Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Multiple Monitors

Is it possible to display two documents side by side on a second monitor? (i.e. showing an exhibit to a jury that shows two documents/side by side in full screen without the toolbars showing.)

For Windows:
Ensure the local machine has the proper hardware.
Typically, two monitor use will require either two dedicated graphic cards
or a single, dedicated graphic card that supports dual monitor output.
In some cases, and integrated graphics device can support dual monitor output.
Keep in mind that the local machine's power supply can, in some cases, be something that must be considered.
Windows' Help describes establishing an Extended Desktop.
With the two monitors connected, Windows configured, the graphic card's governing software configured, and Acrobat configured two PDF files can be displayed. File 1 on monitor 1 — File 2 on monitor 2.
Configuring Acrobat:
Acrobat 8:
Edit > Preferences > select Category "Documents"
In the top pane (Open Settings) tick "Show each document in its own window (requires restart).
Acrobat 9:
Only SDI (Single Document Interface) is supported.
So, all document (PDF) windows are separate from each other.
(See: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html )
On occasion I run dual monitors off one of my boxes via the dedicated graphics card.
On this particular box I run Adobe's TCS ver.1 which has Acrobat 3D ver.8.
If I need to have different PDF files in view on the two monitors,
I drop out of MDI and into SDI (by making the selection described above for Acrobat 8).
As Acrobat 9 only operates in SDI placing File 1 and File 2 on separate monitors does not require any change to Preferences.
A Windows box, having an appropriate number of graphic cards and an adequate power supply could permit use of more than 2 monitors. Back in XP's Help, it states that up to 10 monitors may be used.
[edit - power supply needs to be adequate for the number of graphic cards - higher end cards need more 'juice']
Be well...

Adobe Acrobat Pro "Multiple Licensed"

Hi,
I've been look thought the forums but, not much lucky.
At the moment we have the Adobe CS2 installed on our 30 machines with 3 licenses on the server.
Just wondering is there a similar product for Acrobat Standard or Pro ?
I just want staff to edit/merge various PDF's into one file - If there is one can you print as well without using distiller.
Thanks for your help
Edwin

Maybe not what you are looking for but the server product Adobe
LiveCycle PDF Generator does server-side conversion to PDF. However,
it does not do merging: for that you'd want Acrobat.

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like? Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase. I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
1. After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below. Why?
2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
   This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
File
> Create
   > PDF from scanner
     > Custom scan
       > Color Mode: Black and White
       > Append to existing file
         > Browse
           > Select file
             > Scan
This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan. Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option. Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance). Please assist.
3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
   Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
3a See Error. Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White. Why?
3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product? The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product. Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online. I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options? Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities? Even after clicking "Ready to contact us? Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them. Regardless, please advise. Thanks!

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when closing a pdf

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when I close a pdf. This means that if I have multiple files open, all of them close. I get an error message from windows that the problem is due to windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I tried making Adobe an exception to windows' DEP and re-started the computer but this did not help the problem. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
Thank you so much in advanced.

Error when trying to install Adobe Acrobat Pro, recently purchased.

Recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro, when trying to install get an error message 'Your account subscription cannot be validated'. Have tried several times, double checked login etc, but same message each time.
Please help, how to fix this issue??

Hi camelon,
Please delete the "Acrobat" and "OOBE" folders found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
and delete the "Acrobat" folder found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
Then launch Acrobat. It will go through the first launch experience of asking for UI language, AdobeID, etc.
If there's no change in behavior, please attempt to go to:
https://na1mbls.licenses.adobe.com
If you can't get to this website there may be a firewall or other software blocking the connection. Acrobat must be able to reach this https URL and 3 others in order to complete and monitor the subscription/trial process.
If you can view the page at this URL, then please send the PDApp.log and amt3.log file from

How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9

How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9
It happens on multiple PCs

All menu content, include motion, is limited to 1 Gig. This is not easy to calculate. This is not a common error unless you are over.
When projects are revised, particularly numerous times, Encore may not correctly remove old elements.
Easiest method here is probably to start the project over. You can import the menus from the old project.
You can also close this project, and try clearing the media cache.

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9.0. I would like upgrade to v. 11

I'd like to upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9 to Acrobat Pro v. 11. via uninstalling v. 9.0 and installing v. 11. The reason is that I'm having problems opening PDF files on my PC.

Acrobat XI Pro does not work as well as previous versions. For example, using "Combine Files into PDF" function, Acrobat will not work if one or more of your WORD docs has a text layer (such as in a WORD template to produce a letterhead). The text layer will not print to PDF, although this function works fine in previous versions. It will convert your WORD docs to PDF, but if any WORD doc has a text layer, it will not be converted. It will show up as a blank space. I have a letterhead text layer that has my work credentials. It does not show up on the converted PDF, using the bundle (Combine Files into PDF) function. Tech Supports workaround for this is to first create a PDF from the WORD page that has a text layer by first clicking on Acrobat, at the top of the monitor page, then clicking on Create PDF. Save the PDF, which will have the printed text layer. Then go to Combine Files into PDF and include that already created PDF page in the bundle. That will work, but it's another step you have to go through to create your bundle, i.e., your work flow is interrupted by having to accomplish the workaround (documented in Adobe Case No. 0185444461). Acrobat Pro 9 extended did not need this workaround - nor did previous versions. Tech Supports comment was that Adobe changed a lot of things - in this case, not for the good.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X - plug-ins not loaded

I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro for our company with multiple user licences. Once installed I noticed a lot of features which were in previous versions are not available. When I select the “Help” “About Adobe Plug-ins...” tab, almost all of the plug-ins are not loaded. Is this right and if not, how do I fix it. After reading numerous blogs I still do not have an answer – most refer to 3rd party plug-ins but not to this problem. NB: I am not an IT expert, but can help myself fairly well on software. Using Windows 7. Uninstalled Google Chrome as someone suggested it affects the plug-ins (which also did not solve the problem!)

It's working correctly.
The Help > About Adobe Plug-ins dialog shows the status of dynamic extensions which ship with Acrobat - not third-party plugins you may have installed yourself. These core extensions are loaded on demand, so if you don't have a document open, very few of them will be loaded. It's why the dialog bothers to tell you their status in the first place.
Third-party plugins need to be reinstalled if you upgrade to Acrobat X, as the installation folder is different. Some that were written for previous versions won't work with Acrobat X, especially if they're not designed to cope with the Tools Pane or Protected View in 10.1, but they will not appear on that dialog - they appear on the next menu item down, "About Third-Party Plug-ins".
The UI in Acrobat X is radically different from previous versions, but very few features are actually missing - what are you looking for that you can't find?

Auto fill forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7

Hi All
This may have been answered already, if so I couldn't locate the answer I'm seeking and I apologize.
I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and the form I have has multiple combo boxes (drop down) on the form and I wanted to know if it's possible for me to link certain forms together so that when the information from combo box 3 is selected from the drop down menu it will automatically populate the information in combo box 12? Combo box 12 will have completely different information though.
Here is my example: We have an upwards of 30 departments and with these departments are different contact names and with these contact names there is the phone number and the email address, all in different fields on the form...currently, I have made a drop down for the department and have everyone manually fill in the other information, however, now everyone wants to be able to auto-fill the other fields such as the contact for that dept, the phone number and the email address of that contact, based solely on the selection of the dept. combo box.
Is it feasible?
If it is, I'm an your everyday run of the mill admin asst and my Javascript skills are nil, so please let me know what to put and in what box.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It is feasible, but does require some moderately advanced JavaScript, so it's not a simple matter of telling you where to place the code. There are a lot of details to consider, but a series of articles that should get you started if you decide to learn more is available here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle
Otherwise, I would suggest finding a consultant to do this for you, if there's a budget for it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro (and Safari) take minutes to quit!!!

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 (and Apple Safari 4.0.4) take several minutes to quit on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8. I thought that they had frozen after selecting to quit such applications, or logout, restart or shutdown the Mac, but if I leave the Mac for several minutes, they eventually quit.
What can it be? The Console does not indicate any special activity.

Update:
If I open Acrobat or Safari and immediately or after a while I quit them, they quit quickly as expected. No problem. But if I leave them all day open and then try to quit them, then:
- Acrobat takes several minutess to quit. Console shows nothing. After a while, Activity Monitor shows Acrobat (Not responding) taking about 5% CPU and also spindump taking about 10% CPU. Eventually spindump does not show and after some minutes, Safari shows as normal (without the not responding red label), and a few seconds later it quits normally.
- Safari takes several minutess to quit. It shows the same behavior, but this time Console shows: PopChar installed fonts changed.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended | Print Option | Enable Flash Object Issue

Hi,
We are facing some problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Print Option.
We had a requirement to embed interactive Flash graphs in the PDF file, user will interact with these graphs and whatever graph he plotted, the data for it will be saved in PDF text field, so that on the next launch we can fetch the data to the flash from PDF text fields, so that user can see what changes he did last time. This works great, we are able to successfully comminicate from PDF to flash and then from Flash to PDF.
Please note that, PDF can have multiple graphs on different pages.
The issue we are facing is when we interact with the graphs and then try to print the PDF, in that case only the currently active graph or flash file (The page on which user is currently on) will be seen enabled in the print, the graphs on the other pages, which are not currently visible are seen in disabled state hence the data on it does not get printed.
We have also used the "RMA.activated = true;" command, still no success. Please refer to the screen shots below to understand the issue in more detail..
Flash Embed Options:
In the Print Option, it looks disabled:
The required/desired output is as follows:
We want all Graphs to get printed in enabled state and with the data user had entered. Please do let me know, if there is any workaround to achive this functionality.
Thanks,

Which version. I think it is a minimum of AA9.2 that is needed for X64. Anyway, you should probably either open Acrobat and do the update (help menu) or download all of the updates from Adobe>downloads>updates and install them in order. The current version is AA9.3.4.

Is there a network version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Is there a network version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9? If not, are their volume licenses available?
What additional adobe products need to be purchased in order to run Adobe Acrobat 9 on a network?
Is there a licensing system that allows, for example, 4 licenses to be purchased that allows any user on the network to use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 so long as only a maximum of 4 users are using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 at any one time.
Thanks

Graffiti's right, there is volume licensing available for most any Adobe product, where you get a single activation key for multiple systems and are able to administer your license via an easy web-based tool, plus you also get a price break on the order...
But you don't necessarily have to call Adobe Sales for pricing, as there are now online volume stores open in Europe, the UK, and North America, with no "signature" contracts to sign.
And oddly enough just for Acrobat, Adobe's got a volume special offer on now through most of April – buy 4, get 1 free.
Also wrote recently about this exact question - http://prodesigntools.com/products/adobe-volume-licensing-program.html
Hope this helps!

Unable to open Adobe Acrobat Pro after CS4 Design Premium install

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I attempted to install it Sunday, and it completed with an indication of success. I then tried to open all my applications to make sure everything went well, and Acrobat keeps coming up with the following error: "You can't open the application Adobe Acrobat Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete." I tried to remove it with the uninstaller, and it does not see it. I have tried to install it multiple times. I even swapped out the DVD drive to see if it was having problems reading the disc, but nothing has helped. I even tried to delete it entirely. I currently have a web case open, but they state that can take up to 3 days to be answered. I tried to call technical support, but gave up after an hour on hold. I suspect a bad disc, but I really don't want to have to wait a week or more to get the issue resolved through sending endless emails back and forth with a web case. I was hoping someone would have a good answer to my problem that would not require that. I am trying to install it on a fairly plain OS 10.6.2 system. It is a 2009 Mac Pro Quad with 6GB of RAM. As stated, so far none of the other applications are giving me any issue. It has just been Acrobat Pro.
Thanks.

I ended up finding the probable solution to this problem. I downloaded the trial version of CS4 Design Premium. Seeing that I had already installed CS4, it asked what application I wanted to reinstall. I reinstalled Acrobat. When I opened it the first time, it told me that the licensing server could not be reached. I opened Photoshop, then it again. It has worked fine since then. I have updated it to 9.3.1, so it should be good from here on out.
