Show bookmarks by default when opening the pdf file
Hi
I made a document with a TOC and bookmerk for pdf which worked great.
I have some pdf documents that when I open them, the bookmark panel on Acrobat are opened by default. In my document, that panle is not visible, I need to click the Bookmark icon, so it shows the bookmark panel, and so I can navigate in the document.
Is there a way to configure InDesign so that the pdf file makes Acrobat open the Bookmark panel by default, like those documents I have? It looks like to me that this is a very common resource in pdf files, most of the pdf I have opens the bookmark panel when the document is loaded.
Than you for any help!
Yes... at the moment, PDF final view control via InDesign is lacking... in fact it isn't there at all. This has to be done from Acrobat. However, it is possible to make actions in the action wizard so the process isn't so tedious. I have written about this elsewhere: See it at the final size – view size and Acrobat | Colecandoo!

What kind of advertisement? In Adobe Reader? Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa -

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that
Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Hi,
I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
Regards,
EmreHey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again.. -
I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much
Hi there!
I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get. -
'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac
Hi,
Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...
JaredThanks for the reminder, Scott.

Hi...i am having adobe reader 9 as well as adobe acrobat professional 6 installed in my sytem. i want to open all pdf file should open with adobe reader 9 by default. please help how we can do this. Also i want to open the pdf file in adobe reader 9 during net surfing. please help. thanks in advance...
rajeshYou need to let Windows know what is the default for opening PDFs. That can be done by right clicking on a PDF and selecting open with and selecting the open always option with Reader. However, if Acrobat is running in the background -- the default for Acrobat and Reader to leave part running, then your selection may be ignored. In that case, stop Acrobat.exe in the task list.

I have to place a large number of PDF files. Sometimes I get an error: "Failed to open the PDF file". In the InDesign Forum I found that this also happens in the GUI from time to time and that the workaround is to turn on the Show Import Options. But this is obviously not an option for me.
Is there any alternative?
Thank you, RalfWhen you retry, is it always the same PDF?
Otherwise I'd play around like
- catch the error
- perform some potential cleanup of resources (files, memory), e.g. SaveAs, or a Close-Reopen cycle
- retry the same PDF

Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?
Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?
I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

Open the pdf file from forms6i
Hi,
how to open the pdf file from forms6i.
can anyone help me regarding this.
Thanks,
Ansaf.Hi,
The HOST built-in does not return any error or message back to the Form.
You will have to use some other means to first find out whether the file exists or not. E.g. you could use TEXT_IO.FOPEN to open the file in Read mode. If the files is not found the handle returned will be null, and that will be condition you have to process to show a message or pop an alert.
Make sure you close the file with FCLOSE, irrespective of whether the file is found or not, before you open the File for viewing.

How do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file
how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?
What is your current default? If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program. -
