Acrobat 9 Pro hangs when moving or resizing stamps

I've had this issue on two different machines running Windows 32 and 64 bit OS.
Document opens fine and you can scroll around and perform operations. Until you put a stamp on it. Everything slows way down but doesn't quite stop. You can't resize or move the stamp although the cursor will eventually show the move or resize symbols because the entire program goes into a semi-freeze. You can't even close the window without waiting several minutes to regain "focus".
If you shut it down and re-open all is normal...until you highlight or focus on the stamp, then the whole freeze or slowdown begins again,
Anyone ever seen this? I can't find anything on it anywhere.

Hi buybeach,
Please update Acrobat to v9.5.5 and check. Was it working fine for you before?
You might also want to repair Acrobat and check.

Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

Hi, i have a user that is working with the Adobe acrobat 9 standard. when he adds a stamp to a PDF that he opens from an Email in Outlook, this is the error he gets. (snapshot in the attached files)

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

Cropping when moving and resizing a cropping rectangle

I created a program that crops an image and displays the cropped image but I'm trying to add more functionality
by making it movable and resizable. The rectangle moves and resizes but it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized. I know that the X,Y, height and width position of the rectangle would need to be updated but I'm not
sure how I can accomplish this being new to WPF. Below is my user control "CropControl and the code behind. Also, I'm implementing my code using MVVM framework.

Hello HotSawz,
The ResizeThumb and MoveThumb is not in your code so I cannot compile. Anyway, it is not the problem.
Anyway, can you clarify more details about "it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized", it is already normal behavoir for you to draw a rectangle and then move it. What kind of action do you want? Do you
mean some controls like this:

Acrobat X hangs when using "Save as compressed pdf" function

I have several users who, when working remotely over VPN, have Acrobat X hang when trying to use the "Save as compressed PDF" to save to either a network drive or to their local machine. The system works fine while in the office however. All other programs and save functionality is fine while connected to the VPN, and I am able to save files directly to the network share or local machine outside of Acrobat. I have removed and reinstalled Acrobat and the program will complete a save normally the first time it's used after the reinstalltion, but will then start failing and hanging again after that. I believe I am at v10.0.7.
Any and all insight will be greatly appreciated!

Hey Lori –
Yes, that’s the option! Sorry don’t have a copy of the software on my own PC to verify against.

Photoshop CS6 a little 'jerky' when moving layers & resizing window (Macbook Pro Retina 650m)

As title says, when I open Photoshop CS6 and simple make a new layer and either use the type tool, it appears to be a little Sluggish/Jerky when moving the layer around.. The same applies when resizing photoshop itself.
I'm updated to the latest version of CS6 and have tried all the combinations in the 'Performance' section of Photoshop.
My Macbook Pro Retina is the 3.4ghz 650m and 8GB RAM offering (OS Mavericks). It's really annoying me as even my old laptop could run it smoothly and that was an i5 and much lower-end graphics card.
The only way I can really describe it (and i'm no tech professional) is when comparing it to silky smooth 60 fps, it looks like it's skipping frames and in term looking 'jerky'. I also use Illustrator and don't really witness the same problem with it.
I know this may have been asked quite a bit.. But I've never found the solution.. Could anybody advise me on what it potentially could be down too? (Might I add the laptop has just had a fresh install of the OS and a fresh copy of CS6)

You could check through the GPU FAQ for anything you might have missed
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
You say you have tried all settings in Performance, but I wonder what your cache levels are set at? If more than 1, then OK.
There's the general performance FAQ (no doubt lots of overlap)
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
Is this with all image docs, or particular ones? For instance I have been playing with using ACR to process 32bit HDR files, and it puts a huge load on the system.

Acrobat Pro hangs up when opening files

When opening any pdf, Acrobat Pro displays page 1 but then becomes unresponsive for a minute or more. I run on a laptop and find that turning my wireless off returns program control. Manually checking for updates tells me there are none available. Please tell me how to stop this obnoxious behavior.

Thank you for that answer. I checked, and mine were turned off. However, I ran a program earlier today that may have turned it off. I’ll wait a few days and see if the problem persists before marking this problem corrected. But I really appreciate your email! Thanks.

Macbook Pro Hangs when Changing locations

Hello Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro 2.16 running Leopard 10.5.1 and every now and then when I change network Locations from Wireless access point to anther (WPA Personal to WPA Enterprise or vice versa), the laptop simply hangs?! Mouse stops moving and nothing responds. I need to hold down the power button to restart the button. It's go em really worried as I have am using FileVault and crashing the box like this will like lead to corruption in the FileVault volume. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? It's never happened to me in Tiger!

I have wondered if VMWare fusion is involved simply because it sets up a lot of network devices.
VMWare isn't necessary for this to happen, since I've had it happen a few times to me, too, but I don't have any of the Windows stuff: Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare installed.
I think you're right that it's only when I switch from wireless to ethernet. I've had a couple of theories along the way, but each time it happens, things seem to be a bit different, so now I'm not sure.
One interesting thing is that at least once I did manage to get control of the machine (sort of) by logging in via SSH. Because I was in a hurry to get to work, I just shut it down using the Terminal. So I don't know if I could have gotten complete control by killing the login window, for example.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to happen shortly after I've rebooted anyway. Yesterday morning I installed a security update and the new iTunes and QuickTime, which meant a reboot. And last night I got this hang when I was getting the computer ready to go to work today. But before I updated yesterday morning, the uptime was over 30 days. So it's not common for me.
I think, in another post, Gnarlodius mentioned only changing the location via the System Preferences and not having this problem. I may try that for a while.

Acrobat 9 hangs when adding a text box

It seems that any installation of Acrobat 9 I have come across, Acrobat hangs when adding a text box from "Forms>Add or Edit Fields".
I may need to apply an update or two but this problem seems very consistent and reproducable.
I plan on trying Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP to see if it makes any difference, but does anyone have any ideas? OTHER than upgrading to Acrobat X?

Textbox takes few extra seconds to establish himself, but it never hangs for me. Did you tried to click-n-drag to create Textbox?

Acrobat XI hangs when adding a response from distributed form, when specific form field is filled

As the question says, when using the distribute form functionality of Acrobat, it hangs at the step of importing or adding a filled form, when a specific field on the form is filled. It happens whether the tracker automatically detects it when I open the distributed form and asks me to add it, or I manually try to add it in the responses form. Here's the screenshot of when I tried manually adding it. The first line is the one that hangs and is missing all fields except that "Approved" check box. But it's the last field "ApprovedDate" that makes it hangs if it's filled in the form. The Progress dialog just stays there forever and I can't click cancel. When it tries to add it automatically, nothing appears on the screen, the form just stays open and the tracker doesn't come up. I'm on Windows 7, Acrobat XI Pro. I can send you the form if needed.
Edit: I investigated further and there were Java scripts associated with that date field. These would have been added while creating the form in Acrobat; I don't remember how exactly, but I only meant to validate the date format. I've removed all the scripts and reset the desired date format on the field and it seems to work now.

I use Mavericks and Acrobat XI. I haven't had any issues so far.

Acrobat 8 hangs when selecting "Help" menu...

I'm running the latest (all updates as of today) version of Acrobat Pro and the latest version of OS X 10.5.4 on a Mac Pro. Whenever I move my mouse of the Help menu, Acrobat stall I first get the old wristwatch, then the beachball spins. It takes between at least 1-2 minutes before I can do anything again. If I don't just sit there and wait (ie. if I go to another program), I gotta do the whole thing over again.
Anyone else experience this?
I've tried permission repairs, deleted prefs, etc. etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Same problem. Acrobat Pro 8.1 was rock solid under Tiger. Performed an Archive and Install upgrade to Leopard two months ago and have had the same performance issues on a dual 2.3 GHz G5 running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. Click on the Help pull down menu and the OS9 wristwatch appears for 30-45 seconds then transforms into the spinning beachball before the menu displays. When it finally appears the "Activate" option is completely missing. When I select Document/Reduce File Size in a multi-page pdf I get the same OS9 wristwatch and what use to take a few seconds for a 5 or 6 page document can take up to a minute and the processor use in Activity Monitor pegs at +100%. Same result in Safe Boot startup mode or with extensions off or with new user with admin privileges. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and spent 2 entire days trying every combination imaginable and I'm convinced the application itself is hosed. Adobe Tech Support is out of suggestions. Illustrator CS3 works fine except I get the same OS9 wristwatch when it loads. Sad to hear you get the same OS9 wristwatch on a MacPro with no OS9 capability. Call me a fool but I'm upgrading to Acrobat 9 and hope this will resolve these issues.

Acrobat Pro hangs on sign in

Using Windows 7
Acrobat Pro XI trial is just installed, day 1.
I double click to open Acrobat Pro.
It asks me to accept a trial user agreement.
I accept.
It asks me to sign in with my Adobe user ID.
I enter it and sign in.
Acrobat hangs on the loading swirly.
I wait, must close it through Task Manager.
This is my first time installing and using Acrobat Pro. I tried restarting, then I tried using Run as Administrator. Nothing changes.
I only need Acrobat to save a form I made through FormsCentral for an unusual specific job, hence a trial and not license.
Help is greatly appreciated. If I figure this out, I will post the solution.
Thank you.

I left the loading sign alone and after 15 minutes it finally started doing something.
Lesson: Let your program output some sort of log of activity or show delay expectancy, else it just looks broken. 15 minutes on a wait animation, seriously.
