How can I index PDF files that reside on a Unix server?
I was amazed the week last to discover that our Web site does not support PDF research opportunities. Apparently, we're going to get it soon. But when that day comes, I think we need to index our PDFs. I know I can do it for a Windows Server. But, how can I do to a Unix server?
Thank you
Peter
No, not at all. "Indexing" is a stange inconsistent term used for this connection. I guess you really want is a search engine that includes PDF as HTML content. The term 'indexing' might mean 'account with all the text in a file and the addition of words available for research.
Acrobat uses "Indexing" to mean precisely creating a set of files used by Acrobat itself to find several PDF files. But it is a thing of local file, not a web thing. In this way the indexing of PDF files must be used on the web is bad, but also not good.
There are two main approaches to web search engines.
1 premises. Software runs on the local computer and can read the files on the web site. In fact a kind of file, may be called an index. Local software on the web server uses this information to display that you lead.
2 remote connection. Google is a prime example of this. Visits of the websites ("spiders") to play the files, made his own 'index' and the research on the sites.
Google (and other search engines) are often seen only as a means of the world wide web to research. But they can be used to search for single servers in their list of everyone, as in https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=indexing+Pdfs+site%3Aadobe.com
An interesting variation of what was for sale a few years ago, is the "google appliance" for use on private networks (intranets). He was sitting on the local network and done things like google but only with the local network. Then, there was a 'local google' for all local machines.
One last thing: your customers are not likely to find satisfying if she must search for PDF files and the HTML format of research with a different engine.

I have a document composed of separate PDF files that reside in a folder and are related to each other through hyperlinks. Each pdf file is configurΘ for dΘmarrer with bookmarks displayed, however if I have a link to one PDF file to another and use the "back" button to return to my starting point bookmarks are replaced by "vignette". Is there anyway to prevent this?
Hi Mike,.
While the implementation of the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you will not experience this issue, then you can simply switch to the file view and previous bookmark will remain as it is.
Is that what helps with your query?
Kind regards

Hi quoman,
Looks like you're wondering how to add security to a PDF file. You will need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?
I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.
What should I do?
Try to delete the files in your folder first.
If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.

How can I view .pdf files in a Firefox window?
When I click on a .pdf link, Firefox will download the file to my desktop. It is very good.
Sometimes, however, I would prefer that Firefox simply open the .pdf document in a new window. I know it used to work that way, but he stopped some time ago. How can I control this behavior?
I looked in Preferences > Applications and selected on 'pdf '. Two entries stood under "Type of content:
"Preview.app Document (application/po..."
and
"Portable Document Format (PDF)".
The two entries have the same 'Action': 'use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 (in Firefox).
Oops. I just thought of it. Entry PDF has (only) a menu option drop down additional to the title of the Action: "Preview in Firefox. I tried it and it works!
I guess the old PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 must have leave some time ago to work.

How can I delete backup files that are infected
I got my computer which runs Vista, off bugged by the Geek squad. In their note they suggested deleting the old back of the files that are infected. How can I do this?
You will find the location of the back up and once you find them you can delete them.
You could run full system scan with:

It will scan your entire PC and detect infections.

Recently, I backed up my files, such as registered and deleted from my HARD drive. Restarting resolved a number of issues. Now, I need to restore specific files a few I.e. 'my music '. How can I find and restore individual files or folders WITHOUT restoring those that were responsible for the problems that CAUSED problems. I want to remove most of the backup and save a few folders/files.
How can I watch them? I tried to 'Search' for 'my music' and some specific mp3 and names without success.
See if this will help.

My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.
I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.
Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?
You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.
I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.
After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

How to restore a pdf file that is damaged
I have pdf files on an external drive that I can not open
As a general rule, if a pdf file is damaged, it is not repairable. If you have it on a portable hard drive, you can try to copy it to your hard drive and open it but that may not work either (rare when it does).
Advice from sarah above may work IF you can get it to open in a browser, and IF you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat and not just the free reader.
