Creating a basic list portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.2 and higher

All,
I am trying to create a basic portfolio in Adobe Acrobate Pro X 10.1.2; however, I only have the following layouts available:
Click-Through
Freeform
Grid
Linear
Wave
None of these layouts seem practical. I just need a standard list portfolio, similiar to the "list with file preview" layout available in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. Is there a similar list portfolio available in later versions of Adobe that I am just not aware about? I really don't want to have go looking for a custom-portfolio to download.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
To be complete on this, first make sure JavaScript is enabled:
Edit > Preferences, JavaScript category
Check "Enable Acrobat JavaScript".
To open the console, you can hit ctrl-J.
-Or- to use a tool button to open the console, do the following:
1. If Javascript is not listed in the Tools pane, show the JavaScript panel heading by selecting the following menu item:
View > Tools > JavaScript
2. Click the arrow on the JavaScript heading to show the tools beneath it.
3. Click "JavaScript debugger". to show the JavaScript console/debugger.
Regards,
Charlene

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13. I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight. I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

Removing digital signatures created in a previous version of adobe acrobat pro

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro, which required the removal of my previous version (8 Pro). I have several PDF docs created in (8 pro) with signature fields. I reuse these docs inputting updated info. When I do I clear the signature field, and place a new signature. After installed (X Pro) I can no longer clear the signature fields to place an updated signature. I am assuming that the new installation deleted my old signature ID that I created with (8 pro). Is there any way to clear my old signatures?

I don't think it should have deleted the digital ID file, so if you can find it you should be able to add it in Acrobat. Seach you system for any .pfx files to see if you can find it. See this previous thread for some potentially helpful info: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/991314
In the future, be sure to keep a backup of any digital ID files you have.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - Installs in Slovenian and Not In English Even Though English Selected At Inst

Hello:
I have downloaded, installed, opened, closed, removed, cleaned registry and reinstalled Acrobat Pro XI three times and each time it installs in Slovenian and not ENGLISH (North American). English was the language that I down loaded from the Adobe website and it was the language that was clearly selected for the INSTALL. Unfortunately, it always loads Slovenian. Is there a registry hack or some simple way to change the language to ENGLISH (North American), since I cannot read Slovenian?
Thanks!
Doug

Hi dshuck,
Please let us know if you are using Windows or Mac. If you are using Mac then you can try this step to fix the issue
Open System Preferences.
Choose View > Language & Region or click the Language & Region icon.
In the Languages pane, remove all other language leaving English (US). If you don't see your language, click the Add Language button.

CS4 Created Text Grainy When Converted to Adobe Acrobat Pro

This is a beginner's question. In Photoshop CS4 I'm creating what I believe to be relatively high resolution text, 4000 pixels/inch. One of the fonts is not commonly installed on user PCs so I have to rasterize the text. I want the background to be transparent so I apparently have to save as a PNG image. I'm inserting this image into a PowerPoint slide then creating a PDF of this slide using Adobe Pro 9.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
AJ

First of all, I have to eliminate printing to PDF, because it doesn't
preserve my bookmarks, and that is not acceptible.
I have disabled the Adobe COM plugin for Word 2007 and used Microsoft's
built-in Save As PDF functionality, which results in the form data
disappearing. I have enabled the Adobe COM plugin for Word 2007, and did a
Save As Adobe PDF resulting in the same problem. I opened Adobe and created
a PDF from the Word 2007 document, and the same issue occurs.

I created several pdfs & saved them in adobe acrobat pro. I want to start all over & want to delete these pdfs so I am not confused with more than one document with similar titles. How do I delete the document

I am working on a big project & creating everything in word. I then am turning the documents into PDF format so they will be easy for everyone to open. I have several PDFs that are not the way I want them & want to delete them so I don't have so many documents with similar names. Is there a way to delete a pdf from my saved document?? This is probably very simple & I am over thinking it, but appreciate any help.

I was able to figure it out, & just as I thought way to simple! UGH!

Why barcode works in Adobe Acrobat Pro but become "grey" in Adboe Reader ?

I have created a form with barcode using Adobe Acrobat Pro with ONE field only and it works prefect.
However, the barcode area become grey if I using Adobe "Reader" to fill-in data! I have tried to increase the size of the barcode area but still don't work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Danny

Hi everyone,
Any solution to this issue? Is there any cheap Adobe or third party component that enable us to design pdf forms with either livecycle designer or acrobat and provide dynamic barcode functionality for the end users having adobe reader?

How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like? Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase. I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
1. After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below. Why?
2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
   This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
File
> Create
   > PDF from scanner
     > Custom scan
       > Color Mode: Black and White
       > Append to existing file
         > Browse
           > Select file
             > Scan
This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan. Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option. Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance). Please assist.
3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
   Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
3a See Error. Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White. Why?
3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product? The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product. Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online. I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options? Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities? Even after clicking "Ready to contact us? Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them. Regardless, please advise. Thanks!

I have a license to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - can I use it in the mobile app?

Hi!
I recently bought the license to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for my computer and now I want to extend my possibilites with the mobile app. Is it possible in some way to use the bought license in the mobile app? Because I'm requested to buy additional packages when I for example wants to export a pdf?
Thanks!
Mikael Damar

Hi Mikael,
I am can understand your concern & will guide you in the right direction. Can please let me know if you have a subscription for Adobe Acrobat DC Pro or its a Perpetual licence?
As with perpetual licence you won't be able to use the extended functionality on the mobile app. by using the same licence and it will prompt you for the additional package. However if its a subscription you just need to simply Sign In to the mobile app. using your Adobe ID with which you serialized the Acrobat DC Pro on the computer to use these functionality.

Aadesh
