How do I create a downloadable pdf link in DW?

I am setting up a web page but can't figure out how to make
it possible for viewers to download a pdf version of a resume from
the site? Any help...

post the resume, put a link to it.
if you don't want them viewing it in their viewer, zip it.
If you haven't already, you would be well served searching
through the
archives for the answer to your question. The archives can be
found here:

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

That's my question... simple I hope!
How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

On your web page select the text ot the object you want to link the pdf-file to.
Then open the Inspector window (View -> Show Inspector or alt-cmd-I) and open the Hyperlink tab (marked by the blue arrow).
Select "enable as Hyper link" and set the "Link to" selector to "a file".
In the File chooser select your pdf-file.
If your file is large, you might set the selector to "an external link". Then you enter the URL and it is would be your responsebility to upload the file to its site.

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
Thanks.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

How do I create a direct URL link to my iBook product page?

How do I create a direct URL link to my iBook product page? The Apple iTunes linkmaker webpage appears to have been updated recently --- and I can't create a direct link to my iBook, or any iBook for that matter.

No, not with a direct link to the iTunes product page which I can copy and use. However I found another work around by viewing another book's product page, then clicking "view more by this author" and found the link that way. Thanks for your reply.

How do I create a downloadable link from an Interactive PDF file created out of InDesign CS6?

Hello,
I created an Interactive PDF file out of InDesign and would like to make the large file a downloadable link and share it with the user in an email. I do not want to use DropBox or GoogleDrive.
The company I contract for has their own site - do I insert the file into the site or can I create a separate link for it?
I will be recreating these presentation PDF's constantly, so I would like to know if there is a simple way to create this link for files in the size of 7-12MB.
Any ideas on downloadable links? I do have flash - but rarely use, perhaps load the file out of flash?
Thank you so much for your help,
Megan

Hi Willie,
Thanks for your help. Most likely contact the company who maintains the
site then to share the file with them I'm assuming?

How do I create on-line PDFs which will read them to visually impared customers?

I have seen a handful of unanswered questions about getting Adobe Reader to read aloud, on-line or downloaded PDF content to people who are visually impaired. None of them seem to answer the questions about Acrobat X.1 or backward compatibility. Before I spend $45 for one chapter from a book, perhaps one of you experts know of a simple site which explains how to comply with the ADA Americans with Disabilities’ Act.
I know there are many variables like OS, Reader version and user ability to enable their sound card and configure a few settings.
This summary is excerpted from chapter 23 of The Acrobat X PDFBible by Ted Padova, published by Wiley. Follow the link further below to download the complete 16-page sample chapter. Adobe Acrobat is compliant with U.S. federal code regulating document accessibility for vision- and motion-challenged persons. This means that screen readers can intelligently interpret the PDFs you create; in other
words, PDF files can be read aloud in a reading order as a sighted person would read a document. Through an extensive set of keyboard shortcuts available in Acrobat, almost anyone with vision or motion challenges can share your documents and read them. In order for a document to be accessible, you must use authoring applications capable of delivering a document's structure to Acrobat. You need to know something about the internal structure of documents and which programs to use to create the structure required by Acrobat to make a document accessible. Not all the content in a document travels through the PDF-creation process with the information necessary to make a document completely accessible. Therefore, you need to perform some work in Acrobat to either add accessibility or to polish up a document for delivery to a screen reader in a form that makes sense to the user.
In chapter 23 of The Acrobat X PDF Bible, you will learn how to check documents for tags and accessibility, add additional tags and arranger eading orders. Topics covered include:
Using screen readers can interpret accessible PDF files and create audio output for people with vision and motion challenges. Using Adobe PDFMaker for Microsoft products, version 2000 or higher, including Word, Excel, Visio and so on; Adobe PageMaker 7 and higher; and Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe LiveCycle Designer, Adobe InDesign 2.0 and higher are capable of creating tagged and accessible PDF forms. Adding tags to PDF documents from a menu command within Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended. Checking files for accessibility with the Quick Check command in Adobe Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended or with a Full Check in Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended. Tagging documents so they contain a structure tree. Elements in the tree locate respective elements in the document if you enable the Highlight Content menu command. Adding alternate text to elements in Acrobat by addressing the element's properties. http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470612916.html
Thanks if you know something helpful

An accessible PDF is a well-formed Tagged PDF.
You start with the proper authoring application that has tag management (there are not that many - discussed below).
Your Tagged output PDF must be post-processed with Acrobat Pro.
You evaluate the post-processed PDF.
If satisfactory, you deploy the well-formed Tagged PDF.
Adobe Reader or Acrobat (from 8.x forward) both provide the read out loud feature (ROL).
While this is not equivalent to a full assistive technology (AT) application it can be useful for simpler narrative content.
However, PDF page content consists of graphic objects (text included) that are painted to the page in a sequence/order that is "machine" centric rather than human centric.
So, the raw print stream's read order can jump around.
(Look over ISO 32000-1 Forward paragraph 2 & Sections 8.1 & 8.2 to get a feel for what "PDF" is (& isn't).)
PDF became an ISO Standard in 2008. This is currently ISO 32000-1. ISO 32000-2 is expected to be out in 2012.
In terms of accessible PDF, ISO 14289-1 is expected to be out in 2012.
ISO 14289 will define/describe the requirements for accessible PDF.
Adobe introduced "Tagged PDF" with Acrobat 5.x (PDF version 1.4) "Full" release.
For Acrobat 5.x this was an add-on that you took from the install CD-ROM.
Since then "Tag" creation, management, etc. has been included with the install of:
(n.b., PDFMaker provides "tag management")
--| Acrobat 6.x Pro (PDF version 1.5)
--| Acrobat 7.x Pro & 3D (PDF version 1.6)
--| Acrobat 8.x Pro & 3D (PDF version 1.7)
--| Acrobat 9.x Pro & Extended (ISO 32000 & Adobe Supplement BaseVersion 1.7, ExtensionLevel 3)
--| Acrobat X Pro (ISO 32000 & Adobe Supplement BaseVersion 1.7, ExtensionLevel 3)
If the PDF is a well-formed Tagged PDF then ROL works its way down the structure tree (which can be viewed in Acrobat Pro's Tags panel).
A well-formed Tagged PDF (built to comply with ISO 32000 currently & going forward built to comply with ISO 14289 / ISO 32000 will, in fact meet current Section 508 criteria and Section 508 Refresh criteria.
Actually, it will met more rigorous criteria (Section 508, compared to other nations' requirements is somewhat anemic).
For English, ROL will read left to right; top down.
Not very useful for understanding tables and some other aspects of more developed content.
AT uses the structure tree to convey the PDF's logical hierarchy and semantic content flow to users.
So, a well-formed Tagged PDF is an essential for users of AT.
Section 14 of ISO 32000-1 provides discussion of logical structure and tags.
An ISO approved copy is at Adobe:
ISO 32000-1
In a nut shell, you'd want to provide a well-formed Tagged PDF.
To effectively consume a downloaded well-formed Tagged PDF end-users will want to use AT (NVDA (free, open source), JAWS, etc.) rather than Adobe Reader / Acrobat ROL.
As to Ted's PDF Bible.
I've got 'em on my bookshelf. Most excellent global references for all things Acrobat.
However, to deploy well-formed Tagged PDF requires more detailed references.
There is the up front authoring. Content must be mastered so as to support output of a well-formed Tagged PDF.
There is the requisite post-processing of the PDF with Acrobat Pro.
There is the requisite understanding of what the tags/elements are & how to properly use them.
There is the need for specific "how-to" with examples.
As to a "simple site" - - well, ahhh, "simple" precludes anything of usable worth, eh.
A search on variations of "accessible PDF" will provide links to resources that provide "how-to".
One resource is the Accessiblilty Forum at the Acrobat User Community.
AUC Accessibility Forum
An older thread there has links to Adobe "how-to" for various Acrobat releases.
An older list of reference material
As the core of Acrobat's accessibility features are largely the same since Acrobat 5.x older how-to documents are still useful.
For the most part, the most definitive discussions of the how-to & the why are in older Adobe documents.
Of course, stuff comes & goes out on the web so the links may or may not be functional.
(n.b., you'll have to copy-paste the URLs into a browser's address bar)
However, a search on a document's title may provide an alternative link.
If not, send me a forum PM.
Remember that the key to success (for a well-formed Tagged PDF) is in the authoring.
Proper authoring with an application that provides adequate Tag management is critical.
--| Adobe FrameMaker or InDesign with Acrobat Pro
--| MS Word with Acrobat Pro (for PDFMaker & ability to perform requisite post-processing of the PDF) for pre Office 2007
--| MS Word 2007 / 2010 have a Save As PDF feature that can provide tag management -- but Acrobat Pro is still needed to perform requisite post-processing
--| Open Office (& Acrobat Pro for requisite post-processing)
Be well...

How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email. As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business. Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly.
Thank you in advance,
~Kara

Yes, this is the page that the pdf is on. It's the link that says "Online Ordering Form."

Create a downloadable PDF

Hi There
I am trying to create a downloadable price list on this page http://www.justadwater.co.uk/BOS/pricing.html
I can create it so it automatically opens in my browser but I actually want the PDF to download to someones pc.
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong please.
The PDF and download links presently are not functioning on the server.
Thanks
Graham

Either:
a) leave it as a PDF and include instructions on the page for visitors to right-click "Save Target As" (which most will probably know anyway)
or
b) to force a download, zip the PDF, link to the zipped file and upload the zip file.

How do I create an accessible PDF for Thesaurus with many chapters, from InDesign CS 5.5 and Acrobat

Hi folks,
I have redesigned a Thesaurus (controlled vocabulary for an Agency's archives) in InDesign CS 5.5. I am now preparing an accessible PDF from the many files (using a Book created in InDesign). The front cover, front matter and back cover are not part of the Book, to keep the page numbering simple.
The Book includes two main sections, an Alphabetical display and a Hierarchical display of terms and their relations. I created chapters per alphabet listings, i.e. Alphabetical Display A, B, C, etc. So there are over 50 chapters, including cover, front matter, etc.
I've successfully made the front cover and front matter PDFs after viewing videos here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/ and downloading and using this recommended Action for Acrobat: InDesign CS5_5 Accessibility Touchup.sequ
Several questions specific to this project don't seem to be addressed in the videos, however.
First, I'd like to know if I can create an accessible PDF using the Book function > Export Book to PDF. Or do I need to make a PDF per chapter? The book has over 50 chapters (by alphabet, twice), so creating them one by one will take a lot more time, but I'll do it if that's the best practice.
After creating the PDFs, if I use (in Acrobat): Create > Combine Files into PDF to make one full PDF (over 600 pages BTW), will the final PDF retain accessibility settings? Do I need to run the Accessibility Report again for the combined PDF?
I used InTools.com Power Headers plugin to add a page header that automatically shows the new first term used per page. So, one chapter (with Chapter Title as H1) will have a different page header (which will be H2) per page, however the text flows through the whole chapter. I don't see where to add the page headers to the Article Window in InDesign. Do I add in this order: H1, H2, text (for whole chapter), H2, H2, H2, etc. Will I need to work on the PDF in Acrobat, where pages will be shown, in order to get the correct H2 with the correct text on the page? Am I missing something?
Will I have any issues with Bookmarks that requires a specific workflow?
I think that's about it, though I might run into more questions as I progress through the project.
Thanks, Marilyn

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.
