Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is showing CMYK in spot color document

Hi,
I created a PDF using Adobe Illustrator CS4, and although I am only using 2 spot colors, both, Illustrator and Acrobat are showing CMYK plates in the Separations Preview and Output Preview. When I turn off the Spot plates, there is nothing in the document. Could you please help me figure out why is this happenning?
Thanks

Acrobat will always show the CMYK framework - even if there's no CMYK in there. You'll also notice that if the file contained RGB, calRGB, LAB etc - it also shows in the Output Preview as CMYK since it's in simulation mode (enough of that for now)!
You might want to use the SHOW feature in Output Preview or even use a preflight profile to double check ...
Cheers,
Jon

Every file has CMYK plates in Illustrator or Acrobat. I think you are over-thinking things.
The important issue is:
Are there any items actually on the plates??
Just because there are plates, does not mean those plates contain artwork. Both Illustrator and Acrobat Pro will always indicate CMYK plates, but if there is no CMYK data, they won't print.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X - Show Stamp Palet | Identity Setup

At the top of Identity Setup it states "Please enter the identity information that will appear on your digital identity stamps." However, even if all the fields are filled out it seems to have no effect on the stamp. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Please let me know what OS are you using and if any error messgae comes up during installation.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - Automate inserting signature & fields into document to be split

Hi,
I am a beginner with a huge task I am trying to automate. Not sure its possible but here goes. I am getting ready to "print" my 200+ teacher contracts to a PDF file from my Filemaker Pro database. This creates one big PDF file with just over 200 "pages" as each contract is a page. Is there an easy way to insert two check boxes, a signature box, date field, print and e mail button on each page before I split the document into 200 individual pages to be emailed to each teacher or is this not an efficient way to handle it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any form element can be duplicated. After you create them on the first page, right-click on them using the Select Object Tool and select Duplicate.
You should be able to make copies of them on all the pages using this method.

Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

The File
(1) The file has to be a PDF.
(2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
(& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
The application.
Consider a cold reboot.
Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners (Mac OS) after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0

- recently re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on my new Mac (OSX version 10.9.3)
- after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 an icon called Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners
- every single time I want to scan, my printer/scanner Brother automatically chooses Adobe PDF 9.0 as printer/scanner, although my printer/scanner Brother is set as standard printer/scanner
- did bring the issue under attention of Customer Service who directed me to this website

Hi Pieter,
Acrobat 9 has not been tested and is unsupported Mac Mavericks.
You might face compatibility issues with it.

Show that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed on my Windows 8 computer, but I can't find the app list

I am using windows 8 and the Adobe Cloud shows that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed and updated, but I can't find the app, and, when looking at my list of programs to "uninstall", I don't see it listed either. (I thought a possible solution might be to uninstall and install again)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.

If I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
Happens to my administrator account as well.

So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

Problem with pdf-printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.
PDF-printing has always worked great but suddenly there is some kind of problem.
After printing a excel-document from "Print to pdf" built-in function in MacOS OR Adobes Printer I have corruptet pdf-files when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but the MacOS Preview-software shows them correct.
So, there cannot be any problem with the printing, but the local preview on my computer using Reader or Acrobat. I dont even use the Myriad font in the document, I use Verdana.

You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...
