Link action to Bookmark in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Is it possible to have a Link (created with the link tool) refer to a named Bookmark within the the same document? There is no submenu item for that. Is there a Javascript I can put in the Link Actions dialog? Other solutions?
The problem I'm having is when I replace a page in a PDF file, all the existing links and bookmarks are preserved (including location and zoom level) EXCEPT that the layer visibility action is nonfunctioning (it's still listed in the Actions list though). There are lots of links, amny of which go to the same bookmarks, so I thought it would be great if all I had to do was reset the layer visibility for 100 bookmarks rather than the 500 links!
Thanks,
fss

I need a Link to a Bookmark because when I replace a page in a PDF in Pro 9, the links and bookmarks almost work, except that the Layer Visibility is lost, and setting the Layer Visibility for 100 bookmarks is a lot better than 500+!
The procedure I'm using is:
Create document in Illustrator CS4 Mac
Export as PDF w/editing capabilities and layers
Add Links and Bookmarks in Acrobat Pro 9 - document done for this cycle
Update original Illustrator file in Illustrator (errors, changes, adds, etc) and save as replacement PDF
In Acrobat, Replace page of current PDF with the replacement PDF
Result: links and Bookmarks retained, except for Layer Visibility.
If I could find a Javascrpt to go to to a Bookmark, to put in the Links Action box, that would be great. Or any other solution, like Adobe should add this feature.
Thanks

Linking text form fields in Acrobat Pro

I am using Acrobat Pro. I have successfully entered javascript that links multiple text fields so that when reaching the end of one field it automatically advances to the next. My problem is that if I am in the middle of a word it will split the word instead of carrying the entire word to the next line. How do I fix this?

I'm having a simliar problem except for some reason, if I am typing a word, the sentance will advance to the next field but will be missing a letter and looks like this:
This is an example of what Acrob
t is doing.
There is a letter that disappears and I can't seem to find how/where to fix it. I think it involves something with the java code but I'm not sure...

Can anyone give me an easy link to reload my Adobe Acrobat Pro? It won't accept any updates.

Linking multiple textboxes in a form Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi all,
I'm making an electronic form with Acrobat Pro 9.
The setup was made in Indesign CS3 after which the form boxes were detected by Acrobat Pro 9. There is a larger text area which consists of multiple lines of text (to be filled in by the user).
For this area there are 2 options:
1- Have multiple textboxes linked together so the text flows to the next box automatically when the current one is full.
or.
2- Have 1 multiline textbox with a larger linespacing.
The problem with 1 is, I can't seem to link multiple boxes together in Acrobat Pro 9. The problem with 2 is, I have no idea how to increase the linespacing.
Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish either 1 or 2?
Thanks in advance,
Bas

Linking the text boxes is not really possible, at least in a seamless manner. I've seen a few approaches using JavaScript, but none that are very well implemented. My usual suggestion is to redesign the form to get rid of the lines and just use a single multiline text box, perhaps with a faint border to indicate to the user where the field is.
If you need the lines because the form might be printed and filled by hand or some other means, then you can set up the field with a bit of JavaScript to set the background color to white if the user enters any text, and transparent otherwise. That way, when the document is printed, the lines won't appear if any text is entered, but will if not. You will not need to be concerned about the line spacing of the field matching up with the lines.

Acrobat Pro XI multiple levels of bookmarks

I am nesting my bookmarks in Acrobat Pro XI and need a fourth level. So far, I have only been able to nest to three levels. Does any one know if there is a limit to the levels in bookmarks, and, if so, how to get around it?
Thanks,
Mary

You can keep going beyond level 4 no problem. What's happening to prevent you from doing so?

Headings to Bookmarks - w Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro 9

So Adobe decided to rip us off by denying a fix for the Acrobat Pro Ribbon in MS Office 2010 We refuse to take part on their money making scheme and spend loads to upgrade to Acrobat X just for that (sorry Adobe, try not cheating your customers next time). So we are now unable to use the advanced conversion options once found within MS Office. Grrr again!
We are working with CS5 with Acrobat 9, all properly updated. With that:
- is there any hidden setting or trick that would allow converting Word headings into bookmarks automatically when converting Word documents? It doesn't matter where I start (from Word or from Acrobat) as long as the result is the same
- is there any third-party add-in/plug in that enables the functions we lost with the missing ribbon? Such as options to convert those headings to bookmarks, endnote/footnote links to link in the PDF and so on?
Thanks in advance!

You have three choices:
1. Add the bookmarks in the PDF by hand.
2. Go back to OFFICE 2007.
3. Upgrade to AA X.
Keep in mind that OFFICE 2010 came out after AA 9 that is 2 years old, the basic revision cycle for Acrobat. MS added some major changes that required Adobe to do a major rewrite on AA X to get PDF Maker to work. Call it a money making scheme if you like. One could also look at MS actions that cause problems for other products that work with OFFICE. In fact, one almost suspects that MS puts hooks in their software to mess up competing technology. This has never been proven and may be false, but it is an alternate scenario. In any case, the three choices mentioned are your only alternatives. My understanding is that Adobe has no plans to update AA9 to resolve this problem with OFFICE 2010. This has been a know problem since the release of OFFICE 2010 and it took Adobe some time to even fix AA X to meet the need.
If you are not willing to buy AA X, your best solution is to move your systems back to OFFICE 2007.

Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]
>>]
/HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
/Params [/c <<>>]
/Title [/t ()]

   /RmHiddenText [/b false]
   /RmLinksActionsJS [/b false]
   /RmMetadata [/b false]

/HandleOutput [/b true]
/NumbericNaming [/b false]
/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]
>>
As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]

Acrobat Pro Extended - how can I add links to 3D-objects?

Hi there,
I'm using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 and I would like to attach links to different filetypes to a 3D-object in a 3D-PDF. I tried to use the link-tool but it seems like that only works for 2D-PDF. Also in the 3D-Reviewer I haven't found a way yet to make it work.
Thanks
what eva

It's possible, but not in the simple tools-based way.
The "easiest" way is to add a Javascript to the 3D annotation which hooks the mouse event, scans the event.hits array and reacts based on the contents. If a mesh object is clicked the hits array will contain the mesh name in position 0 (then everything behind it in order). Your only issues arise when you want the "normal" clicking action to work as well (for selecting nodes, etc.), in which case you have to ensure your script passes the events about.
Many of the example files on the acrobatusers.com 3D gallery use that principle, and there are also some in the adobe.com section on 3D Javascript. The idea of a '3D linking tool' is a loooong way off - the way 3D is handled by Acrobat isn't set up to understand things at that level - the UI sees the 3D model as nothing but a black box that can be shouted at.

Creating Link out of Full Screen Preview in Acrobat Pro 8

Hi,
Maybe someone can help.
I have created a document in Acrobat Pro 8 that automatically opens in Full Screen Preview for the user. I want to create a button (link) on the title page which will allow the user to go back to normal view. In the links menu you can set to Open Full Screen preview but not get out of it... The only alternative that I have found is to include the copy on the title page "press esc to exit"
Is there any alternative to this????
Thanks in advance

Not sure why you mention 'preview'..
However, the 'fullscreen' menu item that you can set from a button is a 'toggle', so if you have a fullscreen button on a document that has fullscreen as the open option, clicking the button will take you to normal view.
It isn't essential to use a script: just use a button action for 'execute a menu item' > Window Fullscreen.

Bookmark issues In Acrobat Pro!

Hi everyone,
Over the past month we have been having issues where a customer of our's when she is creating PDF files from Word, she isn't able to add bookmarks to certain paragraphs or link any of the document to Acrobat Pro X after the document is created from Word at all. She selects various bookmark styles that she wants to have in our output file of her PDF file to select certain things, but sometimes it will pick up bookmarks and work for some of the document, other times it just wont wont work at all and just selects its on ones, without even telling it to do so. i.e like Test No, Heading 1, Heading 2 or Paragraph three. She will have problems where Heading 1 wont won't appear in capitals from when it was showing as lower case letters in Word. Parts of the document, she wants it to not show certain paragrahs, it still chooses and back to what i was saying before it will just choose to bookmark all of the paragraph and a lot of the time it adds funny letters and numbers to a lot of the document aswell.
It really has been driving us crazy!!!, we have tried numerous things, tried installing the software and then re-updating the program with the 1.4.1 update as it is Acrobat 10.0 she is using. We have even had tried selecting different Bookmarks on a fresh template from word and it still behaves in the same way. We have tried Resetting her profile and have now even came to the point of complete rebuild, re-installing Windows 7,Office and Acrobat Pro and every other software on her account. If someone could give some advice or be able to offer a complete fix for this, it would really help put a end to this problem that has gone further than past the funny stage.

Well I haven't found a fix, but I'm reasonably sure this issue has arisen because I combined pdf documents from two different sources - 1. Open office calc on windows 7 and 2. Pages on Mac OS X lion. Not sure why, but that is the only difference. Will post this as a separate issue, as in-document links are also effected by this distinction. So not all pdf documents are created equally... After spending an hour solving the green "signature detected where none exist" bar this morning, this latest fiasco has not left me too impressed with adobe. But that's tech folks...

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.
