How to create a quality presentation in Acrobat 9 Pro

I think I got this, but I'm checking to make sure, even though I've owned the CS4 Master Collection for 2 years, I've done very little with Acrobat. Adobe Presenter is not an option for me at this time.
I own MS PowerPoint 2007, but my guess is that I can produce a better presentation using Acrobat than PowerPoint. It seems as simple as importing whatever still pages I have created/obtained in Photoshop or elsewhere and using the multi-media options to add audios & videos. Then, after appropriate adjustments in Edit>Preferences, just run it in full screen mode and I'm good to go.
Presuming Acrobat will handle image & video resolutions at least as well as PowerPoint, I ask for any suggestions, cautions, and best of all, maybe a good video tutorial on creating nice presentations using Acrobat.
Another question is whether it is better to start with PowerPoint and finish in Acrobat.
Finally, I love the portfolio revolve format, but there isn't a way to do this in presentation form, like by using a sort of full screen view without the menu bar, etc., is there?
Thanks, everyone.

I create presentations in my word processor. But I am not dealing with the audio and video issues. The latter can be added in Acrobat. In a typical use, Acrobat will ask if you want to run certain video or audio as a security check. That aspect annoys a lot of folks, but it is for your own good.
In my word processor (not WORD, but a technical word processor) I have a slide template and style sheet. If you like PPT, then you could also start there and add the audio/video when you get to Acrobat. LaTeX also has a slide template and a lot of dedicated LaTeX users start there and then create the PDF for the actual presentation. In any case, you generally need to create your content someplace else and then convert to Acrobat. Acrobat is not really an editor as your question could imply. However, you can bring together several pages created in other applications to make a final presentation.
Doubt I helped much, but maybe this provides some guidance.

  • HOW TO CREATE A DYNAMIC STAMP ON ACROBAT X PRO????????

    I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CREATE A  CUSTOM DYNAMIC STAMP ON ADOBE ACROBAT X PRO, I CAN EASILY CREATE A STAMP FROM A pdf FILE BUT WHEN TRYING TO INSERT A TEXT OR CHECK BOXES THEY DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO MY NEWLY CREATED STAMP WHEN I SELECT THAT STAMP ON THE STAMPS PALETE, PLEASE HELP AS ADOBE ACROBAT ONLINE SUPPORT EXEMPT THEMSELVES FROM SUPPORTING WHAT THEY CALLED "OLDER VERSIONS"

    If you need the kind of advanced dynamic stamp that it seems you want, one that prompts you for data to include in the stamp just prior to it being applied to the page, it will require JavaScript. In particular, it will likely best be done with a custom dialog, which requires some rather arcane scripting. I usually advise folks in your position to find someone to do this for you, at least for the first stamp. Feel free to send a PM if you'd like professional help.
    The following book has more information about custom stamps, but lacks much information about the type of dynamic stamp that you're wanting to create: http://www.amazon.com/About-Stamps-Acrobat%C2%AE-Paperless-Workflows/dp/0985614706
    That last part isn't a criticism of the book, which is very good. Custom dialogs are complicated, and using them with stamps adds more complication, so the subject really needs a book of its own to be handled thoroughly.

  • How to create a response file for Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I with to collect data from a PDF form made with LiveCycle Designer. The instruction say-
    After a user submits a form, open the returned form.
    In the Add Completed Form To Responses File dialog box, select one of the following:
    I am totally baffled as to where the Add Completed From to Responses File dialog box is. I cannot find such a thing.
    It is my understanding that once the dialog box found there are options, including creating a new response file. But, I can't find the box (and neither can my associates).
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    In Acrobat 9 Help look under 'Collecting and managing form data' and the other topics under this heading. It is in the "Forms" chapter.
    Collecting and managing form data
    When you distribute a form, Acrobat automatically creates a PDF Portfolio for collecting the data submitted by users. By default, this file is saved in the same folder as the original form and is named  
    filename_responses. You can use this file to compile returned forms.
    Collect user data
    1 After a user submits a form, open the returned form.
    2 In the Add Completed Form To Responses File dialog box, select one of the following:
    Add To An Existing Responses File
    Compiles the data in the response file that was created when you used the Distribute Form wizard to send out the form. (If necessary, click Browse and locate the response file.)
    Create A New Responses File
    Creates a new response file, using the name and location you specify.
    The response file opens after you click OK. Each returned form added to the response file appears as a component file of a PDF Portfolio.
    Compile form data
    1 In Acrobat, choose Forms > Compile Returned Forms.
    2 In the Compile Data dialog box, do one of the following to select a PDF response file:
    Click Browse, and then locate and select the response file.
    Type the path to the response file.
    3 Click Add File, and navigate to the returned form.
    4 Repeat the previous step as many times as necessary to add more returned forms. 
    After you click OK, the data from the selected forms is added to the response file. Each returned form appears as a component file of a PDF Portfolio.
    Add user data to an existing response file
    1 In Acrobat, open the response file.
    2 In the left navigation panel, click Add.
    3 In the Add Returned Forms dialog box, click Add File. Then locate and select the returned forms, and click Open.
    4 Repeat the previous step to add any returned forms in other folders. When finished, click OK. 
    When you finish, each added PDF form appears as a component file of the PDF Portfolio.
    Export user data from a response file
    Use this process to save all the entries in a PDF Portfolio response file to a spreadsheet or XML file.
    1 In Acrobat, open the response file and select the data to export
    2 In the left navigation panel, click Export.
    3 In the Select Folder To Save File dialog box, specify a name, location, and file format (CSV or XML) for the form data, and click Save.

  • How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

    How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

    It has already been said, but just to clarify the updates are what you would seem to call a minor update. The upgrades to a new major number (1>2>3>4>5>6>7>8>9>X>XI>??) are what you seem to call major updates. The upgrades are not free, but the updates are. Sorry for the numbering, I could not resist. I have been using Acrobat since version 2.

  • How to create a Xfdf doc. in Acrobat Pro 10 through code?

    Hi All..!!!
    I wanted to know whether there is a way to create an XPdf document in Acrobat Pro 10. I know that we can create a pdf document through code using the SDK.. I wanted to know whether the same can be done for XPdf documents..
    Thanks!! 

    Writing an XFDF is not that difficult; all you need is a tool allowing you to assemble text strings.
    The preferred way to get a sample on how the XFDF should look like is to export one from the form concerned, and to repeat it using your code. In this case, the document knows best how the XFDF should look like.
    Hope this can help.

  • How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
    according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
    In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
    Where do I go to edit email preferences?

    thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
    Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

  • How do I enable Task Panes in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I'm trying to use Acrobat 9 Pro at work, and I'm repeatedly being given instructions on how to do various things that all involve the Task Pane(s). However, at some point on this machine I (or the person before me, since I haven't ever used Acrobat before, most likely) somehow closed the Task Panes, and I've spent several hours on the internet trying to find how to re-open them again, to no avail. Please, there must be some simple button to press or menu item to enable for such a standard, oft-used feature. Help!
    PS - Also I've seen lots of "How-Tos" in my search that say "Go to View -> Show/Hide -> [...]" but I don't have a Show/Hide option in my View menu... is this only in Acrobat X and XI?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Thank you. Do you know if the Show/Hide Post Script is also an X/XI feature change?

  • How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

    In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
    I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
    I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
    The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
    I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
    If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
    But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
    Thank you for helping.

    George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
    All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
    IMPORTANT:
    Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
    Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
    Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
    My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
    Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
    Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
    Good luck and enjoy.

  • How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Is there a feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro similar to that in Bluebeam that allows the user to "flatten" the pdf? What this means is that images, text boxes and other additions to the pdf become seamlessly integrated into the pdf, guaranteeing they will display on other users' computers and when printed.

    I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
    The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
    Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
    Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
    I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
    Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
    Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

  • EMF graphics demaged in PDF created in Word 2010 with Acrobat X Pro,

    We export EMF from a modelling tool and insert the EMF graphics in Word (see Word window). Creating a PDF with Acrobat X Professional leads to a damaged graphic (see Acrobat window). It was no problem in the Word 2003 & Acrobat 7 Pro "suite"...
    What can I do to get embedded EMF graphics as before?

    Hi pwhite2315,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
    Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
    Let me know.
