Bookmarking entire PDF Package

I am using Acrobat Standard 8.1.2 (PC) in a income tax office and want to setup tax return preparation workpapers just as if I were using paper files. Information generally arrives by e-mail as a pdf and paper docs that are scanned to pdf. In addition, I also create excel and word docs in the preparation of each return. I want to use the combining feature of Adobe 8 to assemble all documents/files for the project into one package.
Is there a way to have only one set of organizable bookmarks for the entire package of PDFs, WORD Docs (.doc), and/or Excel worksheets (.xls), instead of having separate bookmarks within each separate file?

I know you posted this question long back, just wondering where you able to fix this issue, I am having the same as yours,
I just posted today in this forum, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/722510, Can you please let me know If you have any suggestions
Thanks

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
    1. File>Print
    2. <ctrl + P>
    3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
    1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
    2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
    3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32
PageNumbers = Yes
PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled
PrintViewOnly = No
SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0
FontCompression = 1
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,

Using Submit buttons in multi document pdf package

I have several pdf files (forms) each with a Submit (pdf) button. I also have the files together in one pdf package file. This might sound like a stupid question but will clicking on any of the Submit buttons on any of the pages in the file send the entire pdf package file to the recipient?
Thanks.

Well I did think after that it must seem silly that I didn't try tt, however, I actually don't have the Submit buttons there yet. I am in the middle of a project and I'll trying to decide whether it's practical or not for me to go back and add Submit buttons to all of the files. I thought I'd throw the question out there to save myself the time.
So I guess I'll just have to try it, unless someone out there knows something I don't know.
One thing I noticed on a file that I do that the Submit button on is that when you click it, nothing appears to happen, so it could confuse the user. It actually creates an email with the file attached, but it doesn't bring the email client window to the front, so the user could think nothing has happened. That's what I thought when I first tried it.
thanks.

Possible to enter hyperlinks or other type of interfile links that function within PDF Package?

We deliver our product as a PDF Package. The only apparent benefit is slightly enhanced search function and file navigation and more 'professional' appearance. BUT the huge downside is the loss of hypertext links between files.
Our product comprises 90 modules all functioning seamlessly via a "Cartesian join": every module to every module. In this way, the collection of PDFs emulates a Help product when NOT packaged and when located in a single folder. User can navigate information (interfile) via hypertext links.
Once packaged the hypertext links do not work, and even worse (i think I recall) display as errors in the PDF, so hyperlink field codes must be removed versus left in the file latent, in order to create the Package.
We removed > 5000 hyperlinks in order to package the PDFs. Now I am unsure of the benefit. The loss of dynamic links between files greatly reduces usability as users must follow hard text references to other files, and must locate the target section manually by clicking bookmarks and searching on key words, in the PDF Package. Feels like the dark ages of print.
Can anyone suggest a workaround (any type of link functionality) that enables links that dynamically open target file, when user clicks linked text IN A PDF PACKAGE (where PDFs have been packaged using the Create Package function)?
We would like to restore that functionality to our PDF deliverable while still delivering as a Package.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I read where PDF Package was introduced in Acrobat 8. I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I went from 7 directly to 9 so I've never seen Acrobat 8. It appears to me that PDF Package you refer to has been replaced with PDF Portfolio because I don't have the option when combining files to create a package. Are you using Acrobat version 8?
I create all of my links between PDFs using an Acrobat plug-in called Compose. It has an option that allows for relative links. I've never used Word to link between documents so I don't think I can be of help. I have used InDesign for that purpose and they work for me. I do not combine my PDFs into a "package" or a "portfolio" per se. They remain as separate files just like they were on the system I created them on. I burn them to a CD, folders and all, and use bookmarks and links to navigate between all of them.
I think we are doing two completely different things so I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

Initial View for PDF Package

I've created a PDF Package. I'd want to make sure that the documents in the package display on the left-hand side of the document pane when someone opens the PDF Package. There doesn't seem to be any option for that under File > Properties > Initial View. How can I make sure that the links to the individual files that make up the Package are showing when someone opens the Package?

Default documents in PDF Portfolios - see my old blog.
Showing the bookmarks panel (by changing the Document Properties) should work for a standalone file, but it won't change what's shown on the previews in a Portfolio.

Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package. We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all. It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files. With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments. As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

How to open a pdf package in browser when multiple files are bound together.

Hi,
I have to open a pdf package in browser that contains multiple pdf files any suggestions will help me a lot.
Thanks.

It shows me a page says "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF package"

How can I set the submit button to email only certain pages of the pdf not the entire pdf?

We have a pdf that is a hundred pages or so where each page is an individual product that the customer can select for purchase. At the end of the pdf is an order form. We want to be able to email just the few pages which are the form as a pdf. The default function of the submit button is to email back the entire pdf. As there any way to just select whcih pages would be submitted?

The problem is for people not using an email client like Outlook. In the version of Reader my boss was using, you had to save the FDF file to your hard disk and then open your browser to go to your web based email and write an email and attach the file. In the newest version of Reader it will open a browser window and create a draft for you, but he thought it was to much work if people were using older versions of Reader. He was really looking for something straightforward where all they had to do is push a button and it was submitted.

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.

Can't Open PDF Package In Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3

Yesterday, I created a PDF Package of about 30 documents. When I attempt to open the package using Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3, I get the Data Execution Prevention pop-up message saying that the file cannot be opened. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?

Have not tried that yet. It was next on my schedule. I have another project that I'm working concurrently, but will have some time later today and will try that. Will post the results. Thanks for the suggestion.

Acrobat only converts the page that is displayed. How do I export/convert an entire PDF to word or exel?

I have some huge reports that need to be converted. This is not a one time thing.
When I try to export PDF to word, excel, or any format offered, it:
only saves the headers/footers.
If I select all; it only saves the page(s) displayed on screen
How can I convert an entire PDF to word or excel?
Auto-scrolling is on and that made sadly no difference.
There are too many pages to put it on 10% and view them all on one screen
Please help

Hi, sorry I should have put that in my original post.
Version: Acrobat XI
I tried multiple things which included:
Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ This saves a blank file ]
Select All --> Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ Saves only the page that is displayed on the monitor, the rest is all blank except header and footer ]
Select All --> File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
Select All --> File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
Tools --> Edit Text & Images --> Cannot Select All --> Export File To... [ Saves only what is displayed on the monitor ]
I'll edit and add to my original post if it lets me.

How to search in a pdf package via command line

How can I search a specific PDF file within a PDF package via the command line? Previously I have used the following code in VB6 to search a single PDF file successfully.
acroPath = String(128, " ") 'initialise this string
resultStatus = FindExecutable(pdfPath, vbNullString, acroPath)
acroPath = Replace(acroPath, vbNullChar, "") 'Get rid of the null character
acroPath = """" & Trim$(acroPath) & """"
cmdLineString = acroPath & " /n /A ""search=" & searchString & """ " & pdfPath
Call Shell(cmdLineString, vbNormalFocus)
I now receive this file as part of a PDF package, so how can I amend the command line to search the specific file within the package?
I only have Reader, not the full blown Acrobat version.

Sorry forgot to say that I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1 on Win XP SP2

Can I Link To Another File In A PDF Package?

In an effort to create an inexpensive linked technical manual, I put the manual and related systems manuals and drawings into a PDF Package. But I would like to be able to link between a page of the technical manual, and another manual or drawing within the package. Can I do that, and if so, how?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you other than to say it's a grim future for Spry. Adobe abandoned the framework late last year with no plans for future development with it.
