Acrobat Pro 9 - Comments and Stickies vanish and reappear when clicked!

Very strange problem, I'm having. If I add comments, stickies or callouts to a PDF, everything is great UNTIL I click off of the item being created. The item immediately disappears with no indication that anything is there (ie: a sticky "bubble" icon).
I know these items are still in the file because if I click in the area where a sticky was created, it instantly reappears, but only temporarily. But the minute I click again on something else or off the sticky itself, all comments and stickies disappear again. Same thing with callout objects.
So they ARE in the file - I have verified it. I can save and reopen the same PDF in Adobe Reader, and everything appears as expected - all of these elements are visible all the time, and respond as expected. Just absolute wackiness in Acrobat Pro 9.
This was never a problem in Pro 8 or earlier. I don't have Pro X to try.
All preferences for comments have been checked and tested. All comments were set to "show". Toggling the settings does not help. It happens in any pdf file being modified in Acrobat Pro.
The comment List does show me the full list and contents of the stickies, but in the main window - nothing shows up until I blindly find the right spot and click!
Very frustrating, indeed!
Working with a relatively new 27" Core i5 iMac with 8GB RAM running OS X 10.6.6.
Any ideas?

Try using a program like Onyx or Applejack to clean all user caches. You can also try to remove the Acrobat 9 preference file. It may have become corrupt.

  • Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem

    Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem
    (Production.0) (154) (whole units) . (Production.1) (90) (fractional) / (divided by) 31 (days) results in (Average.0) (4)(whole units) . (Average.1) (10) (fractional) using :Math.round.� Noticed that 154 (whole units) . 85 through 99 (fractional) also show 4.10. (without Math.round : 5.00)
    Method:
    �Production.0� (whole units) . �Production .1� (fractional) / Days = (Average Daily Production) (�Average.0� (whole units) . (Average.1) (fractional)
    � Production.0 (value not calculated)�, � Production 1 (calculated) (event.value = util.printx("0099", (event.value)).substr(-2,2); � �Average.0 (value not calculate)�, and �Average.1 has following calculation:
    var punits = this.getField("Production.0");
    var pfrac = this.getField("Production.1");
    var average = 0.0;
    average = (punits.value + pfrac.value / 100) / this.getField("Days").value;
    this.getField("Average.0").value = average - average % 1;
    this.getField("Average.1").value = util.printx("0099", Math.round((average % 1 * 100))).substr(-2,2);
    �Math.round� appears to be a problem. Also, could you explain the purpose of �0099� . Anyway, why would 154.85 through 154.90 divided by 31 give 4,10. Also, their must be a better way, to find the average daily production. All you have to do is divided the production (whole. fractional) by the days, and display the average daily production as (whole. fractional). Any suggestions??

    There are a many loose ends in your question.
    First, I have never seen before a variable type called 'var'. Is it a java primitive or a class?
    Next, I cannot seem to find any class that has the printx method.
    When it comes to substr(-2,2), I get confused. First, I thought that it was a method of the String class, but I only got as far as substring(beginIndex, endIndex).
    If you really must break the production and average into pieces, try this:
    float average = (punits + pfrac/100) / days;
    int avg_units = (int)average;
    int avg_frac = (int)( (average - avg_units) * 100 );My guess is that util.printx("0099", x) formats x having two optional digits and two mandatory digits, showing 0-99 as 00-99, but allows to show numbers with three and four digits.
    154.85/31 = 4,9951612903225806451612903225806
    154.99/31= 4,9996774193548387096774193548387
    If you round the fraction of theese numbers multiplied by 100 ( = 99.51.. and 99.968...) you get 100, and this will be the output of printx. My guess for "4.10" is that substr(-2,2) returns the two first characters of the string, because the start index should not be zero. (According to java docs, substring throws an exception on a negative index, so what kind of class are you really using ??????)

  • Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

    Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?  My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7.  I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

    You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.

  • Acrobat Pro IX License was activated and was working fine. Then it stop working application would not launch. I

    My Acrobat Pro IX license was activated and was working fine. Then the application stop launching after an update was by Adobe. After a while I uninstalled the application successfully, logged on to my adobe account, viewed past purchases, re-downloaded the application successfully, activated the license and entered my serial number. The next day I get a pop up message that my trial licenses is set to expire in 29 days. I clicked again to activate my license and this time, the message stated that the license for serial number has been revoked.
    How do I resolve this matter?

    Install it just as you did before. You should have backed up the download to a CD or backup HD and have the S/N archived with the backup. If you did not backup (please do in the future), you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html unless it was an upgrade (I don't think you can use these files for upgrades).

  • I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
    text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis.  Whereas on my mac
    mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
    the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
    clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
    to do anything.
    In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing.  I run a
    small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
    subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
    to their respective folders.  On my laptop when I open up an email from my
    scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
    paperclip symbol.  However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
    notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
    program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,

    you don't have to purchase acrobat pro xi.  you can, but you can also use it via adobe's creative cloud subscription service.
    to use it via cc, uninstall your current trial.
    then go here and log in with the same adobe id used to pay for your cc subscription and start your acrobat xi download, Adobe: Creative, marketing, and document management solutions

  • PDF stored in database and to view the PDF when clicking on a link

    Is it possible to save a PDF document in the database as a blob column and to retrieve the PDF when clicking on the link

    Above method is possible for images
    See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm.
    But can I reach the same for PDF documents?

    Hello Andy,
    This Upload and Download Files is very useful feature in APEX.
    However, is there a way of displaying PDF files first in the report by clicking the corresponding link
    in the table?
    I mean, is it possible to view PDF files first by clicking the link before deciding to download them?
    As we see, this approach is used by most websites and after opening and viewing a PDF file, we can save them.
    Thanks.
    Shurick.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13.  I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight.  I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

    It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

  • Why does Acrobat Pro 9 have more bells and whistles than Acrobat Pro XI?

    I have a Power Mac with Acrobat Pro 9 and it has more menus with more functions than the Acrobat Pro XI on my iMac.
    I'm supposed to be migrating to the iMac and giving the Power Mac to some co-workers, but I need the functions in Acrobat 9 that I don't see in XI.
    In 9 I have these menu items: File, Edit, View, Document, Comments, Forms, Tools, Advanced, Window and Help.
    In XI I have: File, Edit, View, FusionPro, Window and Help.
    I know FusionPro is a 3rd party plug-in.
    Do I have to do something to make them appear? Has Adobe taken them out? Did they move them?
    Primarily I'm interested in:
    Document > Crop Pages function
    Tools > Advanced Editing functions
    Advanced > Print Production functions
    BTW, I don't know if this is an installation issue or not, but this seemed like the most likely forum.

    In XI, all of the tools are in the RHP (right-hand panel) under tools/comments. Some tools require you to right click on the tools settings by the tools selector to allow other tools to be displayed. These tools are no longer given on the menu bar and has been the change in the Acrobat UI structure. A few tools are at times removed, but the ones you mentioned are still there.
