Cannot scan to PDF in Adobe Reader XI

IN adobe reader X there were many "Create" menu items, including Create PDF from Scanner -- now in Adobe Reader XI there is only Create PDF online and all the instructions as to how to scan give the directions for how it was done in Adobe X even tho the instructions SAY it is for Adobe XI
WTHeck -- so what happened?? why was this functionality removed?  (not just create to pdf by scan, but from webpage, other files, etc -- you have to do those online but you need a file, if you are scanning something there is no file to upload to be converted)

Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer; it never had the ability to create PDFs in any way, not by converting, not by scanning.
You must have used Acrobat previously.

  • Cannot save many pdfs with Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    I download lots of articles as pdfs for teaching, and ever since I updated Adobe Reader to version 10.0.1, I am having trouble saving copies of pdfs for many journals. I have to email myself a copy instead. Is this a problem with the journals not being updated somehow, or is it the Adobe Reader version?
    Thanks,
    Meghan

    Here is a URL that will not save in Reader X:
    http://samplepdf.com/sample.pdf?meaningless=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 7890/&blah=blah.pdf
    However, if the last slash is removed or encoded as %2f (which should not be necessary, as it appears in the query portion of the URL), there is no problem.

  • I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

  • Cannot print PDFs in Adobe Reader 11

    When I try to print a PDF using Adobe Reader 11, it says that it cannot print because no pages have been selected for print. Here's some more information:
    What I have done:
    printed a PDF through a web browser. This worked fine.
    saved that same PDF, reopened it in Adobe Reader, tried to print. It did not work.
    opened PDFs from emails and tried to print. That did not work.
    tried "Print As Image" as some forums have suggested, but I cannot because that option is greyed out.
    Computer history:
    my computer had a virus 2 weeks ago. Before the virus, everything printed fine. I'm guessing that perhaps I had a different version of Adobe Reader on my computer before then, and that the newly installed one (post-virus) is the problem. But, I'm not sure.
    Thanks for your help. This is so strange! If it makes a difference, I use a Brother HL-2270DW wireless printer.

    Hi Vikrantt,
    The printer is a Brother HL-2270DW. It says this at the end when I look at the details on the network device page:  [008092b6bcfa]. I'm not sure what type the driver is, but I do see that the driver version is 1.9.0. How can I figure out the type?
    Thanks,

  • How to create a non downloadable pdf in Adobe reader X?

    Hi,
    How can I create a non downloadble pdf in Adobe Reader X. Please help.

    Good day,
    To Bernd's point, you cannot stop someone from downloading your PDF (or any file for that matter) if you put them onto the Internet.  There are ways of limiting how long a file can be viewable for through some server side software options, but ultimately, to your original question, you cannot create PDF files with Adobe Reader.

  • How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

    Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

    You cannot buy 8 or 9.
    In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
    Important notes:
    1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
    2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
    Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

  • Can't open pdf with Adobe reader 11.0

    2009 24" iMac G5 OSX 10.8.2
    After downloading pdfs, even Apple's iPhone manual and saving it to my hard drive, I cannot reopen it. The Adobe Reader error message says that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I tried reinstalling 11.0 but to to no avail. The adobe site offered this link to their forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1781038
    Anybody with a similar problem. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this.
    Thx,
    Terriershep.

    It sounds like that you downloaded the PDF in Safari and tried to open it later. The fix is to delete the Adobe plugins from your Library's Internet-Plugins folder or to use another browser, not Safari, to download your PDFs.

    Acrobat has NEVER been free. Reader (formerly called "Acrobat Reader") has always been free, but the Creation/Editing software has always had a price tag.

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

  • Protected form cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader for IPhone

    Hi,
    I've created a pdf form in Acrobat XI and password protected it for editing.  I can fill in the form and save it in adobe reader, but it cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader in an IPhone.  Are there any security settings I can use to protect the form from being edited and still allow it to be completed in an IPhone?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi Satyadev,
    Thanks to Adobe and you for looking into this issue and responding.  While
    your team works on expanding functionality for protection, please let them
    know that expanding the javascript api in Mobile Reader would be wonderful
    as well.  I made a search box that looks up towns in a list of over 900
    towns to make it so users didn't have to scroll through such a large list.
    This function works in Adobe Reader but not Mobile Reader because the
    javascript api in Mobile Reader is very limited.
    Thanks again,
    Bob

  • How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

    I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
    Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.

    Adobe Reader does exactly what its name says: it reads PDF files, nothing more.

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • Why can't I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and email it with the saved information?

    When I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and "Save As" to desktop the filled out information goes blank when I attach it to an email. Additionally, I can't save to word or excel except for online. What can I do to fix this?

  • Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader  v8 does not print watermark

    In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
    I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
    If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mary Mendoza

    I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?
