Ubuntu – Cannot open ‘PDF portfolio’

adobe-acrobatevincepdf

How can I open a pdf portfolio (pdf file which contains multiple pdfs) that was made with Adobe on Mac or PC?

I've tried FoxIt, Evince, and qpdfview but none of them work.

I get a message saying "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Unfortunately this is not possible since Adobe does not seem to support these on Ubuntu any more.

My solution is based on this answer which suggests a few different PDF applications:

I found that not all these programs actually work for this. In my case pdftk did not work and okular did. One down side with Okular is that you have to export the PDFs contained in a portfolio into individual files:

  1. Open with Okular

  1. Click first item then ctrl+a to select all

  1. You'll be prompted to select a file name and location. You can just keep hitting enter.

It's not as good an experience as using Adobe but it gets the job done.
