Remote Update Manager - Acrobat Pro

Hello everyone,
Please review this snippit from the Remote Update Manager (RUM) documentation.
Note: Remote Update Manager is meant only for a subsection of Adobe Desktop products. It can not be used for browser plug-ins such as Flash Player and for Adobe Reader, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe AIR application updates.
I ask the question... WHY?
Why, at the very least isn't Acrobat Pro part of the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) and RUM configuration?
I've finally gotten my Adobe udate server working and created a Scheduled Task to run the incremental update everyday. Perfect.
Now I'm implementing the override files on my client machines and creating a Scheduled Tasks to run the RemoteUpdateManager so that my users (as well as myself) do not have to worry about updating the Adobe programs... BUT... one of the programs that we use quite a bit, Acrobat Pro, is not part of this automated update scenario.
So, I'm left still updating Acrobat manually which almost, but not quite, defeats the purpose of AUSST & RUM.
Can anyone from Adobe tell me whether there are plans to add Acrobat Pro to the automated updating procedure mentioned above?
Please say yes.
I'm so close to being at the point where the Adobe updates are completely automated. Adding Acrobat Pro to the list would be like hitting a grand slam in the 9th inning to win the game.
Thanks in advance.

Markus, thank you for the information.
First, If Acrobat is not a creative product then it shouldn't be offered in the CC collection of programs.
Second, Things being the way they are - Acrobat being deployable with the CC programs - it should be updated the same way as the CC programs. It would just make it nice and tidy and dare I say efficient.
I will check out the link to the tools. Great, more software to download, install and configure.

Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

Adding alt text tags in InDesign (and Acrobat Pro)

I am having real difficulty adding alternative text tags. I created an INDD doc with rollover buttons linked to URLs firstly in InDesign CS4. I couldn't add alt text tags in CS4 so I then tried to add them in Acrobat X Pro but failed. Acrobat keeps wanting to class the PDF as a form. I then installed InDesign CS6 from the cloud and added alt text to the rollover buttons via object export options. However, these do not show when I export to PDF.
Can someone help me add alt text to my rollover buttons in my interactive PDF either in InDesign CS6 or in Acrobat Pro after I export it?

In InDesign CS6, you just need to add descriptions to buttons. This is done in the buttons and forms panel:
This is the alt text in Acrobat when you roll over the button:
Hope that helps!

Acrobat Pro 9.0 Adding Spaces

I'm converting Word 2007 documents with file extensions of .doc to a single PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0. After the conversion, there are extra spaces added throughout the document between words and even within words themselves. I'm not sure what's causing it and I can't find a fix for it. Does anyone have any ides?
Thanks!

It is likely a font issue. Are your fonts embedded (use ctrl-D>fonts to find out)?

Can I get the summary of added and deleted words in two compared documents in Acrobat Pro XI as it was in Pro 6?

I want to be able to estimate the amount of words that change from one document to another. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to compare two documents. The summary says "Differences exist between documents" and lists the amount of pages in each one. Then it goes on to the report and highlights insertions and deletions.
I would like a more informative summary. Previously, in Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 (I don't really know after that), the summary I got after comparing two documents contained how many words had been added and how many words had been deleted.
I have checked the configuration of the new Acrobat but I have not been able to find the same functionality. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature not supported anymore?
If so, is there a workaround? I have been looking into using JavaScript but I cannot access properties of words that the program highlights as having changed. Thank you very much for any insight you may have.

OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents".
Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
But - well you've described what can be observed.
Be well...

Adding an Expiry date to a document - Acrobat Pro

I want to add an expiry date to my document i.e 12 months from when it was created. I recently got Acrobat Pro X on my computer, and the not sure how to do this now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In Adobe Acrobat 8, it was possible by adding JavaScript by clicking on the menu Advanced > Document Javascript > Edit CheckDoc
Then we could open the JavaScript and put the end date, as below
Thanks!

Adobe LiveCycle can protect documents on an internal company network OR via the public Internet, it simply depends on how you set up access to the LC server (i.e. is the IP address of the server public and can it be connected to from outside the firewall).
"Expiring" documents with JavaScript is strongly discouraged if the document has value, as a user can trivially bypass the script (and as you have found out, it only ever runs under specific circumstances). If the PDF is opened in a non-Adobe application such as OS X Preview, scripting simply isn't available. Many users disable the scripting module by default, especially in enterprise settings. These are the situations for which digital rights management (DRM) was developed - if there was an easier (and cheaper) way to do it, Adobe wouldn't have bothered writing LiveCycle's DRM module as they'd never sell any licenses!
LiveCycle DRM restricts the PDF to opening only in Adobe applications (Reader and Acrobat), but the protection offered is totally reliable. Nobody has ever bypassed or cracked LCDRM hashes in the wild, and it's used to secure documents of the highest value (both commercial and proprietary). Yes, LCDRM is expensive and probably isn't viable for prosumer or short-run applications, but at an enterprise level the cost of a LiveCycle seat is often trivial compared to the losses they risk if a document falls into the wrong hands. It's a commercial decision, but anything less than DRM is merely an illusion of protection, and document authors must be aware of that.
I have exactly the same issue as you, except that the pdf documents are
distributed to customers - eg. quotations to expire after 30 days,
proposals, etc. In this case, Adobe Lifecycle doesn't work for me as it
only manages internal documents (as far as I know).

Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

Hello,
Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
I have Acrobat PRO DC .
Thank you.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

HELP!!!!
I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
Cheers!
-jon-

>. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
That's correct.
>but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
to buy to save forms.
> I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
a different one.

Acrobat Pro 9.3 crash when adding watermark

Hi All, my acrobat crash when I add watermark. I am running Window 7 and have check the compatibility box thinking this will resolve the issue.
Any solution to this issue?

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 won't create PDFs by itself or within an Office 2007 application. Please help.

Well, needless to say, everything was working fine when our department was running Acrobat 7 and Office 2003. We made the choice a few weeks ago to upgrade to Office 2007 and Acrobat 8. Both are pushed via Group Policy. One other thing to note, as I think it might be an issue, is that our users have their My Documents redirected to a server. I only mention this, because the Default PDF Output Folder within Acrobat 8 is My Documents.
Here are the strange things that we've noticed so far:
1) When you open up the Adobe PDF Properties within Printers and Faxes, the Location displays an "x" followed by two non-standard box characters that I can't seem to write out here. I've uploaded a screen shot if that makes it easier. On a manually installed copy of Acrobat 8, this location box will say My Documents.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_weird_characters.png
2) The Adobe PDF printer port grabs LPT1, even if there is another printer already on that port. This behavior is seen when being pushed via GPO. When it's manually installed via the disc, Adobe PDF gets it's own special port "My Documents\*.pdf" with a description of "Adobe PDF Port". When I try to see if I can add such a port on the GPO pushed computers, it doesn't list it as an option. Here again are two screen shots to show what I'm talking about.
Weird Port:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_weird_port.png
Adobe Port:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_correct_port.png
Ok, so those are just the oddities seen after performing a GPO installation.
3) When I right click on a Word 2007 (*.docx) file and choose "Convert to Adobe PDF", it asks me where I want to save the newly created PDF at. It will start converting it, but a few seconds later a balloon error pops up saying that the document failed to print.
4) When I try to create a PDF via the Word 2007 ribbon add-on for Acrobat, I get the same error.
I decided to bump a standard user up to administrator of the local machine. All these errors go away and they can create PDFs to their heart's content. As soon as I bump them back down to a standard user, new errors arise.
5) Now when they try to create a PDF, they get prompted TWICE for the PDF Save As location. When I click on Convert to PDF via the context menu of the Word 2007 file, I get the Adobe PDF Status box, then a few seconds later, I get the Save Adobe PDF File As box. I tell it where to save the PDF to. I then get a second box asking me where to save the PDF to, but it's titled different. This new box is "Save PDF File As". Whatever location I choose there, I get an Access Denied error and an Adobe Printer error that the document has failed to print. I've created screen shots of those as well. Here they are in order:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_01.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_02.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_03.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_04.png
Does anyone have any solutions whatsoever to fix this? I'm not about to go around to 100 computers and install Acrobat manually when it should work correctly via GPO. If Acrobat doesn't like the fact that a user My Documents is redirected to the server, I noticed that I can change the default PDF file location within the Adobe Customization Wizard. I've not tested that yet to see if it would even help.
I should mention that I have tried running a repair. Didn't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling via GPO. Didn't help. So, we've installed the Microsoft Office PDF Creator plug-in and that works perfectly. For the time being Acrobat Pro has basically dropped itself down to a reader for all intents and purposes.

@ Bill@VT: I did try adding a port. That's the problem. When it's on a problematic installation, those special Adobe Port aren't available for me to choose from.
OK, I have some new information regarding my issue. I've done some more testing and this is what I have learned and how I arrived at that conclusion.
b It appears to be an issue with the 8.1.2 update.
1) I manually installed Acrobat 8.0.0 via the executable file I downloaded from Adobe Licensing. I had to go through all the installation prompts, enter the serial key, accept the EULA, etc. I even applied the 8.1.0 update. At this point, everything was fine. Any user on this computer could create PDFs via any method. The Adobe PDF Port was correct and no listed under LPT1 like in the above screen shots. And My Documents was listed as the Default PDF Location, even though users have their My Docs redirected to the server. Like I said, everything worked perfectly.
2) I decided to install via the Administrative Install Point (AIP) on the server for Acrobat 8.1.2 and the corresponding transform file. After doing this, the problems came back. My first assumption is that the transform file is causing the problem.
3) To verify that it was in fact the transform file I perform an install from the AIP using the AcroPro.msi file only. No switches and no transform file. Guess what? Problems are still there. So, that wipes out the transform file problem.
A couple of notes:
It could be related to the AIP and doing administrative installation upgrades to 8.1.2. My next test is to install 8.0.0 from scratch and manually upgrade that installation to 8.1.0, then 8.1.1, then 8.1.2 to find out when and if it breaks.
I was able to get a contact number for Adobe's "Volume Licensing" department, so I might end up giving them a call. In fact, even if I narrow down what appears to be the problem, I'm still going to have to give them a call to find out what can be done about it. Because at the moment, the issue is there for 100+ users and something needs to be fixed. All I'm doing at this point is working backwards to figure out what may have caused the problem in the first place.

How to access a missing font in Acrobat PRo XI

I am editing a PDF using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. The text font in the PDF is Zurich BT. However, that font displayed below the Format DDLB, but greyed out so it cannot be clicked upon. Instead, Adobe has replaced Zurich BT with Minion Pro. How can I get the Zurich BT fond made available for my use? Do I have to download and add this font?
You can see from this image clipping that when I change the address to the new location this text appears in Minion Pro, not Zurich BT.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 and Acrobat Reader 9.0 crashing when trying to print

The subject line says it all, but I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard 10.5.5 and now when I select File | Print I get the spinning beach ball than Acrobat crashes. Now oddly, if I use Acrobat Reader 7.0.9, it prints perfectly. But have Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 crash every time the File | Print is selected is a major problem. And no, not even the dialog box comes up first, Acrobat just goes down.
Has anyone else seen this? I saw in the forum others were have problems creating PDF's, something I haven't done yet.

Try the following: (I have no idea if it will help but might be worth a shot.
Its possible That you need to update the driver shown in Printer Utility.
Locate Adobe PDF 8.0 (what evr the latest version is.
Now delete from Printer Utilities List, and quit Printer Utility.
Now open Acrobat 8.1.2 and go to help menu.
Now choose reapir or Replace.
uncheck PDFViewer and check Adobe PDF
Now click okay to repair.
If you have acrobat 9. all previous acrobat versions will work with the Adobe PDF 9.0 Driver just fine. It just will not try to use new features added since 9.0.
Also, It possible that your Print Driver for your printer has been updated with the new Sysytem Upgrade.
If so remove the printer listed from the Printer Utility List.
the click on add printer. look for the driver for your printer listed choose make default then quit.
Try Acrobat 8 again and then go to set up menu see if you can find your printer listed. is so choose and save as default.

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)
