Is there a way to flatten pages in Acrobat XI

Is there a way to Flatten pages in Acrobat Standard XI. In Standard 9 I used a script called flatten.js and it worked fine. I read it will not work with XI. Any alternatives?

Gilad,
Thanks for the reply, but I still can't seem to get this to work. Let me expand on what I was doing previously and maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong now. Previously in Adobe Pro X when we had documents that we needed to sent to a client, we ran the Flatten Form Fields and Comments action script. This worked wonderfully until we upgraded to XI, now it appears to be broken as we can still edit the text using the "Content Editing" option from Tools even though it was suppose to be Flattened.
I have tried many other options: Flatten Comments and Annontations action script, another JS script that I found for Flattening (but it was old from 2008), and also tried doing the Javascript Debugger method and using the this.flattenPages(); command which returneds undefined when I press Ctrl + Enter. All of these the result in that I can continue to edit the text after the script/command is ran.
Am I missing something on how to lock down the PDFs now in XI or maybe I have a setting wrong that is blocking Javascript? I am hoping I am just making a mistake somewhere and the origional functionality we used in X is not gone.
Thank you for your time regarding this matter.

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.

Besides a PDF Portfolio is there another way to add Pages to a PDF that have fields of the same name and still have them Unique?

Besides the PDF portfolio is there another way to add pages to a PDF file that have the same name in form fields and still keep the different pages unique

■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
<br> note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

Is there a way to do this in Acrobat?

I'm hoping this is the right place for this query.
We've been asked by a client to provide a pdf document which will comprise two A4 sheets side by side as a double-page spread, therefore making the pdf page an A3. What they want to be able to do from this is to click print and automatically get those two sheets in the pdf to print out onto two A4 sheets as opposed to one A3. They don't want to have to fiddle about with printer settings etc to get this. Is there a way of doing this through Acrobat as we haven't been able to work it out?

Just create a single page PDF, then in Acrobat choose View > Page Display > Two-up.
It will then display 2 pages, but print each page independently.

Loading time... Is there a way to "Flatten" or "Merge Visable"

Hi,
I'm almost done with my web page, and I have heard back that it takes a long time to load. I am wondering if there is a way to "Flatten Image" or "Merge Visable" kinda like you do in Photoshop. I think this is why it takes so long to load?
Here it is.. Please leave feedback!

Thanks!

take a screen shot of your visited page and recreate the page as one image.
you can write the page yourself without iWeb and it will load much faster with cleaner code. Take a look HERE at your page as one optimized screenshot and only relevant code.

Is there a way to have pages on the iPad automatically update changes to dropbox?

So I got pages, numbers, and keynote for the iPad and I keep all my documents backed up to Dropbox so I was really excited to see that you could save anything created in pages to Dropbox.
However when I go back and change the document it doesnt update in Dropbox. Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks

Is there a way to open pages documents on Windows?

My ibook G4 died recently out of warranty, and I'm now without a way to open all my documents, which I created and saved in the pages format.
Is there a way to open these documents on a Windows XP machine, as that is the only machine I currently have available?

There are certain data you can save copying a Pages document to Windows, but not much. If you copy a Pages document to a Windows machine, you will see that it is in fact a folder. In that folder you will find pictures you have included in the document. You will also find a file called index.xml.gz. You can expand that one on windows - probably with Winzip - and open the xml file in your favourite browser, and then you will see the text you added among quite a lot of garbled text. Formating will be gone.
To some of us Pages' Mac-centric format is very inconvenient, but many users are quite happy with it, as they rarerly need the documents on a Windows machine. And when it happens they see no problem first exporting it to .doc, .pdf or .rtf format.

Is there a way to download PAGES 4 for MAC OS? Pages 5 is missing too many features I need!

Is there any way to get the prior version of Pages (4x) for MAC? So many critical features are missing now I cannot use Pages any longer unless I can get the old version?

With Mavericks the answer is maybe. It really depends on whether they ship a disc with Pages 4.0 or Pages 4.3. It is hard to figure out which one is the one that you will actually receive. If you have a virtual machine and purchased these from the Mac App store then if you run Mountain Lion you should be able to download them again on that system. This is the method I used to re-install.
I'm lucky in that I have the retail version of iWork 09. I re-installed it using the following method.
1. Reinstall from DVD. This installed a version that is too out of date to run on Mavericks so I had to do step 2.
2. Ran a virtual machine with Mountain Lion, installed iWork 09, ran software update and copied the latest versions over to my main machine. This works and now I have iWork 09 back on my machine. Hopefully Apple can fix this latest iWork and bring it back to feature parity with iWork 09.

Is there a way to save Pages documents so they can be opened with MS Word?

Hi,
I have been a PC user my whole life, but just recently purchased a Mac. I bought an iMac and absolutely love it! I'm still trying to figure everything out though. I just purchased iWork 09, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the trial version right now. I'm currently unemployed so I spend a lot of my time looking for jobs on the internet, and sending out resumes. Every place that accepts online resumes wants them to be in MS Word format. After I bought iWork 09 I was wondering if I had made a mistake and should have bought MS Office for Mac instead? Is there a way to save it as a Word document or format it as something that Word accepts? Also, can you do the same for Numbers-Excel, and Keynote-Powerpoint? Any information you can give me would be a big help.
Thanks

Hi Tom
In iWork '09 you may use
File > Save as > Save a copy as > Word document

Rollover Link that displays a message, is there a way to do that in Acrobat?

Hello,
Is there a way to create rollover links that display a pop message in the PDF itself? I do not want a separate browser window to pop up, or a link to another PDF page, I just want a bubble, box, or an image to pop up when you rollover a word in the PDF itself.
Thanks,
MG

Is there a way to flatten an image in Indesign?

Like you do in photoshop?

Thanks but my question was poorly put.
Here's the story. I have 82 pictures with captions.
A vendor (bookbaby) is preparing an epub from my pdf file exported from indesign.
Trouble is, their process doesn't keep captions and photos together.
I've now outlined the text in the caption so it's no longer editable as text -- and the numbers overlaid on the collage attached (in indesign), and I've surrounded the. picture with an outline, but the captions, outline, and photo are still all separate.
If I export the indesign photo page as a pdf, open it in photoshop, and flatten it in photoshop and bring it back into indesign, it's all one picture
I have 82 photos with captions. Surely there's an easier way?

How do I change the way the title/author appear and is there any way to remove pages on EPUBs?

Hi all--
I am having a really hard time--I am trying to transfer EPUBs from my Win 7 comp to my Nook Tablet. I bought a lot of books from several non-BN sites because they were lots cheaper and were also sold in bundles--but the site was messed up and sent the books in PDF form rather than EPUB. PDF files won't read like a regular book on my Nook Tablet, so my friend offered to convert them to EPUB for me.
Most of the books turned out fine, but some of them now have a few extra pages at the beginning before the cover image and the correct title and author are not displaying--it seems to instead show the filepath where the file was saved on m friend's computer (C:\My Computer/Documents and Settings...etc.)
So, what I would like to do is be able to edit the EPUB files so I can delete the extra pages at the beginning so the correct cover image will be displayed and to be able to change the file's data sp it will show (and be searchable by) the correct title and author.
I am new to all this, so I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you SO much for your help!!
--Jamie
P.S. Having the title and author show up correctly so they are searchable and appear in the correct place on my Nook Tablet is the top priority--correct cover pages would be nice aesthitically, but it is not that important.
****ALSO--does anyone know of an app or anything for the Nook Tablet that would allow PDF files to be read just like an EPUB/B&N=purchased book? Currently when I open a PDF, it shows the page in TINY print--you can use pinching to zoom in, but then the file enlarges so it is bigger than the screen, making it very hard to read. I can't figure out any way to enlarge the text but still fits the page like an EPUB does, so I'm wondering if there's an app that would do that--it's hard because you can't try apps before you buy them and I can't teel if they will work from the descriptions.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

Is there a way to place page numbers in different places within a document in Pages?

I have a document with multiple chapters and I need to place the page number in a different place at the beginning of each chapter than the rest of the document. For example, on the first page of each chapter, the page number must be at the center in the footer while on every other page, the page number needs to be in the right of the header. I know that there is a way to do this in Microsoft Word but I'm not sure how to do it in Pages. Anyone have any ideas? I would prefer not to have to download Word.
Thank you.

Hi Brian,
If you go with Peter's suggestion, there are some details that since I've got a minute here, I'll mention...
Set your Line Spacing for the document text to "Exactly" before you begin adjusting your table, otherwise you will have registration problems.
Your Table will have to be a Floating object. Otherwise you won't be able to slide it into the margin. And, speaking of the margin, stay out of the gray area with the numbers if you want to print them. The gray border around your document is the area that the printer driver says is non-printable.
In the Table Inspector, set Columns to 1 and Rows to 20 or whatever you prefer for your document. Set the number of Header Rows to 0.
To apply the numbering, use the Fill feature: Type 1 in the first cell, type 2 in the second cell. Select both cells. Grab the Fill Handle in the lower right corner of the selection and drag it down to add a series of numbers to the rest of the column. (Easier than typing.)
Decide how you want to justify the numbering. The Text Inspector has both vertical and horizontal justification controls for this. Just select the entire table and make the settings.
Set the cell height to match the text line spacing. You can get close with the table row height, and maybe closer with a minor line spacing adjustment. Don't expect perfection, but you can get pretty close.
You probably don't want the cell borders to show, so with the entire table selected, go to the Graphic Inspector and set Stroke to None.
Lastly, cause the table to appear on every page by doing: Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
Regards,
Jerry

Is there any way to do pages within pages?

This is the best way I can describe what I'm trying to do. I am creating an 8.5"x11 manual. Each page is broken into 4 separate squares (cards? tiles?), each with content about a particular product my company sells. The manual is in alpahabetical order, so when I have to insert a new product, I end up having to move around every tile that comes after it. I was wondering if there was any way to set up those tiles to behave like pages in InDesign, where I could just create a new one, and all of the others would automatically make room, by moving down the page and onto the next.
I have done them with a Data Merge before, but that seems needlessly difficult. I should also mention that I have other content on the page instead of just the cards, so I can't just have the pages be the size of the tiles and print 4 to a 8.5" x 11" page.

The short answer is no. What you can do is create a flow using linked text boxes and then insert elements into this.
