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!!!

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.

Hello,
How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
I don’t see any link?
1.      We have a subscription.
2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
Only the tekstlinks are OK.

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.

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.

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 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)
    case "123":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");

        DropdownListe2.addItem("789");

    case "456":

        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");

How to create a Jar with only class files?

Dear all,
I want to create a jar file with only classes.My class files and java files are in different folders under com .
say
com
in com there are two folders
folder 1 -- subfolder 1
folder 2 -- subfolder 2
like this.
If i want to create a jar file from com directory how should i give the jar command.Again my jar should contain only .class files.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
lekshmi

It doesn't work.Says "No such class or directory"
Any other way Or is it possible to do so?Read the link I posted and create the statement to make your structure. I was thinking you were inside the com directory but if you are above it you will need something like this instead:
jar -cf test.jar com\*.class com\subfolder1\*.class com\subfoler2\*.class
But either way don't just copy and past this. Think about what is does so that you can make it work for you.
Also, you might want to look into using Ant if you are going to be building this a lot.

How to create a .flv with only audio?

So what I'm looking to do is have sound play on my landing
page...the problem is, I used .fla file and it won't play until the
entire thing is loaded. I know how to get progressive play with a
flash video file, but I don't know the best way the convert an mp3
file in to video...
What I'm looking to do is simply have sound start playing as
soon as they land on the page, I don't want them to have to wait
for the whole thing to finish loading first...anyone who knows the
simplest way to accomplish this?
Sorry if it's a simple question, I was going to shell out
some money for 'flash for dummies' or something similar, but since
I generally don't work with flash and just want to do this one
thing I'd thought I'd check on here first ;)
Thanks

To do what you want, my approach is to create a small (160 X
120) movie
consisting of a single black frame in AfterEffects or
QuickTime Pro and add
the MP3 file as a sound track. With the movie completed,
import it into the
Flash Video Encoder to create the FLV. Then, in Flash, play
the movie using
the FLVPlayback component. The player can even be placed off
the stage so
that the black frame is never seen. Set the ContentPath of
the player to an
external file, the one you created earlier.
Since the file had only a single black frame, the video track
will
contribute very little to the size of the FLV; it will be
mostly audio.

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

How to create a view with parameters; read the documentation but nothing!

Hello!
I'm new to the Oracle world but together with my coworkers we need to very quickly study Oracle to figure out whether we'll add Oracle to our list of supported databases or not.
Question: How do I create a view with parameters?
I've read the documentation but I could not find this! I found the sql syntax to create a view but no parameters whatsoever...
I have found on the web some very complicated way of doing this, but doesn't Oracle support Views with parameters?
The goal here is to return a recordset, don't forget, so,please don't speak about stored procedures unless you are going to tell me how to get a recordset out of a stored procedure! ;)
Thanks for all your help and attention!
Jorge C.

You can set up a parameterized view via context as follows:
1. Set up a procedure to set your context values:
create or replace procedure p_set_context (p_context IN VARCHAR2,p_param_name IN VARCHAR2,p_value IN VARCHAR2)
as
BEGIN
sys.dbms_session.set_context(p_context,p_param_name,p_value);
END;
2. Create your context using the procedure you just created
create or replace context my_ctx using p_set_context
3. This is the test table I'll use
create table my_table(col1 number)
and populate it:
begin
for v_index in 1..10
loop
insert into my_table values(v_index);
end loop;
end;
and the view that will be parameterised
create or replace view v_my_table as select col1 from my_table where col1 between sys_context('my_ctx','start_range') and sys_context('my_ctx','end_range')
4. Now set the parameters using the procedure above.
begin
p_set_context('my_ctx','start_range','1');
p_set_context('my_ctx','end_range','5');
end;
5. Selecting from my_table will give you 1 to 10 (no surprise there :-) )
selectng from v_my_table will give you 1 to 5
You can use the context to set formats etc using the same principle. A common gotcha to watch for is trying to set the context directly using DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT instead of creating a procedure. This belongs to SYS and SYS won't have the privileges to set your context so you get an insufficient privileges result leading to much headscratching and unnecessary grants (at least that's my understanding of it).
Sorry Jorge, as you're new to Oracle I should also have pointed out for completeness sake, that you can change the parameters at any time through recalling the p_set_context, for example, following on from above, after your "select * from v_my_table" and seeing 1 to 5, you could then do
begin
p_set_context('my_ctx','start_range','3');
end;
and when you requery 'Select * from v_my_table' you will now see rows 3 to 5.
Bit of a simplistic example, but you can see how easy it is. :-)

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 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.

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 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?
