In what program was this PDF created from?

Hi,
I hope someone can clue me in on how this PDF was made where I'm guessing if you have the regular Adobe Acrobat reader you can edit/interact with the file. I really love to know if there is a tutorial that can teach me how to create empty square text field for edits by other people. Here's the link
http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/formd.pdf
I was thinking the document could have been done in Adobe InDesign or even Microsoft Word but I doubt it. And I think there might be some XML involves that I have never learn how to or know what it is.

There are any number of programs that can create a PDF form. Adobe has Acrobat, LiveCycle Designer, LiveCycle ES, InDesign. Third party providers inlcude Open Office Org and Nitro PDF. It is even possible to add form fields in a PS file and have Distiller create the form. You might want to look at the Acrobat Users Community for tutorials and eSeminars about creating forms.

What version was this PDF created in?

I have a PDF that was uploaded to our website. If I save it to my computer and look at the properties I only see detail reflecting my version of Adobe Reader
. Is there a way for me to see what version of full Adobe was used to create this file?

What program was used to create the Firefox intro video? Really good!

I downloaded Firefox for the first time and watched the overview video. It is very engaging - I'd like to know what programs were used to create it. Camtasia, Captivate, Flash for example.
Thank you,

Within which program was a PDF created?

Hello,
I have a PDF document created with MS Word 2010 -- but I do not know if this pdf was created with Acrobat Pro oder something else:
Document properties, tab "Description", "Application": "PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2"
When I am converting such a DOCX file with Acrobat X Pro, there appears the entry "Acrobat PDFMaker 10.1 for Word".
But what means "PScript5...."?
thanks!

Go back to WORD and print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer. I am pretty sure that will create the property you found. PDF Maker and the printer are different processes now and I think that is the print driver you are seeing in the properties. You might also try the WORD plugin and see the property that gives. I am on the wrong machine to try the variations, but the variations in the creation process may answer your question.

Why would you say that LiveCycle is the only thing to recommend (but isn't available for Macs) then bring up InDesign?
If it can't be done by the Mac OS (she hasn't mentioned what she has) then it can be done with Acrobat. She asked about a program to create PDF files. That's pretty much what Acrobat does.
where is whatI said.
Being That LiveCycle designer is not availble for Mac. That would be about the only thing to recommend. InDesign Maybe but more pricey.
The part I've underline refers to Acrobat. InDesign Maybe but more pricey referes to, Indesign being more expensive than Acrobat.

How to find out what software was used to create a document?

Hello:
I was sent a file to work with and it was supposedly made using a Mac computer, but I can't open it. How can I find out what program was actually used to create this document. It ends with xxxxx.rsrc. I even tried to open it on my PC and it says there is no default application specified to open the document.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried opening your file with Textedit?
Also, if you select the file from the Finder and type cmnd-I (Get Info), it should tell you what program can be used to open it.

Adobe 6.0 Pro--PDFs created from multiple PDFs don't have bookmarks from structure?

I'm working with my company's 6.0 Pro (old, I know, but what we've got is what we've got,) on a Windows 7 machine. I've read online that in 6.0, PDFs created from multiple PDFs, by defaut, should have bookmarks from structure that use the original filenames as the bookmark names. I was surprised to read this, because ironically enough this is precisely what I began looking online to see if I could do, and all I could seem to find then were ways to get rid of that function. I don't believe that our installation has been modified in any way, but the binders I'm creating don't automatically have bookmarks from their structure, nor do the bookmarks I'm creating from the structure by menu command have the original file names as their names. Such an automatic bookmark structure w/ that naming scheme would in fact be very helpful in our workflow, as we deal with large volumes of files where outside data paired with file names needs to be one-to-one matched against the actual pdf contents, and opening files individually is time consuming. As of now, when I go to create bookmarks from structure in my document made of multiple pdfs, I have two choices: "Document", which only creates a bookmark to the first page of the whole thing, and "Part," which creates bookmarks to the first pages of all the documents that were combined, with each bookmark named "Part."
We would be satisfied with nameless bookmarks except that the combine feaure is also unreliable. It usually switches the first and last files of the alphabetical order, but not always, meaning that we can't rely on bookmark order to know which file we are looking at once the binder is created.
What I'm hoping to discover is if this behavior for 6.0 Pro is really abnormal and if so, what fixes or workarounds might be available. Thanks.

Just to clarify --
"... should have bookmarks from structure ..."
Not true.
If a PDF is tagged then Acrobat Pro can create new Bookmarks from the PDF's structure (from the Bookmark panel's Options menu).
Currently there is no other mechanism for this.
This may change after PDF-2 (ISO 32000-2) is released but that is still out on the timeline.
Just some things to consider.
When combining multiple PDFs into a new, single PDF click on the Options button and tick "Always add bookmarks..."
This should give you the filename. If a PDF has an entry in its "Title" this will be a bookmark nested under the top (filename) bookmark.
Also, when combining PDFs if there is no entry in "Tiltle" expect to see the filename as a bookmark.
It there is an entry for "Title" expect to see the "Title" entry as the bookmark.
What you describe for the elements/tags "Document" and "Part" are consistent with what they are and how they are permitted to be used in a tagged PDF.
(See ISO 32000-1, Section 14.8)
Be well...

Creating TOC Bookmarks in a PDF created from Microsoft Word

Does anyone know how to modify PDF creation settings so that bookmarks are automatically set from the Table of Contents in the PDF version of a Microsoft Word document? This is possible in Windows using word and Acrobat Pro. But it's not automatic in the OSX-resident PDF creator and I can't find any way to modify preferences. I'm using Word 2004 (11.3.5) for Mac. Thanks!

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Hi presottom
Please refer ; http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-printing-acrobat-reader.html

Let us know more details about it to help you better ?
What is the OS ?
is there any error message , etc .. ?

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page. I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks CtDave, for the further info. Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF. One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF. (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.) However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF. It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method. I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
.....Also, thanks Test Screen Name: I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf). But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
Kind regards,

What Universe was used to create a report?

Is there any way to tell what Universe was used to create a specific report, Also is there anyway to tell what Universe connection a specific Universe is using?
Thanks

Hey Ted,
Thanks but I got an error when I tried to do this. Here is the query that I used. Any thoughts?
Select * from CI_APPOBJECTS WHere SI_KIND='Universe' And SI_CUID='<ASBJCyAKjL1FhG1pNAMsor4>'.
and here is the error

Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack.

Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

Hi,
Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your reply!
I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.
