Convert pages to pdf - Contents Page

Hi Everyone,
I have just been using the discussion threads to add a contents page to my pages document (Thanks! These were very helpful).
When I am in pages, the contents page has page numbers that become links to those pages and I am able to quickly use the contents page to jump to any section.
Once I converted my document to a PDF, the contents page lost its ability to 'click and jump' to a certain section, and rather just became a text list.
Is there any way to keep this active once it is converted to a PDF? If not, if there something other than a contents page that will accompolish the same outcome (Eg the ability to create a hyperlink to a page within the same text)?
Thanks
Shazle

How to add page numbers to a PDF in Adobe but maintain the ability to convert to a PDF/A

I have an PDF in adobe that I am able to convert into an adobe PDF/A document. However, when I use the header/footer option to add page numbers to the document it is no longer able to convert to a PDF/A document. How can I add page numbers and still be able to convert the document to a PDF/A?

The report says:

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.

Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

Question
firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

How do I convert pages documents into a pdf format?

Many of the poster layouts do not save well as a ".doc" document. The formating gets all screwy. I have only the "pages" option or the ".doc" option for files under the "save as" dropdown. No professional printing services in my area offer the ability to print pages documents. They all recommended converting them to pdf. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Joe.

In OSX you can print anything to pdf ( see PDF button at bottom left of print dialog).
Pages also exports to pdf Menu > File > Export > PDF
However be aware that OSX will convert any transparent objects to low res 72 dpi bitmaps which are not suitable for commercial printers. Also it takes quite a bit of work to ensure that text is not in cmyk.

Problem with page size when converting spool to PDF

I have a SmartForm invoice which is formatted perfectly when I print it using the printer options specified when I open the form. However, when I send the output to spool, convert it to PDF using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, then print to the same printer, the format is not correct.
The PDF generation feature treats the page (standard letter size, portrait) as too large and shrinks the output to fit the page. It scales the entire invoice down by about 1/4 inch, which throws off our mailing envelope. If I change the page scaling option of Adobe Reader to 'None', my invoice is scrunched up into the top left corner of the page.
My page format is LETTER Portrait.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Page Size when converting .docx to pdf

I am having an issue converting .docx to pdf. I am using a custom page size in word 2007 and saving it, but when i convert to pdf it uses the default 8"/11" format. I have seen it done, but can't get it to work consistently. I am using acrobat 8 pro. Can anyone help?

What OS? Have you tried to make a custom page size for the Acrobat PDF printer drive?

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix it? I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint. Thanks.

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

PSE12: How to create gridlines on the image page then converted into a pdf? [was: N276]

I want to download an image from the internet, for example, batman, create gridlines on the image page then converted into a pdf. where on adobe photo shop element 12 can I do this.

On way is to define a pattern:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/875370?tstart=0
Another way is this neat free grid generator filter:
http://www.richardrosenman.com/software/downloads/
1. Add a blank layer above the picture layer, fill with white, and set Blend Mode to Multiply.
2. Apply the filter. There are many options. Here I chose black lines on white background with 20 square boxes across. Note that the background should be pure white (255,255,255) so as not to change the original picture.
You can also find lots of grid images on the Internet, for example a Google search on "grid" or "grid paper". As in the previous method, add this image above your picture and set its Blend Mode to Multiply. Again, the background should be pure white.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

Page Size When Converting TIFF to PDF

In my work I download documents from a website where you can only view and save them as TIFF images. The documents are scanned images of typewritten instruments filed with the county clerk. When saved as TIFFs, the documents are of varying sizes. After I save them as TIFF files, I convert to pdf using select (often multiple files at once), then right click "Convert to Adobe PDF." The files convert to pdf without a problem, except they are of many different page sizes, depending upon the size of the TIFF file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard (Windows 7 on a PC). Is there a way to set it up so when I convert from TIFF to pdf, it will come out as a standard page size, such as legal 8.5x14? I know that I can convert, then print using the Adobe PDF printer, but that just adds another step.
Would the answer be different if I were using Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat XI? Thanks.

TIFF files contain a page size, and when converted to PDFs, the page size from the TIFF is used.
So you need to fix it in the TIFF before conversion or the PDF after conversion. I think the TIFF will probably be a better, easier and cheaper place to fix it.

Converting Pages PostScript file to PDF

Can someone with a similar setup test this Pages PS file technique out and see if you can do it?
This was a tip from a Pages User/Blogger, as a way to get truer color printing of a Pages doc when moving it from the 3-color screen version to a four color commercial printer. He suggested saving the Pages file as Postscript, and then using Apple Preview, open and convert the Postscript to a PDF. I can't open the PS file with Preview, and it fails in the conversion to PDF. I get an error message: couldn't convert to a PDF/Couldn't open the file.
I contacted the Blogger; he was surprised it fails, given the long time use of PS and PDF files. He suggested that I ask someone with a set-up similar to mine to try this, and help me determine if it's my computer or the software that's failing (or me!). I'm working on a G-5, with OS 10.4.8, and Pages 2.02.
(Note, I've also tried doing this through Adobe Distiller, and that doesn't work either. That it fails in Preview seems to say to me that it's not just a problem with the version or settings in Adobe PRo/Distiller, but perhaps with Pages?).
Thanks!

It turned out that my two posted issues were related. The table on page one that was raising havoc with header and footers was also causing the PS to PDF conversion problems as well. I still have to resolve the table issue, but at least you helped me recognize where the printing issue was coming from!

IBook converting periods on PDF formatted pages into question marks

Can someone tell me why iBook is converting periods on PDF formatted pages into question marks in the search function?

You might try different apps for producing the pdf and see if there is any difference.
But only Apple can change how iBooks behaves. You can tell them about the problem at
