Acrobat DC create cover page

[dmantse]

Can I use Acrobat Pro DC to create a cover page, when open pdf file it display cover page only, after click a button in cover page, the cover page hidden and display 2-3 page content?

I try to use create different page template and use javascript: this.getTemplate("cover").hidden to control cover page "visible" and "hidden", but it seem cannot work in Adobe Reader.

Also any ways to control target version to prevent lower Adobe reader version open the pdf form? In livecycle designer it have "Choose Target Version", but cannot find in Acrobat Pro DC

Sure. Create the single-page cover page file and then place the actual document as a file attachment to it.

Create a link from the cover page to the attached file, and you're done.

However, if you do it like and the file contains form fields the user won't be able to save their values, if they're using Reader.

Thanks for you reply.

But in my case the file contains form fields let use save their values inclued using Reader.

That complicates things... In that case you can convert the other pages to

Templates, hide them, and then spawn them when the user clicks the button

to continue to the actual form.

It requires Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Reader XI. Older versions cannot spawn templates.

I use Acrobat Reader DC but cannot use this.getTemplate("cover").hidden to control.

Also any ways can work for Adobe Reader 9+

You cannot create a document with Acrobat Reader.

It can only use features created with Acrobat Pro/Standard.

I did not use Acrobat Reader to create a document.

Use Acrobat Pro DC to create document with "this.getTemplate("cover").hidden" to control page template, it can work at Acrobat Pro DC, but when I use Acrobat Reader DC to open, it did not work.

[try67]

The value of the hidden property can't be changed in Reader. You can only spawn that hidden template, and then that spawned page is visible.

[JR Boulay]

And Reader can delete a spawned page (unlike a "static" page).

It seem create custom a new warning page not a good idea.

Any ways to control client target version to prevent lower version Adobe reader (8.0 or above) or Browser to open the pdf form?

In AEM designer it have "Choose Target Version", it can display error message page but cannot find in Acrobat Pro DC

[try67]

You can set a warning to display by default and then use a script to cover it (with a field, for example) when the file is opened using a compatible version of Acrobat/Reader.

[dmantse]

Yes, it can use Text field to display warning message and hidden it when using a compatible version of Acrobat/Reader.

But if the form contain another field such as button, text field, it cannot show in the top and cover all other field. Both field also display and overlap.
