Acrobat 9 Distiller Profile in Acrobat X Distiller

Hi All,
We have received a distiller profile which was created using Acrobat 9 and likely to upgrade distiller server X. Will acrobat 9 distiller profile combatible for X and will there be any issue?
Regards,
Selvakumar

open problem Document:
1 Apply the the 3rd part Joboption or affect.
2 Go to Advanced menu.
3 Choose Optimizer.
4 Choose Item 2
Next while in Optimizer menu:
Choose Fonts
look for any Duplicate Fonts example: Helvetica Bold Italic
unembed all but one copy (I've seen Pdf's where ther was as many as 1-15 copies of the exact same font)
Next choose Transparency:
Flatten Transpariences
Finally save the document (under a new name) and Print one copy of 2 or three pages just to get a feel if document appears correct. If so Use it or send on as needed.

Distiller in Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0?

We are currently using Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 to convert PostScript files to PDF.
Is this functionality still included in the Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 package, or has the Distiller component been removed/upgraded to the Distiller Server component piece only?
Also, we sometimes have a need to insert a blank page into a PDF. I've been told that this functionality is only available in the Acrobat Pro version, not the Standard. Can someone confirm this for me?
THANKS!

Distiller remains in Acrobat Standard; it is the engine behind the
Adobe PDF printer, and you can run it separately. It differs from the
Pro version in not having watched folders and some pre-press features.

Where is the profiles in Acrobat 9

When I try to do a preflight on Acrobat 9, I cannot find the standard profiles that should be loaded with Acrobat.
Path Example: Advance:Preflight:Profiles then blank dialog box where the profiles should be.
Questions:
1. What happened? It shows up on the other computers here in the building (both mac and PC).
2. How do I get it back so I can use Acrobat 9 instead of Acrobat 8?
June 8, 2010
I still did not get a satisfactory answer to the question above.
Can you help me???

Thank you! I feel stupid, but at least I know now

How to execute preflight profile using Acrobat Javascript

Execute a pre-flight profile using acrobat javascript and call that function in VB.Net.

In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
your questions
and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
exist.

C# Acrobat 8 vs. Acrobat 4

Hi,
I am currently switching the referenced DLL in a C# project from a prehistoric Acrobat 4 to an Acrobat 8 equivalent.
My Question is what DLLdo I have to use now?
Previously it used to be done like the following (using the ACRODISTXLib.dll):
ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller myDist= new ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistillerClass ();
myDist.OnJobFail +=new ACRODISTXLib._PdfEvents_OnJobFailEventHandler(handle_OnJobFail);
myDist.FileToPDF(inputPostScript, outputPDF, jobOptions);
For the new version it also states in the SDK that the above methods should be used, the problem is that I can not find the same methods in the DLL installed by Acrobat Prof 8. What I got is this:
AdobePDFMakerX.Distiller acro8 = new AdobePDFMakerX.Distiller();
//There is no "OnJobFailEventHandler
acro8.DistillFile(inputFilename, outputFilename, promptForOutputName);
So what should I actually be using (or why does the SDK still mention the PdfDistiller) ?
Kind regards!

After completely removing all Acrobat Products and making a new clean installation of Acrobat 8 the problem is solved, the ACRODISTXLib can be retrieved from the \Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\acrodist.exe as a reference in VS C#.

This.print(pp) with interactive type silent or automatic does not work after upgrade acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11

After an upgrade of acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11 the automatic printing of a pdf. The pdf is opened, but the print does not happen. With acrobat reader 9 it works. But with acrobat reader 11 the printing does not happen.
I discovered when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.full it works on acrobat reader 11. But when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent or pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic it does not work on acrobat reader 11. But with the full option we have a dialog print box
we do not want.
In our jsp we load a pdf document and create a message handler to detect the print events of a pdf document that is in an <object> tag.
In the pdf document we add

Acrobat 10 Pro vs Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Fellow Forum Members,
Has Adobe dropped the Typewriter tool that Acrobat 9 had? Also Acrobat 9 Pro Extended had an app called Presenter. Has this also been dropped? Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
The biggest difference I see is in the file size between the two apps. Acrobat 10 is close to 460 MB while Acrobat 9 as I remember was close to 1 GB. Does this difference in filesize mean that Acrobat 10 is missing a lot of the features version 9 had? Evenmore, the GUI for Acrobat 10 looks very bare compared to version 9. Has Acrobat 10 gone through some reverse evolution ?
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
The headline differences are as follows...
Items omitted from Acrobat X which where in one or more editions of Acrobat 9:
1) Ability to import and transcode video/audio files other than MP3, Flash Video and H.264 (now handled by Adobe Media Encoder in Acrobat X Suite).
2) Ability to import and transcode 3D model files other than U3D and PRC (now handled by the Tetra4D Converter application, sold separately).
3) Ability to embed legacy rich media annotations (removed for security reasons - legacy media will play but cannot be created).
4) Ability to import and register geospatial images and maps (now handled by export tools within native GIS software).
5) Organizer and the History tree (users should use external fie management and browsing tools such as Adobe Bridge, etc).
6) Support for Highlight File Format (functionality is no longer available).
7) ADBC (users should convert to using XFA or SOAP).
8) Headless import of InDesign files (now handled by the Export utility in InDesign itself).
There are lots of tweaks under the surface to make the installer footprint smaller. Losing some of the above features make a big difference (geospatial and 3D support took a lot of space), and despite being smaller than Acrobat 9, Acrobat X includes many new features too - such as support for Office 2010, export to spreadsheet, intelligent scan and OCR, etc. It's certainly true that it's not possible to replicate the entire functionality of Pro Extended, but as many users only needed a fraction of the tools, splitting off the specialist stuff makes commercial sense too - Acrobat X Pro is significantly cheaper than Pro Extended, even if you factor in the cost of a couple of commercial plugins. For example many users who were using Pro Extended for video work also had a copy of Creative Suite, Vegas, etc., so they already had the ability to generate the correct video files - duplicating chunks of the conversion code in Pro Extended didn't make sense, and with full H.264 support in Acrobat X we can import files from most prosumer sources (camcorders, cellphones, etc) without any conversion at all.

Acrobat 8 Standard and Acrobat X Pro unable to install

Hello,
I have purchased Acrobat 8 Standard and Acrobat X Pro, and have both serial numbers.
I am unable to install either in my new computer.
I do not have a disc for Acorbat 8, but do have one for Acrobat X Pro.
I have tried downloading from Download and Installation Help. I received the following error message: "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
I have uninstalled and re-installed 8.
I have used the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner.
Nothing has worked so far.
I received an email from Adobe Help & Support. I replied in order to set up an appointment, but never received a response.
It was suggested in one of the last communications in another forum, that I post a new discussion in the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
Please help.

Hi Elizabeth ,
It is not recommended to download and run two Acrobat versions on the same machine as it can lead to some conflicts between the two and as well as with the activation server .
Try and use single software on one machine .
Please use the Adobe Cleaner tool to uninstall the software .Here is the link for the same .
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Once uninstalled ,try downloading the software once again and see if that works for you .Make sure you disable all the third party software while the installation is in progress to avoid any interruption.
Or you could refer the following to download Acrobat X Pro .Acrobat 8 standard ,as it is an older version would not be available now .
You could try and download Acrobat X referring the following KB document and serialize by typing the serial number mentioned on the disk .

Unable to Open Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat Reader

I used to be bale to open PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X Pro but now I cannot. I can still see PDF files with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, but Abode Reader nor Adobe Acrobat X Pro will open. I can still create PDF file (with other programs) but Adobe Reader and Acrobat X Pro will not open. I can't even open the program to deactiviate the serial number. I tried using the Repair option under Control Panel but that didn't fix the problem. What should I do?
Currently Windows 7, using Creative Suite 6 (comes with In-design, photoshop...etc and Adobe Acrobat X Pro).

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool, reinstall Acrobat.

Acrobat X vs. Acrobat Pro Extended

Hi,
Currently I have Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 installed in my machine and I am a heavy LiveCycle Designer user. I was wondering if I could install Acrobat X without uninstalling the current version in my machine (Acrobat Pro Extended). Also, if I do have to uninstall Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 in order to install Acrobat X, does that mean I'd lose LiveCycle Designer, or is LiveCycle part of the Acrobat X package too?
Thank you for your help

Acrobat X comes together with LiveCycle Designer ES2.
It is not recommended to install Acrobat X together with Acrobat 9 on one OS.
During the setup of Acrobat X your asked if you wish to uninstall the current version before you proceed.
You should do so as the result of the setup otherwise is not foreseeable.

Acrobat 9 (Pro) and Acrobat X(10) in the same machine?

Hi,
Is it possible to install both Acrobat 9 and X (10) in the same machine?
I have 32-bit XP machine as well as Acrobat 9 licensed version installed in it. I would like to know if I install Acrobat X (10)'s Trial version from the internet, what would happen to my licensed version 9?
Thanks in Advance!

Adobe does not support installation of two different copies of Acrobat on the same machine.

Link works in Acrobat Std 8.0, Acrobat Reader 8.2, but not in Reader 9.0

Hi. I also posted this in the Acrobat site:. Perhaps this might be a more appropriate location?
Hello.
I faced a really strange thing today. I created a report PDF through Xcelsius. In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN. The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0. I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
Details:
Software used: Xcelsius 2008 SP1
                       Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
                       Acrobat Reader 9.0
                       Acrobat Reader 8.2 (later)
Link address:   file://G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you!
--- Update ---
I later uninstalled Reader 9.0 and reinstalled Reader 8.2 and the link worked in Reader 8.2. The link is a direct address and not a script. The file is opened in IE 7 as a spreadsheet with Macros attached. It is important for me that it works in both versions of Reader as there are several versions of Acrobat Reader deployed among our hospital -- Reader 7, 8, and 9.
Can someone help shed some light on this, please?

I think this is related to this other problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/567165?tstart=-1 . This has appeared with current releases of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Adobe seems unresponsive. We started seeing it this week in conjunction with Excelsius 4.5. I have both Acrobat Pro 9.3 and Acrobat Reader 8 on my PC. Pro blows up when I open the .pdf created by Excelsius, but Reader does fine.
