Watermark not showing up on all pages

$
0
0

Anyone out there have any insights into making sure watermarked text show up on all pages of an Acrobat document.

We are placing these on a large format PDF (22x34) 14 page document and for some reason, there are two pages, #11 and #12 that do not show the watermark.

We have selected the watermark to appear on all pages.

 

On another note: are watermarks only removable by the creator of the PDF?

 

Thank you


When PDFing keep getting "Acrobat distiller has stopped working"

$

Since last Friday I've been unable to save my FrameMaker book file as a PDF. This book is made of 20 files. I've saved it as a PDF many times over the past several years with no problems. A week earlier, I created PDFs of 10 other books the same size, and a PDF of another book that's over twice as large. But now I keep getting, "Acrobat distiller has stopped working". I can save as a PDF if I include only a few files from the book, and I can save individual files as PDFs, but only the smaller files. I've installed updates for FM and Acrobat and tried different PDF Job Options. I tried printing to Postscript, and opening the .ps file in Distiller, and got the same result. My hard drive has over 75% space remaining.

 

System details:

  • Windows 10 Enterprise
  • Acrobat DC, Version 2019.010.20091
  • FrameMaker 2017, Version 14.0.4.511

 

Any ideas?

My Adobe PDF printer just stopped working last week (Feb, 2019)

Help!

 

     My Adobe PDF printer stopped working on a Windows 10 updated system- this may be the problem?

 

    I deleted it from my printers and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro with the Adobe PDF printer. It just sits in the spool mode or printer mode indefinitely when using with Word or Word Perfect to print PDF files. I have gone online and loaded the latest Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software and reinstalled it again deleting the Acrobat PDF printer and reinstalling with the Acrobat 9 Pro. It still hangs up in the spool and printer direct mode. What do I need to do to get it working again.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Cannot move or delete a pdf file in Windows 10

I have scanned a file to pdf on my Windows 10 PC. Now I cannot rename it or delete it. Whenever I try it says the file is in use. I have gone into Task Manager and closed any running application that has Adobe. This makes no difference and I still cannot move, delete or rename the file. The only way to delete is for me to reboot the PC. However, if I open the file in Acrobat DC the problem returns.

 

I have been looking around on the forum and found this problem dates back to 2012!!!! REALLY?????

 

I have now found a workaround to fix the problem but surely Adobe should have sorted a permanent fix for this by now. Not impressed

HTML to PDF - Defining Page Breaks

Hi there.

 

I've converted a HTML text page to PDF with no problems, but I'd like to control the way pages break better.

Is there a way for me to keep continuous paragraphs uninterrupted?

 

Here's what the text looks like:

I'd like pages to always split along line breaks and not interrupt the paragraphs.

 

Hope you can help, thanks

combining Word documents

Hi there,

 

Even though 'not supported' (some even say 'not compatible'), I'm running Acrobat 9 Pro under Windows 10 and, in general, it works fine.

 

I am used to being able to combine a number of MS Office documents (generally only Word and Excel ones) into a single PDF using Acrobat.  However, I now find that when 'adding files' (to do that combining), Acrobat (with 'all supported formats' selected) does not 'see' any Office files other than Excel ones, and the drop-down list of file formats also only has Excel.  If I manually type in the name of, say, a Word file, I merely get an error saying that Acrobat cannot convert this file type to PDF.

 

It's not the end of the world, since I can covert the individual Word etc. files individually to PDF (using Office itself, or utilities) and then use Acrobat to combine them, but it's a bit inconvenient (i.e. 'a pain'), so I wonder what has caused this change in behaviour and if there's anything I can do about it?

 

Kind Regards,  John

Creating a PDF using Adobe PDF Pro with Revit

Hello everyone,

 

I am experiencing issues in using the Adobe PDF printer within Revit.

When I need to start printing layout drawings in Revit, usually I am able to print the first one correctly. Unfortunately after the first one (or sometimes after the second pdf) the printer software got stuck and I am not able to carry on unless I restart completely Revit. I also tried that with several Revit projects files and I experienced the same behavior.

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version 19.010.20069.49826 on a Windows 10 SO with both Revit 2018 and 2019 version.

 

Hope I really get this sorted as I think that pdf looks much better when using the adobe pdf printer in comparison with the microsoft printer for pdf.

 

Thank you in advance

 

Regards,

Lorenzo

After updating, I can no longer save forms from Acrobat as JPG images. How do I fix this?

My computer crashed about a week ago. I used to use acrobat to complete forms for work. My customers like these forms locked and emailed to them. The easiest and most efficient way I found to do this was to save the forms as JPG images which can only be viewed and are much smaller files than PDF's, making emailing easier and faster. After getting the computer back up and running, the option to save directly as a JPG image in acrobat is completely gone. Everyone I've spoken to is telling me that I have to download a separate program to convert them now. Is there any way I can get back to saving as a JPG?

Duplicate fonts

Have recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9 to DC. Regularly use Acrobat to combine multiple PDFs into one document and have noticed that the file size for the same document created in DC is over twice the size of Acrobat 9. There are hundreds of duplicate fonts in the DC version that were not in the Acrobat 9 document. I can manually unembed the duplicate fonts, but I'd rather not have to do that for every document I create. Am I missing something?

Ever since updating to CC 2019 whenever I export file as PDF from InDesign it appears as an Illustrator PDF file. Also, whenever opening a PDF from someone else from my desktop or email it opens up Illustrator to view it instead of Acrobat.

var test = "AF"; makes Custom Keystroke Script vanish

$

I have been trying to make an array using a Custom Keystroke Script for a form field and after much troubleshooting discovered that for whatever reason trying to put the string "AF" into a var makes the entire script vanish when I click the OK button.

Using the following causes script to vanish.

var test = ["AF"];

I have tried the initialization in the Debugger and it works fine but it won't work in the PDF.

I also tested

var test = "AF";

that also doesn't work. Why can I not initialize the String "AF" using a Custom Keystroke Script in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

While testing I used the strings "Af", "BF", "ALFALFA", "AFTER", "AFRICAN" and "NAFTA", the first 3 work but as long as there is a capital "A" and a capital "F" in the string in that order it makes the entire script vanish. BOLD cause issue.

I go into edit Custom Keystroke Script:

Step 1

I then type the offending var test = ["AF"]; and click OK.

script

Then it drops me back out to this.

After I click OK

When I go back in and try a different string it does this.

What it should do

Unable to save ANY PDF files

I recently (for last month) have been having an issue where I cannot save ANY PDF files. I get an error saying " This file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder".

I am not sharing this document with anyone, its saved on a local drive on my Windows PC.

This issue persists whether or not I make changes to the file, to where it is saved, or the name of the file.

Therefore I cannot use Acrobat at all, even though I am paying for the service! Please help!
