Saving a pdf to view in landscape

I'm using Reader XI & want to be able to view an Office Excel 2007 spreadsheet - saved as a PDF - in Landscape view. Is there a way to set this up before saving the spreadsheet as a PDF? The 'Rotate' option does exactly what it says, turning a Portrait document into Landscape & rotating the text. I want to be able to rotate the page, but leave the content in its existing horizontal form.

Not possible with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader doesn't create PDF files.

View in Landscape format

Hello,
I have a PDF file where all of the pages display in portrait format. I want to change some of the pages to display in landscape format. I then want to save it so that when visitors to my website will view it in the format that I have set (either portrait or landscape). I used to be able to do this Acrobat 8 Pro by rotating the pages the way I wanted them and then saving the PDF. This doesn't seem to work in Acorbat 9 Pro. Is there a way to accomplish this in Acrobat 9?

Hi,
This still should work in Acrobat 9. Select the page you want to rotate and select Document: Rotate Pages. . .
Save the file.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How do I save a PDF, when viewing in Preview, to a folder in my Documents?

Right now, when I download a PDF from the internet and view it in Preview, I can't figure out how to save it directly to a folder in my Documents. I have been going into the Downloads folder and copy/paste the PDF into the desired folder in my Documents. Is there faster way of saving the PDF?

From Preview, I guess you could select "Duplicate" from the File menu, then close the duplicated file, at which point you will be prompted for a name and location for saving that file. The original will remain in Downloads.
BTW. If you decide the direct move from Downloads to the Documents folder is better, you can use copy and option-paste to move the file without leaving a copy in Downloads (just in case you didn't already know).

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1 - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

Saving a pdf when dynamically build by a servlet

Hi,
How is it possible to initialize the "File name" field when saving a pdf content ?
I'm generating reports in a pdf format with a servlet. This way, the servlet is called by a Url and the result is displayed directly in the browser.
Now, if I click on the save button, the opened window suggest the url (http://....) as file name.
Is it possible to send a default file name that is not trhe url ?

I was interested in your question, since we have a similar application where I work, and every PDF always defaults to the name of the servlet when attempting to save it.
I don't believe it would be possible to change that. The PDF viewer (Acrobat in my case) doesn't know or care whether the content is dynamically generated or a static .pdf file, it just knows that the browser went to a certain site and retrieved a file for it to open. So it appears to me that the decision of what default name to give the file is made at the browser/viewer level rather than by the servlet. I could be wrong, of course--I'd be glad to see any other suggestions.

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.

Acrobat Reader 11.0 and way to reduce size of scanned docs saved as 'pdf

Dear correspondents,
I despair this message to be read and generate an answer. If it is, please give me an address to which I could send my request.
The issue is of decreasing the size in Mb of scanned files, saved as .pdf. I am in MaOS environment and use Adobe Reader 11.0.
I cannot find the command "Combine Files". From it and via "View" is is possible to open "Toolbar" and operate the size reduction.
I have seen this work done in Windows Environment successfully reducin a scanned file from 10 Mb to 1.1 Mb with a still acceptable quality.
I need your adivices,please,

The product you have seen in Windows is probably Acrobat Pro. The free Adobe Reader doesn't do any of that stuff, but does look a bit like Acrobat Pro.

Swf saved as pdf not displaying when opened

Hi All,
I am in the process of creating a media kit for my company. The plan is to be able to send out a link to the pdf file saved in our site files so that potential clients can click and view or download the pdf. I have saved the pdf in my site files however; when you go to the link (http://www.hobnobtv.com/pdf/hobnobtv-media-kit.pdf) it only opens a white blank pdf file.
Here are the steps i've taken to create the file:
I have created the 10page booklet using InDesign CS4 and added the page turn page transition on all the pages.
I exported the file as swf and then opened the swf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
When opening the swf in Acrobat the activation setting I choose are:
Enable when: The page containing the content is opened
Disable when: The page containing the content is closed
Save the pdf file
Uploaded to the site
What could be causing the pdf to appear white and blank? Is there a better way to accomplish the goal?
I look forward to hearing others thoughts!
Rebecca

Thank you for the response!
Actually, I finally realized (and i'm a little embarassed to admit) that when I click on the link for the pdf, my default program to open the file was set to Preview rather than adobe acrobat or reader. So now that I have it set to Acrobat I see it ok.
I have tested the swf file by itself and it does work. The file uses the Page Turn transition affect, so the user needs to click the bottom right corner of each page to turn (or they can click and drag the page open). I did notice when the pdf was opend the little note I included in the bottom right of the first page does not show (it reads "click here to turn page"- as a prompt for the user). I may have to move that up a little bit so it shows. Also, if you hover over the bottom right corner of the right page, you should start to see the page corner curl, this is hard to see at this point (you can see it great if you click the zoom in option once) Maybe i'll have to reduce the size of the swf when making it a pdf to see if that works so the user doesn't have to adjust the page to see the affect.
I'll see how that works.

PDF adjust view size

Hi there!. When saving a PDF file in Illustrator, what should I do so people who opens the file can see the document ALWAYS as "adjust height" view size?
Hope you can help me!
Nat

There is nothing you can do. This is completely out of your control. While you can define a default view for your PDF, the user can override such settings on his own end.

Editing documents saved as PDF

Why can't I edit documents saved as PDF? Last week I was able to save them and then edit them. Today I can only view them.

Hey johnfromnew malden,
First off, do you have all of your files backed up?
Have you ever replaced the hard drive?
Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login window. It may take 5 or more minutes to start up as Safe Mode will try to repair your hard drive if there are issues.

Have your Illustrator and Photoshop images stopped saving as PDF? Help!

I have CS5. For the past 2 weeks, when I save an Illustrator or Photoshop design as a PDF, it does not create a pdf of the image. It creates a PDF with this message:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content. To Place or open this in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator le using the Save As command."
I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS! HELP! The message does not describe any of my CS5 message boxes.
Thanks for any solutions.

1- View of FINDER. Shows some .ai documents have the orange look and others do not.
2- SAVE AS (about to save Illustrator image)

Color shift in pdfs when viewing on ipad

Hey all,
Just wondering what I need to do to my PDF to ensure color are some what close to original when saving a PDF in Illustrator or InDesign. Yes i understand iPad would be using a different coor management to a desktop computer but surely there is a way to get the colors, brightness closer to original?
I notice that when doing standard and high quality saves in PDF format, the saturation and brightness contrast changes quite a bit, but if I save the image as a jpg its a lot closer.
I was just browsing a car site which seems to be exeriencing a very similar situation with one of their PDFs. When viewing in iPad have a look at how bad this looks (its way too dark) but when viewing on a desktop machine its fine.

(If the link does not work go to the main domain, click on vehicles from menu, select captiva5 then click view brochure) to load PDF
Is it just a matter of color proofing using a specific model and drawing back on blownout levels before outputting to PDF?
Any help or insight would be great

Probably you are starting with an cmyk document and the profile is being translated that way.
Try converting the document to rgb then adjust your colors. Make sure you are using sRGB and not Adobe RGB 1998 or Color Match.
That should be the way to go.
