Word Headings- ALL become bookmarks in the PDF
Just started using Acrobat X Pro. (bought with TCS4)
When I make a Word 2010 document into a pdf, ALL the Word headings seem to become bookmarks visible in the left pane of Acrobat or the Reader, and of the main chapter hedaings, every subsection is expanded!
Previously, with Acrobat 6, my manuals were created with only the chapter headings visible and these were all collapsed. It looked much neater and the reader could then expand the chapter he or she needed.
I checked the options that I could find but I don't see how to ensure only the chapter headings are initially visible in the bookmaks pane and the sub headings only appear when you expand a main heading.
I tried searching the forum too but couldn't see a topic like this.
By the way, did Adobe sales know that Acrobat XI was about to be released when I bought TCS4 with Acrobat X a couple of weeks ago??
Seems it would have been fair to offer me an upgrade to XI when Iwas buying TCS4 so close to release of Acrobat XI !
Is there a way to ensure the Word headings are listed correctly in the bookmarks pane?
I checked that but even though I have headings 1,2 and 3 selected,the pdf is created with bookmarks that are not correct.
I did some more tests and I found that different documents do come out with different problems in the bookmarks, but the common factor I realised is that bookmarks are created in the wrong order and wrong priority (i.e. indent levels) and many are missing and should have appeared based on the selections I made on the preferences.
I have discovered how to drag a bookmark manually to be under a main heading etc. then save the document again but this is time consuming and needs redoing every time (sometimes I have to update the same manual several times a day, when errors are discovered or additions are made; many manuals are involved too.)
I don't know if this is a configuration issue or if it is a bug.
Could there be problems caused by Word formatting?
More analysis shows me that:
1. many of our documents are in word 2003 format (.doc) so others without Word 201 can open them, although I am now using Word 2010.
2. Our manuals are formatted using 2 column tables throughout, with sub headings in the left column and text and images in the right column.
3. I found many areas of the tables where the left column has a heading format code hidden inside, even though there is no heading text in there.
I tried setting a lot of these to "normal" style and saved then reconverted to pdf but I don't think this made a difference.

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!
There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1 - this also works at the book level for all files in the book). -
Bookmark in the PDF goes to last page of the table
Why would converting a Word document with a multiple page table that has repeating Headers, cause the bookmark in the PDF go to the last page of the table not the first page?
I'm using Word 2010, Windows 7, Acrobat X ProThanks David ! What are my options (tuning) at my end. Indicies at the database end, Cache the Report anything else ? Also download to excel is taking long time.

How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.
This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files in Cyrillic.
I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I am now asking for my
money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
not successful.

A font not used in an MS Word doc is showing up in the PDF properties and won't embed
A friend needed a new manuscript uploaded to a publishing site. I retyped it in MS Word (2007) using NO formatting shortcuts and using only ONE font (Georgia) for both body and headers/footers. Placed all the jpg illustrations on the pages. Then saved it in the required PDF format for the publisher's system to use. They also require that ALL fonts/symbols are embedded. Even ONE character that is not embedded will void the file. I'm now on attempt 17.
When I checked the properties on this PDF file, the font I used, including italics, symbols and bolding, are noted as embedded. However, it also says that there is ARIEL font (which I did not use) that is NOT embedded. AARRGGHH.
This gal wants her book ready in two weeks. HOW can I resolve this? Any ideas? I saved it once through MS Word using the PDF option, but also tried it through my Photoshop Elements. Same result. My PC uses Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) and the Adobe Reader XI.0.7. The Java files are the most current update as of yesterday.It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements. -
How to display all PO data in the PDF form?
Hi,experts,
I create a WDJ application with the PDF form for print all PO sheet.
I can transfer all data from WDJ to PDF form.
I need continuous print all PO sheet that include header and items.
After I run the application, I found only the one PO header and one items in the PDF FORM.
I think the config of the adobe form is error.
The version of the adobe livecycle designer is 7.1.
Do you give me some hint?
Best regards,
taoHi, Chintan,
Thanks a lot for your reply so quickly.
I have check the config of the "Repeat Row for each item" according your word.
I change the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" for the PO items, and the PO items is ok after I run the application.
But the pdf is only one PO sheet, not all PO sheet.
I found the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unabled in the HEADER subform. I think it is the cause for the problem.
But I don't know how to enable the HEADER subform because the check box of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unable in the subform of the header.
Do you give me some hint? Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!
Best regards,

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you
I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name -
I have Adobe Reader XI. All my files have a picture on the first page. I used to be able to see that picture but now I can only see the PDF logo. How can I change that so I can see the pictures instead of the logo?

All my bookmarks and bookmark bar entries were gone when I installed Mountain Lion on my IMac. When I installed in on my two MB Pros, they carried over without a problem. How can I retrieve them? Thanks.
jnMake an archive copy from one of the MBP (File>Export Bookmarks). You may not need it, but if things sync the wrong way on iCloud, you may lose them on all your devices.
Then check out iCloud on the iMac. Is your stuff on iCloud.com? Maybe try logging out and back in again. -
I like to have instant access to all my bookmarks as I keep my RSS links and current projects up there. When there are too many to fit in one row across the screen firefox makes a little pull down menu at the end with all the rest in. I find this really annoying, its just the same as the normal bookmarks menu; I find it really hard to keep things organised when I can't see them all the time. I would like it to make a second or even third row in the tool bar so I can always see all my current RSS and Pages. Can I do this? If it wont work on firefox does anyone know of another FS, OS or FOSS browser that will?
Unfortunately, the extension does not work with Firefox 4, and Alice have no intentions to upgrade it.

I uninstalled firefox then reinstalled firefox. because I did not like a couple of add-ons that I wanted to remove. I thought I would still have all of my bookmarks. However, all my bookmarks were cleaned out with the new installed version. Then I tried to Repair Windows in System Restore to back track a few days in hope to recover the old version of firefox. It did not get back the old version and no bookmarks. I still get the new version with no bookmarks. Please advise me how to recover my bookmarks.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

PLEASE HELP!... I am seriously freaking out... I use my Toolbar all the time!... and ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE ALSO!
I am not an expert or even close, and I offer this only because this is how I figured out how to do it. I used a similar approach to importing all email accounts, email content and the address book into a new version of Thunder bird, but I assume this is common knowledge.
My system:
Windows 7 64 bit, recently upgraded from XP64. Installed Mozilla Aurora but seems the same as recent Firefox versions with respect to these features.
Limitation:
This solution depends on whether or not automatic backups were done of the bookmarks when you used your old installation. They were on my system and I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did. Others might know if this is periodically done by default. Assuming you have some backup (*.json) files,
Locate your the bookmark backup files from the old version of your browser. On XP it was located in
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bookmarkbackups
Each of the bookmark backup files look like this example:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
They might also be located one folder deeper, in my case:
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x72qybcl.default\bookmarkbackups
Again, they will look like this:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
Copy all of these .json files to the backup folder on your new installation. On my new Windows 7 file system system I found their new home at:
C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ptl24i3.default\bookmarkbackups
On an XP system I'm sure they would be found along a path, possibly on a differed drive, similar to where your got them from as above.
I fired up Aurora. Drop down "Bookmarks" tab, Select "Show All Bookmarks" (found near the bottom). This brings up the "Library" window. At the top of the window is a tab "Import and Backup". Click this and select "Restore". All of the prior backup files will be available indexed by the date of backup. Select one and all of your prior bookmarks will be repopulated, including the bookmarks Toolbar.
Hope this helps. -
Old compuer died; how do i get all my bookmarks to the new computer?
My old computer has crashed. Is there a way I can retrieve my old bookmarks on line and transfer them to my new computer?
Where you using Firefox Sync on the old PC? <br/>
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/What+is+Firefox+Sync
If not, were you using something else to store your bookmarks "online"? Like maybe Xmarks or Delicious??
If you weren't using anything for saving /sharing bookmarks online or for "syncing" your bookmarks, they aren't "online".
Do you have the hard drive from the old PC? If so, maybe that hard drive would work long enough for you to be able to access your files on the old drive if it is put in a USB enclosure and plugged into the new PC? <br />
