PDF Portfolio bug with acroread 9.4.2 Linux update

Since updating adobe reader on Linux to 9.4.2, when I open a PDF portfolio created with Acrobat for Windows 9.4.2, the initial page is completely blank. It should show a thumbnail of the first page of each file in the portfolio, and this initial page still displays correctly when the portfolio is opened in the 9.4.2 Reader for Windows. I have two separate Linux machines, one running Ubuntu x84 and the other running Ubuntu amd64, and they both have the problem.
Versions prior to 9.4.2 did not have this problem.
A small PDF portfolio that shows the problem is at http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/bikestuff/SmokersGap.pdf. Initial page displays fine on Windows, doesn't on Linux.

That's a complete PITA, then. Our local government, for example, commonly
puts up PDF portfolios on their web site which consist of scans of
multiple written responses to planning submissions bundled together into a
PDF portfolio. Without the thumbnails of each contained PDF in the
portfolio, it is impossible read anything other than the first PDF in the
portfolio. Have a look for example, at
http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/22343/DV307_Submissions_1-20_1.37 MB.pdf.
All submissions in this portfolio can be accessed without any problem
using Reader 9.4.3 for Windows, but with Reader 9.4.3 for Linux, only the
first submission in the document can be accessed.
There is no AR9.4.3 for Linux: do you mean AR9.4.2?
Anyhow my recommendation under Linux would be to stick with AR9.3.4.
I've just checked at my end and it has no problem with your
sample portfolio.

PDF Portfolio combatibility with apple and accessibility

Our office thought PDF portfolios were the way to go for our large manuals that we want available online for readers to view and print. We are running into many problems, however.
1. Are PDF portfolios truly accessible to screen readers? I set the preference to open in files mode; however, when I publish the PDF portfolio to our web, a coworker opened it into preview mode.
2. Are PDF portfolios compatible with apple products? Another coworker opened the portfolio off our web, and it only showed the first PDF in the portfolio. There were no options to see others or search or anything.
I've been trying to research online, but I am getting nowhere. Basically what I've found was that the user needs to have Adobe Reader installed (on their iPad, Mac, iPhone, etc.) in order to view. It says to save the setting to open all portfolios in files mode, but that does not seem to carry with the portfolio - just the user's computer who changed the setting.

PDF Portfolio Navigator with horizontal tab layout

Hello, Experts
         I am trying to create a PDF Portfolios with horizontal tab layout structure;
         several .NET libraries allowed me to create PDF files with thumbnail layout, but, in order to populate a horizontal tab
         layout, it seems, I would need to create a custom PDF navigator and import it into PDF Portfolio prior to inserting PDF file components ?
        preinstalled navigators look great, but I just need a simple horizontal tab view, where each tab only contains file's name and nothing else;
         buy clicking on each tab - corresponding file would be activated in the viewer
       is there any library of predesigned navigators that I can use ?
        is there any way to extract navigator from one and import it into another PDF portfolio ?
       would I need to use Flash or can this be done via .NET ?
Best Regards,
-Alex

tried to install Portfolio SDK
can't see the Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder ( 4.6 )
The plugins have been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
The NavigatorSupport folder has been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse and ( just in case ) to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\

PDF portfolio search not working in Reader for Linux

I have a PDF portfolio with embedded index created using Acrobat 9.5.5 running on Windows 7. I can search this portfolio without any problem using the windows versions of Acrobat 9.5.5 or Reader 11.0.4, but when I try any of the same searches using Reader 9.5.5 for Unix on Ubuntu 13.10, the searchs never terminate. The search window appears, but the spinning circle at top right of the search window just keeps spinning and no results ever appear. I've left it for half an hour without any results appearing. The same searches on Windows complete in a few seconds.
The portfolio in question is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0rzh9t1oo0vx2ib/lilydoc-2.17.29.pdf (it's created from the various PDF manuals that make up the Lilypond documentation).

Hmm. Sounds like something went wrong with the links. Are they spelled out (using http://www....etc) or are they hyperlinks? If they are spelled out, you could have your version of Reader set to recognize links and they may not (Edit>Preferences>General>Basic tools - Create links from URLs).
To create links in ID, highlight the text, go to your hyperlinks pallet and in the drop-down select "New link" and fill in the appropriate information. Then when you export it to PDF from ID, in the "General" settings section under "include" select "Hyperlinks".
There are other options you may want to be aware of but that's better asked about in the ID forum.

CS4 6.0 pdf export bug with long tables and graphics

I discovered this bug in the CS4 trial, can anyone confirm that:
1. start a new document having at least two pages
2. insert one table spanning over both pages, having at least one headline
3. insert some graphic into the headline
4. right click the graphics element / anchored object / options
5. set position to user defined
6. check that the object is in the printable area of all pages
7. export this into a pdf
8. notice the graphics object is present on the first page ONLY while in the indd file it is correctly repeated on ALL pages!
I think that is a true bug, is it?

I believe that it is indeed a bug. I've seen it reported here before, if memory serves.

-nodisplay bug with Sun Studio 10 for Linux installer

I'm currently trying to install a trial Sun Studio 10 for Linux on a Fedora Core 3 box. I want the installer to run via the command line, so I use "./installer -nodisplay", but I get the following error message:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/pacey/SS10/.install/jvm_1.4.2/j2re1.4.2_06/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libXp is part of the X window system, but I've specified -nodisplay. A non-graphics option shouldn't be trying to load graphics libraries - looks like a bug. Anyway, as I don't have version 6 of that lib on my system, I'm stalled on this. Any suggestions?

Create Folder with DDX in PDF Portfolio or add files to Folder

can I create folders in a PDF file same as we do with the Adobe Acrobat Portfolio using only DDX? I tried using PackageFiles, but had no results.

The Assembler service in LiveCycle ES (8.2) does not provide a way to specify folders within a PDF portfolio.
For more information about PDF portfolio capabilities in LiveCycle 8.2, see Using Assembler to Create PDF Portfolios.

How do I create a single PDF Portfolio from an Outlook 2011 email with multiple non-pdf attachments?

How do I create a single PDF Portfolio from an Outlook 2011 email with multiple non-pdf attachments?
Email has 3 attachments--some are not pdf. I'd like all three converted into pdf files along with the email itself, and all appear in the email's pdf portfolio.

I would also like an answer to this question.
I am trying to convert an Outlook email to a PDF, then all attachment are appended to the PDF as pages instead of attachments.

Split PDF portfolio, with a catch however

What I have:
One PDF portfolio containing multiple PDF files with a varying number of pages
What I am trying to achieve:
Split or disassemble the PDF portfolio into single PDF files (not into single pages!)
The problem:
I created the PDF portfolio using outlook to make a backup of an inbox. Therefore every PDF file that is in the portfolio is a PDF printout of an email. And this is where it becomes problematic for me as some emails had the the same subject. As a result there are numerous PDF files in the portfolio that have the same file name. This leads to a finder (or explorer, depending on the operating system,) conflict when I am using the export function of Acrobat Reader and I am only offered the two following choices: skip (the export of this file) or overwrite (the other PDF file with the same name). I am not offered to "keep both". As I have several portfolios of this type and each contain hundreds of emails the extent of this problem is too big to be fixed manually. I am therefore looking for an automated solution to this problem.
Tech Specs:
Software: Adobe Reader 11.0.10
Operating system: OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
I also have access to a PC running Windows 7.
Thank you!

Thank you @sukritd15 @CtDave!
I just finished activating my copy of Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro which I bought in the meantime. Unfortunately the problem persists.

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.

Initial View issues with PDF portfolio

I am creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat 10.1.1. The layout is Freeform, when I save it and email it to clients, it never opens to the same size, depending on their screen size or window size, it either stretches or squeezes the file folders and the become out of place (and cover up other things). Is there a way to set the properties of the pdf portfolio so that it always opens up to a certain size? there for no matter what size the monitor is my clients use, it will open to how its designed? I know you can set up pdfs to open up at 100%, 500%, fit to window, actual size, etc.. but I want to take those properties and apply it to the pdf portfolio..
Thanks

Hi "the Conditioner",
For a FreeForm portfolio you can set the default size of the icons ("cards").
You may want to play around with the options to see what works best for you.
To change the size of the cards, do the following:
1. Open the portfolio.
2. Ensure you are in "Layout" mode. You can click the "Layout" button to do so.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. On the upper right menu, click Layout to bring up the Layout panel.
5. At the very bottom of the Layout panel is the "Portfolio Properties".
6. Change the "Card Size".
Your choices are Small, Medium, Large and Auto-Size.
7. Save the portfolio. Close the portfolio (don't close Acrobat).
Resize the Acrobat window. Open the portfolio (File > Open or from the recent files list) and see how it looks in different size windows.
Hope this helps,
Charlene

Acrobat 9 PDF portfolios with the new version of Reader

We have a somewhat large PDF portfolio with a few hundred documents in it that was created with Acrobat 9 a few years ago. It worked great with Reader 9 and was fast, etc. Since the updates to Reader X and XI, the portfolio is sluggish and very slow to use. If I install Reader 9 back onto my system, it works great... The propblem is our IT department wont do this globally since they have identified security issues with Reader 9. Are there any fixes for this problem???

Creating a PDF Portfolio with a side menu

Hi!
Is there an easy way to create a PDF portfolio with a side menu using Acrobat X?
This was a feature in earlier versions. I am trying to make a large portfolio, and it is hard to navigate without some kind of menu.
Thanks,
Gregory

Make a PDF Portfolio with Chapters work on an iPad

Hi, I have created a PDF Portfolio document for iPad. I built the document in InDesign as a Digital Publication (iPad 768x1024,vertical only). The portfolio contains a number of chapters with each chapter containing a number of pages. I’ve built navigation hyperlinks into the PDF file in Acrobat DC. The PDF Portfolio file works perfectly on desktop computers and I am able to view all chapter and pages, but when I try to open it on an iPad I just get directed to ‘download Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later’. I’ve tried opening it on 3 different iPads that are all running the latest version of Acrobat DC Reader and get the same message every time.
I tried making a second version of the file without the combining the chapters into a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat DC, just running all of the pages together in a single file, with hyperlinks on the contents page and it works perfectly on the iPad. So how can I get it to work on an iPad as a Portfolio with Chapters, can you give me any advice?

Hi,
I presume that "chapters" are individual PDF documents that are contained in your PDF Portfolio.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS and Android) support the hyperlink to jump to a page view within the same PDF document or open a web page (http://... or https://...). Unfortunately, the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps do not support the hyperlink to open a different PDF document (regardless of whether it is included in a Portfolio or not).
Please note that most mobile PDF viewers for iOS and Android do not support Portfolios.
To make your PDF document compatible with any PDF viewers on desktop computers and mobile devices, I'd recommend the second version - "all of the pages together in a single file with hyperlinks".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

How do I correct a problem with PDF Portfolio Links

Problem with links.
Converting a page from MSWord to PDF is presenting problems:
I have changed preferences to deselect the Convert Word Bookmarks option;
The straight conversion retains the links;
Adding the file to PDF portfolio breaks the latest link;
Using the link tool and go to page option tries to open the page (file) but I receive instruction to download Acrobat Reader 9 (I already have the latest reader installed (9.3), have checked it and repaired it);
Attempting to download the Reader (I cannot move on – the page is full screen and will not be minimised) the download is blocked at the end.
I have rebuilt the Portfolio from scratch but the problem persists.
I have run a full (extended) bench test on all my hardware – no significant problems found.
MSWord docx. saved in html and converted back to MSword
New doc converted to PDF with minimum preferences
Converted doc copied to portfolio
No change
Portfolio opened in PDF reader
No Change
Acrobat 9.3 uninstalled and replaced with original Acrobat 9
No Change
PDF Printer driver checked – OK
Full virus scan run
The Portfolio updating from MSWord is a procedure which I have repeated many times in the past without any problem.
I cannot move forward, all attempts to solve the problem have failed.
