Muse/Acrobat question about interactive PDFs linked to in Muse...

So I made a link to email, gave it a blue rollover state, exported this in an interactive PDF which I then have a link to in Muse. When you click on it, it opens in a new window/tab, w/ this weird gray color behind it. Any ideas how I can remove this? See link below for a visual:

Thanks!

When a PDF is opened in a browser, it can either use Acrobat/Reader, or something else such as the default PDF viewers in Chrome and Firefox. If it is being opened in one of these non-Adobe PDF viewers, be prepared for behavior that's different than it is in Acrobat/Reader, especially with interactive elements. The one in Chrome is better than the one in Firefox.

  • Hello question about certified pdf

    Hello,
    I have a question about certified pdf.
    My client wants to have a certified pdf , when  I make a high resolution PDF in CMYK is this oke for print media?
    Or do I need to do somthing els??

    As Dov says, it's very likely that what they actually mean is a PDF/X file - some flavors of which you can make from InDesign using the Export > PDF (Print) dialog presets, and some you can make using Acrobat Pro.
    However it's very important to find out exactly what they want:
    There a couple of versions of PDF/X (the older PDF/X-1a is very widely supported but can only cope with CMYK - the newer PDF/X-4 is more flexible and handles things like spot colors, but is often not printable on older hardware).
    When exporting to CMYK you have to choose a color profile - and that will depend on the printer's hardware and proofing systems. You may have to choose exactly the right one, or they may be able to convert back from any profile - until you find out you're working in the dark.
    Of course you also need to know the printer's rules about bleed, TAC, etc.

  • Questions about my PDF portfolio.

    I have only a few questions about a CD portfolio I am designing with Acrobat Professional (8.0)
    There were a few things i couldn't figure out on my own.
    I have about 15-20 pieces to show on CD, but there is no web design involved, so I couldn't use my own web site layout to just throw onto CD, out of that convenience.
    1) How do you make sure the PDF will always opens at the size you want?
    For example, whenever I set the document at actual size (100% view) I close and open the document, and it reopens at a random size, such as 317 percent.
    WTH?
    2) Where can I find examples of design portfolios that were designed in Acrobat? Everyone's portfolio is online these days, which is not my style.
    3) Is it possible to make a 'thumbnail view' on the first PDF page (like you would see in a gallery on a website) that links from that page to any one of the 15-20 pieces?
    Any advice is much appreciated.

  • Acrobat adding %20 to pdf links in iOS

    Hi
    I have created a pdf with hyperlink URLs which works fine.
    However when it is opened in iOS devices Acrobat adds a %20 to the end of the URL which returns a page not found error.
    If I upload the source Word documents the links are fine.
    iOS will open links in other pdfs ok, but Im not sure what program created them.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    Thanks for any help,
    Harley

    Hi Guys.
    Thanks for your reply.
    This is what has happened.
    I created a pdf in Windows 7/64 using Acrobat 9 from a word document as source.
    I opened the pdf in Safari on an iOS device
    When I click the links in Safari on iOS device, the link is appended with %20 at the end and returns an invalid URL. I agree with Bill it is adding a space as %20 is the ascii code for a space.
    However, the space is not in the original link on the Word document or in the source text or in the hyperlink itself and the word document links work perfectly.
    Other pdfs links seem to work ok in Safari, so Acrobat must be doing something to the link to make Safari add the space / %20.
    Any suggestions would be very gratefully appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Harley
    These are the URLs for the pdf and word document.

  • What is the lowest version of acrobat that supports interactive PDFs

    what is the lowest version of acrobat that supports interactive PDFs

    As noted one can go back to PDF level version 1.2 but the forms need to be created with Acrobat and any JavaScript has to avoid using any features added with version 4 or above.

  • Techie Question about iWeb, outbound links, and Google Analytics

    Hi,
    I have a kind of pretty technical question about using Google Analytics (GA) with iWeb sites to measure clicks on outbound links. Here's the setup:
    1) My website's online, and GA is working properly.
    2) I don't sell stuff directly, but I do have a "Purchase" page which contains a link to a specific Amazon page.
    3) I'm pretty sure I can measure how many people go to the Purchase page using GA, but how do I measure whether visitors click on the Amazon link? It would be interesting to me to be able to gauge what the conversion rate is; that is, how many people actually proceed to purchase the product at Amazon.
    I've checked the GA instructions and there's a page about manually tracking clicks on outbound links but it requires some code inputting. I know zero about coding, but I'm pretty sure that in iWeb you can't get access to the source code to input the required code.
    Am I wrong about this? And if I am, then does anyone here know how to measure the clickthrough rate?
    Anyway, hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

    I don't know about the link tracking but you could have the link take you to a redirect page which automatically sends them to Amazon.com after a preset time, 0 seconds to whatever you'd like. You can put a counter on that redirect page, like StatCounter. StatCounter can tell you how many, from where they came, i.e country and area, repeat visits, etc.
    Tutorials #12 & #13 describe how to put a visible counter on a page but with a redirect page you wouldn't have to bother since it wouldn't be seen. You can get all of your information from your account on the StatCounter site.
    The redirect page would be a simple plain text page titled redirect.html and would look like this:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh"
    content="0; Destination URL">
    <title>Redirecting or whatever you'd like to appear at the top of the browser</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    0 Is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the visitor. If set to zero the visitor would not know they were being redirected. Replace Destination URL with the Amazon URL you want them to go to.

  • Question about opening pdf in Browser

    Hello All.
    Being a systemadministrator at a mental healthcare site, we use scanners for digitizing papers and importing this into our EPD.
    Digitized papers are in PDF format, but despite the settings in Adobe reader (EDIT - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - Show PDF in Browser) the PDF will always be opened in Adobe reader, making it difficult to save them in EPD.
    Is this a bug?
    Running Windows 2008 R2 64 Bits (Terminal Server) with IE 8.0.7601.17514 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0
    I don't see any Add-on called Adobe Reader in IE, I do see Adobe PDF link helper.
    Could the absence of this add-on be the cause of my problem?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jack

  • Interactive Reports - Question about Downloading PDF, CSV, Email, etc

    I recently installed the latest version of APEX. I deployed it as an EAR on Oracle WebLogic. I then created a simple
    interactive report that has the search bar above the report. The downloads (emailing, pdf, etc) do not work after I
    run the report.
    What setup\configuration is required to get the emailing and downloading of the other files to work?
    fyi: right now I have Oracle WebLogic, Oracle 10g, and APEX running locally on a XP based laptop.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hello Wes,
    Sending a report as an email requires an SMTP server. You need to configure your instance settings to point to the SMTP server.

  • Security question about opening PDFs in Reader as opposed to Standard or Professional

    Our ITC wants us to open all downloaded PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 as opposed to Acrobat 7.0 Standard. We currently have both. We download a lot of PDFs and frequently need to Reduce File Size or extract pages, etc. I am hoping to upgrade my Acrobat 7.0 Standard to Professional 9.
    Is there a valid security reason to always open first in Reader? Based on what I have read Acrobat Reader 9 and Professional 9 both had security risks and it is my understanding that a patch has been released today.
    Is there a security risk still for Acrobat Professional 9 and is there a security risk for Acrobat Standard 7.0? Does requiring us to download, save and open PDFs in Reader 9 first make sense from a security standpoint?
    Thanks very much for any input.

    I don't remember any claims that Reader was safer than Acrobat. I use Acrobat exclusively and Adobe recommends against installing both due to conflicts (they use a lot of the same files). The biggest factor to be careful about is to not open any attachments or applications that may be built in. These can be put in the PDF and both Acrobat and Reader open such tools. I would tend to question the basis for the IT folks decision, particularly based on the Adobe recommendation and problems that it creates. At least that is my opinion.

  • Question about reducing PDF file size on export

    I have a large file that is generates a PDF about 75MB when exported with the "[High Quality Print]" preset. However, I can reduce the size down to to under 5MG in Acrobat if I use the Tools>Flattener Preview>[Medium Resolution] setting (image attached). Is there a way to generate this smaller file directly from InDesign? I couldn't figure out how to do this with InDesign's Flattener Preview or Export options, but it is very likely that I missed something.

    Eugene Tyson wrote:
    When you choose Smallest File size, it is still using the PDF 1.6 setting.
    Change this to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) this will automagically flatten the PDF - which means you shouldn't have to do it in Acrobat.
    That should get you a nice small file size, I believe.
    Flattening transparency in InDesign will not necessarily yield a smaller PDF file size. Transparency flattening will not automatically convert placed vector artwork to raster images unless that vector artwork is actually involved with transparency. And even then, whether you end up with a smaller file depends on a number of factors.
    If the reason for the very large file size is indeed very complex vector artwork and you are willing to sacrifice quality, conversion of such vector artwork to raster might yield a significantly smaller exported PDF file. To accomplish that conversion, I would personally suggest converting the most offensive (in terms of file size and complexity) of such files in Illustrator (assuming that they were .AI files) and exporting them as .TIF files (to avoid the potential imaging artifacts of JPEG compression).

  • Questions About Interactive Forms

    I have a project that reqires an application and background check authorization. I want to have these forms on my website as an interactive form that can be opened by a potential applicant, filled out on their computer and submitted back to me. I want to receive the completed application back in PDF form filled out and with a signature.
    What do I need with my website and background apps to make this happen. Do I need some type of server application to make this happen.
    Next, what are the accepted ways of having a document/application signed by an applicant and delivered to me digitally.
    Thanks

    George
    Thanks for the quick reply. If it's an e-mail would I receive the actual
    form used or just the content the applicant input. I would want the actual
    document with a signature. If storing on my server would it be the document
    and input if so that would be a better option so I could download and print
    out if needed.
    A digital signature field I would trust would be the way to go for us.
    Here's a synopsis of my needs.
    I am hiring guys to play the role of Santa and make phone calls to children
    at Christmas and I need a multi-part  application so I can have background
    checks run so I have an extensive multi-page application and contract plus
    background check authorization already designed in PDF form but this last
    year we had to e-mail it and wait for US Postal delivery of the completed
    application and I want a streamlined online way to handle the application
    and hiring process because I will have 75 - 100+ possible applicants this
    year.

  • Question about overwriting PDFs

    I'm having a problem overwriting PDFs from InDesign or Illustrator.
    This isn't the same issue people are having where they're prompted that the file cannot be overwritten. I can save over the file no problem. The issue is when I open it, the old version comes up. Funny enough, the thumbnail preview in Finder actually shows the correct version, but the file itself is incorrect.
    I've tried deleting the PDF and saving a new version. Because of my workflow, I have to keep all versions that are sent out named and numbered properly in sequence. So when I name it the same way the old one was named, the old version still shows up!
    I'm really not sure if this is an Adobe Acrobat problem, a Creative Suite problem, or an Apple problem.
    Just some info on what I am using if it helps: Adobe Creative Suite 6 on an iMac with OS X 10.9.2.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Sounds more like a systemic problem with your file system and the resource forks are not updated. You should check your volumes with Disk Utility or use tools like OnyX to check for system problems.

  • Question about using database links in Forms 10g

    I have a form that uses a database link for the "Query Data Source Name," i.e. it is set to some_view@some_db_link
    For some reason when I run a query using the DB link the query takes approximately 30 seconds. When I remove the link and go local the query takes about one second. Has anybody observed and addressed this issue before (without going local of course)?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Let me first say that it is never a good idea to use a db link in the data source. It is better to create a synonym in the database and use this as the data source. If the db link changes, you only have to do this in the database, without recompiling forms.
    create synonym some_view for some_view@some_db_link
    This may already solve your problem. If not, than see if the query is also slow in sqlplus. You may have a problem in your connection between the two databases.

  • Questions about submitting PDF form to server

    I need to add a submit button to an existing PDF form that will submit it to a PHP script on the server. I can find information on submitting as FDF, but what does the "submit as HTML" option do? What and how does it submit to the server? I added a button (also a minor problem, the button text doesn't show) to the document with Acrobat 9 Pro, choosing the "Submit as HTML" option, but when I submit  it to a PHP script on the server that should echo or printr submitted $_POST data, I get an error message "An error occurred in the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/html."
    Apparently submitting as FDF is not an option, because the server does not have the FDF toolkit. What I need to be able to do is submit the PDF form with the information entered into it to the server, and redisplay it with the form inputs in place and with an added image. What would be the easiest way to do this? If I can get the form onto the server in HTML format, it would be easy to to add the image and redisplay it, or possible there is some way I could redisplay it in PDF format after adding an image to it? Any advice? Some tutorial on the other PDF form submit actions?

    Could someone at least point me to some information that provides all the details of how a PDF form is submitted to the server and discusses the options for the action? This information must surely exist somewhere, but after two days of searching I cannot find it.
    I am experienced with PHP (I used FPDF for one project) so a specific "how to" that is PHP oriented would be nice.

  • Question about making pdfs from Illustrator files

    Hi, can someone tell me how to solve the following problem? I am preparing pdfs that will be loaded onto a website. At the moment, I make pdfs of each Illustrator file (corresponding to each page of the document). Our current IT guy then processes the pdfs so that when someone accesses them on the website, they can simply scroll down from one page to the next. We are changing our IT set up, however, and our new IT guy suggests that it would speed things up if we could prepare a single pdf file that contains all the pdfs relating to a single document. Does anyone know if there is the facility to do this within Illustrator? (We seem to remember it could be done in the old Freehand software.) Many thanks

    Since artboards were introduced in CS4 you can create multipage pdfs directly from Illustrator.
    Tiling pages in Illustrator makes a single page pdf of all your pages, so stay away from that.
    Otherwise you would go into acrobat and stitch them together in either a pdf or pdf portfolfio file.
