.PDF organization

Hello all!
I am going paperless with my life. Included in my library will be MS documents (Word/excel/Power P/Etc) and scanned in documents. PDF files are great, because they are the scanner standard! I recently learned how to use MS File Tags to let my Windows Vista find documents.
For instance, need a copy of your 2007 Income taxes? Click search, and type in
tag: 2007 tax
This will bring up microsoft and .PDF files with the file tags (keywords for PDF) that include "2007" and "tax"
Now the problem:
Windows explorer (in Vista) can display a "Tags" column in the Details view. Microsoft Office documents show the file tags, while PDF do not. Explorer can search only the PDF Keywords Metatag, but will not display it nor any other metatags in explorer. I know many of you know this, as I have searched on this alot...
Why does the Keywords metatag seem to be the only one searchable? Can I create a unique metatag that will be fully read by explorer?
Adobe specific (like Organizer) and thrid party apps are not a good solution for this, as my database needs to be portable.
Thanks

One of the problems is the search algorithm used in the Windows search. I had searched for a file for about a year and until I found the issue with the MS search it had missed me. The search will search inside a file for only a given set of specific file types (all MS files). Other files can only be searched by name, not content. There is a flag for this in the registry. The post at http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2008/04/04/enabling-xp-and-windows-server-2003-to-s earch-all-files-types.aspx indicates one solution.
I think this is the process that you are referring to. If not, I am sorry. It is just that MS does not tell you that they do not search the content of ALL files, only the ones they have in a list (i.e., all MS files).

PDF Organization, Library?

Hello,
I have a collection of pdfs downloaded from the USPTO, specifically the Chapters from the MPEP, including a TOC pdf. It appears that the pdfs are linked, in the TOC document, there is a search link that opens up the full Acrobat search, from which all chapters in the MPEP (the collection of pdfs) can be searched. It is proving to be a great tool but I have no idea how it works, I am primarily concerned with not damaging it when I edit the individual chapters using Pro. If anyone could direct me to where I can read up on the organization or send me a note on the organization that would be great. Thanks
Further, unaware of the linkage I removed one chapter from the collection and added back another version of the same chapter which I had annotated, this chapter / pdf -the added one- is also searched when the link in the TOC is used to search.
Best,

Looking for a .pdf organizer/metadata editor

Hi,
I have a bunch of .pdf files of research papers that I would like to organized and publish to the web. I would like to be able to quickly preview the .pdf, rename, modify basic metadata like title, author, keywords and subject, and then upload to the web where the directory can be viewed or searched based on the metadata. What would you advise?
I am testing "A-PDF preview and rename" and I like the tool so far except I would like to be able to copy and past text out of the previewed document to be used in metadata fields.
I currently use CS4 with acrobat 9 pro.
Thanks,
bob

I found a better, partial solution, in case anyone is interested. Cost 60 bucks but does most of what I want it to do "PDF Explorer 1.5". No frills database for .pdf files that allows copy and past into metadata fields. Still nothing on sharing the database via the net or summarizing metadata as a web gallery. Maybe bridge can do this? or Photoshop? Would be cool to be able to create a photoshop image gallery that uses the .pdf cover page as the image and includes the display of chosen metadata... I will keep plugging but am still interested in anyone's ideas on this.

Problem sending email from Organizer 11

I installed Elements 11 and received a Verification Code however when trying to send photos through email attachment, it does not ask for the verification code and I get an error message :"cannot send to outbox". My OS is Vista 32 bit, email client is Windows Mail, it does not give me the choice to choose Windows Mail in share settings. When trying to share as a PDF, Organizer shuts down completely. What do I have to do to be able to enter the Verification Code as it has not asked for it when trying to send email.

I don't think that you can, I switched from Entourage to Outlook and neither of them would so now I use Mac Mail.

DWCS6 - can't edit in Code view {subject edited by moderator}

In the split view or the design view, I can edit text anywhere on the page but when I click on the code side the text is grey and line number bar turns blue. Is there a way to turn the editing back on in the code view? Working on a PC with a document created on a mac.

No, it won't let me edit in the code at all.

Adobe Help.Error# 16822

Hi, I cannot update Adobe Help (Elements 9). Every time that I try this error is generated:"There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16822".
thank you for your help.

How to edit & organize pdf's in iBooks?

How does one edit title and authors in list view of pdf's in iBooks, and then organize them into catagories, and name catagories?

Actually, you can retitle PDFs from within iBooks on the iPad itself. See my post at
Can I edit title of PDF in iBooks?
Maybe that will help you or someone else with a similar question.

This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF? I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments.

This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF?
I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments.

Well turned out it is secured, but if you can't even highlight points, can you still refer to it as "interactive?"
The problem was that they furnished both a book and a PDF file which are identical and I am unable to understand the point. I would refer to the PDF as "flat" or "static" rather than "interactive." It seems redundant and I find the description misleading. It's also remarkably wasteful.
(Also, visualize the levels of efficiency between 1) scrolling through a PDF, highlighting certain points, and keyboarding comments vs 2) turning pages in a book, picking up a pen to highlight areas, and getting out the pen and paper to handwrite comments.)
Thanks so much for taking the time.

Content Organizer bug - PDF files does not get routed correctly if autodeclaration is on and library level default values are set

It looks like whenever one specifies Column default values at a library level then the content organizer routing goes a bit awry SPECIFICALLY FOR NON OFFICE FILES [e.g. PDF] . Below are the observations and issues
1. Column level default value set on a record library with auto declaration of records turned on. The content organizer routes the document to the library but also keeps a copy of the document in the drop off library. It does not remove it from the drop
off library. The instant we clear the default value settings at the library level of the target library the content organizer works as expected again.
2. If default value settings are specified on a column in the target library then the PDF file gets routed to the document library but all the metadata is blanked out. The copy of the file that remains in the drop off library has all the correct metadata but
the target library has blanked out metadata.
Are the 2 observations described above by design or are they bugs? If so is there any documentation that is available that proves this because this does not make logical sense and proving this to a client in the absence of any documentation is a challenge.
The problem goes away if we shift the default value to the site columns directly at the site collection level. It's just the library level defaults that the pdf files do not seem to agree with

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for responding. This can be replicated in any environment but is only replicable for a specific combination of content organizer settings . The combination of settings I am referring to can be seen in the screenshot below. If you turn off redirect
users to the drop off library for direct uploads to libraries and if you turn on sharepoint versioning then you should be able to replicate the issue. Also we are using managed metadata site columns. I simplified this use case to a custom content content type
with just 2 custom managed metadata columns and can still replicate the issue in several environments. Also note the issue does not occur if the default values are set at the site or site collection level. It only occurs if you set the column value default
at a library level. I was able to replicate this on a completely vanilla Enterprise records site collection freshly created just to test this. Also note that the issue is not that the file does not reach the destination library. The issue is the
document does not get removed from the drop off library after it is transfered to the destination library which technically should have gotten removed.

Organize PDF docs on iPad?

I have sent several PDF docs to my iPad, but I am unable to create folders to organize them into specific categories. Is it possible to do so?

no problem!
if you have an excel document on your mac or pc that you want to view only, email it to yourself from your desktop, open the email onyour iPad, and touch the attachment - it will open as a view only file so all the cell formulae etc are hidden, you just see the visible elements.
if you want something you can use to edit, i use an app called Office2 (that's a superscript "2" or 'Office squared'. I'm using the iPhone version on my iPhone and iPad, It's currently £3.49 on the iTunes app store. But I see there is now an iPad version (HD) available for a fiver.
Basically, you do exactly the same as above but when you touch the attachment in the email, if Office2 is installed there is an option at the top asking which app you want to open it in. Choose Office 2 then you can open, change, save, mail it back to yourself.
i don't use very large excel files, but it works for me!!

Refresh list of PDFs in Organizer?

I use Organizer within Acrobat to see an overview of my PDFs. When I delete PDFs using Windows Explorer and then go back to Organizer, the PDFs still show up in the listing. Is there any way to refresh/update the list of PDFs in Organizer? Also, is there any way to delete PDFs from within Organizer?
I'm using Acrobat Pro 8.1 on Windows XP. Thanks.

I agree. It would be great if Organizer would search out and check for changes in links.
It would also be great if the organizer remembered some attribute so that if the drive or location of the PDFs changes, Organizer would find the files. I just added a new hard drive and set it up in a RAID array. Then I moved 'My Documents' to the mirrored RAID array. The file structure was the same, but the drive letter changed. Organizer was lost, and did not show me my collections. It would be nice if there was an xml file or another database file where links for files could at least be manually updated, using an edior like Notepad++

Is it possible to link a photo to an organizational schedule in pdf?

Is it possible to link a photo to an organizational schedule in pdf?

It still isn't clear to me. I understand the org chart is in a PDF.
Where are the photos?
* In the same PDF?
* In a different PDF?
* In many different PDFs?
* On a web page somewhere (JPEGs etc.)?
* Somewhere else?
Do you just want the link to show the whole relevant page of the chart, or something more?
