Convert a PDF with Ticket QR codes as .pkpass format so I can add to Apple Wallet

[JonesVid]

Quite a few organisations send pdf's with Apple Wallet capable (.pkpass) so you can add to yuor wallet easily, eg Air Tickets.

Some don't

They just send a normal pdf with QR codes.

As a Creative Cloud subscriber I thought maybe Acrobat would allow me to do that - I can't see anywhere that it can do that. Why not ?.

It seems there are 'free tools' available to so this but why on earth should I trust a piece of software off the web to do this when I would assume it is a function Acrobat should support.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this please

Because Acrobat is about PDF files. It can't do all container files. As you well said, there are different tools out that can do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKPASS

Based on the feature request /ideas response I have seen on Premiere Pro I doubt it is worth even posting a feature request - but might as well try. Thanks

I have created the feature request to export PDF's with Ticket QR codes as .pkpass format.

Filed under 'Exporting PDFs' category.

Thank you for link to the Acrobat User Voice LJ3.

Comment - It would be useful to have an Ideas tab at the top of this Discussions Page - as done in Adobe Premiere discussion Forum - this takes you straight to the Ideas pages.

It's confusing to have different utilities inside a group that perform the same task. However, it is the team's decision to use this or that. Uservoice wa there before this forum got the option added to handle ideas and bugs, so I suppose that the Acrobat team simply sticks to what they have for the moment. Migrating such a tool and the database to a new system is a huge challenge.

[JonesVid]

I can understand migrating systems is not a simple task, however as this is the first time I have actually used the Ideas/User Forum for Acrobat I find it puzzling why Adobe market the Creative Cloud as a cohesive offer to it's users it ends up with fragmented systems. The Premiere Pro User Forum was 'made end of life' some time ago and yes, it did cause quite a bit of confusion at the time.

As a retired Chartered Engineer who managed R&D teams I can appreciate the comments about sticking with what you have if resources are contrained.

I would however had to search how to post an idea on Acrobat issues if Luke J3 had not posted the link.

I find it confusing too. Photoshop used yet a different system, and they were the first to move to this community. The Premiere team converted to the Khoros platform (the underlying software to this) and several other started with this system once it was established (Stock, Firefly, Adobe Express). 

We know that it is confusing. We point therefore the users to the correct location.
