Can Acrobat 10 Pro rotate a page by a user-specified amount?

I scanned some pages of text but they didn't feed into the scanner perfectly straight, so when I open the pages they're rotated clockwise by about 1 or 2 degrees. I'd like to rotate them counter-clockwise by 1 or 2 degrees so that the lines of text are perfectly horizontal.
I have Acrobat 9 and it can rotate pages by only 90 or 180 degrees. For those of you who have Acrobat 10, could you check and see if it offers the option for the user to specify an angle for page rotation? Or does it still support only 90 and 180 degree rotation?
If Version 10 supports user-specified page rotation then I'd have a reason to upgrade (are you listening, Adobe?).
Thanks,
Scott

You are overlooking the deskew option under Optimize Scanned PDF. That will automatically align the page.

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.

The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Nope. Did the thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Can Acrobat print thumbnails of pages?

I have a long multipage document that i want to print out as thumbnails on a page, maybe 10 pages per sheet or something like that. Is there any way Acrobat Pro can do that? If not, what out there can do that??

If you can not do it to other printers, you can always print to a new PDF with the selection of printing multiple pages per sheet under page scaling. My other printers show a similar option.

Can Acrobat Pro 6.0 be updated to work with Windows 7?

Hello everyone - I have software that I have been using for years. I like it and it is really all I need. My old computer finally crashed completely and I would like to use Acrobat Pro 6.0 on my Windows 7 machine. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions. I really do not want to spend $400.00 on new software if it can be avoided...
All the best...

I would suggest an update, but I do not think that AA6 qualifies (need at least AA7). A big question is if it is a 32 or 64-bit system? For a 32-bit system there is some hope, though you may have to deal with some work arounds. Typically, AcroTray that automates the PDF creation may not work in Win7 (it does not for the AA5 I installed on Win7). If that is the case, you will have to change the printer port to file rather than Adobe PDF. Then you will be printing to file and have to open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. You may be able to set up a watched folder in Distiller to automate the process a bit. Whatever you do, it will be trail and error and do expect some things to not work.
So the answer is to first install it and see if Acrobat runs at all and if the Adobe PDF printer is installed. If so, then try to print. If it locks up, then try printing to file and open the file in Distiller. If that works, then my suggestions may do the job for you. I was able to get AA5 to work on my 32-bit netbook with Win7 starter this way. Not that clean, but it works. I primarily did it as an experiment, but for you it is a bit more.

Can Acrobat Pro 9 create pdf forms that are readable by older versions of Reader?

I have just downloaded the Trial of Acrobat Pro 9, and my client now tells me they only have Acrobat 5, and can't open the pdf form I've made in 9. My form uses text fields and checkboxes, tooltips but no validation or calculation. Does anyone know if it is possible to save this form in a way that is backwards compatible with Acrobat 5?
Failing this, does anyone know what version of Pro I need in order to add fields and still allow v5 to open the files?
thanks!

I did not read your original post carefully. As far as saving a form that is readable in AA5, AA5 should be able to read an AA9 form as long as you did not use any of the new fancy things in it. In the meantime, simply save the form using either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize with the compatibility set to AA5 or AR5. That process will strip any special issues from the PDF I think. At least that is my assumption. I create PDFs that are AA5 compatible all the time by simply having the properties of the Adobe PDF printer set to AR5 compatibility. As far as the form feature, that is really just a matter of being sure you use features that are AA5 compatible as I have suggested and saving, possibly using one of the two options I have mentioned. In most cases, AR5 will be able to read it even if you do not save in that process, but do not get fancy in the structure.

Acrobat Pro resizing print pages

I need to resize a bi-tonal 600 DPI PDF image only file by 80% of original size.
When I process this file it turns the pages into grey scale pages. How do I turn this off and just keep the image as bi-tonal.

Sorry about that the subversion is 9.4.0 and I am running xp. It is adobe acrobat pro, should I move this question to a different forum?

Can Acrobat Pro XI be downloaded to multiple iPads?

If I buy Acrobat Pro XI, can I download that onto multiple iPads? I am wanting users to sign documents and having it on multiple iPads for multiple users to use at the same time would be helpful.

No, the installer will tell you that you have a more capable version if you attempt to install Acrobat X on a system already installed with Acrobat XI.
If you attempt to install Acrobat XI on a system with Acrobat X then Acrobat X will be removed by the installer.
Use a Virtual Machine (VMWare, VirtualPC, Oracle VirtualBox, etc...) if you need both installed.
Now, that being said, if you manage to install both on the same machine without a Virtual Machine involved then you are asking for problems of file ownership and ActiveX control problems. On top of that you would be in an unsupported configuration.

How can you create a customized page to change user password?

Hello to all,
I would like to create a customized page for a user to change their password. We are using Portal version 3.0.9 on Windows NT/2000. Currently there is a page in portal where a user can change their password.
I tried linking to that page by copying the shortcut url and adding it as an html portlet. The problem is that we want to direct the users to a
page of our choosing when they click on the "cancel" and "ok" buttons. I read in the forums that there is a selfreg.cmd script.
I also read that there is some code that has been available.
Has anyone implemented a customized user password change page? Do you know of any links that might have steps to follow or
more informatioin?
Thanks in advance,
Lindsay

Acrobat Pro 9 Multi-page PDF Printing backwards thumbnails

Any time I create a multi-page PDF and ask it to print, it will print the first page correctly and then print every subsequent page as a mirror image thumbnail in the corner of the paper. If I print each page individually it prints fine. After doing a fair bit of testing, I've found the following:
If I de-select the option "choose paper source by pdf page size" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this means any multi-page PDF with 8x11 and 11x17 doesn't print the 11x17 pages properly as it just prints them on 8x11 paper.
If I select "print as image" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this is unacceptable due to the blurring of lines and text that occurs when selecting this option.
I haven't tested the various page scaling options because I am producing scaled maps, and must therefore leave it set to "none".
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to resolve the issue? Printing 10-20 page documents one sheet at a time isn't exactly an ideal solution.

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.

Can Acrobat Pro Extended create "flexible" forms?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a form using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.   I need it to be able to add additional sections of the form, or add/subtract space in a text box, based on the input received by the person filling out the form.   Can it do that?
For example...let's say I'm creating a job application, and I want the applicant to be able to add more "Previous Employer" sections if they need to, or on a separate question, have as much room to write in a box as they need.    Can I set up the form to accommodate these requests? If so, how?
Thanks,
Janice

I believe it can be done with the included Livecycle form designer but you'd want to check in that forum.

Can Acrobat Pro X (win) merge pdf documents automatically (command line, watched folders, etc.) ?

Greetings,
I would like to know if there is a way to automatically merge PDF documents so that a script (vbscript, not AutoIT) can be relied upon to merge documents.
Ideally, a command line approach or hot folder is what I am after.
Thank you,
Antoine

You can with vbscript using IAC (InterApplication Communications) if you have Acrobat installed, and you're not using it on a server. More information is in the Acrobat SDK documentation. If you set it up to use a hot folder, only the licensee can be the one dumping the files into it.

I have created an editable PDF via Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is there a way in InDesign to make sure when someone type in that text field it is a certain font?

I need to make sure the text that is entered is a certain font to keep it continuous with the rest of the document. Thank you!

To go into form editing mode, select "Prepare Form" in the right hand pane. You'll then get a toolbar along the top that contains the various form-related tools. The first thing to do is add a temporary button. You'll use this to determine the name of the font for use with the script as well as place the script that will change the font properties of the text fields. So create a button anywhere, double-click it to bring up the field properties dialog, and on the Actions tab add a JavaScript action to the Mouse Up event that is:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
app.alert(event.target.textFont);
On the Appearance tab, select the font that you want to use for the text fields. Once you've done that, close form editing mode and click the button. It will display a popup that will list the font name. This may be different than the name that appeared in the dropdown on the appearance tab, so write it down. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" from the dropdown, the popup showed "MinionPro-Regular".
The next step is to replace that Mouse Up script with the following:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
// Change the font and font size for all text field in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
 var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
 if (f.type === "text") {
 f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular";
 f.textSize = 9;
Replace "MinionPro-Regular" with the font name that you wrote down before and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of "Auto".
This script will change the font of all text fields to whatever you specify. When you've confirmed that the text fields are set up as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll be doing a lot of forms work, you can create custom tools in Acrobat to speed up this process, but this should get you started. InDesign won't let you specify a lot of field properties and actions, so you have to work this way, and using automation scripts is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.
