Acrobat 9 pro seems to be damaging files, why?

I tried searching for information. but haven't been able to find a prior discussion that helps.
I have been using acrobat 9 pro on windows vista x64.  I build files by dragging and dropping pages from one file to another.  This is so that instead of having 12 files for a years worth of one bill, I have one.
This has happened more than once, so I did a full scan of my hard drive looking for bad sectors in case the problem was the file being written onto a bad sector.
What happens is that I open a file that has been fine and some of the pages are blank, both the thumbnail and the page.  When this has happened before each re-open produces more blank pages.
The current file is 30,824 K.
Any idea why this happens and what I can do to prevent it?

I am not sure how to do this given what I am  doing. 
Scenario 1:  I have scanned a bunch of pages into a single pdf file and at my leisure move the pages to different files.  Not sure how I would use insert pages in this situation.
Scenario 2:  I open a monthly statement and move the pages into another file containing previous months statements.  Would I have to actually save the file first before I could follow your suggestion?
Is there anyway of determining what fonts I need in order to check if I have them?

To test the font issue, try using insert pages to add a file to another one rather than the drag and drop. There could be a bug in the latter, or just that fonts don't work well with that process, particularly if you do not have the fonts on your system.

  • Acrobat XI Pro and MS Word 2010 file conversion issues

    I have created a photo journal comprised primarily of photo collages and text boxes using Microsoft Word 2010.  Acrobat XI Pro is installed as well.  When I "Save as Adobe PDF" the resulting PDF is missing many - not all - of the text boxes placed on top of the photos, and the some of the photos themselves are "reordered" - the one placed on top moves to the back.  What might be causing this?
    If I select "Save As" and then select the "PDF" option from Word's dropdown menu, the resulting PDF - which is much smaller than the one created by the "Save the Adobe PDF" option - retains all the data in the Word file, in the correct order.
    Note - this did not happen when I was using Acrobat X Pro.  And this  file I am currently working with converted perfectly to an Adobe PDF when I was still using Acrobat X Pro.

    Hi,
    Can you please share your test file because the issue you mention here seems to be file specific?

  • Acrobat X Pro crashed and deleted the file

    I am using Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3 in OS X 10.1.1.
    I was working on a file. Acrobat crashed without warning and reopened. It did not reopen the file. I looked in the Open a Recent File dialog box and in the Recently Opened menu, and my file was not there. I then looked for the file in the OS X Finder, and it appeared there as a blank file, but then--when I highlighted it--the file icon disappeared. I restarted Acrobat, and THIS time the file appeared in the dialog box and the Recently Opened menu, but when I selected it, I got a File Not Found message.
    I also did a search on the entire Mac for my file and it is absolutely gone.
    The problem isn't just this file--it's that it could happen to any file I am working on. The only work-around I have for now is to break large files into smaller parts by extracting the pages, so that if I lose a file, the damage is not as bad. But that's ridiculous.
    This file had been saved. Repeatedly. Didn't make any difference. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I'm not sure the size is right, but this is the sort of thing many people see, so don't be concerned.
    One cause of much bigger size than expected is that, as well as the programs themselves, there are also the information used to install and update.

  • Combine supported files in Acrobat 10 Pro fails for password protected files

    I use Acrobat 10 Pro and wanted to combine a number of pdf-files to one big file.
    It failed because the files in question have a permission password.
    After I bought Acrobat on first creation of a pdf-file I was asked set a password
    for reading and/or modifying it.
    I decided to set no password for reading, but one for modification namely
    <christian-name>.<surname> . I noted this down.
    When I got the error indication after I tried to combine some pdf-files I tried
    to remove the permission password. I was asked my password, but the program
    refuses to take it.
    What can i do, except to scan all the invoved pdf-documents once again, this time
    without any password. It's quite a lot of them.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi thandman,
    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win 7 64 bit, so this may just be the first issue you will encounter.
    Hope this helps,

  • Acrobat 7 Pro won't open some files

    Out of 20 leaflet pdf's saved in Acrobat 7 Pro and uploaded on to a website 6 will not open from the site on my computer. They do open on other machines. Message is Acrobat 7 has stopped working. Any suggestions as to cause of problem will be much appreciated.

    If you are using CS5.5 it isn't part of a subscription to creative cloud (hard to tell if that's what you mean), so you may have a newer version of InDesign installed as well (they are not mutually exclusive). That said, the last patch for CS5.5 was 7.5.3, but it doesn't really matter in this case. That warning indicates the files were saved in a newer version of InDesign and cannot be opened in CS5.5.

  • Is Adobe Acrobat X Pro seems to be a downgrade

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro does not have the editing features I need.  Did I just overwrite my more upgraded version of Adobe Acrobat when I downloaded Adobe Acrobat X Pro from the Creative Cloud?  Please advise.

    I'm moving this thread over to our download/installation forum.

  • Acrobat X Pro - Word 2010 to pdf files

    I just bought AcrobatX to create high quality pdf files from Word2010 files in WIndows 7.
    Unfortunately when I do create them from inside Word using the Acrobat tab, the program crashes!
    However, if I print the same files using  the  Adobe printer, the pdf files are generated. I do not know, however, if the output quality is the same (I select the "press quality" job option).
    Could anyone please clarify this issue? I did buy this software just to obtain pdf files with the highest quality possible (press quality) but it seems it is not what I got.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks again! I have just done what you suggested - no way! Even with everything off, it crahes!
    I will follow your advise  of printing using the Acrobat printer. Yet I face now a new problem!! Some of the figures doesnot show up at all!
    >>>you could post it here for us to take a look
    Please download an example of a Word (2010) file that crashes from here:
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/cEd0ckhhV3JCSnBFQlE9PQ
    In the zip it is also a pdf created by using the Adobe printer. Please take a look at Fig-4-2. It is of bad quality! Any suggestions to improve it? I got just a few (out o a few hundreds)  that bad!.
    I insert figures (made by CorelDraw and exported as WMF) in Word as Insert, Pictures.
    MANY THANKS for you valuable help
    Best

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro ZIP Compression Creates Larger Files

    Hello,
    I made a flyer in InDesign CS 6 which contains a fairly complicated vector image made with Illustrator. When I export to PDF, InDesign creates a file of the size of 26 MB (ish). I then run preflight in Acrobat which finds that the vector image isn't compressed.
    Note that my PDF settings in InDesign are set to bicubic subsampling for colour images that are above 450 px and JPG compression.
    When I tell Acrobat to apply fixes, it tries to apply ZIP compression but the file size is then 38 MB. Could anyone shed light on this for me please? There is obviously something basic about vector images and compression that I am missing.
    It also finds elements that are completely off the board, although I didn't put anything there with InDesign.

    Test Screen Name: After seeing your response I run a little test. I made a PDF straight from Illustrator just using that image then preflighted it and I got the same error.
    I then opened that same PDF in Illustrator, a lot of that artwork was turned into images. I think it's the transparency flattener as I am converting to PDF/X-1A with compatibility for Acrobat 4 (which I should have probably mentioned in the first post but I didn't make the connection between the two). As far as I understand the transparency flattener converts an image into a mix of paths and rasters (according to Adobe's own help files.)
    Preset used for preflight is sheetfed offset CMYK btw.

  • OCR on Acrobat 9 Pro not working - will not explain why.

    I ran the OCR function on multiple 500-page PDF documents for an upcoming project. For the most part, the OCR worked. However, OCR DID NOT work on specific pages within the documents (would usually happen once or twice every few thousand pages). I went back through the PDF documents to try and run the OCR on the individual pages that did not work the first time, and the screen showed the following error: "Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because:". There was nothing else in the error box - no explanation as to why OCR would not work on those individual pages.
    Has anyone else had luck with this problem? I would really appreciate any help I can get.

    Very likely the pages of interest have a least one character of renderable text. This might not be readily seen by you or me but it'd be there.
    Acrobat's OCR will not process a page that has any renderable text.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat 9 Pro won't save bookmarks! Why?

    So this is a really weird thing that's been happening lately: I'll go through a PDF and add a bunch of bookmarks (it's an ebook that's been formatted, but with no chapter bookmarks set up), and I'll save it - and the bookmarks don't get saved! Anything else I do to the file comes through fine, though. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it? Anybody know?

    No security set on the file.

  • Maximum pdf file size (Acrobat 9 Pro)

    Hi,
    Is there a maximum size for pdf's? At work we are trying to save some very large pdf's (between 3 and 4 gig). The reason we are saving them as one file is because the person who wants them had problems navigating between the different pdf's when using the original bookmarked pdf's.
    I have managed to save a 1.5 gig pdf, but any higher and I get an error
    "the file is too big for this operation".
    Windows XP Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro, 2 gig RAM.

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

  • Acrobat X Pro shows "The document could not be printed" error

    I used Acrobat X Pro to open an PDF file and then re-print it to another PDF by Adobe PDF printer. It shown a dialog with "The document could not be printed" message.
    Why do some PDF files occur this error ? How to fix this problem ? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the problem.
    It seems you are unable to print any pdf from Acrobat. You mentioned that you are able to print the same PDFs from iphone and other devices.
    Are you able to print from any other application(e.g. word, notepad) from the same machine where you are seeing the issue. It looks to me that your machine is not able to establish contact with the printer but your other devices are able to.
    Please confirm.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop 7.0.1 will not open .pdf made using Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi:<br /><br />Acrobat 9 Pro can read a .dwg file made by Autocad and turn it into a .pdf.  There are three choices for the pdf standard: none, PDF/A-1b:2005 or PDF/E-1.  I tried all three and in all cases Photoshop 7 complains with:<br /><br />Could not open <file> because it is not the right kind of document.<br /><br />Is there some trick to getting this to work?<br /><br />Have Fun,<br /><br />Brooke Clarke

    Hi Chris:
    ------SOLVED-----
    Sorry, it's my (human) memory. Need to use the Export method of saving the Acrobat as an image.
