Keeping Bookmarks when using PDF Optimizer

Is there a way to keep bookmarks when using PDF Optimizer? Or a way to easily transfer my links and bookmarks to the new document?

Got it. I had "Discard invalid bookmarks" checked. Since the "Discard bookmarks" in the other menu was not selected I figured I would be fine. Oh well, it's working now.

  • The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

    The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
    The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.
    gghhjhhbhbhhbhbjbhj....1
    bv v vghvjvjnnnnnnnnn....2
    When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.
    Your help is appreciated.

  • Save as pdf deleted bookmarks when combining pdf-files

    Hello,
    when I save several books each to a pdf-file with save as pdf (or printing to .ps and converting afterwards), the bookmarks are deleted when I combine the pdf-files with Acrobat. Only one bookmark for the 1st. file exists in the new pdf-file.
    The reference of the bookmarks in the original generated file is e.g. "g3.619626".
    These references are not anymore available in the combined files.
    I've tried several settings before saving as pdf but nothing helped.
    Ther are no problems of combining ordinary pdf-files with bookmarks if they are generated by other programs then Framemaker.
    I need to combine files as well within a book, as "save to pdf" is not able, to generate one file with different pages sizes. I then need to generate a separate pdf-file of the pages with the for e.g. bigger page size and combine it afterwards.
    In that project I'm working there will over all something between 1000 and 1500 pages from maybe 10 books with hunderts of bookmarks plus additionally separete pfd files to combine. So it's not an option to treat every bookmark before combining the pdf-files.
    My system is FM11.02.384 / Acrobat Pro 11.0.3 / Windows 7 64 Bit

    Never having had a need to do it, and Adobe documentation for Acrobat being what it is, I can't tell if AcroPro is supposed to be able to merge bookmarks when merging PDFs. It would be an unsurprising feature, and you do say it works on PDFs generated by means other than FM.
    Here's a hack that might work, if the variable-page-size rendering turns out to be out of reach. You can batch* this.
    Open each component PDF and re-save it with some otherwise harmless optimization (or even none). This will probably cause AcroPro to re-write the internal structures of each PDF, which might then be amenable to merged bookmarks when you re-open them for merging.
    * We do a similar thing for a slightly different problem. We have a software-in-a-box XML publishing app that, at just some seats, is generating PDFs that are tagged for byte serving (fast web view), but are not in fact encoded for it. This causes AcroReader plugin and entire browser crashes for web end users. The s/w vendor can't even tell us where the option is for controlling that feature, because they get the PDF gen code from some other 3rd party. So we routinely batch process all generated PDFs, with, oddly enough, NO "commands" selected. The re-save alone fixes it.

  • My iPad 2 keeps crashing when using iPhoto.

    My iPad 2 keeps crashing when using iPhoto. Have cleared my 'open' apps, reset and restored the iPad, reinstalled iPhoto. But same result when editing pictures imported from SD card. Seems like iPhoto is built for the quad core GPU of the new iPad? Pretty a waste of my $5 until I get it to stop crashing. I'm on OS5.1. Thanks!

    It works on the ipad 2.  I heard of an issue where if you have too many photos in your library may cause app
    to crash.  Try to uncheck but a few of your albums in your library in itunes.  Sync.  See what happens.

  • Stack File for JSPM when using Maintenance Optimizer

    Hello,
    As you know JSPM looks for a stack file when applying a support pack stack.  When using maintanance optimizer I see no way to get a stack file.  I end up having to do the work twice:  once to get the files in maintenance optimizer, and again I have to go to marketplace swdc to choose the files and create the list of downloads again only to save a stack file.
    Am I missing something?  Is this double work really necessary?

    Hello John,
    It seems that you are doing double work.
    If you use the download type as "SLM" then you have a chance to transfer the XML to SLM. Else if you choose the download type as "Download Manager" then the XML should be created in the EPS/in folder of the Solution Manager system.
    You also need to check whether you have applied all the applicable notes for the Solution Manager stack from the note 1122966 and that the BC sets for MOPZ are activated correctly.
    Finally check the permissions on the EPS/in folder of Solution Manager to check whether there is a issue with authorizations.
    A SLG1 log ( filtered by the username who creates the MOPZ transaction and time at which the transaction was created ) will reveal the errors in the process.
    Regards

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

  • Imac keeps freezing when using safari

    my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
    The beachball appears and I have to wait.
    My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
    Rebooted various times.
    Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
    Anyone any tips on what to do next??
    It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
    Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

    I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
    I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
    I shut it down and re started it as normal.  Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
    the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
    On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
    All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
    I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in

  • Unwanted bookmarks when combining PDFs

    I've been trying to PDF a 344 page FrameMaker book (several documents) but I keep getting a memory error (I doubt it's my machine cause it happens on others). So I PDFd the individual documents in the book then combined them in Acrobat. That works fine except that a top level bookmark is added for each PDF filename. Looks something like this:
    Report_Guide_1.pdf
    Printing
    Previewing
    Report_Guide_2.pdf
    Quick Report
    SuperReport
    Financial Report Writer
    Report_Guide_2.pdf
    Order Entry
    Invoice - Laser Graphics
    Invoice - Grey Bars
    Order Entry Reports
    And so on...
    I cannot figure out how to get rid of these bookmarks (e.g., Report_Guide_2.pdf) and just have the bookmarks that were established in the individual PDF files. I've gone through the Acrobat Help but I don't find any obvious reference to a setting that controls this. Does anyone know how to prevent the generation of these unnecessary bookmarks during combining (Insert pages)?
    I have also used the Create PDF/From Multiple Files method and it also generates the unnecessary bookmarks.
    I'm using Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional on Windows XP Pro.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when using a brush.

    Hey all,
    For the life of me, my team and I cannot figure out why this keeps happening.
    1) Open Photoshop
    2) Do everything/anything I would normally do while creating some art.
    3) Create a new layer with no background to brush on.
    4) Choose a brush and append it to the drop down.
    5) Select the size of the brush and color
    6) Start to brush
    7) CRASH EVERY TIME
    I have done this multiple times and restarted multiple times. I even have tried using a different file, a new file, different brushes, etc. The same thing always happens. However, I will say that when using some of the other brushes I can get about one stroke and when I go to make another, it crashes. It seems that the bush will crash instantly however, if I use any of the special effect brushes. Mind you I have NO third party or custom brushes. Everything that I have in Photoshop is default.
    The only thing that I can think that might be the issue is that my CS5 production suite is a upgraded suite from the CS4 web design suite. Upon installing the CS5, the instructions said that there should be an "upgrade" option/window in which I should put my product ID. That never came up, just the standard install/product ID window. Thus, CS4 and CS5 (both full) are on my Mac. Could this be the issue?
    Any suggestions? Anyone else have this issue?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I installed the 12.0.1 update. This was happening prior to and after the install.
    I am pretty sure im 64 bit
    CMYK color with 8bits, should that be on 16?
    No I have no 3rd party plugins.

  • Internet explorer keeps closing when using SOD

    Hi, we are using IE6 SP2 on Windows XP Professional. We are experiencing IE closing when using SOD on some machines. The other machines using SOD on the same IE and OS versions are working perfectly fine. We even experienced the situation where we bought 3 new notebooks with the same build; IE on 1 notebook keeps closing whereas the other 2 are fine. We tried upgrading JRE version and even that didn't work. The IE problem happens on all SOD pods and not limited to 1.
    If anyone has experienced this before and found a resolution, pls share it with me as it's long overdue and users refuse to signoff on UAT.
    Thanks in advance..

    I believe the problem is with the notebook not withthe SCOD. Why shoudn't you try out reinstalling your IE on notebook or try run some antivirus as it may be happening because of some virus. I also faced same issue and got resolved by reinstalling IE. I was using IE 7

  • IPad keeps freezing when using iplayer

    I have just updated my iPad to 4.2 and since then when using iplayer the screen freezes after about 3-5 minutes. I have cleared both cookies and cache from the settings menu and this has made no difference!? Very frustrating when you've jst started to settle into a programme, advise please

    If you are using safari to watch iPlayer, enable debug console in the safari settings and check to see if there are any errors, iPlayer uses quicktime for the video, there may be an issue with that. I checked and found no errors when using iPlayer in safari. Try restarting your device. Also, if it is available in your country, there is an iPlayer app,

  • Safari keeps freezing when using yahoo mail.

    Safari keeps freezing while using Yahoo mail. Have to close out or reset safari to regain access. Anyone else ever have this problem?

    Why not use Mac Mail instead of Yahoo's web based mail and having to access it via Safari and deal with incompatibility issues?
    Open Mac Mail.
    From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click +  (plus) under  the Accounts  panel on the left.
    Type in your name, Yahoo email address and Yahoo password then click Create.
    It's that easy.
    To view incoming mail or start a new mail message just click the Mail icon in your Dock. If the Mail icon isn't in the Dock, go to your Applications folder, launch Mail. Then click and hold the Mail icon in the Dock, click Option / Keep In Dock.

  • Flash player keeps crashing when using firefox ok using internet explorer

    Flash player stops working when using various sites particularily ebay. It shows action script errors but not always the same one, If you dismiss and continue it usually starts working again but not always. Sometimes you have to restart firefox. I have latest firefox and flashplayer in fact problems seemed to start with latest versions. I have tried internet explorer and flashplayer is fine on all sites. I would like to carry on using firefox but will have to stop if problems persist. I am not a computer whiz kid so would not want to go through tests etc, i would prefer if Mozilla could sort this out.

    The flash program for Firefox is a different version then IE.
    First, lets update your Flash Player '''Version 16.0.0.305<br>https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html'''
    If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
    * see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
    '''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
    * disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
