Is it possible to create popups in a PDF file ?

I need to know if and how I could create pop-ups in a PDF file.
The idea is to be able to offer the data behind a chart as text, which then could be copied & pasted into programms like Excel.
With regards,
Jacques

I'm not sure if it would achieve your goal but there are two possible suggestions I have.
The first is that you could put the data in an appendix and then just use normal navigation tools to get to it. This allows the reader to see it if they want but it doesnt get in their way otherwise.
The second is to host the data somewhere and incorporate a link to the webpage into your pdf-that would be a real popup.

  • Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

    I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
    Thanks

    Dave,
    Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
    be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
    to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
    document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
    when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X

    You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
    COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
    compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
    Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
    click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
    options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
    want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
    Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

    There is a commercial tool called plpdf, but i can't tell if its good..
    Also possible would be to create an XML-FO with sql or pl/sql.
    And then use Apache-FOP to convert the XML-FO into a pdf, rtf or whatever you want.
    No extra costs but the effort to learn a bit about the fo elements/syntax.
    I think the newer Apex-Versions can doing something like this also. Maybe additionally ask in the Apex Forums.

  • Computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file

    My computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file.

    In that case, you need to update the Acrobat Version at your end. Click on Help -> Check for Updates. Download and install the updates. Make sure your version is 9.5.1

  • This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

    I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
    Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
    The log file contains following text:
    This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
    Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
    I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
    2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
    this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
    3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
    pdf.
    4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
    programatically use Distiller Api's for conversion of postscript (in case
    of postscript created from secure pdf) to pdf
    Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am facing a similar problem.
    My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
    Any suggestions?

  • Create and edit a PDF file

    Hi,
    Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
    Thanks for any info.

    Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
    For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

  • Is it possible to create a footer showing the file name in a PDF doc?

    Hi, I am hoping to find a way to either create a footer that will show the name of the pdf file I am creating or otherwise emboss it onto the PDF so I know what I am looking at when I print.  I have a large number of documents and it will be difficult to keep track otherwise.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time/help.

  • Can I create a low resolution pdf file?

    I have a 12 page document with a number of pictures which I wish to save as a PDF and upload to a website. In Pages when I export it as a PDF I get a choice of 'Good', 'Better' or 'Best' for image quality. Choosing 'Good' the resulting file is 8MB, rather too large for my liking. However when choosing 'Best' the resulting file size is still 8MB. So my questions are:
    1. What's the difference between these settings?
    2. Is it possible to create a PDF which reduces the image quality to screen resolution to make a smaller file?
    I'd be grateful for any help.

    Before you save to .pdf save your Pages document.
    +Menu > File Reduce File Size+
    This will trim all your images to their cropped size and lower their resolution to 72dpi.
    Create your .pdf using whichever of the settings you like.
    Open the .pdf in Preview .app and go
    +Menu > File > Save As… > Format: PDF > Quartz Filter: Reduce File Size+
    If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro
    +Menu > Document > Reduce File Size+
    or
    +Menu > Advanced > PDF Optimizer… > set the resolution and options to your liking+

  • Does Keynote allow you to create clickable links in pdf files yet?

    I searched the forum and found a similar question that was asked back in 2005, and with newer versions of Keynote now available I hope I'm not posting a duplicate question here.
    I would like to be able to use iWork's Keynote to make small, business-type cards for downloads as .pdf files and I'd like to include a clickable website url or email link, if possible.
    How about doing this in Pages? I haven't used pages yet but I presume you can save the files as pdf's?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    An afterthough - if I need Acrobat to do this is there a large learning curve involved?
    I see many 'Viral eBooks' and brochures being created for and by PC users, and when I download them the links are clickable on the Mac. You see lots of programs for PC's being advertised that are supposed enable you to to this, but none for the Mac. I'm hesitant to invest in Acrobat as I only want to do one or two business card type pdfs with clickable links.

    Hi Annie,
    I ran a quick test and Keynote exported a slide with both a clickable link to an email address and a website. After printing to PDF (command-P/Save as PDF), there were no clickable links.
    As far as I know, you need at least Mac OS X 10.4.4 for this to work, and of course Keynote 3.

  • How to create ICon/Cursor from pdf files

         I was able to create ICon from jpg file without problem but I couldn't create ICon from pdf files.
    Here my code:
    var myDoc = app.newDoc();
    myDoc.importIcon("myIcon"); // it worked when I chose a jpeg image, but it didn't
    //when chose a pdf file.
    icon = myDoc.getIcon("myIcon");
    oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(icon);  
    myDoc.closeDoc(true);
    app.addToolButton({
                   cName: "myButtoon",
                   oIcon: oIcon,
                   cExec: "app.alert('Someone pressed me!')",
                   cTooltext: "Push Me!",
                   cEnable: true,     
                   nPos: 4
       //app.removeToolButton("myButtoon");
    My goal is to create buttons which have icons from a pdf file (stamp) and when user click on these buttons, the cursors become the icon . And then, when user click on the document, the iCon will be showed in the document. The point is: is there anyway to create icons/cursors/stamps from one pdf file. Because the stamp is changeable, when user changes the color/shape of the pdf file, the icons/cursors/stamps will automatically change
    What kind of pdf format do I have to use?
    I used the sample "SignHere.pdf" in stamps folder of Acrobat but it didn't work.
    Thanks.

    The SDK has all the information - but certainly there are only samples for those common actions that users have been doing for years.  Most developers don't recreate stuff already present in the application - such as the Stamp plugin - so we don't have samples of such things.
    But all the pieces you need are present in the SDK - it's just necessary obvious.  You will need to learn about the details of how the plugin APIs work to create the toolbars and toolbuttons, and then how to handle cursors.  You will then need to learn about PDF details in order to be able to take an existing PDF, potentially modify it (eg. Change the color(s)) and then place it onto another PDF.  
    The methods you listed are from JavaScript - there are alternative methods for plugins, such as the AVConversion APIs.

  • Create and save a .pdf file

    Afternoon!  I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great.  It opens and displays well.  My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it?  My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

    <cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
    it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
    so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

  • Is it possible to overwirte data in a *.pdf file using LabVIEW??

    Modifying an existing PDF file is several magnitues more complicated than creating one from scratch. The PDF standard is VERY complicated and contains a myriad of features with their specific syntax elements. In order to modify an existing PDF you have to be able to understand every syntax element that occures in the PDF, or you may end up corrupting the file.
    When you create a new PDF you can pick out the syntax elements that your tool supports and forget about the 95 other procent.
    There are many PDF Toolkits than can create PDF files, a few that can open PDF files and present them, and almost none that can edit them. The Adobe PDF Editor being one of the few that can do that, but nobody is going to give away such a Toolkit for free.

  • Creating fields in a PDF file..

    I downloaded an application from a web site in PDF file form, how do I create fields in the form so I can fill it out?
    Thanks

    Hi DenisonDoc,
    There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
    Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
    - End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.
