Acrobat 9: Keywords are duplicated on PDF/A conversion

I got into a weird issue:
During converting a PDF file to PDF/A (e.g. PDF/A-1b) using Preflight > Convert to PDF/A... or File > Export > PDF/A, Acrobat 9 duplicates all keywords (Document Properties > Keywords)if there are more than one.
Keywords before conversion:
>keyword1; keyword2
Keywords after conversion:
>"keyword1; keyword2"; "keyword1; keyword2"
Any idea why?

Not fixed in Acrobat 9.1.2.
Problem was reported and accepted as a bug in October 2008.
Only workaround is to modify the metadata with an external tool, Acrobat's scripting engine cannot do this job…

Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into a pdf.

Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into
a pdf. Any advice?

To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.
Be well...

Print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro, just as it is psbl to do in a browser

Hi
I want to print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro. That could be both text and images, which are in my selection. Just as it is psbl to do in a browser. Is it possible in Acrobat PRO?
I am using the latest Acrobat Pro 11.0.9

Thanks for your effort but this again clearly does NOT answer my question. I do see a particular problem and that is that I might want to select text and images over a range of multiple pages. In a doc of 20 pages I might want to make a single selection of the text starting PRECISELY at the MIDDLE of page 2 and then continue dragging my selection all the way to PRECISELY the MIDDLE of page 15, thereby selecting all text and images within the precise range of my selection. That is some 13 pages there and I want to print out ONLY THAT selection of text and images. And in that case I cannot use your suggestion with the marquee zoom. Do you get me?

Acrobat X highlight the bookmarked area of a pdf

How do I make Acrobat X highlight the bookmarked area of a pdf when I select that bookmark?

If I have 10 bookmarks on the same page, I want the text I selected when I created the bookmark (or the text that is bookmarked because it was a Heading style in Word and I chose to have the styles be bookmarks when I created the pdf) to be identified easily on the page. When I click the bookmark in the bookmark panel on the left I am moved to that page, but the specific area of the page is not identified in any visible way.

Some CGM graphics do not appear when FrameMaker files are converted to PDF

CGM files are exported from ISO (Arbortext Isodraw 7.0 CadProcess) files. Then they are imported into Adobe FrameMaker 7.2, where all elements of the illustration are visible and can be printed. The FrameMaker FM file is converted to a PDF file using the Adobe PDF converter function of Frame. When the PDF file is opened by Adobe Acrobat 8,0 Professional, some, but not all of the illustrations in the file exhibit this problem (The callouts and other text may appear, but the lines, curves, etc. do not). The illustration prints the same way it appears on the screen. When exporting the ISO file as a CGM, the following selections are made.
When importing file into Frame, "Import by Reference" is selected.
When creating PDF in Frame, the following selections are made.
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks, Michael.
I will give it a try.

First you should update to the latest version of Acrobat 8, since you say
you are running Acrobat 8, you should update to 8.2.5. Update your
FrameMaker to 7.2p158. Those two steps might do the trick. If that fails
try using a different settings file. Perhaps High Quality or Press
Quality. I would never use Standard for anything where fidelity is
important.

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Corrupted Fonts In PDF

I am hoping that someone can help with this issue that I am having. I have been using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for most of the year without any issues until recently. When I have been creating PDF from Internet Explorer 9, some of the text in the PDF is correupted, while other text is not. It displays properly in the "Print Preview", but after the PDF is created it is messed up. It does this on both the 64 and 32 Bit IE9. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit as an O/S. Any idea as to why this is doing it, but more importantly how to fix it? I have tried to unistall and reinstall the software, but that didn't fix the problem. Please help!

If you use ctrl-D>Fonts you can see if the fonts are embedded and if the original font or a substitute is being used. I would guess that the fonts are not embedded and that is your problem. So, to help you trace the problem give the version no. of IE, the sub-version of Acrobat (like 9.4.5) and how you are creating the PDF (like printing to the Adobe PDF printer). For the creation, what job settings are you using. Standard is the default, but you might want to try the press or print options.

Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
Thanks-

Adobe Acrobat X Standard is displaying some PDFs with garbled text. Help, please.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat X Standard without any issues for a long while. The other day, I received a PDF, opened it, and the words are garbled. My co-worker who has the very same software is able to view the document without all the garbage. I have gone to distiller in an attempt to fix. No one from IT can seem to fix the problem and I am at my wits end. I've lost lots of sleep over this. I was even upgraded to Adobe Acrobat XI and still can review the document but again. Everyone else can. Don't mean to go on and on but, I really need the experts out there to assist me with this issue.
I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you.

Not sure what you're referring to. Is this "URL" part of the page content or are you viewing PDFs in a browser? A screenshot would help.

Acrobat 9 Standard .ppt/pptx to pdf missing objects after conversion

We have Acrobat 9 Standard fully updated, office 2007 fully updated and patched with the Microsoft pdf converter add-on on XP service pack3
When converting ppt/pptx and doc/docx to pdf some of the pictures and information on the slides are missing. If a completely remove Acrobat and just leave the Microsoft pdf converter on, it is able to convert the files correctly. If I install Acrobat 8 standard it works fine also. The majority of the files that it seems to not be converting and leaving off are .emf and .jpg files. It is not all .emf files just the majority
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you tried answering no, then going to Help>Repair and follow up with Help>Updates? A last resort is to uninstall (after deactivation), run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove leftover parts of Acrobat folder, reboot and reinstall. Be sure you have the installation files archived on a CD or backup drive and write the SN on the CD (and previous SN if an update) for future needs.

Acrobat 8.1 Crashing when creating PDF from webpage

www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/910569/000091056909000016/form6-k15june09.htm
I have been trying to create a PDF from the above URL using Acrobat 8.1 using the "Create PDF from Web Page" function. The Download Status form opens and shows the progress as files are downloaded and converted. However Acrobat 8.1 always crashes before completing the task. Acrobat 5.0 successfully completes the task although the formatting leaves a lot to be desired but that's another issue.
I've tried various values for settings such as processing 1 level or getting entire site but the crash is consistent.
I have also tried a couple of other machines in the office with the same crashed result.
Can anybody suggest why Acrobat 8.1 would fail to render this URL into a PDF and what would cause it to crash so consistently? Is there an alternate method of creating a PDF from this URL aside from loading it into Word and printing to a PDF?
Any clues appreciated!

The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

Hey Tragon,
Could you please specify more on the same as what exactly are you trying to do within PDFs.
Are you trying to draw your signature or something else?
What exact dot version of Acrobat XI are you using?
Let me know more so that I can analyze this issue.

Acrobat 9pro won't print to PDF

I am using Acrobat 9pro on my Windows XP x64 computer. When I use Acrobat and try to print to PDF I get the error messages "The document could not be printed." and "There were no pages selected to print." I can, however, print to PDF from other applications such as Word. This problem started suddenly a few months ago after having used the application fine for a year or two. The technical support person told me they wouldn't help me unless I paid $35 to upgrade to Acrobat 10! I'm at a loss.

I'm having this problem too. Acrobat 9.5.3 running on Win 7 x64. After updating Reader form X to XI, Acrobat stopped printing .
I've tried everything: repairing installation, complete installation, removing all the package, removing reader and acrobat, update printers driver, reinstall printers... nothing worked.
Now the only way I have to print is using Reader, that works properly.
This are the dialog boxes coming up: "Document can't be printed" "There were no selected pages to print". I can't have access to the printer setup window too, I guess this is connected to the same issue.
Thank you for your help

Using setViewRect to locate a particular are in a PDF

Hello,
We have a Delphi application in which we are using a TAcroPDF component.
With Acrobat 9 Pro, when we need to locate a particular area in a PDF we use the function setViewRect(left, top, width, height) . Since we updated to Acrobat Reader X, the setViewRect function does not work properly. The vertical scrollbar does not move for whatever the values given as parameters in the setViewRect function.
Also, we notice that if we change regional settings to EN, we also have a different behaviour.
Could you please help us to be able to locate a particular area in a given PDF ?
Thanks

Thank you. At this point I guess our only hope is that it's sitting on a shelf somewhere at the house and my kid and my dad are just terrible at finding things.

Acrobat XI font transfer to nitro pdf pro 9

Hello, I have nitro pdf pro 9 installed as well as adobe acrobat XI installed. There is "courier" font from the comment pane, annotations and "Add text comment" tool in acrobat XI that I want to use in nitro pdf pro 9. How do I transfer all the fonts from adobe acrobat XI to nitro pdf ? Where are all the fonts located in acrobat XI ? Thanks.

There are no fonts located in Acrobat. Fonts are located on the local machine. The encoding for the glyphs displayed in a PDF are in the pdf. To determine how Nitro deals with fonts you'd need to see what the application help or customer service has to say.
Be well...
