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.

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

Xerox 7830 fails to obey "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro -- Adobe issue or Xerox issue? Workaround?

Our former office printer (Xerox 7345) had no problem with this. But the new Xerox 7830 fails to obey the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro. Even the "Page Setup" is overridden by the Xerox printer driver. It is extremely annoying to have to go into the Xerox driver dialog every time, regardless of that check in the box and the correct dimensions being displayed in the picture.....

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.

Acrobat could not access the recognition service

I am getting the following error message when attempting to use the OCR function in Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3
Acrobat could not access the recognition service:
Unable to locate the Paper Capture recognition Service. Your installation may be corrupt.
This is probably due to either a low memory situation or an corrupt installation. If the problem is not cleared up by shutting down other applications and/or rebooting, then please re-install Acrobat.
It is certainly not a 'low memory situation'. It is not a 'corrupt user profile'. It was not fixed by uninstalling and re-installing.
Help...

Just to be sure, you are trying to use the OCR that is part of AA8 and not the OCR service that is an online service? I think the latter was setup for use with AA8 Std. What menus and selections are you making to get OCR?

Acrobat could not access the recognition service when OCRing

I am getting the error message "Acrobat could not access the recognition service because unable to locate the paper capture recognition service." I get this message when trying to OCR documents. I tried the fix for Acrobat 8 where you copy the drsd832.dll file and this still didn't work. I also tried turning the security (enhanced) settings to 'off' which also didn't work. I was wondering if any of you have encountered a similar problem and have found a solution. I am getting this problem in a networked corporate environment on multiple computers. It is also happening to files on the network rather than files on the local computers.

Flattening annotations (comments) changes highlight color in Acrobat, but not Reader

I have a pdf document with multiple comments consisting of sentences highlighted with different colors. The colors are the default, bright colors in the default commenting "Highlighter Tool Properties" palette. When I flatten with either Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 or X (Tools - Print Production - Preflight - flatten annotations and form fields) the colors of the highlights change from the normal 'bright' colors to dull 'pantone'-like colors. Interestingly, if I view the flattened file with Reader, the colors are fine (back to the bright colors), but when viewing with Acrobat Pro they are the dull pantone colors. It is as if there is a 'flag' in the file telling Acrobat (but not Reader) to change the displayed highlight colors.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5
Does anyone know how I might change this so that the highlight colors do not change when flattening?
Thanks

Well, I was able to answer my own question. You have to go into "Flattener Preview" and change "Color Space" from the default "none" to something else, in my case, "Device RGB". Also, make sure to set page range.

PDFs open with reader instead of Acrobat Pro

OS: WinXP
A/Reader version: 9.3.4
A/Acrobat Pro version: 7
Issue:
PDFs open in the Reader and not in Acrobat Pro. I changed the File Association to open them with Acrobat Pro and it works fine for the rest of the day, but when I log in the next day it reverts back to opening in A/Reader again. This is an issue because of the way we have to access the PDFs at work, from within IE on a server.
Someone at work thought there might be a registry hack needed to fix this. I have looked at the registry entries for Reader and Pro, but there's nothing obvious to me.
One other thing that I have not tried as yet is to log in as Administrator and select (tick) the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option. Maybe it might seem obvious that this is what's needed, but it was working fine prior to last week. The tick is greyed out when logged in as a 'normal' user, but the tick is on too.
I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry. :-)
Many thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.

Downloading a free Reader without disrupting Acrobat Pro

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro which i LOVE and use daily.. However, one website i also use everyday requires Adobe Reader plug in to operate correctly. When i downloaded this free Reader a year ago or so, it completely took over and disabled by Acrobat Pro, requiring a long process over the phone to get rid of the Reader and re-install my Pro.. has anything changed so that i can download the free Reader plug-in without it touching my Acrobat Pro?

It is not a public site. One needs to be registered in a particular project to download their pdf, complete the required information and reupload it.. I did not mention that this only happens from my MAC.. i can operate the system just fine on a PC. however, teh PC is old and i use it for nothing else but to access this site.. i would rather be using my MAC.. i cannot tell you what they have done ... but this was the "workaround" they developed for MAC users.. i will try it again, will you be willing to give me your phone number to call in case the same thing happens this time i try to download Reader and it disrupts my Acrobat Pro??????

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...

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.

Adobe Reader vs Adobe Acrobat Pro

I was able to make and compile PDF docs in the Adobe Acrobat
Pro. Today, every time I click on the Pro, the Reader opens where I
have no editing ability. I'm simply trying to create a flyer, like
I always had, where I combined several PDF docs into one and
organized the pages. Every shortcut for Pro is opening as the
Reader. What gives? This is sucking up my time and I'm getting
frustrated. Did I do something wrong? I'm simply saving a Word doc
as a PDF and then opening that PDF in Pro.

Hello sanitra,
See if you can open Acrobat Pro manually, then within Acrobat
using file:open (or some opening variation), choosing the Word/PDF
doc you want to open up, from within Acrobat pro.
If all double-clicks of pdfs are opening up in Reader, and
you do not wish for it to do so, you will want to change the
application association for .pdf files to reflect Acrobat Pro,
instead of the Reader application.
Perhaps the Reader got set as the default application upon
install.
Alternatively, this question would best be asked in the
Acrobat Forums.

Thanks!

Uninstall/Reinstall of Acrobat Pro not working

Acrobat Pro was malfunctioning. Every time I tried to search the file, it would crash. So I uninstalled it then tried to reinstall it, but Adobe Manager says it's up to date. I can't download and can't reinstall.

Sunday I uninstalled the program (I’m on the cloud) but couldn’t reinstall it. The launchpad said it was up to date, even though it was not on my system. So I downloaded and installed the 30-day trial version.
I had the exact same issues with the trial, so my technician figured it must be the preferences. He threw out all the old ones and the program worked flawlessly for 30 minutes. Then it would crash when I changed views by clicking and dragging. And about 15 minutes after that, it started crashing again when I tried to search. It also reverts to old preferences in the tools.
That may help you figure something out. I’m going to start over with troubleshooting again today.

Acrobat Pro Not Working after Latest Update to Snow Leopard

After getting the latest update for Snow Leopard I get the following when Acrobat tries to boot:
Process:         AdobeAcrobat [157]

There is more after this but the summary is that it doesn't boot. Is anyone having this problem also? And if so how did you fix it.? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat but with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. However how can you upgrade when the program won't boot? I tried downloading again from Adobe but the version that comes over is 9.0. Is there anyway to force a load? Or anyway for Adobe to push me 9.3.1?
Regards,
David
First try removing preference and or .plist files for Acrobat. Then when you get working try this tip below that might help when you update the application and it fails.
I've come across this in these forums That may or may not solve the update issue for "some" people:

NVDA and JAWS won't read doc in Acrobat Pro and Free Reader correctly!

I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to create 508-compliant, accessible PDFs.
I first created the doc in Word, and, using the Acrobat tab, created a PDF for accessibility purposes, and it prompted me to save it as a PDF. I entered the name and saved, and it automatically opened the PDF version of the doc in Acrobat Pro with the "Make Accessible" tool bar open on the right-hand side.
I went through the reading order and tagged and organized everything to be in the correct order, and then I filled in the Alt Tags for images/figures. Then I had the system perform an accessibility check. It told me the tags would need to be checked manually, as do the colors, and the title was missing. (I had entered the title and source info, etc. into the document's properties, in accordance with an Adobe Acrobat article I'd read on creating accessible docs. I don't know why the title wasn't being noted.)
I tested the doc's accessibility with the Adobe built-in reader, and it worked perfectly- everything was read in the correct order in which I'd tagged it- including the alt tags!
When I tried opening the doc in the free Adobe Reader, however, it wasn't read at all. I then opened my screen readers (one at a time)- JAWS and NVDA- and neither one would read the document, unless I clicked the cursor on a particular part of the text, etc. I need this to read the document- in its entirety- automatically!
Please help!!

Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner. Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

Hi!
Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
TY in advance / Nkla

Nikola,
Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.
