 13 Sep 1998 17:57:41 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA11634; Sun, 13 Sep 1998 17:57:39 -0500 Message-ID: <35FC5B48.3AB29273@empa.ch> Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 00:54:51 +0100 From: Erwin Widmer Organization: EMPA X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5b1 (Macintosh; I; PPC) X-Accept-Language: de-CH, en-US MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] problem: acrobat not able to print a pdf file.

I therefore think your document was done with Acrobat 2.1. I have no idea why that doesn't print. But I would try the following remedies: 1. Save your PDF document out of Acrobat Reader as a PostScript file and do distill that file again. Maybe that solves your problem. 2. Open your PDF document in PageMaker or an other software which is able to open a PDF document. To open it could solve the PostScript problem. Than you have to save it again and print. 3. If you have a preflight software check your PDF file with it. The preflight software will tell you what the error is and you are able to react.

The thing about Acrobat is that it reproduces the font chosen by the designer, which may be good or bad. Have you tried zooming in a little? Perhaps to 120%?

As others have pointed out, there is a patch you can download to the laser printer every time you turn it on, but you should know that you can also use Acrobat Exchange 3.0 to print, because 3.0 does not have the problem with level 1 devices. Much cheaper than upgrading your laser printer.

The main problem with Interleaf are the fonts and the way to create a PS-File. If you use Interleaf Ver. 5.3/5.4 you have to create a PS-Printer with the printer_install-script. There you can define a print out to a file. Please don´t use the output to EPS. During the installation of the printer you have to select the printer type. Take a "other Postscript printer" and later on choose a PPD-File that is useable for a global PS-file like ULTRA60.PPD or APPLE422.PPD. Restart Interleaf and try out to create the PS-File. Using Interleaf 6.1 or 6.4 on UNIX is a little bit easier. Create a printer, choose print to file, choose PS-Printer and select one of the PPD-Files (see above). Define the coverpage off and the default paper-size. Create the printer and try to print the first PS-file. If you use 6.3 or 6.4 on Win NT there is no problem to create a PDF-File directly out of Interleaf. Select the Distiller 3.0 or 3.01 output (be sure the Distiller Assistant is running) and print out your document. Hope this helps.

Not trying to be funny, but thousands of people are doing this successfully, so it's hard to see where you might be going wrong unless you tell us the symptoms. The basic steps are 1. Open the document in XPress. 2. Print to file using a PostScript printer driver and the Acrobat Distiller PPD. 3. Use Acrobat Distiller to read the file you just wrote and create a PDF file.

Make sure you have Acrobat Distiller PPD selected in your printer setup box. 2. Also check your page size and the page width dimensions, you need to set the width correctly. 3. You can also set items like dpi on this screen. 4. Click on the options box (if on the Mac) and make sure Smooth Graphics is NOT checked. This causes a real problem if this box is checked. Once you have your page setup options set, then click OK and go to Print and print to a file (turn off separations, tiling etc.). Unless everything is set right in Page Setup, you will have trouble with page orientation, bleeds and other items. Then distill your file in Acrobat Distiller. [You may still have some problems when the file is distilled particularly if you used the blending for colors available within Quark. Most of that type of graphic work is best done in Illustrator (or Freehand) and placed as a graphic.] This should work.

That is, if you don't mind all the text being in a text box. For me, this is a real drawback, but it will put the PDF into a Word document, or HTML document. If there are more immediate methods (w/out the RTF middleman) I don't know of them. _____________________________________ Kevin Farrell Lucent Technologies email: mailto:kfarrell@lucent.com _____________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Michael Stearne [mailto:mstearne@eisolutions.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 1998 11:29 AM To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] PDF to Word ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== Is there a conversion script or such for Converting PDFs to Word 97.

Knows bugs: Substantive: - There are three pieces of floating-point rationale that still need to be added. (My e-mail system made garbage out of some MIME stuff, so I've asked Jim to resend.) - The last sentence in 6.5.4 now says The Standard (6.3.1.4) requires that a cast of one floating point type to another (for example, double to float) results in an actual conversion. The reference was probably intended to be 6.3.1.5; but I honestly don't think that 6.3.1.5 actually makes that requirement. (Larry is being patient with me, though, so I might see the light before long. 8-) - I'm not happy with the index. Fixing that will be my background task between now and Santa Cruz. - It doesn't have a proper document number yet. Format: - I haven't yet figured out how to get Word to give me different fonts in the ToC, or how to put the page numbers at the right margin. - There are some tables in the floating-point part that I still have as just columns of text. Rather than have everybody check the whole document, it might be a good idea if folks signed up to check specific parts of the document; that way we won't have a lot of duplication of effort. A possible division might be (from start to one-past-end): - up to clause 6 (~20 pages) - 6 to 6.7 (~35 pages) - 6.7 to 7 (~35 pages) - 7 to 7.18 (~25 pages) - 7.18 to annexes (~25 pages) - annexes to index (~25 pages) Any volunteers? --Bill Seymour (bsey@pobox.com) 15-Sep-1998 22:06:00-GMT,2101;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 QAA13943 for ; Tue, 15 Sep 1998 16:05:59 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA12828; Tue, 15 Sep 1998 16:48:14 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 15 Sep 1998 16:45:48 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA12643; Tue, 15 Sep 1998 16:45:43 -0500 From: "Michael R.

The problem is that certain fonts are totally missing. My specific problem has been with 'Arial MT Black', the font is just missing (I have 'Embed all fonts selected'). If I replace this font with 'Arial [Bold]' the problem goes away. I would use distiller but my client is using True Type fonts...and they need to build a full-text search index.

Check out www. shockrave.com for some of the innovative sites done with it. It requires a plugin (now) but downloads in less than a minute. Small file size and quick downloading are two huge benefits. Think of GIF animations on steroids that can be setup with actions like hyperlinks and so on. It is by far the most promising thing I've seen for the web. We're working on a PDF based training piece and my interest is in using FLASH for the interface.

While looking around on the pdfzone site the other day, I spotted an entry for a product called LocalRender which says it auto converts Word to PDF (I know nothing else about the product). Check out: http://www.emerge.pdfzone.com/products/software/toolinfo_convert.html Alternatively, if you are (or know) a Windows programmer, it should be relatively easy to write something that watches a directory, picks up that a file has arrived, uses OLE (or whatever they are calling it this month) to fire up Word (or Powerpoint), load the doc, and print it. I don't know whether it would be better to print it via PDFWriter to get a PDF directly, or to a PostScript file (and have Distiller Assistant auto pick it up and do a PDF file).

(300 dpi - 800 pages) ? Today, the answer seems to be: NONE except production printers like Xerox Docutech We are facing a very ennoying issue with our long documents in PDF/image format (200 & 300 dpi - 800 pages). : no single wide-spread workgroup printer able to print faster than 10 ppm (average) ... We have tested various workgroup PS printers with plenty of memory: none have passed the 15 ppm limit with our PDF/image documents. Who has already succeeded with PDf/image printing at 40 p < I use and recommend the Oce 3165 page printer for printing complex pages with many graphic objects embedded in them. Depending on the document complexity, the printer runs at or close to rated speed of 60 images per minutes. (Pages are too loose a definition, because of duplexing, ledger size documents or 2-up, 4-up scenarios.) The new Docutech NSPlus front end for the Docutech line should move the Xerox line back up to 100+ images per minute. Once you get over the Postscript rip time, print engines are beginning to increase in speeds. Printers like the Xeicon and Indigo can move you to 70 ipm in a duplex environment. The one off versus two+ print runs also have a bearing on the wall time for print production. Inter-mixing short jobs with long jobs or one-offs and multi-copy jobs, will improves the wall time perception that the printer is idle. I work with several printing vendors to improve production runs. Our business is to provide clients with improved document production. We print over 2,000,000 color images and more than 12,000,000 black & white images per month on page printers. This excludes our press runs.

The first really good overview book is RIT Frank Romano's PDF Printing and Publishing (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0941845222/qid%3D905955098/002-11041 03-2057202). So good, in fact, that it is temporarily out of stock. Tony McKinley's book (From Paper to Web) is chock full of information but has nothing to do with Printing or Pre-Press, per se (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1568303459/qid%3D905955240/002-11041 03-2057202). It is viewable in its entirety on line (and its numerous links actually work on the on-line version - http://imagebiz.com/PaperWeb/INDEX.HTM). The PDF Bible is at Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0941845230/qid%3D905955390/002-110410 3-2057202. It is a bible at 450 pages. I have 60 PDF how-to's at my site, virtually none dealling with Pre-Press directly, but they are yours for the browsing (http://www.performancegraphics.com/Pages/howto1.html). Hope this helps, C.

If it includes information about developing forms, does it cover using Perl scripts, javascript, different browsers, etc.? What prepress information does the book include?

It was tricky to make it work, but now it works like a charm. Do the following: 1- Be sure to download the last version (1.1b) of the pdf IFilter, 2- Stop the services, 3- Install PDF Filter 1.1b, 4- Manually add "pdffilt.dll" to the following key in the registry: HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\DllsToRegister 5- Start again your services, and reindex your pdf files (In the Index Server Management Console, right click on your pdf directory, and select "Rescan") We have used the standard sample search page, without any problems... And then it works!!!

Do I have to write a different search page to implement the search? Does the sample search page (an active server page) work with the IFilter? How do I reindex Index Server? I want to know this to make sure I'm doing it right. I have checked the registry and everything seems to be in order. - --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/ + _______________________________________________________ 17-Sep-1998 7:51:00-GMT,2458;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 BAA29439 for ; Thu, 17 Sep 1998 01:50:59 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA17653; Thu, 17 Sep 1998 02:39:56 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 17 Sep 1998 02:37:39 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA17562; Thu, 17 Sep 1998 02:37:38 -0500 From: "Jan Hillmer" To: Subject: AW: [PDF] Convert to Word DOC Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 09:36:53 +0200 Message-ID: <000001bde20d$f0923d90$0c35a8c0@nt-server.hh.provi.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 In-Reply-To: <55AD9151A911D211B3CC0008C7F41374046A71@SEGIEXCH2> Importance: Normal 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 <==== Mark, with Aerial from Ambia you can convert pdf to Rich Text Format.

I have to develop the following program: The program should be able to print a PDF-file, which is choosen from a lis= tbox (which I implement). I imagine to acomplish this task by using the AcrobatOCX, but this OCX shou= ld not be visible itself. Therefor the Print-Button of the OCX can not be used. By other words, I want to implement my "own print button" and then I want to use the print facility of the OCX "in the background" (i.e. in a way which is not visible to the user). It is absolutely important that it works with both Reader and Exchange.

Hi Tom, I have just done some tests and found the following: Mac OS8.1 Exchange 3.01 I can see and select a .wav file on the mac. But when I tried to OK the selection in Set Page action it caused my system to freeze. I then tried playing it using a link tool and it crashed again with an eror type -41. I can play the .wav file fine from the finder by double clicking it which opens with Quicktime (3.0 Pro version) As a workaround, I opened the file .wav file in Sound Edit on the Mac(You could use anything on the Mac or PC) and saved as an .aif, which then worked fine via both a page open and link tool. if you don't have tons of sound files to process, this will get you out of trouble. Have you checked the adobe archives for known bugs on this issue ?

OK. How many edits do you really want to make anyhow? If it's a few, here and there, Illustrator or Pitstop may be a good way to go. (Except that PitStop will likely barf on your large file - it seems to hate anything much over 100 pages and 3-4 MB) If you feel compelled to reCapture and go the ACD route - because the editor is fairly quick and reliable, and you have lots and lots of edits --- the simplest thing to do is print, scan and Capture.

Install a printer from Control Panels, but select a Postscript compatible printer (preferably not a HP brand), try something like an Apple LaserWriter 810 or something similar .. Once installed all you need to do to create the PS file is print normally, print using the print driver selected but select the 'Print To File' option where ever available. All apps will have this option.

However I am dismayed with the size of the resulting document. The file a PageMaker 6.5 document with a saved state file size of 221K. Using the PDF Writer increased the size of the document to a little less than 1 meg. There is a graphic element in the lead page: an eps grayscale element which I created in Illustrator. I used run length compression in the conversion process. I have also tried distilling with the same result...a larger file.

Use a colour printer, like a Tektronix Phaser. Or, better still, ... Are you distilling on a different system from the one where you generate the PostScript?

That is a very poor compression for monochrome, and does not apply to greyscale. What compression settings did you use in Distiller? What is the size of the EPS, and is it raster or vector?

The PDF file contains an article displayed in two columns. When he prints it, the two columns overlap in the middle, making it unreadable. I can print this file OK, and so can our representative at the user's institution, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the PDF file. The user is accessing this PDF file over the web, using Netscape 4.01, Acrobat 3 and a Laserjet 6P printer. The file doesn't contain any unusual fonts, just type 1 times and helvetica. Our rep says he has come across this problem before with some machines, but doesn't know why. In fact, he has 5 PCs, in the library where he works, all attached to the same printer. Only one of these machines can print the file OK. He also says that the file prints OK if downloaded over the web onto the PC, and then opened directly in Acrobat. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Thanks, Ann -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mrs. Ann Apps.

But you can only do one page at a time. > (Thought I'd post this to the main list to get others involved in the discussion if they desired) Andrew, I investigated the various workflows to edit PDF's a month ago looking through various options as QXTools, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Because PDF's are communicated to me from my client who is being fed Microsoft Word files from many different sources, this is our best option but leaves me often without an original. I finally settled on Pitstop, and although crude, it gets the minor image editing/substitution job done. A concern of mine, was how well does Illustrator (or Photoshop for that matter) communicate with PDF embedded font information? Does it come through? Is all text converted to outlines? Are there any cross-platform issues? (opening a PC PDF in Mac Illustrator). Any information would be great.

That is a very poor compression for monochrome, and does not apply to greyscale. What compression settings did you use in Distiller? What is the size of the EPS, and is it raster or vector? Are there any other embedded graphics?

I am confused as to where the .ppd's are located (should be installed) on NT during the install of the driver.< My comments are directed to the printing support only. It depends on how many desktops you need to support. I have maoved many of my desktops to the Nt 4.0 OS for better control and improved support and security. For printing services, no drivers are installed on the desktops. (I support sites that have more than 100seats) I have stepped away from using the MS or vendor provided printer kits. Too many varations in window and presentation look and feel. I only use the Adobe Print Driver. There are multiple ways and methods for connecting to printers and installing print drivers for NT environments. Variations can occur, based on your desktop OS. I create a master PPD folder on the server that is public to all connections. I generally create print queues on the NT server with the Adobe 5 app and vendor provided PPD's. All NT workstation clients attach to the queues. Whenever I change or update PPD's all NT clients are automatically updated. Win95/98 desktops use the Adobe 4.3.4 driver (I think this is the latest). I use the same PPD library and tell NT to support the Win95/98 clients as well. I use the same process for Macintosh clients and have the Mac desktops print to the NT queue, rather than to the printer directly. I only suport TCP/IP on the printers, minimizing contention for printing and network traffic. The NT server is better qualified for supporting multiple connections. All desktops print to the NT server, the NT server services the printers. I can redirect, save print jobs and recover better under this scenario.

Fonts are licensed and many drivers substitute based on best guess characteristics. Then the various PDL interpreters get involved and do their guessing game as well. You have not stated whether the native printing is done on a PCL engine or a PS engine. Since PDF is designed to be printer and font independent, my guess is some of the PC's are using different print drivers and configurations. Many HP printers support both PCL and PS, but the native font libraries and attributes for each PDL are significantly different. Check the PC print drivers and font support parameters. They may be configured differently. If Netscape is using the PCL driver, Acrobat prefers to render PS. Both print files can be directed to the same printer which knows how to switch between PDL's. One other idea is to check the PCL upgrade for Acrobat. Adobe released a PCL patch to fix some font problems. Without knowing the specific drivers and configuration parameters, it is more difficult to define the solution. If you are able to forward more specifics and a test file, I will offer my help to isolate and make recommendations. michael vorel Bowne Business Solutions 555 5th Ave New York, NY 10019 212-351-9019 mvorel@desi.net _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 20-Sep-1998 2:46:37-GMT,2758;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 UAA27060 for ; Sat, 19 Sep 1998 20:46:36 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA24345; Sat, 19 Sep 1998 21:30:18 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 19 Sep 1998 21:27:47 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA24185; Sat, 19 Sep 1998 21:27:46 -0500 Message-ID: <36047667.D36DB5C@empa.ch> Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 04:28:41 +0100 From: Erwin Widmer Organization: EMPA X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5b2 (Macintosh; I; PPC) X-Accept-Language: de-CH, en-US MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] Status of Acrobat 3.5?

I've been having trouble printing PDF files to our RIP when some phantom Type 3 fonts with names like T2, T4, T6, T8, T10, T12, etc. somehow appear in some of our PDF files. Our Panther RIP gives an InvalidFont error when I try to print those PDF files. A few of the technical details of our system: all Macintosh workstations, only Type 1 fonts - no TrueType or Type 3 fonts installed (other than the system TrueTypes like Chicago, Geneva et al), and the problem can occur using either PSPrinter or Laserwriter 8.4.x, Acrobat Distiller 3.01. Now, the really, really strange part about these Type 3 fonts is that quite often, closing and then reopening to PDF file causes them to just dissappear from the font list and the file prints fine. That and the fact that I can't seem to isolate the conditions under which these files occur is really causing us some headaches when we try to output a large number of PDF files to our RIP. Does anyone have any incite into what's causing this, how to solve it or even what those Type 3 fonts are?

Why is this? >Regards, >Hugh Evans We've had several discussions on the PDF discussion list regarding FrameMaker to PDF graphic quality. You can perform a search on the PDF lists archive to pull up the discussion e-mails. In the meantime, here is Dov Isaacs' very helpful response about the AdobePS 4.2.3 printer driver that ensures high quality PDFs: To reiterate THE official Adobe advice previously given on both the PDF and the Framer's lists, for Windows'9X, use the AdobePS 4.2.3 (or 4.2.2) driver (available for download from Adobe's web site) with the Distiller PPD found in the \Acrobat3\Distillr\XTRAS subdirectory. Any other combination is likely to cause significant problems in terms of proper rendering of graphics and/or text objects as well as color. The AdobePS 4.1.x driver suffered from a generic Windows bug that caused output to be monochrome if the default printer was a monochrome printer, regardless of what the "current" printer (i.e., the printer instance generating PostScript for distillation) is. PPDs for other PostScript devices result in very-device dependent PostScript being generated. Such device dependent features may either result in distillation failure because of PostScript errors and/or improperly rendered results. Unfortunately, due to the timing of the original release of Acrobat 3.0, the Distiller Assistant automatically associated itself with the default, very buggy, PSCRIPT PostScript driver that originally shipped with Windows'9X. If you have such an installation, you should delete the "Distiller" driver from the Printers folder and use the AdobePS 4.2.3 setup program to create a new printer instance to local device \distasst.ps using the Distiller PPD per above. - 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/ + _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 13:35:30-GMT,2434;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 HAA05439 for ; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 07:35:28 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA00248; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:14:46 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:12:22 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA00115; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:12:21 -0500 Message-Id: <199809211312.IAA00110@everglades.binc.net> Date: 21 Sep 98 09:11:58 +0000 From: Justin Blocksom Subject: Re: [PDF] getting back to acd To: pdf X-Mailer: QuickMail Pro 1.5.2 (Mac) X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-Ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by everglades.binc.net id IAA00111 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 <==== Reply to: Re: [PDF] getting back to acd >> ...how well does Illustrator (or Photoshop for that matter) >> communicate with PDF embedded font information?

I think this is a subtle language difficulty.

Whether the second part necessarily follows depends on your expectations for x-platform compatibility. IOW, if you have FlyingWombatBold installed on both platforms and you refrain from using characters on the Mac that have no equivalent on the PC (or vice versa, depending on which direction you're headed with the PDFs), things should be fairly smooth. I don't think Adobe intends for us to use PDF as a font distribution mechanism, however.

What I really need is editable (plain) postscript, so that I can add a line of text along the edge of each page of the document. (Note: I'm already successfully doing all of this with the Postscript output from batch-plotted Pro/E drawing files, so editing the Postscript is not the problem.) I have contacted Bentley about plotting to "regular" Postscript instead of encapsulated postscript, but in case they come back with a negative response, here's my question: How can I translate encapsulated postscript to regular postscript. I have a couple of options for platform, but this needs to be able to run in an unattended fashion, with the process initiated from a unix box. Options: - Some utility which will run on unix from the command line - Some plug-in to Exchange which will run on NT, and which can be triggered via a watched directory, like the Distiller. In this case the driving files will be ftp'd to the watched directory. Thanks in advance for any help.

One semi-possibility for resolving such dilemmae, might be to open the PDF on the PC side (where the fonts exist) in Illustrator 7, convert fonts to outline and THEN cross the river to the Mac for final editing. This is awkward, though, and removes the nice anti-aliased look of the former type. Or, you could use Helvetica and Times!

That would be weird, though. Technically, it is possible to merge EPS pages into one file, however, the result will be that all the page data from each separate page will be sandwiched together.

One solution might be to auto-import your EPS files into another application where you could use a variable data script to add the necessary lines you want to embed. Kind of a print-merge. Then, re-export to PostScript from that new app and make your PDF files - hopefully with ASCII PostScript. Another possibility might be to use a CGI script to plant your current EPS files into a PostScript ASCII shell of your own construction and automatically add the appropriate comments that you seek to include. Then use, the resulting PostScript shell to generate your PDF files. This could be very automatic.

I scan the pages onto the Paperport desktop, drag them onto the Adobe icon at the bottom of the page. Adobe creates the PDF files but when I view them, they are missing half the page. I can see the whole page when it is on the Paperport desktop but whatever Adobe is doing seems to be deleting half the page about.

Just an observation on this particular comment: the difference between using "ASCII" (7-bit) PostScript and binary (8 bit) is usually found in raster images*, such as scanned photos, or fonts. Since images take up a disproprtionate amount of file size, the difference in time required to save, transfer or process 7-bit ASCII files can be enormous. Acrobat Distiller can process either 8-bit binary or 7-bit ASCII representations regardless of platform of origin. The only case in which ASCII PostScript might be preferable is when a file transfer mechanism might construe a character sequence in a binary file as a control sequence (end of file, for example). This was something that occured in the early days of DTP, but rarely is an issue today. You could characterize it as urban legend! There should be no reason to mistrust binary PostScript, even in a mixed platform envronment. Most of the relevent gunk in a PostScript file which you might want to access programatically or with a text editor is in good ole 7-bit, human readable ASCII. Gary Cosimini Adobe Systems * There is at least one exception to this statement. When Acrobat emits PostScript Level 2 or 3, compressed "streams" such as page content would be downloaded in compressed mode, which would include high-ASCII (8 bit) characters. Images and compressed fonts would be downloaded in binary as well. Level 2 or 3 printers can decode compressed data on the fly, and it saves a lot in transmission time. There's plenty of detail on this in the PDF File Format Reference Manual, as well as in the PostScript Red Book. Take a look at the defintion of ASCII-85 for a meaningful explanation. _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 22-Sep-1998 12:34:12-GMT,3482;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 GAA07564 for ; Tue, 22 Sep 1998 06:34:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA32187; Tue, 22 Sep 1998 07:13:19 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 22 Sep 1998 07:10:33 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA32009; Tue, 22 Sep 1998 07:10:31 -0500 Message-ID: <00EF773582D6D111939D00A0C9A92F6401B2FF17@il0015exch003u.ih.lucent.com> From: "Farrell, Kevin (Kevin)" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: RE: [PDF] Capture Plugin Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 07:10:19 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 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 <==== When using the Capture plug-in, remember that it is a RESOURCE HOG!

I am fairly new to the list and using Acrobat products. My question is this, I am using the Capture plugin with Visioneer Paperport and HP Deskscan. I scan the pages onto the Paperport desktop, drag them onto the Adobe icon at the bottom of the page. Adobe creates the PDF files but when I view them, they are missing half the page. I can see the whole page when it is on the Paperport desktop but whatever Adobe is doing seems to be deleting half the page about. I am getting the feeling that I am overlooking something very simple but I feel like there are trees all around me and I am going blind. Please feel free to rib me, but please also can anyone give me a solution. Have a nice day.

In context of the original message (re EPS) I'd still argue that ASCII might be a safer choice, at least if you assume that the EPS might be used for other purposes in addition to becoming part of a PDF document (e.g. in DTP documents destined to be printed to laser printers). If they're to be used strictly for PDF, then no argument.

If you are moving files between a Mac and a PC on a Novell 4.11 network, you should mandate that all postscript files be 7-bit ASCII. If they are not, well you may be in for some major problems.

It contains information on every Adobe font, which allows an accurately spaced substitute font to be made for any font in the Adobe library. It does not specify a font to be used instead, but a set of rules for creating a multiple master font. The format is private; you cannot modify it or add your own fonts. By removing it you are ensuring it that this creation of substitute fonts does not take place, so you verify that all fonts needed for the job are present.

Hmm, that's interesting. I have a pretty ancient Novell server in my office and have never had any problems with binary Mac-PC transfers of PostScript file. Around Adobe we have dozens more. We've been using Novell servers for moving PS files to Distiller since Day One. Do you have a concrete example of this? Perhaps there's a configuration option set on the server that's incorrect?

First problem is that NetWare often attempts to be too smart for its own good. If you indicate to NetWare that the printer is a PostScript printer, it attempts to deal with certain issues related to fonts, binary escaping, etc. Best way to configure a NetWare queue/print server is as "not PostScript" although "binary." In other words, don't let NetWare screw with the file at all. Second problem is configuration of drivers per the "driver properties" in Windows. Disable header pages. Also, do NOT let a "form feed" be added to the job. In terms of ASCII and binary settings, it all depends on how the printer is connected to the network. If it is connected as a NetWare print server and is from HP, IBM, or Xerox, you should use the "tagged binary communications protocol" and NOT check the CTRL-D boxes. If it connected via AppleTalk using NetWare's ATPS (AppleTalk Print Services), then use "pure binary" again without checking any of the CTRL-D boxes. For other manufacturers, check with their documentation or technical support. It is our experience with NetWare 4.x and earlier that use of ATPS is "iffy" at best in the general case. Sending PostScript to a NetWare queue from a Mac is also somewhat "iffy" in terms of ASCII versus binary, especially since the Macintosh drivers do not support BCP and TBCP quoting for NetWare Server-connected printers. - Dov At 9/23/98 06:10 AM , Gary Cosimini wrote: >>====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== >> >>On Mon, 21 Sep 1998 23:00:52 -0700, you wrote: >> >>>..There should be no reason to mistrust binary PostScript, even >>>in a mixed platform envronment. >> >>In my experience, this is far from true.

As a matter of fact, the file is not embedded in its original format (just as a TIFF graphic is no longer a TIFF once inside a PDF). Here's a teaser from the PDF reference manual about how sounds are represented: Type (Required) Stream type. Always "Sound" R (Required) Sample rate, in samples per second. C (Optional) Number of sound channels in the data. The default is 1. B (Optional) Number of bits per sample value (per channel). The default is 8. E (Optional) The format of the sample data. Allowable values are: Raw: unspecified or unsigned values, 0 to 2 B (Bits) - 1. Signed: two’s-complement values. muLaw: m-law encoded samples. ALaw: A-law encoded samples. The default is Raw. ... and there is more. So this is no longer tied to a platform or file format. I have a question, just for my own curiosity: what platforms support the playing of sounds from Acrobat?

PLAY SOUND is a type of action implemented in Exchange like the PLAY MOVIE action. I'd only recommend it for short snippets because there are no controls for the player. You can see an example in the second Hallowe'en example on http://www.quite.com/acrobat/samples.

I've been having trouble printing PDF files to our RIP when some phantom Type 3 fonts with names like T2, T4, T6, T8, T10, T12, etc. somehow appear in some of our PDF files. Our Panther RIP gives an InvalidFont error when I try to print those PDF files.< Many RIPs provide the option of "substitute fonts - yes/no". Yes, will normally allow any file to print, though output may not be as expected. No, will stop the RIP. If these are in fact "phantoms" and merely intermittent font statement calls with no real character streams, this may help you wade through until the culprit can be found. michael vorel Bowne Business Solutions 555 5th Ave New York, NY 10017 212-351-9019 _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 12:54:15-GMT,2221;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 GAA15706 for ; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 06:54:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA03950; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 07:36:31 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 24 Sep 1998 07:34:21 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA03415; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 07:34:19 -0500 Message-ID: <001601bde7b7$e74608c0$31af5c18@708714231.tampabay.rr.com> From: "Chris Lane" To: Subject: Re: [PDF] Printing a List of PDF File Names Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 08:36:03 -0400 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 4.72.3110.5 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 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 <==== >From the DOS command prompt, go to the subdirectory that you want to list and type DIR >dir.txt That will put the directory listing into a file called dir.txt (or whatever).

I have experienced these configuration issues at many client sites and overcome them with changes to the configuration. michael vorel Bowne Business Services _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 13:40:06-GMT,3082;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 HAA16607 for ; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 07:40:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA09618; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 08:06:28 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 24 Sep 1998 08:04:17 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA09407; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 08:04:14 -0500 From: "Jeremy Treister" To: Cc: Subject: [PDF] Installer question Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 08:10:43 -0500 Message-ID: <000001bde7bc$bc1c6f90$0100a8c0@jtreister.interaccess.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2377.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2120.0 Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: <199809232249.RAA12970@everglades.binc.net> 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 <==== You can write an Install Shield program that installs each of these programs in sequence for the Win'95/98/NT platform.

The purpose of EPS as a container, was to include postscript files inside a document for inclusion at print time. This was extremely valuable for referencing printed documentation in another document. Display of EPS content was hit or miss, based on how well the coding team adhered to Adobe rules; thus you saw references to displayable EPS in certain software programs. And a BIG X was portrayed where an EPS file would be printed in the document. Early on many print vendors recommended saving files as EPS format for printing purposes, but this was outside the original design or EPS. _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 17:16:53-GMT,2010;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 LAA22375 for ; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 11:16:51 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA30190; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 11:56:22 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 24 Sep 1998 11:54:13 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA30032; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 11:54:12 -0500 Message-ID: <01BDE7A9.A24EBB80@howards.oecmed.com> From: Michael Johnson To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: [PDF] Autorun Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 10:53:52 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by everglades.binc.net id LAA30027 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'm creating a hardware service manual that consists of several PDFs on a CD.

In this case you can only complain to them . . . it's hard to know what their program does and why. My _opinion_ is that all chars within the larger element (e.g., section head) should be retained. When playing with automatic bookmarking via plugin it is possible to capture all the characters, though bookmarks are limited in character set (a subset of PDFDocEncoding) and you can just have a string (no sups/sups). So "The result is π2 for x" (using pseudo-SGML) would show up as "The result is p2 for x" in the bookmark. -- Chris Hamlin American Institute of Physics, 500 Sunnyside Blvd, Woodbury, NY 11797-2999 Internet: chamlin@aip.org Phone: 516/576-2335 FAX: 516/349-7669 _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 18:37:48-GMT,2577;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 MAA24387 for ; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 12:37:37 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA02505; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 13:17:59 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 24 Sep 1998 13:13:15 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA02212; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 13:13:14 -0500 Message-ID: From: "Saccuzzo, Robin" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: RE: [PDF] Autorun Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 13:18:30 -0500 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) 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 <==== Place in the file [autorun] open=something.exe icon=something.ico something being the exe you want to launch and its ico if needed.

We receive an error message that says "These documents contain subset fonts that have the same name and cannot be merged." Is there anyway around this problem when you do not have access to the document source material? Is there any way to extract the embedded font from the PDF file so that pages may be replaced? One workaround: If you want to replace pages you can delete the old page and insert the new one. But, the replace function works using thumbnails and drag and drop which is much more convenient to do, especially if you need to manually change 1000 pages a day. Any ideas?

I took a 5-page Image Only PDF, printed it out to PostScript, then used Phil Smith's Named Destination script to PDFmark my file with Page1, Page2, etc. for each page, and Distilled the file back to PDF. I put it on a web server (Dell Pentium Pro w/ 64 Mb RAM, connected to the Internet via Novell network to router to T1 to Net, running MS Internet Information Server, Service Pack 3) at: http://imagebiz.com/PaperWeb/pdfmark2.htm The html page that links to it has named links like http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/mypdf.pdf#Page2 that are supposed to take you to that specific page in the PDF file when you click on the link. The problem is that it's working for some people, but not for others -- especially me! When I go from my work machine, using either Navigator 3.0 and Reader 3.01 helper or IE 4.0 with 3.01 plug-in with OCX upgrade, I only get the first page of the PDF file, no matter which link I click on. We've got a firewall, mixed Novell and NT network, with TCP/IP. Of course, when I tried it from home, using Navigator 4.06, it worked fine. A few friends and collegues, some within firewalls, others out in the open, have also reported being able to access the individual pages without any problems. A few have only been able to get linked to Page 1. One confusing item: because I thought it might be a firewall issue, I tried posting the file on some internal intranets, both Unix and NT, but I still got the same failed results -- page 1 only! First, I wonder how many people on this list find that they can get to the correct specific PDF page (either 2,3,4 or 5) from the web link? Secondly, I wonder if anyone has any ideas or constructive suggestions on what might be causing this seemingly sporadic behavior?

I put it on a web server (Dell Pentium Pro w/ 64 Mb RAM, connected to = the Internet via Novell network to router to T1 to Net, running MS Internet Information Server, Service Pack 3)=20 at: http://imagebiz.com/PaperWeb/pdfmark2.htm The html page that links to it has named links like=20 http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/mypdf.pdf#Page2=20 that are supposed to take you to that specific page in the PDF file when you click on the link.=20 The problem is that it's working for some people, but not for others -- especially me! When I go from my work machine, using either Navigator = 3.0 and Reader 3.01 helper or IE 4.0 with 3.01 plug-in with OCX upgrade, I = only get the first page of the PDF file, no matter which link I click on. = We've got a firewall, mixed Novell and NT network, with TCP/IP. Of course, when I tried it from home, using Navigator 4.06, it worked = fine. A few friends and collegues, some within firewalls, others out in the = open, have also reported being able to access the individual pages without any problems. A few have only been able to get linked to Page 1. One confusing item: because I thought it might be a firewall issue, I = tried posting the file on some internal intranets, both Unix and NT, but I = still got the same failed results -- page 1 only!=20 First, I wonder how many people on this list find that they can get to = the correct specific PDF page (either 2,3,4 or 5) from the web link? Secondly, I wonder if anyone has any ideas or constructive suggestions = on what might be causing this seemingly sporadic behavior?

The documentation in one of Microsoft's programming languages--Visual Basic--states that Windows 95 (and later) are designed such that the computer checks for the file when a CD is inserted. The exception is if the user disables autorun on the computer into which the CD is loaded.

It starts up every time, checks and, if it finds what it is looking for then the installer exits without doing anything, otherwise it does its stuff and installs things (including the stuff you look for next time). If you are trying to cover the installation of multiple packages you do the checks on a package by package basis. I haven't looked at them for a while but I believe there are facilities to allow you to do this built in to the "Installer construction" packages (such as InstallShield) - but *please* check, I am not familiar with the current crop of these.

I do not mean corrections using the post-it notes, etc. I mean editorial markups right on the PDF page -- for instance, editorial "delete" mark to indicate text that needs to be deleted, etc. Thanks. Here's the scenario: There is a single PDF file (call it "sample.pdf") that gets sent to three editors. Editor 1 marks up sample.pdf using whatever tool may be available to indicate corrections (say in red ink). Editor 2 marks up sample.pdf using blue ink. Editor 3 marks up sample.pdf using green ink. Now, when I get the "marked up" PDF back from the editors, is it possible to combine the editorial remarks so that I would have a single sample.pdf file with red, blue and green ink indicating all of the required corrections? Thanks. _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Sep-1998 16:18:59-GMT,3348;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 KAA23085 for ; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 10:18:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA17011; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 11:02:16 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 25 Sep 1998 10:59:57 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA16352; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 10:59:55 -0500 Message-ID: From: Nathan Keller To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] Can you use plug-ins in Reviewer?

I am trying to be objective and not go off into a flame war. I have sent files to Adobe, I have spent hours on customer support, and so on. I have hired consultants. To be blunt, I am VERY dissatisfied with Adobe. Every time I send Adobe a problem, I get back a message, "we can't reproduce that". I send them a PDF that is created by distiller that is OBVIOUSLY bad, and customer support tells me, "we can't see anything wrong with it" (when parts of characters are cut off in the headline). Someone asked if there is a reason to be worried about binary EPS files. I say there are very good reasons to avoid them. My experience has taught me that if Adobe says there is not a problem, well odds are I will get bit by that problem. I am not trying to start a flame war. You work for Adobe. My job is to produce products that meet my customers expectations. To do that I have been building a list of things to avoid: Avoid binary eps files Avoid Bitstream fonts Avoid bitmapped fonts Avoid using Acrobat 3.0 if you have a Epson 600 printer (2.0 works fine) Avoid printing PDF files to HP printers unless they have postscript If using OLE to control Acrobat Exchange do not try and print more than 200 documents without resetting the entire computer. If at all possible, do not install ATM on a PC. I am also building a list of things that must be done: Any PDF created by PDF-Writer must be recreated by GhostScript if you plan on using a tool that supports placeable PDF.

I think you are misunderstanding what I wrote. The issue is not with printing. Printing is a completely separate issue. Actually, printing is one of the things that does work (I agree that you should tell Novell to avoid messing with the file). I am talking about just accessing binary EPS files on the network with different programs, and one in particular: PhotoShop. Our Mac graphics people would to into spasms if PhotoShop on the PC ever touched one of the Mac EPS files. (I got into lots of fights and wanted to throw all the Macs out the window, followed by the Mac zelots; but that is another story.) If you have a binary, Mac EPS on a Novell network, and open up the file on a PC using PhotoShop, every thing looks fine. But if you save the file back to the network, PhotoShop will save the file as a PC EPS. This causes the Mac to loose its mind. The solution is rather simple, use Ghostscript to convert the Binary EPS into ASCII EPS and save that to the network. Then the PC and the Mac can both work on it. Quark Express files are another matter. It appears you must choose your platform: Mac or PC, and never, under any circumstances try and change that platform. Just opening up a Mac Quark file on a PC will mean that the Mac cannot access the files ever again. (I don't believe that, but that is what the Mac graphics people told me.) All in all, printing ususally works. It is just the little things like copying a file that kills me. (We won't talk about how you can crash a Novell server by copying files with a Mac, or how just copying, not moving, a file with the PC somehow makes the file incompatable with the Mac.)

Unfortunately (or perhaps not) I don't have a Novell setup to test this on, but I wonder if it's something simpler, like the file losing its resource information as a result of having been opened and saved from a PC. Can the Mac folks start Photoshop, do File Open and grab the file w/o incident? IOW, are they just kvetching because they can't doubleclick the file like they're used to doing on the Mac normally? If that's not it, what exactly does the Mac do? And finally, am I losing my mind, or do I remember your sig line from Bix?

You might try modifying the image in Adobe Illustrator (7.x). Without seeing the document it is hard to tell, but if there is anyway to simplify the image, Illustrator could probably help. For instance: - Open the document. - Select a polygon with a common color. - Edit/Select all objects with the Same Fill Color - Object/Pathfinder/Unite. This will reduce the number of polygons if they are adjacent to one another. C.

If >that's not it, what exactly does the Mac do? That may have been part of it. But there were cases where files were "corrupted" during this process. The Mac uses a carriage return (CR) to mark the end of a line; Unix uses a line feed (LF); and the PC uses both (CR-LF). One verson of Quark for the Mac had obviously been ported from a Unix source code. The reason I know this is that in some odd cases the EPS created by Quark on the Mac will suddently change from using CRs to using LFs and then switch back. If you only touch this file using Quark on the Mac, you are OK. If you pull this file up into PhotoShop on the Mac, it appears to maintain the CR then LF weirdness. If you pull the file up into PhotoShop for the PC, then save it, it converts the CRs and LFs into CR-LF. For some weird reason this then freaks Quark and PhotoShop out on the Mac because neither program can then properly read the file. When we were doing all this processing, I constantly heard the whine from the Mac users, "the PC has corrupted my graphic. It worked perfectly fine on the Mac, but now its broken." To be blunt, I strongly recommend a homogeneous work environment. If you like Mac, then stay with them and never under any circomstances allow a PC into your shop. Personally, I prefer PCs and would like to have kept all the Macs our of the building. But I am also keenly aware of our business needs. I was told by many people, that we absolutely, positively had to have a Mac connected to our network. I fought them tooth and nail; but once we got them I knew they needed to be connected to the network. So I again had to fight with our corporate IS people to put the Macs on our network. (I can now prove that the people who told me we absolutely, positively had to have a Mac were lying; but that is another topic.) I got the Macs attached to our Novell servers, and then the "fun" began. I ended up writing a little program, we call FixEps, which reads an EPS file in and makes sure that the output is a PC ASCII EPS. It is a simple little program that just looks at the first two bytes of the file and determines if it is a binary or ascii eps and outputs only the ascii file, with CR-LF pairs. I did this before I found that GhostScript will do the same thing but will do it a lot better because GhostScript actually understands the EPS file. Ghostscript is really a tremendous program. It makes working with postscript files bearable. I have been using PDFTeX, which is a version of TeX that outputs PDF files. PDFTeX does not support EPS inclusion, but does support placable PDF. Because I use "unusual tools" I often get into weird situations. One of the things I do for fun is draw maps using a tool called Campaign Cartographer 2 (CC2). I have the PDF Writer installed and can output PDF files from CC2. The problem is that PDF Writer often creates "invalid" PDF files. I got into a long and unfriendly discussion with several people about this. PDFTeX can include PDF files, but not ones created by CC2 and PDF-Writer. Actually PDFTeX cannot include PDF files created by CC2 writing a Postscript file that is then distilled by Distiller. It appears that Acrobat PDF-Writer, and Distiller will under certain situations create PDF files that do not quite match the Adobe printed specifications (CC2 is one of the programs that demonstrates this problem). What this means is that you can view the PDFs with Acrobat but PDFTeX cannot use them. The solution is to use Ghostscript as a filter. So I have sort of come to the conclusion, "you have no idea where that EPS or PDF have been, so before you use them, you should wash them with Ghostcript to make sure you get all the cruddies out of them". >And finally, am I losing my mind, or do I remember your sig line from Bix? Yes, I was on Bix for a long time. Finally dropped Bix, when Jean van Watershoot died, and support for his newsreader, Galahad, went away.

I'm assuming you know enough to realise that Acrobat is not an authoring tool; you do not design a page in Acrobat. When you export a PDF from PM 6.5, it uses Acrobat Distiller to do the conversion. So there isn't really any difference. However, when you use the Export PDF function, PageMaker is able to add extra information to the PostScript file it generates, so that there can be links and bookmarks in the final PDF file.

Current Process: We currently receive FDF from our web server via an HTML input form. (we are not using PDF forms on purpose). We import the FDF data via Exchange into a PDF document, that was created in Pagemaker and converted to PDF using PDFWriter, and saved. Now we want to fax the PDF file. When we email the PDF it's received and prints ok. When we fax from within Exchange using Microsoft Fax driver, for example, it works just fine. Problem #1: When we want to fax via a fax server all the FDF data is dropped and does not appear on the faxed PDF document. NO ONE can tell us how this happens. The only solution proposed is to convert the PDF to an image file. Any ideas on ensuring electronic FDF data is retained in PDF form when fax via fax server other than converting to image file? Problem #2: We have attempted to convert PDF file to PDF Image only. Ghostscript, converting PDF to Postscript via PS Plug in Exchange and then opening in Photoshop and Image Alchemy PS have all been tested WITHOUT success. They all convert the PDF image ok, but the FDF data is lost. The only solution is to print the PDF, scan it, save as image , then fax the PDF Image files. Any ideas on converting PDF files with FDF data to PDF Image only without have to print and scan (significant amount of time and cost if have to print and scan 1000's of PDF documents)?

Current Process: We currently receive FDF from our web server via an HTML input form. (we are not using PDF forms on purpose). We import the FDF data via Exchange into a PDF document, that was created in Pagemaker and converted to PDF using PDFWriter, and saved. Now we want to fax the PDF file. When we email the PDF it's received and prints ok. When we fax from within Exchange using Microsoft Fax driver, for example, it works just fine. Problem #1: When we want to fax via a fax server all the FDF data is dropped and does not appear on the faxed PDF document. NO ONE can tell us how this happens. The only solution proposed is to convert the PDF to an image file. Any ideas on ensuring electronic FDF data is retained in PDF form when fax via fax server other than converting to image file? Problem #2: We have attempted to convert PDF file to PDF Image only. Ghostscript, converting PDF to Postscript via PS Plug in Exchange and then opening in Photoshop and Image Alchemy PS have all been tested WITHOUT success. They all convert the PDF image ok, but the FDF data is lost. The only solution is to print the PDF, scan it, save as image , then fax the PDF Image files. Any ideas on converting PDF files with FDF data to PDF Image only without have to print and scan (significant amount of time and cost if have to print and scan 1000's of PDF documents)?

Otherwise you would have to print a PageMaker document to PS and then start Distiller. PageMaker does that all for you. There should not be a difference in the PDF document. At least I never saw any quality differences between these two methods. Has anybody else?

If you have the /F option set in your FDFs, you could use an AppleScript which opens the FDF (which automagically opens the approrpriate base PDF) and save it. If you don't have the /F option, but Filemaker Pro, you could set up a database which contains the FDF file name, the base PDF file name, the target PDF file name. It would contain a script which initiates an AppleScript which you do create based on the data in each record. You may need QuicKeys in order to make Exchange import the FDF (Exchange's AppleScript support is pretty lousy ). I did use the second method for creating about 12000 PDFs based on around 100 base PDFs. Hope, this can help.

This is not the case for QT2x. Can anyone elaborate on this? Not true. There are 3 options for distribution of QT3 on a CD OPTION 1: NO CHARGE Standard QT3 installer which when installed places a *Get QT3* movie on the host desktop (MAC OR PC). This movie extolls the virtues of the *pro* version of QT over the standard install which the client has just installed. The BIG stink Apple created when they originally released QT# was this movie launched EVERY time the user invoked Movie Player. Note that the *standard* install of QT3 includes all the extended features which are unlocked with a serial No. In addition, from time to time when you launch the standard Movie Player the user gets a pop-up screen asking if they would like to upgrade to QT3, YES or NO, whichj is nearly as bad as the original Get Movie idea. OPTION 2: $US1.00 / disc To release your clients from the *Get Movie* option you can pay a dollar per disc for a version which does not spam the desktop. HOWEVER I'm not sure whether this is still available since Apple revised the installer to run the Get Movie to a once only at install. OPTION3: QTPro $US 30.00 Bulk licenses of QT3Pro at $30 gives the user full QT capabilities. ******************************************************************** To my knowledge Apple is no longer offering distribution licenses free or otherwise for QT2.x. Also unlike previous versions of QT, Ver 3 is designed to be installed over top of 2.x. Previously and especially in Windows this would cause major conflicts, but this is OK in Ver 3.

One way to avoid QuicKeys for importing FDFs is to include in the original PDF a link that is set to import form data. You can operate the link action, delete the link, and then save to another file - all with AppleScript. This will work if you are always importing from the same FDF file. I use this approach to add custom data (usually a user name) to sets of PDF documents. Apologies to the original poster if you're not using a Mac.

If this question is a little off the regular path, I apologize. Adobe Capture handles full color. For even more flexible capturing, try PageGenie98 at http://www.pagegenie.com . Which is about 300% faster and much more accurate. The background preservation is also superior to Adobe Capture. A Pro version should be out in a couple of weeks.

If this question is a little off the regular path, I apologize. Capture can certainly handle color, but it must be asked nicely! To get good output with a moderate file size can be really tricky.

Any thoughts out > there? Sure, I have lots of thoughts on this. I do color catalogs all the time. :) First, let's assume that you can't get the original application with the original artwork (quark, pagemaker... whatever). In other words, all you can get is the paper so your only option is to Scan and OCR. Summary: Scan each page. Separate the Text and Graphics by making text only files and graphics only files. Run OCR on the text files. Review and Correct the OCR. Paste in the color and greyscale graphic images. If you need colored text, use Acrobat Reviewer to color it. Detail: I would ask for three catalogs to work with. One I would use to take apart (cut, remove staples, etc) and scan. A second would be a back-up in case something bad happened to all or part of the first one. The third I would keep for OCR review and correction. I would then make (3) scans of each page. Scan #1 would be a 300(*) dpi black and white. Scan #2 would be a 300(*) dpi greyscale. Scan #3 would be 300(*) dpi color. (*) Note: You could choose to scan at higher resolutions... this would be your choice. Note also that you don't have to make three separate scans, but I prefer to work that way. The alternative would be to make just one color scan of each page, converting each one and Saving As... greyscale, and then a bitmap. Scan #1 (T:1) I would then open the black and whites in an editor such as Techsoft's PixEdit or Adobe's Photoshop and delete all instances of a graphic... leaving only the text. In my opinion, there's no reason that I know of to run OCR over graphic images unless you simply have to. Why run OCR on something it has no way of understanding?) I would also run a couple of filters, such as "Fill Holes" in PixEdit. Then, I would run Capture or TypeReader on the bitmaps, and then review and correct. Scans #2 (G:8) and #3 (C:24) I would open in an editor such as Adobe Photoshop and make individual files out of each graphic, greyscale and/or color. I would also run filters such as "Auto Levels" or "Auto Curves". After fixing and correcting the graphics, I would print them to files (pdf) using Distiller. I would then insert each graphic pdf into its proper place in the Acrobat Review file (.acd). If you need color text, I would use the Acrobat Review menu item File/Change Color to color it. I prefer doing one page at a time starting with the cover. After I get one page completely done I then scan page two and start the process again. In my opinion, things can get too complicated and out of hand if I scan two hundered pages of a catalog and attempt to work with all those files at once. Depending on the complexity of each page, I would figure 15 minutes to two hours per page time spent working. I would think that the average amount of time spent would be about 45 minutes. Hope this helps.

The Acrobat Online help for Search says "You may see additional custom fields if the creator of the PDF document included them." I created them using Thomas Merz method of adding them in the ps file, and modifying the acrocat.ini file, but still can't seem to have them display when I search. Is this possible without writing my own plug-in? If not, how difficult is it to write this type of plug in and where do I go for information? Thanks in advance.

Please claify. >. >Justin Blocksom >Printing & Publications Corp. >jblocksom@printandpub.com Acrobat Reviewer is a separate program included in Adobe's Acrobat Capture 2.x (Windows only) package. It receives .acd files from Capture and allows you to do a better job at finding and editing suspects than Exchange does (it highlights misspellings and all numericals for proofing). It also allows you to edit parts of the file, eliminating unwanted elements (say b&w photos) and adding other elements (like color scans). You can then save to .pdf from Reviewer. Adobe does not sell it separately. I haven't seen .acd files created in any other program. C.

Yep! QuickTime movies store date and time information in a Y2K-safe format. Also, QuickTime movie playback doesn't depend on correct date and time information -- it's just metadata for humans. :^) Cheers, -- Charles Wiltgen QuickTime Evangelist Worldwide Developer Relations Apple Computer, Inc.

Although remember QT is only an Architecture and needs to run on a Y2K compliant OS like Mac, ( I,m not even sure whether W'95 is ? I assume W'98 is and I have heard that NT4.0 is not and will not be, that you need to go to NT5. Can anyone on list confirm the above ?

The server has Distiller 3.01 running checking 4 watched folders and generating PDF files out of the PS ones. This is working perfectly well. The generated PDF files are going to be viewed trough a local Intranet. Problem: When I try to view the PDF file (using comunicator 4.04 with acrobat plugin+search) it only appears a blank page with the plugins toolbar on top (doing it trough HTTP). I have seen this before and the only solution I know is to open the same PDF file with Exchange and saving it with the optimize option (the same file name), unfortunatly I can¥t afford this solution, because the process is supposed to be done automatically. Question: Does any one know how to generate optimized PDF out of PS with Distiller 3.01 (without using excahnge)? If someone had this same problem I apreciate your help.

We looked at including this functionality in our Local Render product but came up against a number of technical challenges. As this started to adversely effect timescales we pulled the functionality. Its still on the list, not imminent and would involve compromises.

I have a client with a set of FrameMaker documents. Each set has 10 books in it. Each book has 8 chapters, a TOC, and an Index. It is easy to make a bookmarked and hyperlinked PDF of each book. And I know it is possible to make a master FrameMaker index of the 10 FrameMaker books fairly easily (38 pages). The question is - is there any way to make a PDF of the master index that hyperlinks to the 10 books automatically? Thanks, C.

We need to run reports on that database and allow multiple users see them. Currently all the reports are in text, most of them landscape 132 columns. Viewing these reports through a Web Browser is fine, but when they go to print them, they don't come out perfectly because of margin situations. We decided to move to PDF so that the user would have one-button-printing. We are using enscript to go from TXT->PS, and then ghostscript to go from PS->PDF. This all works fine on command line. What we would like to do, is store the Text files in a zip file, and when a user submits a form, we unzip the text file they request, do the conversion to PDF via PS, and then send the PDF directly to the user. Our problem is in trying to stream the PDF file back to the user. My CGI script, written in CShell script, returns "Content-type: application/pdf\n\n", and then the output of the ghostscript should be going directly to standard output, aka the web browser. My browser (IE4.0/AcrobatReader3.01) does not seem to retrieve it properly. Currently, we have an intermediate step, where we create the PDF file, and put it in a Web 'static' directory and create an HTML link from the CGI script, that has one link, and that link to the PDF file created in the 'static' directory. That works fine, but we'd rather get rid of that intermediate step. We are running Apache Web Server on our machine. I don't think we want byteserver, because we want the entire PDF file sent back to the user. (Unless I've thoroughly misunderstood what byteserver does, ie, it returns pages from the PDF on demand?) Can anyone give me any insight on this problem? Thanks in advance, John McGinn (If I figure out the problem in the meantime, I will post that information.) --------------------+----------------------------------------------------- John McGinn | "Imagination, Imagination, a dream can be a dream Wang Govt Service | come true with just that spark in me and you!"

I'm trying to redesign my company logo, which was originally done (by my partner) with a font that is not available in electronic form, and I could use some help. I'm looking for a font that is trim, not too modern or archaic, has a "k" with the lower descender of the foot (the lower oblique line) going below the baseline, and imparts a sense of flight. Probably a serif would be better than a sans serif, but I'm open to suggestions. The "k" criterion is the hardest to meet, but really think having the descender this way does impart a sense of flight. I've looked through tons of font books with no success. If you think of a font that meets all or most of my criteria, please e-mail me privately instead of posting to the list, as I have trouble keeping up with mail on all my lists. If you know where I can get the font, I'd appreciate hearing that, too. TIA.

We discovered - right before a demo of our CD-ROM documentation package to our users - that IE 4.0 and Netscape 4.0 with the Reader used as a plug-in will not open PDF files larger than 4MB. Reader will open inside the browser, but the PDF never appears. If they change to using Reader as a helper and not a plug-in, that will solve the problem.

Not very robust, but it will do in a pinch. For something more useful, you might want to hit one of the shareware sites -- ZDNet is my favorite. There are many apps that will provide the functionality you're looking for -- sorry I can't recommend a specific tool.

Yes, ATM does this. There are also lots of type utilities sharware etc available for download at places like www.download.com Another thing you can do is make a pdf of all the fonts in your system.

Refer to the ABCPYDOC.INI file that's included in the Acrobat Reader setup for details; this is written primarily for people who are somewhat familiar with InstallShield, but it can be used by anyone who takes the time to really work at it. A lot of trial-and-error time will be needed before you get right, but it's no more complex than doing the sort same thing with other installer products (such as InstallShield, Winstall, etc.) The best part is that there's no additional product to buy, learn, and integrate with Adobe's installer. i.e., The installation of Acrobat Reader plus your icon/shortcut can all be done at one time, with one script. Good luck.

I set the colors of my links by using FrameMaker's conditional text feature. I set a condition called hypertext, which is red underlined, then set each link to the hypertext condition. When you create a PDF, a snapshot is taken of your file at the time you create it, so if all your text is black then, your links will be black in the final PDF. If your links are colored in your original file (and you have the right printer and PPD settings, etc....) then the color should carry through to the PDF to mark the links. The link color won't change though based on whether or not the link's been used.

We discovered - right before a demo of our CD-ROM documentation package to our users - that IE 4.0 and Netscape 4.0 with the Reader used as a plug-in will not open PDF files larger than 4MB. Reader will open inside the browser, but the PDF never appears. If they change to using Reader as a helper and not a plug-in, that will solve the problem.

John, on the topic, it really sounds like a compatibility problem - 2.1 versus 3.01 ... If the files are not being byte served - then a (very) general assumption could be made that they are not being optimized - ie. they were created in an earlier version of Acrobat (2.1).. Size is not an issue, althought the browsers documentation states that big files _can_ be a problem, it doesn't say anything about it not showing the first page. d........................... ps. if I contributed $0.02US it would cost you guys money :) .... -------------------------------------- > John, > > I managed to read your pdf files without any difficulty.

The 4.2 Mb PDF version of "From Paper to Web" has been on the Web in optimized, byteserved fashion since 3/28/97. According to server statistics, about 20 gigs of the book have been downloaded. It would seem that the concept works. While there are disconnects between Acrobat Reader 2.1 and 3, any user can just go and get the new version of Acrobat Reader for free. The more fundamental disconnect for Web users may be the differing performance of Netscape and MSIE when handling PDF. One works perfectly, one doesn't. We need an answer for this, since we can't ask people to change their browsers. Another example is the ability to use an HTML link to go directly to a specific page in a PDF file, i.e. click to page 3 of a 5 page article at http://imagebiz.com/pdfmark2.htm. Different browsers seem to behave differently. Has somebody fixed the broken one to work like the other one? All input welcome.

I > made a pdf like that and find it very useful. Maybe the way I worded it didn't make sense. I apologize if I caused confusion. I needed my fonts on a piece of paper to show clients so they could pick what they wanted. I simply printed to pdf an illustrator file with every font and character. I then created bookmarks and organized by family. No big deal. It took me a day and a half to make it... but once done... it was a handy thing to have.

It is reported from time to time by some of our users, and I cannot really know what set-up they have. But it also happens to me occasionally: the bottom of the Netscape window says 'Document Done' but the screen is blank. Usually at a second attempt the document displays, but sometimes it takes more tries. I am using Acrobat Reader version 3, and I don't believe there is any thing wrong with the PDF file itself (otherwise it would never display). I suspect it is a network problem, because it seems to happen when the network is flakey doing other things. I have a very naive understanding of networks, but I suspect messages are getting out of synch, or the web browser on my machine gets back the message that the document has been sent, but not the document itself. I have also wondered if there was a problem with the local web cache size on my machine, PDF files being rather large. But I now doubt if this is the cause because I've seen the problem go away without my clearing the local web cache.

This is a follow-up. The files have bookmarks, regular links, and forms items that serve as rollover text display(text fields) with links (button fields that use go to view and show/hide actions). An Example: When I originally distill the PostScript file from a FrameMaker document, the result is a file Size PPC 8500 Mac Dell 560/NP (586-66MHZ) 680K that takes 14 seconds to open 59 seconds to open after I do a batch optimize 510K that takes 13 seconds to open 57 seconds to open after an individual save as with optimizing on 680K that takes 1 seconds to open 8 seconds to open During an exchange with Aandi Inston related to his compression plugin, I sent him a test file. I suggested that maybe the delay was a result of a compression routine used during the batch optimizing. I think he indicated that it had nothing to do with compression, but was a matter of order within the PDF file. It is clear to me that the code that does a "batch optimizing..." and a "Save As" handles the PDF document differently. I like the smaller size as this allows me to include more PDF documents on the CDs we make. However, the delay in opening the PDF document is intolerable. Second, opening each file separately to do a "Save As" is time consuming when you are dealing with hundreds of documents. It appears to me that only PDFs with the form items have this problem. Does anyone have an idea how I can easily have my cake and eat it too! (smaller size with quicker opening speed) ??????

I only had to physically type out every character in one typeface on one page. After the first font example of every character was done and printed to pdf, I highlighted the whole page and changed to the next font or style (bold, italic, etc..). The hard part (well not exactly hard but time consuming) was the organization, removal, and installation of fonts into the system. I think the maximum number of readable fonts in a Macintosh is something like 120. So, each time I finished a group of fonts I had to remove and install a new set of fonts... and I to had to pay close attention that I didn't remove any of the Macintosh system fonts... any mistakes here meant sifting through all those fonts, finding the ones that were missing, reinstalling and restarting the computer. It was a time consuming project to say the least. Please realize I did not have ATM or any other utility for browsing fonts. I had had at one time a utility that browsed fonts, but it required system resources to run it. To me that was as big a pain as anything. (Remember "way" back when RAM was always an issue?). > Did you convert this to PDF for ease in transport electronically? > No, because my only intention was to use it in-house. Also, there's nothing fancy about the way I designed it... it's just a representation of every typeface that I currently own and have immediate access to. You are welcome to view and or download it.

Firstly, there are two distinct types of optimization available. The first is what Distiller does, it can downsample (reduce the resolution and bit depth of) images and apply various compressions to both images and text - this reduces the size of the file but does little to affect loading speed (except that the file is smaller). It can be quite carefully controlled via the "Distiller - Job Options" dialog box. I suspect, although you don't say, that the "batch optimization" you mentioned was done using Distiller. The second type is what Exchange does when you "save as" with the "optimize" box checked. This applies compression but also makes changes to the file that enable the file to appear to load much quicker. In actual fact the file doesn't load that much quicker but the first page does - the other pages get loaded in the background while you look at it. If, as soon as the first page appears, you step forward several pages quickly, you will have to wait for them to load. When loading an unoptimized file, Reader generally has to read the whole file in before it can display the first page. This is not strictly true, but since, in order to get all the information to construct the first page it has to read data from all over the file (particularly the object index at the end of the file), it amounts to the same thing - especially over the web. Part of the optimization involves reorganising the data in the file so that all the parts needed for the first page are in one block at the start of the file (including a separate, smaller index specifically for the first page) so that that section can be sent first and as soon as you have got all of that section you can show the first page. The "save as" optimized version generally uses all the compression it can so it is doubtful you can make the file any smaller. (Although, annoyingly, it seems to have a distinct tendency to prefer using LZW instead of Flate/ZIP, which compresses better and isn't subject to royalties - sometimes even replacing Flate with LZW, and I can't find any options you can set to influence its behaviour.) In any case, if you edit or change the file in almost any way *after* you have "save as" optimized it it will cease to be optimized and will go back to requiring the long load time. The reason it is bigger when optimized in this way is that, amongst other things, the "save as" optimization process also involves adding extra data to the file. This can best be described as adding an extra layer of indexes to the file to allow Reader to access a particular page and an individual component within that page faster than usual. And these indexes make the file larger. But without them it won't load quickly. Swings and roundabouts - your choice. This reorganisation and extra indexing is also known as Linearization (see Chapter 9 of the PDF manual). NB: As I have previously queried on this list (no replies yet) I have found, by examining the contents of supposedly Linearized files, that although the resultant files did load faster, the extra info that had been added to the file did *not* match the formal definition in the PDF manual - as before, any suggestions on this are welcome. Question to all: I'm fairly sure Exchange can be made to do "save as" optimizations under software control (correct me if I'm wrong). If so, do you get any more control (such as choice of compressions)?

For some reson I can't send a message to the list, so I'm sending it directly to you. I think this is how you do it (haven't tested it lately, but I know it works on Mac). For this to work, EVERY file MUST have a uniqe name! This is because all PDF-files must be in the same folder. Make a "master"-document with the same layout as the other indexes. Import all the index documents into this "master"-index, link the import by reference, NOT copy. Make sure that you check the pagination for every book, and manually setting the pagaination for every book. You could also usa a prefix for every book so every book starts on the right page#. Then print the book as postscript (not save) and "name" the printfile to * (just a star). This will create one ps file for every document in the book. Destill these files with Destiller. Do this for all books and the MasterIndex. Place every pdf in a folder and you are done. All the hypertextlinks from Frame will now work! You could make the master index by using crossrefs to every paragraph in every doc, but this is only if all is done in all documents. You might also check out List of Paragraphs (LOP). Hope this is useful to you.

It's mildly tricky. You can print any portion of a Win95 or NT HLP file you like, but underneath the hood, Windows is creating a separate print job for each page. In order to print to PDFWriter or to PS in order to distill the results, you'd need to supply a filename for each page when asked, either manually or via some sort of monitor that keys filenames into a dialog box each time it opens. That's a bit much for me. Another option that might be possible is printing to a spooler of some sort, assuming that you can stop the spooler from passing the files off to the printer, and that you can later save them to regular PS files. RedMON may have some means of doing this ... I don't really know. I ended up doing something a bit different. Some PS drivers use a monitor program of some sort that steps in before a PS file is written to the output port and optionally generate an automatic file name for the PS file and to put it in some directory of your choosing. WinSlideNT and WinSlide95 are examples of this kind of driver. Once you have a way of getting each page of the HLP file sent automatically to an individual PS file on disk, you concatenate them with a DOS command like: COPY *.PS BIGHONKER.PRN You can then distill the PRN file to PDF. The Winslide driver is available from our web site at http://www.rdpslides.com on the software download page. You'd want to download WSLD201.EXE rather than any of the other variations.

When I got a blank page in MSIE 4.0, I was able to open the file from the temp folder by double clicking it, as was mentioned above. I also was able to read the file in my browser the next time I tried it. Here are two paragraphs from the 3.01 Reader Readme. The first paragraph seems to support the quote from a previous post; the second seems to explain why I'd get different results on different attempts, but it's not much help to you as the creator of the files. Blank Pages in Web Browsers - Some pages of PDF files may appear blank when viewed within Web browsers. This may occur if the PDF file is being served from an early versions of some Web servers (such as the Microsoft Internet Information Server version 2.0). Users can view such PDF files by saving a copy locally. Webmasters may need to update their server to the latest version (for more information see http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/byteserve.html). At times Internet Explorer may display an empty area where it should display a PDF file. This may occur if Internet Explorer has an old or bad copy of the PDF file in its cache. You may be able to correct the problem by clearing its cache as follows: - select Internet Explorer's View > Options... menu - click on the "Advanced" tab (at the top right of the dialog) - click on the Settings... button under "Temporary Internet files" - click on the Empty Folder... button - click Yes - click OK - click OK Then redisplay the open window in Internet Explorer using either the Refresh button or the View > Refresh menu or F5. * ^ * ^ * Wendy Cutler, Project Co-ordinator, Application Devl & Support ITB, Ministry of Human Resources (604) 660-1591 > mailto:Wendy.Cutler@gems2.gov.bc.ca from OV: EXCH01(wcutler) _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 3-Oct-1998 0:51:50-GMT,2144;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 SAA07530 for ; Fri, 2 Oct 1998 18:51:48 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA27632; Fri, 2 Oct 1998 19:30:10 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 2 Oct 1998 19:28:45 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA27492; Fri, 2 Oct 1998 19:28:43 -0500 X-Lotus-FromDomain: KEYCORP From: "Karen L Mibus" To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Message-ID: <85256691.0061F7F4.00@keybank.com> Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1998 13:57:12 -0400 Subject: [PDF] InstallShield and Acrobat Reader +Fixes, Plug-ins, etc. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII 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 <==== Re: [PDF] Installation Scripts, Tom wrote: The installation of Acrobat Reader plus your icon/shortcut can all be done at one time, with one script.

I have experienced the problem of not being able to open PDF files with IE 4+ and Acrobat 3.01RA with the most current OCX fix installed. The files vary from 40KB to >4 MB. Reader sometimes opens and the page remains blank with "Done" appearing in the status area, and other times, Reader doesn't open and I face a blank page with "Done" appearing in the status area. Also, when clicking a link to a PDF file I have received the message "File cannot be opened. Server has been reset." I've received this message when activating links to other file types including other HTML pages. Does anyone know what "Server has been reset" means? Per John Shardolow's pdf files, I was able to open the first pdf he listed without problem. The second, e_municipal.pdf tried to open. The status message regarding % downloaded kept flickering but nothing loaded and I waited two minutes! I tried another PDF at his site, final report PDF, and it loaded just fine. Unfortunately, I have no explanations, but I too want answers! --Karen zzsupjaa@cs6400.mcc.ac.uk on 10/02/98 07:09:35 AM Please respond to pdf@lists.pdfzone.com To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com cc: (bcc: Karen L Mibus/NE/KSC/KeyCorp) Subject: Re: [PDF] Acrobat files not opening from the Web...

It is reported from time to time by some of our users, and I cannot really know what set-up they have. But it also happens to me occasionally: the bottom of the Netscape window says 'Document Done' but the screen is blank. Usually at a second attempt the document displays, but sometimes it takes more tries. I am using Acrobat Reader version 3, and I don't believe there is any thing wrong with the PDF file itself (otherwise it would never display). I suspect it is a network problem, because it seems to happen when the network is flakey doing other things. I have a very naive understanding of networks, but I suspect messages are getting out of synch, or the web browser on my machine gets back the message that the document has been sent, but not the document itself. I have also wondered if there was a problem with the local web cache size on my machine, PDF files being rather large. But I now doubt if this is the cause because I've seen the problem go away without my clearing the local web cache.

YES - That's strictly prohibited by the Adobe license. You MUST use the Adobe-supplied installer. See: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/distribute.html which reads, in part: "You can distribute the free Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader software to anyone - inside or outside your company - who needs to view, navigate, and search PDF files. "You may make unlimited copies of the Acrobat Reader 3.0 software and give copies to other persons or entities as long as the copies contain the Electronic End-User License Agreement and the same copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the software. The license agreement, copyright notices, and other notices are contained in the Acrobat Reader installer program; so as long as you do not alter the installer program in any way you will be in compliance with the agreement." Note the last sentence in particular. Sorry, but that's the way it is unless you can get Adobe Legal to grant you an exemption. You can, however, launch the Adobe installer from within your own Installshield program; this allows you to "stay legal" and also add your own features.

Shane: Good response - this is what I have found. The map generation package generates a scale ie. 1"= 2 miles and a scale bar on the map that gets thrown off when outputing at other than 100% Also, I am finding that not all industries are "in tune" with .PDF files and the closer that you can get to a finished solution the better chance one has of seeing the format addopted. For instance, I sent a map (PDF) to an oil company (reduced the scale as you suggested above) - I also included Acrobat Reader on the CD with the Map. The company could not / or would not install Acrobat reader to view the file - ultimately requesting a print file.

You could always simply send out an EPS file. This would give them a previewable file, printability and, if any fonts are downloaded into the EPS file, fairly reliable portability. Although, this would mean that they would probably have to import the file into something else to command the print. What might that reasonably be? Some print systems will print EPS file directly. They construct a "ghost page" based on the bounding box of the EPS file and insert a "showpage" command at the bottom of the file to initiate the printing at the PostScript device. > Also, it seems that 40 X 40 is not that large an image.

I find that PS and EPS support to be a joke on Windows. There is always the need for multiple, intermediate step somewhere! The scale bar problem is more to do with the text because 1 inch does not = 2 miles - on the map it equals 1 mile (yes the scale bar scales appropriately but the text defn. is a bust). I have been generating a number of maps from MapInfo - outputing to PS and then distilling gives great results but very slow (unacceptable) redraw times when there are 100's / 1000's of polygons on the map. My solution has been to import the PS (eps) into Photoshop, export as a tiff and then re-distill. Results are acceptable. Exporting Maps from MapInfo is a disaster - the resulting graphic (ie. Tiff) is at screen resolution. > > > > > Also, I am finding that not all industries are "in tune" with .PDF files > > and the closer that you can get to a finished solution the better chance > > one has of seeing the format addopted. > > Tell me about it. :) PDF shows/demonstrates well but trying to get an office of geologists, landmen, accountants, etc. to learn the nuances of what works is an uphill struggle. If Adobe distiller would support 15-20 file formats life would be much easier. > > You could always simply send out an EPS file.

I find eps and PS very hard to support in an enterprise using Windows. Most Windows offices have no support for PS / EPS. UNIX offices know PS but not eps. PDF Viewer is a brilliant and economic solution - pdf generation is confusing to people without a graphics foundation. My Windoes users are scared stiff of GhostScript (my Mac users love PDF - can't get enough of it). Thanks for your thoughts Shane.

You can open DXF in Illustrator and correct your scaling bar problem, save as EPS and make a script for Photoshop to open the Illustrator EPS from a certain directory at a chosen resolution. Save as JPEG out of Photoshop and you can get an even nicer result than allowing Distiller to convert your TIFF to JPEG. For some reason, the JPEG from Photoshop will convert gradations more smoothly than JPEGs from Distiller. If you want to exercise this option, turn off the compression & downsampling for these objects in Distiller since you will already have performed these functions. > Exporting Maps from MapInfo is a disaster - the resulting graphic (ie. > Tiff) is at screen resolution.

This NT print queue should be defined for a PS print device. There is no need to have a real printer attached to service the queue, if you really don't want the paper generated. Once you have printed all your pages or files, you can capture the queue files to Distiller (they are already in PS format) and create your PDF files. If you have additional specific questions on how to accomplish this you can contact me directly.

I will like to know if there is any way to transform a HLP file into a PDF. Thanks a lot Juan Gonzalez === This is actually an interesting idea. I produce both types of files for my job, but never thought of doing it in this direction. Someone should write a program that does this. Here's one way to do it, although you won't get the navigation features of the help file: 1. Decompile the help file, which produces a project file and an RTF file (the one you'll need). I believe a free decompiling program can be found at www.wextech.com or www.helpmaster.com. 2. Open the RTF file in WordPad (or MS Word, WordPerfect, etc.). If you open it is MS Word, the RTF file will probably have lots of strange footnotes that function as input codes to the help compiler. Delete them if you wish. 3. Print to a PDF file by either using the PDFWriter driver or using a PostScript printer driver (and then converting the PS file to PDF with Acrobat Distiller). PDFWriter is the better one to use, because a Windows help file will probably contain only TrueType fonts. (Note: Style names aren't retained in the decompile, so you can't really use PDFMaker on it without manual tweaking.) If you don't know what PDFWriter and Acrobat Distiller are, you can get the former for $30, if Adobe (www.adobe.com) is still selling it, or both as part of the commercial Acrobat software (not the free Acrobat Reader) for $150-200 on the street.

The PCL file generated are huge (try printing to file to see the size). The size of the file slows the printing down. We have several HP printers. We have done the test where we printed the same document to two different printers: one with postscript, one without. The postscript printed about twice as fast. This was a major issue with us since we were printing thousands of pages a day. (Actually we did a LOT of testing on this. We had to justify to our corporate IS department why we need to upgrade the printer to postscript. We had to run the tests numerous times. We even had to move the printers to different network connections to prove that it was not some problem with the network.) So quality is not the issue, speed of printing is. >Why avoid using ATM on a PC???? Maybe it is just my very, very bad luck with ATM. The past three times I have tried to install ATM to a PC bad things have happened. The last time was the worst. We purchased a copy of ATM for Windows 95. I tried to install it to my PC. During the install, my hard disk had an internal explosion, literally; after we took the hard disk out of the PC you could hear parts rattling around inside it. Since this was the THIRD PC that I personally, had bad things happen to it while I was trying to install ATM, I avoid ATM. The exploding hard disk was probably not caused by ATM; but I was not going to try and prove it. Earlier attempts to install ATM had caused PC's to become totally unstable. Every time I install ATM to a PC, at a minimum we end up reformatting the hard disk within a month. The three PCs that I use on a daily basis do not have ATM installed. I have never had to reinstall Windows 95 on any of the PCs without ATM loaded. Every PC we have that gets ATM installed will end up having to have their hard disk reformatted within a month. Something goes wrong and they can no longer get to their email, or the network, or weird things happen. So unless I absolutely, positively need ATM, I avoid installing it if at all possible.

We went through the configuration for each printer and made sure that all the parameters that were configurable (on the front panel) was the same, except for the postscript option. At one time, the non-postscript printer had MORE memory than the postscript printer. So we took the extra memory out, figuring that more memory could have slowed it down someway. Taking the memory out, slowed the printer way down. So we put the memory back. We did a lot of testing, just to prove to our IS department we needed to upgrade the HP printer to postscript. It took a lot of effort, but we finally proved that printing to an HP4SI with the postscript board was much faster than printing PCL to the same printer. We even had to drag the printers all over because our IS department was convinced that there must be some network problem. So we had to drag the printer up to corporate, and directly attach them to a PC that corporate had set up. That way, our corporate IS department could do the timing. (At the time, our corporate IS department was very firmly against upgrading any of the printers to postscript; they hated postscript printers. We ended up wasting a lot of time and effort over a silly little board that cost about $600.) We narrowed the test down to creating two files, one PCL, the other Postscript. Then we connected each printer directly to the parallel port of the PC. The PC was booted up in Dos 6.22. The files were printed using the standard dos print command. Our IS department swapped the Postscript board from one printer to the other and tested it that way. They added and took away memory. Basically our IS department tried every test they could think of to prove that we did not need the Postscript board. In the end, we proved our point and got the postscript board. Unfortunately our IS department then fell in love with Postscript and the next printer we got was a QMS 2060. You cannot believe the hell we went through testing that beast. The QMS is very fast; but very, very, very picky and it was designed for someone fixated on security. When you connect a QMS to your network, and it logs in, the first thing it does is change all the passwords it has access to. What this means is if you buy a QMS network printer and something goes wrong with it and you have to have it replaced, you cannot just unplug the bad one and plug in the good one. You have to have your network adminstrator go through and zap all the passwords that the QMS changed. This was a nightmare when we were trying to evaluate different models of the QMS. You would plug one in, get it working, and then run the tests. Befor you could test the next model, we had to have the network administrator go in and zap all the passwords that the QMS had set. This is fully documented in the QMS manual. Personally I think it is a bug, (I like the definition of a bug as this: if you can turn it off and on its a feature, if you can't, its a bug; you cannot turn the security features on the QMS off, so it is a bug.) If you do get a QMS 2060 and you want to print a lot of postscript, you need to make sure that QMS configures it correctly. The default configuration from QMS is wrong! You will not get the speed the printer is capable of. We found this out by testing all of their different models. I believe you want to have the same configuration as the QMS 2064. The software and the hardware for the 2060 and 2064 are identical. The 2064 has a few more options and is a lot more expensive. If you get all the memory settings and configuration parameters from the 2064 and set the 2060 with those same parameters there is no difference in printing speed between the 2060 and the 2064. If you don't, then the 2064 prints about 25% faster. Personally, I don't like the QMS. It is not very reliable. In less than a year we have had to have quite a bit of service done to the QMS and it is still not reliable. Right now it gets into this weird "waiting on end of input state". The only way to fix it is to turn it off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on. We found out the hard way you MUST wait 30 seconds. The QMS has some "unusual" features in its operating system. If you turn the QMS off, and then back on too quickly, the QMS will reformat its hard disk. This is another one of those questionable features that are actually documented in the QMS manual. Jeffrey M\kern-.05em\raise.5ex\hbox{\b c}\kern-.05emArthur a.k.a.

Most firms usually don't. Other areas you need to consider: Do all the HP printers have the same RAM? If not, banding occurs and page creation is slowed down. How is memory allocated in the printerss. Many printers allow you to configure memory for spooling, Virt Mem, fonts, etc. How are fonts handled? Are they part of the printstream, converted to bitmap, substituted, converted to type "X" or merely called in the file? Which print driver is used for each printer? Is the PPD current? Is the print driver the latest & greatest? (HP is famous for slipstreaming fixes.) What is the CPU speed in each printer? Is the BIOS updated in each printer? (HP is famous for slipstreaming fixes.) Are the printers 600 or 300 dpi? The rule of thumb is 4MB RAM for one page at 300 DPI, B&W only. What is the network protocol for each printer? What is the default PDL for each printer? If the engine has to switch modes, this takes time. Different drivers create different print files, based on the OS that uses the driver. Many NT created files are smaller and more compact than Windows 95. Also, if you are measuring wall time, take into consideration how much spooling occurs during the process. Windows 95 on Novell servers is the worst. Windows NT 4.0 Workstation attached to NT 4.0 servers will reduce wall time.

And then you can print the RTF (from Within Word) directly to PDF. If you don't have the PDFWriter, you can print to a Postscript file and then use something like Ghostscript to turn the Postscript file into a PDF file. > ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by The PDFzone <==== > > Hello! > > I will like to know if there is any way to transform a HLP file into a > > PDF. > Thanks a lot > > Juan Gonzalez > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.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/ + > _______________________________________________________ > _______________________________________________________ -> 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/ + _______________________________________________________ 26-Sep-1998 4:21:26-GMT,2836;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 WAA11265 for ; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 22:21:24 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA23463; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 23:04:07 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 25 Sep 1998 23:02:43 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA23331; Fri, 25 Sep 1998 23:02:40 -0500 X-Sender: wadsond@pop3.air.on.ca (Unverified) Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <199809251217.FAA19993@sun630mp.infomania.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 18:25:26 -0500 To: pdf-prepress-l@infomania.com From: David Wadson Subject: [PDF] Type 3 Font Problem Solved!

A thousand thanks to Samantha Bailey for steering me to the answer. I never found it in the Adobe tech database because I only searched for "Type 3 Fonts" rather than "Acrobat and Quark and Type 3 Fonts". As the database points out, which I didn't clue into, the problem on occurs when PDFing colour separations from QuarkXPress. It doesn't happen if you are making a composite PDF. Anyways, the problem occurs if you have type that traps to a colour behind it. I guess Quark and Acrobat generate those Type 3 fonts to create the trapping amount. If you set your text to either overprint or knockout the background, the Type 3 fonts are not created in your document. Thankfully, because we print onto newsprint, trapping is not a big concern for us - we have so much dot gain we should probably have negative traps if anything! If we were trying to print really high quality separations this could be a problem for us. After a really exhausting week at work trying to keep everything working smoothly this is a real spirit booster...too bad I have to wait until Monday to tell my co-workers that I solved the problem. I wonder if my tech support company will pay me for the solution...

Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d. Thank you. I will send this announcement to pdf-l once a week to let newcomers know of this development. -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Oct-1998 13:43:18-GMT,2056;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 HAA16155 for ; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 07:43:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA32029; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 08:26:21 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 5 Oct 1998 08:25:29 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA31968; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 08:25:27 -0500 From: "MCS" To: Subject: [PDF] Stack Fault errors in 98 Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 08:26:29 -0500 Message-ID: <000001bdf063$c2c104a0$523e5fcc@archetyp> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2377.0 Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: <36179CE0.FCE92989@earthlink.net> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 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 <==== Anyone using Pagemaker 6.5 on Windows 98 to export to PDF?

Many of the "problems" you describe are a result of connectivity to Novell services. I have configured many QMS printers and improved the speed and reliability with proper configurations. QMS has not been consistent with their documentation. If you change print services from Novell to NT and use lpr/lpd or use the lpr/lpd services on Novell, many of your connectivity and security problems will go away. You will also see improved services by moving to NT for printing. There are ways to "fix" the input state by managing the closing communications from the queue. I do not have any more QMS printers in my lab, they are all in production now at various offices and client sites. Because of the QMS features/quirks, it is best to troubleshoot these nuances with available printers, not merey be process or configuration oriented. Please contact me if you think I can offer any other opinions or ideas to help you.

Personally, I believe this symptom has multiple causes. Our Web group resolved one occurance by configuring the Netscape Web (AIX) server software to "Web Publishing OFF". But we still see the blank page syndrome occasionally. The problem PDF file will open ok with Reader 3.x or Exchange 3.x - but presents a blank page when opened using Reader as a plug-in to Netscape 4.x. We've been wondering if the PDF file gets 'corrupted' during the process of FTPing it to the Web server?? Or maybe it's a network problem as suggested by others? I don't believe it is related to page size or complexity. This appears to be a fairly common intermittent problem amongst users. Adobe - can you help us out here?? I'm hoping to learn how to avoid this problem. - Linda _______________________________________________________ -> 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-Oct-1998 16:21:24-GMT,2561;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 KAA20072 for ; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 10:21:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA09213; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 10:54:34 -0500 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 5 Oct 1998 10:49:49 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA08855; Mon, 5 Oct 1998 10:49:45 -0500 Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 11:49:39 -0400 Message-Id: <199810051549.LAA01355@typeface.susq.com> From: Jan Jackson To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] Txt -> PS -> PDF on the fly...

We also send pdf dynamically to the browser, which works fine in Netscape 3 & 4, but not in IE. I found the following in the Acrobat Reader v.3.01 readme file: "Internet Explorer 3.0 will not display a PDF file accessed by an URL which does not end in .pdf or .PDF." In our case, we used a cgi, the name of which ended up in the Location Bar. We changed it to just open an actual file which fixed the problem in IE. However, I just revisited the perl script and it is working at this minute in both IE3 and IE4! So, I'm now wondering if what I was really suffering from is the "White Page of Death." Let me know if you find out anything else, and I'll keep you posted as well. I would like to have this working reliably in IE.

I am using PShop 5.0. Hi Steve, I have tried a number of things to get the best possible result from images within the context of PDF documents. When quality is the main issue, I usually make my JPEGS from Photoshop at the compression/ quality/resolution ratio that I like and then insert the JPEGs into Quark and Distill from there. Note: I turn off downsampling and compression in Distiller Job Options when pursuing this course. Why go to all of this trouble? No matter how I fiddled with the Job Options in Distiller, I couldn't get as fine a result as doing all the image processing in Photoshop. PS Printer 8.3.1 should be fine. However, dependent upon your colour setup, you might want to use Pshop 4 until you have a handle on what Pshop 5's new colour space, "sRGB", might do to your colour.

No. Adobe have abandoned level 1 support with a vengeance. This is, as you've spotted, extremely inconvenient if you want to use Adobe level 1 output devices. Your only options are to downgrade to 4.1, and lose new features/level 3 support; or to use the Microsoft driver. > > Is there another approach here? > > Does the PPD matter (HP LJ 4 or 5) for Level 1 or Level 2? The 4.2.x drivers reject a level 1 PPD. But let's not lose track of Acrobat here. When you export EPS from Acrobat the printer driver should not be involved (use Export EPS; not print).

Jeffrey, As an employee of Adobe Systems, I am sorry to hear of your difficulty in using you computer during and/or after installation of Adobe Type Managager 4.0. Quite frankly, though, this software does not issue a 80x86 HCI instruction (Head Crash Immediate) to your disk. If your disk's time was up, in terms of lifetime, it is only coincidental that it occurred during an installation of ATM. There is nothing in the installation or operation of ATM that does anything different to a disk drive than would be done by any application program. In terms of other problems that you see, I would strongly suggest that you look at the drivers for your video cards. They are the greatest source of problems for ATM and any other system components that make use of display functions. When used on otherwise stable software configurations of Windows'95 or Windows'98, ATM 4.0 for Windows has displayed a very high level of stability, in some cases surpassing the stability of the built-in rasterizer for TrueType in Windows'95 ("smoothing" feature in TrueType in Windows'95 can crash system, for example). It is our experience that if you do have "ATM problems," you are only exposing other significant system problems (usually software and most often video and/or printer driver related), that if resolved, would yield much high overall system reliability, with or without ATM installed.

In terms of desktop and network laser printers, there have not been any Adobe PostScript printers that have shipped with Level 1 for approximately six years, well past both the depreciation period (for bean counters) and projected reasonable lifetime for these devices. In terms of high-end, imagesetter and high-speed network printers, Adobe PostScript Level 2 has been shipping for over five years (again past the normal product depreciation period). In the latter case, many of our OEMs did offer software upgrades from Level 1 to Level 2. You cannot run the AdobePS 4.1 and 4.2.x drivers simultaneously.

In terms of generating PostScript Level 1 EPS files, may I suggest the following roundabout method? Generate a good PDF file via the Distiller Assistant with PostScript Level 2. In Acrobat Exchange with the EPS/PS Export plugin, export PDF with preview and Level 1 options set. You can also export any embedded fonts as part of the EPS file. By the way, the EPS files generated in this manner are far superior in size and performance to most any way of generating same. - Dov __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

PDF collections have been indexed using Acrobat Catalogue. I would like to give my CD users the ability to search on the pdx files I have created, however when pdf files are displayed in the Acrobat Reader window within the Internet Explorer 4 browser window, the Acrobat Search button is not displayed. Adobe Technical Support's answer to this was to obtain and implement a web search engine on our intranet that could understand pdf. This seems to me to be a very expensive/difficult solution to what appears to me to be a small problem. Also I am not totally convinced that this would make my CD-ROMs any easier to create. As a work-around I have created two links within a pdf file that is dedicated to searching. The first link executes menu item - Tools - Search - Indexes. This brings up the window which allows the user to add the name of an index (*.pdx). I have tried to use the File - Document Info - Index function to nominate the relevant index but this also does not function within a browser window. The user selects the index I have described within the text of the dedicated search pdf file. The second link executes menu item - Tools - Search - Query. The user enters his query text string and clicks on search. This system works except for one small problem which hopefully someone can help me with... The search results window now displays all documents that in some way satisfy the search criteria. In normal circumstances, double clicking on one of the listed documents, causes it to be displayed. In this case - it is displayed, but not in the browser window where the dedicated search pdf document sits, but within the Acrobat Reader Window which normally sits quite happily in the background behind the browser. Q1. Is it possible to force this document to be displayed in the browser window? Q2. Is it possible to move the Acrobat Search Plugin API file to somewhere else that would allow the Acrobat Search button to be displayed within the browser window?... It's strange, but the next and previous search results buttons are displayed in the browser, but never active! Q3. Is there another way to achieve the same objective?

Depreciation on presses may be - what? - 30 years? And you may have trouble convincing some people that they should throw away their pre-press equipment after five. But there is a more important point to this, which is why I wish this decision hadn't been made. Many people are still tied to level 1 WORKFLOWS for separation and trapping. That's even if they have the latest level 3 imagesetters; workflows are not discarded overnight. For instance, I believe Trapwise still, or until very recently, required level 1. Heck, even Illustrator 7.0 can't open level 2 files. And that's why I wish Adobe would reconsider this. But, I doubt it will happen while printer driver support is considered to be a part of, and financed by, output device sales. And then, if it isn't paid for by that, who is it paid for by? (oops, mustn't use a preposition to end a sentence with). I have a follow-on question, which someone may know the answer to. The NT5 PostScript driver is based on Adobe's AdobePS5 driver, I understand. Does that mean that NT5 will have no level 1 PostScript support at all? If so, there will be interesting days ahead.

I would seek advice from counsel before attempting that kind of trick; even then, are you really prepared to defend a suit, just to avoid a 5-minute install? ...doesn't sound like a real good idea to me. Several people have expressed concerns that their users/customers might not do the installation correctly. I can understand that, given that there are now several separate pieces needed to set up a fully functional Reader: 3.01 base + PCL fix + OCX + forms + QT + ??? But if users won't follow the setup instructions (which I assume you provide in a README), then you will have bigger problems to worrying about. The Acrobat Reader is a demanding piece of software. It is not possible to just walk up and start using it productively without first reading the Help and the Search Help files. 90% of the support calls I get are from people who are just too lazy to read the doc, or who are simply unable understand it (in which case, using the Reader productively will always be beyond their abilities anyway).

IMO this is a very grey area within the licensing agreement and there have been numerous responses saying you can't do it but provide no alternative solution. Here is what I did for my CD's. (NOTE this is for Window OS only since I know that is only OS my Cds will run under) Problem: With newer versions of Adobe the software requires several system files reside in the Windows Operating system directory (versions prior to 3.0 were capable of running off the CD). Because of this "problem" you have to install something. In theory any method of installing any portion of the software and not using the Adobe install violates the following portion of the license: Although you may customize the installer for the Software as documented on the Adobe Acrobat Reader CD-ROM (e.g., installation of additional plug-in and help files), you may not otherwise alter or modify the installer program or create a new installer for the Software. Solution: Adobe gives you the answer in this statement. You can modify the installer as documented on the Acrobat Reader CD. One of the options is a silent install that allows you to completely customize how and where it is installed. What I did was develop a front end that displayed a list of all the PDF documents contained on the CD. When the user selected a document I attempted to launch the document based on Windows file extension associations. If the document had an association Adobe should have been previously installed. If not I perform a silent Adobe installation and then launch the document when the install is complete. Not a perfect solution, but I thing it should work at least 95% of the time. Basic Pseudo code of my solution implemented using the C programming language (I know you could do this in VB or other languages): Get PDF file name Use the ShellExecute function to see if there is an association for PDF use the filename returned to launch the book. If no error all is good and document should be shown (check for launch error, reinstall if necessary) If error occurred during launch or no association found execute the setup program (16 or 32 bit based on OS version) When the install is complete use the shellexecute command to launch the book. Hopefully this helps you out. __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

I am interested with this feature, the 2,000 files I have to display having such non-poetic name like "17352.pdf", while their "title field" has been automatically filled with their own title. How can I get that ? There is the feature as documented on this list, but it does have one unfortunate side effect - the documents, and therefore the Acrobat viewing area, does keep resizing itself, which can be very annoying. There is also the annoying "bug" that makes the documents creep "northwest" as you open more documents, eventually losing the top panel, and the menu bars. We wrote a plug-in for internal use,which allows you to display the title without having to apply the dreaded "size document to centre of screen" option. This applies to all documents opened in Acrobat with the plug-in loaded. We are willing to resell it, so, if you need any details, let me know.

Have you actually read the redistribution license. I have two points to add (a) guessing what you might get away with is futile unless you have made a detailed reading of the license; (b) if you think you have found a loophole, you should realise that this clearly isn't what Adobe intended. So, are you so confident of your position that you would be ready to defend yourself against Adobe's lawyers. Before 3.0 Adobe did not have this restriction. Now they do, and I consider it very sensible. Here's why: installing Acrobat may differ from system to system, for instance depending on what is already there, whether ATM is installed, and other factors that Adobe do not document. In attempting to second guess this, people may end up with a crippled version of Acrobat, which does not work on the full range of available systems (even within the platform they've chosen to support). Or, it may work for the specific CDROM application but won't be complete (e.g. it won't support double clicking a PDF file or viewing PDF files in a browser), causing user confusion because they think they have a copy of Reader. So, this is bad for the person producing the CDROM image. But it is worse for Adobe, because they get the blame for Acrobat Reader not working. I don't see why they should tolerate that.

These files are being published on CD. To aid the end user in locating manuals we have created a Master Table of Contents PDF that lists all the files with a description and a link to the corresponding PDF. Each PDF has then had a link added which will take the user back to the Master Table of contents to the page the where the originating link was. In other words, if the manual description was on page 4 of the TOC and the user opens the corresponding manual PDF, and then uses the link in the manual to go back to the TOC he will end up back on page 4. This works great until we have to update the TOC for the next edition, in which case manuals are added and deleted possibly changing their page location in the TOC. Then we have to check all the links in the manuals to make sure they are going back to the coreect page in the TOC. Since the TOC is created in FrameMaker 5.53, I would like to add named destinations for all the manuals (this I know how to do) and then in the links back to the TOC in each manual use a javascript to jump to those named destinations. Is this possible and can anyone give me advise with writing such a script? Thanks in advance for your help.

Overall there are no good solutions for editing bodies of text in a PDF file. None at all. Some tools make a stab at exporting the text, but not the layout; or the layout, in such a way that the text is not all that easy to edit. None are ideal. They will do if you have no choice and no access to original files. This question almost always indicates a deep misunderstanding of what PDFs are good for, and what they are bad for. Think of PDF as a read-only format. Three words: edit your originals.

To ease our customers problems the content is segregated into 2 major parts according to the highest classification found (so that they can, if they wish just load either the lower category or both parts depending on their network capability). If I make just one index using Catalog I assume that it will build in content from both halves which might therefore mean that it would take on the highest classification and have to be placed in the higher classified half? Does this then mean that I'd have to index both halves separately? If so how can I either link the indexes such that a "find" in Reader will search both? Is there another way to ensure that irrespective of whether he loads just the lower classified part or all of it that he will be able to search an index that operates on the right set of documents? Could I, for example, link the Acrobat file to both indexes and it not then worry if it couldn't find one of them? Cheers.

I am a bit confused as to why you suggest that I select the "Don't Print" property for the form field that I do want to print. Could you please elaborate? I do know that if I do not have the form fields in the document that I can print, no problem. However I am just trying to find a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to modify an existing pdf file by adding a little text over an image. Thanks for your response.

You'll > need version 7.0 to do this. Just one caveat to the post on editing PDF files in Illustrator 7.0... You will need the EXACT fonts available on the machine with Illustrator as were used to make the PDF in the first place. Otherwise, all fonts that Illustrator considers "unfamiliar" will become the application's default font - Helvetica. In order for Illustrator to interpret the PDF file, it must un-embed the fonts from that page. On the other hand, if this is not a problem, Illustrator makes an excellent tool for editing these files. Eg. If you open up a 20 page PDF file in Illust. 7, it will ask you which page you wish to open. Once you open it and edit the page and ask the application to save, it inserts it back into the PDF file where you got it from. HOWEVER, the fonts are not embedded now. If you wish to re-embed the fonts, you will have to export a PostScript file from Exchange and run it through Distiller again - with all the necessary fonts from the edited page still available on your machine. A bit confusing, I admit, but I hope it helps.

Here's my guess at how to do it (although you'll probably get some ugly results, maybe not even functional; test, test, test): 1. Convert the decompiled .HLP file (the HPJ, RTF, and any graphic files) into HTML/Win98 Help using Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop (www.helpmaster.com will have a link to the download site).

Convert the HTML files to PDF, links retained, using MS Word with Acrobat and the PDFMaker plugin. There are also some freeware HTML->PDF or HTML->PS + PS->PDF (batch?) utilities, but the one I tried had some bugs in it (its name was HTMLDoc, I believe; it thought that angle brackets that were meant to be seen were HTML tags).

Reader 3.01 does not support ataching more than one index per pdf, I am currently downloading Reader 3.02 as I write this post so I can't speak for that version yet. If I understand your post, you need to attch two indexes for a pdf file to search on/in ? Our workaround for this in the past is to open to a *splash screen* and you assign an index to attach to that file, then you assign a second index to the *real* pdf file and Reader will maintain both Indexes in which to search.

I don't have a correction, but a clarification. It isn't Reader that attaches indexes, but the AutoIndex plug-in, which is included with Reader+Search. The same plug-in, used with Exchange, allows an index to be attached to a file. The Exchange version stores the index name into a PDF, in a set place. When the Reader version sees a file is being opened, it looks in that same place. If an index name is found it starts the search engine (if necessary) and attaches that one index. I have not heard of any plans to extend this function to more indexes.

There are printer drivers for Windows at least that you can set up to create TIFFs, TGAs or any of several other bitmap formats at your choice of resolution. So long as the app and driver get on well, you should be in business. SuperPrint from Zenographics is one such beastie.

We're interested in determining what it would take to make a few hundred linked PDF documents (text only) available on an intranet. Currently, we distribute the documentation on CD-ROM. However, we've had multiple organizations requesting information on implementing the documentation on an intranet. As a result, we're trying to determine what the best approach would be: 1) To open the documents within the browser window, using the Reader plug in 2) To open the documents in the Acrobat Reader, called as a helper application from the browser 3) Convert the documents to HTML, and put them on the intranet in that form Also, if you implemented option 1, would the existing links work? The files include a mix of relative (i.e., where the entire path isn't included in the link) and absolute (i.e., where the entire path is included) links. Also with option 1, is the search capability limited to just searching the open document, or is there a way of using the indices created with Catalog?

While I am not familiar with this specific utility, it has been my experience that these print driver utilities only use the low res. data from images in a page layout program to create the TIFFs. In order to get a "good" high res. TIFF (if that's what you want), a desktop RIP application may be necessary. One that comes to mind is Transverter Pro from TechPool Software .

I liked it a lot then, it got me out of a lot of jams with apps that made unimageable PS, but I can't make any claims for how the current version works. That said, understand that it's not any sort of screen capture utility. More like a GDI printer. It will give very high rez results if the app passes high rez info to the printer. IOW, no intelligent app will send it PS; it'll get the preview image instead, so EPS won't generally produce the best results. Anything that prints adequately to a non-PS printer should do well, though. At about the time I stopped using it, they added a software PS RIP (licensed from Pipeline as I recall) that could deal with EPS/PS as well. It's certainly one of those "At these prices we can't afford not to try it" deals ... last I looked, it was selling for around fifty bucks. Whether that version included ZScript (the PS RIP) or not, I don't know.

This Read Me details which problems are fixed on each platform for each component. ====================================================================== Acrobat Control for ActiveX 3.02 - Windows 95/NT Only If you are using Internet Explorer 4.0, this updated version of Acrobat Control for ActiveX fixes the following: 1. Page-at-time downloading of multi-page PDF files 2. Automatic search highlights 3. PDF form posting to secure web site ====================================================================== Acrobat Forms Update 3.5.1 This update addresses several particular behaviors in Acrobat Forms Update 3.5. These updates are for the English versions of the Acrobat Forms Update. This update fixes the following problems. Windows 95/NT, Macintosh and UNIX 1. Spawning page template using FDF caused crashing. 2. The Mouse Up action for a button was not being executed if the space bar or Enter key was used to activate the button as opposed to the mouse. 3. Some field calculations would randomly change, making the calculation incorrect, while filling a form that had a large number of fields. Windows 95/NT Using PageUp/PageDown keys on the keyboard when viewing a form inside a web browser would cause a crash. UNIX 1. The PFN alert dialog would not display a Browse dialog to locate a PFN that Acrobat was attempting to locate. 2. Submitting HTML to a server that returned FDF would not function properly.

By locating the Index Entries you can create a file (AddIndexes.Reg/DelIndexes.Reg - By saving the Correct Key(s) ) . This file can then be double clicked on to add the Indexes to the Registry and Acrobat Reader/Exchange. I just checked and the information is stored in the Registry BUT it uses Absolute Pathing (no UNC or Relative structures). Couple of considerations: 1. Path names must remain constant. 2. Reader can NOT be running when the registry file is activated (But deactivating may not be a problem). 3. You could de-activate an Index by creating another Registry file without the index, and it will overwrite the entire key (but without the Index file you want). 4. Is this Acrolegal?? 5. You could activate/deactivate the Indexes with a PDF Link to the Registry File(s) bypassing any need to send the registry files to people etc. If you want more information contact me off list. -------------------------------------------- > Another problem with autoindex feature is that you are able to > automatically add one additional index when loading a PDF file, but > not > able to remove current indexes. > So the result of your queries depend on the context of previous > searches on > every workstation. > There should be an "auto-index-off" feature ; does any implementation > exists for this concept I have just invented ? > Michel Lausseur > Aalto Consultant > > Dean Laffan a écrit: > > __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

This suggests that for whatever reason, it's trying to read a file in your RIP. Unusual! Perhaps the Mac and Windows versions generate different PostScript. That is not unusual.

Athorough look in the folder reveals 3 readme's One for 3.0 (4 Nov '96), 3.01(12 Jun '97) and 3.02 (Sep 2 '98)! I dunno why they put all those in there.

It doesnt seem to matter whether the PDF is 28 pages or 4. The file will start to open.....and then a blank page will appear and and error message will pop up. If the file is printed, the blank page prints exactly that -- nothing. Our website is physically hosted outside the company. We have to access it through a firewall. The hosting service has checked the file. It is not damaged. When downloaded to the desktop, the PDF opens fine. This seems to have started about a week ago. However, if I access the website from home, through my ISP, and open the very same file, it opens perfectly and prints ok. Could this error be caused by heavy traffic on the companys connection? The following messages are what I have documented: "There was an error processing a page. Too few operands." "An unrecognized token (3.2e) was found." "There was an error processing a page. There was an error reading this document (114)" "An unrecognized token '192.81' was found."

You print to PaperPort from Acrobat, and the PaperPort print driver creates a bit map for each page that appears on the PaperPort desktop; you can then export those images in TIFF and other image formats.

I think if memory serves you might have to copy a couple of system files but not that much more. It should be pointed out however that this is not within the spirit of the 'Standard' agreement Adobe presents. Adobe give you the software for free and it should be installed to work properly, if this means they get a wee bit of advertising from this then thats a fair play in my book Iain === What makes life worth living?

I'm usually leery of "dedicated hardware" OCR "solutions" - they are usually chased into obsolescence within months by the rising tide of cheap, high-powered gear. The question of "what machine" is actually a question of "how long do I have to do this project". With 4-5 well-tuned, high-powered Capture workstations, you would most likely complete your Capture processing in 6-7 weeks, maybe less (and that's accounting for some downtime). I would be surprised if your project spec called for much higher throughput than that. The scanning will likely take at least that long (unless you are going REALLY heavy-duty). > > I'd appreciate your help and ideas about a mega-project.

If you want to use Catalog for the _whole_ collection at once (as opposed to building several indicies), you'll want a TON of RAM on the indexing machine... To all intents and purposes, I would guess that a single Catalog index for 400,000 pages is, um, a bit much! There are more industrial-strength indexing tools for people like you.

Yes Acrobat Capture can do this. As for the indexing of Catalog of the size you are proposing, I am not sure. However, I do not think it should be too much of a problem. Even if there is, there are a number of 3rd party companies that have programs that can work in conjunction with Acrobat to organize, index, and catalog. I recommend the best equiptment you can afford. As for scanning, what type of documents are planning to scan? Double-sided (Duplex scanning) or single side? This will impact your decision. How quickly do you want this task done? It might pay to outsource all your scanning. With the little information you have supplied, it is hard to reccomend software & hardeware. I am sure that people will respond to your message and provide you with some valuable tips. Good Luck, Lawrence Spear Special Projects Specialty Valve & Fitting Co.

Adobe Capture in an excellent OCR engine, but it takes about a minute to interpret a page, and cannot be driven from the command line. We found that it rarely went as long as 100 pages without requiring an operator intervention, which was sometimes complicated. We didn't really have an appropriate task for the operator to do while waiting for Capture to halt, so the operator would usually drift off to a chore in another room. Meanwhile the engine would stop running and the OCR task would fall behind. Total output was only a couple of hours of OCR work per day. It would have been nice to have it log problems and move on, but Adobe did not agree. I had the strong feeling that the problem may have been the license agreement that Adobe had with the supplier of the OCR engine, since it was obviously in Adobe's interest to have you process as many pages as possible. (Adobe collects a penny or two for each scan via a 'coupon dongle'). I note that 400,000 pages is nearly nearly 6,000 hours of 300mHz Pentium computing. Perhaps a group of machines with one operator tending all of them would be practical. We service bureaus do about half the work, at prices ranging from 20 cents to a dollar a page. A far as I know, none ever dropped a page. One problem we always had was that no service bureau would pay attention to the naming system we adopted for the project, and we always had to do a tremendous amount of handwork renaming files and moving them among subdirectories. Surprisingly, each shipment (even to the same vendor) came back with different subdirectory names and structures. I had the impression that the operators were compromising between the specification we provided and what they found most desirable, and that they made a different compromise each time. If you use a service bureau, be sure to get the TIFF and other intermediate files back, in addition to the PDF file. If you need to make the PDFs again, it is better if you have the TIFFs. We also found that the PDF Normal format (a mixture of images and text from OCR) required substantial editing to be usable. Wrong or misspelled words were not usually a problem, but inexplicible font changes were, and the engine often thought it could turn multi-level equations into text format, which it always botched. When it realizes that a section of the page is not OCRable, it just copies a picture to the output, which is great. But it was overly optimistic about what it understood, so there were a lot of botched equations and other elements (graphs, tables, diagrams) in the final output. Theoretically there is an option to make it more conservative when deciding what it can't OCR, but it had minimal effect, even on the most conservative setting. We gave up on the Capture OCR engine and settled on Image Only format and started to use Adobe Exchange or Image Alchemy (from Handmade Software) to create the PDF files. Both of these are fast and inexpensive and the latter will run from the command line, saving labor costs when there are many PDF files. Capture has an Image Only option that would provide the same result, but we felt that if we weren't using the OCR feature of Capture, it was easier and cheaper not to use Capture at all. Our files average 30,000 bytes/page as images, so one of our documents is likely to be 1 to 2 megabytes, but the accuracy is far higher than the normal format and only a brief inspection is required of each page for quality control. The large files tough on WWW users with modems, when they want to download our documents but the alternative wouldn't have been satisfactory. The cost of disk space is trivial - 100,000 pages fit on in $1,000 worth of rotating disk. We now use an OCR engine from Vividata for scanning. It runs about 10 times as fast as Capture, and since it runs from the command line I could turn it on and run through all 100,000 pages in a couple of days with no intervention. We use the OCR output for indexing only, (using a standard web search engines rather than the Adobe search feature). There are others here with a lot more experience than I have, I know! Good luck.

The same Acrobat page can be "called" from several different HTML pages. I need to put a link on the Acrobat page to return to the calling HTML page. Since there isn't a one-to-one correspondence between the Acrobat file and the HTML file, I can't put a simple link in the Acrobat file, but I need to trigger the browsers' back button and let the browser figure where to return to. What I can't seem to do is to trigger the browsers' back button. Javascript has several functions which would work such as "history.back()" or "Variable=document.referrer", but they don't work as Javascript links in Acrobat. I get an error message saying history, (or document, etc.) is not defined. Also when I try to reference the document object model I run into the same not defined error message. The only functions that a Javascript link in an Acrobat file recognizes are just those defined by Adobe in their "Forms Javascript Object Specifications" document. The Acrobat forms Javascript specification lists several routines which also work, but only in the Acrobat context... once a Forms plug-in "goBack" function hits the start of the Acrobat file history list it stops, and won't go back to the referring HTML file. Any ideas on how I can do this? Also- I noticed in the SDK a plug in code sample in the unsupported section called GoBackPlus, but I can't determine whether this would do the job. The documentation is a little vague and the compiled plug-in is not supplied. Thanks for any help!

The command-line issue is significant, but we usually get higher throughput than that. Throw lots of machine at Capture! 256 MB of RAM and a heavy-duty P-II screamer with SCSI should do the trick. Good networking is a MUST. As to reliability, our experience with the 2.01 Capture engine - which is certianly capable of crashing - is better than your own, I guess. We do overnight runs on multiple machines all the time, losing maybe 1 in 5 or 6 part-way through. This is too bad (especially because of the dongle), but... far better than the 100 page limit you describe. Network optomization, overall system stability, and most of all - HIGHEST QUALITY tiffs are vital! > Total output was only a couple of hours of OCR work > per day. Ouch!

I've heard this so many times... Good service bureaus will ASK you what filename and directory structure you need. Sometimes, they'll try to talk you into something that's "easy" for them (like sequentially-numbered files). But usually, they won't ask.... (Unlike many, my company, DSI, actually DOES provide data structuring and naming as a specific service for our clients who need it). > If you use a > service bureau, > be sure to get the TIFF and other intermediate files back, in > addition to > the PDF file.

A good service provider should be willing to correct reasonable errors and provide an update.

I have had this discussion MANY times too. (broken needle dept.) To sucessfully create acceptable PDF/Normal files in a COST EFFECTIVE manner, you need: a) The BEST, I mean, REALLY GOOD tiffs, cleaned, deskewed, de-speckled (but not TOO aggressively), black-borders removed, rotated to portrait, etc, etc, etc., all BEFORE the Capture run. It takes a high degree of organziation and quality control to do this on any scale - but it's worth LOTS for Capture efficiency and overall reduction in brain damage. b) An understanding of how Capture will react to your pages. Some pages are "simple" in layout, some are "complex". Each of the specific OCR and page-recognition problems you allude to can be squashed, or addressed systematically in TIFF preperation to facilitate a high-volume production process. c) An acceptance of the FACT (sorry, Adobe Capture folks) that Capture OCR and page-recognition simply does not permit high-grade PDF/Normal "ex machina" (DSI-speak for "from the machine"). Nor, for that matter, does any other product on the market at this time. Too many folks are trying desperately to avoid the nasty reality that Acrobat Capture Reviewer IS needed to address issues ranging from font normalization to graphics zoning. d) Well-trained, highly motivated and closely supervised ACD operators who know all the tricks. We charge much more for "cleaned" PDF/Normal because it take time and skill to do - and people who need it line up to get it. Reason: the product blows the doors off of "ex machina". Obviously, in mega-volume, or on a micro-budget, cleaned PDF/Normal can be cost-prohibitive. Expect and demand that your service bureau work with you to understand your requirements. Not infrequently, the questions we ask our clients reveal that PDF/I+T would be acceptable, or even PDF/IO (Image Only). Sometimes, we hybridize all three basic file types to achieve a mix that meets each project need in the most cost-effective manner. PDF/Normal, /I+T and /IO files (not to mention electronically-sourced PDF) can even coexist in a single document, after all. > We gave up on the Capture OCR engine and settled on Image > Only format and > started to use Adobe Exchange or Image Alchemy (from Handmade > Software) to > create the PDF files.

That is fer sure! There are lots of other options for PDF/Image Only - no problem there! 'nuff said. Look, not all paper-to-PDF jobs NEED or should even CONSIDER Acrobat Capture. BUT, for good, font-matched PDF/Normal, especially if your conversion includes complex layouts, the use of color, zoned images, etc, etc., there's still nothing else. Just...don't think it's a pushbutton affair!

But, you must not have understood my message -- this procedure DOES NOT SHOW the program ACRODIST nor any file type PS! Apparently when Adobe Acrobat 3.0 is installed it fixes the registry so that this file association is true; but, it is not revealed in the procedure that you mentioned (and the one that I have tried). Thus, it is not possible to associate .PS with another application -- if I try "new" while in this procedure it does recognize that .PS is associated with ACRODIST (does not allow me to associate another application with the same type). This is what my problem is about. --VPS __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

If you select edit, you should be able to change to Ghostwriter. Given the problems you report, you might have to work through the individual entries one-by-one, but looking at entries for distiller should do it. If Windows is invoking Distiller when you double click, it more or less has to be there somewhere. If not, you'll probably have to start hacking through the registry. Make a backup -- good luck!

You get a preseparated PDF. That means you have four files separated into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Such files normally are easy to output with Acrobat Reader. Sometimes the screen angles are wrong. Check for that. 2. You get a composite PDF in CMYK color space. Now you need Crackerjack to do an output. Crackerjack defines the screen settings. 3. You get composite PDF in RGB color space. When I did test that version I couldn't find a solution. But I didn't test the newest Crackerjack version. Maybe it can handle that PDF version now. If the images have embedded ICC profiles, then there are methods to work with INRip-separation to get the right result out. 4. Maybe you have an other situation. I can think of some but wont elaborate about them here. Give more details if you need further help.

HELP!HELP! HELP! I work for a large newspaper in San Bernardino CA and we're getting more and more PDF's in for our ads we also are beginning to send PDF's to other papers. My problem is that when I send a color PDF to the printer it doesn't separate properly. I either get the same amount of colors on each separation or it just doesn't come thru properly. My distiller is set up properly and I don't have "CMYK to RGB checked. I'm really stumped and don't know how to fix it. Can any of you PRO's out there help me?????? ----------------------- Here are a few comments that I hope will move you toward a solution to separating color images at the printer. Spot color gave us problems til we made some adjustments. HTH. Which ppd are you using? To retain spot color info, ie to prevent spot color conversion to process color, move the prologue.ps and epilogue.ps files fromthe Xtras folder to the Distiller folder. Then restart Distiller. Duotone .eps files, spot to spot color gradients, and colorized .tiff files must be preseparated prior to distilling, if you're using a level 1 or 2 printer. To distill these file types, select Apply transfer functions in the Distiller job options dialog box. Colleen Boyce Graco, Inc.

Neal ==== Searchable PDF's delivered BYTESERVED over the Internet Gist This procedure outlines the steps required to search several PDF files using HTML code installed on a web page. Goal Provide the web site viewing customer the ability to enter catalog data (model numbers, loads, lengths, etc.,) click SEND, then have an html page displayed with a list of links. The customer reviews the list, then clicks on the link they feel is the most appropriate. This action displays a single page from one of the five catalogs. Inputs I have five PDF files of five catalogs. Files originated in Adobe Pagemaker, exported to PDF, were then distilled (saved as) with the Acrobat Exchange to be BYTESERVABLE (one page at a time). At this point, I think I have to create an index file using all five catalogs as a source. I think the index file is what actually gets searched by the query form. Outputs The link created with the search program must return the page of the PDF file. The page must be included with the link, so when the link is clicked, it sends this information to the byteserveable PDF file to display the correct page using the Adobe Acrobat reader. Insights Acrobat has built-in search and find commands for specific tests. The customer can use these while a catalog is displayed. So, there is already a "manual" mode. Since there are only five catalogs, some customers may choose to go directly to the catalog and skip the search functionality. Adobe does NOT make a search engine that enables you to search the contents of all PDF files on a web site. Adobe does make a PDF Ifilter plug-in for Microsoft Index Server. There are third-party PDF search engines. They are expensive. They are probably more powerful and function rich than what we need for our application. Background The Microsoft Index Server (MS IS) is a search engine for the Microsoft Information Server and Windows NT Server. It allows any web browser to search a document for key words, phrases, or properties. Adobe has built a PDF IFilter plug-in to be used with the MS IS to enable indexing of PDF files (either singly or in a group). Articles discussing main aspects of this process: www.adobe.com (then click search, enter IFilter or pdf search or pdf catalog or search pdf or catalog pdf) www.itsoftware.com/help/default.htm (MS IS guide) Gotcha's Somewhere I have read that the Microsoft IE browser supports a single page found by a search engine where the Netscape browser does not. If this turns out to be true, we will have to mention this to our customers on the page containing the search input form. They will have to go to the IE if they want the PDF search to work. Server Install the Microsoft Index Server Software Install the Adobe IFilter Web Understand the whole querying process. There are several files that have to be created and installed on the web server to support the search engine HTML code placed on the web page (one .idq file and one .htx file in addition to the file that contains the HTML code containing the query form.) The HTML code could be placed on an existing web page, of course. The .idq file contains information that is passed into the seach engine along with keywords the customer enters into the query form. It defines query parameters such as the scope of the search, any restrictions, and query results sets. The .htx file contains variables that refer to data in a query results set. It defines the page header that displays the query restriction and the documents displayed on the page the user sees. The .htx file is written in tandem with the variables in the .idq file. The .htx file is a template that formats how results are returned to the user. There exist sample .idq and .htx files. So, what I have to figure out is how to write an .idq file and .htx file to display the found results of a search and make sure that the displayed HTML code displayed on the returned page is indeed a clickable, working link. I also have to create the code to include on a web page to display the query box, as well copy the support files for the query box. QUERY (this goes on the PRODUCTS page)
Enter your query:
IDQ [Query] CiColumns= CiFlags= CiRestriction=%CiRestriction% CiMaxRecordsInResultSet=100 CiMaxRecordsPerPage=10 CiScope=/pdfs CiTemplate=/_private/query.htx CiSort=rank[d] CiCatalog= (CiCatalog points to the index to use, I think this means that we have to create an index of the five PDF files, then store it on the server... I think Acrobat Exchange will do this for us, it also sounds like something the MS IS does with a daemon in the background) Figure out how to configure the HTX to send back the PDF filespec, as well as the page within that PDF file. This should be in the index file pointed to by the variable CiCatalog, I think This is a sample HTX and I will have to figure out how to edit it to be in synch with the IDQ file to display the correct link back to the found page within the PDF file located on the server. HTX <%if CIMatchedRecordCount eq 0%>

"<%CiRestrictionHTML%>" information not found in catalogs.

<%else%>

I will suggest to our clients to select "Use page cache". For those who were interested in The PDF Bible discussion, I purchased the book only to find that for questions about topics like choosing "Use page cache" on the Preferences dialog box, the author (Mark Witkowski) only provides a list of selections one can make (the obvious). He does not provide explanations for these selections, except for font smoothing (p. 191-192). When I purchase a book that proposes to be so inclusive of information beyond current market sources that it can call itself a "bible," I expect more detailed explanations than the online help. In this case, Mark provided less of an explanation. --Karen Aandi wrote: I can't think why it should be off.

Invariably a user will have v2.1 already installed from the install of a browser or other web utility (yet they don't know it). Our files require them to use 3.0.x., which they are instructed to download and use. I have found that most users have the bad habit of just double-clicking on files, rather than launching the proper app and doing a File/Open. So many times our users have trouble with our files, because Windows choses automatically to open the (double-clicked) PDF file using v2.1 instead of 3.0.x.

We use Acrobat on our Cd and distribute 6000 copies every 4 months. This also includes a plug in. The problem we have is when the user has or has had multiple installations of reader on the machine. It would appear that other distributors do not stick to the default c:\acrobat3\reader location (Auto desk is one). When you want to include a plug-in even a search for acrord32.exe cannot always work and acrobat cannot find the plug in. As we cannot amend the Installer Adobe need to make sure that any subsequent install 3.0 to 3.01 for example removes the old one. Also the installer needs to check for existing installations. Anyone else had problems/solutions in this area ?

According to the Developer FAQ, no part of Acrobat is supported
as an NT service (http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk).  Is that
the same as a Network Service?

But, I have seen reports that Microsoft's SVRANY is successful for
Distiller.

If the conversion to PostScript outputs Level 1 PostScript, every compressed image is decompressed. For Level 2 images remain compressed, so besides some overhead for turning PDF code into PostScript code you should not see much difference in file sizes.

There are many more parts to this problem, in addition to the ones you've mentioned. First, I would not suggest looking for ACRORD32.EXE, since this is subject to change. The only reasonably safe way to look for Acrobat is to examine the appropriate registry keys, which will then allow you to extract the path to where the executable is installed. Of course, this will only work if Acrobat has been installed correctly! There are (far too) many PCs where users have used their own home-grown Installers, or have just copied the Acrobat directories to their hard disk, or are executing Acrobat off a server disk, etc.; in these situations, where the expected Registry entries don't exist or are only partially correct, you'll have a hard time with any installer for your own modules. And, of course, there are those PCs where multiple versions of Acrobat attempt to coexist, either on purpose or (more commonly) out of users' ignorance; most people just don't know that they should remove the prior version before installing the new one, and the Acrobat installer provides no support for checking to make sure that prior versions have been removed. I agree that the Acrobat Installer needs to be updated: 1. To InstallShield Version 5, so that it can be more seamlessly incorporated into a series of other setups. 2. To check for any/all prior versions of Reader and/or Exchange, to warn the user and provide guidance, and to give the user choices for uninstalling the prior version(s) either automatically or manually. ABCPY.INI is a nice first step toward more customized installations, but another level of sophistication in the logic of the installer itself is needed to deal with pre-existing versions.

I agree. We have the problem of needing to have Acrobat Reader 3.01 rather than 3.0 available because we also need to have JavaScript support with Forms 3.5. On the Mac there is no ABCPY.INI and if you want to call the existing Mac installers for installing both the Reader and the Form Filler plug-in then you can't because the installers insist on closing all other applications, including the calling installer. This means that the users on the Mac have to run three separate installs in the correct order: 1. Acrobat Reader 2. Form Filler plug-in 3. Our custom plug-ins.

There are automation tools to help with this (ScanFix comes to mind), but, yes, manual rotation is sometimes necessary, but worth it. When you read the manual, you'll discover that Capture claims the capacity to rotate your pages correctly. However... after a while, you'll figure out that it's better not to trust Capture too far on this. > Does anyone know any applications that can "rotate all pages"? > Currently, we have tried the Wang Image software that now comes in the > Win 95 accessories, as well as Photoshop 4. The WangImage thing is junk. Photoshop could do it... but you're using (I hope) Group 4 TIFFs...which photoshop can't open... As above - ScanFix. > Also, we are doing Image and Text PDF, so I imagine this produces the > biggest files.

Unless the prospective download audience are all using T1 lines, I+T is a pain! You may wish to consider going for PDF/Normal. With training and careful instruction, good PDF/Normal results can be had with a (relative) minimum of human intervention. Contrary to popular belief, achieving this happy state of affairs is not mean trick. Many folks outsource their PDF/Normal conversions because it's often cost-effective to do so. Really all depends on the complexity of the page layouts, the nature of the text (< 9 point text, itals, etc) the quality of your scans and the training and skill of the conversion operators. regards, Duff Johnson President, Document Solutions, Inc. 1611 Telegraph Avenue, Suite 1010 Oakland, CA 94612 510-986-0250 FAX: 510-986-0636 duffj@document-solutions.com www.document-solutions.com __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

You will use these PDFs and process them again (printing to PS file, distill with appropriate settings). Of course, you will lose all links, bookmarks etc. But as your originals most likely don't have any of these, you won't lose much. And the extra cost this Reader 2 compatibility requirement causes, may bring your client to reason . (maybe someone else would have to talk to them....) Take care.

I have a group of designers who need to deliver frequently changing CMYK images to people in diverse locations. Previously this was done by spending a day creating a Quark document, printing out copies, and FedEx-ing them around the world. However, I set up a procedure where similar pages are generated and displayable through our intranet. There are two problems with this: One, the images have to be converted from CMYK to RGB, which obviously causes color shifting; two, we're limited by the Netscape printing capabilities, mostly as it relates to color (i.e., there's even more color shifting). While this system is good for giving people a general idea about product colors, as time has gone on the color shifting has become less and less satisfactory. Therefore, I've been in need of a way to deliver these images in as close to their original state as possible. The best thing to do, obviously, would be to just put those images (compressed TIFFs) as links from their associated thumbnails (which don't have to be color correct). Unfortunately, there's a hitch to that. Significant amounts of information (regions, model names, color callouts, etc.) are stored in the file name, and this information needs to be parsed (it's in a coded, abbreviated form) and presented when the image is viewed or printed. Because these images change frequently (sometimes more than once a day, during the final decision period), it would be overly tedious to constantly be adding this information to the image via Photoshop or some other editing tool. (Unless, of course, there's some way to "script" that action.) My solution thus far has targeted PDF. PDF is capable of supporting a CMYK color space, has a file size similar to the original compressed TIFF, and can be easily delivered via an intranet site. To add the file name information, I've written a Perl program that takes the image stream from the image file (which has been saved from Photoshop as a CMYK PDF), combines it with the parsed file name information, and puts it into a new PDF file, which is either streamed or otherwise sent to the user's browser. On screen this all works perfectly; however, the created file cannot be sent to a Postscript printer. (There doesn't seem to be a problem with PCL printers though.) Since the printers people would be sending these files to are Postscript, this has become a stumbling block to my solution. As I said, I've been working on this -- off and on -- for a couple months, but now I'm out of options. My designers would like to see some solution soon, and I'd like to give them one. Everyone agrees that returning to the Quark method is the least desireable thing to do, because the web has provided greater turn around time and flexibility in presentation. Any thoughts you have, either on alternate solutions or on repairing my PDF solution, would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information, and I will try to provide it (there's some confidentiality to the images involved though).

Zooming in on the photos show a pixelated view, not a clear image like the 300 dpi original. I am on a Mac and the photos are 5 file DCS images. I have changed the Distiller settings of: Downsample to 72 dpi to 300 dpi and other higher settings. Turned off the compression checkmarks. Played with all of the compression settings variables.

When pre-converting images, you might wish to use Photoshop 4 with its more traditional RGB space which almost entirely encompasses CMYK for most uses.

If the hi-rez images are TIFF, I'd be tempted to try scripting Photshop's QuickEdit function to add in the required information to the hi-rez image file - not as an internal Photoshop action, but through a system-level events script that accesses this functionality within the program. In that way, you could draw from other sources for the naming convention that you are seeking to maintain. Otherwise, I would have a look at the watermarking option as a scriptable routine. Also, since this IS a PDF forum, I think you might get an answer from someone who has your plug-in ready and waiting for action.

I thought the same thing and was elated when our company finally went to Acrobat 3 across our enterprise. Then all the LAN and print servers began having noteworthy difficulty as everyone tried to print to all their nonpostscripting HP laserjets. Now, many people actively despise the PDF format. Sometimes it's a good thing to be cautious...it would have saved me trouble if we had been more conservative and less trusting.

Hi Tony, Since the central placement file of the DCS structure is limited to 72 dpi anyway, unless you have a customized export filter for changing this value, you are stuck with a low-rez preview. However, you can greatly improve the look of this image by selecting JPEG as the preview format instead of 8-bit. This will not affect the image printability on Level 1 PostScript devices since this applies only to the preview information. Do NOT select JPEG as the ENCODING method unless you are in a strictly PS Level 2 environment. As for printing the hi-rez version of the file out to a proofing device, you might consider using DCS 2.0 format which can recombine the five files into a single file. This will give you fast screen previews, faster downloads than printing standard single-file eps images and the same option to use a JPEG Preview. I can't remember off the top of my head whether checking the Preserve OPI Comments will also respect the DCS file linking convention or if it only applies to standard OPI commentary. If it does support this, you would only need to use your current format (5 file DCS) and supply the four hi-rez plates to anyone who needs finer printing capability.

I mean that they show up low-res in the PDF file. Ok, here is your problem. I assume you are making a composite PDF (that is, a colour one, not separations). In that case, DCS is not suitable. You'd see the same effects with direct colour printing. The 5-file images contain 4 high res plates and a low res full colour image, intended only for rough proofing. DCS is just incompatible with composite workflows, unless you have an application which makes a high res full colour image - which Photoshop won't. So, nothing is wrong but your expectations!

Lots of detail here, but nothing where it counts - what exactly happens with a PostScript printer? If it's PostScript errors, or no symptoms (which may be the same thing) see http://www.quite.com/ps/errors.htm. It isn't clear to me if you are generating PDF at a low level. If you are, pay very close attention to the /ProcSet resources. This is often overlooked, and messes up PostScript printing good and proper.

One minor point of correction, in terms of page-at-a-time access, Netscape browsers perform according to spec. They work fine. You can have individual links to specific pages within a long PDF document. That's not news. Getting it to work over the Web is the rub. MSIE seems to ignore byteserving, and any evidence to the contrary is eagerly sought. (anybody from Microsoft listening?) To be able to search remote PDF collections, there has to be a Search Engine on the remote server or thereabouts. That's the thing that translates HTML Search entries into Info Retrieval queries. Your local Acrobat Search only works on PDF on your computer.

IE3 and IE4 both work with byteserving. Be sure you aren't using "byteserving" to mean "links to named destinations through HTML". That isn't what it means at all.

I had a different experience with BYTESERVING. The Netscape 4.0 worked AOK with my tests. The MSIE required some tweaking. First, I had to uninstall the Acrobat 3.0, then reload the latest Acrobat 3.01 (I believe). Then I had to install an oex deal.

I will have to clear that up. MS does support byteserving, and you are quite right about the server. I found to byteserve, three things had to be switched correctly: 1 - the file itself must be byteservable (it has to be distilled and "saved as" and the distill option clicked). I created the PDF from an Adobe Postscript file, then enhanced (distilled) it in Adobe Exchange. 2 - the server has to support byteserving (My customer's server is using MS so this was ok by default) The www.adobe.com web site has a white paper that tells which servers support byteserving 3 - the browser has to be set for byteserving. Netscape 4.0 is OK by default. MSIE needs Acrobat 3.01 plus a bug fix: (I would suggest uninstalling Acrobat 3.0 first as well) Here is what Yannick sent me... Hi Neal, No! The Acrobat 3.01 setup and the ActiveX update setup are two different setups! 1- Install first the Acrobat 3.01 setup, 2- then install the ActiveX Update ( only for IE 4.0!). You will find it under http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/ocxreader.html Hope this helps, sorry for the confusion in my draft. I will fix that. __________________________________________________________________ Neal Anderson http://www.vii.com/~neal (an hour a day, keeps the bill collector away) http://www.aros.net/~habitat (building homes for the working poor, a hand UP not a hand OUT) Act as if what you do makes a difference.

It worked fine. Then we upgraded to Winword97 and converted the documentation to this format (always when we changed some document, we simply saved it in the new Winword format). All the time, we are using the same PDF writer (3.0x). And from that point on, we have troubles with the converted PDF documents. The PDF writer does not indicate any error but the PDF files are often "corrupt". The contents disappears when viewing (some pages are simply blank), sometimes the Acrobat Viewer even brings up an error when opening the PDF file. Has somebody experienced similar problems?

Apparently, in one of the many iterations of my program (probably when I was working out something with the image data stream), the /Text resource disappeared. Once that was back in, everything was working fine and tests from the users look good. Thanks again for the help. Sometimes staring at the same code really does cause blindness.

It is possible, if this is the case, that the Printer Drivers are interpreting the hidden text as raw ASCII in need of conversion. All of the above being true, have you tried using a PostScript-only printer driver that won't allow for the alternate language options to kick in? Many (maybe all) recent HP LaserJet models will permit multiple languages to be operational at the same time. You can try turning off these additional languages at the printer setup menu (on top of the laser) but this won't avoid the problem that other similar users will experience if these files are distributed. The ideal solution would be to use the cleanest Chooser-level device when making your original PDF files. I have never had this type of problem when using PSPrinter 8.3.1 - try that on for size.

It's "buried." Thanks. I missed them first time round. I note however, that there isn't actually a new OS/2 version - it is still the v 3.00 from Jul 97 - which is much slower even than v 3.00 for Win and has rather more *features* (read bugs and strange behaviour). (I run both platforms.) Would anyone from Adobe care to comment on when (if?) there will be a new OS/2 version.

If the hidden text you're talking about is contained in multiple Quark text boxes, are the "hidden" ones in question simply covered up by the top-most text box or another Quark object? Or have you defined the "hidden" text as non-printing by checking "Suppress Printout" in the Modify dialog? If you're just covering up text boxes (without suppressing printout), then yes all the text will make it into the PDF, and who knows how that will be treated by the different recipes of OSs, print drivers and printer languages. If this is situation, I would use "Suppress Printout" to turn off/turn on the unwanted text and recreate the PDF files with only the needed information.

The documents are ideal for printing. * Tuesday, Oct. 13 -- LensWork Quarterly & Multimedia Edition --------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/lenswork.html One of the best sources of visual content in PDF is the quarterly publication for photographic artists. LensWork recently announced a multimedia version available on CD-ROM, with weblinks from the pdf files to RealAudio clips from photographer interviews. Free samples available. * Wednesday, Oct. 14 -- Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) ------------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/flu-vaccine.html With flu season soon to begin, CDC is providing pdf-based versions of several of its Vaccine Information Statements in PDF, covering influenza and several other diseases against which vaccinations are -- or soon will be in most communities -- available. * Thursday, Oct. 15 -- PC Week Online ---------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/pcweek-mag.html The weekly ZDNet publication is also available in PDF, as are a number of other technology oriented publications. Unlike many others, PC Week shows a good understanding of the technology, most especially the built-in navigation features (bookmarks, internal links, weblinks, etc) that allow viewers to focus on *reading* the content rather than on trying to find it. [NOTE to Apple evangelists -- despite the appearance of Bill Gates on the most recent issue's cover, it appears the producers of PC Week in PDF are fellow Mac (Distiller) enthusiasts.] * Friday, Oct. 16 -- The Vatican and L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO newspaper ------------------ http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/pope-vatican.html Another of his many historic achievements was marked this day by Pope John Paul II, who became the Holy Father exactly 20 years ago. The Vatican City-based L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO newspaper dates from 1861, and in recent years has adapted to changing communication tools & technologies. PDF-based editions (weekly & daily) are available in several languages from The Holy See Web site. NOTE: depending on one's browser configuration, the pdf files may open into the frames-based browser window, thus reducing considerably in physical size -- definitely *not* readable on line within the partial browser window. * An archive of previous Showcase selections is also available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/sharchive.html * The most recent selection is always available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/ === PDF Showcase is a weekday feature of PDFzone.COM, an independent resource and hub site for users of Adobe Acrobat & pdf.

The problem is how to rotate pages aqquired automatically from scanner, when page orientation needs a rotation to make page readable using Acrobat Reader. Any suggestions about how to decide from a script if the page needs to be rotated ? Thank to everybody for any suggestion.

I was using PageMaker 6.5 on Windows 98. It appeared fine on screen (and had printed correctly in other locations in the document). When distilled, the document had the correct font sitting on the bottom and the equivalent characters in a different typeface floating above as if on a layer. Adobe was no help. Finally, I tried rebooting my machine and it was fine on the next attempt. My guess was that I was low on memory. PageMaker has been notorious over the years for problems like this. It used to occasionally drop lines into a page when printed that were invisible on screen for the same situation. My guess is that a reboot may take care of it.

The "safest" thing to do is to have uninstalled 3.01 before you installed 3.02. But, if you had 3.01 with Search, them simplest thing to do install 3.02 on top of 3.01 and then remove this plug-in and then to remove the shortcuts that still refer to 3.01.

We have a problem where we have an acd file which looks fine as far as the spacing of characters in a line. However, when saved as a pdf and opened in exchange, the spacing of the characters in some of the lines is very slim or looks non-existent. The characters look all pushed together. If we change the value in "text attributes" to (+) 100 or so (it is always a negative # of about 200 or so) then that pdf line is fixed and looks fine. Why are some lines which looked fine before, messed up by saving as a pdf? If there is not a solution to this problem could a plugin be written for Exchange that would search a pdf for AV<-- --> AV text attribute values of less than _________ and replace with ________?

I think that the problem is tied into the program you're using. If you have Reader 3.01 in the Acrobat3 directory that uses the AFILL32.API and you also have Reader 3.02, that's probably the problem. The problem wouldn't be between Exchange and Reader. If you have the two versions of Reader, you may want to move one off of your PC and try opening Reader again. I don't think you'll get the error message.

Another problem/wish list item. All of the documents we produce have indexes with lots of dot leaders (i.e. ....................). Is there a plug-in that any body knows of that will go through a pdf and find ___________ and replace with ________? Right know we are doing the "find and replace" but you have to click "find next" and "replace" each time. If there is no way to do this or plugin out there that does this, could one be written?

I have an application which creates a report in real time and prints it on a PDF Writer to generate real time PDF documents. This application works in the batch mode. I need to run this application as an NT Service. Now whenever, I run it as an NT Service, my Acrobat Writing fails because it does not find the Acrobat Writer Name in the Printers. This same application if I run it normally (not as an NT Service) works fine. I also tried to create a postscript file & then distill it. But that also fails because it does not find the PostScript Printer Name. Has anybody faced such problem or have any idea about this? Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

(ie. - (){}[]'*" etc.) I wrestled with this for over 3 months and the solution is to use Distiller to create the PDF. . Justin Blocksom Printing & Publications Corp.

I searched the Adobe website and found no answer to the following question: Does the 3.02 release contain the PCL printing fix of the 3.01RA release? Is 3.02 still beta at this time? Can anyone direct me to some release notes for 3.02? It would be nice if my customers would no longer need to install the 3.01RA fix after installing the 3.01 reader so they can print to PCL printers. Thanks in advance! Regards, Chris Curley Doc.

Using Touch-up (the T icon) and 2. Using Exchange 3.0. Many problems with this go away if you use Exchange 3.01. But I'll add this: in my opinion the touch up tool was only conceived to help with Capture, and isn't intended as a heavyweight editing tool. It's better to change your original, though only you know whether you are running the risk of losing changes by not applying to the original... or, look into Pitstop (www.enfocus.com).

When I make any kind of change to text, all of my images disappear. This has happened twice on two different documents. It has happened to a friend of mine that works on a PC [I work on a Mac]. My work around has been to make any changes back in Quark but that is very time consuming for small changes. Is this a feature or do I merely have to uncheck something after I am done editing?

A customer sent us postscript files with embedded fonts that were produced on a Xyvision system. The problem didn't appear until we edited the text in Exchange and found, as you said, '¬' replacing the tab. We also found math symbols (square root, etc.) disappearing. It took headscratching and a font utility from an archaic Penta system to track the problem. With the utility, we printed out font maps of the embedded fonts (common postscript fonts) and compared them to our Adobe version fonts. I don't know how the customer managed it, but the fonts embedded in the files were not the same fonts they used when they printed. (We had a copy of the printed product) Sure enough, the '¬' was in the position of the tab and nothing was in the position of the square root, etc. We had to strip out the embedded font information from the postscript files and replace them with the correct versions. Problem solved. Hope this helps.

I did test Acrobat Reader 3.02 with a PDF file that had a screen capture and it printed fine on our PCL HP printer. I'm convinced that this version has the PCL fix included. Karen, According to my colleague, Acrobat 3.02 does have some bug fixes for PCL printing. If you found out Acrobat 3.02 still has problem in printing screen captured images, you can send me a sample file and I can try it here with our development release. Thanks.

(Note that the RA patch will not work against the 7/02/97 version, which is what you get with the self-extracting Reader with Search.) So 3.02 includes the RA patch. Moreover, 3.02 includes the same ActiveX control update (1.3.170) that was recently released. The Forms software included with 3.02 seems to be later than what was recently released. The file AFILL32.API which was installed with the Forms update I downloaded from the Web (11/25/97) has a version stamp of 3.05. The one installed with 3.02 (7/6/98) has a version stamp of 3.5.1.0. Be aware that the Forms update installs an older version of the ActiveX control, so you need to install the Forms update and then the ActiveX control update--if you apply these patches. I haven't yet seen a release of 3.02 with Search. As I previously recommended, what I would do is 1. Install Acrobat Reader 3.01 with Search. 2. Install Acrobat Reader 3.02 into the same directory. 3. Remove the plug-in called AFORM32.API. 4. Remove all shortcuts that include 3.01 in their descriptions. This will leave you with Acrobat Reader 3.02 with Search.

Sometimes you can reduce it by defining a solid fill for the button even if that is theoretically unnecessary, the solid colour a closer match for the button in front. Aandi We are designing fields that display a thin, blue line box around the field during MouseEnter. We designed this so that users have a visual indication of a multiple choice answer they are about to make. Whenever the mouse cursor moves over the fields, there is a brief white flash. If the file is on a Web server, the page redraws as well. Each multiple choice answer includes a mouse up action that displays a pop-up alert window.

Probably using Acrobat. If ALL your clients plan to put the file on their web pages, why not just e-mail them the PDF file (attach it to an E-mail). Then, they would save it to their computer, then upload it to their server. They would link to the file by placing something like this on their web page: Click here to view catalog.

Any ideas about why these things are happening and what we can do to fix these problems? --Karen __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

Sometimes you can reduce it by defining a solid fill for the button even if that is theoretically unnecessary, the solid colour a closer match for the button in front.

It only does one worksheet at a time, and my *.xls file has about 15 worksheets in it. Is there a way to generate a complete PDF with PDFWriter? I'm using Excel for Office 97. I appear to have the correct *.xla file. And secondly, is it correct behavior in Capture (2.01) that all TIF images must be rotated "North-South" for OCR to take place? I have a document set that involves turn pages, and it's appearing to be necessary to use a TIF editor to Rotate the image before it is sent to PDF. Any help appreciated.

What you are missing is that PDF is not intended as a graphical format. That's why trying to do this gives less than satisfactory results. Still, if you work exclusively with PostScript printers, you may get happier (and certainly smaller) results using EPS export.

Definitely not ideal - and I'd really question the choice of PDF for something you later want to work with in this way; but if you must, try zooming in AFTER selecting the image and BEFORE copying, to increase the resolution.

I use BCL-Computers "PDForte," a plug-in for Exchange 3.01, to capture and extract graphics into both MS programs. For the graphics, Forte allows you to specify the dpi you need. (This assumes that your PDF file has retained the original 300 dpi information from a distilled PS file, Capture PDFs may be out of luck.) I suspect that the text could also be extracted using PDForte, since it has that capability. You will have to do some Word 97 formatting to make it look like the original PDF pages. I hope I haven't exposed too much of my naivete on this PDF issue.

Optimized (or unoptimized) PDF files over only 4Mb or greater will not open in an internet browser via the Acrobat plug-in (Netscape 4 or Internet Explorer 4.01)when activated from a link on an html page that is resident on a local drive or CD. The same 4Mb or greater file(s) will open when accessed via the same html file and link if resident on a http server. The files do open directly in Reader or Exchange as expected. The symptoms of the fault appear as the now well known 'white screen of death'. ie, The browser displays only a white area where the pdf file would normally be displayed. This has been cured in the past by the Adobe Active-X fix (now built in to Acrobat Reader 3.02), but it does not appear to work on files greater than 4Mb. I have tried to ascertain whether or not it is PDF files that are possibly corrupt by opening them in Acrobat Exchange and gradually deleting pages and saving. The file will not be displayed in a browser window until the file size drops below 4Mb. I need to know how to work around this problem so that subsections of our intranet which contains html pages of links to PDF documents may be transferred to CD-ROM. I do not want to break my PDF files down in to smaller chunks as this would prevent internal pdf links from being created automatically.

The bug appears to be caused by the Adobe browser plug-in's inability to read local files > 4MB. I've tested this with MS IE 4.01, under Win NT 4, using the current Acrobat OCX. My test case (using unaltered PDFs that I happened to have handy): 4,024,918 bytes (3931KB) : works! 4,188,769 bytes (4091KB) : fails (white screen, as described) Oddly, 4MB = 1024 x 1024 x 4 = 4,194,304 So, the file size that fails is actually just short of 4MB. I don't think this is due to any file corruption; it's a bug for the Acrobat engineers. One workaround might be to convert all of your HTML pages to PDF. You'll have to create all of the cross-document links again, of course. But this eliminates the browser and plug-in from the picture entirely. i.e., it's a pure PDF, no HTML, solution. Let us know if you get any response from Adobe about this bug!

Now Atlas Games offers the opportunity to put yourself in the devilish role of Spam King/Queen. Download the pdf-based rules for "Spammers," and follow an example game between Satan himself and two CEOs sometimes viewed as earthly demons: Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple Computers' Steve Jobs. (Not to spoil the ending, but the horned one is the first to falter.) * Tuesday, Oct. 20 -- "PDF at the Bat" --------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/sd-padres.html Showcase predicted that unless the San Diego Padres could stock its lineup with a secret weapon or two from the area-based Navy or Marines, the National League team likely would prove no match for the New York Yankees in the 1998 World Series. Subsequent events proved out that scenario, with the Bronx baseballers sweeping four straight games to win the major league championship. The only category in which the Padres seemed to hold an edge was its use of PDF, offering free player profiles from its Web site. * Wednesday, Oct. 21 -- "Tracking Beanie Babies" ------------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/beanie-babies.html Rather than salting away their allowances, many young tycoons seem to prefer investing -- in fast-breeding stuffed animals known as Beanie Babies. With this free checklist in PDF, children can track which they already own, which new ones they need to watch for, and which of their aging critters has been "retired" (and thus worth more $). Up-to-date as of October 1. * Thursday, Oct. 22 -- "More Power, Less Dollar" ---------------------- http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/home-power.html Environmentally aware Netizens who lust for (natural) power have a valuable resource at their fingertips -- at least if their fingers are directing a pdf-enabled Web browser. Home Power Magazine decided to make its subscription-based publication, a "Hands-On Journal of Home-Made Power," freely available online. Showing a sensitivity toward users that many considerably larger epubs could stand to emulate, the Oct/Nov. issue of HP is available in several formats, including PDF. Additionally, the issue can be downloaded as one large pdf file, or in four smaller, optimized segments. Not bad for a family-publishing team that lives nearly eight miles from the nearest utility and phone lines. * Friday, Oct. 23 -- "Students Demolish PCs!" ------------------ http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/computer-demolition.html No, it's not an attack of teenage Luddites. The so-called 'demolition' is actually an organized educational project where students learn how and why computers work -- by taking them apart and then rebuilding them. (The PC at the core of such a project, an initiative developed by Vermont-based Mountain ClockWorks, should be an old one, acquired very cheap if not free.) According to the producers, who are offering their "Computer Demolition Handbook" free in pdf: "You have to demolish technology to understand it." No hammers! You'll only need a couple nutdrivers of different sizes. === * An archive of previous Showcase selections is also available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/sharchive.html * The most recent selection is always available at: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/showcase/ === PDF Showcase is a weekday feature of PDFzone.COM, an independent resource and hub site for users of Adobe Acrobat & pdf. Other free resources include: * several pdf-related email discussion lists * searchable list archives * a free ezine * comprehensive listing of tools & plug-ins * tips & tricks section * Acrobat PDF WebRing * PDF Bookshelf and MORE! ---> PDFzone.COM <--- "An Independent Hub to All Things PDF" Kurt Foss Internet Communications Mgr 579 D'Onofrio Dr. (608)829-0183 Suite 104 EMAIL: mailto:kfoss@pdfzone.com Madison, WI 53719 WWW: http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

I suspect it's because we are not recognizing what is browser behavior and what is file/server behavior. I've been serving up the big version of my PDF book as a 4.2 Mb file for a couple of years now at http://imagebiz.com. If you click on the big GIF image map cover of the book, you get the whole thing (optimized and byteserved). That includes 5,500 Links from TOC and Index, Web Links, Bookmarks and everything else you'd expect. Including Verity's SearchPDF if you tap that part of the imagemap. I've tried to bring this up before. It's a browser/PlugIn issue. Netscape works, the other one doesn't. No duh. The Acrobat file itself, and the Web Server, work like a charm.

Here we image them out of Exchange using Crackerjack on a agfa selectset 7000 with taipan RIP.. This is a perfect workflow but we have two problems that seem to result from distiller: 1. Distilling High Resolution 1 BIT Images (without downsampling, but CCITT G. 4 Compression) results in perfekt output, except that there is a 1 or two PIXEL-Line at one edge of the image. 2. Distilling 1200 dpi 1 BIT Image larger than DIN A 3 ( no downsampling, CCITT G. 4 compression) results in garbage outside the A3 Format. (Inside A3 = OK) Putting the whole page together by placing the same image 2times in two Quarkboxes works well!!! Is there a PIXEL-Line-Length limit i do not know about. Any Idea Richard __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

I have been using the PDF Writer to create a PDF from a Framemaker document. The problem with the Writer is that I sometimes lose spacing between characters in the text when I print the PDF on certain printers. It's not a Framemaker problem but the PDF Writer. If I use the Distiller to create the PDF, I avoid the character spacing problem but I add another problem. In viewing the PDF produced by the Distiller, there is a loss of gray background behind the small letters used in the figures as well as a muddiness of the header and footer letters. A printed copy does not have this problem - it's only a viewing problem. The viewing problem is a font problem. If I use Courier, the problem goes away. However, I cannot replace the font type (true type) with another. Any ideas on what I can do? I am using version 3.02 and have used the default settings except Font Embedding - Embed All Fonts. Thanks in advance. Tom Livingston FSBTI __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

Opened it up in Exchange and printed it to a Scitex front end connected to a DocuColor 40. During the ripping process it aborts saying, "High res. page 2.tiff was not found" (page 2 .tiff is the name of the first image) Is this a problem with the way I have configured Distiller? Why does it want a high res when it's a single composite tiff? Any help would be apprectiated. Thanks.

It says that there was a problem loading and it did not load. I just did install another hard disk and did a clean install of MacOS 8.1, which I am now running off of. Yet I did go through the old system folder and look for resources/prefs to copy over. Thought I got them all, but maybe not. What else could it be? Thanks.

The compression that is part of the PDF specification works on a per stream basis -- simplistically speaking things like the contents markup for each page are compressed, but _individually_. When you zip a file you are getting compression across the _entire_ file and the algorithm used for compression works better when it is given larger chunks to deal with. -- Gregory Tod gtod@netspace.net.au __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

This is the name of the algorithm used in Zip. If you open the PDF file in BBEdit or emacs (or a binary-capable editor on Windows) then you should be able to find the test "Flate" in the file. All the files in my example used Flat compression. Secondly, you can pass several parameters to the free zLib code that Adobe used to do the Flate compression, from no compression (but fast) to best compression (but slow). Adobe uses the default - reasonable compression (reasonable speed) and provides no mean for changing the compression parameter. Your zip program may well be using more compression (Mine was in the above examples.) Thirdly, there is a certain amount of information in PDF files that isn't compressed, like bookmarks, hyperlinks, page information. I forget what precisely, I haven't looked at the PDF spec much recently. All my files had lots of hyperlinks and so on. I'm not particularly surprised that a zipped PDF file is smaller than a plain PDF file.

This is the name of the algorithm used in Zip. If you open the PDF file in BBEdit or emacs (or a binary-capable editor on Windows) then you should be able to find the test "Flate" in the file. All the files in my example used Flat compression. Secondly, you can pass several parameters to the free zLib code that Adobe used to do the Flate compression, from no compression (but fast) to best compression (but slow). Adobe uses the default - reasonable compression (reasonable speed) and provides no mean for changing the compression parameter. Your zip program may well be using more compression (Mine was in the above examples.) Thirdly, there is a certain amount of information in PDF files that isn't compressed, like bookmarks, hyperlinks, page information. I forget what precisely, I haven't looked at the PDF spec much recently. All my files had lots of hyperlinks and so on. I'm not particularly surprised that a zipped PDF file is smaller than a plain PDF file.

(I have tried both 2.1 and 3.0 compatable.) It looks and acts like it should on screen. When I try to print the document, however, it begins a long spooling routine that always ends with a "not enough disk space" message. I know 4x space should be available on the hard disk for spooling, but I an getting this message on one computer with 50 MG available, and another with 200 MG! I am working with a Macintosh PowerPC Performa 6116 and an Epson Stylus Color 600 (inkjet) printer.

I can do this in the source document (Framemaker). However, if I change the order of the slides, I would need to go through the whole PDF process again so that the slide numbers were sequential. I'd rather move slides around in Exchange using the thumbnails. Is there a way that I can display the current page number on the PDF image. That way, the slide numbers would update as I rearranged them. I think I could use the Forms tool (text option) and have it calculate the page number using a JavaScript, but perhaps there's an easier way. Also, what kind of JavaScript could I use?

Okay, so my question is PDF related, but specifically it is a Windows glitch that is driving me nuts! We have Exchange for the PC and the Mac here. I'm trying to save a document on my PC through Quark's new Utilities option to Save As PDF and I get this error: "To save a document as PDF file, a postscript printer must be set up to print to a file." Now, I have tried everything! In Quark I do not get an option to "check" Print to File, like I do in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, etc., etc. It is simply not there. However, I did use Quark on our Mac and it allowed me to save my Quark PDF in a blink of an eye! Do I just not get Quark's new 4.0 version? Or is Microsoft to blame. I wanted to see if anyone had some insight before I go saving EACH page as an EPS and then distilling it to pdf. Thank you all!

Select the new printer from within any Windows program whenever you want to create a PS file; when you print, you will be prompted to supply the name of the output file. I usually tell it to place the output file in the IN folder of a Distiller-watched folder set, so that the PDF will be produced automatically. I don't have any personal experience with Quark, but using a printer that's set up like this sounds like it should meet Quark's requirement: "a postscript printer must be set up to print to a file."

Assuming you're in Windows 95/98/NT4 go to the printers control panel and select Properties for the printer. Select Details and change the port to be "FILE:".

Our client has to compile a daily collection of news clippings of their company and send it via internal email to all their execs aound the country (about 45 seperate mails) The source material can be B&W photocopies of the actual newspaper or emails of text from a story (Reuters feed). No colour required. At the moment they scan them on a flatbed and insert them into PowerPoint and then mail the ppt file (About 8MB !) since thay are not scanning savvy, they need instructions for optimizing their scans Question is... is Acrobat the best delivery wehicle or is there a better solution ? They do want to be able to print them at the different sites. Is it a better idea to send an email with embeded URL's with Links back to byte served PDF's (Yes their server supports bytserving) Since we have never done this type of work, I would appreciate any suggestions on optimal settings for scanning B&W images and best method of compression for newspaper clippings.

That person was advised to select a background color for the field. I have selected a gray background for the text field. I designed an Acrobat game using the forms tool. As each page appears, the hidden fields (some using Show/Hide action, others programmed as hidden fields) cause a white flash before disappearing. This flash is annoying to those using the game.

Have you run in this implementation before? Can anyone suggest some good pointers to some content that is PDF-byteserved?

My technical writing department produces about ten manuals, which we distribute in PDF format. Our customers are mainly technically and computer literate, and have let us know they prefer documents in this format. We will be asking them to participate in a formal evaluation in a few months from now. Our manuals right now are set up to look nice and read easily when printed. But they're hell to read online - the type's too small, the pages are portrait and the monitor is landscape, and so on. My inclination is to optimize them for the screen, since I think our users will be reading them mainly on-screen. Can anyone give me good advice on this issue? Is anyone aware of a serious study on how people use PDFs? Do people bother to print them out? Or do they just read them on-screen? - Thom __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

Must you pick? For instance, the manuals for Quite Imposing are made in FrameMaker, and by importing a master style I can generate the printable manual (with all black text on white paper, links read "see xxxx on page yyy", page numbers and a traditional TOC); or I can generate the interactive manual ( with a coloured border, links read just "xxxx" but are coloured and hyperlinked, TOC is formatted into a jazzy front page). I don't believe I change the font or page size but that would be easy too. There are one or two changes to be made by hand to ensure pages still fit their layout. We distribute a printed copy with the product and install the interactive copy to disk, but make the printed PDF available to users too, so they can print their own manual (especially if purchasing electronically). Generating the set of four manuals (two variants for each of two products) takes about half an hour. You can see the result on http://www.quite.com/imposing/manuals.htm.

We currently have all our technical documentation online in HTML format, and are studying the possibility of using PDFs to do it better. We, like you, have a number of clients who prefer to read the documents online, and a number who prefer to print. I've been looking at a lot of PDF documents online lately, and sometimes the online view isn't very good, while other times it looks ok. But, we're in the same boat...we need both good online viewing as well as clean print for those who choose to do it that way. If you want, I'll keep you updated on what we find...and could you do the same?...LEt me know as you get replies to your question..just forward them on to me. This way, perhaps we can help each other. Thanks.

The hard limit is 342 for the entire machine, although you can also get into situations where the limit is lower. You may save some 'open' files by collecting some fonts together into a suitcase, as MacOS only needs to keep the one file open (the suitcase) instead of many (one for each font.)

The simple answer is you have to suit the screen because the users can still print and read them (they just use more paper). If you don't they cant be used effectively on screen.

It's time for me to revisit a problem I had many months ago with documentation I've been writing. I'm trying to get my documents converted to PDF. Unfortunately, they are loaded with large, detailed screenshots. Imagine the text in an e-mail mailbox queue with lots of messages and double the amount of text. Those are my images. Anyway, I use Word 97 with Doc-To-Help. I take my screenshots using the built-in screen/window grab in Windows. I then take them to Paint Shop Pro to crop them. Then I cut and paste them into Word and let Doc-To-Help scale them to fit in the space. When I print via Word on our HP LaserJet 5p, everything comes out beautiful. However, if I distill the document, my images get mangled beyond belief. They're unreadable onscreen and when I print. I'd really like to get to the point where I include PDF files on the CD instead of Word 97 docs. Does anyone have a suggestion that doesn't involve moving out of Word (which is not an option)? Thanks. -Eric --------------------------------------------------------------- Eric A. Thomas eathomas@dbits.com http://www.dbits.com E-mail overload?

I have found that imported into Exchange, 100 8.5x11 pages of good quality tiff's produce files of 5-8 MB in size. Capture could reduce this to less than 500KB Although, B&W photocopies of actual newspapers may not provide good enough copies to OCR. __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

Can anyone give me good advice on this issue? Is anyone aware of a serious study on how people use PDFs? Do people bother to print them out? Or do they just read them on-screen? We have grappled with the same issue, and we determined that if the document will be primarily viewed online, design it for online. Other documents need to be available online for hard copy use; we leave the design for hard copy and distribute the PDF file online. In addition to making distinctions between how PDF documents will be used and their subsequent design, we make available to our clients a quick reference card describing how to use Acrobat Reader. We include information on how to use the zoom tools so that small fonts can be enlarged for easy viewing. I, too, would like to see a "serious" study on how people use PDF; however, most PDF files are hard copy documents that were distilled into PDF. I think the most helpful studies are those on using online help, since a large number of features and reading approaches for using online help pertain to PDF documents. William Horton's book on developing online documentation includes the results and analysis of such studies. His suggestions seem applicable for PDF files. --Karen __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

There are of course some conditions which must be fulfilled that you can bring your CD-ROM to the web server as is. The main condition is that all links must be relative (in other words, no links specifying the drive and the whole directory tree). The second condition is that your PDF files should be optimized (either Batch Optimized with Exchange, or Saved as.. with Optimizing switched on. Then, the server must be enabled for byteserving. Also, the user's configuration must be set up correctly, in order to make byteserving work properly.

So, you may be hitting some sort of limit. Normally, there is no problem running both Xpress and Acrobat, but perhaps something else is using up open files. Background processes? Hundreds of fonts? Not sure. This may be one for the the Mac experts among us.

I should also have mentioned that this is a daily task which needs to be completed prior to midday each day for uploading and distribution. On that basis I am looking for a quick solution with a mimimum of *fiddling* withthe images and as you suggest, photocopied neswpaper prints will need a lot of error correction (I assume). I was thinking of a good scanning process followed by a cutting down of the files to an optimum sixe for on screen, which printed *OK* They are willing to sacrifice a bit of print quality for reduction in file size, since they are internal use only and largely disposable, since thay are replaced each day, although they are archived and backed up as well. Thanks for all suggestions to date.

This limit cannot be exceeded, except by a new file system structure which will be coming with MacOS X. To the person experiencing the plug-in problem, I suggest closing a few fonts (if you're using Suitcase or ATM Deluxe), or move some out of your Fonts folder. That's the most likely culprit: a few hundred fonts active. -- Todd Ruston | mailto:truston@libpubinc.com Computer Services Manager | Voice: 323.871.1225 x 3028 Liberation Publications, Inc. | Fax: 323.467.0173 __________________________________________________________ -> PDFzone.COM - "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" <-- *** Sponsorship & Advt.

Lake that the printer is able to print even from Reader. All he has to control is wether the screen angles are right. On some RIPs the screen angles which are stored in the file are not used what leads to the fact that all colors have the same screen angle. If you send composite CMYK PDF files to your printer he needs a software called Crackerjack and his RIP must be able to do InRIP-Separation. That isn't that easy any more.

You need to crank down your display resolution and colours. Yesterday, using Lotus Screen Cam '97, I produced 3 screen cams with a high degree of Acrobat interaction and with no problems what so ever.

Namely, PDF is a high-end technology, and is not as universally accessable as marked-up document would be. I have a largish collection of legacy documents which I need to make accessable to all, and PDF just is not a good solution for that. Right now I'm considering tracking down the original (WordPerfect, mostly) docs and converting them via WP->HTML tools. That's all... just sharing at least one reason not to stay with PDF, and a similar interest in this situation. robt >>> Max Wyss 10/28/98 06:05PM >>> ====> Posted to the PDF discussion list, hosted by PDFzone.COM <==== Simone, as you already have the documents in PDF format, there is very little reason why not to stay with PDF. There are of course some conditions which must be fulfilled that you can bring your CD-ROM to the web server as is. The main condition is that all links must be relative (in other words, no links specifying the drive and the whole directory tree). The second condition is that your PDF files should be optimized (either Batch Optimized with Exchange, or Saved as.. with Optimizing switched on. Then, the server must be enabled for byteserving. Also, the user's configuration must be set up correctly, in order to make byteserving work properly. In particular, the option to download a document in the background (in the General Preferences) must be switched OFF. Hope, this can help.

Sorry it turned out to be an off-topic post. FYI: I always keep an extra hard disk in my PMac to use only for the MacOS and other system resources (another drive houses all my apps and files). I recently upgraded my system drive and formatted it as HFS+. I think this may have something to do with the problem. My previous drive was standard HFS, and I didn't have this trouble even running the same number of fonts, apps., xtensions, plugins, etc. I wonder if the max number of open files came down with HFS+; I would have expected it to go up. Anyway, thanks again.

Further, if your WP documents have any structure in them at all or are more than two pages long, it will be both more difficult and more expensive to create them as HTML files. Beyond that, maintaining the bizillion or so pages/files you'll end up with will be neither pretty nor fun. (I know this is a religious issue for some, so go easy on me with the flame messages ;~) The 80 million or so Acrobat Readers out there make PDF even more accessible. Many many new PCs arrive with the Reader on it, because most manufacturers ship their documentation in PDF format now. Glyphica has converting hundreds of thousands of legacy documents to both PDF and HTML. A word of caution on tracking down the original files -- diverse authors do not necessarily use good housekeeping practices on their originals. If the document was created for print, you'll often find mismatches between the printed parent and the electronic child (although you would expect the reverse). Glyphica has recently announced a line of products -- Portalware -- which makes it simple and straightforward to publish new and legacy content on the Web. Automatic conversion on the server to PDF is a key feature and the search engine, PDF hit highlighting, and built-in byteserving make PDF a full Web citizen. -Deidre Paknad ..........................................................................

You can't grow the pool, though it can shrink sometimes. >From Inside Mac:Files - "Each time a file is opened, the File Manager reads that file's catalog entry and builds a file control block (FC) in the FCB buffer... The FCB buffer is a block in the system heap... The maximum size of an expandable FCB buffer is 32,535 bytes, so there is an absolute limit of 342 FCBs in the FCB buffer."

For small jobs, you can use Acrobat to scan and do the whole thing. For multi-page jobs, Bookmarks are worth the effort. For PowerPoint and other visually rich objects, Thumbnails are handy. For scanning settings with text, it's almost always best to go with Binary scans instead of grayscale, and 300 dpi is the standard resolution for dense print though you might get away with 200 if you are not going to Capture it. The only problem that might arise in scanning newspapers is you might see moire patterns in scanned halftones, but that's usually not a killer. Assuming all your recipients have decent access to the Web or an Intranet, a short, descriptive email with the URL to a *byteserving* host is the preferable means of delivery. Users can download and view, or do a Save As to keep their own copy. BTW, there's an interesting book called "From Paper to Web" about all of this that you can buy at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com, or read it for free over the Web at http://imagebiz.com.

I put all my docs into PDF and on our internal network - mainly for printout for sending to customers.

You can set the initial zoom for the document, and can even force zoom on each link- and these tricks don't affect printout at all.

I would still be curious to know if any of you can point to some Web URLs where effectively prepared and optimized PDF are properly byteserved. I have once seen a site working beautifully in this respect, and the perceived response time in seeing text appear on the screen was as fast or close to an HTML file. Background would appear after and so eventual images, jumping to next or other pages would bring the requested page with no delay on the screen. That is effective PDF byteserving! Can you point me to any good resource? I want to demonstrate to an audience how this can be effectively implemented.

Not the least of these is it's unreachableness to the significant search engines..(Correct me if I am wrong, but all of the available ways to set up an online site search of PDF content cost a lot of money, and search engines like Excite, Alta-vista, etc cannot even see PDF content..) Also, on a byte by byte basis, PDF files are larger than plain text and graphics a-la HTML.. The PDF format was originally promoted to me by Adobe as being "cut and paste" proof.. ie. as a way of protecting print content from copying.. However, even Adobe has begun to see how stupid this is if they expect PDF to be a standard in the age of the Internet. I am sure that the next version of Exchange will have a text or HTML export feature.. (right now I think only the Windows version has this feature..through a plug-in..) However, that still leaves you with the graphics.. My solution has been to "print" bulk to image files, then OCR them using a template... Exasperating.. There are plug-ins out there too that will do this. However, if the content is graphics-rich, this may be a laborious process. Try to get the original DTP documents that the PDFs were made from.. if you can. There is a URL out there that will extract the text from PDFs.. I have seen a pointer to it on the Adobe website.

Adobe refers to it as a PCL printing problem, which is definitely an improvement from their earlier claim that PCL printing was enhanced in v3.01. It is basically a non-PostScript printer problem, because it manifests itself not just on PCL printers but on any non-PS printer: inkjets, PCL laser printers, etc. The HP 5p is a PCL printer. Screen captures are among the worst effected graphics--text characters in the captures typically becomes unreadable. For Adobe's slant, check http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/902e.htm What is going on is that Acrobat 3.01 viewers downsample image data to 72-75 dpi when printing to a non-PS printer, to increase printing speed. Adobe is starting to release v3.02, which incorporates a fix. The first v3.02 release is Reader (English, without Search) for 32-bit Windows, Macintosh, and several flavors of UNIX. For all currently-available versions, see the chart at http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/alternate.html Alternatively, there is a patch that can be done on v3.01, which brings Reader and/or Exchange up to v3.01RA. http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/505e.htm With either v3.02 or v3.01RA--and presumably with v3.0 and earlier, Acrobat viewers downsample image data sent to non-PS printers to 150 dpi. Adobe feels that this resolution is usually sufficient to achieve sharp printed images. I also recall seeing a note from someone who claimed to have a (plug-in?) utility that would actually modify the PDF file in some way to overcome this problem. I'm dubious, but quite willing to find a solution that doesn't depend on the user having the right viewing/printing software. --John E.

It's time for me to revisit a problem I had many months ago with documentation I've been writing. I'm trying to get my documents converted to PDF. Unfortunately, they are loaded with large, detailed screenshots. Imagine the text in an e-mail mailbox queue with lots of messages and double the amount of text. Those are my images. Anyway, I use Word 97 with Doc-To-Help. I take my screenshots using the built-in screen/window grab in Windows. I then take them to Paint Shop Pro to crop them. Then I cut and paste them into Word and let Doc-To-Help scale them to fit in the space. When I print via Word on our HP LaserJet 5p, everything comes out beautiful. However, if I distill the document, my images get mangled beyond belief. They're unreadable onscreen and when I print. I'd really like to get to the point where I include PDF files on the CD instead of Word 97 docs. Does anyone have a suggestion that doesn't involve moving out of Word (which is not an option)?

The FM book file contains 66 files amounting to a total of 402 pages. There are no graphics in the entire book file. Tables are used occasionally-- they are not complex and contain the exactly the same information. FM converts the book file to a tps file. The tps file is opened by Distiller. Distiller goes through to the very last page (p. 402) then gives this error message, which is not very helpful: %%[ Page: 402 ]%% %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ** ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% ** These asterisks appear as two blackened boxes. They may be just random characters, which usually means, according to Adobe's web page, that there is a post script error with a graphic, but there are no graphics in my book file. When I first saw the Distiller error message, I took it to mean that there was an error on page 402. Once I figured out which page was indeed the 402nd page, I discovered it was the very last page, which is blank. Thinking that Distiller cannot read this page, I recreated the last file in the book file. I created a PDF and it worked fine. The next day, I make changes to the book file, spell check each file, etc. When I create a PDF, I got the same Distiller error message as given above. In trying to figure out this problem, these are the steps I have taken and their results: 1) I created a PDF of each separate file in the book file. RESULT: Each file converted to a PDF successfully. 2) Assuming the last file was corrupted, I set the print option for the book file to "Don't Print" for the last file. RESULT: An errorless PDF is created from the book file, but the PDF includes the file I set not to print (I thought the print option applied to converting to PDFs). Basically, the whole book file converts successfully to PDF. 3) I set the print option for the book file to "Print" for the last file, RESULT: The Distiller distills through the last page (402) and then issues the error message given above. The results of step 2 and 3 lead me to believe there is something wrong with the last file of the book, though I don't know why setting it not to print allows the entire book file (including the last file) to convert successfully to PDF. I need to create a sound PDF file without any kind of work around (such as in step 2). Does anyone know what to do?

The rather expensive indexers are one of the more serious ones. I beg to disagree on the file size comparision. One has to be very careful when comparing file sizes between PDF and HTML based documents. Chances that one compares things which are not quite comparable are very high. And - of course - it depends a lot on the document itself. The PDF document contains all the information required to display and print it in one single file. This also ensures the integrity of the contents. If parts of the information is missing, for example due to transmission errors, the file is corrupted and it indicates that. On the other hand, under HTML, a file can be corrupted and still display. This fact alone makes the HTML format unusable when the integrity of the document is a necessity. And the fact that a HTML document is a bunch of individual files points to the same direction. You may have noted that I have not yet mentioned the integrity of appearance. This is where HTML still is very far behind. As long as there is no hard binding appearance information within the document, this integrity can not be guaranteed. Now when comparing the file sizes, an average PDF document, and a HTML 4 document (to have kind of similar appearance control), containing some raster graphics and some (originally) vector graphics, you will have to transmit more information the HTML way than with a PDF. About the export features: Text is possible. With HTML i have VERY serious doubts, although I have read about plug-ins caiming to be able to do so. The reason for my doubts is that in the current PDF format, no document structure information is available. This means that it would be an arbitrary assignment of tags to a particular appearance of a text string.

To create PDFs for the same functionality you have with the HTML export (which means without manually post-processing the individual legacy documents), you would be surprised how easy that it. In fact, it is about as easy as printing. If your legacy documents are just text, you can even use the cheapo PDFWriter to create the PDFs. Of course, if you need the ability to access individual pages over a slow web connection, you might consider optimizing. But then, text compresses pretty well, and the files do get quite small anyway. One thing is for sure, with the legacy documents. No matter how you will deliver them, you will have to work on them. The level of functionality you add determines the time and effort you spend on these documents.

There are 2 possible areas - within Word, although you say that it prints out fine from within Word, and within Acrobat itself. On the Acrobat side you might try viewing one of the images at different zoom factors and see whether it gets better/worse to find an optimum value. If this does solve the problem (although the printing still ought to work) you could, using Exchange, create bookmarks for these bitmaps using the zoom factor that worked. If you don't specify a zoom factor and rely on fit-to-width etc the effective zoom factor will be different on different machines which will probably distort your screenshots. Cheers.

I'd be interested in the results. Optimization has two jobs to do, and its rather a pity that it has only one switch. On the one hand it giveth: if you used ASCII or forgot to compress text and line art, this is sorted, and sometimes duplicate elements will be detected so they are only stored once. So the file gets smaller. On the other hand it taketh: the file is "linearized" (to use the technical term) for web downloading, which adds extra indexing information and rearranges the elements of the file. I might speculate that the new forms author helps out with linearization, by splitting up forms and perhaps other annotations on a per-page basis. I haven't looked at this internally, but I have seen other examples where the new forms author causes files to grow alarmingly. If the file contains named destinations, which Frame includes, it may be another candidate for this behaviour.

Any PostScript should make it through any PostScript interpreter without causing offending command errors. (You could not blame Distiller if it did not produce a PDF page in case there were no showpage at the end of the EPS.) The Acrobat team even tried to offer an extra service when distilling EPS files by extracting the bounding box information and turning it into MediaBox/CropBox info (otherwise the default page size would have been used for EPS files). Many people have very good reasons to want to distill EPS files. Olaf Druemmer >EPS files are not designed for distillation, although PostScript >files are.

Users of Acrobat on Windows NT 4 should be glad to know that AdobePS 5.0.1 has just been released and is now available for download on Adobe's web site at the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/pdrvwin.htm A number of anomolies reported to Adobe, some via these forums, have been remedied. Hopefully this will lower some of the anxiety in use of PostScript and PDF in the Windows NT 4 environment!

As most here already know and abide by, list policies expressly forbid blatant product or service announcements to the PDF list -- same rules apply for the Capture & PDFdev discussion lists. A BRIEF mention of a product or service, when provided in RESPONSE to a relevant subscriber's question, is generally allowed -- unless abused. However, any such mention should: * be very brief * not include pricing details * make clear the respondent's relationship to the product or company * provide a link or phone number where interested persons can find additional details Again, this is *only* in specific instances where a legitimate user question is posed on the list, and a clearly identified company rep suggests a product or service that might be a solution to the specific problem. Announcements of NEW products or services are allowed ONLY on the _PDF-Announce_ list, which was created for this exact purpose. People on that list want & expect to see postings of a commercial nature. Subscribers to the discussion lists do not. To join PDF-Announce, send ONLY this text in the BODY of a message: subscribe to this administrative address: pdf-announce-request@lists.pdfzone.com You will receive an auto-reply response requiring you to confirm your intent to subscribe. Until you send back a confirmation reply, you are not subscribed and cannot post to the list address, which is pdf-announce@lists.pdfzone.com Unlike PDF, Capture & PDFdev, PDF-Announce is a moderated list. Only messages appropriate to the list's purpose will be forwarded to all subscribers. tks ~ Kurt PDFzone.COM list admin. __________________________________________________ * P D F z o n e .

The driver itself is irrelevant to what happens when you print a PDF file. Acrobat Reader / Exchange produces the PostScript. We might be interested in looking at the file.

It suggests (without being definite) that it doesn't allow indexed colours with a palette of 340 colours. Well, 256 is the usual maximum, but PostScript allows up to 4096. Another possibility, though is that the string wasn't exactly 340 colours. That might happen if the string contains binary data and the HP mangled it somehow. It is kind of curious to see, later, an 8-bit image made in this colour space. The image, would only be able to reach part of the palette. Suggests something is not quite right. I'd like to take a look at the PDF file. Can you post the URL where it is to be found?

That can't be printed. It has to be transformed to CMYK somewhere. Some RIPs do that for you automatically. Others aren't able to do that trick. A PDF file for the Internet is not the same as a PDF file for printing. Colorspaces and resolutions are the main differences. That will be a problem forever. There are tools to overcome that problem, as you know.

In the context of court sites, many readers will be reading opinions on the screen, and many others will want to print the opinion for later use. The latter use probably still predominates. I posted an Acrobat file discussing the recommendation for what I call "large format PDF" (essentially, landscape orientation and 18 to 20-point type). It is still up, although I recently removed the link to it on the HTML pages.

Short form: the PDF is faulty. Like a number of other faults it does not show up when displaying on screen, but does show up during printing to a level 2 PostScript printer. The file has no indicator of how it was created, but that shows it was not created by any Acrobat tool. It would be interesting to know what tool created it, if only so the author can fix it. Long form: in the PDF file there is an indexed colour space (palette colour). It is in fact for the usual number of colours - 256. The length of the palette, however, is 1024. Because there are three bytes per colour (it is an RGB-based palette), that means the palette is too long. It seems Acrobat ignores this error when displaying the file. PostScript will almost always give an error, though, if the palette size is wrong for the number of colours. It seems that Acrobat generates PostScript by working out the number of colours from the palette size, rather than by using the quoted size. This would tend to eliminate PostScript errors from palettes that were the wrong size. So it quotes a size of 341. Unfortunately 340*3 = 1023, so the length is still wrong, and cannot be right because 1024 is not divisible by 3. Acrobat could fix this by regenerating the palette to make sure it is the correct length, but it shouldn't have to. All of this serves to highlight that we desperately need a tool to validate PDF files against the specifications in the PDF specification, being picky and precise. Adobe haven't supplied one - perhaps because their own PDF files will fail on a number of counts! But also, perhaps, because they get little direct benefit when someone else writes a PDF generator, and even may benefit indirectly if someone else writes a generator that is not very good.

Global does work properly; I can define a global variable, and it is available for other documents (or the same one if I close and re-open it). However, the setPersistent method seems not to work at all. I have a field named "i-value", where I can enter a value. Then I have a button with the following JavaScript: var ivalu = this.getField("i-value") ; global.setPersistent("ival", true); global.ival = ivalu.value; I also have a Page Open Javascript which loads the "ival" global variable into the field "i-value". When I quit Exchange and restart it and open the document, I get "undefined" in the "i-value" field. This means that the setPersistent function does not work. Or am I doing something wrong?? I am using Exchange 3.01 and the Forms Author 3.5 plug-in on a Mac. Could it be that PitStop or SuperPrefs cause problems? Thanks a lot for all comments.

Global does work properly; I can define a global variable, and it is available for other documents (or the same one if I close and re-open it). However, the setPersistent method seems not to work at all. I have a field named "i-value", where I can enter a value. Then I have a button with the following JavaScript: var ivalu = this.getField("i-value") ; global.setPersistent("ival", true); global.ival = ivalu.value; I also have a Page Open Javascript which loads the "ival" global variable into the field "i-value". When I quit Exchange and restart it and open the document, I get "undefined" in the "i-value" field. This means that the setPersistent function does not work. Or am I doing something wrong??

I'm working on a presentation (due Tuesday of course) that I'm going to burn to a CD and every QuickTime movie I've created in Macromedia Flash I've created is looking awful I've tried all sorts of different compression settings when I've exported my movie to no avail. I've even imported my movie into Adobe Premier and saved it out of there. Is there some compression setting in Exchange that I need to turn off? Help! Help! I've looked all over the web for any information on this subject but I've also found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -gab ......________________________________.......
