Acrobat Pro version 8.1.7

I am on Snow Leopard (just switched and Acrobat Pro for the mac version 8.1.7.
I am trying to create forms from PDF's I have. And when I make a box in an area where I need users to fill in and outline the box with a color, when I save this pdf and open it in Apple's PREVIEW it does not show OUTLINES (outlines for my fields). It will show fill color but not outlines. Anyone know why not? Is this compatible with Snow Leopard or must I upgrade to version 9 in Acrobat?
Thanks-

Apple??
If you're asking Apple a question or for a feature you'll probably need to use their feedback support system: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html - We are all just users here.
I would not expect Adobe to support or recommend any program that creates or views a PDF file that was not purchased from or licensed by Adobe. I also don't expect them to fix a bug, or enhance a feature so that it is more compatible with a viewer program, in any OS, that they didn't create. That would be like Microsoft dealing with an OpenOffice problem with reading a .doc file (they have free MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint Viewer programs if you need one).
Preview has never had the ability to use every function that Acrobat Pro can create. Fortunately for most people Preview is as good as it has become. I don't think Apple licenses Adobe's code so there may always be issues. I've read that some companies use javascript in their PDF's for form processing. This is something that Preview will probably not enable as it is now the latest security breach for Acrobat Reader users on the windows side and would be asking for trouble.
I am looking to the near future, where the security experts are predicting the next wave of malwares will be more focused on programs like Acrobat Reader, and technologies like Flash (turn off javascript now).

or
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/12/hackersexploit_adobe_readerf.html
Maybe I don't need Flash on my iPhone.
The OS's themselves are all becoming harder to affect in mass numbers, so I'll avoid waiting for Adobe to catch up as they just laid off another 600 employees (before they've upgraded Reader or Flash to 64bit). They have announced that they will patch Reader again on Jan 12, 2009 to fix the latest zero-day attack that was identified in-the-wild 3 weeks ago.
BTW, windows users who are using Foxit Reader are not affected by the latest attack. 5MB download: http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html
There are many ways to deal with PDF's without using an Adobe product on a Mac or PC, and that's what I prefer to do. Preview is also a 64 bit application that has many other uses, so I don't know how important the feature you are working with is with the Apple software engineers when Reader is a free download and does run on SL.
Since Apple supports creating PDF documents by just printing from any program, and free programs like PrimoPDF for windows do the same thing, I expect that the real Acrobat Pro would be able to create code that these free solutions can't create, and also that their own Acrobat Reader would deal with that code better than some other programs. Nobody wants to pay Adobe for the ability to create PDF's, but sometimes you get what you pay for. It's a mixed bag...
BTW, Preview comes with several versions of MacOS. The problem still has nothing to do with Snow Leopard in particular (re-installing or upgrading to 10.6.2 will not fix this issue). I assume that you would see the same problem with Tiger or Leopard. There are many programs that come with SL that might have an issue or bug that is not part of the OS, but rather with the application. If the problem was with the OS, then Acrobat Reader would have the same problem.

I am running Windows 7 Pro with Abode Acrobat Pro version 9 with the latest update, When I right click on DOC.file I got the menu with one of the option to convert to PDF and if I select more than one file and Right click I used to get a Combine file in PDF, - last week I got windows update and since then those 2 options of convert to PDF and Combine to PDF are not showing any more when i RightClick on any file - instead i got a blank space in the right click menu - I run the repair option from the original CD but result is same - I even un-install all the Adobe Acrobat and re-install it again but same result - any other idea how i could fix this problem?
For your info I am having Acrobat reader installed in same PC

I have read in some other posting that I should register the following DLL witch I did but still no luck the contect of the right click menu is still blanc

Getting an error when running Preflight to embed fonts in Acrobat Pro version 9

I am running Acrobat Pro version 9.4.5 and when I am running a pre-flight for embedding fonts in my document I am getting an error message as follow: "
An unexpected error has occurred during the Fixup process ".
This is occuring at the font processing time. Anybody encountered the same issue.
One detail which has it importance, I am using TTF fonts and some specific Adobe fonts which are located in the Resource\font directory of my workstation.
Many thanks for your help.

Check all your fonts have headers that permit embedding - some commercial fonts don't. Debugging in Preflight is a nightmare, so to find the problem you may have to try the fonts one at a time against a test document until you find the one that whimpers.

How to deactivate adobe acrobat Pro version 10?

I need to reformat my hard drive and I need to deactivate Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10. I go to the help options and "Deactivation" is not even an option.
Any idea of how to deactivate the software if there isn't even an option?
Thanks for your help
Dave

Hi Dave,
You are not getting the deactivate option as it might be possible that Acrobat was installed with volume license serial key.
If the deactivate option is not available then please go ahead and uninstall the program.
After reformatting the drive, re install the software.
Regards,
Anand

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

Acrobat Pro version 6 not working in vista ( Windows 7 ) ?

What is the problem with adobe Acrobat pro version 6 and vista (windows 7)?.....really annoying having to upgrade later version costing hundreds of pounds

I am not sure if VISTA has the same problem as Win7 or not. For Win7, the AcroTray application that is used for PDF creation (both when printing to the Adobe PDF printer and with PDF Maker in AA6) will likely not work correctly. This may also be the case with VISTA. To get around this problem you have to print-to-file (you can change the PDF Port to FILE in the printer properties). After the file is create, you can open it in Distiller to complete the PDF creation. It may be possible to create watched folders to automate this process, but is not as ideal. In any case, you will likely have to use a work around. Also, update your AA6 (currently at 6.0.6). I have been able to do this with AA5 on Win7 as a test and it did indeed work. There may still be other issues for AA5 on Win7, but that was the major one.
All of these changes came from the rewrite that Adobe had to do to be compatible with the new OSs, not a trivial task. Do you want to blame Adobe or MS or both? Take your pick, but the end result is that it is time to upgrade. Unfortunately, AA6 can not be upgraded to AAX. You have to buy AAX at full cost at this point. To get the upgrade you would have to have at least AA7.

Where can I download an install file for Acrobat Pro version 9 for Mac.

I had Acrobat Pro version 9 running fine under Snow Leopard but since upgrading to first Mavericks and then Yosemite it has issues. I was running it under Snow leopard Server and parallels but after some problem it needs reinstalling and I can't find a suitable install file.
I searched the Adobe web site and came up with the Windows version but my Mac version Serial number is no good for that. Any ideas where I might find the file?

You can find the download on http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

Does Acrobat Pro version 9 support Multi-frame/image TIF

does acrobat pro version 9 sdk/api support converting multi-fram/image tiff into pdf ?

Ok I'm probably missing something here. I found examples and documenation for AVConversionConvertToPDF
However, it all seems to be in C. My trouble seems to stem from my not being able to figure what object to declare for which that method is a member of.
Is not AVConversionConvertToPDF not supported in VB? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
Thanks for your help

I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

I accidently deleted my Acrobat Pro version 9. How does one get the application download from Adobe?

I inadvertantly deleted my Acorobat Pro version 9. How can I get a download from Adobe to recover the application?

Thank you Sara,
I have been able to fix the Acrobat issue, but not the PS issue. The final option listed is to reinstall the software. Since my optical drive not longer functions I suppose I will need to have that repaired first… unless you have another suggestion.
While I have your attention, can you please help me resolve a Creative Cloud issue I have been having.
I have been installing CC software successfully until I get to Acrobat XI Pro.
I receive the message, “Please close the following applications to continue: SafariNotificationAgent”
I have followed Adobe online instructions but cannot find where to close this function.
If you can help me with this I will be very grateful.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 7

Hi just moving computers , new one has Windows 7 Pro 64bit - old one was XP pro
Having difficulty with Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 7 - error message "PDF Maker cannot locate Adobe PDF Printers' printer driver - Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 7.0"
Reinstalled same error message
Can anybody assit
Regards
Paul

Other than reading PDFs, what does your question have to do with Acrobat. Did you install Acrobat, or even Reader? What Operating system do you have and what program versions. When you decide what you have and have an actual question, you might create a new topic in the forum. This one has to do with trying to use AA7 on Win7. Again, what does your question about yahoo mail have to do with this topic, or even this forum. It sounds like a yahoo question unless you have installed a specific Adobe product that is not working correctly. I am not about to try to answer questions about yahoo mail that I don't use when I don't see a connection to 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

Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9 and X): creating limitations in a group of fields.

Hello,
I am building a fillable questionnaire form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X.
Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Win_win

Thanks for your explaination although I am aware of both functions and thats why I chose one over the other.
I can understand that with more experiences with scripts or the software, you can 'play' with the function much easier and better than I could as I'm quite junior to all of these. So I appreciate if you can bare with me as I try to explain what troubles I have and ways I had tried to solve them.
The trouble I have, is Radio buttons have pre-set options and thus would not allow end user to write down their own value. But what I need, is the value and the limitations that the end user could only choose 1 of the 3 options from a group. (Note that I am not using any scripts so I'm using the softwares' function as-is.) In other words, if the group for 1 button has answers as A, B, or C. I want to know how much of A. And not a pre-set value of A. If the end user chose A, then B and C would not be chosen. As it's either the quantity of A, or B, or C.
Also, what I did not understood from your message earlier today was what is a 'nullstring' in a text field and how to create that?
It seems from your response earlier that I could solve my problem with either Radiobuttons or, Checkboxes.
If I were to use checkboxes, then how can I 'add a control to make the text field read-only when one of the checkboxes has been selected' as you've suggested?
Is one option better than another? At managing responses received?
I will have to repeat this for quite an amount of questions I have for the form, so whichever that is easier to achieve and would produce minimum problems /errors, would be preferred.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.
