Character split in Acrobat

We are using InDesign CS4 for composition and Distiller version 9 is being used to created PS through PDF.
Now the hi-res PDF are looking great when we create from InDesign CS4 whereas the issue occurs in low-res PDF while downsized from hi-res to low-res pdf it is the requirement to deliver.
We were downsized the PDF by using the option "Reduce File Size" which is available in Acrobat 9. This is where the problem created in the Low-Res PDF we do not find any issue in Hi-Res PDF which originally created through Distiller 9.
Also note that the issue occurred only in Acrobat version 9 whereas we don't find any issue in lower version such as Acrobat 7 & 8. I have attached screenshot for your view and share the final solution. Kindly let me know is there any option to downsize the PDF?
Any help is much appreciated.
JA

First, it is better to create pdfs from ID directly rather than printing to pdf. Second, rather than downsize your pdf, why not create the pdf according to the specs you want. That is always the better way to go.
In terms of what is causing the problem, that would probably depend upon the pdf optimizer settings. I'd suggest removing all font subsets and then re-embedding the entire font once in the document using preflight.

How do I split, in Acrobat 7.0?

Hello
Can someone please point me to a plug-in or an add-on, that would split a file, set to a criteria That I would set up? I have a large file, about 1000 pages long, In the file it has important information, that is sent out to different clients. I would like to split this based off of a criteria I set up, instead of saying "every 3 pages", I would like to say "every time this field comes up, split the page," or "every blank page, split the page" and so on.
Price is not an issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Since this is a USER TO USER forum, not Adobe support, and as the
only way another user could reply is if they had that EXACT need
and also had a solution, you may need to do something like Google
to search for the terms you need to find... like...
Acrobat 7 add-in split document
or
Acrobat 7 plugin split document

What character splits search terms (for different search result tabs), searching from the search box.

When we type in a search term, in the search box, the results can be shown in a tab. But how can you split search terms while entering them all at once, each search term providing results in a new tab.
"Search Term|Search Term Two", using |;\ etc only sends the term in entirety beyond. What does this box handle and how to make it open two tabs when given two separated search terms.
So what is this special character or setting?
Thank You

Thank u so Bruce , I finally found an answer to my question.
The solution u provided looks complete except that i am confused by the meaning of strField , may i didnt provide more details in my post .
The strField var i provided earlier was not meant to be placed in my code , the correct one is shown below .However , the strField means according to me is the field against which the search operation should take place based on the ( search Term )
the user provided .
Here is the code after applying the solution u suggested :
'Information collected from the user
strWhereToSearch = IIf(.framSearchIn.Value = 1, "[quknotSubject]", "[quknotBody] ")
strCondition = strWhereToSearch & " Like '* " & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _
strWhereToSearch & " Like '" & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _
strWhereToSearch & "Like '* " & strTextSearch & "'"
'Fill result search Recordset
strSql = " Select * from qryExtraTool_QuickNoteSubCatMainCat   "
strSql = strSql & " WHERE   " & strCondition & " ORDER BY quknotDate"
'Control Source for the text box to display matches. ( Highlight the search word )
txtQuickNoteBody = SearchHilight(strWhereToSearch, strTextSearch)
Tell me if my implementation to your code is right ?
Thank u again Bruce ...

File Character Limit with Acrobat 9 Pro File Naming

I'm experienceing an issue that I'm sure was not there with previous versions of Acrobat. When printing a Word file with a long name to Acrobat (File->Print -> Adobe PDF) the original file name is being shortened and the end replaces by a series of "..."s.
If I print a document named
"The_Quick_Brown_Fox_Jumps_Over_The_Lazy_Dog_Sleeping_Under_The_Shadey_Tree.doc"
it will be converted to Acrobat as
"The_Quick_Brown_Fox_Jumps_Over_The_Lazy_Dog_Sleeping_Under….pdf"
The original file's name is only 74 characters. I thought that Acrobat could create file names with up to 255 characters?
Is there a setting I can modify to have Acrobat keep the original file's long name?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro (part of the CS5 Suite) with Vista64.
Thanks.
Russell

Solved: It appears to be a Microsoft Word issue as it doesn't occur with other apps. When using the built-in 'convert to PDF' tool within Word the file name length is respected. It's an older version of Word (Word 2002 SP3). I printed a file using the same name length with Wordperfect and it works fine.
I know this isn't a Word help forum, but if anyone does have a solution to offer it would be appreciated :-)

Acrobat 7 Standard making strange character substitutions

Yes, we're still using Acrobat 7.
Acrobat has always been unable to handle some fonts (particularly decorative fonts such as cursive fonts) but until recently it has handled most common fonts reasonably well.
Today I created a document in MS Word and created a pdf file from it by using the "Adobe PDF" printer driver selection -- as usual.
And, of course, Acrobat created the PDF file, as it always has....
BUT today Acrobat is changing some of the characters within one font.
Acrobat is changing ordinary zero characters to a slashed zero character (which doesn't even exist in this font)
Acrobat is changing ordinary apostrophe characters into some strange large capital O with a tilde over it. Interestingly enough, Acrobat is inserting this enormous character but only leaving the amount of space normally occupied by the regular apostrophe, so that the s after the apostrophe is coming out inside the middle of the O character.
And Acrobat is changing the degree symbol character to a 1/4 fraction character.
Interestingly enough Acrobat makes these substitutions only in one specific font within the document. Parts of the text that are in a different font or even in the same font but in BOLD are not having the problem.
The font where Acrobat makes these strange substitutions is Windows' own Arial font -- specifically 11 point Arial regular -- it doesn't make these strange substitutions in text written in 11 point Arial Bold or in Times New Roman

This is an issue with fonts not being embedded in a PDF and with 4 fonts that are listed by Acrobat. I have the link to the knowledge base on another computer, but you can search for it. The solution is to remove 4 fonts as I recall. Then the font substitution works correctly. The problem is finding the problem fonts in the knowledge base.

Reading a String Literally - Finding the "\" Character with a Regex

How do I search for "\" characters in a string? Such as..
String text = "Temp\temp.txt";
The problem is that Java will read "\t" as a tab, so that
System.out.println(text);
Will return
Temp emp.txt
Also, searching for the regex "\\\\" will return a null result, presumably because Java interprets the "\t" as a tab character, not as a literal "\" followed by a literal "t".
How do I get Java to read the string without interpreting it?
Thanks in advance

Try also this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
          String test1 = "String with a\\t which is not a tab but a t preceeded with a \\ character";
          String test2 = "String with a \t which is a tab";
          System.out.println("This are the Strings as user sees / enters them:");
          System.out.println(test1);
          System.out.println(test2);
          System.out.println("");
          System.out.println("***********************************************************");
          System.out.println("");
          System.out
                    .println("Splitting first string using a \\\\\\\\ regex which will be interpreted by the regex engine as \\\\ which will represent a \'\\\' character:");
          System.out.println("");
          for (String s : test1.split("\\\\")) {
               System.out.println(s);
          System.out.println("");
          System.out.println("***********************************************************");
          System.out.println("");
          System.out.println("Splitting the second string just the same way:");
          System.out.println("");
          for (String s : test2.split("\\\\")) {
               System.out.println(s);
     }and read the console output.
It should be:
This are the Strings as user sees / enters them:
String with a\t which is not a tab but a t preceeded with a \ character
String with a       which is a tab
Splitting first string using a \\\\ regex which will be interpreted by the regex engine as \\ which will represent a '\' character:
String with a
t which is not a tab but a t preceeded with a
character
Splitting the second string just the same way:
String with a       which is a tab

Issues in Reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1

The text has been merged or split on Acrobat 9.3.1 Pro by using the option "Reduce File Size" or "PDF Optimizer". There is no issue in the earlier version of Acrobat (7.0 & 8.0). We are using the Mac OS between 10.4.11 to 10.6.2. I have attached screenshots for your reference; please look at the Word "Issues" has been split after reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1. Is there any other way to do Hi-Res PDF to Low-Res PDF without any issue? Kindly help me out to sustain the best process in future.

I found a similar problem with text styled for small caps. It was fine in the original PDF, but became lowercase in the reduced file. The reduction process probably throws away characters from fonts that Acrobat decides are unnecessary.
I was able to partially solve the problem by combining multiple PDFs (book chapters) and selecting the smallest file size icon at the bottom of the page. Alternately, I chose a web-quality preset, which also worked. The file size might not be quite as small, but the files were good.

Thousands of errors with acrobat pdf ocr conversion to Word 2013

I am trying to convert an imaged pdf to word 2013 for text editing and spell check purposes. Acrobat Xl pro conversion can render a perfect copy in Word without OCR but, of course the text is uneditable and unreadable by Word's spell checker, but with OCR switched on during the conversion, thousands of errors are introduced which defeats my whole purpose in converting, which is to proof the document via word. Is there any way to improve the Character recognition with acrobat or is it hopeless? Thanks

Text Message incomplete or missing? Also-SMS editing / backspace malfunction...

First issue - sometimes I received text messages that are missing the last few words/characters. I don't think this is an Android or iPhone originated issue as this happens at random from people that I know have different types of phones. Sometimes the 160 character split will break up the message and send the rest in another message, but most of the time I never see the end of the message. I currently use the existing text messaging app in conjunction with the SMS pop-up. The issue was prevalent when I used Handcent and then uninstalled it to see if that was the problem. I have also uninstalled SMS pop-up to see if it was the problem with no luck. I have looked over the settings multiple times and still cannot find anything that would be causing this. Suggestions are welcome.
Second issue - when editing a text message in portrait mode I may erase multiple characters by holding down the backspace key. On occasion, the app flips out, reverts to showing the very first message that was sent or received for the contact, freezes momentarily, and then two buttons appear on the bottom giving me the option to Cancel or Delete. I will hit Cancel or use the back button on the bottom of the phone multiple times before it will return to my message, which at this point has saved as a draft. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. It does it only at random, but it seems to be getting more frequent. The only option most of the time is to go Home and then return to text messages, find my draft, and use the backspace key carefully (and one quick push at a time to erase) so as not to invoke the same issue.
I think both of these are bugs that may be inherent with this phone in particular or possibly Gingerbread...
Thanks!

I've been having this same issue for the past few months, in my case the problem seems to be more prevalent with text messages originating from other carriers (but not always, occasional partial incoming text issues from Verizon wireless phones as well). I called technical support, followed all their advice (basic tech advice, power cycle, remove sim, reboot, etc.) and was also transferred to HTC support that recommended a hot fix, which didn't really do anything to resolve the issue, also then did a factory reset and still no resolution. Not sure what other options I have....besides waiting for a new device when I am able to upgrade. Off topic, I think its Bee S to not be able to upgrade to a new device within 2 years, when Verizon does not fully support, properly updated/hotfix, existing issues in a timely manner...why is it that we are using and outdated OS, when a new one is out and available. Another compelling argument to purchase an iPhone (on any carrier), one device, one OS.....everyone gets an update at the same time, and phone issues are rapidly resolved. I can continue my rant, but I'll leave it as is...same issues, different day and I'm sure you've all heard the same rants of frustration.

How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?

This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
Here is the actual problem:
I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
Any other application use is not material.
Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
(Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.
With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
Back in the PDF --
You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
If you got it right, good. Continue.
If not, darn - try again.
Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
So, "doable" but not practicable.
This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.)
Be well...

How do I extract each page from a long document and email to separate adresses?

So here's my current situation. I have about a 200 page long PDF document. Each page has an individual customer number on it. Currently, I print out the 200 pg doc and email each one separately to the corresponding customer in numerical order.
First of all, is there a way that I can extract the 200 pg document into 200 individual documents with one page each? Second, is there an efficient way to mass email the 200 customers with their corresponding document only, without seeing the other 199 documents?

How can I delete a name in the address of a text message?

How can I delete a name in the address of a texas message? The letter W appears as an addressee in error. The text message was not sent. The other addressess in the message was correct.

if there are going to be a lot of dash characters you could read the string character by character, compare the value of the character with the range of values for a letter in ascii, and not copy it to a new string if it doesn't match. If the odd character out is only going to be a dash, you can search the string for the character, split the string at this point, append it to a string buffer and keep doing this till you're done. Just suggestions :)

Multiple Movie symbols into one sprite sheet

I have my character split into different symbols. Arms, Head, Body and so on. Each symbol (movie clip) has its own timeline of animation. How do I get all of my symbols into one clip without losing animation? I've tried selecting all of the symbols and and creating a new movie clip out of all of them together but when I try to covert to sprite sheet, it is just my entire character with no other sequences of movement on the sprite sheet.
Thank you in advance

There are a couple of things you could try depending on what exactly you need.
1. Assuming your character has all the different body parts as separate symbols with their own animations within.
     a. Select all the body-part symbols in Library or on Stage, right-click and select 'Generate Sprite Sheet..'
     b. Check the sprite sheet preview - each of the selected symbols are packed one after the other.
2. If you have one Movieclip containing all the body part symbols and you wish to export the animation as it is ==>
     a. Double click on the main movieclip to get inside it.
     b. Select all the body part symbols on stage and change their instance type to Graphic in the Properties panel.
     c. Increase the frames in the main movieclip's timeline (press F5) to cover the entire animation of its children.
     d. Now generate the sprite-sheet for main movieclip from library or stage and check the preview.
