Bookmark text in PDF being truncated at 40 characters

I created styles (H1-H5) in my Word document. When I convert the Word document to PDF and generate a Bookmark structure, the Bookmark text in the PDF truncates my long headings at 40 characters. Any advise on how to stop the truncation of the text?
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Bookmark titles being truncated at 40 characters

Is it possible to copy bookmark text between PDF's please?

Hello - am new to Acrobat so hope this is not a really dumb question. I am working on a series of Powerpoint documents which I then convert to PDf's. The cli
ent wants these bookmarked by section. (170 slides all individually labelled by content so they can go straight to different sections)) These documents are then updated monthly and I wondered if there was a way I could save or copy the bookmarks text that I have created to save typing it all in again every time I create a new PDF? Thanks in anticipation.

In the old document with the bookmarks use the menu Document > Replace Pages...

Text in table being truncated in between.

Hi All,
I have a form with a nested table of 3 tables, form being triggered by a driver program.
The data for these tables is a longtext which mean the text is splitted into multiple lines and comes as a table type.
All the 3 nested tables are for the longtext fields.
Table Properties:
Flowed in Subform
Allowed page break at all levels.
Field allowed for multiple lines
Strange thing is that, when I publish the form data is comming to the fields perfectly, both in source, interface & form. But the data on the form is missing bits and pieces.
Example:
Source data: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, how I wonder What you are. Up above the world, so high. Like a diamond in the Sky.
Interface Data:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, how
I wonder What you are. Up above
the world, so high. Like a diamond
in the Sky.
On the form in the table coulmn.
Twinkle Twinkle Little What you
are. Up above the world, so high. Like
in the Sky.
I tried to identify if there is any escape sequence causing this, but couldn't find any.
Can somebody suggest me what might be wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

Dear Sai,
I think you need to maintain the following setting for the 'Text field' which is being used for printing the Long text:
1. Object Tab --> tab 'Cell' : Check the box 'Allow multiple Lines'
2. Goto Layout tab and check 'Expand to fit' (Height)
Hope this resolves the issue.
Cheers!!!

IOS7 - Select list text being truncated

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why long options in a select list (drop down) are being truncated? Is there a way to force such options to be all visible without truncating the text?
I have a responsive site, however on iPhones this text is being truncated while on Android and Windows Phone this works fine...
Thanks

I also faced the similar issue. But putting the empty <optgroup> after the last <option will do the trick . Thanks to the question on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19398154/how-to-fix-truncated-text-on-select- element-on-ios7
<select>
 <option selected="">This is a very very very long option that would truncate in iOS7!</option>
 <option>This is a very very very even longer option that would truncate in iOS7!</option>
 <option>This is the longest option that would very very very very sure truncate in iOS7!</option>
<optgroup label=""></optgroup>

Container Element Text Being Truncated in Email

Hello,
If a user rejects a Purchase Requision, I have added a Hard Check (BADI) that requires the user to enter a "Reason for Rejection."
In my BOR (ZBUS2105) GET_DATA method, I retrieve the "Reason for Rejection" text and add it to the Container.
In my "Send Rejection Email" step, I set the "Reason for Rejection" text in the email body.
When the email is sent, only 76 chars of the "Reason for Rejection" text is transferred from the Container to the email, however, in SWIA (Workflow logs), I can clearly see that my Container element contains about 210 chars of text.
Also, the "Reason for Rejection" Container element is defined as CHAR255 (max value size allowed by the Container).
Does anyone know why the "Reason for Rejeciton" text would be getting truncated in the email?
Thanks!

Unwanted bookmarks when combining PDFs

I've been trying to PDF a 344 page FrameMaker book (several documents) but I keep getting a memory error (I doubt it's my machine cause it happens on others). So I PDFd the individual documents in the book then combined them in Acrobat. That works fine except that a top level bookmark is added for each PDF filename. Looks something like this:
Report_Guide_1.pdf
Printing
Previewing
Report_Guide_2.pdf
Quick Report
SuperReport
Financial Report Writer
Report_Guide_2.pdf
Order Entry
Invoice - Laser Graphics
Invoice - Grey Bars
Order Entry Reports
And so on...
I cannot figure out how to get rid of these bookmarks (e.g., Report_Guide_2.pdf) and just have the bookmarks that were established in the individual PDF files. I've gone through the Acrobat Help but I don't find any obvious reference to a setting that controls this. Does anyone know how to prevent the generation of these unnecessary bookmarks during combining (Insert pages)?
I have also used the Create PDF/From Multiple Files method and it also generates the unnecessary bookmarks.
I'm using Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional on Windows XP Pro.
Thanks
April

As the script is written, you can cut and paste it into the JavaScript console/ Debugger, "Ctrl + J", and then highlight the text and press the keypad "Enter" key. You can place the following variation in Acrobat's JavaScript folder and have a menu item: function RemovePDFTypeFromBookmarks() { /* Author: Sean Stewart, ARTS PDF Date: 2 June 2004 Description: When you merge documents using Acrobat's merge process it creates a high-level bookmark with the filename of the merged document and subordinates all bookmarks from the merged document below this. This script can be used to: 1) moves all subordinated bookmarks up the bookmark tree; and 2) delete the filename bookmark */ var bm = this.bookmarkRoot; // Find the bookmarks which have .PDF and move all their children to the end // of the bookmark tree. Add each found bookmark to an array so that // it can be deleted at the conclusion of the process // Create an array to hold the bookmarks to delete @ a later stage try { var bmToDeleteArray = new Array(); // console.show(); // console.clear(); // console.println("Removing bookmarks with string \".PDF\" in name"); // Iterate through each bookmark var ibmLength = bm.children.length; for (var i = 0; i < ibmLength; i++) { // Check to see if this is a filename which // contains sub-ordinate bookmarks var bmToCheck = bm.children[i]; // test as case insative if((bmToCheck.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(".pdf")!=-1) && (bmToCheck.children!=null)) { // console.println("found bookmark with children " + i); // Move all children to the end of the root bookmark tree // being sure to move the first item in each case // note: this is because the queue is shrinking as // we move each item var ibmChildrenToMoveLength = bmToCheck.children.length; for(var j=0; j<ibmChildrenToMoveLength; j++) { // console.println("moving bookmark " + j); bm.insertChild(bmToCheck.children[0], bm.children.length); } // Add this to the array of bookmarks to be deleted later bmToDeleteArray[bmToDeleteArray.length] = bmToCheck; } } // Iterate through the array of 'filename' bookmarks to delete // and delete them for (var i = 0; i < bmToDeleteArray.length; i++){ // Delete bookmark bmToDeleteArray[i].remove(); } // Finally remove the array as a nicety delete bmToDeleteArray; // console.println(bmToDeleteArray.length + " booksmarks found and removed."); } catch (error) { app.alert("Action failed.\nThere must be an open document to process\n"+ error, 0, 3); } finally { // console.hide(); return; } //end try } end funciton // insert after the "Close" item (the default behavior) app.addMenuItem( { cName: , cUser: "Remove \".PDF\" Bookmarks", cParent: "Tools", cExec: "RemovePDFTypeFromBookmarks()", cEnable: "event.rc = event.target != null", nPos: "Object Data"});

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1 - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

Save as pdf deleted bookmarks when combining pdf-files

Hello,
when I save several books each to a pdf-file with save as pdf (or printing to .ps and converting afterwards), the bookmarks are deleted when I combine the pdf-files with Acrobat. Only one bookmark for the 1st. file exists in the new pdf-file.
The reference of the bookmarks in the original generated file is e.g. "g3.619626".
These references are not anymore available in the combined files.
I've tried several settings before saving as pdf but nothing helped.
Ther are no problems of combining ordinary pdf-files with bookmarks if they are generated by other programs then Framemaker.
I need to combine files as well within a book, as "save to pdf" is not able, to generate one file with different pages sizes. I then need to generate a separate pdf-file of the pages with the for e.g. bigger page size and combine it afterwards.
In that project I'm working there will over all something between 1000 and 1500 pages from maybe 10 books with hunderts of bookmarks plus additionally separete pfd files to combine. So it's not an option to treat every bookmark before combining the pdf-files.
My system is FM11.02.384 / Acrobat Pro 11.0.3 / Windows 7 64 Bit

Never having had a need to do it, and Adobe documentation for Acrobat being what it is, I can't tell if AcroPro is supposed to be able to merge bookmarks when merging PDFs. It would be an unsurprising feature, and you do say it works on PDFs generated by means other than FM.
Here's a hack that might work, if the variable-page-size rendering turns out to be out of reach. You can batch* this.
Open each component PDF and re-save it with some otherwise harmless optimization (or even none). This will probably cause AcroPro to re-write the internal structures of each PDF, which might then be amenable to merged bookmarks when you re-open them for merging.
* We do a similar thing for a slightly different problem. We have a software-in-a-box XML publishing app that, at just some seats, is generating PDFs that are tagged for byte serving (fast web view), but are not in fact encoded for it. This causes AcroReader plugin and entire browser crashes for web end users. The s/w vendor can't even tell us where the option is for controlling that feature, because they get the PDF gen code from some other 3rd party. So we routinely batch process all generated PDFs, with, oddly enough, NO "commands" selected. The re-save alone fixes it.

How to print bookmark into a PDF File?

Hi community
I have a PDF-File with a few pages and need to have on each page the bookmark printed as a text.
I tried with Javascript, and can print the filename but not yet the bookmarks.
I have following script:
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Print Filename", cParent:"File", nPos:20, cExec:"PrtFN();"});
//Print Filename to Pages
function PrtFN()
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
 var fd = this.addField("Print Bookmark", "text", p, [563,519,790,545]);
 fd.fillColor=color.white;
 fd.textSize=14;
 fd.textColor=color.red;
 fd.value = (this.documentFileName);
Do someone of you know how to print the bookmarks, something like "fd.value = (this.documentBookmark);" ?
Thanks for helpful answers!

It is possible to get a bookmark name from the bookmark object but as noted a reverse lookup for a bookmark to a given page is not fool proof.
You could write a script that walks the bookmark tree and then use execute to go to the page that book mark points too and then fill-in the bookmark name. This assumes all bookmarks perform the go to page/view action and do not run a script or open another PDF. You may also need to account for more than one bookmark pointing to a page.

Issue while converting turkish text in PDF via SMARTFORMS

Hello Experts ,
We are currently involved in translating an application to Turkish. Though the translation is completely done, when we test the issue we find that the application is working perfectly with the Turkish text but the transfer of data from application to the PDF via SMARTFORM is not working correctly. We find that the issue is due to 3 characters in Turkish which are (Ğ,İ,ş), We found out that this issue can be resolved using the OSS Note 625818.
However we have another issue which has cropped up.
Wherever certain characters are being printed the characters right after them are printing at the same location and thus overlapping.
For eg:
Whenever the character u201CIu201D is printed it is being overlapped by the character which is supposed to be printed after it instead of printing next to it.
Should be - İN
Currently - both are overlapping
Any idea on how can this be fixed?
when I actually tried to copy the text from PDF and paste it in this email the character u201CIu201D is replaced by the character u201CÝu201D in this email text box.
Please find below the actual text from the PDF. The u201C u201D is seen nowhere and is replaced by the u201CÝu201D.
GÖREVÝN DEGERLENDÝRÝLMES
we have found a solution for the same which is to give a tab space between the İ and N but this will lead to unnecessery space in the application.
Thank You!
Best Regards
Bonny

Hi,
We cannot print some characters as such, so try converting it to string or char then go for PDF.
Check the below link and note:

Unicode text in PDF

I have gone through some threads about japanese/chinease text in PDF.
my application creates PDF files. In my application text is stored in UNICODE form. currently the text (for Tj) is convered to char* which is locale dependant. I need to store text in PDF which will be locale independant.
I am using 'embedded' type 1 (TTF) font in above example. The result is, PDF created on Eng locale gives '?' for (each) *** text and PDF created on *** locale gives correct results (*How*).
From PDF Ref 3.8.1 Text Strings, I understand that, the text can be stored in UTF-16BE. I tried it but boxes (default char) apears in Adobe Reader 6.0... means each byte is treated seperatly. But as I said before for PDF created on *** locale (eventhough 1 character is of 2 byte) characters are read correctly.
This is a situation. Now I am confused about some aspects of speficications:
- Do I have to use 'type 0' font object (even if I am embedding simple TTF) to display text beyond 256 char code?
- why 2 bytes per character is read for text created on *** locale and not when I create text in UTF-16BE?
Thanks for your help,
Sameer

>From PDF Ref 3.8.1 Text Strings, I understand that, the text can be stored in UTF-16BE.
Many people have read this and made a big assumption that is not
valid.
Text strings are a particular type that is used in particular cases.
For example, they are used for bookmarks, which can indeed be
UTF-16BE. Nowhere does it say that this text string type works for
page contents.
>
>- Do I have to use 'type 0' font object (even if I am embedding simple TTF) to display text beyond 256 char code?
Absolutely. A /Type1 or /TrueType font is by definition a single byte
font, and the rules for Encoding are followed exactly as described.
There is no two byte escape.
If you wanted to use only 256 characters FROM a large font this is
possible; you could break your Japanese font down into multiple
embedded subsets, each of less than 256 characters.
>
>- why 2 bytes per character is read for text created on *** locale and not when I create text in UTF-16BE?
You mean this sometimes seems to work? Suggests a bug.

Extracting text from PDF in columns?

I'm trying to extract the text from a number of PDFs in which the text is in two columns. When I copy the txt and paste it into Word, it ends up being in a single column, the width of one of the original columns, but with a hard return at the end of each line.
I don't really care if the extracted text ends up being in one column or two, I just want it not to have a return at the end of each line. Can anyone suggest an alternative method?

i get the following error message:

Highlight the bookmarked text when clicking bookmark link?

I have severeal bookmarks on one page of the PDF. Is it possible to have the PDF set up so that it will highlight the bookmarked text when the bookmark link is clicked? Or something that would make it easier to find the bookmarked section of the document. I am using Acrobat 9. Thanks!

A bookmark (go to page view type action) doesn't really link to text, it links to a page and view setting (zoom, and possibly scroll). So this isn't an option with such a link.
