Removal of Bates numbering in Adobe Acrobat Pro X

We can't remove the bates numberings in our PDF docs. When we try to we get a message that says
"Acrobat cannot find any Bates Number in this file. If you see Bates Number information, it was not added in Acrobat or by an Adobe PDFMaker, and cannot be detected as such"
Is there another way to remove this?
The docs we're working on are scanned.

Obviously, the previous answers are correct. Since the Bates numbers are simply image content at this point, your options are limited. In addition to the redaction tool, however, if the Bates numbering text is clean and positioned away from other content, you may be able to OCR the document, then use the Search and Redact function in Acrobat to remove the Bates numbers.
The only other option (assuming the placement of the Bates numbering is extremely consistent, such as those applied with Acrobat or a similar tool) would be the use of the custom redaction template feature in a 3rd party plug-in by Evermap called AutoRedact. This software would allow you to create a custom template that could then be applied to each page, at which point the image content contained within the resulting rectangle annotation could be redacted.
Disclosure: I have no affiliation of any kind with Evermap, but did address the use of several of their products in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide."
Hope that helps!

How do I remove a digital signature from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have set it up wrongly.

I created a digital signature but I wanted to change the signature and it also was not password protected. So I deleted the signature but cannot delete the certificate to set it up again.
Mac OS X (Operating System)
So I am unable to delete the digital signature in Acrobat Xi pro.
I did the following: Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Creation and Appearance Preferences and deleted the signature. But Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Digittal ID and Trusted Certificate Settings, does not want to delete.
Tank you.

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

How to round numbers using javascript in Adobe Acrobat Pro?

How to round numbers using java script in Adobe Acrobat Pro?
For example:
1.2 becomes 1.0
1.7 becomes 2.0
Thank you.

Assuming you've already set the field to a Number format category and limited it to one digit to the right of the decimal, you can use the following custom Validate script:
// Custom Validate script
event.value = Math.round(event.value);

How to remove reserved content on adobe acrobat pro 8

how can i remove reserved content on adobe acrobat pro 8

If the camera burns in the date/time stamp, then there is not much that can be done.
If you need to eliminate that, then the best would be to apply the Effect>Motion>Scale, to enlarge the footage, until the date/time stamp is effectively cropped off by the Frame Size. You might want to look into Effect>Motion>Position, to "move" the date/time stamp closer to an edge.
The other method is tedious, and requires ideally Adobe AfterEffects. There, you could use the Clone Tool, to "paint out" the date/time stamp, if there is enough clean background to do so.
A variation on that method would be to Export/Share as a Filmstrip and Import that into Photoshop (if one had Photoshop Extended, there are other formats, that would work too), and then Frame by Frame, use the Clone Tool to remove that image.
Though not a way to remove it, you can also replace it with a Title, that occupies the area of the date/time stamp, and just cover it up.
If the camera allows you to turn that "feature" OFF, you would want to do so for newer footage.
Good luck, and sorry for the bad news.

Can I remove crop marks with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Can I remove crop marks using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

Mylenium, I hate to ask, but in Acrobat XI, where do I find the Crop Pages feature?
In the right sidebar, under Tools > Pages, I see a Crop command. This seems to allow me to draw a box, but it does not seem very precise.
Under Print Production, I see a Set Pages Boxes command. I can't figure out how this works. I can choose Trim from a pop-up menu and guides show up where they should, but they just disappear when I click OK. (Also, the margin numnbers in that box get set to zero after doing tha; but, I digress.)
So, how can I just accurately trim the page to the trim area?
Thank you!

CS4 suite serial number does not work for Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hello,
I am looking for a solution for the serial number issue I am having with Adobe Acrobat Pro. All of other programs within the suite open fine, but when I open Adobe Acrobat Pro it asks for a serial number. When I type in the serial number, I am given a red "X".
I have called customer support, but they haven't been able to give me any information that will resolve my issue (uninstalled 4 times now). I have Vista and have looked online and on the Adobe website to find a solution. It looks like others are having the same issue from what I can tell while searching. I have run the script too and then reinstalled, but still nothing.

After some stupid upgrade in my computer (who knows as Microsoft is always doing something), my Acrobat 9 in CS4 stopped working. The error message said to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. So I went through the control panel and uninstalled it. I then loaded the CD and reinstalled. However the reinstall would NOT accept the orginal serial number. I called Adobe and they gave me a different serial number. Before I let the guy nof the line I tried the number and it did NOT work! So then he gave me another number which asked for the previous verison- apparently it was an upgrade number. Luckily I had my old CS3 software and I gave it that number and then it accepted the install. The program now works BUT there is no longer any ADD/REMOVE choice in the CS4 suite in the control panel. There is no way to automatically remove this program anymore! What a mess.
After reading some of the installation problems others have had and no solutions, I count myself lucky! At least I was able to get the program running.
Therefore my advise on the serial number problem is to get Adobe on the phonen and get them to give you a number that will work, and don't hang up until you know the program is working!
If anyone knows how to add the Acrobat to the the add/remove functions in the control panel, please let me know!

PDF files opens in Adobe Reader 9 but not Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.
I can open the same PDF file with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
If I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
Happens to my administrator account as well.

So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

Then, on right hand side panel, click on 'Desktop' under Apps section. And then location Acrobat XI Pro and download it.

Adobe acrobat pro 9 WIN AOO IE invalid serial

Hi,
We have recently replaced all of our PC's in our office, and I have tried installing our copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 WIN AOO Licence IE onto our new machines, using the serial number provided on our Software License Certificate.
We no longer have the CD in the office, but I did download the version found here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
However I keep getting the 'invalid serial key' response.
I spoke to Adobe support and was told they do not support Acrobat 9 anymore, and that I should try the forums.
Any one have any ideas?
Regards,
Donalee

The download link that you have used is of retail version hence that is why you have the error, since it is volume licensing product, the download link , serial number are located in www.licensing.adobe.com .
The link Adobe Licensing Website | Serial numbers | Orders | Accounts has complete detail, still if you need help you may contact Adobe support whose link is at bottom of the mentioned document.

Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended version 9.3.4 reading Inventor 2009

I would like to be able to generate 3D PDF files from Autodesk Inventor CAD models (e.g. .iam files) using Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended. I am constrained to use Inventor 2009. When I originally installed Acrobat Pro Extended, I was able to make this work after installing the IMPORT3D update at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4073
Recently (9/5/2010), I updated Acrobat Pro Extended to version 9.3.4. I believe that following that update, I lost the ability to read in Inventor 2009 files. Acrobat Pro Extended now gives the error messages:
"Exception has been raised" followed by:
"Acrobat could not open 'file' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
This is exactly what happened when I first installed Acrobat Pro extended and before I installed the IMPORT3D update mentioned above. I tried re-installing that update but now the installer gives the error message:
"No qualifying products found to apply this update."
Note that Inventor 2009 does allow one to "Save Copy As" to PDF format, but this just creates a 2D PDF snapshot of the current model view -- same for print to pdf.
I suppose one thing to try is removing Acrobat Pro Extended and then re-installing without the 9.3.4 update, but with the IMPORT3D update -- but if that is necessary, then I won't be able to take advantage of any further updates (e.g. security updates) to Acrobat, which seems like a bad situation.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me?

I may have figured out what was causing my problem with conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF. After playing around with a number of inventor files, I discovered that the conversion worked fine when there were no references to external files. For example a .ipt file (part file) seemed to convert fine. I believe the problem was that on the form one obtains with Edit->Preferences->Convert to PDF->Autodesk Inventor->Edit Settings->Import->Assembly, the check box for "use root file directory" was NOT checked. Oddly, this is the default and I'm pretty sure I tried setting the conversion options to the default. In any case, I now seem to be able to perform the conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF so this problem is solved I guess.

Show that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed on my Windows 8 computer, but I can't find the app list

I am using windows 8 and the Adobe Cloud shows that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed and updated, but I can't find the app, and, when looking at my list of programs to "uninstall", I don't see it listed either. (I thought a possible solution might be to uninstall and install again)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

HI Marshapearson,
Please try removing Acrobat from the link mentioned below.

How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9

How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9
It happens on multiple PCs

All menu content, include motion, is limited to 1 Gig. This is not easy to calculate. This is not a common error unless you are over.
When projects are revised, particularly numerous times, Encore may not correctly remove old elements.
Easiest method here is probably to start the project over. You can import the menus from the old project.
You can also close this project, and try clearing the media cache.

Secunia & Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.3.1

Hi,
According to Secunia, my updated version of Adobe Acrobat Extended Pro 9.3.1 is insecure.
I have clicked on the Download Solution button on Secunia to obtain the latest Adobe Acrobat Version. After loading the latest version, I still have the following information.
Secunia points to the following file: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
And reports that my version is: 9.3.0.148
Yet, when I fire up my Adobe Acrobat Extended and then go Help | About, I see the version is 9.3.1.
When Adobe updates Acrobat, does it leave insecure files behind? Is there anything I can do to ensure that my version of Adobe Acrobat is completely secure? How do I get Secunia to recognize my updated and, I hope, secure version?
Sincerely,
Kevin

Hi Bill,
I suspect that its latest version 9.3.1 is secure, at least for now.
My concern is that, for whatever reason, Secunia continues to think I have a prior version (9.3.0.148).
I had a similar problem with Flash. To solve my Adobe Flash problem, I used an Adobe uninstaller to completely remove Flash and then reinstall the latest version from Adobe web site.
I can't do that with my Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended. I need to get incremental upgrades through the upgrade process.
I have a hunch that the upgrades don't remove all the prior detritus from prior versions and that is tripping up the Secunia security.
I am hoping someone else has encountered the same issues and has found a solution.
Sincerely,
Kevin
