Attachments and Linking PDFs

Hello--
I am trying to take one parent PDF and create multiple buttons/links to separate PDFs which I have attached to the parent PDF or that sit in a certain folder.  I have somewhat figured out how to create a link to get me to the attached PDF, but once I click the link and am taken to the attached PDF, the parent PDF closes and I am unable to navigate back to the parent PDF without browsing for it and re-opening it.  (I guess I could create another link in the attached PDF and link it to the attached parent PDF, but then I enter some sort of vicious circle of linking and attaching that seems like it should be avoidable.)
Also, are buttons more effective for this type of thing?  Or links?
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same exact question.
Pls advise.

  • Controlling Attachments and Copying PDF forms

    Am I correct in assuming that you cannot control the attachment of a PDF form through the use of Rights Management.  I have a client that wished to do this as they do not really want to have to write script in their process to accomodate this.  Also is there a way in RM to be able to prevent a PDF from being copied?

    Hi Steve,
    The use case for this is that the client is worried about intellectual property being sent out to people that are not supposed to have it.  I understand that DRM will not allow any unauthorized users from opening the PDF file.  What the client wanted to be able to do was have PDF documents that the internal user could not copy to other locations and could not actually attach to an email.  They figured that this would be the safest way to deal with loss of IP.
    I explained that we could do the prevention of an attachment through scripting in a process, but there is really nothing that we can do in DRM.  The bottom line is that if someone wants to steal IP then there is no way to prevent all methods of doing this.  The best that we can do is make it as hard as possible.  I will also explain again that the security is in the PDF form itself and they do not have to worry about unauthorized access,
    This is not something that I think we should spend a lot of time on as the level of security in the form more than meets what the client requires, they just don't understand it yet.
    Thanks for your help in this.

  • ExportFile with linked pdf ... Is it a bug ?

    Hi,
    I'm facing a very strange behaviour with exportFile and linked PDF in inDesign cs 5.5 and 5 on mac and pc.
    I have a script simply doing an exportFile to png on all images contained in a inDesign file.
    Everything works well, except if user click in inDesign during process : if user click in inDesign all images linked with a .pdf or .ai file are rendered as transparent images (but with correct dimensions).
    Is this a known bug?
    Thanks!

    See this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3876223#3876223 .
    I reported the bug around the time of that thread. I haven't checked if the latest 5.5 update fixed it, but there wasn't anything about it in the release notes...

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

    How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
    What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file.  I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created.  A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
    I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model.  I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
    Please, any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
    This example has simple
    buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
    place record in form
    of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
    the next button and
    based on that the button will be selected as the one last
    clicked.
    You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
    button simply gotoAndPlay frame
    to continue the part you need.

  • PDF Portfolio with Index Doc (and links)?

    Hello all.
    I'm a newbie at Porfolios, and have version 9 on windows. I also have version 10 at work.
    I want to take an excel spreadsheet (converted to pdf) and make it a main index in my portfolio; whereas when someone clicks on the index, it starts at a first page; allowing them to view the list of assets, and then click an asset name (link) which takes them to a sub file in a sub folder, or just a sub file. I don't think I ever go more than 2 link clicks to get to the bottom of the tree.
    I was able to create the index, and links, and on both 9 and 10 (windows) it follows the links nicely.
    The problem? There's no logical button or menu choice that I can find which takes me back to the main index after I've hit the bottom of the tree.
    Thoughts?

    I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio.  I
    need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
    created date of that file for control of information.
    That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
    Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

  • When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

    When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

    Thanks for the tip, but I had already tried this and it did not help. The File still downloads and , at the same time, a new Safari window opens - but the Safari window is blank.
    Another discussion thread related to this problem is:
    How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?
    but this deals  with Safari 5.1 which evidently has a problem with Adobe Reader.
    I am using Safari 5.0, so the suggested solutions do not apply. ( I tried them anyway, but they did not work.)

  • PDF optimizer destroying bookmarks and links

    Help. I am trying to reduce a PDF book from 730MB to under 700, so it can be published on a CD. Reduce file size cannot be used as it reduces resolution of images too much. The pages need to print out well on home printers as they have detailed charts.
    I am on Acrobat 8. The PDF was produced by InDesign 5.0.4.
    I am using PDF optimizer but it is destroying my bookmarks and hyperlinks, though not consistently.
    My images and embedded video take up 98% of the space so I only need to compress the images slightly.I have set image compression to 300, Jpeg2000, Lossless.
    I have made it compatible with Acrobat 8. In Discard User Data and Discard Objects no boxes are checked, but the boxes with these titles on the left are checked.
    In Clean Up settings I have 'Compress document Structure', with 3 boxes ticked - use Flate (2 boxes), and Optimize for fast web view.
    What can I do to reduce the file size slightly but keep all bookmarks and links?

    I'm running Acrobat 9 Professional. There may be some differences if you are running another version.
    Do you have View/Page Display set to Allow Scrolling when you create these bookmarks/links?  This will allow you to set Bookmarks with part of the next page showing.  However, when you click on a bookmark it will take you to the top of the next page. 
    This is a "feature" of the software and I think there is nothing you can do about it.   You can add actions to your bookmark that will zoom out and zoom in after going to the destination but these only approximate the actual destination.  Using Named Destinations will not work either.
    A better way would be to create your bookmarks from the Structure of your document (i.e., the Tags Panel).  Bookmarks created from the Structure will allow the display of more than one page. The heading or other tagged content that is bookmarked will appear at the top of the display.    The Action will look the same in the Panel, but the Bookmark has a different effect.
    Interestingly, Set Destination seems not to be an option for bookmarks created from Structure.

    My safari won't let me view a pdf link, nor can I save it as a document. How can I view these pdfs and links?

    Have you installed Adobe Reader and its associated plugin? AFAIK, that's the preferred if not the only way to open PDFs in an embedded view within Safari.

  • Listing product numbers and linking related pdf

    I need to create a web page that just lists our product
    numbers and link a pdf for each. We are having problems with our
    original website where no changes can be made (including pricing).
    I am building a new one and although I have our shopping cart 90%
    complete, this company wants a list to go up with the home page so
    we can take the other site down while I continue building the
    proper remaining pages for our site. I can copy and paste my
    product numbers into DW, though I will have to go in an link a pdf
    to each. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

    to the server.
    easy peasy!
    if you're looking for something that will automate the
    process, i don't
    think there is one.
    You're right the copy and paste is easy, but I don't know how
    to get the PDF's linked without doing each one individually...
    which isn't difficult, just time consuming and mind numbing. I was
    hoping for suggestions as to the easiest way to bring the data into
    DW, whether it was copy and paste or to import a .csv or another
    avenue that I'm not aware of. Additionally, if there's an easier
    way to link 150+ PDF's.
    Because I'm new to DW (building my first website), I also
    don't have the knowledge of the best way to set up that temporary
    page. At this minute I merely created a blank HTML page and created
    a table, then I imported a product .csv file to fill that table.
    When I launched both Safari & FF, the products look fine in
    their columns and rows along with the few PDF's that I linked.

  • Printing attachments from Outlook PDF package

    I'm working on a project for work trying to print the contents of several imported pst Outlook archives. I've created a pdf package from the e-mails using the built-in Adobe toolbar in Outlook. I need to be able to print out the e-mails with attachments (and there may be several attachments per e-mail) in order, but can't figure out how to print the attachments at the same time. I can click on the attachments manually, but doing that with thousands of e-mails is out of the question. Is there a way to print out the e-mails in order with attachments using the pdf package file created from Outlook?
    P.S. I've used "Print Tools for Outlook" but have had problems with it not printing e-mails and not printing all the attachments. If anyone can point me to a program that can work, I'd be glad to try it.
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If your Curve is like most BB's, then PDF's are not natively viewble on it. When PDF's come in as an email attachment, they are viewable via the email attachment service. But all other means require a bit of additional software on the device. The To-Go apps that come free with most BB's do not handle PDF's...the $$$ premium edition does handle them. Plus there are other PDF add-ons (BeamReader?) that are cheaper (so I hear) that also handle PDFs.
    Basically, since it's a Calendar attachment, the email attachment service is not invoked -- hence it is unviewable without something added.
    Hope that heps!

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
