Bookmarks in PDF files added to a portfolio

How can I preserve the bookmark displays from PDF files added to a portfolio in Acrobat Pro X? Portfolios in Acrobat 9 were able to do so. Some of the viewers of my portfolios will not find it intuitive to scroll through each file in order to see all contents - and may think the file is only 1 page.

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.

Acrobat 9.3.4 no longer finds bookmarked non-PDF files (and then launches assoc app)

I produce a documentation DVD consisting of a one-page PDF file of ~ 1400 bookmarks and a lot of content. The bookmarks point to the content on the DVD which includes pdf files as well as text, DOC, XLS, and other misc. file types, and a large number of html, swf, flv, .jpg, etc. files which make up 4 complete web sites. The web sites are entirely contained on the DVD (no extermal internet access is referenced or required)
Content is accessed by clicking a bookmark which simply opens the file (regardless of type.) Prior to Acrobat 9.3.4, appropriate warnings popped up for non-PDF files but if allowed by the user, the appropriate app was launched for the requested file.
Since applying 9.3.4, a "Launch File" warning box pops up showing the file name (which lacks a device) and when the warning's "Open" button is pressed, a Windows error appears with the message "Windows cannot find 'file.txt'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file.... ", and finally an Adobe Acrobat information box pops up and says "Could not open the file 'path/file.txt' ".
I have read and re-read about launching external apps, restricted urls and attachments, trust manager preferences, etc. etc. I've added the files to the privileged locations list under the enhanced security settings and on and on. It no longer works, yet I tested this DVD on several computers just last week and it worked fine. So, as a shot in the dark, I decided to fire up my laptop and test it there again.
Once on, the laptop immediately wanted to update about 12,000 software products but I politely said "No, wait until i test this out!" The test was successful and the DVD's pdf file worked great again! At that point I let the machine apply the Acrobat 9.3.4 update (and some uncountable number of Windows patches and fixes.) It's running a current version of Win7. After the reboot, i tried the DVD again (under Acrobat 9.3.4) and it failed as described above. Because of Win7 I was able to revert to acrobat 9.3.2 using System Restore. After doing that, the DVD worked again.
Most of our user's machines are either Macs or WinXP (current versions) and i haven't had time to figure out if you can even recover from this update under those OS's. (It says you cannot remove it from XP, however.) Regardless, even if i can do it for my laptop and get it working again, i cannot do it for all of our users.
So, my question is if i am not doing something wrong, how do i let someone at Adobe know this release is broken?? If i am doing something wrong on the other hand, what is it and how do i get this to work again??
Thanks all.

Thanks. I did submit a report at the site. I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
Thanks again.

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>

HTML link to bookmark in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf.
So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem?
Really appreciate any help.

Try %20 instead of spaces. HTML links are URL-encoded, and this is the usual translation of a single space, as for example can be seen in links in Google.
If it works, you can automatically convert the bookmark name to URL format with the function encodeURI ("Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape").

How to get the Bookmarks in pdf file by using pdf.js library

In my application i am using PDF.js library to view the pdf files. Now i want to fetch the bookmark details which was already set in the pdf page. How could i get the those bookmark details by using pdf.js library. is there any specific methods available in pdf.js library to get that?

Hi ShantamReddy,
I asked #pdfjs and we would need you to clarify what you mean by "bookmark"
This is where the bookmarks in a pdf are populated [https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/web/viewer.js#L1032] however you will have to customize what to do with them.
I hope this sheds some light on what you are trying to do.

Adober reader shows corrupted bookmarks of pdf files

after upgrading to Mavericks if I open a pdf file with Adobe Reader it will be opened but the bookmarks are somehow corrupted:
they are listed with a grey area besides it and with a big space to the next entry (see image).
How can this be fixed?
In previous Mac OS X version this wasn't a problem, but with Mavericks? .. seems like apple has changed something - and no one knows about it
Example with Acrobat Reader:
with Preview now the bookmarks are displayed (new in 10.9?) but otherwise scrolling through a pdf isn't as comfortable as with Adobe Reader:

As a follow to the above, the problem was related to a file transfer. The PDFs in question were being transfered from a Unix platform to a Windows Server. The transfer was defaulting to ASCII or Text and not binary. Apparently this was never an issue with older versions of Adobe Reader. Once the transfer was switched to binary, Reader X was able to view the files with no missing pages. Something was being stripped from the file that Reader X just didn't like.

Bookmarking a pdf file by reading excel file

Hi is it possible to bookmark a pdf by reading the excel in which details of bookmark like page numbers, bookmark level and bookmark name are available?
I want the code to be in Visual Basic 6.
Thanx

> Hi is it possible to bookmark a pdf by reading the excel in which details of bookmark like page numbers, bookmark level and bookmark name are available?
Yes. Look at the Acrobat JavaScript documentation. You can use the VB - JavaScript bridge.

Add bookmarks to pdf file using Excel VBA

Good morning -
I have, through internet searches, created an Excel macro that prints numerous workbooks to pdf, combines them into one file and prints that file. I have been searching for the last piece, which is adding bookmarks, but have not had any luck getting any of it to work. The following is the code that I am using to add the bookmarks -
Dim avdoc, pddoc, app As Object
Dim stFile As String
Dim btitle As Boolean
Dim PDBookmark As CAcroPDBookmark
stFile = "D:\Test\Test.pdf"
Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avdoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Set pddoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
pddoc.Open stFile
Set avdoc = pddoc.OpenAVDoc(stFile)
Set PDBookmark = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDBookmark", "")
app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Test Bookmark")
This code does insert a bookmark on the first page of the document. The bookmark title displays as Untitled instead of Test Bookmark as the code states. Can someone answer the following questions -
1. Why is the code not changing the bookmark from Untitled to Test Bookmark, and
2. How would I nodify the above code to go to a certain page then enter the bookmark.
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Good morning Reinhard -
Thanks you very much for the help. I implemented as follows:
1. app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.GetByTitle(pddoc, "Untitled")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Total Accessories / Hardgoods")
I added the "btitle =" due to it erroring out. However, when I step through the code and get to that line, I get the "Excel has encountered an error and needs to close" error. Is there a reference that I'm missing that you know of?
2. I was able to find the code to get to a specific page number and it is working great.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

PDF Portfolio only showing the first 32 pdf files in it.

Hello,
I have a pdf portfolio document which contains about 150 pdf-files. Opening this portfolio in Adobe Reader X on my iMac shows me perfectly all 150 files, no problems at all.
After installing Adobe Reader on my new iPad (3rd generation), synchronising the portfolio with iTunes, then for some strange reason, I can only see the 32 first files in that same portfolio.
I synced the portfolio to my iPhone4 and got the same problem there viewing it with Adobe Reader X (only 32 first files listed).
Later on today, I installed GoodReader on the iPad : opening the same portfolio gives me a splash-screen, saying that I have to "use Adobe Reader X for best experience"... I think this is
the build-in first page where some discussion in forums handle about... However after using "Manage Files" in GoodReader and selecting the portfolio, it extracted a folder containing all 150 files... nice job!!
However, I would like to use Adobe Reader X for this (for multiple reasons...).
Anybody experiencing same problem ? Some hints ? All ideas appreciated.
Kind regards
Filip

Creating bookmarks in a PDF file

I know that Adobe Acrobat Professional has the ability to create bookmarks in PDF files. Is there another maybe free solution that I could use to create bookmarks in PDF files? I need to be able to post PDF files on my web site that have bookmarks in them so that users can quickly go to a specific page.
Looking forward to alternatives that I may be able to use.

Aw man, I didn't know that. But you're right. It doesn't cause Save to be available and they don't show up in Acrobat Reader. That's lame.
I never looked into that before because I have Acrobat.

Split PDF Files by Bookmarks

Can anyone please let me know how do I split PDF Files by bookmark using Java Script.
I am making a Visual Basic utility to read the bookmarks in PDF Files and split them based on the bookmarks. I am able to split the PDF Files by using Arts PDF Split Pro. However since I am already using Adobe Standard, I would like to do it with Adobe itself.
Thus, I pay license for only one software and not two.
Thanks
Rahul

I couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. You should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

How do I insert a file into an existing portfolio?

I use a feature of Outlook 2010 to move an email message into an Adobe Portfolio. It all happens automatically once I tell Outlook to put it there. My issue is that I put one email msg into the wrong portfolio and want to move it to the proper portfolia. I was able to extract it from the improper portfolio but in so doing, it turned the email message into a pdf file. I do not know how to use Acrobat to add that pdf file to the proper portfolio. I tried combining the file with the portfolio but Acrobat extracted all of the emails from the portfolio as pdf files and then combined all files as a massive pdf file instead of adding it to the portfolio.
Can anyone tell me how to do this or what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ken

Thanks Lori. That worked to move the file into the correct portfolio as well as to display it in the layout index. My only quibble is that it does not keep it in date order and I was not able to see how to add the email information ( "To", "From", "Subject" and "Date") to the metadata so it would show up in the index. At least I have it in the correct portfolia now, so thanks for that.

Need to open existing .pdf files and add footer, then save files again

I would like to know how to go about opening a folder containing .pdf files, adding a footer to each file, then saving the file.
I wanted to check first and see if this would be possible and if so, how to go about doing so. Is this something that can be accomplished in a batch file?
We are using Acrobat 5.0 to create the .pdf, but I don't know if we need a newer version to accomplish what I am looking to do.
Thanks for any info you can give me.

Hi,
fwiw - Acrobat 5 (full) supported Batch Sequences.
The "facility" was provided as an add-on available on the installation media.
Be well...

How do I bookmark a pdf? How sort bookmarks in Firefox?

Since my browser is Firefox, not Safari, this may not be a question easily answered. But I need to bookmark a pdf file, and though the pulldown with correct info showed as usual, it did not appear on my Bookmarks list.
Also, many times I have followed the Firefox instructions for sorting bookmarks alphabetically, but I simply can't get that to work. Any suggestions?

This is a Pages forum and nothing to do with either Firefox or Safari, you will have to find an appropriate user group or Forum to answer your question.
