Change in page extraction - Acrobat Pro XI

The means to extract pages has changed recently. It no longer appears under tools. Now it is located over the page thumbnails. Can you give me information on when this changed? Was there an automatide update that caused this? I am using another software that uses Acrobat extensively and it is having problems reading files I extract. Last week (Mar 9, 2015) it was working fine. This week (Mar 16, 2015) it is not. Any ideas?

Hi, Anubha,
Thank you for your reply. I will admit that I am a complete novice at this point.
I have pdf files of a parts manual. They include graphics and tables. I need to convert these files to Excel. I do this on a regular basis. Sometimes Acrobat works like clock work, but this file is proving to be an ugly exception.
I have not been able to get an acceptable result from Acrobat XI. I can understand it not being able to translate diagrams to Excel, but the tables are coming in as jibberish. For example, a list of part numbers will show up in one cell from one table and then be nicely one part number per cell on the next. Then sometimes part numbers show up in one column and then another on the next table. Table headers and various combinations of cells are merging across 2 or 3 cells. Sometimes the information shows up all in one column. And my personal favorite, information shows up as some sort of sanscrit from 400 BC.
Since I am converting manuals with 1200 pages, this is very annoying. I have also tried breaking up the files into smaller 50-100 page increments with no improvement.
This has led me to look to other software. The other software was working like a champ the first week, but then it started to fail this week. I had noticed that my Acrobat XI had changed the way I navigated to extract files and wondered if it had updated. My thought was that there was some sort of incompatability between the updated Acrobat and the other software. After much more investigation, the problem seems to lay in the other software.
I am getting quite desparate at this point. I still have 200 pages to do on this particular book and dread having to drop down to typing in tables by hand.
If you would be willing to work with me to try to get Acrobat to work, I would be appreciative.

How to change PDF document dimensions - Acrobat Pro 9

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to change the dimensions of my PDF in Acrobat Pro.
The original artwork was created in Illustrator and the final document is primarily for screen use (not print) so was created using pixels (600x665px to be precise). However when the artwork is created into a PDF, when viewed (and printed) in Acrobat, it is rather large and I want to make this smaller.
If anyone can advise on this it'd be much appreciated!
thanks
HS

You might play with the Touchup Object tool off the Advanced Editing toolbar.
Use the tool to select the image. Any of the four corners can be "grabbed" and a mouse drag will let you change the space occupied, on the PDF page, by the image. Not a "fine control" but, sometimes, all that's needed.
Or, in Preferences > Touchup category - the associated configuration pane permits selection of an installed image editor.
Now, using the Touchup Object tool's context menu, you can use the "Edit Image..." selection.
Edit the image and return it to the PDF.
Be well...

Having trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat Pro

I m using acrobat pro. I recently started having some trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat. When i am printing a regular (non-scanned) page, it works just fine. If i m printing a scanned page, the print is completely distorted. I don't even know how to describe this condition, so I don't really know how to google it.
If i remember correctly, I made some changes to the printing options. I can't exactly recall what was it, but it was something trivial (like printing all text to black or something)
So i have attached the print of a scanned document. It's just the print quality that's different.
Thanks for help.

Unable to delete or combine pages in Acrobat Pro 9

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 and want to delete a page and then add a page to an existing pdf document that was created in Adobe 9 Pro to begin with. I have tried using the "pages" tab to create thumbnails and then highlight the page I want to remove and select "edit > delete" and this option is greyed out. The menu option at the top: "document > delete pages" is also greyed out. Then I tried creating a new duplicate pdf from scratch using Live Cycle Designer to import the existing text into a fresh document and then delete the page and the same problem is coming up and that isn't fixing this issue. How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
thanks,
Robert

How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
Don't use LiveCycle Designer. Create your forms with Adobe Acrobat. Designer-created forms can't be modified in Acrobat.

How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

Batch Process crop page 2 - Acrobat Pro 9 crashes

Hi am trying to set up a Batch Sequence to crop 4 pages. (The crop for each page is different).
I can set up the first Command in the sequence to crop page 1 only. Then when I try to set up the next Command to crop page 2 Acrobat quits!
Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I type in a number in the first box of the page range the application quits. Good news though. If you have Acrobat 8 it appears to work okay. It also appears possible to copy the sequence from v8 and use it in v9. You just have to track down the "Sequences" folders for each version and copy the v8 sequence into the v9 folder. The folders are in the user Library folder, buried a few layers deep.
If v9 is all you have though, I think this workaround might do what you need. Since Acrobat doesn't remove any of the data when you crop and since you should be able to change the second number in the page range without the app quitting, you can try this:
• Have your first command crop pages 1-4 using the margins you want for page 4
• Have your second command crop pages 1-3 using the margins you want for page 3
• Have your third command crop pages 1-2 using the margins you want for page 2
• Have your fourth command crop pages 1-1 using the margins you want for page 1
That should leave each page with the correct crop. Just remember not to try changing the first number in the page range.

Is possible change the title with Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat Pro. 9, and i'm programing with C#.
My question is: Is possible change de title in a pdf?
I'm using this two metods and nothing the nothing, the title no change.
---- 1 form ------
PdfStamper pdfStamper = null;
pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, pdfOutputFile);
System.Collections.Hashtable info = new system.Collections.Hashtable();
info["«Title»"] = "";
pdfStamper.MoreInfo = info;
--- 2 form -------
Object ObjTitle = pdDoc.GetInfo("Title");
titulo = Convert.ToString(ObjTitle);
ObjTitle = "";
Regards,
Toni.

It is possible with the Acrobat SDK. You seem to be using iTextSharp, which is not an Adobe product, so you would probably get a faster response on forums that deal with iTextSharp.

White pages in Acrobat Pro

Coloured InDesign pages saved as PDF turn out to be white in Acrobat Pro? Only on MAC PRO OSX10.7.5. - Adobe CC

So does that mean you've tried them on other machines using Reader? If not, try it to see if they still look like that. Could be something to do with the way they wre created or exported from InDesign.

Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)

Is it possible to make a single form page, with several text fields, a few drop-down menus, that will duplicate itself into a new page when a button at the bottom of the page is pushed?
If this is possible, is it also possible to have any fields, drop downs, or buttons, change their name automatically as each new page is created so that there are no conflicts of having multiple form items with the same name?
For example; Page 1 has a button, "Date1", that when pressed, will insert the current date into field "DateField1". I press another button, a new page is created which is an exact duplicate of page 1 (with all fields blank) and now, on page 2, there is a button, "Date2", that will insert the current date in "DateField2".
If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thank you very much for any help you can proivide,
Nathan

Have you looked at the documentation for the template object and the spawn method. You set the 'rename' parameter to 'true' and the spawning method will rename the fields in the template to be prefixed with "P#.templateName." where "#" is the zero based page number of the spawned template and "templateName" is the name of template that was spawned.
A Lesson in Templates for Adobe Acrobat by Dave Wraight.
When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template.
Thanks, but I've already gotten past this point. The issue I am having now is getting the javascript for the button to automatically append the page prefix to itself so that the button works on that page, not the page it was duplicated from.

Change reading option in Acrobat pro 7 not accessable.

I'm trying to change the reading options in my acrobat document in Acrobat pr 7 for mac, but the "Change reading option" under Advance is not "clilckable".
What can I do?

You could try printing to a new PDF with the PDF printer, setting the page size to 8.5 x 11 and setting the page scaling option to 'Fit to Printable Area'. This will hopefully leave the existing 8.5 x 11 ones about the same size (it may shrink them slightly) and scale the other sizes.

Can i Chang PDF file using Acrobat Pro (CS5)?

Can i manipulate a PDF file - Delete elments, or delete elements with backgroung without changing the beckground?

It depends a lot on how the file was created. If it's a scan, for example, then your editing options are very limited.
In any case, I recommend you upgrade to the latest version (Acrobat XI), where the editing tools are much more powerful than in previous versions.

Prevent changes if opened in Acrobat PRO

Can I prevent a user from making changes to a pdf file if they try opening it in Acrobat professional?
Thanks!

Let's see you could sit behind them with a huge mallet...
On the serious side, there is password protection for which there are third party programs (some free and some commercial) that will remove password protection quite easily.
There is a digital rights management solution. This is a costly server based solution. Can you say, a minimum of 5 figures and per use charges.
I recommend that most people give up on preventing people from changing files, it is like trying to catch the wind. Just digitally sign the file, then if the file is changed there will be evidence of the change.

REDUCE FILE SIZE with Acrobat Pro

Hi everyone!
I created a epk for a rock band with Illustrator then I created one pdf that contains the all three pages with Acrobat Pro (I downloaded the trial because it was just for this occasion) This epk is a pdf file with 3 pages, some pictures and hyperlinks.
I need to send the epk to the band and they want a reduced size one. The original is 8.3 M but obviously it's too big to be sent via email.
I have been trying with the option SAVE AS - REDUCED SIZE PDF but it doesn't work! Still the same size.
I am new to acrobat so maybe I am missing something.
HELP!
Thanks

Hi michelab,
You can also try choosing Save As > Optimized PDF. There are various settings in that dialog box that you can manipulate to bring down the file size. Here's the Help topic on that dialog box, with information about the various settings:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html
Please let us know how it goes.

Change page size in Acrobat Pro 6.0

Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to change page sizes in Acrobat Pro 6.0 for Windows. We are receiving manuscripts which have been assembled from various documents. They're going to be printed at 8.5 x 11, but sometimes some of the pages are 7 x 10. Is there an automated way to change all the 7 x 10 pages to 8.5 x 11? We don't want to have to do each page individually because there are too many of them.
Many thanks,
Coral
