  • Acrobat 9 Standard: Field fonts and size

    In several fields on a form, data that is entered is not going to the top of the field. There is a significant gap between text and top of field which is wasting space that i need for the multi-line field.
    Not sure if it matters ( I am new to Acrobat) but this initial form I did create in Excel and then converted to pdf with Acrobat.

    MadAl712,
    I finally gave up on it.  That gap between top of field and the first line of text within that field could allow for another line of text.  Lori Kassuba posted a solution that by allowing Rich Text Formatting, the user could format the text as they enter data in such a way that eliminated the gap.  I did not implement this as a solution since I could not see expecting users to go through the motion.
    She did mention Acrobat Pro, InDesign, and Designer might help with this. All I have is Acrobat Standard. I would be curious as to how well you like InDesign and how you are using it. I am considering another application (InDesign might be the one) for more design capacities for forms, presentations, and web pages.  So if you get a chance... thanks.

  • Paper Sizes in Acrobat XI Standard/ Win7

    Hi,
    Our firm recently upgraded from Acrobat 7 Pro. I researched online prior to making this switch, and identified the following differences between Standard and Pro based on the published Product Comparison chart:
    limits to batch actions and automation
    conversion from PDF to Powerpoint
    creating PDF Portfolios
    inserting interactive content (incl Flash)
    FormsCentral
    File comparison and highlighting
    Redaction tools
    Accessibility verification tools
    I specifically noted that Standard and Pro both advertised the exact same ability to "Create PDF files from virtually any desktop application that prints." I didn't need the Pro features, so we purchased Acrobat XI Standard.
    We are an architectural firm, and we plot to large PDF paper sizes. We are on 64-bit AutoCAD, and thus the PDFMaker plug-in is not compatible (Adobe has still not updated their plug-ins to be 64-bit compliant), so we have to use the PDF Printer. This should not be a problem, because that's the way we always did it before; but after installing Acrobat XI standard, the large paper sizes we need are not available. So, technical support issue, right? After several long (and friendly) chats with Adobe Support, I received conflicting information about whether this feature should be available or if it is supposed to be limited to Pro; we were finally able to hack a solution by using a paper size name that did not conflict with the system sizes that were already installed (but which the PDF printer refused to see).
    I see a lot of "MVPs" on this site stating as a fact that large paper sizes are limited to the Pro version. I asked Adobe during our support chat for documentation of this limitation of Acrobat Standard, and they could not provide such documentation. As noted above, Acrobat Standard IS able to print to large formats, if you create the paper size yourself and name it something other than the system-installed size.
    So... for the sake of anyone else who is researching this issue:
    If you have a solution to make Acobat Standard recognize all the system-installed paper sizes, I'd love to hear it
    Don't trust MVPs on this forum
    Don't trust Adobe's marketing materials
    Needless to say, this was a disappointing hacked-together solution after spending thousands on new software. I hope it saves someone else the headaches that I've gone through to make this work for us.

    Bernd,
    The paper sizes are pre-defined in the Windows 7 Print Server, but the Adobe PDF printer will not recognize them. In fact, when I try to add one, it says "Not allowed to modify system or printer defined paper size." That's why, as noted above, we had to name it something else and effectively duplicate the system sizes to get the PDF printer to recognize them. I went through this with Adobe Support already. Please don't confuse the issue with non-answers; there are plenty of threads on this forum already that have similarly unhelpful or misleading information.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard missing paper sizes.

    I recently had Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my work computer.  Previously I had CS4 with Acrobat Pro installed but had to transfer the license to a coworker.  I'm now frustrated because all of the page sizes that I typically use are gone.  All fo the Arch and Ansi sizes are missing.  In the print preferences dialog I tried to add a new page size called Arch E1 and I got an error saying "Not allowed to modify system or printer defined paper size (Arch E1).  Only user defined paper size can be modified or deleted."  Apparently acrobat knows that Arch E1 is a standard paper size but its not available in the paper size selection menu.  I can go through and make a bunch of new custom paper sizes and give them alternate names but that's a little bit frustrating to have to go through and set up my own paper sizes when Acrobat already knows they exist.  I guess my question is how do I get Acrobat 9 Standard to show the Arch and Ansi paper sizes?

    Unfortunately, this is only available when using the Pro. version of Acrobat.

  • Default paper size scanning problem, LaserJet M1120n MFP

    Hi, I just got a used LaserJet M1120n MFP. Installed the most up-to-date drivers form HP's website. Printing is fine over USB or LAN, however the WIA scanning driver defaults to paper size "Letter" and I can't scan A4 pages all the way. The bottom is always cut off and I get an unwanted strip besides the scanned document. Please, advise how to change the default paper size of the WIA driver to A4. I use Windows XP Pro. Looked everywhere but cannot find any settings that will allow me to change the default paper size. Any ideas?
    I have been thinking, could default paper size be somehow be tied to system locale? My locale is European and all other device drivers do default to A4. I wonder how the WIA scanning driver chose to default to Letter size.
    The TWAIN driver works fine (I can choose default paper size), though it is less intuitive than I expected. Too bad I can't use it over a LAN. Is there a way to calibrate the scanner for white as the background seems kind of dark?
    Your suggestions and ideas are most appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, Spencer. I have used Adobe Acrobat to scan by means of the WIA driver, but when I do so the paper size selection box is dimmed (inactive) and I can't choose any paper size (nor any is preselected). I have also used Win XP's native Scanner and Camera Wizzard; it doesn't even have a paper size setting. Then I have used it with Win 7's native Windows Fax and Scan; no paper size setting here either.
    Here is a useful thread on the same issue from Adobe's forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/844549
    Reading around the forums I came across several posts where people discussed the impossibiity to set paper size when scanning using the WIA driver. Their problem was a bit different, though. The WIA driver had locked to size 'Legal' while they needed to scan in size 'Letter'.
    The WIA interface was developed by Microsoft and here is what they have to say about the issue:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff548440%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    'Supported Scanner Paper Sizes
    Although two WIA user interface components are able to display a list of page sizes to the user, there is no easy way for a WIA driver to know which page sizes a scanner supports.
    Page Size in WIA Applications
    There are no WIA properties that allow WIA drivers to report supported page sizes or that allow applications to specify page size directly. To communicate page size settings to a driver, an application must calculate the required size in dots per inch (dpi) and adjust the origin of the scan to conform with the registration requirements of the device.
    Page Size in the Common Scanner Dialog and in the Scanner and Camera Wizard
    Both the Common Scanner Dialog and the Scanner and Camera Wizard have a static table of supported page sizes in which each page size is described by its horizontal width and vertical height, both in increments of 0.001 inch. These page sizes are currently displayed only when the scanner is in document feeder mode.
    The largest page size (by area) that a driver supports in page feed mode, as determined by the maximum bed size, is considered the default page size. Paper sizes that do not fit on the feeder or on the bed of the device are not offered to the user.'  -- exactly my case!
    Having tried the same WIA driver (developed by HP in this case) on several PC's running different WIndows OS and using non-US locale settings, I have came to the conclusion that HP may have hard coded the Letter paper size in the driver. I guess this works for North America but not in Europe where A4 is the standard size.
    I guess I have to look into ways to get to that hard coded paper size setting in order to be able to make use of the driver. I don't even know if that will be possible but I'll keep on reading. Wish me luck

  • Pdf paper size incorrect

    I receive my fax's electronically and when I get a legal size (8.5x14) fax Acrobat Reader 9 detects the paper size as letter size. Needless to say this causes my fax to be shrunk when I print. When I look at the properties of the fax it shows the paper size to be 8.64x13.6. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it to read correctly? My system is windows xp service pack 3 and I am using Adobe Reader ver. 9.0.0. I am printing to a Kyocera KM-C4035E colour printer, but have tried multiple printers (ie HP, Canon) with the same result. The issue seems to be how Reader detects the paper size of the document.
    I can go into the print setup and select legal, but this is a real pain, as I then have to switch back when I want to print a letter size document.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think this may help. I had a different problem, but similar.
    There is a setting in the OS X print dialog box (under Copies & Pages) called "Paper Handling". By default it is set to "Scale to fit paper size: Letter" This has taken me weeks to figure out. We were trying to print large format (30" x 42") PDFs and they were alway coming out 8.5 x 11. I hope this helps you out.

  • Excel to PDF wrong paper size

    Hi,
    when I convert an Excel file with A4 format (8,27 x 11,69 inches), the PDF creates Letter format (8,50 x 11,00 inches). I have changed the format in Adobe preferences to A4.
    This only happens in Excel not in Word.
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Office 2007
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I had this same problem with my Acrobat 8 and yes, it's a bug in the Acrobat software.
    After speaking on the phone to Adobe tech support, the issue came down to Acrobat ignoring user specified page/paper sizes in the PDF printer/PDFMaker/Acrobat Office plugin job options, and using the default "Adobe PDF Page Size" setting in the Adobe PDF printer preferences.
    Check your default Adobe PDF printer settings (under Printers & Faxes --> Printing Preferences) and make sure the default page size is "A4" and NOT "Letter"
    It's a bit of a hassle if you need to print/convert anything other than A4, as you'll have to change the default size each time.
    Maybe Adobe will address this "bug" in a future update.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing on paper sizes larger then A3.

    Hi all,
    I tried searching the foram for this specific problem but did not get success. I am working on sending custom 2D graphic elements to the printer/plotter using both the 'PrinterJob.getPrinterJob()' and the 'ServiceUI.printDialog()' methods. It works fine for printing/plotting if the page size is up to A3 but fails once we try printing to a bigger paper size. I also have tried using the java ServiceUI.printDialog but it provides a limited list of paper sizes rather then the standard set of paper sizes provided by different vendors. I have tested following code with the adobe pdf print driver and HPDeskJet 1050C plotter but each time it appears that my A2 size is cropped and shown as just part of my graphic element covered by A3 paper size. Kindly have a look at the code below and let me know if I am doing some thing wrong. I would be really thankful to you for your time and help in this regard.

  • Custom Paper sizes not saving

    Hi everyone
    Our IT department has just installed Acrobat X Pro on our PC and I have downloaded the instructions for printing custom paper sizes, but they don't save. I go to the printers and faxes, right click on the pdf printer, click on add under the PDF settings tab, add the name, dimensions etc ... click on modify/save ... and nada. When I go to print it isn't there. What am I doing wrong. I know it's going to be something really simple and I'm being a numpty.
    It's so much simpler on the mac. lol

    Hi Daniel. Thanks for that. It will let me gang up, but not repeat the page so I have a full page of the same thing. I read somewhere on here that I need a plug in for that. Is this correct? The thing is, I'm their graphic designer and they're making me redundant in a couple of months so I won't be here to keep on top of things for them. I use a mac which works perfectly, but they're wanting everything set up on the PC before I go because no-one other me uses macs and they want to put the system to bed. I expect they're going to have keep it going if they don't get the admin rights. To be fair, I really shouldn't care ... but I do. I'm such a sad sack. lol
    Thanks for all your help with this.

  • Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

    Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
    I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
    When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
    What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
    When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
    Thank you!!!

  • Cannot delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard

    We have several new computers we just installed and 7 new acrobat 9 standard discs with serial numbers.  Installation went fine.  We can create PDFs but when we try to edit, we cannot delete pages.  Online help shows how to delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard, but the Delete option is not available on the menus.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Standard on one computer to see if a new install would fix the problem, but it did not.  Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

    Please use the camera icon for uploading screen captures or other pictures, then we do not have to wait for the file to be approved. To try to help a bit let us get a bit more information. OS? Any plugins for Acrobat installed?  Try this on a pdf that you create. Make sure no security is set for the pdf file.

  • Removing Acrobat 9 Standard from my pc's Add/Remove screen

    My pc is on Windows XP Professional.
    I am unable to remove "Acrobat 9 Standard" application from my PC's "Add Remove Programs" screen.  The application shows up in the list and when I select the Add/Remove option I get this message.  The program is not now on my PC.
    "This action is only provided for products that are currently installed".
    I tried the Acrobat Tech support suggestion:
    To use the microsoft special products removal program.  Microsoft has since removed that program (because of technical difficulties it's use caused) and Microsoft now suggest that I use the normal Add/Remove procedure for removing a software package from my pc.  That process does not work.
    Note:  Acrobat 9 Standard was removed originally, but the program was still displayed on the Add/Remove screen.  Now I want the program to go away from my Add/Remove Screen and do not know hot to make it happen.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Standard quits unexpectedly after 7-10 seconds

    Adobe Acrobat X Standard quits unexpectedly after 7-10 seconds.  I've tried updating and uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  I can create pdf's but can't view them fpr more than 7 seconds.  Also the check for updates under the help command reads "updates have been disabled by your system policy" Please advise.  I've also noticed after opening the task manager and under processes the acrobat program uses a small amount of memory at first then increases to 60mb and ccloses even with no files open.

    I was having issue with "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" when the application was launching. But the problem was solved after I reinstall acrobat using a new admin account.
    Today the problem re-surfaced. I could launch Acrobat but it would give me "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" after 5-10 sec.
    My acrobat has been patched to v10.1.8.

    Hi Joe,
    Yes, the 'Number Pages' option from 'Document Processing' is available in Acrobat X Standard too.  This tool functions the same in both Acrobat X Standard and Professional.
