Acrobat 6.0 Professional - Document Compare

Hi All,
I'm opening two PDF files in Acrobat 6.0 professional programatically from VB.NET program and I'm comparing those two documents using MenuitemExecute(DIGSIG:CompareDocuments ) command and generating the side by side comparison file programatically.
During this process after executing the command "MenuitemExecute(DIGSIG:CompareDocuments )" adobe is displaying "Compare Documents" dialog box where the user need to click OK on it in order to continue with the further process.
My requirement is to suppress the dialog box and automate the process.Mine is desktop application developed in VB.NET.
So.., could you please any one let me know how to suprress the dialog box and the posiible ways to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vijay.

Thanks for your reply Aandi,
I can able to run compare function using Menu Item execute but after that a dialog box "Compare Documents" is poping up where it requires user action to click "OK" on that dialog box to continue with comparison. So, is there any possible way to capture that "OK" click programatically.
Thanks & Regards
Vijay.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Document Compare (Revision Bars)

When comparing two documents using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, is it possible to generate revision bars in the margin in sections where text has changed (the documents in question would be text-only).
Thanks!

But the image is there when I click, it's just very small.

Document Compare Function in Acrobat Professional 9

Document Compare function
I use the 'compare' function to compare documents versions etc for changes. It looks like only 250 pages is the maximum number of pages that can compared during each operation.
I am using documents that are 900+ pages and I keep the error message/screenshot attached.
Is this a limitation with Acrobat Professional 9?

Yes, it would appear to be a limitation that Adobe have put in. I'm in a similar situatiion where I have documents up to 2500 pages long that must be compared so while it takes longer I do the compare in batches of 250 pages at a time. It could be as a result of resource usage. I'm finding that when I do a compare, the fisrt one is generally ok but after that Acrobat slows down considerably - it may just be my computer (XP Pro 1.5 GB RAM and 2.8 GHz) but I'd like to know does Acrobat empty the cache or is the cache filling up after each compare and hogging resources?
It's a great function but I wish it would work the way I expect it to.
Cheers

Document compare in Acrobat 9 a backwards step?

It looks like Adobe in their infinite wisdom have dumbed-down the document compare in Acrobat 9.
In Acrobat 8 and before it used to be possible to do a quick-and-easy text comparison to highlight differences between documents. Now there are 3 (undefined) ways of comparing documents, none of which are suitable for comparing two mostly textual documents. The 250 page limit is madness too - many of our documents are 1000+ pages which Acrobat 8 used to handle perfectly well.
Is there any way of getting the old (Acrobat 8) document compare functionality back?

I'm afraid I don't have help for you, David, but I fully support your subject line!
When I used Acrobat 8, I was able to do fairly quick and really effective document comparisons, in which Acrobat 8 focused on what I asked it to focus on (especially text). With Acrobat 9, I no longer have this control, and the comparison quality is horrendous. Acrobat 9 arbitrarily treats some text as images, fails to see blatantly-obvious differences, reports no differences in blatantly-obvious changed text content, and also reports some "ghost changes" (such as multiple "matching graphic not found" messages around words in blocks of text where no graphics ever existed).
I'm disappointed as well.

Acrobat 6.0 Professional- Having Trouble with a Large Document-Please Help

Using Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Working with a large document (1400 pages, 25 megs). I broke it into two parts to make it easier to work with. However, even though the two parts are now 700 pages, they are each still 25 megs. It appears that each document is retaining the full history of the document, perhaps as restore points. How do I purge the history so the document is small and more manageable?

I am not sure if version 6 can optimize PDF files but in version 9, you have to follow these instructions:
Optimize a PDF
Note: Optimizing a digitally signed document removes and invalidates the digital signatures.
Open the PDF Optimizer dialog box.
To use the default settings, choose Standard from the Settings menu, and then skip to step 6. If you change any settings in the PDF Optimizer dialog box, the Settings menu automatically switches to Custom.
From the Make Compatible With menu, choose Retain Existing to keep the current PDF version, or choose an Acrobat version. (The options available in panels vary depending on this choice.)
Select the check box next to a panel (for example, Images, Fonts, Transparency), and then select options in that panel. To prevent all of the options in a panel from executing during optimization, deselect the check box for that panel.
(Optional) To save your customized settings, click the Save button and name the settings. (To delete a saved setting, choose it in the Settings menu and click Delete.)
When you are finished selecting options, click OK.
In the Save Optimized As dialog box, click Save to overwrite the original PDF with the optimized PDF, or select a new name or location.To optimize several documents at the same time, use the Output options for the Batch Processing command.
It is worth a try assuming you have this facility in version 6.
Always backup the document before doing this.
Good luck.

Creating Expandable fields in Abobe Acrobat 9.0 professional

Hello,
I am in the process of converting a standard PDF file to a interactive one. The problem I am having is that some of the fields need to be expandable to accommodate needs of the application. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to convert the standard form into a PDF file to PDF interactive file.
I have looked in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional but I have not been able to find any documentation on how to expand the fields in the 9.0 Professional version.
Can you tell me if the LiveCycle Designer has the ability to expand fields and if so how can I set up the document to create the expanded fields. I have reviewed the help documents but it not very clear as to how to go about accomplishing this task.
I have attache the form that I like to expand.
I would really appreciate some guidance in this area
Thank you for your time
Gary

Hi,
Yes, LC has expandaple fields.
First you have to make your field multiline
Second - make it expand:
But you shaould remember tha field will be expanded only after you type smth in it and lost focus.

Adobe acrobat 7.0 professional installed on windows 8

With the assistance of Adobe Chat I have downloaded adobe acrobat 7.0 professional to my desktop which has windows 8. Everything works beautifully except when I go on to internet explorer and try to view a pdf document. It says "This page can't be displayed". I'm sure it is just a setting somewhere, can anyone help me? Thank you, Don.

Yes, I successfully installed Acrobat 7.0 professional on Windows 8. I’m now able to create pdf files on my Microsoft Office Suit (Word & Excel) and anytime I need to add/extract pages, etc. in these pdf files I’m able to use 7.0. My only problem was opening pdf’s on my internet explorer. I downloaded the latest version of Adobe reader and now everything works great (for my needs). I now have the choice of opening my pdf files (In “Documents”) in either 7.0 or reader, depending if I want to just read the document or work with it. I have no need to create pdf files with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 because saving documents in pdf format is a built-in feature of my Microsoft Office suit software (which is great)

Hyperlinks in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional won't work

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional and MS Word 2003. When I convert Word documents to PDF, my hyperlinks won't work. In Word they work fine but when I click on them in a newly created PDF file, nothing happens.
I would be so grateful if someone could teach me how to fix this!
Thanks in advance,
Gloria

Thanks Bill! I have just managed to fix this 'missing hyperlinks' problem myself using Word settings. For everyone interested this is what I did:
- If your hyperlinks in Word doc are working fine but when you convert the file to PDF they won't work, you need to make sure that in Adobe PDFMaker Settings menu, in Application Settings the "Add links to Adobe PDF" box is SELECTED.
- Also, the conversion settings should be at High Quality.
Hope this helps everyone who is suffering because of the same problem!
The only problem I am still having is the darker, dirtier colours of my headlines and captions (dark purple instead of bright pink, dark red instead of normal red, etc.).

Adobe 9 Pro Document Compare Error

Hello Folks,
I have a user with Adobe 9 Pro and he is attempting to do a document compare between 2 pdf docs. It looks like it does the compare but he then gets an error "Acrobat could not create the report document!". I have gone ahead and completely uninstalled and re-installed the application but that did not help. Others in his department with the same app and set up are able to do the compare with no problems. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you need further info, let me know.

Users custom stamps dissapear in Acrobat 7.0 Professional

Hello,
For some reason our users custom stamps are dissapearing in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional when they close Acrobat, reopen it, and attemp to use the stamp(s) they had previously created. I am not sure if we can upgrade Acrobat because the users documents have to comply with some patch standard at http://www.uspto.gov/. Where would I need to look in order to find out what version/patches http://www.uspto.gov/ supports so I can troubleshoot the problem more effectively?
Thank you.

Yes, but i was hoping to be able to convert multiple files through acrobat rather than plot one at a time through autocad. thanks.

I was wondering how come my Acrobat 6.0 Professional Standard before I had no problem now when I use it it states the program has compatibility issues, I have windows 7 what can I do..it was working before

I am looking for help in correcting this issue... I had no problem before using my Acrobat 6.0 professional to create word documents to pdf...now when I go to use it there seems to be a problem
it states that the program has compatibility issues with window 7
can anyone help please.

To expand on this, the PDF creation aspect of Acrobat had to be updated to deal with changes in the Windows spooling system (for the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance) as well as to support 64-bit versions of Windows.

Printer and printer-scanner isn't recognised by Acrobat 7.1 Professional, though it is by Reader

I'm running Acrobat 7.1 Professional with latest updates, on a WinXP system (SP3). Printer-scanner is a Brother 420CN and a laser printer HL 2040. Neither is recognised by Acrobat, although I can print to them from Reader (latest version) and any other program. This failure to recognise printer occurred failry recently, possibly after a recent update to Acrobat? I've tried "Detect and repair", but it appears to not run. (A dialogue screen flashes and disappears too fast to read) I've reinstalled Acrobat using the msi file in the Acrobat folder. Nothing has made any diference - still no printer!
In print set-up or print, a dialogue box asks "Before you can perform printer related taks, such as print set-up or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?". On selecting "Yes" another box opens stating that "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" However on checking component services, print spooler is running! I've checked this both before and after going through this dialogue.
I was unable to reinstall Acrobat over the present installation using the opriginal CD as it recognised the installed (and updated) Acrobat as being of a later version than the version on the CD, and I didn't want to uninstall and then reinstall as I wanted to keep the document history. (Is history in a file that I can copy and keep during an install, or is it not deleted during uninstall?)
Has anyone else faced and solved this printing problem? Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your advice

If you are using a Windows based computer, follow the instructions for resetting the AMDS > How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
Reset the AMDS then see if the battery will charge while the iPhone is on.
If not, try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Acrobat Distiller 8 Professional

Hello,
We have the following problem. We have a folder with several MS Word documents. When an MS Word document is created in a specific folder we want them to convert automatically into a PDF document.
Acrobat Distiller 8 Professional have the "watched folder" feature but can only read .ps documents. Is there any solution (maybe another Adobe program) to convert our MS word documents automatically into PDF documents?
Kind regards,
Steven De Smet

>When I post in another forum nobody respons.
I looked into your post in the Acrobat Windows forum.
You seem to have accidentally added this to another topic, rather than
creating a new post with an accurate subject that describes your
problem. The subject is VERY important, as people use this to decide
whether to read your message.
Worse, you added to a thread with the title "Acrobat 8: Extracting &
Printing Highlighted Sentences", which really has no connection at
all.
You also perhaps missed the adivice I gave you "be sure to say the
exact version of Distiller you have, the version of Windows, and when
you get this error message." This is important too.
I recommend you make a new post bearing these points in mind. Good
luck,
Aandi Inston

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional in Macbook Pro

After installation of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, running the software freezes the whole system. Updating of Adobe Acrobat Professional to version 7.07 doesn't help.. Full reinstallation of Mac OSX doesn't help. Running disk utility doesn't help either. Problems occurred after installing of Apple Security Update 2006-003(intel). Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional can run smoothly before installing Apple Security Update 2006-003(intel). Any comments?

Actually, there are two major hiccups out there. This link indicates Quicktime's update is the source of the inability to restart machines, fixed by deleting startup items, I believe.
http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/05/24/cs2quicktime/index.php
Accrobat's freezing the system is a result of the Security Update, fixed by rolling back to a pre-Security Update state using Archive & Install re-installation of the OS. Archive & Install does not erase your files or network settings.
Apple has released two products that fouled these systems. Bad Quality Assurance I think.

What OS? Modern OSs will not support Acrobat 7.
