Bookmarks in online PDF
I have a very large PDF file which I want to put online. Since it's so large, I would like to have a link to the document open at a targeted bookmark. Is there anyway to specify this in a link? I am currently using Acrobat Pro 6.0. Any help would be a plus. Thanks
Any solution?
Good Luck.

Hi all,
I have a BI Publisher Layout Template composed by one data table inside two nested Repeating Section: one for month and one for year.
I want to define a bookmark for each month and each year for PDF output. Is it possible?
Thanks!I tried and i dont think for xpt we can keep bookmarks
because online report bulider is not that mcuh developed we can use them for charts and graphical reports and simple reports and if we want to handle the page and custom functions. as far as i know only alternative is rtf template. -
How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?
Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot. I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting. Window XP and Vista on my computers. I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem. thank you
Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum). -
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). -
Creating popup menus using bookmarks in acrobat pdf
Hi All,
I have a requirment to create a button called "Index" in a pdf.
When I click on that button it should show the popup menu and if I click any of the menuitem in that, it should take me to that particular page. I saw some of the interactive pdf's available on the web and they have this facility. I tried to incorporate this into my pdf, it shows the popup menu item correctly but not taking me to that particular page and throughs an error message.
itemIndex is not defined
3:AcroForm:Index:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
Below is the code I tried for your reference.
My question: Is there any way to populate this popup menu with the action to go to particular page, from the available bookmarks of a pdf?
Please help me. Thanks in advance.
var itemInedex = app.popUpMenu("Executive summary", "Why backups?", "Defining the data status (consistency)", "New disk technologies", "Understanding disaster recovery and restart and recovery", "Drawbacks with backups", "Backup in mainframe", "Schematic presentation", "For more information")
switch (itemIndex) {
case "Executive summary":
this.pageNum = 0
break
case "Why backups?":
this.pageNum = 3
break
case "Defining the data status (consistency)":
this.pageNum = 4
break
case "New disk technologies":
this.pageNum = 5
break
case "Understanding disaster recovery and restart and recovery":
this.pageNum = 6
break
case "Drawbacks with backups":
this.pageNum = 7
break
case "Backup in mainframe":
this.pageNum = 8
break
case "Schematic presentation":
this.pageNum = 9
break
case "For more information":
this.pageNum = 10
break

Muthuraj. DHi
Thanks a lot. I did not notice that .
Is there anyway to populate this popup menu item from the bookmark list? I did write these bookmarks and page numbers manually.

When I try to open a online pdf form, I get a error message to close the reader and try it again. Sometimes, the message does not come but what I see is just a BLACK screen in Mozilla.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Since our IT Department installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 on my computer, I have not been able to click on a PDF link on a web site and open it. When we click on the file, we get the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Since I'm using Acrobat 9, the error message is, well, erroneous. How do I solve the problem? The work around they came up with was to install Foxit Reader. Since I updated Acrobat 9 earlier today, I'm back to not being able to read online PDFs (which means that I have to reassociate Foxit with the files, unless someone here can tell me how to get Acrobat Pro to work.)Do you also have Reader on the machine? If so that might be the problem. If not, then do you have Acrobat set to view in the browser?

I then started a Web Case and haven't hear a word. Every time Create PDF Online inserts a red service alert, my heart almost stops because I know I am going to get into trouble.

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 BitNever 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. -
Hi!
Don´t know if I doing this to complex, but I would like to work in an online pdf, and be able to save data - and on open i load the xml file.
flow
1) start form - lets say it has 10 fields
2) fill out 5 fields and save data - export/submit it to a script that can save an xml on webserver
3) on open, the pdf form opens with data. Could also be that an xdp was uploaded, which had a ref to pdf.
Is there a better way - come with your surgetions! I would like the server-site script to be PHP, which a have a little experince with..
Look forward to those clever ideas :)
Thomas Groenbaek - DenmarkNo, you have to do it by creating duplicate and then renaming. In the Documents list, tap the Edit button, select the file, and tap the "Duplicate selected document" icon at the top, second from the left.
To rename: Edit > select file > Rename (icon to the left of the trash can) -

Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
Why doesn't Adobe Reader XI load when viewing online PDFs?
This is probably a stupid question, but I noticed something odd last night. I have Adobe Reader 9 on my netbook and Adobe Reader XI on my main computer. I had been browsing some online PDF files on my netbook, and in Adobe Reader 9 I get the Reader "interface", i.e., there is the border surrounding the PDF, with the page number box at the top and I can search the document for various things. On my main computer with Adobe Reader XI, the PDF files are simply downloading and I don't have the Reader "interface" anymore, so there's no way to search for items or go to specific pages. Is there someplace to edit my settings in XI so that I get the interface? Thanks so much for your help.

when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?
This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify. -
Linking to a bookmark in a PDF File
Hello All,
In our Web project, we have a .PDF which opens when the user
clicks on the appropriate link. Is it possible to modify the link
so the PDF opens at a specific location. For other purposes, we
have inserted bookmarks in the PDF using Adobe 7.0 Professional.
I suspect, although not sure, we could have the RoboHelp link
point to a Redirect topic. However, I am not sure if we could
insert a Shortcut control and have it function in a Web Help
format. If not, what other alternatives are available. If a
Shortcut control is possible how do I identify the PDF bookmark in
the Program Parameters.
Cheers,
CROI tried the Google search and a lot of other things. No
complete success, but . . .
RoboHelp for Word will reliably generate a link to a pdf file
that opens the file at the top (ditto Robohelp for HTML). I.e., the
source .doc has
mytext!JumpHtml('C:/aFile.pdf')
in it. Then if you create a WebHelp file, the .htm file has
<a href="C:/aFile.pdf">mytext</a>
in it. It works. However, Robohelp does not seem to offer the
ability to specify a nameddest, i.e., a defined place anywhere in
the .pdf. You can type a nameddest into the souce .doc, i.e.,
selText!JumpHtml('C:/aFile.pdf#nameddest=sheep')
but then the WebHelp .htm has no corresponding href in it at
all. (But it works for WinHelp output, see below.) If you don't put
the nameddest in the source .doc, and instead yourself insert it
into the output WebHelp .htm, i.e.:
<a
href="C:/aFile.pdf#nameddest=sheep">selText</a>
then naturally it works. The runtime hotlink jumps to the
desired place inside the .pdf. So, there's one way to do it.
However, having to hand enter the link in the .htm is suboptimal -
RoboHelp *should* automate it.
One wrinkle is, if you hand enter the nameddest in the source
.doc, and then generate a WinHelp output (instead of WebHelp), that
seems to work as desired, provided you include the .pdf in the
baggage files and enable the special included .dll. So there's a
WinHelp solution that at least lets you enter the nameddest in the
source file, but it doesn't work for WebHelp. That difference makes
me think I'm missing some setup parameter.
