PDF Portfolio not allowing a period [.] to be typed

I am working on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 & using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.1).
I am trying to create a PDF portfolio consisting of a number of other PDF's of catalog work I have done for clients.
Everything is working fine other than when trying to edit the header of the PDF Portfolio. I have selected the "Logo & Structured Text" option for the header. This includes an area for your URL & Email. Though no matter what I do I cannot type a period in the URL or Email. For that matter, no field in the header will allow me to enter a period. It acts like a backspace/delete button.
All other characters seem to be working in the header & the pediod works in all other applications correctly.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening & how I can fix the issue? Thank you for any insight you have.

You're welcome. It is unusual to force all lines in a Paragraph to stay together, but there is no one size fits all rule to this.
More often, the keep option used would be Keep with Next, used for a Headline. It would be unsightly to have Headline at the bottom of a text frame and the text start at the top of the next column.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat XI pdf portfolio not working

    My download of Acrobat XI from Creative Cloud does not seem to be fully functional.  I want to create a pdf portfolio and after I add some pdf files and click create, it tells me I need to download a version of Flash Player which supports Adobe (R) and Acrobat (R).  The link this message provides "Proceed to download page" does not work.  The window in Acrobat XI Pro becomes totally black and I can't create the portfolio.  I downloaded the latest Flash Player separately and tried again but the same thing happens.  I read somewhere that I might need an earlier version of Flash Player - can some one please advise the best course of action here?

    The recent update to Acrobat X Professional also breaks the ability to view PDF Portfolios. It wants me to install Flash, despite it already being on my machine. Funnily enough, this update removed Flash from within Acrobat instead using Flash that is already installed on the machine.

  • Acrobat PDF Portfolio - Not Saving my Welcome Page or Header

    For some reason, I can't get my Welcome Page or Header to save when I'm creating a PDF Portfolio. 
    What am I missing? It shows up fine when I create it but then I save and close and reopen and they aren't there...
    Please Help!

    You don't mention a version, but this may be a known issue if you are in 9.4. Take a look at the thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/793948 and see if the situation you are experiencing sounds similar and if the work around posted by Josh_Corey (toward the bottom of the thread, posted Jan 31, 2011) resolves the problem.

  • Unable to Open .pdf and not allowed to update the Reader

    I work for a State Agency that sends out .pdfs created with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to other State Agencies as an email attachment.
    We put security on the .pdf allowing only printing of the document.
    We have been doing this for years with no problems; however, we recently added a new branch of agencies to receive them.  Many of these agencies are unable to open the .pdf.
    I suggested they update to the Reader X, but they say they are unable to update the Reader because, "Our IT department does not have the capability to upgrade my adobe without it affecting the daily operation of my case management system."  Apparently, they have lots of forms that they will be unable to use if they upgrade.
    So, my question is:  Is there some other way the agencies can view and print the .pdf we are sending to them?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    That could be enough.
    Some email systems use encoding on files to make the transfer a little faster. When they are decoded at the receiving end, they can become corrupt.
    One way to test if this is the issue would be to Zip the file first, email it, and see if they can unZip the file and open it. If that works, then encoding is the problem. Not sure what can be done about that other than to Zip all files or post the files to a server and send them a link.
    I also seem to remember a conversation a long time ago about some newer files not being readable in Reader 5 and it tossed up that same error message but unfortunately, I'm depending on memory for that one and can't seem to find that old thread.
    But try a testing a Zip file and see if that works first.

  • How to password protect a PDF to not allow more than 3 attempts

    I am looking for a way to password prtotect a PDF document which will alllow the user only 3 attempts. If the user does not enter the password correctly, the document must be locked out and should expire.
    So basically, the user should not be allowed to try more than 3 times to open the document.
    Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks....

    You will not be able to achieve the functionality that you are looking for with "Password" based encryption\protection. 
    There is no way to monitor\audit the number of attempts to open a password protected PDF

  • I am getting a Eula error trying to open PDF file, not allowing me to open...what should I do?

    I have tried reinstalling software and didn't work. 
    How do I fix this eula error and open up PDF files again?

    I think I fixed it using help from another post...agreeing to license agreement in program files eula.exe
    I think Eula is a licensing agreement term (not quite sure because I just heard of it when error happened). 

  • PDF Portfolio: I am not allowed to reduce its size nor to optimize it. Urgent help!

    I have the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI.
    I have created a portfolio.
    I need to reduce the size of this portfolio, but when I try I keep getting a message that says that I don't have "enought permissions to do this".
    What do I have to do to be able to reduce the size of this document.
    It's quite urgent.
    I hope to hear from somebody soon.
    Thank you!

    Hi Ciacroa,
    You cannot reduce the size of the pdf portfolio once it's created.
    You need to reduce the size of the individual files before combining them into portfolio.

  • PDF Portfolio on IPAD using Adobe X does not record notes and highlights

    Hello
    I have uploaded a PDF Portfolio and ADOBE Reader X to my IPAD and cannot highlight or annotate the documents. The pencil tool is greyed out. Is there a setting that I am forgetting to create?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Currently Adobe Reader on iOS does not allow annotations on documents that are part of a Portfolio, though this is something we would consider supporting in a future release.
    One way out is to extract the PDFs within the Portfolio (using Adobe Acrobat, for example) and individually editing them in Adobe Reader on iOS.
    Thanks,

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • PDF Portfolio SDK setup - Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder 4.6 does not show

    Hello, Experts
    I am trying to build PDF Custom Navigator using Adobe PDF Portfolio SDK; however, for some reason, when performing step 3 of installation, Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder  (  4.6 ) would not show;
    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\
    any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Best Regards,

    as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

  • 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.

  • PDF Portfolio will open in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome

    I have a PDF Portfolio linked on my site.  I can open it fine in IE (version 9), but it will not open in Firefox 21 or Chrome 27.  When I click on the link, I get the message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later."  Even though I can open it fine in IE and I know I already have the correct version, I click on the link/button to download now.  It says it installs successfully, but I still am unable to open it in the two browsers.
    Any advice is appreciated!

  • How to resolve Content not allowed in prolog with PDF files

    We are using PI 7.1 to read a file and using ASMA get the file name and pass it to a target mapping and call a web service with the file name.
    We have a scenario that reads a PDF file as Binary form a folder.  Our mapper uses ASMA to get the file name and folder of the
    file to map to the target.
    Testing in mapper works fine except for the ASMA does not function (known issue).
    At runtime we drop a file and it is picked up as expected BUT from SXMB_MONI we see the following:
    Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_FileNotification_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Content is not allowed in prolog.
    This error does not happen all the time either.  When it appears it is typically only the first time a file is mapped and on subsequent retries it processes normally.  In dev we have shown that PI seems to get stuck on a few initial files u2013 process properly on the first retry and then at some point has no issues and will process files very fast.
    u201CContent not allowed in prologu201D at least from an XML perspective is related to characters appearing before the xml file declaration:
    <?xml version="1.0".encoding="UTF-8"?>
    If chars appear before this you get this error in Java parsers.  This could be related but we do not have control over how PI parsed the file content and puts into XML messages inside the mapper as we do nothing with the file content.
    The same file will go through randomly with this exception on multiple drops.  Sometimes it gets processed properly and sometime it doesnu2019t u2013 but in dev it u201Calwaysu201D gets processed properly on the automatic retry.  It does not seem to matter what PDF we drop in there either.
    Our tyoes look something like this:
    Source:
    DT_FILE - xsd:hexBinary
    Target:
    FilePath - xsd:String
    I have tried with DT_FILE as xsd:base64Binary with the same results...
    We use a UDF to get the file name from ASMA as follows:
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
    String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key1);
    String ourSourceDirName = conf.get(key2);
    //conf.put(key1, ourSourceDirName + "/" + ourSourceFileName);
    return ourSourceDirName + "
    ToProcess
    " + ourSourceFileName;

    > Is using a custom adapter module the standard way to handle files when we do not want the content? 
    I would rather say this is a feasible solution
    > If so does anyone have generic code that we can use for the purposes of simply monitoring a file and passing the file name/folder out implemented as modules already?
    The questio is. What do you want to do with this information?
    Here is a sample code written for a specific purpose, you can adapt this to your needs:
