Adobe acrobat invalid annotation object in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Version 9.3.1)

Does Acrobat still support "9 Pro"? If yes does Acrobat wish to address the issue? if already did, where?
I tried the following resolution, but problem is back:
•         Launch Adobe Acrobat.
•         Select Edit.
•         Select Preferences.
•         Select Commenting.
•         Uncheck the following boxes:
Enable text indicators and tool tips.
Ensure that popups are visible as the document is scrolled.
•         Click OK.
•         Select "Select Object Tool" on Advanced Editing Toolbar.
•         Delete comments on the problematic pages.
Any help?

For "1" -
"Location" merely identfies where the PDF is on the end-user's computer.
What you see when you view this while a PDF is open on your computer will not be what I see.
If you come across a technique to hide/remove this for your license of Acrobat on your computer this technique won't be on my computer.
For "2" -
Select Advanced > Security > Encrypt with Password
In the Password Securtiy - Setting dialog locate "Permission" (about half way down).
Tick "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings." 
Configure as desired.
Be well...

  • Adobe "Invalid annotation object" error

    We recieve a specific error message on a few PDFs. Some from documents converted from 2007 Word and others out of Outlook 2007 through the PDF print function.  While moving the mouse over certain comments the users has placed on the document in the PDF format, Acrobat 9.9.3 throws this error. We've tried to delete the bad refs and other times have just started a new document, print to PDF while starting over.  Any ideas on why this is happining, what might be causing this and what we can do to reslove this problem.  I cannot seem to duplicate the problem a few see.  Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Brian

    On 3/24/2015 same problems, after Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. crashed while I added text boxes.. When I opened Adobe again, Yes to open the last file which didn't save correctly, then "Invalid Annotation Object" errors on my .pdf file of 96 pages
    - first, I had to acknowledge/click the OK button until all " invalid annotation objects" error pop-up windows are gone
    (for my file with 96 pages, i had to hit the OK button more than hundreds times - need patience)
    - then found out (later) that what I did turn out to be the same steps as following post by davidsdomingo in adobe.forums

    Here is a technique for identifying all the pages that have invalid annotation objects on them:
    1. Document > Extract Pages ...
    •Select the checkbox for "Extract Pages As Separate Files"
    •Set the destination to a 'dedicated' folder that won't contain any other files -- that way, you can simply delete the folder when this process is done.
    •Click OK.
    2. During the extraction, click OK in all the message boxes that appear.
    3. After the extraction, look in the destination folder to see which pages are missing. Those are the pages that have invalid annotation objects.
    From this point you can try to delete the objects, or simply delete and replace the pages, or implement a different solution. Hope this helps someone.
    - after extract the 96-pages file into individual files into a dedicated folder, only 95 got extracted and page 1 was not/can not be extracted.
    - I then combined the 95 good extracted pages into a new file name .pdf
    - then inserted a good page 1 without error (from the file that was saved previous day, prior to all the changes I made on the corrupted file), re work on page 1
    - delete the bad file.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Acrobat.exe closed by Windows & "invalid annotation object"

    While I am editing comments with Acrobat 9.3.1, I get a Windows error "acrobat.exe ..... closed by Windows"
    Then when I open the PDF document, I get "invalid annotation object" error, and the file is corrupted and not usable any more.
    Please advise me what steps I need to take to this frequent errors on my computer.  Thanks.

    I too had a Multi Page PDF that had the same "invalid annotation object".
    I was able to open & use the damaged  using Tracker Software - PDF Viewer - PDFXCview (free software - Google it)
    The file opened without error in PDFXCview and I was able to save it, but reopen in Acrobat still had the error.
    I re-opened it in PDFXCview and deleated the comments on the page that Acrobat reported the "invalid annotation object", and was able to save the file, which now opens in Acrobat without the error.

  • "Invalid Annotation Object" error

    I'm using Windows XP Pro (SP3) on a 2.66 GHz, 2 GB RAM computer, and while working in an Adobe Acrobat 9 document, I had just saved the file (CTRL+S) and the document froze and I got a Windows error box that asked if I wanted to send an error report, which I did. When I opened Adobe again, it asked if I wanted to open the last file which didn't save correctly, which I did.
    Then when I proceeded to work in the document and tried to highlight a sentence I was going to delete, I got an Adobe Acrobat popup box that said "Invalid Annotation Object. OK" but no matter how many times I clicked on "OK," the box kept popping up and wouldn't go away. I tried saving a copy of the document, but the same box was in it and wouldn't go away. I couldn't even work in the document to extract pages or anything else. Huge problem!
    Does anyone know what can I do to resolve this problem? (This happened on a Saturday when Adobe phone support is not accessible.)

  • "Invalid annotation object" on only two of six computers.

      When searching for the resolution to this error I keep seeing that the PDF is corrupt when people get the error "Invalid annotation object".  But I have a office that has eight workstations and only two are getting the error.  To further complicate issues I downloaded Adobe Reader on one of the machines and it does not get the error either.  All of the machines on the network are using Adobe Acrobat 9.
    The steps we have taken to try to resolve the issue on one of the computers:
    Ran the repair of Adobe from the help.
    Checked for updates.  None were found, it was fully updated.
    Downloaded malware scanners - RKill, Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner.  All found nothing.
    Removed Adobe Pro and tried Adobe Standard.
    After all these steps we still get the error on the machine, but if we go to the computer in the next room it will open it fine with no errors.  We can also open the same document on that computer with Adobe Reader and get no errors.
    One way to bypass the error is to use the arrow keys to navigate the document.  The error only happens when navigating by using the mouse.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Jenny,
    Look at where the problem computer is getting its time/date from (System Preferences>Date/Time), then compare that to one of the functional computers. It might not be syncing up with the Exchange server time-wise, which will cause problems.
    Good luck

  • "Invalid Annotation Object" error, can't save

    Hi,
    my dad's been working on a 50+ page .pdf document (adding annotations etc.) for several hours. When adding the most recent annotation, it showed a popup window saying "Invalid Annotation Object". No matter how many times we press "OK", the popup shows again. We can't even save the document or close it normally. I know he can always force close Reader, but that won't save the document. There's a .tmp file in AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\AutoSave, would that help me recover the document if I force closed the window? Or is there any way we could save the document?
    The OS is Windows 7. Thanks!

    Make a copy of that file to a different location before closing the application. Then force-close it and re-open, and see if it tries to recover the file. If not then you can use the .tmp file, just rename it first to .pdf ...

    As long as the PDF opens, then just try saving it to a new file name. There may be a preflight script that would help troubleshoot the issue.

  • Invalid Annotation Object - Adobe 8.1.3 Professional

    I received this error on a document. It popped up and stay there even after I clicked it several times. Once I got past two pages it would go away. We use checkmarks, would one of these be causing this issue or perhaps a page was added incorrectly? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • Invalid Annotation Object

    What does it mean and how to I get out / avoid / fix it? 
    Thanks!

    Thanks for replying but how can I prevent this from happening again?  The source came from a client.  Could it be that she got a bad installation of Acrobat (PC version)?  I don't have this problem on my Mac version. Thanks!

  • What causes the "Invalid annotation object." error when trying to remove headers, footers from a PDF

    using Acrobat X (10) Professional?
    There are no layers, attachments, signatures, or security settings on the PDF.

    Dear Siva
    Thank you for your reply. I did not know that. Although I often use an alias, as I was just figuring out how to do the query I didn't do this.
    Is this the case with many of the GeoRaster related select statements? Does anyone know the reasons why this needs to be the case?
    Kind regards

  • Where can I download acrobat XI all I can find is pro version

    Where can I download acrobat XI standard all I can find is pro version

    Hi Thanks for the reply I tried your suggestion but it says there are no orders in the last 30 days. I purchased Acrobat a couple months ago, but had to reformat my disk drive so now need to re download to re install, what can I do?
    If I go to my products all it gives me is my serial number.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 - Student - no Acrobat Pro installed

    I purchased and installed Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 - Student Version. The box and the Adobe site list Acrobat Pro included. But in reviewing the Creative Cloud, it lists Acrobat Pro as a Trial. I do have Acrobat Standard already installed. Is the Pro version included with this software Suite and if so, how do I install it? Is the Standard version preventing the install?
    Thanks

    DaveKStL which version of Windows are you using?  I would recommend removing your installation of Adobe Acrobat Standard using the Programs and Features Control Panel.  Once removed you can then can install Adobe Acrobat Professional which is included with your Creative Cloud Membership.  For additional information please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    If you continue to face difficulties installing Acrobat Professional please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Error while reading: 'ungültiges Anmerkungsobjekt' (invalid annotation(al object))

    Dear users,
    I am currently reading and taking notes (highlighting and commentary) on a pdf document.
    Since last week, whenever I open it and reach the page where I stopped reading I get an error:
    'ungültiges Anmerkungsobjekt' (=invalid annotation(al object)). When I click on ok it reappears several times.
    As soon as I scroll it starts over. Other pdf documents works properly.
    What can I do?
    Thanks a lot

    Here is a technique for identifying all the pages that have invalid annotation objects on them:
    1. Document > Extract Pages ...
    •Select the checkbox for "Extract Pages As Separate Files"
    •Set the destination to a 'dedicated' folder that won't contain any other files -- that way, you can simply delete the folder when this process is done.
    •Click OK.
    2. During the extraction, click OK in all the message boxes that appear.
    3. After the extraction, look in the destination folder to see which pages are missing. Those are the pages that have invalid annotation objects.
    From this point you can try to delete the objects, or simply delete and replace the pages, or implement a different solution. Hope this helps someone.
    - after extract the 96-pages file into individual files into a dedicated folder, only 95 got extracted and page 1 was not/can not be extracted.
    - I then combined the 95 good extracted pages into a new file name .pdf
    - then inserted a good page 1 without error (from the file that was saved previous day, prior to all the changes I made on the corrupted file), re work on page 1
    - delete the bad file.

  • Adobe Reader invalid plug_ins Folder

    Adobe tech Department or anybody that may know the answer.
    I am having more and more PC's coming up with the Adobe Reader Invalid Plug_ins when using adobe reader.
    Now I know the fix for this, rename the folder, repair adobe, blah blah yes it works.
    But my question is why, what is causing this issue?
    is this a faulty install of the adobe Reader, faulty updates being pushed, etc???
    I would like any information regarding this to permentantly resolve this issue, rather that keep patching each,
    and every day for users.
    Thank you

    Probably - something is getting into the plug_ins folder:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins
    - One thing you can try when you have a system with the problem is to create a copy of this folder.
    - Repair/Fix the problem
    - Compare the plug_ins folder of the fixed machine with the folder that you saved in the first step.
