How do you create PDF that works across different OS?

Please advise how to create proper PDF from Acrobat XI so that I can pass this on to a person who is generating files that do not work for me on a Linux system.  Because I use Linux I cannot use Acrobat, but I have no problems with files created by other people on Windows or Mac systems.
I still own some Adobe products for use on old PCs hence my ability to post this question.

It is clear that you did not receive the email I forwarded with attachments.  I have placed various files at:

Please download these.  The first file listed above was created by saving a copy after opening the file while it was attached to the email.  It is not searchable.  If I saved the file from the email I could not open it.  The December newsletter is searchable as is the annula report.  The email exchange provides more details of my problems with the files.

  • In an InDesign book, how can I create links that work across documents?

    The hyperlinking works fine when it is contained within a single document in a book, however doesn't work across documents.

    Do you mean cross-references? You can do those, but they are known to be "fragile" and unreliable.

  • How do you create PDF of multiple layers in Illustrator CS3 so each layer is on separate page?

    I am using CS3 and designing business cards. I have 10 names layed out as a separate layer in Illustrator.
    I am now trying to save the Illustrator file as a PDF so that each business card appears on 1 page in 1 PDF document.
    The PDF is saving as one page with all the names jumbled together rather than as separate pages. Clicking "Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers" does not work. Does anyone know how to save multiple page PDF from a layered Illustrator file? Thanks.

    with a script probably check with the Illustrator scripting forum
    the is away you can manually do it but it is quite cumbersome you make a document large enough to tile to the number of pages you need in the pdf.
    then position in order of the tiles the art  and as you position the art you also create a new layer for that art. You don't actually have a different layer in this case for each page you just really need the art properly tiled.
    You then have to print to pdf or to postscript and then distill.
    Like I say very cumbersome but it was the way they use to do it. CS 4 makes this easier though different layers would still require a script.
    Best to use different artboards.

  • How do you create pdfs in CS5?

    My ad department currently uses CS4 along with QuarkXpress. I create pdfs in Quark by using Distiller, converting postscript files to pdfs. However in CS4, If you upgrade Acrobat 9 you will lose the Distiller function. Does CS5 Acrobat X Pro for mac have Distiller? I've searched around this website and it looks like it's provided for PC. Will I be able to use it for a mac? If not how do I create a pdf in CS5? Will there be an Acrobat printer driver? I liked how in Distiller you can set up different printer settings such as how good the resolution would be for a pdf. I'd like to get an answer before purchasing this product and installing it.

    There are beoming more and more reasons to stop using a distilled postscript workflow and Apple inadvertantly negated the abilty with Snow Leopard. (You know that the print industry is evolving. Your clients are going to expect pdf files with live links, bookmarks, interactive elements; all features lost in distilling.)  The "we've done it this way for years" attitude needs to be rethought. If you're print vendor dictates distilling postscript files, they haven't updated either their equipment or their webpage for a decade or both!
    On a PC, you will not lose the ability to create and distill postscript files with any update, and to my knowledge, AA 9 (no  longer available) does not hinder the ability on Mac, but rather an update to OSX 10.6 does.
    Your mention of CS4; is that in reference to the Adobe Creative Suite, or a stand alone product - Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. All Adobe products create pdf native from the application. If your daily version of Quark does not offer the same ability, you need to keep current and update or stray in the past.

    In a pervious thread the notion that hyperlinks withiin a PDF document deployed on an iPad do not work.
    Is there a work around?

    The Word document is a summary prepared by an author with embeded hyperlinks. Works on the desktop but nothing happens in iOS.

    Would be a useful addition in the next release...

  • How do you create a pdf for client approval?

    Do any of you create pdfs for approval from you InDesign docs? We have to put our work through an approval system in pdf format and I can't think of how to do this with things like scrollable frames and popups.
    Any ideas would be great.
    Cheers
    Graeme

    Thanks Bob,
    I've just tried that out, not perfect but definitely a great idea. Scrolling text will still be a bit painfull but I think we can live with that.
    I'll have to try it again at work with a faster WIFI as it was a bit slow on mine here.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • We are creating templated pdf's for Buscards? How do you create so fillable is in pms color Ripping

    We are creating templated PDF's for our new web to print software.  How do you create the fillable pdf so that when ripped it will separte the pms colors?  Our designers say that the fillable text can only be in black and can't be in a pms color?
    Thanks
    Paul

    I see. It's true that form fields do not support spot colors. I know you can flatten form fields, converting the field text to regular text, and embed the fonts using Preflight. What I don't know is if you can then convert the font color to spot (maybe using Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors), but it's worth looking into.

  • How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    Here's the help page that describes using the tab stops:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS35CA53B6-EAFF-499a-A600-DCD85686354Da.html
    Let me know if that's clear as mud and I'll try to shed more light on the subject.
    One thing that isn't specified/clarified/whatever (and was the biggest stumbling block for me when I first tried this in PPro 1.5) is that the ruler for the tab stops is zeroed at the edge of the text box, and tab stops ONLY work in text boxes (or "text area," however you please). At any rate, you have to position that ruler so that the zero point is at the left edge of your text box, and then the rest of the instructions in the help doc will make sense.
    Also, it's useful to show the tab markers while you work. Just go "Title > View > Tab Markers" and you're good.
    Hope this helps!
    As a side, I have found that this one feature is really the best and most useful part of the PPro titler (and also, just about the only function in the titler that WON'T cause your system to crash on a regular basis).
