PDFs with Navigation for Kindle or Android

Hello,
I created a large PDF in Word, and added navigation functions in Acrobat (a linked TOC, links to specific maps, etc.). It functions great in the Kindle using certain PDF readers. But the Back to Last Location button does not work. It is done through "Execute a menu item" then View>Page Navigation>Previous View.
I am using Acrobat X. Can anyone help with this? 
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the speedy reply! My specific problem is not navigation to a specific page though – but something that takes the reader back to the last page they viewed, which could be 50 pages away. Say, I have a link on page 4 to a map on page 20, the reader clicks the link and goes to page 20. Checks the map, then wants to return to where they were reading before. I could rig it to go back to page 4 only with the Go to Page View function, right? But if someone clicked a second link to that map from page 37, then hit the Last Location button, it would only take them to page 4.
Does that make sense? I’m not really very technical, obviously! ☺
Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Need Help with Navigation for an Online Art Gallery

    I am trying to create a web site for an online art gallery.
    I am new to DW8 and I have been reading several books,
    forums, etc trying to figure out how to build a simple and elegant
    navigation system.
    I have successfully built simple navigation using a frame set
    as the index.html page. I have successfully built and incorporated
    the art gallery using Photo Assist (Photo Assist is a DW8 extension
    that creates photo albums using AJAX). The gallery.html page built
    with Photo Assist has thumbnail browsing and a slideshow mechanism.
    Photo Assist also uses CSS that I have been able to modify for my
    personal tastes in terms of creating a simple and elegant user
    interface for the gallery section of the web site.
    My index.html frame set consists of navFrame.html and
    mainDisplayFrame.html pages. I created a navigation button (using
    Fireworks 8) that links the gallery.html as its source and targets
    mainDisplayframe.html.
    My plan was to just add about 5 or 6 more navigation buttons
    and target the mainDisplayFrame.html from each navigation button to
    display some static information.I think the site looks fairly good
    except that the frame set requires scroll bars when browsed with
    800 x 600 screen resolutions. I thought that I could just use
    'layers' instead of a frame set, but there is not a "target"
    mechanism when usings layers.
    At the end of the day, I would prefer to just use one web
    page for displaying the navigation and all of my other web pages
    including the gallery.html page. I think I have the right idea but
    I can't seem to get a good handle on a navigation system that is
    better than a frame set.
    My online art gallery that is under construction is:
    http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/tburak/
    Photo Assist 1.0.1 DW extension URL is:
    http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=108
    Please note that I am not a web designer that has deep
    knowledge of HTML, CSS, javascript, server side stuff, etc. I do
    know a little bit about C++ and Java programming and a little bit
    about html tags, and also a little bit about how CSS works. Beyond
    that, I am pretty much a point and click type of web page builder.
    My real expertise is more or less on photographing and digitizing
    the art.
    I should mention that I eventually want to build in PayPal
    eCommerce if at all possible, but I realize I might not have the
    skills to do so.
    Any help, suggestions and comments are very much
    appreciated.

  • Creating PDFs with links for web searches

    Hi everyone. That title is not exactly the problem I'm having, but it's a good start.
    We have found that Firefox/IE/Chrome search our PDFs quite nicely, but when the link is clicked in the search results, all that happens is that the PDF opens to page 1. Users have to search again to find what they're looking for. Perhaps that is just how such a search is supposed to happen, but it seems that I've seen somewhere that a PDF opened to the page with the search term on it.
    What can we add to the FrameMaker source files or the PDF (before it's posted to the web) to ensure that a search link takes the user precisely to the text being searched for? We're TCS3 with unstructured FM but might soon be, um, strongly encouraged to switch to the structured version.
    I've looked through the FM and Acrobat forums for an answer, to no avail.
    Thanks for the help!

    > I wonder whether it's a limitation of the search engine, rather than FM or Acrobat.
    That would be my guess. Search engines probably cannot search many PDFs in the raw at all (you don't have to turn on much security to turn a PDF binary into an encrypted mess). But if the PDF allows reading and/or printing, they can render the whole thing, and index what's displayed. The named destinations may not be recovered in that process, plus, you're not always assured that there will be an ND nearby everything you're indexing.
    Adobe might even provide some APIs that would allow deeper linking into PDFs as a search result, but it may also be that few enough have useful NDs that it just isn't worth the bother to look. NDs inflate the size of the PDF, so many publishers don't turn them on (we don't, and probably won't, until we need deliberate deep linking).
    If you want the info to be accessible like a web page, you multi-flow to HTML or a similar non-atomic format as well.

  • How can I open pdfs with Acrobat directly from Firefox (Android)?

    I would like to open pdfs directly with the Acrobat reader app, without downloading it (& saving it in the downloads folder). When I open a pdf, FF offers me several apps or a download, but not the Acrobat Reader, also Acrobat it mentioned as the standard application for opening pdfs.

    The file must be downloaded for Adobe reader to be able to display the file. There is no way to display any file without downloading it.

  • NEED HELP with Keyboard for Yoga 2 Android Tablet

    I have just spent more than an hour talking with Lenovo Sales/Customer Service tying to find out why the Yoga tablet I bought my son for Christmas doesn't have a keyboard (I purchased the tablet directly from Lenovo). 
    http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/lenovo/yoga-tablet-series/yoga-tablet-2-10/
    I called sales 4 times and each time I get a different answer: they are out of the keyboard, buy the keyboard from BestBusy or Amazon, there is no keyboard (even though it is pictured), it will have a keyboard but no one knows when.
    I did buy the keyboard I was told by a chat with Lenovo from Amazon but it is not the correct keyboard and now I'm stuck with a tablet without a keyboard and keyboard without a tablet.
    Customer Service won't help saying it's a sales problem and Sales says there is nothing they can do and transfers me to Customer Service.  It is infuriating. 
    My son is so dissappinted. He only wanted this tablet because it came with a keyboard (we thought) and he can use it at school.  We will likely return the tablet if it was misrepresented on the Lenovo webiste.
    Does anyone know if and when the keyboard will be available? 

    The keyboard is also supposed to be a cover s seen in the photos. We bought the tablet because it clearly shows a keyboard case if not included at least available.
    I was willing to purchase the keyboard cover but first Lenovo sales said they were out and said to purchase the keyboard (also Lenovo) at BestBuy instead but it turned out to be the wrong keyboard (not the one in the picture - too big, falls off and likely to break). Then I was told by someone else in customer service there was no keyboard and the picture is of the prototype.  Then I was told by someone else in sales that there may be one coming out in the future but no one knows when and how much it will be.
    Today I had to spend more than an hour being bounced around and not getting an answer. We really want the keyboard as shown in the picture. Unfortunately because we thought the folks in sales knew about the tablet, we bought the wrong keyboard at their instruction and now it can't be returned.

  • Cant open any old pdf with the adobe acrobat dc [Android]

    I recently updated my adobe reader to adobe acrobat dc and since then I cannot open any old pdf files in my phone. The new ones I download open just fine,  but the old ones have just disappeared. The only files I can see are those I have downloaded after updating the app and listed in the Recent page.
    I tried open my old pdf files by clicking on the floating folder icon in the Recent page, which brings me to my downloads folder in my phone. After clicking on an old pdf file, a dialogue will open saying that adobe will create a local copy of the document. After I click continue, it will say that the file cannot be accessed, and ask me to check the location or the network (the pdf files were those the app listed on the downloads folder on my phone). I have also tried to open them from my phone's own download manager. It will first tell me the file cannot be found, in which I will redownload it, but then the app says that it can't be opened because it is not a valid pdf file. How can that be true when it opened just fine before I updated the app?  All my old pdf files are also not detected automatically by the app, which was the one feature I loved so much about the old version of Adobe reader. What must I do to open my old pdf files that are in my phone?
    my phone is a Samsung galaxy s4.

    Are you trying to open the documents from the Downloads tab as shown below?
    If that is the case, it is possible you are trying to open the files which were previously downloaded and no longer exist on your device. To open the files which actually exist on your device, you can go to the Internal Storage tab which exists below the Download tab. The Internal storage tab will show the folders available. Go to the downloads folder in the internal storage tab and then to the 'Adobe Reader' or 'Adobe Acrobat' folder and you can find the files there.
    Thanks.

  • Export a pdf to a swf file with navigation buttons???

    I have CS4 and I've tried to export a couple indesign files using the swf export feature, but it the navigation of the file is very weak and not very intuitive, and when you zoom in to any of the text the text goes fuzzy.
    I would like to just convert a PDF to SWF file with navigation buttons, page controls, zoom in/out, single or two page view options, so that my end user can view it with the free flash player, but I don't have time to build the file in Flash and I don't want to use an online service that comes with a per month or per publication fee.
    Any suggestions??

    I've looked at that, but most of the pdf's that I need to convert are more than 10 pages.  I want a program I can download, install and use without a per use cost, or per publication cost.
    I'm looking more for a plug-in for either Acrobat, or Indesign or stand alone program that would convert them without adding copyrights, or ads to the file.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

    Hello there,
    I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer.  From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI.  I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it. 
    Thanks!
    Masaya

    Hi there,
    Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported.  Could anyone let me know?  Thank you.

  • I am done with Verizon for their inability to update Android in a timely manner. When my contract is up, after 10 years, I am gone.

    Verizon,
    Nobody.. and I mean NOBODY is buying your crap. You don't update to the latest software in a timely manner. The entire planet has the KitKat update for Android and you don't under the guise of better experience. That is crap, everyone else can do it but you, you are inept.
    Additionally, you are the most expensive by far and the guise of biggest network. I really don't care about the biggest network, I use a very small percentage of it so this is no excuse.  AND if you are the biggest how come EVERY carrier can beat you on price and get updates out faster?
    Your new tiered plans "Family Share" crap.
    I do how you still charge me for data, voice, and text.. even though at the end of the day these are all just data packets across your network. I love being charged three times for the same service though.
    You want to really be the best, then change your ways.. but I am done waiting around for you.. this contract ends and I am gone.

    After 20 yes TWENTY YEARS being with Verizon I to am done with their cell phone business. I have had nothing but problems with my "new" Droid, which I was "steered" to by a tech who told me what I should have not what I chose, my weakness was to still trust the employee had the best interest of their customer at heart. Brewhahaha! Boy what a error that was on MY part. I got a phone that has been defective from the moment I turned it ON.
    I first had home service with Verizon for many years...then wifi....then the bundle. Great, all I can say is as this company has grown, they have fallen apart on their customer service and their policies. Their nothing more than yet another CORPORATE mentality company whose bottom line is PROFIT.
    My droid arrived, it would not hold a charge...it would not always take a preference I chose...it would change things on preferences on it's own (wondering if my phone is like that car in the movie "CHRISTINE")  and was encouraged to keep using it, I just either didn't understand the "smart phone" ...or my age was allowing them to think I could no longer learn to use anything other than a rotary phone.  One tech actually told me to take the battery out and reset the phone, hmmm...sure right and ruin the phone? RIGHT...who trains these people???
    Verizon is no longer any resemblance of the once good company it just to be.
    Today my day was horrible. (your just lucky I told blab on about the last three months dealing with them!)
    Having just spent the majority of my day being transffered from one department to the next (seems they now have to transfer you if there is something as simple as adding an e mail to the order that was cancelled in error by the way to replace the lousy dysfunctional Droid I got) no one person can do what ever your account needs. Half way through my completely messed up day, I got so tired of this syrupy fake responses telling me to have a wonderful day and enjoy the rest of my day..and it was a pleasure to serve me.... after way to many transfers to other departments...they started sounding like they were recorded bots...or flight attendants. I just had to ask them if they served peanuts and cold drinks. HARD LIQUOR?
    So now I am waiting for my "reburbished" droid. (again)..checked on why I had not gotten it...it was cancelled flagged by "fraud". WHATTT?  Fourth time I have ordered something and this has happened, and no e mail asking me to contact them. I live in a senior gated community and they are trying to tell me "someone in your gated community attempted to commit fraud" so MY order gets flagged. (half the seniors in this gated community are half dead the others are either in Palm Springs or traveling...and the one who are slightly mobile...might not remember how to even get to the mail room .and back to their house..granted UPS requires I SIGN for the phone...but impossible since they flagged and did not send the phone out. So, here I sit, wondering after three months of dealing with these (not so funny) clowns and gain absolutely NO satisfaction, except to say....adios...when my contract ends.  AT&T hopefully is better, but who knows..this phone situation may be the death of me yet..and in the end VERIZON will not longer have to waste their time or mine transferring me to try to get a 1. working phone  2.  my order actually processed correctly  3. have to re-educate their techs.
    I no longer TRUST Verizon, I no longer believe they have the interest of their customers at heart. (what heart?)  and about the only thing I don't understand is they sell me a phone, then a package to buy time...but also $30.00 a month  fee to connect to their lines? Shouldn't that rather come with the package deal??
    Signed..done with Verizon squeezing me two ways to Sunday.  I just hope some other company  comes in with a plan to beat the socks off these top providers of cell services in the states...and I'd like to just sit back and watch the huge exodus  of people leaving. The pickens are ripe to do just that.

  • What is the issue? When printing a 30x42 drawing PDF with 5 pages. The first drawing prints properly, but none of th eothers do. IF I print each separately, by selecting "current page" they print fine. Oh this is for Acrobat XI Standard.

    RE Acrobat XI Standard. When printing a 30x42 Drawing PDF with more than 1 page only the first page prints properly the rest are not the proper size or centered. Did I miss a setting? For now I can work around it by printing each page using the "Current Page" setting, but this delays me when there is more than 20 pages etc..

  • Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

    Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them
