Acrobat Locks up when applying redactions

I have Adobe Pro. 9.2. When I tell the program to apply the redactions I have made, it just sits and spins... I have to, eventually, right click on the instance in the task bar to close the program. I installe updates, and it still does it. Please help!!!

Good day Byrdie,
After deleting the ARM folder, the update should work. If you still have difficulty applying updates via the updater, you can do it manually here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Unfortunately both update methods are fairly time-consuming as with Acrobat 9, updates must be applied sequentially.
Kind regards,

Acrobat 9 crashing when applying security

Acrobat 9 has suddenly started crashing when I try to apply or remove security from a doc. This has only occurred in last few days. I tried to uninstall, to re-install, but cannot uninstall, it just stops. Tried a 'repair' again it crashes Any ideas?

If your trying to do so through Reader, you need to go into Acrobat to advanced menu and choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader.
I was able to go in Acrobat 9.3.0 and file out form
Form is Okay on my screen the logo appears to be scrunched in a Little the Line are jagged as well as the text incated they were not cut down propotionally.

When I Apply Redaction to the selected area the area is redacted, however the rest of the doc becomes unreadable. Is there a fix for this?

FYI - I am using Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.13
If I convert a MS Word Document to a PDF file the Redaction works fine without affecting the rest of the document.
The problem I am describing below only seems to happen on documents that have been scanned to PDF from my Lanier Copier/Printer/Scanner/Fax machine MP C3502. I purchased the Adobe PDF software for the machine so that I could scan from the machine directly to my computers. The scan arrives onto both of my computers, no problem. I can open them and print them with no problems. Both Computers have Acrobat Pro X software on them.
Here is what I do:
1. I receive an Invoice in the mail
2. I scan it at 600dpi from my Lanier machine to my computers
3. I open the scanned PDF doc on my computer
4.I select Save As and give the doc a name
5. I open the Tools and go to Protection
6. I select Mark for Redaction
7. I select the area I want Redacted
8. I Apply Redaction
9. I answer, Yes to the pop up window asking me if I want to Apply the Redaction
10. Another pop up window confirms the Redaction is successful
11. At this point I can see that the Redaction had occurred however the rest of the document appears washed out and I cannot read any other information on the document. Thing such as bar codes or header in color all seem to be fine but all the type is washed out and unreadable. I normally use Black for my redaction color however I have tried using other colors and I get the same effect.
When I first installed the Acrobat Pro X software a few years ago I never had any problems, I recently began updating the Acrobat software a few months ago and now I have this problem,
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,

Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you. Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Make it a great day.

Can't apply redaction! Problem reading this document (16) Acrobat 9 pro

I am trying to apply redactions to sensitve data. I go through all the steps, mark it for reaction etc.. but when I click to "apply redaction", I get the error message "There was a problem reading this document (16). I can't find an answer to this anywhere!
The file I'm using originated from a CD sent to me from our retirement administrators. There are no restrictions on what I can do with the files.
I've tried this on 3 different computers, using both Acrobat 9 Pro (with most current updates) and Acrobat 10 Pro and I always get the same error message. Even when I extract one page, rename it and try to manually redact (without using search and redact), I still get the same message.
Any ideas??? I really need to redact social security numbers!
Thanks
I'm using windows 7 pro if that helps...

Can't believe I didn't think of that! It worked!
Thanks!

Apply Redaction warning. Can this be disabled in Acrobat Pro 9?????

Using Acrobat Pro 9
"You are about to permanently redact all content that has been marked for redaction......". Can I disable "Apply Redaction" warning????? Have tried using the method described for Acrobat X which suggests:
Edit - Preferences - Documents: Enable "Adjust filename when saving applied redaction marks". Using the Suffix: _Redacted but warning still pops up every time you click the Apply Redactions button.

This is the bare minimum script to be placed in a folder-level JavaScript file is:
app.addToolButton({
    cName: "ApplyRedactionsSilently",
    cLabel: "Apply Redactions",
    cExec: "ToolbarButton_applyRedactions(this);",
    cEnable: "event.rc = app.doc;"
var ToolbarButton_applyRedactions = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) {
    // Apply any redations that have been added
    app.beginPriv();
    doc.applyRedactions({cProgText: "Please wait while redacting..."});
    app.endPriv();
Note that this doesn't include the code to automatically save, which can be dangerous since applying redactions cannot be undone.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 Redactions apply on all pages of document

When I redact text on the first page of a document, the redaction marks appear on every other page of the document, I can not find a way to apply the redactions to only one page. I am trying to figure out how to have the redactions just appear on one page.

Thank you for the suggestion. In my redaction properties menu, I do not see the option to uncheck 'Apply to All Pages' here is what my redaction properties look like:

Redaction problem - when applied, boxes are created on all other pages

We are redacting PDFs converted from PowerPoint. When we apply redactions, a block of color the same size and location of each redaction appears on every page. There is no background on the documents. I created redactions of different colors, and those different colors showed up on all pages when the redactions were applied.
We can find no explanation or fix. A workaround is to make the redaction color white which blends into our document but we want to not have the blocks show up. There is a forum question from 2012 with this question but no answer.

We are having the same problem as well. It does appear to be document specific and is reproducible. Could someone kindly look into this?

When I apply redaction, a white line partially appears around redacted area

I’m hoping you can help me figure out an issue. I created a redaction action wizard in Pro X (Windows 7 Ultimate) to change the name of the month for 280+ client reports. I use a new copy of the master file each month (the month always being redacted is "september", the month with the most characters).
The problem is that when I redact on a color background (using the matching color overlay), I get a fine thin white line that goes only across the top and right side of where the redaction box was (see below). Nothing across the bottom or left side – pretty close color match. The original files were created in Illustrator CS5.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you. Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well. I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes. The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location. I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

Mail.app locks up when opening a mail with an attachment

Hopefully someone has run into this before. Our Mac users connect to exchange using IMAP. However, the Intel based users have their mail app lock up when they receive an email with an attachment. So for I havn't been able to find any info on the web, and the non-specific instructions I've found for general maintenance of mail.app have not lead to a resolution either.
So far I've definitely narrowed it down to the Intel based users. Which is a problem because the non-intel users will be switching fairly soon. The general maintenance items I have tried include indexing the mail envelope, I gave one a reboot, but since it did not fix the problem did not try to restart the rest.
The mail.app version varies but is occurring in but most (working and non) are version 2.1.3, one is 2.1.1.

Ok, so since posting the original question I still have no resolution. Over the weekend I have applied all updates and am ruling out the server. Have setup exchange for POP3 access and setup a workstation to pop the mail over but it still hangs up mail.app. I have also attempted setting the client up for "exchange mode".
All of our intel based systems freeze when a message with an attachment is opened. The file types range from pdf (created with both acrobat and cutepdf) to illustrator documents.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...

Acrobat 7 freezes when combining multiple files

I'm running Acrobat 7 Standard, and whenever I attempt to combine multiple PDF files acrobat will freeze up completely. It can scan, and add pages to an open document with no trouble. It will freeze whether I choose Create PDF From Multiple Files within acrobat, or if I select multiple files in windows explorer, then right click and choose Combine in Acrobat...
I have cleared temporary files, repaired the program, and completely reinstalled the program. Even after a fresh reinstallation, it will lock up when trying to combine multiple files. It does everything else just fine.
I am running a HPCompaq dc5100 MT, with Windows XP Pro. I have 2GB ram, and a P4 3.2Ghz processor. I also have a database program called Laserfiche that I run, though this problem occurs whether I have Laserfiche open or not. I've already tried killing all acceptable processes (minus adobe's of course) and recreated the error. I've also tried this with the most recent update 7.1.0 and without: both yeild the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,
I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
=> When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
=> Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
=> I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
=> then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker)

How do I get into my iPhoto app on my Mac. It says it's locked and when I put in my apple password it tells me it is not valid and locks me out.

How do I get into my if app? It says it's locked and when I put i my apple password it tells me it is to valid and locks me out. I tell it to repair it and it still doesn't work. I never changed it and I assume it should be the same as my apple password. Can some one please help me?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
what is the exact message? A screenshot of the message window would suffice.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

How do we permanently stop MASS_CRM_* and R3AD_* locks from being applied??

Good afternoon Experts,
How do we permanently stop MASS_CRM_* and R3AD_* locks from being applied in CRM? We have several jobs that run weekly to download information from R/3 to CRM. The information only takes a few minutes to download into CRM, however the blocks are applied during the middle of the night, and cause backups within our system.
Queue name R3AD_SCE also becomes blocked as well during these downloads.
How do we stop these from being applied, without manually having to go into R/3 to remove during the middle of the night?
We currently are on CRM 4.0. The only notes that I found regarding this problem was for 3.0 - 3.5.
Thank you for your help!
Jami

Thank you very much for your reply.
We are running a job created to download all materials from R/3 into CRM, using SAP program SMOF_DOWNLOAD with variant of material. I believe the locks are coming on as this is a load. However, the job only takes about 15 seconds to run and take the information from R/3. CRM takes longer to process that information. However, the lock does not come off when the job is complete. We have to manually remove the lock the next time someone from the team logs into CRM. This causes problems as nothing from R/3 to CRM is passing through while the locks are on. As soon as the lock is removed, the systems begin communicating again. The job is not impacted as it takes less than 15 seconds to run.
How do we either stop the lock from coming on, or have it automatically come off when the job is complete?
I reviewed the note suggested, but it was for account life cycles. Perhaps the wrong number was written?

Colour background images changes when applying effect

Hey,
I created a page, with a large background image in the back. When applying an effect (like shadow, or transparency) to text above, the colour of the image below changes, it becomes less saturated. This persist even when exporting and viewing in Acrobat Reader.
Im using InDesign CS3 with Windows XP SP2
Greets!

Try changing your transparency blend space to RGB.
