Can't edit PDF in Acrobat Pro 9

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed on two workstations. On one workstation we cannot edit a particular PDF. It gives an error first about missings a system font and won't allow edits. On the other workstations, we get the same error but CAN edit by going to Tools -> Advanced Editing -> Touch Up Text Tool. Both workstations are Windows 7. Is this a permissions issue? Thanks for any guidance.

If you want to edit text in a font that your system does not have, you will need to install the font in order to edit the text. Acrobat should tell you the name of the font that you are missing.
That should solve your problem, let me know if it doesn't.

How to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Pro without any compression

Hi,
I just edited an existing PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 - actually I inserted some high resolution images in TIFF via the Touchup tool.
What do I have to do to save it without any compression of the TIFFs - I tried a lot, but the outcome is always compressed, showing artifacts.
Thanks

First, editing PDFs is really only for minor fixups. There is generally no word wrap or such when doing such editing and often then seem to go downhill fast. To edit text, you have to have the font available. If the file was scanned and the OCR applied was searchable text, the only option to edit what is displayed is with a graphics editor, typically PhotoShop. PhotoShop allows Acrobat to have edited graphics and then be reinserted in the file (I don't do it, so can't give details). ClearScan replaces what is seen on screen in the graphic with the text. In that case, you see all of the text and the corresponding errors (often many). You may want to load a graphic (bitmap) with text showing or use a scan and try the various versions of OCR to see what I am talking about. That may help you see the options. Searchable PDFs is more useful if an original is critical, such as in the legal profession.

I was running a trial version of acrobat Pro then upgrade to a yearly subscription now I can't open pdf using acrobat pro?

I am redirected to a screen that says my trial has expired and sign up or register a software license.

I follow the prompts to sign in and a dialogue box shows stating my trail has expired and to buy the product. to sign in it takes me to a screen requiring a serial number be entered for an off-the-shelf box purchase. I have activated my subscription from the link i received via email and as a result downloaded creative cloud.

AdobeForms Central - Editing AdobeForms Central PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI, Electronic Signatures

I have an adobe forms central account, adobe acrobat pro installed on my mac. And I want to create an adobe forms central PDF form that I can edit in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and also create an electronic signature. How should I go about this?

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

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.

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.

Can I edit an Adobe Acrobat .pdf attachment in Mac Mail before I hit send?

I have numerous .pdf approval sheets that I attach to a client’s ad in order for each client to approve, sign and fax back to me. I have many different .pdfs made up with only different counties the client will advertise in already in the .pdf. Now the publisher wants the name of each client to appear on each sheet (I have 130 clients). Is there a way of editing the text (to add client name) in .pdf attachment before hitting send in Mac Mail? I don’t want to have to redo so many different .pdf approval sheets each time in order to keep changing just client’s name on the .pdf.
Thanks,
Mickie
Here’s what the body looks like:
Client ___________________________________________________
County PALM BEACH_______________________________________________

Can't edit PDF

I just signed in for adobe and I still can't edit PDF's

Sounds as if you took up a subscription to Acrobat XI.
That, by itself does not put Acrobat XI on your computer.
Yes -- you have to download and install Acrobat XI on a desktop or laptop or smaller (but "real" - e.g., ultrabook, netbook, MS Slate Pro 3, etc) computer.
No "devices" eh.
Once you have the actual application installed you can launch it for use.
Good to do -- Fetch the Help file and study it. Use the available Acrobat tutorials.
Acrobat is a "18-wheeler" so the gearng ain't your 3-speed bicycle shift.

How can i edit pdf files ?

how can i edit pdf files ?

What kind of "editing" operations do you have in mind?
You can add/delete/change annotations (such as Sticky Notes or Highlight/Strikeout/Underline text markups) or fill out forms in Adobe Reader. Some people (mistakenly) call it "editing". But, strictly speaking, it is not.
Because Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer, you are not able to edit the content of PDF documents. For example, you cannot
add/edit images or text
insert/delete/extract pages
convert PDF from/to other formats
You need a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat Pro or Standard, which is not a free product.

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

Editing Text in Acrobat Pro 9.

I have been trying to edit text in Acrobat Pro 9 using the touchup tool. Nothing happens when I try to type text or replace existing text. I have read that the system font must match the text in the PDF in order to change the text. According to the properties the text is curier a standard Windows font. Any suggestion?

Cannot edit PDFs with Acrobat 9.5.4

I have over the last year been receiving PDF files from a lawfirm in NY which have no security on them, yet I cannot edit them. All edit fuctions are greyed out. The solution thus far has been to edit them using PDF Converter Professional, but I would really like to know why I can't edit them in Acrobat. Under Advanced on the PDF it says PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 9.4.6, PDF Version 1.4. There is also something called Application which is PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2

This screen shot represents having printed to Adobe PDF Printer, which would not be uncommon. To my understanding PDF Printer writes postscript and calls up Distiller in the background, hence Producer > Acrobat Distiller - Application > PScript5.dll. They have Acrobat 9, not quite fully updated, hance 9.4.6. PDF Version 1.4 is common; I write with quality options set to press quality which produces the same.
Is your Security tab actually as shown?

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...
