Adobe Acrobat XI - How do I see field properties (p 154 in manual)?

I just installed Adobe Acrobat XI. How do I see the field properties? The manual (p. 154) doesn't match my program at all. The only thing I see in the properties is: Field type, label position, multiple lines of text, limit character count, reuqired and include help text. The manual lists lost of other properties that I don't see (including tabs that I don't see).

I think you might feel it's cheating because you are doing the work in more than one app (Word and Acrobat) and surely the pros use just the right app?
This is a common feeling, but actually the pros do most tasks in a mixture of apps, each app being used for its strengths.
(I've seen the same thing where people, having found that Photoshop is used for photos, assume it must be the best tool for publishing and make up whole pages or even whole books in Photoshop, rather than using the mixture of apps InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop that lets them work effectively. Sorry if the analogy doesn't mean anything to you).

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional-Fillable Form Fields Disappeared

Urgent Reply Needed --- After spending from 3 hours creating Fillable Form Fields - which I have done many times - the most recent form I just completed had all forms fields except one missing when I reopened the Adobe Acrobat document. How did this happen? How can I prevent it happening again as I have never seen this happen before?
thanks - Bonnie

Bonnie,
You'll get a much quicker answer asking this question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum is Acrobat 3D Feature specific, and as such, only has people looking for 3D related issues. You'll get a much quicker answer on the other forum.

Adobe Acrobat 8 how to delete it completely?

I have to deactviate Adobe CS3 from my old computer to reinstal into my new computer. Now I have a problem downloading Adobe Reader on my old computer as Adobe Acrobat is still there after I delete the Adobe CS3. Can someone show me how to remove Acrobat completely so I can install Reader?

Download and run the Microsoft installer cleanup utility and get rid of the old program then install the new one.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro can't see Network Drives, unlike rest of Adobe Software

I can't open pdfs in any of my three network drives because my Adobe Acrobat software does not list them as existing drives!
I need some help. I'm on Windows 8, and this problem just began last week. It had been working just fine.

Hi chthao,
How frustrating! Since you got Acrobat as part of CS6, let's start with the troubleshooting tips in this document: Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Adobe Acrobat XI How to outline font

I have outlined text in Adobe Acrobat X (i.e.: 10) for some time, and used "Watermark" and Print Production to outline text.
I have just updated to Adobe Acrobat XI (i.e.: 11), and I am not able to figure out a way of converting fonts to outlines.
Is anyone able to help?

Hi theonlineprinter
See if the steps on the below link helps you : https://bestfontforward.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/outlining-text-in-adobe-acrobat-x/
Follow the same procedure with Acrobat XI

Accidentally closed a doc Adobe Acrobat Pro HOW TO RECOVER

Working on Adobe Acrobat Pro accidentally closed a doc, HOW CAN I recover changes?? Help!!! 10 hours of work. "revert" is grayed out under File tab.

Thanks. My default is set to autosave but I realized later that the doc I was sent to edit had some feature that prevented the autosave from kicking in. Of course, who would notice that the small “revert” tab is grayed out? How can I override that in future? Save by different name?
I thought the doc might be in my recycle bin, but it was not. Would have been nice for Adobe to warn me as I was closing that the doc had tons of unsaved changes (like 10 hours worth!!!), and ask me to confirm I wanted to close. I had two docs open and the other one didn’t need to be saved—my cursor just happened to be active on the one I needed to save. Adobe, grrrr. Get out of the 1980s, when many word processing programs did not have autosave. The WP app designers understand--we need autosave. It should be automatic unless you explicitly reject it.
And then the Acrobat Pro help line is not open on weekends. I was hoping they would know where it was somewhere on my computer.

Every time I try to open a pdf file in firefox, it asks me to activate adobe acrobat. How do I stop this from happening?

I do activate acrobat, but it still comes up next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I get the drop down to let me me allow every time but again , next time I want to use see or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. This is very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than having it ask me but that didn't solve the issue either.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Adobe Acrobat Subscription - how many computers may I install on?

I plan to purchase an Acrobat Subscription. On how may machines may I install the licensed software? When I upgrade my computer, do I un-install and re-install on another machine

2 for your use. Check the license agreement typically found in the legal sub-folder of the Acrobat folder. The 2 are not for multiple users.

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 8 -How do change color of font?

At me all color of font is red when trying to select: Comments->Comment&Markup Tools->Text Box Tool. and all color of font was red.

I had the same question. I spent a lot of time until I found the way. Unfortunately, the help function of the program is not that good. In fact, it is confusing.
Anyhow follow these steps.
1. Pick the text box function.
2. Place the cursor where you want and write.
3. Go to the "View" dropdown menu.
4. Select "Toolsbars" in the dropdown menu.
5. Select the "Property Bar"
6. You will see the toolbar for changing the color and sizes of linew and font.
7. Select the text box you want to change.
8. Double click to select the text inside the text box.
9. Use the toolbar function to change the color, font and size.
The problem with the help documentation is that when they talk about "text" they are refering to the original text of the document and all the solutions that I found did not work because of this.
