PDF Saving

Is it possible to save a snapshot from a pdf file? This way I don't have to keep taking a snapshot each time I want to read a certain detail. Thanks

The Pdf files that I have are sets of blueprints. One page of these prints may have 10 different detail diagrams on them. I may have to reference one of these details many times. I would like to take a snapshot of just one these details and save them to a new file so if I need to reference a detail, I can open up the saved detail instead of snapshotting all the time.

If you are using Mac, press Apple + I to get the information. It show a table. There is a section call Open with. Change the file with pdf icon to open with indesign. If using PC, just click on the second button on the mouse and open with Indesign.

PDFs saved in Acrobat 9 Pro can't be opened in 4...

I have some PDFs that I've created in InDesign CS4 and they open fine in everything. If I make any small changes in Acrobat 9 Pro, say just changing the Initial View, and then doing a Save As the new file will not open in Acrobat 4.
I'm greeted by the following error message:
"There was an error opening this document. Could not repair file."
I'm also experiencing scrambled text if I open the PDF in Preview.
I've also recently had a print shop that wasn't able to handle a PDF saved in Acrobat 9, but was able to handle the same PDF saved in 8. So I was just wondering if anyone else out there has been experiencing the same issues?
The details:
Acrobat 9 Pro (9.1.2)
OS X 10.4.11 PPC
Why does the PDF have to open in Acrobat 4? Well there's no real reason it shouldn't, plus I like to see what my PDFs will look like to someone using an old program that doesn't support transparency.

You need to use the optimizer to set the version you want the pdf to be saved as.

Can a PDF saved from cs6 be opened in cs5 with layers intact?

I have a client who insists on receiving final files as PDFs saved as Illustrator Default with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities ticked. This wasn't an issue until I upgraded to cs6. In cs6 I'm saving the native file as cs5, and then saving as PDF with the following options:
The client is able to open the PDF in cs5 but the layers are all flattened into a single layer. Is there way to Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities for any version other than cs6?

The only way is to downsave the AI file to a CS5 and export from there. There are too many changes from CS5 to CS6 for this not to happen.

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud?

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud? My documents in Pages is on both the ipad and iphone automatically as soon as i connect both to wifi. The stuff in ibooks did not do this. Also- I am backing up my phone right now to icloud... it says must be plugged in, connected to wifi, and locked. So after I do this, all of my icloud-able contents will be available on my ipad??

You might look into using Dropbox for that. I use it between Macs but haven't tried it with my Phone.

Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER

Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER ? Do you loose the files you have saved on you old computer when you get another computer?

I may not be clear on what you are asking here but I'll try an answer anyway since that's the type of guy I am.
If you have PDF files on your old computer, you will need to transfer them to your new computer. You can use a flash drive or CD if needed.
But again, I think I'm not getting what you are really wanting to know. If I'm not, can you give us some more details?

PDFs saved in Excel, Opened in Illustrator CS2

I've had two issues to tackle, but recently figured out a solution for one of them. My other issue regards overprint.
I'm working on a 2-color publication. It seems that when i open a PDF saved in Excel, or paste an excel document, into an Illustrator (CS2) document, all my black is not marked to overprint, and this is an issue with my printer. Should be an easy fix, but these excel files contain charts with bars and other lines on them that break up into separate lines (and strokes) once opened in Illustrator. In order for me to mark the black with overprint, I have to use the Direct Selection Tool and select every single piece of black art and check "overprint fill" or "overprint stroke" or both! It's tedious work that I don't really have the patience nor the time to deal with. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Anything I can do in Excel while printing to PDF or in Illustator to help alleviate this mess??

Select > Same > Fill Color
and Select > Same > Stroke Color

I created several pdfs & saved them in adobe acrobat pro. I want to start all over & want to delete these pdfs so I am not confused with more than one document with similar titles. How do I delete the document

I am working on a big project & creating everything in word. I then am turning the documents into PDF format so they will be easy for everyone to open. I have several PDFs that are not the way I want them & want to delete them so I don't have so many documents with similar names. Is there a way to delete a pdf from my saved document?? This is probably very simple & I am over thinking it, but appreciate any help.

I was able to figure it out, & just as I thought way to simple! UGH!

PDF Saving issue in Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have trouble saving Acrobat 4 compatible PDF files in Illustartor CS6. The problem does not affect every file I try to save, but when saving from AI to PDF, heavier files tend to be hard to save. I select the "Save as" option, click PDF, choose my location, then in the dialog with the settings I choose the ones I need and hit enter. A progress bar appears and after a while it freezes on about 80% and never moves further. I am running Illustrator CS6 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, OS X Mountain Lion. I have tried reinstalling Illustrator, saving to a different location and changing the settings. the only thing that worked for me was saving a Acrobat 5 or 6 compatible file, but this is not a solution, since I need the Acrobat 4 compatibility for a client. Thanks in advance.

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.

Reader icons for PDF saved on Desktop are not displayed

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed on my computer. Whereas Adobe Reader typical icons are correctly displayed in every PDF documents saved on my hard disk, they are not displayed on those saved on Desktop. A blank icon is displayed instead. I have tried to repair Adobe Reader from Control Panel and to uninstall it and remove its leftovers on the registry by using an uninstaller program but the problem still persists. If I create a New Folder on the Desktop and cut and paste the PDF documents saved on Desktop on such folder, they are displayed but if I then move them back to the Desktop the blank icons are again displayed. Any idea what can be the cause and how to fix the problem?
Many thanks,
Ennio

Hello,
There are so many posts in this forum concerning this question. Just make a search with the "ICON" keyword, then you will get hundreds of answers.
You can also look at the OTN forms page

and particulary documentation about icons

PDF saving in Preview with IRS forms ruins PDF

I am trying to save my tax form after filling it out in preview and when you "save as" the entire pdf shifts to the top right margin cutting off the edge. It prints correct and if you print - save as pdf it is also correct. However, print -save as pdf destroys the editable fields.
Tax form 1040

Thanks for the help,

macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Phew, I'm glad to find out that it isn't my Preview. I am trying to do the exact thing, and got the same issue. But I'm glad to hear that it prints correctly at least, although I haven't tried it myself. It's VERY annoying why the pdf shifts like that.
Regarding why the editable fields are destroyed, I'm almost certain that it's just how Preview is. I'm quote-ing the help from Preview Help. Topic is "Filling out PDF forms."
"... However, after you save the document, you can no longer edit any of its fields. Before filling out a form, you may want to create a copy of it, so you can go back to the original. And before saving the form, be sure it's filled out completely and correctly. ..."

Illustrator PDF saving as an InDesign PDF

Strange... I have CS5. Just recently, when I try to save an AI document as a PDF, it looks like everything works correctly, but the resulting icon on my desktop shows ID (pdf). When I click on it, it says InDesign can not open the document because a plugin is missing or it is open (which it is not). I can go back into Illustrator and open it, and I can open it through Acrobat, but saving again, through either of these programs still gives me a default of an InDesign PDF which in turn will not open by just clicking on it.
Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

Indesign canot open the PDF file ,however you can place the pdf file in the Indesign which wil not be editable.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bd7a.html
Place command is under File>place
also what is happening at your end is the issue of the file association, the default application to open the PDF set on your computer is Adobe Indesign.
once the default application will be changed to Acrobat it will work fine for you.
Please let us know the operating system to know the steps or you can google it.

PDF saved as 1.4 need to re-output as pdf 1.3 ???

Im trying to insert a PDF in a program and it tell me:
"the document was imported successfully, but may not look as intended.
You may get better result if you can arrange for the PDF to be re-output as PDF1.3 or earlier, or PDF/X-1a."
i noticed under properties the pdf document is saved under PDF version 1.4 ... is there a way of saving as a different version on converting the PDF?
I did not create the PDF though, would the person who did have to save it under a different version and resend ?
Help..

If there's no problem when it's displayed, then don't worry about it. There's nothing you can do with Reader anyway. You'd need something like Acrobat to modify the document.
