Acrobat XI Pro - I see a blank screen in PDF portfolio

I am not sure what I'm supposed to see but after creating a pdf portfolio and choosing 5 files, all I see is a blank screen. I try to add files again (thinking I did somehting wong) an it says they are already there. Help if you can. I'm new to this program but not to computers. This is what I see after adding files. Thank you!

Hi Dave,
I have the same problem except when I click the button to install Flash (I have the latest anyway) Acrobat hangs.

When I open a new tab I want to see a blank screen, as I always used to do, instead of seeing a screen populated by recent websites I've visited.

I'm on Firefox 16.0.2. About a week or two ago this change spontaneously happened. When I open a fresh tab, I want to see a blank screen. That's what I'm used to. Now for some reason my new tab is populated with up to nine websites that I visited previously. I do NOT want this! How do I change it back to get a blank screen??

My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software. I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while. Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again. I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month. I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software. However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007. I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose. AA8 has stopped printing to fax. It faxes a blank page. The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”. My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago. My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
“No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
or
“The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

How to keep Reader from being installed if running Pro? Running Acrobat X Pro. Occaisionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system. NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro). How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

Running Acrobat X Pro.
Occasionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system.
NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro).
How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

I don't get a pop-up. Something triggers the Reader installer to be loaded on my system. This occurs without my knowledge. Then, the next time i go to open a PDF, instead of it opening immediately with Acrobat Pro, I get the first screen of the installation stuff for Reader (Accept/Decline Terms of use, etc.). At this point, i get out of the install, go into control panel and uninstall Reader (which is listed as a loaded program, even though i haven't finished the install). After i uninstall reader and open a PDF, it opens correctly with Acrobat Pro. This happens once or twice a month at least. Is it possible that the Adobe Acrobat Update Service task loads Reader on my system at some interval? How do i block Reader form EVER being installed or loaded?

Hi Irenedix,
If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
Regards,
Rave

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Acrobat X Pro Missing Grid with File Preview Layout for Portfolios

In Acrobat 9 Pro, there was a Portfolio layout called Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios because it allows users to rapidly view PDFs within a portfolio. This was our primary reason for using Portfolios. Unfortunately, this important feature was removed in Acrobat X Pro resulting in clunky and very slow PDF viewing.
Adobe needs to immediately reinstate Grid with File Preview into Acrobat X Pro. Until this happens, I will continue to use Acrobat 9 Pro.
I encourage everyone to use the Feature Request/Bug Report Form to submit this as a Bug. Unless everyone complains, nothing will happen.

Check out this free layout and instructions for installing. This is just what I've been looking for since we upgraded to Acrobat X. My attorneys hated reviewing thousands of PDF files that looked like flying cards. http://blog.practicalpdf.com/2012/07/grid-with-file-preview-pdf-portfolio-layout-available -now/

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF. It converts other Microsoft docs. Any suggestions?

How are you trying to convert?
Are you using the File-Print function, and selecting the Acrobat printer?

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 totally blank screen

When I power on, my macbook pro does nothing (blank screen) after the sound.
System:
-Macbook Pro Retina 13' (Mid 2014) 256GB SSD, i5, 8Gig RAM
-Yosemite (10.10)
I tried to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp assistant on Yosemite.
After installing Windows 8.1, it asked me to restart.
When I restarted it stuck on blank screen. I've heard the startup noise but nothing happened.
I tried many startup key combinations such as; Command(Alt), cmd+R,cmd+V,T, but the screen is always blank.
Although the screen light is, on the screen is totally blank.
I did resetting SMC, and also I did cmd+alt+P+R (I've heard 4 times startup sound) but the screen is always blank.
Nothing happens. I can only shut down by pressing the power button for 4 seconds.
As a result when I power on, I hear the sound but nothing happens. Nothing on the screen.
What I did before was;
0- The system is a brand new mac. I bought it 1 week ago.
1- I tried to install windows 8.1 using bootcamp. But failed. Because windows installer gave me an error that windows can not be installed on GPT partition.(I have also MacBook Air and MacMini with bootcamp Windows 8.1 working fine.)
2- Then I rebooted using Alt key then booted to MacOSX and deleted the windows part and many combinations. But failed. The error was always the same GPT error.
3- I reinstalled Yosemite tried all the steps but failed with the same error (GPT error)
4- I phoned to apple helpdesk and they tried to help installing windows but we couldn't succeed.
5- We had another same macbook pro. And we could install windows 8.1 easily.
6- I compared the two machines in windows setup. The problematic mac had first partition labelled EFI.
7- Then after a few hours. I tried to install again. And saw that the EFI label was gone!. But I don't know how this is happened.
8- I was happy and started to install windows. After installing the system gone!!.

I would return it for an exchange. At a minimum, I would take it in to an Apple store.

Macbook Pro 15r Mid-2012 blank screen on 10.10.3 startup

Hello Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro 15 inch retina. From a few days after receiving the 10.10.3 supplement update, the macbook restarted with a blank screen as if it doesnt have any power. No LCD doesnt lit up. I have tried resetting PRAM and at last ended up restoring to a earlier backup of version 10.10.2 but still the problem hasnt gone. When i press Power on button, i hear the chime, but the screen doesnt lit up. After sometime the keyboard backlit leds light up. Even the Caps Lock key works but nothing can be seen on the screen. So i finally was able to find a workaround, once the keyboard its up, if i shut down the mac's lid so that it would go to sleep and open after 1 min, the Screen directly lits up to the login screen. Sometimes, when i boot up to Windows, installed using bootcamp; the screen lits up but once it reaches the Login screen, the display is again gone. I have also tried setting up the start up disk.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Jay

Try Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). If you boot from the Recovery HD do you have the same problem after resetting the SMC? If so, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Where is the Url for free Adobe Acrobat X Pro that will allow me to create PDF/X ‑1a requires all fonts to be embedded,

Is there a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro that will allow me to create PDF/x‑1a with all requires all fonts to be embedded. I already have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

The Standard joboptions that are used by default don't embed most so-called system fonts.
Change your joboptions to High Quality Print and you will get Arial embedded plus much higher quality imagery.
BTW, PDF/X is great (I'm actually Chair of the PDF/X standards committee), but PDF/X-1a created by using the PDF/X-1a joboptions ruins output by flattening transparency, yielding stitching and other image artifacts that you can see both on screen and print if your document has any transparency (including drop shadows, reflections, and even clipped images). It also forces all content to CMYK. PDF/X-4 is a better choice.
What are you creating the PDF file from? Microsoft Office documents? Adobe layout programs such as InDesign?
Let us know and we can give you a more focused recommendation as to what to do.

Acrobat X Pro detects no form fields in the PDF created by Excel

I am using Acrobat X Pro on a Macbook running Yosemite OS X. Office 2011 and Acrobat are both fully updated.
I have created a PDF from an Excel spreadsheet. two columns. first column has text to describe what the user is supposed to enter in the second column. the cells in the second column have a border box drawn around them. I saved this Excel document as a PDF. I opened it in Acrobat X Pro and used the Tool - Create Fillable Form. It gives a message saying "No form fields detected". What am i doing wrong? Is there an issue with this process?

i have read at least 4 articles and watch 3 videos that do almost the same process i have explained. the only difference is that they used Word to create their PDF doc. they had no issues.
so i am wondering if there is something wrong with the Excel PDF process. i have tried this one 2 different MacBooks with same result.
what does the cell have to have in order for Acrobat to detect it as a form field?
I have a spreadsheet that has over 300 fields that should have been detected. so yes, i could create them manually, but i am hoping to get this Acrobat to detect them.
I tried the process you did "File=>Create Form". i got same message.
i built a separate little test process to describe the issue. see image that is attached.
it is very simple, yet no fields were detected.

Form Creation in Acrobat X Pro - unable to save as Reader Extended PDF

I am using Acrobat X Pro on the Windows 7 OS. I have created a document in Word (Office 2010), saved it as a PDF and added form fields. When I try to Save As Reader Extended PDF, the options are grayed out. How do I create a form from a Word document that allows all end users to be able to type in the fields, use a digital signature, save a copy and print the PDF with the completed fields?

In create the document in MS Word and save the file. Then I select print, and choose Adobe PDF as my printer to save it as a PDF. I then open the PDF file and select Tools, Forms, to create the form and add fields as needed. After I'm finished, I attempt to "Save As" and try to select Reader Enabled PDF, but the options are grayed out and unavailable.
