Adobe Acrobat Pro application is not giving correct scale to drawings

When using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard I have issues when trying to scale off PDF’s that I receive from Architects. When using the distance, area, or perimeter tool it will not scale correctly even after I change the scale in the tool box. I’ve tried to change the scale to different setting and the same measurements will be produced regardless of what scale I set it to.
Example: ¼” inch per 1’ foot will scale will produce the same distance as ½” inch per 1’ foot.

Hi emcfrazier7,
This might be a bug with Acrobat 8 version, however I cannot verify this.
With the latest version Acrobat 11, I do not see this problem occurring.
So you might want to purchase the latest version.
Regards,
Rave

This question will probably get responses most quickly if posted in Adobe's own forums, since it's about an Adobe product and not the iMac itself.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs

Hello,
My Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs. This happens twice a month and is becoming extremely irritating. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing and a system restore. What can I do to make this problem go away?
Thank you.

To check that it is an Acrobat problem, open Acrobat from the programs list and try to open a PDF from the file menu. I suspect this will work fine from what I read into your post. I suspect that somehow your OS is changing file associations. In that case, right click on a PDF and select Open With>Select Default Program and then select Acrobat. Be sure the check box for default program has been checked.

I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it- I always get an error message -also I did not receive any instalation code...

With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Licence is not working any more

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

Hi xilef79,

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
%LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
%APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
but this doesn't help.

Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.

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).

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Will Not Install

I have the Adobe Master Collection CS5 installed, but needed to use some Acrobat features which I understood were only available in the Pro Extended version, so am trying now to install Extended onto the PC.
The installation however keeps stopping saying I "already have a more functional product installed" ... Acrobat on this PC is the Pro version, but is not Extended ... is there a way to get it to install without removing the current version and all its settings?

Since you have CS5 master collection installed- it comes with Acrobat 9.3 and Acrobat Pro Extended,
that you are trying to install is version no. 9.0. So when you launch the installer, you get the message that you have
more recent product already installed.
For installing Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0, you'll have to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 9.3 and then install Acrobat Pro Extended.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 will not uninstall

I am helping a customer who had a hard drive problem. Using WinXP recover I was able to get him back and then we used a cloning program to move everthing to a new drive. It all came up and mostly is running fine, except for a strange Acrobat problem.
He has a fully licenensed version of Acrobat Pro 7. When we tried to install it, we got errors. So next I went to programs remove and removed the Acrobat 7 pro and even went so far as to remove most all registry entrees.
He went to open a pdf file and the 7 popped up and opened the file! So where is this thing? If I uninstalled it why is it coming up? We rebooted the computer after the uninstall and still this crazy program is opening. I checked the help file and sure enough it says Pro 7. The desktop icon is gone and the one in the start programs shows blank.
So then he also has a licensed ver of 9 pro. So we tried to install that and it said there is an older version - 7- on the computer do you wan to remove it? We said yes! Then it tried to install itself and the next message we go was that there was an older version of 9 on the computer and so it could not finish the install.
I searched everywhere including the registry and could not find anything that said ver 9!! Nothing! Nada!
So we tried installing ver 7 again but it said it was already on there and yet I cannot find it in add remove programs or anywhere else.
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Thanks for you help

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will not install.

I bought and paid for it. I was taken to the page with a download now button. It downloaded the installed. I opened it and hit all the OK and Yes buttons. It loads very slowly to about 70% and then stops and gives an Error code# of 1321 which says the installer has insufficient privileges for files that, when I check, don't even exist.

Hi there xylem,
I'm sorry that you haven't been able to run your new copy of Acrobat. It sounds like you're running into a permissions issue. Please see this document: Error 1321 or 1309 | Install | CS4, CS5, CS5.5 | Windows
Please let us know how it goes.

Problems with reading a pdf-file using Safari/Adobe Acrobat Pro

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. and Safari in Snow Leopard I open the pdf-file of http://dare.uva.nl/document/505726 and small boxes appear in the text f.i. on page 70, 74, on the last page etc.
I don't know why those small boxes appear only on my MacBook Pro with the installed software and others don't read a corrupt text. If I click in den pdf-file on the right side of the mouse and choose "open with Adobe Acrobat Pro" the pdf-file opens correctly (without small boxes)!

As you discovered, Adobe Acrobat/Pro/Reader v.9 will crash for all managed user accounts that store their home folders on the server because it has "difficulty" reading and writing to a folder across a network, which is why it crashes shortly after it launches.
HOWEVER, there is hope. All you need to do is tell Adobe to write all of its files to the local drive rather than the home folder on the sharepoint, as follows:
While logged into your network-user account:
1. Go to the "Shared" folder on the local drive. (Local HD > Users > Shared)
2. Create a new folder named "9.0_x86" if you have an Intel or "9.0_ppc" if you have a PPC (without the quotes for either case). You will have to authenticate as an Administrator.
3. Go to the Acrobat folder within the user's Application Support and delete the folder in it.
(Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 9.0_x86 or 9.0_ppc)
4. Open/launch the Terminal application found within the Utilities folder on you Mac.
(Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app)
5. In Terminal, enter the 1st command for Intel or the 2nd for PPC:
ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86
OR
ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_ppc ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_ppc
Adobe Acrobat 9 should now work properly. You may get the "quit unexpectedly" error message the first time you quit the application, but should only happen the one time.
On a side note, the print spool is slow when printing very large multi-paged PDFs.
This is a fix I found in 2009 by Dennis, can't remember where though.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with an HP Officejet G85

For some reason Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 will not recognize the Document Feeder on the HP Officejet G85 All-in-One. I put the Doc into the feeder tray, I open Acrobat Pro 9 and go to Create >> Scanner >> Color Scan. It will only use the flatbed scanner, I went through all the settings and cannot locate any where to tell it to use Doc feeder. One caveat I tried a "free to try" scanning program and it recognized the feeder and worked fine.(Please don't suggest using the "free to try" program I see no reason to buy another program, after buying Acrobat Pro 9)
I am using:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - ver 9.4.1
HP Officejet G85 All in One

Have you tried scanning using Scanner native interface once? If yes, were you able to scan using ADF from that route?
If not here's how you can do it:
1: go to Create > PDF from Scanner.
2: Click on the button [Options] next to Scanner name and set the User Interface as Show Scanner Native Interface.
Now when you click Scan button, you will see Scanner's Native Scan settings window. Hopefully, there will be a setting for selecting the source for scanning (flatbed or adf). Select ADF and scan.
Please give it a try and update.
Thanks.
