Please takea look at the attached document. I've done a few things: Set up the document as threaded, 2-column text frames The leading is set to (Auto) so that when the item is copied ans pasted onto a paragraph, it will have adequate height above it. If you don't ever change the size of the height of your group, you'll never need to worry about things not aligning. But if you do change the high of your group, then the paragraph will automatically expand. I turned on hidden characters and text threads, so that you can see what you're doing and how the text frames are connected one to another. I've set up some conditional text.   Eachproduct needs to be on it's own paragraph. The photo and product description need to be grouped together and then pasted into that paragraph. To move a product group, you can to cut it from one place and paste it into another. InDesign does have a drag and drag within Layout mode (within the preferences). Preferences > Type > Drag and Drop Text Editing > Enable in Layout View. But cutting and pasting also works well, especially if you're moving the product onto another spread. Regarding the conditional text (blue squiggly underline), if there are products that you want to delete from this catalog, but keep around for future use, you can simply add the condition to them (including to the paragraph return before them), and then hide them. That is easier than digging around on your servers or within the databases to try and find the product description and photo that you already had set up at some point.   Hopefully this will get youheaded in the right direction. Please refer to the updated sample document to see the chages I made.       ... View more

You should really make these types of changes in the original program that created the PDF. Acrobat is not designed to have complex layouts autoflow, and it cannot autoflow across pages.   InDesign however, can handle this with ease. Do you know what program the document was originally created in? ... View more

Welcome Danielle,   I don't know of a way to do that, but perhaps @try67 can develop) a script. I present a possible scenario, using a powerpoint document that contains notes located within the "Notes" section, as shown below.     So try this: Make a copy of your PPTX file. Then change the file extension to ZIP. Double click the zip file to open it. This converts your pwoerpoint to a bunch of XML files. Do a search for "Notes Placeholder" within the contents of that folder. You'll see that there are a bunch of instances of that phrase. If you view the contents of one of those XML files with a text editor (like BBEdit), you can see the contents of the note.     I would imagine that there is a way to extract the contents of those notes (adjusting for required elements of a note in Acrobat, such as date, author, page position, etc.) and make a new XML file out of them, which you can then simply change the extension to .FDF and import them as notes into your PDF document.   Not being a powerpoint expert, I am not familiar with the intricacies of powerpoint notes. It appears, based on your screen capture, that they are positioned on the page somehow in. precise location. Hopefully, the notes are not just red boxes with red text.    Again, I'm not a scripter, so this idea of somewhat theoretical. An Acrobat scripter would be able to tell you for sure if this is possible. ... View more

You can actually still use that measure, but it must be done with a workaround. Use the Measuring tool. Open the comments pane and select the numbers, Then retype over them.    But do know that if you move either side of the arrow, it will re-measure and erase your text.   ... View more

Annotating does need a total overhaul in Acrobat. I agree with you on that point.   I think the reason it's not apparent that you can easily make a simple double arrow line in because the options for it are not obvious. If you draw a line and then choose Properties > Appearance, then click on the Start/Closed dropdown, there is nothing in there describing an arrow.      See? Nothing here described an arrow! But after choosing the various choices form the dropdown, you'll see that the second through the fifth options are various sorts of arrows.     Contrast this with the now deprecated Properties toolbar (Cmd / Ctrl + E). There you'll see the word "Arrow." It's only because of that word that I knew to look inside the regular full Properties dialog box.     It appears to me that both the "Line" tool and the "Arrow" tool are basically the same thing, except that the "Arrow tool starts with an arrow on one end. But upon further investigation, there are three types of lines that you can easily add arrows to: Connected Lines (also referred to as "Polygon Lines"), Arrow, and Line.     ... View more

End of support for Acrobat 8 was in November 2011. I would be very suprised if anyone would be able to bypass the licensing server at this point.

I've never heard of Acrobat automatically changing page size, nor having text reflow in a PDF. I don't know that it even has that capability.   Can you post a screenshot of the page size in the word document, as well as the page size of the PDF from your US version of Acrobat? If you hover over the lower left hand corner of the document, it will display the page size.   We need to pinpoint what the page size is in each program, so that we can ascertain where the change is taking place. ...

If you really wanted it set up properly (like a regular InDesign user would do it), I'd adjust the width and hegight down even further (using the page tool), and then add in bleed and slug into the Document Setup dialog box. Like this:     The reason I'm using the Page Tool and not doing all this in the Document Setup dialog box is because the Page Tool allows you to choose a proxy point when resizing, and the Document Setup does not. So that way, all your guides stay where they're supposed to be, in relation to the artwork. Because when moving things, you can either move guides OR you can move artwork, but you can't move them both at the same time. ... View more

You're going to use the Page Tool. Set your proxy point in the control bar to the top right, and plug in the values shown in the screenshot. I got those values by selecting the artwork and noting their width and height. ... View more

Slug shows up with a gray background, not white. I suspect that the dimensions of the final artwork (roughly 12.75 x 9) will not match your document size. I bet that the person who prepped this file set up the document size more like 14.75 x 11. So the bleed and slug are actually build int the page size of the document.    Please post a screenshot of your Document Setup dialog box. ... View more

Use the polygon tool. It will only draw in straight lines.   Sadly, there is no way to make this behave like the regular highlighter tool (at least not in Acrobat). You can sort of mimic a highlighter effect by adding a fill and reducing the opacity. ... View more
