PDF/Research Document Organiser?

Heya folks, this one goes out to those of you who are researchers/students/generally organised. I am looking for a good, Apple-ish (I.e. like iTunes, Aperture etc.) program for organising research documents that i download from the net. I would ideally like to be able to sub-divide in projects, assign keywords, attach summaries etc. but not all of this is 100% essential.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Look at Yep or Papers - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

I posted this question yesterday and received one reply. I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here. As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal. Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section. Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer. So, that brings me back to my original question, how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it. Thanks for your patience and help.

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Linking a PDF or document to an event in ical?

Is there a way that one can tie an event to a PDF or document in ical.
I could do it with mail tags 2.0 but I would first have to e-mail the document to myself then create the event from there.......
I tried doing a search but no luck.
I'm sure this can be done but I'm just trying to hard to find it.
Thanks in advance!

I find it simplest to drag the file and drop it on the "url" label. Clicking the lable then pops up "go to location" which will open the file.

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

My operating system is Windows XP SP3. I have Adobe 11.0.08 installed. I cannot print a pdf file/document. Error message - AeroRd32.exe - Unable To Locate Component - "Application failed to start because lxdautil.dll not found." Any suggestions?

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

Converting spool request into multiple pdf formated documents

Hi Guys,
             I am designing a report with several pages of output and running it in background.
Is there a possibility to convert each page into an separate pdf format document ?
If I use ALV report as output, if its more than page, do I face any issue with pdf conversion.
Thanks

Export to PDF ignores document size settings?

I have several documents in InDesign CS4 and when I export them to PDF the document size changes.
I have set all the following options to A4 (210x297mm):
In Indesign: File->Document Settings
In Windows->Printer settings->Adobe PDF->Paper Size
After exporting and opening in Reader 9 the document size has changed to 210 x 303.3mm
This then requires a tweak before the first print run.
I should be able to just export to production and they can print from the PDF without checking the settings!
What have I missed?

I am using the export option not printing to PDF.

Editing/annotating a pdf/A document on an android device

If I open a pdf/A document using Adobe Reader on a desktop or laptop, the document is opened as read-only. But if I open it on a tablet using the Android version of Reader, I can annotate it using text entry or freehand with my fingertip or stylus. After I save the document with the changes, it still is opening as pdf/A when I look at a copy of it on my desktop using the Windows version of Reader. Will a pdf/A document that has been edited on an android device with Reader in fact still meet the ISO 19005 standard ?

I managed to answer this for myself. I created a pdf/A-1b compliant document using Acrobat 10 Pro, transferred it to a tablet ( Samsung Galaxy 5 Note ), and annotated the document using Reader on the tablet. I transferred the annotated document back to the desktop computer, and once again tested it with Acrobat 10 Pro. The annotated document is no longer pdf/A compliant.

Open pdf's, documents in new browser window SharePoint 2010

Hi all,
when a user clicks on pdf's, documents, html pages etc in a document library I need them to open in a new browser window. I've found lots of articles on how to do it in 2007 but none work in 2010. I know its not an out of the box function but people
have done it with Java script or adding code to the document library allitems.aspx web part, I just can't replicate those steps in 2010.
I'm not a developer or anything but can put code in the right place using SharePoint designer 2010.
Pulling my hair out at the mo,
please help
thanks in advance

Create a Document Library called ScriptLibrary.
Download the Jquery library here: http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js
Create a new file called: OpenPDF.js
Paste the following Code in the file:
$("A[href$=.pdf]").click(function() {
window.open(this.href);
Upload both files to your newly created ScriptLibrary.
The ScriptLibrary should have 2 files: jquery-1.4.4.min.js and OpenPDF.js
Navigate to the List Page that has the PDF's that you need opened in a new window.
Click Site Actions: Edit Page,
Insert > Content Editor WebPart
Click to Edit the HTML Source of the HTML WebPart, then paste in the following to reference the two files you uploaded to your Script Library:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ScriptLibrary/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ScriptLibrary/OpenPDF.js" ></script>
*The src needs to point to the files you uploaded
Save the page then click on a PDF, it should open in a new window.
You can then export that ContentEditorWebPart to your webpart gallery, and just insert the webpart on any page that needs the same functionality.

Create PDF/X1A Document Dynamically in PHP

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time posting in this forum, so hopefully iv posted in the correct part =)
I am in the middle of createing a web based system, written in PHP, and one of the requirements of this system is to create a PDF/X1A document dynamically. The user will input some data into the webpage and then upon submitting the page a new PDF/X1A will be created, at least that is the aim. I have trawled the intenet with no joy.
I have read that i will ba able to create a PDF/X1A document using Photoshop, InDesign and some other Adobe products. This is not going to be useful in terms of my requirements unfortunatly.
Please could someone inform me if creating a PDF/X1A document dynamically is possible ? If it is not, are there any work arounds i can use to fulfil my requirements ?
Regards,
-Ben

It is possible to create PDFs (of any flavor) using programming. You can create your own pdfs if you know the language specification or you can use one of Adobe's LiveCycle Server products to dynamically created pdfs. This latter method is more expensive, but probably easier to work with and easier to scale.

PDF Scanned in a PDF Text document?

How can I convert a PDF Scanned file in a PDF text document??
Regards

Unfortunately, you cannot change a scan into live text using Adobe Reader. At a minimum you would need Adobe Acrobat to run what's called Optical Character Recognition.
What I've recommended to people in the past is to use the drawing markup tools to draw boxes around the text they want highlighted then play around with the fill color of the box until they get something close to what they want.

PDF Properties/Document Protection/Security/show details. List differs from Document Restriction Summary.

Hello
I have a number of PDFs that have user permissions. When the files are opened in Adobe Reader the document's restriction summary lists differ and the form cannot be used as intended.

I am mystified why the two lists differ and the document when in use seems to be controlled by the list on the right, which takes away some of the user rights.
Is there an explanation for this. I would have thought that as the documents were password protected for permissions such as commenting and signing Adobe Reader could not change this.
Eric.

Yes, thats right. I used Open Office 3 to generate the pdf. I have also tried using pdftk and Adobe Distiller 5 with the same result.
Your statement implies, the 'Adobe Reader' features cannot be fully utilized without a valid Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is a document to which I have the source. I have been able to create the pdf with the required set of permissions based on standards. But I am being hassled because I didn't generate it with Adobe Pro! Well, I suppose this must have been a business decision, but its one thats standards contrary and morally low!
Adobe just lost an avid Reader user. I shall circulate my findings within my work and social circles. Thanks to competition and open source, I am sure to find a standards compliant reader without much delay.
Thanks for your help - graffiti

Whenever I print or export to PDF a document with superscripts or subscripts, it deletes them

Whenever I print or export to PDF a document with superscripts or subscripts, it deletes them.
I'm doing a chemistry degree so as you can imagine, there are a lot of missing superscripts or subscripts through my text!
I just tried updating my iWork suite to newest version but the problem still persists.

This bug has been around probably since the beginning of Pages 5. Here's one such thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5854946.
With regard to using MathType with tables in Pages 5+, there's another Pages bug that affects that. Please read our 2 articles about using MathType with Pages (and Keynote, and Numbers):
