AA9.0 Pro - Reset ddl on file open?

I have some old documents with a handy little toolbar at the top, part of which is a drop-down list of document sections. The user can choose a section from the ddl and click a button either to print the section or go to it.
In my old version of Acrobat, I could make this ddl reset to the default value when the user opens the PDF. (Very simply, it was in Documents> Set Page Action, where I could add a "reset form" action to Page Open.) This reset is necessary. I don't want the nav bar to contain the user's last selection when the document re-opens, I want the default text.
I cannot figure out how to accomplish this in 9.0. I can't seem to find any way to tie an action to a file-open or page-open event. The closest thing I can find in the Help file is about the Actions tab on the form field itself, which can't do the job I'm looking for.
Is there something simple I'm overlooking?

> (Very simply, it was in Documents> Set Page Action, where I could add a "reset form" action to Page Open.)
This was a very old version of Adobe Acrobat.
Use following in the actual version:
View > Navigation Panels > Pages
Select the page and open the Page Properties. Then activate the tab Actions.

  • I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro why do some files open automatically and other do not.

    when I save a file as a pdf. and go to the folder the file only opens if I select it. When I download a file as a pdf it opens automatically in the same folder. How do I get all files to open automatically.

    The options on the save are typically either in the printer properties (if printing to the Adobe PDF printer) or in the Acrobat preferences if using PDF Maker in such programs as WORD. The button is included to allow opening on creation. If it is opening on download, that is typically based on how your browser is set up to call software for the file types being downloaded.

  • Can't open Logic Pro 8 (or earlier) files

    I just installed Logic Pro 9 and if I double click on one of my Logic Pro 8 composition projects, it launches Logic Pro 9 but doesn't open the file. Has anyone else had this problem?
    (I can open the projects up by launching Logic Pro 9 and selecting File > Open but always found it much quicker and more intuitive to do it the other way.)
    Even if I save a piece as a Logic Pro 9 project, double-clicking on the file won't open it... Any ideas?

    I found a strange thing:
    Logic is closed. In Finder double click on logic project file. Logic opens. The project does not appear.
    Choose File > New...
    Immediately close the New window.
    The original file you wanted to open now begins to open in Logic.

  • Raw files open with adjustments..

    Hello!
    I am having trouble with RAW files in Lightroom, and also camera RAW.
    When I import a RAW file into Lightroom (i have the current version, 3.5) Lightroom adds adjustments to the file, for example in the basic section of the develop module exposure will be set to 0.25, recovery will be at 100, contrast 54 etc...
    I have tried shooting on different cameras and I do not have the problem. I have put the same RAW files into another computer with Lightroom and it works fine. Just seems to be a wierd combination of my camera and my computer.
    Everything was working fine, and I recently purchased a new camera, and still everything was fine. Then one day it started adding adjustments to the RAW image automatically. And the same when I open a file in camera RAW..
    Any recomendations on what to do/how to solve the issue??!
    Thanks!!

    In LR Develop module go to Develop tab>Set Default Settings...>click Restore Default Adobe Settings. This will put you back to square one in LR
    In ACR at the right end of the Basic panel header is a little triangle. Click on this and at the bottom of the dropdown list click on "Reset Camera Raw Defaults".
    Rich
    P.S. In each case you will need to open a file from the camera giving you the problem then reset with the file open. This goes for both LR and ACR.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
    Matt

  • I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

    You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
    This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
    Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

  • Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) crashes when file opens (Windows 7 x64 Pro)

    Did a recent install of Windows 7 x64 Pro and installed Adobe Web Suite and updated all adobe programs. When I use photoshop to open a file, the file opens then photoshop hangs and windows says it has stopped responding then closes. This is a fresh install of windows...
    I used drivermax to backup drivers from a previous install and install those drivers on the new install. After that I installed the newest graphics drivers via nvidia's website.
    I installed all updates for the suite then I cleared my preferences, none of this worked.
    Please let me know where I can find the crash log and any other logs so I can post that info here.
    Message was edited by: Angryp00nani - added things I have tried to solve the issue

    I would do exactly as Curt suggests, and check out Event Viewer. This ARTICLE goes into more detail about what to look for. Be sure to follow every link, in every warning, or error message. Do not get frustrated with warning and error messages, that are 100% code - just look for one written in words that you can understand, and especially with any, that have links.
    Good luck,

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • Acrobat Pro X: File Open closes down program

    Just installed my licensed copy of Acrobat Pro X on Windows 7-  64 BIT with lots of RAM & a great processor; I am a retired computer science teacher so am no novice. When I try to open any local  a PDF on my hard drive by navigating within Acrobat Pro X: "Choose File > Open" the Acrobat program immediately just closes down every time (no messages, no warning, nothing). Yet the program is working fine when I open any PDF from OUTSIDE the program say an email or Windows Explorer. Same program closing occurs when I try to open a local PDF using the Splash Screen. Everything also works fine when I open a recent document from the Splash Screen..It's only the "OPEN" button both on the File Menu and the Splash Screen that "crashes" Acrobat Pro X....so peculiar & annoying...This is most disconcerting and I cannot find this problem for anyone else searching on Google. Can anyone get tot he bottom of this and help please?

    You are not the only one this happens to. I hope we can get an answer soon!

  • I have recently changed from a macbook to macbook pro and all my files were saved on time machine but some won't open. It says I need permission.. How do I open them?

    I have recently changed from a macbook to macbook pro and all my files were saved on time machine but some won't open. How do I open them?

    Are you trying to open the backup files via the Finder or an application?  If so, that's not how you should access your backups -- use the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    How did you get your stuff on the new Mac? 
    It sounds like you may have skipped the offer to transfer it when your Mac first started up, created a user account, then used the Migration Assistant app instead.  If so, that may be the problem;  doing it that way means you end up with an extra user account, and can lose permission to files on other volumes, especially backups.
    Please clarify just what you're seeing, and whether you still have the old Mac.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 on 15" Macbook Pro (File opening/Application Frame problem)

    I have seemed to narrow the problem to my preferences file but cannot figure out why.
    I installed a clean, fresh version on my Mac. (No previous versions were ever installed).
    When I open Photoshop for the first time, everything runs fine: I can open files and edit as usual.
    As soon as I close it and re-open many things happen:
    a) I can go to open a file, but with Window>Application Frame unchecked, I cannot see the open file.
    b) All other palletes go awry. I cannot change the open palletes and or edit anything.
    c) If I check Window>Application Frame, everything is back to normal. No problems here.
    So, what is going on? Anyone else having this problem?

    I get this same issue with PS CS5.1 a recently purchased 15" Macbook Pro
    In PS5.1 use File/Open to open an image file but image doesn't appear (histogram and other properies dialogs show the right info, though),
    switching to Application Frame mode makes the photo appear,
    trying to switch back out of App Frame mode locks PS5 up (ie nothing displays & have to Quit and restart via the Dock icon).
    For me this issue only happens when my secondary display in NOT connected. If the 2nd display is hooked up everything shows up normally. Doesn't seem to matter about the power profile (ie running on battery or not) and not affected by various background apps, devices hooked up (eg backup drive, USB mouse. All Mac & CS5.5 software updates have been applied to date.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • SoundTrack Pro 2.0.2 Beachballs on File/Open

    I've recently upgraded a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio HD from OS X 10.5 to 10.6.
    All the software updates are installed and Final Cut Studio has been reinstalled. The only application still giving problems is SoundTrack Pro. It loads fine, but hit file/open and it just beachballs and stops responding. It's the same for a new user account or the existing users. Prefs file has been trashed, and there's no 3rd party plugins that I can find installed in the Library folders.
    Any suggestions?

    I was a bit confused by your opening post. In the title you said it freezes and in the body you said it crashed, which is different. If it was a crash (i.e. the program exits suddenly) then that makes things easier because there will be an error message. Go to /Applications/Utilities/Console to view the message.
    I wonder if your issue is the same one I had when I first installed Logic:
