Acrobat 7 Pro - Comment Summary Font Issue

We have a situation involving font usage in comments in Acrobat 7 Pro that I hope someone can shed some light on. It will be some time before we can move to version 8 or 9, so the problem is important to us.
Here's the symptom, then I have a few basic background questions. The text in a Note comment includes a 'less than or equal to' symbol which appears correctly. The problem comes when the comments are summarized to a PDF file or printed. The 'equal to' portion has now disappeared! I first thought that this might be a font issue, but now am unsure.
My basic questions are:
What font is Acrobat using when a comment is created? I realize that you can set a preference for which font to use when viewing comments, but apparently not when creating them?
When a comment summary is created to a PDF file, what determines which font is used in the summary? We have seen cases where the resulting PDF has used Arial or Tahoma or SimSun or.........
We have had at least one situation where opening the same Acrobat 7 PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro did not exhibit the problem when summarized there. Was this a known issue that was repaired in Acrobat 8?
Thanks much for any information you can provide.

Hi David,
This is a known issue with Acrobat on Mac.
Please follow the steps mentioned in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html

  • Excel 2007 to Acrobat 9 Pro cell fill / font issue

    When attempting to convert a workbook from Excel 2007 to a pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro, the cell font color prints slightly lighter than the cell fill color, even when the colors are the same - amber, green or red.  Never had an issue previously until now.  Not visible within the file, only when printing.  Any insight or suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

    Thanks for your reply Bill@VT.  I am converting using the Acrobat addin in Excel.  I read your e-mail and played with some of the Excel sheets.  The problem seems to arise when I am converting a landscape page that has been reduced to fit on one page whether by percentage or by fit to x pages by x pages.  I have tried various settings and in print preview they all look just fine but once I click the convert but the page size grows.  I am wondering if this is not an Acrobat problem but rather an Excel problem.

  • I can't create PDFs from CS3 programs in Acrobat Pro XI. Compatibility issue or just Acrobat?

    I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI this morning. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator don't seem to be supported file types for creating a PDF from Acrobat.  While I usually create my PDFs from the authoring program, I occasionally need to make a lot of PDFs of different files at once, and making them from Acrobat makes sense instead of opening each individual file.
    Is this just a compatibility issue? We have requested upgrades to CS6, but it will be a while before it gets approved (if it gets approved).  Did someone think it was a brilliant idea not to allow PDFs from the CS products to be created from Acrobat instead of the authoring program?

    Can you describe your workflow a little more? Are you saying that you created PDFs of InDesign documents using Acrobat directly -- not using InDesign?
    If that was possible in CS3, I must have missed it.
    FWIW, I can't select CS6 InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop documents in Acrobat X. You can only select a handful of image formats, HTML or PostScript/EPS.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X and Mac issues

    I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Lion and when I go to scan from PDF, my HP Deskjet 3052 A scanner isn't showing up in the drop down menu.  I also have Acrobat Pro X for Windows on my machine (VMWare) and it works fine, but it won't work with the Mac version.  I have called Adobe and HP and neither have been able to help me.  I bought this program with this feature in mind, and I am sick of having to toggle back to Windows to scan, as it eats up a lot of my processing power.  I have downloaded the SANE and TWAIN drivers (or so I thought I did) with no luck.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Adobe acrobat pro extended 9 language issues

    Hi!
    Is there any conflicts/obstacles that may arise using an English version of this software for documents or purposes in other languages or does it support other languages?
    If not, is there any way that I can convert an English language version of Adobe Acrobat Pro extended 9 to Swedish language?
    The reason I ask is that I'm considering buying a used copy of Acrobat pro extended 9, but before doing so I need to know if I would be better off buying a dedicated Swedish version of this software.
    Thanks in advance
    Anders

    Thanks AbhigyanModi!
    What I would like to do with acrobat pro extended 9 is for instance to convert a two-column glossary into Excel keeping the table format. Not sure if using English version will affect the text in the Swedish translation column or not. I've used Acrobat (Swedish version) to a minor extent at work so I'm familiar with some of its benefits, such as the "Copy as table" function.
    I think ibuying this software straight from retail is quite pricey for my needs and that's why I considered buying a used English version of Acrobat Pro extended. But I'm not sure it's worth buying an English version if it will limit the useability for my needs.
    Cheers!

  • Acrobat Pro 9.4.7 issue

    Acrobat problem: Am creating a 6 layer document w/ multiple 'hotspots' per layer. Many of the hotspots are in the same location on the previous layers. When I add more data I keep activating spots on subsequent layers. This is making it impossible to build. How do I 'deactivate' all other layers layers so I can continue? This is becomming spagetti.
    Help.
    Thank You

    I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry.  :-)
    Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
    Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.

  • Acrobat Pro XI Serial Number Issues

    I just bought and downloaded Acrobat Pro XI.  However, when I try to launch the product I get an error that says "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".   What the heck is this and how do I fix this?  Of course, you can't actually get in touch with Adobe to get this resolved.  This has been the most frustrating and idiotic download I have ever encountered. 

    The messaging is indicating that you purchased an upgrade version of Acrobat and it is trying to find the earlier version that qualifies you to install and activate the upgrade.  You should have the option of entering the serial number for the previous version instead of actually having it installed.
    You should be able to tell if you purchased an upgrade based on the price you paid... check the product page.  If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade version then you should get that resolved thru Adobe Support directly by chat or phone.

  • Acrobat Pro XI File Save Issues

    Each time I attempt to create a PDF from within Word 2003 using the Acrobat Pro XI toolbar icon, Acrobat asks me to name the file (something I'm used to), and then after going through some "printing," it asks me for a"Save As" file name (inserting an Acrxxxx, for instance: Acr74C4). If I keep clicking OK, the program eventually generates the correctly named PDF file. At times, I'm asked to "Save As" more than once.
    I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit, and Office 2003. (All of my software and drivers are up-to-date.)

  • Shared Review: Acrobat Pro 9; Reader 8 issues

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with the Shared Review features on Acrobat 9 Pro, and we've run into some slightly odd behaivour.
    I created a PDF file, sent it for a shared review, and waited for the comments.
    All three reviewers started with Reader 8, received the link, and opened the file easily enough. They each received a warning telling them that they needed Reader 9 or higher to comment on the document, but the document then opened, displayed the commenting tools and the "Publish Comment/Check for new comments" buttons.
    Naturally enough, they all began commenting away anyway, assuming that it would probably be OK, and all published their comments to the server.
    I went online to check for new comments, and found none.
    We went round and upgraded to Reader 9, assuming that that was the issue. Once the upgrade had installed, they opened their previous PDF files (with quite a few comments on) and connected to the server.
    At this point, all their previous comments were deleted, rather than being transferred to the server! This is really quite worrying - surely if this behaviour will occur (all comments deleted on upgrade), then a user should not be allowed to comment at all before upgrading. Is there a workaround? Are the comments still found on the old copy of the document, and are merely just hidden?
    I'd certainly be worried that, were I to send out a document for review to a group of less technically-minded reviewers, we could easily end up with a situation where we'd lose days of work due to them assuming that they could get away with this old version, as all the buttons seemed to be there.
    Anyone else had this problem, or suggestions of ways to work around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    It was on Acrobat.com, so we did know that the reviewers needed Acrobat 9.x - but they were lulled into a false sense of security that it might just work anyway, since the commenting tools and so on appeared.
    Basically the process went:
    Reviewer click on link, signs into Acrobat.com and downloads a copy of the file to their local drive.
    Reviewer opens the local copy of the file, and is warned that they need Reader 9.x, but decide to give it a go regardless.
    Reviewer makes comments on the pdf, hits "Publish Comments", and nothing much happens - I check on the file, and no comments have been transferred to the server.
    At this point we decide to upgrade to Reader 9, so the reviewer saves and closes the local version of the file, and downloads & installs Reader 9.3.
    We open up the local copy of the file (that previously had the comments on) and, when prompted, sign into Acrobat.com.
    We check through the document, looking at the comments - any comments that had been made by other reviewers that were already on the server file are present, but all of the comments that had been made on the local file were deleted, and there appeared to be no way of recovering them.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Acrobat Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

    Hello!  Hope everyone is having a great day!
    I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer.  It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up. 
    I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
    Any ideas would be helpful.  My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so!  Cheers.
    Jeremy

    If you have X.5.8.  look here:
    I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
    In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
    As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as  the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

  • Comment Summary font size

    Is there a way to increase the largest font size for Comment Summaries? Small is unreadable. Medium is almost unreadable. Large is too small to read easily.
    Our workflow depends on transferring changes from Acrobat document to InDesign document. Without two displays, the user needs to print the Comments and work from that hard copy. But the size of the Large font size in Comment Summaries is still way too small to work from easily.

    You can't; this is set when the form is created.
    But you may use the Zoom function to enlarge the entire document.

  • Acrobat Pro 6.0 install issues

    I had to reinstall CS1 over the weekend all went well except Acrobat. It acts as though it's installing OK and then finishes. However - it doesn't show up on the Start>Programs menu and when I go directly to the directory where it installed and go to start it I get the following message:
    No Valid Acrobat serial number found. Acrobat will now quit.
    Can I just go to the registry and manually enter the CS S/N? if so what registry directory would it go into? Are there any other solutions?

    Even if you succeed in installing the package, you would have to deal with a lot of workaround to get it to function. The print driver and AcroTray are two parts of the package that will fail. It is time to purchase a new version. AA6 is too old for an upgrade.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Print Comment Summary Issues

    I have acrobat pro 9 and am not able to print a comments summary.  When I click "Print Comment Summary" I am not redirected to the "Print" window as tutorials explain should happen.  The "Summarize Options" window just closes and nothing else happens.  Is there something I can change to make this work.  Thanks for your help!

    Sorry about that the subversion is 9.4.0 and I am running xp.  It is adobe acrobat pro, should I move this question to a different forum?

  • Font issues on Adobe Acrobat Pro

    I am running OS X 10.9.4 (mavericks) on my iMac and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on this computer. The font we use is an older font that doesn't come pre-installed on Mac's anymore (Blair Md medium ITC-TT). I downloaded and installed the font to font books, and it seems to work okay on Word but doesn't work on Adobe Acrobat. When I convert word documents to PDF, the font changes and there is no way for me to change it back.
    How can I fix this problem? Thanks!
