Accesibility/tagging changes/fixes in Acrobat Pro 9?

Hello all--
I'm a Acrobat 8 user wondering if I want to update to Acrobat Pro 9. The only reason I would want to do so is if there are improvements or fixes in the tagging/accessibility features in Acrobat 9 vs. 8.
Does anyone out there who uses tagging and who has gotten Acrobat 9 have any experiences they could share?

If your inside a PDF document first click on Touch up tool then mouse over item to change the choose properties. Then click on fonts and choose desired font.
If you want to change fonts used to create fonts:

Adding alt text tags in InDesign (and Acrobat Pro)

I am having real difficulty adding alternative text tags. I created an INDD doc with rollover buttons linked to URLs firstly in InDesign CS4. I couldn't add alt text tags in CS4 so I then tried to add them in Acrobat X Pro but failed. Acrobat keeps wanting to class the PDF as a form. I then installed InDesign CS6 from the cloud and added alt text to the rollover buttons via object export options. However, these do not show when I export to PDF.
Can someone help me add alt text to my rollover buttons in my interactive PDF either in InDesign CS6 or in Acrobat Pro after I export it?

In InDesign CS6, you just need to add descriptions to buttons. This is done in the buttons and forms panel:
This is the alt text in Acrobat when you roll over the button:
Hope that helps!

Change order in Acrobat Pro XI pdf portfolio

I can't seem to change the order of my portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. My portfolio layout is Click-Through. When I drag an item on the mini-navigator bar at the bottom and move to a new spot and let go when I have the vertical insertion line, the item doesn't move and bounces back to original spot. Can anyone help me, please!

I'm having the same issue. Once files are in the portfolio, Acrobat XI will not allow me to click and drag them to a different order. I despise Acrobat XI.

PDF Portfolio Cover - how to change this in Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi all,
in Windows folders PDF Portfolio files are displayed as follows:
1. Using common PDF icons (bad, because we cannot distinguish PDF from PDF Portfolio), or
2. If the folder allows larger pictures, then we see the standards Porfolio cover showing a "book",
the note about the needed version and a download button.
Question: is there a way to replace the standard PDF Portfolio cover (and symbol) by an user defined one?
Such information like needed version and the download button aren't useful for people which
already use correct versions. Notes like these should only appear on computer which cannot
corretly display the respective files.
For a meningfull overview I would like to display own contents. Is this possible?
Best Regards, Michael

Ignore the previous posts.
The thing you're looking at is called the Cover Sheet - it's the page that users will see if their software cannot support Portfolios (or on Windows Explorer thumbnails), and is NOT part of the Portfolio navigator. In fact, the Cover Sheet is the "parent" to the entire document, and is nothing more than a one-page PDF file.
To view the Cover Sheet in Acrobat, choose View -> Portfolio -> Cover Sheet
You cannot delete it (as it's the only page in your document!) but you can edit it. For example, you could create your own design, and use the page thumbnails right-click "replace page" tool to swap in your new page. Be careful about the web link though, it needs to stay there to help your non-Adobe recipients.
If you want to change every Cover Sheet on every Portfolio you make, replace the default "coversheet.pdf" file within the Acrobat install (there will be a series of them in subfolders, one for each installed language):
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\DocSettings\CombineFiles
We do it all the time to add company branding to Portfolios created in enterprise installs.

Tagging a PDF in Acrobat Pro messes up word spacing

We have an issue.
1. A document in Ventura is published as a PDF.
2. If you search on a particular phrase in the document, it finds ALL occurences of the phrase without issue
3. As soon as you "Add tags" to the PDF two things happen:
1. If you copy and paste a phrase directly from the PDF to a editor, all of the words run together with no spaces separating the words
2. If you try the search again, it finds ONLY the phrases that still maintain a proper space between words
NOTE: It isn't happening with ALL text...and when you view the text in Reader or Acrobat, the space APPEARS to be there but if you select the phrase, the cursor jumps over the space as if it's not there as a real "space".

This just started happening to me today. Did you ever get this solved?

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.

Doc Signing disabled in adobe reader but enabled in Acrobat Pro X1

Hello there,
I have used Acrobat Pro X1 Trial to create a PDF document with a Signature field. When I view the Properties and Security of the doc I can see that Signing - Is Allowed.
When I open the same document in Adobe Reader X the document security properties allow form fill & printing but not signing.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-with-adobe-reader/
This tutorial shows how to change settings using Acrobat Pro 10. The same File Save As options are not available in X1. Am I missing something in Acrobat Pro X1?
Your help would be very much appreaciated!!
Thanks in advance

Hi Tim,
There are a couple of things at play here.
First, adding a digital signature is always allowed in Acrobat, but only allowed in Reader if the PDF file has been Reader enabled for signing. To use Acrobat XI to Reader Enable a PDF file for signing you would:
Select the File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools menu item
Click the Save Now button on the Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader dialog
Select a file name and location, and then click the Save button on the Save As dialog
That would allow the file to be signed when opened in Reader.
However, I did mention that there are two items of consideration. If you are using a Pre-release (beta) version of Acrobat then signing will not work in a release version of Acrobat or Reader. When you said you are using a "trial" version I just want to make sure you mean the released version of Acrobat XI being run under the trial license where you don't have a serial number as opposed to a beta version that made available prior to the release date.

When creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro it seems to change my reference numbering system???

I am trying to create a PDF file using Acrobat Pro trial version (before I buy it I need to know if it works for me). The file I am using is a condensed version of a report so it has some of the tables/figures omitted and therefore the numbering sequence isn't sequential ie. it can jump from Figure 9-2 to 9-4. For some reason - when creating the PDF - the program is CHANGING the numbering system of the original file in the body of the document - but the Table of Contents keeps it how I had it. HELP??!!! How do I make it just create the PDF exactly how it is in the Word document file without automatically making any changes like that to it?!
I have tried several ways to create the PDF - in Word - I tried doing it as a Print command, also in Word I tried doing it from there, also I tried creating it from a file right in Acrobat Pro. I also tried "protecting" the document first - but this didn't work either.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Acrobat Pro 9 - Chose Greyscale in print properties, but it is not changing it to greyscale

Acrobat Pro 9 - Chose Greyscale in print properties, but it is not changing it to greyscale. I tried to go through all the settings, but I cannot figure it out. I am printing a color PDF document to a greyscale document.
Not sure if I am in the correct community group.

thank you for this post. It still works and is a required "fix" as of Oct 2010.
Somehow, in my network adapters, a wireless adapter called Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was there (this may have something to do with the virtualization abilities of Windows 7). Anyway, I disabled that by going to
Network and Sharing Centre -
Change Adapter Settings, and then
right clicking on it and
choosing disabled.
Next thing I knew Adobe Updater was checking away merrily.

Permanently change Acrobat Pro 9 to only save as Acrobat 5

(Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows XP, etc.)
I add to and edit the client's .PDFs with my own material. At present, his internal software only works with .PDFs that are fully compatible and saved with Acrobat 5.
I am aware of the ways in Acrobat 9 Pro to save .PDFs for Acrobat 5 (reduce .PDF size with compatibility for Acrobat 5, etc).
Question: Is there a way to permanently modify Acrobat Pro 9.0, so that it always saves (just with the saving button) in the Acrobat 5 format without having to change any options, etc?
Thanx for your help.

Thanks for the info and help, Bill. Was afraid of that.
Who needs Acrobat Pro just to create a .PDF from a Word or other file? I use it to edit and save within the .PDF file many times a day. That's why it's annoying to go through several steps that should be able to be taken care of in just one.
Maybe somebody has another idea?
If not, Adobe might want to think about a fix for Acrobat 9.0.1, since a lot of us free lancerss (for a company which is a leader in its field) will be sticking with Acrobat 6.0.6 till doomsday.
Suggestion to Adobe Co.: Don't always reset the compatibility feature in the "Save As" option after a save, or after the option has been set give it the possibility to be a standard (like with the comments).

"Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."

No doubt this is the wrong forum for this question, but there really does not appear to be "the" appropriate forum.
Every time I open Adobe Acrobat Pro, which I just installed, as well as other Adobe products, such as Photoshop, which I've used for a while, a dialog appears with the message, "Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I searched in the forums here and saw that other users have had similar problems, but didn't find a solution. It obviously is annoying to have to enter my password every time I open Adobe products. Could someone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it?
My OS is Mac Lion.
Thank you.

Do you have Acrobat 9?
If yes, please try following steps:
1. Repair your current Acrobat installation
a. Launch Acrobat
b. Go to Help->Repair Acrobat Installation
c. Check all the components and press Continue
Missing components will be repaired
2. Now, update your Acrobat.
Go to Help->Check for updates
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e. 952
3. Again , Launch Acrobat. Acrobat would ask credentials for the first time.
4. Quit Acrobat and launch Acorbat again. Acrobat should not ask for credentials now and for all subsequent launches . Please reply if you see a different behavior.

"Adobe Acrobat Pro wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"

… that’s the dialogue window I get every time I launch Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 (on Mac OS 10.9.4), or double-click on a .pdf file to open it.
Acrobat Pro opens and works OK once I’ve typed in my password, but I really don’t think I should need to type my password every time I want to use Acrobat - how can I fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Thomas,
This screen is asking for your Computer Password to make the necessary changes. It's Mac mechanism to authenticate whether you are the Admin user or not.
Try deleting the user caches and that should fix the issue : http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/08/delete-user-caches-in-mac-os-x/

Adobe Acrobat Pro wants to make changes.

Since a while I use now OS X 10.9 and every time when I open Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, the dialoge comes up "Adobe Acrobat Pro wants to make changes . Type your password to allow this. I use the other products as well like Dreamweaver and Photoshop of the CS4 package but don't have any issues there.

Sabian, I looked at the suggested link, but don't have experience with OS X to know really how to do this. Since it seems to be the self healing feature, I tried the following and it worked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found a fix, but it may not be a smart thing... Thoughts are appreciated as I'm not terribly saavy with OS X. I read that this may have something to do with the self heal feature and there were a few posts that talked about editing a SHInit.xml file. What if I just renamed that file? If it broke something, I could always rename it back – or uninstall/reinstall as a last resort.
I right-clicked on the Adobe Acrobat Pro.app and selected "Show Package Contents." In the Contents folder is the MacOS folder and in MacOS is the SHInit.xml file. I copied the file to my desktop and then renamed the file in the MacOS folder to something obvious: ##SHInit.xml.
Now, when I run Adobe Acrobat Pro.app, it loads without requiring a password.
If anyone has any burning reasons as to why and how this is dangerous, I'd be interested in hearing your feedback.
Thanks!
