10.6.8 breaks Adobe Acrobat 8

Yeah I was not using the latest version of Acrobat, but it worked fine.
Really Apple is becoming just as bad as Microsoft.
You were a much better company when you weren't selling toys for the mass market but instead were concerned about professional users.

It is NOT Apple's fault that you are using an outdated version of a 3rd party product. Your best bet is to post over on Adobe's forums if you do not want to update their software.

Armsvc.exe (Adobe Acrobat Update Service) breaks Internet Connection

I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI. Whenever the process "armsvc.exe" running, my Internet Connection became "Limited", then after a few seconds, my Internet Modem restart automatically, then "Limited" again then Restart again...
I have to end this process via the Task Manager and my Internet Connection now works normally.
I cannot find out the reason . Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

Disable to updates service and simply download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. For XI, you can jump right to 07 update.

While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

How to Uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9.0 from Vista?

On my laptop (Windows Vista), I have a Adobe Acrobat 9.0 which I need to uninstall. It was giving me limited access and use. To remedy this, I installed, Adobe Reader 8.0. That works fine but when I want to read pdf files, the 9.0 version pops up first and gives me a message that I'm unable to read the file. I can't always elect "Save Target As" to opt to use the 8.0 version of Reader (i.e. viewing bank statements).
When I went to delete Adobe 9.0 from my C drive, I was denied access because I "don't have permission".
Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can only uninstall from an administrative account. Be aware you are not supposed to have Reader and Acrobat on the same machine. Uninstalling Acrobat 9 will break Reader which will need to be re-installed. For Vista compatability make sure you update to 8.1.3 or later.

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

How do you Make an Interactive Drop Down Menu in Adobe Acrobat Pro That Uses Hyperlinks?

Hi first off let me point out and apologise in advance for my ignorance and possibly my misuse of the correct terms, I'm new to this.
Anyway here goes, my best attempt to try and explain myself. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro I am trying to create a drop down menu that lists a set of documents. Once you click an item in the drop down menu it then opens up the corresponding document. So far example the Menu reads "Documents" and below it there is three options "Dogs" "Cats" "Hotdogs" when you click on "Hotdogs" you open up the document for hotdogs etc.
I have actually done it once before using Javascript and a combo box and I think basically you buried the links to documents in a series of bookmarks, the Javascript code then was basically a shortcut to activate those bookmarks.
So in short, could someone please tell me the code I would need to make this happen? I have looked extensively for the right forum post to see if my question has already been covered but I couldn't find anything and I possibly could have been using the wrong search terms.
Please ask me to clarify anything to help you understand what it is I'm asking.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Elliot.

Hey I think I found a solution to my own problem I made an "OK Button" right click>properties>actions>select action>run a javascript>add - and executed this code:
function searchBookmarks(bkm, nLevel, bkmName)
if ( bkm.name == bkmName ) return bkm;
if (bkm.children != null) {
for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)
var bkMark = searchBookmarks(
bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1, bkmName);
if ( bkMark != null ) break;
return bkMark;
return null;
function bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks)
   if(bookmarks && bookmarks.children)
     for(var i=0;i<bookmarks.children.length;i++)
bookmarkName = bookmarks.children[i].name.replace(/\s{2,}/g,' ');
while (bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11)) > 0)
bookmarkName = bookmarkName.substring(0,bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))) +" "+ bookmarkName.substring(bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))+1)
popUp = popUp+"{cName: '"+bookmarkName+"', cReturn: '"+bookmarkName+"'" ;
if(bookmarks.children[i].children)
          popUp = popUp + ", oSubMenu: [";
   bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks.children[i]);
   popUp = popUp + "]";
popUp = popUp+"}";
if (i != bookmarks.children.length-1)
popUp = popUp+", "
   return popUp;
var popUp = "";
bookmarksAsPopUp(this.bookmarkRoot);
var cChoice = eval("app.popUpMenuEx(" + popUp + ")" ) ;
bkm = searchBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0, cChoice );
if ( bkm != null ) bkm.execute();
Then you can just add your own bookmarks and they populate the pop-up menu automatically (including the hierarchy sub menu structure, you nest bookmarks within a main book mark.) which is a more efficient way than the one I used before.
I take no credit for this by the way my source is here PDF Bookmarks as a PopUp Menu | The Practical:PDF Blog
I hope this helps anybody looking to do the same.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro adding a blank page on conversion from Word 2010

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm converting a Word 2010 document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.5.4). On conversion to PDF, a blank page is being added, throwing the entire report off. In word, there is a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of the first page, and the text continues on the second. On conversion, it is after this section break that the blank page apears (i.e., between pages 1 and 2 of the document). I've been back and forth through the document, tried to use a Continuous Section Break instead (Word just converts it to a page break again), making sure there's only one break, etc., and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...

How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard

How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard after installing it on Windows 7? Ive tried a few AcrobatUpd8**_all_incr.msp files but I get an error that the program to upgrade may be missing. I cannot afford to upgrade it to X* when this works for what I need it for which is simply to break up multi page documents created by Quickbooks.

Certainly, the printer driver in Acrobat 8.0 cannot install in Windows 7 64 bit - it wasn't written too. Apparently, though, 8.1 is capable of installing the printer driver.
Unfortunately, Adobe have taken down the page with release notes. But you may need to use the *efg* (English, French, German) versions. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-7.html
After 8.1 there is a "universal" (all language) update.

Adobe Acrobat X: Attachments and Extended Reader Functions...

All,
after adding attachments (e.g. PDF documents) to a PDF document and saving the document with "Extended Reader Functions" an error is shown in the Java debugger window:
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
10:Document-Level:ADBE::FileAttachmentsCompatibility
Adobe creates a document-level javascript function called "FileAttachmentsCompatibility" within ADBE.
Looking into the source code, the error can be easily seen
app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des...
(a part of the German version is shown)
As one can see, the highlighting "Speichern" (saving) is inside of double quotation marks.
This can only be solved by - again - saving the newly created document as a copy. Opening this document, one can edit the faulty script
Find below the corrected version:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
if (this.external)
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des Dokuments zu speichern. Öffnen Sie die Kopie in Adobe Acrobat, und wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)
if (n == 0)
   var np = this.numPages;
   syncAnnotScan();
   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie oben in der vertikalen Bildlaufleiste des Dokumentfensters auf das schwarze Dreieck und wählen "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);
   else
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Dokument" > "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);

The script was automatically created by the Adobe Acrobat software...
I know the issue, but is there any bug-fix available? I don't want to correct it for every document!
Correction: Above you find the automatically created document.
A corrected possibility is shown below:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
if (this.external)

else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie 'Datei' > 'Dokumenteigenschaften' > 'Eingebettete Datenobjekte'.", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)

   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)

Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 won't pick up links in Word doc ...

That's it really, in a nutshell.
My new Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 doesn't pick up the bookmarked and url links in my Word doc.
As it's new, I'm wondering if it's just a settings problem?
I'd be grateful for any help. I've been referred all over the place today with this problem - spoken to one Adobe type person after another, and none of them know the answer.
Thanks for listening anyway!

Yes, Geoff and Bill ...I had already done all that.
But it is picking up some links and not others ... breaking some in half even.
For instance, on the Word doc, I have the hyperlink 'National Health Service', but all Acrobat picks up is 'Health Service'. The link goes to right bookmark in the Glossary for National Health Service, but the description is incomplete, just 'Health Service'.
In another instance, I have a series of links to bookmarked items in the same Glossary, which are separated by commas, thus:

What can acutonics be used for?
Comparable to many other similar therapies, acutonics can be used as a general tool to aid the bodys spirit. It has also been used to treat a number of other ailments, very differing in type, such as: respiratory, gynaecological, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, gastrointestinal, emotional and psychological, in addition to many other chronic and debilitating conditions.[/quote]
The words "gynaecological, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, gastrointestinal" are each individually hyperlinked to different parts of the Glossary. But Acrobat only recognises the two middle ones - musculo-skeletal, urogenital. And for the other two, even the word disappears, so you just have blank, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, blank. It does, however, manage to 'see' the commas.
I hope someone can help, because it doesn't make any kind of sense to me, and I'm at my wits end.

Not enough memory on adobe acrobat 9 for web page capture

I use adobe acrobat 9 pro for creating a pdf with web page capture function.
After a while (about more of 500 pages) the free ram became insufisant and the program stop.
I am running on windows 7 with 4 Go ram.
When i take a look on memory utilisation i see that adobe use more of 1.7 Go ram .
During capture the ram is always increasing , i didnt see disk saving .
Who has a idea ?

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
Regards, Grant.

Is there a network version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Is there a network version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9? If not, are their volume licenses available?
What additional adobe products need to be purchased in order to run Adobe Acrobat 9 on a network?
Is there a licensing system that allows, for example, 4 licenses to be purchased that allows any user on the network to use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 so long as only a maximum of 4 users are using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 at any one time.
Thanks

Graffiti's right, there is volume licensing available for most any Adobe product, where you get a single activation key for multiple systems and are able to administer your license via an easy web-based tool, plus you also get a price break on the order...
But you don't necessarily have to call Adobe Sales for pricing, as there are now online volume stores open in Europe, the UK, and North America, with no "signature" contracts to sign.
And oddly enough just for Acrobat, Adobe's got a volume special offer on now through most of April – buy 4, get 1 free.
Also wrote recently about this exact question - http://prodesigntools.com/products/adobe-volume-licensing-program.html
Hope this helps!

Adobe Acrobat - rename form field

I'm a newbie to Automator but it seems like this should work. I need to automate the renaming of lots and lots of fields in a form. I started a workflow that opens the PDF. Then I used the "Record" button in Automator to watch me click on the Form menu bar item in Acrobat and select "Edit Form in Acrobat". I ran the workflow up to this point and it works fine. Then I use the "Record" button again and it watches me select a field in the form by clicking it. Again no problems. Finally I attempt to use the "Record" button to rename the field. It breaks every time. I try "Control Clicking" the field and selecting "Properties" from the contextual menu. Then renaming the field and clicking the close button. It breaks. I try selecting the Field and then clicking the Form menu bar item and selecting "Show Field Properties", renaming the field and clicking the close button. It breaks. I try double clicking the Field, which causes the Properties window to open, renaming the Field and clicking the close button. It breaks. What gives? If I can do this manually it seems like the Record functionality in Automator ought to be able to do it???? I'm running Snow Leopard and using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on a MacBook.

OK it appears that selecting the field is what breaks the automation. If I set up the automation to click on the field or drag to select it the automation breaks. If I let the automation run and then move the mouse, the field that I selected in the automation gets dragged around the page. It's like I clicked on the field and held the button down so I could drag it. Same thing happens if I double click the field. Strange....
