Link Rectangles rotated on edited pdf

Historically there was often a problem editing landscape pdf's created in one version of Acrobat and being updated in a later version: existing link rectangles would be rotated by 90° when the new page (with or without new links) was inserted as a replacement. Adobe's helpful 'solution' was to manually rotate all the links manually (there could be hundreds on an index page!). Fortunately this problem didn't happen when moving from v8 through 10.
BUT.
My Office application was recently revised from 2003 to 2010 and I now find the same problem has recurred. If I ask a colleague with the same version of Acrobat (10.1.6) but Word 2003 to convert the file, the issue doesn't arise, and we both use 'Standard' conversion settings.
If I just use the 'Print to pdf' instead of Convert, the problem doesn't arise: which is fine if I don't need the 'extras' in a Conversion.
Any ideas (apart from pulling more hair out)?

Hi Bill; Thanks for the offer, but I'd really like to see Adobe step in as well, as they will have the applications and files to enable replication!
To repeat the sequence I believe you would need to be operating in the same environment:-
Windows 7 32 bit, MS Office 2010 (v14), Acrobat Pro (mine currently at 10.1.8)
Create a document in Word 2010 with the page orientation landscape.
Create a pdf using the Create pdf icon on the Acrobat tab (i.e. pdf maker)
Open a similar landscape pdf created from a Word 2003 document and containing links or buttons.
Perform a 'Replace Page' action to replace the original page with the new pdf, leaving the links and buttons intact.
The buttons and links are rotated 90° and in the wrong position.
If the new pdf is created by printing to pdf, the above does not occur.

Link to editable PDF in iBook author

I'm working on an iBook textbook and would like link to some editable pdfs found at http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/worksheets/
I know how to insert the hyperlink to the worksheets within iBook Author, but I'm wondering if there is any way to make them editable on an iPad?
Is there an iBook widget that could accomplish this or could students open the pdf pages in another iPad app (or browser) and be able to edit them?
Thanks ~ Peter

Looking for something that could be the digital replacement for a hard copy graphic organizer.
As you seem to be creating a tool for running a classroom, you should be looking at making your own app. In the end, you'll want more and more features, so you might as well go that direction now.
For general app suggestions, you may want to try the Using iPad forums.
Good luck in any case.

Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro. But in editable PDF combobox search is not working properly.
It's only search first character.

My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

Thanks for the email, Stacy!
I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I'd like to assist!
Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
Are these files scanned to PDF files?
You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
Let me know if that works.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

Creating "Editable" PDF documents??

I was wondering if anyone knows of any great Mac software to create editable PDFs. I'm looking for good commercial software, although freeware is OK, but prefer tried and true software. Basically, I have some documents I want to add some fields to, and let my customer fill it in, then print it out. Any help will be appreciated.
Bryan

Actually Acrobat is not the application for creating .pdf files.
You do that almost anywhere else, such as InDesign, Quark Xpress, Illustrator or any Cocoa app in OSX such as Pages, Keynote, TextEdit, iText Express etc.
After you have created your pdf, then you use Acrobat to edit it, ensure links are working, manipulate fields etc.
It maybe extremely clumsy, bloated, unintuitive and a general mess but it is virtually the only game in town.
There is no such thing as an uneditable pdf file, you just need the tools to get at the postscript.
You may find Illustrator a useful adjunct to fixing the visual aspects of a pdf file as it will open pdfs in an editable form for the graphics, not links or form fields. Be aware that a final distilled pdf file can be messy and requires some knowledge of how postscript works to unpick and reconstruct.

Problems with editable PDFs

I have created an editable PDF that I want to send clients, have them fill information in, then save and email back to me.
This works on my machine but when I send it out, people cannot save it. They can only save a blank version.
I have extended the features already. Could the problem be something to do with versions? Do they need to download a newer version of Reader?
Any help much appreciated! Thanks

By extended reader rights do you mean Save As > Reader Exteded PDF > Enable Additional Features YES I did this Here is a link to some PDFs with this problem http://www.wkrause.com/new/

...InDesign then Editable PDF...

Hi guys,
Any idea of how to make a registry form in InDesign that i could later make and editable PDF or Word document?
This is a sample of what i would like to do...
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ms6j5vmUwgyUuD6y1HMxVr6NgutT1
The idea is to export it later into PDF and the secretary could fill the lines into PDF...is it too complicated?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Sebastiao

yes a new IT guy would be good. Nice guy and make great coffee but his mind is somewhere out there.
Anyhow he finally installed the Acrobat Professional. I manage to make some fields editable, with forms at work, Acrobat Pro 8. Now i opened the PDF file at home with Acrobat Professional 7 and cannot see any of this forms filed.
I am sure that topic was discussed before and the search field does not send good results. Could you send me the link on the thread on how to make an "interactive" pdf with Acrobat Professional? Is important that the PDF is interactive so other users could open with the regular Acrobat Reader and fill the data.
Thanks again and best,
Sebastiao

Preview on Mavericks - Rectangle Tool Background on PDF broken?

While in preview I try to create a rectangle with a transparent background, but the transparancy doesn't seem to have any effect.
This seems to only be an issue when I edit PDF's. It works fine in PNG.
Above 50% it's always a solid color.
Below 50% it disappears.
Anyone know why this is happening or is this a bug in preview?

It seems to do the same thing on mine and I am running OS X Mavericks. I haven't tried in an earlier version though so I don't know whether it's specific to OS X Mavericks or not.

Is Adobe Reader Touch (using windows 8) supposed to be able to edit pdfs, or just view them? Please help!

Hi Community,
I cannot edit pdfs using Adobe Reader Touch. Going out of my mind. My Windows 8 laptop can barely save them, never mind edit them.
Or is Adobe Reader Touch only able to read them? Is it a cheaper version installed in the laptop to keep the laptop prices down?
If it can edit pdfs please tell me how!!
Thanks for any advice.

Hello gregorhughes,
Thanks for using Adobe Reader Touch.
Adobe Reader Touch App is a PDF viewer app with editing functionality restricted to saving the PDF after commenting or PDF forms filling.
Commenting includes:
    > Adding Sticky Note
    > Highlighting text
    > Strikethrough text
    > Underline text
For more PDF editing and lot more value added features for PDF related workflows, you can try Acrobat desktop version. Try at this link for Acrobat Pro XI or Acrobat Standard
Thanks,

Edited pdf saving on server machine

Hi,
      I am displaying pdf file on client machine from server using byte array object in visual studio 2005 ,after editing the pdf content using live cycle, i want to save a copy of the edited pdf on server, is any idea for saving it in server,Please provide a solution or give a sample code , i am waiting for ur reply.

Hello,
I would guess that all the pdf files you are generating in AS in c:\temp directory. Otherwise if files are in c:\temp\data then you will have to change in the webutil.cfg file. So, according to your webutil.cfg file the function call can be like this..
lResult := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT_WITH_PROGRESS
               ('C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'TITLE',
                'PLEASE WAIT...');Or otherwise if the files are in C:\TEMP\DATA then change the config setting to the below and try the function as below...
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.read.1=c:\temp\data
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp\dataAnd function like this...
lResult := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT_WITH_PROGRESS
               ('C:\TEMP\data'ABC.TXT',
                'C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'TITLE',
                'PLEASE WAIT...');Make sure that file is readable on the AS and the directory C:\TEMP is available on the client side.
Using example you can find in webutil demo. Check the below link.

you should deactivate (help>deactivate) that installation on the old workstation. then download and install on your new work station using your serial number. (ie, make sure you can find your serial number - if you need help with this, let us know.)

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

How to create multiple editable PDFs from data merged Indesign file

Hi
This is quite complicated but I'm hoping someone can help me and hoping I can explain it too!
I am working on a project for a client. She wants to send 150 people a 6 page PDF with fields to complete and return to her.
She has an Excel spreadsheet with some of the fields completed already so these will be Data Merged into InDesign CS6.
The short version of the question goes like this:
Can you automate the process so that once all the data is in the InDesign file, it can then create a PDF every 6 pages all in one go?
For those still interested, the long version of the question goes like this:
I have created 3 pages in InDesign with fields to complete and used the 'Data Merge' facility to add the Excel info.
I have created 3 more pages with blank fields to fill in.
Then I have made all fields editable using the 'Buttons and Forms' facility in the Interactive menu.
Then I have created an interactive PDF. Then I have opened that PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and saved it as 'Reader Extended PDF' and 'Enable Additional Features'
I now have an Editable PDF with half the fields filled in and half blank to be filled in and this can be saved and returned.
Now, this would be great if it was only one or two. But I need to create 150 different versions and this is just for the Pilot study. If all goes well, this will go to 5,000 people and I can't be creating 5,000 seperate PDFS!!
At this stage, I am just focussing on the 150. So again, going back to the original question, is there a script that could be written either to break up the 1st PDF every 6 pages into 150 different PDFS? Is there even a way of extending that script to Save as Reader Extended etc? Is there a simple idea that I'm missing? Are there any ways to do this? I can use 'Created Merged Documents' to make 150 x 6 pages in Indesign so can anything be done from there?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks

How to get anonymous guest link "View Only" and "Edit" URL using JSOM or Search API ?

Hi,
I need to get list item anonymous guest link View Only and
Edit URLs (as shown in image below) using JSOM or SharePoint 2013
Search API.
the URL will be like this - https://<site URL>/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=yRaYGmE9n
Any one has any idea how to do achieve this?
Thanks
Shakir

Hi Shakir,
To get the anonymous guest link “View Only”, we can use SP.ObjectSharingInformation.anonymousViewLink property in sp.js.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj246826.aspx
To get the anonymous guest link “Edit”, we can use SP.ObjectSharingInformation.anonymousEditLink property in sp.js.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj246468.aspx
We can also use REST API to get the guests links:
_api/web/Lists/getbytitle('library name')/items(item id)/GetObjectSharingInformation?$expand=SharedWithUsersCollection&retrieveAnonymousLinks=true
Thanks,
Victoria
