Building an eBook in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

Hey guys,
This is my first post to the forum so please be gentle... In brief, something I'm not known for, I've decided on the PDF format so I can offer my eBook to anyone owning a computer with an internet connection.
Try as I may I've not been able to find a good step-by-step guide on converting a word doc into Acrobat X Pro for the purposes of an eBook. Ideally it would walk through the entire process including security, not allowing printing, copying etc.
Another conversation I'd like to have is on the security issue. As I understand it you can only have one password making me think I'm missing something... Selling an eBook with one password seems problematical to me and thought there may be other security measures I've missed. Selling hundreds of thousands of eBooks, hey a man can dream, with one password doesn't sound like a good plan to me. So have I missed something?
Thanks guys, eBooks and Acrobat X are both new to me so any help you're willing to give would be most appreciated.
Harry

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

"Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
Version 7.0.5730.13
Build 75730
Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
Language Engelska (USA)

I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
(The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
Hope this helps someone.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - Buch einscannen und markieren

Guten Nachmittag
Ich habe ein Buch, von dem es kein eBook gibt. Ich wollte mir wichtige Seiten einscannen (.jpg) und dann diese nach Adobe PDF konvertieren und darin die wichtigen Textstellen in Adobe farbig markieren.
Das geht aber leider nicht, ich erhalte die folgende Meldung:
„Warnung für gescannte Seite
Diese Seite enthält nur ein Bild einer gescannten Seite. Es sind keine Textzeichen vorhanden. Möchten Sie die Zeichenanalyse durchführen, um zu versuchen, den Text auf dieser Seite zugänglich zu machen?
Nicht mehr anzeigen"
Ich glaube aber, dass es anderswie irgendwie möglich sein müsste.
Ist es nicht so, dass man in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro seinen Scanner ansteuern und die Texterkennung aktivieren können müsste?
... und dass, wenn man einen Scan erst einmal rastert (also ein Bitmap draus macht und es als jpg abspeichert), keine Texterkennung bzw. -bearbeitung mehr möglich ist?
Wüsste vielleicht jemand, wie man den Scanner also ansteuert und die Texterkennung aktiviert?
Oder ist es anderswie möglich, das Buch einzuscannen und da dann elektronisch zu markieren?
Danke, LG, Alinea34

Diese Funktion gibt es nur auf Windows, da auf dem Mac bei Word und anderen Programmen entsprechende Funktionen fehlen, das auszulesen.

I want to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro full version... Limited access vs. full access?

I want to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro full version, but I don't know what the difference is between limited access to online services offered by the full version and the full access that's offered by the month-to-month version. In other words, what would I losing by acquiring the full version, rather than just paying the $19.99 per month and get full access to online services? Can someone help clear this up for me? Thanks!

Hi dmoynihan0421,
The retail version of Acrobat costs around US449$ and the monthly subscription is available for a very nominal fee of 19.99$ per month.
The software is the same and there's no difference between the functionality of Acrobat except that in the retail version you have a serial number to permanently activate the software whereas in subscription Acrobat validates the license very month to check if the subscription is active or not.
The main difference between the two however is the Adobe Online services.
When you buy Acrobat XI Pro as a one-time purchase, you get only Acrobat software. No online services are included.
When you subscribe to Acrobat Pro in select countries, you pay a low monthly fee to get:
Acrobat XI Pro desktop software, including any upgrades
The FormsCentral Plus online service for creating and distributing web forms
The Adobe PDF Pack online service that makes it easy to create, convert, and combine PDFs in your browser
Acrobat.com for storing and sharing files in the cloud
The details of these services are as follows:
Adobe online services extend your Acrobat XI working environment to help you streamline and simplify your projects:
Adobe FormsCentral makes it fast and easy to create, distribute, and analyze forms. A desktop version of the online service is included in Acrobat XI Pro. Using the FormsCentral desktop app, you can create unlimited PDF forms for free from scratch or by using professional templates. If you subscribe to Acrobat Pro† or open a free or paid account with the FormsCentral online service, you can also use the desktop app to build web forms and manage form distribution and analysis.
Adobe EchoSign makes it easy to get rid of paper signatures forever. If you open a free or paid account with the service, you can use the Sign pane in Acrobat XI to send documents to others for signature approval and track results online. Recipients can sign electronically without installing software or creating an EchoSign account.
Acrobat.com lets you store and access your files online from within Acrobat or Reader on any device when you sign up for a free account or subscribe† to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard.
Adobe PDF Pack lets you create, combine, and export PDFs from any browser or mobile device. PDF Pack is included when you subscribe† to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard — or you can open a paid account.
Adobe Send is an Adobe online service that lets you send and track large files — including audio and video — without the headaches of email size restrictions. Paid subscriptions are available.
Regards,
Rave

Saving a Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

We create forms for the company to use with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, but because others do not have Acrobat 9 Pro they can not save the document after they have filled out the form. This is causing a big issue for us. Does anyone know a way that we can create a Form in Acrobat 9 Pro that allows others to fill it out using just the plain version of Adobe (guessing they only have Reader) and then they can save it to their desktop?

You need to apply the Extended Reader Rights to it from the Advanced menu in
Acrobat.

AutoCAD Revit Architekture 2010 in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Hallo,
wer kann mir weiter helfen?
Wie bekomme eine AutoCAD Revite Architekture 2010 Datei in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?
Ich möchte eine 3D PDF herstellen!
Vielen Dank im Voraus.
Beste Grüße
Jörg P.

Vermutlich gar nicht, soweit ich die Infos überschaue. Bestenfalls als DWG exportieren und dann in Acrobat importieren. Da ADesk aber das Format jedes Jahr erweitert/ ändert um allen anderen den Spass zu verderben, gibt's dafür keine Garantie. SAT könnte auch funzen. Ansonsten gibt's sicher irgendwo ein schnuckeliges Export-Plugin für sowas zu kaufen...

Error 1500 in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Install

I have Windows 8.1, and I am attempting to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from the content disc provided when I purchased Creative Suite 5 some time ago. During installation, I received the Error 1500 message. No existing forum is solving my problem. I have tried unregistering, then re-registering my Windows Installer. There are also no mid-installation processes in my registry. Also, the fact that I can only get customer support over a forum is unpleasant to me. That seems a little consumer elitist, don't you think? Anyway, I digress. If you can, please help.

Hi athoopes,
We apologize for the inconvenience, we would try to help you with this issue.
I would like to inform you that there could also be an issue with the compatibility between Acrobat 9 pro and windows 8.1 as it was not tested on win 8.1.

Hi,
I have a question regarding what languages Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro works in and can recognise.
I need to confirm if the following lanaguages can be recognised in this above program...
Arabic, Aramaic and Mathematical & Scientific characters and formulae.
I also need French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Greek - but I was quite confident it would recognise these.
Thanks in advance
Laura

Can I just add...
I am refering to when you OCR a document.....what languages will it recognise?
Is there an add on pack available?

Changing the order for printing portfolio files in adobe acrobat 9 pro

Does anyone know how to change the order for printing pdf files that are part of a portfolio in adobe acrobat 9 pro? The documentation seems to say that it prints files alphabetically by filename rather than by the internal sort order. This won't work for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

Question1: No.
Question2: No.

How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
Where do I go to edit email preferences?

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro causes an error when starting it - Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. How do I resolve this?

I've had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for some time, but yesterday it stopped working and I started having an 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working' error. It then tells me to Close the Program.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks and regards
Roxanne

Thanks Pat. I was able to resolve the problem.
OS is Windows 7 Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.07.
I went into the Properties file where I identified that Users only had Read & Execute and Read properties, I changed properties for Everyone to Full Control. That fixed the problem.
I don't know how the properties got changed to just Read & Execute, but there had been an automatic update the night before.

Error 1067: when trying to update Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and have been using it for over 3 years. I Changed computers and uninstalled it from my first and then reinstalled it in my new, but have run into a problem that I cannot find an answer to, nor can I get any help from Adobe.
I will be notified that there are updates available and I will select yes to update the program, but after 20-30 second, a new window will pop up stating:
Update Failed
The process terminated unexpectedly.
Error: 1067
Details (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-errors-acrobat-reader-windows.html)
From there, I will click on the Details link and be sent to an Adobe page telling me:
Try downloading Reader directly from this page.
This link sends me to a page to download the latest version of Adobe Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/), so, I will make all of the selections, download it, install it, restart my computer, but when I open Acrobat 9 Pro and try to run the update again, nothing changes and I receive the same error message.
Now, I go to try and get some help from Adobe, but am just sent here to see if I can find out any other information because they "no longer" help with Acrobat 9 Pro(?).
Does anyone have any answer on what I can do to fix this or why this is happening? I've never had any problems with this program before. It just all started when I changed computers, and this one is a brand new computer, so no bugs or anything. I installed Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5 and InDesign CS5 without any problems and they all updated without a problem.
I'm not sure how important the updating really is, but it makes me feel better, knowing that any changes or problems with the program can get "fixed" with these updates.
Thank You,
Sean

Not that it is going to ease the testing of your patience at all to suggest you try somewhere else, but there is a forum dedicated to Acrobat Installation and Update Issues that might have some info or people ready and able to help you:

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.
