Acrobat 9 Standard Combine Feature Issue

Has anyone had an issue with "set new destination" appearing in the menu pulldown after combining pdf's in acrobat 9 standard using the combine feature?
I use the combine into a single pdf feature to build manuals.  These manuals are often updated and I need to reassign a bookmark to a new page.  With past versions (i.e. version 6 which didn't have the combine feature), I was able to move to the new page, right click on the bookmark, and select "set new destination" 
Funny thing is abobe's help files tell me to do that or go to the bookmark options icon and select "set new destination" but you can't select something that is not there.
This only happens with pdf files that I combined using this combine feature in version 9.  I can bring up old manuals in version 9 and find this selection "set new detination" available when I right click on the bookmark.
Any help would be appreciated

My mistake it is "set destination" in standard not "set new bookmark" as I orginally stated.   I see this option only when I go to a previously built book or I manually create bookmarks in version 9.  The issue I have is I don't see "set destination" when I use the "combine" (merge files into a single pdf) feature in acrobat 9 to build the book.  It seems like it doesn't recognize them the same way as building them manually. I have a friend that has Pro. He is going to run a test for me. I'll let you know how it turns out.
He also thought it might have something to do with tagged verses not tagged bookmarks and that this combine feature maybe combining them as tagged bookmarks.  Neither one of us knows much about tagged bookmarks so we weren't sure.

  • Acrobat Standard Markup numbering issue

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 and am having issues with the markup function.
    Whenever I add a comment or mark-up, I get a small sequential number next to it (and sometimes obscuring the text as well).
    It is also in the printout.
    Any way I can turn the display off?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried your suggestion but no luck.
    I am uploading a screen print for your information.
    You can see the small numbers to the top left of each mark-up.
    Anything you can do to help is much appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI print issue

    When opening a PDF in internet explorer, adobe acrobat won’t read pre chosen print driver settings.
    When using acrobat stand alone, not in internet explorer, it does read the print settings.
    Specifically the issue is you set up print driver as single sided print under finishing.
    Only when you open PDF in IE, does acrobat choose 2 sided, it doesn’t read your single side setting under finishing.
    This does not happen for adobe reader by itself, with no acrobat. If acrobat is installed in addition to adobe reader, it still happens for acrobat.
    Windows 7 64bit Enterprise
    Internet Explorer - 10.0.9200.16897
    Adobe Reader XI - 11.0.3
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - 11.0.0 also tried update to 11.0.09

  • Acrobat XI - combine feature

    I have a paid account for Acrobat XI. The combine documents into one feature is missing. I have the other features of the paid account.

    There isn't any compatibility issue with Office 2013 and Combine should work with office 2013 same as it with 2010.
    Can you please tell us some more details so that we can investigate the problem which you are facing:
    1) Please update the exact Acrobat version you are using. This you can find out via "Help -> About Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.." Version should be something like 11.0.x. If it is not 11.0.7, then please update it to 11.0.7 and try again.
    2) Is this problem you faced recently (after some update - Acrobat or OS update) or it never used to work earlier for you?
    3) You mentioned that when combining, it convert first document only. Can you please let us know how many documents you are combining and what are those formats?
    4) Also please update about you environment as well. Is you Operating System and MS Office 32bit or 64bit?
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat Standard XI features stopped working after upgrading MS Office

    We recently upgraded MS Office from 2007 to MS Office 2013 on one of our PCs that is running Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. The convert to pdf and combine to pdf functions are now generating an error when attempting to convert an excel file to a pdf that states "Sorry, we couldn't find Adobe PDF converter.xlsx. Is it possible it was moved, renamed, or deleted?" I have tried searching google, but cannot find any info on this. I have run a repair of Adobe but it has not resolved the issue. Has anyone else encountered this yet?

    I'm sorry. I just got caught up in the moment (happens to the best of us!) I'm just JefConners put his best foot forward. Can't get mad at someone for reaching out for help! Cheers everyone.
    JefConners it's been 3 days and you still have not marked this as an answer. Please proceed accordingly.

  • Acrobat Standard XI deployment issue

    Hi all,
    I have trouble deploying Acrobat Std XI in our corporate environment via SCCM 2012.
    Prior to the deployment I always apply the latest update via an administrative install (AIP).
    It used to work with older versions of the Reader and Acrobat.
    It also works with Adobe Reader 11 without any issues but I can't get it to work with Acrobat Std XI.
    I first create an administrative installation (AIP)
    msiexex /a AcroStan.msi
    I then apply the latest update:
    msiexex /a AcroStan.msi /p AcrobatUpd11010.msp
    This all works without any issues.
    I edit some settings with Adobe Customization Wizard XI.
    When I then try to install the software with or without the MST it fails.
    At the end I receive "Installation Interrupted".
    I then tried to apply an earlier update (11.0.02) also without problems.
    The installation of Acrobat seems successful but I cannot start Acrobat.
    Every time I start the application the Windows Installer starts to run and nothing happens.
    The shortcut also doesn't have the Acrobat icon.
    All prerequisites are installed.
    I've also tried to install it with the switch IGNOREVC10RT 1, even though this is not necessary as this prerequisite is already installed.
    I have a log file as well:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26384367/acrobat.log
    (removed license information from log file)
    I always did it like this and it was never an issue, but it doesn't work this time.
    I've tried to install it on different computers. On x86 and x64 systems...
    Any help appreciated
    Thx

  • Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6).  I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form."  What's wrong?  (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now).  It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document).  Please, someone, anyone, help!  I think I got a bad batch of software here.  Any suggestions?  If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case?  Is this software under warranty?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your email.  The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file.  It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time.  I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file.  I tried to repairing the software but it does not help.  Any other suggestions?  Is this version of software defective?  I really need this feature.  I look forward to your reply.  Thanks.

  • When combining pdfs, the 1st page of the first file is lost (acrobat standard 9.4)

    Hi,
    When i combine two files in acrobat 9.4, the process loses the 1st page of the first file. I have to manually copy in the missing page from the original.
    Does anyone have any workarounds/fixes?
    The process used to work ok with adobe acrobat standard v7.0.8.
    The two files are PDF 1.4 and PDF1.5 standards.
    Thanks
    Raj

    I am not very clear at which step you are facing issue. Below is the sequence in order to scan more pages from Acrobat:
    1. Launch Acrobat. Click menu File->Create PDF->From Scanner....
    2. "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear. Select your scanner installed in Scanner dropdown. Check 'Prompt for scanning more pages' checkbox as you want to scan more than one page. Click Scan button in "Acrobat Scan" dialog.
    3. Now scanner UI will appear. Make setting like color mode/resolution and click Scan button(or may be Accept button) in this dialog. (This is scanner specific ui)
    4. After this scanning will happen and "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear with "Scan is Complete" and "Scan more pages" option.
    5. Select "Scan more pages" option and click OK in this dialog to scan more pages.
    6. Now again scanner UI will appear as in step 3 above. Make your settings and proceed.
    Do you see scanner UI or "Acrobat Scan" dialog in step6? Are you not able to click Scan(or Accept) button in scanner UI?

  • Trouble combining files in Acrobat Standard X

    We are trying to combine existing PDF's into a single PDF "packet" file.  However, we are running into issues where Acrobat is displaying an error/warning of "Please remove problem files from the list or choose the Portfolio option."  The "problem files" appear to be those with a Warnings/Errors message of "Adobe XML forms cannot be ...".  User encountering error has indicated they believe there may be some issues with these PDFs having been created via LiveCycle.  They include a field with a drop-down menu that allows you to choose a value which in turn adds a different company logo to the final document based on your selection.  We didn't have these issues with Acrobat Standard 8... only since upgrading to X. 
    We're looking at purchasing a number of licenses for multiple users to be able to use Acrobat, but we don't want to purchase if it's not going to allow us to combine these documents which is a big reason we were looking to purchase in the first place.  Thanks in advance for any help working around or correcting this issue.

    So, my understanding is that the Portfolio option isn't available in Standard.  Are there any workarounds to accomplish this in Standard, such as saving the documents in another format?  Or is our only option to bite the bullet and purchase Pro?

  • Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 Printing Issues

    Hi Forum People,
    I am having an issue with Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 on a Server 2003 Terminal Server.
    When users try to print PDF files they first get the following error:
    The Document Could Not be Printer
    Next they get:
    No Pages Were Selected
    I have checked some web articles and the sguuestions were to apply the latest updates or to print the files as an image.
    I already have the latest updates and the print as an image did not work
    Can anyone make any other suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Having the exact same issues hear.  Haven't been able to find a fix for it anywhere.  It has the be the last update.  Going to check if I can roll back to the previous update.

  • Bring back PDF Portfolio option to Acrobat Standard!

    We are refreshing some department computers with newer models through Dell.  These new computers come with Adobe Acrobat X Std on them.  This works fine for most people until today.  Our one department had their older XP computers replaced with new Win 7 machines and Adobe Acrobat X standard.  They were dependant on a feature to right click on a bunch of PDFs and combine them.  They need the portfolio option because a regular combine will overwrite values in forms because "they have the same name".  This worked fine on the OLD machines with Adobe 9.5 Standard.
    So on the new computers with Acrobat X Standard, this portfolio option is gone!  This is needed for their job!
    Now I am scrambling to deactivate and uninstall X standard from the new computers ,and deactivate and uninstall 9.5 from the old ones.  Using Belarc Advisor to obtain the product key, I can reinstall it on the new computers, along with running all the umpteen patches to get 9.0 back up to the latest version.  Not only that but the right click context menu is gone, so I had to research that and find the command to get it back -> regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
    After doing some research it seems you have to spend extra money on a X or XI "professional" version, just to get a feature that was included in 9 STANDARD.  Shopping around the best price I could find was over at NewEgg for $120.  Multiple that by the people who need it, were looking at good amount of money to get back a single feature we had before!
    So were going right back to Acrobat 9 standard because it does what we need it to do.  My plea to adobe is to bring back the portfolio feature!  Either that or don't screw up the contents of forms in a standard combine!
    Is this the latest trend that new versions of software are designed to take away features or functionality that people depend on?  I mean even Windows 8 takes away the start menu (I know there's freeware to get it back).  Please don't stoop to Microsoft's level and remove thign's people depend on.

    We are also going through some of the issues with Acrobat standard being gutted. In acrobat 9 standard we have some processes that used a function called "Export Multiple Files.." This allowed you function through a wizard to select as many files of many file types as you wanted and export them to a ton of file formats. I use this on a daily basis and now i am being told it is not available in the standard version. If i buy the PRO version it is available, but what will keep Adobe from from removing this from the Next version of PRO and call that PLATNUM or somthing. This not the way to treat long time customer who pay for and have developed many process using the tool. It is also sad to learn that Portfolio option is no longer available. We will have to go back to 9 until they figure this out. What a massive screw up.

  • Acrobat standard 8 and Adobe Reader X

    Good afternoon all,
    I am having an issue with users who are using Adobe Reader X who want to digitally sign PDF's. From researching this I found that I have enable the Reader usage rights on the document which can be done from Acrobat. All the forums I have read on this are using Acrobat Pro rather than Standard 8 which I have. When I go to the advanced options to enable these usage rights the option is not there. I am wondering if I am missing something or if this feature is not included in standard. If the option is there does anyone know the steps toe nable this so I may sign the PDF's from the users machines which have Adobe Reader X. Any help would be much appreaciated.
    Thanks!

    So Acrobat Standard does not allow you to do this?

  • Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 Known Bugs

    The Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 update broke highlighting the first occurrence of  search text on each page and the ability to select multiple pages from  the thumbnail Page viewer while holding Ctrl down.  Both of these commonly  utilized features work fine on Acrobat 10.  I submitted a bug report online for the former issue.  When are these going to be fixed?  How is it that they work fine on Acrobat 10?  If you are not going to perform basic testing of very common features like searching for text, then please make it possible to uninstall updates to the previous level.

  • The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text in Acrobat Standard, but works fine in Reader

    Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13, Win 7 64bit, 
    The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text. 
    This is not a scanned document.  When I search for some word that DOES exist in the document, Acrobat will highlight text that does not match at all and which does NOT contain the word.  If I select the actual word, copy and past the text, I get the selected text accurately, but when I paste the same selected text into the Find box to search for it, Acrobat still mis-finds. 
    HOWEVER, I can open the very same .PDF file in Acrobat Reader X and do not have the same problem - Find works correctly in Reader with the same .PDF. 
    What is going on?!  Both Acrobat standard, and Reader report that they are up to date.   Please help.

    Can you try rasterizing (converting the document to tiff/bmp) and then importing those image files (tiff/bmp) back in Acrobat.
    This would allow document to be re-OCRed and you will be able to search text in it. You can use lossless export/import settings to preserve the quality of ducment.
    For exporting the file:
    1: Go to File > Save As Other > Image > Tiff.
    2: Click on Settings button in the Save As Dialog and set the file settings as ZIP for Monochrome, Grayscale and Color.
    Now for importing the files back:
    1: Press Ctrl + K
    2: In the Preferences dialog, select Convert To PDF option in Categories.
    3: Choose tiff or bmp (as per the format used while exporting) and un-check Scan Optimization and OCR.
    4: Set Color and Grayscale to Zip and Monochrome to CCITT G4.
    5: Save the settings.
    6: Now import all the pages in Acrobat.
    7: You can use Combine Files feature to merge all the image files.

  • Text Edit Tool icon missing in Acrobat Standard X

    Hi,
    In Acrobat 8 Standard, when I click "Text Edit Tool" icon, I can start insert, delete or replce text comments without re-click any  "insert", "delete" or "replace" icon in the Text Edit Tool until I press"Esc" key. 
    I just install Acrobat Standard X these days, It moved the commenting annotation to the right panel with those fancy icons.  Looks great!  However, I have to click on the "Insert", "delete" or "replace" icon on every action.  I am wondering if Acrobat remove the great feature or I am missing something? 
    p.s.  Just found ouy it is called "Text Correction Markup" in Acrobat Reader XI.  I can't image paid Acroabat Standard X has less feature than Acrobat Reader XI.  Hopefully, Adobe can have a Update to add the "accidentally removed" feature back to Standard X.
    Thanks

    Is there no response from Adobe? It's a serious issue that this useful tool was removed (or hidden?) in Adobe X.
    I use Acrobat for collaboration for much of my work, and it's a significant burden to have to click on each tool individually.
