Acrobat XI Pro Mac: Changing Text Color moves Text within Paragraph

Dear Acrobat Experts!
I've been using Acrobat Pro for over a decade now (Win and Mac) - but Acrobat XI Pro Mac shows some behavior I cannot deal with:
When I'm changing text color of say a couple of words within a paragraph, usually the formatting changes and text is being moved/shifted. It looks like the text with altered color requires more space and consequently the following words are shifted which very often ruins the whole formatting. This makes Acrobat XI for me nearly unusable, I had never a behavior like this in former Acrobat versions (Win or Mac).
I cannot believe that this is "normal" - so what's the mistake I'm making? For illustration please see the two screenshots I included.
I'm looking forward to your helpful comments!
Oliver

Hi Sukrit!
Thanks for your assistance.
This is the first and only Acrobat version ever I had this problem with. I am running Acrobat Version 11.0.10 under Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display. I am working on Mac only since Acrobat Pro 7 - the versions before were Windows.
So I cannot comment on Acrobat XI Pro Win.
This is happening with all of my PDF docs - regardless of origin (textbook, scientific journal, or PDFs I generated by myself as export from office applications etc.).
The only difference is the amount of changes to the formatting (shifting of text).
To illustrate my workflow I generated a screencast and uploaded it here:
<Dropbox - Acrobat_XI_Pro_Mac_3.mp4>
Looking forward to hear from you again!

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

How do I change the color of text in Messages?

How do I change the color of text in Messages? It was easy to do before, but I can't seem to find it after the upgrade.. is it a hidden menu option? The gray text is really annoying.

Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

Flattening a stamp in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac)

I use a stamp for my signature in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac). After placing my stamp signature, resizing and placing on the signature line where I want it, I have been using "Preflight" and "Flatten Annotations and Form Fields" to flatten my stamp so it prints/exports/emails with the signature firmly placed.
However, recently, when I use that preflight setting the stamp is re-enlarged to the full size (from when I placed it) and moved to the middle of the document. The process is completely unusable.
Does anybody know what I am either doing wrong or what needs fixing?
I confirmed this in multiple documents.
Thanks.

Have you tried flattening using PDF Optimizer (under Dischard objects)?
Another tool you can use can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

How do you change the color of text messages?

Can you change the color of text messages? If so, how?

Two colors. Blue and green.
Green is for text message. Blue is for iMessage. You can't change these, though.

May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM

Reinstalling ACROBAT XI PRO MAC OS

I had purchased ACROBAT XI PRO MAC OS in December 2012 and installed it. I have just gotten a new computer and migrated everything to the new computer. There is now no option to re-enter my serial number. Instead I am launched into a trial for Acrobat XI Pro when I click on the Acrobat application. Help! (The online options for contacting Adobe lead me in a complete circle, by the way, with no option to contact Adobe or to launch the "chat" that is mentioned. Very frustrating.)

(Note: uninstall with the Adobe Acrobat Uninstaller app in the Acrobat Pro folder).

Where to download Acrobat X Pro MAC

where to download Acrobat X Pro MAC? I have the serial.

I have a note with this link for the trial version (you can activate to full use with your serial number) indicating it is only good for Windows. Since there is a link for a Mac version on the page I cannot tell if this remains as an errant link or if it has been repaired since I added the note:
To have it wwork at all, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Acrobat X Pro suddenly no Adobe PDF printer available within applications

I have been using X Pro for 2 months following installation of CS5.5 Premium. I used to be able to print-to-file using the Adobe PDF printer in the print dialog box from within apps such as Word and Finale. Suddenly that option is absent from my print dialog box in all apps.

Hi Bill,
I'm SO glad I tried your HELP suggestion first because un- and re-installing was going to be my next step and I dreaded it, and now, given the info you provide below, it appears it was a good thing I didn't do it. Thanks for the further information. I keep a log to refer to when gremlins like this pop up and this is going into it ASAP!!!

Great. We often hear of folks having uninstalled and reinstalled and problems not going away. The repair is the first line of defense if you have not been able to track down a problem. The last line is a reinstall. One of the problems with reinstalls is that folks do not clean up the system before the install. That clean up should include removal of all latent folder parts left by Acrobat and also running a registry cleaner (MS used to have one, but it is not longer available -- making CCleaner the typical cleanup). So if you have problems in the future, try to trouble shoot it and come to the forum if you need help. Sometimes, the repair is a quick fix, and lastly with no other answers do the reinstall--BUT with the cleanup along the way. Again, glad it worked for you.

Acrobat 9 Pro & Office 2007 - No Color Text without Color Printer?

I have a number of legacy word documents (.doc) that I convert to PDF from Office 2007 using Acrobat 9 Professional.
These word documents have sections of text that are red. The documents also all have an embedded JPG in the header (company logo, also colored).
In all cases the red text is converted to black when creating the PDF but the logo stays color. The only way to convert to PDF and maintain text color is to first select a color printer from the printer dialog box.
So, for each word document I need to create a PDF from, I first need to open the print dialog box, select some color printer and click "close." Only then can I produce a PDF where both the logo and the text maintiain their original colors.
This behavior is new to Acrobat 9. I never once had to change from my default (B&W laser) printer to a color printer before making a PDF.
Is there a solution? Have I missed some easy step here or is this the expected behavior now?

Sorry, I'm printing using the PDFMaker Office Add-in (toolbar).
[[You might also check the Adobe PDF printer properties to be sure you have not changed that to B&W.]]
If the printer properties were B&W then the color JPG (logo) would be B&W in the PDF, but it's not, it's color. It's only the text that is B&W. But, of course, I double-checked (to be sure) and confirmed that it is set to color.
[[ If you are using PDF Maker, you might select the Adobe PDF printer first]]
Well, that's why I'm posting the question. Why would I need to change printers in order to create the PDF when, since version 4, I never had to do this? I'd like to figure out what has happened and how to fix it.

I have tried everything! How to change the color of text based on value Acrobat 9

How can I change the color of the text to red if the value is "Unacceptable" and leave it green for all other rating values? Where can I put it for it to work? Also, Unacceptable is set to an export value of 0.
var n = +this.getField("NumericSummaryRating").value;
var a = +this.getField("Rating1.0").value;
var b = +this.getField("Rating1.1").value;
var c = +this.getField("Rating1.2").value;
var d = +this.getField("Rating1.3").value;
var e = +this.getField("Rating1.4").value;
if (n == 0) {
    event.value = "Not Rated";
} else {
if (a==0 || b==0 || c==0 || d==0 || e==0) {
    event.value = "Unacceptable";
else {
    if (n>0 && n < 3.0){
        event.value = "Unacceptable";
    else if (n >= 3.0 && n < 3.6) {
        event.value = "Successful";
    else if (n >= 3.6 && n < 4.6) {
        event.value = "Excellent";
    else if (n >= 4.6) {
        event.value = "Outstanding";

You can add this at the end of the code:
if (event.value=="Unacceptable") event.target.textColor = color.red;
else event.target.textColor = color.green;

Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

HELP!!!
I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

Hello Atul -
i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
any input you have would be much appreciated.
thank you,
bethany
