Pdf with table of contents from a Pages file

I discovered in a pdf file sent to me that it has a table of contents in the sidebar where thumbnails, and annotations also reside.
When I create a pdf from my pages document this is not available.
In the table of contents sidebar are the words 'No Sections'. How do I create sections for every para styled as a heading so that they show in the table of contents sidebar of the pdf file.
I have been using outline to navigate in the pages file but the pdf would be simpler for me to do under meeting conditions.

Your son was probably referring to *Adobe Acrobat Pro*. But I can't see how that would help with the sidebar automatically.
In *Acrobat Pro* it would be a matter of selecting each head to make a bookmark from that and then resave the .pdf file with the bookmarks sidebar showing upon opening.
You can also add and edit bookmarks in Preview.
+Preview > Menu > Bookmarks > Add Bookmark/Edit Bookmarks…+
I did a further experiment with a Pages document with bookmarks to see if that created the sidebar with bookmarks, but it didn't work.
There are differences in the ways Preview and Acrobat Reader display .pdfs even with what seem to be straight forward settings. I can never depend on a uniform display.
Particularly where PC users are involved.

btw When you viewed your Pages document with your TOC did you set the Preview sidebar to show "Table of Contents" in the little icons at the foot of the Preview sidebar.

Need to Copy a subform along with content from one page to another page

Hi All,
I am new to Adobe Live Cycle .
I am facing a particular problem in one scenario.
I have a growing list of item i.e the number of Items are uncertain. I have put all these item in a sub form.
Now I need a copy of this sub form from the First page to the 2nd Page.
Basically , I want to copy a Subform along with the content from one page to another.
Can anybody please help me.

In source project open Tempo List (the one that is a list editor). Select all tempo changes and "copy them (command+c)
close project
Open destination project, open Tempo List delete all information and paste (command+V). Remember that Logic should be stopped at the exact position where the first tempo event happens. This is ussually 1.1.1.1, but check it in the source before closing it.
hope this helps.

How can I generate a table of contents from bookmarks

How can I generate a Table of Contents from bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat XI?

Something to try.
Rick Bostein provided a "Create Bookmark Report" Acrobat Action.
With this report as a PDF you could insert it at the start of your PDF document to serve as a "TOC".

Table of contents from lists or character styles

I have a legal document and I want to create a table of contents that includes, not just Headings (Article I, II, III, etc.) but also the sub headings (eg: Artilcle IV.3) which were created as numbered lists. If I give the list item a paragraph style it will put the whole text into the TOC. If I put a carrige return after a List heading it makes the body text as a new number in the list. Is there some wat to get either lists or character styles into the TOC? Can you have an in-line paragraph style? Here's what the document looks like:
Article VII Heading
List Heading. body text...
a)   Sublist heading body text
b)   Sublist heading body text
List Heading. body text...
Is there any way to do this so that the TOC reads something like this:
Article I   Heading              ....... page 2
          2. List Heading          ....... page 2
            a) Sublist Heading   ....... page 2
            b) Sublist Heading   ....... page 2
          3. List Heading          ....... page 3
Article II                              ....... page 3
etc. ??
I could do this manually, but this is document is being edited now and again and I don't want to have to change the TOC everytime we make a small chage to the document.
Thanks,
Brendan

The numbering and lettering are automatically generated by the List I selected.
It's been a few months since I did this, so I'm trying to remember exactly how the process went.
I've edited Bylaws and Constitutions like this several times for several non-profit organizations over the years, first on MS-DOS with floppy-discs using WordPerfect, later Windows and MS-Word, and now Mac OS-X and Pages '09. With each new iteration of software it keeps getting less painful, but it's still not a piece of cake.
This time, I began with scanned images of the last printed original copy (2008) for a document that no longer existed in any original computer format (1994). I imported the scans into Optical Character Recognition software included with my Canon printer/scanner.
I was determined NOT to re-type the whole document from scratch, so the editing I describe WAS time-consuming and a bit tedious, but still a bit less painful that starting from scratch. I'm a volunteer and retired. A paid fast(er) touch-typist working in an office (and their supervisor) might strongly disagree!
After cleaning up a few OCR-generated typos, I was also determined not to manually re-create the outline format and the table of contents if at all possible. Even 1980's WordPerfect on floppy discs could automatically generate an outline and a table of contents from marked text!
I used Lists to generate the desired outline format similar to the original, in some cases, correcting errors, but as shown in the above example, there are a few A's without B's and so on, because the original document (1994) was formatted that way, and I didn't want to substantially re-write the Bylaws at this time. (Save that for another day!)
As I edited, with the printed original by my computer, I did delete the original outline I's, A's, 1's a's, and so on as I went through, letting List do the re-numbering, and using Style to format the newly numbered headings.
Simple shortcuts when auto-generating lists: a [Tab] moves the active heading to the next-lower designation, and [Shift]+[Tab] moves it to the next-higher designation. Occasionally, I have to just use [Delete] to back up over the suggested letter, and start over again with [Return] to force the next letter/number.
And opening Inspector, Text, Lists, as shown in the example above, might help you more easily 'control' the outcome, as does Inspector, Document, TOC, noted earlier.
Hope this helps!

How do i create a table of contents from bookmarks?

How do I create a Table of Contents from the list of bookmarks? How do I format a Table of Contents?

Hi Brent!613,
I think you may have landed in the wrong forum. Are you using Acrobat? If so, this thread from the AcrobatUsers.com may be useful: https://answers.acrobatusers.com/Create-Table-Contents-pdf-Bookmarks-q192651.aspx
Best,

How can i optimize my SEARCH ENGINE???I use godaddy.i contact them and they give me this conclusion:Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript. the content on the pages, (photo gallery.....

conclusion from godaddy:
Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript.
the content on the pages, (photo gallery, My Recipes/Blog, History, Friends) need to be formatted to HTML, PHP or CSS. No search engines (google, Yahoo, Bing) can crawl//analyze webpages built with javascript.
See if Apple allows iweb to create the pages in HTML format and ask how to make those changes.
I spend more then 1 hour on the phone with them but we didn't find the solution...
please i need help because like this nobody can rich my website...
www.chefdiego.com
thank you

The part of iWeb pages that give the search engines problem is the navbar. That's javascript based. One way to get around that is to create another blank page in the site that's not included in the navbar.
Add a text based navbar in that page with just the other pages in the site.
Also you can use that page for creating the sitemap for Google at Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator.
Have you let Google know your site exists? This website describes how to get it recognized: Get your iWeb website found in search engines like Google Yahoo MSN and Bing.

Split a Table of Contents on two pages

Hi everyone!
I would like to split a Table of Contents on two pages after my own wishes. Is it possible? I know that the TOC can be styled but make it split over 2 pages seems impossible. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you for any input!!!

Thanks for the feedback.
It's not my idea.
It's a variant of what Apple explains in the technote:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2127
Symptoms
+When you create a document in Pages, you can add page numbers to your pages, and even choose a numbering format (such as 1, 2, 3; A, B, C; or I, II, III). If you create a table of contents (TOC) for your document, the TOC will always display page numbers as Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), even if you selected a different format for your page numbers (such as if you chose the letter scheme A, B, C).+
+If your page numbers are not Arabic numerals, your document may be difficult to navigate since the TOC and page numbers won't match. As a general rule, you should use Arabic numerals to number your pages if you plan on including a TOC so that the TOC will reference page numbers correctly.+
Resolution
+If you've used a different numbering format, you can edit your TOC using this workaround:+
_+Export your document as an RTF (Rich Text Format) document (from the File menu, choose Export, then select the RTF radio button in the resulting dialog).+_
_+Open the RTF in Pages (from the File menu, choose Open or drag the RTF file onto the Pages icon in the Dock).+_
_+Manually change the numbers in the Table of Contents section so that they match your page number scheme.+_
_+Please note that some of your formatting may change during this process and may need to be corrected.+_

Create a PDF with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and 11 x 17 pages

Is it possible in Acrobat 10 to create one PDF with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and 11 x 17 pages? I have two PDFs, one with 8 1/2 x 11 pages and the other with 11 x 17 pages. I want to merge the two into one PDF and be able to print the 8 1/2 x 11 pages as 8 1/2 x 11 and the 11 x 17 pages as 11 x 17 from the same document.

File > Combine is the tool.
or, Open the documents side by side; open their pages panels; drag page icons from one document to the other.
Choose Paper Source PDF by Page Size allows different size papers to be selected for the printer, assuming it supports multiple paper sizes.

After update 8.1.2 i had problem with sync my content from ITunes with IPod

After update 8.1.2 i had problem with sync my content from ITunes with IPod. It stucks on moment when its waiting for implementing changes (step 5 of 5) Hours and hours i'm waiting but still the same. So i cant use my Ipod at all.

Is it possible to generate PDF with "enable for commenting" from AI?

I am using Illustrator CS5 and have Acrobat 9 Pro on a Mac. I would like to generate PDF's with "enabled for commenting" feature on.
I was able generate a PDF from CS5 -> open it in Acrobat 9 Pro -> enable commenting -> Save as new PDF
I prefer to skip the above mannual step and generate the PDF with commenting enabled directly from Illustrator. Any ideas?

Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't support batch processing to "enable for commenting" feature. I can batch generate the PDFs from AI but will have to manually convert each PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro....(sucks!!!)
Another option is that I get a Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows - install LiveCycle - tranfer my AI generated PDFs (mac) to windows and use batch processing feature of LiveCycle to convert the PDFs into "enable for commenting" (sucks less!!!)
I would love to hear any other option available.

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree?
http://example.org/3d.pdf#model=abc
If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

Easy way to add content from a last file like a word document?

Is there somebody who can tell me how i can display content from a word file.
I have files with content inside on my network for example a word document.
Inside this document i've got hyperlinks to content on other pages from the same document. Is the a way or a method how i can display the content in the portal.
Do i need to cut and paste the word content of should i save the content as a XML or a HTML document and then add the document to portal
Regards
Andre

Yeah, I have an idea... Have you tried the pdf export yet? If it is already formated then that maybe the way to go. But you may need acrobat to save it in another format. If I recall InDesign renders the pdf, which would make editing the pdf in Indesign useless.
OK, did a quick test with PDF. Load the PDF into Acrobat and save as a word file. Place the word file into InDesign and you will have the styles paragraphs. You just have to alter the style taste, may be fix a few paragraphs if needed.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

How to Create a Table of Contents From an Imported PDF File?

I have imported a 150 page PDF file into inDesign 5. I want to create a Table of Contents for my document, but there are no paragraph or heading styles in the document. If I built the document in inDesign, I would have labeled each chapter "Heading 1" and then instructed inDesign to collect up all the Heading 1s and make a TOC automatically.
But I didn't create this PDF, it has no formatting at all. Its just been placed in the inDesign document space.
Anyone have any tips of how I can pick out all the Chapter headings.....they are in a distinctive format (14 point bold) from the rest of the document text.
Anyone?

InDesign cannot read *anything* out of a PDF file.
Open in Acrobat, copy heading, paste in InDesign. Repeat until done.
