Taking a PDF-protected slide and using in powerpoint

I need to copy a pdf-saved slide presentation and use it in a new powerpoint presentation. How do I do it? I have adobe reader 9.5.5 and internet help tells me to use the snapshot tool, but I do not have that on my version. There are also software products available promising help but I hesitate to download software from the internet.

There is no easy way to go back from a PDF to PowerPoint.
My recommendation would be to use Grab (comes with all Macs) to capture the portion(s) of the PDF slides that you want to use and paste them into a new PowerPoint presentation. Or you could just reconstruct the PowerPoint from scratch. Unless you have graphics embedded in the PowerPoint, sometimes that is just the easiest way to reconstruct the PPT. And you can still use Grab to copy the graphics.
That said, you might try the Wondershare PDF converter (from the Mac App Store). They have a decent reputation all around and the app seems to do what you need.

Attach pdf to email and use text from field in body

I'm looking to create a fillable form with a 'submit' button at the bottom. Upon clicking the submit button, I would like an e-mail window to open with a pre-defined recipient, and the pdf attached. I've found code to accomplish this using this.mailDoc()
However:
I'm also hoping to get the text from the "Name" field of my form and use it in the body of the e-mail.
I've found the following code in another post, which appears to work for this:
var cClientName = this.getField("ClientName").value;
var cAddress = this.getField("Address").value;
var cBody = "Client Information:\n\n";
cBody += "Client Name: " + cClientName + "\n";
cBody += "Address: " + cAddress + "\n";
var myURL = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Client Info&body=";
myURL += cBody;
app.launchURL(myURL, true);
That will open an e-mail window with a body containing the data from AcroForm fields named "ClientName" and "Address".
The problem is, that this code will not attach the pdf.
How can I get the best of both worlds?
Thanks!

You don't need launchURL to achieve that. mailDoc is capable of setting the
subject line, email body, recipients lists, etc.

Adobe Reader 8 open pdf very slow and used lots of memory

I use the Adobe Reader 8 to open a pdf(the pdf size not bigger than 100k)
but when i open it, it take long time to load it and use so many memory,
also, i do not have this problem on using adobe reader 7, would any one know the reason?
Thx for everyone.

Alright, i know, you can't bare to part with it, you need it, etc.etc...
try here, its an adobe reader speed up program
http://software.bootblock.co.uk/?id=adobereaderspeedup
It's a bit old though.
Also, do you have the stupid adobe startup program for reader running? This speeds up the loading of adobe reader while simultaneously slowing down your whole system. Great tradeoff.
Get foxit!
Adobe sucks!

Uncheck "Create PDF Compatible File" and "Use Compression" as my default save preference?

We have discovered that unchecking the "Create PDF compatible file" generates much smaller .ai files when saved. Since we do not need them to be PDF compatible we want to save them this way every time. But right now every time we go to save a file the box comes up pre-checked! We have to uncheck it every time! Surely there is a preference setting somewhere that we can change so that the default is for these boxes to come up unchecked?
I have looked under preferences and do not see it.
Thanks

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
Usually those settings could be changed by modifying the AIPrefs file.

Password protection compatibility and using from our website

I have a spreadsheet that was created in Excel 2013 with each sheet password protected, and there are two problems with opening it in Excel 2003, on a computer that has the Microsoft compatibility add-on fileformatconverters.exe that allows it to open files
created with later versions.
1) When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2003, I can unprotect it without entering the password. Is there a way to require the password in 2003, same as when someone opens it in Excel 2013?
2) I posted a link to the spreadsheet on our website. If I try to open it from the website with Excel 2003, it thinks it is a zip file. I can save it to my desktop by changing the file extension to xlsx, but is there a way to make it so that outside
users can simply click on the file and it recognizes the file type?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with these two issues.

It's actually very easy to password protect a non-iWeb site on MobileMe.
But you need iWeb first.
Go to MobileMe and make a copy if your current index.html file.
Start iWeb.
Create a Site.
Select password protect in the setup and publish to MobileMe
Visit your site and make sure it displays the login window.
Do not login otherwise you cannot verify it in the next steps.
Go to MobileMe again and open the folder with the Sitename.
Delete everything you see.
Publish your RW pages to that folder.
Delete the index.html file in the root and rename your copy index.html again.
Now visit your protected Site.
Enter the details.
Your RW site will show.
Go back to iWeb.
Change the publish settings to folder. No need to select one.
You can now safely deelte the Site if you want.
Or keep the site and make a note on the page to remember the password in the future.
Practice.

Flash 10 install issues and use with PowerPoint

Hi feeling really frustrated now and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quick solution.
I'm running Windows 7, Flash 10.0.32.18 (now the Beta 10.1 in desperation) and I haven't had to reinstall flash on start up until last night so that was an unfortunate down turn of events for me and not even the reason for searching the forums.
My issue started as I stood in front of one of my classes (I work in a College) with PowerPoint 2007 and a lesson ready to go and the Flash images that had always worked refused to be anything other than a still image with no interaction.
Unfortunately when I upgraded to Windows 7 I carried out a clean install and reinstalled Office along with the latest versions of Flash, Shockwave etc. I say unfortunately because I now have no way of knowing where the problem lie. On asking, Microsoft are adamant that it is an Adobe issue and the forum would seem to back this up.
On investigation I found that when looking at a slide the object was identified as a Flash object but I can't view any properties, also 'insert a shockwave flash object' is not available in the control toolbox. This would indicate that Flash is not installed even though viewing flash on the internet has not been an issue.
The last issue that may help toward a solution is that when trying to view an .swf file I'm informed that I need to have FlashPlayer installed (I have) and when trying to use a third party flash player such as SWF Opener it also asks me to install flash.
Like everyone else here I've installed, uninstalled all Flash etc. more times than I care to remember now.
I'm not that technically minded when it comes to the nitty gritty of software operation and programming, I just like things to work.
Please help as the most important thing I use my laptop for I now can't!!!!

gm377!!!!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Talk about famous 3 words, It's All Fixed is what I love to hear ! Well good for you, bet you are glad
that is done and as I like to say when all of the ducks are in a row, FP is a piece of cake! It is always
the ducks that cause the problems.
You asked about the dates in manage add ons, as far as SFO is concerned and FP 10 it is more exact
to look at Add/Remove, the screen shot I have shows Adobe Flash Player 10 Plug in and the date is
11/18/09 probably when you did one of the Un/In stalls or the beta and it logged the correct version
there in Add/Remove. However in the 1st screen shot of add ons, SFO is not even listed, probably due
to the Uninstall and Reinstall actions. I have noticed Windows updates are listed in my Add/Remove, not
when I install them, but when Microsoft issued them and maybe Adobe does the same thing. Then I have
XP3/IE6, so you have differences there too. In my add on for example, no dates are shown and when I
updated my SFO Active X (I can do that with IE6:-) I know when I did it. Even though you had Shockwave
Flash Object listed you did not have the Flash10c.ocx which is the ActiveX CONTROL, the engine if you will
that Flash Player 10 works together with so all Flash websites, youtube, etc need. Think of having a gas pedal
and no gas in the tank, everything works together:-) The plug in you installed today was the Flash10c.ocx, the
gas. Go look.
Hey are the slides working now too?
Ok, I'll take a Christmas card
Well thanks for the "star" and appreciation and the best to you!

Taking zip, pdf and excel file Offline

Hi All,
The App has fixed number of zip, pdf and excels (10, 15, 5) files which periodically gets updated, using the updated feature the app updates all the files currently.
Is there a way where the App can replace all the updated files offline from the server "offline synnchronization" .
srinath

Yes, but it's very complicated and requires a set of custom-made scripts.
The easiest way of doing it is by converting the Excel file to a plain-text
file (like a CSV file) and then attach that file to the PDF and use it as
the data source for the script that populates the fields.

Need protected files and a .pdf proof in InDesign

Im fairly new to InDesign and have just completed an announcement and have it saved. Now, I am wanting to create a .pdf to submit to someone else to look at it, but I dont want them to be able to edit it at all (like a proof). So, does that mean that I need to first "pack" my files, then flatten it, then create the .pdf? Ive never done any of these and I am having a hard time understanding what "flatten" actually is.
I know of people who use Photoshop who flatten their work before providing any .pdf or .jpeg files so that others are not able to modify their work. The other reason I want my work not to be modified is that there are elements in the announcement for which I have purchased from others (they use Photoshop). They have requested that any elements that I have purchased from them be flattened, so that it protects their work (and of course, I want to protect mine as well).
In the mean time, I will continue to search the forums for answers.
Thank you!
Tina
Oh and let me just add this info as well...I have 10 layers. FYI: i just read some info about flattening in Photoshop (although Im using ID)...keep everything editiable, do a copy merge, combine elements to keep file size low (so you dont have to flatten) and flatten for transparecies. Confused.

Thanks Peter,
Yes, I agree with your first statement. Im guessing the elements I am buying are being custom made by the person Im buying from and they want to ensure its not being taken by non buyers. If its not secure, someone could just move the element into a file on their computer and use it anyway they want and not buy it from the party who made it. So it appears that the parties Im buying the elements from seem to believe that flattening their work prevents files from being stolen as they have it written in the TOU's that their work is copyrighted and when I buy an element I get a TOU on how I can use it commercially. Some sellers are picky on how you can use their work..and I must use the purchased element in a new creation as part of my work and flatten it before I distribute it.
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I would not ever see any clients face to face as they'd purchse my announcements online. For the most part, purchasers of my work would be consumers who know nothing about ID, so I could trust that they would not be able to edit my files. However, there could be others who do know how to use such publishing software....either clients or those who also make announcements as well.

Protect PDF from add and delete with rights to add comments

Hi,
Can anybody help me to protect my PDF (created Using Acrobat 7) without any rights to add or delete text, but I or others should have the rights to add sticky comments.
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for your intention to give solution.
I got a solution, now I can add comments with protecting the PDF from adding and deleting the text.

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

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.

Interactive PDF form on Android, can I make a form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I have an interactive PDF form on Android, is there any way to make a form field that will open the camera and insert the photo in the field?

One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.
