Acrobat 8 standard shrinks my document.

Hello,
I have Acrobat 8 standard installed on 3 computers running windows and 2 work fine but I am having problem with one PC with Acrobat
I am trying to convert a document in excel to PDF but it shrinks the overall size of the page once converted- It is a mail flyer so margins and logo placement need to be exact- it is only a small amount of shrinkage but enough to cause a problem- the other 2 pc's handle it perfect but not the third.
I think I have identified the problem i just do not know how to resolve it- on the 2 good pc's once you convert the doucment and look at print preview it shows:
Document 8.3 x 11.7 in
Paper       8.3 x 11.7 in
but on the problem PC it shows
Document 8.5 x 11.0 in
Paper       8.3 x 11.7 in      -I am transferring the same document between the PC's so there should be no difference on the size but on this PC on the preview it shows a grey margin block on the right side of the page which looks like it is causing the shrinkage.
I have looked at every setting I could find and tried to copy the setting from each pc to stop this from happening- I have scaling set to None but I still can not get the converted PDF to appear full size.
Can anyone shed any light on what is causing the document to appear as larger on the problem pc?
Many Thanks
Jon

It's Excel, it has to be. Excel (all MS Office applications to my experience) rely on user defined preferences which do not transfer with the file.

  • How can I make Acrobat stop shrinking scanned documents??

    Very fr
    ustrated in the fact that every time I scan a document for various purposes, the end result has been shrunk
    so that only certain areas of the document are seen in the .pdf file.  It seems to happen
    especially with documents with alot of lines.  My goal is to scan a document, and have it look exactly like the document with no shrinkage.  Please help!

    I have the same issue with my Xerox Documate 152.  I'm trying to create a fillable form from a scanned document, but I need the user to print only the fields onto an original form.
    When I scan the document -- and I've tried it as a .pdf and as a .tiff -- it is significantly different from the original.  When you hold the two up together in light, you can see how the scanned one is completely misaligned.  Looks like nearly a half inch vertically and maybe about 1/16th of an inch horizontally.  That means that when I create the form from the scanned document, the fields do not print onto the original form in the right places.
    This isn't an Acrobat issue given that the same problem occurs with a .tiff file, but does anyone have a solution?  The scanned document simply doesn't match the original.  I can't find an answer elsewhere online.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

    I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
    When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
    The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
    This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server.  If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy.  While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
    Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010  and Acrobat X, etc)
    I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI. 
    Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
    Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
    Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
    Internet Explorer 9
    Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

    I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
    Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
    We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
    This is only started happening this week?

  • PDF document looks different in Adobe Reader 8.1.2 than in Acrobat Standard 6.0.6

    When I saved a PDF document in Acrobat Standard 6.0.6 and later opened it using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 it has stray characters (or rather little rectangles taking up the space of one text character) in different places on the page.
    Opening the same document again in Acrobat verifies the document still looks like the original, but opening it again in Adobe Reader shows the stray characters or boxes.
    What is causing the two programs to render the same document differently on the screen and in printouts?

    I mean open first PDF file by mouse double click, then double click another PDF file, both are opened in 2 separate windows.

  • Need help removing text that is covering the document - Adobe Acrobat Standard X

    I am trying to remove "preview only" that is splashed across our document diagonally.  I can remove this on my computer which has Adobe Acrobat XI standard with content editing --> edit text and images  (a cursor pops up and i can just use the delete button), but not on another computer with Adobe Acrobat X standard.  The only thing we could do was add a red line over the "preview only" and delete that red line. 
    I did try to do my research, but all of the search ideas I was using didn't prove fruitful.
    Any help or ideas you could provider, I would certainly appreciate.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey courtney evans,
    Please let me know how have you sent the PDF file on other computer.
    Also, are you viewing the file in a browser or downloading it and then opening in Acrobat.
    Is the document scanned?
    Please specify and let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Acrobat Standard Won't print first 1/2 page of scanned document

    I have a previously unseen problem.  I've had the program for a few years, but now it won't print the top half of the first page of a scanned document (some of them).  I tried to print something I scanned a few weeks ago, and it works fine.  That one's also in color.  The ones that won't print fully are black and white.  Any ideas?

    You're going to think this is impossible, but the problem only seems to occur with a couple of particular documents I was scanning.  I tried deleting the file, rescanning and resaving, then printing with the same 1/2 page result.  I tried scanning, saving, and printing a couple of sample documents (thinking I would send one of these to you), and there was no problem!  After multiple attempts with the problem document, I fed it through the document feder backwards, and then it scanned, saved, and printed with no problem.
    I'm using a Brother MFC-J6710DW printer, Windows XP Pro, Acrobat Standard 7.0.  I've actually tried to update Acrobat, without success for some reason.  The actual problem document is too sensitive for me to send out.  I'd like to hear ideas, in case this repeats.
    Thank you.

  • How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like?  Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

    Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
    For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
    I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
    I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase.  I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
    1.  After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below.  Why?
    2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
       This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
    File
    > Create
       > PDF from scanner
         > Custom scan
           > Color Mode: Black and White
           > Append to existing file
             > Browse
               > Select file
                 > Scan
    This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan.  Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
    Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option.  Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
    Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance).  Please assist.
    3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
       Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
    3a See Error.  Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
    3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White.  Why?
    3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
    4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product?  The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product.  Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online.  I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
    5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options?  Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities?  Even after clicking "Ready to contact us?  Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
    If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them.  Regardless, please advise.  Thanks!

    uninstall all acrobat/reader versions and retry installing.

  • Can Acrobat Standard append to an existing file when saving?  Can Pro?

    Hello all,
    I'm wondering if Adobe Acrobat Standard has the function to save to an existing file. I don't mean append two PDF's together after they are already created. I mean I already have a PDF document which I need to add lots of additional pages to. So when creating additional PDF's, I want to be able to tell Acrobat to add those files to the end of the document I already have.
    PrimoPDF has this feature which would be a real time-saver in my line of business. In that program, you simply choose the same filename when asked to save the document. It then prompts you to overwrite or append-to the existing file. For business reasons, it would be very advantageous to use Acrobat rather than Primo. Does anyone know if Acrobat Standard can do this? If not, does Pro do it? Thanks for your time. I appreciate any feedback I get.
    Chris

  • Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

    All,
    I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's.  Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google.  The browser displayed the following error:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
    The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat.  The installation must have changed the default viewer.  So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat.  I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..."  This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
    I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0.  But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
    Does Acrobat function independently of Reader?  Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly?  Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Neal
    [email address deleted by host]

    They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

  • Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6).  I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form."  What's wrong?  (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now).  It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document).  Please, someone, anyone, help!  I think I got a bad batch of software here.  Any suggestions?  If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case?  Is this software under warranty?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your email.  The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file.  It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time.  I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file.  I tried to repairing the software but it does not help.  Any other suggestions?  Is this version of software defective?  I really need this feature.  I look forward to your reply.  Thanks.

  • Add the bookmark by coding with Acrobat Standard 9.0

    I adds the bookmark by the Acrobat SDK, the method is OK in the ACrobat 8.0, but in the Acrobat Standard 9.0, it's NOT steady, sometimes it's OK,
    but NOT always.
    My code is as follows:
    ==================================================
    CAcroApp oMainAcroApp;
    oMainAcroApp.CreateDispatch("AcroExch.App",&e);
    CAcroAVDoc oAcroAVDoc;
    oAcroAVDoc.CreateDispatch ("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    //Open the file in the window
    oAcroAVDoc.OpenInWindowEx (...);
    CAcroPDBookmark oBookmark;
    oBookmark.CreateDispatch("AcroExch.PDBookmark");
    pAVApp->MenuItemExecute("NewBookmark");
    //Save the file
    ==================================================
    The code refers to the sample of the Acrobat SDK, but it runs failurely.
    How should I revise the code or is there other method to add the bookmarks?
    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Thank you very much!

    I have just purchased acrobat professional 9. I need to scan multiple documents and can't. The hide scanners native interface is grayed out and I can't change it to "show scanners native interface". Can someone please help. I have a newer dell photo 966 all in one printer.

  • Acrobat Standard 9.0 GPF failure starting scanner

    Windows XP SP3. 2GB memory, many tens of GB free disk.
    Acrobat Standard 9.0 blows up at "Create - From Scanner". Selecting any menu mode, grayscale, color, immediately blows up with GPF, and it gets no farther. No selection box appears about from which scanner, etc.
    AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.332 ModName: scan.api
    ModVer: 9.0.0.332 Offset: 0002be9e
    Acrobat About says 9.0.0
    Plugins About says Scan.api is 9.0.0 6/12/2008
    Acrobat appears to work except for scanner. Never tried scanner from 9 before, first time. However the TWAIN scanner still works very well from Photoshop CS3 and others, and it always worked with Acrobat 6. Do not think it is the scanner, as I cannot get the Create From Scanner option box first.
    Suggestions appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.x crashes when adding large format jpegs

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.x and when I attempt to add a large scale jpg to a pdf, the program crashes.  Is there a limit to the photo size dimensions?  My smaller format photos (8.5 x 11) add just fine to the pdf, but when I attempt to add my larger (35" x 50") photos, the program crashes.

    I recently ran into this with a bitmap in a 265 page document. I copied the bitmap to IrfanView and then back (I think that was the step -- I am already forgetting) and the copied it back. The problem went away. My student may look a bit more at the file -- I asked so I could give a more definitive comment here.
    The result I had suggests that it is a problem in WORD or the bitmap that WORD was using. Why WORD can deal with it and not Acrobat, I am not sure. However, when printing to the Adobe PDF printer there was not a problem, just with PDF Maker.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard -vs- Adobe Acrobat Pro (for large PDF files)

    I need to make a PDF from approximately 600 photos. Is the application Adobe Acrobat Standard competent to achieve this task? Or is it preferable to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

    Neither has particular limits relevant to this.
    If you are making for professional publishing, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.
    However, be aware that YOU DO NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS OR MAKE BOOKS IN ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the view that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher or whatever. It doesn't.

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?
