Acrobat Pro 9.4.7 issue

Acrobat problem: Am creating a 6 layer document w/ multiple 'hotspots' per layer. Many of the hotspots are in the same location on the previous layers. When I add more data I keep activating spots on subsequent layers. This is making it impossible to build. How do I 'deactivate' all other layers layers so I can continue? This is becomming spagetti.
Help.
Thank You

I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry.  :-)
Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.

  • I can't create PDFs from CS3 programs in Acrobat Pro XI. Compatibility issue or just Acrobat?

    I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI this morning. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator don't seem to be supported file types for creating a PDF from Acrobat.  While I usually create my PDFs from the authoring program, I occasionally need to make a lot of PDFs of different files at once, and making them from Acrobat makes sense instead of opening each individual file.
    Is this just a compatibility issue? We have requested upgrades to CS6, but it will be a while before it gets approved (if it gets approved).  Did someone think it was a brilliant idea not to allow PDFs from the CS products to be created from Acrobat instead of the authoring program?

    Can you describe your workflow a little more? Are you saying that you created PDFs of InDesign documents using Acrobat directly -- not using InDesign?
    If that was possible in CS3, I must have missed it.
    FWIW, I can't select CS6 InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop documents in Acrobat X. You can only select a handful of image formats, HTML or PostScript/EPS.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X and Mac issues

    I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Lion and when I go to scan from PDF, my HP Deskjet 3052 A scanner isn't showing up in the drop down menu.  I also have Acrobat Pro X for Windows on my machine (VMWare) and it works fine, but it won't work with the Mac version.  I have called Adobe and HP and neither have been able to help me.  I bought this program with this feature in mind, and I am sick of having to toggle back to Windows to scan, as it eats up a lot of my processing power.  I have downloaded the SANE and TWAIN drivers (or so I thought I did) with no luck.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Adobe acrobat pro extended 9 language issues

    Hi!
    Is there any conflicts/obstacles that may arise using an English version of this software for documents or purposes in other languages or does it support other languages?
    If not, is there any way that I can convert an English language version of Adobe Acrobat Pro extended 9 to Swedish language?
    The reason I ask is that I'm considering buying a used copy of Acrobat pro extended 9, but before doing so I need to know if I would be better off buying a dedicated Swedish version of this software.
    Thanks in advance
    Anders

    Thanks AbhigyanModi!
    What I would like to do with acrobat pro extended 9 is for instance to convert a two-column glossary into Excel keeping the table format. Not sure if using English version will affect the text in the Swedish translation column or not. I've used Acrobat (Swedish version) to a minor extent at work so I'm familiar with some of its benefits, such as the "Copy as table" function.
    I think ibuying this software straight from retail is quite pricey for my needs and that's why I considered buying a used English version of Acrobat Pro extended. But I'm not sure it's worth buying an English version if it will limit the useability for my needs.
    Cheers!

  • Acrobat Pro XI Serial Number Issues

    I just bought and downloaded Acrobat Pro XI.  However, when I try to launch the product I get an error that says "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".   What the heck is this and how do I fix this?  Of course, you can't actually get in touch with Adobe to get this resolved.  This has been the most frustrating and idiotic download I have ever encountered. 

    The messaging is indicating that you purchased an upgrade version of Acrobat and it is trying to find the earlier version that qualifies you to install and activate the upgrade.  You should have the option of entering the serial number for the previous version instead of actually having it installed.
    You should be able to tell if you purchased an upgrade based on the price you paid... check the product page.  If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade version then you should get that resolved thru Adobe Support directly by chat or phone.

  • Acrobat Pro XI File Save Issues

    Each time I attempt to create a PDF from within Word 2003 using the Acrobat Pro XI toolbar icon, Acrobat asks me to name the file (something I'm used to), and then after going through some "printing," it asks me for a"Save As" file name (inserting an Acrxxxx, for instance: Acr74C4). If I keep clicking OK, the program eventually generates the correctly named PDF file. At times, I'm asked to "Save As" more than once.
    I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit, and Office 2003. (All of my software and drivers are up-to-date.)

  • Shared Review: Acrobat Pro 9; Reader 8 issues

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with the Shared Review features on Acrobat 9 Pro, and we've run into some slightly odd behaivour.
    I created a PDF file, sent it for a shared review, and waited for the comments.
    All three reviewers started with Reader 8, received the link, and opened the file easily enough. They each received a warning telling them that they needed Reader 9 or higher to comment on the document, but the document then opened, displayed the commenting tools and the "Publish Comment/Check for new comments" buttons.
    Naturally enough, they all began commenting away anyway, assuming that it would probably be OK, and all published their comments to the server.
    I went online to check for new comments, and found none.
    We went round and upgraded to Reader 9, assuming that that was the issue. Once the upgrade had installed, they opened their previous PDF files (with quite a few comments on) and connected to the server.
    At this point, all their previous comments were deleted, rather than being transferred to the server! This is really quite worrying - surely if this behaviour will occur (all comments deleted on upgrade), then a user should not be allowed to comment at all before upgrading. Is there a workaround? Are the comments still found on the old copy of the document, and are merely just hidden?
    I'd certainly be worried that, were I to send out a document for review to a group of less technically-minded reviewers, we could easily end up with a situation where we'd lose days of work due to them assuming that they could get away with this old version, as all the buttons seemed to be there.
    Anyone else had this problem, or suggestions of ways to work around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    It was on Acrobat.com, so we did know that the reviewers needed Acrobat 9.x - but they were lulled into a false sense of security that it might just work anyway, since the commenting tools and so on appeared.
    Basically the process went:
    Reviewer click on link, signs into Acrobat.com and downloads a copy of the file to their local drive.
    Reviewer opens the local copy of the file, and is warned that they need Reader 9.x, but decide to give it a go regardless.
    Reviewer makes comments on the pdf, hits "Publish Comments", and nothing much happens - I check on the file, and no comments have been transferred to the server.
    At this point we decide to upgrade to Reader 9, so the reviewer saves and closes the local version of the file, and downloads & installs Reader 9.3.
    We open up the local copy of the file (that previously had the comments on) and, when prompted, sign into Acrobat.com.
    We check through the document, looking at the comments - any comments that had been made by other reviewers that were already on the server file are present, but all of the comments that had been made on the local file were deleted, and there appeared to be no way of recovering them.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Acrobat Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

    Hello!  Hope everyone is having a great day!
    I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer.  It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up. 
    I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
    Any ideas would be helpful.  My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so!  Cheers.
    Jeremy

    If you have X.5.8.  look here:
    I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
    In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
    As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as  the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

  • Acrobat Pro 6.0 install issues

    I had to reinstall CS1 over the weekend all went well except Acrobat. It acts as though it's installing OK and then finishes. However - it doesn't show up on the Start>Programs menu and when I go directly to the directory where it installed and go to start it I get the following message:
    No Valid Acrobat serial number found. Acrobat will now quit.
    Can I just go to the registry and manually enter the CS S/N? if so what registry directory would it go into? Are there any other solutions?

    Even if you succeed in installing the package, you would have to deal with a lot of workaround to get it to function. The print driver and AcroTray are two parts of the package that will fail. It is time to purchase a new version. AA6 is too old for an upgrade.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

    I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
    PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
    ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
    I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
    The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
    My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
    Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
    Include comments: True
    Include images: True
    Run OCR if needed: True
    Notes:
    -I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
    -I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
    -I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
    -I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
    I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
    Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
    EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

    I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

  • Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

    Hello all,
    I am having issues- big ones- please help!
    I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
    This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
    I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
    Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
    I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
    Don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    A.

    I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it.  Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format? 
    For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out.  They fill it out and click a button to email it to me.  When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
    Thank you for your help thus far.  It has been much  more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 MacOSX & XP Not the Same, Having YouTube Embedd Issues

    Hello Everyone,
    I am currently working on a project that requires cross platform MacOSX and PC XP users to see included Video From the Web from sources such as YouTube and Audio Sites embedded into a PDF.
    The content needs to appear the same in both platforms. The content must be a refference file to play within the PDF, video can not be copied and converted to another format and be re-embedded. The content must remain in the format housed on it's local server. *
    Using a technique I found on several Acrobat forums you can create an HTML page with the Embed Tags from YouTube then use Windows XP and Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 to convert it to a PDF. (I have VMware with XP and a Trial Of Acrobat Pro 9.3.1)
    On the PC you can then open the PDF and see the video play, so on the PC all is good. You can even copy and paste the video between other PC based PDF documents but none of the content is visible or playable within the MacOSX environments (10.5.8 or 10.6.2 with Acrobat 9.3.1 Pro). All You Get is blank page, the content is there if you move your mouse around it will change to an arrow and you can select it but it never connects to load the content. Sometimes it shows it is buffering to download but nothing happens. There is a Security menu that loads asking if you want to allow the connection and I say yes but it does nothing.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    A person in one of the forums sent me a file Hulu Video Embedded into a PDF created on an Windows XP service pack 3 system with a trial of Acrobat pro 9.3.1., the file was a acrobat v.1.7 version accorinding to the properties manager and the unique this was it played fine on the Mac. Now when I try and duplicate this it fails to work, I have no idea why now. Any ideas?
    I am currently designing a project in Indesign and need to place the Multimedia content within the design for Online Distribution.
    Note that in Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 the Multimedia components do not allow for embedding the content in a Flash Element or Video Element on the PDF. It will refuse to recognize that format. I have copied the YouTube Embed Tags in the video and flash multimedia componetns with ZERO success, it always states that it is an unknown format. Placing Audio into the PDF works fine though. The only issue is that player looks strange till you select it the first time. (would like to resolve that as well)
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Note: PC Xp Software fully updated to latest builds, Acrobat 9.3.1 on Both MacOSX and XP Systems, Both MacOSX & XP have latest versions of Flash Player.
    Regards,
    Robert
    I am going to attach the file that was made for me showcasing that the video works on a Mac.
    The file is called: ByBrianForRobertWorksinMacOSX
    The next file I made on my Windows Xp Vmware with a trial of Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 - When I load it on the PC it works fine, but in the Mac it just states its buffering. The video is in pdf on the upper left corner under the text.

    Solution: install all fonts
    When the user installs Acrobat, they must use the Custom installation option and  select

  • Issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Version 11.1.10

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI version  11.1.10 when I try to delete a page I get an error message, "one or more pages are in use and cannot be deleted". I would like to delete the pages?

    Hi Frank,
    This type of error usually occurs when two or more than two programs are accessing the same file at a point of time.
    Does this issue occur with that specific pdf or with other pdfs too?
    How about if you make a copy of that pdf and then try deleting pages from that copied pdf? Do let me know if that works.
    If possible...Can you mail me that pdf file at [email protected] so that i can check this issue at my end?
    Regards,
    Rahul
