Copy PDF within Portfolio

Feature Request: Copy PDF within Portfolio
Within an Acrobat Portfolio, you cannot select a PDF, drag the selection with the CTRL, and have Acrobat make a copy of the PDF. The "copy" and "paste" are grey when a PDF is selected. Often I want to make a copy of a PDF and make numerous modifications to the copy. Currently, I have to export the original PDF, and then import it again with a different name to make a copy in the Portfolio. I hope you can add this feature. Thanks

With Adobe Reader you can copy data, but to create a new PDF with the copied data you need Acrobat or http://createpdf.acrobat.com/

Cross-linking to other pdfs within portfolio

Does anyone know how I can make a link to point to an individual pdf file within a portfolio that is separate from the pdf file that's linking to it, also in the same portfolio?
I have a Portfolio containing 1) a folder of individual pdf files and 2) another folder containing a huge monster pdf.
I would like to link from the monster to the individual files so that someone using it can open up one file at a time via the monster - but can't seem to do this using just the portfolio.
On my desktop on my Mac, I have a folder that contains the monster folder, the individual files folder, and the portfolio itself.
But creating links on the monster to the individual has to be done within the monster pdf and then uploaded to the portfolio, right?
Making a link to go to a page view or to open a file requires me to point to the individual pdf file within the folder on my desktop and not in the portfolio. Unless I'm totally missing something.
I could include the folder of individual files separately along with the portfolio, but that defeats the whole purpose of including everything into the portfolio.
Anyone have experience doing something similar?
I am using Acrobat Pro 9 for mac.
Thanks in advance!

To edit a member document inside a Portfolio you have to open it (using the Open File link on the toolbar) - when it's previewing on a card you are just looking at a JPEG image.
It's all rather messy but Adobe don't allow access to the regular tools if the Portfolio mode is active, so..
Open your Portfolio
Open the file in which the link is to be created (right-click the card or use the toolbar button)
Use the Link tool to draw the active area
Select "go to a Page View" and click OK.
While the mini-dialog is active, switch back to the window with the Portfolio in it.
Open the destination file (again with the right-click or toolbar button).
Choose the page and click to fire the Link tool's mini-dialog.
Close the target file.
Save and close the source file.
Save the Portfolio.
If you're doing hundreds of links, set aside a week.

URL to open an inner PDF within PDF portfolio

Can we open specific inner PDF within PDF portfolio by using URL, like http://www.myserver.com/files/myPDFportfolio.pdf?inner=adc.pdf ?
Imagine a PDF portfolio that includes following multiples files in it.
mytest.pdf
abc.pdf
test.xls
test2.doc
What I want to do is i) click the URL, ii) then open abc.pdf (reside in the PDF portfolio).
Also this URL can be dynamic so that I can create multiple URLs to open each inner files.
Any thoughts?
Thx,
Keishichi

You can't specify embedded files via URL. There are PDF actions of type GoToE that can open embedded files, however. So inside the PDF you can do this.

HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
Thanks in advance!!

I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
Thank you!

Is there a way to create a PDF within a PDF?

Hi!
I am creating a PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The group that I am creating this form for would like to have their customers fill out the form itself but then also have a form that is attached to the original form where the users would give more detailed information or fill out a chart. They would then like the original PDF form along with the attached PDF form to be emailed to them. Is the PDF within a PDF possible? I know you can attach a file as a comment (though for some reason it is not working now - I don't know if it is because my form is now a dynamic PDF) but I don't know if you can attach a file another way then be able to update and save it.
Thanks~
Jodi

It almost sounds like you are trying to do forms in a package format (needs at least AA8 on the user end). You might find a useful example at grants.gov in terms of one of the submission packages. I think you can download those (I generally get them from our contracting office). The basic package had several forms embedded already and there was an option to add more - sure sounds like what you want to do. Whether you need to create such a package in Acrobat or Designer is not something I can answer. Good luck.

Getting an error while copying pdf file into RMS enabled document library using copyTo() method

In SharePoint 2010, I am trying to copy pdf file programmatically from a non-RMS protected document library into RMS protected library using copyTo() method.
But I am getting an error while doing so. it gives error as mentioned below -
This library does not accept files of the given type. You must either upload a
new, unprotected file that supports rights management or re-upload a document
that was previously downloaded from this library.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,

Are You sure that you have give 'PDF' in caps in your program? and check whether you are getting all the datas before calling the method.
in my program, i have used like this and it is working fine for me,
I am getting PDF content from the form...
DATA ls_formoutput     TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA pdf_content        TYPE solix_tab.
DATA lp_pdf_size        TYPE so_obj_len.
DATA lv_mail_title      TYPE so_obj_des.
*Attach the PDF .
      lp_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( ls_formoutput-pdf ).
      pdf_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix(
          ip_xstring = ls_formoutput-pdf ).
      document->add_attachment(
        i_attachment_type     = 'PDF'
        i_att_content_hex     = pdf_content
        i_attachment_size     = lp_pdf_size
        i_attachment_subject = lv_mail_title ) .

Adding attachments to PDF within ISR and possibly link to BDS in ESS

I have a requirement where the user needs to attach documentation to a request (ISR) for approval. From my research on this forum I see that currently SAP does not support attachments in a PDF within ISR as only a small subset of the xml data to render the form is actually saved as part of the request. A person has the ability to add attachments to the form in the process but once the form is recalled from the work list and displayed the attachements are missing.

Hello Guys,
We are using Adobe forms with ISR framework and facing problems attaching the files from within the PDF ; using the paper clip icon.
Once the files are attached to the PDF form and the form is submitted, attachment disappears from the Form . Instead we have to use a "Attachment Manager" on UWL to attach the files. It is quite Confusing to have a "Paper Clip" button inside the form and also a attachment manager on UWL.
If anyone faced similiar issue and has solution to fix this, please let me know.
We are on ECC6 with component SAP_BASIS - 701- 006- SAPKB70106.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sandy

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

How to open a PDF within a PDF viewer embedded in a html page

Hi. I'm trying to modify a jsp that opens a runtime generated pdf. Originally, the pdf is opened by prompting the Adobe Reader program, but now I need to open the pdf within the jsp (which also have other content, not just display the pdf). I tried to embed the pdf in an iframe (similar to this: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/iframe-pdf.html ), but not works, it still prompts the Adobe Reader program. Actually the pdf content is generated on runtime and output through a servlet's output stream (this servlet is written by someone already left), what i did is try to open this servlet url in an iframe. If the iframe src is really a pdf file, it really works. But now the url is a servlet that output a pdf, is there anything special needed to do in the servlet in order to fulfill my requirement?

i'm a bit confused...sounds like you don't like the adobe reader welcome screen poping up....or perhaps even the quick buttons that would surround the document. i believe these are unavoidable.
It also sounds like you have a servlet that returns a application/pdf mime type. ( or is at least capable of) you should be able to mark that as the source of your iframe and have no issues. i personally don't use a servlet...i use a jsp...its very easy...here's the code:
<%
     response.setContentType("application/pdf");
     MyDataBean db = new MyDataBean();
     try {
          /* pass parameters and outstream for return */
          db.generatePDFFile( request, response.getOutputStream());
     } catch ( Exception e ) {
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          out.print( "there was a problem with your request..." );
%>gl, hope that helps.

I'm running XI Pro and since returning from Xmas break have had difficulty copying pdfs from incoming emails into a folder on my computer. They eirther don't copy across, random pdfs display or Copy & Replace message appears when there are no pdfs in view.

Hello Charles,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Prowas running slowly. I found a couple of articles I recommend to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue.
I recommend reviewing this article first for possible causes of the slowness:

You can further isolate the issue by determining if it is only happening in your user account or if it is happening system-wide:

How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

Error opening PDF within Workbench

Hello,
We are on SAP MII 12.1.7 build 47 (SP07 patch 02)
I created a simple transaction to create PDF and stored under default web folder. The transaction runs fine, the PDF gets saved but when I try to open it within workbench I get following error
Files of this type cannot be loaded in the workbench, just imported and deleted
I tried saving both using
db://
and
web://
but when export the same PDF to my desktop i can open it properly and also contains needs data.
So, is it not allowed to open PDF within Workbench? or am I missing something here?
Please suggest
Regards,
Adarsh

You are correct - the workbench does not open PDF files (they can't be edited there anyhow).
If you want to see it then just use the relevant http path in your browser like any other web page.
