Edit Internal PDF Structure - Rotate?

I'm having some issues with a few forms I've created and I can't find a solution to. Long story short, when a user prints this editable PDF to PDF, it rotates the page 90 degrees. This form was a template that I used for other forms, but in the beginning I had issues with the form fields being rotated 90 degrees as discussed & corrected in this discussion:
http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/4126465#4126465
I notice that when I go to print this landscape form, it defaults to portrait and when I look in the internal PDF structure is show "Rotate: 90". Does anyone know how I can remedy this? All my other forms have "0" in this field. Thanks in advance...

You cannot edit the internal structure of a PDF via the Preflight dialog, it's a view-only tool. There are plugins to allow low-level editing (PDF Can Opener, PDF Surgeon, etc.).
Page rotation can be defined via the contect menu on the page thumbnails sidebar, but if you've mixed up content with different orientations then simply resetting the /Rotate tag won't necessarily solve your problem.

How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

Depends on the extent of the edits. You will need Acrobat in any case. If the edits or minor, you can use the text edit tool. For major edits, you need to request the original file be sent or see if you can Save As a DOC or related file type. PDFs are not really structured for editing and you are asking for a lot of grief if you want to do much. Exporting is the best way, or even better simply asking the author for the original (non-PDF type).

Problems with editing/opening PDF's in Acrobat X

We have 2 situations going on with Acrobat X:
1. We are scanning drawings on a Xerox Wide Format scanner to PDF's. When I open them in Acrobat 8 Pro I can rotate and edit them. When my boss opens them in Acrobat X the same file opens as a PDF/A and he can't do anything with them. Any thoughts on how we can change this?
2. When my boss get's PDF attachements in his email he is not able to open them, he has to email them to me so I can open them in Acrobat 8 Pro.
We were considering upgrading the whole office to the latest version of Acrobat but until we can get these 2 basic items solved it won't happen. Any help is appriciated.
We are running Macs with OS X verison 10.8.4
Thanks

Hi Christina,
For first issue, you are scanning your PDFs as PDF/A i.e why Acrobat 10 cannot edit them. (Acrobat 8 could edit PDF/A, this feature not to enable editing on PDF/A files were added in later versions). Now you can:
1. Either turnoff the checkbox to create PDF/A while scanning as shown in image below: You need to click on "PDF Output Options" button on the scan dialog to access this and other options.
or
2. When you open PDF/A in Acrobat X, you will get a blue message bar at the top, saying that "This file has been opened read only" along with the button "Enable Editing". You can click on "Enable Editing" to modify the pdf. See image below:
This should take care of the first issue.
Regarding the second issue of PDF attachments, I am not sure what could be the problem. It may be an OS issue related to file association. You can try associating the pdf files to Acrobat. To do this, Right Click on any pdf file and click "Get Info", then under "Open With" panel, select Acrobat and click on "Change All". See image below:
Thanks,
Varinder

Internal pdf links not working in chrome and firefox

I have some PDF files that I am adding links to additional PDF files that are located in the same folder on our webserver using Acrobat Pro XI. The links work fine in IE and the other PDF files open up and display well in the IE browser, but the links don't even show up in Chrome and will not open in Firefox. Further, the links in Safari, deliver an error message pop up saying the file could not be opened. If you click OK, the file does open. Also, in Acrobat > Tools > Add or Edit Link, I can change the properties to "Open File" and pick the "Open in New Window" option, but when I save the changes and come back, the option has automatically changed back to "Execute a Menu Item" and of course, the file I'm linking to does not open in a new Window. These files were originally created in Word by another person and the person who converted them to PDF added fillable form fields throughout the document prior to converting to PDF. The links I am adding are being added using Acrobat Pro XI in the PDF file. Should we insert the above-mentioned links in the Word docs prior to converting to PDF to ensure the links work in all browsers, or are these browser issues common to all internal PDF links?
Please help!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are using the Adobe PDF NPAPI viewer for Chrome and Firefox. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox now have their own default PDF viewers.

An intricate question rather than an idea: PDF structure LIVE EDITOR

I am wondering whether Dom's outline here(1) is really impossible:
For PoDoFoBrowser, I think it would be fine if you would have the preview side
by side with the pages content stream. And if you type some PDF code into the
content stream, like "0 0 1 rg 100 100 m 200 200 l" it should immediately
draw a blue line. But this is dreaming
I see top expert gurus such as Thom Parker have developed their own viewer/editor here(2), the PDFCanOpener. PoDoFoBrowser is also great. These guys here(3) made PDFXplorer.
So, why I couldn't find a tool like Dom's expectations. Adobe in first place should do that if technically possible. Together with Acrobat, it would exploit the creation of custom annotations.
Are there any reasons they haven't yet?

Karl,
I know you certainly have more experience with the Acrobat SDK than I do; also, all those developers of PDF structure viewers/editors I mentioned earlier must have considered the possibility to make their applications LIVE as Dom's quote shows. So, ultimately you must be right.
Anyway, when you talk about the current transformation matrix, you remind me of the true purpose of such an advanced PDF structure editor I put forward, that is an INLINE editor rather than a LIVE editor where the line here is the development process carried out through the Acrobat SDK itself. For example, say you mouse-draw a straight line in the PDF preview, you should be able to see cosDictionaries and operators to be used within your code. Or, you scale a picture and can check at the same time the transformation matrix that has been used. The reverse is sometimes useful too: you change an element of a transformation matrix and watch the effect in the PDF preview; so, for example, you can rotate a Widget annotation by means of the R key but you can do it in a finer control through a transformation matrix, if I am not wrong.
I think many other examples concerning other PDF structure's parameters configurable in the Acrobat SDK, may be given.

Performance Issues when editing large PDFs

We are using Adobe 9 and X Professional and are experiencing performance issues when attempting to edit large PDF files. (Windows 7 OS). When editing PDFs that are 200+ pages, we are seeing pregnated pauses (that feel like lockups), slow open times and slow to print issues.
Are there any tips or tricks with regard to working with these large documents that would improve performance?

You said "edit." If you are talking about actual editing, that should be done in the original and a new PDF created. Acrobat is not a very good editing tool and should only be used for minor, critical edits.
If you are talking about simply using the PDF, a lot depends on the structure of the PDF. If it is full of graphics, it will be slow. You can improve this performance by using the PDF Optimize to reduce graphic resolution and such. You may very likely have a bloated PDF that is causing the problem and optimizing the structure should help.
Be sure to work on a copy.

Error while editing a pdf using CS6

Just recently, when I am attempting to edit a pdf it becomes unresponsive. I am currently using CS6. I have not done anything different. Since I have been experiencing this problem, I have uninstalled CS6 and re-installed with no resolution to the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Charla

That’s weird. How about this
1.    which platform, Mac or Windows, and if possible please provide the operation system and its version?
Windows 7
1a. please provide your hardware info, that is, which CPU, how much RAM, and how much free space your hard disk still has available
cid:[email protected]

Version 10.1.8
3.    please provide the 'dot release' version you are using, such as Acrobat 10.1.8 and not just Acrobat 10
10.1.8
4. are all CS applications installed on the same computer and in the "Applications" folder?
All on the same computer, but I apologize, where would I find the Applications folder?
4.    was Acrobat installed as part of your CS installation, or was it independently installed?
Yes, Adobe Acrobat was installed as port of the CS installation.
6. if independently installed, was it before or after the CS apps?
7. what kind of PDF's are you trying to edit where this happens - does it always happen with every PDF or just particular ones?
Every pdf.
- I am trying to get a picture of what kind of content inside the PDF you typically work with, e.g., text-only, forms, graphic images
All the above
8. are you working inside a local network, if yes, how many computers are connected to it?
Local Network, 9 computers and I am th only one with access to the CS6 Suite 10.1.8
9. do you use any kind of cloud storage (such as Box, DropBox, etc) or network syncing processes
Drop Box
10. are you able to see whether other processes are taking place at the same time as when you use Acrobat, for example virus scanning, updating, etc
Yes, I think so. By the task manager?

How to edit a PDF in Photoshop CS4

Hi there,
I'm having some real trouble trying to figure out how to edit a PDF in photoshop cs4. So i need to edit/change text, move things around, that type of thing.
I work in Windows.
Could someone give me a bit a low down on how this is done?
Much appreciated,
Victoria

You can open them but you will totally rasterize everything.
PDFs are not intended to be edited. They are a final format but as
mentioned you can use Acrobat for some minor text edits or use it to
extract the images to Photoshop for further editing.

But the word 'latent' is not searchable although the word 'unobserved' is searchable in acrobat. Does anybody what should be the correct way to edit a pdf file.
What does the Td, Tj and the numbers, such as 10.3348, mean? Why a word are separated into many letters enclosed by ()?

I know that pdf is usually compressed and pdftk can help decompress it. That is why I get the text format of the pdf code segments that I showed.
The ISO 32000-1 document is too thick for me to digest. I know that if I should be able to find all the information that need from ISO 32000-1. But I'm wondering whether there is more concised document for my particular question.
Also, I try to use Acrobat (TouchUP Text tool) to edit the pdf, but it always says "All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font." I find the following solution. But it doesn't really help, because I can not delete text if there is no system availabe font for the text that I'm going to delete.

How to edit a PDF document in Netweaver Development Studio?

Dear Experts,
I am trying to edit a PDF file in the Netweaver Developer Studio.
Can anybody tell me how can I import and edit it in the Netweaver Developer Studio?
I am trying to do some editing.Eg. adding action buttons, adding input fields etc to the PDF file.
If somebody has previously done such things or have some idea, I would like to hear from your experiences.
Many thanks
Rgds,
Sudeep

Hi Satya,
Thank you for the immediate response.
Now I can import the pdf files and edit them.
However there is a problem.
I can only open the pdf files which I created by the developer studio.
When I open the pdf files those created by a scanner, they appear blank. However, when I open the same files with acrobat reader, the contects in the file appear.
I will be very thankful if you could help me in this.
Many thanks
sudeep

How To Edit a .pdf file - Please Help!

When I Googled the above question, I was told to download the Adobe Acrobat XI.
I tried downloading the trial version. I was then told to download the Creative Cloud to be able to download Acrobat XI.
I downloaded Creative Cloud, then I was taken to the Adobe Applications Manager Page which show a bunch of apps to download.
I don't know which app I will need for the editing. I was looking for Acrobat XI, but it's not showing anywhere.
I tried downloading Photoshop. This took more than 2 hours. After the download was complete, I tried launching it, but nothing happened.
I went back & double-checked the instructions, & I'm directed & got stumped at the Applications Manager page once more.
I find this very frustrating. I wish it were not this complicated.
I just want to edit a .pdf file, and nothing else. I'm not sure if I want to go through all these maze, or just use FIVVER, pay $5.00 & AVOID all these hassles.@nikoledeon.
PLEASE HELP!

How to edit a pdf file?

I downloaded the free Adobe and i want to edit a pdf file and it wont allow me. asking me to subscribe.

You want to go to the source program you first edited and authored the file in and create a fresh new PDF from that file. You should always save a current copy of the program file which you authored the PDF file in. Acrobat is not really intended for creating content as such. You can do quick edits in Acrobat by setting up the Touch-up preferences, Preferences>General>Touch up, These should point to the programs you use to edit PDF content, in my case the Object editor is Illustrator and Image editor is Photoshop. Now if you select the touch up object tool and the click on the object(s) you want to edit selecting them, then right click to get the contextual menu and select, Edit Object, Acrobat will create a temp file and open it in the program which you selected in preferences. Do the edit and close the temp file, Acrobat uses the temp file to update the open Acrobat PDF file you were working on.
Hope this helps

Trying to edit a .pdf file. Please help.

I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat 30-day free trial, which comes up as "Adobe Assistant" on my machine, and I've been trying to use it for editing a .pdf file, but it doesn't do anything but want to download an entire folder of documents. I don't want it to do that, but can't seem to do anything else. When I load Acrobat separately from a .pdf I already have saved, (even logging in to Acrobat), and try editing the .pdf document, it keeps launching to the website page saying that it needs to be paid for to use. I'm confused. How can I try the editor to see if I like it? Isn't it all one program or is the Assistant different from the Editor?

I may be wrong, but I think you are not using Adobe Acrobat at all. It sounds as if you are still running Adobe Reader, for some reason, rather than Adobe Acrobat, which looks similar but has many more options. If you are not sure, tell us what you see under TOOLS - main headings - or look at the title bar.
