Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

Hi!
I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
If anyone can help!
This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
I just updated my software, thanks for that!
Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

Hello,
Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
I have Acrobat PRO DC .
Thank you.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good. I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad.
THanks

If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save. If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved. If I select “Save”, the modification is saved. So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save. Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit. So there is no prompt to Save on close. The modifications are saved automatically.
If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open. Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user. This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

Unable to save a copy of encrypted pdf with Acrobat Pro 10.0

I create an encrypted pdf using prince a tool to convert HTML documents to pdf. I am unable to save a copy of the pdf file when i use Acrobat Pro 10.0.
It displays the following error
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document(21)."
However Acrobat Reader (basic) allows me to do so.
I am also able to save a copy of the document with Acrobat pro 7. I raised this issue with Prince and they told me that it could probably be a bug/unwanted behaviour with Acrobat Pro 10.0
My system environment details:
OS: Windows xp
Acrobat Pro: 10.0.0

Is it possible to edit a pdf with Acrobat Pro XI that was created in LiveCycle?

I downloaded a trial version of LiveCycle awhile back. I created several forms. The trial period ended and I would like to change something. When I try to edit the pdf in Acrobat Pro it tells me that I must use LiveCycle to edit it. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you in advance for any replies.
Dana

No, all LCD forms can only be edited in LCD.
And the second trial is probably not going to work, unless you install it
on a different computer.
The best way to salvage your form, in my experience, is to print it to the
Adobe PDF printer, creating a new flat PDF file and then running the Form
Detection Wizard in Acrobat on it and continuing from there. It probably
won't do a perfect job, but it should recognize some of the fields.

How to embed a mp4 video into a pdf with acrobat pro XI?

I'm trying to embed a mp4 video into a pdf using Acrobat Pro XI. When I try to play the video, all I see is a black box. The video is H.264 codec. I've tried on a PC and Mac and get the same results.

Video playback in the Acrobat Family uses Flash Player, so if it works in FP (loaded via an HTML page) then it should work in your PDF. First suggestion is to use the free MediaInfo tool to check exactly what the internal structure reports as.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

Problems with print to pdf with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

***The page I am using for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html
***I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 installed.
The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print that selected text the first line gets chopped, if the text is small the first line might even be missing completely. Perhaps it is a margin issue but not sure how to modify this.
I know I am not being very clear but if anybody has any ideas or would like further info please let me know.
Thank you.

I suspect if you do the same process with a print to paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the full font to a PDF. That would suggest it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so be careful about drawing your conclusions.

Line spacing (leading) when converting web page to PDF with Acrobat Pro 8.1.2

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro version 7.0.9 to version 8.1.2 (Windows XP Pro). In many cases, when I "Convert current web page to an Adobe PDF file" using the Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer, the spacing between lines is much larger with version 8 than it was with version 7. Has anyone else observed this? Is there any way to control leading?

Problem with .docx files and Office 2004

After the upgrade to Snow Leopard, I now am receiving a message "There is not enough memory or disk space to convert." when I try to open a Office 2007/2008 docx file. The error does not happen on all docx files, but only on files over 100kb. The same files that do not work now, all worked prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. I am using a fully patched Office 2004 (11.5) in addition to the open XML compatibility software 1.1.1 from Microsoft. I have removed all error and duplicate fonts and repaired disk permissions.
I have looked on both Apple and Microsoft for an answer, but nothing except Microsoft claiming Office 2008 will work seamlessly with Snow Leopard.

I just came across this problem too. Very frustrating. I just got this new MacBook Pro last week (so I'm using Snow Leopard too). I installed Office 2004, updated it to 11.5, and installed the open XML conversion software, but no dice. I absolutely should have plenty of memory and disk space to do any docx conversion.
Also, I'm only trying to convert a 20KB docx file, so large file size isn't an issue here. And my copy of Office 2004 is totally legit, in case that's a question.
I really need to be able to open docx files for work, so this is a real problem for me. Help me, Apple-wan Kenobi!

Batch Process crop page 2 - Acrobat Pro 9 crashes

Hi am trying to set up a Batch Sequence to crop 4 pages. (The crop for each page is different).
I can set up the first Command in the sequence to crop page 1 only. Then when I try to set up the next Command to crop page 2 Acrobat quits!
Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I type in a number in the first box of the page range the application quits. Good news though. If you have Acrobat 8 it appears to work okay. It also appears possible to copy the sequence from v8 and use it in v9. You just have to track down the "Sequences" folders for each version and copy the v8 sequence into the v9 folder. The folders are in the user Library folder, buried a few layers deep.
If v9 is all you have though, I think this workaround might do what you need. Since Acrobat doesn't remove any of the data when you crop and since you should be able to change the second number in the page range without the app quitting, you can try this:
• Have your first command crop pages 1-4 using the margins you want for page 4
• Have your second command crop pages 1-3 using the margins you want for page 3
• Have your third command crop pages 1-2 using the margins you want for page 2
• Have your fourth command crop pages 1-1 using the margins you want for page 1
That should leave each page with the correct crop. Just remember not to try changing the first number in the page range.

Creating a Fillable PDF with Acrobat Pro 9

Hey there, i've got a problem when trying to create a fillable PDF Document.
I simple want to get a calculation done.
I got Checkboxes and i need a calculation like this:
For example:
If there is a "x" in the field named checkbox1, then it should go forward and check what number is in the Field named "Hours1"
if its higher than 2, it should put a 0,25 in the field, if higher than 4, put a 0,5 in the field, if higher than 6, put a 0,75 in the field and if higher than 8, put a 1 in the field and if nothing is written in hours1, leave it blank
Like:
If checkbox1 > 0 then if hours1 > 2 then 0,25 else if hours1 > 4 then 0,5 else if > 6 then 0,75 else if > 8 then 1 else ""
i used this calculation on excel but now we wanted to send a fillable pdf via email, but the recievers of the email always mix up the calculation, so i wanted to have it already in the pdf and calculating by it own.
i found basic things like field1 + field2 but i just saw that i need javascript to get what i need.
but well, i dont have any idea of JS.
maybe u can give me some links where i can learn it or something else.
iam looking forward to any help i recieve.
thanks for reading and i hope u can help me.
Navex007

"Automatic Form Recognition" looks for blank areas next to text and assumes the format.
You probably will need to place each individual form and write each script.
You can find articles at Planet PDF and Acrobat Users Community and there a number of books on how to create and program forms.

Problem Using Back Button in IE When Viewing PDFs with Acrobat Pro

I have an administrative page on my website where I view PDFs of form data submitted by my clients. It has worked fine all along, but suddenly a problem. When I view a PDF, I could always hit the back button and it would take me to the Administrative Interface (of all of my forms). BUT now if I hit the back button it takes me right back to the same form (page) I'm viewing. Below if the Administrative Interface....It may be hard to see but on the left side is a link for the PDFs of available forms. Clicking on the link opens the form...but again when I then click back I'm supposed to return to this administrative page...but instead back viewing the exact same form. HELP!

How do I do the PDF View Previous if the PDF is opening in a browser window in IE?
