Create pdf with link to image library on shared server?

I want to create a pdf from an image library that's shared across a server by 20 mac users.
But I want the 'contact sheet' to include clickable links from the thumbnails within it, eg:
the user can double click and image and it will open in photoshop.
I've tried a few things via Acrobat pro and Bridge but nothing seems to match what I want.
Can anyone suggest anything?
cheers.

Creating PDF with links, one page of my PDF I cannot scroll or view, the PDF just jumps to the next page. Help!

Hi Forum,
I have created a 14 page PDF with Adobe Acrobat XI. When I try to view page 13 (scrolling or just clicking on the page in thumbnails) it skips over 13 to 14 or goes back to 12. This started after creating links in the PDF from the 2nd and 3rd pages to certain page views. Is there a maximum? Right now I have about 20 or so within the document. I have updated Adobe and restarted my machine. Same issue exists. Thanks!

Here is the link. I would download because (as you know already I'm sure) links dont work in the Google Drive viewer.
Thanks!

Creating PDFs with links for web searches

Hi everyone. That title is not exactly the problem I'm having, but it's a good start.
We have found that Firefox/IE/Chrome search our PDFs quite nicely, but when the link is clicked in the search results, all that happens is that the PDF opens to page 1. Users have to search again to find what they're looking for. Perhaps that is just how such a search is supposed to happen, but it seems that I've seen somewhere that a PDF opened to the page with the search term on it.
What can we add to the FrameMaker source files or the PDF (before it's posted to the web) to ensure that a search link takes the user precisely to the text being searched for? We're TCS3 with unstructured FM but might soon be, um, strongly encouraged to switch to the structured version.
I've looked through the FM and Acrobat forums for an answer, to no avail.
Thanks for the help!

> I wonder whether it's a limitation of the search engine, rather than FM or Acrobat.
That would be my guess. Search engines probably cannot search many PDFs in the raw at all (you don't have to turn on much security to turn a PDF binary into an encrypted mess). But if the PDF allows reading and/or printing, they can render the whole thing, and index what's displayed. The named destinations may not be recovered in that process, plus, you're not always assured that there will be an ND nearby everything you're indexing.
Adobe might even provide some APIs that would allow deeper linking into PDFs as a search result, but it may also be that few enough have useful NDs that it just isn't worth the bother to look. NDs inflate the size of the PDF, so many publishers don't turn them on (we don't, and probably won't, until we need deliberate deep linking).
If you want the info to be accessible like a web page, you multi-flow to HTML or a similar non-atomic format as well.

Creating PDF with links in Table of Contents

How do I convert a Word file (in which the page numbers in the Table of Contents are links to their corresponding headings) to a PDF file so that the page numbers in the Table of Contents are still liinks to their corresponding headings? I am working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Thanks!

Hmmm. I hadn't heard of this limitation. Indeed, http://www.pdfa.org/2011/08/pdfa-–-a-look-at-the-technical-side/ says "With regard to hyperlinks, the special ‘Link’ annotation type is permitted with or without activated ‘Appearance’. " Maybe this document is being generated with a different kind of annotation.

How to create small size PDFs with reasonable quality images?

Help me Obiwan Adobe!
There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
Thanks

If your PDF will be printed to any kind of quality requirement, it's best to stick with Adobe's own PDF tools for creation and slimming, rather than third-party.
Whatever choices you make for processing multiple PDFs, full Acrobat offers batch operations.
Depending on your clients' needs, you could consider providing several file sizes. For example, a small one with marginal graphic quality for email, and links to larger files of better quality. If bandwidth and download time are issues for clients, perhaps create a link from each marginal-quaity graphic in your small PDF to a single better-quality downloadable graphic.
An option for reducing file size instead of lowering resolution or using lossier compression, is to consider creating images with fewer bits-per-pixel. This would affect color more than detail. Just a thought.

A lot depends on the types of images you have and the resolution. You may be best adjusting the resolution first in InDesign and then creating the PDF. For the options in the export, you may have to ask in the ID forum since the export is an ID function. Printing to the Adobe PDF printer is the other that was suggested (I usually hear that the ID export is the best way to go, but I don't have ID to confirm). In printing to the Adobe PDF printer there are several options to consider -- one is the selection of the job settings to use. The default is Std that embeds all but the Adobe fonts and has a slightly lower graphics resolution than Press or Print settings. Also, in the advanced button of the Adobe PDF printer>layout (may vary with Acrobat version), select the Graphic>Print Quality and lower it. I use 300 dpi and several others recommend 600. The default is 1200 that is useless unless you are expecting folks to zoom to see fine details.
If you open the job settings Adobe PDF Settings>Default Settings (select one of the settings files - probably press or print, or try Std if you want) and check the graphic tab to see the resolution that will be used for the graphics. A combination of this resolution setting and the Print Quality should address your issues.

PDF with hyperlinks to images and other PDFs.

Hi, All.
I would like to create a small booklet with approximately 12 to 16 pages as a PDF document but wish to have images and text in the document set as hyperlinks so that they can launch other images and/or documents. In other words, a viewer could click on an image or text and then see an enlarged image open on the center of his computer screen or see another document open over the original PDF. This would work in a similar fashion to what one can do with interactive books on the iPad created with iBook Author.
The questions I have are:
Where can I find more material to read on how to create PDF with these features?
I have seen PDFs that open with an application on screen that makes them 'feel' more like a real magazine. They are not a typical Acrobat or similar PDF viewer but rather an application that 'flips' the pages in a similar manner to what one would do holding a real magazine. Is it possible to do this with the PDF documents launched by hyperlinks on my PDF document?
Can these hyperlinks open enlarged images in the center of the screen while the remaining area around the image (background) become darker to place emphasis on the image?
How can I learn more about these features and how to use them with Acrobat and PDF documents?
In case the information is relevant I am currently running Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.5.3 on a Mac.
This is sort of an urgent project so any help you can share will be very appreciated.
TIA,
Joe.

Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

Problem with Create PDF and linked data

Using Acrobat X standard.
I have a Word 2010 doc with links to Visio and Excel data.
When using the CreatePDF option from Word, I consistently get a prompt asking whether I want to update the linked data before creating pdf. I would like to either (1) turn this prompt off or (2) -- less preferable -- have the linked data always update without prompting.
Is thre a setting that would accomplish one of these two solutions?
Thanks,
Craig
PS. All settings in Word have been set such that data IS NOT updated when printing on a regular printer.

You can print to Adobe PDF.

Creating PDF with IMAGE using CFDOCUMENT TAG

Hi Guys,
I m facing problem while creating the PDF using CFDOCUMENT
tag.
Actually my clients want the IMAGEs in PDF document.
Problem is most of the images in JPG format and while I am
going to attach images in PDF document it takes lots of time for
creating PDF. In most of time it cause timeout.
I have try to convert images JPG to PNG, yes I some what
better performance than JPG format but still it is work for 20 - 25
images. In my case I want to attach normally 50-100 images in PDF
(sometimes it is more 200).
PLZ, Help me.. F1...F1...F1
thanks in advance
Pritesh

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

Issue opening .AI file with linked/embedded images in Illustrator 6

Received an Illustrator 16.x ai file with 6 Linked\embedded images. Opening in Illustrator 16.0.3 2 images are missing, but opening in Illustrator 15.1 opens them correctly. Illustrator 16.0.3 has warning "Could not find linked file “filename.png”. Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged". Illustrator 15.1 has warning "The file “filename.ai” was created by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.". When I open in Photoshop 12.1 and select Images only 4 images show. The two that are missing in ai. are not showing in Photoshop Images option tab, but are in Photoshop when I open the file using pages option tab. Any idea what is happening here and why Illustrator 15.1 opens fine, but Illustrator 16.0.3 cannot?
Thanks, Dale

Illustrator CS5 opens the PDF part of the file. Images are always embedded in that part, but you might not be able to edit all objects in it.
Illustrator CS6 will access the AI part of the file, where linked images are not embedded. You should ask for the images in order to edit the file.
