Making Markings in .PDF File

I'm playing a cool game. It's an old RPG-type game that uses the manual, which I have in .PDF.
In that .PDF, there's, like, a list of quests and stuff. I'd like to be able to check stuff off on the page of the book in the .PDF. You know, as if using a virtual pencil or pen. So how can I do something like this? I'm using Adobe Reader v9.2 on an offline computer.
On a side note: I've tried selecting the text from whatever quest I wanted to mark-off to Copy & Paste to, say, Notepad as a .TXT file. That didn't work either as I can't seem to select lines of text in this particular .PDF. But then I put a selection box around the same paragraph of text. I tried saving it and it saved as a "Scrap". But the Scrap was just a copy of the entire .PDF except taking up more HD space and having a different icon. I don't get it! :/ ???
Please help! :O

Is there any way to edit the .PDF? I guess making checkmarks would count as an edit....

With Reader, no. Nothing else you can do.
There "may" be a different PDF viewer out there that will work (you can try Google) but even that would greatly depend on how the PDF was created. If it's just a bunch of scans (populer thing for old user manuals), even third party viewers may not have any options.

Making an Accessible PDF file from MS PPT

I have a MS PPT file that I've converted to a PDF file. When I run the "Make Accessible" from the Action Wizard some of the tags disappear for the slides that contain only an image even though I've added alt text to the image. When I preview the file using the Touch Up Reading Order the graphic on the slide will show that it is a figure with alt text but after I run the Action Wizard and view the slide again in the Reading Order there is nothing there and the tag for that slide is gone so it is completely skipped.
Is it safe to assume that running the Make Accessible on a PDF file created from a PPT is just not going to work?

I'm using PPT 2010 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I'm using the "Create PDF" feature from the Acrobat ribbon in PPT with a modified settings that I've created for all of the PDF files I make. I'm convinced that this has something to do with PPT and Adobe since I don't have any problems using the Action Wizard with PDF files converted from Word. In fact I took the problem images from PPT and copied them into a Word file, converted to PDF and ran the action wizard and had no problems with the tags disappearing from the images. I think we're going to publish the PPT version online with a PDF companion. I can't spend any more time on this. Thank you.

Making an interactive pdf file

Hi,
We are making a survey and want to convert a word file to pdf, so we can email it out and people can write their answers in and send it back. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks for any help.

Hello there,
Thanks for posting. It is certainly possible to use Acrobat.com to convert your Word files to PDF. However, if you would like to create a form that can be filled out on a recipient's computer (that is, without printing it and filling it out by hand), you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Pro desktop software. Once you've created your form from your Word file, you can then distribute it from Acrobat using Acrobat.com to send the form to recipients and to collect responses.
If you're on a Windows machine, you can find a free 30-day trail of Acrobat Pro 9 right here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html
(Unfortunately, there is no trial available for Mac at this time.)
I also encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for future updates to the Acrobat.com service, as we are currently planning many exciting changes for the coming months. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Best regards,
Rebecca

Problems making High Quality PDF file

I am working on an identity project and the pdfs keep coming out with the type looking thicker in areas .
also placed logos (vector art) are appearing Odd for example- the letter"i" in the corporate logo appears thicker on screen and in general the type is not at all crisp.
I actually was speaking to a adobe tech person who said she was going to get back to me about this problem and has not (over 2 weeks now)
I am desperate at this point to make a good quality pdf that will look like it will print
Any sure fire suggestions?

Not sure what you mean by that I am on my own system (not working on the cloud))
How do I fix?
Only on your own system.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

Making Preview the Default App for .pdf Files

When I click on a .pdf file (such as one attached to an e-mail) it now opens in Acrobat Reader; it formerly opened in Preview (which I preferred). I don't recall making any changes and wondered if the "Preview as default" was changed in the recent OSX update. Can I set a preference somewhere to again have .pdf docs opened in Preview?

Hello,
To open a document with a specific application:
In the Finder, select the document and choose File > Get Info.
In the Info window, click to show the "Open with" pane.
Choose the application you want to use from the pop-up menu.
If you want ALL documents that have the same file type as this one to open with the same application, click Change All.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat. Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default. From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro making .log files instead of .pdf files

I just uninstalled Acrobat 9 from one computer and installed it on my new one. Now when I try to create a .pdf, it's creating a .log file instead. I have tried uninstalling again and installng it. Also, there is NOT a pdf hiding somewhere else. The program worked before on my other computer.

If you are receiving a .log file, it typically means that an error has occurred during the creation of the PDF file from a PostScript or EPS file via the Distiller. Open up the .log file in NotePad (assuming you are on Windows) and see what it says! Likely, the problem is that you new system is missing some fonts from your old system.

Inserting a PDF file and making it a hyper link

I created a news letter in pages and converted it to a PDF file, I want to place the PDF file onto my website and make it a hyperlink so when it is clicked on it will open preveiw or adobe acrobat reader (on reg pc) When I drag the PDF file it opens an post the full page. Can it be done and how?
Thanks

The iWeb way is to use "Link to File".
Your PDF will upload and viewers can click a link to download it.
You can also use an image as a placeholder for your Link to File download instead of using a text description.

Error in making Adobe PDF Files.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and Office Ultimate 2007. When I'm publishing PDF files from ms office, it does nothing and when I make PDF from file using the Acrobat application, these dialog boxes appear:
http://jdash007.googlepages.com/adobe1.jpg
http://jdash007.googlepages.com/adobe2.jpg
http://jdash007.googlepages.com/adobe3.jpg
But when I make PDF files from XPS files, they are successfully published.
What could be the cause of these problems and how can I solve it?

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer and report the results.
If the printing fails, check print-to-file and then open that file in Distiller to complete the conversion.
If the latter works, you likely disabled AcroTray that must be running in the background for the PDF printing and PDF Maker to work.

Flatten (Reduce Sixe of PDF + Making it Read Only) PDF files - Designed in Adobe Livecycle

We have created PDF forms using Adobe Livecycle Designer. The forms looks good after being designd and printed.
We wanted to Flattend the PDF file that was developed in Designer. We used a Process orchestration in Forms ES Process module to flat the files.
Some PDF file are getting flattend correctly as we see the Original document.
Some of the PDF gets Distorted as the fonts of some of the paragraghs and text on the PDF forms becomes biggers during thee flattening process and the Flattended PDF output is not as the Original form. Please suggest what is the solution or what is happening?
Thanks,
Siva.

Thats my definition too.
Then my guess is that the font that is being used is not available on the server and as such a substitute font is being used which is different enough from the original to mess things up.

Making .pdf files downloadable

How do I make .pdf files downloadable in my iWeb page?
I have several .pdf files on my desktop that I'd like to make available to visitors to my iWebsite for download. Please forgive me if this is "intuitively obvious." I am new to the forum and am also navigationally clumsy until I use it a while.

You either need to Zip or Compress, as it is in 10.5 and then in iWeb click on Inspector and then Hyperlink and just create a hyperlink to a file. One someone clicks the link, it will then be downloaded as a Zip file containing the pdf.
