I am trying to combine multiple pdfs into one file and all my bookmarks disappear in the final file (using either the combine file function or create portfolio options). How can I keep my bookmarks and combine files into one large file?
Thanks in advance!
The company I work for deliver projects with final documentation consisting of between 100.000 and 500.000 pages. Typically we expect some 1,5 GB per every 30.000 set of pages.
In the typical project all this documentation is delivered to us from some 200 sub-suppliers all over the world with different programs, settings, scanners, PDF programs etc. This means that the documentation we receive is of different quality and file size for every submission.
As an example, on supplier might deliver some 200 pages with a file size of 200 MB while another supplier compile 200 pages in only 10 MB.
Our final documentation is typically a compilation of many sub documents, some 2000 to 10000 individual documents / document numbers. This means every document is opened by us as a PDF before we compile the final documentation.
I want to know the best possible settings for achieving the optimal compromise between file size and quality for this kind of file size. A few criteria's:
- Every page needs to be text recognized to make the document searchable
- Many pages is already scanned / copied from our sub-suppliers, meaning that the quality can be limited. We can't decrease the quality making the documents unreadable.
- Every page needs to be of a recognized format meaning that it needs to work perfectly with the most common PDF software's and for printing purposes.
Please be specific in your answers. I am looking for detailed setting to configure the Adobe Acrobat properly for this task.
I foresee a combination of solutions:
- Adobe PDF printer and related settings
- Text recognition and related settings
- Reduced size PDF and related settings
- Optimized PDF and related settings
The settings needs to be general enough to work perfect with all different kind of PDF files our sub-suppliers provide to us. We want to optimize all documents the same and typically lack time to elaborate with the settings for each and every set of documents.
The final compiled file we deliver to our customer shall be locked for editing if that has any impact.
how do you insert a button on a pdf to email the completed form to someone
In outlook, I select a message and convert the message to a pdf . In the email there are file .doc .ppt . If i convert i find in the new PDF all the attachment files (.doc and . ppt.). How can i convert also the attachments in pdf with a only one conversion from outlook? I would want to have also the attachments in pdf.
I checked my conversion settings in the adobe pdf menu within outlook and the option " add all attachments in the adobe pdf file" is selected.
Hi, I have a collection of PDF forms and it's kind of annoying that the mouse cursor keep changing from arrow to caret every time it hovers a text.
Being it a form I would like that caret cursor show up only when the mouse hovers a fillable field.
I would like to know if there is a way to turn the text selection OFF for regular texts? I am on Acrobat XI.
Thanks!
OK, this is a tricky question.
I created a form PDF with Acrobat XI where among other things the user can make a drawing using the "freehand drawing" tool.
However IF he makes a drawing (and ONLY IF he does that) I have to turn a message on the form; and the message should become visible only AFTER he starts to draw and not when he picks the tool.
I know how to change things visibility by using OCG layers with JS.
My question is: does it exist any event attached to the "freehand drawing" tool that allows me to detect when it starts being used? I mean, something like an 'startDrawing' event or so?
Thanks!
I've seen this discussed before concerning Acrobat XII and it being supposedly "fixe" in DC.
I'm trying to get four MS Word 2010 files combined into a single PDF. However, none of the bookmarks are coming over into the final PDF. All I get are the MS Word file titles as bookmarks. This works in much older versions of Acrobat (i.e., V. 9.) but for some reason has faulted out on DC.
Hello,
I created a PDF form in which has a button that emails the form as an attachment. When using this button on a Windows computer, the following error occurs:
On other Windows computers it works flawlessly, the button opens the default email application and attaches the PDF. So I understand this is specific to certain computers. Any support would be greatly appreciated!
Several of our users are having issues printing emails to PDF using the PDFmaker plugin from IBM Notes. The users click the toolbar button, which should yield a PDF portfolio with the email as a PDF document inside - and that PDF-email should contain the attachments.
What they receive instead is a portfolio holding a PDF-email with only the email headers - the email body is missing/blank. The attachments are available sometimes, other times they won't open. In all the case, the portfolio's filesize suggests that it's complete - including body and attachments. The issue only seem to happen with some emails holding PDF attachments but that might or might not be correct.
We've tried repairing and re-installing, we've also upgraded from Acrobat X on Lotus Notes 8 to Acrobat DC on IBM Notes 9FP8 - but no joy. We're able to print to PDF using other methods but our users really wish to keep using the toolbar plugin to embed the email attachments with a single click. This feature is pretty much the only reason we haven't migrated to Bluebeam Revu yet, so a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone encountered and fixed this issue? Thanks!
I spent a couple of hours trying to fix this problem. On images when converting docx to pdf by using the acrobat tab in the word documents, black thin lines appear all the time on the images. From the preference button under the same tab, in the advanced section I removed "smooth line to curves" and "shades", but these lines still do not disappear. When I print with "abobe pdf" from words print button, everything is perfect, but I lose the bookmarks. This is irritating. Any solutions? Thanks.
We are a law firm that regularly receives thousands of emails from clients for potential use. We are looking for a product that will allow us to do the following:
1. Take outlook files (.pst files) and batch convert them to pdf (rather than clicking through them one-by-one).
2. As part of that conversion, also convert any attachments embedded in the individual email files.
I have been told by colleagues that Adobe Acrobat can perform this task, but unable to determine how to do so despite repeat attempts.
Is it possible to create an accessible PDF from Ilustrator--minimizing the post-production tagging requirements in Acrobat?
It is not possible to convert my Excel (2003) file into a PDF. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC tells me that my file is damaged. What can I do?
Hello all,
I use following code on a pdf to check if after clicking the "save" button
all or none of mandatory fields are empty:
var i_sum;
var i;
var RequiredFields = new Array(14);
RequiredFields[0]="T_UNTERNEHMEN";
RequiredFields[1]="T_BPNR";
RequiredFields[2]="T_TEL";
RequiredFields[3]="T_ANSPRECHPARTNER";
RequiredFields[4]="T_EMAIL";
RequiredFields[5]="T_PROJEKTNAME_NR";
RequiredFields[6]="T_KUNDENNAME";
RequiredFields[7]="T_ANGEBOT_NR";
RequiredFields[8]="T_BEGRÜND";
RequiredFields[9]="T_PROJEKT";
RequiredFields[10]="T_REGULÄRER_NETTOPREIS";
RequiredFields[11]="T_ERFORDERLICHER_NETTOPREIS";
RequiredFields[12]="T_NAME";
RequiredFields[13]="T_ORT_DATUM";
var fld = 0;
i_sum=0;
var fieldCount = RequiredFields.length
for (var i=0; i < fieldCount; i++)
{
fld = this.getField(RequiredFields[i]);
if (fld.value.length==0)
{
i_sum=i_sum+1;
}
}
if((i_sum==0) || (i_sum==fieldCount))
{
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
}
else
{
app.alert("File can be saved, if no or all mandatory fields have an entry ... Der Speichervorgang kann erst erfolgen,
wenn entweder in allen gelben Pflichtfeldern kein Eintrag existiert oder wenn in jeder Zelle eine Information eingetragen wurde.",1,0,"Hinweis");
}
Fact:
If pdf (including mandatory fields) is opend, two menu bars exists (keywords or symbols).
Requirement:
Is it possible to use "save"/"print" in following way:
(1) After opening file, the menu bars are hidden.
And after closing file, the menu bars are visible.
(MS EXCEL uses the procedue Workbook_open() to handle menu bar)
or
(2) If a user is clicking the "save"/print button, my routine (above lines) are activated and the check has to work.
How can I use one of both options?
Thanks for information!
Regards
JuMa
Having installed Acrobat Pro XI on a new Windows 10 Pro-64 system, I find problems with printing emails from within the Windows 10 Mail app. A first attempt got a file name/location dialog popup, but on entering the info and OK-ing print, the small "Creating Adobe PDF" info/progress window popped up, but showed a few bars of progress, then sat for 5 minutes or so before showing a bit more progress, another pause and so on, before I closed the "Creating Adobe PDF" window. Subsequent attempts from Mail have the same behavior, but continue to show the "Document Name:" the same as the earlier print to PDF request, while the text above the progress bar shows "Ready <next job file name>.pdf" and the "PDF Name:" below the progress bar shows the file name specified for another request.
The same happened for the first attempt to print a web page from the Edge browser to Adobe PDF.
Printing from Microsoft Word 2013 to the Adobe PDF printer option (which I normally don't do--using save-as-PDF instead--but did so here to test) works fine. The finished PDF pops up on screen immediately. Oddly, however, when I close Word document that just printed successfully to the "Adobe PDF" "printer," I see the "Creating Adobe PDF" with a PDF Progress bar stuck at just-over half finished. It shows the correct file name for what I had just asked to be printed from Word above and below the "PDF Progress" bar, but showing a "Document Name" at the top of the info window that is from a previous job.
I'm posting this on a MS forum, but thought I'd do so here as well. Apart from the Windows 10 App problem, it seems there may be some kind of queue of previous print-to-PDF jobs in the Acrobat memory space. Is there such a thing and how do I clear it? (There is nothing in the System Print Queue for the "Adobe PDF" "Printer")
From Acrobat Standard DC, I have a 20MB pdf file open, I click File then Save As and save it to my computer. It displays several message like Consolidating Duplicate Page Backgrounds and Consolidating Duplicate Fonts and Optimizing for Fast Web Viewing.
Then I receive the following message. The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114).
I checked for updates to Adobe and it shows No Updates Available
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
I've got multiple PDF files, is it possible to combine them into one PDF file? I need to merge them for more convenient use. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Adobe,
Please can you assist. Trying to add information to existing PDF and OCR’d the existing PDF. However I note that the information to be added starts at page 28 and pages thereafter and then started from page one after 10 pages. It seems that there is something hidden within this document which is causing this difficulty.
In another document there is certain information in red boxes which is marked for redaction (and other information in the document we did not touch) however when it’s been split and the redactions applied its moved the text.
Any help or troubleshooting guidance would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI. The images are 1440dpi but always save ate 120dpi. The PDF is for the content of a picture book so I need to be able to save them at a minimum of 300dpi. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Im working with .ai files and I was wondering if I had to convert before combining into a single PDF? When I 'Combine files into single PDF' the finder window does not show .ai files. I was wondering if that's supposed to happen? Is it absolutely necessary to convert to PDF first?
