Convert Pagemaker 7.0 files to PDF and cannot do without a PostScript for Windows 7 64 bit printer driver.

I am trying to convert Pagemaker 7.0 files to PDF and cannot do without a PostScript printer driver.

The driver on the PM installation disc will not install.

The driver is available on the Adobe Web site will not be installed.

HP support cannot help me. They directed me to Adobe.

Adobe technical support is no help at all unless I want to pay $140.00 to use the software that I have already purchased from them.

Where and how can I get a PostScript printer driver for my Windows 7 64 bit computer?

I'm under 64-bit Windows 8. There are a few options:

1. in my case, I use Adobe Creative Suite CS3 as well. It comes with Adobe Acrobat 8.0, which must be upgraded to version 8.1.3 or about 64-bit support. This, however, works OK with PageMaker 7.0.

2. There is a method using a printer driver called "imagesetter MS Publisher' which is actually Postscript and will do the job. You will need to do some research on it: I remember using this method when installing PM 7.0 under the preview release. I also noticed that there is a 'PS Microsoft class driver"Windows 8. Maybe it's worth a try.

3. try a third free PDF writer. I have recommended Nitro Reader for some customers.

I keep only PageMaker to open the old client files, and anything but trivial changes, I migrate files to InDesign (which opens the MP files date back as far as PM6). You can be a better buy InDesign (if only an older version) and do the same thing - it is a much better program and PM is blowing out of the water.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Greetings,

    I searched the forums, and this mistake has been examined in the context of how to treat a damaged PDF file.

    My question is a little different. The company that I am working has a tool to create what we call "knowledge base articles", i.e. product XML authoring with us help topics. They used this tool from 2008. Files can be attached to a topic. The XML files and attached PDF files is stored in a SQL database. Using the TOC Panel or the search function, relevant topics are retrieved.

    When there is an attached PDF, users can view the PDF in the browser or download the file and open it locally.

    The knowledge base has been moved from an environment of database SQL 2005 in Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 for an environment database of SQL 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

    Now that we have the following problem: in some subjects the downloaded PDF can't be opened and one error

    "There is an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired. "is displayed. The curious is that some PDF files published this error, while others open without a problem. Source file all PDF files open without a hitch before they are downloaded.

    Any advice or pointers would be very appreciated.

    TIA, Donna

    Donna,.

    as you have probably read in a lot of discussions on this matter, this error message is usually correct, and the PDF file is damaged. As for how it gets damaged, it's something you need to know by poking around in your system. Here are a few general things that always apply when working with corrupt files:

    The first thing I would do is open such a file corrupted in a text editor such as NotePad to see what it actually contains. Any valid PDF file must begin with '% PDF -' followed by a version number. If you don't see that in the first line, then you are not dealing with a PDF file and you know why you do not get the file saved in your knowledge base.

    If this string is there, then you know that there a PDF file and the issue is somewhere in this file, and is where it gets much more complex. You will need a good understanding of the PDF specification to parse the file to see what is wrong with him.

    If you're lucky, you'll actually have a file of length zero (which means also no PDF header). No valid PDF file cannot be zero bytes long. Your second chance case would you find in fact an HTML error in this file (instead of PDF content), that tells you the reason for the problem (but again, this depends on your system).

  • I have a license of a vector, but the file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    I have a license of a vector of Stock and when I import it into Illustrator says "the file is damaged and cannot be repaired." I need to edit the vector in illustrator and import it into indesign. I log off CC and reconnected I know sometimes that's helped before with images but that did not work. At the same time, I also registered 2 images that work well, but not the vector. I have the license of your web portal, not the application, but I don't think that should make a difference. Any ideas on how to get this vector to work? Thank you.

    The number is #50433877. I had to call customer service and they couldn't get it to work either. They ended up giving me a credit and I've used a vector that is similar to the for replace. Strange preview works perfectly, but when I have a license for it, it broke.

  • Error7 message about the signature unidentified, the upgrade and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows Vista.

    Original title: error upgrading and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows 6.

    I tried all kinds of ways to solve this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. This all started when I tried to update my iTunes to version 10.5. Then came the error message 7 on unidentified signature etc. I could not even run my iTunes more then. I started download iTunes again to repair and it just doesn't work. I don't have problems with the installation of my iTunes for the first time a year ago and upgraded whenever I allow it.

    All other methods I tried to correct the error includes:
    • Uninstall iTunes completely and everything that it supports the programs and files (Quicktime, supporter of Mobile, Hello, Safari etc.)
    • Download Quicktime separately after you have uninstalled it as suggested by other users in some forum.
    • Update the frame Microsot.NET as suggested by the Apple Support site.
    • Manually started the installation of such Windows program suggested by one of the answers on this site:

      a. click the Start button, and then type services.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.
      b. Locate the Windows Installer service.
      c. check that the status is started. If the condition column is empty,
      d. right-click on Windows Installer, and then select start.
      e. If you get error trying to force start the Windows Installer service, then try to change the Startup Type to automatic.
      f. restart the computer.

      I have tried for at least 10 times and I have not yet set and am frustrated. Would be really grateful a solution to this soon.

      Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium - Version 6.0 (build 6002: Servie Pack 2).

      Thank you.

  • Slow bootups and hang up continual for Windows 7 64-bit

    Last week, I installed Windows 7 64 bit on a new machine.  I immediately noticed that the startup is hooked up with the circle of eternity on the network icon.    It took about 2 minutes for this to go and for the icon home group is displayed.  It comes without any installed software.  During this time you can do nothing, or the system freezes.  Also, I received a lot of messages saying Explorer did not work properly and it was repaired.  I saw that that about 3 - 4 times.  I have yet to see this message.

    Last night, I received an update to IE for Windows 7 64 bit, and when I rebooted the boot that happened in less than 30 sec.  I have thougth it was the solution.  After that I used the system for a while, I closed all programs and restarted the PC.  It took 5 min to stop and he told me that IE.exe was still working and I wanted to stop him.  Now, the system takes about 5 min to start and it crashes.  I right click on my computer after the reboot and it froze in place.  I had to reboot.  The system is very unstable.

    I've updated all my drivers and firmware MB.

    OK, I did a clean install of Windows 7 64.  I have NOT used Windows Easy Transfer.  I loaded the drivers all updated and all my software.  The machine works as it must.  There is no problem.

    The OS has been corrupted by Windows Easy Transfer.  All the software installed without a hitch.  Previously, it took a day to get Office 2007 and iTunes to install correctly.  It was a pain to set Outlook and configure everything manually, but it was worth it.

    I worked for 2 solid weeks and could come out not all the bugs of Windows Easy Transfer.  Only advice I could get Microsoft engineers had to perform the METHODS 1 and 2.  They are of no use.  The users of this forum are the real problem solvers!

    Do NOT use Windows Easy Transfer!

    Also, I don't see an advantage to using an Apple unless you want to be in line with their rigid software and hardware required.  I contact iTunes because I couldn't to load properly and they said that they did not support itunes with Windows 7.  Laughing out loud

    I've done several through the process image files. I suggest uses do this too.  It might make you save a lot of hours.
