Functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac questions?

Greetings! After 35 years in the Windows environment, I became the proud owner of a MacBook air last night, and I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac on it. I would like to know if the features and functionality of the Mac version are the same as those on the Adobe Acrobat Standard that I have been using in my Windows environment for so many years.
The Windows version gives me everything I need, most importantly the ability to add text as annotations into documents that have been scanned and sent to me as PDFs, fill in forms, create forms, etc.
Additionally, can someone help me with the differences between the subscription version and the full purchase version? Does the subscription version have any problems, is it just as functional as the full purchase version?
Thank you so much all!
S.

If you don't have a physical printer hooked up to your Mac you can still do the Save As Adobe PDF with a "faux" printer setup.  Here are the steps to set that up:
1.  Go to Apple menu>System Preference>Printers and Scanners
2.  Press the plus symbol button "+"
3.  In the Add dialog select IP at the top
4.  in the Address field put the numbers 127.0.0.1
5.  In the Protocol pop-up menu make sure that Line Printer Daemon - LPD is selected
6.  Leave the Queue field bland for the default printer
7.  In the Name field it will say "127.0.0.1" and you can leave it to that or change it to anything you want.
8.  Leave the Location field blank
9.  Leave the Use field pop-up menu field at the default which is Generic PostScript Printer.
10.  Click the Add button
11.  You will get the message:
"Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to '127.0.0.1' due to an error.
Would you still like to create the printer?"
12.  Click the Continue button.
13.  In the Setting up '127.0.0.1...' dialog click the OK button
14.  Open up TextEdit
15.  Type some test text (e.g.  Test Text)
16. In TextEdit Go to File>Print
17. In the Print dialog, press on the PDF button on the lower Left side of the window.
18.  Select Save As Adobe PDF.
19.  In the Save As Adobe PDF dialog, select your Adobe PDF Settings and whether or not you want the resulting PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then click the Continue button.
20. In the Save window, title your PDF in the Save As: field, navigate to the location you want to save the PDF and then click the Save button.
21. Done.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro for MAC

    I have been unable to download PDF's from trusted sites.  While the file downloads, it will not open and is listed as unreadable.  When I attempt to print to PDF docs are blank.  If I simply attempt to print certain files they are blank as well.  How can I fix this?

    What version of Acrobat Pro are you using? It's possible you may need to uninstall Acrobat (there is a link to the Uninstaller in the Applications/Acrobat Pro folder), then reinstall again.

    I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac.  I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home page (just like the windows based) instead of the "getting started" window.

    Good day,
    Choose Acrobat > Preferences.  Click 'General'.  Uncheck the 'Show welcome screen' option under Application Startup.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

    I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
    Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Acrobat Pro for Mac bought on Amazon;how can I register it?. registration code they give me, it doesn't work. (It has letters and the registration boxes won't accept letters.)  How do I get this to work?

    I purchased Acrobat Pro for Mac on Amazon. When I try to register with the registration code they give me, it doesn't work. (It has letters and the registration boxes won't accept letters.) How do I get this to work?

    If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
    If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
    Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

    If you purchased it from the Adobe Store on the web then you need to contact Adobe.  If you purchased it from another party on the web then you need to contact that third party vendor.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard -vs- Adobe Acrobat Pro (for large PDF files)

    I need to make a PDF from approximately 600 photos. Is the application Adobe Acrobat Standard competent to achieve this task? Or is it preferable to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

    Neither has particular limits relevant to this.
    If you are making for professional publishing, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.
    However, be aware that YOU DO NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS OR MAKE BOOKS IN ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the view that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher or whatever. It doesn't.

  • Will Acrobat Pro for Mac Version 11.0.07 continue to function if I upgrade my OS to Mac OS X Yosemite?

    I've had issues in the past with Acrobat Pro losing functionality after I've upgraded to a newer Mac OS.  Hopefully this won't occur when Mac launches Yosemite.  Any comments?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and I can no longer print 2D barcodes.  I have deleted and updated all my print drivers, so it is an Acrobat Pro (11.0.9) problem.

  • Acrobat Pro for Mac

    I am trying to convert a combination of PDF, Word and Excel files into a single PDF file, but the Word and Excel files/pages are being rejected. I have no trouble doing this on my Windows version of Acrobat Pro and wondering if the same functionality is available on the Mac version.

    Adobe built that feature for its enterprise customers because most of them use Outlook and Windows. They have lagged in providing similar support for Macintosh applications. I think that that support is still lagging, but they're starting to move in the right direction.
    That feature is not yet supported. You can file a feature request if you like:

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Mac, and Scanning with HP Deskjet Issue!

    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.  I have also un-installed and re-installed the printer and Adobe multiple times, with no luck!  Please help me!

    How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?
    Depending on your printer and the type of driver update, you might need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mountain Lion. 
    NOTE:Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
