Publish to PDF options - Can they be modified?

I use Captivate 5.5, and often use the publish to PDF option. My question is "Are there any publish to PDF options that I can manipulate to cause the resulting PDF file to open in the manner that I need? For instance, if I wanted the PDF to open in full screen mode, or wanted certain icons to appear in the toolbar, can I select these as an output option? I don't have Acrobat, or I would open the Captivate-generated PDF in Acrobat and save out as I wanted.
Help!!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
When you say "toolbar", are you referring to Playbar.
You can make changes in Skin Editor (Project -> Skin Editor), you can remove button there.
Thanks,
Vikram

Publish to PDF WordPerfect

When I use the Publish to PDF option in Adobe 8 or 9, within WordPerfect X4, it is not defaulting to the same location that the document is currently in. It is just ramdomly choosing a location. I cannot find a setting within either application to save in the current location.

OK. I have two systems that have WP. One has WP X4 and Acrobat Pro 9 installed. The second system has WP X3 and only Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.
I opened a file on WP X4, did a Publish to PDF, created a PDF file, and Acrobat Pro 9 opened the file. When I did a "Save As" (the Save button was grayed out), the directory opened by default was where the generated PDF exists. I opened a file using WP X3 on my second system, opened a file, did a "Publish to PDF," opened the file with Reader 9, did a "Save Copy," and the directory opened was the same directory in which the original PDF file exists. Both Acrobat and Reader behave in a consistent way.
Both Acrobat Pro 9's and Acrobat Reader 9's level was 9.1.3. Therefore, I cannot duplicate your situation.

I can't read PDF files online, they must be saved. How can I go back to having the option to read them online?

When I click on a link to view a PDF file, Firefox tries to make me save the file. This started when I clicked the "do this every time" check box for ONE file. Now I can't undo the selection and my Applications Options control window is completely blank: not only are no PDF options available, no options are available for ANY file type. I have to use Google Chrome to view PDFs online without saving them. I'm running Firefox version 34.0 but the problem started with version 33.

Part of the AAQ (ask a question) process is to ask if you want to supply troubleshooting information.
Acknowledging this will install the Troubleshooter 1.1a ([email protected]) extension that also appears in the System Details, so it is likely that you have approved this.
If you click the "More system details" link in the menu at the right of your first post then you can see what is send.

I can't access some of my PDF files because they haven't been replaced with the proper documents

I was emailed three PDF files, two of these I can't access and the following message shows up:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by

I have downloaded the latest adobe (XI), restarted my computer, cleared my search history on chrome, tried opening the files with internet explorer, and tried getting someone from the adobe chat service to fix the problem. None of these have proved successful.
Please help I need these two files in order to commence my new job. Please don't use complicated, technological language because I won't understand.

Hi Hollyr,
Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file.
Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products support these special PDF files, that it is better to show this message -- and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat -- than it is to let the PDF viewer try to render the document. You might want to ask the user to Reader-extend the documents so that you can view it with Adobe Reader.

I have created a word document but am sending to recipients in pdf format. They told me they cannot open it. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

I have created a document in word and sent it to my recipients in pdf format so they would receive it just as I had formatted it. I used an unusual font. But my recipients tell me they cannot open it. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

How are you generating the PDF file? Are you zipping (compressing) the file before sending it? Is Mail configured to send Windows-friendly files?
If you are using Word to generate the PDF file, then try instead to use the Word Print dialog. Click on the PDF dropdown menu in the lower left corner and select the option to Save as PDF.... You can save the output to the Desktop or any location your prefer. Use that document to send to others via email, but remember to compress the file first.

Can I publish a PDF to the web and have others access it and use weblinks within the document?

Is it possible to publish a PDF to the web and have the viewers be able to click on links within the document. I'm asking because I found a PDF file WebQest online and it allowed me to click on the links. How did they do that?

What is your operating system?
Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

After a person submits a form can they receive a PDF copy of the form

Is there anyway of having the completed form automatically return to the the person who submitted it, rather than just the replies they sent, or can it automatically generate the responses into a PDF so that they can be returned to the person for internal use
Thanks, Kirstie Rossall School

Hi andrewh13313189,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can apply page transitions to your PDF. Please see: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Add page transitions (these instructions also apply to Acrobat Pro XI).

Is there any way to send some one a password protected pdf that only they can access/view with a password?
Thanks!

Hi wonderingtoday,
Yes, you can! If you have Acrobat, you can assign an "Open Password" to the PDF, so that only people who have that password can open the PDF. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

No print to PDF option

Very recently (after the latest security update?), I've lost the option on the print dialogue to print to a PDF. A work-around is to preview and then save the preview as a PDF, but I would like to have the print to PDF option back. I've run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions after already booted up and also booting up from an OS-X install disk. When running repair disk permissions after booting up from my startup disk, it takes very a long time and generates many warnings about SIUD files that have been modified and will not be repaired. Related? Any ideas how to get the PDF drop-down option back?

It happened to me too, apparently spontaneously, a month after installing Leopard, so I doubt it is a printer install issue. AppleCare first said "its a Word problem - call Microsoft", but it happens in all applications including iTunes and iPhoto at least. I called AppleCare back and then they said "its an Adobe problem - we don't support it". They wouldn't even try to tell me if the underlying program is Adobe or Preview or what. (How can they not even try and support their own aps, even with a purchased AppleCare program??) I searched Adobe and they disclaim any support of native ap "save as pdf" functions. Repairing permissions and deleting plists for anything I could find related and updating prebinding in Terminal didn't help. I use the pdf function A LOT at work and the workarounds through other aps is too inconvenient. I also can't afford to reinstall the OS every month. Grrrrrr....
