Preparing for a PDF review

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS53DFBF0D-427E-46d1-829C-BBAED285F67D.w.html

Hi Lori,
I am with Acrobat X ver. 10.1.7.
This issue is not urgent to me any more but I still wish I could better understand it.
Do you mind if I ask you to have a go with the following 2 test cases (I suppose you are with Acrobat XI, so you can give me good reasons to move to this newer version). Take all the time you need.
1) a PDF doc and any other PDF attachments that need Reader rights extension: try to open the attachment and check if it maintains Reader rights;
2) a PDF doc and a LiveCycle dynamic form (this my present case): it seems that LiveCycle dynamic forms can't be extended in Acrobat but to me this is partially true. If you put an email submit button on a LiveCycle dynamic form and save it as a dynamic PDF, the email submit button will not work in Reader unless you process it in Acrobat to extend Reader rights. However, once the dynamic form is attached to an host container PDF, the submit button never works.
Thanks for your assistance!

Online pdf reviewing

We are looking for online PDF reviewing solution. Could you help me to decide which of Adobe products are required to implement the application featured with:
-Web Application
-Allows concurrent review to any PDF file.
-Enables the PDF commenting before uploading PDF packages
-Comments added in Adobe Reader or Acrobat
-Comments should be extracted and inserted into Comments Database
Thanks

1] At the beginning of the article I say "This topic was originally produced for RH HTML X3 but has been revised for RH X5. Changes in RoboHelp 6 and 7 were minor so the article remains good for those versions. Some additional output options were added to RoboHelp 8 and I will be updating the article for those."
2] Where do I say links for PDFs don't format properly? Popups yes but I cannot see such a reference for PDFs.
3] The topics in your printed document will be whatever you have defined in the print layout. You can start with the TOC and add them in the print layout, as my article describes or you can define a separate TOC, that's how I would do it. I am not clear why that is unrealistic.

I bought CS3 several years ago while in school, but had to drop out before I even opened the software. A few months ago I opened and installed the software and used Photoshop to complete a review project in preparation for my return to school. This morning when I tried to open Photoshop again I got a message saying the license didn't support the software anymore and I would need to check with my IT administrator or contact Adobe. I tried calling Adobe but the recorded message said CS was not phone supported. I know it took me a long time to get back to school, but it seems sad to waste the $1,000 I spent on the software. Is there a solution to this issue or do I need to buy new software? Thank you for your help if you have any suggestions.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

Acrobat Pro 9 SharePoint PDF Review Remote Service Authentication

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.3 (as part of the Technical Communication Suite 2.5). I am hosting PDF reviews on our company SharePoint server. In the past, I haven't had any problems doing this.
However today I cannot connect, and a "Remote Service Authentication" dialog box (see below) appears everytime I try to connect to a PDF review. This is the same for both reviews I have started, or for reviews others have started. Also, I have full permissions for the SharePoint Document Library.
I entered my credentials, then clicked OK. The dialog box just reappears over... and over... and over.
It doesn't seem to matter which program the PDF documents were created with (same dialog for documents generated from MS Word and Framemaker). And a co-worker was able to connect without a problem and enter comments (of course, I can't see his comments since I cannot connect to the server). This leads me to believe that it is a problem on my machine.
Any ideas?

Yes, I initiated the review. When I initiated the review, I saw a different dialog for entering my username and password. That took my credentials and uploaded the PDF to SharePoint.
I don't remember seeing RSA dialog (see the image I attached to the first post) when I created the review, only when I opened the PDF after the review was generated. At that point, I did select to save the credentials, but it didn't seem to save them (since everytime the dialog appears it is blank).
I had another one of our tech writers test it before sending it to the rest of the team, and he was able to access the review and put in test comments. He never saw the dialog. At that point, I looked at other reviews that I had initiated in the past, and was unable to add comments to those either (at least for the ones that didn't have a deadline). So I am pretty sure it is something that has changed on my system in the last few weeks. Perhaps a Microsoft Security update?

PDF Output: Why is "PDF Review" styled different than "Generate PDF"?

I am new to RH. I have imported a folder of HTML files (used in an Eclipse Help plugin) into RH9 for HTML as a project. My goal is to produce a PDF document.
When I generate a PDF from Printed Documentation in the Single Source Layouts pad, many styles are incorrect. I've tried generating to Word and from there to PDF with the same effect.
However, when I use Create PDF for Review from Project Manager the styles shown in the PDF (fonts, alignment, etc) are nearly perfect! Is the PDF Review option using a different CSS?
I have tried exploring the CSS specified in the Generate PDF flow, but I am unable to make changes, perhaps due to my massive state of confusion. So I'm losing hope that I could manually tweak to CSS that I think I use in the Generate PDF flow to appear like the "PDF Review" flow. I specified the same CSS used in the Eclipse Help system, but evidently there must be some defaults built into the Eclipse viewer that are not specified in the CSS we use.
Thanks in advance,
Charly in SJ

Here's what I think is happening. You say PDF review is good but printed documentation gives wrong styles. You also say you assume PDF review uses the Stylesheet (CSS) for each topic, yes it does. Now if that is giving the correct styles it tells you that is what you need when you generate printed documentation.
When you use a Word template you will get very different styles unless you have set up the template to mirror your CSS. Using the Map to CSS option you have two choices, you can select None when each topic will be printed according to the CSS attached to the topic or you can select one of the CSS files available in the project.
I suspect that if you select the None option, you will get the same as you are seeing in the PDF review.
If your document is not going to be worked on by anyone, such as a training department using it as a based document, then the CSS options are fine. If others will be working on it, then the Word template option is better as lists will be true lists and headings will be true heading styles.

Well , you won't go for shopping when there are already guests in your home , will you? In case, that didn't make much sense, I meant that you won't start reading books, pdfs, looking at websites when you are going to have an interview already scheduled for you. I can bet my money( whatever little I have) that even doing this, won't bring you any good. If your question directly or indirectly is related to the questions that the interviewer may ask, once again, this would be a total wrong approach to go for an interview. In almost no time, it can be find out whether you are speaking some crammed line or from yourself. I had a chance to sit on the other side of the hot seat and the guy in front of me was giving all teh bookish answers. I twisted the questions and I was sure that he must have not read them anywhere, guess what happened. he started fumbling and finally gave up.
Interview is what you know, what you have done so far. Its not to start picking up LOTS of books, looking for the questions/answers and just think that the interview will happen from that only. I have some questions whose answers, at least the complete answers , you won't find anywhere. My suggestion is to just go for the interview, be honest about what you know and more about , what you don't know. You haven't committed a crime by not knowing some thing. I know nothing and I am never scared from the interviews ;-) .
Not sure that did help or not but still, best of luck.

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

Material document printing: is program SAPM07DR prepared for smartforms?

Hi everyone.
We need to do a smartform to print material documents through a new output type. Do you know if program SAPM07DR is prepared to work with smartforms? I don't think so, I see that it is prepared for sapscripts and PDF-forms, but it seems not to be prepared for smartforms.
In case that it is not prepared to work with smartforms, do you know any standard program that print smartforms for material documents?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

These programs doesn't fit with the requirements. I have found program SAPFM07P_SMART, but the problem is that this program is prepared to print an smartform per material document item, and I need to print a smartform for the whole material document information.
So if you don't know any other program, I suppose we will have to addapt a copy of SAPFM07P_SMART to work with the whole material document, and not with every item.
Thanks.

Conditional Build Tags in RoboHelp 9 PDF Review output?

It doesn't look like it's possible to exclude conditional text from the output for the new PDF review feature in RoboHelp 9. (From Review > Create PDF for Review.) Is this accurate?
Thank you,

I'm sorry but I don't.
I suggest you submit a feature request that these requirements are added.

Why does "prepare for web publishing" turn text into an image?

I have to prepare some supplied print PDFs for use on the web. I used to use "Reduce file size."
With the new Acrobat, I use "prepare for web publishing". But when I use "prepare for web publishing", all the vector text in my document gets turned into a low-res image.
Why would this be the case, and please tell me I can turn it off?
Thank you!

I'm just guessing here but could it be that the text is not a typical web-safe font? If not, I could see why it does that to preserve the appearance of the document for those that don't have the proper fonts installed.

ITunes Connect: Can't get out of "Prepare For Submission" state

My app is currently stuck in "Prepare For Submission" state.
I click "Submit For Review", then answer the 3 questions, then click "Submit".
Then it just spins for 5 minutes or so and reloads and I'm back where I started. "Prepare For Submission" again. I have already uploaded a binary and everything seems good to go.
The previous version of my app was rejected, so I updated the version number and am attempting to resubmit a new binary on top of it. Perhaps this is related to the issue? I tried this in Chrome as well as Safari with the same result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update: I created a new build, bumped the version and tried again. This time it worked. Who knows...

Can you please help me to prepare for OCA exam, let me know which material is best and how to prepare
Thankyou.

Hey guys, I don't want to run too far away for the original topic here. (Sabdar I am reading your page with great interest) aside from the need to know WHAT to study, I am wondering where to begin? 9i, 10g or 11i? Is it best to learn 9i then the others in sequence or does it matter at all.
Keep in mind I am new to oracle and looking to learn so I can improve my job circumstance. I have been working IT help desk jobs since 2000, went through A+, and have a Win2K MCP. I worked a little with oracle back in 2003 (I believe we were using 8i) but really only scratched the surface of installation and setting up workstations to access existing databases.Phew
... well the link below shows Oracle offering about 7 OCA certifications in a number of categories.
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141]
... I think from your posts your probably more interested in the Database administrator ones....
... Unfortunately I am not sure an Oracle Database Administrator OCA will improve your job prospects, because you wont demonstrator the experience to back it up.
... If you do decide to with Oracle some that route concentrate on a 1z0-007 or 1z0-051 exam first then decide where ou are going.
... If you want to brush up your preliminary sql skills for nothing online the look at [http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp], that is a safe website with regard to certification.
... If you still want to learn database skill ignore certification path initially but loouk the the oracle 2 day dba tutorials.
Please remember in my opinion everything in my earlier post remains valid. Oracle univeristy training is usually best.
I would also suggest you review if you should consider the folloing certifications:
ITIL v3 foundation.
CMA (MySQL) : This is currently being taken over by sun and then I presume oracle. Prehaps no way as prestigous as an oracle but a nice little interim certification nonetheless.
ISEB testing foundation.

Good morning,
Here is the information from Oracle on such practices...
Oracle Certification Program Fraudulent Activity Policy
Oracle reserves the right to take action against any candidate involved in fraudulent activities, including, but not limited to, fraudulent use of vouchers, promotional codes, reselling exam discounts and vouchers, cheating on an exam, alteration of score reports, alteration of completion certificates, violation of exam retake policies or other activities deemed fraudulent by Oracle.
If Oracle determines, in its sole discretion, that fraudulent activity has taken place, it reserves the right to take action up to and including, but not limited to, decertification of a candidate's Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Certified Professional and/or OCM credentials, temporary, indefinite or permanent ban of a candidate from Oracle certification programs, notification to a candidate's employer, and notification to law enforcement agencies. Candidates found committing fraudulent activities forfeit all fees previously paid to Oracle, or to Oracle's authorized vendors, and may be required to pay additional fees for services rendered.
View the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement which requires your agreement before the start of each exam.
Take note of this. I would not want to put in the effort you are looking to do only to have Oracle decertify me.
Study, practice, study some more. Then, when you are ready, take the test.
Good luck,
Don.

Debugging PDF Reviews in SharePoint

Wanted to share my resolution to a recent problem. Some review participants with Adobe Reader 9 were unable to connect to the review server (SharePoint), and could not see the Shared Review Information Bar (which displays the options to Check For New Comments or Publish Comments). Other reviewers had no trouble at all.
We confirmed that the server location was properly setup via the wizard in Acrobat Pro 9. The reviewers had correct permissions in SharePoint. They uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Reader, downloaded directly from the Adobe site. All to no avail.
What finally made a difference was a change to Internet Explorer settings. The SharePoint site was in our company intranet, but it was not consistently recognized as an intranet site. Therefore it did not automatically rely on the reviewer's Windows authentication settings when joining a PDF review. Adding the root URL of the SharePoint server to the Intranet Zone, and allowing automatic login, cleared up the problem.
Procedure: In Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet Options > Security tab > Sites, and add the SharePoint root URL. Return to the Security tab, and choose Custom level. At the bottom of the Settings list, in the User Authentication | Logon section, make sure that "Automatic logon" (e.g., "only in the Intranet zone") is selected.

One way to annotate PDF file in SharePoint is to check it out to local drafts.
To accomplish that you need to enable edit by changing PDF mapping in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.xml from <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl=""/> to <Mapping
Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" EditText="Foxit Reader" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/> and restart IIS.
The only browser that allows local checkout is Internet Explorer (IE TAB works as well), remember to check use my local drafts.
I have not found any other way to do it, Adobe solution in Adobe Reader 11 Pro does not work and an ran into problems using Foxit solution, this solution has similar complexity for user as Foxit solution if their user manuals are correct.
