Acrobat Pro 9.0 automatically generates Mailto: link on @ sign

We have calls to run SQL scripts in our docs, and the syntax for executing those scripts is @ScriptName.SQL.
When generating the PDF from FrameMaker using Acrobat, it is embedding live Mailto: links in the script names because of the @ character.
How do I tell Acrobat to igore the @ character when creating PDF files?
Thanks,
Jim

I even unchecked the "Edit > Preferences >General > Create links from URLs" check-box and test-generated another PDF from Framemaker, and it is still creating links to URLs where they appear, as well as Mailto: links to email addresses, and picking up the script names "@ScriptName.SQL" as bogus Mailto: links. I need some way to override the behavior for JUST that instance where the @ sign is being used as part of a script name.

Acrobat Pro Extended - how can I add links to 3D-objects?

Hi there,
I'm using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 and I would like to attach links to different filetypes to a 3D-object in a 3D-PDF. I tried to use the link-tool but it seems like that only works for 2D-PDF. Also in the 3D-Reviewer I haven't found a way yet to make it work.
Thanks
what eva

It's possible, but not in the simple tools-based way.
The "easiest" way is to add a Javascript to the 3D annotation which hooks the mouse event, scans the event.hits array and reacts based on the contents. If a mesh object is clicked the hits array will contain the mesh name in position 0 (then everything behind it in order). Your only issues arise when you want the "normal" clicking action to work as well (for selecting nodes, etc.), in which case you have to ensure your script passes the events about.
Many of the example files on the acrobatusers.com 3D gallery use that principle, and there are also some in the adobe.com section on 3D Javascript. The idea of a '3D linking tool' is a loooong way off - the way 3D is handled by Acrobat isn't set up to understand things at that level - the UI sees the 3D model as nothing but a black box that can be shouted at.

Acrobat Pro XI uninstalls automatically

My XI pro keep uninstalling almost every time I install even though i have a valid paid Cloud membership, how do i stop this from happening, its very troublesome to re-

Usually this is due to either a corrupt install file or not being logged in as the administrator and having anti-virus disabled. In fact, anti-virus is likely the issue.

Creating Link out of Full Screen Preview in Acrobat Pro 8

Hi,
Maybe someone can help.
I have created a document in Acrobat Pro 8 that automatically opens in Full Screen Preview for the user. I want to create a button (link) on the title page which will allow the user to go back to normal view. In the links menu you can set to Open Full Screen preview but not get out of it... The only alternative that I have found is to include the copy on the title page "press esc to exit"
Is there any alternative to this????
Thanks in advance

Not sure why you mention 'preview'..
However, the 'fullscreen' menu item that you can set from a button is a 'toggle', so if you have a fullscreen button on a document that has fullscreen as the open option, clicking the button will take you to normal view.
It isn't essential to use a script: just use a button action for 'execute a menu item' > Window Fullscreen.

Acrobat Pro 9 - URL link to open in browser in background (behind PDF)?

Hi! I've been searching for days now... does anyone know if it's possible using Acrobat Pro 9 to force a URL link to open in the background, behind a PDF in order to keep the reader at the PDF instead of instantly switching to their web browser?
This is used for a capabilities presentation, where we would like the view to continue reading the PDF but if they click links, the links will load in their browser where they can review them after finishing the PDF - instead of instantly being taken to the browser.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Go the the Applications -> Utilities folder. In there you will find the Disk Utility app. When you run that application, you can select your hard drive. Then click on the Fix Permssions button.

Is there another possibility importing shape-files in Acrobat?
Thank you very much.

What exactly happens when you try to follow those four steps? And does theshapefile overlap with the current PDF map (existing geospatial PDF)?

Why is my Acrobat Pro now running in "Trial" mode?

Today when I attempted to launch Acrobat v10.1.12 (previously installed with CS6), I was prompted to sign in.
When I signed in, I am alerted that I am running in “Trial” mode. I am licensed to use Acrobat Pro through my CS6 license.
I recently signed up for CC in order to open and work on newer files provided to me.
Is this issue is related to the CC subscription, and how can it be resolved?

It could be CC taking over the CS software regardless that it should not. See if the following related posting helps:
How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

Why is all Acrobat Pro help now going to Acrobat DC? I do not have DC, I have a brand new Pro XI. Even links on the Acrobat Pro XI page go straight to Acrobat DC. Anyone?

I do not have DC, I have a brand new version of Acrobat Pro XI. I'm trying to get help with using the automatic detect fields feature and not finding what I need. Even links on the Acrobat Pro XI page go straight to Acrobat DC. Anyone?

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
How do I modify the system.

Hi Rgardezi,
The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.
Cheers,

.PS file generating a blank PDF after upgrade from Acrobat Pro 7 to 9

Hi All,
I've searched for this in vain so I'm comming to you now in desperation. My boss has tasked me with tracking down this error and I have to be honest, I'm a little bit green with Acrobat Pro. So coming into the situation I know this. My department used to use a .ps file to build a publication into a PDF from other .ps files. We operate on a network share (the P: drive) on Windows XP SP3 machines with the latest updates.
In Acrobat Pro 7 we could double click the .ps file which executed the below code through Adobe Distiller and a finished PFD of the same file name would be output to the host directory. But now, after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9, this process only produces a PDF with all of the appropriate bookmarks and none of the content.

An observation -
It looks like you are dealing with files that reflect someone's work with the pdfmark Reference (associated with Distiller).
As with Acrobat Security, JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK the 'how-to' from these all undergo changes with each new Acrobat release.
I suspect that the coding, while adequate for back when Acrobat 7 was new on the street, may have to be updated to comply with what the Distiller provided with Acrobat 9 supports.
Use the link for pdfmark Reference
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/wwdistiller.html
The Acrobat Developer Center ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html ) provides a hub to the myriad of "under-the-hood" aspects of Acrobat.
Be well...

Linking multiple textboxes in a form Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi all,
I'm making an electronic form with Acrobat Pro 9.
The setup was made in Indesign CS3 after which the form boxes were detected by Acrobat Pro 9. There is a larger text area which consists of multiple lines of text (to be filled in by the user).
For this area there are 2 options:
1- Have multiple textboxes linked together so the text flows to the next box automatically when the current one is full.
or.
2- Have 1 multiline textbox with a larger linespacing.
The problem with 1 is, I can't seem to link multiple boxes together in Acrobat Pro 9. The problem with 2 is, I have no idea how to increase the linespacing.
Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish either 1 or 2?
Thanks in advance,
Bas

Linking the text boxes is not really possible, at least in a seamless manner. I've seen a few approaches using JavaScript, but none that are very well implemented. My usual suggestion is to redesign the form to get rid of the lines and just use a single multiline text box, perhaps with a faint border to indicate to the user where the field is.
If you need the lines because the form might be printed and filled by hand or some other means, then you can set up the field with a bit of JavaScript to set the background color to white if the user enters any text, and transparent otherwise. That way, when the document is printed, the lines won't appear if any text is entered, but will if not. You will not need to be concerned about the line spacing of the field matching up with the lines.

Linking text form fields in Acrobat Pro

I am using Acrobat Pro. I have successfully entered javascript that links multiple text fields so that when reaching the end of one field it automatically advances to the next. My problem is that if I am in the middle of a word it will split the word instead of carrying the entire word to the next line. How do I fix this?

I'm having a simliar problem except for some reason, if I am typing a word, the sentance will advance to the next field but will be missing a letter and looks like this:
This is an example of what Acrob
t is doing.
There is a letter that disappears and I can't seem to find how/where to fix it. I think it involves something with the java code but I'm not sure...

PDF file linking on a CD (Acrobat Pro / InDesign CS3)

Weve put 9 pdf documents on a CD (made in Mac InDesign CS3) for a client. The original plan was to hyperlink them together using icons (representing the other pdfs) that appear on each page of each document. Unfortanately were on to plan B as InDesign pdf links stop working once you copy them onto the CD.
Is there a way to globally or automatically to apply hyperlink hotspots in Acrobat Pro? While I know I can make links that work on a CD in Acrobat Pro -- the best I could do in this case was pasting and repositioning link hot spots by hand on every page - and that was just one document.
Any suggestions?
Phil

Will the Interactive PDF, along with the Word doc be written to the CD? And your hopes are the user will insert CD, open PDF, click link in PDF which opens Doc in Microsoft Word? You can accomplish this in many ways, but a few questions first...
1. Does the content need to remain as a Word Document?
2. Does the Word doc need to reside on CD?
3. Are you using Mac or PC?
