Adobe Acrobat X: Attachments and Extended Reader Functions...

All,
after adding attachments (e.g. PDF documents) to a PDF document and saving the document with "Extended Reader Functions" an error is shown in the Java debugger window:
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
10:Document-Level:ADBE::FileAttachmentsCompatibility
Adobe creates a document-level javascript function called "FileAttachmentsCompatibility" within ADBE.
Looking into the source code, the error can be easily seen
app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des...
(a part of the German version is shown)
As one can see, the highlighting "Speichern" (saving) is inside of double quotation marks.
This can only be solved by - again - saving the newly created document as a copy. Opening this document, one can edit the faulty script
Find below the corrected version:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
  n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
  if (this.external)
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des Dokuments zu speichern. Öffnen Sie die Kopie in Adobe Acrobat, und wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
  else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)
  if (n == 0)
   var np = this.numPages;
   syncAnnotScan();
   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
  if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat  Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie oben in der vertikalen Bildlaufleiste des Dokumentfensters auf das schwarze Dreieck und wählen "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);
   else
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Dokument" > "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);

The script was automatically created by the Adobe Acrobat software...
I know the issue, but is there any bug-fix available? I don't want to correct it for every document!
Correction: Above you find the automatically created document.
A corrected possibility is shown below:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
  n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
  if (this.external)
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf 'Speichern', um eine Kopie des Dokuments zu speichern. Öffnen Sie die Kopie in Adobe Acrobat, und wählen Sie 'Datei' > 'Dokumenteigenschaften' > 'Eingebettete Datenobjekte'.", 3, 0);
  else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie 'Datei' > 'Dokumenteigenschaften' > 'Eingebettete Datenobjekte'.", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)
  if (n == 0)
   var np = this.numPages;
   syncAnnotScan();
   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
  if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat  Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie oben in der vertikalen Bildlaufleiste des Dokumentfensters auf das schwarze Dreieck und wählen 'Dateianlagen'.", 3, 0);
   else
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie 'Dokument' > 'Dateianlagen'.", 3, 0);

  • How do I upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and other tools with the Pro onto my new computer?

         Since I am already a customer of Adobe, I need to know how to upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools that go with both programs onto my new Windows 7 HP computer without having to fill out a new customer form or without having to pay for another Adobe membership as a new member?  I need to know what to do step-by-step so that I can upload my Adobe reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools for the Reader and the Acrobat XI Pro.
         You may send the step-by-step instructions to my e-mail address of [email address removed by host].
         Thank you!

    I have been trying to start my subscription again for my Acrobat XI Pro and for the annual subscription of the PDF Export for Word and Excel.  The PDF Export expired according to my subscription list, but, I think that I had cancelled my Acrobat XI Pro of $ 29.99 monthly, so, I am wanting to presubscribe for it again, but, when I try to put my Code in for my Debit Card, it will not register with your company.
    So, I do not know what to do to get it back again with my monthly and annually subscription payments for PDF Export and for Acrobat XI Pro.  I have already downloaded the Adobe Reader XI onto my computer so I am set for that product.  I just do not know what to do about the PDF Export and the Acrobat XI Pro to be able to get them started once again.

  • Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 Problem

    How do I get Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 compatible so I can access my attachments to e-mails sent to me?

    I was successful in installing AA5 in Win7 Starter as a test. It works except that I changed the printer port to file (AcroTray or the Distiller Assistant of AA5 does not work in Win7). You can open the files that are created in Distiller to create PDFs. You may be able to use watched folders to automate the process to some degree.
    I suspect that your question is more of having problems reading PDF files in AA5. That is a different issue. It is not a Win7 compatibility issue, but one of needing a newer PDF viewer. I have AA5 on one XP machine that I use Reader X on for seeing the newer files. I do have to deal with some conflicts between AA5 and ARX, but I can deal with that (many folks lose there minds on that).
    There is one other option that might be a major problem. Many folks are getting Win7 on 64-bit machines. In that case, you will have to be sure AA5 runs in 32-bit compatibility.
    At least that should give you some ideas of what might work. If a 64-bit machine, you may definitely have a problem -- I never tested that combination.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

  • ...trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI. The msg reads " Installer mis-configured."

    ...trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI. The message reads " Installer mis-configured." Clearly, I can't proceed. Is a new version of the installer available? I'm not having a lot of luck with downloads from the Adobe site these days. I'm not too confident about purchasing online given two bad experienes with files that are missing (dll) and now this installer problem.

    Thank you for replying, Jeff. I'm running Windows 7 -- 64 bit. Also, once the.exe file downloaded, I clicked "Run."

  • Printing out of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and CS4 Illustrator

    Hi,  I'm working on a MacBook Pro,  version 10.6.7 Mac OS X, I just hooked  up the HP Photosmart Premiere  C310 Series printer.  It's hooked up via  USB, and will print from all  applications except Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Illustrator - CS4.
    For Acrobat:   When I try to print a PDF, I get the message "The document could not  be  printed." followed by "There were no pages selected to print."
    For Illustrator:   In the Print window, under Printer, I can either select Adobe   Postscript File and save, or, select my printer where the preview is  unavailable, it grays out all  options and I can't select anything. OR,  if I select my printer where the preview is unavailable, I get the error  message "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings  are inconsistent."
    These  are the only two applications  I'm having trouble with, and since the  printer is sold at Apple.com,  I'm hoping someone else has come across  these issues.  Please help!
    Thanks.

    You may want to ask in the Acrobat or Illustrator forums. This one is for the free Reader application.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows Vista

    The last version of Adobe I used to use is version 5. Of
    course that is outdated, and it would appear that the files I
    created with that version are not compatible with the Adobe Reader
    9. So I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and
    tried to install it. The computer I am trying to install it on is
    new and the OS running is Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit I
    believe). When it says it is installing, after it reaches
    99.blah-blah % it keeps asking me about a scanner being connected.
    What the heck is that all about? It's weird. I connect my scanner
    and it scans and I print a document to a Microsoft OneNote file,
    after which when I close the scanner window the program is not
    installed at all. I check my program list from my start menu to see
    if it is there; and nothing. This thing is, why the heck doesn't it
    just install the full trial program like any other normal
    installation? I just want to be able to send word, excel, etc.
    documents using the acrobat distiller like I used to and create pdf
    documents. This is very frustrating. If this is some kind of
    strange compatibility issue with Vista, than I am really starting
    to regret buying a system with Vista on it more and more. Can
    anyone tell me what is going on here. What I may be doing wrong?
    Anything. Please help. Thank you.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 pro and windows 7

    I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro and installed it on my Dell windows 7 desktop.  When I go to print to Adobe the pictures come up in the print screen with a green hue or tint to them. To view the pictures in the folder they are fine. To actually print the pics to the printer they print fine, but attempting to convert the pictures to a pdf file, they show and convert with this green hue or tint. Any ideas as to why?  I had this program installed on my XP windows prior to this with no problems.  Very frustrated.   Any thoughts.

    You are allowed to use one license on two machines. Deactivate the XP version of Acrobat. Wipe the machine and install Windows 7, then re-install.

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

    There are many different Acrobat-related products.
    Acrobat Standard
    Acrobat Pro
    Adobe Reader
    LiveCycle (actually this is another separate enterprise oriented Acrobat family of products.
    Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro will each install several software programs on your computer. One of which is Acrobat Distiller. Acrobat Distiller is a program that is used to convert postscript files into pdf files. Acrobat Distiller used to be the only way to create postscript files. Now many users never use Distiller to create pdf files, hence its prominence is deminished.

  • Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

    Dear Adobe Support Team,
    I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
    it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
    installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
    So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikraman.G

    Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
    If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
    Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.
