Acrobat Pro XI multiple levels of bookmarks

I am nesting my bookmarks in Acrobat Pro XI and need a fourth level. So far, I have only been able to nest to three levels. Does any one know if there is a limit to the levels in bookmarks, and, if so, how to get around it?
Thanks,
Mary

You can keep going beyond level 4 no problem. What's happening to prevent you from doing so?

Acrobat Pro 7 quits when creating bookmarks

I can only go up to Acrobat 7 on my Mac unless I upgrade from OS 10.3.9. PDFs create fine. Create bookmark by highlighting text and hit command-b. Repeat a few times. Save document and Acrobat quits. Original document is Word 2004 for Mac 11.5.0. I suspect Acrobat doesn't like the hidden TOC data in the headings I am using for bookmarks. BUT, this never happened with Distiller 4.0, the last version I used extensively. Anybody got a fix? I have a 1GHz G4 eMac with 768MB ram.

Evidently I mispoke, it works on 10.4. I thought I had been using it on X.3.9.Because I have one hard drive that use X.3.9. Ther are some updates to 7.0 though. Make sure you your using the most up to date version. Sorry for misleading you.

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

Print multiple PDFs from Windows Explorer causes Acrobat Pro 9.4 crash

I sometimes need to create a batch of PDFs independently, after which it suits me to print them all as a single job. FYI I am running Acrobat Pro 9.4 under Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
The sequence of the problem as follows:
- With Acrobat closed, I go to the directory containing my multiple PDF files using Windows Explorer.
- I highlight between three and six PDF docs (each individual doc is small, one page, black and white only).
- I use the "Print" option made available within Windows Explorer.
It's clear that the system then tries to use Acrobat to print these docs, however I consistently get the same behaviour - some print, some do not, but on every occasion I receive the error "Adobe Acrobat 9.4 has stopped working".
Any ideas? Annoying for a paid-for piece of pro software although, granted, not on a level with famine in the third world it would be nice to have all the functionalities working correctly. If it helps my machine spec is below.
Thanks,
Alastair
SPEC:
Dual Xeon workstation
24Gb RAM (of which 22GB available at time of error)
Disk 1TB (RAID10) of which 920GB free
Windows 9 Ultimate 64bit
Acrobat Pro ver 9.4.1

It may partly be a 64-bit issue since AA is apparently a 32-bit application that can run in the 64-bit environment (not that familiar with 64-bit systems, so I may not be stating it correctly. However, I would start by going to the Control Panel>Programs and Features and do a repair on your Acrobat installation. That will hopefully resolve the issue.

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Bookmarks disappear after file save in Acrobat Pro 9

I recently bought Acrobat Pro 9 and have run into a problem with creating, editing and saving bookmarks. (I use InDesign CS2 to create most of my PDFs.)
On only one occasion could I create bookmarks in a normal manner, i.e., selecting pages to bookmark, creating a bookmark using the keyboard <Command B> and entering text into its label. I got through the entire list of bookmarks and saved the file.
When I reopened it, all but one had disappeared. This has happened most of the time.
But there is an additional wrinkle. Except for that one “normal” occasion, what usually happens is that whenever I create a bookmark (by whichever method), my ability to enter text into the label is so short that the only way I can accomplish it is to prepare a list of label contents in a word processor and copy/paste each line into each created bookmark. And I do have to be quick about it. Acrobat will keep generating functional bookmarks as you go along, but when they're all “Untitled” and you can't get get in there to do any real edits, there isn't any point to having bookmarks. (I'm a fast typist.) Invoking TouchUp Text at first gave me a small reprieve, but since then it hasn't helped at all.
When I save the document and close it, on reopening I find again that all the bookmarks have disappeared. Conclusion: they didn't really get saved in the first place.
Previously I used Acrobat 5.

I see that this is a very old thread. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 on OS 10.6.6 and seeing something similar. No real solution, but I thought I'd add a data point and my workaround.
It seems as though SOME, but not ALL, of my bookmarks are "taking." Right now, whenever I add a bookmark AFTER what's probably the first bookmark created in the document, it MIGHT stick around after a save. When I add a bookmark BEFORE that bookmark (as in "it's positioned higher on the list in the sidebar"), it doesn't save. I ended up moving the "good" bookmark to the front of the list, and then adding additional bookmarks after it. These all stuck around after a save.
Because of bugs like this, I'm using Preview in every case possible. Acrobat does more, but it sucks at the basics things you'd expect to work flawlessly. Oh well!

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9?

What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9? I want to use my form as a job ticket but want to know what levels of adobe reader are needed for the end users to be able to fill out & submit the forms without any problems.

Reader 7 and higher should be able to fill out forms and submit if the pdf format allows Reader 7 to fill out the form. However, without problems is a different issue. Submission of forms via email is ALWAYS a problem. It is always better to post the form on a website and have the form filled out on the web and have the data stored or sent to a database for further action.

Acrobat Pro 9.5 crashing with Multiple prints

I have Acrobat 9.5 pro on multiple machines in my office, when trying to print to ANY printer, even to another PDF, if I select more than 200ish pages (8 1/2x11-simple prints), it crashes Adobe Acrobat. This happens wether its a binder or a portfolio. Also when when printing from Acrobat, it really hogs down the systems.
Says no repair is needed, and I know my system is strong enough (these are built for High graphics CAD use)
Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel i7-2700k CPU @3.5GHz 3.90 GHz

Any Suggestions or patches would be grateful. I would really like to be able to send my 400+ page PDF and walk away.

I already have 9.5.4.
I have over 500Gigs Free space on my HD
I print to B&W, and Color and just back to the Adobe Driver (to create another PDF as a test-and still crashes if I attempt more than about 200 PDFs). I have tried it with 6 Different Printers, even at Economy printing. I always keep all my drivers (like software updates) to the latest and greatest. in fact, I checked to make sure they were all when I got the 1st crash.
If I select more than about 200, the entire program crashes, it doesn't even attempt to start printing.
Printer Spooling Not on.
Just printing simple B & W line drawings (at 8 1/2 X 11)
Here are just a few printers I have tried...
Kyocera TASKalfa 520i KX PS and PCL

Is there easy way to print bookmarks Acrobat Pro 9.5

Is there an easy way to print the bookmarks of an Acrobat file using Acrobat Pro 9.5?
Is there an easy way to expand all headings?
Thank you

Here is something you can try:
With your file open, and assuming it has all the bookmarks setup:
Simply export to HTML (File > Export > HTML > I picked HTML 3.2). That should create an HTML file.
Open the new HTML file and the first thing you should see is a list of all the bookmarks!!!
This worked for me (I have Adobe 9). Let me know if it works for you.
P.S. After copying the list, I pasted in Word and changed the bullets to numbers by right clicking one of the bullets and selecting Numbering!

Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails

Re: Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails.
In Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac, it used to be that I could click on a single thumbnail page in the Pages Navigation Panel (the thumbnail image of that single page would turn blue), then shift-click on another page 3 pages down (with the first and last thumbnail image, along with the 2 thumbnail images in between turning blue), and then drag all 4 pages (i.e., the first and last pages clicked upon and the two pages in between) to another document.
Now, when I try that, only the last thumbnail image clicked upon turns and remains blue, and only that one page can be dragged.
Note 1: I'm using Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Note 2: I checked for this desired ability on a friend's PC running Acrobat X, and it worked fine.
Note 3: I completely reinstalled Acrobat 9.0 and updated it, and the feature described above still does not work.
So, what happened and how can I get this feature to work again?

This is a known bug with 9.4.5: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/865843?tstart=30
There's a good chance it will be fixed in a quarterly update that should be available within a month or two. In the mean time, you can update to just 9.4.4

Headings to Bookmarks - w Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro 9

So Adobe decided to rip us off by denying a fix for the Acrobat Pro Ribbon in MS Office 2010 We refuse to take part on their money making scheme and spend loads to upgrade to Acrobat X just for that (sorry Adobe, try not cheating your customers next time). So we are now unable to use the advanced conversion options once found within MS Office. Grrr again!
We are working with CS5 with Acrobat 9, all properly updated. With that:
- is there any hidden setting or trick that would allow converting Word headings into bookmarks automatically when converting Word documents? It doesn't matter where I start (from Word or from Acrobat) as long as the result is the same
- is there any third-party add-in/plug in that enables the functions we lost with the missing ribbon? Such as options to convert those headings to bookmarks, endnote/footnote links to link in the PDF and so on?
Thanks in advance!

You have three choices:
1. Add the bookmarks in the PDF by hand.
2. Go back to OFFICE 2007.
3. Upgrade to AA X.
Keep in mind that OFFICE 2010 came out after AA 9 that is 2 years old, the basic revision cycle for Acrobat. MS added some major changes that required Adobe to do a major rewrite on AA X to get PDF Maker to work. Call it a money making scheme if you like. One could also look at MS actions that cause problems for other products that work with OFFICE. In fact, one almost suspects that MS puts hooks in their software to mess up competing technology. This has never been proven and may be false, but it is an alternate scenario. In any case, the three choices mentioned are your only alternatives. My understanding is that Adobe has no plans to update AA9 to resolve this problem with OFFICE 2010. This has been a know problem since the release of OFFICE 2010 and it took Adobe some time to even fix AA X to meet the need.
If you are not willing to buy AA X, your best solution is to move your systems back to OFFICE 2007.

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

Linking multiple textboxes in a form Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi all,
I'm making an electronic form with Acrobat Pro 9.
The setup was made in Indesign CS3 after which the form boxes were detected by Acrobat Pro 9. There is a larger text area which consists of multiple lines of text (to be filled in by the user).
For this area there are 2 options:
1- Have multiple textboxes linked together so the text flows to the next box automatically when the current one is full.
or.
2- Have 1 multiline textbox with a larger linespacing.
The problem with 1 is, I can't seem to link multiple boxes together in Acrobat Pro 9. The problem with 2 is, I have no idea how to increase the linespacing.
Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish either 1 or 2?
Thanks in advance,
Bas

Linking the text boxes is not really possible, at least in a seamless manner. I've seen a few approaches using JavaScript, but none that are very well implemented. My usual suggestion is to redesign the form to get rid of the lines and just use a single multiline text box, perhaps with a faint border to indicate to the user where the field is.
If you need the lines because the form might be printed and filled by hand or some other means, then you can set up the field with a bit of JavaScript to set the background color to white if the user enters any text, and transparent otherwise. That way, when the document is printed, the lines won't appear if any text is entered, but will if not. You will not need to be concerned about the line spacing of the field matching up with the lines.
