Portfolio Navigator Developers for Acrobat X

I just purchased Acrobat X and would like to have a custom portfolio navigator developed. Can someone recommend some developers who are good at this? What is a reasonable price to pay for a custom navigator?

You may want to consider a "Job Offered" post to the Job Board forum at Adobe's Acrobat User Community.
http://acrobatusers.com/forum/job-board
The "how to" is described at: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/job-board
n.b., The Adobe Acrobat Portfolio SDK has only recently been available at Adobe Labs so it likely that those who have the Flex/Flash skills may still be involved with "in study" activities.
fwiw to any readers - Acrobat X SDK testers are being solicited.

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

Adding Navigation Buttons for Users of PDF Documents

The default for Acrobat Reader (and even the Pro version)
seems to leave the Forward and Back navigation buttons OFF the
Acrobat Reader tool bar. You have to deliberately go into the Tools
- Customize Tools menu and turn on these two buttons in order for
them to appear in the tool bar. This creates problems for readers
of your PDF documents if the readers of your documents aren't very
computer savy. If you have links in your PDF document so readers
can navigate around, not having the Forward and Back buttons up on
the tool bar as a default makes these links almost useless. The
reader has to know how to turn these two buttons on and some
readers may not have a clue how to do that.
My question: Is there a way to put 2 navigation buttons on a
reader's toolbar AUTOMATICALLY when they open your document--ie,
something embedded in the PDF doc that automatically turns these
buttons on for the reader so they don't have to do it
themselves?

OT: Macintosh Users: Beware the misleading advertising for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

An important message to Macintosh users who are considering purchasing Acrobat 9:
I am writing to let you Mac users know that the current marketing for Acrobat Pro is very confusing.
On the page for Acrobat Pro,
here.
there is a very enticing sidebar that says "Consider Upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended"
It outlines all the cool things that Extended can do. I had seen some publicity for Extended and so I immediately clicked that button to find out more about this version. It is a very compelling product that has a presentation application, 3D capabilities, and the form creation product Live Cycle Designer.
I was very excited about this product, when I was lucky to have checked the System Requirements for this product. And was amazed to find that this product is Windows only!
It is one thing to shove the Mac market off to the side as Acrobat has in the past. For instance, in the past, Acrobat products have provided features for Windows that were missing on the Mac.
But the current advertising borders on misleading advertising. Rather than just hide the Windows -only features under the same name as the Macintosh product, Adobe has come out with a Windows-only product that doesn't clearly state it is Windows only!
To publicize a product on a page that is cross platform and then make it very hard to find out that the product is Windows only is terrible. And I guarantee that this will lead to many people ordering something they can not use. And will be very angry about!
I have written to several people I know at Adobe to complain about this.
I would suggest that others use the Adobe-feedback page:
http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi
to tell Adobe how this makes you feel.
Meanwhile, I'm glad that I won't have to shell out the extra money for this Windows-only product.

Buko,
I appreciate your support, but it's even worse than you think.
Here are the features exclusive to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
Combine documents, drawings, e-mail, spreadsheets, and rich media including audio, video, 3D, and maps in a single, compressed PDF Portfolio.
b The Pro version does not support 3D.
Create interactive, on-demand presentations Use Adobe Presenter software now included with Adobe Acrobat® 9 Pro Extended software to liven up your slides with video, voice-over, demos, and interactive quizzes, and then output to PDF for reliable, cross-platform sharing.
b The Pro version does not contain Presenter.
This is the product I was most interested in.
Work with expanded 3D features Use new Adobe 3D Reviewer software to combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly; compare a revised design to an earlier version; measure and section on precise geometry; and create exploded views, animations, and balloons. Export your work to 2D vector or raster files or save as PDF.
b The Pro version does not support any 3D features.
View and interact with PDF maps Search, measure, and mark up geospatially enabled PDF maps. Discover the longitude and latitude by placing your cursor over a location. Measure PDF maps in kilometers or miles.
b The Pro version does not support the PDF maps features.
Create interactive forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
b The Pro version does not have the LiveCycle Designer application.
Finally, there is a feature mentioned in the Pro 9 Extended product that I cannot find in the Acrobat Pro 9 features:
Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for reliable, cross-platform sharing of video, animations, and applications in PDF documents. With native support for Adobe® Flash® technology, no additional media player is necessary for playback.
b But I can't definitely tell if this feature is in the Pro 9 version.
As you can see, there are quite a few compelling features in Pro Extended. And I guarantee it is
b only marketing, and not code,
that is keeping these features from the Mac market.

Documentation for Acrobat X Javascript?

Where is documentation for Javascript in Acrobat X? The help file mentions:
"For more information, see the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference on www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_javascript_en (PDF, English only).", but the linked page does not contain any information for Acrobat X.

I do not think there have been any changes to Acrobat JavaScript in Acrobat X, so all the documentation for Acrobat 9 should work. There is an SDK for Acrobat X Portfolios that might have some new JS objects.
I still reference the version 8 reference and the version 5 reference.

ES4 Assembler and portfolios' folders compatibility with Acrobat 9

I have the following problem: I'm producing a PDF Portfolio with some nested file and folders through Assembler WebAPI.
The portfolio is ok and works fine if opened with Acrobat XI, but the same portfolio is bugged if opened with Acrobat 9: all the package files are shown in the root directory and clicking (or right-clicking) on them causes a navigation to the (empty) directory specified in the DDX. There is also no way to open the package files.
(PDF Portfolios created with Acrobat 9 works fine in both versions, so isn't a problem related to my installation of Acrobat 9)
How can i make it works also in Acrobat 9? I'm defining a wrong DDX or it is a known bug?
The file should be distributed to clients who use Acrobat 9 and cannot install newer version due to company policies.
Example DDX (tried also many other forms, like using PDF source elements or defining a PackageFiles element with a file:/// source including subfolders, but the results in Acrobat 9 is always bugged):
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="output">
    <Portfolio>
      <Navigator source="MyNavigator" />
      <ColorScheme scheme="blueScheme" />
    </Portfolio>
    <Folder name="Folder1">
      <Folder name="Subfolder1">
        <PackageFiles source="source1.pdf" nameKey="source1.pdf">
          <File filename="source1.pdf" mimetype="application/pdf" />
        </PackageFiles>
        <PackageFiles source="source2.pdf" nameKey="source2.pdf">
          <File filename="source2.pdf" mimetype="application/pdf" />
        </PackageFiles>
      </Folder>
    </Folder>
</PDF>
</DDX>
Thanks.

I got the error msg translated:
Cannot read input data, some characters cannot be showed/printed.
I ran preflight and embedded the fonts and I'm hoping that fixes the problem. I haev no way of testing this. Does anyone know if I did the right thing or is there something else I should do?

What's a browser compability of JavaScript for Acrobat ?

I have a pdf with two fields that needs to be filled by user.
I am using a Javascript for Acrobat to display a prompt dialog asking user to enter a data. it works pefectly fine on my local computer, but whenever I open it using various browsers I am running into different problems:
Firefox: 20.0.0 No prompt dialog is showing up. Error (warning) message in developer's console: [09:49:17.064] Warning: TODO: unimplemented annotation type: FreeText
Safari: 6.0.4 Certificate is displayed sideways. No prompt dialog is showing up. No errors in the developer's console.
Chrome 26.0.1410.65 : works fine!
Opera 12.15 nothing shows up, no pdf, warning or anything else.
So it doesn't work on 3 out of 4 browsers that I checked.
My pdf is embedded into the following file.
http://uwf.edu/cde/mobileweb/certificate.cfm
Is there a way to make it work on those browsers?

Each of these browsers has its own PDF viewer. Some of them can optionally be set up, by the end user, to use Adobe Reader instead.
(Don't overlook Windows 8 IE10, which defaults to running Windows 8 Reader.)
And don't overlook the mobile browsers on iPad, iPhone, Android...
Now each piece of software works, or doesn't, according to the designs and errors of their own developers. It would be a useful and helpful project if someone compared whether these viewers support interactive forms, and JavaScript, and if so what part works... but I have never seen the results of such a project. There are other pitfalls: Mac Preview, and hence Mac Safari, will fill a form but return a form which appears blank.
You might try insisting that your users use Adobe Reader.

Error (150:30) for Acrobat Pro 9.3 and PS 3 & 4 CS

I just had a very nice call with a support person at the 800 number, but I thought that I would still post my problem in the hopes that it might still help move towards a solution.
I lost use of Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 back in early June when I updated my MAC OS to Lion (OS X 10.7.4). After I upgraded to Lion, Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 stopped working and started giving me a notice saying, "Suite Product Activation Needed".
I unistalled the program and then reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 from the orginal Adobe CS 5 Design Standard disk. At that point I found that the reinstall still did not work and had created an additional set of problems. I stopped working on this because I was leaving my main office for the summer and figured that I would survive short term with Adobe Reader. I also figured a patch would present itself given enough time.
Now that I am back, I've found the time to revisit this. I am wondering if I somehow missed an opportunity to fix this because Lion upgraded to Mountain Lion and I upgraded the Mac OS before finding a fix for Acrobat.
I spent most of yesterday working on this and this is what I found:
1) I cannot not upgrade Acrobat Pro at all. It is stuck on version 9.3.0. This is important because I saw 9.5.2 was released and, if it has a patch, I cannot use it because I can't get back to 9.5.1.
2) I have been all over the boards looking for a solution. I did find the Support Document #51260 (which phone support directed me to as well). This document, "Error 'Licensing has stopped working'|MAC OS", outlines fixes up through Lion, but has not been updated to Mountion Lion.
3) From document #51260, I went ahead and downloaded LicenseRecoveryLauncher to have it. The problem, however, is this is a PowerPC app and Mounton Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps.
4) Because of document #51260, I tried opening my older Photoshop programs from CS 4 and CS 3. I get the same (150:30) notice with Photoshop CS4 ver 11.0.2 and just a notice saying that Licensing has topped working with Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1.
5) Since I'm writing this, I find that I am getting the same Licensing notice for Illustartor CS 3 & 4 and In Design CS 3 & $.
6) The one program that I can use is Photoshop CS 5 Version 12.0.4
As I said earlier, I am wondering if I didn't miss a window of some sort to fix this by not seeing the fix for Lion as described in Document #51260. I am also wondering if the problems are related to the fact the Mac no longer supports PowerPC apps.
Regardless, the problem of not being able to run Acrobat Pro 9 still exists for me and the current fix document does not solve the issue for Mountain Lion. Is there an updated fix that does?
I am running:
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X 10.8.1 (12B19))
PS - I tried downloading Acrobat 9.5.1 and when I click on the installer I get a warning message saying "AcroProUpd951_all" is an application froman unkown source and am I sure that I want to open it. I did open it, but it does not run a program. It takes me to Mac HD/users/My User Name/Documents/Acrobat User Data and then there is nothing to select. I can't even slect the Acrobat Pro Icon in the apps folder. My web browser is Firefow 15.0

I need the proper settings for Acrobate Reader 9.3 to be backward compatable to open PDF 6.0.

I have a full license for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. I just got off the phone with Acrobat technical support about once you install Acrobat Reader 9 to read documents online using Internet Explorer and Firefox. That it would make documents that were scanned in with CapturePerfect3.0 and a Cannon document scanner using Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 saved in PDF format and stored as images with records stored with Access Database front-end and SQL Server backend. Simple 6.0 PDF documents stored scanned documents in a database. O.K.! The problem is once you upgrade to read newer version of Acrobat PDF documents that our staff must read online, it makes reading saved database 6.0 PDF documents unreadable. Technical support informs me that it is a settings fix in Acrobat Reader 9 but because the Acrobat Reader 9 is a free download that can't tell me how to fix the settings.
So here I am trying to find out the proper settings in Acrobat Reader 9 to read new Acrobat documents online and old 6.0 Acrobat PDF documents on Windows XP Pro workstations and one Windows 7 workstation of the CEO's assistant. So please help me with the proper setting for Acrobat Reader 9 to work online reading newer PDF documents and still read Acrobat 6.0 documents stored in a database.

Adobe Reader 9 can open old and new pdf files.

Create a Navigational Hierarchy for filtering with the Table API

Please Advice.

Hi Kenneth,
please have a look in the source of the executed Web Application. What is inside of the <div> with the id filter?
You should also find a td tag with id hier_xyz with xyz the filter inside of the <div>-Tag with id filter.
Also check whether you have a javascript error.
Have a look on the Javascript function set_style. Perhaps you can paste it here, than I can have a look.

Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac? I get an error message. I click the download: "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him! Thanks, Pete

Hey PetaPete,
There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
Note:
1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.

How do I Install a PDF Printer Manually for Acrobat 6.0 Pro

My PDF Printer disappeared from my printer list. How can I manually re-install it? I tried following the directions given to another user for Acrobat 10.0 in this forum but was not successful with my 6.0 version. Can anyone help please? I really need my PDF Printer.

A repair can be done from the Help>Repair menu (at least I think that AA6 can do that). Sometimes the repair can be done from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, but you may need the CD in this case. You might also try just updating AA6 (now at 6.0.6) either from the help menu or by downloading the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows (similar for MAC). For the downloads, be sure to install them in order and probably disable antivirus during the updates. You generally do not have to reboot until you have completed all of the updates.

Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. How can I find it?

Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. Where can I find it, and what file is it? (Yes, it's an old Distiller that came with Acrobat 5. So shoot me. But I do need the driver.)
Win 7 prompted me for an *.inf file. Any idea?
If I find the original Acrobat 5 CD, which .inf would it be?
(Hey, since I'm asking, also a driver that will work on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.)
Thanks.

There is no .inf file on the Acrobat 5 CD that you can use to create a “driver.” If Distiller 5 even installs and runs on Windows 7 x64, the plumbing that came with Acrobat 5 to automatically feed PostScript files created by the PostScript driver to Distiller simply won't work with modern versions of Windows or any 64-bit version of Windows.
FWIW, Acrobat 5 is five full versions back from the current version. And no, we won't shoot you; you are effectively doing that to yourself! Your time must be worth something?!?!

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Acrobat 10 and plug-ins for Acrobat 9 incompatibility?

Hi,
Today I've installed trial version of Acrobat 10 to check if my plug-in for Acrobat 9 could run for it as well. But after Acrobat 10 launch I've got a window:
Acrobat.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because MSVCP80.dll was not found.
Quick check over plug-ins shipped now inside Acrobat 10 showed me that they are using now MSVCP90.DLLL library instread of MSVCP80.dll used for Acrobat 9.
Does it mean that we need to recompile our source code with higher version of MS Visual Studio? If so - what version should we use?
Does it also mean that our plug-ins prepared for Acrobat 9 are incompatible with Acrobat 10 or there is some way they could still run without recompilation?
Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.

I always prefer to use shared libraries, i.e. DLLs, in their supposed shared way and not statically embedded into my executable if I know that some environment is pretty stable and customer is aware of various possible DLLs dependencies. If Acrobat could do some job for me - then I'm happy with that without allocation of additional memory/resources needed in case of static linking.
So, you don't answer my question. What C++ compiler's version should be used to put MSVCP90.DLL reference now instead of previously used MSVCP80.DLL?
