Portfolio inside a portfolio

Is it possible to insert an entire pdf portfolio on a page of another pdf porfolio?

i think it is. Add files. Portfolio is a .pdf format so i don't see why it wouldn't.
try.

How do I print a list of files inside a portfolio?

I have been using Acrobat to make portfolios of pdf's for a short while. I would like to print a list of the files inside the portfolio. tx

A custom JavaScript to write the report:
function ProtfolioContents() {
var bResult = false;
// make sure there are data objects
if (this.dataObjects != null) {
// create report
var rep = new Report();
rep.size = 1.7;
rep.color = color.black;
// title for report
rep.writeText("Summary of files within the PDF portfolio: " + this.documentFileName + "\n");
// what is reported
rep.writeText("Format : [index] [filename] [description] [size] [MIME Type\n\n");
//get the objects
var d = this.dataObjects;
rep.indent(20);
rep.color = color.blue;
// for each item
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
// write line of report
rep.writeText(i + ": " + d[i].name + " : " + d[i].description + ' | ' + util.printf("%,0 .0f bytes", d[i].size) + ' | ' + d[i].MIMEType )
// end of report detail
rep.color = color.black;rep.
writeText("\n -- END OF LIST --");
// open the report
var docRep = rep.open("members_of_" + this.documentFileName);
bResult = true;
} // end for loop of dataObjects of portfolio
} // end PortfolioContents
if( ! ProtfolioContents() ) app.alert('Must not be in PDF');

Opening a linked Document in a Portfolio closes the Portfolio

Hello
I created a Portfolio (with XI Pro) that contains to PDF files – A and B. I created a hyperlink from A to B according to http://forums.adobe.com/message/3560959 that opens B at the desired page. That works fine.
When I open the two files individually from the Portfolio the container remains in the background and comes to front when I close A and/or B (as desired). However, when I open file B using the link in file A the Portfolio container gets closed.
Is there any possibility that the Portfolio container stays in the background when using the hyperlink?
Thank you and kind regards
Albert

Don't buy a M…soft product, use the free openOffice or the free neoOffice.

Com.adobe.portfolio.api and Portfolio Framework API

Hello, Experts
once PDF Portfolio SDK is connected to Flash Builder ( via plugins ), they should be available without any additional actions ?
I downloaded documentations for both, but could not view neither ...
is there any articles that could help to work with them ?
-Al

Hi,
Have you an API Navigator version to Visual Studio 2010?

Is there a way to tell if a pdf is a portfolio without the Portfolio SDK installed?

I am developing a plugin that I do not want active when the document is a Portfolio. Is there a way to determine if a pdf is a Portfolio using only the Adobe Acrobat SDK?
Thanks,

The Portfolio SDK is for BUILDING Portfolios – it doesn’t tell you anything about whether one is (or is not) a Portfolio.
I believe there is a PDDocIsCollection() API that will answer this question.

Error in XRPM Portfolio Management- My Portfolio Object screen

Hi All,
The upgradation has been done from XRPM 4.0 to XRPM 4.5.
In, XRPM 4.0, in the Portal screen, under Portfolio management role the workset name was Item Management but after the upgradation to XRPM 4.5, this workset has been changed and named as My Portfolio Objects.
Now, when i click on this My Portfolio Objects link under Portfolio Management, i'm getting below error -
Configure link to show as startup page Change Portfolio
Now, i checked spro->sap xrpm->global customization->process & service setting->define navigation but it seems all the links are present there.
Please help whether i need to do anything from Portal side or need to do something from backend?
Appreciate your help.
Best Regards,
Sen

Hi Ken
The problem was with the port number i had given in system alias ("Connector") ... check out what is the port number you have given in SAP_XSS system alias..you should give the same port number as the one in ur portal URL and it should not be 8000...
also after this i reconfigured UWL to make sure it doesnt give any surprises;-)
let me know if this works....
cheers

Setting Hyperlinks in PDF Portfolio

Hi all,
I have the following question concering Acrobat Portfolios in Verion X on Windows:
The Portfolio is used for large summaries with lots of documents and folders. I need to set hyperlinks from one document to another, which basically works, but I cannot set the hyperlink to a document in a different folder structure inside the Portfolio.
Am I missing something or does it not work.
Thanks for replies in advance

Moving PDFs to a portfolio changes the directory structure between the PDFs, so you have to manually edit all of the links between the files within the portfolio.

Links within portfolio not working for me

Acrobat 9; Word2007;XP
I gave up trying to have links correctly transfer from msword to pdfs. So I am manually creating each one in the portfolio i'm building.
Problem:   The links are not preserved after I save the portfolio and re-open it.
Setup: I have a single portfolio with a structure of folders, subfolders and pdf files (all the files in the portfolio are pdf)
             The links I'm referring to are all within the individual pdf files. They link to other pdf s within the portfolio (pdf-2-pdf). There are no external links.
             The link control is a small button image.
Link creation.   1. The way I create a link is to open acrobat 9 in modify/edit mode. Do tools>advanced editing>link tool.
                          2.   I drag the crosshair over the image and get a 'go to page/set link' popup.
(the old link is usually some localhost link via some temp folder that drills down to the original source file. I have to delete this old link before A 9 will give me the new 'set link' option)
                         3.   with the set-link panel visible, I open the file I want to be a target set the position, zoom, etc. while that file is open; then press the set-link button.
                         4.   I close the open pdf and return to the porfolio view with the source page and link on it.
Results:       The links work fine as long as I stay in the portfolio. If I save it and close out of acrobat and then reopen and load the portfolio, the links are pointing to the original external source files and don't work.
Problem - I'm obviously missing something. I'd have thought links to files inside the portfolio would be local to the portfolio. It's what I need them to be. When the portfolio is sent, it's not going to be dragging the original files along with it - pdf or msword ( i hope not). So what gives? What do I fail to understand? How do I correct the problem. (one question really - I just broke it down into parts.. ?=).
I'd sure love to know what the heck is going on.
(ps I have checked my settings creating the pdfs and they were set to convert bookmarks, save urls and anything else I could find that remotely resembled something useful. I also have red Joel's tips. Nothing helpful there. )

Hmm...I think I see the confusion.
In the black and red samples, we use one XML file to list the
galleries whilch then loads each individual photos.xml file.
My photo album tutorial just uses one photos.xml file. I make
one dataset to get the images and another dataset to get the
photographer info.
So go one step at a time. Take gallery_finished.htm and add
your photos and thumbs to the folders.
Then replace your XML file with the existing one. Open in the
browser and it should work. Make sure that your XML nodes are the
same as the sample one.
The page you have now shows that 'photos.xml' is in the same
folder as gallery_finished.htm. So make sure your path is correct.
Either move the XML file to the same folder or edit
gallery_finished.htm so that the path to the XML file is correct.
I know that quick success is important for keeping with a
project, at least for me. So we want to get this working for you.
Hope this helps,

Cross-linking to other pdfs within portfolio

Does anyone know how I can make a link to point to an individual pdf file within a portfolio that is separate from the pdf file that's linking to it, also in the same portfolio?
I have a Portfolio containing 1) a folder of individual pdf files and 2) another folder containing a huge monster pdf.
I would like to link from the monster to the individual files so that someone using it can open up one file at a time via the monster - but can't seem to do this using just the portfolio.
On my desktop on my Mac, I have a folder that contains the monster folder, the individual files folder, and the portfolio itself.
But creating links on the monster to the individual has to be done within the monster pdf and then uploaded to the portfolio, right?
Making a link to go to a page view or to open a file requires me to point to the individual pdf file within the folder on my desktop and not in the portfolio. Unless I'm totally missing something.
I could include the folder of individual files separately along with the portfolio, but that defeats the whole purpose of including everything into the portfolio.
Anyone have experience doing something similar?
I am using Acrobat Pro 9 for mac.
Thanks in advance!

To edit a member document inside a Portfolio you have to open it (using the Open File link on the toolbar) - when it's previewing on a card you are just looking at a JPEG image.
It's all rather messy but Adobe don't allow access to the regular tools if the Portfolio mode is active, so..
Open your Portfolio
Open the file in which the link is to be created (right-click the card or use the toolbar button)
Use the Link tool to draw the active area
Select "go to a Page View" and click OK.
While the mini-dialog is active, switch back to the window with the Portfolio in it.
Open the destination file (again with the right-click or toolbar button).
Choose the page and click to fire the Link tool's mini-dialog.
Close the target file.
Save and close the source file.
Save the Portfolio.
If you're doing hundreds of links, set aside a week.

How do you open link to a file contained in a PDF portfolio in a new window?

I am making a large PDF portfolio with one main document that links to other documents contained inside the portfolio. The problem is when I select a link, it will take me to the document I would like it to but I cannot move back to the main document as easily as I would like to. Is there a fast "back" option, or can I set the link to open in a new window? I know I can move to the list view, hit the back button, re-open the main document, and find the same page again but that is not a very quick method.
I know how to set the link to open in a new window if I am opening a new file, but that option is not available if I would like to jump to a specific page contained within the document. I tried to "open a file" and select the portfolio but it won't allow me to set the page so that didn't work either. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi fmalek17,
Firstly, there is no such 'back' option in a portfolio. You might need to set a link in a similar way in the other document also for going back to the main document in a portfolio.
Secondly, you need to select 'Go to a page view' option in the Create Link window to jump to a specific page. Unfortunately, there is no such option available in Acrobat via which you can go to some specific page of the same document which gets opened in another window.

Anubha

Creating portfolios & forms in Acro 9 Pro

I currently create PDF print templates and have resulting forms printed manually, stored in a binder and completed by hand by users. (All done in Acrobat 3d (V7.1)
It looks like I can automate all of this BY UPGRADING AND using AAPro 9 by both creating electronic versions of the paper forms using the new Forms Designer, storing the resulting electronic forms in a Portfolio thus enabling users to fill out forms electronically "inside" each portfolio. I can then distribute portfolios TO USERS as though they were binders.
Is this how it works? Be obliged for any advice.
Also, can I password protect portfolios (even better, documents inside portfolios)?

I have the same question...can you password protect a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro? Did you ever
find out?

Portfolios: Review, Commenting, and Approval possible?

Is it possible to do reviewing, commenting, and approval for a PDF portfolio document? We were wanting to send out our deliverables to a client using the Portfolio feature to create one crisp document with all of our items inside of it, but it seems that the portfolio view doesn't have the same <Comment> tab that a normal PDF comes with.
Regards,
Scott

No, reviewing and commenting is not allowed on Portfolios. You need to open individual PDFs inside the portfolio and initiate review or perform commenting on them.

Portfolio editing in HTML

I made a html that references about 15 local pdf portfolios in Acrobat 9 Pro. This file is to be used in future years by others in my organization with only adobe reader. The users should be able to easily add and edit files in the portfolio. The html code, the pdf portfolios, and any other related documents are all local on one computer.
This worked just fine until a user with Adobe X tried it. Now when she opens the html, then opens the pdf portfolio inside internet explorer, she is unable to add files to the portfolios. When the user right clicks the drop down menu does not give the option to either Edit Portfolio or Add file.
This makes my entire HTML setup useless.
Is there a way to change a setting in Adobe or Internet Explorer to allow it to behave like it did in Adobe 9(as shown below), where one could easily edit the porftolio in internet explorer?
For further explanation:
I know i could nest the pdf portfolios inside a larger pdf portfolio. But there are so many documents, that it becomes very bulky and slow. Plus the html interface allows me to really customize the "Welcome" page, with other links and information.
I am not an expert in html code or adobe software, i just took a try at converting a process my organization normally does all in hard copy into an electronic format.
Thanks,
Mike

@GKaiseril: Unfortunately, i'm doing this with my hands tied behind my back. I can't install programs. If i can't find any other route though, i may end up having to try to wade into the messy waters of new software approval. I don't know the capabilities of the Adobe SDK, i wonder if it would allow me the option of changing how portfolio users are able to add files. Thanks for the advice anyways.

Extracting files out a PDF portfolio

This is my situation: I made a portfolio with several documents, including PDFs, DOCs and CHMs. Everything works the way it supposed to for PDFs and DOCs, I can read them and extract them, but not with the CHMs. I can't neither view or extract them, when I try to extract them it says "Acrobat no puede abrir el archivo adjunto porque la configuracion de archivos adjuntos PDF no permite abrir este tipo de archivo" which is something like "Acrobat can not open the attached file because the configuration of PDF attached files doesn't allow to open this type of file". The files are stuck inside the portfolio and I really need them back. My two-part question is: Is there a way to extract those files? and if not, What kind of files can be safely saved inside a portfolio?

CHM is a compiled help package for Windows, and as such is treated as a compressed archive by Acrobat. Compressed files are not permitted as members of a PDF portfolio, so they cannot be opened or extracted unless you edit your registry to override the security settings for Acrobat - something we don't advise, but if you search these forums there are a couple of posts that show the keys to edit.

File Drag and Drop in Portfolio

Is there any way to enable scrolling when dragging and dropping files into a folder that was created inside a Portfolio in the List View? When converting multiple files from folders, users want to maintain the organization of the files in the same folder hierarchy within a Porfolio. If dozens of files are converted, you cannot select a few files and drag them into a folder that is not in the view. Converting the folders individually is inefficient.

Hello,
I think you posted this question in the wrong forum: this is one of the Captivate forums and I do not see a relation to it, but can be wrong.
