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

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

    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.


    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.
