Acrobat Pro 9 Extend features to reader

My question is simple.
When I create a pdf in Microsoft Word 2007 using the acrobat add in, how do I "extend the features to reader" on the pdf I'm creating to allow other to comment and/or markup?
Or do I have to create the pdf from the word document in Acrobat itself to enable the extended features?
Please help, I'm going insane.

Hope this helps!!!
Open the PDF and choose Comments > Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Adobe Reader.

Acrobat Pro Extended feature questions

Hi,
I am testing Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended to evaluate usability within the company I work for. During my testing, I have run across some questions about Pro Extended functionality. I would appreciate any information or suggestions you may have regarding these questions. Thanks in advance!
1. Adobe 3D Reviewer in Pro Extended experiences a run time error and exits when attempting to delete a part (subassembly) from the model tree using the "delete" menu option on the right mouse context menu of the model tree item. This occurs in both .u3d files and .pdf files. Is this a known issue, limitation or is there a fix for attempting to delete parts from a model? (perhaps a problem on my installation?)
2. I have used 3D comments on a 3D model and they are very useful since they are "anchored" to particular locations on the part/assembly being commented on. Can the comment text box itself be resized? Can the font size used for the 3D comment be resized? Once created, can 3D comments be edited in either Pro Extended or 3D Reviewer?
3. The model tree in 3D models is useful for viewing/hiding parts of a 3D model. Do the plus signs (+) used to traverse the model tree have an "Expand All" option or must every + sign be clicked to traverse subassemblies (these can be numerous!). This may not be a supported feature. Is there any plan for it?
Thank you again and I appreciate your input.

Hi Jesse,
Here are some answers that should help in your evaluation:
1) i believe you are still using a beta version. this bug has been fixed in the released version. you can find a trial version at the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatproextended/tryout.html
2) yes the 3D comment box can be resized by clicking in the upper left corner and dragging the mouse or moved to a different location by clicking in the lower right corner and dragging the mouse.
yes you can change the size/color of the 3D comment text by going to Edit>Preferences, clicking on Measuring (3D) and changing the settings: Measure Feedback Size, 3D Measuring Line Color
once created, you cannot edit the 3D comment text anymore.
3) there is no Expand All option in Acrobat/Reader.

How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

Difference between LC Reader extensions and Acrobat's Extend Features

Hello,
is there any difference between the way, how works LC's Reader Extensions service and Acrobat's Extend Features?
We have a pdf form, which we can extend (enable features like saveing filled pdf form) by Acrobat, but extending by LC ES2 service trhrows exception:
ALC-RES-001-019: The input document is not a valid document type for this operation.
com.adobe.internal.pdftoolkit.core.exceptions.PDFCosParseException: Expected 'xref' : 437523
The document was not build by LC Designer nor Acrobat.
Thanks.

If you go to adobe.com take a look at the the acrobat feature sheet, in particular the one that shows the different features available in Reader vs. Acro Standard vs. Acro Pro. Basically RE enables Reader to use features available in Acrobat Standard. There are tons of features available in Acrobat Pro beyond that, but they are more typically features used by form developers rather than end users.
Sorry Aandi, got to correct you, but RE'ing a PDF can allow it to access a DB via ODBC. However, I would personally recommend you make a web service call and let the server handle hitting the DB if needed. It is much more secure, less work to set up (don't need a local ODBC connection on each client), and easier to work with IMO.

Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended version 9.3.4 reading Inventor 2009

I would like to be able to generate 3D PDF files from Autodesk Inventor CAD models (e.g. .iam files) using Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended. I am constrained to use Inventor 2009. When I originally installed Acrobat Pro Extended, I was able to make this work after installing the IMPORT3D update at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4073
Recently (9/5/2010), I updated Acrobat Pro Extended to version 9.3.4. I believe that following that update, I lost the ability to read in Inventor 2009 files. Acrobat Pro Extended now gives the error messages:
"Exception has been raised" followed by:
"Acrobat could not open 'file' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
This is exactly what happened when I first installed Acrobat Pro extended and before I installed the IMPORT3D update mentioned above. I tried re-installing that update but now the installer gives the error message:
"No qualifying products found to apply this update."
Note that Inventor 2009 does allow one to "Save Copy As" to PDF format, but this just creates a 2D PDF snapshot of the current model view -- same for print to pdf.
I suppose one thing to try is removing Acrobat Pro Extended and then re-installing without the 9.3.4 update, but with the IMPORT3D update -- but if that is necessary, then I won't be able to take advantage of any further updates (e.g. security updates) to Acrobat, which seems like a bad situation.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me?

I may have figured out what was causing my problem with conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF. After playing around with a number of inventor files, I discovered that the conversion worked fine when there were no references to external files. For example a .ipt file (part file) seemed to convert fine. I believe the problem was that on the form one obtains with Edit->Preferences->Convert to PDF->Autodesk Inventor->Edit Settings->Import->Assembly, the check box for "use root file directory" was NOT checked. Oddly, this is the default and I'm pretty sure I tried setting the conversion options to the default. In any case, I now seem to be able to perform the conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF so this problem is solved I guess.

Preserving PDF version after Save during "Extend Features in Reader"

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm attempting to make a fillable form that needs to be compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4) . I can make the form, but when I extend features in reader, the copy it saves is PDF v1.6 (Acrobat 7). Is there any way to maintain the PDF version when doing this, or is this not possible with V1.4 PDFs?
Thanks.

"Reader enabling" was introduced with version 1.5 (Acrobat 6).

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Will Not Install

I have the Adobe Master Collection CS5 installed, but needed to use some Acrobat features which I understood were only available in the Pro Extended version, so am trying now to install Extended onto the PC.
The installation however keeps stopping saying I "already have a more functional product installed" ... Acrobat on this PC is the Pro version, but is not Extended ... is there a way to get it to install without removing the current version and all its settings?

Since you have CS5 master collection installed- it comes with Acrobat 9.3 and Acrobat Pro Extended,
that you are trying to install is version no. 9.0. So when you launch the installer, you get the message that you have
more recent product already installed.
For installing Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0, you'll have to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 9.3 and then install Acrobat Pro Extended.

Acrobat Pro Extended 9.3.1 - Can't use "Send for Shared Review"

After the last update for Acrobat Pro Extended, I cannot send RoboHelp PDF generated documents for shared reivew. I used to be able to send draft reviews of the help (in PDF) using our public shared drive. The error indicates: "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not include a .pdf extension, contains one or more invalid characters or the path preceding it refers to a protected system location." I have not changed any of the items mentioned in the error and yet after the last software release update to the 9.3.1, the share review option is not working. Has anyone run into this issue and can help with pointers?

I am surprised the patch allowed you to update from AA9.0.0 to 9.3.1 directly. Almost all patches (updates) for Acrobat are incremental and they must be installed in sequence. I suspect this it true for AA9 also, but I could be wrong.
I suspect it was the jump that is causing the problem. I would suggest you reinstall AA9 (you may have to be careful about activating and deactivating so you do not lose your number of license installs). Once you are back to AA9.0.0, then either use the "Check for Updates" or download all of the updates and install them in order. You may have to reboot after some of the changes. It looks like you have 7 updates to go through. Folks have complained about the updates not being cummulative for years, don't expect things to change.

Embedding video in PDF, keeps says it cant convert and need Acrobat Pro Extended?

I have Acrobat Pro 9 and with using the tool to embed video which seems to convert to a flash format, it keeps coming back saying its unable to convert and that I would need Acrobat Pro Extended. I tried a handfull of different video types and every one that I chose gave me the same message. All it will seem to do is somehow link to the video whcih will use the viewer installed on that persons computer to run. It seems to give you the ability to convert video over but it doesnt let you for anything you choose, what am I doing wrong?
I have Acrobat Pro 9 Extended at work which I tried the same thing with and of course, that worked. Is the Extended part by any chance just a patch for Pro 9 or is it a totally different purchase?

"Add multimedia to PDFs" at Acrobat Pro's LiveDocs may help to clarify.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS65B80E79-F165-44f0-BBCA-0F142A75869 6.html
Looks like the following general observations apply.
If the multmedia file(s) meet the identified requirements for Professional it is "in".
If the multimedia file(s) do not, then conversion is required - but conversion is only available in Pro Extended.
That you get a "need conversion" message, from Pro that would be indicative of an input that does not meet the specified requirements for direct use in Pro.
An alternative might be to try "Create Legacy ..."
Legacy multimedia will rely on the end-user having the appropriate player application installed.
fwiw - having an interest in multimedia & PDF you might find this helpful

Acrobat Pro Extended to Inventor 2010 Issues

I purchased Acrobat Pro Extended last night in order to make some 3D PDFs for a sales trip TOMORROW and I cannot get this to work. I have updated APE to version 9.2.0 like one post suggested but it is still not working properly.
I can create some models from inventor files but only those that are one assembly file with a few parts. If I try to create a model from an inventor file that has a "top level assembly" (Inventor Term) with several "sub assemblies" I get one of three things:
1.) I get a 3D pdf that has only loaded the last of the three sub assemblies in the file (only on certain models)
2.) I get this message "Conversion Error" followed by this message "Acrobat could not open <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
3.) I get this message "Exception has been raised" followed by this message "Acrobat could not open <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
I am in deep trouble here and need to get this working if you all could be so kind. I did not wait until the last minute I was unfortunately told to prepare this yesterday, sorry for the urgency.
Jean Chile

I had problems until it updated to 9.2, then all went OK.
I've created 3D parts, assemblies and assemblies containing assemblies from IV 2010 files (see attached).

Acrobat X vs. Acrobat Pro Extended

Hi,
Currently I have Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 installed in my machine and I am a heavy LiveCycle Designer user. I was wondering if I could install Acrobat X without uninstalling the current version in my machine (Acrobat Pro Extended). Also, if I do have to uninstall Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 in order to install Acrobat X, does that mean I'd lose LiveCycle Designer, or is LiveCycle part of the Acrobat X package too?
Thank you for your help

Acrobat X comes together with LiveCycle Designer ES2.
It is not recommended to install Acrobat X together with Acrobat 9 on one OS.
During the setup of Acrobat X your asked if you wish to uninstall the current version before you proceed.
You should do so as the result of the setup otherwise is not foreseeable.

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.

Adobe acrobat pro extended 9 language issues

Hi!
Is there any conflicts/obstacles that may arise using an English version of this software for documents or purposes in other languages or does it support other languages?
If not, is there any way that I can convert an English language version of Adobe Acrobat Pro extended 9 to Swedish language?
The reason I ask is that I'm considering buying a used copy of Acrobat pro extended 9, but before doing so I need to know if I would be better off buying a dedicated Swedish version of this software.
Thanks in advance
Anders

Thanks AbhigyanModi!
What I would like to do with acrobat pro extended 9 is for instance to convert a two-column glossary into Excel keeping the table format. Not sure if using English version will affect the text in the Swedish translation column or not. I've used Acrobat (Swedish version) to a minor extent at work so I'm familiar with some of its benefits, such as the "Copy as table" function.
I think ibuying this software straight from retail is quite pricey for my needs and that's why I considered buying a used English version of Acrobat Pro extended. But I'm not sure it's worth buying an English version if it will limit the useability for my needs.
Cheers!

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended File Type Support

Is there a list of file types that Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended supports. Looking specifically for cad stuff like microstation, autocad and esri files.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended | Print Option | Enable Flash Object Issue

Hi,
We are facing some problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Print Option.
We had a requirement to embed interactive Flash graphs in the PDF file, user will interact with these graphs and whatever graph he plotted, the data for it will be saved in PDF text field, so that on the next launch we can fetch the data to the flash from PDF text fields, so that user can see what changes he did last time. This works great, we are able to successfully comminicate from PDF to flash and then from Flash to PDF.
Please note that, PDF can have multiple graphs on different pages.
The issue we are facing is when we interact with the graphs and then try to print the PDF, in that case only the currently active graph or flash file (The page on which user is currently on) will be seen enabled in the print, the graphs on the other pages, which are not currently visible are seen in disabled state hence the data on it does not get printed.
We have also used the "RMA.activated = true;" command, still no success. Please refer to the screen shots below to understand the issue in more detail..
Flash Embed Options:
In the Print Option, it looks disabled:
The required/desired output is as follows:
We want all Graphs to get printed in enabled state and with the data user had entered. Please do let me know, if there is any workaround to achive this functionality.
Thanks,

Which version. I think it is a minimum of AA9.2 that is needed for X64. Anyway, you should probably either open Acrobat and do the update (help menu) or download all of the updates from Adobe>downloads>updates and install them in order. The current version is AA9.3.4.
