Acrobat Pro 9 search feature seems broken....

I have occasional need to search a company schedule published in .pdf format. When I recently installed Acrobat Pro 9 on my WinXP machine I let it become the default application for opening .pdf files. However, if I open the schedule document in question in Acrobat Pro the search engine doesn't work.
By doesn't work I mean I search for a word and the search stops on some unrelated word, or partial word, and never finds what I'm looking for. If I open the same document in Acrobat Reader 8.1 the same search still works fine.
I've tried all the search options in Pro full word, etc) I can find to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions what the problem might be?

I had this problem with some of our users.
I solved it by opening the PDF file in question.
I went to File>Preferences>Search
I then clicked "Purge Cache Contents"
That appeared to resolve the issue.

  • 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.

  • Problems downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro, Mac, lost Photoshop CS5

    I was loading Adobe Acrobat Pro, and as it seemed not to be downloading (taking much too long) I forced quit. It disappeared from the desktop and I can not reload. Error code 131:4 Also my Photoshop CS5 disappeared! I have it  in my system but as it was loaded from Adobe due to issues with my old copy, I don't have a code to reload> Help where do I go?

    I don't understand what this means; you don't have your serial number?

  • How to change the email client for the 'Review' features.  Acrobat Pro X

    Acrobat Pro X (10.1.2) was installed on a system that used Lotus Notes (v8.5) email client, all was well.  The system was then upgraded to MS Outlook 2010, so Outlook is now the email client on system.  While reading a PDF document an email address can be double clicked and a new Outlook message is started.  Problem is on the Comment toolbar the features under Review will still prompt for a Lotus Notes password.   Seems Acrobat is still wanting to email ‘reviews’ using Notes.  Finding no Option to change here and GOOGLing at this to no avail am posting here.  
    A registry tweak or some INI file to change here?  Any help please.  My fallback plan is to remove and re-install Acrobat Pro. 

    Try making sure your default email program is set under Edit > Preferences > Internet category > Internet Settings ...Programs tab in Acrobat.
    You can also try doing a Help > Repair Acrobat installation since you installed Outlook after installing Acrobat.

  • 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.

  • When creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro it seems to change my reference numbering system???

    I am trying to create a PDF file using Acrobat Pro trial version (before I buy it I need to know if it works for me).  The file I am using is a condensed version of a report so it has some of the tables/figures omitted and therefore the numbering sequence isn't sequential ie.  it can jump from Figure 9-2 to 9-4.  For some reason - when creating the PDF - the program is CHANGING the numbering system of the original file in the body of the document - but the Table of Contents keeps it how I had it.  HELP??!!!  How do I make it just create the PDF exactly how it is in the Word document file without automatically making any changes like that to it?!
    I have tried several ways to create the PDF - in Word - I tried doing it as a Print command, also in Word I tried doing it from there, also I tried creating it from a file right in Acrobat Pro.  I also tried "protecting" the document first - but this didn't work either.
    Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

    You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
    Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
    CMYK? Any spot colors?
    The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
    Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
    types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
    where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
    setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
    Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
    "Printing" to
    "None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
    screen match what ends up in the PDF.
    There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
    file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
    Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
    Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

  • How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0.  They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro & Reader 9 broken

    I downloaded and installed the latest updates yesterday which included Mac OS X 10.6.3. When I tried to open a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it immediately crashes. The same is true for Acrobat Reader 9. I can open PDFs just fine with Preview. However, there are times I need some of the features of Acrobat Pro.
    Has anyone else had this problem after the latest update? And fixes or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you installed all the updates available from Adobe for Acrobat Pro and Reader?

  • Search not working in Acrobat Pro Extended or Reader (v9)

    I just created a 3d pdf from Right Hemisphere.  I would like my end user to be able to search the model tree or BOM by part name.  However, the search feature only finds the part about 10% of the time.  I'm having difficulty troubleshooting this one.  Should this feature work or am I just spinning my wheels?  Or, are there limitations to the search feature in a 3d pdf?
    Thanks

    I have a simple 3d pdf with lots of objects (Created in 3dsmax, exported  to pdf from Right Hemisphere).  One window contains the Bill of  Material.  This window is very small and only about 8 parts are shown in  the window.  In the serach bar, if I type in the name of an object that  is visable in the BOM window(ie. box), it will be found.  If I type a  part name that is in the model but not visable in the BOM window (ie.  sphere) Acrobat does not find this object.  Please see the attached  images.  Thanks for your help.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader X - Enable Extended Features for Form

    Using Acrobat Pro 8.3.0, I "Enabled Usage Rights for Adobe Reader" for a fillable form created in LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  The following error message occurs when opening this form in Reader X:
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    The form has not been changed and as mentioned, I am the author.  Any solutions to allow user in Reader X to fill-in form?  Do I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X?

  • Searching in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    I have found that the adobe acrobat pro xi does not do a good job on searching for keywords. I tested 1 document on acrobat 9 standard, X pro & standard and XI pro & standard. I searched the same word on all versions and every version worked except for PRO XI. When searching in there it would randomly pick a word to highlight instead of the word you had told it to search for......Anyone else have this problem or know of a resolution? I have looked for updates but the software is already up to date. Anything will be helpful seeing as we have already purchased this license. Oh yeah and it does it on two separate computers that both have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

    Any information or steps that other people might have taken is welcomed. I will try anything at this point. I have updated, repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing has worked so far.
