Pdf portfolio document preview issue

I'm creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat XI and have run into a problem when using grid view. When viewing the pdf portfolio on my 15" laptop, the document preview is cropped in both the thumbnail and larger preview. But when I view the pdf portfolio on a larger monitor, both previews are fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue? Thanks so much for reading.

Hi Vikrantt,
I'm using Acrobat 11.0.07. Any other ideas on how I can solve this problem? Thank you.

Does Office Web Apps 2013 supports PDF Portfolio Documents

Hi Team,
Could you please let me know whether office web apps supports Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolios (Preview PDF portfolio files through OWA 2013 in SharePoint 2013).
Thanks!
Bharat
Thanks! Palani K

Hi Bharat,
Quote from the link you provided:
The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio. Depending on the circumstances,
PDF Portfolios offer several advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF.
Since the issue is related to third party product, I'd recommend you also contact their support engineer for more sufficient resource and assistance.
There is not many articles as I could find that talk about pdf portfolio in Office Web App, here is a similar thread:

Adobe Acrobat XI: PDF Portfolios - Nonfunctional Preview Window

Good afternoon, all.
I'm running AA XI Pro on a Dell Inspiron 1764 laptop. Win7/64-bit platform.
My question focuses on the creation and viewing of PDF portfolios created from converted email.
The conversion itself seems to work fine. I select the desired email(s) in Outlook 2013, give the "create" or "append" command (depending on whether the target portfolio is a new or existing one), and the portfolio is created. However, when the portfolio window first opens, it does not give me a list of all the emails I have combined into that file. It shows only a blank screen, with a preview opened at the bottom of my screen for one of the email messages. When I click on either the "Layout" or "Files" button (at the top of the screen), it does finally show the running list of individual emails that have been merged into the portfolio. But then the preview window does not change to reflect the different, individual emails on which I am single-clicking above. It just stays frozen on the default email preview it selected when I first created/opened the portfolio file.
As I continue navigating around the portfolio, the problem will occasionally relent ... but only a little. And it's utterly arbitrary. Sometimes a single-click on one of the listed emails above will generate a preview window below. Sometimes it won't. Sometimes the individual email that worked just moments ago won't give the same preview when I click on it again.
What on earth is the deal with that? I've never seen this before, and I've worked with PDF portfolios since Adobe first engineered them.
Regards,
Tom

Tom, I just tried and can't seem to duplicate your issue at all. It sounds like a resource issue with the computer, have you tried to open the portfolio with just Acrobat running? How much ram do you have?
Are you able to open the portfolio on another computer without issues?
I also have been using portfolios regularly for years, including with Outlook, and haven't run across the problem you describe.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro: Create PDF Portfolio not previewing Word docs

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Word documents won't preview on an Adobe PDF Portfolio, while other Office documents (Excel, PowerPoint, etc) will. It only shows a Word icon on the preview and you have to double-click the file to open it on actual word. This is not the way Acrobat is supposed to behave.
NOTE: Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 (latest version) and Office 2010 Suite w/ SP1 installed.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a PDF Portfolio
2. Add Word (.doc, .docx) files to the Portfolio
3. Click on Preview and you will see a Word icon instead of a thumbnail preview.
Results:
You will see a word icon
Expected results:
A thumbnail preview of the document like it happens with Excel, PowerPoint, etc...
Can you guys reproduce this error? What do you think?

Here is what I am talking about...
Those files should be previewed and not just display a thumbnail with a Word icon.

PDF display and preview issue : NWDS 7.1 SP 05 + ALD 7.1

Hi All
I am creating a webdynpro java application in NWDS 7.1 SP 05. This application has an interactive form ui element. The livecycle designer version is 7.1 and reader versions tried are 8 and 9.
The issue is that the pdf preview in NWDS is blank and also I am getting blank white space instead of the form when i deploy the application on a browser.
I have used NWDS 7.1, SP05 + ALD 7.1 combination on another system and there i can see the form in NWDS pdf preview.
I am completely stuck, please let me know of any way out.
Thanks
Lisha

I can't give a specific response, but if possible, upgrade to LCD 8.0 - it is much smoother to use than 7.1.
I almost pulled out all my hair working with 7.1

Adobe 9 - PDF Portfolios - Document Management System

I am having a problem with PDF porfolio's not being content searchable in Hummingbird document management system. I'm not sure if it's Adobe or Hummingbird.
All of our searches have to come from the document management system, and if the document is a stand-alone PDF - the search will pull from it's contents, however if the PDF is within a portfolio, the content will not come up within the search.
Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Just an observation. Portfolios can be "searchable".
A Catalog index of Portfolios within a directory lets Acrobat's advanced Search pull from the PDFs that are the attached files that comprise a Portfolio.
Just a guess but the "wrapper" PDF with the Flash UI that is the Portfolio may be precluding your CMS's indexing/search from working.
Be well...

Enterprise Portal document preview issue

Greetings,
When viewing a document via the preview function provided by the context menu on the Enterprise Portal on a users laptop, the preview is too small. When I do the same thing on my desktop screen, the preview is adequate because I have a different sized screen. Please advise if/how this can be rectified so that the preview is adequate on any type of screen.
Regards,
Keith

Keith,
I guess you could try changing the resolution on the laptop and checking the preview.
Cheers!

PDF Portfolio only showing the first 32 pdf files in it.

Hello,
I have a pdf portfolio document which contains about 150 pdf-files. Opening this portfolio in Adobe Reader X on my iMac shows me perfectly all 150 files, no problems at all.
After installing Adobe Reader on my new iPad (3rd generation), synchronising the portfolio with iTunes, then for some strange reason, I can only see the 32 first files in that same portfolio.
I synced the portfolio to my iPhone4 and got the same problem there viewing it with Adobe Reader X (only 32 first files listed).
Later on today, I installed GoodReader on the iPad : opening the same portfolio gives me a splash-screen, saying that I have to "use Adobe Reader X for best experience"... I think this is
the build-in first page where some discussion in forums handle about... However after using "Manage Files" in GoodReader and selecting the portfolio, it extracted a folder containing all 150 files... nice job!!
However, I would like to use Adobe Reader X for this (for multiple reasons...).
Anybody experiencing same problem ? Some hints ? All ideas appreciated.
Kind regards
Filip

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.

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.

Export Index from PDF Portfolio

I need to compare two large PDF Portfolio documents. From what I can tell, there is currently no third party software around that will do this so I'm trying to figure out a way around it. Each Portfolio that I'm working with has over a thousand email messages exported from Outlook and the corresponding attachments. I know that an "Index" was created when I exported the messages because I can see the pane that lists all the typical details in an index with sortable column headers (i.e., From, Subject, Date, Size, etc...). I'm trying to figure out a way to export only this indexed information into a .csv or other delimited file so I can create unique IDs and compare the documents using Excel. From what I've read, the "Edit" button is one way to try this but for some reason, when Outlook converts messages to a PDF Portfolio, it also removes the ability to use the "Edit" tool. Does anyone know of a way to export just the index information or if there's a hidden index file somewhere? Please let me know.
Thanks,

You are correct that the Portfolios created by the mail client plugins are not editable. They use a special layout which does not exist as an editable master layout in Acrobat.
It's possible to export the rows of data from the 'details' view using JavaScript, but those fields don't contain the body of the message so you will only get the headers (to, from, date, etc.). If this is all you need, follow these instructions:
Switch to the Cover Sheet view from the View > Portfolio menu
Open the javaScript console (Ctrl-J) and clear it with the trashcan icon
Paste in the code which follows, select it all, then press Ctrl+Enter to execute it.
// code follows
var d = this.dataObjects;
var csv = '';
    if (d) {
    cfl = this.collection.fields.length;
    tx_cols = new Array();
    tx_names = new Array();
    for (i = 0; i < cfl; i++) {
      tx_cols.push(this.collection.fields[i].text);
      tx_names.push(this.collection.fields[i].name);
        csv = tx_cols.join() + "\r\n";
        for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++) {
      tx_data = new Array();
      for (var r = 0; r < cfl; r++) {
        tx_data.push(d[i].getFieldValue(tx_names[r]));
      csv += tx_data.join() + "\r\n";
    this.createDataObject({cName:"EmailData.csv", cValue:csv,cMIMEType:'text/csv'});
    this.exportDataObject("EmailData.csv");
    this.removeDataObject("EmailData.csv");

Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages

I have created a PDF portfolio using the “Grid” template in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. The Portfolio contains three pdf files. I am getting the following problem when I open the pdf Portfolio in Adobe Reader X and XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Open the PDF portfolio
Click on pdf3
Preview mode displays the correct document and pages.
Close the preview of pdf3
Click on pdf2
Preview mode displays pages from pdf3,not pdf2 (see screenshot below).
Some observations:
If pdf1 has two pages, and pdf2 has ten pages, pdf2’s preview contains pdf 1 (pages 1-2) and then pdf2 (pages 3-10).
If I continue to open pdfs the preview contains pages from all the pdfs I have opened in the portfolio (this depends on how many pages the document I am currently previewing has). It is not just caching the last pdf opened.
Preview mode always displays the correct NUMBER of pages (i.e., if there are ten pages in a pdf, there will be ten pages in the preview. They will just be the wrong pages).
Turning off local page cache (preferences > page display) does not fix the problem.
Adobe Reader is up-to-date and Flash is up-to-date. I have replicated the problem on different computers, and in Adobe Reader X and XI, and Pro XI. I have also created muliple pdf portfolios from scratch to confirm the pdf portfolio itself wasn't corrupt.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Users are getting very confused when their preview shows them a completely different document.
Thanks for any help

We have the same problem. Everything's up to date. Adobe needs to address this issue!! The portfolio feature is a great idea, but this glitch basically ruins it. If you come by this page with the same problem, make sure you leave a reply. Maybe Adobe will actually pay attention if there are enough complaints.

PDF portfolio in browser display issues

PDF Portfolio created in Acro Pro 9 with layout of grid/preview
PCs using IE 8 to view portfolio in web broswer
When one loads the portfolio, the portfolio loads in IE8 Ok BUT it does not display as intended as the browser add-in always starts in 'layout' view rather than 'File' view. This means that the grid of all the PDFs in the portfolio are not shown. The file list appears if you select 'File' view and this is an OK compromise.
Is there any way to make the browser view load as 'file' rather than 'layout'? - I can't find an option in Acro Pro for this.
Portfolio opens as intended if we turn off the view in browser option but I need to keep that option ticked for other applications.
thanks
Julian

Help needed to view documents send in .pdf portfolio - only gray screen visible

Various clients are complaining that they are unable to view/retrieve documents I have forwarded in .pdf portfolio format. All they see is a blank - grey - screen. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

Make sure they are opening the files in Adobe Reader or Acrobat only, or in Internet Explorer using one of those. Make sure you understand the various ways they might open the file without using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, such as in FireFox, Chrome or Safari, or Preview on a Mac. Make sure they have a sufficiently up to date copy of Reader/Acrobat too.

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.
