PDF Extended Features in Mac version

I recently made an interactive flyer for a silent to distribute to their channel partners. The flyer had locked art and text formatting, and a text area that is editable in Reader for the Partners to target their sales pitch. Everything went smoothly until I needed to provide a spot for Partners (using Reader) to drop in their own logo. NOT available on Mac version of 9 Pro, but I was able to do it on my friend's PC (because Acrobat Pro windows ships with tools from Livecycle). Anyone a plug in that may allow me to do this on a Mac, OR will Acrobat X include this very important feature for Mac platform?

YES I used an Image Field so that Reader Users could add their distributor
logo to the mfg branding. But there is no tool to create an Image Field in
Pro 9 Mac, only on the PC version. I'm looking for this capability in A-X(?)
or a plug in for Mac document creation.

  • Shocked by lack of features on Mac version compared to Windows. Why?

    Just downloaded Premiere elements 11 and shocked to find that the full set of features are not supported on the mac version, most notably the chroma, green and blue keying effects/ filters. Why is this?? I use a mac not as a fashion statement, but because they are the industry standard for creative businesses. ALL photographic, graphic design, editing etc suites use macs, so why give these features to windows and NOT macs? Makes absolutely no sense at all and I am shocked not to mention disappointed!!

    There are differences between the Mac and PC platform, and not just with Premiere Elements, but also Premiere Pro. The PC gets more Effects, and Transitions. This was first noted in Premiere Pro CS 3, when it was ported to the Mac. Before, with Premiere Pro 1.0, through CS 2/verson 2.0, the program was PC-only. When PrPro CS 3 was introduced, the Mac-users took note that their PC friends got more than they did.
    At that time, there were many posts to the PrPro Forum, regarding the differences. Adobe engineers commented on the differences between how the two platforms handled some aspects of the program - and mainly display functions. This list of Effects & Transitions in CS 3, for Mac and PC, will show what was different between those two platforms: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/460313?tstart=1470 [Note: this was for PrPro, and it has/had many differences, from PrE, so this is not a clear difference chart between PrE for the Mac and the PC, but you can get the idea. It is for background reference use only.]
    Something similar happened, when PrPro went from CS 4 to CS 5, which was a 64-bit program ONLY. A lot of Effects and such were lost in the new version, and some were "old stand-bys" for users of the earlier program. In time, a few DID show up in later versions of PrPro, but not all. Some were 32-bit only, and Adobe deemed it too expensive to port all of them to 64-bit, so they were just dropped, and have never reappeared. The same thing happened with many 3rd party plug-ins. Once, they were all 32-bit, and that worked up until CS 5. Most suppliers then went back to the lab, and recoded their plug-ins for 64-bit, but not all. Some just dropped their support for PrPro.
    While this does not help you get your job done (ATR's blog post will, however, and that was also why I suggested other Effects for Keying), it shows that PrE is not alone with the differences between platforms.
    Good luck and happy editing,

  • Qucktime Pro for Windows lacks same features as Mac Version!?

    I am very dissatified to learn (after purchasing) that QT Pro for windows does NOT have a Video Capture Feature.
    The reps at Apple tech support all told me the program was exactly the same as the Mac version. So I purchased it only to discover no Video Capture option, only Audio.
    I am writing on this forum:
    A) to let others know that this is not a bug,
    B) to let Apple become aware so that their own employees understand their products better.
    C) to help Apple realize that they need to change their website (as it just glosses over this issue with vague feature descriptions on the windows version of the QT Pro site and also in hopes that Apple will change its decisions to disable Windows versions in order to allow their Apple version to be slightly better for marketing reasons... there can be no reason why simple Video Capture (at least thru DV) shouldnt be in the software on the Win version and
    D) to ask if anyone knows of any 3rd party plugins that will allow for Video Capture thru QT Pro.
    (so far my 2 previous posts were deleted... so I dont expect too much here, but I am trying to be constructive with my criticism. Apple please help!?)
    (copying this message to tech support and Apple product management in case it is deleted, they will be also notified of that)
    thanks for any help, I'm sorry it has come to this...
    Anyone know of a plugin?

    thanks for finally answering. Even if you deleted the previous post, you could have emailed me about the issue. Instead it just disappeared.
    I'm not an Apple employee. We're all just your fellow users here. I just know a complaint post when I see one.
    So Why does the windows version "lack the support architecture
    Only the QuickTime project engineers could answer that.
    in the Mac version, it does say Video and Audio capture, and on the Win version, it says "Video and Audio Creation features" and it also lists Audio Capture... But dont you think it shoudl list somewhere "VIDEO CAPTURE FEATURE ala the Mac version is NOT INCLUDED". Why be vague about it?
    It's not vague to me. If a feature isn't listed, I don't presume that it exists. But again, if you want to comment on this to Apple, use the Feedback page I gave in my previous post.
    even tho you say there is no way a plugin would work, I did find a Java based plugin that is supposed to work... havent installed it yet.
    I presume you're referring to QuickTime Capture. That's not a true QuickTime plugin, it's an applet, but we'd be getting into semantics, so I won't belabor the point. If that is indeed the Java applet you're referring to, it seems to be a frame-by-frame grabber, not a true video importer, so I'm not sure it's going to work for you. But of course there's no harm in trying it; it might do the job for you. If not, there are a lot of Windows video import utilities available (including the free Microsoft Movie Maker).

  • Converting PDF to Word for Mac version 14

    I subscribed to PDF Export and tested it by converting a Word for Mac doc to a PDF and then opening same in Word. My font was Palatino regular. It opened alright, but
    Calibri was substituted for Palatino. How can I change this.

    I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
    By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)

  • Preserving PDF version after Save during "Extend Features in Reader"

    Hi,
    I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm attempting to make a fillable form that needs to be compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4) . I can make the form, but when I extend features in reader, the copy it saves is PDF v1.6 (Acrobat 7). Is there any way to maintain the PDF version when doing this, or is this not possible with V1.4 PDFs?
    Thanks.

    "Reader enabling" was introduced with version 1.5 (Acrobat 6).
    Be well...

  • Reader Extended Features not available in downloaded PDF

    I've posted a form on my website with Reader Extended Features enabled so it can be "Ink Signed". Finding that the extended features are not available in browser Reader plugins, I created a link to the PDF with PHP that allows it to be downloaded, then opened with the standalone version of Reader, but still get the message "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." If I open my original local copy of the PDF it still has Extended Features enabled. What's changing in the downloaded copy?
    Created in Acrobat Pro 9, opened in Reader 9.3.4
    Thanks for any insight.

    Bernd--thanks for your interest. I found that the problem was the PHP script that I was using to force the PDF to download instead of open in the browser plugin. I used several variations of the script with the same results--seemed to be altering the contents of the PDF which cancelled the Reader Extended Features. A solution that I found was to add
    <FilesMatch "\.(pdf)$">
      ForceType application/octet-stream
      Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>
    to the .htaccess file. Since I only wanted one PDF (not all of them on the site) to be affected, I put it and the .htaccess file in a subdirectory and linked to it there. The PDF now downloads with Reader Extended Features intact.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

  • PDF does not display when extended features is enabled.

    I have serval PDFs that I created in Adobe Acrobat. I can save them with extended features enabled. When customers view these PDF's they do not see any of the information filled in. If I take the extended features off they are able to view. I need to have these features enabled so that my sales staff can fill out forms and send to customers. Any idea on how to get around this? New app?

    If Adobe's own product won't do it, I doubt you'll find anything else that will, unfortunately. Still, maybe someone here has tried one of the seemingly unending stream of PDF and file readers in the app store that will.
    Good luck.

  • How to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

    Have a PDF I created wit
    h Livecycle.  I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
    bled?  Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

    I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
    I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9.  When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode.  Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

  • Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

    Hi Tarek
    Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
    With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
    I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
    My Workflow as follows
    1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
    2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
    3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
    4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
    5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
    6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
    7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
    8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
    9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple  and free ADOBE READER.
    That's it !!
    could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance
    Ajo Joseph

    iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
    To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
    Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
    Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

  • Merged pdf with "extend features in adobe reader" rights

    Hi all,
    I would like to merge a pdf file into my basic pdf form with "extend features in adobe reader" rights but I would like to keep my basic form without those rights.
    My problem is that when I try to open my basic form and link to my merged attachement file, the merged file becomes not modifiable even with "extend features in adobe reader" rights turned on.
    Any suggestion to solve my problem?
    Thx in advance for your help

    Not possible with Adobe Acrobat. You may check this product:

  • Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac.  I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message.  I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared.  The only version saved has only my first comment.  Does Adobe

    Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac.  I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message.  I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared.  The only version saved has only my first comment.  Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work?  Is there any other way to recover it?  Thanks!

    Hi @Pat Willener,
    since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
    A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
    Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!
