Links - Open a File - JPG

$
0
0

I am creating a PDF file (for an architectural survey) that will have links to click and "Open a File" to bring up either a jpg or .swf in Windows Explorer. I add the link, navigate the path to the jpg or swf file, save the PDF, then zip the photos and SWF files up with the linked PDF. I perform exactly the same series of actions every time but 70% of the time, the links will not successfully open and it says the image cannot be found.

 

When they do work, I get a message that the link is trying to open: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

 

When they do not work, I get a message the the link is trying to open C:\Users\LGrimes\AppData\Local\Temp\wza80f\5848 - Photos Linked\DSCN1773.JPG

 

I can't figure out to to make a "relative" path rather than an absolute path and I don't know what to trouble shoot because it works sometimes and then doesn't work other times. What would be changing when I link that it would either look for the program versus the actual file path?

 

I need an answer ASAP.

 

Thank you.

text displacement in Reduced PDF Size in Adobe Acrobat X

why there's text displacement whenever I reduced file size in Adobe Acrobat X even going from File menu - Save as - Reduced PDF Size

Excel not showing up as a "Save As" option

I have an existing pdf that I'd like to save as an Excel Spreadsheet but that option isn't showing up in the drop down list (Word shows up fine). It's not in the Export drop down either. Is there a setting somewhere that I should know about? I'm using Adobe Pro 9.5.5. As an aside, the pdf I'm working with is being stubborn and won't let me export to any file type except .txt which I tried to import into Excel but it created more work for me trying to get all the data in the correct columns. I've tried printing to the PDF printer - it doesn't like that either. The error I keep getting is "Adobe was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error: Bad PDF; could not read page structure (bad page contents), <Expected a number object> [7].  I have a coworker that is using the same program that has Excel listed in the Save As drop down. I just don't know what she has that I don't. Thanks!

Adobe PDF Converter stops creating PDFs after several successful prints.

We have an application that create reports that we want to print to PDF and save on our server.  We have been doing this for years.  Have 50 employees doing this.  One computer is having an issue were they will print to the "PDF Printer" and the pdf output file is save to their desktop, but after multiple successful prints, the print will get hung up in the PDF Printer Queue.

 

This is on a Win7 Machine, with current windows updates, using Acrobat X Standard version 10.1.10  so I think I am up to date.

 

Does anyone have suggestions about what to look at or where the problem may be coming from.

 

To fix the problem the user can shut down (restart) the computer and printing to pdf works again.

Why does Acrobat Pro garble a file when converting to MS Word?

$

Dear Community,

 

I'm on a Macbook (10.9.3) and I just installed the newest version of Acrobat Pro (XI). When I take a PDF file that was previously created in MS Word (2003) and attempt to convert it back to an MS Word file, the resulting export contains a series of unreadable punctuation marks and garbled text.


Unfortunately, the original Word file has been lost, so that's why I need to convert from PDF -> MS Word. I've printed new versions of the PDF from the original PDF and tried to copy-and-paste the text directly -- whatever I do, the text is garbled when I import it to Word (2011).


Thanks for any tips!

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?   Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24.   Can someone help me with this? - JML

How to delete the first page from a large number of documents

$

Hello all,

 

My company has migrated from Adobe Acrobat pro 8 to 11. In version 8 we had
used Document Processing to remove the first page from all pdf's within a
directory (5000+). This process took about an hour.

 

Now my research has led me to use Actions in version 11, however it appears
that the action require each document to be open and saved (one after another)
in Acrobat in order for the first page to be removed.  This thrashing has made this process very
slow to the point where it's useable.

 

  1. Is there any way to run actions from the command line
    so time isn't wasted opening up each document in Acrobat? 
  2. Is there another way to quickly remove the first page
    from a PDF in bulk?

 

I'm outside my expertise area here, so if you need any additional
information let me know.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Two issues: Runtime error when trying to Reduce Size or Optimize File. And navigation in some files is VERY SLOW.

I haven't figured out if there is a pattern here, as of yet.
This happens with larger files (1500 pages and so forth) and not all the time. 

 

- Bookmarks may take up to 4-5 seconds to go to its page.  Scrolling up and down pages is just as painfully slow.
Even when I break the big file into smaller sections, the navigation remains slower than molasses.  

 

- When I try to Optimize certain files, or Reduce their size, I get a Runtime Error. I have disable the Updater (I read this could be an issue) but that made no difference.  I have also broken the larger files into 2 or 3 pieces.  One of the pieces may work out well (I can optimize and so forth) but the other(s) may not.

 

Thank you.

 

PS: I use Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3.  I have requested an upgrade (several times) but my wishes are not their command, I am afraid.

Hey,

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro on  Windows XP and somehow I am not able to use Ctrl+scroll for zooming in and out.

It only works using Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-.

 

Do you know how I can turn the scroll-zooming function on again?

 

Thank you,

How do I add multiple spaces to text in an existing PDF document?

I am currently adding text - not annotations - to a PDF and wish to double space between sentences: I thought this would be such a simple task!

 

Logically, Acrobat is refusing to save the spaces when  I click out of the text box - so what I'm asking is, can I switch modes so that it will accept multi-spaced text, or is it impossible?

 

Thanks in advance folks.

PDF quality problems exporting from InDesign and Photoshop

Hi There.

 

I often export to a PDF from Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator PDFs, however I am having a real issue retaining the res when viewed in Acrobat. Yet it's fine when I open it in Preview. See comparison

 

Screen Shot 2014-06-27 at 12.39.03.png

 

 

 

The first is opened in Acrobat and the second is opened in Preview. Same file, different quality.

 

In another forum a helpful guy told me it's to do with the Acrobat page display, however this hasn't seem to work, but it must be a setting in Acrobat. Can some one advise me how to set up Acrobat for Retina displays, so that my exported PFDs look crystal clear.

 

FYI I'm using the latest Acrobat X1 V 11.0 in Creative Cloud

 

Thanks

Karen
