How to create a PDF with markup enabled for Reader users?

I have a bunch of Word 2007 documents containing project specs. I would like to be able to turn them into PDF documents that other people can markup using Reader. Is this possible?
I tried using the built-in PDF output module. It creates a PDF document, but it is not enabled for comments.
About halfway down on this comparison page,
     http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
there is a row that says,
     "Review documents using familiar commenting tools such as sticky
     notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps"
In the Reader column, there is a symbol in the Reader column that I guess is
supposed to be some sort of half-full container or something. At the
bottom, it says
     "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended."
This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create comment-enabled PDF documents, but either Pro or Pro Extended can. Is that correct?
If I buy Acrobat Pro, will I be able to use it to create comment-enabled PDF documents from my Word 2007 documents?
If so, how does it work? Will it convert the Word document? Will it convert the PDF document I create using the Word add-in? Can I invoke it from inside Word?
Thanks

It's very simple. Create your PDF from Word, open in Acrobat and use the Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. You cannot invoke it from within Word no.

Create ID PDF with Audio (multimedia) for Reader

Does anyone know how I can properly code my InDesign file so that the audio that I choose to embed will play back properly in Adobe Reader AS WELL AS Adobe Acrobat. So far I am getting conflicting results: In Acrobat the audio plays back once a particular page loads and then continues to play even if I navigate away from that page. In Reader if I navigate away then the audio stops.
Furthemore I cannot seem to get audio to play on Reader for mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, or HP TouchPad or even Android Phones and tablets.
How do I encode audio in my ID file for Reader for mobile devices? I'd rather ask in one thread instead of having to repeat myself in multiple threads across the various mobile OS Reader Forums.
Thanks in advance

How to create a PDF with clickable links for iPad?

Hi,
I need to create PDF files that contain hyperlinks which will work when opened on ipads. I've tried several programs elsewhere but the hyperlinks do not work when clicked on ipad devices. Does any of the Adobe software create hyperlinks that are clickable on ipads, please?

I really am most grateful for the information. I've been trying to resolve this issue for a few days.
Just to be certain, will Adobe Acrobat create hyperlinks that will open in the default ipad PDF reader, or do users need to open the PDF in Acrobat Reader?

How to create a pdf with the correct size?

Hi there
How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

PSE 8: How to create a pdf with several pages?

I want to deliver DINA4-Sheets (thats bacic European standard size of a sheet of paper for let's say writing an official letter) to print out in a copy-shop. Now the copy-shop-owner says, for him it will be much easier if I hand in my 10-20 pages in one pdf-file with 10-20 pages and not 10-20 single-paged pdf-files, cause then he only needs to do the colour-routines and adjustings once and not many times. Now there is the problem, in Elements 8 there is the option to save a psd as a pdf-file, but I don't know how to add the other files and make a pdf with more pages than just one. May be I need to do that with Scribus, a freeware prog.

Hello Barbara!
Your answer just proved extremely helpful. It worked that way. I first created a pse-file in the right document size. Then with copy and paste I imported the first page and flattened it to one layer. Then I chose to create the second pse-page, that shows automatically in the menue then with the pse-file open. Into the second page again with copy and paste I imported the second single sheet and flattened the second page too to one layer and so on. That way it works. Finally I first save in the pse-file and then save the whole thing as pdf.
Very easy to do. Thanks a lot!

How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

Hello Gurus,
I have a big question:
How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
Is that Possible?
Thanks!!!
rgds.
Miguel Angel.

Hi,
the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

How to create small PDFs with reasonable quality images?

Help me Obiwan Adobe!
There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
Thanks

A lot depends on the types of images you have and the resolution. You may be best adjusting the resolution first in InDesign and then creating the PDF. For the options in the export, you may have to ask in the ID forum since the export is an ID function. Printing to the Adobe PDF printer is the other that was suggested (I usually hear that the ID export is the best way to go, but I don't have ID to confirm). In printing to the Adobe PDF printer there are several options to consider -- one is the selection of the job settings to use. The default is Std that embeds all but the Adobe fonts and has a slightly lower graphics resolution than Press or Print settings. Also, in the advanced button of the Adobe PDF printer>layout (may vary with Acrobat version), select the Graphic>Print Quality and lower it. I use 300 dpi and several others recommend 600. The default is 1200 that is useless unless you are expecting folks to zoom to see fine details.
If you open the job settings Adobe PDF Settings>Default Settings (select one of the settings files - probably press or print, or try Std if you want) and check the graphic tab to see the resolution that will be used for the graphics. A combination of this resolution setting and the Print Quality should address your issues.

How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 prof which came bundled with ScanSnap.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I have been trying to 'Create pdf from file'.
Adobe won't load an RTF file, a Pages file or a Word file.
It tells me to use the source application and print with Adobe PDF. When I try to do this I get the message
Printer Ready
You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
I have tried software update but Apple has not supplied an update for the Adobe printer.
SO, what software do I need and where do I find it, to make Acrobat usable?

How to create multipage PDF with PS?

I have a 6 pdf pages, and need to create a single pdf with all 6 pages. PS Help states that can create multi page pdf using Generic PDF Files, “Created using the Photoshop Save As command, with Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities deselected in the General section of the Save PDF dialog box.” I did that but never found way to select/choose the 6 generic pdf files I created by deselecting Perserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities.
Is there a way in PS to create a multi-page pdf?

As of CS4, you need to do it in Bridge.

Create a PDF. with Illustrator that Adobe Reader Can Edit

How do I export a file to .PDF with a single line of text that can be edited with Adobe Reader. I'm Creating a sign template and the their is a spot for the price that needs to be changed every week with Adobe Reader. Is this possible

As Larry said, a simple form field would work. Just be aware, that there is no way to control the formatting inside the field. They really only can type in their price and have to live with any discrepancies compared to the rest of the text.

Is it possible to create a PDF with different colors for screen and printing?

I'm working on a document that features light colored text on a dark background. I'll be sending this document as a PDF to someone who will likely want to print it. Is it possible to set up the document such that it will display this way when viewed on screen, but will print as black text on a white background, without requiring any special action on the part of the recipient?
Printing a color separation of just the text color produces exactly the results I'm after, but I can't ask the recipient to do that. I need it to happen automatically any time it's printed.
I've tried setting up a duplicate text layer in black and placing it under the background layer, then setting the background layer and colored text to 'never print'. This works within Acrobat Pro, but not when I print the same document from Preview.
Is there an acrobat equivalent of a CSS print stylesheet?
Thanks.

Create the document in layers with the background on a seperate layer than the text. Export the PDF with"Create Acrobat Layers" selected (it will need to be at least version 1.5).
Open the PDF in Acrobat, choose the background layer then Options>Properties>Initial State and under "print" choose "Never prints".

How to create a PDF with substituted key-value and table-values using a template language

I have about 50 key-values and 10 table-values that I want to substitute into a formatted report template (language can be anything standard, would create a small number of these templates) and then use an Adobe tool to substitute the values into the template and produce a PDF. Preferably the template language would permit some basic conditional logic (if <key #> has value <value> then <show key label here> and <key value here> in close spatial proximity on the form) and permit embedding of a static graphic logo, text with fonts/styles, etc. to produce a polished report but also handle pagination (e.g. enable page breaks or numbering) to be handled automatically.
What is a recommended template language and product to accomplish this?

Are you thinking of something like a blank form that you can enter information into, save, and send to another user? If so, what you want is possible. If you want more information, post again and include more details about how you want to use it and how the recipient will use it.
