Creating a PDF Portfolio with a side menu

Hi!
Is there an easy way to create a PDF portfolio with a side menu using Acrobat X?
This was a feature in earlier versions. I am trying to make a large portfolio, and it is hard to navigate without some kind of menu.
Thanks,
Gregory

How do I create a pdf portfolio from multiple .msg email files including all attachments in a single step process?

I have tried creating the portfolio from Outlook directly, but only the first email is viewable in the portfolio including a hyperlink to the attachment (but the attachment is missing otherwise). This seems to be a setting issue, but I have had no luck with finding any setting options to change this.
I have also tried to create a portfolio from my desktop but when opening the portfolio, nothing shows up as if it didn't take the .msg files.
The obvious option of creating a pdf from each individual email and combining it with the pdf attachment would take forever and is unrealistic as the emails are in thousands.
Thanks for your time and help on this issue!

Hey Bob%20Sacks,
Could you please specify what version of Acrobat are you using.
You can go to Preferences under Adobe PDF option in the menu bar and choose 'Include all attachments' option under Attachments label.
Then, select the desired messages in Outlook and create a PDF portfolio by right-clicking and choosing Convert to Adobe PDF option from the context menu.
Now, open the portfolio and it will appear as shown in the screenshot below:
You can view all your files by clicking on the navigation arrows on the left-hand side.

Creating a PDF Portfolio is not working

Hi,
I'm trying to create a PDF portfolio of photographic images for a retouching portfolio. I click on file, create pdf protfolio, i add files, but then the screen is just black. I get a message that says 'to view the flash content upload flashplayer'. so i went to that page and discovered that I have the patest version of flashplayer and that is it up and running properly. Can someone help me with this. I have never worked in adobe acrobat before and am clueless. the tutorial on pdf protfolios was truly worthless and didnt even cover all of the steps I described above.

Split PDF portfolio, with a catch however

What I have:
One PDF portfolio containing multiple PDF files with a varying number of pages
What I am trying to achieve:
Split or disassemble the PDF portfolio into single PDF files (not into single pages!)
The problem:
I created the PDF portfolio using outlook to make a backup of an inbox. Therefore every PDF file that is in the portfolio is a PDF printout of an email. And this is where it becomes problematic for me as some emails had the the same subject. As a result there are numerous PDF files in the portfolio that have the same file name. This leads to a finder (or explorer, depending on the operating system,) conflict when I am using the export function of Acrobat Reader and I am only offered the two following choices: skip (the export of this file) or overwrite (the other PDF file with the same name). I am not offered to "keep both". As I have several portfolios of this type and each contain hundreds of emails the extent of this problem is too big to be fixed manually. I am therefore looking for an automated solution to this problem.
Tech Specs:
Software: Adobe Reader 11.0.10
Operating system: OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
I also have access to a PC running Windows 7.
Thank you!

Thank you @sukritd15 @CtDave!
I just finished activating my copy of Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro which I bought in the meantime. Unfortunately the problem persists.

Do you have any suggestions how I proceed from here?

Acrobat 9 PDF portfolios with the new version of Reader

We have a somewhat large PDF portfolio with a few hundred documents in it that was created with Acrobat 9 a few years ago. It worked great with Reader 9 and was fast, etc. Since the updates to Reader X and XI, the portfolio is sluggish and very slow to use. If I install Reader 9 back onto my system, it works great... The propblem is our IT department wont do this globally since they have identified security issues with Reader 9. Are there any fixes for this problem???

Make a PDF Portfolio with Chapters work on an iPad

Hi, I have created a PDF Portfolio document for iPad. I built the document in InDesign as a Digital Publication (iPad 768x1024,vertical only). The portfolio contains a number of chapters with each chapter containing a number of pages. I’ve built navigation hyperlinks into the PDF file in Acrobat DC. The PDF Portfolio file works perfectly on desktop computers and I am able to view all chapter and pages, but when I try to open it on an iPad I just get directed to ‘download Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later’. I’ve tried opening it on 3 different iPads that are all running the latest version of Acrobat DC Reader and get the same message every time.
I tried making a second version of the file without the combining the chapters into a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat DC, just running all of the pages together in a single file, with hyperlinks on the contents page and it works perfectly on the iPad. So how can I get it to work on an iPad as a Portfolio with Chapters, can you give me any advice?

Hi,
I presume that "chapters" are individual PDF documents that are contained in your PDF Portfolio.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS and Android) support the hyperlink to jump to a page view within the same PDF document or open a web page (http://... or https://...). Unfortunately, the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps do not support the hyperlink to open a different PDF document (regardless of whether it is included in a Portfolio or not).
Please note that most mobile PDF viewers for iOS and Android do not support Portfolios.
To make your PDF document compatible with any PDF viewers on desktop computers and mobile devices, I'd recommend the second version - "all of the pages together in a single file with hyperlinks".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

May be that the text fields are read-only.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

Acrobat XI on Win8.1 asks for Flash to create a Pdf Portfolio?

I've been running Acrobat X for a year or so and have created many pdf portfolios, but recently installed a trial version of Acrobat XI on my Windows 8.1 PC. I then tried to create a portfolio from scratch, selected the files and got a message "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat."
The Flash Installer link nor the ActiveX link will download for me and when I read further I find out that Win8.1 already includes Flash built in. I go to the Flash test page and it tells me I have the latest Flash version installed. I also do the Internet Explorer recommended checks (Shockwave, ActiveX filtering), all to no avail. I don't know what else to try? Any thoughts...

When I click on the “Plugin” and select “Save As” I try to save to my Desktop the File name: install_flash_player_exe. The yellow bar at the bottom immediately says “ install_flash_player_exe couldn’t be downloaded.” I try the “Retry” button multiple times to no avail. I then select the “View downloads” button and it shows that it only downloaded 254 bytes of said file from the site “fpdownload.macromedia.com” and the message “This file couldn’t be downloaded.”

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

Creating a PDF document with visible bookmarks

Hi.
I'm using VB to create a PDF document with bookmarks. I have no problem with this part.
What I want to do, though, is to program the document so that the bookmarks pane is visible when I open the document.
Any ideas?
All Best,
Ethan

I found the answer in the Interapplication Communication API Reference:
Dim SetPageMode as Boolean = PDDoc.SetPageMode(nPageMode),
where nPageMode has the possible values:
0: leave the view mode as is
1: display without bookmarks or thumbnails
2: display using thumbnails
3: display using bookmarks

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.
