Embedding PDF in PDF with Dynamic update

This is what we do today. We use MS-Word for a Shop Floor instruction system. The instructions are Word documents displayed on their PC, but these Document could have embedded other documents by which when they are displayed, the embedded document show the most recent revisions. That way the base document can remain static and an elements within the document can change and when viewed in time, the resulting base document can actually have different instructions because the embedded document had revisions.
Questions, does Adobe provide a similar capability that I can embed a document inside a document and the embedded document is not static, but would display the content of the changed embedded document.?

Other Adobe tools could help you achieve some of this capabilty -- like Adobe FrameMaker can import files by reference and therefore are automatically updated when the referenced document is updated. But, as you're probably aware, this needs to be used in tandem with a document management system that can provide version control on all the documents floating around.

Fail to print pdf with flash(updated)

Hi, all,
I open a pdf with flash in adobe reader.
I want to print it, but it doesn't get the result as what I see in adobe reader.
It seems that the flash has an animation, and the printer capture the image before the animation is finished.
Did I post the discussion in the right forums?
And if you need more information, tell me please.
Thanks

You asked in the correct forum, but it appears that no-one knows the answer.
I know that there were some problems printing Flash content, but I do not know how Flash Player integrates into Adobe Reader - if it uses the installed plugin, or if it uses its own plugin.

Problem with Dynamic Update in Humax MHP STB.

Anyone encounters this problem b4?
The dynamic update funtion of my app works well on other STB, except Humax, no update is reflected.
I really don't know what to do to made it works now. Anyone can give a hint?
What I can think of is implementing a Thread which keeps track of dynamic content. However, I can't think of the way to do it properly...

Embedding PDFs with live hyperlinks?

Hi Everybody-
I was originally updating my site just by copy/pasting text into textboxes on my site, but I have run into a lot of formatting issues between FF, Safari, and IE...surprise surprise.
So...I want to just take all the text I plan to add each day, turn it into a PDF and just insert the PDF onto one of my pages. This works great and relieves me from the formatting nightmare. However, almost everything I will be adding has a hyperlink along with it. When viewing in Preview or Adobe, all the links are live, but when I insert the PDF into the webpage, users can not click the links.
Is there a way to enable hyperlinks for the PDFs I am embedding?
Thanks!

"Preview in Firefox" means all PDF files are processed through and rendered by the Firefox PDF viewer.
As you have noted this in-built PDF viewer is somewhat less than ready for prime time (similarly with the in-built PDF viewers available with other contemporary browsers).
Eventually these browser vendors may deploy something that actually has some greater measure of ISO 32000 compliance.
Until then always configure all browsers used to make use of what is provided with an install of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Be well...

How would I create a PDF with dynamic spelling notations intact?

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to print a PDF version of everything I see on the screen when I run the Dynamic Spellcheck in InDesign? I'd like to send everyone on my staff a PDF proof that includes all of the spelling suggestions.
I would be extremely grateful for your help. Nothing I've tried seems to work, and this forum is my last hope. Thank you!
Brian

Check this site: http://www.kerntiff.co.uk/products-4-indesign/spellproof-id
Using it, and it works great. There is an option for highlighting words which can be turned off, if you just want the dynamic "squiggles".
It works with printing, but if you want a PDF you have to create the PDF as a postscript and then distill it.

How do I hide the SWF play button when printing an embedded PDF with a SWF

When I print the PDF there is a big play button over some text. Can it be hidden?
Is there are a way of resizing a SWF once embedded? It's a pain to work with.
Sometimes, although the SWF is transparent and embedded as transparent but when printed it buts a grey box behind.
Any ideas Adobe?

If the annotation isn't activated, you are printing the JPEG poster image instead - which doesn't have transparency. By default, poster images created from the media will have the play icon burned in, just choose your own image.

Haw to create dynamic PDF with dynamic flowing tables across pages?

Hi!
Sorry for my english, I use it very rarely
I try creating PDF form with many tables (example document: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxTpZtaOkLBbcEJzdGJFcXVSWDJ0RlladUZJd1hMZw). But, when the table or any element hit the bottom of page, they just flow over it. Also in designer elements don't distribute across pages but just disappear on first page bottom. I want to dynamically distribute elements across pages. What I do incorrect?

How to create fillable PDF with dynamic content dropdowns?

I'm creating a March Madness bracket for people that don't really understand how they work. What I'd like to do is have dropdowns for each of bracket lines (they would list the teams playing against each other for that game and they would select who they think would win). I would then like the dropdown for the next game to auto-populate with only the two options for the next round.
For example, team A and team B play against each other and teams C and D play against each other. There are two separate dropdowns, one with A and B as choices and the other with C and D as choices. The user thinks A and C will win their games, so the next dropdown would only have the options of selecting A and C. To illustrate:
AA and B are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects A to win.
BA or C are listed in the dropdown because the user has selected A and C to win their previous games.
CC and D are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects C to win.
D
I can make the first round dropdowns just fine, but I'm not sure how to conditionally/dynamically populate the second round dropdowns based off of user selections.

I don't understand your request but my english is not the best.
But here you can see a script. You can copy this in the first dropdown in the exit-event.
In this example you will give the first dropdwon the entries
"123"
"345"
"678"
The first case describes what happens when the user clicks "123" the second drowdown will get the entries "456" and "789".
When the user clicks "456" the second drowdown will get the entries "123" and "789".
I think you can adapt this script as you need.
Hope I could help a little bit,
Mandy
switch (xfa.event.newText)

Any help with dynamically updating spry attributes?

I am trying to use Spry validation fields for a dynamically
validated form using javascript. I have two key problems:
1. The .reset() method for spry fields seems to work only if
invoked from a function associated with the onclick handler of a
form button: if I call the method from a function triggered by the
onblur handler of a field it has no effect.. strange!
2. I can find no way to change whether a spry field is
mandatory without reloading the page and invoking the constuctor
again.
If anyone has any ideas to tackle either issue I would be
extremely grateful!!

Right, I realize that now, but that would require deleting the current dynamically linked After Effects project, right?
Also, I think the solution to my problem would be found if I could find a way to remove the dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere. Any ideas?

Adobe Reader X and Page Embedded PDFs

We are experiencing an issue across our corporation wherein, post-upgrade to Adobe Reader X, websites opened with Internet Explorer containing an embedded PDF frame now show a blank box instead of the PDF. Firefox will display these sites correctly and I have verified Firefox is using the updated Reader X plug-in. This has been tested across many configurations and behaves consistently in this fashion. Reversion to Adobe Reader 9 appears to solve the problem, however, this is not a true solution.
Help?

This may help a few of you here.
I'm running IE 8 and Adobe Reader X on a WIN64Bit system.
Reader X wouldn't open an embedded PDF with IE8 64BIT. AR X seems to like an older version of IE.
Go to your START menu and you should see "Internet Explorer" and "Internet Explore (64-bit)".
Open a window with the "Internet Explorer", not the (64-bit).
In the IE8 window you'll see a "?" on the tool bar. Open it and click on "About Internet Explorer".
You should NOT SEE "64-bit Edition".
If you don't see "64-Bit Edition", go and try to view the PDF again.
It works for me and it seems I'll have to live with it until there's a patch for 64-Bit.

[Forum FAQ] DNS Dynamic Update Troubleshooting Guide

As we all known,
DNS Client service and DNS Server services support dynamic updates. With dynamic updates, the DNS client computer is allowed to dynamically register and update this resource
records based on their fully qualified domain name by default. However, in some scenarios,
we may find that
the DNS records are not updated.
To analyze this issue clearly, this kind of issue is divided into two parts in this article:
Non-AD integrated zone with DHCP and DNS unintegrated
AD-integrated zone with DHCP and DNS Integrated
Next, we begin to troubleshoot this issue from the above two classes separately.
Non-AD integrated zone with DHCP and DNS unintegrated
1. Check if Dynamic Updates is enabled or not
If you have encountered this kind of issues, firstly, Please check if dynamic updates is enabled in DNS server or not. You can right-click the domain in the
Forward Lookup Zones, then select Properties. In the dialog, click
General tab and choose Nonsecure and secure
in the Dynamic updates box, then click OK. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2
Figure 1: Check DNS Server Settings-1
Figure 2: Check DNS Server Settings-2
2. Check DNS Suffix
Besides, since all computers register records based on their fully qualified domain name, and the fully qualified domain name is based on the primary DNS suffix of a computer appended to its Computer name. We also need to check the DNS panel of Advanced TCP/IP
settings in TCP/IP properties.
Just as Figure 3, if Register this connection's address in DNS is selected and
Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration
is not selected. This default configuration causes the client to request that the client register the Host resource record and the server register the PTR resource record. In these scenarios, please make sure the primary DNS suffix portion of a computer's FQDN
is the same as the name of the Active Directory domain to which the computer is joined.
Figure 3: Check DNS Client settings-1
You can run “ipconfig/all” at the command prompt to check the Primary DNS suffix. From Figure 4, we can see that the Primary DNS suffix is blank.
Figure 4: Check DNS Client settings-2
To set the Primary DNS suffix, you can follow the steps below (Figure 5):
Right-click
My computer and then click Properties.
In the
System Properties dialog, click Computer Name tab and then click
Change….
In the
Computer Name Changes panel, click More…, then you can type the domain name into the
Primary DNS suffix of this computer and then click
OK.
Figure 5: Set the Primary DNS Suffix
After set the primary DNS suffix, we can see that the Primary DNS suffix is demo.com in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Primary DNS Suffix-demo.com
If both
Register this connection's address in DNS and Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration are selected. You need to check the primary DNS suffix and connection-specific DNS suffix at the same time and make sure that
the connection-specific domain name of this connection is the DNS suffix for this connection appended to the computer name. In the picture above, we can see that the Primary
DNS suffix and Connection-specific DNS suffix are the same.
AD-integrated zone with DHCP and DNS Integrated
In some cases,
this issue may happen when the DNS zone is AD-integrated and DHCP server is configured to register and update the A resource records and PTR records on behalf of the DHCP-enabled clients.
1. Check if secure dynamic updates is enabled or not
As everyone knows, DNS update security is available only for zones that are integrated into Active Directory Domain Services (we
can see the difference from Figure 7 and Figure 2). Since secure dynamic updates can prevent unauthorized computers from overwriting existing names in DNS, generally, we recommend
using only secure dynamic updates for AD-integrated zone.
For AD-integrated zone, we can check if secure dynamic updates is enabled in DNS server or not firstly.
You can right-click the domain in the Forward Lookup Zones, then select
Properties. In the dialog, click General tab and choose
Secure only in the Dynamic updates box, then click OK. Please refer to Figure 7.
Figure 7: Check DNS Server Settings-2
2. Check the DNS configuration and options settings on DHCP server
We need to make sure
that DHCP server is configured to register and to update client information with its configured DNS servers. You can check by right-clicking the
IPv4 under your domain and choosing DNS in IPv4 properties.
By default,
the
Enable DNS dynamic updates according to the settings below and
the Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP clients box is checked.
You can also select Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records box so that the DHCP server
always registers and updates client information with its configured DNS servers. (Figure 8)
Figure 8: DHCP Server Settings
In addition, you need to check that the configuration 006 DNS server option in DHCP option is correct.
You can check that by clicking
Server Options in DHCP console. If the setting is incorrect, you can right-click the option and then choose
Properties, then you can remove the wrong DNS server and add a correct one. (Figure 9)
Figure 9: Check DHCP Options
3.
Check if the DHCP server is added to the DnsUpdateProxy security group
Furthermore, as the DHCP server becomes the owner of the name since the DHCP server performs a secure dynamic
update on that name, only that DHCP server can update the name. We would make sure the DHCP server is available. If the DHCP server fails, even other DHCP servers are online, they still have no right to update the client’s record because the other DHCP
server are not the owner of the client name.
To solve this, it is necessary to add the DHCP server to the DnsUpdateProxy security group in AD. You can follow the steps below to achieve that: (Figure 10 and Figure 11)
Open ADUC, click
Computers under your domain.
Right-click your DHCP server and select
Add to a group tab.
Enter
DnsUpdateProxy in the object name box and click
Ok.
Figure 10: Add DHCP Server to the DnsUpdateProxy security group – 1
Figure 11: Add DHCP Server to the DnsUpdateProxy security group – 2
After that, you can find that the DHCP server (In this demo, the DHCP server is W2K12R2) is a member of the DnsUpdateProxy group. (Figure 12)
Figure 12: DHCP server is a member of the DnsUpdateProxy group
4.
Check the
Credentials configuration for DNS update
Furthermore, if
a domain controller is running on the same host as the DHCP server and secure dynamic DNS update has been configured, you need to configure
Credentials for DNS update.
You can
open DHCP console tree, right-click
IPv4 and then click Properties. In the IPv4 Properties
dialog, click Advanced, click
Credentials, type the credentials that the DHCP server supplies when registering names using DNS dynamic updates, and then click
OK. (Figure 13)

I have created one STATIC DNS Entry, for Example "ROSE" and
1.                   Open
the DNS snap-in.
2.                   Right
click the individual record (ROSE) and open the Properties dialog.
3.                   Uncheck
the Delete this record when it becomes stale option
and click OK
For
the moment the time stamp will show as BLANK
Then
I logged in to server "ROSE" and restarted DHCP Client
Service on server or restarted server, the time stamp is automatically setting as current date and "DELETE THIS RECORD WHEN IT BECOME STALE" check box also selected automatically
and gets deleted after a week or so when the scavenging runs
Is
there any way to avoid the static entries become dynamic automatically.

Embedded PDF object .postMessage doesn't work with Reader DC on IE

In our application, we have PDFs embedded in the browser with an object tag such as this:
<object id="pdfObject" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/pdf" data="#{url}"></object>
There are HTML/Javascript controls on the page which communicate with the PDF via this syntax:
document.getElementById("pdfObject").postMessage([arg])
This has been working great with Adobe Reader versions 10+. It actually still works with Reader DC on Firefox. However, there is a problem with Adobe Reader DC on Internet Explorer version 11.
All I can tell so far is the "postMessage" function isn't appearing. Using IE dev tools:
document.getElementById("pdfObject").postMessage
Object doesn't support this property or method
Any help with this would be amazing. It is a critical part of our application here.

My application has two-way communication between browser and embedded PDF. Basically a user clicks a button on the browser and via Javascript the embedded PDF form is submitted. Everything was working before the update to Reader DC, but now it fails in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox (or Chrome, if the Reader plugin isn't disabled entirely by their new default disable-NPAPI plugin policy...)
I originally was troubleshooting communication from the browser to the embedded PDF, which is done according to the Javascript for Acrobat API reference (page 358?), in the browser, as follows: document.getElementById('pdfObject').postMessage([args])
Whatever is happening, postMessage is not a valid property or method of the PDF object
Then I found this other thread:
Adobe Reader DC: hostContainer not worked on IE
I confirmed that within the embedded PDF, when setting up communication from the PDF to the browser, it is not able to register the hostContainer (again, on IE only)
I have this script on initialization within the PDF:
<---
this.disclosed = true;
if (this.hostContainer) this.hostContainer.messageHandler.onMessage = onMessageFunc
this.hostContainer.messageHandler.onDisclose = function() { return true; }; }
---->
Problem is this.hostContainer is null.
The main point here is all of this was definitely working before updating to Reader DC, and is still working with DC on Firefox, but not on IE.
To complicate things further, I have now uninstalled DC and downgraded to Reader 11.0.10.32, and am having a new bug, this time hostContainer is detected and communication to and from the PDF works again, but the submitForm action is failing with "Unable to open URL to submit this form" and "External undefined: exec". Testing the exact same version and script with Firefox works fine

It seems like Illustrator may not consistantly be updating the embedded pdf file when we re-save..........

It seems like Illustrator may not consistently be updating the embedded pdf file when re-saving, even if the embedded illustrator file does. We are seeing a number of issues which seem to suggest this is going on..... I have a file I might be able to share with adobe's developers to really look at this problem. In short this file does not have a client change when viewed in reader or output through Photoshop image processor to generate raster copies, yet when we open the file we see the client changes. I would expect this to be a huge issue..... I have told my team to perform a save-as from now on to avoid what I think is going on-it seems to work.....
We are using Illustrator CS5.5 (15.1.0)

Hi,
I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ Maybe you can have a try.

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
