Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails

Re: Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails.
In Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac, it used to be that I could click on a single thumbnail page in the Pages Navigation Panel (the thumbnail image of that single page would turn blue), then shift-click on another page 3 pages down (with the first and last thumbnail image, along with the 2 thumbnail images in between turning blue), and then drag all 4 pages (i.e., the first and last pages clicked upon and the two pages in between) to another document.
Now, when I try that, only the last thumbnail image clicked upon turns and remains blue, and only that one page can be dragged.
Note 1: I'm using Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Note 2: I checked for this desired ability on a friend's PC running Acrobat X, and it worked fine.
Note 3: I completely reinstalled Acrobat 9.0 and updated it, and the feature described above still does not work.
So, what happened and how can I get this feature to work again?

This is a known bug with 9.4.5: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/865843?tstart=30
There's a good chance it will be fixed in a quarterly update that should be available within a month or two. In the mean time, you can update to just 9.4.4

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages)?

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages) without changing the properties on every single pdf?

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide
setting.

Selecting multiple pages from menu (thumbnails)

I installed the lasted Acrobat 9 Standard (9.4.5) update (6/19/2011) and since then, I have been unable to select a group of pages within the Pages menu (thumbnails) to move, delete and do some other operations. I have always been able to do this. Now, neither holding the shift key nor holding the Ctrl key allows me to select multiple pages to do anything as a group. I have to hold shift key, drag and drop and even though I do that, the results are not the same as it was before.
Did something change with the update? Or perhaps a particular setting was altered with the update? Any thoughts?I
Help needed!

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team. They are hard a work adding a fix to be included in the next update. There is no time frame for this patch to be released.
In the meantime if you are trying to manipulate contiguous pages you can drag the blue box around the pages and perform any action on the pages within the blue selection area. Of course this will not help to choose pages that are not nearby to each other.

Dragging multiple pages from TOC to the topic to create automatic hyperlinks

In my project, I have few topics that contains the hyperlinks of approximately 10 topics. Now, I drag individual page from the TOC to the topic page to create automatic hyperlink. However, I want to select multiple pages in the TOC and drag them at once to create appropriate hyperlinks at once. This will save my time in creating various links.

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.

The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Nope. Did the thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Acrobat Pro resizing print pages

I need to resize a bi-tonal 600 DPI PDF image only file by 80% of original size.
When I process this file it turns the pages into grey scale pages. How do I turn this off and just keep the image as bi-tonal.

Sorry about that the subversion is 9.4.0 and I am running xp. It is adobe acrobat pro, should I move this question to a different forum?

Acrobat pro XI download page

I've recently purchase acrobat Pro XI before DC was released and used the link to download the software once but now the page only takes you to DC. When you click any of the links provided for the XI download it takes you to a page where this isn't actually anything to download. Need a link to the actual download.

Hi bradw96588086,
Please let me know if you have tried downloading Acrobat XI from here:

Acrobat Pro XI multiple levels of bookmarks

I am nesting my bookmarks in Acrobat Pro XI and need a fourth level. So far, I have only been able to nest to three levels. Does any one know if there is a limit to the levels in bookmarks, and, if so, how to get around it?
Thanks,
Mary

You can keep going beyond level 4 no problem. What's happening to prevent you from doing so?

Acrobat Pro 9 Multi-page PDF Printing backwards thumbnails

Any time I create a multi-page PDF and ask it to print, it will print the first page correctly and then print every subsequent page as a mirror image thumbnail in the corner of the paper. If I print each page individually it prints fine. After doing a fair bit of testing, I've found the following:
If I de-select the option "choose paper source by pdf page size" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this means any multi-page PDF with 8x11 and 11x17 doesn't print the 11x17 pages properly as it just prints them on 8x11 paper.
If I select "print as image" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this is unacceptable due to the blurring of lines and text that occurs when selecting this option.
I haven't tested the various page scaling options because I am producing scaled maps, and must therefore leave it set to "none".
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to resolve the issue? Printing 10-20 page documents one sheet at a time isn't exactly an ideal solution.

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

Mac Pages will not open in CS4 Adobe Acrobat Pro

Is this standard? OR can you only open other Adobe/pdf files in Acrobat Pro?

Acrobat Pro cannot open pages files. You need to create a pdf file from
Pages as you do with any other program from the print dialog box or in
the case of Pages you can use the export function (but this doesn't use
Acrobat to create pdf files).

I can't activate Acrobat Pro license

Hello
after the inconveniences and the impossibility to connect and sync my documents with Creative Cloud Connection, now it is the turn of Acrobat Pro to giving me trouble.
I can't activate Acrobat Pro license, so I can't use it.
After launching Acrobat Pro, a blank page that should contain the license agreement appears, but the button for accepting the license doesn't work. I have deinstalled and reinstalled several times the application without success.
Thank you to explain me how to resolve this problem.

How do I transfer Acrobat.Pro to a new computer?

I have already bought Acrobat Pro and installed it. Now I want to transfer the software to a new computer, but cannot find my paid for software, key, or whatever. Are my details of purchase kept by Acrobat.com, and how can I get it to facilitate the re-installation of the sdofware?

Hi drpieterdutoit,
I've checked your account using the same email address that you use in the forums, and I don't see any order history. I do see that you've registered a copy of Photoshop, but don't see that you've registered Acrobat.
If you purchased an Acrobat subscription, your Adobe ID/email address serves as validation, so it's possible that you purchased your subscription using a different Adobe ID/email address.
If you purchased a perpetual version, then you will need a serial number to install. Please see Find your serial number quickly.
You can download Acrobat Pro from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X. But you'll need either a valid subscription or serial number to activate your software.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
