I need to make my PDF document to contain Hyperlinks for future editing

I am making up some documents (initially in CS) which will have some details that will later need to be edited. Such as dates, etc. In those areas of the document; I believe I can add a hyperlink for that purpose. I only want these parts of the document to be editable so that the general design of the document cannot be changed.

Keep in mind that PDF (the technology / file format defined and discussed in the ISO Standard - ISO 32000) is not supportive of word processor like "editing".
Touchups of characters and character strings is tolerated. Acrobat provides robust support for touchup but when misused to try word processor like "editing" you can expect to goober the PDF into an unusable condition.
Output initial content to PDF. Have the PDF reviewed making use of the Comment and Drawing Markup tools that both Acrobat XI and Adobe Reader XI provide.
Refer to these reviewer annotations to update the authoring file.
Output a fresh PDF and perform another round of reviews.
Repeat the process.
When the authoring file is "good" output a PDF for distribution / deployment.
Be well...

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

    I need to use the PDF editor so I can sign or edit documents already on pdf format. Please advise?

    As per my understanding , To disable the field RV45A-KWMENG based on the condition for Transaction VA01/VA02.
    The conditions which i need to check is Order Type and item category.
    I understand that this is the code which i need to insert for disabling the field but i have a question here, where is the condition here and how the system understand for this field RV45A-KWMENG it has to disable. I think we need give the condition as if RV45A-KWMENG....... Another one if iam not wrong we need check that it has to be done in VA01 and VA02 then only this condition should be executed.
    IF VBAK-AUART EQ 'XXX' OR VBAP-PSTYV EQ TANN .
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'XXX'.
    SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Please suggest me the better way how can i do it in the coding.
    Awaiting for ur prompt reply.

  • When viewing a PDF document; cant you search for a keyword anymore?

    Hello (me again lol) prior to 2.2 Software upgrade I recall that when viewing a pdf document I could search for certain keywords; now I cant figure out how.
    First off, again I'm using 2.2 Software on Verizon' HTC Incredible.
    Next up when viewing a pdf I believe its using Adobe Reader.  I have a few options but one thing I cannot find is "search" or even 'go to" (page number)
    I believe Quck Office doesnt pull up any PDFs so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to search for keywords; thanks

    If you are using the Quick Office Application or the PDF Viewer, make sure both applications are updated to the newest versions.
    You can do that by going to the Android Market Place on the device, then press menu and download, then you can see applications that can be updated.  
    To check for updates while using Quick Office, press the Menu button, then select Updates. Quickoffice will automatically check for updates to your software.
    You can search for text strings in your document using Quickword. Switch to Reflow View, then press the Menu button, and tap Search. A text entry field will appear at the top of your document. Enter the text you wish to search for and tap the search icon to the right of the text field. Quickword will highlight all instances of the text you are searching for.
    Copy and paste the link below into your browser's address bar for more information.

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

  • I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

    I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like  microsoft office products ...excel, word etc.  I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
    13-inch: 2.6GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2

    That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
    Good luck in making your decision!!

  • I need to make a pdf form that is fillable and send from ipad to email not tracked just the complete email. Can someone help me.

    I have forms that I have created with submit buttons, that are filled out and sent complete to an email box.  I would like to do the same only have my form filled out on an ipad and then have the submit button send the completed form the same way.
    I don't want to gather the data, since i am doing this for another department.  They want to track there own data via the Pdf's they receive.  Is this possible?

    majende,
    Adobe Reader for iOS does support a Submit button.
    (a) Button action to submit an entire PDF document via email
    (b) JavaScript submitForm to Adobe FormsCentral
    Do you use the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF form?
    For option (a)
    Add the "Submit a form" action to your Submit button.
    Enter "mailto:" (including a colon) followed by email recipient(s).  Please add a comma between two email addresses.
    Example: [email protected], [email protected]
    Select "PDF The complete document".
    This particular type of PDF form will work with Adobe Reader desktop and mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
    In Adobe Reader for iOS, a user can do the following steps to submit the particular type of PDF form.
    Fill out the PDF form.
    Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.
    Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the Share File dialog.
    Adobe Reader for iOS will automatically fill in the email address(es) that you specified when you created the PDF form.
    Tap the Send button in the upper right corner.
    Adobe Reader for iOS will send the PDF form as an email attachment via Apple Mail (the default mail app for iOS).
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Make a pdf document default to open in Acrobat on other computers

    Ok - so I know one must make their own computer default to use Acrobat to open pdf's... but I know most macs default to 'Mac Preview' and you have to manually change this. A lot of 'non computer type' people just don't bother. So I wondered if there is anyway to make the pdf itself open in Acrobat on other people's machines, despite what their defualt setting is?
    I've used links etc in my pdf to make it interactive, and they don't work well in Preview, so I want to make sure people are viewing it correctly. Any ideas? Thanks!

    It's not that simple as you have to take account of three things:
    Many third-party solutions have no forms support
    Some have bits of JS but not all - you may for example be in a mobile version of Reader, or in Acrobat with enterprise feature lockdown.
    Some third-party apps that do have rudimentary JS engines declare the same software ident strings as Acrobat or Reader, specifically to avoid triggering a detection script.
    Rather than using forms, the most efficient method is to use a layer (OCG) that is visible by default, and is subsequently hidden by a doc-level script. Most third-party apps, even those with no forms support, will still happily render OCG content. It'll even display if someone imports the PDF into an editing program.
    Getting code to reliably detect that it's running in the Acrobat Family is difficult but not impossible - but you don't trust the ident string until you know you're in Adobe code, instead you sniff for API objects inside try-catch loops, which the third-party apps cannot implement. Some of the security handler options are nice and Adobe-specific.

  • Free Way To Make A PDF Document?

    Hello everyone, I am interested in writing my own ebook, but I'm not sure how to actually go about writing it. Can anybody recommend the best way to write a pdf document, or at least point me in the right direction so I can learn more about how to do it? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Openoffice (openoffice dot org) works very well with Acrobat Michael and in my experience is more stable in doing so than Word.
    One quick caveat: when you create a Word document and you are constantly modifying and saving that same document for months or years as you write the book, the file may become 'unsavable' as a PDF.
    The solution?
    Copy and paste the whole file into a new document or do it in OpenOffice from the start.
    I learned this the (very) hard way.
    Have a great day.

  • PDF Document requests a password for opening despite not setting it up to do so

    I created a secure pdf document that is to be downloaded from a web site. Upon downloading, users should be able to open/view the pdf without having to enter a password, but would need a password to be able to edit or make changes to the document. When testing the document and downloading from the web site, I am prompted for a password even though I did not set the pdf to request one for opening the document.
    Can someone please help me undertand what's going on. I've tried a million things with no luck!
    Thanks!

    Can you post the file somewhere for us to look at?

  • How to reduce a PDF document that contains an Adobe XML form?

    Hi,
    I have created some fillable PDF files using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and used Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to save it as Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save)…
    The form includes image, text field, check box, radio button, table and other controls, as well as java scripts behind. The files are from 1 to 3 MB in size. I tried Reduced Size PDF and Optimized PDF, but I got a message: “This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.”
    My questions are:
    Is there a way I can reduce the file greatly, say about 100 KB?
    And after the size reduced,  does it still keep the original quality in format and function?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    if you only use default fonts like Arial or Myriad don't embed fonts into the form at all.
    If you have to use a specific font because of corporate identity you should check if there are fields in your fom using other fonts like Arial.
    Especially floating fields are a reason for big files as they use Designers default font even if you'll never see it in the PDF.
    When using images, you should not check the "embed" checkbox, as this will save the images a base64-stream into the xml-source.
    If unchecked the images are stored as hex-stream in the PDF-stream which cause a smaller file size.
    Also, don't use high res images, 150dpi are far enough. You also don't need 16Bit depth as Designer only supports 8Bit images with RGB colors.
