What is a PDF Portfolio? | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

This video explains how to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro.
http://adobe.ly/yLb9tW

This video has the title "What is a PDF portfolio?", but instead of starting with a brief explanation of what is a PDF portfolio, it goes right into describing actions which I assume go to making such a portfolio.
This problem of skipping initial basic explanations permeates the computer world.  People who makes these videos jump over the explanations that people who want to learn don't know.

  • For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Read

    Hi,
    For the first time I am aware of a user has received a PDF that cannot be opened in Preview.
    The pdf opens to a splash screen showing, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." There is a large button showing " Get Adobe Reader 9"
    It is a 15Mb document but we cannot get beyond the splash screen in Preview so I have had to install Reader 9 for the user.
    Turns out the document is a very basic slideshow. It seems this is a new (to me) format of PDF which forces users to install Reader.
    Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
    Thanks,
    b .

    I doubt it, but perhaps others have better info...
    You can ask Apple to expand Preview's capabilities here:

    Personally I have never found Preview to be a complete substitute for Adobe Reader and always have both on my machine to deal with pdfs, which have a large number of possible variations in terms of version, features, and encodings.

  • Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

    Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how?  It appears as though it is a removed option.

    I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
    I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
    Step 1: Open a single file
    Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
    Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
    Step 4: Select "Add Files
    etc etc.

  • PDF portfolios in Acrobat X Pro - being viewed on the new XI reader version

    Hi
    We currently produce PDF portfolios in Acrobat X Pro - Can these be viewed on the new XI version without problems?
    I have heard from other people, that they experience issues - has anyone heard/seen this?
    Thanks

    Hi Chris.Parry,
    Portfolios created in Acrobat X Pro can definitely be viewed in version XI.
    If you've heard of issues between versions, it is probably regarding people trying to edit/update portfolios created in version 9. Portfolios created in version 9 are different than those in X and XI.
    Please see this page regarding A11 compatibility with Acrobat 9 Portfolios:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/overview-pdf-portfolios.html#overview_of_pdf_portfol ios
    and specifically this section:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/overview-pdf-portfolios.html#pdf_portfolios_created_ in_acrobat_9_acrobat_pro
    That said, testing is always a good idea. :-)

    Charlene

  • How do I create a welcome page for PDF portfolio in Acrobat X?

    When making portfolios in v9 i was able to add a welcome page to my PDF portfolio. However, since I upgraded I am no longer able to locate this fucntion. Does it still exist and if so how do i access it? If it doesn't exist can anyone explain to me why Adobe would think it wasn't a relevant feature and disable it in vX?

    You need to setup a script to handle this for you.  Typically most people do this with a solution like CPanels Web Host Manager.  But it depends on your server environment what you would use.

  • Installing complimentary PDF Portfolio into Acrobat XI Standard?

    I can download the complimentary PDF Portfolio and extract it from the zip, but when I open Acrobat, there are no instructions to follow (as the download page says there will be). And it isn't showing on the create menu. Ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi GooseG25
    Acrobat XI Standard doesn't have portfolio feature , it is available in Pro only.
    Please See : http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    Otherwise please let me know your exact workflow

  • Need to create a PDF Portfolio programatically using the Adobe SDK in C# from a Windows Service.

    What classes/methods should I be using?
    We need to create a PDF portolio from a windows service written in C#.
    We need to merge several PDF documents into a single PDF portfolio from our windows service (programatically).
    I have seen documentation in the Adobe help on how to do it using the Adobe UI, but we need to do this step programatically from our windows servie.
    Thanks!

    You can't access Acrobat from a service - since we won't run in Service mode...only in standard Application mode.  In addition, we don't run on a server.
    But if you were doing this from a standard application - then you'll want to read the JavaScript documentation in the SDK as well as the documents about the .NET/JS bridge.

  • PDF Portfolio on IPAD using Adobe X does not record notes and highlights

    Hello
    I have uploaded a PDF Portfolio and ADOBE Reader X to my IPAD and cannot highlight or annotate the documents. The pencil tool is greyed out. Is there a setting that I am forgetting to create?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Currently Adobe Reader on iOS does not allow annotations on documents that are part of a Portfolio, though this is something we would consider supporting in a future release.
    One way out is to extract the PDFs within the Portfolio (using Adobe Acrobat, for example) and individually editing them in Adobe Reader on iOS.
    Thanks,

  • Printing: Double-sided or Duplex | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

    How to print PDF pages double-sided or duplex in Acrobat or Adobe Reader X (not 10.1.2 or later).
    http://adobe.ly/yMEfay

    The print dialog that appears with Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 does not match this video in crucial ways and has no Properties tab for the printer. This means that one has to use the OS printer setup dialog box to invoke duplexing, and the result for me (before I realized and hit cancel) was a document printing the first 400-odd pages of 700-odd pages 3 times, and never printing the end of the document - that's a lot of unnecessary printing, and a big problem. There are no printer preferences to set/choose, so can someone please a) explain why the print dialog shown here does not match the one in the program (Mac) and tell me how to duplex using the actual tools available in the program? Thanks very much

  • Creating PDF Files from Microsoft Office | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

    This video explains how to create PDF files from Microsoft Office products including Office 2010 in Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/w5Vsg9

    I have used Print to PDF from the File Menu in Office many times. Normally it works fine, but for whatever reason, in MS Excel 2010, I have one file that will not Print.
    It allows me to select the Adobe Printer and save location, and when I hit "Print" it shows a dialog box for about 1/2 a second, but no progress meter, and the file isn't created. All other files work fine except this one - there aren't any security measures or special attributes in the file, it just doesn't physically create the PDF.
    Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have tried rebooting both Excel as well as the Laptop several times.

    - cannot open Adobe Application Manager it comes up with an error message "we have encountered some problems..." it then tries to update but fails.
    thanks

    - set up click adobe acrobat and it should add the missing files and works like a gem now

  • Extracting pages | Learn Acrobat XI | Adobe TV

    In this movie, Claudia McCue shows us how to extract pages from one document and save them in a separate PDF. She does this two different ways; one uses the Page Thumbnails panel dropdown menu and the second is by selecting the specific page thumbnails.

    The problem with the extract : the file containing the extracted page has the same size than the original file...
