Acrobat 9 Pro cannot crop certain files that v7 can

I just upgraded to Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac, and find that it does not allow cropping of many files that I can crop with v7. At least in some cases, these are PDF/A files.  Does v9 prohibit the cropping of such files, and if so can the PDF/A restriction be overridden? I am running OS 10.5.8 on a G5.  Thanks!

No product should force security on its users without providing them any practical way to override. Web browsers, email clients, and operating systems warn you of potentially dangerous files and then let the client make the choice. What if it's a zip file from a trusted source full of harmless text documents? Too bad - because Acrobat says so. Acrobat makes no attempt to examine the zip file to see if perhaps its contents are dangerous - it just sweepingly decides zips are far too dangerous to let the user have any voice in the matter. I fundamentally disagree.
Notice that I've attached a zip file to this post. Adobe allows zips on their forums but not in their PDF documents. Adobe: If you've deemed zip files safe enough to be hosted and delivered in your own forums, why have you decided they have no place in a PDF?
I think Adobe got this one wrong - and I cast a vote that they loosen the noose on zip files on a future release. I'd like to hear other users' thoughts on this issue. Adobe is good at listening to their users - so tell them what you think on this issue - I've posted this article as a feature request here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/520515 - reply to it that thread and share your viewpoint.
Cheers,
Dan

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Does this help with Firefox?

  • Cannot Share Certain File Types...

    I recently uploaded a MP4 file that I wanted to share with a friend. The video is mine from my camera with basic editing in Premier. I uploaded this and then I see “You cannot share this file type.”
    After a looking through the other forums I came across this thread that says we cannot share video, music, and fonts. Hmmm....
    There is this sentence on the Creative Cloud Website:
    “When you're connected, you can do even more with Creative Cloud, thanks to online services for file sharing, collaborating, and publishing websites and documents.”
    Let us imagine:
    I am a Video Professional who uses Premier to edit videos and the above blurb excites me. I sign up and make3 the most awesome video of my career. ( dream frequently) I do a bit of editing, viola! A finished project Time to share with my friend so they can confirm I'm a genius, okay? Since I have a website with Business Catalyst using the Creative Cloud I will put it there. Oh wait, BC cannot handle a file over 100mb and my Video is a few hundred megabytes. Well, I have Creative Cloud Storage online and it allows for sharing, wonderful! I upload the video, no issue, then go to share the video. WAIT! What is this? I cannot share a file that I CREATED? Why Not?
    I can understand not wanting to get in trouble due to copyright law but you are a company that produces a program specifically for video editing (let us not forget Audition for Music/Audio editing.) I believed the pitch about Creative Cloud for professionals so they can create files and collaborate with anyone from anywhere. Yet there is that footnote: you cannot share video, music, or fonts. ?!?!?!? This is very limiting. If there are legal reasons why you cannot share the file types then say so. With MP4 there is a patent on the codec, and so we cannot share these files(?) but we can create them using Adobe Programs.
    No worries I'll just zip my files to have my genius confirmed or denied.
    Adobe, I would like to understand the reason for the block on allowing certain file types to be shared. With the disallowing of certain file types you severally limit the value of the Cloud. Also where is the list of blocked file types? Why did I have to find out the hard way that I cannot share videos? I cannot find a list or even a statement that those files are not allowed to be shared (other than a forum thread which is not the typical place those shopping for the service offered, would look).
    Thank You, I think I need a chocolate bar now.

    Agreed Lynda.
    There seems to be certain promises, which may give false impressions, in Adobe's marketing copy for the Cloud. Limitations of the Cloud are barely, if at all, mentioned,
    I hope it's made a little more accurate one day.

  • I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version

    I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???

    Jules,
    You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
    Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
    Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

    Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
    You can open Disk Utility several ways.
    1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
    2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
    - Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
    3. Click on the Finder
    - Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
    - Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
    Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
    (By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
    Click on it to highlight it.
    There should then be a few buttons you can click
    - Verify Disk Permissions
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Verify Disk
    - Repair Disk
    Click Repair Disk Permissions

(I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    Question asked and answered several times.
    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.
