Initial View issues with PDF portfolio

I am creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat 10.1.1. The layout is Freeform, when I save it and email it to clients, it never opens to the same size, depending on their screen size or window size, it either stretches or squeezes the file folders and the become out of place (and cover up other things). Is there a way to set the properties of the pdf portfolio so that it always opens up to a certain size? there for no matter what size the monitor is my clients use, it will open to how its designed? I know you can set up pdfs to open up at 100%, 500%, fit to window, actual size, etc.. but I want to take those properties and apply it to the pdf portfolio..
Thanks

Hi "the Conditioner",
For a FreeForm portfolio you can set the default size of the icons ("cards").
You may want to play around with the options to see what works best for you.
To change the size of the cards, do the following:
1. Open the portfolio.
2. Ensure you are in "Layout" mode. You can click the "Layout" button to do so.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. On the upper right menu, click Layout to bring up the Layout panel.
5. At the very bottom of the Layout panel is the "Portfolio Properties".
6. Change the "Card Size".
Your choices are Small, Medium, Large and Auto-Size.
7. Save the portfolio. Close the portfolio (don't close Acrobat).
Resize the Acrobat window. Open the portfolio (File > Open or from the recent files list) and see how it looks in different size windows.
Hope this helps,
Charlene

Initial View in a PDF Portfolio

I have just started using the new portfolio feature, I have four forms that I've combined. I am using the Grid with Preview option to layout the files. When I open the portfolio it always opens to the same page in the second form, how do I change it to open to the first page of the first form?

Michael,
Can you explain precisely?
Cover Sheet? In Acrobat Pro 9? Where?
A search in the Help file returns nothing when searching for "Cover Sheet" or even "Welcome Page."
In Acrobat Pro 8, there was an explicit command to set the currently viewed document as the start document.
The Help files describe setting an Initial View for a Portfolio; but when you select Portfolio Properties... from the File menu, you get a Document Properties dialog, not a Portfolio Properties dialog. You only get an Initial VIew pane for a document.

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

Initial View of a PDF

Is there any way to have more than one panel display in the initial view of a pdf? Say, to show the bookmarks and attachments upon opening the pdf?

For something that is not in the selection menu you will likely have to get by using JavaScript. You might want to go through the JavaScript manual and see if it helps. Keep in mind that many are turning off JavaScript for the same reason as with browsers -- the source of viruses. Might be worth a try. As far as I know there is no default that you could check otherwise.

Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.

Issue with PDF

Hi All,
i facing issue with PDF format .
we developed smartform and we are using standard program SAPF150D2.
we did translation for that form englsih to EURO.
Now if we see output in OTF format , it showing correct way in EURO.
but , i we see same layout in PDF format,
Insted of showing ( ' )this letter, it is showing # in the PDF layout.
Is there any pointer to know soultion for this.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
JBR

This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

Initial View set with epilogue.ps when exporting pdf from Indesign

Hi all. After years of Quarking, Freehanding, Pagemakering and my favourite, Indesigning, i finally got down to investigating a one step solution to setting the initial view in pdfs.
When distributing pdf 'layouts' and 'proofs' to clients i always set the pdf's initial view to fit page before emailing. It is simply the pro thing to do, and allows for a client to view the 'big picture' without having to first see a close-up of the top of a layout or design.
In the same breath i would set a business card layout to open at 125% or 150% so they get a feel for the actual size of finished product.
Well all these years of pdf proofing i have been hitting the old ⌘-D in Acrobat and manually setting initial view to fit page. Then ⌘-S and "bobs your uncle".
Ready to email.
Huge deadlines aside, this morning i woke up early, and decided to have a good look online as to what one can do to automate this small, but oh so repetitive task. Well reading about the prologue.ps and epilogue.ps, got me really excited, especially when i implemented a little postscript tweak to the epilogue.ps, and distiller saw it through beautifully.
Alas my elation was short lived as it seems Indesign uses it's own 'distiller' so to speak and does not see the epilogue.ps.
And i am definitely not going to start printing ps files to a 'watched folder'. I spent years distilling manually, and since Indesign and it's superb built in pdf-ing, i have never looked back.
So looks like we are all gonna have to continue ⌘-D ing, till adobe picks this up and changes the build to accomodate.
Just wanted to put this out there, and see perhaps if anybody has another take on this one. Am i missing something. If i am please let us all know.
Many thanks,
Rupert Pluck

If you upgrade to InDesign CS5, there are two ways to export a PDF file: (1) For Print. This this does not include the option to set Initial View (2) For Interactive. For Interactive PDF's you can set the Initial View in InDesign.

How to set default folder view in Outlook PDF Portfolio?

I'm using Acrobat 9.0 within MS Outlook 2007 to create a portfolio of a folder with subfolders. I would like the initial portfolio view to mimic a typical Outlook view with folder list and reading preview pane. I can create said view in the PDF file by splitting the window vertically and clicking my way to the desired folder level. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to save those choices as a default under Portfolio Properties or elsewhere. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.

Can no one help me? No one at all?

Issues With PDF Template Mapping

Hi all,
Oracle BI Publisher for Windows 10.1.3.2.1
Oracle Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.2.1
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5
Broswer IE 6.0.29
I have created a report based on a single database table (DEMO.PRODUCTS) but am experiencing problems when I try and map the form fields in PDF Template to my sample XML file.
I created a PDF Template and uploaded this template to my Layout. This PDF Template has two form fields on it (PRODUCTNAME and UNITPRICE, which incidentally are the names of the database columns I want them to map to).
I have also uploaded my sample XML data file and therefore have access to the Map Form Fields button on my report definition. However, when I click on the button a new window opens with the Map PDF Form Fields and a dialog to "Click on each highlighted...." and then hangs. When I close the window I receive a message about an Adobe Acrobat error.
If I try and do the same thing in Firefox then I receive a message in the JavaScript Console:
Acrobat Database Connectivity Built-in Functions Version 5.0
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 5.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Functions Version 5.0
TypeError: app.execDialog is not a function opened this in Adobe Acrobat
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
Many thanks,
Gary.

How do I correct a problem with PDF Portfolio Links

Problem with links.
Converting a page from MSWord to PDF is presenting problems:
I have changed preferences to deselect the Convert Word Bookmarks option;
The straight conversion retains the links;
Adding the file to PDF portfolio breaks the latest link;
Using the link tool and go to page option tries to open the page (file) but I receive instruction to download Acrobat Reader 9 (I already have the latest reader installed (9.3), have checked it and repaired it);
Attempting to download the Reader (I cannot move on – the page is full screen and will not be minimised) the download is blocked at the end.
I have rebuilt the Portfolio from scratch but the problem persists.
I have run a full (extended) bench test on all my hardware – no significant problems found.
MSWord docx. saved in html and converted back to MSword
New doc converted to PDF with minimum preferences
Converted doc copied to portfolio
No change
Portfolio opened in PDF reader
No Change
Acrobat 9.3 uninstalled and replaced with original Acrobat 9
No Change
PDF Printer driver checked – OK
Full virus scan run
The Portfolio updating from MSWord is a procedure which I have repeated many times in the past without any problem.
I cannot move forward, all attempts to solve the problem have failed.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

Viewing issues with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

We have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 installed, and we are having some issues when viewing pdf documents. Once a Word document is converted to a pdf document, some of the hyperlinks are appearing thicker (almost bold) than others, and some of the text appears lighter/darker than the rest of the text. There is no pattern to this, it is all very random.
When we print the pdf document, everything looks correct, so this only happening when we view the document on the computer.
Can anyone provide a suggestion on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot the attachment!
Hi Bill,
I am attaching screen shots of 1) a page where the hyperlinks appear thicker and 2) the document properties pages showing the fonts.
We have tried creating it with both the Adobe PDF Maker and the MS PDF tool and it happens using both. I am thinking that this really is a viewing issue, because it prints out fine. Also, it looks the same no matter what the zoom setting is.
Please let me know if you have any other advice.
Thank you!

Focus issue with pdf adodbe plugin display in html page

Hi,
I have an iframe in my ordinary html document which load a pdf file. When I load this iframe, focus is on the pdf-document and I can scroll it.
But I don't want the focus on the pdf-document but on my html page. When I scroll I want that my html page scrolls.
I think that the plug-in adobe takes the focus and I can't take it after pdf file loaded. I try to take focus with javascript but it doesn't work.
Is there anyway to put the focus on my html page ?
Thanks for you help.
Regards.
Marie

I have not tested this in IE 6, but just so you know, The
embed tag for a pdf will work for all browsers including IE7 except
Opera.
Ex. for a 800px x 100px header....
<embed src="example.pdf" width="800px"
height="110px"></embed>
In Acrobat 8 select file>properties (shortcut ctrl-d)
Select initial view, then check hide menu, hide toolbars, hide
window controls. For magnification select fit width.
The above example will still show a small background border
which I could not get rid of, but may still work for you.
