HT2506 See Preview PDF edits on iPad

I love Preview. Use it all of the time. Catch for me now is that I cannot see the edits made on various apps on iPad. It's like they are not there. What do others do for this?
Just yesterday (4/7/13) I added an annotation to a pdf in Preview, uploaded to Dropbox, and then opened on the iPad. I could see the edits in Dropbox, but I don't like the page turning in that app so I tried opening in a few other readers such as iBooks, Kindle, Docs to Go and PDF Splicer. None of them showed me the annotations I made. Is this a result of Sandboxing? What other app might someone recommend, and what is an effective and low cost app for adding notes on pdf on iPad. I use the iPad for teaching notes and other things and just need to quick add my own comments in a text box sometimes.
Thanks for any thoughts!

Secured PDF editable on iPad?

We have agents that use iPads to view some of the material we create at our home office. We secure the PDF, allowing no changes, yet we are hearing reports that these agents are able to still edit the PDFs when using their iPad. I'm unable to recreate this on my computer. Has anyone heard of this bug?

Thanks George, you have guessed it rightly. Adobe Reader v. 10.1.0 for iPad does not edit any type of pdf ( Secured or Non-Secured) . You may like to report this as a bug for that PDF Viewer, if possible share the pdf with us so that we can have a look and investigate.

One way to see the path is to press the command key and click on the title of the Preview window. You will get a display of folders corresponding to the path to the file. If you click on the entry just below the title it will open the enclosing folder and show you the file in the Finder.

Once you have the folder selected in its folder (from the previous step) inside the Finder (not Preview), you can do the Get info thing.

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad?

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad? They only stay in the Acrobat.com section and when I try to move them the "documents" partion is not listed as an option. Only the folders i have within acrobat.com are listed

The pdfs have been uploaded to Acrobat .com (from my computer) I open the Adobe reader on my ipad and see them in the acrobat partition of the reader. I tap on them and they open. To test whether they were truly downloaded ,I turn off wifi and they still open. I consider this "downloaded" BUT... they stay in the acrobat.com partition of the reader. Nothing ever goes or lives in the "Documents" partition..nor can I move anything there.....Why not? What is the"documents" partition there for if nothing lives or can be moved there?

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

How to edit text in a PDF on an iPad

Away from my iMac, I am trying to edit text on a contract PDF on my iPad. Have not been able to do so in any app I've found. Any suggestions?

PDFs are not meant to be edited (except minor edits such as adding a word or changing spelling).
Adding paragraphs and such is not accomplished very easily, even with Adobe Acrobat Pro.
If you want to change something, change the original docuemnt then print it to PDF.

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

PDF edits with Mac OS X Lion Aperçu don't show up on iPad: anyone with this issue?

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion, and an iPad 2 with iOS 5. If I edit PDF files with Aperçu, the drawings or texts I have added do not display on the iPad 2. Is this a known Apple bug? Does anyone else have this problem?

Actually, it is in iBooks that I have this problem with PDF files that have been edited with Aperçu. With iPad Safari, the PDF edits are displayed correctly, through Google docs PDF viewer; I have not tried with iPad Safari independantly from Google docs, but I think it won't work. It does not work in iPad mail for such edited PDF files that are attached to a message.

In Safari, open the menu named "Safari" then click Preferences and look on the General tab. At the bottom is "Open 'safe' files after downloading" -- do you have that option selected?

Which is Adobe product to be used for developing iPAD(IOS) applications that support PDF edit on the

Question:
We would like to know if LiveCycle ES 8.0 supports development of applications for IOS devices like iPAD,...
Our requirement is to build applications that opens PDF on an iPAD, let the user edit and save the PDF.
If not, which other Adobe product does?
Thanks,
Murali

If you want to add text as comments, then a form created in Acrobat (Acroform) will work in Adobe Reader for iOS. It does not support forms created in LiveCycle Designer (XFA). There are also other PDF viewers that support Acroforms and commenting. So you don't need to create an application, just documents (PDF forms) that can be opened in an existing application (PDF viewer) that supports forms and commenting.
If you want to edit/add text that is part of the regular page contents of an existing PDF, I'm not aware of anything on iOS that does that and I don't think Adobe has anything that will help you develop an app that will.

Looking for a PDF app for iPad

Hi,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this so I'm a believer that someone has created an app to help me and I can't find it!
Pretty much, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to edit PDF's on my ipad and then send it (Via WiFi or Bluetooth) to my laptop.
For example:
Drawing a graph on my ipad, with detailed information, sending that to my macbook and then adding/inserting it to my PDF file on my laptop
(Like getting a notification on my mac, loading it, draging it to my pdf, and vola!)
If there is such a thing can someone help me out (If not feel free to take my idea and makes some money off of it, just let me know that you did!)
Thanks

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps
Regards

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

Viewing a CMYK PDFX1/A PDF on an iPad and holding the color?

Hello,
Ok, here is an odd one...
We have a vendor where we need to supply a PDFX1/A 4/c PDF for the iPad version. When I view it on the iPad, it looks terrible...gets very bright, the colors aren't even close.
If I export the same InDesign file as an Interactive PDF option, it looks very close to the original on my screen and that is what I am looking for, but I have to show a PDFX1/a on the ipad, which is not an option in interactive pdf, just print pdf.
Does anyone know how to make any settings in the Export PDFX1/a option that would let it hold truer to the color viewed on the screen, when I view the same pdf on the iPad?
Is that even possible?
Thanks!
babs

You might try viewing such PDF files using the Adobe Reader for iOS that you can download for free from the Apple Application Store. It handles CMYK colors, spot colors with either CMYK or Lab alternates, and live transparency much better than the built-in iOS Preview program. FWIW, there is nothing you can do with the export settings to make this any better if your vendor foolishly insists on a PDF/X-1a file. (A PDF/X-1a file is really only appropriate for printing under some conditions!) At least with PDF/X-4, any original RGB image and vector content will remain as RGB and display with much higher fidelity. Furthermore, transparency won't be ruined by flattening it when producing the PDF file. Such transparency flattening is what yields those stupid white lines that you see when viewing such files on the screen.

Ability to fill in PDF's on ipad

I have a fire safety inspection form in PDF format that I would like to use on the ipad.
I have been able to open it but cannot fill in any of the fields.
Does anyone know of an application that I can use to fill in PDF forms on the ipad? If not can they be converted somehow to open as fillable forms in pages or numbers?
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
So far there's nothing for the iPad that will convert a PDF file into an editable one. There is one app, iAnnotate, that will let you, in effect, draw on the PDF file. But that isn't the same as actually editing it. However, you could fill it in that way and then do the real editing when you get to the office on your regular computer. Converting a PDF file to, say, a Word document is a very complex procedure. Even Word itself can't do it. You need Adobe Acrobate Standard, at least, a $200 program if you're buying it new. So I trust you realize that there's not much hope you'll see a PDF converter on the iPad anytime soon! 
