I had tried to copy the whole document(which is in pdf format) to notepad and word but now I want to move at some specific page of document let say 3 and I want to store the content only of that page to the clipboard. Is there any way to do that?
Till all I know is how to store the whole document in the clipboard.
program acrord32
keyboard ⋘ALT⋙⋘DOWN⋙⋘3⋙
keyboard ⋘CTRL+A⋙⋘CTRL+C⋙
♥doc1 = ♥clipboard
Using keyboard CTRL+A in Adobe Acrobat always select ALL text in WHOLE ALL pages.
But there are other options.
This option is available in NOT FREE version in example "Acrobat Standard DC" or "Acrobat Pro DC". Unfortunatelly these versions are paid applications. In these version has function named "Extract pages" and you can specify that each page as separate file. After extraction you have any file with once page and you can using CTR+A :)
But we have alternative option by using google chrome. Open PDF file in google chrome and send file to print with change printer as "Save as PDF". There you can specify page as new file PDF.
I am not sure how to phrase this question. We have code that creates a PDF that is PDF/A compliant, we put in some xml data into the metadata section. We then display the PDF in a preview window where the user can download the PDF. As part of our users process they open up the PDF in a text editor and search for one of the xml tag, "vendor" while all the data is encrypted, the tag value of "vendor" is still visible, such that the search would work. And then the users submit these files to US Courts that export the data.
I am on a Mac and I follow this process and it works perfectly.
The issue we have is that on Chrome/Windows users when they download the PDF and try to search for "vendor" it doesn't work. The search fails. If the user opens up the document in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then just hit Save, then open it in their Text editor it then works. The problem is our users are now complaining about having to do those two extra steps.
This only occurs on Windows users with Chrome. It does not happen on Mac/Safari.
I wish I could attach a sample, but the documents are extremely confidential, and I can't make one up with non confidential data as that would then not match what happens in our application.
I would like to know if it's possible to combine:
#target="_blank" and #page=4
In my case: I have a button in a pdf with a hyperlink asociated, when you press the link, it calls another pdf. The problem is that in Chrome, I need to press Control+click to open the link... so I want to force a "open in new tab" when clicking the button.
clicking on https://something.com/file.pdf#page=4 works but don't open on Chrome viewer
clicking on https://something.com/file.pdf#target="_blank" works but don't open in the page I want
So I need to combine both of them to open the link in a new window/tab on the page I want.
When you follow this link:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
You'll find a PDF document issued by Adobe where they describe the different possibilities for URLs going into PDF documents. They also describe how you can combine them, with the regular syntax also used for URL fragments, so I would try:
https://something.com/file.pdf#target="_blank"&page=4
I am trying to make a form I used FormsCentral For Acrobat, and it looks fine and when I open my pdf in acrobat it looks great but when I open it in a pdf viewer the fields in the form are invisible and the user cannot see where they are supposed to enter the data. They work fine, i.e. when you click on them they can be typed into, but the user can not see where to type.
I want to know how to either put a box around them or to make some sort of contrast.
Is this a viewer other than Adobe Acrobat? Adobe Acrobat will by default highlight any available fields. If it isn't, look for a setting to change that.
If you create a form with Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can double click the fields to get a properties dialog, and there are settings for border and fill color under the 'Appearance' tab. I don't know how FormsCentral is set up, but it may have a similar command.
In InDesign I can define buttons and can add different actions to them. One of these actions is "go to page", but apparently that function is only usable when exporting the InDesign document as an SWF. However, we want to export an interactive PDF.
When we open the exported PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional we can touch up each and every button in the document and set the page to the page we want, but this is of course extremely tedious work, especially when you have several proving runs.
So, my question is: how do I get my buttons in InDesign to jump to a specific page without having to do the touch up late in Adobe Acrobat Professional? Surely it must be possible to navigate between pages?!
I stumbled on this issue a while back too, and i figured out how to link to a place in an interactive PDF document via Buttons:
1) Create Bookmarks on the pages you want to link to. (I usually make a text in the top of the page in 'paper color' and create a bookmark from that)
2) Button action "Go to destination" -> Bookmark
Hope this helps...
Make a box in inDesign.
Select the box.
Open Hyperlink panel
"Create a hyperlink destination" I use the page number
Then go to the page in your inDesign document where you want to make the button.
Make a box and select it
Open hyperlinkpanel "Make hyperlink" and choose the destination you made using the pulldown (not the page number counter, that didn't work for me).
interactiv->Hyperlink and You choose "New Hyperlink destination" from menu in top-right dropdown menu. And choose page.
I tried sometime but now i know the deal (on CS5 on Windows). I only have the German version so maybe i´ll label some things wrong:
When you create your button and determine the "action" you´ll get a list with available options. Here the upper options work in PDF and SWF, but some options are available "only in swf" and "only in pdf.
"Go to a certain page" is not available in PDF :(
So you have to edit the document via Acrobat.
Another thing: When writing an interactive pdf-file use the option "Export..." under "File", here you chose "Adobe PDF (Interactive)" under filetype.
Maybe (as a thought) there is a way to use Javascript in InDesign and/or Acrobat to assign the buttons automatically.
