Acrobat X - unable to modify PDFs created in Acrobat 8

I just installed Acrobat X. I had Word documents that I had previously turned into PDFs and using Acrobat 8 I added comments, hightlights, etc.
Now with Acrobat X when I open one of those PDFs, I get the informational message at the top "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened read-only to prevent modification".
Now what? During the install of Acrobat X, Acrobat 8 was uninstalled.

You can either remove the PDF/A status from the file by preflighting it in Acrobat X Pro, or disable PDF/A View Mode under your general preferences (Edit / Preferences / Documents). The latter should only be done temporarily, as PDF/A documents are displayed differently than normal files, and the View Mode ensures they work as intended (though the side-effect is a read-only view).
To clear the PDF/A header with Preflight, open the Tools Pane, Print Production panel (if it's not visible, choose it from the corner menu) and click Preflight. Under "PDF/A Compliance" run the "Remove PDF/A information" fixup by clicking "Analyze and fix" and save the file. Nothing else about it will be changed.

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Unable to open pdf created with Acrobat Pro using Adobe Reader X

Files created with some Adobe Professional applications such as Acrobat Pro ensure the file is small by excluding font information from the file. Simple pdf creation applications embed the font in the file, which makes for transportability between apps but does make the files big.
The problem i have experienced is that Adobe Reader X is one of the simple app varieties, so is unable to open, print, or read files created using Adobe Acrobat Pro..
i'd welcome any help in (a) finding a free app that opens these 'pro pdf' files, OR (b) an option setting in Acrobat Pro which includes the font information in the file - or both!

There are so many things wrong, around a tiny grain of truth, it really isn't worth examining. Not at this stage if you are more interested in getting things working. It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.
Ok, Reader doesn't launch. Suppose you start Reader FIRST. Then use File > Open on your PDF.

Acrobat 9 March 6th unable to view pdf created in AA9

I have Adobe Acrobat v9 and have done some maintanence on the pdf.
My client on his office computer can see the pdf , On his home computer he is unable to view the pdf he tells me he has adobe reader 6
can any of you guys see the pdf ?
address is http://www.financialcounsellors.org/
select Forms on the menu bar and then the 3rd link down (Hugs Application Form)
TIA

It was no problem in AA8 to see the from. My guess is that you are using some features in AA9 or Designer (if you used the designer forms part of Acrobat) that AR6 can not recognize. You might try to save the form a AA6 compatible (use the Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer for this save).

Unable to edit PDF created by Word 2011 on Lion.

Two weeks ago I upgrade my 24-inch iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion on which I am running Adone Acrobat 9 Pro (with all the latest updates).
My challenge is that I am trying to edit a PDF file created using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac. When I print the file from Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and click on the PDF button, the only option I see to create a PDF file is "Save as PDF", so this is the only option open to me. (I seem to recall that there used to be a 'Save as Adobe PDF' optionm, that is no longer there.
When I open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I get the folloiwng message:
"Acrobat was unable tp make this
document accessible because of the
following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts.
<unsupported Type 2 font>[1]
Please not that some pages of this
document may have been changed.
Because of this failure, you are advised to
not save these changes."
Any thoughts as to how I can create a file using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and then be able to edit it in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

Steve,
Might M. Kazlow's announcement be relevant?

Unable to modify pdf

Hi i have a pdf i created a while back that i need to slightly modify... i get the error message "all or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete...". When i try to change the font using the touchUp text tool properties font dropdown i get the error "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved". Weird thing is i am pretty sure the font use to create this pdf was Arial but in the dropdown the name of the current font shows up as "TTFF5E4710T00". Anybody know how i can go about solving this problem..
thanks!

There is no good solution within Acrobat Pro itself. However, you CAN do the edit if you also have Adobe Illustrator installed.
Open your PDF document in Acrobat Pro. Instead of using TouchUp Text Tool, use the TouchUp Object Tool. Select the line of text you wish to alter, right click and choose Edit Object.
Your line of text should open up in Illustrator. Illustrator will use a substitute font, letting you edit at will. NOTE: you will NOT be able to save your change in the original font. Good news is that Illustrator has a large number of fonts to choose from and you will most likely find one that is very close to the original - good enough for quick edit purposes.
Save your change and exit Illustrator. Your change should be reflected by Adobe Acrobat Pro. Another benefit is that your changed text is now TouchUp Text editable from within Acrobat Pro.

PCs unable to open PDFs created with Mac

Hello! I do hope this is the correct place for this question.
I spent most of last night taking some InDesign documents, saving them as PDFs, uploading them to my website and letting my customers know they are on the website for the taking.
I have heard from several people today that they are unable to open the files. Only those with Macs have been able to. I have read online and in my Mac books and have been unable to determine what the problem could be.
Any ideas would be most welcome!
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Lesley!
Since I don't know how you're creating your HTML code (coding by hand or using an application) I can't offer any advice for how to correct your problem, however I can help you with troubleshooting.
Most web browsers have a "status bar" feature that will show you what's contained in a link. I used Firefox and the status bar is enable by choosing View menu --> Status Bar. In Safari you'll choose View menu --> Show Status Bar. With this enabled, hover your mouse over a link an you'll be able to see the link at the bottom of the browser window.
The link I saw in the Status Bar had two HTTP strings running together. I was able to view the PDF by removing the first HTTP string.
Hope this helps! bill

Unable to modify or create Protection Groups in DPM 2012 R2 - Error: 31220

"DPM failed to apply the required policies to this protection group since the recovery point limit for this DPM server has been exceeded. (ID: 31220)"
I am trying to add new data sources to our DPM server and continually run into the above message. I get the same error whether I attempt to create a new Protection Group and add the data sources to it... or if I attempt to modify an existing Protection Group
to add data sources to it. I can guess that the obvious answer is "You have too many data sources or to many recovery points for the server to handle..." If that's the case, I need to figure out how to tell how many I have. As best as I can figure
myself, I have less than 150 data sources and less than 2500 recovery points/snapshot/express-full. If there is a tool or a command that I can run to tell that, I'd be grateful to anyone who can point me in that direction.
I have tried to remove inactive member servers that no longer exist from our Protection Groups... no effect. I have tried to completely delete the removed server's data from replica... no effect. We began seeing this issue in 2012 SP1, so I ran
through the upgrade to 2012 R2 hoping that it would resolve the issue... no effect. I am able to remove members from our Protection Groups, but if I try to add an entirely new member or even just a single DB on an already protected member... fails with
above message. I also tried to adjust the retention and backup schedule... fails with above error.
Other than the stock answer from Microsoft that I am truly exceeding some limit, is there any other underlying issue that can cause this to be mis-reported to me? I hope that SOMEONE has an answer or guidance for me.

Hi,
Another DPM PowerShell script - this one allows you to delete older recovery points for a selected datasource without having to modify the PG.

Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

Hi,
Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your reply!
I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

Modify PDF documents to activate the "overprint preview" the document opens in Acrobat 9 / X

Hallo ,
I would like to modify PDF documents that the document automatically activate the “Overprint Preview” option if they opened by using Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Stand. or Acrobat Prof. Version 9 or X.
It is important that it makes no different what is selected at the General Preferences settings (K+STRG)--> Page Display --> “Use Overprint Preview”.
It is possible that the PDF File / Data change the settings to “always” at the General Preferences --> Page Display -->“Use Overprint Preview” settings.
Has anybody a good idea to solve this problem?
Thanks for our help.
Ralf

I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

How to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat

I need to know how to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat. I have a request from a customer to do so and after googling I have came up with nothing. Also the customer would like it if they could convert said pdf form to a microsoft word document with the text form.

There's no limit on the number of characters you can enter into a text
field, unless you set it as such.

PDF created using Java iText package - Text not editable and not displaying font properties on Acrobat

Hi,
I have an issue in editing the text and viewing the font properties of a text region on a PDF created using Java iText package.
I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and the option Tools -> Advanced Editing -> TouchUp Text Tool.
The strange behaviour is that, I have 2 PDFs created out of the same base PDF and text added via Java iText package with the same Text, Font and other properties.
One of the PDF has the text region editable on Acrobat but the other one has the text region which is not editable.
But both the PDFs are editable via Adobe Illustrator.
I have attached both the PDFs for your reference
PDF_Editable.pdf - Editable on Acrobat
PDF_Not Editable.pdf - Not Editable on Acrobat
Any help or insight to find out the difference/issue with the PDF which is not editable via Acrobat would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Madhusoodhan Henryraman

You don't have direct control of the leading of a multiline text field. A common approach is to control the background color of the field with JavaScript since the lines are not really needed when the field is used in Reader/Acrobat. They may be useful when using the form by hand. For more information, see the posts by Max in this topic: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-acrobat/how-do-i-use-multi-lined-text-fields-over-prin ted-line-area-existing-form
