So, it isn’t the reader can’t read any portfolios, it is the writing of the file that causes the problem. The ones that worked were made in Acrobat X, the ones that didn’t were made in Acrobat XI. When I went into a meeting touting the wonders of the portfolio, some of the files worked (on Reader XI) and some didn’t. “Luckily” I was able to upgrade to XI before I went into a meeting and made some portfolios in XI. I’d learned about portfolios and it was an AMAZING way to solve an archival problem we were having. I am in a multi-thousand employee company and IT only installs reader on the PCs (and the plug-ins for the browsers). I know I am 2 years late to this party, but I wanted to vent, again, how bad of a move this was for Adobe to make the PDF Portfolio unsable. If you create a multimedia PDF which requires Flash, it will have to be installed on the computer or device where you are opening the PDF for the multimedia to be played. It is no longer, apparently for security reasons. (There are still no PDF Maker plug-ins installed on the Mac, and hyperlink and bookmark export from Word is not yet supported.)Īnd one “downgrade”: A runtime version of Adobe Flash was installed with Acrobat and Reader 9 and X. Now, if you have Microsoft Office installed on your Mac, you can include these files. In previous versions of Acrobat, Mac users were stymied when you wanted to open a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file into Acrobat to convert it to PDF, or to include these files when combining documents together.While it’s not perfect, it’s a dramatic improvement. You can now reflow text from line to line, for example.

That has now changed! The editing of text and graphics has been greatly enhanced in Acrobat XI. In the past, our usual refrain was that you couldn’t do extensive editing of a PDF in Acrobat.More after the jump! Continue reading below↓įree and Premium members see fewer ads!
