Acrobat 8 and 9 PDF maker

Hello all,
We have noticed some differences between results from each version of PDF maker. I cant figure out if its just the way it should work or its something you can change in the wide range of settings
PDF maker Acrobat 8 (from a WORD file) : Most transparancies will come out ok, but still some will go wrong. Bookmarks will be included
PDF maker Acrobat 9 (from a WORD file) : Nearly all transparancies will come out good, but the big reason is that now almost all illustrations will be a single compressed image instead of a sharp vectored one. Also the bookmarks from (for example) the index will be lost in the PDF file.
So my biggest questions are:
Why in Acrobat 9 are images compressed and flattened instead of vectored?
Why wont the bookmarks be included?
We are quite experienced with the software here but up untill now we are not able to figure this out.
If anyone has some inside on this please share!
Regards,
Martijn

I had the slow scrolling problem, too. Just occurred out the blue on December 15, 2010. Here's the simplest solution:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d1b. w.html
This link deals with the auto scrolling function under "View" at the top of your Adobe Reader page. Basically, with your Adobe document open and watching "auto scrolling" (i.e. your pages scrolling very slowly), hit a number (1-9) to adjust the speed of scrolling. I picked 5.
Then, go to "View" again and select "Auto Scrolling" to turn off this function.
Now, re-open your Adobe Reader document (if closed) and you should be able to scroll at a "normal" and not slow pace.
Hope I'm right with this one.
Happy Holidays.

Word, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and PDF Maker

I am still using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and I also have Office 2010 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Is there a way to get PDF Maker to work in Office? Right now when I open Word for example the PDF tab does not appear anywhere. I tried running the repair feature in Acrobat but nothing has changed.
I believe Office needs to be installed first then Acrobat so PDF Maker can be installed. I did this intially when I had Office 2007 but then I unintalled it and installed Office 2010 and I'm guessing that is why things aren't working. Am I going to need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

Office 7 and PDF maker

My lovely IT department have upgraded my office to version 7 (Yuk). Anyway, the acrobar PDFmaker has now dissapeared as a function. I have downloaded the office plug in for saving and printing to PDF but it is different. Previously on the PDF maker button in office 2003 you could choose which sheets within a workbook you wanted to convert. Now I have to choose the whole workbook or just one page. It is not as easy.....so I have serached adobe and cannot find how to re-install pdf maker when you change your office. I have acrobat 8. PLEASE can anyone help or am I stuck with this less efficient tool?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am sure it is easy as pie to remedy!
thanks!

You need to do an update to AA8. The original AA8 did not work with OFFICE 7 as far as PDF Maker was concerned. The updates resolve the issue. If you still have problems, then it may be that you have PDF Maker blocked by OFFICE 2007.

Adobe Acrobat 8 PDF Maker

How do I install PDF Maker (Adobe Acrobat 8) on WIndows 8.1 64bit. During the installation, it gave me error saying that it was missing a a ".dll" file.
Acrobat 8 installed fine and everything works except there is no PDF print driver.

How do I upgrade Acrobat 8.0 to 8.1. I tried running "check for upgrades" in the help menu but the systems says no updates are availabe. Is there a download ink where I can download updates?
In fact, I have Acrobat 8.3.1 installed on Windows XP. I had upgraded this from 8.0 a while ago. It would appear the upgrades are no longer available?

Basics of Javascript programming for Acrobat and PDFs

Hello,
I have a PDF file that I have added a form to, in order to programatically edit the fields within the PDF.
I have found lots of useful resources for javascript in acrobat, including the Acrobat Javascript SDK reference PDF, which I have read.
My problem is, most of the examples I see ask you to do the following:
"To add a document level JavaScript in Acrobat, go to 'Advanced > JavaScript > Document JavaScripts', enter a name for the script and click 'Add'."
I would like to enter the javascript directly into the HTML, and then edit the fields via HTML, as opposed to adding the javascript into the PDF file ahead of time.
For example, this code changes the date of a field when the doc is opened:
// variable to store whether document has been opened already or not
var bAlreadyOpened;
function docOpened()
if(bAlreadyOpened != "true")
    // document has just been opened
    var d = new Date();
    var sDate = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d);
    this.getField("todaysDate").value = sDate;
    // now set bAlreadyOpened to true so it doesn't
    // run again
bAlreadyOpened = "true";
else
    // document has already been opened
// call the docOpened() function
docOpened();
Can I just stick this in an HTML file that hosts the PDF and have it change the fields?
The reason being, I need to pull the data for the form fields from a database. I know there is Database stuff bulit into the SDK (ODBC access, which they call ADBC)
But it would be so much easier if I could just write some javascript into the browser.
Thanks in advance for looking at my question!

I don't think you can do this in HTML. However, you could open the PDF file from an FDF download, which would contain the Acrobat Javascript that you want to execute. Thus, instead of opening the PDF directly from a URL, the URL would lead the user to an HTML (or, better yet, an ASPX) file that downloads the FDF stream (MIME type: "application/vnd.fnd"). The FDF not only contains the actual URL of the PDF file, which will cause the PDF to open in the browser, but it can also contain the Acrobat JavaScript code that you want to use, so you would not need to embed the JavaScript in each PDF file.
If you take this approach, you'll probably want to purchase a 3rd-party product (e.g. FDFApp.Net) to help you generate the FDF output because getting FDF syntax exactly right can be difficult.

Overview of security in Acrobat and PDFs

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WSbba457e6030d283f-5b649469138c0a5cc00-8000.html

Acrobat X Standard PDF Maker don't work on Outlook 2013

I upgrade to M.O. 2013 and the PDF Maker on Outlook stops working. I'm using the Acrobat X standard latest version on Win.8 Pro 64bit. Somebody knows how to enable this again? Thanks.

Acrobat X PDF Maker is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2013. Please refer to following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
You need to upgrade to Acrobat 11.0.1 to get this feature.

PDF Maker crashing Outlook 2013 in Windows 8.1

I have:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Outlook 2013 64-bit
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, 11.0.06
This is what I do:
Start Outlook. Outllok crashes: Displays popup window saying "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working". The only option is "Close program" I click which closes the popup window. Outlook did not start at all.
I start Outlook a second time. This time Outlook starts but has a yellow bar at the top that says, "ADD-IN PROBLEM". I click to view Disabled Add-Ins. PDF Maker Office COM Add-in is disabled. I click to enable.
I close Outlook. Then I start Outlook again. Outlook crashes as before. The second time has PDF Maker disabled as before, etc.
Looks like Adobe PDF Maker crashes Outlook 2013.

I'm surprised that nobody from Adobe replied. I guess Adobe does not care if users are having problems using their software.
In any case, I found that if you right-click on Outlook, then run Outlook in administrator mode, Outlook starts up, and PDF Maker does not crash Outlook. So I guess that means that if you want the extra protection of not running Outlook in Administrator mode, then you cannot use Adobe Acrobat.
I like Adobe Acrobat. So, this leaves me in a quandry. I tried other PDF makers and editors. I like Adobe Acrobat the best. I remember Nuance's PDF software was so buggy. As far as I can tell, Adobe Acrobat has only one bug, and that bug is only in the PDF Maker part. Everything else Adobe has been working. But I also don't want to give up the protection by having to run Outlook in Administrator Mode.

PDF Maker

Is Acrobat 8.1.0 compatible with Windows 7? I cannot get the PDF Maker to work nor can I print to Adobe.

Acrobat * is not longer supported and PDF Maker has to do with MS Office.
Did you check to see if Acrobat 8 was compatible with your version of MS Office?

Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 adding strange numbers to headings

Hi everyone,
I used the Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 to export a Word document to pdf. After saving the pdf, I noticed that the headings that are displayed in the navigaton pane now contain strange numbers, eg.
1.1 14BSecond level heading
1.2 15BSecond level heading
The above should be:
1.1 Second level heading
1.2 Second level heading
It's doing this for all second level headings in the document and when I save as a pdf file, these numbers are showing in the pdf bookmarks.
Does anyone know if this is a known bug with the pdf add-in and if yes, if there's any way to remove the numbers?
Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem. In my case the unwanted numbers are being prepended to the running headers at the tops of the pages.
So for example, I have some Heading 1 text that says Verifying the Required Account Settings. But in the running header, this shows as 11BVerifying the Required Account Settings.
Unlike the original poster, the 11B does not appear in the text itself - only in the PDF generated by Acrobat's PDF Maker.
This occurs with this document when output from either Word 2007 or Word 2010 and Acrobat X.
Any suggested fixes? ...pt

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...

Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Gray
