Upgrading a .pdf content file without losing notes?

I have a .pdf file that I downloaded on O'Reilly (an 800-page textbook) that I've been reading with Adobe Reader. I've created a lot of notes and bookmarks. Yesterday I received a notice from O'Reilly that a revised version is available. Is there any way I can port over my notes from the previous version to the new .pdf file?
I'm on a Macbook Air running OSX 10.6.7.

Links are not inside the content stream, but it is usually impossible to reduce content stream size (except by removing content, of course).

Are the PDF files that you are attempting to Save As HTML tagged?

Exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks

exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks
anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?
i only have PDF reader on my machine, not the full PDF creator

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

How do I update linked FM files without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?

Hi,
I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project:
After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.
After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted.
Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?
Thanks a bunch!
Gabe

HI Gabe,
You will want to link the TOC from FM in your conversion settings, and set the map id's via TopicAlias markers in FM.

Excel to pdf and back without losing formatting

I have created an Excel spreadsheet to become a fillable form and have to add new information to the original excel file that is to be included on the fillable form. How do I do this without losing all of the work I created on the fillable form ie text, check, radio buttons and formatting of fields

Hi,
You may open that converted pdf form in Acrobat.
Go to > Tools > Forms > Edit.
Then make changes you would like to add for form fields. And if you want to Edit text. Toos> Content Editing.

Transferring Video Files without Losing Project Links

I know this issue must have been addressed in the archives, but I can't seem to find the specific issue. Hope someone can help. The online manual is no help.
My C: HDD is filling up with video files, and I'd like to move all video files (and future files) to a new 2TB disk that I have installed dedicated for that purpose. I intend to leave Premiere Elements 4.0 and my .prel projects in my existinng C: drive.
How do I do this safely, without losing the links between the raw video files and clips inserted in my project?? Thanks.

the Archiver seems straightforward, but I will then have my .prel project on a drive different from the Premiere program. Somewhere I read that this is possibly unstable. Any opinions?
Actually, this is preferred. On a two, physical HDD setup, allocation like this is best: Not sure where you saw a rec. to have the Project on the same drive as the program.
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)*
D:\ Project, Assets and Scratch Disks
If one has a 3 HDD I/O, this would be the best
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)
D:\ Project, and Scratch Disks
E:\ Assets
* A bit of experimentation might indicate that the Page File does better on another HDD, as far as ultimate performance is concerned. I have two different Page File locations, on two different machines. On one, splitting the statically managed Page File over C:\ and D:\ yielded the best performance, while on another computer, locating it fully on E:\ was best. Just depends, though locating on C:\ will usually be pretty good. For video-editing, I do like to statically manage the Page File, as is explained in this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Files without extensions not recognizing program

Recently I used my new lacie firewire drive to transfer files from my G4 to a PC laptop. Now the files on the Lacie (when I work on the G4) are missing their icons. Only files without the extension .ai, .m4a etc. Some files will open via right click and choose the program. Some will not open at all.
In every folder there is now a finder.dat and resource.
I read in a recent post about the finder.dat and resource. And now understand the relationship to the PC. This has never happened on my older Lacie drive which I've used between computers.
Is there a repair program I can run on the Lacie?

But for now is there a way to salvage the files that are
gray rectangles. So that they can recognize the program
from which they were created?
First, you do get credit for using some method of backing up. Thats more than many users do
If the files with generic icons were created on another Mac, and they will not open (or prompt you for a program to open), then you likely no longer have either an old copy of the program that created the file, or you do not have the OSX version of the program that created them, or both.
Given they are from a G3, I would suspect they are looking for a Classic based program, not an OSX based program.
First question: Is Classic installed on your new machine?
If not, you may want to install it. Presuming your G3 was up to OS 9.2.2, you should be able to simply copy the System Folder (Os9), as well as the Applications (OS9) folder from the G3 to the external to the G4.
Second question: Based on your folder structure, can you determine what program you originally used to create the file(s)?
If the answer to question 2 is yes, then try opening that program (or the latest version thereof) first, then using it's open... command to open the file that you cannot 2x click.
Once you successfully open the file in (whatever program), save the file. This should 'update' the file, change the icon, and make it 2x clickable from the finder.
If the files with generic icons were created on the PC, then you will need the Mac equivalent of the program, or a program you know can open the file. For these files, once again open the application, then use it's open... command to get to the file.
Keep in mind there may be some files you simply cannot open or run on the Mac. There are way too many to list, but some of the most common will be .MDB (MS Access),DLL,PIF,COM, EXE,CAB, & MSI.

Suddenly cannot place image or resize file without losing resolution quality. Is this a bug?

I have CS3 and have been using Photoshop for several years. Today I randomly encountered a problem I have never had before.
I created a new file, 468 x 60 pixels with a resolution of 200. I then placed a file of a 4.95MB photo in this file. The size of the photo is quite large (resolution also 200) and I should have had to resize it way down to fit in small 468 x 60 space I had.
Instead, it placed the photo as a much smaller image, almost like a thumbnail of the original. When I went to resize the photo to make it larger, the resolution was terrible.
So then I went to the original file of the photo, copied it, went back to the 468 x 60 file and pasted it. It pasted it as the true size, but when I decreased the size, the resolution went bad. How does that even make sense?
So then I went back to the original file of the photo again and resized it down from there. The resolution went downhill again!
I have tried this with multiple other photos and file sizes and dimensions. I cannot place any large photo file and keep its accurate dimensions/resolutions. I also cannot resize any photo down without losing pixel quality.
The only thing weird that showed up right at the beginning of this whole process was that the pixel aspect ratio window kept popping up even before I'd open a file (it has been set to square).
I have reset all PS preferences through ctrl-alt-shift. I have gone through the Adobe update process. I have done disk clean-up and cleared off nearly 10GB of room on my hard drive. I have restarted over and over. I have also tried this process in Illustrator and had no problems.
Is this a bug? A memory problem? Never have I run into this issue before and I feel like I'm going crazy!

You could make the top layer active and then Cmd-Shift-Option-E
(stamp visible).
Do the trim and crop and then delete the top layer afterwords.

How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

Hi Josialaers,
Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

Improving existing PDF image quality without losing text

I have finished PDFs, the result of an OCR process that produced text under image files. I would like to modify the lighting of the images without changing the text part of the PDF. Is this possible in any version of Acrobat Pro? And, if so, which version and how is it done?

I tried to do that, but I can't get Photoshop to deal withn the whole document--only single pages. and the document is over 200 pages long. I can save the PDF images in some image format and edit the batch, but then I can't get them reconnected to the text. (I have used batch processes in Photoshop, but it won't regard the PDF document as a batch.) So, I seem stuck wither way. It seems as if there is no way to improve images in a text-under-image PDF while using Acrobat Pro--which was my original question.
If there is a way that any one knows about, I would love to hear about it.

Upgrading mini to something else(without losing music)

hi, i don't know if this is the right forum or not so i apologize if it isn't. i have a 2 year old mini. the battery life is slowly skrinking(down to about an hour) and this is it's second battery. I plan on getting the newest ipod model fro christmas this year but i don't want to lose my songs(we will probably have a new computer by then too). I have all my 1000+ songs backed up to cd, but not burned. will i be able to restore the backed up music to a new ipod and itunes??
Is it better to just invest in the 80 or so blank cd's it will take to burn all of my music? this laptop is on it's last leg and has crashed before and i really don't want to lose my songs(that were ALL bought off of itunes D: )

I don't know what to do to download the music on my iPod onto my new PC.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Pdf content in other programs not working?

I've tried searching, but was not able to find much, so apologies if this has been discussed already.
Created an interactive pdf out of Indesign. Then, in Acrobat, added some web links around words, some around art. The links around text are underlined. Imported art (.pngs) that could be clicked (mouse over, up, down). Some basic stuff, nothing really fancy.
In acrobat and reader, it's all peachy. Everything looks and prints nice, and all links work. In Mozilla, the underlined words now have rectangles, and the imported art has no link, no mouse up/down look. In Foxit, the text links are fine, but the imported art looks washed out. In Internet Explorer, everything looks and works exactly as it should. Is there a check box I'm missing to make pdfs work universally in products, or should I put a notice that it is best viewed in Reader or IE? I know that not all programs are the same, and some people have their preferences set differently that what I may have.
Thank you.

By the way, do not ever save an interactive PDF with Preview and distribute it. Only work with the document within Acrobat. Preview causes all sorts of corruption. If you did save with Preview, don't bother trying to edit it in Acrobat and instead start from scratch if you don't have a copy as it was before it was saved with Preview.

How to save an illustrator file that contains gradients as a pdf print file without the gradients streaking on the print

When I create files in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign if the design includes gradients and I save or export it as a pdf for print, whenever I have the file printed the gradients often come out with lines and streaks in the print. I usually work around this by copying the gradient to a file of its own, save it as a jpeg, and then insert the jpeg back into the original file before saving it as a pdf. This can be a big hassle and I was wondering if there's a setting in illustrator, photoshop, and Indesign in order to avoid the hassle.

You would have to check your color management and things like overprint settings or the ink levels of the color components. Streaking is usually a sign of areas getting oversaturated and the automatic adjustments in the printer driver being unable to compensate. and then of course other factors may figure in like banding inherent in using gradients across large areas, out of gamut issues for certain colors and what have you. You'd have to be much more specific about all of that for anyone to even begin to advise specifically...
