Acrobat 9.0 (PDF 1.8) compatibility

Just checkin' ;-)
is it just me or is the Acrobat 9.0 (PDF 1.8) compatibility just not there after Acrobat Pro X installation? (Distiller X, PDF Maker).
(Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Acrobat Pro X installer, Microsoft Office 2007).
Cheers,
Cari

Adobe is not producing a PDF 1.8 Reference. Distiller/PDFMaker didn't write anything newer than 1.7 – so no need for any newer settings in Distiller.

Acrobat V9.0 PDF and Reader V5.0 Compatibility

Hi - I'm having trouble with an Acrobat V9.0 PDF. The file was generated on the PC with WinXP using Acrobat V9.0 Standard Edition.
I also have access to an OS9.2 Mac which we use to run Adobe Framemaker. The Mac has Acrobat, Distiller and Reader V5.0.
Am finding that Acrobat or Reader V5.0 won't display V9.0 PDF's, coming up with a read error. I always thought that PDF was portable (Portable Document Format??).
Has the strive forward with versions now made this portabilty a thing of the past and now version dependant.
As a test we distilled a PDF using Acrobat V8.0 and this was display'd fine.
It seems to be an issue with the new realease.

Adobe neither supports nor recommends that combination. Most known problems don't relate to creating pdfs, but usually with viewing pdf files. However, if you remove Reader 9.1 you will break Acrobat 6. I'd recommend you uninstall both and re-install 6 (unless you want to upgrade to version 9). Be aware the Acrobat 9 is the last version of Acrobat you can purchase as an upgrade from Acrobat 6. When the next version comes out you'll have to pay full fare.

Will Acrobat XI export pdf to PowerPoint 2007?

I am using PowerPoint 2007, and would like to know what editions of PowerPoint the Acrobat XI export feature can convert a pdf to"

Hi Xeno1,
Acrobat XI converts PDF into PPTX format and PowerPoint 2007 understands PPTX very well.
To know all MS Office Applications vs Acrobat version compatibility, please refer to following link:

Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open

I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?

You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.

Acrobat 7 wont pdf from IE8

Hi
I am trying to PDF online reports from Internet Explorer 8. Adobe acrobat starts the PDF then sort of hangs. There is no error message. On checking the print job I find the status as error. it works fine when using firefox but the reports dont work on firefox..
anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I am trying this on a windows 7 32 bit system.

Keep in mind that Acrobat's support for Windows 7 (any flavor) began with Acrobat 9.2.
(See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/ )
"If you own Acrobat 6, Acrobat 7, or Acrobat 8 software, you are eligible for an upgrade to Acrobat 9. An Acrobat 9 upgrade can be purchased through your Adobe reseller or the Adobe Store. Upgrading to Acrobat 9 will ensure compatibility with Windows 7..."
A matrix that is helpful —
(Acrobat PDF-capable web browsers and PDFMaker-compatible applications (Acrobat 6.x - 9.x on Windows and Mac OS))

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards
Ramon

Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

View Acrobat 9.0 PDF object in VB6 Form

I'm programming in Visual Basic 6 and I was able to load the Acrobat 5 pdf object into the VB form.
Now I try to find VB6 components to open Acrobat 9.0 PDF object in VB6 Form and could not find it.
What should I do?
Could somebody help me?
I’ll really appreciate it,
Ben

I forgot to tell that I have Windows XP SP3.
I added the Adobe Acrobat Browser Control type Library 1.0 (AcroPDF.dll) from Components.
But when I try to Load the PDF into the VB6 Form I received Message from Adobe:
“There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please Exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.”
When I click OK the PDF object is not showing up in the VB6 Form and trying again not help.
If I just click the object manually outside of VB it is open without notice.
Thanks,
Ben.

Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat XI

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

Even clicking on a link to a PDF file from a "pinned" site (which, according to Microsoft, isn't supposed to be able to run with add-ons) causes the PDF file to open in the browser.
I'm using IE10 on Windows 8 Pro x64. I remember reading that Microsoft integrated Adobe Flash into IE10...I think they did the same with Adobe Reader. I just found out that pinned sites in IE10 can be used to view Flash videos, so it would seem that I am correct. Does anyone else agree with me?

Acrobat 9 Proを使っていますが、PDFファイルを開いてそのプロパティの中のフォントを開くと各フォント別に、(a)種類、(b)エンコーディング、(c)実際のフォント、(d)実際のフォントの種類の４つが表示されます。
PDFファイルを開いた画面中にある特定の文字についてこのような情報を知るにはどうしたらいいでしょうか。4つ全ては無理としても、そのうちのいくつかだけでも知ることはできるでしょうか。

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!
Ione

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

How do I paste a signature onto an Acrobat XI Standard pdf form?

How do I paste a signature onto an Acrobat XI Standard pdf form?

Do you want a scribbled annotation, a facsimile stamp, a signature form field, or invisible certifying signature?

Acrobat 9's PDF Printer prints pages individually (W7x64)

Hello,
I have a user that tries to print a document using Acrobat 9's PDF Printer. Despite specifying to print the whole document, the printer prompts a save location for each page of the document. This is done from Excel 2010 Pro Plus with the OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 edition.
So basically, what happens is that the printer makes a file for each page of the document.

What version of Acrobat 9?

Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?

Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers? I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work.

You ask "why", but don't provide any information...
What is your operating system?
What is your web browser?
Are you asking about Adobe Reader or Acrobat?
What is your Reader / Acrobat version?
What exactly means "will not load"?
