Adding definitions to Specific Words within a PDF file

I have a client who wants me to add definitions to Glossary words throughout a PDF file. They want it to look like a "roll over" or when you click on the glossary word a definition pops up. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat 9 or it can't be done?

You can achieve this with one of my custom-made tools:

If you set the comment color to "Transparent", it will act just like a pop-up that shows when you hover with the mouse over the text.

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
End If
Set PDFApp = Nothing
Set PDFDoc = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Show the adobe application
PDFApp.Show
'Set the focus to adobe acrobat pro
AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
End Sub

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Editing a word in a PDF file

When I change or delete a word in a PDF file, it messes up the format of the paragraph - letters get moved to other words, etc. How can this be avoided?

Of course salesmen won't say this, but the remarkable thing about PDF editing is that you can do it at all to something so unsuited. But it's painful and a desperate last resort for when there is no original, it was lost, cannot be purchased, and all backups were eaten by termites.
It is definitely not a solution for collaborative editing. You should have the same software as the graphic artist, or they should make the changes - as they did.

I'm having a problem saving a pages document as another format, like a Word document or PDF file. I've never had this problem in the past. Please help me! I need to have this fixed a.s.a.p.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently having a problem saving a Pages document as another format, such as a Word document or PDF file. I've never had this problem before with Pages. Please help me! I need to have this completed a.s.a.p.

To save as a PDF, you do that from Print
To save as Wrod format, you export

How to count words in a PDF file?

Is there any way I can count words in a PDF file without resorting to Acrobat Reader (which apparently has that feature)?
That's a massive program, which I actually don't like.
I need to count words in the PDF file because I write my papers with LaTeX, and they're full of my extensive comments.
Do you know of any alternative?

that utility IIRC cannot be found on xpdf (the official Archlinux package) anymore and its part of poppler
edit: its pdftotext btw

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

How do I import my edge animation in indesign so that it can play within a PDF file

how do I import my edge animation in indesign so that it can play within a PDF file??
Plz help.

Hi there,
Have you tried reading this tutorial on exporting Edge Animate files to be used in InDesign?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing-your-dps-folios-with -edge-animations.edu.html
Edge Animate files can be played in DPS folios. PDFs are not capable of playing Edge Animate files at this time. I did find a work around to get SWF files to play in PDF documents:

How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?

Hi,
How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?
Will be great if you can refer to any adobe provided command base utility to achieve the above target.
Best Regards,

You can't. The commandline parameters for Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not allow any type of commands to be run.

Html link to a named anchor within a PDF file?

So, I want a link on a web page to hop to a specific part of
a pdf file.
Same thing as using named anchors really. The issue I see
here is that the
web pag (link) has no real notion of pdf's implementation of
anchors, so how
could it know to utilise them?
I assume this is not possible, but need to make sure.
Thanks.

It is possible. You can link to a page in any pdf document,
or link to a 'Named Destination'

How do I add a note or highlight a word in a pdf file in iBooks?

How do I add a note or highlight a word in a pdf file in iBooks?
iBooks version 3.1 on iPad 4 running iOS 6.1.3.

That functionality in iBooks is limted to ebook files and is not available for standard PDFs. Try Adobe Reader.

Why am I seeing italicized words in a pdf file in bold type?

In my iPad2 why do I see italicized words in a pdf file in bold type?

I think it cannot be that the way of transport to the iPad (Dropbox) is causing this, or does it happen only when transferred through Dropbox?.
The only thing that comes to mind is that a particular font is not in the iPad and then replaced by a default and not displayed as expected.
The PDF's come from the same computer everytime? PC or Mac? Which program?
With which app do you read the PDF's in the iPad (iBooks, PDFreader, Goodreader, or..?). If you have several readers: do all display this phenomenon?
