Acrobat Standard 8 freezes when scanning

I have been using Standard Version 8 for 4 years, scanning and saving multipage documents, including graphics and text. Now it freezes after sending 12 pages through the scanner and before getting the dialog to choose between adding more sheets and finish scanning. I think it will scan a one page document, but I don't know where the cut-off is as far as page numbers, if that is the issue. Now I must end the process or the process tree and I don't know if that will create further problems.
I have just uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have the same issue.

Hi,
I'd like to clarify some points. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature, not unlike how you use a pen to create (what we refer to as) a wet ink signature. When it comes to applying a digital signature to a document, you can sign just about any blob of electronic data. You can sign your e-mail or a MS Word document as well as a PDF file. The signature itself lives either in the document (that's how Acrobat does it when signing a PDF file), or it can be an external attachment (that's what the smime.p7s file is you might see attached to some e-mail messages).
Here is where I'm a bit confused. How many digital IDs do you have access to? If you only have one, does it cause Acrobat to lock up when signing a specific PDF file or when you try to sign any PDF file? Same question if you have more than one digital ID available to sign with, they all cause Acrobat to lock you when signing just one specifc file or any file? When you try to sign, are you signing an existing signature field, or are you creating a signature on the fly, be it either visible or invisible? If it is just one file that is causing the problems then that file is probably corrupt. If it's any file then it is a more systemic problem and I don't have an off the shelf answer for you.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well. I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes. The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location. I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

Acrobat 10 freezes when optimizing a PDF in custom scan

Hello,
Running into an issue where we use the Custom scan feature in Acrobat. In the window, I even uncheck Optimize Scanned PDF, but Acrobat still optimizes regardless. Going to Options for Optimize and turning everything off does nothing either. Current version is 10.1.5.
Our scanner is Fujitsu 4860C2 using Kofax VRS TWAIN driver. From what I can tell it is the latest driver and software. The kofax has a feature called Enable Advanced Clarity which is necessary for quality scan. If we turn this feature off, the optimize freezing does not occur.
Any idea what causes this?

Update - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and the drivers. Now, even if we turn off advanced clarity it freezes. So evidence is pointing to a bug in adobe custom scan. Acrobat ignores the optimize scanned PDF checkbox, it will attempt to optimize regardless.

Acrobat 7 freezes when combining multiple files

I'm running Acrobat 7 Standard, and whenever I attempt to combine multiple PDF files acrobat will freeze up completely. It can scan, and add pages to an open document with no trouble. It will freeze whether I choose Create PDF From Multiple Files within acrobat, or if I select multiple files in windows explorer, then right click and choose Combine in Acrobat...
I have cleared temporary files, repaired the program, and completely reinstalled the program. Even after a fresh reinstallation, it will lock up when trying to combine multiple files. It does everything else just fine.
I am running a HPCompaq dc5100 MT, with Windows XP Pro. I have 2GB ram, and a P4 3.2Ghz processor. I also have a database program called Laserfiche that I run, though this problem occurs whether I have Laserfiche open or not. I've already tried killing all acceptable processes (minus adobe's of course) and recreated the error. I've also tried this with the most recent update 7.1.0 and without: both yeild the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,
I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
=> When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
=> Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
=> I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
=> then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker)

Acrobat 9 freezes when I open a PDF form

I've looked through the forums, found similar issues, but not one that seems to offer an answer. When I opened a form (set up for online fill in) and try to edit the text to change an address on the form, Acrobat freezes. I can't even get it to quit without force quitting through the apple menu. I checked in the Get Info and the form has no security.

If your trying to do so through Reader, you need to go into Acrobat to advanced menu and choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader.
I was able to go in Acrobat 9.3.0 and file out form
Form is Okay on my screen the logo appears to be scrunched in a Little the Line are jagged as well as the text incated they were not cut down propotionally.

Acrobat 9 Freezes During Scan

Alright, I have been fighting this for a long time. Whenever I do a scan using the TWAIN interface to Adobe Acrobat 9, Acrobat freezes. It goes through the entire scan process, the scanning window disappears, and then nothing. Acrobat just sits there frozen until I close it down. My scanner is a HP OfficeJet 6500. Thoughts, solutions?
Thanks,
Bryce

You might check to see if your scanner driver is up to date. If it is not, download the latest driver and install it. If it is, try to uninstall the driver and reinstall it.
Good luck.

Acrobate IX freezes when printing/creating pdf in Firefox - same settings as in IX

Hi Guys,
Had the product for a week and it is not working... Usual stuff, a new PC take weeks to bed down.
When I try to print/create pdf from something in Firefox, both Acrobate IX and Firefox freeze. I have the old PC with Firefox and Acrobate IX, same default setting and it works everytime. XI freezes. Close Firefox and Acrobate and then re-open and it may print. If it does the next time I try it freezes.
Can anyone help?? not sure how this works... but my email is [email protected]
This place was so hard to find... is there a way to tag this question when an answer comes?? Possibly a Moderator could make it so??

Hi,
Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat & Firefox installed on your machine?

Acrobat X freezes when I run the search function

I've also repaired both installations through the control panel in Windows 7.anyone having similar problems or suggestions on how to fix?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Freezes when combining documents since update to 9.5.5

Having previously used Adobe Acrobat 9 (version 9.2.0) faultlessly to combine documents into a single PDF I now find that since an update to 9.5.5 the program starts the combining process, then pops up a dialogue box requesting a file name and then freezes at the end of the converting process of the first document. I have tried ignoring the request for a filename (whch never used to come up until the combine process was complete with 9.2.0) but the result is exactly the same. I have to cancel the process and as it just sits there doing nothing. Any suggestions most welcome.

I am using the 'combine' option from the menu and then selecting the 'merge files into pdf'.
This is the way I have always done this and it has never caused a problem before. The documents are Word and Excel documents none of which are password protected.
This problem has only persisted since the software upgraded to version 9.5.5.

Acrobat 9 freezes when I print a filled in form

When I click on the print button in Acro 9 the app often freezes. I have to force quit, and then try again. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 attempts before things print normally

OS X 10.5.5
Dell MFP Laser 3115cn (I have no trouble printing in any other application)
I don't know whether it is a "raster" or "postscript" printer. How would I figure this out?
4 GB RAM
Number of open apps varies from 1 to many (as many as 16 or so).
HDD space available= 139gb out of a total of 297gb .
Thanks Mike.

Acrobat X freezing when printing from IE and other apps

Since the last update, each time I try to print to .pdf while in Internet Explorer, or other Microsoft applications, it will not print to file AND it freezes the application (I am left with a print window frozen AND the application frozen). Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi HRPRO-MT,
Please try repairing Acrobat and check if it solves the issue.

Canon MP610 scanner software freezes when scanning on my unibody macbook pr

So my scanning function has been fine until i upgraded to the new unibody macbook pro. I"ve gone to the canon site and downloaded all the software and drivers and it's still doing it. I'm so frustrated with this, if anyone has experienced the same issue or know about it, please help!

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen
