Accessibility Full Check in Acrobat X Pro vs Acrobat XI Pro

My colleague and I just ran an Accessibility Full Check on a PDF document first using Acrobat X Pro, and then again on the exact same document using Acrobat XI Pro. The check using X found no problems, but the check using XI found numerous problems. Does anyone have any insight on this behavior? Is the accessibility checker on XI updated to be more sensitive than the checker in X? Thanks.

Yes, the accessibility checker in XI is much improved, but still insufficient for rigorous accessibility testing. PAC 1.3 (for WCAG 2.0) and PAC 2.0 (for PDF/UA) from the Swiss foundation Access for All (http://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-lab/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac/downloading-pac.html) are the best available PDF accessibility checkers, and both are free - although the good people at the foundation appreciate donations. Equally important in accessibility testing is knowledgeable human inspection. The Matterhorn Protocol (http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/MatterhornProtocol_1-02.pdf) provides 136 criteria for PDF/UA compliance, of which 47 require human judgment.

None of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

none of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

You can find and tag the unmarked annotations using the Tags pane - click the down arrow next to
the Options icon (near the top left of the pane), then Find > Unmarked Annotations. You will be given the option to tag the annotations - usually they are hyperlinks in which case use the link tag. Then you will need to create the proper tag stucture. Lots of information about that via google, for example the Adobe Acrobat X Professional: PDF Accessibility (Section 508 Tagging) Reference Guide (http://webtools.ca.gov/files/2010/07/acrobat_X_tagging-manual.docx)

HTML links from Full Check Accessibility report do not open the corresponding PDF links

I regularly generate full Check accessibility reports for the PDF user guides I create in MSWord. However, when I click the links in the HTML file/report generated, they are supposed to link/highlight the corresponding errors in the PDf file. Instead, I get an error message that "There was an error opening this document. Bad parameters."
How can I get the links to work so I know which section in my PDF has the error (inaccessible items).
Thanks

I understand you are creating HTML reports and then using them to find errors/view the PDFs.
Is this a new problem or have you always had problems with the links? If it's a new problem, what has changed on your system?
Can you view other PDFs in your browser?
Have you moved any of the files since you created the report -- as you may know the HTML report references a specific lcoation on your hard drive and if you moved the PDF after creating the report, it may not be able to find the file.

How to install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a Surface Pro 3?

I have downloaded it many times, but upon trying to install I receive notification that it cannot run on this device. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey matthewe16314199,
You might need to tell me whether you are running Windows 8 RT or Windows 8 pro on your Surface pro.
If it is a Microsoft Surface RT running Windows 8 RT - then you cannot install Acrobat
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/surface-with-windows-rt/specifications
Or if Microsoft Surface Pro running Windows 8 Pro (full version) - then only you can install.

Please check and then let me know.

Acrobat 10 Pro vs Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Fellow Forum Members,
Has Adobe dropped the Typewriter tool that Acrobat 9 had? Also Acrobat 9 Pro Extended had an app called Presenter. Has this also been dropped? Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
The biggest difference I see is in the file size between the two apps. Acrobat 10 is close to 460 MB while Acrobat 9 as I remember was close to 1 GB. Does this difference in filesize mean that Acrobat 10 is missing a lot of the features version 9 had? Evenmore, the GUI for Acrobat 10 looks very bare compared to version 9. Has Acrobat 10 gone through some reverse evolution ?
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
The headline differences are as follows...
Items omitted from Acrobat X which where in one or more editions of Acrobat 9:
1) Ability to import and transcode video/audio files other than MP3, Flash Video and H.264 (now handled by Adobe Media Encoder in Acrobat X Suite).
2) Ability to import and transcode 3D model files other than U3D and PRC (now handled by the Tetra4D Converter application, sold separately).
3) Ability to embed legacy rich media annotations (removed for security reasons - legacy media will play but cannot be created).
4) Ability to import and register geospatial images and maps (now handled by export tools within native GIS software).
5) Organizer and the History tree (users should use external fie management and browsing tools such as Adobe Bridge, etc).
6) Support for Highlight File Format (functionality is no longer available).
7) ADBC (users should convert to using XFA or SOAP).
8) Headless import of InDesign files (now handled by the Export utility in InDesign itself).
There are lots of tweaks under the surface to make the installer footprint smaller. Losing some of the above features make a big difference (geospatial and 3D support took a lot of space), and despite being smaller than Acrobat 9, Acrobat X includes many new features too - such as support for Office 2010, export to spreadsheet, intelligent scan and OCR, etc. It's certainly true that it's not possible to replicate the entire functionality of Pro Extended, but as many users only needed a fraction of the tools, splitting off the specialist stuff makes commercial sense too - Acrobat X Pro is significantly cheaper than Pro Extended, even if you factor in the cost of a couple of commercial plugins. For example many users who were using Pro Extended for video work also had a copy of Creative Suite, Vegas, etc., so they already had the ability to generate the correct video files - duplicating chunks of the conversion code in Pro Extended didn't make sense, and with full H.264 support in Acrobat X we can import files from most prosumer sources (camcorders, cellphones, etc) without any conversion at all.

Acrobat 9 (Pro) and Acrobat X(10) in the same machine?

Hi,
Is it possible to install both Acrobat 9 and X (10) in the same machine?
I have 32-bit XP machine as well as Acrobat 9 licensed version installed in it. I would like to know if I install Acrobat X (10)'s Trial version from the internet, what would happen to my licensed version 9?
Thanks in Advance!

Adobe does not support installation of two different copies of Acrobat on the same machine.

MOSS 2010 Shared Review Not Connecting For All Reviewers (Acrobat 9 and X (Std and Pro) and Reader9)

I am using SharePoint 2010 for Shared Review. Most of the testing has been successful with a few minor problems. The biggest has been that some are not getting the connection request. The document for review opens immediately either in the user's browser or Adobe Acrobat or Reader. We have not been able to nail down the reason yet. But, it has happened on systems running Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat X Pro. We have had success with others using Acrobat X Pro and Reader 9.
What I am most confused on is why some of our users are not getting the request to connect to the SharePoint workspace to do their review. If they go through Windows Explorer to where the file is located to open it directly, it asks the user to Check Out the file and then Save & Continue. If they do this, they seem to lose the ability to publish their comments directly to the server. They don't even get the options to check for new comments. The file is opened and they are able to work with it like a normal file.
What could we have done wrong that caused this? Each the users has the appropriate permissions to the SharePoint site. I have noticed in the tracker that the two that had the issues don't have their name or title appear. I checked both of them in the Identiy section of the Preferences and their name, title, organization and email are all missing. Only their UserID is shown. Could this be part of it? We were all using the same intranet wireless system. All users were able to open the review file. When someone receives the link for review through the email, does the link verify through the email address listed in the prefences?
Jason Lopez

Hello Vikas,
To answer your questions:
1. Do all reviewers have a local copy of the review file, or is it kept at a shared location and everyone is commenting on it.
- I have tried it both ways with the same results. Our preference is to keep the PDF in a shared location so that all reviewers can see each others' comments. (Since the problem began, we have lost that capability, and the "semi-workaround" is to email each reviewer the PDF, each reviewer makes comments locally, and emails it back to the writer. This is less than ideal as each review cannot see each other's comments... However, I was able to publish them "on behalf".
2. Are you only having trouble with publishing new comments or is it that you cannot see earlier added comments also.
Reviewers are unable to publish their newly-added comments as there is no Publish button/icon. If I have published another's comments on their behalf, they can see them. However, they cannot Reply - as the Reply button is disabled.
3. Are there some specific files with which you are having trouble or is it a generic problem.
It happens with all files, so it is generic. Anyone who has Reader 9 has no Publish button when opening a shared review generated from Acrobat 8.
Thanks for any help you can provide. We are hoping the problem resolves when we upgrade to Acrobat 9 but that alas will not be until sometime in the new year, hopefully.

Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended

Hello everyone,
I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install. The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.". How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended. I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro. How do I work around this issue?

Oops. I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first. I now have a new issue. Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check. It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro. My old version was part of the Creative suite 4. When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number. Why is this?

Acrobat Reader XI with Acrobat 8 Pro on one machine

I want to install Acrobat Reader XI on a machine that has Acrobat 8 Pro installed. I need the Acrobat 8 for my old version of AutoCad but I also need to use Acrobat Reader XI. Is it possible to have these two on one machine? Is there any special setup to make them compatible? Thanks

It would either be Acrobat or Reader, not Acrobat Reader (that went about after AA 5). Reader XI can be run with AA 8, but you may periodically have to tell it which to open a PDF with. Using both can mix up the OS as to which it should use. That is the main problem I am aware of. If you meant Acrobat XI, then there may be an issue with the print drivers. You may have to play some file name changes and such for Acrobat 8 before you install Acrobat XI if that is the case, but the name changes may cause other issues based on how you are using the software. If it is AA XI, I would check to be sure that this version is not compatible with your CAD before trying the 2 version route.

Accessing "full screen" display using flash_Snapfish slide show

cannot access "full screen" when playing slide show through Snapfish,(photos display 1/3 of screen), or find tool on Flash or Snapfish to correct (Windows 8-latest Flash & Explorer updates)thx !

Note that the proposed feature would be a great solution for the request posted by Olaf Ulrich on Dec 13, quoted below:
Please add a magnifier!
I use Adobe Bridge 1.0 for sorting, selecting, and keywording digital photos. It's nice to be able to change the user interface in several ways to accommodate to the task at hand ... but I am desperately missing a way to magnify an image quickly (usually to check a photo's sharpness). Currently I have to jump to Photoshop which is time-consuming, memory-consuming, and dramatically oversized for just taking a quick look-see at the photo's focus.

Problem with Table Access Full

Hi,
Please help me how to resolve the problem of table access full, when i am executing query i facing a problem with these. all though i have create index on these is queru but execution time taking too late.
Also please help if there any syntax to run faster execution.
Thanks in Advance
Sreenivas

Hi,
Please try to analyze your tables once with DBA's help.
If the above does not work, try to use hints which will force use the index created on the column.
Do not use any conversion functions on that column, in the where clause while checking any condition.
If you are storing numbers in a character column, try to have the conditional value as character value in where clause instead of number type.
Thanks and Regards,
Sridhar.

Should we upgrade from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

One of our team member who is in charge of creating the pdf form is leaving. Currently he is using Acrobat X Pro, and we are thinking to move forward with Acrobat XI Pro. Are there any features that avaialble in the Acrobat X Pro are no longer available in the Acrobat XI Pro? Are there any glaring things that we need to watch out before moving from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

Acrobat 11 has a number of new features that will appeal to people who work with forms. You can now turn off the automatic reordering of the tab order when fields are moved/added/edited, and you can select multiple fields at once when changing the tab order. I think it's worth the upgrade price for these features alone.
Note that LiveCycle Designer, which previously came with Acrobat Pro, is no longer included, and it is actually uninstalled from your system when you install Acrobat 11. You are supposed to be able to get a free update of Designer by submitting a form.
There are also a number of new keyboard shortcuts when in form editing mode that are helpful, including:
Form Editing keyboard accelerators
P
Toggle between editing & previewing form
L
Align selected fields left
B
Align selected fields bottom
R

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.
