PDF Portfolio Function

Acrobat 9 PRO. Windows XP Home SP3.
I save a lot of archiving documents for genealogy utilization. Usually for a specific item, will have a word processing (e.g., docx), pdf, image (uncompressed tif) and possibly an audio (wav) set of files. Do not wish to use a lossy compression like jpeg for images since over time may wish to re-edit the file content and maintain its original quality (also may wish to save in 14 bit form). The PDF portfolio looks like an ideal function for keeping all the file types for the item together. I built a portfolio with a small docx document and a 4MB uncompressed, tif image file (census page). The entire pdf portfolio was 2MB. I then brought the portfolio into acrobat 9 and selected native viewing (Photoshop CS4). It shows the file as TIF and 4MB in size. How did the entire portfolio file be "compressed" into 2MB and yet maintain the original uncompressed TIF file with no quality loss? The generate PDF preference was set in acrobat to the default; jpeg medium quality.

Has nobody every wanted this function? It seems to me the key function of PDF portfolio's and it is blatantly missing in the online version. Whats up?!

  • Add a search function to my online PDF Portfolio?

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to add a search function that searches for keywords within all the documents in my online PDF Portfolio, like there is in the standalone desktop version.
    I want to make the PDF's available online but a key function is for users to be able to search for various topics within the documents without reading each and every one of them.
    Best wishes,
    Thorsteinn

  • Adobe Acrobat XI: PDF Portfolios - Mouse Scroll Wheel Non-Functional

    This is a companion question to the one I just posted about the preview window, and it's much simpler.
    Put bluntly, the wheel on my mouse does not work when positioned over the list of files in a PDF portfolio. I know it's not a problem with the mouse, because the wheel does work when I use an older version of Acrobat at my office via a remote desktop connection.
    Any solutions? Is this just something new I'm going to have to live with?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    I can replicate the issue with the scroll wheel. If you click on a file within the portfolio you can use the arrow keys to navigate.

  • 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.

  • Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

    I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
    However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
    Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
    I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
    Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • Cannot copy and paste descriptions in PDF Portfolio

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 laptop.  Since a recent update I am unable to copy the description in a PDF Portfolio and paste it back.  I used to be able to copy the description; delete the file; add an updated file and then paste the description back.  Now I have to re-type the description.  I cannot event copy and paste a description from another PDF portfolio.  Can you advise why this is so and is there a workaround?

    Adobe does not report the progress of bug reports to the public, nor can I comment on the timescale for any future updates or what they may contain. Priority is of course given to the current Acrobat X Family and recently-announced Acrobat XI Family.
    Copy/paste between all the file details fields in PDF Portfolios is fully functional in Acrobat X Pro (which currently has a captive install of Flash Player) and in Acrobat XI Pro (which does not). I don't have an install of 9.5.1 to test your bug report against, but whatever is causing the issue in your case it's not an intentional change.

  • Edit Button Not Working in PDF Portfolio

    The Edit function is greyed out whenever I try to create a PDF portfolio directly from an Outlook mail folder. We are using Adobe Pro X.  Any suggestions on why this is and how to fix?  I've been able to create other portfolios and use the Edit button, but not when it is created directly from Outlook.
    Thanks!

  • Dynamic Header help in PDF Portfolio

    Need some help please, to create and load a Dynamic Header when creating a PDF Portfolio in LiveCycle ES2.  Have input parameter of a [name] and an [image file] to place in the Header.  Process flowing out of Assembler (PDF Generator).  Currently other PDFs being inserted within the Portfolio, and Navigation parameter being received ok, and setting up custom navigation.  Any help w/ creating Dynamic Header is very much appreciated.

    By "Dynamic Header" do you mean the PDF cover page, or the interactive portfolio navigator?
    If its the cover page then it should be a fairly easy thing to do.  You can create a form (XDP or PDF template) with a field for the name and one for the image.  Then you would use something like LC Forms or Form Data Integration to merge the data (image and name) with the template.
    The one thing you would have to do is to put the image and data into an XML format before you merge it with the form. That means you will need to convert the image to a base64 encoded format.  Fortunately there is a built in function for doing the conversion in a SetValue operation (its under Document Object Functions).
    If you are talking about the Navigator (portfolio shell) then it gets a bit more tricky.  The navigator is actually a Flex application and not a PDF.  You'll have to code a new one using Flash Builder, then import the resulting .nav file into your LiveCycle application. Merging the data with it is not something I've done before, but it should be possible (the LiveCycle Interactive Statement Solution Accelerator does something similar).
    If it is new navigator you need, check out some of the following links:

  • PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

    Hello,
    i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
    I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
    But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
    I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
    The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
    (Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
    sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
    Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
    Thanks for response, maikro.

  • Acrobat 9 PDF Portfolio - setting size of swf content area

    Hi,
    I added a swf file to a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and it works fine when the portfolio is opened in Reader 9, except that the swf content area is small. I want it to occupy the entire page. How/Where do I set this?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    I've got this same problem. I add a SWF that's got a width and height of 792x612px. After using the Multimedia->Insert Flash tool the movie is resized to 320x240px and doesn't look right.
    Does anyone have any wisdom or insights that can help me understand what I'm missing? I'd love to solve this problem and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info related to this functionality online.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Standard 9, missing EDIT PDF PORTFOLIO side bar after recent update

    I can't find the place to enable the view of the "EDIT PDF PORTFOLIO" sidebar.
    I've always had it, but Acrobat updated recently, and it's gone. 

    That can't be correct.
    I've had the function all along until a recent update.
    In addition, I currently can still create and manipulate files within a portfolio. 
    I lost a functionality of changing order of contents, and need that sidebar to change the layout.

  • 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.
    "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 (..)

    Do you have any suggestions how I proceed from here?
    Thank you!

  • Version needed to view pdf portfolio?

    Does anyone know what version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat is needed to view a PDF Portfolio with full functionality?

    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.

  • I have trouble creating a pdf portfolio from Outlook: the result does not have "From" or "Subject"

    Please keep trying to help me!

  • How do you set the default view of a PDF portfolio to be the Files mode?

    I can set my personal view of portfolios to that, but if another user opens it, it shows the preview mode. It needs to be accessible, and I read Files mode is the only way. We want to load a PDF portfolio onto our internet for anyone to view, but it needs to open in the Files mode. Thanks

    I have done this.
    Have a hidden input field on form  <input name="ZoneExpiry" id="ExpiryDate" />
    Then have a function as follows:
    var dat=new Date();
                                                      dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 365);
                                                      var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
                                                      var pretty = dat.getDate() + "-" + monthname[dat.getMonth()] + "-" + dat.getFullYear();   
                                                      jQuery("#ExpiryDate").val(pretty);
    Hope this helps.
