Need tip or advice for moving within large pdf (900 pages)

I am working on a large pdf (8-900 pages) and want to help navigate the reader through it as easily as possible. Ive tried linking pages
(lets say link a page from the Table of Contents to page # 400) but unfortanetly theres no way to get them BACK to the page they were linked
from. Anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to make this a easier procees?
Thanks

~graffiti - I was able to create bookmarks but is there a way to make the bookmark tab pop open automatically when the PDF is opened? Like a default setting? Id like for the pdf reader to know there is a functioning bookmark available.
thanks

  • Search for content within a PDF

    Is it possible to search for content within a PDF across a mapped drive?

    Yes. Use Edit>Advanced search. Choose All PDF Documents in and choose the mapped drive.
    They have to be searchable PDF's of course...

  • Possible Failing Hard Drive...advice for moving forward

    I've been having lengthy delays caused by spinning beach ball of death and decided to get serious about my back-ups while I figured out what was wrong. In addition to Time Machine, have purchased a drive just to have a clone copy of hard drive and a bootable startup drive. While using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this, it reported bad sectors on my drive. Suggested deleting those files which I proceeded to do (deleting those took forever as it initiated the sbbod for each one). But the SBBOD keeps occuring.
    I need help and advice to think this through...(actual questions in bold)
    5 bad sectors aren't a lot but even 1 that causes the wretched SBBOD is too much. Is there a way to avoid that sector or is it just a precurser of future bad things to come? (let me say here that my drive is not a Seagate).
    Do those bad sectors corrupt my clone?
    I don't want to weigh this discussion down with too many questions...but these are my thoughts about moving forward
    If I decide that, indeed, my hard drive is failing I see the following options:
    Replace hard drive (have received local quote of $100 for labor + cost of drive approx $100) - this is certainly the cheapest, easiest and most logical solution.
    Take this opportunity to replace the laptop I gave to my daughter when hers was stolen. I would only do this if I could use the iMac's screen as a 2nd monitor. However, the early 2009 iMacs don't support being used as 2nd monitor. I would have to use ScreenRecycler & a VNC. How do those affect performance? If there is no adverse affect, I like this solution.
    Any and all advice appreciated. iMac specs in signature.

    Thanks for your reply Linc

    Do you mean in addition to the hard drive, as that failure seems pretty evident at this point? I guess the cable would be a visual inspection. How would I know about the logic board?
    I'm pretty well convinced to replace the Hard Drive. Now the fun question is do I want to go with an SSD drive? I'm reading up now - obviously we're talking expensive for the size I would need. Not sure about these hybrid drives? Small amount of SSD combined with large amount of hard disk? Also reading about using the optical drive slot with something like OWC's Data Doubler. So many options. Any thoughts are welcome

  • Advice for moving to, and updating Aperture on, new computer?

    I am moving to a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, from a 6-year-old MacBook Pro. I'm looking for tips to make the transition smoother.
    I will be upgrading to the newest version of Aperture. I currently have Aperture 3.4.5. Everything is all on my laptop. The Aperture file is 938 MB, and is SLOW! It's barely usable as it is.
    I will be using TimeCapsule to transfer files. My current OS is 10.7.5.
    Should I update Aperture before I move it? Should I move it, and then update it? Should I (somehow!) "disconnect" the files from the program and then reconnect them after they are transferred?
    I'd like to make this transition as painless as possible!
    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    1. You can't update Aperture past 3.4.5 from 10.8.5 or earlier. You need to move it and then perform the update.
    2. See #1.
    3. No. Just keep a backup of them.
    4. If you got Aperture from a DVD and the new computer's running Yosemite, you'll probably need to contact Apple to perform the update.

  • Advice for working with large clip files

    A few years ago I made a movie using iMovie2. At the time I was working with clips recoded on one minidv disc. I am now ready to begin a project (just bought iLife06) that is much larger. I have roughly ten 60 min minidv discs. I am getting nervous about the amount of memory needed to import and work with this many clips.
    Is it possible to import the clips to my external fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the project lives on the ext firewire drive? Can anyone tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger projects like this? (I expect the final project will be 30-40 minutes).
    Since the footage all comes from our European concert tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections - would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end to create one film?
    Thank you so much for your help with this.
    Sincerely,
    Bob Linscott

    Is it possible to import the clips to my external
    fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the
    project lives on the ext firewire drive?
    Should be fine. I've been editing 4 hours worth of footage down to about 50 minutes, on a project stored on a FireWire 800 drive. FireWire 400 (if that's what you're using) is half the speed, but should still be fine, I think.
    So, create a new project, save it to your external drive, and then import your footage into the project.
    Can anyone
    tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger
    projects like this? (I expect the final project will
    be 30-40 minutes).
    If you mean hard drive space for the project, I think you're talking about 11 GB per hour: so, in short, a lot. I think you could import your footage, edit a bit, and empty your trash to free up space, but iMovie does seem to keep your originals fairly relentlessly, so I'm not entirely sure.
    Watch out for extracting audio from clips too: I've been doing this in order to do cross-fades, but it increases the size of your movie. I ended up buying a second, bus-powered 80 GB external hard drive just to hold the iMovie project
    Since the footage all comes from our European concert
    tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections -
    would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie
    projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end
    to create one film?
    This could well be a good idea. Once your projects gets over a certain length, you may experience the "herky jerky" pkayback issue (search for "herky jerky" on these forums), making editing difficult. So three separate projects might be easier.
    To combine them all at the end, you'll want to export the 2nd and 3rd projects as full quality DV (Share > QuickTime > Compress Movie For: Full Quality), then import them (File > Import) into your first project, and add them to the timeline.

  • Need usablility expert advice for an ncurses based pacman frontend

    Hi,
    I am working on a frontend for pacman using  ncurses/python/pyalpmm. It is in really early stage of development. So i need advice about usability aspects of the program .
    Screenshot  http://omploader.org/vMXVhaQ
    The program will mostly be useful for searching and browsing  ( nothing can beat pacman for installation and updating )
    Ideas(some implemented, some not yet )
    1) It has a 3 pane layout like most of the other package managers.(Suggestions for any better layout ? )
    2) Uses vim based keybindings ( j/k = up/down, / = search, tab = switch between panes  i=install, d=remove ?=help )
    3) few more options to show orphans etc
    4) planning to implement a tree based layout showing deps
    5) Also a sort by real size option for installed packages (like Allans script )
    6) pick and choose updates is also something which i have been missing for long time.
    The idea is to keep the interface as clean/simple as possible
    All ideas and suggestions are welcome

    This looks really nice. I am looking forward to it.
    1) It has a 3 pane layout like most of the other package managers.(Suggestions for any better layout ? )
    This would be fine. The other suggestion with panes on top would work as well. I guess panes on top (i.e. a stacked layout) would save space.
    2) Uses vim based keybindings ( j/k = up/down, / = search, tab = switch between panes  i=install, d=remove ?=help )
    Vim is so confusing. Please make a Emacs keybinding as as well And of course an intuitive dummy mode (arrows, space|enter=mark etc)
    All ideas and suggestions are welcome
    Maybe a feature to sort by type of program. I.e. X programs, cli programs etc. I think Zendo/zpm for Zenwalk/Slackware is really great and something similar to your project, although not in ncurses.

    For overall power supply wattage, add the requirement for each device in your system, then multiply by 1.8. (The multiplier takes into account that today’s systems draw disproportionally on the +12V output. Furthermore, power supplies are more efficient and reliable when loaded to 30% - 70% of maximum capacity.)

  • Need logical setup advice for new iTunes on external HDD and new laptop

    New to Win7, would like to know the best way to re-create from scratch my 5+ year old iTunes library on a new external hard drive without simply copying the previous iTunes folder structure over. I guess that I would like to add all the music, video, movie and iPhone app files to a new library. What is the best method to do this so that iTunes can organize all of the new data from scratch correctly? What about reauthorizing apps and media I purchased through iTunes? anything special to do to reintroduce this data to a new iTunes?
    (to clarify - I intend to install the iTunes program on my local C drive in programs on the laptop and all data on the external drive) Thanks...

    Steve M. wrote:
    I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
    Yes, that's best.
    But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
    Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
    By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
    In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376

  • Advice for moving entire photo collection from one computer to another?

    I'm in the process of getting a new desktop. However, I already have gigs of photos that I've processed through Lightroom on my old computer. I'd like to move the entire collection to my new computer. Is there a simple way of doing this? It sounds like a daunting task.

    Here's the way I did it. I was moving from one mac to another mac, but I think that the database file is platform independent so you might try this.
    Back up your database on your old machine. Make note of where that file is.
    Have Lightroom installed and started up at least once on your new machine.
    Copy all your photo files, with whatever directory structure you like to your new machine.
    Move the database backup you made over to your new machine into whatever directory you wish to keep it.
    Start Lightroom on the new machine and open up your backed-up database.
    All you photos will probably be in red, since the database is pointing to the wrong locations. Select one photo in the grid, and lightroom will ask you where it is. Point Lighroom to the new location -- if you've kept your directory structure intact, Lightroom should go out and reconnect all the database links.
    Worked for me. Good luck.

  • Tips or tools for handling very large file uploads and downloads?

    I am working on a site that has a document repository feature. The documents are stored as BLOBs in an Oracle database and for reasonably sized files its not problem to stream the files out directly from the database. For file uploads, I am using the Struts module to get them on disk and am then putting the blob in the database.
    We are now being asked to support very large files of 250MB+. I am concerned about problems I've heard of with HTTP not being reliable for files over 256MB. I'd also like a solution that would give the user a status bar and allow for restarts of broken uploads or downloads.
    Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf module that might help in this regard? I suspect an ActiveX control or Applet on the client side would be necessary. Freeware or Commercial software would be ok.
    Thanks in advance for any help/ideas.

    Hi. There is nothing wrong with HTTP handling 250MB+ files (per se).
    However, connections can get reset.
    Consider offering the files via FTP. Most FTP clients are good about resuming transfers.
    Or if you want to keep using HTTP, try supporting chunked encoding. Then a user can use something like 'GetRight' to auto resume HTTP downloads.
    Hope that helps,

  • I need some performance advice for video editing

    or
    I am deciding on which Mac Book Pro to purchase for video editing. My choices are:
    2012 - 2.3 Ghz Quad-Core i7 w/ 500GB Serial ATA@5400 rpm 8G RAM
    or
    2013  - 2.0 Ghz Quad-Core i7 w/ 256 Flash Storage 8G RAM
    The one is a year newer but .3 Ghz slower processor and I'm really not sure if it would matter that much for video editing. (FCPX, After Effects, etc.) I know the Flash Storage would be faster as far as opening applications etc., but for video editing, I didn't know.
    Can someone more qualified than me recommend which would be best. I need a laptop for video editing, but I need the least expensive I can get so I am looking at refurbs from Apple.
    Thank you!

    If you look at the 2013 Retina models in the Apple store, you'll see the higher end version has both the Intel Iris and an additional Nvidia graphics module. The higher end models have this additional circuit, which is to provide faster and smoother graphics for video, games, etc.
    I'd suggest looking at both model benchmarks at everymac.com. Here's the 2012:

  • Fastest method for searching within a PDF file?

    I have created a PDF document that holds all document reports for the last 10 years. It is currently 30,000 pages. As time goes on, incoming reports append to this PDF. This has proven to be an excellent way of holding and retrieving information, allowing me to pull up reports using specific search criteria.
    The question I pose is this. Is there any faster way to search this mammoth document than the adobe search feature? The adobe search feature has great functionality, without a doubt. And even with 30,000 pages I can search the entire document in about 5 minutes or so, however in this day and age, 5 minutes can be a lifetime, especially to a client, lawyer, doctor, etc...
    Does anyone know of a way of improving Adobe's search function to expedite it, or know of any existing third party programs that are able to do this (free or for cost)?
    I appreciate your time, love the community, and await your response.
    Have a great day.

    Hi,
    You can try going to finder, hitting CMD + F and below search this mac, you should see kind. You can try switching that contents and the second option to documents.
    Hope this helps,

    My key tip is to EXPECT corruption. Keep every save separately so you can go back before damage (which might not be visible). Don't just keep a single old file or rely on daily backups.
