Need guidance - Creating PDF navigation: What do I need?

Hi,
I could really use some guidance.  I often create single page PDF documents using Illustrator (and have someone in the office combine a few with distiller when multiple page docs are needed). 
I now need to create a 10 page PDF that I would like to include navigation within (title page has logos that jump to specific pages inside the PDF).
Questions:
Best way to do this? (I don't believe I can do within Illustrator)
What software do I need?  $449 for Acrobat X Pro is rough.  Can Adobe X Standard to this, or an older verson?  I can't find a comparison chart between the two.
Any general suggestions and tips would be GREAT.  I'm on a deadline, and swimming upstream.
Thanks,
Lands

  • Export or "Save As" PDF - missing shapes in final created PDF

    Hello,
    I am using Illustrator CS5.
    I created a brochure with some images, shapes and text with minimal effects (some drop shadow).
    When I export or do a "save as" pdf, four of my shapes do not appear in the created pdf.
    What type of reasons would create missing vector graphic shapes?
    Do I need to flatten my work? If so, what is the best method for this?
    Any guidance would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    Simon

    I figured it out.
    There was a setting in my pdf that had adobe layers on. I turned it off.
    All good now!

    Problem to make PDF file, stopps after 10%?

    Hey Tom,
    Could you please tell me how have you been trying to create PDFs.
    What exact error pops up on your screen when it stops after 10%?
    Please specify more on what you mean by saying 'trayed Acrobat IX prof.demo' as I need to analyze what exactly is the trouble.
    Hope to get your response.

  • What do I need to create PDF files on my iPad?

    So, in trying to resolve the frustration I am having in using Adobe Reader for iOS to create PDFs (without having to pay Adobe another 25% of my current Creative Cloud subscription....) I logged a sales eqnuiry via Adobe website.
    I get a call back withint a couple of hours. Not bad.
    He immediately asks how many computers I have enabled for my Creative Cloud account. Only one, I say.
    Well, he says, then you can install Creative Cloud on your iPad.
    No I can't, I said - Creative Cloud for iPad is a very skinny client, only handles Photoshop, and view some file formats. Not a full Acrobat function.
    Oh, he says, let em check. Eventually comes back. Yes, you are right he says. You have to pay us another $15 per month on top of the $50 per month Creative Crowd (even though CC already includes Acrobat Pro) you already pay, just so you can create PDFs on your iPad.
    That's ridiculous, I say - Adobe does not know how customers want to use your products. More people are going to use a desktop plus tablet - or laptop only. But if I have a desktop and a laptop I can have Creative Cloud on both. I accept that they are different OS, but don't make excuses like "Acrobat.com is a different product to Acrobat Pro" - I already pay for the latter in my CC subscription, so why should I be price gouged another 25%? Makes Adobe look plain greedy - and still they don't want to pay tax in Australia....
    If it was no more than $5 per month on top of the CC subscription, maybe I would go for it - but anything more is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY in my opinion. 

    Hi GrattanGuru,
    You have creative cloud subscription as you have mentioned. Under Adobe Reader to convert PDF to other formats Adobe offers online service called Acrobat.com services: https://www.acrobat.com/en_us.html
    That would be the reason support person might have told you on call, that you have to pay for that service.
    Under creative cloud you are getting Adobe applications. However under Acrobat.com you are getting online services which are providing Acrobat functions online.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

  • I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am do

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • What program filenames are used to create PDFs?

    We are in school where we restrict what type of programs the students can access by filenames (e.g. Word.exe, Excel.exe), using the Windows 2003 Group Policy "Run only Windows Applications" policy.
    I've added all the programs I can in the Adobe folder into the policy(e.g. Acrobat.exe and so forth).
    However, whenever the students try to create a PDF from an application, say Word 2003, the restrictions kick in "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator."
    Printing to physical printers works fine. It's only when I try to print to Adobe PDF does the error message occur. I can't find out what program adobe is trying to use to create the PDF.
    I've tried process tracking and the registry to find out what uses it and I can't find it.
    When I try as a student going into Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and try to Create PDF....from file.... the "Starting the application which created the selected document. Please wait" appears then states: "Acrobat could not open xrd.doc' because it is wither not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't properly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
    Which, of course, I've tried as the first step.
    The clients are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, with Office 2003 as the program they are trying to create from.
    The software being used is Adobe Web Premium CS3.
    Server Enviorment: Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 2
    Client Spec: Pentium 4, 512Mb-1024Mb of memory, 40 gig hard disk
    Can anyone help? Some students need to create PDF documents as part of their coursework and time is looming.

    That worked!
    Now getting the error message "Adobe PDF Creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated," but looking at the KB for a solution for that. It still prints out the PDF fine.
    Many Thanks.

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

  • Downloaded free trial and want to make a pdf.  what do i need to do?

    I downloaded iX reader today.  I want to make a PDF.  What do I need to do?  Software keeps saying "not responding".

    Adobe Reader cannot create PDF or "edit"/touchup PDF.
    To create PDF or manipulate PDF you must purchase and install Acrobat.
    If that is not feasible you can subscribe to the appropriate Adobe online service.

  • Your latest update says Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1 will be disabled, but I must use it daily, so what am I to do?

    The above question says it all. I'm currently running Firefox 6.2. Don't know what other info you need. My dilemma is simple: I can't do my work without Adobe Acrobat. You say I MUST update my version of Firefox for security reasons, but you will disable Adobe (for some indeterminate period of time). What would you do if you were me? If you want to discuss my cell is: 317-439-0915. Thanks, Bill Stanley 11/9/11

    Bill,
    You can achieve the same results as with Adobe Create PDF by following this procedure:
    (1) Click on the Orange Firefox tab in the upper left Firefox user interface (or else the "Menu Bar" if you have it enabled), then "Save Page As" followed by "Web Page Complete" in the menu that will appear to save the web page and associated/linked folder of files on your desktop.
    (2) Use the mouse to right click on the firefox icon for the saved webpage on your desktop.
    (3) In the context menu that appears, choose and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF"
    (4) The process takes a few seconds, but the pdf file should then appear.
    (5) Delete the saved webpage file from your desktop. (Just deleting the main file will put the folder that's linked to it also into the trash)
    Unlike using the Adobe PDF printer from Firefox, this will preserve any embedded url links that were in the web page and have them appear as clickable links in the pdf. And unlike using the create pdf option and typing the url into Adobe Acrobat itself it will work for sites such as some online encyclopedias that you have to log into to access.
    Alternatively, you could just use Internet Explorer, on which Create PDF 1.1 does work - except if you're asking then you obviously prefer Firefox.
    Of course it would be better if Adobe would keep up with the latest versions of Firefox, but it isn't doing that. At least the procedure, though more awkward than just being able to click on the create pdf icon on Firefox, does produce the same result from Firefox.

  • Firefox 8... Unable to create PDF files from screen using Adobe Acrobat X...what happened?

    I'm no longer able to use the Adobe feature to create PDF's from the Firefox screen.
    Unable to find any information on correcting this issue.
    I would not have upgraded to Firefox 8 if I knew the loss of the Adobe PDF feature would be effected.
    I reinstalled the standard Adobe Acrobat X with no results...
    What happened?

Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

  • Need help creating pdf contracts: Reader vs. Acrobat

    I am needing some help regarding creating pdf contracts to send to clients. It will basically need to have info input by 2 different parties, the catering company and their client. I am on a Mac and will be originally creating the pdf contract. It will then be used by a catering company, who is using Windows. They will need to input information into this contract, such as dates, client info, prices, menus, etc. Then, they will email it to the client (probably using Windows) for their electronic signatures, ability to print for their files, etc., and then return the signed pdf to the catering company.
    I have been going through Reader and Acrobat to see which application would be better to use. In Acrobat, I exported the pdf to Word to input info, but Word changes the appearance/formatting of things. The catering personnel don't need to have to rearrange the appearance, they need something they can simply fill in info on. Is there a way around this?? I then made a new pdf and the rest of the process seemed to function okay.
    In Reader, I couldn't find a way to export to Word in order to fill in info and create a new pdf...is this correct? So it seems that I would have to create forms for both parties originally, then have the catering company fill out their portions, and then send the pdf onto the client to fill in their portions. But, if the client highlights the fields, all will be highlighted, not just the ones they need to complete. And, would they be able to alter the fields that the catering company filled out?
    Could somebody PLEASE help me out with the logistics of this process???
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Boy - it's been a year and a half since you asked this question!  So not sure if you're still out there.....
    Looks like no one replied.  Did you ever figure it out?  I need to do the same thing...

  • Using Flash/Actionscript to create PDF Portfolio Navigator

    Hi Guys
    We've been using Acrobat Pro Extended to create PDF
    Portfolio's for a wee while now, and now in order to create a
    'fresh look', my boss is wanting to create custom navigators.
    As the programmer of the team, I've looked into it and found
    out that it involves Actionscripting/Flex. While I'm a decent
    enough programmer, Actionscript isnt something I've used before, so
    I was wondering if there were any online guides or books I could
    buy that
    specifically show how to create a customer navigator for a pdf
    portfolio.
    Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

    I also have the same goal except I am not even a decent
    programmer. I am actively looking for a place to download the
    working Carosel that is kind of advertised as a capability of
    Acrobat. Even if someone was selling it...I just wanted to chime in
    for support on the topic.
