Opening a PDF Portfolio in a Blackberry

We're having an issue with opening PDF Portfolio files created with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
The message we get when opening the PDF file is:
"For the Best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later.'
Your help is appreciated.

How are you attempting to open the file... from an email attachment or a standalone file on your Media Card?

For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Read

Hi,
For the first time I am aware of a user has received a PDF that cannot be opened in Preview.
The pdf opens to a splash screen showing, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." There is a large button showing " Get Adobe Reader 9"
It is a 15Mb document but we cannot get beyond the splash screen in Preview so I have had to install Reader 9 for the user.
Turns out the document is a very basic slideshow. It seems this is a new (to me) format of PDF which forces users to install Reader.
Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
Thanks,
b .

Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
I doubt it, but perhaps others have better info...
You can ask Apple to expand Preview's capabilities here:

Personally I have never found Preview to be a complete substitute for Adobe Reader and always have both on my machine to deal with pdfs, which have a large number of possible variations in terms of version, features, and encodings.

Unable to open PDF portfolio (Error Msg: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in...)

I am having a problem opening an important PDF portfolio document using Adobe Reader (version 11.0.02) for Mac (Mountain Lion version 10.8.3).
When I attempt to open the file, I come up with the error message: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later", and I am unable to view the document. This is becoming very frustrating, as I am attempting to open the document with the new version of Adobe Reader (which I have downloaded multiple times).
If anyone has a solution for this problem that would be very helpful!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. No I'm not using iPad, I have a MacBookPro. I just wasn't sure which forum was best to post this question in.
I have flash but Adobe still won't open my documents.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Some elements of downloaded PDF not showing (Error: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio...")

I'm on a PC attempting to view a downloaded PDF. It's an application so the document is generated by our online system and aggregates info from the applicant as well as documents they uploaded. I can see most of the final product but the document uploaded by the applicant gives the error "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I downloaded the latest Reader (DC) and when I searched to download the latest Flash Player I got a message that it should be up-to-date since I use Chrome. I've seen other folks having this problem; any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response! The document appears the same either way. I downloaded the file and have opened it with both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

How can I open a PDF portfolio in an ipad mini ?

I am new in Apple things and the first one I get (ipad mini) is not able to open a PDF porfolio with 30 pages. All I get is a message suggesting me to download Adobe Reader which I did but still the same and all I can get after is open only the first page of the portfolio but no way to navigate through the document. Would someone help ?

When a portfolio PDF is opened in Adobe Reader for iOS, what you will get is a list of the documents that are included in the portfolio. A portfolio isn't a document with pages, it is a container for file attachments that has a Flash-based interface. Flash is not allowed on iOS as it is on a Windows or Mac OS, to the list of files is all you get.
If you don't see the list of documents, then it may be that you're not opening the portfolio PDF in Adobe Reader, but rather iOS's built-in PDF viewer. Look for the Open In icon and select Adobe Reader if that's the case.
If you're using the term "PDF portfolio" to refer to something else, post again and calrify exactly what you mean.

PDF Portfolio will open in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome

I have a PDF Portfolio linked on my site. I can open it fine in IE (version 9), but it will not open in Firefox 21 or Chrome 27. When I click on the link, I get the message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Even though I can open it fine in IE and I know I already have the correct version, I click on the link/button to download now. It says it installs successfully, but I still am unable to open it in the two browsers.
Any advice is appreciated!

Firefox (from version 19) and Chrome use their own PDF viewers; these may not be compatible with many standard PDF files.

Opening a .pdf in a Portfolio causes pop up "For best experienc use Acrobat 9 or Reader 9 or later."

I created a portfolio. In it is a converted Word doc .pdf with links to two other .pdf's that are inside the same portfolio. The other two .pdf's open normally when clicked on. The one with the links gives me a pop up message when the icon is clicked that is supposed to open one of the other .pdf's.
"For best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." It shows as a cover sheet in the upper left hand corner. What is causing this and how do I turn that off so it opens the linked .pdf's normally?

Well, that's not my intention anyway unless I inadvertantly did something else by accident. My goal is:
Take a .docx with two pdf's embedded and convert it to a .pdf
Create a portfolio with the first .pdf in it and two other .pdf's in it as well.
Link the two icons in the first pdf to the the two other pdf's in the portfolio
This is so the user can open the first one and then only click on the icon to open the other pdf it's linked to. This is for part number control purposes so it must be this way. One part number = one pdf, the other part number = the other pdf.
I would be willing to email my original files to someone and have them try putting them together. It's not really confidential information, just not something I would want out on the web either though. I appreciate your patience with me on this. I've done it in the past but I have a new PC with W7 and fresh install of Acrobat 9 so I can't figure out what is different or why it's behaving this way. Also, now I can't reply to this thread with IE10 and had to switch over to Chrome to add this.

Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
:"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button. Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
Thanks !
Bruce Dana.

Cannot open pdf portfolio using adobe reader X

Hi
Previously, I thought that having Adobe reader 5 or up is enought to be able to open PDF portfolio's created in Adobe acrobat X, though on a differing level of view depending on the Adobe reader version.
My Problem is, I tried to open a PDF portfolio, I have Adobe Reader X and it came up with an error.
Newbie question, So, to view portfolios or any PDF's with flash etc, the ussual Reader would no longer suffice?
Regards
Jani

Thanks for the replies. Dave, thanks for the really helpful link.
The problem that this has created is for some guys who are previously sending reports (multiple pdf's/portfolio) to their clients in a hassle free way since it only requires the client (recipient) to have Adobe Reader installed. Now it requires another program as it was sort of separated from the Reader family. Previously, instead of having the ussual coversheet for the PDF portfolio to include that it is best to view on the latest version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat, will now need to include the latest version of Flash player as well.
I have not tested yet, though probably on another topic, but does this also affect if you are planning to open a PDF created in Indesign and given the format of "page flip"?
Dave, do you have any tips on a possible workaround or atleast creating a pdf portfolio or any PDF document with SWF/flash capability to be user friendly or less hassle for a recipient to open?
I am really sorry if I have a lot of questions =(

Can't open PDF portfolio in Adobe Reader 11.0.10

I've seen this question asked a few times on the Forums, but I haven't seen an answer.
I received a PDF portfolio, but I can't open it on my Mac (OSX 10.10.2) using Adobe Reader 11.0.10. When I try to open it, I get the message, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I've tried both Adobe Reader and Acrobat (also 11.0.10) but I keep getting the same message in both. I heard that this can sometimes be a problem caused by Flash, but I am running version 16.0.0.296 of that. I tried updating both Adobe Reader and Flash Player just in case I didn't have the latest version for some reason, but I still can't open the file. Is there anything else that I should do to get it to open correctly?

Hi Zak ,
In order to view PDF Portfolio content, you need to have Flash Player installed on your system.
You might have been prompted to use Flash Player to view the same.
Have you installed Adobe Flash Player on your system? You can install it from the link mentioned below:
Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions
Let us know.

How do I open the Special Edition Acrobat X PDF Portfolio themes?

I chose these themes as my complimentary benefit when I installed Acrobat X, and downloaded the ZIP file to my hard drive without incident. I then extracted the files within the ZIP file. However, when I open Acrobat, and attempt to import the four themes, my browser won't recognize that the files are there - and I have no option to search for "All Files" or otherwise change the three-letter extension.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Tom

In Acrobat X PDF Portfolios there are two levels of "templates" to customize the style of the document interface.
A Layout (internally called a "navigator") has the file extension .NAV and controls the layout of the Portfolio, the way the cards animate, where the scrollers are, and so forth. Layouts are written in Flex.
A Theme is a SWF file "skin" which is applied over the top of a Navigator - this is what's in the Special Edition pack. Standalone Themes are usually drawn in Flash Pro or Illustrator, and contain no code. They're simply a collection of graphics with pre-defined symbol names.
To apply a Theme, create/open a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro, and from the Edit Pane, choose Visual Themes -> Import Custom Theme, and select the SWF. It will be embedded into the PDF Portfolio, but won't be permanently-added to the Acrobat panes. Themes can be applied to almost any Layout, but each time you change the Layout your theme will be reset.
There's a detailed video explaining how all these things work on AUC.

Dynamically change the document when the user opens it through a PDF Portfolio

Hello
I'm generating a PDF Portfolio using LiveCycle PDF Generator. I need to dynamically change the document that is presented when the user opens a PDF portfolio.
Can anyone give ideas on how to accomplish this using the portfolio and navigator API?
Thank you

That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

PDF portfolio view in Adobe reader

Hi,
I recently created a PDF portfolio for a co-worker using Acrobat 9.0 Pro. I used the Grid with File Preview layout and added a header that appears right above the grid. Everything works well except that when my co-worker opens the PDF portfolio in Adobe Reader, I think it's 9.0, the preview pane takes up most of the screen so that the grid and header are barely visible. Of course, all my co-worker has to do is move the divider over to the right so that the divider is around the middle of the screen, then he can clearly see the complete grid along with the header.
Is there anyway to make my PDF portfolio open up in Reader so that the dividing line is right in the middle between the grid and preview pane so that the grid and header are clearly visible without having to move the divider? Also, I encountered the same problem when I tried to use a welcome window. In Acrobat 9.0, the welcome window is dead center over the grid and the preview pane is invisible unless I click to proceed. However, when I open the PDF portfolio in Reader, the welcome window only appears in the grid section and again, the gird section is mostly covered up by the preview pane.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Operating system? Reader version? Local or online files?

Unnecessary Acrobat 9 Warning in PDF Portfolio

When I open a PDF Portfolio using Acrobat 9 Professional, I get a screen advising "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in
Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later."
This is both unnecessary and confusing. Is this standard behavior, and if so is there some way to prevent it?

fwiw,
The ability to upload a file attachment to any of the Adobe Forums has been "off" for some time.
An easy alternative is to open a free acrobat.com account. Upload a copy of the problem Portfolio to it.
Use the share feature to provide a link that lets anyone participating here download the file for a look-see.
Easy, free, and may result in resolution(s).
Be well...

How can I open a PDF in iBooks on iPhone 5s?

I have PDFs in iBooks. When I try to open them it says I should open them with Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader but can't seem to get the PDFs to open with it.
I found a previous thread saying that you can't use Adobe Reader with iBooks, but that was before the 5s came out, so I'm starting a new thread. If you can't open a PDF from iBooks with Adobe Reader, why is it telling me to use Adobe Reader? And how else can I open it?
This shows what happens when I try to read my PDF, and click on the icon that's supposed to let me open it in Adober Reader:

This particular file is a PDF Portfolio, which needs Flash to display correctly. When you open a PDF Portfolio in the Adobe Reader mobile it will open in list view to get around the fact that Flash isn't supported on iOS. So, it won't open properly in a native viewer on iOS only within the Adobe Reader.
