PDF Writing sample portfolios and Slideshows

Hey this is the Muse newbie again . Hoping someone could shed some insight. I am having to redesign our company's website, and using Muse to do so. We do technical writing and illustrations, we will be using the slideshows to show samples of our artwork, (of course). But we also need to show PDF sample manuals of the writing done by the company, is this something that could be somehow displayed in a slideshow, or how would you recommend handling such issues.
Thanks in advance for the insight and input.

Hi Nicklaus,
Do you wish to hyperlink the thumbnails to individual pdf files, so that when clicked they open the pdf for either downloading or preview in browser, based on the browser settings, whether it is set to open a preview or directly allow a download?

An existing PDF portfolio and want to convert it to Acrobat's Portfolio but when I pull it in

I have an existing PDF portfolio and want to convert it to Acrobat's Portfolio but when I pull it into Portfolio is shows one document but does not show the 55 pages that make the exisiting portfolio of work. Help, all I can seem to find are directions to pull in every photo individually.

Dave, he is asking the same thing I want to ask.
He has a pdf portfolio and what he actually wants is a basic pdf. (his pdf portfolio has already been made, ie existing, not hypothetical!)
I cannot find the answer either... extremely frustrating since I was not ever trying to create some flash based slide show, but a proper PDF, and inadvertently created the portfolio when choosing to Create PDF From File... You would THINK the default behaviour would then be to create a PDF, and NOT a portfolio pdf!!!!!
Really annoying and frustrating... bad job Adobe!
Is there a way to convert back to basic pdf??

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Troubleshooting Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios and Flash Player

Urgent Issue. We have a large number of corporate reference files in Adobe PDF Portfolios, created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
(1) Since Adobe moved the Flash Player to a separate stand-alone app, the contents of the existing PDF Portfolios are not visible or accessible.
(2) I created a new PDF Portfolio to troubleshoot the problem. After adding files to the Portfolio the files are not visible either. Adding the same file a second time triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in any of the layouts.
I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate app when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 installed as a separate app.
How do I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original functionality?

I found the followinginformation on Adobe’s website which indicates rendering flash content wasturned off in v9.5.1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/04/background-on-security-bulletin-apsb12-08.
html
When you get the error, itrefers you to a webpage with a link for a flash player download:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-acrobat-flash-player-download.html#mai
n_download
Please note that The Adobe flash player you have installed on your machien is different from the NPAPI version of flash player. So you need to have both of these versions of Falsh player installed on your machine.

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work? Is there any other way to recover it? Thanks!

Hi @Pat Willener,
since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

Insert pdf into a Portfolio via Javascript

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to find an answer for this. Admittedly, I am new to Acrobat JS. I've checked the Adobe Javascript API, and I can't seem to find out how to do it. The only collection methods all relate to fields, and the properties are fields, initialDoc and initialview. I can't seem to see how to add a doc at all.
In my searches, I did find this utility: New Feature added to Joel’s PDF Portfolio Utilities: Version 1.7 – The PDF Developer Junkie Blog
He does provide an interesting function in javascript: "Combine all open PDF portfolio's"
Checking the source code on that I see the following:
function ADBE_JFG_CombineCollections()
//get an array of all of the open documents
var docs = trustedActiveDocs();
if (docs.length > 0)
   //Create a new empty portfolio
   newPortfolio = trustedNewCollection();
   //create a thermometer
   t = app.thermometer;
   t.duration = docs.length;
   t.begin();
   i=0
   //loop through each open document
   for each (doc in docs)
   t.value = i
   //if the document is a Portfolio... (we won't add single PDFs)
   if (doc.collection)
//first add all the fields that we need
for each (f in doc.collection.fields)
try
newPortfolio.collection.addField({name:f.name, text:f.text, type:f.type});
console.println("Field named "+f.name+" added");
catch (err)
console.println("Field named "+f.name+" already present.");
for each (item in doc.dataObjects)
t.text = "Inserting file "+item.name;
newPortfolio.createDataObject(item.name, "");
newPortfolio.setDataObjectContents(item.name, doc.getDataObjectContents(item.name));
for each (f in doc.collection.fields)
newPortfolio.getDataObject(item.name).setFieldValue(f.name, item.getFieldValue(f.name));
t.end()
The problem is, his code will only work on portfolio's that exist already. I tried to modify it as a test to see if I could cobble something together to fit my needs and did the following:
function portTest()
var docs = trustedActiveDocs();
newPortfolio = trustedNewCollection();
//loop through all open docs
if (docs.length > 0 )
t = app.thermometer
t.duration = docs.length;
t.begin();
i=0
for each (doc in docs)
t.value = i
t.text = "Inserting file "+doc.documentFileName;
newPortfolio.createDataObject(doc.documentFileName, "");
newPortfolio.setDataObjectContents(doc.documentFileName, doc.getDataObjectContents(doc.documentFileName));
t.end();
This was unsuccessful, causing adobe to raise an internal error if attempted as a script, and the debugger gives me an error as well. If I comment out this line:
newPortfolio.setDataObjectContents(doc.documentFileName, doc.getDataObjectContents(doc.documentFileName));
The script runs, creating a new portfolio, and inserting an entry for a new doc, but that entry has no contents. As far as the API seems to document, getDataObjectContents() seems to be used to read external files (which I assume Acrobat treats docs in a portfolio/collection as an attachment and that's why Joel's code works? I am unclear on this though). At this point, I am lost... how can I get the doc(s) I want to be inserted into a portfolio? I thought it would be a lot easier than what this has turned out to be, and unfortunately there isn't a plethora of resources on the subject. Sorry, I've been working on this for four days, and keep spinning my wheels. Thank you in advance for any help or pointers you could offer.

You probably are too new to ObjectOrientated languages and JavaScript.
The sample code you provided does not include the other functions that Joel is using to populate an an array variable whose elements or cells contain the object name for the opened PDF files.
The line of code:
var docs = trustedActiveDocs();
Calls the "trustedActiceDocs" function. This function uses Acrobat's app.activeDoc object array to populate the "docs" variable.
And there are even more supporting functions that Joel has declared as part of the entire script file.

Require sample files and xsd

Hi All,
I need sample files and its xsd for Invoice, Ack PO and Shipment for both X12 and EDIFACT. If anyone has it please share them.
Basically, we are looking to convert OAG standard to X12 and EDIFACT and vice versa. For writing XSLT, we need the sample files...

Hi Praveen,
You can generate these using document editor for any required document revision/Type.

Opening a .pdf in a Portfolio causes pop up "For best experienc use Acrobat 9 or Reader 9 or later."

I created a portfolio. In it is a converted Word doc .pdf with links to two other .pdf's that are inside the same portfolio. The other two .pdf's open normally when clicked on. The one with the links gives me a pop up message when the icon is clicked that is supposed to open one of the other .pdf's.
"For best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." It shows as a cover sheet in the upper left hand corner. What is causing this and how do I turn that off so it opens the linked .pdf's normally?

Well, that's not my intention anyway unless I inadvertantly did something else by accident. My goal is:
Take a .docx with two pdf's embedded and convert it to a .pdf
Create a portfolio with the first .pdf in it and two other .pdf's in it as well.
Link the two icons in the first pdf to the the two other pdf's in the portfolio
This is so the user can open the first one and then only click on the icon to open the other pdf it's linked to. This is for part number control purposes so it must be this way. One part number = one pdf, the other part number = the other pdf.
I would be willing to email my original files to someone and have them try putting them together. It's not really confidential information, just not something I would want out on the web either though. I appreciate your patience with me on this. I've done it in the past but I have a new PC with W7 and fresh install of Acrobat 9 so I can't figure out what is different or why it's behaving this way. Also, now I can't reply to this thread with IE10 and had to switch over to Chrome to add this.

No Close button when PDF viewed in browser using Slideshow view

I have a powerpoint presentation that has hyperlinks to pdf documents on the web. When I save this powerpoint presentation to html format on my web server and go to that presentation, there is a View Slideshow button in the bottom right corner. If I click the View Slideshow button, the browser window goes full screen with no toolbars (just as it would if ran in powerpoint). The catch is that if I click on a hyperlink to a pdf document, the adobe reader window also opens fullscreen with no browser window around it. Therefore, you cannot go back to the powerpoint and you cannot close the pdf document.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent the pdf from opening in this slideshow window.

First, Osgood is correct about the flash, go here for a tutorial.
http://www.projectseven.com/support/answers.asp?id=127
Second, try adding cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" to your tables, that should get you there.
Third, trying to set a height in a table just gets discarded with content, (unless you create a CSS rule otherwise). Your table height is going to be a slave to the amount of content.
What you might want to try is to move the content about signing up for the Newsletter and move it into a cell next to your main content, that should even things out a bit.
Give those a try and see where you are.

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content, but if printed from single 3D PDF file everything is fine. I need batch printing (this is the reason I use portfolio) of large amount of 3DPDF files because of the need to have proper preview of these files in browsers. Any ideas or workarounds how to have preview pdf's or jpg's of the single paged 3D PDF files, keeping relevant file names?

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

Problems appending email pdfs to existing portfolios using Outlook plugin.

I'm trying to use the outlook pdfmaker plugin that comes with Acrobat X Pro to append Outlook 2010 emails to an existing portfolio. I'm getting this error: "PDFMaker cannot append to the selected Adobe PDF archive because it was not created in Outlook PDFMaker." Surely there must be some way to store emails with the rest of the files in an existing portfolio created without the plugin. Otherwise this is a showstopper. The whole point of a portfolio is to collect all of the files for a project in one place! I don't want to have one portfolio containing all the emails and another portfolio containing all of the rest of the files. That would be dumb.
I thought that I could achieve a paperless office by scanning snail mail and other files to pdf and collecting them in correspondence portfolios on my hardrive. My plan was to append emails to the previously-created correspondence portfolios as the emails are received. I can't believe I can't do this!

The problem stems from the order in which you are performing the tasks. The Portfolios that are created by Outlook and Lotus notes collect specific metadata that corresponds to the particular email format. These fields do not exist in Portfolios created by simply combining files into a Portfolio in Acrobat, and can't be created after the fact. So that's the cause. You can think of it them as "email Portfolios" and "regular Portfolios."
As far as a solution, since you don't appear to be relying on those metadata fields, anyway, the most expedient workaround would be to go ahead and convert your Outlook 2010 email to a temporary Portfolio, then drag the individual files outside of the Portfolio to a temporary location. Then, open your existing Portfolio, which doesn't contain the metadata fields, and drag your Outlook email from the temporary location into the Portfolio. Problem solved. The appearance of the PDF-converted email remains unchanged, and the files are now in the single location you were ultimately after.
For more sophisticated manipulation of PDF-converted email Portfolios, including attachments, you could look into a third party plug-in from Evermap called AutoPortfolio. It possesses some very powerful, flexible functionality in that regard.
Disclosure: I have no affiliation of any kind with Evermap, but did address the use of several of their products in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide."
Hope that helps!

Storing and converting videos and slideshows (Mac OS)

hi all, new user here.
i have a host of files with some coming from my PC days and am currently using Aperture to store and create m4v and mov files.
right now i have AVI, mpg, mp4, PDF etcetera etcetera that i am trying to organize. when i doubleclick on some of these files they open in AME and i am guessing this means that i need to associate the file type with some other software or if i should convert them to a more convenient format such as mov or m4v which Aperture recognizes. so right now these files are just sitting in a file folder in various formats since Aperture does not appear very good at recognizing some of these video formats.
i would like to /store/ this data in a database or in software that will allow me to get it all organized and i am wondering if Bridge is a good place to do this or if user recommend LR or if there is in fact an adobe product to get this data organized.
i think ideally i would put all images and slideshows and videos in one place but i am guessing this means i would have to convert my videos to some file format (say mov or m4v for Aperture) so i am also wondering if this is a good way to go and if Adobe Media Encoder is the proper tool for this.
any sage advice is really welcome.
P.S. i also have PDF and EPS which both don't seem to play nice with aperture.

Although there sometimes are problems with certain video files Bridge is the correct application to start for organizing your files. You can use the filter panel to only show certain file types, you can rename, rate and label the files, etc etc.
Some video files should be able to play in the preview window. It pays multiple pages PDF also in the preview window although there can be problems with PDF from InDesign showing all content.
You can use the folder panel for easy drag and drop files in different folders.
Anyway, before experimenting make sure to have a proper back up of your files and then start playing around freely to learn more about Bridge.
