I convert a Word Document, containing 10 Portrait pages followed by 10 Landscape pages. I use Batchconvert Function without any other modification (simply to have a PDF). I can display the document in Acrobat Reader 4.0, and all my page are perfectly correct.
I want now to convert this (Amyuni) PDF by adding a watermark, still with Batchconvert function. All my Portrait Pages are correctly displayed, but there is a big mess in the characters of the landscape pages (like if the font was not the good one).
PDFPrinter.FileNameOptionsEx = NoPrompt + UseFileName + EmbedFonts + BroadcastMessages + PrintWatermark _
+ FullEmbed + EmbedStandardFonts + EmbedLicensedFonts
PDFPrinter.FontEmbedding = True
PDFPrinter.HorizontalMargin = 0
PDFPrinter.VerticalMargin = 0
...
PDFPrinter.SetWatermark ptextout.chaine, "MS Sans Serif", iHauteur, 0, &H0, iPosY, iPosX, True
...
PDFPrinter.BatchConvert(sFichier)
For other reasons I cannot use a more recent Acrobat Reader.
Is it possible that my problem comes from a bad settings and what could be the good one ?

PDF with watermark displayed in Acrobat Reader 4.0
Hello Thierry,
I get your files, I checked them and will follow up on this issue by e-mail, but I will add a general note here for other users who may be searching the forum:
When printing pdf files from Acrobat Reader to the PDF Printer, users need to enable Font Embedding to get a good output.
Have a nice day.

Not enough
Hello,
I tried your program on a NT4 station with Reader 4.0, and I still have a "transformation" of the font on the landscape pages (still good on the portrait âges). I follow my test in order to give you more precise information on my contfiguration

STILL NO NEWS
Hello,
No news since July.
Whatever the Acrobat REader used to print the Amyuni PDF document on a Windows NT station, there is a problem when the document contains landscape pages. The space between each characters is not equal to the one of the police used.
Do you have any new version available which correct this problem ?

Hello,
I am not sure if i already sent a reply by e-mail:
"Under NT4, the problem seems to be related to Acrobat Reader 4 that is
not properly handling rotated pages. They suggested that you update the
version of Acrobat on NT4.
Under XP and Word 2003, the PDF printer does not have any control on the
page numbering. The PDF printer simply converts to PDF the output sent
to it by the application. So if you are getting page 1 of 1, 2 of 2, ...
then this is what MS Word is printing and we cannot control it."
If you need any further information please contact support@amyuni.com
Best Regards.

Whatever the version of acrobat the result is the same
Hello,
I tried with two other versions of Acrobat Reader on Windows NT 4.0 and the result is the same.
On windows NT 4.0, landscape pages of a PDF document generated by Amyuni (batchconvert method) is incorrectly printed through amyuni driver, whatever the version of acrobat reader. The same document is correctly displayed in Acrobat Reader 4.0, but printed through the amyuni driver (for a second treatment with batchconvert method) the new pdf document has bad landscape pages (in the same document, the first pages which are in protrait are correctly presented) :
The same document, treated with Acrobat Reader 4.0 on windows 2000 or Windows XP is correctly treated with amyuni driver.
The problem is only under NT, an OS I must work with.
Concerning the problem of numerotation of pages, it is effectively a problem caused by another application and not by amyuni.

Hello Thierry,
Our Technical Support Representatives will follow up on this issue with you by e-mail.
But there is one thing that I don't really understand: why do you need to convert the pdf file you generte to pdf a second time? Why do you need to print the pdf file to the PDF Printer again using BatchConvert? Is it only to add Watermaks to the pdf file?
You can add watermaks the first time you are converting the file, you don't need to print the pdf file to the PDF Printer again.
Regards.

to work with pdf
Hello Joan,
With some document it will not be possible to print directly with watermarks (the software to print an original document will not be on some station). It is then necessary to convert the document in a common format, which we have decided to be PDF. The watermark must contain the date of printing, so I need to add my watermark in a second step.
Thanks for your help

merging portrait and landscape
Hello joan,
As far as we have understood, the merging suppose to know the format of each page of a document in order to prepare the "watermark pdf", instead of what the landscape pages are truncated when merged with a portrait pages with watermark.
We do not know how to retrieve the disposition of each page of a pdf document, so only the batchconvert can help.

thierry

Hi,
I sent you this note by e-mail but will add it here.
In similar cases: if you are obliged to add a text watermark after the pdf file is generated, and you can not use the Merge function to merge two pdf files, you can use the PDF Creator http://www.amyuni.com/en/products/pdf_creator/demo.html to open a pdf file and add a text to it, you can set the text angle, position and color as desired.
