Annoying things in Acrobat 8 and 9

Dear Acrobat Programmers,
I don't know where i have to send it, so i post it here.
I thought that i candle handle with all annoying things in Acrobat 8 (9 as well, all newest upgrades), but - no more. I have sometimes a lot of work and i'm going crazy with all the problems.
1. I'm working always with two monitors (maybe this it the isssue?? no idea).
2. It is not happening only on my computer. Tested on 5 or more computers.
When i open more than one document (two and more instances of Acrobat) TouchUp Tool doesn't work any more. Why? The same in Acrobat 8,9.
I can not even change the properties of objects.
When i do some mark up on one page, and copied that and paste to another page it is going to paste exactly in the middle of the page. Why not in the same point as it was on page, from i copied this markup? And when i need to move it (text boxes, rectangles, and so on) it is really slow operation - like it would needed best computer on the world. It is only moving of couple vector objects. Is it so complicated for Acrobat to do it fast? Even Windows can move whole applications with movies inside without issues.
With two or more opened documents - moving the pages between documents doesn't work always as it should. Sometimes moved page is going somewhere else, not in this position where i wanted to.
Updates:
Why the hell Acrobat needs to restart my computer all the time after updates?
What is it?? Proccess with so high priority as rundll32???? A part of windows system?? As far as i know it is not.
Guys, i'm begin you. Change the way of updating Acrobat somehow.
Once i had a document - all pages with background (simple Text - New Revision, Old Revision). I tried to open this document in Acrobat 9 Trial.
Guess what - my backgrounds went to hell - left only cutted words New and Old - word Revision somehow dissapeared.
Comments and Markups - sometimes it simply doesn't work - i have to close all Acrobats and start it again.... and again.... i hate it.
When i paste the pictures, excel documents - why it is always so big after? To make it smaller in Acrobat it is a challenge. Really.
Anyone from other users has the same??
Best regards
Proxonic

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.

Bugs / Annoying things in OS X Mavericks

I am running a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 model
I recently updated with the OS X Mavericks ,
everything about the software upgrade is really marvellous and i am loving them ,
it just enhanced the pace of my working style in OS X
still i find few bugs / annoying things in this OS X
Clearing up even fewer items in the trash takes a very long time, Which was not the same in mountain lion.
Energy Conservation not very effective
Memory compression isn’t working as demonstrated in the keynote
in iPhoto the pictures aren’t auto-splitted into “Events" in “Events”tab.
the shutting down and booting up takes ages !! no improvements from the mountain lion in that perspective
gmail , hotmail sync with the mail app isn't great , need more enhancements
new mails take long time to download
imessage fail miserably, i have to use my iPhone to iMessage people
It will be great if the Big A notices these bugs and resolve them in the next upgrade, or if anyone could get me an alternate solutions to these bugs

Open PDF 1.4 in Acrobat 9 and save as 1.4

I am trying to resolve an issue where when I open a PDF in Acrobat 9 and then close the file after changes it will take a PDF 1.4 and make it a PDF 1.5. Is there any way to have Acrobat save the PDF files as the same version as was opened, by default? I need files which I have adjusted in Acrobat 9 to remain as PDF 1.4.

I've worked with PitStop, but never found this preference. I would appreciate a lot if you could trace the route to get it.
Other way to get it done —yes, it's annoying — is using the Pdf, Optimized/Settings… window, saving your preferences as a Settings preset clicking the save button and giving it a name —usually, you will prefer to keep everything as "Retain existing".
I found this issue not only as a save as matter, even if you perform a change in the existing number of the pages in the document or replacing some of it.
If you delete a page and just save the document, hit cmd+d (mac) and focus on Description tab to realize that the version has been updated to 1.6 too.
Hope this could help.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 - Can't open PDF on web

Hi,
On my work machine, I have Acrobat 6 installed so I can create PDFs (I hope to get authorized for Acrobat 8 soon). When trying to view/open a PDF on a website, I was getting the following message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."
And the PDF won't open.
I downloaded Reader 9, and updated both Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 with all updates.
In Preferences, I have played with enabeling/disabeling the "Display PDF in browser" on both Arobat and Reader with no luck.
Are there any other settings I need to change to be able to open PDFs?
Many thanks!

I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!

Acrobat Forms and submit to Outlook Mac 2011

Anyone come across this.
Use Acrobat Pro 9 and have forms set up to use in Reader with a submit button.
Submit button runs a java script which attaches form to an email (see below), resets the form and then closes the form.
This has worked fine with Entourage (Office Mac 2008) however we have just upgraded to Office Mac 2011 with Entourage now being replaced in the suite with Outlook.
Now we can't get any pdf to attach itself to an email - either using the java script which lets us specify an email address, subject line and copy in the email itself OR the standard built in action in Acrobat Pro itself.
Help?
Java script is as follows - feel free to use.
this.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "default subject",
cMsg: "default message"

Sorry folks - haven't looked at this for a while - found the answer on another thread - don't know why it appears answered here but the answer ain't good I'm afraid and it looks like the problem is with Adobe. Some of the answers were as follows:
Office 2011 on Mac is not an officially supported email client for Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X. Thanks.
Outlook (in Mac Office 2011) is not supported?!?! Adobe is not supporting Office, the MOST POPLAR software package available on the Mac? This does not help Adobe and certainly does not help its customers. This is an awful deficency that needs to be fixed.
Adobe was too dumb to go looking up what was happening with Office for Mac. They've only had 3 years to find out. That they were replacing Entourage with Office. There is no such thing as Entourage on PC. They should have known. I think since they got caught flatfooted they will have to add.
Put simply - it now DOES NOT work with Office 2011 for Mac - downgrade Office anyone?

Appending new pages to signed documents now makes Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 mark signature as invalid

Hello!
I have developed a service that appends additional pages to existing PDF documents. Some of the documents the service works on happen to be signed. As the service appends the pages using incremental updates, the signed contents are left untouched. This makes Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 display the signature state as "valid with subsequent changes" which is ok and no one complains about.
Now along come Acrobat 9 and Reader 9, and all of a sudden the signature state is "invalid" which my users do complain about. Telling them that inspecting the signature state details they can see that the signed content still is untouched and the actual change is recognized to be some appended pages, doesn't help either as they in turn forward the documents to their customers who don't accept the documents if the Adobe Reader sais the signatures are invalid.
Does anyone know a way new pages can be added to a signed document without having the new Adobe program versions choke on them?
Even a hint that involves adding some flag to the original unsigned document or the signature itself would help as the users in question can tweak those processes. Due to the nature of the workflow, though, signing unfortunately must happen before my service can add the new pages.
Best regards, Mikel.
By the way, the signatures in question are regular approval signatures, nothing fancy, especially not certifying signatures (which indeed can forbid any changes or at least any changes but some form fill-ins and annotations)...

Hi Fritz,
In the interest of full disclosure, I got the answer to the problem from one of my distinguished colleagues, I'm just the messenger in this case.
The problem is that the form adds some items to the Arzneispezialität / Zusatztext combobox which are there during signing but the form doesn’t remember that it did this on the next form open.
Since this field is included in the MDP+ signature and the field has changed in the re-opened version vs. the signed version, the MDP+ signature becomes invalid.
XFA has a feature that remembers these kinds of things for you but it is turned it OFF. Please open the attached screen shot to see the control in question.
So, you can either (1) turn this feature ON (Automatically), or (2) write some script to clear the combobox items prior to signing or (3) write some script to repopulate the combobox items on the subsequent open to match the items that were there during signing.

Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine, but I have another machine with just "Reader" installed - is there als

Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine. I am looking for the cheapest solution to get the stuff running on another machine... is there any way to do that with the Acrobat SDK, or do I need to purchase a full version of Acrobat XI ($$) ?

The Acrobat SDK is nothing by itself. It is just information on how to automate Acrobat - just as the Office SDK doesn't include Office, but is for people who already have purchased Office but want to automate it.
These automation things are MARKETING TOOLS FOR ACROBAT. Consider this and the technical limitations make a lot more sense.
So, yes, you need to buy Acrobat. Standard is cheaper than Pro.

PDF Preview kicks out to Acrobat 7 and Body Pages goes blank

Two problems, and I suspect they are related...
I just purchased and installed Acrobat 7 Professional with Adobe Designer.
FIRST--The PDF Preview in Designer automatically kicks the preview out to Acrobat 7 and does not preview in Designer. Why???
SECOND--When I click back to Body Pages, for no reason after a little while the workspace goes blank (back to sheer white). It takes about 5 seconds for that to happen--and it happens inconsistently. It seems strange.
Can anyone help???

It's a rare thing indeed when you can answer your own posts.
I did a "detect and repair" in Acrobat 7.0 Professional, which seemed to fix the problem.
I had loaded Acrobat Reader 7 after the initial install of Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and am wondering if that didn't cause the problem somehow.
Anyway, if anyone else has this problem, you might want to try the "detect and repair."
Let's hope the problem is fixed for good. :-)

Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 8 Reader shortcut keys

Did Adobe change all the shortcut keys for Acrobat and Acrobat Reader?
I've looked in the help files and none of what is listed as shortcut keys seems to be working. This is very annoying.
I've also noticed some of the regular tools in Reader are missing like the type select tool.
Does anyone know if there is a way to customize the short cut keys like in Illustrator or InDesign so that I can get full functionality back from Reader?

I have the same problem. Just installed Acrobat 9 and wanted to zoom in and out with strg(cmd)+/- and nothing happened. I was also looking for a way to customize the short cuts, but didn't find anything.
In the Acrobat help file (LiveDoc) the short cuts for zooming are listed as follows (Keyboard Shortcuts > Navigating a PDF):
English version:
Zoom in: Ctrl(Cmd) + equal sign
Zoom out: Ctrl(Cmd) + hyphen
German version:
Zoom in: Ctrl(Cmd) + plus sign
Zoom out: Ctrl(Cmd) + minus sign
I am using the German version and the plus/minus sign doesn't work. BUT the equal sign works for zooming in while the hyphen doesn't work (probably because of the German keyboard). But Mike Powney said none of these work in his version...
So I wonder if this is a bug, or if the help file is incorrect??
By the way in the German Illustrator CS3 the English short cuts are predefined and working. Although I have been annoyed that they have not kept the old (plus/minus) short cuts like in PS or ID.
I wish the "so praised" consistency of the CS products would show in minor details like this...

Adobe Acrobat 3D and SolidWorks 2006

Hi there,
I was just wondering if anybody else experiences problems with Acrobat 3D and SolidWorks 2006. When I try to convert 3D models from Solidworks 2006 I get an error message: The file contains no displayable geometry.
Converting SolidWorks 2005 models causes no problems.
I am grateful for any help.
Thx
Daniel

Hi,
Thx for your replys too.
I put some sample files in the web, you can download them at:
http://trshare.triumf.ca/~albers/
The frequency tripler is an converted SW2005 file. (no colours)
The BRF rotary mount files are a converted SW2006 file and a SW2006 sldprd file.
The laser beam is a sw2005 file and the converted pdf file.
I am using the programs on a Acer Notebook with a ATI X700 grafic card.
Driver Provider: ATI Technologies Inc. (Omega 2.6.87)
Driver Date: 22.11.2005
Driver Version: 8.201.0.0
XP SP2
SW2006 SP2
Adobe Acrobat 3D V7.0.7 Try out version
I tried different things to convert and the strange thing is Acrobat 3D can convert my SW2005 files but not the SW2006. Are the SW settings so important when you try to convert them in the explorer with right click and than convert to pdf? Because SW isn't started and all necessary informations should be in the file. So maybe it is the way my SW2006 files are saved.
I don't have my notebook with me at the moment but I will check the settings and put it also on the web folder for you.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.
Daniel

Hi Bruno ,
Could you please verify the Acrobat version you are using is the latest Acrobat DC or some older version ?
Does this happen with any particular PDF file or all the documents ?
If you haven' tried repairing your Acrobat ,please try the same and see if that helps .
For repairing Acrobat Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help> Repair Acrobat Installation .
If that does not work you could probably uninstall the software and try downloading it again and see if that fixes the issue .
Let us know how it goes .

Acrobat Plugin and Outlook 2007 use smime certificate(s)

Hi fellas!
My question is more or less a verification for me whether I understand the function correctly:
Signing/encrypting using i.e. a/the smime certificate is solely done by/via the acrobat plugin and is "handed over" from Outlook (in this case 2007) to the plugin which then controls the whole process.
Right?
There is no option to ask for a password to use the certificate(s) if they are configured for use with(in) Acrobat and/or the plugin like it is possible within Outlook alone.
Greetings from Germany
Harry

I'm having all of those problems too and since moving from MobileMe to iCloud now I have to restart Outlook 2007 at least 10 times to get it to open correctly - VERY FRUSTRATING! Not sure im staying on the iCloud thing as it has all the same issue - and even more- than mobileMe... :-(
