I know you guys have novaPDF, will it do this? Or is there some other product out there?</p> <p>Currently I send the file to the printer byte by byte, but this only works if the printer supports pdfs printing directly, and it's quite slow. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/letter-spacing#post-1060 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:02:52 +0000 ashishbhatt1ster 1060@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>i have one query for interactive pdf form.

Cool. Fast, and converts what Adobe can't do (like a 100MB Word)</p> <p>The things I would like to point out is that the PDF from Adobe (after splitting the DOC and creating split PDFs and joining) is 4MB in size. doPDF does a &gt;30MB file with 300 DPI and 14MB with 72 DPI. Both files have really hard JPEG compression.</p> <p>It would be cool if the images can be compressed in PNG (or if PDF doesn't allow that) in some other format (GIFlike?) or JPEG whatever is smaller or preserves the quality better.</p> <p>Compressing a "screenshot" for example is lossless with PNG and smaller than with JPEG but an outdoor picture is smaller with JPEG and maybe has non-perceptible loss.</p> <p>The other awful thing is that the watermark ("Draft" 60 degrees angle) on the document I've compressed seems to be saved as a picture, and might take some space. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/no-fonts-on-pc-display-device-but-a-block-with-a-cross-in-it#post-1054 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:47:40 +0000 Babs 1054@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>When my the customer opens the pdf on her pc.

According to their latest press release:</p> <blockquote><p>RegistryBooster is an automatic, powerful and comprehensive application for improving PC performance, stability and general health. Originally launched in 2006, the 2010 version of the software has been published, with some major improvements and additional features. </p> <p>The 2010 release is a major upgrade and includes the following improvements and developments:</p> <ul> <li>5 different language options – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.</li> <li>Compliant with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista and XP</li> <li>32 and 64-bit compatibility</li> <li>Smaller and faster download /install. Smaller file size and improved server performance have improved download time.</li> <li>Enhanced, deeper and faster scan performance. New development of the scanning engine means that scans are more thorough and efficient than those performed by previous versions of the software.</li> <li>Improved, easier-to-use GUI. Based on the results of usability testing, the functionality within the GUI has been improved enabling users to understand the features better. Registry categories have been split into 3 major segments, with errors now being displayed by segment and category. This interface upgrade means that users can see, at-a-glance and with greater understanding, where any problems may lie.</li> <li>Quicker backup and restore procedure. Backups are now more compact, backing up only information required to revert to the previous state of the registry.</li> <li>New "Damaged Level" feature. This new feature indicates Uniblue's assessment of the potential damage caused by registry errors to a PC’s general stability and performance. Rated on a scale from "low" to "high", a low damage level indicates that a PC is healthy, while a high damage level shows that the computer is at serious risk of performance loss due to registry impairment.</li> </ul> <p>Johan Malmberg, Uniblue’s CVO is excited by the new version and added, "Since its launch in 2006, RegistryBooster has gone from strength to strength. We’re confident that the improvements in the 2010 version will give the PC user an even better experience with the much improved, simple-to-use interface, faster download, install and scanning times and a significantly upgraded backend. Windows 7, 32 and 64-bit compatibility combined with the availability of several language options, means that many more computer users globally can benefit from the utility“.</p></blockquote> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/the-save-pdf-file-dialog-box-comes-up-behind-open-windows#post-1040 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:18:55 +0000 Softland 1040@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Are you using the latest version of dopdf, 6.3?

In fact this feature will be included in dopdf 7 which should be released in november or early december.</p> <p>Right now if you want to reduce the size of the pdf you can choose not to embed the fonts. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/subset-of-embedded-fonts#post-1033 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:21:32 +0000 Guillaume_nl 1033@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>In a future version of doPDF we'll embed by default all used font subsets.</p></blockquote> <p>This is a quote of yourself:<br /> <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/which-fonts-are-supported#post-309" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/which-fonts-are-supported#post-309</a></p> <p>So why is it that subsets are not to be/cannot be supported all of a sudden? In my opinion it makes doPDF completely useless, as a 182KB PDF-file with some text becomes a 2.99MB file when fonts are embedded (whereas if I create the same file with subset of fonts embedded in OpenOffice, the file is only 81KB). </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/automation#post-1032 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:09:09 +0000 Softland 1032@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi, the best thing would be to contact novapdf at support[at]novapdf.com , this way they'll give you more specific details regarding your project.

One solution would be to copy/paste the text into a new word document for instance and convert that directly with dopdf. However, this might be a lenghty process if the document has quite some text. If I'm not mistaken Adobe Reader (the free one) has an option that once the pdf is opened you can Save As Text, so you might look into doing that to see what it generates and convert the resulting file. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/improvement-suggestion#post-1030 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:04:13 +0000 Softland 1030@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for the suggestion, we'll consider changing it. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/suggested-output-folder-different-in-vista#post-1029 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:03:10 +0000 Softland 1029@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>That's right, on Vista it doesn't suggest the folder where the document was opened from.
