Backsave PDF files out of CS5??

I have to save files as PDF's for my job so that everyone in the company can view them with reader. All files are created in Illustrator CS5 with layers. I save them as PDF's, but when I do this..the other artists who are on CS3 open the files and all the layers are flattened. Does anyone know how to fix this so everyone can view my layers that are created in CS5 in the PDF format?

It is unclear what the problem is. My guess is you want users of Illustrator CS3 to open your Illustrator PDFs as fully editable Illustrator files. If so, then try saving as Illustrator .ai files, not PDFs, where you will get the option to select the Illustrator format to save to. After saving the file, change the extension to PDF.
You could also use a copy of Illustrator CS3 to save your PDFs instead

Font issue occurs when creating pdf file from Illustrator CS5.

I have some design files which are created in Illustrator CS5 and I made them as a pdf file using InDesign CS5 while I open the pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9 I have no issue with the file but my client is using Acrobat Pro 7 while they open the pdf file in Acrobat pro 7 junk characters(rectangular boxes) are appearing in it. Can anyone please look in to this and confirm is this a version bug or something else? It would be much appreciated if some give any idea to get rid of this issue.

Aside from the PDF version, but to follow-up to what David is getting at, you are likelythe fonts are not embedding. Because they reside on your system you see the PDF as it should be. Your client likely does not have the fonts installed.
Make sure your ID export of the document is including the fonts. If that still does not work, check to make certain the fonts you are using allow them to be embedded.
If all else fails, seeing how this PDF is for client review (I assume) have the PDF settings set to convert type to outlines. This gets you past the current dilemma as you figure out the cause.
Take care, Mike

Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tania

PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

How do I move PDF files out of iBooks and into Goodreader?

Question. How do I move my PDF files out of iBook and into Goodreader. ??

I may havE found why the files disappear in the first place.
In iTunes, after connecting your iPad, check on the sync list. Click the "books" tab and be sure that "Books and PDF files" is selected. Then go thru the list and be sure all the PDF files you want to save are checked.
Perhaps this wasn't done causing the PDF files to not be synced and thus restored during the conversion to iOS5.
Thanks for your help. I will stop worrying about it and in any case, I now have several ways to recover those PDF files.

I can't open PDF files in InDesign CS5

Hi all,
I can't seem to open any PDF files of any version while using InDesign CS5...
I'm currently running InDesign in Windows 7 Professional x32bit...
This message keeps popping up:
Cannot open the file "TIG_Sheet_and_Application.pdf". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I've made sure that the file was not open in any application, and its not just this particular pdf files... all PDF files can't be opened. The only thing that actually opens in InDesign are the indd files...
I try going through the plug-in list, but there's a bunch and I'm not sure which one is it...
Tried google search for a solution but found no solution...
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,

krystlew, and others reading this thread and considering the answers "snarky" or "not helpful": note that this is the InDesign SDK forum -- that is, a question posted here should be about programming for InDesign:
About this Forum
The InDesign SDK forum is for discussions on InDesign plugin development using the InDesign SDK. InDesign plugins are developed in C++.
Presumably, you found this discussion because the error message lead you here: that you cannot "open" a PDF. That's InDesign's usual message for all content that it cannot 'open' with the command "File > Open..."; try for example with a Word document, a JPEG image, or an Excel spreadsheet. InDesign is perfectly able to import these files -- but you cannot use "File > Open...". You must use the command "File > Place..." instead. "Placing a PDF" is described in the online Help: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
It is a regular User Interface question and so unrelated to what this forum is for. General InDesign questions can be asked in the regular user forum: https://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/content
I believe that the original question was posted in error in this forum and thus got interpreted as "what do I need to code to natively open PDFs". The answer is: lots. InDesign does not provide anything to natively read a PDF, so you would have to program literally everything.
(Some of the other posts ask why InDesign cannot already do this -- and the answer is, "Because It Is Incredibly Hard". The counterargument I usually give is that InDesign can also import (place) and export JPEG images and yet it is not a JPEG Editor. I can provide technical arguments as well. One is, there are lots of ways to construct PDFs in such a way that important content information is lost -- even something as basic as "what text is actually here".
... So, kudo's to Markzware for making it possible anyway! If you found this post because you need to convert a PDF file to a native, editable InDesign document, try their software.)

Opening a PDF file out of a project

Hello there,
I am trying to open a PDF in Adobe Reader out of a Captivate
Project. I decided to do this through a clickbox. This clickbox is
set up to open an URL or a file. I decided, it has to open a PDF.
When I click on that clickbox, it opens my PDF file. So far so
good. But the PDF is opened by the Reader-Plugin, which is ebedded
in the Internet Explorer. That was not my intention.
My Question is now, what do I have to do to let the PDF file
open in the stand alone Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Markus

Hi Markus
This is an issue that has been seen quite a bit in the web
world. If you were to Google the issue, you would also see it
exists for Microsoft Word too. Again, it's not something one may
configure easily. I do believe it stems from the File association
in Windows.
Yes, you may configure your Acrobat Reader so links to PDFs
from web pages open in the stand alone reader. But that's only
changing behavior for you. Not for others. How the PDF displays for
others is defined individually on their own PCs. My thoughts are
that if we could influence this behavior, what would stop a hacker
from influencing malicious behavior? And there, I believe, is the
rub.
Cheers... Rick

How do I create 1 pdf file out of multiple pdf's

I have about 40 individual pdf files that I'd like to turn into 1 file with 40 pages. How do I do it?
Thank you, Joe

Hi Captain Puget,
You can use either Adobe PDF Pack of Acrobat to combine PDF files. With PDF Pack, you can combine 12 files at once, so you'd have to combine in batches. You wouldn't have that same limitation with Acrobat.
Please see cloud.acrobat.com and www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

How to display pdf-files out of a blob

Hello,
we want to use pdf to publish our enterprise-informations (jobs, press release...) in the intranet.
How can a display a pdf-file with Portal that was saved in blob?
regards
Ralf Schmitt

Not entirely. At least we came to the conclusion it doesn't make (much) sense to block the save option of PDFs if you want to allow printing them
Anyway; there is of course another possibilty: you could always write your own java bean PDF reader; there are plenty of java PDF libraries available:
Open Source PDF Libraries in Java
The easiest way would be to choose one which can open a PDF from a URL and render it; I would retrieve the image via mod_plsql using WPG_DOCLOAD and simply use the PDF library to render the PDF. No tempfiles anyway, and if you don't implement it there is also no save button.
cheers

How to create one pdf file out of several pages documents?

I have created several seperate pages documents and want to merge them now to one pdf file. Currently if have exported only single pages documents in the pdf format to the documents app from readdle. I would prefer to order them in pages (e.g. in a folder) and convert the whole folder afterwords to a single pdf document.
Maybe there is another and better way to do it. Your help is very welcome.

In iOS:
Combine the pages files into a single document, (Pages will not batch print)or
Find an app for iOS that will facilitate combining PDF files into a singe file. (To be honest, I have my doubts about finding one).

How to create multiple pdf Files out of multiple pages documents??

I wrote multiple pages documents and stored them in a directory. That is nice, but now I want to transfer them all into pdf files.
Is there a way to do this or do I have to open them one by one an select "Print" and so on??

Pages 5 has virtually no AppleScript support so it would be difficult to even make an Automator workflow to do what you want.
So yes you will have to make a pdf of each one. Be warned that Pages 5 stuffs up links after the first pages of pdfs.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder if you had it previously.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

ITunes 11 how to delete PDF files out of the categorie "books"

I imported some PDF files into the iTunes 11 mediathek under the categorie books!
How can I delete some of those PDF files?

got exactly the same problem, can't delete books, backspace key and delete from option from drop menu does not wok....
Ok, problem solved.
You have to remove books from the itunes library, not from the iphone library. Just do it when iphone-ipad is disconnected.

Open PDF file in Flash CS5.0

Is there any way to open a PDF file in flash application using Action Script 3.0 ?

By open do you mean import or simply display?
You can use the StageWebView class to display a PDF if the user has a PDF viewer installed. It essentially punts the work off to the system browser to display it. You just tell the StageWebView instance to load the PDF directly. I do that on iPads and iPhones and it works great. Very smooth response and all the PDF controls intact.
Now if the user does not have a PDF viewer installed, that won't work.

Need help exporting multiple individual PDF files out of Indesign CC

I work for a monthly publication and we send our files to the press at the end of the month. There are around 190+ pages that need to be exported as individual PDF's and each PDF needs to be labled as their correct page number. Since we often are backed up against the wall at our deadline, we really need a way to export all these files at one time. Is there a way to export multiple PDF files at one time in Indesign CC?

You could script InDesign to export each page as individual PDF with specific export presets and labeled with correct page number.
But you could also use Acrobat Pro for this task (sorry for the certainly wrong translation of the Acrobat UI – I use a german version ...):
Export the whole publication as 1 PDF file (pp. 1-190).
Open it in Acrobat Pro and choose »Tools › Extract Pages«.
Type 1 to 190 and check the box »extract pages as single pages«, choose the location where to extract to and acrobat automatically numbers your new PDFs sequentially from 1 to x. (Caution: it doesn’t take the correct page number, but numbers sequentially, so it is important to have a PDF from pp. 1-190 in the correct order.)
So with this (as mentioned – sorry for German ):
You’ll get this:

Interactive PDF file using InDesign CS5

I've created an interactive portfolio within InDesign. Within the InDesign layout I've created a button "Testimonial" when the user clicks it reveals a reference letter. (The reference letter is also a button.) Then the viewer needs to click on a "close" button on the reference letter to go back to the portfolio view.
It's set up and when I view it within InDesign using the Preview area. It works.
When I export as a Interactive PDF and view in Acrobat. The "close" button is not there. So I'm unable to return to the portfolio view.
Any suggestions?

Thank you... what was wrong. Didn't I do everything correct and have the close button on top in the stacking order... was this a software bug?
I'm not sure what that other poster was doing. Duplexing won't exist until the drivers get 64 bit clean. I've been there and done that.
