Can't Build a PDF Portfolio

The HELP function suggests building a PDF Portfolio, which would be helpful for me when doing serches on PDF documents. But when I go to the File drop-down menu, no option appears for PDF portfolio, as the HELP instructions says there should occur. How do I build a Portfolio?

Adobe Reader can't create PDF Portfolios. In Adobe Acrobat use 'Combine Files'.

Can I use SDK to build a PDF portfolio?

I have Acrobat Pro 9.3 installed and am trying to use the 9.1 SDK to programmaticallly build a pdf collection of existing PDF files. I prefer to do this via Visual Studio 2008/C# but I do not see the funtionality in the SDK. Am I missing something? Thanks, Linda

Hi,
I haven't checked in the 9.1 SDK but in the 9.0 SDK it was only possible to create a PDF portfolio using JavaScript or C++.
Presumably you could use the JSObject called from C# to create one although I don't know how much of the process has been documented. And as of the 9.0 SDK you where not able to change the Portfolio to use a custom navigator ( although this may have changed).
Let us know if you need more information.

How can I open a PDF portfolio in an ipad mini ?

I am new in Apple things and the first one I get (ipad mini) is not able to open a PDF porfolio with 30 pages. All I get is a message suggesting me to download Adobe Reader which I did but still the same and all I can get after is open only the first page of the portfolio but no way to navigate through the document. Would someone help ?

When a portfolio PDF is opened in Adobe Reader for iOS, what you will get is a list of the documents that are included in the portfolio. A portfolio isn't a document with pages, it is a container for file attachments that has a Flash-based interface. Flash is not allowed on iOS as it is on a Windows or Mac OS, to the list of files is all you get.
If you don't see the list of documents, then it may be that you're not opening the portfolio PDF in Adobe Reader, but rather iOS's built-in PDF viewer. Look for the Open In icon and select Adobe Reader if that's the case.
If you're using the term "PDF portfolio" to refer to something else, post again and calrify exactly what you mean.

Acrobate 9 Pro - How to re-create PDF Portfolio?

Online literature says you can "re-create a PDF Portfolio after revising source files, without having to locate and gather the native files again".
How is this done?

I believe you need to open the source file from WITHIN the portfolio, make your changes and save it (the source file) and then save the portfolio again. I've done it this way and it works. There might be others way, but I haven't tried them.

Installing complimentary PDF Portfolio into Acrobat XI Standard?

I can download the complimentary PDF Portfolio and extract it from the zip, but when I open Acrobat, there are no instructions to follow (as the download page says there will be). And it isn't showing on the create menu. Ideas?
Thanks.

Hi GooseG25
Acrobat XI Standard doesn't have portfolio feature , it is available in Pro only.
Please See : http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
Otherwise please let me know your exact workflow

Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
Thanks,
Lisa

I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
Thanks,
Lisa

PDF Portfolio SDK setup - Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder 4.6 does not show

Hello, Experts
I am trying to build PDF Custom Navigator using Adobe PDF Portfolio SDK; however, for some reason, when performing step 3 of installation, Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder ( 4.6 ) would not show;
The plugins have been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
The NavigatorSupport folder has been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse and ( just in case ) to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards,
-Alex

as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

How can I create a dynamic XML driven PDF Portfolio?

I have built an XML application for which I maintain a library of individual PDF page "templates" used to assemble large (1000+ pages) PDF documents. The page templates are saved as PDFs without page numbers as they can be reused anywhere in any manual, the page numbers are applied during the document assembly process. I am now attempting to implement an update process, in which one template change can impact dozens of large documents. I am therefore looking at moving away from creating these large PDF documents and creating something more along the lines of a Package, Portfolio or other solution in which document pages/templates in the library are linked to rather than combined, so that changes across multiple large documents can be done quickly and transparently to the user. I am sure there is a solution using an Adobe spec like Portfolio or XDP, I just need a nudge down the right path, as nothing in what I've read explicitly states that these technologies can be used for this purpose. I would prefer to stay within technologies I am comfortable with to create/modify the necessary files, whcih are XML/XSLT and ANT. I would also like to know if it's possible to add page numbers on the footer of each page in the Portfolio without modifying the template, and if the resulting Portfolio can be saved as a normal PDF or printed with the dynamic page numbers included.
I know this might be a tall order but if anyone can help clarify what's possible with existing Adobe technologies it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Indeed - PDF Portfolios are a collection of static files attached to a one-page cover sheet, you cannot have references to externally-stored documents.
You can replace individual files in a Portfolio (by adding a file of the same name) but nothing happens automatically, and the file when added to the Portfolio will have no idea about where it originally came from. There's no concept of "check for updates".

Can I add a password to a PDF portfolio created from multiple emails?

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can add a password to a PDF portfolio that I created by converting several emails into a PDF?
Thanks in advance for your invaluable help!
-Matt

When viewing a Portfolio the classic Tools Pane is not visible, so you cannot apply security in the usual way.
Instead, open the properties dialog (menu > File > Portfolio Properties) and select the Security tab. Change the dropdown field to "password security" and the dialog box will appear to enter the permissions information.

Can't open PDF portfolio in Adobe Reader 11.0.10

I've seen this question asked a few times on the Forums, but I haven't seen an answer.
I received a PDF portfolio, but I can't open it on my Mac (OSX 10.10.2) using Adobe Reader 11.0.10. When I try to open it, I get the message, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I've tried both Adobe Reader and Acrobat (also 11.0.10) but I keep getting the same message in both. I heard that this can sometimes be a problem caused by Flash, but I am running version 16.0.0.296 of that. I tried updating both Adobe Reader and Flash Player just in case I didn't have the latest version for some reason, but I still can't open the file. Is there anything else that I should do to get it to open correctly?

Hi Zak ,
In order to view PDF Portfolio content, you need to have Flash Player installed on your system.
You might have been prompted to use Flash Player to view the same.
Have you installed Adobe Flash Player on your system? You can install it from the link mentioned below:
Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions
Let us know.

File - Create PDF Portfolio causes Adobe Acrobate 9.0 to stop working. How can I fix this?

File -> Create PDF Portfolio causes Adobe Acrobate 9.0 to stop working. How can I fix this?

Have you done the updates to AA9? It is currently at 9.5.5.

Can you create a table of contents for the documents within a PDF Portfolio?

If I create a pdf portfolio that contains multiple documents (e.g. Word, multiple PDFs and Excel documents), is there a way to create a table of contents at the beginning of the portfolio to help navigate to the individual documents?

Hi,
The Files list displays a list of files, so the user can quickly see all the files in the portfolio with any information you want to share; title, description, file type, size etc.
Or, you can also use a different layout, for example, the Linear and use the space next to each file to describe it.
Hope this helps.......

Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, if it helps. I was able to find it at File > Portfolio Properties > Security > Security Method.
This is what I was looking for, Dave. It prompts the user for the password when they try to open the portfolio.

Can you display a Last Modified Date anywhere on a PDF Portfolio?

Can you display a Last Modified Date anywhere on a PDF Portfolio?
Thank you for the help!
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

There is no generic SQL way for this. It depends completely on the features your DBMS offers. With Oracle you'd need to create column which gets updated in a trigger. I believe MS SQL Server offers a special data type for this, which is updated automatically. I don't know about others.
