Creating an acrobat Website

I know there are better ways to go about creating a website, however, I am a mere animator and have no web training. I did once create a cd portfolio for a class with links and buttons to other pages. I have set up a series of .gif images that compose my website. I brought them into acrobat to create the buttons and link them up. This is where I get stuck, if i save as an htm or html it comes up as a long document that is basically all my pages on top of each other and the links don't work. Is there another way to save it out to preserve the links and have it start on the home page? Or am I out of luck and should I just hire a web designer to slice it and link it properly in dreamweaver or something?

Acrobat isn't a tool for assembling a web site in this way. You are
using tools designed to try to get some meaning out of a PDF if
possible, absolutely not a tool for creating an interactive web site.
Adobe's tool for web site design is indeed DreamWeaver. This is a high
end tool, there are much simpler entry level ones (but not from
Adobe). Or you could write the HTML, it isn't that hard.
I recommend you get a few books on web design. Yes, designing a
complex interactive site is a job for a professional, but at the entry
level it is reasonably accessible.

  • Previewing a pdf document created by Acrobat 5.0 in IE 7

    I have a document converted to pdf format by Adobe Acrobat 5.0 that needs to be accessible for viewing and download from a web page.  I got it uploaded to the website and there is a link to the file on the website's home page.  I have Adobe Reader 9.1 on my computer.  When I go to open the document that I created using Acrobat 5 by clicking on the link for it, a box comes up telling me that I "need Adobe Acrobart/Reader 8 or 9 to view the document in a web browser".  My Windows XP system's Folder Options are set up to open files with a pdf extension using Adobe Reader 9.1.  Yet, when I try to access a pdf from my website I get the aforementioned error message and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 opens up, and with nothing displayed.  Has anyone experienced this, or know of a fix.... or what I may have done wrong in building the document or configured my web browser, Windows Internet Explorer 7?  -- Chessgeek

    Have you checked your preferences (Edit>Preferences>Page display) and made sure that "display large images" is checked?

  • What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9?

    What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9? I want to use my form as a job ticket but want to know what levels of adobe reader are needed for the end users to be able to fill out & submit the forms without any problems.

    Reader 7 and higher should be able to fill out forms and submit if the pdf format allows Reader 7 to fill out the form. However, without problems is a different issue. Submission of forms via email is ALWAYS a problem. It is always better to post the form on a website and have the form filled out on the web and have the data stored or sent to a database for further action.

  • 'Malformed xref' when creating in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I used a perl-based reader on a server to distribute PDFs from a website -- this has always worked, but any PDFs created with Acrobat 9 are not readable by the perl readers.
    I get "Malformed xref" error.
    I used the SAME file & saved in both 8 & 9.
    In 8, there's a chunk like this, which is missing in 9:
    xref

    Can anyone shed some light?

    I'm not familiar with PDF at all -- I've tried two different Perl packages: PDF::API2 and CAM::PDF. These have always worked great, but are choking on files from Acrobat 9 due to "malformed xref."
    Here are the 2 files (same file, saved in different Acrobat versions):
    http://www.danrichman.com/wwrea.pdf
    http://www.danrichman.com/wwrea_v8.pdf
    If you look at the raw files, that xref table is near the top of the "v8" file but nonexistent in the v9 file. I'm guessing this is what the Perl readers don't like.

  • Preserving PDF links and actions created in Acrobat after editing in Illustrator

    I created an interactive PDF in Acrobat from an Illustrator file saved as a PDF.  It's basically an interactive prototype that simulates dropdown menus, highlighted selections and navigation between screens.  Using the Link Tool, I set layers to appear through the layer visibility action, and certain layers to toggle through javascript.  Since the prototype is evolving, however, I have to periodically make minor edits to it in Illustrator.  Once I make an edit and save the PDF again, when I open up the saved document in Acrobat, all the link tool actions are gone.  This is highly frustrating because most of the edits take just a minute or two in Illustrator, but I have to re-create all the links in Acrobat when I'm done, which takes a very long time.  How can I make minor edits in Illustrator while preserving the action elements I created in Acrobat?

    Well, that's a bummer.  It's so close to a feasible workflow for generating quick early-stage prototypes that you can continue to work on. 
    Thanks for the info.

  • Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

    Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with  Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

    Hello Sanjit,
    thank you for replying.
    I had the problem on this website, I have two forms, one simple and the other more sofisticated:
    www.oeso.org
    (at the bottom I have a simple contact form) and
    I created also a form on www.oeso.org/new-membership.html
    but i didn't receive any reply so
    I put the form on my website (architecturevisualdesign.ch) in a hidden form:
    http://architecturevisualdesign.ch/oeso-new-membership.html
    and here I receive the OESO New Membership Form Submission reply.
    Thank you for your help.

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In

    Hello everyone,
    I am Looking  for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In.
    The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube  Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into  the PDF file.
    Many  have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will  violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size  of the PDF file considerably.
    If there are any Programmers out there that  would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I  believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really  like to have.
    The  programming goals for the project would be as follows:
    1.  Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would  allow you to easily embed content into any PDF. The content must be PC & Mac Playable within the Latest Version Reader.*
    2. The "Embed  Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed  codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an  "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.   This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads,  etc.. "anything with embed codes."
    3. You would be able to select  an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able see a preview of the content, then be able to  resize the content window. if it resizable like YouTube Files.
    4. You need to be able to "Add" to the defined the "Trusted Source" from the Emebed Code information so that it does not require every instance of the content loading to require the user to select "Allow" each time it loads.
    The  Market for this is as follows:
    - Web Based Magazine Creation, that turn into  Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. This process  would easily allow anyone to create interactive content, with ads and  multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher with no need for Flash  Programming Skills which is currently what is needed to achieve much of this process.
    - Educational Institutions that want to create  lesson materials with Web Content.
    - Business's that wish to  share media elements from the web within PDF presentations and Business Materials, such as training materials, Marketing Research, etc..
    If you need  examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it  further.
    I have a project that I am working on that needs this type of functionality and the deadline is approaching so I am seeking any and all help  I can find to reach my goal. This Plug could also be a plug in to Indesign as well. Whatever it will take to reach the desired goal.
    Thanks  for your assistance.

  • Form created in Acrobat Pro 8 not editable in Acrobat Pro XI

    I created several forms in Acrobat Pro 8, using LiveCycle Designer. I upgraded to Acrobat XI a few days ago when I learned it was unstable under Windows 7. I am now finding I cannot edit my existing forms in Acrobat Pro XI because it doesn't include LiveCycle Designer. This has apparently been moved into a separate product that will cost me another $300. Moreover, I can't seem to save my existing forms at Word documents to re-import them into Acrobat XI, so I can re-create the forms from scratch. I suppose I could print and scan them, but that will result in a less legible form.
    This loss of functionality and cross-compatibility between versions is disturbing. I feel I have just paid $200 to get less functionality than I had before.
    It also appears that the most expedient method for creating new forms in Acrobat XI is to upload them to FormsCentral. I am reluctant to upload these to a third-party server, and resent being required to do so in order to maintain any functionality.
    Is this an ill-planned marketing strategy to get people to buy another software package (which isn't happening in my case), or is there some work-around I am not seeing here?

    To create a form in Acrobat, you first create a PDF that you will be adding form fields to. Normally yo'd create the source document in a program like InDesign or Word, convert to PDF, and place the form fields where they need to go. Acrobat includes a Form Wizard that can attempt to add fields where it thinks they should go, but I rarely use it, preverring to add the fields manually. To do this, select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    and you'll be switched to form editing mode. At the top you'll see the various form field tools that you can use to add fields to the document. This type of form is known as an Acroform, as opposed to an XFA form (static or dynamic) that LiveCycle Designer creates.
    Acrobat 11 comes with the FormCentral form creation application that allows yo to create forms that can be used with the FormsCentral service. It allows you to export a form to PDF, which can be further edited in Acrobat. FormsCentral can also work with a PDF form (Acroform) that you create entirely in Acrobat.
    I think an Acroform is the more versatile type of the three mentioned since they have the widest support in the PDF viewers that are out there, but which you choose depends on your needs. Each have their advantages.

  • Printing a pdf document created in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    Solved the problem of printing a pdf document created using Acrobat Pro 9.0 with SL - tried many different things form adobe etc and by accident discovered while in Acrobat you have to select ADVANCED in Print then click onto SAVE AS IMAGE in next box and then OK and all prints as it should. Just thought others may want to know this if they have had problems 1

    I'm reviewing your post and while I see a fix, I can't locate the problem that you may have originally posted. Since I'm having issues, I'm hoping your's were the same.
    Sometimes when I print an Adobe Acrobat 9.0 document, most of the printed word fail to print out (although they are in the PDF document). Almost all graphical elements print and the occasional line of text--but most text is missing. Was ti your issue?
    Thanks.

  • Cannot Create PDF Acrobat 9.4 Standard Windows 7, 64 bit

    Hi,
    Currenlty my colleague and I have the same issue; we cannot create PDF documents using Acrobat 9.4 Standard or the office plug in, and there is no PDF printer available after the acrobat installation either.
    We are both using Windows 7, 64 bit version. I have checked and confirmed Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2007 should be compatible.
    * When using the 'Create PDF from file' feature from Acrobat we get the following error: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
    I have run the installer in repair mode multiple times, same isssue occurs after this is done.
    * When using the Acrobat plug-in for office, for example in Word (we both use Office Professional 2007) and selecting 'Create PDF' it will prompt for a save location, after select save nothing happens, and there is no PDF file created in the save locaton.
    So far I have tried the following without any success:
    - Un-installing and re-installing acrobat, multiple times
    - running the acrobat application in compatability mode for Windows XP
    - attempted to create PDF files from older word versions i.e. .doc and .docx have the same issue
    - attempted to manually install PDF printer using the acrobat installation files - did not work
    * I am aware that Office 2007 will allow me to save a document as PDF, however we still need acrobat for the publishing quality and editing features.
    Any help or suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated :-)
    Kind Regards,
    Wade

    I understand what you are suggesting. I have two laptops the same model. AA works on one but not the other.  I do have office 7 and a 64 bit OS.

    If you are running a 64-bit version of OFFICE 2007 (if one exists), that may be the issue. AA X did not work with that version until the most recent release as I understand it. Since you have AA 9.4, I am not sure of the compatibility of it with the 64-bit version. It is strange that the printer does not appear. It seems a few others have had similar problems and as I recall, someone made a suggestion to fix that recently -- though it may have been for AA X. You might search on 64-bit or such.

  • Is there a licensing limit on PDF's created in Acrobat and imported into FormsCentral?

    Hello,
    I have been looking at the forums and also chatted with someone from tech support. I have created a PDF in Acrobat Professional. I have not enabled Reader Extensions on the file. I imported it into FormsCentral and added a submit button. To test it, I filled it out and saved it successfully using Reader 9. I also submitted it successfully using the submit button. I do not yet have a paid FormsCentral account, but see that the Plus account allows 5000 submissions per form. This is not a licensing limit, but a space limit (see http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1382). I also understand there is a 500 use licensing limit on PDF's that have Reader Extensions enabled. Does that apply to an imported PDF with no Reader Extensions enabled? Please clarify.
    Thanks!

    Hello Gen,
    Thank you for your reply. I have seen many discussions on these forums, as well as elsewhere on the internet regarding Adobe's licensing limit on fillable PDF forms created in Acrobat that have Reader Extensions enabled. We are only allowed to extract 500 responses from Reader Extended PDF's, according to this limit.
    I wanted to confirm if this is applicable to a PDF I create in Acrobat Pro (without the Reader Extensions enabled), then imported and submitted through FormsCentral using a Plus account. You are saying that FormsCentral adds the Reader Extensions. Does that mean that the PDF is now subject to Adobe's limit of 500 on Reader Extended PDF's? Or does the fact that the PDF form is submitted through FormsCentral eliminate the limit of 500?
    I just want to be sure that we can go ahead and send out a fillable PDF through FormsCentral without worrying we are exceeding the licensing limit.
    Thanks again!
