Can I redact a pdf with Acorbat XI Standard?

I have Acrobat XI Standard and want to redact sections of a pdf. There is no option to redact under the Tools>Protection menu.

Actually, it can be done in Acrobat Standard as well, but it requires using a script.

  • Where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

    where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

    I don't think it's available yet.  The English help page has a link to it:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
    But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:
    Help bij Lightroom | Help bij Lightroom
    Same for DE, FR, ES.  Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

  • Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    So what you really want is for your signature's appearance to contain user's ID and signing time. To do that you sign PDF with a regular digital signature and apply custom appearance to it. The "Sign" dialog contains "Appearance" field that has a drop-down list on the right which lists all available appearances and a "Create New Appearance" button. The standard/default signature appearance already contains signing time. You can create a custom appearance that includes additional information that you want to appear there. If you want your username to appear in the signature appearance you create an image file that contains your username and add this image to your custom appearance.
    Multiple users can definitely sign the same PDF. Usually the signing certificate owner's name appears in the certificate itself and is included in the standard/default signature appearance. This is not Windows username but still identifies the signer, IMO better than Windows username. I do not think you want to disclose your password by placing it in the signature appearance.
    You keep mixing two completely different and unrelated concepts: authentication and signing. I still do not understand what exactly you mean by "authentication". It has nothing to do with signature.

  • How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

    I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard.  It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion.  How can I fix this?

    The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half.  Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
    Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

  • How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

    How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

    Something to try -
    Having installed Acrobat Standard you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer installed.
    From your authoring application do a "file-print" and select the Adobe PDF printer rather than the attached local or network printer / plotter.
    Be well...

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

    Anna;
    Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
    If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • User can't access a PDF with Forms

    On a website, we have a main menu PDF with a list of bookmarks linking to individual user manual PDFs.  When a user tries to access a user manual  PDF with forms in it, they get the error "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (118)." The user dosen't appear to have any problem opening a PDF that doesn't contain forms. 
    The user is using Reader 10.1.3 and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.19328.  This user cannot access the PDFs with forms when given a direct link to the file either. However, if the user is sent the PDF file they can open it with Reader and in their browser.  I'm stumped.  Does any body know what's going on here?

    Is there a browser setting that can affect if a PDF opens? Something in security, perhaps? I've looked around and don't see anything obvious that could allow/disallow opening a PDF file that contains form fields.

  • Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

    I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista.  I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone.  I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently.  When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes.  A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears.  When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery.  Any suggestions?

    AcroTray is running.  Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way.  I have not disabled it with Vista.  I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close.  I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window.  I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause. 

  • I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

    Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
    I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
    I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
    I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
    All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
    As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
    I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

    Hi a.vouga,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.

  • Can't export a PDF with XFA form

    Cannot convert/export a PDF document containing an SFA form - can this program not do this?

    Hi Morin27,
    XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
    To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
    Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

  • How can I populate a pdf with database data?

    How can I populate a pdf that we have on our server with database data on our server?

    Actually, if you export it in the right format then you won't need a script
    at all.
    You can import data directly into fields from a plain-text file via Tools -
    Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...
    I believe the format is tab-delimited with the field names in the first row
    and their values in the second.

  • Can I create a PDF with form controls using JAVA?

    I have a web site running on linux (Ubuntu). I'm programming in Java. Presently I use open office to create PDFs with form controls (checkboxes, lists and text fields). I'd like to be able to create in my program (Java) with form controls. JasperReports is not good because I don't see a way to create form controls. Help!!!

    I am not sure what this has to do with the Acrobat SDK, as we don't have a version of SDK for Linux (or Java).

  • Can I create a pdf with clickable links which open new pdfs?

    Hi,
    My client now wants me to create pdf with links to open new pdfs (in an offline mode). He wants to put all the content onto memory sticks to hand out at a conference.
    I have suggested the alternative of links which redirect to other pages within the same pdf, but if I could create one which open whole new pages or documents this would be really smart.
    Many thanks,
    Sam

    When you create the links, use "Go to a page view" type, as opposed to "Open a file". This allows you to create links that will open another PDF to a particular page and view (zoom and position).
