Adobe Acrobat 6 & 8 Standard Removing Recently Used Menu

Hi all
Was wondering if anyone could help. I have the need to set the most recently used list within both adobe acrobat 6 and 8 standard to 0. due to helping with a configuration that has as much security as possible.
I had found that you can hide menu items buy using a hidemenu.js located on this site. http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/deploying-adobe-reader-81. and having the following entries in it
app.hideMenuItem("endRecentFileGroup");
app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1");
but it does seem to do what i need it too. i know that you can only set within the preference that you can only set the recently used list to 1 but i would like it set to 0
has any one got any idea or tips on doing this anything would be helpful
Many Thanks

What does it do, then?
You should create a folder-level script (place it in the Javascripts folder of Acrobat) with something like this:
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile"+i);
Change the number "5" to the number of items you have displayed. If there's only one, then this is enough:
app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1");
That would hide all the recently opened files (it might take a couple of seconds from the moment the application opens until they disappear, though).

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard on my desktop, can I use the same version on my laptop?

    Q. I have purchased Adobe Acrobat X Standard, can I use the same Serial Number and download it onto my Laptop?

    Rosstapper56 did you purchase Acrobat Standard from Adobe directly?  If so then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased software.
    As Ned has indicated there is no public links for an Acrobat Standard download.  If you purchased from a reseller or got it as part of your computer bundle then you will want to work with the reseller/computer manufacturer.

  • Unable to Open Multiple Windows  Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and recently am unable to open multiple documents at one time without an error occurring and Adobe shutting down.  I use multiple screens and want one doc open while I review or compare with another doc.  It is happening on two machines at my home both running Windows 8.1.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Ankit,
    Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
    Back to the OP.  To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
    I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe.  I used the path you suggested.  However, I'm still having the same problem.
    When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files.  However, I ignored this and followed your guidance.  Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
    To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
    What else can you advise?
    Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall?  I don't even know if this will work. 

  • Need help with reinstalling Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    hello, I recently bought a computer With Adobe Acrobat X Standard already on it and recently the hard drive failed. When reformating the computer adobe acrobat X standard was not put back on the machine. I have the product key but cant figure out how to redownload the Adobe Acrobat X Standard.

    Normally companies used to provide application disks for those applications that they had installed. On a lot of newer systems they have started putting everything on the system and usually give guidelines on how to back it all up before you go further. In any case, as long as you have the key and hopefully registered Acrobat, then Adobe should be able to help. When you do get the install file, be sure to back it up to CD.

  • Uninstall Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard and I use Windows 7. These errors started on Friday 12/13/13.
    When I convert an excel or word document using "create PDF" add-on I am now getting a error that the page contains renderable text. When I go to preferences and try to choose the Advanced settings I get an error 5 - Access is denied, unable to create the temporary folder. I am still able to create the PDF but again, the errors are new.
    These are new errors to me. I have always been able to scan documents to a PDF then OCR the text and now I cannot.
    I tried to uninstall the program and it stated Error 2203. Database C:\Windows\Installer\150159jpi. Cannot open Database file. System error-2147287035.
    I did run the Repair and the Uninstall features on the disc and it states the same Error 2203 as above.
    How can I unistall Adobe Acrobat so that I may reinstall it again?

    You can use the cleaner tool to uninstall Acrobat X Standard - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

    How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

    Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
    Check your printer's page settings.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Text Box Enter Space is Removed -- Help

    Got a new computer at work with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and it is taking some getting use to (came from Acrobat 7 Professional).
    I need some help with  the text box tool.  When I create a text box and use the enter key and click out of the text box the space is removed where I hit enter.  I googled around and if I use cntrl and then hit enter the space will stay there.  How do I get around this so I do not have to hold cntrl everytime.  Plus if I go back into that text box and add another space it removes the space from before so I would have to add the spaces in again.  I hope this is a setting I have messed up.  It is quite annoying and hopefully someone can help me out. 
    I am on Windows 7 Professional if it matters.

    I've reported this as a bug a number of times since Acrobat 9 was released and so far they have refused to fix it in Acrobat 9/10/11. I had never heard of the Ctrl+Enter workaround, so thanks for that.

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

  • How can I use Adobe Acrobat X Standard to print multiple documents on Lexis Nexis File & Serve?

    I am unable to print multiple documents on the Lexis Nexis File & Serve legal website that used their Batch Document Processor software. The technicians there told me that Adobe Acrobat X Standard has an incompatibility with their Batch Document Processor software. I never had a problem with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and the Batch Document Processor program at the Lexis Nexis File & Serve website. I am now running Windows 7 Professional SP1. Before, we were running Windows XP Professional SP3 with the IE 8.0 browser. We now are running the IE 9.0 browser.

    The answer is in the question...
    Only the Pro version of Acrobat is capable of batch processing files (which
    I assume the Lexis Nexis tool uses). Until now you had Acrobat Pro, and now
    you have Acrobat Standard, and therefore you can't use it anymore. You need
    to upgrade to Acrobat Pro.

  • Can I convert PDF to PPT using adobe acrobat x standard? If so, how?

    Can I convert PDF to PPT using adobe acrobat x standard? If so, how?

    Hi meganl52100253,
    With Acrobat X, you can save to Word and Excel format by choosing File > Save As. But saving to PowerPoint wasn't introduced until Acrobat XI.
    You're welcome to try Acrobat if you'd like. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

  • Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?  No one seems to have answered this question in the trending questions.

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat because it was recommended to password protect files.
    However, when I checked out the Tools > Protection > Encrypt>  "Encrypt with Password" is greyed out.
    Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?
    The OS version is Windows 7.
    No one seems to have answered the question in the Trending Questions.
    Thanks.

    Yes, it can.  Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
    BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.
