Acrobat Pro 9 Link Tool

Hi,
I am using the link tool in Acrobat Pro to link certain parts of a pdf document and then have the pdf accessed from a web browser
The links work fine on the browser, but it want the linked document to open in a new browser window. (ie: target=_blank)
It is currently opening it up in the same browser
Any ideas how to achieve this ?
Thanks
Geoff

Thanks for your suggestion. I've worked with one file at a time. So this is not an exactly answer. I'm afraid it's not possible to find a right solution: my problem has disappeared after another restart... So I'm confused now once more time. Maybe I should reinstall Acrobat - I've got upgraded version. But on the other hand: this software have worked fine for a couple of months.
Conlusion: the problem is magically resolved and normal solution remains unkown. I'm curious about it.
Greetings
Marcin

Acrobat Pro always on top during batch OCR ! ;(

Hello,
Do you know a way to change the default behaviour of Acrobat Pro 11 as it comes back always on top each time there is a new pdf file to OCR during a batch OCR process ?
This is very annoying as I have to click each time on the other window I was focusing on !
Example: I was on reading something in Firefox, then Acrobat Pro window appears - too bad! - I need then each time to click on Firefox in order to get back on what I was reading !
Thanks in advance
Win7 64bits Acrobat Pro 11, tools/action wizard using only : OCR and Save .

Hi,
There are 2 resolutions for this issue:
1: Uncheck Prompt user checkbox while creating the Action:
2: Use Tools -> Text Recognition -> In Multiple Files option
Please use either of them.
Thanks,

Acrobat 9.4 Pro - the link tool is inactive

Hi!
I'm using Acrobat 9.4 Pro (English version on Windows XP SP 3 Polish version). I've noticed today an inactive link tool: the icon is gray and Tools - Advanced Editing - Link Tool command is gray too. The link tool is one of my basic tools for everyday use. My file was not restricted in any way. I've tried another files - nothings has changed. Nor a restart of Acrobat, neither a restart of Windows have had not positive impact on this behaviour. My question is: what should I do to resurrect my link tool? Any ideas? Anyone can help me?

Can someone help us get the COMMENTS ATTACHMENT TOOL to work as described in Acrobat Pro XI?

Our company is trying to switch from paper based reviews to the electronic shared reviews, and Adobe XI was selected. (Window 8, Acrobat XI) However, we are having a great deal of difficulty.
Our problem is that we would like to be able to attach small files (Word, jpeg, etc.) during the Send for Shared Review as described in the videos and online help.
What we have experienced is this:
1. A reviewer attaches the file using the Comments paperclip, publishes the Comments, and then closes.
2. When they, another reviewer, or the initiator opens the document, the Name of the file changes to "Unknown" and the name of the file w/ extension appears in the Description in the Attachments list. This makes the file unopenable.
Has anyone else experienced this? During the initial period while the file name still appears under Name in the Attachments list, it is openable. When that name shifts to the Description field it is lost.
Here is how we are doing it:
Choose the paperclip under Comments - Annotations
Choose the place in the document and click it to select.
Choose the file from the popup box and click Open.
Click OK to select the icon, and it is placed in the document. The file name now appears in the list of Attachments in the left side of the document. Using the single arrow (to the right) it shows the attributes (Name, Description, Modified, Size, Compressed Size.) The name appears under Name, the Description is blank, the Modified, Size and Compressed Size fields are filled in. Since everything is completed, press Publish Comments.
When the initiator or another reviewer opens it, the name is now Unknown and the file name is under Description and there is no way to identify the file or open it.
Can someone please help us with what we are doing wrong? They make it sound so simple, but nothing we try works. This was one of several feature that management really wanted.
Thanks, Diane

Hello Anoop,
1. We are hosting our Shared Review Workflows on our internal network server using Windows 7 (not 8), 64 bit.
2. Yes, all the other reviewers and I are using the most current version of Acrobat Pro.IX or Acrobat Reader (version 11.0.08) with the exception of one reviewer who is using Acrobat Reader 8.
The reviewer using Adobe Reader 8 is the only one who does not have the problem. She attaches a file in a slightly different manner (Attach file as a comment) and her file attachments can be opened and viewed by everyone.
I have discussed this in the Adobe User Community Bulletin Board for "How to work with comment tools in Acrobat XI." Lori Kassuba was able to replicate the problem during a shared review and thinks it may be a bug:
The title of the entry is:

Hi Diane Yarger,
I was able to replicate the same thing during a shared review so I think you may have run into a bug. Please post this issue here:

As Lori suggested, I reported this problem as a potential "bug" to the cfusion link above. No one has contacted me about it.

How do I get pdfs to open in IE 9 from web links and not in Acrobat Pro 10.1.12

We are unable to open pdfs in IE9 browser for our users with Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 installed as these files open in AcrobatPro instead. Works fine for those users with Adobe Reader installed.
I have checked in IE that the add-ons are enabled (Adobe PDF, Adobe PDF Conversion Tool, SmartSelect Class, + Adobe Reader[via the Run without permission list] as per the link Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
OS is MS Windows 2008 Server R2 + Citrix.
NB Adobe Pro Preferences\Internet\Web Browser Options\Display PDF in browser is disabled to I can't change this.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi Howie-G,
You might need to refer this kB file and troubleshoot the same:
Can't view PDF on the web
Also, you might go to registry (Wind+R->type regedit) and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Then, please check that correct default data value is set to the path where Acrobat is installed.
The default installation value is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.1\Acrobat\AcroRd32.exe" (Check for your PC)
Please let me know if that worked for you.

Anubha

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.

Creating Hyper-Links in Acrobat Pro 8

Good Day;
I am somewhat new at this so please forgive me if this question has been asked before.
I am running Acrobat 8 pro and I am designing some forms. One of the things I want to do is imbed a hyper-link in some of the text. This hyper link will take the user to the documentation on a webpage.
I have created a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 (part of Adobe Acrobat 8 pro not LiveCycle ES). Within this application there does not appear to be a way to create the hyper-links. I then opened the form in Acrobat 8 pro and the link tool is not available.
Is there a way to create a hyper-link in the form?
I hope I have explained this correctly

If you created the form using Designer, you must make any edits in Designer and not Acrobat.

I am trying to use Acrobat Pro version XI to crop my PDF but can't find the "PAGES" tools

I have a 1 page PDF that is 9.5 inches wide with about 1.5 inches of margin. I want to crop off the extra white space and center the image so that it fits on a normal letter sized page. However, I can't find any sort of crop or trim command in Acrobat. When I google cropping a PDF I find references to a crop command that is in some sort of "pages" collection of tools but I don't have any pages menu either. Is there a way to use Acrobat Pro for cropping ? How?
I also have photoshop and have tried importing and cropping there but when I export the image back to PDF format I find that its 10X the size it started. Its important for my purposes that the file be small.

Well it was installed yesterday and I spent hours trying to find the option as virtually the first thing I did when I launched it, so I'm quite sure I would have remembered if I changed it. However it was installed by a push from our corporate software distribution system so maybe that has a way of reconfiguring some options. Why they'd bother is a mystery to me though. Anyway, good to know, thanks again

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.

I have been unable to download adobe acrobat pro, which I purchased on a month to month basis almost exactly 1 year ago, since I purchased it. I just received a renewal email and it had a link to download the program and for the first time when I clicked

I have been unable to download adobe acrobat pro, which I purchased on a month to month basis almost exactly 1 year ago, since I purchased it. I just received a renewal email and it had a link to download the program and for the first time when I clicked on the link it actually sent me to a page that had the icon to download now. I clicked on that, but when I went to open the file and start downloading after about 3 minutes into downloading it says an error had occurred. Can anyone help me?

I am a little worried. If you are an existing subscriber why would Adobe need you to download... I wonder if the message is a fake.
I'm not clear, if you've had it for a year, whether you need to download, or you are just following the email?
This page with the icon to download now. Was it a page on adobe.com ?

Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9

I'm assessing the Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9 for business use, and have some very specific questions about its functionality:
When I initially load a pair of PDFs to compare, occasionally Acrobat refuses to accept them as anything but "scanned documents" even though they are fully electronic-sourced PDFs created in, usually, Adobe illustrator. What are the specific criteria that cause Acrobat Pro to force the "scanned documents" type? Is it related to the presence of only "flattened"/"outlined" text instead of embedded fonts? Lack of layers? Some other graphical feature? How do the comparison parameters/performance change when the loaded docs are designated as scanned rather than one of the other types?
Second, when I've done a Compare on two nearly identical documents and then call up the "old and difference images" display - is there any way at all to manipulate this display? Some of my docs are large - potentially full press-sheet size of around 24" x 40", and when the differences between them are tiny (e.g., a change in only a few Braille dots over the entire graphic) the on-screen rendering of the "difference image" side of the display is relatively tiny and practically useless, although it contains exactly the information I need to see. Can it be grabbed/stretched/magnified/saved/printed/analyzed some other way besides how it is? It seems to disappear literally at the first mouse-motion or key-touch, which is incredibly frustrating. Are there any changes or improvements in this feature in version 10.x over version 9.2.0 (which is the latest version my company has approved)?
Third, also at the post-compare stage, the feature tags a small printer info block in a corner of the document with "This image was replaced" even when I know the info block has not been changed. Why could this happen?

Sounds like you want to do this on a server, but you should know that Adobe Acrobat cannot legally be used on a server.
For server-based PDF operations you can look at Adobe LiveCycle products or our Adobe PDFLibrary (available in both Java and C++)

Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
-line color: yellow
-line thickness: 8pt
-opacity: 60%
and fot the arrow tool as this:
-line color: red
-line thickness: 1pt
-opacity: 100%
This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
-line color: yellow
-opacity: 60%
only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
Is there a way to get around this?

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24. Can someone help me with this? - JML
