How to create interactive PDF in Acrobat Pro 11 from Indesign 6 on a Mac and keep all interactivity?

I've seen much discussion on this topic or issue.
I have a 175 page doucment that needs an active TOC, urls that link, buttons that "go back to TOC" on each page and "to next page - to previous page". You can only see the functions properly in Acrobat Reader.
What's up with that? That doesn't work for my deverse client base.
Is it because this was a file originally created in ID 5? I ask because I have since created a new file, exactly the same way with the same interactive attributes as the file that doesn't work and it works fine.
Is my file too many pages for Acrobat to handle?
Please help, my contract depends on this file working.

What you're asking for is perfectly achievable, but it won't work universally. The page count is immaterial.
Table of Contents entries created in InDesign are automatically converted into links when exported to PDF, provided the hyperlinks option on the PDF export dialog has been checked. They should work fine in any desktop software.
Buttons which link to a fixed page and 'next page/previous page' buttons created in InDesign will use a link method that requires JavaScript - this is fully-supported in the Acrobat Family on desktop platforms, but third-party renderers such as Firefox's internal viewer, and mobile PDF apps, have little or no support for scripting.

How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 prof which came bundled with ScanSnap.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I have been trying to 'Create pdf from file'.
Adobe won't load an RTF file, a Pages file or a Word file.
It tells me to use the source application and print with Adobe PDF. When I try to do this I get the message
Printer Ready
You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
I have tried software update but Apple has not supplied an update for the Adobe printer.
SO, what software do I need and where do I find it, to make Acrobat usable?

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

When creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro it seems to change my reference numbering system???

I am trying to create a PDF file using Acrobat Pro trial version (before I buy it I need to know if it works for me). The file I am using is a condensed version of a report so it has some of the tables/figures omitted and therefore the numbering sequence isn't sequential ie. it can jump from Figure 9-2 to 9-4. For some reason - when creating the PDF - the program is CHANGING the numbering system of the original file in the body of the document - but the Table of Contents keeps it how I had it. HELP??!!! How do I make it just create the PDF exactly how it is in the Word document file without automatically making any changes like that to it?!
I have tried several ways to create the PDF - in Word - I tried doing it as a Print command, also in Word I tried doing it from there, also I tried creating it from a file right in Acrobat Pro. I also tried "protecting" the document first - but this didn't work either.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Creating a PDF with a watermark from InDesign CS3

Hello,
I have a question on exporting or printing a PDF file that will have a watermark.
What I'm wanting to do is take a InDesign file (and/or Quark file) and export/print a PDF file that will be in low res and have a watermark placed on it. (for a "Review" copy)
I am aware that I can place a watermark on a PDF file with Acrobat Pro, but it seems like I need to make the PDF file first then place the watermark. I am wanting to do this in the exporting/printing step all at the same time.
Thank you any information.
Scott Isbrecht

OK, maybe I need to reword the question.
I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I am wanting to take a file/book that is in Indesign/or Quarkxpress and make a PDF file that is in a lower quality/resolution that also has a watermark "review stamp" on at least the front cover, if not on every page. (would like it on every page)
If there is not a way to export a PDF file out of InDesign or Quarkxpress this way, can it be done by printing a .PS (postscript) file and have Distiller create the PDF file?
I would like to keep the InDesign/Quark file "As Is" in a final print ready format, and be able to produce a smaller "review" PDF with a watermark on each page of the PDF file. (watermark on cover page only would be OK)
This way there is no chance of this file making its way to a full scale printer and it being printed with a low quality PDF (review copy).
Any information would help out.
Thanks,

Cannot install Acrobat Pro from Cs4Web Premium. Mac osx lion

I have had a problem for a while that although the updater keeps announcing an update and allows its download it will not update saying that Acrobat Pro needs re installing.
I have tried to reinstall several times but each time the install hangs on "Preparing to install".
Today I bit the bullet and uninstalled Acrobat Pro to try and resolve the problem and I still, after numerous attempts, get the installation hanging up at "Preparing to install".
I have repaired disk permissions and no change.
The disk image I am using, fully paid CS4 Web Premium, was downloaded today.
I need Acrobat Pro to function on a daily basis and any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you for your time
Will

I am having the same problem as Willwinch, and it is increasingly upsetting me. My Acrobat Pro 9 was running perfectly fine until a HD failure. I installed and restored my files from a time machine backup and right away received a "Suite Product Activation Needed" error message. After chatting with Adobe customer support, I was advised to ininstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro. Fine, did that only to get an error that said "Licensing for this product has stopped working.". More customer support chatting indicated that the activation process for Acrobat Pro 9 is not supported with Lion. That is worth repeating, the ACTIVATION process is not supported. They said nothing about the actual software as much as I tried to get the "support" to clarify.
To make things more frustrating, my only option to get Acrobat Pro would be to upgrade to version X... Which I do not care to do. I paid $2600 for the Master Collection 16 months ago and I was hoping I could have functioning software a little longer than that. To make things EVEN MORE frustrating, because I bought the suite, I can only upgrade to the CS6 suite. Not only do I not care for Acrobat Pro X, I don't care for the entire suite at the moment. I am comfortable with CS5.
There has got to be some license file I can access and copy over or some other method of activation that will allow me to use my legitimte paid-for software that obviously works. I teach at a university and for years I have been a strong advocate of not pirating software to my students for a bunch of reasons. One of those reasons was "You will be glad you did when you need support". It is sad that is not true. I am not about to start pirating Adobe software, but I sure am going to be less likely to advocate against it from now on.
EDIT: This gets awesomer. I finally called a sales rep and he said I could upgrade to just Acrobat Pro X rather than having to upgrade the entire suite... which is sort of a consolation prize since I was hoping to get Acrobat Pro 9 working as it was. However, there was a little emailing and account snafu which resulted in Adobe charging my card twice AND me getting locked out of my Adobe account. Now I get to wait 5 to seven days for $199 of the $398 I was charged today to be refunded. It is amazing how easy money flows into Adobe and how difficult "service" and "product" are to get out. The sales rep was at least friendly and not condesending as the tech help was earlier.

How do i add media to my iphone from another computer without syncing and deleting all the info currently on it

My iphone was synced to my old computer
How do i add content to my phone from my new computer. It says i can only be synced with one computer and it will delete everything on my phone to sync with the new computer.
This doesn't make much sense. What am i missing?

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

How can I open pdfs with Acrobat directly from Firefox (Android)?

I would like to open pdfs directly with the Acrobat reader app, without downloading it (& saving it in the downloads folder). When I open a pdf, FF offers me several apps or a download, but not the Acrobat Reader, also Acrobat it mentioned as the standard application for opening pdfs.

The file must be downloaded for Adobe reader to be able to display the file. There is no way to display any file without downloading it.

How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

Hello all
I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
So here's the question(s):
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

**boojum**
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
No.
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
Try using Firewire target mode.

How do you transfer Picasa for PC to IPhoto or Picasa for MAC and keep edits?

I have thousands of photos on my PC and would like to get them onto my IMac in an edited form. When I try to import to IPhoto, I get duplicates. I am unable to export from Picasa for PC and import into Picas for MAC, as it is grayed out.

What duplicates do you get if you import to iPhoto? What are you importing, where from?
I'm afraid for help with Picasa you're best to go to Google's forums. They folks who know that app best will be there.

How do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat 9

how do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat Pro 9?

Master your content in a text editor (Notepad), a word processor (Word), a page layout application (InDesign) or some application that you do a "File | Print" with. Print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with the install of Acrobat (any version). You'll have a seachable PDF. If a PDF has page content that is the image of text (the output of a scanner) use Acrobat's OCR feature to obtain searchable content.
Be well...
