How do I display PDF in 'book' or 'facing pages' mode?

I don't mean VIEW> PAGE DISPLAY > TWO-UP.
I've created a PDF document designed to be a book. I need the first page (the cover) to come up by itself, or with a blank on the left. Then all subsequent pages to display side by side, odd numbers on the right.
When I open the document in Acrobat Reader Pro it displays it just fine, automatically. But with Adobe Reader it displays page one first, on the left side, and page two on the right ... making the whole document out of sync. There is no blank on the left, nor does it display page one all by itself (as does 'Preview' in Mac).
The document is going out to a dozen people who are helping with the edit. It is imperative that they view it properly. They will all have different Readers. I'd like to recommend they all get Adobe Reader for now (as it is free and comes for both Windows and Mac). But I have to be able to tell them how to set the preferences to get a (BOOK MODE or FACING PAGES).
Any help would be most appreciated, thank you,
Ben

see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5979c/0
or you could insert a blank back cover and blank inside front cover page prior to the cover and page 1 respectively.

How to disable Display PDF in Browser in Adobe Reader XI?

I am having troubles with opening a report in PDF form from a web browser, and I'm trying to figure out how to disable opening a PDF in a browser in Reader XI. I tried disabling "Open in Read Mode" and "Allow Fast Web View" both individually and seperately, and none of those combinations did the trick.
Any suggestions/help are appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Lloyd6770
Try these steps. ( I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Internet Explorer 9, and Adobe XI )
1. Open Adobe XI
2. Click Edit
3. Click Accessibility
4. Click Setup Assistant
5. Click top radio button 'Set Options for Screen Readers'
6. Click Next
7. Do not change options on Screen 2 of 4, Click Next
8. Do not change options on Screen 3 of 4, Click Next
9. On screen 4 of 4, remove the check mark on ' Display PDF documents in the web browser '
NOTE: I checked Internet Explorer 9 / Tools / Manage add-ons and Adobe PDF Link Helper is still enabled in Internet Explorer 9.
PDF's will open in Adobe XI as you preferred and not in your brower.
Cheers!

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.

Acrobat Professional 8: How to create a PDF which will print most pages in A4, but some in A3?

I am very new to Acrobat Professional 8 - Can anyone tell me how to create a basic PDF document to print most pages in A4, but some in A3?
Currently my document is set up as a binder, do I need to set it up as a PDF package?
thanks.

Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
I will explain better my problem:
I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
Thank you very much!

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

How do I make a photo span two facing pages?

I'm doing a magazine layout in Pages '08 and have run into a problem I haven't been able to solve to my satisfaction. I want a photo (or any type of graphic) to be able to span across two facing pages. As soon as I drag the handles on the photo over past the center border between two facing pages, the part of the photo dragged to the second page disappears. I've tried bringing it to the front, duplicating the photo and placing one on one page and the second on the other, then nudging them together, but this is a really poor solution. Has anyone been able to place a photo across two facing pages? If so, how'd you do it?

Pages has never allowed an image to span a page gap. You can see how I've done it in this post.
If we expect this to change in any future versions of Pages, we need to leave feedback for the Pages team.

Baseline grid? How do you make type line up across facing pages?

I'm laying out a book in Pages, and I have it set up as 12.5-point type on 15-point line spacing, exactly. The margin at the top and bottom of both pages is 0.9 inches. There is a header and a footer set on each page at 0.4 inches. But occasionally, one page will have 32 lines of body type on it, and the facing page will have 31 lines. No change in type size or leading on either page.
When I saw in the Pages user manual that you could specify the line spacing "exactly," I thought that was the solution. But still, occasionally, I will get two facing pages do not line up exactly, one still has 32 lines and the other 31.
I thought, hmm, what if I change the leading to 14.9-point on the 31-line page just to see what happens. Weirdly enough, the spacing does tighten up, way more than enough to fit that 32nd line onto the page, but the type does not flow back in from the next page. It just leaves a bigger space there than before, and still 31 lines. I'm stumped.
Is there any kind of baseline grid feature in Pages that might cure this? I didn't see anything like that in the user manual, but could there be some kind of equivalent, or a workaround? (Well, besides using Quark or InDesign?) It would look so much better if it didn't have the occasional blank line at the bottom of a page.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks much, Walt and Peter, you were both right. I rethought my whole document layout, starting with the idea that I would put every line of 12-point body type on a 14-point slug. So I made the page length a multiple of 14-point lines. I also had some 16-point chapter titles that I formatted to be on 28-point slugs. I was not consistent enough in my chapter headline formatting before. And I tweaked my top and bottom margins so the length of the type area on the page would accommodate 37 lines of type. Once I had this setup, I was confident it would work. It did. For a while. Then I ran into a page that had only 36 lines, not 37. Hmmm. Yes, that's where unchecking the "prevent widow and orphan lines" box paid off. It allowed a line to flow back from the next page and fill in the 37th slug.
It doesn't have the elegance of setting up a baseline grid and locking the type to it, but it works. Thanks again for your assistance, guys.

How can I display PDF bookmarks on an iPad

I have a PDF file with nested bookmarks that display correctly on the laptop but not on an iPad. My end users use iPads and need to have access to the information on the bookmarks. Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for sending us your PDF document.
We opened your PDF document (pocTest.pdf) in Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.2.4. The nested bookmarks are displayed correctly.
Perhaps you and your end users have different expectations on how nested bookmarks appear in Reader. The user interface for Bookmarks in Reader for iOS is indeed different from the one in the desktop version of Reader.
Here are the screenshots of nested bookmarks for the other PDF document iPadUserGuide.pdf.
Initially, Reader for iOS displays the top level bookmarks only.
(Click the image above to enlarge.)
Tap the right arrow to go to the next level.
(Click the image above to enlarge.)
Tap the left arrow to go back to the previous level.
Tap each bookmark label (text) to jump to its corresponding page.
Please let us know if you have any other questions about nested bookmarks.

How Cost is displayed in planning book

Hi
Sources 4001,4002 and destinations 3001,3002,3003 & 3004,After SNP optimizer run,the following results are displayed
4001 to 3001 -------900MT is sourced from 4001 to 3001
4001 to 3003--------1000MT is sources from 4001 to 3003
How cost per MT is displayed along with quantities in the planning book after optimizer run
Thanks

After optimizer run the following allocation qty is displayed
4001 to 3001 -------900MT is sourced from 4001 to 3001
4001 to 3003--------1000MT is sources from 4001 to 3003
after optimizer run customer want Qty(900MT) & Cost per MT to be displayed for sourcing from 4001 to 3001(Refer above scenario)
as you said if its not possible after optimizer run is it possible to develop a customized report based on optimizer results displaying Qty(900MT) & cost incurred per MT
Cost per MT(For sourcing from Qty(900MT) from 4001 to 3001)=procurement cost per MT+transportation cost per MT
Thanks

How can I display pdf file details on 64-bit Windows 7 detail view?

I'd like to display some pdf file details in order to classify them by author, title, subject... This option was simply possible for pdf file on windows xp (just by selecting the desired details on detail view when exploring folders) but it seems to be impossible for windows 7 (It's possible for other file like *.jpg, mp3...). Is there a program or a plugin to solve this problem? Thank you very much.

It would appear, very annoyingly, that Acrobat is still lagging in the x64 department! It will, at the moment, only run as an x86 sub.....
