Acrobat X Pro - Compare Documents - Need Help

I'm running X Pro as a trial to determine if it is right to purchase for my company. The main feature I am interested in is the "compare documents". I am in the construction industry and part of my business is to provide estimates for projects. We use acrobat 9 to view and comment on these documents and specialized software for the estimating portion. Anyway, construction documents (aka blueprints) are commonly used in a pdf format. As pricing develops, it is not uncommon for blueprints to change as the design of the building progresses. Hence the allure of the compare document function. Repeated attempts at comparing documents has proved unsuccesful. I keep getting the message "unable to find matching document". I have used both the "image" setting and the "scanned document" setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a PC. I’m running windows 8 64 bit, but this problem occurred on Windows Vista as well. There are no error codes it just won’t open. You can use the program that morning to convert or combine files into a pdf. then 2 hours later you go to repeat the process and nothing. The icon for it will appear on your desktop for 5 sec. and then disappear. That’s it nothing else happens. The same results will occur no matter how you try to open the program, restart your computer, or check for updates.
The only way to make the program work is to uninstall and reinstall it. The first time this occurred the adobe rep told me to reinstall the whole suite. It took 8 hours. I have now found were I stored the suites setup files to reinstall the individual application verses the entire suite, but it is still annoying to have to re install it ever 30 days or so. When I do re-install it all the serial numbers are in place and it says I have 36,XXX days left in my trail.
I don’t know what else you would want, but this is all I can give you because that’s what happens. I’m currently taking online classes and we are all required to have this exact same suite and I know at least 2 other students who have mentioned this requiring problem. One was so tired of it the purchased a different program to do it’s job.

Acrobat X Pro Compare Documents To Sensitive

Hi,
I am testing the "Compare Documents" functionality for my company in Acrobat Pro X. I must say I am pleased with the results for the most part but it seems like the compares are picking up to much information. For instance, If I insert a table row, I don’t want to see indicators that I have added 20+ new rows to a table (see Screenshot) when I only added 1 row (see grey indicators). I'm looking for a way to modify or tailor the sensitivity of the search function.
I posted this in the general section of Acrobat and am positing in here for posible scripting ideas. I did see Joel Geraci "Document Compare found too much – JavaScript to the Rescue" ariticle but the dowload link was broken and it would have to be updated to X. http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/05/document_compare_found_to_much.html
Any scripting ideas?

Its a take it or leave it. You cannot adjust the comparison.

So im about to buy a mac pro, I just need help cause im not sure if it's worth paying more for instance, a hi-res screen compared to the stock screen, and will i really miss the .2 ghz and the upgraded video card if I get the 2.0 ghz mbp?

It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

Here's my 17"
In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

Question on Acrobat 9 Pro- Compare Docs

Does any one know why Acrobat 9 Pro - Compare Docs would not compare two PDF reports -- just close out both documents and not give an error message? Acrobat 7 Pro compares these same 2 docs with no problems.

Hypothetically speaking, of course, the EULA does not specify uniqueness of purpose but of unique structure, regardless of intent.
There are many, many Acrobat users who are unaware of this EULA limitation.
Pearhps there is someone out there who has a good grasp of this EULA section 15.12.3.
Thank you for your comment in regards to this hypothetical disucssion.

I can no longer open any PDF after my trial of Acrobat XI Pro finished...Help

I would try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro - Compare Documents

Hello everyone,
I work for a construction company and have to sets of plans showing the building site in pdf.
Say they are revision A and revision B. I want to see the differences between the two drawings.
When i use the compare documents feature in acrobat 9.0 pro i get the new plan highlighted all in orange. When i click anywhere on the highlighted area i get two thumbnail pictures pop up - one is the old plan and the other is the "difference image".
This difference image is the one i want to view but can't seem to find a way to view it other than in this thumbnail pop up which is too small to really see.
Does anyone know how to get this?
Thank you so much for any help that you can offer.
Regards
Alex

But the image is there when I click, it's just very small.
Regards,
Alex Gorton

Adding pages in Acrobat 9 Pro (secured document)

I am about to switch to a new computer. The old one had Acrobat 8 Professional and the new one has Acrobat 9 Pro.
I produce a certain kind of files where, after I have printed it to a pdf, I take a copy of the pdf. One of the files I leave as it is, the other one (with a slight namechange, I add a blank page to every other page.
This is how I did it in Acrobat 8:
Open the file
Change the security setting (temporarily remove it so I can add pages, when I close the file the security is automatically turned on again)
Click on Pages/Options/Insert page
Go to the place where I have my one blank page (with no security added)
Insert it after page 1
Ctrl-click and drag so I copy the page to every other page.
Save and close
When I try to do this in 9 the following happens:
First when I go to Pages/Options/Insert page I have to choose "from file". Irritating with extra more step, but I can live with that.
I add the empty page after page 1 and then try to ctrl-click and drag, but it doesn't work. I get an error message that I will try to translate (I am Swedish):
"Pages retrieved from a secured file looses its security settings. Do you want to continue?"
What is this? I have temporarily removed the security settings (Secure/Show security properties/Change Settings/fill in password/OK/Cancel) just as it says in the help file. If I the click on Secure, all is permitted. When I save and exit and reopen that file, the security is there again.
As it is temporarily without security this should work as in Acrobat 8!!
I now have 2 options:
1. Add the empty page after every other page manually (Insert page instead of copying the one I already inserted)
or
2. Permanently remove the security and then remember to turn it on (lots of steps) before I save the file.
The files are usually about 20 pages, so I have to do step 1 10 times.... I usually do about 15-20 of these files at one time, so this is a problem that will be very time consuming for me.
Could someone please tell me what's happening and maybe give me an idea about a way to work around it?
Lena, Sweden

The reason every other page must be blank is because the files are start-up reports for climate control units, that the technician has to fill in. We print it as a book and as every other page is blank, only the right hand pages are printed. Then the technician can have the report on a hard board and easily fill in/go to the next page. I have done this exactly the same way since Acrobat 5, and I have done it this way for so long time now that I am afraid I will forget to turn it on again one I have turned it off...
The reason why I don't make the document with blank pages from the beginning is that the report must be in 2 versions; one with the empty pages for us to print when a customer buys a unit, and one without that we have on our web-site, for the customers to download. Also, I have about 1.000 of these reports so adding a lot of blank pages in FrameMaker (where I make them) is a time-consuming job. Better to add the pages after I have produced the pdf, then I don't need double FM-files (and don't need to change in 2 documents when I have to change something).
Clerarer now?

Acrobat X Pro, continues to need re-installed every 30 days, with a 4 year subscription.

I'm really, really tired of having to re-install this program every 30 days when I purchased a 4 year subscription. The first time this happened on a weekend, I missed turning in assignments and then had to reinstall my entire CS6 (per adobe help suggestion) to get it to work. That takes 8 hours, if I'm lucky. I have found a way to do it faster, but this is the 6th time having to reinstall it and I'm tired of this glitch in the program. I have also be made aware it isn't just happening to me. I want to get this fixed. This suite wasn't cheap, and the continuous headache this problem keeps creating isn't something I can overlook any more. I need action Adobe. So please fix this problem with your Acrobat X Pro program, because your customers aren't happy with it. Some are so feed up they purchased another program to do it's job.

MacBook Pro smell and need help deciding on which MacBook Pro to buy

So I bought a 17-inch MacBook Pro from my brother in August of 2009. He bought it in March of 2008. A couple days ago I noticed that my MacBook Pro has been releasing a really bad smell almost as if burning plastic. But the smell isn't that bad. What could be wrong with my MacBook Pro? I'm getting a New 15 or 13-inch MacBook Pro in June so idk if I should just not worry about it? And I need help deciding if I should get a high end 13-inch MacBook Pro or a low end 15-inch MacBook Pro?

What could be wrong with my MacBook Pro?
Take your computer to an Apple Store. The staff will be able to check as to the cause of the smell.

Why not ask in the MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and 2009) forum area?

Conflict between Reader 10 and Acrobat 9 Pro, but Dreamweaver needs Acrobat?

I was trying to figure out why Adobe Reader 10 would not print a simple one-page PDF containing only text information distributed by the federal government. I found a message about this in Adobe's forums where the person was told they should not have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader 10 installed at the same time. Well, my understanding is that removing Acrobat Pro is dangerous, because when I installed Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, its installer said Acrobat 9 Pro had to be installed first before Dreamweaver CS5 would function. Does anyone understand this? Maybe I should remove Reader 10 instead, and just open and print PDFs with Acrobat? That's what worked with the government PDF I just mentioned.

To answer the DW side, DW does not need Acrobat to for anything as far as I know. Acrobat has installed before the rest of the suite (assuming you have the suite) because Acrobat was never a true part of the suite and is on a completely different lifecycle than the rest of the suite. Hence no CS 5.5 to include Acrobat X. And it is true what you have heard that you should not mix versions of Pro and Reader. Is there a reason you needed Acrobat X Reader on your machine? Was there actually a file out there that doesn't open in version 9?
If Acrobat is giving you trouble I would recommend uninstalling the Reader version of X and leave the pro version on. Due the time we are at out, I think it is unlikely that a point release of CS5 will be released and the integration of the suite with Acrobat X won't take place until Creative Suite 6 is released.

I was sold acrobat through volume licensing and need help installing on my new surface.

Need help with accessing volume license purchase so I can download the software to my new computer. I can't see it under my purchase history.

I think you should be able to just download & install it, then activate it with your serial number.

Acrobat DC Pro Compare 2 Versions Gives Distorted Results

When attempting to compare 2 pdf versions in Acrobat DC Pro, the highlighted results become distorted. Can only view the compare results by hovering over each word or zooming in enough to see the highlighted word. Is this a known issue in DC? We did not have any issue's until we upgraded to DC, XI worked fine.
Here's an example:
We receive the following Error in Event Viewer
Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 80
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 2015\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.76 01.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
Regrettably, I have not been able to reproduce this problem on my MacOS 10.9.5 with any of my sample PDF files.
Some additional questions:
(1) Does this happen with any and all PDF files you attempt to apply this Preflight profile to?
(2) Are you simply checking or fixing using the profile?
(3) Does Acrobat crash when using other, similar profiles? If so, which do crash and which don't?
(4) Are you using the English version of Acrobat or some other language version?
(5) Do you have any plug-ins installed?
Let me know the answers to these questions and we will try to proceed from there.

Newly installed Acrobat 11 Pro closes unexpectedly. Help? The Acrobat help line was unavailable.

I just installed Acrobat 11 Pro. I try to open the application. It begins to then gives me a message that says "Acrobat closed unexpectedly" followed by a long report to sent to Apple. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS Yosemite v10.10.1. Any insight?

Check permissions with the Disk Utility. Fix anything that needs fixing. Try loading the latest version of AAM and if that doesn't work contact Adobe: Get Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App & Adobe Application Manager
