Customizing PDF Profile Display in Acrobat 9

We have 20+ interns who don't have too much PDF experience, so we use custom preflight profiles to expedite the editing process.  They're really simple and not as intense as many of the default profiles, so anything that doesn't get fixed with the custom profiles comes to me and I either fix them in Acrobat or take them into PitStop.  By only giving them the custom profiles to view, we eliminate any possible mistakes from choosing the wrong Preflight Profile.
Anyways, I was wondering if there's a way to set up the default view in the Preflight Panel to show "Favorites" only?!?  You can select to show your favorites in the drop-down list, but I would like to have it show only the favorites by default.
Anyone know if this is possible?  If not, is there an easy way to remove all of the other profiles, so our options are limited to just the favorites - which we'd place under a new "Profile Set" heading?
Thanks for any feedback!

Michael,
Thanks for the response!  However, I was actually wondering if there's a way to set it to view "Favorites" by default so whenever you open a new PDF or Acrobat from scratch, it shows your favorites as the default profiles - notthing else.
It's really not that big of a deal, but again, we're just seeing if there are ways to limit our interns' options when running through this part of our process.  In the meantime, I've created our own set of Profiles and Fixups under a new custom set that they can choose from.  We just hoped that we could turn all the other options "off" by defaulting to viewing Favorites when you open up Acrobat and the Preflight Panel.
Thanks

  • Trouble adding a custom PDF Portfolio layout to Acrobat 9

    I asked this question over in the Acrobat Windows and Mac forums, but no luck. I think I was in the wrong place...anyways...apologies for cross-posting, but I'm stuck and up against a deadline!
    I've developed a custom navigator for an Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Portfolio. However, I’m having trouble getting it to show up as a layout option when I open Acrobat to create a PDF portfolio. The basic layouts are there, but I can't find my layout or the "other layouts" category.
    I've tried this in both Windows and Mac environments on two different computers. In Windows, I tried installing the .nav file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9\Navigators directory; on Mac, I tried both /Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Navigators/ and Applications/Acrobat 9 Pro/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Navigators/ directories. I've shut down Acrobat and reopened the application, as well as restarted my computer. I still can't get the new navigator to show up.
    Is there perhaps a plug-in or something from the SDK that I need to install into Acrobat first in order for my custom .nav to show up? I'm sure it's something simple and obvious that I'm overlooking - but I haven't been able to figure out what. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    Jill

    I thought so. I followed the instructions in a tutorial I saw on Acrobatusers.com. I updated the config.xml, navigator.xml, and the assets (arrows, background), then used WinZip to open an existing .nav file as an archive and swap out the files I changed. Maybe the mimetype file is getting compressed when I close WinZip? Is there another/better way to create the .nav file?

  • Custom Stamp Name Display in Acrobat X?

    Our organization relies heavily on the usage of the Stamp tool, we have over 100 custom stamps created which enables us to be a paperless environment.  Here's the problem, in the new Acrobat X, Adobe removed the "names" of the custom stamps in the drop down.  So now you only see the stamp instead of the name.  We have some very large stamps, and some that are very similar but are used in completely different cases.  Does anyone know if it is possible to show the names of the custom stamps in Acrobat X?  This is such a huge deal to us, we won't be able to use any new versions of Acrobat unless this is possible!

    Acrobat does not, or at least it didn't, execute doc level scripts in a
    stamp file. So something else is needed. 
    SeattleUser, I the stampName needs to be specified at all, since the script
    doesn't need to work for a specific stamp, but rather all stamps when not
    being placed.  How about this code?

  • Changing the pdf profile of batch create multiple files in Acrobat?

    Is it possible to load another pdf profile for batch create multiple files from Acrobat? I am batching indesign pages and I need to use a high resolution pdf profile with printer marks
    The default seems to be low res rgb. Any idea if this can be done?

    it is a custom Pdf Profile but basically an X1a with a few tweeks, When I try a watch folder with distiller it just errors out all the files.
    Batch Processing using the "Create PDF, Batch Create Multiple Files " in Acrobat works but does not let me choose a pdf profile.

  • How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

    I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
    I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
    I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
    I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
    I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
    OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
    I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
    The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
    I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
    The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
    Help!

  • How to open PDF in Acrobat 9 without displaying the Acrobat window

    Am using IAC in Windows XP via VC++ to open and modify PDFs in memory without displaying the Acrobat window so as to the PDF Processing in the background. To open the PDF, have to call the method PDDoc.OpenAVDoc which opens the Acrobat window for displaying the document.
    As a workaround, I tried to minimize and hide the Acrobat viewer, using the AcroApp.Minimize and AcroApp.Hide methods. However opening, minimizing and hiding the viewer is creating a flickering effect (Acrobat window coming and going) especially when a no of PDFs have to be processed in a loop.
    If I use only PDDoc.Open without the call to OpenAVDoc, am getting an error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer".
    Can anyone suggest a workaround to open and process PDFs in memory without displaying the PDF.

    PDL,
    Am getting the Error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer" while trying to instantiate fields list inside the form via an AcroForms object. The problematic code snippet is given below
    iPDDoc->Open("PDFFileName")
    iAVDoc->AttachDispatch(PDDoc->OpenAVDoc("PDFFileName")), true);
    ipFormApp->CreateDispatch("AFormAut.App", &OleExc)
    i pFields = new IFields(pFormApp->GetFields());
    The GetFields method is giving error in Acrobat 9 but its working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8.
    Since the AV layer methods are working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8, please let me know why they are not working in Acrobat 9 and if there is any workaround.
    Also, if I use only PD Layer methods, can I access the form fields inside the PDF?

  • Reducing size of .pdf image prior to displaying by Acrobat Reader

    I scanned a newspaper article to a .pdf file and when Iit was displayed by Acrobat Reader the image was at 290%.  I would prefer a 100% readable image.  Is there an option to reduce the image size to say 100 or 75% prior to displaying it in Acrobat?  Could this be a function best achieved during the scanning process?  If so, how?   I am new at this and would appreciate any advise available.

    Try playing with the default layout and zoom settings.
    Edit > Preferences > select the category Page Display
    In the Default Layout and Zoom pane, you can use the drop-down menus for
    Page Layout and Zoom to make selections.

  • IPhoto, Colorsync and Custom Printer and display profiles

    I am attempting to understand the way that iPhoto 6 handles/uses custom ICC profiles that have been set in System Prefs>Monitors>Color, and in Utilities>ColorSync Utility>Devices>Printers.
    In short, my monitor and printer have both been custom profiled, (Using System Preferences>Monitors>Color, I've set my custom monitor profile. Using the ColorSync utility I have selected my custom ICC profile for my printer). My camera is using SRGB. iPhoto is set to 'Add ColorSync profile'.
    Page setup is set for the proper printer and paper size.
    Using the Advanced Print Setup I have selected the appropriate paper type, turned off printer color correction, and activated ColorSync color correction.
    I'm not certain that iPhoto and ColorSync are actually talking to each-other.
    I come from a Photoshop background, where it is possible to set the printer profile at output, using 'Print with Preview'. This setup is intended for my parents though, so Photoshop is not an option.

    1. > What sort of output problems are you encountering?
    1) No output problems, I'm simply trying to figure out ColorSync interacts with iPhoto as there's little or no documentation on the topic.
    2. > Also what printer are you using or your parents will be using?
    2. My folks are using a Canon S820
    More specifically, I'm hoping to use a custom printer profile, which has produced decent color accurate results with this setup in Photoshop.
    This presents 2 questions, a) how to utilize the new custom printer profile in iPhoto (use color sync utility? by declaring the profile in the 'Current Profile' section for the device) and b) does iPhoto pay attention to the Current Profile selected profiles when printing?
    Basically I'm looking for info regarding the behavior of iPhoto with regards to ColorSync. The lack of documented info is the problem.
    I was told today when on the phone with Apple, that iPhoto pays attention to the default profile and not the Current Profile selection, but the rep didn't sound sure, so I'm not too confident in his response.
    Also, it doesn't make sense to me that ColorSync Utility would allow you to select a profile and that iPhoto would then subsequently ignore it.
    My folks are importing camera images that are tagged as sRGB, iPhoto is set to apply the profile per the advanced prefs, their monitor is profiled and the profile is activated.
    iPhoto has plenty of documentation regarding the tagging of images with color profiles, and the display of these profiles with regard to Apple monitors (by using CameraRGB etc) but not a heck of a lot devoted to getting good prints at home through the use of ColorSync, and custom profiles.
    ColorSync was designed for just this type of thing, and when you print, it's available as a color correction option in the Color Settings section of the print dialog box, but there's nothing written regarding using it effectively and properly.
    Getting color accurate prints is not a 'Pro' feature, it's something that the Mac is supposed to embrace out of the box thru the use of ColorSync...that's the whole point of ColorSync a system wide color management workflow regardless of the 'Pro-ness' of the app or so I thought.
    Every rep (AppleStore, Genius Bar, Creatives, AppleCare, iPhoto Software support) try to pass this of as a pro feature, and it is not– is something that ColorSync is supposed to be doing for the whole system, not just Aperture or Photoshop

  • Customized User Profiles not loading for Network Users

    I manage Macs in public computer labs and classrooms at a university. My general set up is as follows:
    Clients are running 10.8.5, OD Masters are running 10.7.5. Open Directory Master to manage client preferences for Login window and screen saver. Clients bind to Active Directory for authentication purposes only. Networked users home directories are stored locally then deleted at log out. Using Deploy Studio to image and restore clients.
    My customized user profiles are stored in /User Templates/Non_Localized.lproj.(I also update English.lproj for any local users that may need to be created for various reasons).
    Recently I have come across a situation where, randomly, my customized user profile does not load at Login, and I am given the out-of-the-box default Apple profile. This is happening in 11 of my 14 labs. I have three labs that seem to not be affected by this.
    On some labs I manage the DHCP, some labs I do not, and rely on our Networking group to supply DHCP and DNS. Because of this setup I have six different DNS server that may be in the mix. Two are Unix boxes, the other four are the Active Directory Domain Control servers. I did create a spreadsheet of all the AD/OD settings for each lab to see if I could find some kind of pattern, but don't see a way to upload it.
    The one thing I do notice is that when I do a mass login using a shell script via Apple Remote Desktop, when the profile fails to build correctly, the user login is quick, much quicker than when the correct profile loads. Almost as if a packet is sent the the OD server, it's rejected, and bam, Apple's default profile loads.
    I have flushed the DNS cache of the local clients using killall --HUP mDNSResponder
    I've got one week to figure this out before classes start, so if you have a clue as to what's going on, I sure would be grateful.
    Here are logs from both the admin's account and the user's account when the default profile fails to build:

    Hi Dharmender ,
    Did you try to repair your Acrobat once ?If not please try the same and check if that helps you out .
    Launch Acrobat >Navigate to Help >Repair Acrobat Installation .
    Do you get any error message or any prompts when it hangs and become unresponsive ?
    Does this happen with any specific PDF or all the PDF'?
    Also you could try to uninstall Acrobat once and they re install it if the above step does not work .
    Please restart your machine once as well.
    Regards
    Sukrit Dhingra

  • Incorrect PDF being displayed periodically in the browser

    I want to start by thanking anyone who could shed light on this problem. 
    We have a web application that dynamically generates PDF files per a user request in a web application.  98% of the time the proper PDF gets opened in the browser correctly, whether it be IE or Firefox.  The other 2% of the time, no matter what url data was requested from, an incorrect PDF is displayed.  This incorrect PDF that gets displayed is one that was requested and opened in a previous request and could still be open in a browser tab.  Once this state is reached all PDFs that are requested do not line up with the requested PDF, meaning they are all incorrect.  Once the browser is refreshed the problem stops happening for another stretch of time. 
    I have read posts that discuss placing a random number in the url to "trick" the browser plugin from thinking it already has the PDF.  We have done that.  In fact this issue appears to not be impacted at all by the url.  For example, when this problem happens I can go to https://appname/one/pdf and get the PDF that was requested and sent back when I went to https://appname/two/pdf.  These are two clearly different urls even without the random number that we placed on the end as a parameter and I still receive the PDF from the second URL. 
    We debugged the server side code and we are 100% sure that we are sending the correct PDF back to the client by streaming the PDF to a file on the server prior to sending it back to the client. 
    One thing I have noticed is that currently we are not specifying the Content-Disposition header when we return the PDF to the browser.  This means that there is no filename being provided to the front end and the plugin.  Is it possible that the Adobe Reader plugin eventually gets confused as to what file to display if there is no specific file name provided for the PDF from the server, with the keyword there being eventually as it is an intermittent problem? 
    We can easily set the Content-Disposition header to be attachment; filename="somename.pdf" but given the intermittent nature of this bug we would like to get some feedback as to if this fix is logical given this issue.  If it is not logical we would appreciate any other information that may help us troubleshoot this issue.  The alternative is to rewrite the document generation code to output HTML, and I really do not want to do that. 
    We are using the Adobe Acrobat 9.4.5.236 add-on to Firefox 10.0.3, Adobe Reader 9.4.0, and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702.  All of these versions are not able to be upgraded, meaning this is the baseline we have to support.  We also operate, still, on Window XP Professional Service Pack 3. 
    One last comment, client side operations by the user are not valid solutions either.  I have already suggested asking the user to uncheck the open in browser option in Adobe Reader but our customer does not find that to be a valid solution.  To date we have not been able to recreate the issue when the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader proper and not the browser. 
    Thanks again for any help and information. 

    In case someone, other than me, stumbles across this post.  The solution I suggested in the opening post did not work.  When a user opens a PDF using the Reader Plug-in in Firefox they still have the potential to see the previous PDF.  The interesting thing is, as it appears right now, that this only occurs when a user closes a Firefox tab that contained the previous PDF and then triggers a different PDF to be opened in Firefox.  What seems to be happening is that the Reader Plug-in ignores the file it is supposed to open and recycles the PDF that was in that tab before it was closed.  Which is funny because the URL of that tab points to the new file that was downloaded into the temp directory but the contents of the tab is still the previous PDF.  Not sure if the plug-in just doesn't clean out the previous contents or what but it clearly is an issue that resides in the Adobe Reader Plug-in for Firefox. 
    I am not sure what we are going to do at the moment but if we find a solution, other than don't open the PDF in Firefox, I will be sure to post it here.  However, for right now there is nothing coming to mind. 

  • Using add-ins in Word and Excel, I want to create pdfs to display page fit and with bookmark panel displayed. I cannot find how to do this.

    I am trying to create pdfs using add-ins in Word and Excel through Acrobat Pro XI. I cannot set defaults for page size or bookmark display. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Page size is dictated by what is configured for the authoring file. For custom pages sizes you'd make a matching custom page size for Acrobat (see Acrobat's Help).
    For PDF Bookmarks you use Acrobat's PDFMaker with a supported version of Word or Excel.
    You configure the PDFMaker's Preferences such that PDF Bookmarks can be made.
    Coming from Word the default Word Headings are used. You can also configure to used the default Word Styles.
    Coming from Excel you can only use the names of the worksheets within a work book.
    Alternatively you can create Bookmarks for a PDF manually using Acrobat XI (and earlier versions).
    Note that Word "Bookmarks" are in no way the same as PDF "Bookmarks".
    Be well...

  • I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information.

    I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information. If I go to chrome it will open the bank statements but Firefox no longer open these flies. Why??????

    It's very unusual to get no results for PDF in the Application preferences list. It's possible that the file which stores those preferences might have become corrupted. Perhaps it would be best to rename or delete the file and let Firefox re-create it.
    Here's how:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox. After things setting down, check the Application preferences again to see whether PDF is listed and then set the drop-down on the right side to the desired action.
    orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    Does that work any better?

  • 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?

  • How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

    March 10, 2014
    How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
    The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
    I wanted to create a pale orange:
    Hue               13      Red      255
    Saturation   240      Green  177
    Luminosity    86       Blue     140
    I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
    I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to  edit the numbers.  Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Note:  I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
    When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
    OK...what images *are* allowed?
