Acrobat X Pro Output Preview

I just upgraded to Acrobat X Pro and I'm running it on Max OS X 10.5.8. When I click on the check boxes of the color separations in the "output preview" it doesn't do anything. Instead I have to hold down the mouse button for a extened period of time, let go and then it will work. I do prepress work and I use the color separations in "output preview" to make sure blacks are truly going to be black. I go through a number of pages in a day and having to hold down the mouse button, instead of just clicking the checkbox can be time consuming. I have never had this issue with Acrobat 9 or any previous versions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I found a thread similar to my issue, but the suggestion was to increase the double click speed in the preferences, this did not help.

I also have to make sure gray images are real gray not cmyk gray. Is there a preflight for that?

In the PReflight tool there is a checkup that can automaticaly control black texts, this is less time consuming than doing it manually…;-)

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
Can anyone recommend a solution?

If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.

Acrobat X Pro ouput preview issue

I have recently upgraded Acrobat from version 9 to 10. I frequently use the separations preview in the Output Preview tool to check the black separations on PDF files I receive for printing. When I try to click the black separation on and off again, I have to hold down on the mouse button for about half a second otherwise the separation checkbox doesn't toggle. It's not the end of the world but a pain when I have to check many multiple page PDF files. It didn't have this problem with the previous version 9. Has anyone else noticed this? I was wondering if it's an Acrobat bug or just an issue with my installation.

Thanks for checking that Steve. After poking around I tried changing the Double-Click speed in the Mouse preferences to as fast as it will go and it seems to make a big difference when toggling a separation on and off and back on again. So I'm happy.

Acrobat 7 Professional Output Preview Preferences

I think the new "Output Preview" tool in Acrobat 7 Professional is GREAT! Especially the ability to check "Total Ink Coverage".
But, what I would like to see is the ability to set a preference for this tool. Seems it always defaults to 280. In our shop we are perfectly able to handle 320, so it would be nice to set it up to that instead.
The tool seems a wee bit buggy when switching totals sometimes.
And could Adobe also add this "Total Ink Feature" to inDesign CS as well.

Agreed again. I work for a newsprint publisher, and it's a pain to have to reset 280 to 240 over and over again for each page or file opened. Either a way to remember last setting or reset the default would be much appreciated.

Question about Output Preview

I have a simple Illustrator file. The color values are C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100
When I run the file through Acrobat Professional's Output Preview to check the colors (I am looking to make sure there are no C, M or Y values), I get values for all four (CMYK).
What gives here?
Thanks

May I suggest the setText() method?

Acrobat X Pro crashes when I open Output Preview

I'm trialling Acrobat X Pro on Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit (why is the trial not available for Mac?) and every time I open Output Preview in a 6 colour file, with a Hexachrome Output Intent, the whole application crashes? This used to happen in v9 but I thought it had been fixed in X.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you updated to the latest point update for Acrobat - 10.1.3?

Acrobat Pro 11 - Output Preview not working

This issue came up again on my Macpro. Although it's ok on my MBP. When try to analyze a PDF in "Output Preview" a few things aren't working for me. The "Total Area Coverage" warning will not display on screen. Also when I hover the cursur over the PDF I am no longer see percentages under the ink color Preview > Separations. Does anyone know of a quick fix so I don't have to keep going back to an oldere version of Acrobat?
Thanks for your help.

I think I'd uninstall Acrobat (there should be an Uninstaller in your Acrobat folder inside the Applications folder). Then reinstall the application.

Output Preview not working in Acrobat Pro 8

Hi,
I'm trying to check a PDF document for CMYK and all that before it goes off to the printers and Acrobat Professional 8's Output Preview has stopped working for me - the separations list has vanished. Basically, when I open the Output Preview toolbar, I get options for Simulation Profile, Simulate Black Ink/Paper Color, the "Show" menu, a button for Ink Manager (which isn't working either) and then the Preview: Separations/Color Warnings box. There's absolutely no option for showing and hiding different colour channels, though it's worked completely fine in the past. Help?
And apologies if this is a stupid question.

I think I'd uninstall Acrobat (there should be an Uninstaller in your Acrobat folder inside the Applications folder). Then reinstall the application.

Output Preview Crash in Acrobat Pro 9

We have recently purchased 2 new 24" iMacs running X.5.5. We also upgraded 2 licenses of CS3 to CS3.3. We are also running Heidelberg's PrintReady P and Enfocus Pitstop (Pitstop currently in demo mode until we finish testing the system and deactivate the licenses on the systems to be replaced).
Whenever either machine clicks on Output Preview to look at separations, Acrobat 9 beachballs and crashes, regardless of menu or button.
Both machine and software are fresh installs.
Also having some issues with InDesign, but I'll post those where appropriate. ;)
Thanks!
Ed.

Jon, you were on the right track, but the wrong plugin (we are using the latest Pitstop).
Turns out it was Heidelberg's Acrobat 8 plugins for PrintReady P/Prepress Manager that were the culprits. I wish to thank Adobe phone support for their help and patience of reminding me of the days of Extension Manager. ;)
Again, you all rock.

Acrobat 9 Standard missing Output Preview in Advanced...

Hi,
I find it weird that I can't find the Output Preview option on acrobat. I go to Avanced>Print Production>Acrobat Distiller???
Don't have a clue what Acrobat Distiller is, so I try going into Tools. Nothing. Then I try bringing up the Help and even that doesn't want to come up.
Does Acrobat 9 even have an Output Preview? I need to use it for checking CMYK pantones and such. After Google searching I'm desperate

I'm having the same problem...
Acrobat v.9.4.5
I go to the 'Print Production' menu and the only thing on the menu is 'Acrobat Distiller'
Where is Output Preview and all the other options? Where have they gone?
This is driving me nuts - can anyone please help or suggest a reason why? The only other Adobe application installed in Acrobat Reader X. Machine is running XP Pro. Everything is fully updated.
Thanks.

Acrobat 11 Pro - problem with right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" output folder

I'm migrating from one machine running Windows XP Pro with Acrobat 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat 11 Pro.
On the XP machine, when I right-click on a document and select "convert to Adobe PDF" the process works just fine - it always outputs the file to the target destination I have set in the Adobe PDF printer definition.
On the Windows 7 Pro/Acrobat 11 Pro machine, the exact same settings are ignored: the PDF will always end up in the same folder as the source file.
Both the source folder and the destination folder are on one of my office's networked drives.
Under the Printing Preferences, I have the output folder address set the same on both machines, so it *should* go to the right location on the new machine.
Oddly enough, on the Acrobat 11 Pro machine, if I select Adobe PDF as the default printer and do a test print, it *does* print to the correct folder!
This has got me stumped!
Thoughts?
(update from later in the day)
If Adobe PDF is selected as the default printer, I *can* select a bunch of documents, right-click, select "print", and Word will open up, and they'll print to the correct target folder.
So, it's "just" the right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" that doesn't work correctly.

The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

Acrobat 9 + Output Preview

In Acrobat 9 I noticed something confusing. I had a pdf file which had black text on a background. I opened this up in Acrobat 9 and went to check to see if the black text was set to overprint. Going to Output Preview I turned off the Process Black separation and it showed me that the black appeared to be overprinting. I then turned off the Simulate Overprint check box and the background showed the text to be knocking out. Under the Color Warnings preview I used it to show me all the overprinting elements and it verified that the Black Text was overprinting. I assumed that Simulate Overprinting would show me what the picture would look like if the black text was not set to overprint. Instead it's deceiving me making me think that the black text is knocking out when I turn this off.
In Acrobat 8 the previews appeared correctly or what I assumed in my mind as correct. Is this feature working correctly in Acrobat 9 and if it is can you explain the thought process behind what is happening?

In Acrobat 9, you might have noticed that overprint preview has been removed from the menu items under Advanced > Print Production. The "Simulate Overprinting" checkbox was added to output preview so that we can still temporarily "turn on/off" the simulation of overprinting appearance (rather than have to change preferences), largely for troubleshooting or further examination of a document. Turning this off is like turning off overprint preview (which simulates overprinting appearance). It's not actually turning off the overprint flag itself, so color warning is still highlighting the black text.
Output Preview always enables overprint preview regardless of what your preferences are (in earlier versions, this includes your menu selection). You were unable to turn off overprint preview whenever output preview was open. In 9, the checkbox allows you to turn off that simulation.
Overprint Preview can still be controlled in display preferences.
I hope this helped. If not, please give more info about what you are expecting to see.

Acrobat 9 Pro - previous output settings in a batch process keep interfering with new one

I created a batch process for pdf/a conversion. For the output setting, I unchecked the "overwrite" box and added a suffix to the file name.
When I deleted one and recreated a different one, it is still appending that old suffix to the file name and overwriting the old file.
Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Acrobat 9 Pro), the batch processes I had created before were still there, hence the problem remains.
How do I delete these files so I can start over? Tech support didn't solve the problem and having a hard time getting through.

Hi,
User created *.sequ files are stored:
Vista –
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Sequences
XP –
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<6.0> or <7.0> or 8.0> or <9.0>\Sequences
It may be worth a search for all *.sequ files on the HDD to be sure you know where all of them are.
Sounds like old ones were not removed by uninstall & with re-install, Acrobat is picking them up.
Be well...
