I think we might name that the Official B4P Acrobat 9 Workspace. You're obviously slippin' into Cruise on 9 now Joe.

Nice thinking, though. And, er, the ability to do that had temporarily eluded me.    :rolleyes:

Still trying to get a grasp onto this whole process, so excuse my questions if obvious or basic.
The process they have been using here once the multi-page PDF is created is to (1) Create Links: Advanced/Doc Processinf/create links from URLs and (2) Optimize PDF: Advanced/ PDF Optimizer using settings someone here came up with.
note Transparency box not checked!?

I always thought Postscript and PDF could solve any problem. Where's a PDF Master when you need one?

Interesting thread.  Since upgrading to Trueflow 5 in October, Some files I have to throw at it as 1.3, some as 1.6..  there's no effin consistency..  I can't be wasting all this time on checking my work, I got vacations to go on. I need something transparently bulletproof..   

I got bit about 3 weeks ago because of this crap..   luckily, and finally!, the press manager caught it before they took off running.. it was a faint line about an inch long in the border of a picture..  one of those things where on-screen you think it's just one of the preview issues in acrobat, nope...  made it to plate.  :angry:

Yep... soon as I got pretty much squared away with our Rip requirements and transparencies I get this publishing to web crap and it's apparently a whole new ballgame and to make matters worse I got several "layers" to go thru communicating with the web host people.

Tap, if you check the Transparency box it will flatten the PDF.

As we said earlier though...trust nothing though because any of about a million bad things can happen at any given time.

How are they displaying these PDF's on the web page? Or are they just making the PDF available for viewing via the acrobat plugin in the web browser?

Don't I know that Joe! Almost every page contains email and website.com links which must remain active and every ad searchable. Reluctant to change anything at this point.

That is freaking cool. When I clicked the link it said it was installing additional components for my flash player so I guess they are displaying these with Flash. If you can find out any more info I would be interested in exactly how they do that.

I DONT LIKE THINGS THAT RESIZE MY WINDOW!   :angry:    just an fyi..  :kiss:

Edit: the flash part, from what I'm seeing is just the flipping the page..  also, it takes forever to load each page..   also, just an fyi.

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled that it installed something on my Mac without asking either but it's still cool.

Edit: The pages loaded fairly quickly for me.
