PDF Portfolio, email style

Hello,
My boss has an easier time working with PDF portfolios when they are laid out in the way that portfolios appear after you have saved emails from Outlook (eg: list of files at the top with a full preview underneath), as opposed to the default layout when you create a portfolio (eg: with the thumbnails at the bottom and a small preview above). Is there a way to arrive at the email style format without having saved the files from Outlook? Thank you.

hope that helps

How do I create a pdf portfolio from multiple .msg email files including all attachments in a single step process?

I have tried creating the portfolio from Outlook directly, but only the first email is viewable in the portfolio including a hyperlink to the attachment (but the attachment is missing otherwise). This seems to be a setting issue, but I have had no luck with finding any setting options to change this.
I have also tried to create a portfolio from my desktop but when opening the portfolio, nothing shows up as if it didn't take the .msg files.
The obvious option of creating a pdf from each individual email and combining it with the pdf attachment would take forever and is unrealistic as the emails are in thousands.
Thanks for your time and help on this issue!

Hey Bob%20Sacks,
Could you please specify what version of Acrobat are you using.
You can go to Preferences under Adobe PDF option in the menu bar and choose 'Include all attachments' option under Attachments label.
Then, select the desired messages in Outlook and create a PDF portfolio by right-clicking and choosing Convert to Adobe PDF option from the context menu.
Now, open the portfolio and it will appear as shown in the screenshot below:
You can view all your files by clicking on the navigation arrows on the left-hand side.

Can I add a password to a PDF portfolio created from multiple emails?

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can add a password to a PDF portfolio that I created by converting several emails into a PDF?
Thanks in advance for your invaluable help!
-Matt

When viewing a Portfolio the classic Tools Pane is not visible, so you cannot apply security in the usual way.
Instead, open the properties dialog (menu > File > Portfolio Properties) and select the Security tab. Change the dropdown field to "password security" and the dialog box will appear to enter the permissions information.

Workaround to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio?

Hello All,
We use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6.
Our office will not update to Acrobat X until CS6 becomes available for purchase.
We run Office 2010 Pro 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
We need to archive email in a way that can be sorted in a PDF Portfolio by date or attachments to email.
I wrote VBA code to save email from an entire folder or several selected folders as .HTML files with the same folder structure on disk as was in Outlook. This works for sorting by date of email, but it does not allow for the attachments to stay attached to the email.
I thought about downgrading Acrobat to 9.0, but I am unsure if this is possible.
Has anyone found a way to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio which would allow sorting by which email have attachments?
Thanks,
edsager
P.S. A few extra steps would definitely add more benefit than cost.

To resolve error 0x8004010F , identify the current location of your default Outlook data file, and then create a new Outlook profile.
Step 1- Locate the default Outlook data file
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, click Mail.
In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Show Profiles.
Select your current Outlook profile, and then click Properties.
In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Data Files.
Select the Data Files tab in the Account Settings dialog box, and then note the name and location of the default data file for your profile (a check mark will denote the default data file).
Click Close.
Step 2 - Create a new Outlook profile
Step 3 - Configure your new Outlook profile as the default profile

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.

How to: Flatten Adobe PDF Portfolio containing email and attachments

How do you flatten an Adobe PDF Portfolio in Adobe XI Pro. The Portfolio contains emails with various attachments. I need to produce a single PDF with all emails and attachments as "images/pages" (as they would appear when printed). Attachments need to follow their corresponding email in order. All links, metadata, etc. will be stripped out and various text redactions applied to the final PDF.

I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

Archiving email into PDF portfolio

I'm trying to set-up for archiving emails from my Outlook 2007 (Win) to one or more PDF Portfolios. I have Acrobat Pto XI v. 11.0.3 I made a test portfolio from a small number of emails and it works great-- fully sortable and easy to do-- the Adobe TV how to was very helpful. However, I'm bringing in a folder of received email and a folder of sent email, and the directory listing of emails at the top includes the "From" field, but not the "To" field, so for all of my sent emails there is no useful info (they're all from me). How can I make the portfolio display the "To" field, as well? I know that the info is in there because I can filter on the "To" field. One other question, since I plan to use this solution, my plan is to bring a large number of emails in, many with large attachments--do I need to be concerned about limitations on number of emails or total file size for each portfolio?
Thank you.

If you go to the top of the table listing in the Outlook Portfolio and right-click, you can turn on the To: column.

Merging/Combining email PDF Portfolios

I am creating a few PDF portfolios with Acrobat Pro 9 and Outlook 2003 to archive my email. I have a few files because it seems like there's a limit on the number of email it will convert at one time(other thread). I have two separate PDF portfolios that nicely present my email with From/Subject/Date/etc columns. I would like to merge my email portfolio files together with the goal of creating one large PDF with all my email. I tried the Modify/Add Files option while one PDF portfolio file is open but rather than integrating the folder structure it just added the second PDF portfolio as a single line item which opens independently.
I know there is an option during the creation of the PDF portfolio in Outlook to "Append to existing PDF" which does what I want but can I do it after the fact now that I have several PDF's already created?
Thank You

Given the way pdf files are structured it's no wonder you are having problems.
At the end of a pdf file there's a reference to the start of the so called xref table given as the byte offset from the start of the file. In the xref table theres byte references to the individual blocks of the pdf file. If you concanate pdf files these byte offsets no longer points to what they are supposed to point to.
To complicate matters there's also linearized pdf files with a slightly different format, where a so-called "hint table" is placed near the start of the pdf file, giving access to the first page of the document before the full document is retrived.
It's a bit puzzling that you see the last file added to the large pdf. One would assume that you would get an error message or garbled data. Maybe your pdf viewer has smart error handling. What viewer are you using?
The pdf format is built to allow you to add pages to a pdf file by adding data to the pdf file. This is what you should look into doing.
Basically you will have to add a reference table at the end of the pdf with references to the various xref tables. Contact me if you want further help with this.

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

PDF portfolio - how do i update or replace pdf files in portfolio

I created a pdf portfolio using the map feature where i drag the pdf's onto the image.
But now, after i have all the pdf's in the portfolio, i want to replace/update some of the pdf files.
I can't see an option anywhere to do this?
Is it possible???
Thanks

In the Find window (Ctrl+F) there's an option to replace the searched text.
This is in Acrobat XI, and there's no Replace All-function.

Header and Welcome disappearing in PDF Portfolio

Good day,
The Header and Welcome pages disappear in my PDF Portfolio after saving and closing. It appears to be related to the most recent update, as I don't remember having this issue before. If I create the document from scratch and save, it appears on the first open; however, if I edit that document the problem repeats itself. These Portfolios will need to be updated on a fairly regular basis, and I would prefer not to have to constantly re-create them if possible.
I tried the trial of X (had heard bad things), but it doesn't have the same choices for layout styles and the file size has increased dramatically from 9 to X, likely related to upgraded look and feel (which feels cartoonish to me).
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Version 9.4.3 or X, if you can provide a source for layouts that allows a file preview.
Thanks,
Chelsea

Hi Chelsea,
This may be a known bug. See thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/3491158#3491158 , specifically the scenario/workaround Josh_Corey posted on March 7th at 6pm.
Does that resolve the issue?

Is there any way to print multiple attachments from an Adobe PDF Portfolio without having to open each attachent individually?

We have a large PDF Portfolio with many attachments and would like to print those items all at once without opening every single attachment. I would think think that this is possible considering I took the files from outlook 2003 and you are able to print an email and its attachments in that program. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

Portfolios only support the printing of PDF files (more specifically, PDF files whose security permissions allow printing). You can print all PDF files in a Portfolio without opening them all simply by opening the Portfolio and clicking on the print button in the Portfolio toolbar. If desired, you can also limit it to a selection of PDF files.
Unfortunately non-PDF files will need to be opened and printed individually from their respective apps.

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.

Do you have any suggestions how I proceed from here?
