Acrobat Professional 8.1 - Lines Disappear

We recently upgraded from Word 2002 to Word 2007 and from Acrobat Professional 7.0 to 8.1. When I try to create a PDF from a Word file with Acrobat 8.1 (from either Word 2002 or 2007), some of the lines in the table disappear. We did not have this problem with Acrobat 7.0.
Can anyone help, please? We often convert this same table and others using Word. I've tried everything I can think of...can someone help, please?
Thank you!

Shannon,
I found that if you increase the weight of the line to 1 (on tables it defaults to .5), that seemed to work. I'm not sure if it will work in PowerPoint or on diagrams. Much more work to change all the lines to 1 point.
Hope that helps.

Acrobat Professional for Mac...Bookmarks disappear, other problems

I am using a Mac with OS 10.6.6, and using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.5. I find that I often lose some but not all bookmarks in documents after I save the file, close and then reopen the file. I also get one or two randome bookmarks that WILL NOT DELETE no matter what I do.
I also use the link boxes (to insert URLs) and those seem to move around the page, disappear, or move to other pages. Is anyone else having these problems?
I also CANNOT get the 8.2.5 patch to take on my machine.
Any ideas?

Acrobat 8 is not OS X.6 compatible.

PDFs look different in Adobe reader and Acrobat professional compared to the built in PDF viewer on windows 8

Hi there,
I have been trying to narrow down an issue we have been having for some time in printing PDF files and finding that they look different on paper compared to screen. Up until today our big KIP plotter got the blame, but as I have been collecting notes on a little windows 8 tablet I noted that PDFs opened in the windows PDF viewer have the same visual defects as the printouts. My example today is that on a CAD drawing there is a small box/frame with a number in their, I tried printing and the frame was completely blacked out. As a test I tried saving the PDF as a TIFF file from Adobe Acrobat professional and this file had the same fault as the printed copy. When I open it in the windows 8 pdf viewer I can see that there is a shading within this box that does not show on Adobe Reader (latest version 11.0.10.32), the adobe reader and acrobat pro version both show a white background to the box. We have been having lots of issues with sections being missing from drawings and overly feint lines.
I am not sure where to start trying to narrow down why we are getting different results in different PDF readers. Is there anyone who maybe able to point me in the right direction? It almost feels like the shading or colour density is not being consistent when PDFs are being opened in different packages.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Some PDF viewers comply with the PDF ISO Standard (ISO 32000) "just enough" while others (such as Adobe's) fully comply.
As with anything there's a cost to using anything that comes from a "just enough" approach.
Be well...

CONVERT_OTF error while opening the file in acrobat professional.

Hi Gurus,
I'm using 'CONVERT_OTF' to convert smartform to PDF and then I'm saving the file to application server (Code shown below). ADOBE Acrobat Viewer can handle this error when you open the PDF file - you don't get an error message.
Adobe Acrobat Professional can also open the corrupted file but you'll get the following message if you close it:
'Do you want to save changes to file before closing?'
Kindly help me why some files can be processed successfully and some files gets corrupted.

Acrobat Professional Windows 9.1.3 Crashing in Preflight Droplet

Hi,
I created a preflight droplet using Acrobat Professional 9.1.3 in Windows XP SP2 and when I run the droplet I'm getting the message "DDEHandler unhandeled exception caught!". This message appears in every scenario I tried:
- Acrobat running before the file is dropped in the droplet icon
- Acrobat not running before the file is dropped in the droplet icon
- Acrobat running before I started the droplet in the command-line
- Acrobat not running before I started the droplet in the command-line
Eve scenario was tried with a pre-built profile and a custom profile. Nothing works!!!!
If I run the same preflight profile normally in Acrobat (not as droplet), the preflight runs ok, with no error.
Any clue?
It's a trial Acrobat Pro. I'm planning to buy a license if the preflight works...
I just downloaded Acrobat Pro for Mac and I found a very similar crash (of course, with a different error message but with the same conditions) and there's a thread opened in Acrobat Mac forum since February with no solution from Adobe. I'll look for a competitive solution, it seems Adobe isn't interested in provide a decent solution.
The Acrobat's preflight tool is made by a german company, Callas Software, and this company sells similar preflight products (with additional functions and higher prices). Callas' products work very fine in Mac and in PC.
If you need a scriptable preflight, please forget Adobe Pro 9....
Best regards,
Lorenzo

http://forums.adobe.com/message/2907499#2907499 – as you say the same error occurs in OS X. Here is the corresponding mac-thread with a bit more information (applying both to Windows and OS X). Note that despite the error Acrobat DOES perform the preflight, but has to be restarted after.
It is an issue with Acrobat 9, and the possible (not very good) workarounds can be summarised as:
Use Acrobat 8 instead
Check the box for making a summary PDF
Do not generate detailed reports
If you are scripting etc. you might also find a way that automates restarting Acrobat after each preflight (yay...) or that closes the summary PDF created after each preflight (if that options is used).
And yeah, I do hope Adobe fixes it as Acrobat does have a whole lot of powerful preflight/fixup tools built in and it's a shame the droplets are broken.

Form designing for compatibility between Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Professional

I have designed a Form using LiveCycle Designer 7.0. It contains a few subforms and lot of javascripting. One of the javascript logic I am using is to display a subform when a user clicks a radio button and hide it when the user clicks another radio button. The subform contains Text field, Numeric field, Rectangle, Line, Button. This worked well with Acrobat Reader 7.
After I installed Acrobat Professional 7, my form breaks. I did a quick test to see where it breaks and came out with the following conclusion.
1. If the subForm contains an Image, Line, Rectangle or Circle control, the subForm rendering throws error (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close) when I click on the radio button to display the subform.
2. If the subForm contains Text control, it is displayed even if subform is invisible.
3. If the subForm contains Checkbox, Radio, Dropdown list, List Box, Button, Submit By Email, Submit, Print Form, Reset Form; these controls are never displayed even if subform is visible.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.
I need some clarification. When you say 7.0.5 version, are you expecting 7.0.5 version of Reader or Professional?
Here's the steps I followed:
I originally had Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and everything worked great.
Now I have uninstalled Designer and Reader and installed
Acrobat Professional Tryout. This installs Acrobat Professional version 7.0.0 and Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 (which is the same as above). Now the same forms which were working earlier are not working as expected.
Please note that I have NOT installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.5. How do I find out what version of Reader does Designer user for PDF preview?
If I separately download Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, how do I tell Designer to use that version for PDF preview?
Thanks,
Satish

Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Reader

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (AP) and Adobe Reader 9
(AR) installed on a WinXP system. Both AP and AR work, but if one
is open I cannot start the other: If AP is open and I try to open
a pdf file in AR (right click -> open with... -> Acrobat Reader
9) the file opens in AP. If AR is open and I try to open a pdf
file in AP the opposite happens.
I am sure there must be a setting somewhere that turns this
behavior off but I cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated.

You are simply finding another reason why Adobe does not recommend this combination. You may be able to try the /n command line directive to see if it allows multiple runs between the two.

Error using the distiller in Acrobat Professional 8 to create a PDF from an Aspose.Words .doc docume

Hi,
We use Aspose.Words to create Microsoft Word (.doc) documents from one of our Intranet applications. These documents are then further modified in Microsoft Word and are then converted to PDF files using the distiller in Acrobat 8 Professional.
The distiller ends with a message saying it encountered an error and could not complete the conversion.
If we create a document directly in Microsoft Word and then use the distiller to convert it to a PDF, the distiller runs just fine.
Would you have any idea of what might be causing this problem? The distiller gives no indication of the cause of the problem, only that is one!
I also tried using the Create Adobe PDF Online service to convert the same Aspose.Words .doc file and it worked fine.
Any help you can give on this would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I mistakenly referred to the distiller.
We are using PDF Maker in Word. It appears as an icon on the Word toolbar once Acrobat Professional 8 has been installed. When I open the Aspose.Words .doc document in Word and click on the toolbar icon, PDF Maker launches and starts the conversion program and then Microsoft Word ends with their standard message "Microsoft Word has encountered an error and needs to close...".
I also tried going into Acrobat Professional 8 and chose File --> Create PDF --> From File off the menu bar. I selected the same Aspose.Words .doc document file to convert and once again the conversion process started, but this time it gave me the following error message:
"Unable to convert PDF file.
Invalid page range or conversion setting parameters."
When I clicked on OK to clear the message, I got the following:
"Acrobat could not open 'xxxxx.doc' 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 or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft applications."
I assume that since the on-line service can successfully convert this document, it is a supported file type and is not damaged (not sent as an email attachment, so no issue there). I tried opening the document in Word and printing it to Adobe PDF and that worked, but my users really like the convenience of the Acrobat toolbar so I would like them to be able to use it to create PDF files from Aspose.Words documents.
I am using all the default settings. Is there some setting I should be changing?
As I mentioned earlier, I did try the Create Adobe PDF on-line service with this same file and it worked just fine, so there seems to be a difference between how the on-line service does the conversion and how PDF Maker does it. Printing the document to Adobe PDF also works, so again, there must be some difference in the way PDF Maker does it.
Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much!

Creating a Form in Acrobat Professional 8

I am attempting to create a fully-interactive PDF form, using an MS Word Document which I created using Word 2007 on my system, which is Windows Vista Home Premium. I want the colleagues to whom I send this form to be able to complete it on line, and return it to me by e-mail. I have tried to do this in 2 ways:
I have opened the MS Word document, clicked on Acrobat, Create PDF, and in the window entitled Save Adobe PDF file as: I selected Fully Functional PDF and indicated that the resulting file be saved on my Desktop. It appears that the process does complete, but I can find the resulting file NOWHERE on my system. I've searched in every way possible, and find only a shortcut to the new file, but not the file itself. I obtain an error message when I click on this shortcut!
I have also opened my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional software, and selected Create PDF, from file. I selected the correct file, and the conversion process began. After 10% of the conversion was complete, the following message appeared: "PDF Conversion process failed; please correct the error and retry". However, I have no idea what the "error" is, so I cannot comply!
The form I am working with is NOT a template, but one I have created. My needs are not met by any of the available templates available within the program. I am at a loss for a solution, and hope that someone on this forum can help me.

please delete me from your mailing list. tks.

Acrobat Pro 9, blank lines in text boxes vanish upon save

Folks,
Since I upgraded from Acrobat Pro 8 to 9, whenever I put blank lines in a text box, the blank lines disappear as soon as the PDF is saved.
Here's an example:
- Open a PDF file
- Click on text box tool in the toolbar (or from menu Comments->Comments and markup Tool->Text box tool
- Draw a box on the PDF page somewhere
- Enter "First line", then hit Return twice to add a blank line below, enter "Second line"
- Right now my text box contains two lines of text separated by a blank line
- Hit save
- Blank line vanishes in the text box. Now the two text lines are on adjacent rows.
This did not happen in either Acrobat Pro 7 or 8. I've been using textboxes consistently for years without this silly behavior.
Any suggestions? I've looked through forums and knowledge bases and such to no avail.
I have acrobat pro version 9.0.0 running on XPSP3.
Thanks!
Petros

Hello Petros,
I figured out how to make this work, at least on my computer. Hold CTRL key and hit ENTER. This leaves the space. Hope this works for you.

FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI

Good morning!
I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file. This is working as it should.
However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in Acrobat Professional XI.
Is this the default? Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
I have Windows XP
in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
Are there other changes that need to be made?
We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect. Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
As always--Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your quick response!
no--it is an fdf file. Has an .fdf extension.
One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account. The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Typing in Acrobat Professional

I typed some information into a document using Acrobat Professional, I saved the document and then went back to make changes and cannot. Any ideas why? I can on other documents that I open, just not this one. I have been having difficulties lately with this program, is it time to upgrade to ver 10? I was on the line with adobe last week to check the cost of this product, I was on hold for over an hour and finally hung up.

I have 7.1.0 and it worked perfectly up until last week when I had to install an update. Then my computer kept crashing and kept rebooting. I had to uninstall Adobe 7.0 and reinstall it and then go back for the updates. I am using the typewriter tool as I do everyday, this particular time, I type, save it and then go back to make changes and cannot (which I can any other time). Thanks you for any information you can provide.

I am revising a form in Acrobata Professional 8

My question is,
When I test my form, I only tab a few places and then it goes to the middle of the form. It tabs to the bottom and then goes back to the top. How can I fix this that it will tab in order all the way through.

Problem in adobe acrobat professional 7

Hi Friends,
Please help me. I am working in "windows 7 professional" 32bit. and also install abobe acrobat professional 7 in my system. i set the guides and unites line for in my pdfs. when i close the application the guides lines mesument is disapper. i will set every time when open my adobe application. its very manual work for me.
Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With AA7, you will have to hunt for the work arounds to get it to work properly in Win7. Do expect some problems to occur that may not be able to be solved. Apparently you do not have a 64-bit version of Win7, or it probably would not work at all. A year or 2 back there was a lot of dicussion for AA8 users and Win7, with one or 2 mentioning they got it to work in the 64-bit version. I don't remember anyone else tryin AA7 on Win7, so you may be on your own -- basically because it is something none of us have tried. We may still be able to comment and give some thoughts, but probably not much more. You are likely to get a lot of the compatibility comments and that is appropriate, but does not help you.
What you might have to do is create a folder (If you can figure it out based on Win XP) and try to set that up for your data. Win7 stores system data in different folders (hopefully the registry is the same). That is not a lot of help, but is probably what the problem is. Systems have gone through a document and settings folder to a user folder, and so on. That may be the issue that Acrobat just can't find the folder to write the info into. Of course, it could be a registry issue also.

Adobe acrobat professional 7.0 installieren

Hi All!
I had purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 some years ago and have now been forced to migrate to a new PC. When I now follow the instructions of the Adobe-Website (deinstall all CR2 and Adobe-products, download the exe-file and enter the rgistration code from the website), I remain without success: Upon starting Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 on the new computer, the following
message appears:
The Adobe Helpline was just a line, but no HELPline, as they mentioned in a astonishing arrogant way that the product is seven years old and they don't support ist. From my point of view, being a professional writer, I just can't afford to pay another 650 Euros for a Adobe Acrobat Professional 11.0.
Can someone help me, please?
Thank you
Gerhard

Selbst so ein Schlaumeier. Schau lieber was Du schreibst. Bislang hast Du nur von Acrobat 7 geschrieben, nichts von Acrobat X.
Wenn Du diesen hast, weshalb installierst Du nicht diesen. Dieser läuft auf Deinem Betriebssystem. Um diesen zu installieren braucht es auch keine Installation der Version 7, lediglich die Seriennummer der Vorversionen werden abgefragt werden, manchmal muss auch die CD zur Echtheitsüberprüfung eingeschoben werden.
Du bist ganz schön belämmert und arrogant. Du schimpfst durch die Gegend, weil Dir nicht geholfen wird, wie Du es Dir vorstellst, aber rückst notwendige Informationen nicht mal raus, wenn man danach fragt, bzw. machst Angaben, die zumindest diesem letzten Post widersprechen. Also nochmals: Hirn einschalten, Stroh wegräumen und an der eigenen Nase anfassen und aufpassen, dass die Finger nicht rotzig werden. Man will ja in Zukunft noch notwendige Informationen wenigstens aus Deiner Nase rausziehen.
