Linked .pdf files within master .pdf file won't open

I have an 80+ page manual that I created in WordPerfect 12. It contains 550+ links to .pdf files that I have in the same sub-directory. Everything works fine when I use the master manual in its native WordPerfect format. However, when I publish the WordPerfect master document to .pdf format, the linked files will no longer open in Adobe Reader 9. Instead of opening the Reader program, it now tries to open my browser (Firefox) and open the file as an URL. This results in a error message. I would really like to distribute my manual as a .pdf file instead of WordPerfect file. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Could you let me know which version of Adobe Reader 9 are you using? You can try updating to the latest version ie 9.4.2 by doing a Help > Check for Updates.
That should fix the issue.
Alternatively, you could even download Adobe Reader X from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.

I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc.

I converted a .pdf file to word but it won't open in word. It's all jibberish.

Hey Jean Wood,
Please let me know whether you are using Adobe Reader or signed up at https://cloud.acrobat.com/.
Also, try converting any other PDF file to word and check what happens.
Have you downloaded the file first onto your computer?
Hope to hear from you.

iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

How to read/unzip a specific file within a zip file

Hi,
I have a file within a zip file that contains a timestamp - I want to read this timestamp and then create a destination directory for the remaining zip files to be unzipped into. Since I know the name of the file with the timestamp in it I thought I could create a zipfile and use getEntry to get the entry but then other than getting the size and name of the file I can't do much more with it like read it unless I use a stream (zipinputstream) instead of a file (zipfile) - do I have this right?
Does this mean to get the content I would have to loop through possibly all the files using the stream until I come across the one I want - then get the timestamp and loop through them all again to write them to the destination directory? Or am I reading this wrong - seems a bit round about.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

this works though - and you don't have to loop through all the files - just use the ZipFile:
ZipEntry ze = zipfile.getEntry("path/to/file");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(zf.getInputStream(ze)));
line = br.readLine;Thanks!

How to unzip a zip file within another zip file

I've got code that successfully processes a file within a zip file.
But now the zip file can also contain other zip files. How can I
process a zip nested within a zip without actually extracting the
files? It looks like I need a ZipFile object to be able to take
advantage of the zip classes for reading zip entries. But the
ZipFile methods want as an argument an actual file, as opposed
to some object in memory. I can read the 'inner' zip file into a
ZipInputStream object, but then how do I make that available for
processing as a ZipFile? I've searched all over and cannot find
anything anywhere that talks about working with nested zip files.
Does anyone have any sample code that does this? Thanks!

I have successfully done it.
You cannot have the code - it is proprietary.
However here are a few pointers:
o Use ZipStreams rather than ZipFile.
o ZipStream is just a filter on a stream, so you can have a zipstream open, read a ZipEntry, then ask for a substream for the stuff up to the next ZipEntry. Put a second ZipStream on that substream.
o As I recall you have to watch out that your inner ZipStream does not do a close. (Everything will get closed.) Instead, there is another ZipStream method that will close without closing all the underlying streams.
Hope this helps.

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13 this morning and now, when I click on a link in an email or webpage, it won't open Firefox. How can I get this option restored in Firefox so I don't have to copy and paste the link?

Trouble With Links to Network Files Within Online PDF

I posted this at the end of someone else's thread who had a similar problem but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Either that or no one has an answer. Here goes...
I create a Word document that contains links to network files (tested and working) and convert the document to a PDF. The links still function in the PDF when I test them. However, when someone opens the document from our intranet, the file:/// is replaced with some form of a relative link, either to a users C: drive or to an http:// directory. If I then go into the PDF and change the link action from Open File to Open Web Link and provide the full file:/// path, everything works as intended. This really wouldnt be a big deal if I was the one maintaining the document or if it were an occasional thing. The problem is that updating or adding a link to the document means correcting the existing links all over again. This is very cumbersome for the user who maintains the document.
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional. Any ideas?

I'm having a similiar issue with cross platform (Vista to Mac OS X 10.5) file linking. We currently store indesign files on a folder in a shared drive (the mac unix path to the drive is /Volumes/SharedDrive and the vista path is Z:\) and link assets in the document to another folder stored on the shared drive. Note that all linked assets are not stored in the same location on the shared drive, for instance a linked image could be deep in the folder structure (/Volumes/SharedDrive/Marketing/Images/Fall09/example.jpg).
The Vista computer references files differently than the mac on the shared drive, it seems to mount the network drive directly on the root level rather than in the /Volumes folder. I've tried to symlink the graphics folder (the one containing all the linked assets) to the root level of the hard drive (ln -s /Volumes/SharedDrive/Graphics /Graphics) but when we tried relinking the assets InDesign figured out it was a symlink and resolved the path to the absolute path. Is there some sort of configuration option in mac to mount this windows drive (it is on SBS Windows 2003) in a way that won't cause linking conflicts between mac and pc? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Thank you for all your help!

Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions. Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet? For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper. I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet. Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
Thank you in advance
David

Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

Cannot open embedded PDF files within a PDF

Is there a way to open a PDF file (by double clicking) that is within a PDF file? The file was created in Word 2007 by inserted the pdf file as an object. I am using Acrobat Professional 9.

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

Website is caching metadata from orig AI file within the PDF?

I had an Illustrator file and printed as a PDF. Uploaded to the web under a different file name.
Why when I do a Google search is the search engine displaying the name of the AI file?? How would it even know this?
Is metadata getting captured within the PDF and the web crawler picking up on?
Please explain and tell me how to control this?
Thanks!

As noted you should look at the meta data of the PDF. This is part of the PDF properties and with the addition of XMP data, there is a lot data retained by the PDF during Creation. Be sure to investigate the 'Additional Meta data' and 'Advanced' buttons. If this is a problem, look at removing the data by manually deleting it or using a redaction tool.

Is it recommended to link an illustrator file within another illustrator file?

Considering best practices for design reproduction... and that the linked file will contain a linked photoshop image.

I believe once you link an image, wherever it goes goes the image, too. Things get dicey when you move the image from where it was linked from, but if you have not moved the image and it shows it is still linked in the Links palette of the first Illustrator file ( which is placed into a new Illustrator document ), then the image remains linked. So, to answer your question, no need to link again in the second file ( unless the link was somehow broken ).

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...
