Re-ordering pages in Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios

Hi,
Sorry for not posting this in the Acrobat forum but that forum seems to be a much less attended one and I end up having to wait much longer for an answer. I figured people with expertise in InDesign probably have some with Acrobat as well.
I have created a PDF portfolio using Acrobat XI and added multiples files (PDFs andj jpgs) into it. I brought them in by selecting the files from their original source folders on my computer. As you might imagine, the files do not then appear in a particular order I want them to be in because the files were not named in order originally and didn't think that was necessary...because I thought you could renumber them in Acrobat.
I have tried renaming/renumbering the files in the both the "Name" and "Description Name" column within the "Details" view, which has worked a couple of times but mostly does not. I've also tried dragging the different pages in front or in back of others, a method I have read about online. It looks like it's going to work (I get that white vertical bar with a small horizontal bar at the top and bottom showing it's moving places) but then the page does not stay where I've put it.
Can someone please explain how to do this?
Thanks!

You may have found a slow Acrobat forum, but this one has high traffic and is the best place to ask. I've moved this to that forum.

Troubleshooting Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios and Flash Player

Urgent Issue. We have a large number of corporate reference files in Adobe PDF Portfolios, created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
(1) Since Adobe moved the Flash Player to a separate stand-alone app, the contents of the existing PDF Portfolios are not visible or accessible.
(2) I created a new PDF Portfolio to troubleshoot the problem. After adding files to the Portfolio the files are not visible either. Adding the same file a second time triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in any of the layouts.
I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate app when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 installed as a separate app.
How do I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original functionality?

I found the followinginformation on Adobe’s website which indicates rendering flash content wasturned off in v9.5.1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/04/background-on-security-bulletin-apsb12-08.

When you get the error, itrefers you to a webpage with a link for a flash player download:

Please note that The Adobe flash player you have installed on your machien is different from the NPAPI version of flash player. So you need to have both of these versions of Falsh player installed on your machine.

Can I edit an Adobe Acrobat .pdf attachment in Mac Mail before I hit send?

I have numerous .pdf approval sheets that I attach to a client’s ad in order for each client to approve, sign and fax back to me. I have many different .pdfs made up with only different counties the client will advertise in already in the .pdf. Now the publisher wants the name of each client to appear on each sheet (I have 130 clients). Is there a way of editing the text (to add client name) in .pdf attachment before hitting send in Mac Mail? I don’t want to have to redo so many different .pdf approval sheets each time in order to keep changing just client’s name on the .pdf.
Thanks,
Mickie
Here’s what the body looks like:
Client ___________________________________________________
County PALM BEACH_______________________________________________
Signature _________________________________________________
Date ______________________________________________________

Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi star2111,
Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?

I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.

Hi Dave,
I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
Thanks so much for your time.
Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
Thanks, Amy

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

Disable Mouse Right click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

Hi All,
We are rendering Adobe live cycle pdf file inside html object tag.
I have disabled toolbar , navigation bar using navpanes=0&toolbar=0.
But when mouse right click reenable the context menu again.
So Is there any way to disable mouse righ click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF browser plugin?

I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

Acrobat PDF Portfolio - Not Saving my Welcome Page or Header

For some reason, I can't get my Welcome Page or Header to save when I'm creating a PDF Portfolio.
What am I missing? It shows up fine when I create it but then I save and close and reopen and they aren't there...
Please Help!

You don't mention a version, but this may be a known issue if you are in 9.4. Take a look at the thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/793948 and see if the situation you are experiencing sounds similar and if the work around posted by Josh_Corey (toward the bottom of the thread, posted Jan 31, 2011) resolves the problem.
Please let us know either way.

None of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

none of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

You can find and tag the unmarked annotations using the Tags pane - click the down arrow next to
the Options icon (near the top left of the pane), then Find > Unmarked Annotations. You will be given the option to tag the annotations - usually they are hyperlinks in which case use the link tag. Then you will need to create the proper tag stucture. Lots of information about that via google, for example the Adobe Acrobat X Professional: PDF Accessibility (Section 508 Tagging) Reference Guide (http://webtools.ca.gov/files/2010/07/acrobat_X_tagging-manual.docx)

Cannot delete individual pages in Adobe Acrobat X PDF

So annoying. When I try to delete individual pages it gives me the error message "one or more pages are in use and cannot be deleted". I have tried closing the thumbnail page preview pane, selecting the pages and hitting backspace (delete), highlighting and choosing the 'delete page' icon at the top of the toolbar....nothing. I have seen a lot of threads about this issue that are dated 2011 with no solutions. Has anyone out there found the solution?
Much appreciated.
Using Adobe Acrobat 10.1.4, Mac OSX 10.7.4

What you said,
If you actually want to fix this problem in Acrobat X:
1. Go to the Help Menu
2. Select Repair Installation
3. Follow the instructions
4. Get on with your life
was perfectly right. Thanks!
