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?

    Acrobat Standard can't make Portfolios; you shouldn't have been offered that item when you registered. I suggest you contact Customer Support and ask for your selection to be reset.

  • How do I install the complimentary PDF Portfolio Templates for Acrobat XI

    I download the complimentary PDF Portfolio Templates.  How do I install them to Acrobat XI?

    It depends on the OS you are working. Navigator files (Portfolio templates) usually go in the following locations:
    Windows
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Navigators
    Mac
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/Navs/

  • Installing the complimentary PDF portfolio templates?

    I could download the complimentary PDF portfolio templates, but failed to unzip the file. Adobe Acrobat XI cannot see the zipfile, nor the templates inside. Apparently I am skipping steps?

    I used Winzip, and the details of the error message are:
    Extracting to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\"
    Use Path: yes   Overlay Files: no
    Unable to process "Adobe_Acrobat_XI_PDF_Portfolios\_Instructions\".

  • Create PDF portfolios - Portfolios not listed under Create menu

    Upon purchase of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, I was able to download PDF Portfolio templates.
    Under help file, instructions say to go to Create and select Portfolios.
    No Portfolio option is listed in the Create menu.
    How can I correct this?

    Hi Sue,
    Unfortunately, the PDF Portfolios feature is only available in Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Help | Create and customize PDF Portfolios

  • New PDF portfolios without the old options

    Previously, we created PDF portfolios so users can view all 3 PDFs in one document. Now, with the latest version of Adobe, the PDF portfolio templates and options are all different. Users must extract each PDF (within the portfolio) to be able to view it fully. This defeats the entire purpose of creating a PDF portfolio in the first place and will definitely confuse our users, who are accustomed to the old PDF portfolio. Is there a way to import old templates to the new Adobe? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

    That's just how it is. The navigators from Acrobat 9 cannot be used in later versions and their source code was never released, so to replicate their features you would have to write them yourself, from scratch, using the Portfolio SDK and Flex.

  • 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:

  • How can I create a dynamic XML driven PDF Portfolio?

    I have built an XML application for which I maintain a library of individual PDF page "templates" used to assemble large (1000+ pages) PDF documents. The page templates are saved as PDFs without page numbers as they can be reused anywhere in any manual, the page numbers are applied during the document assembly process. I am now attempting to implement an update process, in which one template change can impact dozens of large documents. I am therefore looking at moving away from creating these large PDF documents and creating something more along the lines of a Package, Portfolio or other solution in which document pages/templates in the library are linked to rather than combined, so that changes across multiple large documents can be done quickly and transparently to the user. I am sure there is a solution using an Adobe spec like Portfolio or XDP, I just need a nudge down the right path, as nothing in what I've read explicitly states that these technologies can be used for this purpose. I would prefer to stay within technologies I am comfortable with to create/modify the necessary files, whcih are XML/XSLT and ANT. I would also like to know if it's possible to add page numbers on the footer of each page in the Portfolio without modifying the template, and if the resulting Portfolio can be saved as a normal PDF or printed with the dynamic page numbers included.
    I know this might be a tall order but if anyone can help clarify what's possible with existing Adobe technologies it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Indeed - PDF Portfolios are a collection of static files attached to a one-page cover sheet, you cannot have references to externally-stored documents.
    You can replace individual files in a Portfolio (by adding a file of the same name) but nothing happens automatically, and the file when added to the Portfolio will have no idea about where it originally came from. There's no concept of "check for updates".

  • 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.

  • 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 Portfolios

    Unusual problem with 10X PDF portfolio. Create a PDF porfolio, with titles etc All look great and am using linear view. Add files etc, and in edit mode they are all there an its perfect. Save the portfolio and reopen it and you can only see the first document. In edit mode they are there but in prewiew mode although you can scroll through to the second document and it is in the file, but nothing displays, it is a blank screen just showing the background. Before you save it all works fine. save and reopen and the problem pops up. Makes creating the portfolio usless. Does anyone have any ideas? This was not happening before by that I mean I use a portfolio as a template and all was good till this started up.

    Try updating your Flash player (which the PDF Portfolio uses) to see if it corrects the problem. The Flash player was decoupled from Acrobat 10.1.5 installs for security reasons. http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html

  • How do I open the Special Edition Acrobat X PDF Portfolio themes?

    I chose these themes as my complimentary benefit when I installed Acrobat X, and downloaded the ZIP file to my hard drive without incident.  I then extracted the files within the ZIP file.  However, when I open Acrobat, and attempt to import the four themes, my browser won't recognize that the files are there - and I have no option to search for "All Files" or otherwise change the three-letter extension.
    Am I going about this the wrong way?
    Tom

    In Acrobat X PDF Portfolios there are two levels of "templates" to customize the style of the document interface.
    A Layout (internally called a "navigator") has the file extension .NAV and controls the layout of the Portfolio, the way the cards animate, where the scrollers are, and so forth. Layouts are written in Flex.
    A Theme is a SWF file "skin" which is applied over the top of a Navigator - this is what's in the Special Edition pack. Standalone Themes are usually drawn in Flash Pro or Illustrator, and contain no code. They're simply a collection of graphics with pre-defined symbol names.
    To apply a Theme, create/open a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro, and from the Edit Pane, choose Visual Themes -> Import Custom Theme, and select the SWF. It will be embedded into the PDF Portfolio, but won't be permanently-added to the Acrobat panes. Themes can be applied to almost any Layout, but each time you change the Layout your theme will be reset.
    There's a detailed video explaining how all these things work on AUC.

  • Filename in PDF portfolio?

    Sorry for what I'm sure is an easy(lame) question.
    I don't want to show the filename when creating a PDF portfolio and I've hunted for the answer without any luck.
    How do I only show the image or show a custom text/ title but not the XXXXX.jpg filename?
    thx!
    > just to clarify.... when viewing a PDF portfolio of images I don't want to show the image filename below the image.

    Hi,
    I've been trying to hide the file name myself. It seems intuitive that, while in the Modify area of the PDF Portfolio, under "Specify File Details" that one would simply unclick "Name" under "Columns to Display".
    But all that seems to do is hide it while I'm within the Modify section. I save and go back to view the pdfs and there are the file names.
    Anyone out there know the answer? Even if it's just a link to more info, that would be great. I need to get this out but without the filenames. I've searched in Google but no good info.
    BTW, the Description option is a nice touch and shows upon immediate hover. That's why I don't need to show a file name. Plus, you can write more in the description than is viable/sensible in a file name.
    Thanks for your help.
