Acrobat 9 Standard batch processing

Does Acrobat 9 Standard support batch processing of multipage tiffs? (I want them to have the OCR ability.) I read that you can do it in Acrobat 7 and 8 Pro.

Thank you.

Acrobat 9 Professional Batch Processing Problem

I created a batch sequence to change the Subject under Description to run on selected folders. It ran perfectly in Acrobat 6. In Acrobat 9, when I select run sequence, I have to click OK for each file until it runs on all files in a folder. My output options are the same as Acrobat 6, I'm overwriting existing files and keeping originial name.

> So there is no way to set the batch process to only work on odd or even pages in Acrobat Professional 8?
I don't see any way.

Acrobat Pro X batch processing different in Win 7

Greetings,
My company just completed moving everyone from Win XP to Win 7 (yes, I know, but better late than never). I regularily use Acrobat Pro X to batch process and password protect large numbers of a variety of documents (Word, Publisher, Excel and PowerPoint 2-up printouts.)
Under Windows XP the process was pretty straight forward:
1) Open Acrobat Pro
2) Secect "Batch Process" File -> Create -> Batch Create Multiple files... (a window appears).
3) Drag a large group of documents into the window (you can drag over 50 docs, it doesn't matter), then begin the process (which automatically walks through all the documents and PDFs them.)
4) When the process is complete, open up the Action Wizard File -> Action Wizard -> Select the appropriate action
5) A window appears, drag the PDFs into the window and go. All PDS quickly get the security applied.
Done
With Windows 7 the functionality is different (I really don't know if it is the operating system change or some type of policy change that I am unaware of). The process is far slower because I literally have to PDF and Apply Security to each document one at a time. The process goes like this:
Under Windows 7:
1) Select a group of documents, but NO MORE THAN 15.
2) Drag the documents over the "Acrobat Pro X" icon and launch them this way. Each document created a "temporary PDF". Multiple windows open up, stacked on top of each other.
3) Go to each window individually and first save the file (that way the file name is preserved), then go to the Action Wizard and apply the security. Then close the PDF.
4) Repeat this process for each open window (document).
5) Repeat as necessary until you have the several hundred documents processed.
Literally this is a "hands-on" process for each document. Is there a better way? Am I missing something in the Acrobat or Windows 7 settings?
If I try to batch process the old way under Windows 7 I get a series of error messages for each document. (I can't even get to the action wizard process.)
Any suggestions?
Is there a third party app that will work without having to administer it so much?
Thank you,
TPK

Hi Test Screen Name,
While reproducing the problem I realized I was in error as to how far in the sequence the problem occured. I actually do get as far as batch creating PDF,. The only difference there is that I can no longer "drag and drop" files in the batch create window. I have to use the "Add files..." command in the upper left of the batch create window.
So, the application batch creates the files. Afterward, I use the Action Wizard to batch "Password Protect" the files. It is during this command run that the error occures. (Note: I am trying to save over the old files by having them save to the same directory under the same name, just like I used to be able to do.) The error I get is:
Action Completed.
Saved to: \\HOME\path-to-original-files\
Warning/Errors
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document1.pdf
Output: Name of document1.pdf
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document2.pdf
Output: Name of document2.pdf
The error message loops through all the documents. I don't have the documents open or in use. By default they shouldn't be "read-only". This all did not occure when I previously used the application with Windows XP.
I have not yet tried saving them to a different directory. I will try that later today. (I didn't want to have a lot of versions of the same documents, it tends to be confusing.)
Thank you for your reply,
TPK

Acrobat 8 Professional Batch Processing Problem

When i try to make a batch processing command using Crop Pages the Apply To: drop down box is grayed out.
I need to apply the crop page to the odd pages but because the box is grayed i cannot select this option. Is there something i can do to make the drop down box selectable?

I don't see any way.

Share Batch Processing Sequences?

I have created some Acrobat Pro 9 Batch Processing sequences that I would like to share with others on my team. Is there a way for me to export or copy the sequence and give it to others? I am on a Mac.

try67,
I appreciate your help/answer, but I do not have that path...not sure why. I have Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/ and then the following list of items: Acrobat Distiller.app, Acrobat Uninstaller.app, Adobe Acrobat Pro.app, Bitte lesen.html, Ouvrez-moi.html, ReadMe.html
If I double-click the Adobe Acrobat Pro.app as in your list, it just opens Acrobat. I have tried searching for Sequences, but I only find older Sequences folders from previous versions of Acrobat. I have looked in each of them to see if I could find the custom sequences that I created, but none of them show up. I even did searches based on .sequ file names. Again, my custom ones do not show up in the search but they do exist in my Batch Processing menu.
I have a feeling this might be job for our IT Dept. unless someone else has an idea.
I appreciate your time!
PS. I am wondering if this is an issue with Snow Leopard rather than Acrobat.

Batch processing - "Add comments" metadata?

Greetings,
Using Acrobat Pro while batch processing Word documents, is it possible to add a comment (all at once, to all the documents being processed) to the "properties" of each document?
We review documents several times a year. I'd like to add a "review date" to each document's (metadata) "properties". I'd like to do this while batch processing so that the people actually reviewing the documents don't have to open each individual document's properties and add/change the date.
The review date does not need to be visible on the document itself, but should be in the document's metadata.
Thank you,
Tim Kern

It's possible to convert Word files to PDFs using an Action in Acrobat Pro, and Actions include limited abilities to alter the metadata (though to add a custom value you will need to manually rebuild the XMP data using a JavaScript function).

Can you Batch convert files to pdf's Acrobat 9 standard

i am looking through Acrobat 9 standard and can not see any batch conversion to convert all the files in a folder to PDF's not (combining them) is this something available in other versions pro or extended? or am i just doing it wrong? may a script or something?

There are no batch processes at all in Acrobat 9 Standard. Only Pro or higher has them.

Where's the Advanced|Document Processing|Batch Processing menu gone in Acrobat 11?

I have Acrobat 8.3.1 Professional at work, we're migrating to new machines (Win7) with Acrobat 11 Standard.
I've run into a problem: In 11 Standard, where is the equivalent to the Advanced|Document Processing|Batch Processing menu command from Acrobat 8 Pro??
I have 2 sequences I need to be able to run for docment filing with Court.
Both sequences focus on a specific folder where I put (sometimes quite large) batches of documents converted from Word to PDF.
The 1st sequence goes through however many files are in the target folder. For each file, it turns on the thumbnails, and turns off the menu bar.
I then do some tinkering en mass with them in Acrobat.
Then I run the 2nd sequence, which turns off the thumbnails, and turns the menu bar back on - this is a requirement from Court.
I just started tinkering with Acrobat 11 on my new machine, and the menus seem quite different!
Currently, as each sequence runs, I have to sit there clicking "OK" for each and every file, which is tedious at best! I'd love to find something that'll give me the same functionality, with Acrobat doing all the grunt work!

Ugh. I kinda thought that someone might say this.
Ironically, the same situation arose a couple years ago when we got the machines we're migrating *from* - The Powers That Be thought that 8 Standard would work, and I quickly educated them that "nope, yer gonna hafta spring for me a copy of Pro!"
So, it looks like "here we go again!"
Thanks anyway!
Now I get to cause our purchasing folks NEW grief! I've told them repeatedly that they should REALLY involve me in these purchases, so I can do the pre-purchase research, and save everyone a lot of bother.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - How can I speed up my Batch Processing sequence

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
My company upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9 recently. Now, whenever I run a batch sequence on one 2003 Word file, it takes over 20 minutes - that's one Word doc. Before with version 7, it took only a few minutes.
My Batch Sequence has only one command - the Open Options command.
Question
What can I do to speed up this Batch Processing sequence?
FYI
My Word doc contains no graphic - merely text with a TOC and Index.
PS
My system has 3.50 GB of RAM

I have advanced tagging turned off.
I'm only using these two Word options:
Convert cross-ref and table of contents to links.
Convert footnote and endnote links.

Batch Process for "Enable for commenting in Acrobat 9 pro/Acrobat 8.0 Professional

We had set up a process that every generated PDF through distiller should have "comments enabled" PDF. We have many PDF like this.
Now I'm doing one by one. We just wanted the same to be in Batch Mode.
I just wanted to know that how to do by using "Batch Processing". Much appreciated if any help me out to do this successfully through Acrobat Javascript.

If you are using an Apple computer you can download an Automator service script that I made. It will enable you to select as many, or as few PDFs as you would like to enable comenting in and will automatically enable each PDF to "enable commenting". You can view the tutorial and download the Automator Script here:

Hope this helps.

Acrobat 9 Pro - previous output settings in a batch process keep interfering with new one

I created a batch process for pdf/a conversion. For the output setting, I unchecked the "overwrite" box and added a suffix to the file name.
When I deleted one and recreated a different one, it is still appending that old suffix to the file name and overwriting the old file.
Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Acrobat 9 Pro), the batch processes I had created before were still there, hence the problem remains.
How do I delete these files so I can start over? Tech support didn't solve the problem and having a hard time getting through.

Hi,
User created *.sequ files are stored:
Vista –
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Sequences
XP –
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<6.0> or <7.0> or 8.0> or <9.0>\Sequences
It may be worth a search for all *.sequ files on the HDD to be sure you know where all of them are.
Sounds like old ones were not removed by uninstall & with re-install, Acrobat is picking them up.
Be well...

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when running batch process to remove metadata

I am attempting to run a batch process to remove metadata from all documents within a folder. Only one or two documents will process before Acrobat crashes. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Winword.exe process starts at startup after installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard

I installed Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Dell Latitude D610 running Windows XP Service Pack 3. Every time the machine is started up, Winword.exe appears in the Processes tab of task manager using up to 100% of the CPU. Word itself does not open. If I cancel the Winword.exe process, CPU usage drops to more usual levels. Starting Word also pushes CPU usage up to 100%. This did not occur before Acrobat X was installed. I used System restore to restore to a point before Acrobat was installed and the problems with Word did not occur. Re-installed Acrobat X and the problems re-appeared. System restore back to a previous point and the problems disappeared. I am using Word 2000.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.

I don't believe Acrobat X supports Word 2000. There could be some strange incompatibility. Since you have a bright and shiny Acrobat X, maybe its time to update Word and Windows, if for no other reason that the more modern versions are much more secure.
