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 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?

  • IPOD freezes when I run

    Everytime I run my IPOD freezes up. I can reset it but only while standing still. It runs fine after being reset until I start running again. I have tried with and without hold on but it doesn't seem to matter. I have already had to have my IPOD reformatted by Apple once. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do to prevent this. Supposedly the IPOD was fine for running.

    My iPod freezes when I run too. Since the original iPod I was usuing lasted 18 months, even in Iraq, I decided that it was normal wear and tear so I purchased a new iPod. However, this new iPod didn't even make it a 1/2 mile before it froze. I reset it twice and it froze again each time. This is really disappointing and I cannot beleive that Apple does not do anything about this. I can't even get a support tech to talk to me. I have contact the state's attorney general's office to see if there are any other complaints. They stated that a class action lawsuit can be a poosibility if enough people join together.
    I was very happy with the iPod and even solicted other users but this to me is unacceptable. Apple should advertise that the iPod can not handle a simple task as running. They obviously know about this problem but refuse to acknowledge it b/c of the potential to lose so much business as everyone using an MP3 player to run with.

  • My itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes down after about 5 min. im using windows7

    my itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes off after about 5minutes. im using windows7

    DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
    - IDE controler failure
    - Bad cables
    - Bad harddisk
    Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
    What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...

  • 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) 

  • Arch completely freezes when I run certain applications

    Arch completely freezes when I open Steam or when I attempt to play a YouTube video. They will open, but shortly thereafter Arch will freeze entirely and the only solution is to hold down the power button on my computer.
    My computer's specs:
    CPU: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 520
    Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I checked systemd's journal and the consistent factor that stands out in the entries is the first thing on every list: "Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory"
    As for the problems with the Nvidia drivers, I have no idea. Although, after a quick search on Google, I've found that apparently I'm not the only one with similar issues.
    Thank you for replying.
    EDIT: I now have the Nvidia drivers installed. I used a patch that I found deep within the Nvidia forums. Now I'm going to try the applications out to see if they work.

  • When backing up catalog it loops after about 70%-PS7

    Hi I am trying to do by first backup of the catalog of about 3000 files.To external drive Always, after about 70% it ends up in a loop with "Program not responding" shown in Task manager. I have     checked that the catalog does not need repairing    its Ok:     there is lot of space      170 Gb :    it doesn't need defragging ;    run Chkdsk on disc and its ok. It starts to go slow at about 50% and gradualy gets slower The folder that has been saved looks Ok with about 2000 files in. I then tried to do an incremental backup on that folder , but it woudln't do it. I get no error messages of any sort and the system is all Ok for all others apps Cpu load when loops is low, with PS at about 5% and mostly the system is idlle Any ideas please Thanks Chris

    Hi I am afraid I am still not getting anywhere. Thanks for your patience. Firstly on checking my log book, I didn't get this catalog from my previous PS version. I started again from Explorer folders. So I misled you. Sorry. Though I do have a previous version with some of the same photos , and many many more in its catalog.I have been gradually moving across , but from Explorer as I didn't want them all moved across. The nearest path to what you suggested on my XP machine is below. I cannot find Program Data, only Program files: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog\projects And this folder is empty. I am still hunting. Chris

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Tiger freezes when screensaver runs or any time during the work

    Hello everyone!
    After I've connected LaCie external hard-drive, Tiger freezes every time screensaver runs. Sometimes it happens at any point during the work without any reason. I can move the mouse (when screensaver is on, though, after I moved the mouse the screen would go blank). LaCie works great and I don't think the problem is in it.
    Also, right before this started I'd installed the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update. May be that is the reason. I don't know. I did what is in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=487116
    In particular, I re-installed Mac OS X 10.4.6 combo update - it won't work. I've done permissions repairment, disk repairment, etc. Disk didn't require any repairments.
    I tried disconnecting LaCie it won't help as well. What else might be done before I re-install Mac OS X itself (which I really don't want to do).
    Regards,
    Sergei
    eMac PPC G4 1.75 GHz 768 MB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Since you've restarted and hard reset, the next step is to restore it.  Make sure you have it backed up via iTunes and then setup as new.

  • 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 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.
