Acrobat 6 "Save As" settings weirdness

Hi -
I'm trying to save/export a PDF as either a Word or, basically, any sort of text document. I'm getting an error message saying:
"This document is not a tagged PDF. Please set your Save As preferences to generate tags for untagged documents."
When I go to the "Settings" button next to the "Save As (format)" drop-down menu, "Generate tags for untagged files" *IS* selected.
...which is fine, I guess, since if I change any of the settings I can't save them. The "OK" button is highlighted but neither clicking on it nor pressing "Return" has any effect - all I can do is hit "Cancel", which rather seems to defeat the whole purpose! (This happens whether I change one of the options or not - "OK" simply doesn't function.)
So, basically, Acrobat apparently can't SEE that the "Generate Tags" setting is selected AND, if it wasn't set, wouldn't allow me to change it anyway!
The document was originally created in InDesign CS (v. 3.0.1), exported as a PDF, then opened in Acrobat Professional (v.6.0.6), running under OS X (v. 10.4.11).
Since it's just a small brochure, I'll probably end up selecting the various chunks of text manually and doing a C-n-P into a Word doc, but it would be nice to figure out what's actually going on and fixing it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyone out there who can offer some insight into this?

  • How can I get Acrobat to save my recent print settings?

    Hi there,
    Setup:
    Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Acrobat X 10.1.2
    Having recently upgraded to the most recent Acrobat pro I seem unable to save my most recent print settings. Previosuly, when I setup a page to be, for example, A2 landscape with some specific printer settings, it would then present these same settings when I went to print the same document or another open document. Now, in 10, I can setup the page settings and print settings, print a document, and then when I try and print again it has defaulted to the default page setup (A4 portrait) and default print settings.
    This is SO infuriating that I am hoping it is a bug (fixable?) and not just a massive failure of the software.
    Thanks for any advice/help.

    I'm not sure (since I always print to the same size), but try this:
    Click the Page Setup button at the bottom of the dialog. Ignore the warning screen. Set up the Page Setup in Mac OS X the way you like. At the top, choose Settings and select Save as Default. Then click OK.
    Click the Printer button at the bottom of the dialog. Ignore the warning screen. Set up the Print settings in the way you like using the popup menu which initially shows Layout. Then choose Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset. Then click OK.

  • Watermark source file won't save in settings

    I have successfully created several watermark images that have source files (both in PDF format and JPG format). But there is one that I cannot get to save. I have tried the image in both JPG and PDF formats, but for whatever reason, when I try to save the settings, the source file is not saved and it just comes up as blank text when I select it for use. I have tried over and over again to save this watermark.
    As a result, whenever I want to apply this particular watermark, I have to go and browse for and find the file time and time again.
    ?? Any clue as to why this one won't save? Is there a maximum number of watermarks that can be saved?

    You can look at the place where the settings are saved.
    For Acrobat 8 and MS Vista the place is:
    X:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Preferences\Watermark

  • How to save scanner settings?

    Hi,
    My Acrobat Pro 11.0.06 does not save scanner settings. So every time I scan, I have to select the scanner from the dropdown list and change the settings (scan front page or double sided, paper size, etc). Appreciate any help on what I should do to solve this.
    In case that's useful, my scanner is a HP Photosmart.
    I also use Acrobat at work, and it saves the last scanner setting automatically.
    Many thanks!
    Don

    Hi,
    also note that the column hide/show state is saved on the af:column not the panelCollection. The panel collection calls the RichColumn API to change the visible state

  • How can I save the settings of my iPhone 4 before resetting the phone in addition to saving the apps etc. by synchronisation with i-tunes

    How can I save the settings of my iPhone 4 before resetting the phone in addition to saving the apps etc. by synchronisation with i-tunes

    All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted.  Do you actually mean Restore the phone?  See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

  • Firefox doesn't save the settings

    As the question might say this version of Firefox (5.0.1) doesn't save the settings u do to it...For example my problem is with the toolbar and the buttons i add to it...i have tried to customize it as i previously had it in the earlier versions of firefox but it doesn't save them...i need to customize them from the beginning whenever i close and open firefox...even when it updates the add-on's and restarts it still needs to be customized...i have also checked many forums and apparently i am not the one having the same problem...some also can't save the bookmarks but that is not my case...i have recently downloaded a Premuimplay Codec-c add on and also a Facemoods and maybe ththose interfere with firefox even though i doubt it
    The addon's that i definitely wanna keep on the toolbar are IMTranslator,WOT,Read It Later,Save-To-Read,ADBlock Plus and also the Home button never stays in the place i move him when i customize the toolbar
    Regards
    Albi
    PS:(some add-ons don't work with firefox 5.0.1 but i guess thats the developers problems right?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Can you save print settings with a PDF?

    I have an 8.5"x14" PDF. Is there anyway to save default print settings with this PDF so if a user opens it on their machine it defaults to printing to 8.5"x14" paper? Right now it always defaults to the standard 8.5"x11". I'm not sure this can be done because it seems like more of a specific users machine thing. I don't think you can save print settings with a PDF can you?
    Thanks!

    The "auto-formatting" of a hardcopy print format is generally the realm of the output device, in this case the printer. Printer software gereally includes an auto-format feature that selects the proper bin. For those who only have a "letter" tray, it usually asks to feed the right format manually, or switch trays. This is not a PDF feature but an output device feature.
    Hope this helps.

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

  • How do I save title settings in FCPX?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find out how I can save title settings so that I don't have to redo everything each time I create a video.
    Specifially, I go into the Titles Browser and select "Gradient - Edge" which I then drag onto the timeline for my video. I then have to manually go into the Inspector to make the appropriate changes.
    I have a series of videos that will all use the same text and would like to know if there was any way to save my changes in "Gradient - Edge" and then simply drag it to my video each time I want to use it, all with the same text and modifications.
    I'm using Final Cut Pro X 10.0 on a 13" MacBook mid 2010 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4
    Many thanks.

    I can think of two ways to achieve this.
    1) Create an empty compound clip in the Event Browser, open it in the timeline, add the generators and titles you want, adjust everything to your liking.
    This will be there in the Event library to reuse over and over again.
    I do this often and I even have a specific event, which I called Templates (but, of course, could be called anything meaningful) for the purpose of keeping the stuff that I reuse often.
    2) Control-click on the title or generator, and choose "Open a copy in Motion".
    Then you can adjust everything in Motion and have a new title or generator (they can be both practically the same thing) rigged (pun intended!) just the way you like it, right there in the generator browser in FCP X.

  • Enable A Guest Account So We Could Save Restriction Settings

    How about a setting that will enable at boot up an option to log in main user (admin) or Guest account? And in the main user's restriction settings allow you to configure what apps the guest account can access. Then all you would have to do is set that 4 character password prompt for main user and allow guest to log in without a password. Then depending on your restriction settings you could make this thing a little bit more secure for families and multiple users. Any app purchases would still be under main user and need a password. I think this is doable. So say we all! ?

    I guess I don't see it as a personal device. Since it has the ability to replace what most users use a laptop for. iPhone's size was holding it back from being the netbook killer. Now we have the larger version the iPad. iPad's OS has already started of on it's own path from the iPhone OS. So why not just put some chrooted dummy guest account option in it. So the multiple user household can have some way to save restriction settings and protect the main account.
    My kids (5 and 3)are very good with my old G4 iBook and 1st Gen iPhone. Although there was that one time my son pulled all the keys off the iBook and the iPhone has been dropped like a hundred times on the hardwood but it still works.
    If iPad is going to be a wonderful tool to help educate my kids since I didn't have to show my kids how to work the iPhone. They just figured it out. I hope some good EDU apps come out soon.

  • Password input and save WiFi Settings

    Hi @all,
    I've got 2 Q's:
    #1: Is there another way to enter the WiFi password, other than with the remote? My WiFi pwd is 64 characters long including special chars. Hence, entering this pwd with the remote is a bit cumbersome.
    #2: how do I save different WiFi settings on AppleTV (second gen)? when I switch known networks, I've to re-enter the pwds. The iPhone or OS X saves those settings - how can I instruct AppleTV to do that?
    i tried to configure AppleTV using iTunes or AirPort Utility, but I could not connect to ATV...
    TIA,
    JC

    i guess the only time this would be needed is if you take the appletv to different locations on a regular basis.
    the reason for my 2 different networks: I connected all my devices to the first one and the other one is a MiFi hotspot w/ access to the internet. I don't have DSL, and for my browsing needs 3G is fast enough even for renting movies from iTunes. Although I could "merge" the 2 WiFi into one, I'd like to keep them separate; especially as the "work WiFi" has much longer password and I don't want to punch that into ATV using the remote
    Thanx @all for the help, I appreciate it! JC

    When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

  • Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

    When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
    I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
    If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

    I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
    Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
    Any other suggestions?

  • HT201304 Save restriction settings

    Is there a way to save restrictions settings so they dont reset every time I turn them off? Our children use our iPad so we enable the restrictions so they CAN'T buy and delete apps. Everytime I turn these off to use for myself they seem to reset and when turning back on I have to set all the settings again.

    I agree - let us set the restrictions once and then enable/disable as needed.  One easy example is that I restrict access to the App store along with installing or deleting applications for my son but when I want to add/delete an app, I disable restrictions and when done, I have to go in and reestablish ALL of the restricitions I want.

  • Is there a way to save Publish Settings?

    I had a machine crash. My data files and LRCAT are stored on a separate drive so after reloading all the software I just pointed to my current LRCat.  I found out that the publish settings are not stored in the catalog (seems like a smart place to keep them).
    Is there any way to save these settings?  Or other settings like import/export user settings and the like?
    Thanks

    Publish settings are stored in preferences (.agprefs file).
    Export presets are stored in .lrtemplate files.
    Both are in subfolders of Lightroom "app data" folder.
    Consider running Aux Backup for a complete list of all auxiliary Lr files (includes all critical data files except catalog and photos).
