Attaching files to a PDF file via program

Dear all,
I discovered something new for me, and perhaps there is someone else there who can profit from it :-).
in order to include attachment files as additional pages to a PDF file (frequent requirement for finance documents since the introduction of SOX compliance), you only have to append the internal tables containing the OTF before you convert it to PDF (no additional formatting or taking account of OTF file structure is required!!).
Cheers,
Ana

Hi Graffiti
Collaboratively some co workers and I figured out a roundabout way to attach files in adobe reader (not the full blow adobe acrobat reader). 
Via Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I created a blank form with the "comment/mark up" tools enabled.  Then I merged that file with the other PDF form that was formatted with fields, radial buttons etc. 
I had to create the blank form for the attachments separately because if I tried to enable the "comment/mark up' tool on the form with fields and radial buttons it disabled the fields. 
Once created separately and then merged the functionality worked.  Does that make sense?
The comment markup tool then allowed me to attach files via the "attach file as a comment" option. 
With all that said.... I would like to know if this functionality works in all versions of Adobe reader and if not at which level it will not.
In addition, is there a way to make sure that the "comment/mark up tool bar" automatically populates when the form is opened.  This would be helpful, as otherwise will have to walk our users through additional steps. 
Do you have any ideas???
Thanks for your feedback!

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file?

    How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file? I know that you "Print to File" but for some reason that is not working for me.  I have Adobe Reader X, shouldn't that be able to create a PDF like this, or is there another program that I need to do this?  Thanks.

    Hi, gfrerichs.
    Reader X cannot create a PDF file - it can only view and print existing PDF files.
    In order to create a PDF file (for example, print a webpage as a PDF, as you mentioned), you can purchase our CreatePDF service. This service includes a CreatePDF Printer which can print web pages to PDF.
    Or you could purchase Acrobat, which can also convert webpages to PDF.

    iTunes can only burn files that are in its library, so forget about PDFs.
    Yes it can be done with other programs, using a data (not audio) CD format.

  • I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.  When I click on a .PDF file, Adobe Reader does not open the file.  I installed Adobe Reader on a Lenovo G480 laptop using Windows 8.  When I attempted to open a file called I believe G480_user_guide.PDF, a file called something like Nitro_PDF opened.  When I right clicked G480_user_guide.PDF and chose Open With, I found that Nitro_PDF was the default program for opening the file.  I tried to change to another program but found that Adobe Reader was not listed.  I chose the option for searching the computer for a file to open.  I found the folder Adobe in Program Files x64 but I was not able to find an executable.  Where is the Adobe Reader executable or what other method can I use for establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    Yes, I have now learned how to make a search with the Google search engine.  I am gradually learning how to use my new Lenovo laptop computer with Windows 8.  I learned yesterday that I can make a search with the Google search engine if I enter the search query in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser.  I think it was the Bing search engine that gave me the sites advertising Adobe Reader download but actually provided the download of a reader other than Adobe.
    In my opinion, Windows 8 is significantly different from Windows 7 and that it has hazards and pitfalls.
    I thank all of those who have replied to the initial inquiry.

  • How do I convert a MSWord file in a pdf file

    Hello...
    I want to convert a MSWord file in a pdf file automaticly within a Servlet.
    I don't know exactly what library I should use. The word file can contain
    any number of things(images,tables,special characters).... I've seen that with iText I have to consider each situation separatly(I have to know what's in the word file in order to generate the pdf file--this becomes very complicated)... Is there any other solution...other product that that can interpret the content of the word file and then convert it in pdf?
    Can anyone give me a hint?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick repsonse! That is what I thought but in Aperture (V 3.4.5) I do not have a PDF option under Print!! Is it possibly hidden somewhere?
    You first should get a panel with the page layout, and when you press the "Print" button in the panel,  you'll see the Printer settings. Here you should find the "PDF" button in the lower left corner.

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

    Hi jgallu7382,
    The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
    I hope that answers your questions.
    Best,
    Sara
