Acrobat Pro 8 question to lock downloaded pdf to computer.

Hello to everyone.
I am interested in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 for Mac, but I have a question which needs an answer to.
Can you lock a pdf in Acrobat Pro 8 to the computer used to download the file? I was told by a sales rep that if you exclude the ability to print, copy, edit, and move a pdf file in Acrobat Pro 8 this will lock the file to the specific computer used to download it. Is this statement correct? I am trying to find out with a definitive yes or no. Thanks for any and all help.

Alternatively, look at using digital signatures and the security
policies. This method ensures that only the person with the matching
certificate can open the file and have specific options ...
It would involve swapping digital ID files but once set-up, it's very
powerful ... just uses Acrobat 8 and even Reader ..

Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

Good day.
Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

Hi williamc48321229,
You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.
For more details on this, please refer:

Hope this helps.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs

Hello,
My Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs. This happens twice a month and is becoming extremely irritating. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing and a system restore. What can I do to make this problem go away?
Thank you.

To check that it is an Acrobat problem, open Acrobat from the programs list and try to open a PDF from the file menu. I suspect this will work fine from what I read into your post. I suspect that somehow your OS is changing file associations. In that case, right click on a PDF and select Open With>Select Default Program and then select Acrobat. Be sure the check box for default program has been checked.

I purchased monthly subscription to Acrobat Pro. After I download, it asks for a serial number. I don't have one - what gives.

Hello Nelson,
Please make sure that Acrobat is updated to its latest version i.e. 11.0.07.
You can download the update from following link:

Acrobat Pro 9 does not open pdf on web

I have just done a clean installation of Win Vista Home Premium, and put CS4 on it. I always throw out a lot of links and programmes that come with a re-install, but may have thrown out too much this time: Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 opens pdf's just fine as long as they are on my hard disk. It does not open pdf files on web sites.
I remember trying to delete the link to Acrobat.com that has nestled itself at the top of "All Programs". Its icon has dissapeared, but otherwise it seems ok. It seems unlikely that that has anything to do with my not being able to open pdf's on the web, but I mention it anyway.
Anybody any ideas and remedies? Thanks.

I just realised the same pdf on the web is opened properly by Acrobat Pro when the site is open in IE. It does not work in Firefox 3.5.2, however.
I pointed in Firefox Tools > Options > Applications the application to open pdf's to Acrobat 9.1 . It does work now, but in a rather weird fashion: Acrobat seems to sort of swirl into my Firefox window. Never mind, the pdf's do open.

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.

We always like to know what solutions work. The other options that would cause problems include:
1. the file is either secured or a PDF/A
2. you need to update Acrobat (Help>Updates)

I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer

I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer
I have the correct License Key which I checked on Adobe License site but when I enter it
is says it's incorrect

Problem solved,
I found the original Adobe installation files on our system that we used to first intall Acrobat Pro.
Using these files with the correct volume license key we were able to install the programme on our new Computers.
I was also informed by Adobe Help that I could also download these file from the Adobe License website after logging in.
https://licensing2.adobe.com/
Click on Licenses / Download and then Software
Hope this might help anyone else with the same problem

Hi davadlaw,
You can install Acrobat on the new PC and use your Adobe ID to activate the software.
The purchased subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.

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.

Uh-oh, Acrobat Pro 9 opens all recent pdfs automatically!

For some reason Acrobat now wants to open every pdf in my recent history folder when the application opens. Since I work with large print files, this 'feature' locks up my 6GB of RAM quickly enough to bring my computer to its knees in a matter of seconds.
I'm running Windows 7 x64, but I had this happen to me on my Windows XP workstation a few months ago. I ended up reinstalling the program to fix it, but does anybody have an idea of what causes this or if there is a registry edit I can make to delete my pdf history?
Thank you, you smart, sexy people.

Anton,
I to had this problem just today and could not find any good help on file associations. I am running XP Pro on Windows. I uninstalled CS2 and still had CS3 on the computer. All associations for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop went away. The only information I could find did not work.
This is what I did and it worked. I opened Control Panel, then File Options, and then the tab "File Types". I scrolled to the INDD extension and highlighted it. Then I chose the Advanced Tab, selected "new", typed in "Open" for the action and selected the InDesign.exe file. All Indd files associated with InDesign CS3.
I also repeated the same to get the AI and PSD files to associate.
I hope this is the right way to make the change, no guarantees, but so far it is working. Even CS and CS2 file versions show the CS3 logo and open correctly.

Basic Question - adding a downloadable PDF

Hi:
This is a pretty basic question but after searching the
Dreamweaver Bible I can't find the answer. I want to put a word
document on a site. I am considering 2 options: 1) just put a
downloadable PDF on the site or 2) import the text from the word
doc and just put it as another page on the site. All I can figure
out so far is to cut and pace from the word doc to a dreamweaver
page. I'm reading about import word html command but can't find it.
My questions are: 1) how to I include a PDF file and 2) where is
the import word html command located.
Thanks,
Rex
