Sharing a PDF portfolio file

I just uploaded to Acrobat.com (cloud storage) a pdf portfolio and tried to share it, but all that was received was one page that says open with Acrobat x1 or reader x1, or some such thing. This, after I paid $20+. What now?

Hi,
Does the page you are seeing look something like this?:
This is the "cover page" of the portfolio. Previewing of portfolio files is not supported within cloud.acrobat.com and so they will display this instead. However you should be able to view the file as expected after it is downloaded.

Cannot view PDF portfolio files

Hi,
I am running Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
There is a regularly updated PDF portfolio file that I view from a suppliers webpage, it is usually around the 200 - 300 page mark. When I open this in Acrobat I get a quick glimpse of all the bookmarks in the document as well as the first page, but then this disappears and all I see are 5 documents that have nothing to do with what I am meant to be viewing. I have never used these other documents in question so don't know where they have come from.
It does this when I view the document in the webpage, as well as downloading it.
I have another Windows 7 Professional 32-bit computer with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 which does the same.
I do not know how the portfolio was created.
I currently use Foxit reader to view this file as Foxit just opens the PDF as one large document and shows every page which is what I want. Also Foxit does not show the 5 documents I mentioned in the above.
Can portfolio mode be turned off in Acrobat as this may solve the problem?
cheers

Thanks for the reply Dave.
I have found that the document was created in Apache FOP then edited using iText (according to the document properties).
I've discovered how to view the main document in Acrobat, I have to select View / Portfolio / Cover Sheet. Looks like the main document gets saved as the cover sheet. I have also found in Foxit where to view the 5 attachments (in attachment view).
Anyway I'll keep using Foxit as this does what I want.
cheers

Printing pdf portfolio file list

How do I print the file list (not individual pdfs) in a pdf portfolio?

Open it as you did in 1. Portfolios look like normal pdfs but they are not. Pdf Portfolios were a wonderful idea, but the implementation caused a few issues one of which you are experiencing.

PDF Portfolio File Size

Hello,
we are using portfolios for a few years to archive technical documents. The portfolios contain forms, datasheets, manuals.
Recently we had to convert to Acrobat X Pro. As already dicussed in this thread the new layouts provided there are not very useful for everydays work.
What really hurts is, that the file size has increased a lot. But it seems nothing to have to do with the layout itself.
The "Grid with filepreview" is in the meantime available for Acrobat X here. But also this very basic layout needs the same space.
In Acrobat 9 a portfolio might even have less size then the sum of its components.
Are there any possibilities to shrink them down in Acrobat X?
Thanks in advance
Roman Grundner

Hi "lampmaker". I'd suggest logging a bug for this and being as detailed as possible about the contents of our portfolio. The form for bug reports can be found here https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=EWQQL

PDF Portfolio Cover - how to change this in Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi all,
in Windows folders PDF Portfolio files are displayed as follows:
1. Using common PDF icons (bad, because we cannot distinguish PDF from PDF Portfolio), or
2. If the folder allows larger pictures, then we see the standards Porfolio cover showing a "book",
the note about the needed version and a download button.
Question: is there a way to replace the standard PDF Portfolio cover (and symbol) by an user defined one?
Such information like needed version and the download button aren't useful for people which
already use correct versions. Notes like these should only appear on computer which cannot
corretly display the respective files.
For a meningfull overview I would like to display own contents. Is this possible?
Best Regards, Michael

Ignore the previous posts.
The thing you're looking at is called the Cover Sheet - it's the page that users will see if their software cannot support Portfolios (or on Windows Explorer thumbnails), and is NOT part of the Portfolio navigator. In fact, the Cover Sheet is the "parent" to the entire document, and is nothing more than a one-page PDF file.
To view the Cover Sheet in Acrobat, choose View -> Portfolio -> Cover Sheet
You cannot delete it (as it's the only page in your document!) but you can edit it. For example, you could create your own design, and use the page thumbnails right-click "replace page" tool to swap in your new page. Be careful about the web link though, it needs to stay there to help your non-Adobe recipients.
If you want to change every Cover Sheet on every Portfolio you make, replace the default "coversheet.pdf" file within the Acrobat install (there will be a series of them in subfolders, one for each installed language):
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\DocSettings\CombineFiles
We do it all the time to add company branding to Portfolios created in enterprise installs.

Does Office Web Apps 2013 supports PDF Portfolio Documents

Hi Team,
Could you please let me know whether office web apps supports Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolios (Preview PDF portfolio files through OWA 2013 in SharePoint 2013).
Thanks!
Bharat
Thanks! Palani K

Hi Bharat,
Quote from the link you provided:
The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio. Depending on the circumstances,
PDF Portfolios offer several advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF.
Since the issue is related to third party product, I'd recommend you also contact their support engineer for more sufficient resource and assistance.
There is not many articles as I could find that talk about pdf portfolio in Office Web App, here is a similar thread:

Make a PDF Portfolio with Chapters work on an iPad

Hi, I have created a PDF Portfolio document for iPad. I built the document in InDesign as a Digital Publication (iPad 768x1024,vertical only). The portfolio contains a number of chapters with each chapter containing a number of pages. I’ve built navigation hyperlinks into the PDF file in Acrobat DC. The PDF Portfolio file works perfectly on desktop computers and I am able to view all chapter and pages, but when I try to open it on an iPad I just get directed to ‘download Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later’. I’ve tried opening it on 3 different iPads that are all running the latest version of Acrobat DC Reader and get the same message every time.
I tried making a second version of the file without the combining the chapters into a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat DC, just running all of the pages together in a single file, with hyperlinks on the contents page and it works perfectly on the iPad. So how can I get it to work on an iPad as a Portfolio with Chapters, can you give me any advice?

Hi,
I presume that "chapters" are individual PDF documents that are contained in your PDF Portfolio.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS and Android) support the hyperlink to jump to a page view within the same PDF document or open a web page (http://... or https://...). Unfortunately, the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps do not support the hyperlink to open a different PDF document (regardless of whether it is included in a Portfolio or not).
Please note that most mobile PDF viewers for iOS and Android do not support Portfolios.
To make your PDF document compatible with any PDF viewers on desktop computers and mobile devices, I'd recommend the second version - "all of the pages together in a single file with hyperlinks".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Converting PDF Portfolio in a single PDF in Acrobat Pro 10

I need help in converting a PDF Portfolio file into a single PDF
This was simple to do in Acrobat Pro 9, but now i have upgrade to Pro 10 and this feature seems to have disappeared.
Getting rid of this feature would be huge mistake on Adobe's part, so i doubt it would be gone.
There has to be a way to do this....please fill me in on this.

Hi,
To combine files in a portfolio into a single PDF file in Acrobat X:
1) Launch Acrobat
2) In the Getting Started dialog, click on Combine Files into PDF or go to Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF...
3) Click on Add Files in upper left of the Combine Files dialog and select Add Files...
4) Navigate to and select the Portfolio you want to convert to a single PDF
5) Click Add Files
6) You will see an alert "File [File's name] is a PDF Portfolio that contains multiple files. The files within the PDF Portfolio have been added to the file list." Click OK to dismiss this dialog. The files within the Portfolio (both PDF and non-PDF) will be displayed in the file list. Non-PDF files will be converted.
7) Reorder files as desired (note: currently custom order from within the Portfolio is not maintained)
8) Click Combine Files. You will see progress as the files are merged into a single PDF file.
9) Save the resulting file
If the Portfolio file is open when you access the Combine dialog, you can choose "Add Open Files" under the Add Files menu.

Merging/Combining email PDF Portfolios

I am creating a few PDF portfolios with Acrobat Pro 9 and Outlook 2003 to archive my email. I have a few files because it seems like there's a limit on the number of email it will convert at one time(other thread). I have two separate PDF portfolios that nicely present my email with From/Subject/Date/etc columns. I would like to merge my email portfolio files together with the goal of creating one large PDF with all my email. I tried the Modify/Add Files option while one PDF portfolio file is open but rather than integrating the folder structure it just added the second PDF portfolio as a single line item which opens independently.
I know there is an option during the creation of the PDF portfolio in Outlook to "Append to existing PDF" which does what I want but can I do it after the fact now that I have several PDF's already created?
Thank You

Given the way pdf files are structured it's no wonder you are having problems.
At the end of a pdf file there's a reference to the start of the so called xref table given as the byte offset from the start of the file. In the xref table theres byte references to the individual blocks of the pdf file. If you concanate pdf files these byte offsets no longer points to what they are supposed to point to.
To complicate matters there's also linearized pdf files with a slightly different format, where a so-called "hint table" is placed near the start of the pdf file, giving access to the first page of the document before the full document is retrived.
It's a bit puzzling that you see the last file added to the large pdf. One would assume that you would get an error message or garbled data. Maybe your pdf viewer has smart error handling. What viewer are you using?
The pdf format is built to allow you to add pages to a pdf file by adding data to the pdf file. This is what you should look into doing.
Basically you will have to add a reference table at the end of the pdf with references to the various xref tables. Contact me if you want further help with this.

PDF portfolio - how do i update or replace pdf files in portfolio

I created a pdf portfolio using the map feature where i drag the pdf's onto the image.
But now, after i have all the pdf's in the portfolio, i want to replace/update some of the pdf files.
I can't see an option anywhere to do this?
Is it possible???
Thanks

In the Find window (Ctrl+F) there's an option to replace the searched text.
This is in Acrobat XI, and there's no Replace All-function.

Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
Thanks,
Lisa

I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
Thanks,
Lisa

Acrobat 9 Pro converting multimedia files in PDF Portfolio

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it says that it can convert multimedia files in a PDF portfolio
but when I try to convert wmv files in gives me a conversion error. The user's guide clearly outlines that this program can convert multimedia files - MOV, AVI and WMV files to PDF files within a PDF Portfolio. Am I missing something? Why won't this work?

You have not indicated what version of AA9 or OS you have. The current version is 9.5.5. You can do updates from the Help menu usually. If that fails, download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

Create Folder with DDX in PDF Portfolio or add files to Folder

can I create folders in a PDF file same as we do with the Adobe Acrobat Portfolio using only DDX? I tried using PackageFiles, but had no results.

The Assembler service in LiveCycle ES (8.2) does not provide a way to specify folders within a PDF portfolio.
For more information about PDF portfolio capabilities in LiveCycle 8.2, see Using Assembler to Create PDF Portfolios.
