Unable to select Edit in Adobe PDF Portfolio?

I'm using Adobe XI with flash player 11.7.700.202, which I believe is the current version, and I'm unable to select the 'Edit' button as it appears that it's been disabled. Please direct me to a solution.
Note: it worked just fine in Adobe Pro 9.

The portfolios are created through Outlook (sync'd from Gmail for multiple printing) using Adobe XI Pro so your comment above answers part of this question.
We had created portfolios using Lotus Notes and Adobe Pro 9; I was able edit the 'Description' when I had to print specific emails and I was even able to change how the emails were displayed (layout).
Can you tell me if there will be a fix/update for this?

How to: Flatten Adobe PDF Portfolio containing email and attachments

How do you flatten an Adobe PDF Portfolio in Adobe XI Pro. The Portfolio contains emails with various attachments. I need to produce a single PDF with all emails and attachments as "images/pages" (as they would appear when printed). Attachments need to follow their corresponding email in order. All links, metadata, etc. will be stripped out and various text redactions applied to the final PDF.

I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

How do I open the Special Edition Acrobat X PDF Portfolio themes?

I chose these themes as my complimentary benefit when I installed Acrobat X, and downloaded the ZIP file to my hard drive without incident. I then extracted the files within the ZIP file. However, when I open Acrobat, and attempt to import the four themes, my browser won't recognize that the files are there - and I have no option to search for "All Files" or otherwise change the three-letter extension.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Tom

In Acrobat X PDF Portfolios there are two levels of "templates" to customize the style of the document interface.
A Layout (internally called a "navigator") has the file extension .NAV and controls the layout of the Portfolio, the way the cards animate, where the scrollers are, and so forth. Layouts are written in Flex.
A Theme is a SWF file "skin" which is applied over the top of a Navigator - this is what's in the Special Edition pack. Standalone Themes are usually drawn in Flash Pro or Illustrator, and contain no code. They're simply a collection of graphics with pre-defined symbol names.
To apply a Theme, create/open a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro, and from the Edit Pane, choose Visual Themes -> Import Custom Theme, and select the SWF. It will be embedded into the PDF Portfolio, but won't be permanently-added to the Acrobat panes. Themes can be applied to almost any Layout, but each time you change the Layout your theme will be reset.
There's a detailed video explaining how all these things work on AUC.

Is there any way to print multiple attachments from an Adobe PDF Portfolio without having to open each attachent individually?

We have a large PDF Portfolio with many attachments and would like to print those items all at once without opening every single attachment. I would think think that this is possible considering I took the files from outlook 2003 and you are able to print an email and its attachments in that program. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

Portfolios only support the printing of PDF files (more specifically, PDF files whose security permissions allow printing). You can print all PDF files in a Portfolio without opening them all simply by opening the Portfolio and clicking on the print button in the Portfolio toolbar. If desired, you can also limit it to a selection of PDF files.
Unfortunately non-PDF files will need to be opened and printed individually from their respective apps.

Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages

I have created a PDF portfolio using the “Grid” template in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. The Portfolio contains three pdf files. I am getting the following problem when I open the pdf Portfolio in Adobe Reader X and XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Open the PDF portfolio
Click on pdf3
Preview mode displays the correct document and pages.
Close the preview of pdf3
Click on pdf2
Preview mode displays pages from pdf3,not pdf2 (see screenshot below).
Some observations:
If pdf1 has two pages, and pdf2 has ten pages, pdf2’s preview contains pdf 1 (pages 1-2) and then pdf2 (pages 3-10).
If I continue to open pdfs the preview contains pages from all the pdfs I have opened in the portfolio (this depends on how many pages the document I am currently previewing has). It is not just caching the last pdf opened.
Preview mode always displays the correct NUMBER of pages (i.e., if there are ten pages in a pdf, there will be ten pages in the preview. They will just be the wrong pages).
Turning off local page cache (preferences > page display) does not fix the problem.
Adobe Reader is up-to-date and Flash is up-to-date. I have replicated the problem on different computers, and in Adobe Reader X and XI, and Pro XI. I have also created muliple pdf portfolios from scratch to confirm the pdf portfolio itself wasn't corrupt.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Users are getting very confused when their preview shows them a completely different document.
Thanks for any help

We have the same problem. Everything's up to date. Adobe needs to address this issue!! The portfolio feature is a great idea, but this glitch basically ruins it. If you come by this page with the same problem, make sure you leave a reply. Maybe Adobe will actually pay attention if there are enough complaints.

Editing in Adobe PDF Pack?

Hello,
I'm thinking about buying an annual license for the Adobe PDF Pack but I have a question about editing. Based on the research I've done on the Acrobat.com website it seems that editing an existing PDF file (such as deleting a page) is not possible with the Adobe PDF Pack. It seems that the same applies to the creation of a new PDF file from scratch. Is my understanding correct, and if it is, why is that?
Thanks in advance
BR

Correct, PDF Pack does not allow any editing of PDFs, including page deleting. Combining existing PDFs (whole files) is as far as it goes.
It does create PDF files.
From your question I think you may be assuming that there exists a PDF editor that everyone uses to make PDFs, like Word is used to make documents. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Editing PDFs in Acrobat is possible sometimes but this is a desperate last resort. PDF files are always made by converting from YFA (Your Favourite App) - this is a great strength of PDF, you don't have to learn new editing tools.

Having to select 'Convert to Adobe PDF' twice to make it work

The first time I want to convert a document to Adobe PDF (after having started my PC), I have to click on 'convert to Adobe PDF' twice before a pdf document is actually created.
The first time, the process runs as normal, but it just doesn't convert to a pdf document before I select 'convert to..' again.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Never had this problem. You may want to check the version (HELP>About) and see if you are updated. It may be that updating Acrobat will resolve the issue. The current version is AA8.1.6. Be sure to install updates in order. You can access the updates either through Acrobat (I never go that route) or from Adobe.com > Downloads>updates>WIndows Acrobat.

Is there a way to correct Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages

Whether the portfolio is created in Acrobat X or XI, or viewed in X or XI, (and these are created as a grid) , the preview of the pdf shows pages of the previously viewed pdf within that portfolio. Acrobat and Flash is up to date.

IE crashes when a Drop Down is selected in a Adobe PDF form

Hi,
We are using Adobe forms in a Web Dyn pro application, we are facing a strange problem:
when we open a PDF and try to select a Drop Down [say DD1], IE is CRASHNG DOWN [Browser gets closed].
This happens only when we try to select a value from a particular Drop Down [say DD1].
This happens only in QUALITY Environment and working fine in DEV and PROD Environments.
If we do not touch the Drop Down DD1 and select the values from other Drop Downs [DD2.etc] we are able to get the values and its working fine. Please help me.
Thank you,
Nagaraju

Hi Aviad Levy,
We are not assigning any default value to the Dorp Down, so values are not visible.
I tried chaging the Drop Down to Input filed and tab sequence is fine now. I am planning to create a Drop Down again and assign the same attributes and try.
Thanks & Regards
Nagaraju

Adobe Reader 10 - How to Edit Locked Adobe PDF

I am trying to fill out a Financial Aid form for my college. The link to the form is on their website & it says the form is interactive & may be completed before printing. However, when I click the form's link, the file opens but I cannot edit it (begin to fill out the form as the website says can be done. The security setting in the toolbar says the document is locked but has an open and edit password. Is the only way to unlock this document to edit is to use a password??

Adobe Acrobat X Pro: Create PDF Portfolio not previewing Word docs

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Word documents won't preview on an Adobe PDF Portfolio, while other Office documents (Excel, PowerPoint, etc) will. It only shows a Word icon on the preview and you have to double-click the file to open it on actual word. This is not the way Acrobat is supposed to behave.
NOTE: Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 (latest version) and Office 2010 Suite w/ SP1 installed.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a PDF Portfolio
2. Add Word (.doc, .docx) files to the Portfolio
3. Click on Preview and you will see a Word icon instead of a thumbnail preview.
Results:
You will see a word icon
Expected results:
A thumbnail preview of the document like it happens with Excel, PowerPoint, etc...
Can you guys reproduce this error? What do you think?

Here is what I am talking about...
Those files should be previewed and not just display a thumbnail with a Word icon.

Printing selected pages of a PDF to Adobe PDF

I have Acrobat 9, Windows 7, and was happily creating new files from existing PDFs by printing selected pages to Adobe PDF. After having done this a hundred times or so, the process stopped working. I got this message: "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.'" Then I get a message, "The document could not be printed." Then I get a message, "There were no pages selected to print."
First, I wasn't having any problems up to this point; second, I'm not trying to create a postscript file, I'm just trying to print to Adobe PDF (as in, just page 3 of a six-page document."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
I got the following error message:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
When running the line
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
Seems there's no installation package there...
Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

Troubleshooting Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios and Flash Player

Urgent Issue. We have a large number of corporate reference files in Adobe PDF Portfolios, created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
(1) Since Adobe moved the Flash Player to a separate stand-alone app, the contents of the existing PDF Portfolios are not visible or accessible.
(2) I created a new PDF Portfolio to troubleshoot the problem. After adding files to the Portfolio the files are not visible either. Adding the same file a second time triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in any of the layouts.
I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate app when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 installed as a separate app.
How do I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original functionality?

I found the followinginformation on Adobe’s website which indicates rendering flash content wasturned off in v9.5.1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/04/background-on-security-bulletin-apsb12-08.
html
When you get the error, itrefers you to a webpage with a link for a flash player download:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-acrobat-flash-player-download.html#mai
n_download
Please note that The Adobe flash player you have installed on your machien is different from the NPAPI version of flash player. So you need to have both of these versions of Falsh player installed on your machine.
