Hi Bruno ,
Could you please verify the Acrobat version you are using is the latest Acrobat DC or some older version ?
Does this happen with any particular PDF file or all the documents ?
If you haven' tried repairing your Acrobat ,please try the same and see if that helps .
For repairing Acrobat Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help> Repair Acrobat Installation .
If that does not work you could probably uninstall the software and try downloading it again and see if that fixes the issue .
Let us know how it goes .

Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter Question

Hello,
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter 6.0 installed on a WinXP machine. I am also using Windows Search 4.0. My question is on how to create an embedded index of PDF files so that I may search with a keyword through 100 PDF files as an example. This is actually my last resort after searching thoroughly on the web. I have read articles ranging from editing the registry to how to create a single index within Adobe Acrobat for a single PDF file. Again I am looking to create one index that consists of multiple PDF files. If any can help me I would very much appreciate it. I just say to myself that at some point in time some programmer must have said to himself, can I search for a keyword through 20 PDF files on a desktop system or server?
Thank you,
Peter

Hey john,
Please try downloading Acrobat 8 from the following link:

Acrobat SDK and MFC

Hi,
sorry for this noob questions, I have just graduated, and have no experience with MFC or the Acrobat sdk.
I have tried for some while to get a dialogbox opened and have followed the plugin apps developer guide and this guide http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc2c0c7 , but I get an error message, "Assertion failed", every time I try to initialize the window. I have managed to localize where it fails. I can't seem to get hold of the modal parent using:
AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
hParent = WinAppGetModalParent(avDoc);
My question is, what am I doing wrong? :P
And is there an other way to get hold of the handle for the modal parent?
best regards
Simen

The plug-in should go in your Acrobat\plug_ins folder (If you have a default install of Acrobat, the full path would be C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins, but this would depend entirely on your system).
You don't need to "open" a plug-in. Once you put it in the correct folder, Acrobat will automatically load it the next time Acrobat starts, as long as the plug-in is compatible with that version of Acrobat.
You should know that a plug-in written for Acrobat 6 is certainly not guaranteed to work with Acrobat 9 (and there is a good chance it may not).

Acrobat SDK and the requirements of other Adobe Products

Hi!
I installed Adobe SDK and Adobe Acrobat Professional the previous year.
The SDK is used in an MS Access solution. As I remember I had to instal Acrobat Prof in order to use th SDK.
Now I am going to run that Access solution on one of my clients PC's.
I have told them that I think they have to instal the Acrobat Prof for that case.
But they want to install the "CS3 WEB PREMIUM" because of some other needs. Will the SDK function as well with this "package"??

Leonard, could you expatiate a bit more on your approach?
What do you mean my managing the views and handling them one at a time? Do you mean taking one page at a time and drawing a rectangle region?
Actually, i didnt see any AVDrawRectanglePDDoc method...which would draw a rectangle in the entire document irrespective of pages..all we have are these foll.functions which takes pageView..n thts where i get stuck as my user defined region doest go beyond current page!
AVPageViewDragOutNewRect (pageView, nX, nY, &deviceRect);
AVPageViewRectToDevice (pageView, &pdUserSpaceRec, &deviceRect);
AVPageViewDrawRect(pageView, &deviceRect);
Can you please tell me exactly by using which method would this be possible?
Bunch of thanks again!

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

PhotoShop CS2 and PDF Presets question.

Hello,
I have installed the recent free release of Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Win 8.1 PC.
I am creating the artwork for a CD Cover, by using a CYMK template from CD-Baby.
They require that the finished artwork be submitted to them in PDF format, using the [PDF/X-4:2008] preset.
I found that Photoshop CS2 didn't come with this preset, but after searching the web, I came across this forum whereby a user posted a link to a "JobOptions" archive file at...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16243351/joboptions.rar
... I downloaded this RAR file and found that there was a file inside called "x4;2008.joboptions"
I installed this preset by the 'EDIT/Adobe PDF Presets/' route, and it seemed to successfully install the preset.
(No errors at least).
Now when I go to save my finished project as PDF, I am given the choice of...
* [PDF/X-1a:2001]
* [PDF/X-3:2002]
* x4;2008
(this is the exact description of each preset).
My only question is, do you think the desired [PDF/X-4:2008] was correctly installed?,
I'm not sure since the naming format is not exactly the same as the first 2 presets descriptions.
Thank you.

thanks for your reply Mylenium.
is it possible that this user preset might not exactly conform to the desired preset I'm after?
is there any way I can get a genuine copy of the factory preset [PDF/X-4:2008]?
thanks.

Acrobat Pro - fillable pdf form questions

I have been looking for a solution for a client of mine. I created their website and they were looking for a way for visitors to open a padf registration form from a link on the site that has fillable fields. Once the fields are full the visitor can print the pdf as it must be handed in so do not have to worry about saving electronically.
I did some research and found Acrobat Pro does this and so far I was able to take a copy of the company registration and make text fields out of the areas that need to be manually filled in. I did this and saved the file now I need to know the following.
Past regular registration forms were downloaded from the company website thru a zip file, Can I take the new fillable file and be able a visitor to open, filll it out and then print it?
any help with this as I have a Mac and need to make sure the fillable pdf is accessable on pcs and mac users.
ralphd

Simply upload the fillable for to the site then provide a link to it.
Whether it opens in the browser and they fill it out there or it downloads to their computer and they fill it out in Reader is up to their preferences.

Font embed and PDF optimizer question

using Quark 7, Acrobat 8 professional, non-intel mac OS10.4.11. According to the quark dialog, the fonts are imbedded. When I look in PDF optimizer, the fonts don't show up. Does this mean they were never imbedded? Also, when I save a file as PDF optimized I get a zero kb figure in the finder panel. Is this correct?
Thanks

Although you may have embedding turned on, Doesn't necessarily mean That fonts are embedded. Only fonts that allowed to be embedded, are those from Adobe, plus other font houses that have agreements with Adobe to allo it. If your trying to embed MicroSoft Fonts. Forget it it They share nothing with anyone. And The chace of it happening are about like the old say saying The chances of it happening are *Slim* and *None* *and Slim just left town*.
Also if you receive a PDF form someone else. They may have run through Optimizer to reduce the size and removed all instances of Embedded font.
If you use common fonts between windows and Apple say for example Ariel There should only be subtle differences in the look of the PDF if you have use system fonts turned on.

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pdf Conversion

I am not sure I am in the correct forum, but I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I cannot convert existing Word files, for example, to pdf. A message comes up: "PDF Conversion Failed." And that's it. No explanatory message or suggestion how to correct it.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

Adobe acrobat reader and pdf for ipad ?? cant open some files

I am having trouble opening a group or package of several pdf files on my IPAD I have downloaded an app that allows me to open a single pdf file, but there are limitations for other files. any suggestions?

I have GoodReader installed and I cannot get it to open a PDF package. I just get a splash screen that tells me that I need to update to Adobe Reader 9 to view the files properly. This is the first thing that I have thrown at GoodReader that it can't handle. GoodReader is well worth the $.

Acrobat Versions and PDF Standards

I need a mapping of which versions of Adobe Acrobat correspond to which versions of the PDF specification. I need this to assist our customer's standards registry/product registry correlation. I do not need anything older that Acrobat 6.FYI, the current PDF standard is Version 1.7.
Thanks

FYI - From WikiPedia:
(1993) – PDF 1.0 / Acrobat 1.0
(1994) – PDF 1.1 / Acrobat 2.0
(1996) – PDF 1.2 / Acrobat 3.0
(1999) – PDF 1.3 / Acrobat 4.0
(2001) – PDF 1.4 / Acrobat 5.0
(2003) – PDF 1.5 / Acrobat 6.0
(2005) – PDF 1.6 / Acrobat 7.0
(2006) – PDF 1.7 / Acrobat 8.0
(2008) – PDF 1.7, Adobe Extension Level 3 / Acrobat 9.0 (The one for the ISO 32000 standard conformance)

Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
"3.2 Development Restrictions. You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned. That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application. And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat. I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's. So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application. The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks. I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
So, when you say:
"You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
Do you mean:
It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
And when you say:
"Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
Do you mean:
Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing? (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
Thanks for your input.

Set PDF Document Properties Initial View by Acrobat SDK with C#

Hi,
Here am trying to set the PDF document initial view by the Acrobat SDK with C#.

From the above code {doc.SetPageMode(3);} is working for set the page mode.
But I am having problem in following code {doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");}
Because it won’t work I do’t known, and there is no clear samples in the SDK reference document.

Adobe PDF Library

Hi,
I have a Acrobat Plugin component implemented using the Acrobat SDK and now I would like to replace this SDK with the
Adobe PDF Library SDK. Is this option would be possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul Rasheed

Depending on what features of the SDK you have used, yes it is quite possible.
You will need to license the PDFLibrary from Datalogics (http://www.datalogics.com).
