Adobe Acrobat 8 text search not working

Hi,
I am trying to search for text in a pdf produced by oracle (not that it should matter) and nothing is being found. Any ideas. I can highlight a work and it's loaded automatically when I enter Control F but the reader cant find it.
I wish I'd never downloaded Acrobat reader 8

It's version 8.1.1 on Suse Linux 9.3.
One document which has the problem is available from oracles website at
http://www.oracle.com/pls/wocprod/url/ITEM/0A94991092E93070E040149032B17CE1
The Index for documents can be found at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/index.html
It's called
"Take the Guesswork Out of Database IO Tuning White Paper"
Best of luck.
I will be downgrading to Acrobat 7 to see if it fixes the problem, (with the added benefit of getting rid of this clumsy new interface and speeding everthing back up).

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Suddenly Not Working....

    Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has been working fine on my PC for months.  Then late in the day Tuesday, November 9th, I have a problem.  When I got to open the program, I get the message "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  When I try to open the program, I see the top menu and then it stalls.  A few seconds later is when I get the message.
    I have gotten this message before usually after I've tried opening a bad file or something.  Usually Acrobat is OK after I try and open up another file or just the program itself.  This time that is not working.  I turned my PC completely off and then powered it back on and it still will not run (still getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." message).
    I did notice that there was some kind of update notification coming through on Tuesday but I didn't install it.  I just closed the notice down.  It was shortly afterwards that I found I could not open Acrobat 8.  I opened up Adobe Reader and saw that there was an update for Acrobat 8 available.  I DID the update but it is still not running.
    Nothing on the Internet seems to help.  I've checked the compatibility box, unchecked it to no avail.  Any answers to this?  If I need to provide additional information, I'll be happy to give it.
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.  I use this program a LOT.

    UPDATE:  After a LOT of runaround, a "tech" person where I work got Acrobat 8 to work without getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has encountered a problem..." message.  Alas, this was not the end of my headache.
    When Adobe Acrobat was working well (just two short days ago), when I needed to scan a document I would select CREATE PDF then FROM SCANNER and the Acrobat Scan pop-up screen would appear.  I would see my network scanner which is a Ricoh model number IS330DC and that model number is what I would see next to the Scanner: box on the Adobe Scan pop-up screen.
    After they re-installed Adobe 8, I could see this scanner listed but when I select it, after a couple of seconds I get a message that says:
    Twain Driver Ver.3
    9745:
    Error has occurred in the scanner
    After I press OK I get this message:
    Adobe could not communicate to this device
    So the tech guy goes to the Ricoh site, gets the drivers for the scanner, deletes the old ones that were on my C:\ drive and reinstalls these new ones.
    And it still didn't work.
    THEN the tech guy logs onto my PC using his account (which I think has more "rights" like an administrator than I do).  He goes through the same process as I've written above (uninstalls Adobe 8, reinstalls it.  Does the same with the Ricoh drivers for the IS330DC model).  He then goes to do a scan and voila: it works fine.  Just as it did before.
    BUT then when I log back onto my PC using my login ID, it doesn't work.  I get the same messages that I got before about the 9745: Error and such.
    Now the tech thinks that it has to do with my User ID (or my account).  He wants to create another account on my PC (and move all my C:\ data to it).  This will take a long time and I hate it when tech people do this kind of thing because I invariably lose something that I really need.  And he can't guarantee that this will work.  The last thing he'll do after this is give me a new PC.  Great -- all of this because of a seemingly minor Adobe Acrobat problem?
    If I got to another person's PC and login using my ID and password, I am able to use Adobe Acrobat and the scanner with no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea how this might be fixed without having to resort to (what I think are) my tech guy's drastic measures?

  • Adobe XI - Hightlight text tool not working

    Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working.  How can I get this to work.

    I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
    The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13.  I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight.  I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

    It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

    Hi, Adobe Acrobat Pro is not opening any more and giving the error "Licence is not working any more". I have a CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I tried all the suggestions in the Help Forum. What remains is to install CS4 again. Is there any risk doing that? Or is there any other option. Best, Felix

    Can you help me with this?

    Maybe if you read about privacy, policy and sharing of data you'd change your mind. But it was reported that it appeared to work if you used something like the "Add-ons Compatibility Reporter".
    You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.

  • E-Recruiment: Full Text Search Not Working

    Hi Guys,
    We have a problem with the integration of SAP E Recruitment and TREX Search Engine. Maybe someone can share their idees if same problems occured.
    We have of course done investigations on SAP marketplace and the sdn community. In Fact the TREX is configured and works fine for searches with drop down selections, etc> When using full text search however no responses are shown. When performing searches on the indexes in TREX itself we have results on free texts.(as example Web Dynpro application Full Text Search )
    Does anyone has a clue where to look? Of course customizing have been reviewed several times. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
    Regards
    Reginald

    I am having the same problem but now in my case the RFC_PERIODICAL_SERVICES job keep running eventually we have to kill it..
    It usually runs for less than a min but now it is running for hours..
    I have reindex a few time and turn that job off when i was reindexing but still no resolution.  Search works in trex admin tool but still not able to search threw website.
    I openned up a high priority ticket with sap.  Any suggestions would be great..

  • TREX/Content Server: Full text searches not working

    I've setup TREX and Content Server in a sandbox environment and have been trying to get my head around DMS.  I've completed what I've believed are the required steps (outlined below) and I have submitted 12 documents of various types into the respository.  I'm able to perform meta data searches but not full text searched.  Any ideas what I might have missed?
    Much thanks!!!!

    0. Defined connection to TREX Server: TREX_42 (SM59); Using TREXADMIN all services are green.
    1. "Define Document Area" - DMS is present; assumed I would use this one.
    2. "Defined Indexing Readiness" - selected "Index Release" & "Classify" for DMS; set "Search Srv" to DMS_TEST
    3. "Define Content Respository" - Created Z_CR_001 and maintained it as follows:

    4. "Define Content Categories" - Created ZCSSTRUCT; maintained as follows:
      - Document Area: DMS
      - Content Rep: Z_CR_001
    5. Checked CSADMIN for Z_CR_001 - All Green
    6. Went into SKPR07 (monitoring tab); entered DMS_PCD1 and "Indexing possible", "Auto indexing" and "DocArea activated" is all green.
    7. Went into SMRO
      - created SSR: "Search Server ID" = DMS_TEST, "Search engine" = DRFUZZY
      - Verified "RFC Destinations"; passed tests; all green.
    8. Went into SKPR07; using DMS_PCD1 as document class. 
      - executed "Clean up table entries"
      - deselected "Limited to selected language"
      - executed reindex. "Copied successfully from search engine"
      - Selected the created index category
      - Set the "Document area" indicator
      - execute "Trigger process"; 12 documents referenced
    9.  Going into TREXADMIN I can see the created index; however the document count = 0.  Also there is no queue created -- should there be?

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 Not Working

    Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 has quit working.  It won't display old PDFs and it won't create new ones correctly.
    I tried a repair.  I tried a reinstall.   It w still won't work.
    I downloaded the lastest reader and it will read the old PDFs.
    Any one have an idea what i wrong?

    I apologize to everyone.  When I sat back and thought about it, I realized i had changed the default open program for PDFs to notepad.  

  • My adobe acrobat 9 standard does not work recently for converting word documents to pdf - what up?

    why would adobe acrobat 9 standard stop working for converting word docs to pdf?

    Are you running at least version 9.2 of Acrobat? Are you able to log in with a new user account on Windows to see if it works?

  • Adobe Acrobat submit button feature not working

    Hello,
    I just  created a new time card using Adobe Acrobat. I'd like to make it so when  the user enters their hours, they click on the submit button and it  routes the form to the e-mail I've provided.
    Following the directions provided by adobe (http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/acrobat/articles/acr8at_addsubmit.ht ml), I added mailto: myE-mailAddress@...
    But  when I tested out the form by clicking submit, a dialog box appeared  asking me to save it, but then I ended up receiving NO e-mail.

    When using a mailtotype URL, be sure there is no space between "mailto:" and the email address. For example:
    "mailto:[email protected]"
    and not
    "MailTo: [email protected]"
    But that's not likely to be your problem. It is up to the user to complete the sending of the email. If the user elects to save the data or PDF locally, it is up to them to then attach the file manually. In the other case, they have to complete the sending of the email. If their default email program does not get launched with the file attached, then thir system is not properly set up.

  • Oracle text search not working for  WSDL files

    I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
    I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
    Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
    Query details
    ===========
    create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
    select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
    Thanks a lot,
    Santhi

    Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
    Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
    Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Unattended Install not working

    I created and Windows bundle to install Acrobat X via a custom msi and I removed the "qn" switch. I used the Acrobat customizer to customize the install, to include unattended install but show progress bar and prompt for reboot. If I run the file on a PC locally it works fine, but the bundle makes the user go through the dialog boxes with all the correct settings already in place. With the /qn it works. I want the users to see the progress. Yes, they're too dumb and/or lazy to use the Zenworks icon to check the progress.

    Change /qn to /qb+

  • Adobe Photoshop CC Text Tool Not Working

    So, this issue just started today.  Whenever I try to type something in, let's say, 60 pt, the text comes out too small to read.  At the highest pt number the text is probably this big at most.  Help?

    What is your document resolution in ppi?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.
