C# Acrobat 8 vs. Acrobat 4

Hi,
I am currently switching the referenced DLL in a C# project from a prehistoric Acrobat 4 to an Acrobat 8 equivalent.
My Question is what DLLdo I have to use now?
Previously it used to be done like the following (using the ACRODISTXLib.dll):
ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller myDist= new ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistillerClass ();
myDist.OnJobFail +=new ACRODISTXLib._PdfEvents_OnJobFailEventHandler(handle_OnJobFail);
myDist.FileToPDF(inputPostScript, outputPDF, jobOptions);
For the new version it also states in the SDK that the above methods should be used, the problem is that I can not find the same methods in the DLL installed by Acrobat Prof 8. What I got is this:
AdobePDFMakerX.Distiller acro8 = new AdobePDFMakerX.Distiller();
//There is no "OnJobFailEventHandler
acro8.DistillFile(inputFilename, outputFilename, promptForOutputName);
So what should I actually be using (or why does the SDK still mention the PdfDistiller) ?
Kind regards!

After completely removing all Acrobat Products and making a new clean installation of Acrobat 8 the problem is solved, the ACRODISTXLib can be retrieved from the \Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\acrodist.exe as a reference in VS C#.

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

Exporting Quark to Acrobat. Acrobat enlarges page size, how do I export to Adobe Acrobat so that it keeps the page size the same?

Exporting Quark to Acrobat. Acrobat enlarges page size, how do I export to Adobe Acrobat so that it keeps the page size the same?

Thank you. I used to be able to Export from Quark to Acrobat without any problems when I was using Acrobat 7. Just changed to Acrobat 8 and have this problem. My 8.5x11 pages become 33x44 inches when exported to Acrobat 8. 400% increase in size. I don't know why. I tried Printing my Quark file to Adobe PDF and that worked. Thank you for your help.

PDDocSaveWithParams does not change PDF version from 1.8 (Acrobat 9, Acrobat X) to 1.4

Dear all,
this post seems similar to this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1160826#1160826
but it is not.
Our customers prepare documents to be presented at regulatory authorities, and it is required that these documents have PDF Version 1.4, are linearized, etc. In a plug-in we change the document properties accordingly. This used to work fine with Acrobat versions from 6 to 9. Then came Acrobat X.
We detected the problem with a document created with Acrobat PDFMaker 10.0 for Word: a very simple 1-page 3-lines document with no Acrobat X features.
When using Acrobat X, after calling PDDocSaveWithParams, the PDF version was not changed as required. (We check this calling PDDocGetVersion from the plugin after saving.)
Doing the same conversion with Acrobat 9 seemed to be OK: PDDocGetVersion reported PDF Version 1.4.
But when opening the converted document in Acrobat X, it still reported "PDF Version: 1.7 Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X.x)".
Opening it in a text editor showed that the header was "%PDF-1.4", but it still had "<</Extensions<</ADBE<</BaseVersion/1.7/ExtensionLevel 8>>>>..."
With Acrobat 8 and below, the version could not be downgraded, but this was reported correctly.
Downgrading the version directly via the "Optimize" function of Acrobat X worked.
I could not test Acrobat 9, since I have no Professional version available.
In Acrobat 8 Prof, I saw the message "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.", and the "Optimize" function was disabled.
Now I have the following questions:
(1) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade the version with Acrobat X ?
(2) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade correctly with Acrobat 9 ?
(3) Is it a known problem that Acrobat9 wrongly reports the PDF Version of the document, in this case ?
(4) Why is downgrading (or optimizing) disabled for Acrobat 8 and below ?
Thank you !

Remember that as of PDF 1.4, the version number in the PDF header can be overridden via a /Version key in the /Catalog dictionary. In addition, the presence of an /Extension dictionary (ISO 32000-1) will also override the header version.
The header version is JUST A HINT - it is NOT a guarantee of any sort.
Based on both of the above, neither of your "bugs" are bugs.
Acrobat 9 (and I assume X as well) are reporting correctly. If you have a PDF that you believe IS being reported incorrectly, please post!
If the Extensions dict is present, the Save command will NOT override it since it takes precedence.

URGENT: Bug in Adobe Acrobat X /// Acrobat.exe Runtime Error! R6025 - pure virtual function call

Hello
I work usually with large PDF documents, and I was trying to convert a PDF document of 1000 pages ONE THOUSAND PAGES, to little PDF documents of 10 MB each one.
When I tried to convert the PDF file into little ones, craaashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I got this message:
Acrobat.exe Runtime Error! R6025 - pure virtual function call - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
This seems to be a BUG AS BIG A GRAND PIANO... so I would like someone from Adobe tell me how may I solve this problem or if they will release an update soon?
Thank you

This is a user to user forum and we don't post information here (or anywhere else public) about what may or may not be in future patch releases.

Acrobat X, Acrobat XI, Reader: no one is playing Audio Files in a PDF

Hello everybody,
thank you for supporting.
I tried the following with Acrobat X, XI and Reader but I didn't find any solution...
You can see the problem on the pictures... One time I get the sound, but the as I reopened the file, the error was displaing again...
When I click on every "sound" icon on the file (there are about 50 icons) I get the following message:
If I click on "Richiama lettore multimediale" I get this pages with nothing... (WOW ADOBE!):
Here an audio file properties:
I've formatted my PC one time some month ago, and reinstalled Acrobat and Reader many times... nothing changes..
Can you help me?
Thank you!

You are trying to play something we call "legacy media" which relies on an external program being installed that can read the media files (in this case, MP4). Adobe have stopped development of legacy media in Acrobat as it can be used to deploy malicious code; and as you have found out it is very unreliable.
You need to ensure you have another application on your computer which can play those sound files, and that it's registered as the default application for that extension. Acrobat and Reader will then try and load it.

Does Acrobat 12 (Acrobat DC) require each user to create an Adobe ID?

I work in a University environment and we'd rather not force everyone who uses one of our Stand-Alone licenses to create an Adobe ID in order to use Acrobat. Is there a way to create an installer that just asks for the Serial Number? I did some reading that you could disable the cloud functions and that would probably be in the same ballpark, but can't find anything about not having to create and ID. Ideally, we would like for users to just have the same features they had in 11 without creating an Account, without having cloud functions and without having to do too much work on the back end to make that happen (there are only two of us in the office and we don't have a ton of spare time to figure it out). Thanks

I create the 64- bit package in CCP using the enterprise license and have two folders - build and exceptions
In previous versions of Acrobat, I would make a two step task sequence:
1. install from exceptions deployer using the following command: ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre --installLanguage=en_US
followed by
2. the MSI from the deploy folder - msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSINMSNP /i "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.msi"
This procedure no longer works so I have tried several things that also don't work.
If I first try to install from Adobe Acrobat DC\Exceptions\APRO15.0en_US\Adobe Acrobat using setup.exe, the program bombs out asking for a serial number (not the one I use in CCP to create the package - that one does not work)
If I start with \Adobe Acrobat DC\Build it bombs out and gives me no feedback at all
So, I am stumped. I can get nothing to run from the command line without bombing out. Usually I can install this package manually before I make a deployment for SCCM. This time, I can't do it without it asking for a serial number (one that is different from the one I use in CCP to create the package)
Perhaps Ashishes post below describes the right order?

PDF file association changes to use Acrobat after Acrobat installed

Hi,
I have packaged a silent installation of Acrobat X Professional using the Customisation wizard. We have to make Reader the default viewer (without using a script after the install). No matter which option I select for the default viewer in the customisation tool (as shown below), Acrobat X Professional becomes the default viewer. I am trying to add or modify the installer database table so that it leaves the current association with Reader.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon

Hi,
That has done the trick, thanks! I found yesterday I could also use LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES on the command line to achieve the result, however we wanted to add to the Property table of the MST. In the case of LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES this did not seem to work, but with IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read it is working well.
Thanks again,
Simon

Documents open in separate Acrobat Window Acrobat 9 Pro

When I open multiple documents in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, each opens in a separate window.
In Acrobat 6 Pro, all files opened in the same window, & I could select which was displayed in the 'window' menu, or I could cascade or tile the documents.
Can Acrobat 9 be configured to open multiple documents without opening separate windows for each? If so, can it be easily switched back & forth?
Thanks in advance,
Norm

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405108&sliceId=1
which was in november 2008....
why hasnt any thing else been done about it? I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
Please do this if you havent already:

Develop with Adobe Acrobat for Acrobat Reader users

Hello everyone!
Maybe it should be obvious, but I didn't get it even after reading the documentation.
I know that I can't highlight text or extract text developing for C# having only Acrobat Reader installed.
I also know that it should be possible with Adobe Acrobat installed. However, I am not sure about this:
Should the users of my application also have Adobe Acrobat installed or Acrobat Reader will suffice? Again, I ONLY want my application to search and highlight text programmatically, I do not want to create new PDFs or edit existing ones.
Thanks in advance!

Your users will also require Adobe Acrobat.

Acrobat 8 & Acrobat Reader 8 slow to open PDFs across WAN

I'm currently having a really strange problem with the users in one of my offices when they attempt to open PDFs with either Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. These users are connecting across a WAN via a point-to-point T1 to the main location to open these PDFs. Some are nearly 8MB and yet Acrobat Reader 8 launches and displays them in about five seconds. Literally. Yet other files, around 2.5-3MB, take about a minute to a minute and a half to open. I know the larger PDFs were created with software not from Adobe, but instead were created using this PDF printer driver made by Iteksoft. It seems the Iteksoft app creates them in such a way that AcroRead can launch and then begin displaying the file even though I know there's no way an 8MB file has copied across the WAN in just a few seconds. However, the other PDFs apparently don't have that "feature" and so the entire file must be copied before AcroRead launches. Interestingly enough, when the users had AcroRead 7 or Acrobat Pro 6 all files opened "quickly" so something has changed in Acrobat/Acrobat Pro 8 in how the app opens PDFs.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Joe

Ok, so they are being opened directly in Acrobat/Reader.
In this case, Acrobat (or Reader) doesn't need to read the whole file
in the general case. A PDF file contains a large number of objects
describing what is on the pages, and the other aspects of the file.
There is an index to these objects.
So Acrobat starts by reading the index, then reads what it needs.
In some cases it may have to read next to nothing, to show the first
page of a document of many pages. In other cases it will have to read
all of the file, because (perhaps) it has one page and so everything
needed has to be read to show you that page.
The amount of data read has very little relation to the file size
(except that it should be no more than the file size). You have to
look at how the file is made up (e.g. page count? What is on pages?)
to go further.

Acrobat launches, license agreement appears, I accept, Acrobat opens, Acrobat closes

There was a update of all Adobe products this week. The update went smoothly. When I try to open a PDF document, Acrobat 10 Pro, an Adobe software license agreement box opens, I accept, the box disappears, Acrobat closes immediatly. It won't stay open.
I need this program. What can I do?
Wndows 7 Premium.
Everything worked just fine before, the problem with the 30-day close had been fixed and now this. This is getting tedious. I have the Creative Design Suite and the Creative Production Suite. Acrobat is associated with the Design Suite.
Something must be done.
Please advise.

Have done so through Photoshop and found the EULA.exe within the files for Adobe Reader and ran and accepted it through both those options.
The issue persists but only on Adobe Acrobat 10 as the other Adobe CS6 applications run without any issues. It is sods law that Acrobat is the application that is required.
I have accepted the EULA in the above ways as the primary user and an administrator account.
Thank you for the assistance Michael, any other potential ideas would be appreciated as I cannot think of anything else I can do.

Unable to create pdf files after upgrade to acrobat dc, acrobat crashes

Since I just upgraded to Acrobat DC I am not able to create PDF files any more. Whatever program I tried, the PDF-printing process always crashes. Deinstallation and reinstallation does not help in any way. Even worse, there is no option to install any former version of Adobe Acrobat through the Creative Cloud App. Any office or CAD software from which I am trying to print also totally stucks from the PDF printing process. I am a freelancer and have some urgent deadlines tomorrow, so the last thing I need right now is trouble with my pdf-printer. Any help is highly appreciated. (Windows 7 Professional, HP ZBook 15 Mobile Workstation).

For those of you who are Creative Cloud members and are facing the same problem, this is the way to reinstall Acrobat XI Pro (you will not find this option within the Creative Cloud App):
1. Make sure you uninstalled Acrobat DC.
2. Log in with your account data on https://creative.adobe.com
3. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/de/products/acrobat
4. Choose Acrobat XI Pro from the dropdown menu and click the download button.
5. An event handler will ask you in a popup window if you want to open the link within the Adobe Creative Cloud App. Choose CreativeCloud(URIHandler) from the list and hit okay.
6. The Download will now apear in the Apps list of the Creative Cloud App and can be installed by hitting the Install button.
Took me some time to figure that out and I would prefer to use the latest Acrobat version. But as long as Acrobat DC causes my other applications to crash, Acrobat XI Pro will do the job.

Can't edit object properties (Acrobat X, Acrobat 8.x)

I'm trying to tag a PDF for accessibility. I would like to be able to tag the images in the document as 'background'.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to edit any of the object properties for images.
Here's what I do:
Expose the Content tools.
Click Edit Object.
Click to select an image.
Right-click and select Properties.
At this point, a multi-tab dialog pops up, in which all fields are disabled.
I thought to work around the problem by going back to Acrobat 8.x, but I'm seeing the same behavior there.
What step am I missing, here?

These are the steps I've been told to use to edit the tags on an image:
Open the Content section in Tools.
Click 'Edit Object'.
Click image to select it.
Right-click image and select 'Properties'.
Change to Tags tab.
Set tag to 'Artifact.'
These steps are impossible to complete, because all fields in the Properties (a.k.a. "TouchUp properties" [sic]) dialog are disabled.
If in fact this has "nothing to do with tagging an image", then I shouldn't even be able to access the dialog, much less be able to access it and discover that all settings it exposes are disabled.
In fact, every means that I've found so far that gives me access to the "TouchUp proerties" dialog for an image or a path, gives it to me with all fields except color disabled. (Please note: this is not just paths, it's also images. Even if it were just paths, that would be a serious problem, since any brochure or magazine layout is liable to contain a huge number of paths that need to be tagged as background images.)
The ONLY ways so far that I've found that it's possible to edit the tags on an image are:
Use 'Find...' as described above to bring the image/path/etc. into the reading order, and then use the TouchUp Reading Order dialog or right-click in the Reading Order pane to set it as background. This is inexact and time-consuming, especially for things like graphic-intensive brochures or magazine layouts.
Use a marquee-selection in the TouchUp Reading Order tool to select objects and set them as background. This is inadequate because in many of the cases that I deal with, you'll still be left with a lot of objects you can't select in this manner. (Try using this method to select an image that has the same vertical or horizontal dimension as the page it resides on, for example.)
If you are aware of another way, I wisth you'd tell me what it is.
It sounds to me like you're thinking I'm using the Select Object tool. I'm not. It's pretty obvious that's not going to work, because it doesn't even afford access to the "TouchUp properties" dialog.

I have crative cloud and i updates adobe acrobat to Acrobat DC.

Now its telling me that i have to purchase Acrobat DC? Why?

Major delays when I launch Acrobat X (Acrobat Not Responding)

I have Acrobat X (and Adobe CS6) installed on a relatively fast Windows machine. When I click on Photoshop, Illustrator, etc they launch within 2-3 seconds.
When I click on a PDF file, Acrobat X launches immediately but then it stops (the Acrobat window fades and I get an "not responding message") for as long as 60-120 seconds. After the delay, everything is fine. If I close the existing PDF file (not terminating Acrobat) and open another PDF file, all is still fast and OK. But if I close Acrobat and re-launch another PDF file, the same behavior is displayed.
Based on my initial observations (but I cannot clearly pinpoint it) it may be related to my wired and wireless connections. I am not 100% sure, but may be when the wireless adapter is enabled, this happens. Both my wired and wifi connections are very stable and steady.
Any thoughts? This has been quite annoying.

Hello,
Try the following steps,
- close all Adobe applications.
- Navigate to :
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat
- You can also navigate by Typing %appdata% into Run command window.
- Rename Acrobat folder to Acrobat.old and then try to launch the program.
Regards,
Yuvarj.
