Acrobat 8 Pro, IE 7, PDFmaker missing

I do not know what happened but all of a sudden the PDF toolbar is missing. When I right-click, the context menu items are missing. I've repaired my Adobe installation and re-booted. Any ideas? I've searched the internet high and low and haven't found a thing that works. Do I need to completely un-install and re-install? That's such a pain, I was hoping it would not come to that since you have to deal with the whole activation thing. It's maddening! I convert EVERYTHING to PDF.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. My right-click PDF maker and the Adobe PDF toolbar have gone missing in IE7. I have tried completely uninstalling IE7 and that didn't work. I tried installing Firefox but that didn't work either (still missing PDF menus, which makes me think it's an Adobe problem). I have tried to repair the Adobe installation several times to no avail. I have searched high and low for a solution and this post is the closest I've come (to at least confirming the error). The only thing I haven't tried is a complete reinstall of Acrobat. (I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard.) I (used to) constantly convert Web pages to PDF for my research so I could make notes on the pages -- this is my primary reason for purchasing the product and it's gone missing.
I will say the Adobe menus appear in all of my MS Office applications, and I just upgraded to Office 2007 and they're still there. So this problem appears to be limited to IE7.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Confirm Password textbox missing

    I have a rather bizarre problem. I am using Acrobat Pro 9 and creating a digital signature.
    I fill out the forms and the last screen has a password textbox. It is supposed to also have a confirm password textbox, but it is missing.
    So I can't complete the digital sig.
    Any ideas?

    I located the profiles in the program folders. I imported one of them and it repopulated the list with all of them.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Preflight Profiles missing

    When I navigate to the Preflight window via Advanced>Preflight, I don't see any profiles. I think there is supposed to be a list of default items, but mine is empty. Is there a setting whereby I can view profiles? I sent my doc to my coworker and she can see the profiles, but I can't.
    Help would be appreciated,

  • CC member with full access to Acrobat XI pro, do I still need to re-invest to buy the upgrades?

    It is all in the box above but basically I want a contact form with radio/date/text etc and muse does not do all that. If I use FormsCentral do I also have to pay extra to get my responses? I am expecting 100/200 responses / month and would probably need FormsCentralPlus but as CC member already have Acrobat XI pro, or am i missing something here. Help would be appreciated.

    The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

  • Occasional letters missing in pdf document created in Acrobat XI Pro

    I have been working on a pdf document created from Indesign By Acrobat XI Pro that will be for online download. The first version was fine. Links had to be added and some of the text coloured. After edits occasional letters have gone missing throughout the document. Why on earth is this happening? I now have to go through the entire document with a fine toothcomb before submitting it to my client again. It doesn't make me look good!
    Any ideas?
    Salli G.

    I suspect that you somehow deleted the embedding of the fonts. Check the document properties and be sure all fonts are embedded.

  • Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

    HELP!!!
    I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
    Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
    However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
    The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
    Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
    I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
    Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
    Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

    Hello Atul -
    i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
    in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
    these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
    they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
    I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
    obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
    i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
    any input you have would be much appreciated.
    thank you,
    bethany

  • Acrobat 3D Toolkit missing in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Dear all,
    I updated from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Now I was looking for the Acrobat 3D Toolkit and couldn't find it.
    Was it renamed into Adobe 3D Reviewer or is it just missing in the installation?
    Best regards,
    Sandra.

    Actually, when you create an animation in 3D Reviewer you can only save it to PDF.<br /><br />The animation is saved as a JavaScript attached to the 3D annotation in PDF. It is not saved in U3D or PRC.<br /><br />To view your animation in PDF you need to use a PDF template. There is a default template that comes with the product locaded in the following folder:<br /><br />   C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins3d\prc\ENU<br /><br />You should use one of the following templates depending if you rather use Acrobat to create a form template or LiveCycle Designer (also comes with Acrobat Pro Extended):<br /><br />   - a3drtemplate_03.pdf: template created with Acrobat<br />   - a3drtemplate_lc_03.pdf: template created with LC Designer<br /><br />To save to PDF, you need to use the File>Export menu option, then click on the Options button (left corner), then choose PDF from the list of formats, and click on Options again to set the template to use.<br /><br />On the PDF Export Options dialog box, check the box 'Use Template' and select one of the default templates indicated above. Then at the bottom of the dialog box, check the box 'Include Animations' and click OK (twice) and Save.<br /><br />The PDF created will have the JavaScript to play the animation. If you want to take a look at the JavaScript, it is saved in your temp folder at the following location:<br /><br />   C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Temp<br /><br />The JavaScript file will have the name of your model with a .jsX extension where X is a number.<br /><br />In 3D Reviewer, special views are created using the following tool: <br /><br />   View>Configurations>Create Configuration<br /><br />If you use the Export to PDF option with a template, all the conigurations will come thru in the PDF. You can also save configurations to a PDF without using a template. They will come in as custom views in PDF.<br /><br />You can download the file below to see an example of a PDF saved from 3D Reviewer with a simple animation:<br /><br />   https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=db6805a2-9cdd-4584-8388-e4d59123f012<br /><br />Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat X pro pdf printer missing/ puzzle re forum fixes

    Licensed Acrobat X pro installed; but no pdf printer.
    Attempted workaround
    <http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2012/06/04/acrobat-pdf-printer-missing-after-installation- on-windows-64-bit/>
    Solution 1 repair --did not work
    Solution 2 --Uninstall and reinstall: I installed as part of CS5.5...do I have to unistall entire or just Acrobat?
    Solution 3:  I am copying below with notes as to what didn't show up
    Manually install the PDF Printer
    Click Start >  Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Select Add a printer
    Select Add a local printer
    Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down.  Click Next
    [No such file on 'existing port.' attempted using NITRO pdf which came with this new lenovo machine [but never availbale and not installed --jst recommended, although this file exists  < NitroPDF Port: (local port) > which I attempt]
    Click the Have Disk… button
    Click the Browse… button
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
    Select AdobePDF.inf from the list if using Acrobat Pro, or AdobePDFstd.inf if using Acrobat Std, then click the OK button
    [this files exists]
    You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
    [Attempted six down--no dice].
    Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
    Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
    If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\<OS version> folders.
    [Once I hit 'test' print it states  < Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe'.
    BUT i'm not using Acrobat 11.0!
    Any ideas, o wise ones?
    best,
    skylar1

    Hello All,
    I just figured this out--
    I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
    Works!
    I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
    Hope this helps....

  • Acrobat X Pro: No PDFMaker tools in Word 2003

    Hi all,
    Although Adobe says that Acrobat X is compatible with Word 2003, PDFMaker did not install (in Word or any other of my Office apps) when I installed the Acrobat X Pro package today. No ribbon, no add-in menus, nothing.
    I have tried manually adding the .DLL COM add-ins, but all I get is Word saying that it's not a valid add-in. Acrobat is not on the disabled list (no apps are), but it just will not install.
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Office 2003, CS4 Design Standard and newly-installed Acrobat X Professional (and yes, I uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro prior to installing X).
    Any help would be appreciated. I know I can just print to the PDF printer, but that will not include the in-document bookmarks I need to generate.
    Thanks.

    They do indeed indicate it should be compatible. When you say it did not install, I assume you simply mean there is no Adobe menu in WORD. You will have to go to place in WORD where you permit other macros. Typically what happens is that it does not show because WORD has not allowed it in their system. That is an option you must activate.

  • I downloaded the acrobat 9 pro series of updates. Get an error message saying that windows installer can't install.  Missing or wrong program.

    Here is the exact error message:
    The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
    It is Acrobat 9 Pro that is installed and the upgrade file is: AcroProExUpd910_all_incr and/or AcrobatUpd911_all_incr.
    Help!

    the 2nd file can only be installed on acrobat 9.1.0 pro extended.
    what version do you have (click help>about)?
    and what link did you use to get AcroProExUpd910_all_incr?

  • Right-Click Context Menu's Acrobat X Pro Missing

    Hello.  I have a user of Acrobat X Pro on Windows XP 32-bit system.  When they right-click, the context menu's are not there.  These menu's exist in my other 2 users Acrobat 9 right-click menu's.  Please help me to resolve getting the menu items to show up.  I have tried running regsvr to reload the ContextMenu.dll file and it succeeded but still nothing when right clicking.

    Via Hit and Miss, I discovered that the "blanks" in my right click context menu are actually the command buttons, just missing the text.  I tried everything, including the contextmenu.dll approaches but nothing worked.  I then highlighted a few PDF's, hit the blank bar in the context menu, and voila - Acrobat opened and put me into the "combine files" window.    Even right-clicking on a single JPG and then hitting the blank bar opens up the "add files into a PDF" window.
    Not a perfect fix but at least it gives me what I want!!

  • Acrobat X Pro - Windows 7 - Missing context menu

    Hi, so I just installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a Windows 7 computer and noticed how the context menu "right click" for "Combine PDF files" are missing. Open with Adobe Acrobat X however is there, but when selecting two or more PDF files, this option isn't there anymore. It was before installing Acrobat X from Acrobat 9.3.
    I tried regsvr32 for ContextMenu.dll as well as the ContextMenu64.dll, since this is a 64bit Windows 7 computer. I also tried removing the entry from registry. When I ran the regsvr32 again, the registry entry came back. So the registering of the dll seems to be working.
    The only thing I haven't tried yet is to restart the computer. Would that be necessary? Or is this option removed from Acrobat X?

    do the following to see if you get them back
    register the Contextmenu64.dll (if on a 64bit system)
    located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements
    Open a command prompt as an administrator
    type:
    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements
    hit return
    type:
    regsvr32 Contextmenu64.dll
    hit return
    check if these context menu's have returned for supported files.
    I had the same issue and this worked for me.
