Creating a PDF in pages that retains all line breaks and formatting as source

Currently when we get pages documents, we convert them to PDF and send them off to be converted by a partner. We do this because said partner doesn't accept pages.
However, lately we've found issues in PDFs created by pages that do not retain styling nor line breaks correctly.
Example for line breaks:
The quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dog.
When converted to PDF it shows exactly the same on the PDF, as it did pages. The paragraph breaks are retain in the pages document, and the PDF looks correct.
But when you copy/paste the text (which is generally how we test how valid the actual text is) you get something like:
The quick brown
fox
jumped over the lazy dog.
In some cases we even get line breaks on every word.
We used the Export to PDF feature, the Print to PDF feature, and even generated a postscript and distilled with Acrobat Pro.
Does anyone know how to solve this? It seems anything generated with QuartzPDFContext has issues.

Interesting that preview works, but not Acrobat. Thanks!
We are using export to word as a second option. The formatting (as in exact spacing and such) isn't always 100% retained. PDF afterall is a representation of what the customer wants. We don't always suggest it but in some type of books it helps.

Can I create a PDF fillable form that allows form multiple entries and one submission?

For example, I would like to enter new hire information for multiple new hire employees and only click the submit button once.

Good Morning Randy -
Sorry for not giving you a clear enough description. I was trying to avoid a novel.
I hope to use FORMSCENTRAL for create a form for on-line users to register for meetings including paying via paypal. Some of the people register and pay for the meeting by themselves and others are registered by their office assistant, so there might be as many as 25-30 people.
The individual registrants are easy and doable with FORMSCENTRAL.
However, for the multiple registrants, I would like to create a form that can handle multiple registrants and only one submission for payment. So far, I have only been able to do that by creating a form that has the registrant fields created multiple times. I would really like to be able to have the set of fields created once unless I need to add the set of fields multiple times. I am sure that complications keeping track of the total payment due as well.
Being able to set-up a table with the fields across (left to right) for each registrant would be good.
Maybe this does not explain it well enough in which case, I can call and explain our need.
Thanks in advance.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

Can I convert pse3 catalog to pse7 on windows 7 and retain all my albums and vcds that I made?

Can I convert pse3 catalog to pse7 on windows7 and retain all my albums and vcds? and how do I do it?

I have no experience with PSE3, only from PSE4 on.
Have a look at that note:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
And:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
I suppose there is a way to 'write metadata to files' in PSE3. This writes all your tags, captions and ratings from your catalog to the metadata header of each of your media files. Those are recognized and recovered if you 'get photos and videos...' from files or folders in ulterior versions of Elements.

I’ve got a mid 2009 MacBook Pro. Today, I updated to Yosemite 10.10.1. I also updated Safari to 8.0.2. Now, anytime I open Safari, it immediately quits and give me an error page that says, Safari unexpectedly quit and suggest that I can click on a Reopen button and restart it, but it just does it again.
I read some of the questions and responses here and went to ~/Library/Safari and threw out the webpages.db file and emptied the trash and rebooted.
No luck; same problem.
BTW: Mail works
Any ideas how to get around this?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Can I create a presentation in iPhoto that will combine still slides and video?

I have just returned from a safari and have a lot of pictures and videos from the trip. I would like to create a presentation/slide show that will show the slides and also videos in the same slide show and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.

and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.
If you want a native Mac application for your slideshow you could also try Keynote, the Apple alternative to Powerpoint. It will give you similar presentation options.
Aperture - if you have it - would allow to trim the videos, allow more fine control over how the audio of the clips will be mixed, and still allow to manually pace the slideshow, but it is expensive and will no longer be developed. But if you have compatible versions of Aperture and iPhoto, simple open your iPhoto Library in Aperture: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
- Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.

Can I create a completely custom page layout for a book, positioning and sizing pictures and text?

I'd like to create a totally custom page, inserting photos at various locations and sizes as well as text regions. Can this be done? I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

I've found it's worthwhile spending time fiddling and adjusting Lightroom's templates and saving to Custom Pages but I haven't found a way of removing a custom page layout once I've finished using it or tweaked it some more. Can you say how to remove one, please, johnbeardy? I can put them in and out of Favourites but the Custom Pages list just gets too long.

You will not lose everything on you phone if you backup prior to updating. You can do it maunaully (simply by syncing your phone with itunes) but when you update iTunes will prompt you do back up your phone anyways. After you've updated you can reload everything on to your phone with the itunes back up.

Can't create PDF from Word that retains links

I'm using Microsoft Word from Office Professional 2010, Version: 14.0.7116.5000 (64-bit) with Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, and Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard 11.0.03.
Whenever I use a particular font (which is the main font I use for text, so I can't really use something else), and try to retain the links in the Word document, it never creates the PDF properly. For example, if I print to Adobe PDF, using many different settings, the font embeds properly but the hyperlinks are never retained (by "hyperlink" I mean the text in Word that is selected and has an underlying web link). I've tried many different Acrobat settings, and Word settings, but nothing seems to make it retain the links when I'm using Print to create the PDF.
But, if I use the Acrobat tab in Word, and the Create PDF button, the PDF will retain the links, but the main font I use (Mercury Text Fonts | Hoefler & Co.) is never embedded (despite all the settings I've tried), and instead that main roman font is replaced with a bold version of that font. NOTE: There are NOT license restrictions on the font, which is especially obvious since the bold versions of the font embed no matter what, and the regular roman version of the font embeds when I print to a PDF not using the Acrobat tab.
Of course, I have indeed used Acrobat's advanced settings to "always embed" the particular font, but it still won't embed.
How can I resolve this? I don't mind calling premium Acrobat support is such an option exists. Thank you.

93654User, I looked at the Hoefler website. It is not clear to me that their license allows for the embedding of fonts in pdfs: Create and modify Embedded Software Files, using the Permitted Computer(s). Licensee is also permitted to reproduce, distribute and display Non-Commercial Documents without obtaining an additional license. For clarity, except for Non-Commercial Documents, no right to reproduce, distribute or display any Embedded Software Files is granted by this license. In order to reproduce, distribute or display an Embedded Software File created pursuant to this Section that is not a Non-Commercial Document, Licensee must obtain a Software Distribution License, a Commercial Digital Publishing License, or another license as specified by Licensor. Please contact Licensor at [email protected] if you require these additional rights. All Embedded Software Files created pursuant to this subparagraph must comply with all of the following: I would contact the company to see if they allow licensing in pdfs. Also early versions of fonts from many years ago had a non-embed font flag improperly set. The only way you can be sure what is happening with this font is to contact its maker.
