Acrobat XI pdf portfolio not working

My download of Acrobat XI from Creative Cloud does not seem to be fully functional.  I want to create a pdf portfolio and after I add some pdf files and click create, it tells me I need to download a version of Flash Player which supports Adobe (R) and Acrobat (R).  The link this message provides "Proceed to download page" does not work.  The window in Acrobat XI Pro becomes totally black and I can't create the portfolio.  I downloaded the latest Flash Player separately and tried again but the same thing happens.  I read somewhere that I might need an earlier version of Flash Player - can some one please advise the best course of action here?

The recent update to Acrobat X Professional also breaks the ability to view PDF Portfolios. It wants me to install Flash, despite it already being on my machine. Funnily enough, this update removed Flash from within Acrobat instead using Flash that is already installed on the machine.

  • Acrobat 9 pdf links not working from InDesign CS3. What is wrong?

    My links are working in my 40 page Indesign CS3 file using Mac. After I convert to a .pdf, some of the links are no longer going to the right location. They have either duplicated other links, or trying to take me incorrectly to my desktop or network. Can't figure out what is wrong.

    Links meant to  go to an outside website are supposed to be filled out in the following format : http://www.phillipmjones.net
    in Acrobat should look something like :  This is my personal website
    In Acrobat go go create you link then click on action:
    (I'm using my own personal website as an example)
    If you choose something else such as open a file then that is what it does.

  • How do I open the Special Edition Acrobat X PDF Portfolio themes?

    I chose these themes as my complimentary benefit when I installed Acrobat X, and downloaded the ZIP file to my hard drive without incident.  I then extracted the files within the ZIP file.  However, when I open Acrobat, and attempt to import the four themes, my browser won't recognize that the files are there - and I have no option to search for "All Files" or otherwise change the three-letter extension.
    Am I going about this the wrong way?
    Tom

    In Acrobat X PDF Portfolios there are two levels of "templates" to customize the style of the document interface.
    A Layout (internally called a "navigator") has the file extension .NAV and controls the layout of the Portfolio, the way the cards animate, where the scrollers are, and so forth. Layouts are written in Flex.
    A Theme is a SWF file "skin" which is applied over the top of a Navigator - this is what's in the Special Edition pack. Standalone Themes are usually drawn in Flash Pro or Illustrator, and contain no code. They're simply a collection of graphics with pre-defined symbol names.
    To apply a Theme, create/open a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro, and from the Edit Pane, choose Visual Themes -> Import Custom Theme, and select the SWF. It will be embedded into the PDF Portfolio, but won't be permanently-added to the Acrobat panes. Themes can be applied to almost any Layout, but each time you change the Layout your theme will be reset.
    There's a detailed video explaining how all these things work on AUC.

  • Acrobat 7.0 does not work with lion

    Acrobat X Pro is the only version Adobe states works with Lion. You'll have to upgrade.

  • PDF hyperlinks not working on app

    I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
    So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
    Thanks.

    You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

  • Acrobat Pro X PDF previewing not working in Windows 7 64-bit

    Greetings, all,
    The organization I work for recently purchased a volume license for Acrobat Pro X.  We uninstalled Adobe Reader from all of our machines and installed Acrobat Pro X on them.  After the move, the PDF preview handler stopped working.  People commonly link to the URL below, but it has not worked for us.  It appears it only works for the PDF preview handler packaged with Adobe Reader, not the one packaged with Acrobat Pro.
    http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html
    Users are unable to preview PDFs in Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.  When attempting to preview in Windows Explorer, the following appears:
       This file can't be previewed.
    What can we do to get the preview handler working in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64-bit) and Office Outlook 2007?
    Thanks in advance!

     OK. Then do you mean the thumbnails in Windows Explorer? I don't have a solution for that, but there have been several posts about the issue.
    Well, thumbnails in Explorer don't work either, but we're not concerned about it.  The preview pane is what we're worried about.  There is a button in the top-right that turns the pane on.  Previewing in Outlook does not work either.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro: Create PDF Portfolio not previewing Word docs

    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Word documents won't preview on an Adobe PDF Portfolio, while other Office documents (Excel, PowerPoint, etc) will. It only shows a Word icon on the preview and you have to double-click the file to open it on actual word. This is not the way Acrobat is supposed to behave.
    NOTE: Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 (latest version) and Office 2010 Suite w/ SP1 installed.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create a PDF Portfolio
    2. Add Word (.doc, .docx) files to the Portfolio
    3. Click on Preview and you will see a Word icon instead of a thumbnail preview.
    Results:
    You will see a word icon
    Expected results:
    A thumbnail preview of the document like it happens with Excel, PowerPoint, etc...
    Can you guys reproduce this error? What do you think?

    Here is what I am talking about...
    Those files should be previewed and not just display a thumbnail with a Word icon.

  • Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

         Ever since I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker has not worked, but instead causes MS Word 2013 to crash. I cannot find the cause or the solution.

    OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
    The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
    File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
    When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
    If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine.  If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
    In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button.  That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
    The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
    Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
    Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
    Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

  • Acrobat PDF Portfolio - Not Saving my Welcome Page or Header

    For some reason, I can't get my Welcome Page or Header to save when I'm creating a PDF Portfolio. 
    What am I missing? It shows up fine when I create it but then I save and close and reopen and they aren't there...
    Please Help!

    You don't mention a version, but this may be a known issue if you are in 9.4. Take a look at the thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/793948 and see if the situation you are experiencing sounds similar and if the work around posted by Josh_Corey (toward the bottom of the thread, posted Jan 31, 2011) resolves the problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI: PDF Portfolios - Nonfunctional Preview Window

    Good afternoon, all.
    I'm running AA XI Pro on a Dell Inspiron 1764 laptop. Win7/64-bit platform.
    My question focuses on the creation and viewing of PDF portfolios created from converted email.
    The conversion itself seems to work fine. I select the desired email(s) in Outlook 2013, give the "create" or "append" command (depending on whether the target portfolio is a new or existing one), and the portfolio is created. However, when the portfolio window first opens, it does not give me a list of all the emails I have combined into that file. It shows only a blank screen, with a preview opened at the bottom of my screen for one of the email messages. When I click on either the "Layout" or "Files" button (at the top of the screen), it does finally show the running list of individual emails that have been merged into the portfolio. But then the preview window does not change to reflect the different, individual emails on which I am single-clicking above. It just stays frozen on the default email preview it selected when I first created/opened the portfolio file.
    As I continue navigating around the portfolio, the problem will occasionally relent ... but only a little. And it's utterly arbitrary. Sometimes a single-click on one of the listed emails above will generate a preview window below. Sometimes it won't. Sometimes the individual email that worked just moments ago won't give the same preview when I click on it again.
    What on earth is the deal with that? I've never seen this before, and I've worked with PDF portfolios since Adobe first engineered them.
    Regards,
    Tom

    Tom, I just tried and can't seem to duplicate your issue at all. It sounds like a resource issue with the computer, have you tried to open the portfolio with just Acrobat running? How much ram do you have?
    Are you able to open the portfolio on another computer without issues?
    I also have been using portfolios regularly for years, including with Outlook, and haven't run across the problem you describe.
