Acrobat X Pro: Action Wizard to Set Document Action

Good Day All,
I would like to build an Action which adds a "Document Will Print" javascript Document Action but for the life of me cannot figure it out. Would anyone know how I would do this? If this is not possible, can I build an Action which will add Javascript to a PDF in order to accomplish the same thing?
Thanks for the help!

Hi ekobpc,
Are you using the latest version of Acrobat X i.e. 10.1.12
Does this happen to every pdf file or any particular one?
You may also try 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the 'Help' menu to check further.

Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from CD and set up asks to insert disk

I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from a CD. I insert the CD and I follow the set up wizard until I get to the point of installing the software and it gives me the option to "Update". I click this button and it begins to install but then a window appears with a message instructing me to insert the disc. I already have the disc inserted so I click the "OK" button, but the window will not go away and the installation does not continue. If I click the "Cancel" button then it tells me that the installation was interrupted. What do I need to do to get past this?

The problem was probably the trial version. Since you already had Acrobat installed, the installer did not know what to do. All you needed to do was open the trial version and activate it and you would have been done. The route you took is fine, but takes longer. Glad you found a solution that worked for you. If you have problems, your first step should be to do a repair and not a reinstall. That seems to come up a fair amount and thought you might find the repair aspect useful.

Acrobat xi pro will not open two documents at the same time

Hello...
I recently upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro and now when I try to open more than one document, the second one turns into a parallelogram and does not open. The only thing that I can do is close everything out and reopen the documents one at a time.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
I have tried to reinstall and repair, both to no avail.
I am using this on a Windows 7 machine 6GB ram.
Thank you

Please explain "turns into a parallelogram and will not open". Can't visualise that at all, please explain. A screen shot might be good (but DO NOT EMAIL IT).

Acrobat X Pro - Unable to open the document

I'm having issues testing Acrobat X Pro trial version and Office 2010 on XP Pro SP3. When trying to convert a Word document I consistently get the message - Unable to open the document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file. If I hit "Retry" a few times it will eventually convert the document. If I initiate the conversion from within Word it seems to work fine. I've confirmed that permissions are not the problem. It doesn't matter if the files are on the C: drive or a network location. Most of my users use the combine so converting from within Word is not an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry but no. Big bummer. Keeping me from going to Win7 and Office 2010 on many systems. Honestly, I haven't looked to see if there are any patches avaliable since I orginally posted.

Acrobat 9 Pro Crashes When Scanning Sets of Documents

I am supporting a user at my site who is running a Windows 7 Pro machine (32 bit) with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with all latest updates applied. She is continually having an issue when converting sets of scanned documents to PDF. She is prompted that Adobe Acrobat Pro has stopped working and crashes out. It does not exhibit this behavior on individual scans or smaller batches of documents. She seems to be encountering this issue when she tries to process, for example, a batch of 15 pages or more.
Here is what is being generated in event logs:

I have tried running repair installs of the software as well as completely removing, rebooting, then reinstalling the software. I have also ran system file checker and chkdsk to make sure no other corruptions exist. I have also checked to make sure that there were no Windows Updates that may be impacting things and have verified she has the latest driver version for her Fujitsu 6230 Scanner. I am running short of ideas and, so far, not getting any good ideas from Google Searching.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, your log says: Acrobat.exe, version: 9.0.0.332
Looks like you have not updated Acrobat after install. The current version is 9.4.6. Also try updating Acrobat, Help->Check for updates

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Yes it is up to date.
I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Action when signature cleared

Is there a way to trigger an action when a signature is cleared? I am trying to hide or show other objects (buttons, text) based on the existence of a signature. If not is there a form level "refresh" that I can create a javascript that will do this?
Thank you

The Digital Signature field has a Signed tab (under Properties) where you
can specify a script that will be executed when the document is signed.

"Wizard was interrupted before install was complete" Acrobat XI Pro Windows 8.1 any recent solutions?

Seen in past posts, some years old this has been a problem. Tried everything I know: turn off anti-virus, restart, used adobe cleaner, etc. Any other solutions? Thank you.

Hey eDougS,
Just need to ensure that after using Acrobat cleaner tool, do you get the same 'wizard interrupted' error?
Also, please try creating a different user account and then install the software.
You might also visit this forum link if that could help in your case:

Hope to hear from you.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Links to Word TOC and cross references are lost

I'm testing Acrobat 9 Pro and while it successfully creates a PDF from Word 2003 with bookmarks, all my TOC and internal page reference links are lost.
I have triple checked the conversion settings from the Adobe PDF menu option in Word, and the "Convert cross-references and table of contents to links" check box is definitely selected.
I used the same Word document on another machine with Acrobat 6 Pro installed - and the TOC and cross ref links were created successfully. As far as I can see the Adobe PDF settings in Word 2003 on both machines are the same - the only difference is that one uses Acrobat 6 Pro and the other uses Acrobat 9 Pro.
The only setting in 9 Pro I turned off was the 'enable accessibility tagging' one; it's also turned off in 6 Pro. The remaining settings are the default.
A clickable TOC and internal links is essential for my clients who often have 400+ page documents.
Anybody have any suggestions? Or can anybody confirm that they do/don't get the same behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Thanks Abhigyan - your test PDF worked fine for me.
This is what I've done today:
1. Checked for all instances of pdfm*.dot files and removed any that were lurking in old Application Data and Microsoft Office folders.
2. Deleted all Acrobat 5 and 6 folders and subfolders still lurking in Program Files.
3. Used Add/Remove to delete Adobe Reader 8 and its updates. I figure I can always install Reader 9 if I need it as a separate app.
4. Checked that everything was gone using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (it was).
5. Restarted my machine.
6. Turned off my anti-virus software.
7. Did a search for any pdfm*.dot files - found one only in the current Microsoft Office folder and left it there.
8. Reinstalled Acrobat 9 Professional.
9. Opened my test Word 2003 document.
10. Checked all the Acrobat conversion settings and left them as the defaults.
11. Converted the doc to PDF and checked for internal links. Yes! The TOC links worked! But my joy was short-lived as the page link didn't work...
12. Tried various other conversion settings based on some suggestions from Lance in first level Adobe Support yesterday - still no page link. And I also lost the TOC links when I cleared the Enable Accessibility check box on the Settings tab of the conversion settings.
13. Checked the Edit > Preferences > Convert To PDF settings for Word in Acrobat 9 - add bookmarks and add links are both selected (default).
14. Used Acrobat 9 to create the PDF (File > Create > From File) hoping that this might might a difference. Nope. No TOC or page links.
15. Changed conversion settings back to default via Word 2003, and created a PDF from a longer document. Again the TOC links worked, the URLs worked (they always did), the bookmarks worked (they always did too), but the none of the internal page cross-reference links worked.
So my summary is this:
* I can only create TOC links *if* Enable Accessibility is turned on, but I have always turned this off in earlier versions of Acrobat as I don't need it and it made the process of creating a PDF from a long document incredibly slow - I'm wary of using it!
* I cannot get internal page links to work at all, no matter which method I use to create the PDF (from within Word or within Acrobat), and no matter which conversion settings I select.
I really don't know what to try next. Manually creating links for what could be hundreds of cross-references in a single document is NOT an option, especially as I have many of these long documents.
Any further suggestions?

How do I make a custom page size in Acrobat X pro?

I downloaded a gigantic trial version of Acrobat X pro to create a full PDF book cover. I was
unable to figure out how to make the program do anything at all. The help file and forums did
not give me the information I needed. Eventually I was able to use 4 other programs in
combination to create a .doc version of the cover but now I need to turn it into a PDF.
Can somebody please tell me how to, or how to find out how to, create a custom page size in
Acrobat X Pro and import a Word document into that page size.
Alternatively perhaps someone could tell me where I can download an earlier, hopefully more
usable, version of Acrobat.

As you have discovered, Acrobat is not a creation or editing tool. It is a program to create a final archive of a document from another application that is readable on most platforms. There have been several tools added to Acrobat to provide more functionality for forms and such, but it was never intended for the creation process.
Now that you have created your cover in WORD, an appropriate place to create it, you would simply print the page to the Adobe PDF printer. You should change the printer in WORD before the conversion and check the page to be sure that it is still what you wanted. This check is needed for versions prior to OFFICE 2007 that used printer metrics by default. Since OFFICE 2007, printer metrics have been turned off by default.
If the page does not come out correctly (like is 8.5X11 letter or an A-4 page), then enter the printer properties before printing and set a custom page size there to match your WORD document. I assume the WORD document has the desired size. The printer property change is like putting the correct paper in the printer before printing. Sometimes it seems to sense the application setting, and yet at other times is seems to need to be set.

I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
See the picture below

Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).
