How to link individual question boxes in a Muse website to respective sections of a PDF form

Hello! I have got two questions in terms of using Acobat Form Central and Muse.
Q1:I built a website using Adobe Muse. I want to link individual question boxes in this website website to respective sections of a PDF form built in Adobe Form Central. Can you please let me know how to do this?
Q2: I imported a PDF form into the Muse website using HTML. I want to know how to expand the size of the whole form in the website, or at least to increase the font size.
Many thanks!

Word document with multiple sections generates multiple pdf?

Hello everyone,
I'm a new and happy Mac user, but not fully able to use this. I hope you can help.
I have a Word document, with multiple sections that I want to convert into pdf. When I used to do this with the PC, I didn't have problems. I used to use Click to Convert and I normally used to get one single pdf file.
Now, using the pdf button wit the Mac, I get separate pdf files, one for each section. Is there a way that I can create a single pdf, with all the sections in order? If not, how can I merge the pdf in one single pdf file?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
just to let you know I have sorted this.

How can I edit headers or footers in a section of my PDF doc without removing all of the them?

I have merged several files into a single PDF. I need to edit headers, but I don't want to remove all the headers in the document, only in a particular section. How can I do that? The only option I see is Document, Header and Footer, Remove. That removes EVERYTHING!!!

If you click the link I posted previously, it takes you right to the Pages community.

Save as PDF' splits MS-Word Sections into separate PDFs

This is more of an FYI than a question,
Original topic: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8068226 it has already been archived and I can't reply to it.
Problem description: when printing a single work document to PDF two PDF files are generated and the original content is divided between the two PDFs. This only appears to affect MS word as preview and text edit print fine.
Possible fix: For the file in question, MS word 2008 had a hidden section break after a return character in the middle of the document. it didn't show up even after show non-printable characters was enabled. Pressing return a few times after the last return character flushed out the offending section break, deleting it fixed the issue.
The file was originally composed on a PC running Office 2003.
Hope this helps!

Hi Nigel,
I just created a new document in Word 2004. I typed in one line of text then inserted a page-break section, and typed text on the second page.
When I print, and save to PDF, it generates one PDF document with 2 pages in it.
I have routinely saved-to-PDF larger 20 or 30 page Word documents with multiple sections, and they have saved to single PDF files.
Have you installed something different or extra to allow PDF generation?
I am currently using Leopard, but this also worked the same in Tiger and probably earlier.
As a work-around, open one of the PDF files in Preview, open the side tray (if it's not already) and drag the other files into their prospective locations in the tray. Then save the PDF and they'll all be in one file.

How to not print a section inside a PDF file

Hey PDF nation,
I have full color PDF file with multiple pages on our site which has a blue background all over. The issue is if you want to print it, you'll run out of ink. On the other hand I can't change the design and make the background white. Is there anyway to tell your PDF file to print some sections differently or not to print? Am I out of luck?
Thanks in advance.

You're out of luck, unless you have Photoshop or Illustrator in which you can open the PDF and edit it.

Table Sections Formatting in PDF

Hi,
When we export a table with many sections in it, the PDF actually cuts the sections when it cannot print the whole section data in one page.
For example: I get the Section Headers at the end of the first page and the data in the second page.
Is there a way to tell OBIEE that when a section cannot fit in one page then to start it in the second.
Bottom line, I do not want one section to be cut into multiple pages.

Hi Vj,
Do you have any screen shot with the desired output to share?
Thanks,

Print each section as separate PDF

I am looking for a way to export each section as a separate PDF rather printing and then splitting out the file manually.
Any thoughts?

Section.pageStart (the start page for the section) and Section.length (the number of pages in the section) will help. You can access each section individually using >app.activeDocument.sections.length (which gives you the number of sections), and <pre>for (i=0; i<app.activeDocument.sections.length; i++) { currentSection = app.activeDocument.sections[i]; .. do something with currentSection.pageStart and currentSection.length (for example, export it) }</pre> to loop over all.

Arabic and Hebrew sections of a .pdf document

I need to rearrage a .pdf that contains Arabic and Hebrew pages. Acrobat will not allow the Arabic pages to be placed anywhere but at the end of the document. I am using Acrobat 7 on a PC with PC InDesign CS3 documents as the source.
Any hints or suggestions?
Thanks,
Linda

Linda, did you create these files with InDesign? If so, you should edit them there and not in Acrobat. Besides that, there shouldn't be any problem moving pages, no matter which kind of text they have. What exactly happens when you try to drag the pages to a new location?

How do I rearrange sections of a pdf portfolio?

I am putting together a PDF portfolio from 7 different pdf files, but when loaded in they were in the wrong order. Now I want to move them around before publishin it. How do I do that??? Adobe 9 Pro

Hi,
My question also! You don't seem to be able to drag and drop that I can see. I've found a work around from a book. I'm not great at describing it but you may get the idea.
In the specify file button on the right when you have the portfolio open in edit mode. You want to add a column to display, name it 'order' and choose number to the right, then hit the 'plus' button. Then check only 'order' in the list of how to sort.
Then go to the column in the list view, and click on the space to the right of the document icon and under order, and put a numbers in the order you want the document to be, like 1, 2, etc.
Then you can sort in the order you want.
Anyone else have the answer? I wonder why you can't drag and drop here.
I keep thinking there is an easier way!

Picture or section available on PDF format but not HTML format of report?

I'm trying to include a watermark on my report, but it won't show up correctly in the HTML version. It works great in the PDF version so I'm wondering if there is a way to suppress the watermark on the HTML version of the report? Is there any way to do this?

Water marks do not work across WEB pages. Have 2 reports, one for each export type. Or try adding supression to the water mark, you'll ahve to prompt to hide it depending on the export type though.

How do I create links in a file like a table of contents to different sections in a .pdf document?

I'm trying to take multiple files and create one large (165 page) document but would like to create links to the different "chapters" within the document.

LH,
You may (you can see Groups in the Layers palette with the layer expanded):
1) Ctrl/Cmd+A to select everything and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup ;
2) ShiftClick the circle to deselect it; if it is still a Group (all of its own), Ungroup again;
3) With the Centre Reference Point ticked in the Transform palette multiply the W or H value by 1.1 (just add *1.1 in the box) and Ctrl/CmdEnter to keep proportions (this is to make sure that they are long enough);
4) Ctrl/Cmd+A to select everything again and Pathfinder>Divide (this will make pie pieces);
5) Drag over the centre with the Direct Selection Tool and press Delete (this will rid you of the inner parts of the pie pieces so you just have the outer rim in pieces).
This should give you the 30 independent curved lines forming the circle, two of them with an extra (original) Anchor Point.

I have an issue in Adobe Reader, blurry text with a section of a PDF. Same file works fine on a colleagues PC. Even tried Pro?

I posted this question on Twitter last week, was asked to check the settings for rendering and this didn't make a difference. I then installed Adobe Acrobat Pro to see if this made a difference but no luck. Finally I was asked to print in B&W but again no luck. One of my colleagues is using Reader and the same file works fine for him. Please help...

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

HTML links from Full Check Accessibility report do not open the corresponding PDF links

I regularly generate full Check accessibility reports for the PDF user guides I create in MSWord. However, when I click the links in the HTML file/report generated, they are supposed to link/highlight the corresponding errors in the PDf file. Instead, I get an error message that "There was an error opening this document. Bad parameters."
How can I get the links to work so I know which section in my PDF has the error (inaccessible items).
Thanks

I understand you are creating HTML reports and then using them to find errors/view the PDFs.
Is this a new problem or have you always had problems with the links? If it's a new problem, what has changed on your system?
Can you view other PDFs in your browser?
Have you moved any of the files since you created the report -- as you may know the HTML report references a specific lcoation on your hard drive and if you moved the PDF after creating the report, it may not be able to find the file.

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
 1. File>Print
 2. <ctrl + P>
 3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
 1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
 2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
 3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32
PageNumbers = Yes
PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled
PrintViewOnly = No
SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0
FontCompression = 1
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
