Saving PDF for reading offline...

OK I read a LOT of PDFs in my life. I thought the intelligent way would be to read them on the "magical iPad".
When I try to save a PDF and read it there seems to be no 'love'. It's hard to get subjects such as "gdb internals" in ebooks via Apple..
Any ideas?

Have you looked at "GoodReader" for the iPad? It's only 99¢ and it's rock solid. I've been using it on my iPod Touch for many months and it was the 1st app I downloaded for my iPad.

  • Can't open pdf for Reader 9.0 and above on iPad2

    Hi,
    Would greatly appreciate the advice of the experts here.
    My iPad2 can view most pdf documents, but when the pdf requires Reader 9.0 and above, it can't be viewed in the Reader I've installed (which is the latest version on iTunes). Here are the warning note and error message:
    Warning note:
    The PDF attachment is only supported by Adobe Reader 9.0 and above. If you are not able to view the attachment online, please right-click the attachment link and save the file onto your local machine. Please open the downloaded file using Adobe Reader 9.0 and above.
    Error message:

    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

    Hi SGckc,
    This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
    Thank you for contacting us!

  • Trouble saving pdf - adobe reader X

    Does anyone else have trouble saving some PDF files? I'm looking at academic papers and certain databases have PDF files that will let me open and print them, but I can't save them to my computer. Please help!

    Sure thing. I can't save the PDFs from this (and other) journals whether I open them in a new window (default) or I force them to open in a new Firefox tab in my current window. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01918869

  • Saving PDF for Web?

    Hello!
    I recently designed a 6-page annual report, meant to be disseminated as a PDF via web and e-mail.  I am having trouble getting the PDF small enough and streamlined enough for this purpose.  The file is under 4MB, but even on my system it is difficult to scroll through it, and graphics take a moment to appear or flash repeatedly on the screen.
    The design is simple but includes many gradients and transparencies, which I assume is the root of the problem.  I have flattened transparency and converted text to outlines.  There are no images other than one vector logo.  When saving as a PDF, I choose "smallest file size," with all options unticked except "save for fast web review."  Lowering downsampling under "compression" made no difference.  Even external sites like smallpdf.com would not make the file smaller.  I'm not even sure changing the file size will ultimately solve the issue of the graphic elements flashing and taking time to properly appear.
    Is there anything else I can do to make this file more accessible to a broad audience?
    Thanks!

    Outlining is considered very bad practice for many reasons (and cannot be undone).
    True, but not in all cases...
    But that is for a different conversation.
    You could try using indesign.
    I have found this will create a much more compact PDF then illustrator.
    and is much better at dealing with text

  • Saving PDF for versions 4 and above

    How can I save a document to be compatible with versions 4 and above of Acrobat?
    FayeC

    Assuming you have the proper version of Acrobat, you can use FILE>Reduce File Size or use the PDF Optimizer in another menu. Both of these allow saving in an earlier version. They may only be in Pro and only in a version newer than what you have.
    A third option is to reprint the PDF with the AA4 compatibility selected. I think there is maybe a forth option in AA8.

  • Saving PDF on computer to read offline on iPhone

    Is there a way to save a PDF on my computer so that I can read it offline on my iPhone? Often I am someplace with no phone or wifi service, and I want to be able to read PDFs that I have saved. Dropbox requires a connection to either cell or wifi. Ideas?

    Thank you for your quick reply. When I am home, I have wifi and also a cable, so getting the pdf to the phone isn't the issue. It's seeing the pdf when the phone is, say, in Airplane Mode or otherwise without cell or wifi.
    I have saved pdfs to iBooks, but they don't seem to show up on the phone. And the ones that are on the phone don't seem to show up in iBooks on my Mac. I have all the sync settings on, but can't make the two talk to each other.
    Ideas?
    You're a pal to engage on this.

  • Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

    I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
    My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

    Hi Reggie,
    I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
    Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
    What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
    Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

  • After saving PDF static files, reader extended privileges (ARES) are lost

    Hi,
    Technical information:
    LiveCycle 7.0 (which came with Acrobat Professional)
    ARES 7.0
    Reader 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
    Windows 2000
    PDF Static file type (as we are not dynamically adding/removing document objects)
    Scenario:
    PDF contains javascript to change the background and border colour of form fields (e.g. node.fillColor = '255,255,170' changed to '192,192,192') to denote enabled/disabled fields.
    PDFs are reader extended, so, user should be able to enter and save data on the documents multiple times.
    Problem:
    Reader extension rights of PDFs were lost. For example, in Reader, open document, update/enter data, save, and close. Do this multiple times and make sure one of the form fields background colour changes. When the document is re-opened its reader extension privileges are lost and user is no longer able to update/enter data on the document.
    This worked with our pilot forms (using AcroForm and ARES 6.0)
    ADOBE Explanation:
    The underlying XFA document is changed when the form field's background property was changed, hence, it is no longer a static form and its reader extended rights has changed.
    Resolution:
    PDF's file type changed from Static to Dynamic. Some logically driven functions will have to be changed/duplicated (e.g. calling enabling/disabling function(s) from the documents' docReady event).
    Have to use Reader 7.0.2 to be able to open, update, save, and close document multiple times without loosing reader extended rights.
    Hope this helps others
    Regards
    Jen

    Hi <br /><br />I think I am experiencing with similar issue , I am trying to do dynamic form filling using java.

How do I create and save my template as static pdf templates without having cross reference stuff?

  • Not receiving secure PDF for offline payment

    Hi all,
    I've had a website running for the past few months that takes users details for offline payments during checkout. When I first set the site up (several months ago) everything seemed to come through fine. I could see the users details and had everything I needed to take payment.
    However I have recently gone back into the site to make a few changes and have realised that I am no longer receiving the secure PDF for offline payment. I have set my new password, triple checked that my email is selected and have tried several times but still can't seem to find any user details that would allow me to take payment.
    This is currently the only system I have in place as I am assessing whether or not there is enough traffic on the site to consider setting up a realtime payment portal but even as a temporary thing I would like to get this working.
    Any information about this would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi SafeySnail,
    I'll need you to submit a support ticket on this issue and specify which site this is occurring with as well as the email address that is not receiving the secure PDF. The support team will be able to investigate why this is occurring and get back to you with a solution.
    You can submit a support ticket from within the admin console > Help & Support.
    Cheers.

  • Saving PDF Locally from Reader XI

    I created a form with FLOWED content. I sent the form out to be tested and found out that in order for the user to save the form locally they would need Reader XI. We were able to upgrade one user to Reader 11.03 (not 11.06 due to other app conflicts) to test the form and they still couldn't save locally. I tried saving the doc as XML file, Dynamic XML file, PDF, and PDF with reader extensions. The user was able to save the document with reader extensions but the FLOWED content was disabled.
    Is there a way for users with READER to be able to save the form locally AND have the capabilities of the form I created?
    PLEASE HELP!

    Reader Extending shouldn't cause a dynamic form to stop working.  Is there a chance you could send me the form to test?

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

  • How do I enable a LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

    I have an interactive PDF form that I created in LiveCycle. However, when it is opened with Adobe Reader, the user is unable to save it. They can only print from Reader. How do I enable the LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

    You have to add save rights with Acrobat.
    Open you form in Acrobat and then save it via File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.

    Is there any limitation when you apply reader extension rights to the Dynamic PDF form
    FOr static forms , I was able to submit the form in XDP format with PDF embedded in it.
    THe same thing is not working for Dynamic PDF forms

  • Create ID PDF with Audio (multimedia) for Reader

    Does anyone know how I can properly code my InDesign file so that the audio that I choose to embed will play back properly in Adobe Reader AS WELL AS Adobe Acrobat.  So far I am getting conflicting results:  In Acrobat the audio plays back once a particular page loads and then continues to play even if I navigate away from that page.  In Reader if I navigate away then the audio stops.
    Furthemore I cannot seem to get audio to play on Reader for mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, or HP TouchPad or even Android Phones and tablets.
    How do I encode audio in my ID file for Reader for mobile devices?  I'd rather ask in one thread instead of having to repeat myself in multiple threads across the various mobile OS Reader Forums.
    Thanks in advance

    This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create comment-enabled PDF documents, but either Pro or Pro Extended can. Is that correct?
    If I buy Acrobat Pro, will I be able to use it to create comment-enabled PDF documents from my Word 2007 documents?
    Yes and yes.

    It's very simple. Create your PDF from Word, open in Acrobat and use the Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. You cannot invoke it from within Word no.
