Insert a yellow background under text layer in PDF file

2011/06/092011/06/09

I use a couple of other PDF writer products all of which can function as
virtual printers.

Right now I'd like to find one that can be configured for virtual
colored paper in the virtual printer. And print EXACTLY as the output
of a physical printer using colored stock.

Can VeryPDF do that?
=====================================
Since I don't have VeryPDF yet - this has caused me no inconvenience
whatsoever. What I am looking for is something very easy to do with a
real physical printer but that no one seems to have done with a virtual
printer - ie. colored paper.

So - let me try to explain more simply

Say I want to print a document with text and a graphic - say a
letterhead graphic on say yellow paper.

On a real physical printer:

Simple - I put a piece of yellow paper in the printer and print. My
text a graphic are printed in whatever color I choose and anywhere on
the paper that the printer did not deposit ink is the yellow of the
piece of paper.

Now - I want to send a PDF out by email that looks JUST LIKE this paper
copy - BUT NO PDF virtual printer that I am familiar with will allow me
to configure the PDF background color as yellow so it looks JUST LIKE
the printed paper. This is supposed to be JUST LIKE the real paper
original thus I don't want to print the PDF from a DIFFERENT source
document with a yellow background defined. Furthermore when the source
document is edited to have a yellow background the clear regions within
the frame of the graphic will be clear/white and NOT the background
yellow - unless the graphic is a JPEG graphic that has those clear areas
defined as transparent - this is no compatible with all applications -
ie. those that will use a BMP graphic and not a JPEG.

That's it .....

Or maybe to put it another way - every pixel on the PDF is yellow -
except where another color OTHER THAN WHITE is printed.

I don't know if this helps.

Attached are 3 samples:

How it looks on white paper

How I DO NOT it to look on yellow virtual paper

How it SHOULD look on yellow virtual paper - note areas in and around
the graphic (please ignore the white margins - my mistake!! They should
be yellow too - JUST like on yellow paper).

Does this clarify it?

Ie - like I said - a virtual colored paper setting for the virtual PDF
printer.
============================================
Thanks for your great information, we understand your meaning now.

We suggest you may copy all contents from PDF file into MS Word, insert a yellow background under the text contents, print it to VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer or VeryPDF docPrint PDF Driver, then you will get a new PDF file which contain yellow background, we hoping this solution will useful to you.

pdfstamp command line

Command line Stamp utility question, shaded text and overlap text

2011/06/092011/06/09

My manager bought the pdf stamp utility 2.3 (server license).
Now we like to stamp some documents with the shade and/or overlapped text.

Our current command is:
C:\Temp\pdfstamp_cmd_v2.5\example\pdfstamp.exe -PDF c:\temp\SP001.pdf -O c:\temp\SP001_ST.pdf -AT Name: D.Lee

But now,
1. How do I get this text to be shaded? (Just like the example below that I saw in the website examples):
      https://www.verypdf.com/pdfstamp/pic/6.pdf

2. How do I get this text to be overlapped? (Just like the example below that I saw in the website examples):
      https://www.verypdf.com/pdfstamp/pic/7.pdf

If possible could you send me a command line example for those two examples?
==================================
Yes, you can use following command line to stamp your PDF file with shaded text,

pdfstamp -PDF "example.pdf" -o "6.pdf" -AT "www.verypdf.com" -p9 -r45 -c2105376 -fs64 -mlr1 -mtb1 -AT "www.verypdf.com" -p9 -r45 -c255 -fs64

You can run following command line to stamp your PDF file with overlap text,

pdfstamp -PDF "example.pdf" -o "7.pdf" -AT "www.verypdf.com" -p9 -r45 -c2105376 -fs64 -mtb2 -mlr2 -l -h -AT "www.verypdf.com" -p9 -r45 -c255 -fs64 -l -h

html converter (htmltools)

adjust image quality and white margin in htmltools.exe

2011/06/092011/06/30

Dear sir,

We have a developers license for the Verypdf HTML-tools application.

When we use it, we have the following problems:

The image-quality is worse in the PDF than it was in the source HTML. We have tried to change the parameters "quality" and "imgfilter" without success. How can we get better image quality?

Also, we can't get PDF output that is totally fills the page. We always get small white margins (at least one or two pixels, usually more). Can you recommend settings that do not give any margins?

With kind regards,
===================================
Can you please email to us the URL or HTML+Image flies that you want to convert? After we reproduced these two problems in our system, we will figure out a solution to you shortly.

VeryPDF
===================================
Thanks for your response.

We have created an image and some testfiles to show you the problem. In the ZIP are the source files, including a txt file with the parameters we use to create the PDF.

Problem 1) White margins
Our clients want PDF's that fill the page, but we get white margins. The margins are not always the same when the exact same conversion is done on different computers. Sometimes they appear on the bottom, sometimes on the right, sometimes both.

Could you recommend optimal parameters and/or image-size to eliminate these margins?
Problem 2) Image quality
This is not a very big problem, but if you could recommend optimal settings for quality or tips for best format/size of source images, this would be very nice.
===================================
We have created a new version of htmltools.exe to you, please download it from following URL,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

you can add "-fitpage" parameterto remove the margins from output PDF file, for example,

htmltools\htmltools.exe -fitpage -quality 100 -pdfa -nocenter -width 595 -height 842 -emfheight 842 -playemf2 "%CD%\template.html" "%CD%\template.pdf"

for the image quality, because you have zoomin the image in Adobe Reader, if you viewthe PDF file at 100% or "Actual Size", you will see the image's quality is same as original image in HTML file. You can insert high resolution image into HTML file, if so, you will get high quality image in PDF file too.

VeryPDF
====================================

You are right about the image-quality, we have improved our source images and this resolves the problem.

Unfortunately the ZIP file you send us with a new htmltools.exe appears to be corrupt, when we try to open it, we get an error: “Bad zip header found” and it does not unpack.

========================================

It is maybe caused by your network problem, the file size for the test_files.zip is 6.01 MB (6,309,966 BYTE), what is the file size in your system? If your downloaded file size less than 6.01 MB, please redownload it from following URL to try again,

VeryPDF

========================================

This version does exactly what we need, The new –fitpage parameter fixes our problem.

Thank you for the quick response and solution.

========================================

It appears htmltools.exe is dependent on Internet Explorer and not compatible with Internet Explorer 9. When we install IE9, the PDF output is completely black.

This wil be a big problem for us in the near future. Will there be a version available that does work when IE9 is installed?

Can you give an indication when a new version could be available? Our clients usually do not work with IE9 at the moment, but will probably start upgrading soon.

Thanks again for your quick response to our previous problem.

========================================

Thanks for your message, we will support IE9 in the next version of htmltools.exe application, we will let you know after the new version is available, thanks for your patience.

2011/06/08

I’m considering purchasing the product but I wanted to know if one specific feature was included. In Adobe there is a feature called a typewriter. This allows you to type on a pdf file irrespective of whether it is an actual form. Does your product include such a feature?
==================================
Our PDF Editor v2.6 has a "Edit Comment" feature, you can use this "Edit Comment" function to add the text contents to anywhere on the PDF page, PDF Editor v2.6 can be downloaded from following web page,

pdf print

Descriptions missing from printed report even though they are in the pdf document

2011/06/08

One of our customers reported that when printing the pick ticket report, the item description was not being printed on the report. Upon investigation, the pdf document was verified to contain the item description that was not in the printed report.

Our inventory system generates the pdf report using crystal reports and then uses pdfprint to send the report to the printer.

I have attached two pdf files:
Pickticket.pdf – the pick ticket generated by our inventory system
Scan.pdf – the scan of the printed paper output that the user received

We have found that this issue occurs sporadically. Once it does occur, stopping and restarting tomcat does not return printing to normal. Only restarting the server resolves the issue.

Please advise on how to resolve this issue.
==============================
We suggest you may add -raster2 parameter to try again,

Pdfprint.exe -raster2 C:\test.pdf

The -raster2 parameter may work better for you.
