PDF Portfolio Layout

In Pro 9, I have lost the Layout button and function in the Portfolio. Does anyone know how to restore?

I thought so. I followed the instructions in a tutorial I saw on Acrobatusers.com. I updated the config.xml, navigator.xml, and the assets (arrows, background), then used WinZip to open an existing .nav file as an archive and swap out the files I changed. Maybe the mimetype file is getting compressed when I close WinZip? Is there another/better way to create the .nav file?

About PDF Portfolio layouts in Acrobat X

I would like to know if Adobe would release layout that is less cost CPU?
I found myself that the latest PDF portfolio is TOO sophisticated for my computer + I need / use more simple PDF Portfolio layout which release in version 8 & 9, especially "• List with File Preview: Adds quick previews to List View "
OR
could someone tell me how could I install the layouts of ver. 9 into ver. X?
Thanks

At this time I can't say if there'll be "in-product" additional layouts, but we gained some extras for Acrobat 9 in the mid-cycle patch and there's no reason why the same thing can't happen again.
AcrobatUsers.com is also hosting a Portfolio Exchange where users can contribute their own templates, layouts and themes. Right now the content is for Acrobat 9 only (as the Acrobat X SDK has only been out for a couple of weeks, developers haven't had the time to get to grips with it yet) - however in the months to come you can expect a lot of Acrobat X content to be added, some of which will come from the programmers at Adobe.
As to the speed of display updates in edit mode - I agree it's more CPU-intensive than it was in Acrobat 9, and that's an unfortunate consequence of the complexity of the new navigators. As you've already seen it only affects the edit stage, as once the portfolio is saved, displaying and reading it is much faster in Acrobat X and Reader X.

PDF Portfolio Layouts - How?

I have Acrobat 9.0.0 and I'm trying to create a PDF Portfolio, but I am unable to change the layout. Every internet search I have found, shows the Layout toolbar automatically appearing, but I don't have that toolbar. I don't if my version doesn't allow it or I just don't know how to find the toolbar.
Please help!

So you don't see this menu in Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Pro XI?

Trouble adding a custom PDF Portfolio layout to Acrobat 9

I asked this question over in the Acrobat Windows and Mac forums, but no luck. I think I was in the wrong place...anyways...apologies for cross-posting, but I'm stuck and up against a deadline!
I've developed a custom navigator for an Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Portfolio. However, I’m having trouble getting it to show up as a layout option when I open Acrobat to create a PDF portfolio. The basic layouts are there, but I can't find my layout or the "other layouts" category.
I've tried this in both Windows and Mac environments on two different computers. In Windows, I tried installing the .nav file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9\Navigators directory; on Mac, I tried both /Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Navigators/ and Applications/Acrobat 9 Pro/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Navigators/ directories. I've shut down Acrobat and reopened the application, as well as restarted my computer. I still can't get the new navigator to show up.
Is there perhaps a plug-in or something from the SDK that I need to install into Acrobat first in order for my custom .nav to show up? I'm sure it's something simple and obvious that I'm overlooking - but I haven't been able to figure out what. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

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 view in Adobe reader

Hi,
I recently created a PDF portfolio for a co-worker using Acrobat 9.0 Pro. I used the Grid with File Preview layout and added a header that appears right above the grid. Everything works well except that when my co-worker opens the PDF portfolio in Adobe Reader, I think it's 9.0, the preview pane takes up most of the screen so that the grid and header are barely visible. Of course, all my co-worker has to do is move the divider over to the right so that the divider is around the middle of the screen, then he can clearly see the complete grid along with the header.
Is there anyway to make my PDF portfolio open up in Reader so that the dividing line is right in the middle between the grid and preview pane so that the grid and header are clearly visible without having to move the divider? Also, I encountered the same problem when I tried to use a welcome window. In Acrobat 9.0, the welcome window is dead center over the grid and the preview pane is invisible unless I click to proceed. However, when I open the PDF portfolio in Reader, the welcome window only appears in the grid section and again, the gird section is mostly covered up by the preview pane.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Operating system? Reader version? Local or online files?

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

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

3D file not shown in PDF portfolio

I created a 3D pdf, and the model shows up fine in this file. But when I insert this pdf into a PDF portfolio (using Acrobat X), it resuls in a blank file with nothing visible?! How can I fix this problem?

In Acrobat X there is only one way to create a 3D PDF file, so without know your workflow it's difficult to comment.
The cards in Acrobat X PDF Portfolios never show activated Rich Media content, only the poster image for the annotation. If there's no poster image, you will just see a blank space - the thing you see on the card isn't the PDF at all, it's an image snapshot rendered from the PDF, as is used to display the page thumbnails on the left sidebar.
In Acrobat X, double-clicking on a card in layout mode will open the preview mode of the same card (bigger card against a black background, but still showing just the snapshot image). Double-clicking on that preview will finally open the file, or you can right-click on the card in layout mode to get there a bit faster. With the standard Acrobat X Portfolio layouts, interactive content, forms, etc. will only activate when the PDF is running in its own window, and not when it's being displayed as part of the Portfolio. In Acrobat 9, we didn't have preview mode, so double-clicking on a card in layout mode did actually open the file and activate the content straight away, in the same window (with the black Portfolio toolbar along the top to take you back to layout mode). In Acrobat X it doesn't.

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?

Viewing PDF Portfolio using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in Sharepoint Foundation 2013

When opening a PDF Portfolio, created using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 the pages are blank in the default Layout view but you can see the contents in File view. How do we correct that so the files appear in both views? Local IT stated it is an ADOBE problem.

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.

PDF Portfolio Displays Previous PDF

I am having an issue on multiple computers running Windows 7, 32-bit SP1 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 Pro. After creating a PDF portfolio with multiple PDF documents within it, and using the Grid layout I am able to see the individual PDF documents without any problem. Each of the documents contained within the portfolio has between 5-10 pages originally created from Excel 2010. If I open Document1 for example and scroll through the pages, everything looks just fine. If I then close that document and open Document2 and start scrolling, page 2 from Document1 will display even though the title of the document that is being viewed is Document2. It seems as though Acrobat is remembering or caching the previous document that was viewed and not closing it or something. If I then open document 6 for example and start scrolling, page 2 from Document2 will then display. This seems to happen only when using the Grid layout. If I scroll all the way to the bottom of the document and then back to the top, the correct pages then display and “refresh”. Has anyone else had this happen when using the Grid layout in a Portfolio? Any ideas on how to correct this?

Not seen that effect, but it may be cured by turning off the local page cache (preferences > page display) and/or 2D hardware acceleration. If either of those help, please file a bug report.

PDF Portfolio Templates

The instructions given with this software download don't match the real options available to me "File\Create.......
Instructions:
To Install Your PDF Portfolio
To install a custom layout, select File > Create > PDF Portfolio. In the “Create PDF Portfolio” dialog box, click Import Custom Layout. Navigate to the custom layout file on your computer and select Open. Layout files have a .nav extension. The layout appears in the Portfolio Layouts list, where you can select it. Imported layouts are permanently added to the Custom Layouts section of the Portfolio Layouts panel.
There is no File\Create\Create PDF Portfolio"
how can I overcome this ?

So you don't see this menu in Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Pro XI?

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.
