Re: Print PDF - the file name convention options

In Acrobat Preferences start with Advanced settings > fonts and take it from
there :)
The US ftp server for the download still has me blocked I'm afraid.

I double checked the link, and it works for me, and all the Web links
about it direct right back to that page. Too bad, i'd have loved to
hear what you might have seen in the properties that might be causing
my problem.

I have Adobe 9 so i'm good there. Even standard fonts can cause
problems when uploading to the court system. (Not that I really
understand computer stuff), but I think its more of a security issue
to make sure no bugs, or viruses etc. slip through -basically if its
a static image, they'll allow it to be uploaded. All i really know
is that its a pain in ...

I'll look into your suggestion about creating ISO19005-1 compliant PDF
files, and see if that will reliably create files I can upload to the
Court. I'll have to fiddle around with the PDF preferences i see Word
2007 has and see what works.
If it works, maybe i can bypass the ABXPDF entirely.

Thanks for taking the time to help out.

Acrobat can certainly be configured to embed fonts (though there may
be issues of copyright involved, in which case I wonder if the Court
system is acting legally if it will embed fonts that Acrobat cannot
embed?) It is necessary however to use the add-in to get the best
from Acrobat/Word and for that to work you need version 8+ for
Office 2007 compatibility. If you have an earlier version of
Acrobat you can set its driver properties to embed fonts.

I am also rather surprised (perhaps not) that the Court requires
documents in some non-standard Windows font. The legal system is
complicated enough without ridiculous font requirements. If the
fomts were standard there would be no need to embed them.

The Microsoft PDF add-in for Office 2007 will also embed fonts
provided you set the option to create ISO19005-1 compliant PDF
files, and names the PDFs to match the name of the document.

As I cannot download the ABXPDF driver I cannot check out its
properties, but that is where you should look for naming conventions.

The document layouts and formating are created in Word, and then
simply printed to PDF. And I do have full Adobe, (but this usually
causes problems by not embedding fonts, etc. So one has to use the
writer to correct these problems, otherwise its a long day of
reprinting, eventual scanning the document and reuploading files).
The problem only occurs when using this ABXPDF writer/ print driver.
When I print to PDF without using ABXPDF, the problem does not
occur. And as i believe i mentioned previously, the last version of
Word i was using didn't cause this problem.

Here is the link to the ABXPDF:

While I don't dispute what you are saying, 'printer' drivers do not
normally affect the formatting of the document. This is usually
achieved by the template used to create the document. If the end
result is a PDF file, then surely the document layout could be
created in Word and printed to a PDF driver, such as the industry
standard Acrobat, without having to use some Mickey Mouse
application cobbled together by the court?

Is this 'module' in the public domain? If so can you post the link
so that we can see what is involved?

My office has to use a special PDF, "ABXPDF", print
(add-in/module?) that has a formating requirements accepted by
the Courts- you have to download it from the Court website, so I
don't know what they did to the formating.

My questions is on the naming conventions of the PDF file when you
go to print to PDF from Word 2007. When you normally do a print
to PDF in basically brings up a "save as" box that allows you to
save the file as a PDF using the same file name, but as a PDF.
However, in the ABXPDF printing (module/add-in?) the box comes up
and adds in "Microsoft Word -" before the file name, which I then
have to delete, because of the Court's file naming requirements.

Is there anyway to set the default naming convention so it doesn't
add the "Microsoft Word -" in front every time?
