PDF Form Filler OCX and Adobe Reader 10 (X) compatibility problems

Posted on
On a Windows 7 computer with Acrobat 9.4 sometimes I get this message when trying to display an Acrobat form in the VeryPDF activeX control  Sometimes it will work and then if I try it again a few seconds later it displays this screenshot below.  Any ideas why?  Thanks.
=========================
This is a strange problem, are you using Adobe Reader 9.4? also, just for checking, we suggest you may update the Adobe Reader to latest version to try again, can you work fine with latest version?

=========================
I actually downgraded to 9.4 because it was not working in the latest version 10.  Any ideas?
=========================
This problem is not caused by our product, I guess it may caused by special version of Adobe Reader, however, we will research this problem shortly, we will let you know if we have any solution for this problem, thanks for your patience.

VeryPDF
=========================
Please let me know what can be done because it seems to be happening in both Adobe 9 and 10 on their Windows 7 computers.
=========================
I have tried Adobe Reader 9.0 + pdfformocx.ocx on 64bit Windows 7 system, everything is fine, can you please let us know how can we reproduce your problem on 64bit Windows 7 system? Can you please tell us the step by step?

VeryPDF
=========================
I think they had Acrobat Reader X and I uninstalled it and then installed Acrobat Reader 9.4. I made sure they had the latest version of Java but I do not know if it was a 64 bit system.  There are three new computers that it is doing it on.  I'm not sure what to test next.
=========================
Thanks for your message, just for checking, do you have a way to reproduce this problem from your computer or your customer's computer now?

VeryPDF
=========================
If you are around tonight (pacific time GMT -08 / California time tonight) then I may have remote access to the computer that has this problem.

Let me know.
=========================
You can upgrade to latest version of PDF Form Filler OCX to try again.

We have lots of updates for the core PDF technology, these updates are available for all of our products which based on core PDF technology, include PDF Form Filler OCX and PDF Form Filler SDK and Advanced PDF Tools and other products. After you renewed the gold support, we will compile a new version of pdfformocx.ocx and send to you asap.

DOC to Any Converter

Converting RTF to PDF (Correction)

Posted on
I am trying to convert a Rich Text document to PDF, overlay a Form and print. I have accomplished everything when converting a text document but Text2PDF doesn’t work with RTF files. Which application should I use for converting the RTF document to PDF retaining font and formatting characteristics?

Thanks for your great technical support!

I forgot – I am using command line interface. (Important!)
======================================
Please download DOC to Any Converter from following page to try, DOC to Any Converter can convert RTF files to PDF files from command line,

http://www.verydoc.com/doc-to-any.html

======================================
That worked, thank you.

However, in addition to the evaluation warning I also got an error message : "ERROR: connection failed. Please make sure OpenOffice.org is running and listening on port 8100". What does this mean?

Also the conversion of a rather simple document took almost 40 seconds. Is that normal?

Here is the command string I used: ( "C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Advantasoft\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe" c:\temp\doc1.rtf C:\temp\doc1.pdf )

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

Doc2any.exe will try to use OpenOffice to convert your RTF file to PDF file, if your system hasn't OpenOffice installed, you can simple ignore this warning message.

>>Here is the command string I used: ( "C:\Documents and

>>c:\temp\doc1.rtf C:\temp\doc1.pdf )

This is normal, because doc2any.exe is need some time to render RTF file and print it to virtual printer to create the PDF file, these steps are all need some time, so this time is normal.
Also, when you convert RTF file to PDF file at first time, doc2any.exe will spend some time to install a virtual printer, this time will be saved when you convert RTF file to PDF file at second and following conversions.

HTML Converter (htmltools)

VeryPDF html converter conversion bug

Posted on
Hi, I have a simple html page with 2 not animated gif's (saved from Photoshop), and they aren't converted in the PDF, there's only an'empty place.
And there's also an text with a hyperlink, the space before the text with the hyperlink in the pdf is cutted away.
An other problem is that the page in the pdf is centered and not top aligned.

One question, is the conversion Internet Explorer depended or does it have an indipendent conversion engine?
====================
Please download latest version of HTML Converter from our website to try again, we hoping the latest version will work better for you,

https://www.verypdf.com/htmltools/index.html

please refer to attached PDF file, this PDF file was created by following command line, this PDF file looks fine,

htmltools.exe D:\temp3\estimate_it.html D:\temp3\estimate_it.pdf

====================
Thank you for your fast reply, the file you converted is correct , but  I was using VeryPDF HTML Converter v2.0 (GUI Version) to make the tests.

We really need to do the conversion by command line, does it mean we have to buy
VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line Version v2.1 for 399 US$ ?
====================
Yes, you can use "VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line Version v2.1 for 399 US$" to convert this HTML file to PDF file, HTML Converter Command Line is work better than GUI version, you can always use HTML Converter Command Line to instead of GUI version without any problem.

VeryPDF
====================
Hi, isn't it possibile to use also VeryPDF HTML Converter v2.0 (GUI Version) by command line? Honestly 400 US$ is too much for us.
Thank you in advance, best regards.
====================
Thanks for your message, VeryPDF HTML Converter v2.0 (GUI Version) doesn't support Command Line feature, if you wish use command line feature, you need purchase command line version, please understand.

PCL – PDF with Multiplexing

Posted on
We have 2 customers that have PCL files and both have mixed pages in the files.  An example is with a 10 page file, the first 3 pages are actually duplex and would require that a blank forth page be added to the converted PDF file, then all other pages are simplexed pages.  The PDF file should be 18 pages with the correct number of blank pages to insure the wrong information is not printed on the back of the wrong pages.

Can VeryPCL handle Duplex/Simplex calls inside the PCL when creating the PDF file?
============================
Thanks for your message, our PCL Converter can't handle " Duplex " during PCL to PDF conversion, it will simple ignore " Duplex " option which set in original PCL file.

============================
Thanks for the email Invoice this morning, my purchasing department is working on the payment for the application.

Attached is another customer we are having the same issue with and would like to determine feasibility.  The PDF files have the Duplex pieces looking like a Simplex piece.  We would like to know if the same Custom application you quoted already will also apply?
============================
At a glance, the BATCH2.PA.PCL file is no difference compare to your other PCL files, however, I can't give you an exact answer now, we will try to work on your first PCL files first, after first PCL files are work properly, we will work on your BATCH2.PA.PCL file again, if we found any difference, I will let you know.

Also, just to confirm the page arrangement in output PDF file, for the 65434.pcl file, the 65434.pcl file contains following pages,

Page 1 is "Front",
Page 2 is "Back",
Page 3 is "Front",
Page 4 is "Front",
Page 5 is "Front",
Page 6 is "Front",
Page 7 is "Front",
Page 8 is "Back",
Page 9 is "Front",

Can you please kindly let us know what is the page order in the output PDF file?
