Extracting files out a PDF portfolio
This is my situation: I made a portfolio with several documents, including PDFs, DOCs and CHMs. Everything works the way it supposed to for PDFs and DOCs, I can read them and extract them, but not with the CHMs. I can't neither view or extract them, when I try to extract them it says "Acrobat no puede abrir el archivo adjunto porque la configuracion de archivos adjuntos PDF no permite abrir este tipo de archivo" which is something like "Acrobat can not open the attached file because the configuration of PDF attached files doesn't allow to open this type of file". The files are stuck inside the portfolio and I really need them back. My two-part question is: Is there a way to extract those files? and if not, What kind of files can be safely saved inside a portfolio?
CHM is a compiled help package for Windows, and as such is treated as a compressed archive by Acrobat. Compressed files are not permitted as members of a PDF portfolio, so they cannot be opened or extracted unless you edit your registry to override the security settings for Acrobat - something we don't advise, but if you search these forums there are a couple of posts that show the keys to edit.

How to protect a pdf-file in a pdf-portfolio against extraction?
How to protect a pdf-file in a pdf-portfolio against extraction?
You can't.
Portfolios are just a single-page document with a bunch of attached files - the act of opening one of those attachments is identical to the act of "extracting" it into a new document, so blocking it would stop the Portfolio from working. -
Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?
Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.
I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc. -
Drag and Drop an Attached AutoCad File in a PDF Portfolio to and Open Drawing in AutoCad
I currently Printed all my Details to PDF and combined them all into a catalog to view them. I them attached all the AutoCad files to the PDF. I can open the AutoCad file in the pdf, but it will open it as a new drawing int AutoCad. I would like to Drag and drop from the PDF file to a drawing that is already opened in AutoCad. Any suggestions?
ThanksHello,
I think you posted this question in the wrong forum: this is one of the Captivate forums and I do not see a relation to it, but can be wrong.

Cannot open email attachments that are .msg files from a PDF portfolio
I have been creating
PDF portifolios comprised of emails and their attachments. When I open .xls, .doc, .txt, .html attached messages they open fine. when I try to open an attached .msg file, I get an error message that the file cannot be read or that it it damaged. please advise what I need to do to be able to open these files
thanksJohn, thanks for the suggestion. The messasge was created by outlook and is an email message. I brought it back into outlook and still cannot open it. I think it is more of an issue of the file not being converted properly by acrobat, but I can;t tell for sure.

Drag file OUT of portfolio onto another program
By default a user is able to drag a file out of a pdf portfolio onto their desktop or a folder. I'm wondering if it's possible to grant permission to drag the file out of the portfolio into a specified document. Is this possible? Where/how could I modify this permission? Specifically, I have image files that I want to drag out of the portfolio and into another pdf document.
I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
Good luck and let me know if this works. -
Dragging files out of portfolio
By default a user is able to drag a file out of a pdf portfolio onto their desktop or a folder. Permission to drag those items onto another document or program is restricted. I'm wondering if it's possible to grant permission to drag the file out of the portfolio into a specified document/program. Is this possible? Where/how could I modify this permission? Specifically, I have image files that I want to drag out of the portfolio and into another pdf document.
Hi,
I don't think you are going to have much luck with this task.
While you can drag out of a portfolio, it is generally just to Explorer. You can't drag a file into another PDF, using drag and drop. This functionality is not available within Acrobat.
In addition you will not be able to drag images from a portfolio or from Explorer into an image field in an XFA form.
Sorry,

Acrobat 9 Pro converting multimedia files in PDF Portfolio
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it says that it can convert multimedia files in a PDF portfolio
but when I try to convert wmv files in gives me a conversion error. The user's guide clearly outlines that this program can convert multimedia files - MOV, AVI and WMV files to PDF files within a PDF Portfolio. Am I missing something? Why won't this work?You have not indicated what version of AA9 or OS you have. The current version is 9.5.5. You can do updates from the Help menu usually. If that fails, download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, no Create PDF Protfolio option from File Create
Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, instructions say to load via> File, Create, Create PDF Portfolio, there is no option for Create PDF Portfolio in my Acrobat XI
(Actually, I think this question is about Adobe Acrobat, not CreatePDF.)
Do you have Acrobat Standard? If so, I think it is a mistake that you were offered this, as portfolios are a feature of Acrobat Pro. At least, that's what I remember. -
I keep getting the error message: Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.
I have a .exe file within a pdf portfolio. I have already changed the Trust settings, but it still wont open or extract this file type. Is there a fix for this?
Using Acrobat XHi,
I have Acrobat 9.5 on my machine and I am not able to see any problem in opening non PDF file attachments.
Please give the exact version of Acrobat you are using ( to see the version go to Help -> About Adobe Acrobat).
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e 9.5.
As you have mentioned that in Preferences-> Trust Manager-> Allow opening of non PDF file attachment with external applications is grayted out,
is it a custom installation of Acrobat ?? because in normal installation this option is not grayed out.
Thanks. -
Does Office Web Apps 2013 supports PDF Portfolio Documents
Hi Team,
Could you please let me know whether office web apps supports Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolios (Preview PDF portfolio files through OWA 2013 in SharePoint 2013).
Thanks!
Bharat
Thanks! Palani KHi Bharat,
Quote from the link you provided:
The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio. Depending on the circumstances,
PDF Portfolios offer several advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF.
Since the issue is related to third party product, I'd recommend you also contact their support engineer for more sufficient resource and assistance.
There is not many articles as I could find that talk about pdf portfolio in Office Web App, here is a similar thread:

Acrobat 9 PDF Portfolio - setting size of swf content area
Hi,
I added a swf file to a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and it works fine when the portfolio is opened in Reader 9, except that the swf content area is small. I want it to occupy the entire page. How/Where do I set this?
Thanks
VijayI've got this same problem. I add a SWF that's got a width and height of 792x612px. After using the Multimedia->Insert Flash tool the movie is resized to 320x240px and doesn't look right.
Does anyone have any wisdom or insights that can help me understand what I'm missing? I'd love to solve this problem and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info related to this functionality online.
Thanks,

The instructions given with this software download don't match the real options available to me "File\Create.......
Instructions:
To Install Your PDF Portfolio
To install a custom layout, select File > Create > PDF Portfolio. In the “Create PDF Portfolio” dialog box, click Import Custom Layout. Navigate to the custom layout file on your computer and select Open. Layout files have a .nav extension. The layout appears in the Portfolio Layouts list, where you can select it. Imported layouts are permanently added to the Custom Layouts section of the Portfolio Layouts panel.
There is no File\Create\Create PDF Portfolio"
how can I overcome this ?So you don't see this menu in Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Pro XI?

Adobe Acrobat XI: PDF Portfolios - Mouse Scroll Wheel Non-Functional
This is a companion question to the one I just posted about the preview window, and it's much simpler.
Put bluntly, the wheel on my mouse does not work when positioned over the list of files in a PDF portfolio. I know it's not a problem with the mouse, because the wheel does work when I use an older version of Acrobat at my office via a remote desktop connection.
Any solutions? Is this just something new I'm going to have to live with?
Cheers,
TomI can replicate the issue with the scroll wheel. If you click on a file within the portfolio you can use the arrow keys to navigate.
