Suggestion - adding properties like labels to .pdf files

First of all, I'm not sure whether this is the right forum, but it is the most accurate I could find.
I was wondering whether .pdf files could have the enhancement of custom properties. In Vista, it is possible to add such properties (as well as author, subject, etc.) to files such as Microsoft Office ones, .xps and .jpg files in the Details Pane of Windows Explorer. With .pdf files, however, it is not possible. If this was implemented, I'd be able to organize .pdf files on my computer much better as well, which would be a huge improvement in my opinion.
Just a suggestion, please let me hear if it could be implemented as well as your own thoughts of this.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm really sorry but it is perhaps that I only have Adobe Reader that I cannot see properties in Windows Explorer. When going to the properties window itself, the values on the PDF tab are read-only. I assume that's the reason for me not being able to read or write them in Windows Explorer.

Blog / Podcast: I'd like to enclose PDF files (instead of .png)

Hi there from Germany
and sorry for my English, folks. I would like to invite you to my iWeb-made (german) Blog here to make clear what my personal problem is - the enclosure of PDF-files. Please visit http://www.olemeiners.de/web/Kiosk/Kiosk.html or jump into the feed feed://www.olemeiners.de/web/Kiosk/rss.xml
I woud like to feed instead of the PNG-files iWeb made automatically (thats the prob!) my (dropped in the template and linked) PDF-files.
Background: I use the iWeb blog to show some of my published work (I'm a journalist) to acquire new jobs. But I can't find any functionallity to realize it - beside manipulating the rss.xml-file like a housewife.
When I take a look to the published site itself I find in the folder to the blog entry BOTH the png and the pdf. In my view there is no much work to add a functionality "feed original file instead of iWeb created preview picture". Would be great, not only for me, but for teachers too (see e.g.: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2208404&tstart=1).
Any idea? I'll see myself desperating in counting bytes for the correct document length of the to be enclosing pdf and crying at the next publishing via iWeb when I realize that all the manual work with the rss.xml file is overwritten.
Btw. I use 10.6.2 on more than one machines and publish to an own domain outside MobileMe

Creating a Batch Sequence using Acrobat Pro -
--| Select, from the menu bar, Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing
The Batch Sequence dialog presents itself.
--| Click the 'New Sequence' button.
The Name Sequence dialog presents itself.
--| Enter a name for the new sequence (e.g., "Add Watermark").
The Edit Batch Sequence - Add Watermark dialog presents itself.
--| Click the 'Select Commands' button.
The Edit Batch Sequence dialog presents itself.
The left side column lists commands; under the 'Document' folder -
--| Select 'Add Watermark' and then click the 'Add >>' button.
--| Click the 'Edit' button.
The Add Watermark dialog presents itself.
Configure as desired. Note the links "Page Range Options" (upper right) and "Appearance Options" (left side, just below center).
You may want to use these options as part of the Watermark's configuration.
When configuration within the Add Watermark dialog is complete, click OK.
OK out of the Edit Sequence dialog.
Back in the Edit Batch Sequence - Add Watermark dialog continue with configuration options as desired.
Note: There is a square adjacent to the "Add Watermark" command that was selected.
For unattended operation, leave this box NOT ticked.
Clicking the 'Output Options' button provides access to a dialog from which you can choose to utilize PDF Optimizer.
The 'Settings' button provides access to PDF Optimizer's configuration dialog.
With all desired configuration complete, OK out of the Edit Batch Sequence - Add Watermark dialog.
Click the 'Run Sequence' button to run a selected Batch Sequence.
The configuration selection made for "2. Run commands on:" (in the Edit Batch Sequence - <name of sequence>) determines what you will observe next.
It may be that Acrobat JavaScript will be needed to pull each PDF's document file name (?).
So - Some other information associated with PDF document's file name -

Adding metadata to a book upon export as a pdf file

I have a collection of files that I'm exporting from Indesign (CS2) to the pdf format as a book. I want to add metadata. The files are exported to pdf with no changes allowed. Therefore, meta data cannot be added to the pdf file using Acrobat>File>Document Properties>Description after the pdf file's creation. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

At least with ID versions through CS4, if you use ID's Book feature to export a set of ID files into a single PDF, the PDF picks up the metadata from the first file in the set: the metadata for other files does not make it into the PDF. If you need individual files to carry unique metadata then you may want to look into PDF Portfolios -- though I guess those came in with Acrobat 8, meaning after CS2. One day we're supposed to get full object-level metadata for different things in a PDF, though perhaps a chunk of PDF pages -- a chapter in a book, for example -- still may not qualify as an "object."
The metadata categories availble through the standard ID interface are pretty limited, and heavily biased towards photography. As I mention in a comment in Bob's ID Secrets blog entry, Adobe makes available a versions of the XMP FileInfo SDK for various versions of ID that allow you to add additional categories (such as PRISM, for magazine articles).
Good luck!

Can't remove a watermark that I added to a pdf file.

I added a watermark to a pdf file with vba using the addwatermarkfromtext() command and saved the file. After opening the file and trying to remove the watermark, Acrobat says it can't find a watermark to remove. Any reason why?

Restart while holding the trackpad button, or open Terminal and type drutil eject

Merge pdf files in preview

I must be missing something. I've read the instructions for merging pdf documents in Preview, but it's just not working. Wants me to "duplicate" a file or something. This seems very un-Mac-like. I get 2 documents open, drag the thumbnails from one into another, one at a time, and then try to "Save As". Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I'm using Lion.
TIA!

This is because of the new versioning.
As I recall this is what I did.
Start with a new, blank preview page and then drag the other pdfs onto the blank form.
I am not sure how I created the new blank page. I may have created it with Adobe first.
It seems that one cannot use Preview alone to open a new blank pdf.
Now when you click Save you should be asked for a new name.
Otherwise, I think that preview will overwrite one of the other pdf files with the new files.
It's a bit confusing - I suggest experimenting with a few "scrap" pdf files first.
I wish Apple would put back the old "Save as" function. It is so much clearer and intuitive than the current scheme where often one has to search for the location of the file once it goes away.

Looking for comprehensive program to create pdf file from gif image

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can transform gif image file into pdf file. It is very importent to keep the same quality of the output document as the original image.
I've seen Bridge CS5 in action and was very much disapointed, because the original gif image had 2 colors: black and white, took 60k Byte A4 paper size. But the output pdf file became somehow to 700k Byte size. When our proffi tried to lower the ppi or quality bar there was direct impact on the image quality.
Long time ago Photoshop was able to export images as pdf files and one of the options of the pdf file was to keep the original image as gif, not as jpeg. Because jpeg is very costy format for black-white images and no-one wants to waste memory in vain, so I do not like to save pdf files of 1MB size for an image that takes 100k in gif.
I do understand that nowdays using Photoshop to save pdf files is not the option anymore, isn't it ?
What program can you suggest me to use ? I still prefer to use Adobe products, as long as I can, through I'm starting to get scared of sharp decline in quality.
Thank you in advance.
sincerely,
Al

No, I didn't. The last time I saw it, it was looking just as a regular Reader with a little more options and with an addon to MS-Office, to allow to save MS documents to pdf from inside MS-Office user interface products, and frankly, I do not highly admire there products at all, so I do not have MS-Office installed. But it was also long time ago. If the situation did changed since than, I will try it.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried the Acrobat. It worked great ! Thank you. Just not all the images have options how to save them in pdf file, but that's ok for now

Convert and combine many image files into a pdf file?

I have about 250 png and jpg files in a directory, and would like to convert and combine them into a pdf file.
I wonder what steps to do that in Acrobat Adobe 9 in Windows?
Requirements are:
They are named in the order of 0000.png, 0001.jpg, ..., 0250.png, in which I would like to create the pages of the resulting pdf file.
Also there may be some numbers (such as neither 0010.png nor 0010.jpg exists) missing, but still I would like the images be in the same order after creation of a pdf file.
I would like the pages in the resulting pdf file look to have the same or similar size.
But the numbers of pixels of the image files are different. Some are about 2000 x 3500 pixels, and some are about 800 x 1200 pixels.
I also would like to have control of the spatial resolution such as the dpi parameter
I also would like to OCR the pdf file (the images are scanned raster images).
I would like the resulting pdf file to take reasonable storage size on my disk.

You don't say what version of Acrobat you are using, but I expect you could do it with Acrobat XI's Actions feature. Maybe even in 10.0. Since this is an enterprise deployment forum, I suggest you find a better forum and ask about Actions and Batch Processing.
hth,

Safari doesn't display pdf file from within Dropbox

When I click on a link on a web page that takes me to a pdf file located in a shared Dropbox folder, Safari only gives me a solid black page and doesn't open the pdf file. All the other browsers do, Chrome, Firefox and even IE. How can I fix this? I have Mountain Lion and the latest version of Safari. Pdf-plugin-244 is installed. I tried the suggestion in another posting about viewing pdf files in Safari, and it didn't fix the problem.

Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.
Test without it.

Is it possible to burst PDF file on the email body itself?

Hi,
Is it possible to show the contents of a PDF file (or any file) on the email body itself and not as an attachment thru bursting control file? We want the message to look exactly as how it looks like in the PDF file, with all the formatting and stuff and not just plain text. So basically instead of the recipient having to open the attached document, we already want the contents of the document shown exactly on the email.
Thanks,
Ronaldo

Actually, I am using onunload() but the result is in-consistent. Sometimes file write to the folder, sometimes don't. I don't know why it behave like this.
Before onunload(), I tried this cep.util.registerExtensionUnloadCallback, and found out it's not working as expected.
Now thanks to you and David, I came to know aboutcom.adobe.csxs.events.ExtensionUnloaded but unfortunately this is also not working.
And then there is an event applicationBeforeQuit which only works when extension (html panel) get closed with host application (Photoshop etc.). If it is closed before the host then we don't get any call. Please let me know if I missed anything here.
So It looks like we don't have any option here rather than using onunload() which is giving in-consistent result. Can you please take a look into this, may be I am missing something?
Or may be another work around to store the preferences on closing of extension.
Thanks for all your help..

A great tip for reducing PDF file sizes (e.g. from scanned images)

I just found, and used this tip and was so impressed I had to share it!
http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/hacks/quality-reduced-file-size/
By the way, you can also easily combine pdfs using preview. Open the 'main' one that will be your final file. Go to View -> Sidebar. Drag the other pdfs that you want to join right into the side bar. It will just stack them on. Then save.

Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.
