Portfolio question

Hopefully I am in the right forum.
Is there a way to organize all pdf's in my Acrobat Portfolio across all folders by date?
Not within one folder but all folders?
I create pdf documents and sort into folders but also want to review by date created like a daytimer journal.
Thanks.

Your best bet it to just ask them.
(I'd be confused, too. To my mind, a portfolio and a demo reel are two different things. The former is text and images, suitable for a PDF. The latter is multimedia, and though it may well be capable, few would normally choose PDF as the vehicle for such.)

Portfolio question that I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out...

I want to build a portfolio with categories. You click something and the appropriate slideshow or lightbox appears or comes into the scene. The troubling part is I dont want to scroll anywhere. I just want 6 categories and each respective lightbox all in one place. Any ideas?

In this case, I would reccomend you use something like a tabbed panel widget and place a lightbox for each inside a specific panel. You could create the overall layout for the lightbox display in the first panel and copy it across the rest to maintain design consistency.
Cheers,
Justin

Reader enabled portfolio problem

Hi
I have created a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer which I have reader enabled in Acrobat. I have tested the form in Reader and all the 'enabled' functions work.
The problem is when I place the form into an Acrobat portfolio the form will not carry out any of the enabled functions such as saving the form. Should the enabled form still work in a portfolio or not?
Many thanks
Darren

Nope .....you may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum as they woudl get many more portfolio questions on that side than we get here.

Questions about my PDF portfolio.

I have only a few questions about a CD portfolio I am designing with Acrobat Professional (8.0)
There were a few things i couldn't figure out on my own.
I have about 15-20 pieces to show on CD, but there is no web design involved, so I couldn't use my own web site layout to just throw onto CD, out of that convenience.
1) How do you make sure the PDF will always opens at the size you want?
For example, whenever I set the document at actual size (100% view) I close and open the document, and it reopens at a random size, such as 317 percent.
WTH?
2) Where can I find examples of design portfolios that were designed in Acrobat? Everyone's portfolio is online these days, which is not my style.
3) Is it possible to make a 'thumbnail view' on the first PDF page (like you would see in a gallery on a website) that links from that page to any one of the 15-20 pieces?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Guess thats what ill do
I also found another stuipd thing in some Java games the phone still has the tilt sensor active in games and software.
Some games end up with graphic glitches forcing you to restart them, some display a message saying its unsupported and some support it partially (The number keys for navigation stay like they are in portrait which is of course messed up (The phone seems to change the navigation keys internally though so that does work)

Portfolio layout question

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and want to create a very basic online portfolio of my photographic work. I want to know how to make next/previous buttons on a page so only the image changes as you click either button. An example I found is here http://www.keithdavisyoung.com/
Sorry if it's a silly question! I don't even know what I could search for...
any help would be greatly appreciated

Depends on how much experience you have with code.
You can use any one of several different jQuery slideshow, Gallery or Lightbox scripts.

Or, you can use a Web Gallery Creation software like JAlbum which does most of the work for you.

Best way (folio/bounding) to display a printed portfolio? (Graphic Design question)

Hi all,
Apologies if this isnt posted in the correct forum (but I wasnt able to find any mainstream graphic design forums, I know there is ultrashock but that's more flash based, if anyone could point me to some would be great.)
Any how my question is what is the best portfolio type (paper/binded folder/display sheets) to display printed graphic design work in to potential clients or employers etc?
I had been using protective sheets, but then a client of mine showed me what someone else had done for them and it was displayed in a huge thick A3 bound portfolio (you couldnt see or tell how each peice of paper was bound to the edge). I'm thinking that's what I really need and really professional type looking folio presented like that, but I don't know of what you would call that type of folio/bounding etc.
Any help would be great

I prefer to do wire-o because you can change the pages out as your portfolio changes. I also like to have vellum slip sheets in-between because it looks more professional as well has assure that the prints do not stick together. I prefer to go with printed plastic transparent covers with an emboss as well as foil stampings with double hit blacks consisted of gloss UV coatings in patterns of textiles, but that gets costly.
Other then that, I think you will have more success creating an on line portfolio. Most people don't have the time to look at hard copies, but it's good to have a back up hard copy for face to face situations.

Creating an Acrobat Portfolio. Two Questions. Need Help??

I'm not in a work environment and I have no one to ask these questions of. I feel very foolish that I just discovered that I can make a portfolio of my work in Acrobat, but I did. I have Acrobat Pro 9.1. First question is about security. I will be sending the portfolio to people by email or on cd, to view only, and I don't want the viewer to have to deal with password issues. I don't want them to be able to print, or edit, or alter in any way. What do I need to do security-wise to the acrobat portfolio file to ensure they can only view my portfolio? Second, is saving the artwork as .jpg files the best way to create my portfolio. (Most of the originals is photoshop or illustrator) I don't want the finished portfolio size to be tooo huge...or would saving the files as .pdf's be better. The screen viewing quality seems to be the same. Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

Your way behind on your updates You need to update first to 9.1.1, then 9.1.2, then 9.1.3, anf finally to 9.2.0.
as for how to compress the sizes, if your intentions are to view on monitor, on the web create the individual PDF's then go to Optimizer and when window comes up go to section Graphic sizes, next set maximum dpi to no more than 150 . That's more than adequate. Save under a different name.
To make so no one can do anything with it, on each one creat a Layer with a 1% opacity, make it extend the ful length and width of the the pdf. Then Back to optimizer and, and choose layers, and have It to flatten the layers. This for all intents and purposes a Graphic.
As for how to combine into a Portfolo I haven't hadd experence do so. I would assume direction are in the help file. My guess is you woul click on create Portfolio and the select each PDF in order to add, or perhaps you might could even Drag and Drop. Either way is sepulation on my part. Perhaps Mike Kaslov could come in and help with that part.

Portfolio with question mark screen

My computer locked up last night and when I tried to turn it back on, it started clicking and went to a grey screen. Now, it goes to that grey screen every time I try to boot it up.
After a while, a portfolio with a question mark shows up on the grey screen and the computer shuts off after about five minutes of a blinking portfolio with a question mark.
It's quite weird. Any help?

Sounds like your hard drive is acting up. Insert the system disk #1. Boot the system holding down the option key, and choose to boot to the CD. Try and repair the disk.

IAttachment api question for PDF Portfolios

I have been working on a custom portfolio for a while now and have a pretty good understanding of most of the new feature. I am currently have a problem though where i drill down into a folder and want to play the videos that are in said folder. I can always launch the preview in a stand alone mode but that neither looks good or is what my client is looking for. I want to be able to play the .flv or .swf through a media player embedded on my display (pretty much the rotate view but with playable movies instead of thumbnails). The problem is that I have not been able to access my movie attachments. The IAttachment class comes with a path property that describes itself to be a string path to the file I am trying to play. Naturally I assumed I could do something like (say the file is a swf) binding the source property of a SWFLoader to attachment.path and call it a day. This is unfortunately far from the case. I am not if it has something to do with the path being broken or not but thats what i assume. I also find it interesting that the fileName property is supposed to be the last portion of the path property but no matter where my file is located (root or in a sub folder) the path is always the same as the fileName. Bug or a simple misunderstanding? Hopefully an adobe guru can help me with this one.

PDF Portfolios - A few Good Questions...

Lori Defurio (Acrobat's Product Manager)
http://blogs.adobe.com/loridefurio/about.html
has created a great PDF (acrobat9features.pdf) that shows what
Acrobat Portfolio can do. However, I don't know how she put an
animation in the Welcome Header. Also, is there and easier way to
get that Carousel (as oppossed to Revolve) to work. I saw a video
on https://admin.adobe.acrobat.com/_a295153/a9asp3/ and it looks
like there is lots of coding Custom PDF Portfolio Navigator. For
instance is anyone sharing/selling this Carosel? Its cool and I
want it but won't be able to excecute the code/script heavy (for
me) process on the video

Indesign Portfolio SWF Question

I followed this tutorial:
http://blogs.adobe.com/indesignpost/2011/01/creating-an-interactive-portfolio-with-indesig n/
When I open my swf file the first page has the button I created and is awesome, then I click on the button and it shows the first work that it should......BUT for some reason that I have no idea why; the buttons below the image are gone.
The buttons are not invisible, they are completely missing.
After reading the tutorial (or just being a pro in indesign), what did I do wrong and how can I fix this problem?

Jeffrey, your comments are certainly dead on for CS4 but CS5 has far better capabilities. I'm no expert on this but much of the interactivity in the ID file will survive an export to FLA to be opened in Flash Professional CS5.

Question for graphic artists about PDF Portfolios...

I'm finding it difficult to get a graphic portfolio PDF under the required 5mb without sacrifice a little too much in quality.
Could the graphic artists in the house with portfolio PDFs let us know what their Photoshop PDF export settings are? (more specifically, DPI and JPG settings)
Naturally, this is for screen. But the people opening these files who ask for portfolios in PDF format will likely have quality gear.
Thanks!

Question about Portfolios

I have a portfolio of several pdfs. Before placing in the portfolio when viewing each pdf individually you click View > Go To > Previous View and it will take you the last page that had been veiwed from a previous reading of the pdf. After placing the pdfs in a portfolio this feature does not work.
Is there some setting I am missing to have this feature work or is it not available when making a portfolio of pdfs?
Thanks

Extensis Portfolio 8.1.1 and Lightroom - keywords question

Hi, I've imported images to Lightroom that have had keywords applied using Portfolio (an Extensis product). Once imported into Lightroom, however, Lightroom does not show these keywords. It only shows those keywords applied using Photoshop CS2. Is there a way, short of reentering all that data, to get Lightroom to recognize these Portfolio keywords?
Thanks for any help,
DLMST

Got a little mixed up between threads. Portfolio is scriptable, so it would be possible to generate xmp sidecars which Lightroom would then be able to read.

Hello,
Goto start menu -> Run -> give '%temp%' and execute. This will show the temp folder here, then find the folder BW and delete this folder complately. Now open BEx analyzer for the first time after this & connect with system, so that the right texts are entered to the temp file in the desktop.
After this the issue should be fixed.
Best Regards,
Michael
