Best way:  PDF to html

What is the best way to copy the contents of a PDF (with
graphics) into an
html page?? Preferably something that doesn't require
purchasing yet
another program...
Unless I'm missing it, playing around with Acrobat itself
doesn't provide
any ready solution. Figured somebody here may know if it's
even possible or
not.

>>I do have Acrobat, but it basically just makes jpgs
and tiffs
No it doesn't. It makes PDF files which can contain JPGs.
TIFFs and other
elements.

  • Best Way to RICH HTML Editor on Air Desktop

    Hi, actually i trying to get an WYSWYG editor to work on air.
    Something like tinyMCE / ckeditor ( Like the one i´m using while writing this question).
    I want to paste images there and work with tables  too...
    For the moment, what i found is that i should use an stageWebView to load an html .... 
    I made a html page and uploaded to my server.
    It works if i go to the page via browser, but when i try to load it to the stagewebview , the editor is not there...
    I´m flash CS6 and air desktop 3.9
    Any idea on how this can be achieved ? Maybe another aproach ? Any component out there ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gonçalo Miguel

    I would initially assume it's not working because TinyMCE may think it's running from the wrong path. The same way you must configure most of those editors to know "relatively" where its files are, TinyMCE may simply not be able to find its libraries. For example if you're using an invalid relative include like <script type="text/javascript" src="<your installation path>/tinymce/tinymce.min.js"></script> where <your installation path> is incorrect.
    A quick way to find out is simply point to the script with a full address, http://www.yoursite.com/<your installation path/tinymce/tinymce.min.js
    Just tried it quick, works for me:
    And running local using File (with a wrapper HTML):

  • Best way to prepare HTML email

    I would like to survey the group here and get some advice on
    creating
    HTML-formatted email. Most of the time that I produce it, it
    is almost by
    accident -- some weird cut-and-paste maneuver from an
    existing work. But I
    am awash with questions:
    - Compose it in Dreamweaver or use Outlook?
    - Include photos by URL reference or embed them in the email?
    - Use CSS formatting, and if so, reference an external .css
    file or embed
    styles?
    - Various DOs and DON'Ts to insure against being trapped in
    spam filters.
    Perhaps this is better addressed in the Outlook newsgroup,
    and indeed, I
    have posed it there, as well. Be that as it may, I would be
    most grateful
    for any and all advice and/or for being pointed to any good
    online articles
    on the subject.

    Minimal CSS, and all either inline or in a small embedded

  • Best way to print html version of a PowerPoint

    I need to print out a couple of PowerPoint presentations that have been turned into web pages and posted online, so that I can share them with some people who don't have easy web access. I'm trying to avoid printing each page one at a time — total waste of paper!
    I can save these presentations as webarchive files, and even deconstruct those with WebArchive Folderizer, but the deconstructed folder only provides the elements for the presentation (background page, outline, javascript), not each individual page.
    Is there anything I can try to automatically save/print the collection of web-based PowerPoint slides into one document? TIA

  • Is FOP the best way to create PDFs in java?

    hi,
    Is using FOP the best way to create PDFs in Java? I played with it for a while and it looks really cool.
    I think FOP is more flexible than iText since it uses XML and XSL to generate PDF files. In iText, you probably will have to hard code all the styles and layouts in java.
    Any other thoughts?

    We have a commercial alternative to FOP that might do the job - our Report Generator at http://big.faceless.org/products/report can take XML documents and convert them to PDF. Like FOP it uses CSS2, but instead of the XSL-FO tags it uses basically the same tags as HTML. There's a free trial download available so you can give it a try and see if it fits your needs.

  • What's the best way to save a .pdf with comments?

    I really like the comment features in Acrobat X, but I'm a little stuck on what "Save As" function is the best for .pdfs. For example, I also use the GoodReader App quite a bit on my phone, and I've noticed that they have an option to "flatten" the markups on a file. When exporting the markings will open up just fine in any .pdf reader. I really like that system, but most of the time I need to use my laptop for the keyboard.
    With Acrobat X some markups are consistent (mainly the drawing ones), but the annotation ones are not as easy to figure out.
    So, what do you guys recommend for which format is best for saving. Essentially, I plan to grade student essays with markup and then e-mail the files back (or, if it is not too time consuming, upload them in GoogleDocs and then share the link). Either way, I'm looking for the best overall way to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I use stamps and text boxes most often. Occasionally I use the text-editing tools in the comments area, but they really don't save well when I flatten the file. Occasionally, I'll add a file to pdf when I need to extensively comment on a certain area of the pdf. Depending upon the comment I'll either use a text file (my preferred choice), an rtf, or pdf.

  • I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

    I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

    @Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
    If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
    A final resort to bring down file size is:
    1. Print to PostScript
    2. Distill to PDF
    That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
    I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

  • In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

    In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
    We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
    Thanks for any tips.

    Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

  • What is the best way to find what version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on a windows OS?

    Hi,
    I am developing a .Net App in which i want to find which version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on an Windows OS.
    It can be any of the software
    Adobe Reader
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro
    or any other.
    How to find out?

    The best way would be to find and query the AcroRd32.exe executable. The file version information is stored in the executable itself.
    There are lots of places in the registry that you could also potentially access relevant information.
    For example the uninstall string:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    Contains a string that you could use to search for the application version.
    How you would do this in .NET I'm not sure but you would use some kind of text search command to search for the relevant text and then use "if exists" condition.

    smgchandler,
    Any camcorder that can connect via USB or that can save to an SD card can interface with an iPad if you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit so that you can watch your videos on the new iPad's beautiful retina display.  You can find this on the Apple website or in most big box retail stores.

  • Best way to collect data from a PDF?

    What is the best way to collect 3 pieces of data that can be exported to Excel from a PDF that was created from a webpage?
    I thought about using a form, but I would need the form to stay with the PDF. Is it possible to attach a form that would open side by side with my PDF where I can type the data, then somehow export the data into Excel?
    Is it better to use insert comments, which looks like they can be exported as well?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    You could save your data using TDMS as well as ASCII to simply load it in another application later.
    Attached VI shows you how to save your data to a File after a certain amount of iterations, you can combine this then with your code and a timestamp.
