Acrobat 10 freezes when optimizing a PDF in custom scan

Hello,
Running into an issue where we use the Custom scan feature in Acrobat.  In the window, I even uncheck Optimize Scanned PDF, but Acrobat still optimizes regardless.  Going to Options for Optimize and turning everything off does nothing either.  Current version is 10.1.5.
Our scanner is Fujitsu 4860C2 using Kofax VRS TWAIN driver.  From what I can tell it is the latest driver and software.  The kofax has a feature called Enable Advanced Clarity which is necessary for quality scan.  If we turn this feature off, the optimize freezing does not occur.
Any idea what causes this?

Update - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and the drivers.  Now, even if we turn off advanced clarity it freezes.  So evidence is pointing to a bug in adobe custom scan.  Acrobat ignores the optimize scanned PDF checkbox, it will attempt to optimize regardless.

  • Acrobate IX freezes when printing/creating pdf in Firefox - same settings as in IX

    Hi Guys,
    Had the product for a week and it is not working... Usual stuff, a new PC take weeks to bed down.
    When I try to print/create pdf from something in Firefox, both Acrobate IX and Firefox freeze. I have the old PC with Firefox and Acrobate IX, same default setting and it works everytime. XI freezes. Close Firefox and Acrobate and then re-open and it may print. If it does the next time I try it freezes.
    Can anyone help?? not sure how this works... but my email is [email protected]
    This place was so hard to find... is there a way to tag this question when an answer comes?? Possibly a Moderator could make it so??

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat & Firefox installed on your machine?

  • Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

    Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well.  I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes.  The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location.  I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

    It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
    There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
    Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 freezing when opening specific PDF

    I have a specific PDF file that when opened from the local computer causes Acrobat to freeze (adobe launches, but then hour glass with blank screen).  Other PDFs open just fine.  I have tried multiple computers, and every computer with Acrobat version 9.2.0 and above freezes.  I am however, able to open this file using Acrobat version 9.0.0 and 8.
    I tried to mirror settings from Edit > Preferences from a 9.1.0 install to a 9.3.4 install with no luck. Repairing the installation didn't help either.  Uninstalling and reinstalling works, but that's only because it puts it back to version 9.0.0 and as soon as it gets patched to 9.2.0, I get the freeze again.
    I'm out of ideas at this point.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Phil

    Mine is doing the same.  Ever since the 9.3.4 update my Mac Adobe Acrobat Pro will crash (beachball) whenever editing, such as adding bookmarks, or scrolling down the pages of file.  Have tried multiple times to contact Adobe, but with no luck, and no call back or response.  Considering moving to a different PDF platform if I cannot obtain technical help through Adobe. 

  • Random IE7 freeze when opening a PDF from Acrobat 9.1 Pro

    We are having problems specifically with a PC with viewing PDF files in IE 7.0.  Now when viewing PDF files
    on our special inhouse loan funding site, the browser will freeze and eventually an error message will come up "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close".
    What I tried so far...
    -Ran the Adobe update , it installed Acrobat Professional 9.1.1
    -Did the Reset under the Advanced tab in Internet Properties.
    -Re-enabled the adobe related IE plugins.
    -Deleted everything from the users %temp% file.
    -Rebooted PC
    I've asked our web application vendor if we could use a much better browser such as Firefox, Chrome, or even try IE8, but they said that it's not supported.

    Ok, well this is an specialized web based application.  I tried opening the PDF's in a new window on my Windows 7 PC and I got them to open without the infinite loop like on a Windows XP machine.
    Because that causes an infinite loop on Windows XP, we need the PDF to display in browser, which causes a conflict sometimes between IE and Adobe dll files.
    So I've checked out a file that doesn't normally crash the IE/Acrobat9.4 user and checked the properties.
    Application: LiquidOffice Form Designer
    PDF Producer: DocuCom PDF Core Library
    PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
    File Size: 253.77 KB
    Now here's the properties of a PDF that intermittently crashes IE:
    Application: Acrobat PDFMaker 8.1 for Word
    PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 (Windows)
    PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
    File Size: 272.14 KB
    Remember I said intermittently.  That's what's real difficult about the problem.  That same file might open 10 consecutive times before crashing.  OR it might crash on the first try.  When things aren't consistently broken it's very hard to troubleshoot the issue since there is no concrete evidence of a single underlying cause.  If it crashed every single time on that file, maybe we would say that its a corrupt file or there's an issue with the program that produced it.  That's not the case here.
    Good idea as to looking at the version.  We could change the versions but we would need to open a request with the application developer, and updates to some of these forms takes weeks for them to integrate.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro freezing when opening large PDF documents

    Ok, I have a tough one. Adobe Acrobat X Standard/Pro keeps freezing when opening large documents that exceed approx. 50 pages. These PDF documents contain large images and graphs for mining purposes, but no links. The issue impacts multiple users on multiple laptops/desktops. We have tried the following:
    - Uninstalling/re-installing Adobe Acrobat
    - Disabling Enhanced Security in Acrobat Preferences
    - Resetting local user profiles
    - Changing Reading Preferences to view current visible pages only
    - Installing Adobe Acrobat XI
    This issue has only occurred after upgrading users to a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit Operating System.
    The only possible solution I have managed to find is changing a registry key that permanently disables the Enhanced Security options in Acrobat. This solution however, only worked on brand new user profiles. Resetting user profiles throughout our entire company is not something we are even going to consider.
    If anyone would like more information that I have missed, please feel free to ask.

    Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

  • Acrobat 7 freezes when combining multiple files

    I'm running Acrobat 7 Standard, and whenever I attempt to combine multiple PDF files acrobat will freeze up completely. It can scan, and add pages to an open document with no trouble. It will freeze whether I choose Create PDF From Multiple Files within acrobat, or if I select multiple files in windows explorer, then right click and choose Combine in Acrobat...
    I have cleared temporary files, repaired the program, and completely reinstalled the program. Even after a fresh reinstallation, it will lock up when trying to combine multiple files. It does everything else just fine.
    I am running a HPCompaq dc5100 MT, with Windows XP Pro. I have 2GB ram, and a P4 3.2Ghz processor. I also have a database program called Laserfiche that I run, though this problem occurs whether I have Laserfiche open or not. I've already tried killing all acceptable processes (minus adobe's of course) and recreated the error. I've also tried this with the most recent update 7.1.0 and without: both yeild the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear all,
    I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
    => When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
    => Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
    => I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
    => then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
    I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
    Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker) 

  • Safari freezes when saving to PDF

    Hi Folks
    Well... Safari doesn't freeze when saving a web document to PDF, but somehow, it gets stuck for many seconds and later it pop ups a banner which says that it can't connect with Server "Martin" (me, which I guess is the name given to the MacPro).
    So I'm using the MBP as "Desktop Computer" and conneted via FireWire to the MacPro. The weird thing is that I already unmounted the disks, unpluged the FireWire cable and turned off the MacPro, but the MBP still looking for the named server.
    I think that's because some sharing configurations, but I'm not sharing the Printer (I don't have one, so discard that ).
    So well... this issue is pretty annoying because I have to save as PDF many web documents and the "thinking" time of the computer by looking for that server is a big waste of time.
    Can anybody help me here?
    Thanks a lot!
    Ø3
    PS:
    Here is a pic if needed:

    Hey Linc it happens when I click on the PDF button. After a while, the pull down menu appears with the respective options, so it happens before the process of saving the file (selecting file type, folder, etc, and save).
    Hope this helps you to find something. I have not tried deleting the MacPro from the Sharing Propierties in the MBP and see if the MBP keeps seeking for that server. Will try that later and update here.
    Thanks for taking the time, man!

  • When converting a PDF from a scanned image on a Canon MFP, some of the text is jumbled

    I am trying to use the Exportpdf.acrobat.com service and when I convert an image that was made into a pdf from Word, it is fine.  If I exposrt a pdf that was scanned in from a Canon IR 2030i MFP, some of the text comes out jumbled and un-readable.  Is there a certain setting to fix this?

    Doc: I've had a similar experience, and here are the details, investigation, and a workaround. My printer is a Brother MFC-645CN, and I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on a 2010 iMac quad i5 connected to the printer over my ethernet LAN. Are you using a Brother printer?
    Firefox has shown this kind of nasty issue for the past six months or so. It seems to be related to the imaging algorithms in Preview when dealing with Firefox (now at v.12) and the Brother printer -- the screwy second page (and beyond) show up skewed and up-sized when doing a print preview also. No such problem seen in Safari or anything else. I am not currently using any other Mozilla apps on this Mac besides Firefox.
    A few months ago I tested printing from my administrator account and  a different user account. Firefox printing was completely normal and as expected. When I went back to my main user account, back came the funky second page.I went through extensive troubleshooting to try to chase it down, systematically removing and replacing apps and preferences and many other Library files related to printing, Brother drivers, Firefox, and Preview. Nothing helped. Solution was to migrate my user files to an account where the printing problem wasn't happening. I deleted the problem user account.
    Everything was fine for about three weeks, and then with no warning, printing was back to the bad second page, just as before. I am stumped, and I'll let smarter people try to figure it out. I use Firefox a lot, and it's possible that some add-on setting is interfering, or a web page I visited turned the printing funky again. I just don't know.
    Also checked on a Mac G4 running Leopard (10.5.8) and Firefox 3.6.28. No printing/preview problems there.
    Now, for the work-around I am currently using -- print each page separately, one at a time. Page 1, then page 2, etc. Preview and printing looks completely normal. Hope this works for you until the bug is located and squashed for good.

  • When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

    I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

  • Acrobat freezes when I OCR pdf files.  How do I fix this?!?

    I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat 11 yesterday onto my MacBook Air. When I try to OCR documents Abobe semi-freezes, meaning that it won't let me save what it has just OCR'd, it won't let me close, it won't even let me minimize the window.  I say "semi-freezes" because it actually does ask me if I want to "save," but trying to do that, or trying to decline to do that and close, is futile. The only way I can get out of this is to shut the computer down completely and then turn it back on again.  This is a disaster because 90% of my job involves working with PDF files and I can't work unless I can OCR these documents.  They are numerous, voluminous, and use many complex terms.
    Please give me step-by-step instructions as to how to fix this, and please assume I know absolutely ZERO technical things about computers.  Many thanks.  Pete

    Moved to https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/scanning_%26_ocr.
    I have used Acrobat 11 on a Macbook Air using both OX X,9 and X.10 without issue. Can I ask which version of Acrobat 11 you are using and what version of OS X? Additionally, are you seeing a freeze or a spinning pizza wheel of death. I have an older machine in which the spinning pizza wheel occurs whenever it feels like and I can wait for minutes before it returns control to me.

  • Acrobat 9 freezes when I open a PDF form

    I've looked through the forums, found similar issues, but not one that seems to offer an answer. When I opened a form (set up for online fill in) and try to edit the text to change an address on the form, Acrobat freezes. I can't even get it to quit without force quitting through the apple menu. I checked in the Get Info and the form has no security.

    If your trying to do so through Reader, you need to go into Acrobat to advanced menu and choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader.
    I was able to go in Acrobat 9.3.0 and file out form

  • Freezing when printing to PDF

    Greetings All,
    I am running Windows server 2003, with Citrix Metaframe 3.0. My clients are Macs connecting with the citrix client as well as MS clients using RDP (the issue happens on both). They run a PC application (a database app) that resides on the Citrix server (MS Windows 2003 server). All is fine, except when a user runs a report and prints that report to a pdf file, when they go to exit that app, their connection freezes and I have to
    manually disconnect them. If the same user uses the same setup logs onto the server, just views the report OR makes any changes to the databse, then exit the app, their connection releases with no issues. So I have narrowed down the issue to printing to a pdf file. Is there a security setting that needs to be modified to allow all users to do this, or is it something else?
    Acrobat 7.0 standard and distiller are installed on
    this server. I've included an event error:

    It is not clear if the client is using Acrobat on a local machine or you are using a server print of a PDF. If the latter, you may have to hope someone has server experience here along with comments about the license. Acrobat generally is only licensed to work on a local machine. Thus if thy are using it locally, they need to be able to somehow see the report and be able to print from the application on their machine.
    I have no clue about the server applications and the possible viewing aspect that is needed.

  • Adobe Standard 9 Freezes when working in PDF File.

    System: Dell T3500 Xeon Processor with XP Pro 64-bit.  6Gb Ram. MS Office 2007. Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Quickbooks Pro 2009. Adobe Standard 9. Linksys Network Magic software. Hardwired to Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router.
    The only program that I am having trouble with is Acrobat.  It will open just fine.  It will open any PDF file ok.  However, as soon as you put the cursor inside the PDF to scroll, open a different page, rescale, ANYTHING, Acrobat freezes.  It remains frozen for up to 30 seconds.  This happens EVERY time you try to do something to the PDF that is loaded.  The file size of the PDF does not matter either.  I have opened very small ones and very large ones.  They all open fine but then freeze as soon as you try to do something with the file. It's not just Adobe that freezes!  It actually locks up the entire computer!

    At the advice of my IT guy at work, I checked the Event Viewer.  This is one of the messages I was getting:
    The protocol handler Search.Mapi2Handler.1 cannot be loaded. Error description: Class not registered.

    and install Windows Search 4.0.
    Where I am still getting the original error above, Acrobat has started working correctly.
    Now.  Something else happened as well.  Actually two things.  First, when I opened Outlook this time, I got a pop-up that said something about RSS feeds - Yes, No, or Ask Me Later.  I think I clicked on NO.
    Now, Outlook is opening faster that ever before and Acrobat is working.
