How to: Flatten Adobe PDF Portfolio containing email and attachments

How do you flatten an Adobe PDF Portfolio in Adobe XI Pro.  The Portfolio contains emails with various attachments.  I need to produce a single PDF with all emails and attachments as "images/pages" (as they would appear when printed).  Attachments need to follow their corresponding email in order.  All links, metadata, etc. will be stripped out and various text redactions applied to the final PDF. 

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.

    The easiest way is to set up syncing between your iPad and laptop with iTunes. You can read how on the Apple website in the iPad section, or you can answer a question on their forums: www.apple.com.
    It's a really good idea to set up iTunes syncing so you can back up all the files on your iPad!
    On a one-by-one basis you could email a PDF, or use Dropbox, but synching is much better.
    Good luck!

    signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

    In XI.
    I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.  
    Convert to button is greyed out.
    Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
    I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
    Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    Part of the problem in helping is likely that there is no program Adobe -- that is the company name. You are in the Acrobat forum, but it sounds like you have subscribed to Export PDF or such, a different program. The subscription to Acrobat is currently $19.99 per month.

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

  • What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

    For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?  I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Thanks!  That is a very good question you post.  My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at.  My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions!  But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!
