Troubleshooting
Typically you may get errors such as “Control file is malformed” or “The file ‘x.pdf’
doesn’t exist”. The reason for these errors may be one of the following:
• You have moved or deleted a PDF file.
• You have spelt the pathname of a file incorrectly.
• You have used spaces instead of tabs.
• You used quotes before/after the pathname.
Please see
Using a control file for the correct structure of a control file.
Files on a network drive
“Can the Content Assembly feature work if all my files are stored on a network drive?”
Yes, Content Assembly features will work even if the files are stored on a network drive.
The only exception is the control file function for the merge feature. The merge will not
work if the control file is stored on a network drive, it must be stored locally.
Wrong stamp applied
I’ve stamped my document and it was the wrong stamp. I need to remove the stamp,
how do I do it?
To remove a stamp, select Undo Stamp from the Stamp tool button or ‘Plug-ins > ARTS
PDF Aerialist > Stamp’ menu. Stamps can only be removed using the undo feature if the
document has not been saved. If the document has been saved, use Acrobat’s built in
editing tools to remove unwanted stamp objects.
The preview pane
I really like using Stamp feature but switching between profiles in the Stamp
Management dialog results in the application taking some time to refresh the preview
pane. How can I improve this?
The preview pane is designed to offer a very accurate representation of how the output
document will appear. It’s possible to navigate through pages in a document to verify
your stamp settings. Consequently clicking on multiple stamps requires the preview
pane to refresh at every click. For large documents or profiles with many stamps we
recommend that you uncheck the preview option to minimize unnecessary processing. If
you wish to preview the output, simply recheck it.
Tool and Toolbar Limits
“Are there any limits to the number of tools or toolbars I can create?”
For performance reasons, there is a limit of 20 toolbars loaded at a time and a limit of
100 tools per toolbar. If you want to keep your tools or toolbars, but keeping them will
exceed the limit, use the export feature to save those tools or toolbars that you don't
regularly use and just import them when needed.
