Acrobat icon in dock bouncing when pdf file is minimized

Often when I have a pdf open, and minimize it so it goes in the dock, the Acrobat icon will start bouncing up and down for attention. Why does it do this annoying thing?

I have version 8.1.2 and I still get the bouncing dock icon when a pdf is minimized. Even if I haven't minimized it, and it is just not the currently active app, the dock icon still bounces. What's the deal?

Acrobat 5.05 Distiller not Producing .pdf Files

When I first purchased Acrobat 5.05 and installed it, to produce a .pdf file from an application, I printed the file from the application choosing Acrobat Distiller as the printer. This prompted for a file name and location. When the OK button was clicked, Acrobat 5.05 launched, and the .pdf file appeared, and was able to be saved. No other steps were needed.
Now when I attempt to do this, the application indicates that it is printing, but Acrobat 5.05 does not launch, and no .pdf file is produced in any folder.
Re installing Acrobat 5.05 does not correct the problem.
What needs to be done, to make this version of acrobat distiller operate as it originally operated?

Normally it is only needed if you are requesting a PS file that may be sent to someone else and they do not have the fonts OR if you are printing another PDF that had embedded fonts that you do not have one your system. Otherwise, Acrobat will go to find the fonts on your system as per the distiller font list.
The print to file is the most fundamental PDF creation process in AA 5. All of the other options build on it. The repeating the process, but unchecking the print-to-file button. In that case a PS file will be created by the print driver (directed to the Adobe PDF port or such -- I would have to go to my other machine to check the name for sure, but should be obvious unless it is missing) and then AcroTray is supposed to recognize that the file exists and then run distiller in the background. PDF Maker is just a front end processor for the Acrobat Distiller printer. Note that the name has since been changed since folks got the print driver confused with the program Distiller. They did the same change in name to Reader since folks keep thinking they had Acrobat when they only had the Reader. (At least that is my take on their reasons that I have not really seen.)
AcroTray is found in the Distiller folder. It should be in the startup folder of Win XP, listed as Acrobat Assistant. If you look at the running processes with ctrl-alt-del, it should be listed (just click on the program columns to get an alphabetic list). If it is not running, then start it. If it is running and you are having problems, then try ending it and then restarting it from the Distiller folder (just double click on the program).
Also, be aware that unless you change a preference in Distiller, the settings you pick in the Acrobat Distiller printer properties will over ride those of Distiller for the most part. And any changes you make in the printer properties from within a program will over ride the default printer properties, but will not be carried over to the next use of the program -- the defaults will again be loaded. So if you want a particular default setting, use the Start>Printers>Acrobat Distiller (right click for properties) to set the default properties. I never use the standard job settings for instance, but always use something like the press or print settings that embed all fonts. I reality I use a job settings created by a publisher.
So all I am trying to step you through are the basic trouble shooting steps that are necessary to get your system working. Finding where the problem is becomes the first step. We now know that you can print-to-file and produce a PDF with Distiller. Actually, I loaded AA5 on a Win7 Starter system and was able to create PDFs using this process. The AcroTray from AA5 does not work in Win7. Actually, for Win7, I just tried it by changing the port to File and so I don't even have to check the print-to-file button. That was really more of a test to see what broke, and I was surprised that it even installed on the 32-bit netbook. My guess is it may not work at all on a 64-bit system. However, on XP, your AA5 should work fine once we trace down the culprit.

Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA

Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA
Hi: I am trying to find a call to set the password of a PDF file that I am creating from Excel Workbook using a VBA call.
I basically have this Excel VBA code that works fine and creates a file.
            pBook.PrintOut Copies:=1, preview:=False, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF", _
                           PrintToFile:=True, collate:=True, PrToFileName:=PSFileName
            ' Convert the postscript file to .pdf
            Dim myPDF As PdfDistiller
            Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller
            myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, "", ""
BUT, I need to set the password on this PDF file and do not see an option to do so.
Can you provide a solution for this situation? Appreciate your response in advance.
Thanks.

There is no way to set password programmatically using any other dll or any other kit?
I am creating a bunch of PDF files for users programmatically but then they have to go in and set password themselves? This is very inconvenient for users.

Unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error"

unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error" Please help

A lot of the time the files can not be combined because of incompatible fonts, or at least font sets that could not be resolved. Maybe that will give you some direction to look at.

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it?

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it to xls file without the need for much changes or manual work?

Acrobat X (Standard and Pro) will save tabular data to XLS or XLSX format, provided it can recognize the table as being a table. If the PDF has missing or incorrect structure tags, Acrobat will try to guess the table layout by the position of text and lines on the page - this works well for basic formatting but if the table has complex styling, spanned cells etc. it can lead to problems.
Acrobat X will even attempt to export a table within a scanned document, by applying OCR during the export stage - though again this relies on the table being visually identified.
See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/pdf-to-word-excel-converter.html and this article on how to extract one table from a larger document.

Labview6.1 hangs on windows 98 when using adobe acrobat control for activex to open pdf file

I downloaded the attached vi from this forum and it works perfectly in windows XP with the same version of labview(6.1) and adobe acrobat reader (6.0). However, it hangs immediately when i am just trying to open the vi on windows 98....
I have also experimented with the MS browser activex control(activex container + object), it works on both windows XP and 98 for opening html files and on XP, it can open a link that leads to an PDF file display properly in the container window but it fails again in 98.
Please help ...... thanks

Acrobat pro 9 won't open pdf files

Just downloaded trial version of pro 9 for Mac. I tried to install pro 8 and found out that it is not compatible with snow leopard. The uninstall in version 8 is also not compatible with snow leopard. So I had all kinds of trouble uninstalling version 8. This may be the problem. I finally got version 8 off the Mac but the uninstall may not be complete. I installed version 9 and I'm having all the same problems that I did after I installed 8.
The uninstall of version 9 worked and I tried reinstalling it. Still won't open a pfd file. The main problem is that I get the following error when I click on a pdf file.
"The document “5 Chptr 2010.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."
What do I need to do to get version 9 to work????
Also when I click on the Acrobat icon in my tray the program does not launch. All I get is the menu bar at the top of my screen. On my windows machine when I open acrobat I get the "wizard" screen that allows me to select what tasks I want to do. And when I try to create a pdf file from a msoffice word document it won't allow me to convert the document. I get the following error message.
"Acrobat could not open 'This is a test document.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."

Hi rms,
Have you installed Acrobat X and XI Pro both on the same Mac.
Adobe doesn't recommend coexixting different versions of the same software.
Please remove both the versions and install any one of them and then check.
Also make sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest patch.
For 10 it's v 10.1.9 and for 11 it's v11.0.6

Acrobat Pro won't open a PDF file.

I know this isn't a Mac question but I've been to Adobe and they are no help. I have PDF files that were created by Acrobat Pro that will not open when I click on the file icon yet, if I open the Acrobat program it will open the file. This is annoying. Has any one experienced this and is there a solution?

Thanks, your response helped. I knew Preview was the default for PDF files but I had changed that (using Get Info) but I failed to notice two important items. (1) The "Change All" button and (2) the "lock icon down in the lower right part of the window. Once I reselected Acrobat as the "opening" program, selected "Change All", AND unlocked the window so that changes would be incorporated, and OH, I even threw in a restart, everything works as expected. Picky, Picky, Picky.
Thanks again.

Why my Mac freeze when PDF files in the FINDER

I have that problem since yesterday: when I try to either select or even just view the content of a folder with PDF files in it, my Mac freeze progressively after few seconds. Then, the only solution is to force quit by holding the power button. Really annoying! What should I do? My computer is only 4-5 months old.
I've uninstalled Acrobat, verified all my drives with Disk Utility, repaired my permissions and emptied my library cache. Nothing... Could it be the recent Firefox update ( yesterday )? Until 24 hours ago, everything was fine.
Thanks for the help!

Since this is happening in the Finder... try this:
Locate this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
If that didn't do the job, do a Spotlight search and look for any .pdf files you have downloaded and saved and DELETE them. Somewhere in your system you have a corrupted .pdf file.
And, check the hard disk. Even if you've done this already, try again:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
Also, the best way to have Apple be aware of these issues is to send them crash reports. Here's how to do that:
Reporting problems to Apple
When an application quits unexpectedly, you see a dialog that gives you the option to submit a report about the problem, called a “bug report,” to Apple.
When you submit a bug report to Apple, it includes information about the problem and your computer’s configuration. Many problems are directly attributable to the hardware and software configuration.
No personal information is gathered about you or your computer. No information that can be used to identify your computer is sent, such as volume names, network addresses, or hardware addresses. For more information, click the link at the bottom of the page to see Apple’s customer privacy policy.
To submit a bug report to Apple:
Connect to the Internet.
In the dialog that appeared when the application quit, click the Submit button.
Type a description of what you were doing when the application quit. List the applications that were open when the problem occurred, and any steps or hints to reproduce the problem.
Review the report in the Crash Report window.
Click “Send to Apple” to submit the report.
You won’t receive an immediate response, but Apple greatly appreciates your taking the time to submit a bug report. As the software is revised, these reports are reviewed to help improve the software.
Your computer also records details about the problem in a log file. You can use log files to troubleshoot problems with an application, or you can send a log to the application’s developer if it is requested.
You can view the logs in Console, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.

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
Edmundo

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
Edmundo

Acrobat Javascript button not loading when PDF is opened in browser

We have a requirement to have a custom print button in Acrobat Reader 9.1.3. We've created this via a JavaScript file stored in the users application data Adobe javascript folder. The button appears when Acrobat is started up normally and works as expected. However when opening a pdf file via Internet Explorer 7 acrobat is loaded inside the browser but the button does not appear automatically. Instead we need to right click on the tool bar and select Add on tools for the button to appear. Once loaded it works as expected.
Now I was wondering is there a way to make the button to appear automatically when acrobat is launched from within IE as my users are getting a bit annoyed now. I've been searching all over the place and can't find a solution to this.
Am hoping someone here might have an idea as to what the problem might be. I've attached the code I'm using below.
Thanks in advance
app.addToolButton({
cName: "myToolButton",
cExec: "printGreen()",
cEnable: true,
cTooltext: "Print to Green",
cLabel: "Print to Green"
global.objDoc = this;
printGreen = app.trustedFunction (
function()
app.beginPriv();
var objPrintParams = this.getPrintParams();
objPrintParams.printerName = "\\\\burns\\prn-cash-copier";
objPrintParams.interactive = objPrintParams.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
this.print(objPrintParams);
app.endPriv();

OK... I'm still puzzled. There seems to be something else that controls whether Acrobat JavaScript runs or not.
If I'm loading a pdf stream though a http GET, JavaScript in Acrobat is run even when the setting in Edit->Preferences is disabled.
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "http://<some servlet that returns a pdf stream>" />
</body>
If I'm loading the pdf from a file...
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "<pdf file path>" />
</body>
... the expected warning (that Adobe javascript is disabled) pops up
The http response in the first case is something like...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Acrobat XI suddenly fails to open PDF files

I have installed Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 7 computer. It has worked perfectly well for several weeks but from shutting down the computer last Thursday and starting this morning, I am unable to open any PDF files or open the Acrobat application. Creating PDF files from other applications such as Office still works but I cannot open these files nor any others to view them. No other changes were made to the system between working and failure. I have tried a repair from the disk and a re-install following an Adobe clean but nothing has changed. I wonder if this is anything to do with the expiry of the trial period which is how I originally installed XI before I purchased a disk with serial number.

Hi elyP,
The expiry of the trial has nothing to do with this as you can simply enter the purchased serial number to convert the trial into full version.
Is Acrobat updated to the latest patch v11.0.09?
Do you get any errors when you try to open a pdf?
Regards,
Rave
