Acrobat Pro 9.0- Edits don't stick

I often need to make adjustments to a PDF created by an automatic accounting process, and then email it to someone else outside my organization. Typically, it involves placing a solid white block (locked) over existing text, and typewriting over that. (Often these don't let me edit text - they are a scan, etc). If I print it, it looks like I think it should. If I email it to someone- sometimes they see the right 'version' and sometimes when they print it out my edits are simply overlayed on the text I thought I had hidden.
Suggestions?

  • Purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Student edition from Best Buy and it will not download

    Purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Student edition from Best Buy and it will not download. It made me download an installer  and then when I went back to download it from the Best Buy digital library and clicked on "Download," nothing happened

    I have done both of those and still no luck. I have tried this download on Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox and its the same story on all of them. I have a Windows, also, if that helps

  • Form created in Acrobat Pro 8 not editable in Acrobat Pro XI

    I created several forms in Acrobat Pro 8, using LiveCycle Designer. I upgraded to Acrobat XI a few days ago when I learned it was unstable under Windows 7. I am now finding I cannot edit my existing forms in Acrobat Pro XI because it doesn't include LiveCycle Designer. This has apparently been moved into a separate product that will cost me another $300. Moreover, I can't seem to save my existing forms at Word documents to re-import them into Acrobat XI, so I can re-create the forms from scratch. I suppose I could print and scan them, but that will result in a less legible form.
    This loss of functionality and cross-compatibility between versions is disturbing. I feel I have just paid $200 to get less functionality than I had before.
    It also appears that the most expedient method for creating new forms in Acrobat XI is to upload them to FormsCentral. I am reluctant to upload these to a third-party server, and resent being required to do so in order to maintain any functionality.
    Is this an ill-planned marketing strategy to get people to buy another software package (which isn't happening in my case), or is there some work-around I am not seeing here?

    To create a form in Acrobat, you first create a PDF that you will be adding form fields to. Normally yo'd create the source document in a program like InDesign or Word, convert to PDF, and place the form fields where they need to go. Acrobat includes a Form Wizard that can attempt to add fields where it thinks they should go, but I rarely use it, preverring to add the fields manually. To do this, select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    and you'll be switched to form editing mode. At the top you'll see the various form field tools that you can use to add fields to the document. This type of form is known as an Acroform, as opposed to an XFA form (static or dynamic) that LiveCycle Designer creates.
    Acrobat 11 comes with the FormCentral form creation application that allows yo to create forms that can be used with the FormsCentral service. It allows you to export a form to PDF, which can be further edited in Acrobat. FormsCentral can also work with a PDF form (Acroform) that you create entirely in Acrobat.
    I think an Acroform is the more versatile type of the three mentioned since they have the widest support in the PDF viewers that are out there, but which you choose depends on your needs. Each have their advantages.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro won't edit document created by Illustrator 2 and saved as PDF

    I've tried multiple things, but can't get Acrobat Pro to edit text within a PDF file which was created by Illustrator cs2 "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical.  Touchup cannot create a text selection area.".   I've searched google, read help....
    Fix was to download NitroPDF.   It quickly and easily edited the text.   So why won't Adobe do it...

    The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.4 - Edit Preferences - Failed to Load Application Resource

    I have tried all types of searches and can't seem to nail down an answer to this issue. I am currently running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 in Windows 7 - 64bit.
    I can't pinpoint exactly when this issue started, but I am unable to access the Preferences from the Edit menu ... It displays the error message - "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)."  The program does not crash, but I think that I am starting to recognize various functions that aren't working exactly as I expect .... although I am not certain they are related to this error.
    This has just escalated to an Urgent issue for me to resolve ASAP. Any help/advice/solutions would be very much appreciated!!
    Thank You!

    It may partly be a 64-bit issue since AA is apparently a 32-bit application that can run in the 64-bit environment (not that familiar with 64-bit systems, so I may not be stating it correctly. However, I would start by going to the Control Panel>Programs and Features and do a repair on your Acrobat installation. That will hopefully resolve the issue.

  • Used Photoshop Image processor to batch convert from CR2 to Jpeg and the edits don't stick

    Ok, so I had a huge wedding where the bride paid me to deliver a ton of images.  Well, i did all my edits in ACR and then photoshop.  While in photoshop all the edits look to have been applied.  So, I use edit > Scripts>Image processor to convert the CR2 files to Jpeg in one fell Swoop.   Well, on my last run though (checking any images for missed edits or what not), none of of the edits were applied to the saved jpegs.  So I bring one up in Photoshop (the saved Jpeg) and the edits are applied in Photoshop.  So I click save and it tries to save as a PSD file (which it was not originally saved as).  I click to JPEG and it asks to replace the existing file and I do.  Voila, all the edits are a-pplied.  Now, I have about 200 images that I need to do this on. 
    Is this common with the image processor?  Is it not for converting processed Raw files to JPEG and keep the edits?
    I'm very frustrated since now, depending on my misunderstand of the tool, I have to spend extra time saving the files again.  (At least I don't have to re-edit them)

    I have action I wrote so that on large groups of pictures I hit my actions.  It goes through the whole set.  Then I hit my flatten and it goes through the whole set.  Then I go to scripts > image processor  and covert them to jpeg. 
    The weird thing is when I bring up the jpegs in photoshop, all the edits are there.  When I look through Photo Mechanic or upload them to the web, they aren't

  • Can I install Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Student Edition on multiple computers?

    I have a desktop and laptop. Can I use one purchased disk for both?

    As far as I know the license restrictions are the same as the regular version, limiting to two installs. Of course, both have to be either MACs or PCs, not a combination. You should be able to find the license agreement under the legal folder of Acrobat.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9: Changes/Edits appear on screen but do not print

    I place a "white box" with no outline over typed text and then type new corrected text over the white box.  Sort of a virtual whiteout.  Until today it was fine.  Now when I go to print the page, the new changes appear but the original text is also printing out causing the document to look sloppy and unedited.  What is happening?

    Sounds like you are using the typewriter tool. That tool and many of the other markup tools are indeed markups. To get them to print you have to select DOCUMENT and MARKUP in the printer menu.

  • Can I get the summary of added and deleted words in two compared documents in Acrobat Pro XI as it was in Pro 6?

    I want to be able to estimate the amount of words that change from one document to another. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to compare two documents. The summary says "Differences exist between documents" and lists the amount of pages in each one. Then it goes on to the report and highlights insertions and deletions.
    I would like a more informative summary. Previously, in Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 (I don't really know after that), the summary I got after comparing two documents contained how many words had been added and how many words had been deleted.
    I have checked the configuration of the new Acrobat but I have not been able to find the same functionality. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature not supported anymore?
    If so, is there a workaround? I have been looking into using JavaScript but I cannot access properties of words that the program highlights as having changed. Thank you very much for any insight you may have.

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • How to activate Acrobat Pro XI on a non persistant VDI desktop?

    Hi,
    I installed Acrobat Pro XI on a Citrix XenDesktop non persistant environment. I used the customization wizard and all seems to work without any questions for activation, but... When I logon to the desktop I start Acrobat Pro XI and I don't have the "PRO" options enabled (like for example  PDF Portfolio). When I close the program and open it again I do have the PRO options so it looks like the program is activating online at the first startup of the program.
    I don't think my users like to start a program then have to close it and start again to use the full options and it shouldn't be working like that.
    Does somebody know how to fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Freek van Ekkendonk

    When the user is logging on he gets a random desktop from the pool, al the virtual desktops have the same image. The registration has been done once on the master image. It could be that when the computer name changes to a random name in the pool the license gets expired because of the changed computername and then tries to activate again online.
    I don't think I have a volume serial number and I don't use the off-line exception because I couldn't get it to work. Below is the error log.

  • Need to create a workflow approval. I need a Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended?, which one?

    I need to create a workflow for approval. But i've downloaded and executed acrobat pro trial and i don't see: commentaries=send a PDF for approval. I only saw commentaries=send a PDF for reviews. Has Acrobat Pro the approval option or just Acrobat Pro extended?

    The best way to approve a document is using a signature field. You sign the document when it meets your approval.

  • Getting Blank EULA (License Agreement Screens) when I try to edit or when I close Acrobat Pro 11 on Mac. Have done all the updates to  latest CC.

    I have been trying to get Acrobat Pro 11 installed and operating for the last two days with this error. I have unistalled and re-installed. Updated to the latest CC app, to no avail.
    I see this was an error in 2012 but there is no options in the new CC Apps to "disable" then "re-enable" the app.
    Adobe, how do I get this working properly ?

    Not just on editing or quoting . Comes up after ~30 seconds. Jusot asks me to accept the license agreement but there is nothing in the main part of the form. And quits out when I "Accept". TOTALLY UNUSABLE!
    I'm resorting to reading PDF's with Preview!
    Am running MacOSX 10.9.3.
    The other Adobe apps I installed (Photoshop, Premier) seem to work fine.
    Common Adobe give me a solution, and just don;t tell me re-install I;ve tried that already!
