Command-A opens help in Bookmark Panel?

Why is it that, if I open the Bookmarks Panel, and the panel is empty (no bookmarks), and I hit Command-A on my keyboard, the Adobe Help program opens?
I'm trying to write an applescript in which any existing bookmarks are removed from a batch of PDFs. If I open a PDF that has bookmarks, open the Bookmarks Panel, and hit Command-A, it highlights all of the bookmarks for easy and swift deletion. But if there are no bookmarks, the Help program opens and screws up my script.
I know that I can strip out bookmarks in other ways, but I'm trying to write an all-in-one program for my company to do a series of tasks that can't easily be done using Acrobat's batch feature or javascript. This strange "feature" is really hindering my ability to do this in a logical way.

Really? That's just odd... Why do you need a keystroke to do the work of one key that already exists?
Thank you very much for pointing this out, it was driving me crazy. I can't find any documentation on the web about Command-A = F11, but I'll take your word for it since that is obviously what is happening. Your suggestion about creating a temporary bookmark first is a great idea! I will try that first thing tomorrow morning.
Thanks!

1 Bookmark of 100 others opens in the bookmark panel - fix ?

Using XP SP-3 with FF 30 now - After 29.0 update - when I click on one of my most used bookmarks - it opens in the bookmark panel unless I right click it to open in new tab or new window. If it opens in a new Window it opens in the proper way - No other bookmarks of 100+ do this - The Same bookmark does not open in another panel on other computer with Windows XP Pro and also 30.0. Odd !

To change the appearance of the toolbar area, there is indeed a very comprehensive add-on. This article has more information: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].

How to open pdf with bookmarks panel showing?

Hi all,
I have searched and had no luck. I found a helpful a post but it did not help in my case. I need my PDF that I created via LiveCycle to open with bookmarks panel showing. I tried (control+D) File > Properties >initial View but the features/options are all disabled.
The file is not passport protected and I created myself.
Any help/tip provided would be very much appreciated,
Adnan

Paul,
Thanks for your quick response. It works; however, it prompts to save changes even to file even if I make no changes to it.
I created a button to save changes (code below) but it still prompts.
app.execMenuItem('Save');Named: Action=SaveAs;
Thank you,
Adnan

No Bookmarks Appearing in the Bookmarks Panel When Exporting from InDesign

Hello,
I just recently upgraded to ID Creative Cloud, but have been using InDesign since CS2. I don't know if this a bug or if I don't have something set correctly, but when I export a document to PDF from InDesign and open up the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat XI, there are no bookmarks. Here are the settings I'm using (see below). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Were the bookmarks created in the Bookmarks panel or in the Table of Contents?
Have you tried restoring your InDesign preferences? Here's how:

Tell me how to make Ctrl-B open the bookmarks panel on the left side and NOT open Bing.

For years the Bookmarks panel on the left side would open when I press Ctrl-B. Now it opens Bing. How can I fix this?

Does the sidebar open correctly if you use View > Sidebar?
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
There aren't any extensions listed in the System Details List that could cause this, so I'm not sure why this would happen.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Are you sure that you aren't opening a specific bookmark in the sidebar?
Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).<br />
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

Bookmark panel will not open when I publish to our company intranet

Hi.
I created a pdf with bookmarks and set the pdf to properties to "open bookmark panel and page. The document works fine if I email it to someone but if I publish it to the web (our intranet), the bookmark panel will not appear. This happens to other co-workers when they launch the pdf from the web. We all have acrobat reader 9 and I checked the settings and they seem to be fine.
Also, I recently was updated to office 2010 and used word to create my documents. I understand there is a bit of a problem with Acrobat 9 and Word 2010 but I am not sure if this is what is causing my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Changed workspace from Essentials to Printing and Proofing and Layers panel came on - maybe I goofed and switched workspace - either way problem solved for now. thanks.

I can't get the bookmark panel to open in a pdf once published to our intranet

Hi.
I set a pdf file to open with bookmarks and page showing. When I upload it to a web site on our intranet, it will open on some computers but not all the time. It is really frustrating and I need to find a solution. Any suggestion? Is there another way to make sure the bookmark panel opens, even though I have set the Initial View to Bookmarks and Page?
Thanks,
Jeff

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

PDF Initial Browser doesn't open PDF with Bookmarks as initial view - Problem (Help)

I've saved a PDF with Initial view of Bookmarks panel and
page opn my client and it opens with the bookmarks. I publish the
file from my PC via Contribute and open it with my browser and it
opens in the pages view. NOTE: when i open the PDF in Contribute,
it opens with no special view.....

Hey Jacksoup --
I don't believe this is a "Contribute" issue at all. I'm having the same problem with a .PDF of my own that I've published to the Web and I'm not using that software.
I had one original .pdf file that had no bookmarks. Bookmarks were then added to the doc and resaved. On the new version I have the document's file properties set to open bookmarks on initial view. The document opens fine locally on my computer, but when I publish to the web (not using contribute), and then try to open the .pdf via hyperlink it opens in MSIE and the bookmarks do not appear on initial view. It's driving me crazy.
I'm wondering if this is some sort of adobe cache issue? Where it's opening the document like the original? Or if it's something to do with MSIE? I have already cleared my browser cache and I also updated my adobe acrobat preferences to NOT restore last view settings when opening documents.
I have tried adding #pagemode=Bookmarks to the end of the URL to the doc...
Everything I've read and researched on line tells me I have done all I can do. Are we just $#!+ out of luck here or what's the deal Adobe?
Thank you for your time!

How to prevent LV "New Open Help Config" panel displaying during TS?

what is the easiest way to prevent LV "New Open Help Config" panel displaying or being visible during TS execution?

Hi Stephen,
The first option you could look at is just to use the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine instead of the Development System as your LabVIEW adapter (Configure >> Adapters). This will not show the Getting Started window that pops open when you run a sequence that contains LabVIEW action steps.
The other option that you could look into is the window activation properties for each step found by right-clicking a step and selecting properties. Then select the Run Options tab and mess with the TestStand Activation Window drop down menu.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,

Bookmark Panel

Gentlemen,
I designed in InDesign CC 2014, an interactive catalogue with function "Open other files".
In the files that are opened there is a button with the command "Go to Previous View".
All files are exported as interactive PDF and saved to ownership Initial View: "Page and Bookmarks Panel".
The PDF works perfectly, except that when I press the button "Go to Previous View" going to the PDF view of the above, but with the view of "Page and Pages Panel", not with the "Bookmark Panel".
What can be done to return the proper PDF viewing the "Panel Bookmarks" ?.
Thank you very much for your help and greetings.
Carlos Guix

Initial view is, as the name says, just the initial view when opening the PDF. "Go to previous view" is only related to the page display, not bookmarks panel. In a test, and this might come out differently due to versions of Acrobat, my PDF opened with bookrmarks panel, as set for initial, with a button on page 2. Clicking the button took me back to the previous page and view, but the bookmarks panel was closed.
So it seems you can not control to open/close/keep the bookmarks panel by a button in the PDF.

Before updating to FF 4.0, when I close, it warned me that I was about to close multiple tabs IT ALSO gave me the choice to save all open tabs (not bookmark) so they would all open once I opened FF again. Where is it???

When I close - it does still tell me that I am about to close multiple tabs... but it no longer gives me the option to save open tabs, NOT bookmark, SAVE open tabs. That way, the next time I open Mozilla, all the open tabs from my previous session would open once again. 'Save Open Tabs' is GONE - it would be very helpful to have it back. I don't use it all the time, but it was much easier to save open tabs when I wasn't able to finish what I was doing instead of having to search through the previous days history to find what I need when I start my next session!!!

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Bookmarks Panel and Page Display

BACKGROUND:
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and now when I convert a Word2010 doc to PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro Create PDF. Once the file oepns in Acrobat, I then make the following changes:
File > Properties > Initial View >Navigation Tab (Set to Bookmarks Panel and Page) Page Layer (Set to Single Page Continuous)
Preferences are set to: Open cross-document links in same window; allow layer state to be set by user information; allow documents to hide the men bar, toolbars, and window controls.
PDF/A View Mode is sent to Only for PDF/A documents.
The only thing that I have done different is that I did open was Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES8.2 and tested converting a word document into a form last week. I then attempted to convert files from WORD2010 to Acrobat Pro 9 on Friday and say the problems. I am now also having problems with Adobe LiveCycle.
Attempted Resolution: Our Help Desk uninstalled and then re-installed Acrobat Pro 9 but that has not resolved the issue. They are recommending that they wipe my profile and build it again. I am hoping to avoid that and hope someone can help me with this issue.
System Information:
Version 9.0.0.2008061200
OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
Thanks for your assistance,

The Bookmark Panel to the left of the pdf is not displaying - I have checked everything (and double checked under preferences to ensure that under Documents > Open Settings > Restore last view settings when reopening documents is Not checked.)
Have reinstalled Acrobat and still am having issues. The only thing I did was open AcrobatLive and converted a doc to a fillable form - I am getting error messages with that now as well.

How do I programatically open a LabView Front panel?

I want to use a test stand variable (perhaps a sequence global) to control whether certain VIs open their front panels, and wait for subsequent operator interaction. Can I get there using the API and something like this: "Step_TSInfoProp.TSInfo_StepAdditions.LVStep_ModulePathProp" ?
I tried passing a boolean to the VI and then having it optionally open its own front panel using the VI Server, but I could not see it because it would always be behind the TestStand Window.

Sean, The reason for doing this is that the client wants a "debug level" control of some sort. If set below some value, the VIs just do their thing, take their measurements, report, or whatever and go on their way blindly as what we expect a good test sequence to do. However when this value is set above some level (the threshold may be different for various categories of tests) the VI becomes interactive. This would allow an operator to see a measured value, and possibly tinker with the instrument parameters or the UUT, before continuing on. This might be similar to a single step command, but not necessarily pausing at every step. Inside of the VI I can test the value of the variable (either passed in through the connector pane or via the sequence context) and thus decide whether to be interactive or silent. I can also use the VI server to open my front panel or not. But in doing so, even though I try to make the VI panel frontmost, it is hidden by Teststand. If the VI attribute is "dialog" then it does show up on top of everything else, but unfortunately does so even when I don't tell it to open at all.

Is there a way to set the default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on word documents that I save as PDF?

When I save my word 2013 documents as Adobe PDF I have to open the PDF up, go to File>Properties>Initial View>Navigation Tab and then set the initial view as Bookmark Panel and Page; it gets pretty tedious.
I use Save as Adobe PDF rather than Print to Adobe PDF Printer because I like being able to have the security settings automatically set.
I just want to be able to save my word document as Adobe PDF with the initial view already set as Bookmark Panel and Page, and with security, so I can send it out immediately.
Is this possible?
Thank you.
