PDF Portfolio with Index Doc (and links)?

Hello all.
I'm a newbie at Porfolios, and have version 9 on windows. I also have version 10 at work.
I want to take an excel spreadsheet (converted to pdf) and make it a main index in my portfolio; whereas when someone clicks on the index, it starts at a first page; allowing them to view the list of assets, and then click an asset name (link) which takes them to a sub file in a sub folder, or just a sub file. I don't think I ever go more than 2 link clicks to get to the bottom of the tree.
I was able to create the index, and links, and on both 9 and 10 (windows) it follows the links nicely.
The problem? There's no logical button or menu choice that I can find which takes me back to the main index after I've hit the bottom of the tree.
Thoughts?

I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio. I
need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
created date of that file for control of information.
That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
Can you help me, please?

Acrobat 9 PDF portfolios with the new version of Reader

We have a somewhat large PDF portfolio with a few hundred documents in it that was created with Acrobat 9 a few years ago. It worked great with Reader 9 and was fast, etc. Since the updates to Reader X and XI, the portfolio is sluggish and very slow to use. If I install Reader 9 back onto my system, it works great... The propblem is our IT department wont do this globally since they have identified security issues with Reader 9. Are there any fixes for this problem???

Creating a PDF Portfolio with a side menu

Hi!
Is there an easy way to create a PDF portfolio with a side menu using Acrobat X?
This was a feature in earlier versions. I am trying to make a large portfolio, and it is hard to navigate without some kind of menu.
Thanks,
Gregory

Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

When I publish a pdf collection with index to a CD, the index won't load

I am using acrobat XI pro. I have a pdf collection with 30 chapters, a table of contents that is linked to each chapter, and an index. I have inserted a bookmark for the table of contents in each chatper. There are lots of cross chapter links. It all works beautifully on my computer, I can click links between chapters, go back to table of contents using bookmark on each document, and conduct a search that uses the right index and breaks results down per chapter. But when I burn the folder to a CD and install on another computer, the index won't load and the table of contents link is broken. the index is there on the CD, every file and the file structure looks identical to what is on my computer hard drive. I have tried different methods of burning the disc. They all say they are successfully burned. But when I insert into another computer (have tried a laptop and desktop), I either get an error message about the index or it just create it at all. I deleted the index and all of its associated files and recreated from scratch, associating each of the 30 chapter to the index again, but still does not work. Help, past deadline already!

I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

PDF Portfolio compatible on PC and Mac?

Hello,
I have a very large InDesign file that I will need to seperate into individual PDF files.
I've never used PDF Portfolio before, but have seen some samples and love how it allows 'interconnectivity' between multiple PDF files.
My end-users are on PC and Mac platforms. I am on a PC system. Would my PDF portfolio work on a Mac?
Also, some end-users use extremely old versions of Acrobat. I imagine that the 'PDF Portfolio' may not work on them. Will they still be able to view the individual PDF files?
Delivery method is the files will be burned onto a CD.
Thanks!

With a Mac, it is usually not required to delete an Apple application before re-installing the app if needed. You can re-install the app over the existing, and the same applies to an app provided as a bundle - installed via drag and drop to your hard drive from a mounted disk image after the app was downloaded instead of being installed with an installer. Most 3rd party apps for the Mac are made available and installed as a bundle.
Have you run Software Update located at System Preferences > Software Update since purchasing your Mac?
If so and any update that was available has been installed, try running Disk First Aid which will require booting your Mac from the Snow Leopard install disc included with your Mac purchase. This link provides instructions for doing so.

How to store pdf into blob, index it and search it?

I am trying to store pdf into a column, index the column and search it.
I store pdf file into blob column with either the following code or with an interface in apex
declare
Dest_loc BLOB;
Src_loc BFILE := BFILENAME('DIR_TESTCASE', 'intermedia.pdf');
BEGIN
INSERT INTO pdffiles(id, description)
VALUES(1, 'InterMedia Concepts')
RETURN text INTO Dest_loc;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(Src_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(Dest_loc, Src_loc, dbms_lob.getlength(Src_loc));
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(Src_loc);
COMMIT;
END;
then i need to create an index
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('pdf
lexer', 'BASICLEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('pdf_lexer', 'printjoins', '_-');
end;
create index PDFFILES_TEXT on PDFFILES(TEXT) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('lexer pdf_lexer');
sqlplus says index created but windows gives an error and closes ctxhx.exe
and of cource when I tried to make a search like
select id, description
from pdffiles
where contains(text,'Oracle') > 0;
it doesn't return any results.
My database is 10g XE, I also tried it on Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE

It is possible to store pdf and doc files in a blob column, create a text index, and search them, and display them. However, you cannot expect to just select doc and pdf data directly from a blob column and expect to be able to read it, due to all of the special formatting characters. You need to use ctx_doc.snippet or ctx_doc.markup or some such thing to format it and make it readable. Please see the demonstration below. You can search the online documentation for complete syntax, additional information, and examples.

Pdf portfolio source file name and date in file details

Is it possible to import the source file name and extension as well as the source file created date in the portfolio file details? Need to document source to portfolio in working with 3rd parties that will only have the original source. Need to document what was converted into pdf as not all files in a directory will successfully convert to pdf. Sometimes need to convert 100's of files. Manual entry is inefficient. the file names and modified dates are displayed on the Combine Files dialog. is there a way to capture the detail on that page?

I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio. I
need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
created date of that file for control of information.
That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for).

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?

Make a PDF Portfolio with Chapters work on an iPad

Hi, I have created a PDF Portfolio document for iPad. I built the document in InDesign as a Digital Publication (iPad 768x1024,vertical only). The portfolio contains a number of chapters with each chapter containing a number of pages. I’ve built navigation hyperlinks into the PDF file in Acrobat DC. The PDF Portfolio file works perfectly on desktop computers and I am able to view all chapter and pages, but when I try to open it on an iPad I just get directed to ‘download Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later’. I’ve tried opening it on 3 different iPads that are all running the latest version of Acrobat DC Reader and get the same message every time.
I tried making a second version of the file without the combining the chapters into a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat DC, just running all of the pages together in a single file, with hyperlinks on the contents page and it works perfectly on the iPad. So how can I get it to work on an iPad as a Portfolio with Chapters, can you give me any advice?

Hi,
I presume that "chapters" are individual PDF documents that are contained in your PDF Portfolio.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS and Android) support the hyperlink to jump to a page view within the same PDF document or open a web page (http://... or https://...). Unfortunately, the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps do not support the hyperlink to open a different PDF document (regardless of whether it is included in a Portfolio or not).
Please note that most mobile PDF viewers for iOS and Android do not support Portfolios.
To make your PDF document compatible with any PDF viewers on desktop computers and mobile devices, I'd recommend the second version - "all of the pages together in a single file with hyperlinks".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am converting a PDF to a Word Doc and it is not converting our logo or any handwritten notes to the new document

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word Document. I have only recently started using this item so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. When the PDF document is converted to the Word doc it is not converting any symbols, logos or handwritten items. For example I have a sign letter of intent with a signature that I am trying to convert from a PDF to a word document and the signature does not appear on the word doc.

Hi judyf73891847,
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I'm not surprised that ExportPDF is having a hard time converting handwriting. One option is to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Then, ExportPDF won't try to convert those elements into editable text. The only drawback to that is that you won't be able to edit those items when you open the converted document in Word.
Best,
Sara

Creating a pdf from a word doc and the image and footer will not show

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc that has an image and footer. Neither will show in the pdf. Also getting this message "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from the Adobe website." My Cloud says it is updated.

What was the Original?
If it was from Word, chances are the top and bottom Margins were set too narrow. (should not be less than .5 inches even more safety 1" would be better). As for graphics. Check in Word preferences (may be called different in a windows machine) make sure in view and Print settings "Graphics" is checked (show Graphics and Print Graphics).
