Acrobat Pro 7.1.0: Why don't my preferences save?

I'm using Acrobat Professional 7.1.0 on Windows Vista 32, lots of disk space, no error messages, etc.
I'm trying to make some changes to the application preferences: I want the default page display to be continuous, for example. When I exit the application and then re-start it, the changes to the preferences do not persist; they're back to whatever they were before I changed them.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks, Bill, but I'm talking about the application preferences (Edit->Preferences), which are accessible and changeable even when there is no open PDF file.
Let me give an example: in preferences, there is a Startup category that includes the option "Display splash screen." That's clearly an application preference, not a preference associated with a particular file. If I check the box to display the splash screen at startup, then click OK, then go back into preferences, my selection is still there: there's still a check mark next to "Display splash screen" So far, so good.
I then exit Acrobat and start it up again. The application preferences now show that "Display splash screen" is UNchecked. It didn't save the change I made. IT DID, HOWEVER, remember that when I was last in the application preferences, I was in the Startup category, because that's the category it selects by default. If I choose a different category, say Page Display, exit and then re-start Acrobat, it defaults to the Page Display category but doesn't register any of the changes I made.
So I'm wondering why my changes to the application preferences aren't sticking. Any other ideas? Is this a bug? An installation problem? It seems to work just fine in all other respects.

Acrobat Pro 9, blank lines in text boxes vanish upon save

Folks,
Since I upgraded from Acrobat Pro 8 to 9, whenever I put blank lines in a text box, the blank lines disappear as soon as the PDF is saved.
Here's an example:
- Open a PDF file
- Click on text box tool in the toolbar (or from menu Comments->Comments and markup Tool->Text box tool
- Draw a box on the PDF page somewhere
- Enter "First line", then hit Return twice to add a blank line below, enter "Second line"
- Right now my text box contains two lines of text separated by a blank line
- Hit save
- Blank line vanishes in the text box. Now the two text lines are on adjacent rows.
This did not happen in either Acrobat Pro 7 or 8. I've been using textboxes consistently for years without this silly behavior.
Any suggestions? I've looked through forums and knowledge bases and such to no avail.
I have acrobat pro version 9.0.0 running on XPSP3.
Thanks!

Hello Petros,
I figured out how to make this work, at least on my computer. Hold CTRL key and hit ENTER. This leaves the space. Hope this works for you.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 crashes when selecting reading preferences

Recently, Acrobat started popping up with that incessant "preparing reading view" box, which I just cancel out of. I don't remember making any changes to my settings that would have caused that to now pop up. So I went to "edit ... preferences" to see what I could do about it. But every time I select "Reading," the program crashes.
What to do?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

Why don't my Podcasts save the last played location after iOS5 upgrade?

After I updgraded my 4G touch to iOS5, when you stop a podcast, play another item then return to the original pod cast, the pod cast starts over at the beginning. Ugh. Previous versions of iOS did not have this problem. If you returned to a podcast it picked up where you last stopped. Is this a hidden iOS5 glitch?

Is there any way to do this without creating a playlist? If not, this is very annoying and should be changed.

Why won't System Preferences save my desktop background folders?

If I try to add folders to the sidebar in the System Preferences > Desktop panel, only the last-viewed folder will stay when you close and reopen the panel. Here's what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qy01PS0aT0

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat Pro XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

Acrobat Pro always on top during batch OCR ! ;(

Hello,
Do you know a way to change the default behaviour of Acrobat Pro 11 as it comes back always on top each time there is a new pdf file to OCR during a batch OCR process ?
This is very annoying as I have to click each time on the other window I was focusing on !
Example: I was on reading something in Firefox, then Acrobat Pro window appears - too bad! - I need then each time to click on Firefox in order to get back on what I was reading !
Thanks in advance
Win7 64bits Acrobat Pro 11, tools/action wizard using only : OCR and Save .

Hi,
There are 2 resolutions for this issue:
1: Uncheck Prompt user checkbox while creating the Action:
2: Use Tools -> Text Recognition -> In Multiple Files option
Please use either of them.
Thanks,

Why no Acrobat Pro 9 trial versions for Mac

I received my upgrade box for CS5 and the instructions said to delete (uninstall) Acrobat Pro 9 and then re-install it from the included disk. No big deal, I installed CS5 then uninstalled Acrobat as instructed, popped in the DVD of the new Acrobat Pro 9 that came in the box and up pops a message that every Mac users knows asking what I'd like to name the blank DVD and if I would like to mount it? That means the DVD is bank and never been burned. Confused I put it in my laptop with the same result! It was a blank DVD from Adobe!
Looking at the back of the disk it was clear it had never been burned to, you can tell when a disk has an image on it or not.
So thinking I'm clever I go to the download site to download a trail version of Acrobat Pro 9 thinking I could install it and when the question comes up to use it in trial mode to enter a serial number I could just enter the number and be done with it.
So I followed the procedure and waited for the emailed link to tell me where to get my download from, 10 minutes later it showed up, I followed the link and the pull down option only showed 4 versions to download, all for Windows! I searched and searched and could not find a Mac version anywhere.
Today I was able to get customer service on the phone who was glad to ship me another copy, they at firs suggested I just download the demo (just like I tried the night before) and I told them I could not get a link for the Mac. She put me on hold, then came back to the phone apologizing and telling me I was correct, there is no trial or download version of Acrobat Pro 9 for the Mac. I would have to wait for the replacement DVD.
So to me the question is I would have a hard time believing there are more Acrobat Pro 9 versions on PC's than on Macs even though there are so many more PC users. I've never met a single Acrobat Pro user on a PC and I work in IT/MIS at several very large companies. Only the Mac people ever seem to want the pro version, sometimes a few PC users in Marketing or legal want the Regular Acrobat but not the Pro version.
So Adobe why no Acrobat Pro downloads or trials for Mac users? Seems the long standing good relationship between Mac users and Adobe continues to be neglected and diminished. This is hardly the only item I've come across in the last few years where Adobe treats Mac users like secondhand users.

What extra work! two, three lines of extra code (may just one) to put a time limit in, that can be overridden with entering a bought serial number. Even shareware peopel do it.
And I remeber when Acrobat only worked on Mac's. You see it was introduced to Mac's first. Microsoft wouldn't allow it until version 3 or 4. If I still had my 7100/66 I might could prove was I one of the beta Testers. But that machine was traded in on the G4-500 (which I still own).
Most major software companies will come out with a new application on the Mac first. Because Mac users tend tobe willing to try out something new on the cutting edge. Then when its prefected they come out with a PC version, and forget about the Mac community.
Look I am 61. And I didn't just fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I've been around since before the days of the moden internet. I started with Buliten Boards on 300 baud modem on an old fashion POTS line. Cost me a fortune in Phonebills
So don't discount my experiences so lightly. I've used appliactions such as ATM Aldus PageMaker (yes you heard right Aldus). I've use Word Perfect for Mac and PC back when it was owned by WordPefect, then Novell) I've use Microsoft works when it came out for the SE/30. Lotus 1-2-3 both on Mac and PC, FaxSTF, and other that are now none existent on the Mac. Chance are I was using Computers about the same as some of you and probabaly earlier than some. I lived it.

My account is active and paying per month for Acrobat Pro. Why I cannot open files and the screen asks for serial number?

I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

Why do images within a PDF look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6?

Using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS version 10.7.5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card. High-resolution source images look fine in other software, and embedded images in a PDF look fine when viewed on Google Drive, but curves and diagonal lines look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6. Checking smoothing options in Preferences only adjusts the position of the jagged edges; it neither enhances nor ameliorates them.
I created a sample PDF to illustrate the problem I'm having. Created in illustrator, exported to PNG and converted to PDF. Here is a screenshot of the source PNG side-by-side with the PDF I created from it:
Please note that when I preview the PDF in Finder, and when I view the PDF in Chrome using Google Drive, the image looks fine. Here's a link to the sample PDF:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/77f5m6
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?
