Can you make a pdf accessible in any language?

I need to make accessibe pdfs in german, spansh and japanese. Is this possible? Also how do you get the read aloud function to work.
thanks

If I understand your first question correctly, you can set the Default Language in Document Properties - Advanced tab - near the bottom of the window under Reading Options. Any text that departs from the default language should be marked appropriately using the Language property of the associated container tag (in the Tags panel, right-click the tag, select Properties, then the Tag tab, set the Language).
Read Out Loud is on the View menu, at least in Acrobat X. You have to "Activate" it, then either "Read This Page Only" or "Read to End of Document". Please post a follow up if it is giving you trouble.
Hope this is helpful.

  • Can you make a PDF from multiple images open in Photoshop ?

    Lets say I have 4 images open  in different windows (or tabs) in Photoshop.
    Can I make ONE pdf file from those 4 images at one single stroke ?
    (I have PS CS4 EXTENDED)

    The answer is no, you would need Photoshop CS2 or CS3 to do this. This function was removed in Photoshop CS4 and CS5
    You can create the PDF in Bridge though.

  • Can you make a pdf a jpeg?

    Can a take my PDF file and turn it into a picture like a jpeg?

    Not with Adobe Reader no but it is possible.
    You would need Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.
    Alternately you can use Google to possibly find a free online conversion service.

  • Can you make a PDF that can display two languages?

    Hi, I have a need to display a PDF in two languages (I work in a hospital clinic). I want the computer to be able to display Spanish to the patient, and when the form is completed, turn the form back into English for printing so the output is readable by clerks (this form goes to people who aren't Spanish speaking for processing). I can provide both the Spanish and English versions of the form. Can this be done in real practice?
    thanks a lot guys

    Garcon's situation/request may be one where I'll be soon (I work for a medical center in a university setting), so this could be a useful thread. This Layers feature is new to me and sounds promising. However, my initial experience with implementing it has raised several usability issues (which may be due to my Acrobat version and my inexperience with this feature).
    First, you apparently can't import a foreign language (e.g., Esperanto) pdf as a layer into an English pdf and then set it so that you can only see Esperanto -- you can only toggle the Esperanto layer on or off with the English always on display. My work-around was to create a blank pdf and then import the English and Esperanto pdf file into layers. Then there's no way to set it with the default Acrobat controls so that if a user opens the file using Reader that only one of the layers is active (I don't know if it's possible with JavaScript).
    Second, if it's a multi-page document you will have to import each page separately for each language (some forms we translate into 7 different languages). That'll become tedious and also increases the risk for mistakes. Best approach here probably will be separate LanguageX/English files instead of one monster LanguageA/LanguageB/etc./English file.
    Finally, form fields can't be assigned/displayed by layer (using default Properties windows), nor will they import into a layer if your source pdf has form fields. Unless by some miracle the form fields all line up in the same spot (unlikely as one language we occassionlly translate into is Arabic), creating and positioning all the form fields may get tedious real quick. The sample form I was working with has almost 200 potential form fields across 3 pages.
    Any usability tips or links to using layers in forms will be appreciated.

  • Can you make an existing document into a .pdf file?

    can you make an existing document into a .pdf file? I used to use pdf factory before my system recovery. I do not want to reinstall that program. Can I do this in Acrobat Reader 7?

    Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

    Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
    You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
    Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
    Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
    If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
    If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
    Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

  • If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in the ibooks? the menu tap bar does not appear at the top of the screen like the new ipad2. Any suggestions?

    If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in ibooks? The menu bar does not pop up like it does on the ipad2. Any suggestions?

    Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

  • How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

    How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages)  with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

    Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
    You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

  • Can I make a PDF form that can be filled/saved in Illustrator/InDesign without Acrobat Pro?

    Can I make a PDF form that can be filled out and (more importantly saved) in Illustrator or InDesign without having to use Adobe Acrobat Pro?
    I only have Adobe Reader XI. Do I need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to make a PDF form that can be filled out and saved by others? or is it possible to do this solely through Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Adobe Reader?

    InDesign can export to a filable form, assuming you add the fields in InDesign (6/CC) and export as an interactive PDF. You can't create a form with Reader or Illustrator. You also can't Reader-enable with anything other than Acrobat, so Reader users will have to use version 11 in order to save a filled-in form.

  • Can you embed a PDF into a Captivate 8 project?

    Hi,
    Can you embed a PDF document into a captivate project?
    I know i shouldnt compare, but in Articulate Story Line, you are able to add 'resourses' into the project which sit alongside the eLearning to provide further reading.
    Can you do this in Captivate? but without it linking to an external sourse such as local or shared drive?
    Thanks
    Chris

    To tmpe222,
    I'm not a Cp expert, but it seems to me that there's no sense in simply trying to stick a pdf document in the Scorm package. What good would that do? The file would be in the package, but that doesn't mean it would be 'embedded in the project' in any meaningful sense of the term.
    I don't know of any way to embed a pdf document directly into a Cp project. But couldn't you simply convert the pdf file into an image (jpeg or gif)? This you could easily insert in your project. It would be inserted as a standard object. And then you could do all the nice things that you can do with any object: put it on slide to be accessed only if the participant wants to view it; use effects so that it enters nicely; add annotation . . . the sky's the limit.
    Does this help at all, or am I on the wrong track?
    Best regards,
    Marvin DuBois

  • Can I make a pdf with hyperlinks from Power Point using Acrobat ?

    I have a Power Point presentation which includes hyperlinks to websites. When I use the Power Point slide display they work.
    Can Acrobat make a pdf from Power Point which includes the hyperlinks ?
    Will the hyperlinks work when the pdf is displayed by Acrobat Reader?
    Thanks

    But I want the pages in the pdf shown spreadwise.
    In AcrobatPro you can set the initial document view of single pages as spreads via Page Layout: Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)

  • Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

    Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

    Hi sylvias99766822,
    You can if you have Acrobat. If you don't, feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Keep in mind, though, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a word processor. So, while you can make adjustments to text and graphics, if you need to do a major overhaul of the text in the document, it's best to go back to the source document and edit the content there.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?

    Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?
    If so how?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Not exactly ... while you can make a ringtone with any application that you would like, Soundtrack Pro 2 and Logic do not have a conversion to the ringtone format. Mv4R or something like that. GarageBand does.
    I answered my own question I guess
    Thanks anyway,
