Since transfering my program to Win8, I have been unable to get my Adobe pdf documents to save. They just disappear after naming them.

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?

I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.

Hi Dave,
I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
Thanks so much for your time.
Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
Thanks, Amy

PDF file won't save

Hi guys,
I got the Adobe Acrobat X program and whenever I try to save a PDF file and replace the existing file it would tell me "the file may be read only or another user may have it open".
I've been using adobe for 2 years and it has never showed this error message.
I uninsalled and reinstalled it- Didn't work.
I checked if it's on read only mode- and it's not..
It all of a sudded popped up this year..
And... I don't know what to do anymore!!!
Would love to get some help.

Windows Explorer has Preview turned on in most cases. You can either close Windows Explorer or turn off the preview feature. Apparently windows is setting a flag with the preview that says the file is open and that is what Acrobat sees (or maybe it is something about Acrobat, don't know). In any case, the preview function usually causes this problem. You should still be able to save it to a new name, but that means an extra step.
Oh I didn't know what you meant by saying Windows Explorer at first, until I googled it and realized it's this window. Shame on me.
So yeah I started using the preview feature, it's really comfortable to use, and when I closed the feature it worked! No problems! ThanksBill@VT!
But is there any setting that I can change so I can leave the preview feature on and not having trouble with the saving thingy?

Handle the "No matches were found." when doing a search in Adobe Acrobat PDF file.

I have written an Excel spread sheet and using visual basic coding in my macro can open an as needed PDF file, search for a paragraph number as copied from the spread sheet, capture the page in the PDF file it is found on and paste the "pagefound" back into my Excel spreadsheet where desired. In some cases, however, Adobe Acrobat Professional XI reports back that "No matches were found."
Is there any way to handle the display of this message using Visual Basic Coding so that I can set my pagefound field to 1 or -1 to tell me that the paragraph number does NOT exist in the file?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the quick reply. However, I am NOT trying suppress the message. I am tying to handle the message. In other words, I want the message to appear when required BUT I want to be able to try and CAPTURE the fact so that I can specify the page as being non-existent (such as entering a -1 for the page). Is there any way in Adobe or VBA coding in Excel to recognize that the message is displaying but not stopping it, just recognizing that it is appearing and handle it? Thanks in advance.

Opening Adobe Acrobat PDF files

I can not get them to load in Safari anymore if I click something and it is an adobe acrobat file. Sometimes, I can then save them to downloads and open them, but sometimes I can't get them to save or open at all. I have Acrobat 7 and 8. I used to be able to until about a month ago.
Is there something I can do so I can open them again?
Thanks much!

Inside Library, Internet Plug-Ins folder there is a plug-in that does the job
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/AdobePDFviewer.plugin
If it's not there the simplest way is to enable it from the program preferences in internet section.
Could also be that the plug-in is broken. Move it to the trash and re enable it from the Acrobat preferences.

PDF files won't save without renaming.

The files are not open anywhere else. I am opening the file adding a page, and trying to save. I am getting a message that I have to rename the file because it is open somewhere else. Normally it just closes and overwrites the original file. I am using CS 4.

Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi star2111,
Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

What kind of problems?

Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

CS4 Photoshop - saving on NAS storage - open file won't save without renaming it.

open file won't save without renaming it. If you try to save a file that you have adjusted in CS4 Photoshop on a networked drive, it won't save it. If you rename it, sure. If you are working on the local drive it is not a problem.
By the way, we have 2 users in house. Both on Mac systems and both are using CS4 Creative Suite. One Mac is OSX 10.6.8 - the other is Mac OSX 10.8.3. The older Mac system does not have a problem.
Is this a Mac operating system problem? would upgrading to CS6 solve the issue for our Mac OSX 10.8 ?

How do I modify an Adobe Reader pdf file?

Hello,
I am trying to fill out a work application that is an Adobe Reader pdf file.
But I can not figure out how to select the fields and modify the pdf, so that I can save and print.
Please help,
Thanks!

> A university course expected an assignment to be completed on a pdf template downloadable from online site, a specific word count was given or penalties apply
Ok.
> however when edited with student content, the word count did not change.
What do you mean "edited". Edited how - just typing in form fields?
Where do you get the word count?
> Is this hypotheses correct? the student should purchase the pdf writer in order to complete fields correctly.
Not possible to say at this stage. (The "writer" product by the way is
called Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, if it turns out you
do need it..
>I cannot find references anywhere about word count in the knowledge base or FAQ.
From my point of view, this is because it isn't something Reader does.
But clearly it does something - so... what does it do?
