Bookmark in PDF and Postscript

I put bookmarks in the report for the PDF output.
If I output to postscript and later on reconstruct the PDF file the bookmarks are lost.
Does anybody know if I can put bookmarks info in the postscript file?
Thanks
Alex

hello,
bookmarks are format specific. PDF provides the capability to create bookmarks postscript does not.

PDF from PostScript file with hyperlinks/bookmarks

Is there a way to include hyperlinks and bookmarks when printing to Postscript file.
Direct Export to PDF creates a huge file size so I need to go the PostScript/Distiller route.

Would it not be possible to use the famous Acrobat Replace Pages featurebug/bugfeature here? (Hyperlinks on, and bookmarks to pages do not get replaced when you replace those.)
Something like:
1. Export to PDF.
2. Print and Distill.
3. Replace all pages in the document from step 1 with those from step 2.
4. Done.

Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported.

I downloaded Indesign CS3 trial and liked everything about it until I attempted to print to postscript and got that message. Nothing I have tried has helped. I have seen in various forums that others are having the same problem, but haven't found any solution offered. I am running Tiger 10.4.10 on a new Intel Imac with 3G ram. This is a procedure I use very often in my workflow, and have never had this problem with CS2 on my PC or other Macs. Is there a solution? I downloaded the .1 update and installed that and it didn't change anything.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Its the first time Im using print booklet option to save my file. I have the same problem when trying to save as pdf and get the
"The Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported."
I'm trying to save a .pdf of a booklet of a facing pages document of A4 size each facing page for a whole size A3, then hope to let the pages be correctly arranged by inDesing, then print and staple.
Meaning pages will be like this - Page #60 left side [of the A3] - page #1 right side [of the A3] , page # 2 right side[of the A3] - page #59 left side[of the A3] etc...
I CANT DO IT. I tried to follow Melvin Thompson , but when I choose save .ps and open it in preview all I see is independent a4 pages and just the left ones , .. How can I save my file as .pdf ready to be printed in a3 ?
I really appreciate any help.

Pdf and djvu viewer with bookmark support.

Hello everyone.
Can someone advise me pdf and djvu viewer with a bookmarks support?
I was using evince before but some time ago a bookmark support
ceased to work for me.
I mean a bookmark support with ability to open saved documents
after restarting of viewer.

Thanks for answer. As far as I discovered apvlv remembers the last position in pdf and djvu files but opens it only in pdf files correctly. At least it happens with my djvu files.

Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
* Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
* Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Destin

Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that. I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
which will be a learning experience...

C-Plus set bookmark for PDF to FO_PgfFmt when FO_PgfFmt is defined in master page

Using the following across all documents in a book
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "100_TOC_Header01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 1);
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "010_01_00_Heading01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 2);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_DocAcrobatElements, False);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmark, True);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmarksOpenLevel, FV_PDFBookmarksOpenAllLevels);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone);
F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Name), False);
to set bookmarks for PDF when doing a save as PDF on the book.
This works for all FO_PgfFmt's defined in the document except when the FO_PgfFmt is defined in a master page.
Is there some setting that is needed to get bookmarks from master page FO_PgfFmt's?
Or is there some setting that needs to be done on the master page to get the bookmark set?
Any advice or directions would be helpful.
Using FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows 7.

Whoever created the Master Page didn't know what they were doing from a workflow perspective. There should never be live content on a Master page.
The title is placed in a background frame on what is probably defined as the "First" master page and is only used once in your document. It would have been better if this was a variable (it might be, have you checked?) and then you could get at the content easily.
Option 1: In order to use FM's internal bookmark generation tools, you will need to get that content onto the Body page and into the same flow (and at the correct location) in order to have it appear at the correct location in the Bookmarks panel of the PDF.
From a programming point of view you will probably need to do the following.
1. Get the text string from the background frame on the specific Maser Page in the document
2. Create a custom colour that will be applied to the Text in order to render it "invisible" on the Body page using FM's Color Views option (set the colour to the Invisible column in the View number for the document). (FM will still know that it is there but will not display nor output that string). You could also have this pre-defined in a template and import the template into all files in the book (including the desired paratag for that paragraph on the Master page).
3. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
4. Insert a text frame into that anchored frame
5. Insert the text string from the background text frame
6. Apply the appropriate paratag that uses the Invisible colour for the text
7. You can now add the paratag to the bookmark list and generate the PDF.
Option 2: Create the bookmark code directly using pdfmark commands in a postscript text frame on the Body page. Postscript text frame contents are interpreted by Distiller from the output and do not display.
1. Get the text string from the background frame in the document
2. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
3. Insert a postscript text frame into that anchored frame
4. Insert the bookmark pdfmark code including the text from step 1.
Sample pdfmark code:
[/Title (the string from the background text frame here) [options for font, colour and hierarchy] /OUT pdfmark
The minimum info required is in bold.

Deleting Extension while exporting to Pdf or Postscript only hide it

Hi all,
I need to be able to delete the "ps" or "pdf" extension while exporting to a pdf or postscript file in the printing menu on macosX.
When i try to delete the extension in the saved name, it quote the "hide extension button" and when unquoting the "hide extension" button, the extension re-appears.
How can i change this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Julien.

Welcome to the forums Julien!
I'd be very curious as to the "need" to do this, but it appears you're 100% correct. It seems you can only rename it after the fact to lose the .ps or .pdf.

How do I put a SWF on a layer in a PDF and turn off visibility?

I have a PDF file produced from a Word document. I can embed a SWF just fine with my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended package but what I want to do is more than place it in a blank space on a page. I want to add it to a layer that I can turn the visibility of on and off with a link so that I can float the SWF over the body of the text temporarily. I've been successful going to a page via links and bookmarks but I want a link to turn on a layer with the SWF already on it when I activate a button link. Then I want to be able to go back to the original page view by turning off the layer. I created layers via Illustrator resaved the file as PDF and embedded the SWF on that layer. The problem is that I could not get the visibility to turn off with the layer menu.
Ideas anyone please?
By the way, I got a letter back from the moderator of the Acrobat Forum when I contacted him directly with this question, He sent me to this part of the Forum with the question I posed to him. Rules! There are some but it is not easy to find them!
Has anyone else had the same trouble I have had with getting oriented and operating on the Forum? I think that a real live phone conversation would be and easier way to get answers than this Forum is. I know Adobe is ubiquitous and it would be very expensive but other popular software companies make getting support much easier than this is.

Add Bookmark in PDF File

Hi,
I have to add bookmark in pdf file, i tried so many ways. But no use.
i have a PDf with full text information, i want to add few text (Some words with in the PDF) from the content and need to add them in bookmark. i know i can add manulay but my pdf has 1000 to 2000 pages. so manual process is not easy. Is it any possible way to do in java?
if we need i can get all the word in separate file too. can i read the word from another file and can i add them as a bookmark?
for example, conside the below text which is available in my PDF. from this i want to add few word which is available in BOLD letters.
Delta Enterprises said it would contact the customers who bought 600,000 of these cribs to send them additional parts to make the mechanism safer.
+The other 985,000 cribs under recall, made in Indonesia and Taiwan, use safety pegs in the gate mechanism that customers must install.+
+The recall is one of the largest in US history and follows another recall of 2,000 cribs, also made in China, which was issued by the CPSC on Thursday. A five-month-old infant suffocated after being trapped between the mattress and the crib side and prompted the recall Playkids USA cribs.+
hope i explained clearly.
Please help me.. im struggling lot...
Thanks in advance.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

Convert MS Word bookmarks to pdf

Let me say that I'm no expert here but have been working with Acrobat Standard X for 5 years before a laptop crash.
Purchased and installed Acrobat Standard X recently and noticed 2 problems I didnt have on my old version.
#1 Noticed that there is no adobe buttons in any of my microsoft office (excel, word ...).
#2 I use standard X to write manuals. Using word to create the doc, I use bookmarks in word and then convert to pdf. but the bookmarks are not converting over to pdf. I have insured that preferences/convert to pdf/Word "add bookmarks to Adobe pdf" is checked. Still no bookmarks are converted.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Hope you have not called Tech-Support before you read this:
First thing First:
Acrobat X is fully compatible with Office 2003. It includes MS Office (Word/Excel/PPT), Word_Import Comments, MS Outlook, Mail Merge, Attach As PDF, Attach As Secured PDF, MS Visio/Project, MS Access, MS Publisher.
Check the below mentioned link of Adobe Knowledgebase for the complete list of supported application:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
So you dont have to downgrade anything. You are all set to go. All you need to perform the steps mentioned in the Knowledgebase article to get the Acrobat Tab in MS Word/Excel etc to convert the word files along with the bookmarks.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329044.html?rec=true
You can also watch the video available on it. Its real simple to do this. Should you have any issue while doing this, please reply.

Hyperlink to a bookmark in PDF file

I have a PDF file included in my project help source.
I have added a hyperlink in a topic to open that PDF file.
That is working fine and no problems.
Is it possible to define a hyperlink wthin a topic to open the PDF and go to a bookmark within the PDF?
Basically what I want to do is this:
Have an FAQ topic that provides a list of frequently asked questions with corresponding answers.
The answer must be short and concise but allow the user to click a hyperlink to get "more information".
Some of the content that is the "more information" for the answer is not in a topic, but in the PDF.
I would like to define a hyperlink within a topic that opens the PDF to a specific place WITHIN the PDF file.
I assumed the place in the PDF must have a bookmark (is there any other way?).
I have:
Created the bookmark in a Word document.
Added that bookmark as a bookmark when creating the PDF using Adobe Acrobat.
(This is not ideal as it appears in my PDF as extra bookmarks - I will deal with that after I see if this approach will really work)
I tried doing a standard bookmark hyperlink (e.g., DataDefinitions.PDF#HPI Metrics) but the PDF just opens without going to the specific place within the PDF that has the relevant content.
Is this even possible?
It just seems like it can be, but maybe I am just experiencing wishful thinking.
As always, thanks for any advice/assitance/suggestions.
Michael F Weart

Hi Michael.
There are a couple of ways to achieve this. To link to a specific page by number use:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/file.pdf#page=3">Link text</a>
To link to a named location (destination) use:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/file.pdf#nameddest=TOC">Link text</a>

I am converting a .docx file to a pdf and the text is coming out blurry

I am trying to convert a .docx file to a pdf and the text keeps coming out blurry. Some sentences seem to be bolded in the pdf as well. All the colored text seems like there's a shadow behind it and all the text in bold seems extra blurry. I am saving the file as a pdf. I tried to print the file as a pdf but it kept crashing. I have adobe acrobat pro and distiller, but I'm not savy about which program does what.
Thanks for any help!

If you are trying to convert a Word file, ensure the text is in 100% black only.
To create PDF's there are hundreds of different combinations that can be used, but only a few will give you a good 'print ready' file, which is what I think you may be after.
You may have font issues that are stopping the text looking sharp.
If you have Distiller, you can try to print as .ps (save as postscript), load distiller up and choose one of the high quality settings in the pop down menu.
If you are working on a Mac you can drag and drop the .ps file direcetly on the dock icon for distiller, or if you are running Windows you will need to navigate to the file via the menu bar (you will need to know where you have saved your .ps file).
There may be other issues with the original file format that is causing problems with your PDF creation.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!
