Combine problems Acrobat Pro 7.0

Computers are XP Pro SP3
Excel version 2003
Acrobat Professional 7.0
This is happening on at least two computers. Users have, in the past, been able to combine several Excel files into a PDF file for distribution. A folder may contain 100+ files, but the users have always been able to combine them in the past. This month, Acrobat will be going through the process and just stop. The computer doesn't hang up or display any errors. Acrobat just stops with an Excel file open.
One clue may be that all our computers were updated to the Reader 9.3 last month.
I have tried removing the Reader totally.
I have tried removing and reinstalling Acro Pro 7.0 and letting it update.
I have tried the same combine while logged on as an administrator.
Any other help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Bill. Yes, I did let AA7 update after installing. They first noticed the problem yesterday, but it was the first time they had tried to combine any files since the Reader 9.3 update. I can only assume the problem is related. I'll try another update and see if it does anything.
I appreciate the reply.

Serial Number Problems - Acrobat Pro 9

I recently asked Adobe's Online Support Centre to help me with my Serial Number on my Acrobat Pro 9. The disk has been loaded onto my old computers but I cannot deregister them because I have thrown them away. The online assistant fixed the problem for me so that I can use on my new computer, but after 2 weeks it has stopped working again. Any suggesstions??

Double-sided printing problem Acrobat Pro

I am trying to print pdf docs (downloaded from scientfic journals) and do right thing by manual doubled-sided printing i.e. print even pages first in reverse, turn paper over and then print odd pages.
When I first print even pages in reverse it prints second page twice and when I print odd pages it does not print last page.
I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
Windows XP Professional - Have lastest updates on Acrobat.
Thank you.

and what version are you using now?

Print problems Acrobat Pro V8.2.3

Since performing this most recent update, I have been unable to print any pdf files to any of my printers. Instead of getting the normal clean, crisp image I've been used to, I get a garbled blotchy mess of large black pixels that in a rough way present the original image. Text comes through okay, but always black: colors are lost in the translation. If I'm lucky I get grey.
No problem printing the same files using AcroReader 9.
I've worked through the preferences, print settings, etc. and I can't figure anything that could be causing this problem. Other than me executing the update recently. Yes, I dabbled with the "Black Point Compensation" toggle in the Color Management dialog (preferences), but that had no effect.
The Adobe printer works fine when generating pdfs from source documents, but when I attempt to "reprint" a pdf using this printer, I get the same garble, but only when using V8 Pro. The reader worx fine.
All I can figure is that Adobe included some switch/toggle in the recent update that has truly messed up the print function. Anybody else suffering this or know of a solution?
OS: WinXP Pro SP3

I found the answer in an earlier post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1171595#1171595 Wish it had been easier to find; search function proved inadequate.
In my case, I DO know -- or can guess -- how the check box in the print dialog was changed to "Print color as black." I bought a new MS ergo keyboard and I'm having a horrible time dealing with it. My old Lite-on SK-6000 keyboard was totally different (better) and appears to be irreplaceable. And I'm a "keyboarder." I eschew my trackball at ever opportunity. I'm certain I inadvertently hit "ALT-I" and toggled it on.
I'm guessing it would take a true graphic artist type to want to use that toggle: The output on my files is worse than what we process in sewage plants. Truly.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

Acrobat Pro 8 crashing when trying to combine multiple PDFs

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.6. I have a folder with 17 PDF files in it. I highlight them all, right-click and click "combine supported files in Acrobat..." The wizard comes up. I click "next" and then "create" and it starts combining but during the progress it will crash and give me a "debug" "send" or "dont send" error message. I try it again and it will crash on a different spot in the progress than the time before. This happens 9 out of 10 times but sometimes it will finish and I can save the file successfully. I am having this problem on multiple machines. I installed the trial version of Acrobat Pro 9.0 but it did the same thing. I uninstalled my anti-virus but the problem persists.
Below is what I get if I click "To see what data this error report contains, click here"
Error signature:
AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: acrobat.dll
ModVer: 8.1.6.21 Offset: 00354877
attached is the dump file it makes
Please help! Thanks

Problem with getting PDF Options after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0

Hello
I have some problems after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
In the past I worked with Acrobat Pro 7.0.8. Then when I choose the printer Adobe PDF 7.0 I had always a pulldown menu in the Printer Settings. to decided what kind of PDF I want (Best Quality, PDF/1, PDF/3, Low Quality, etc)
After Intallion Acrobat Pro 8.0, I had both Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 availible in the Printer Menu, but either the PDF Options is not availible for both (in some programs) or for both it is visible as "AdobePDFPDE70" but it has a line through it and I cann't select it.
Then I delete Adobe 7.0 & 8.0 from the folder "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/" and started Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 again. It recognised that an Adobe PDF need to be installed but again it is not availible or AdobePDFPDE70 has a line through.
I have still installed Adobe Pro 7.08 on my MacBook Pro because their is no PitStop Professional availible for Adobe Acrobat 8.0
Who can help me to make my PDF Options Availible. I also looked at the Adobe Site for a Solutions but I found only 4 Threads for Acrobat 8 in combination with OS X and it was regarding other problems.
I work with German OS X and german Versions of Acrobat and PitStop
Regards
Gerard
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello
I solved the problem. The files "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" conflict each other.
I solved it in the following way
- quit Adobe Acrobat
- delete Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 From the Printer Manager
- remove the file "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" from /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/
- restart Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 and activate its self repair function from within the Help menu
- quit Acrobat and re-boot your Mac
- a Printer & "Adobe PDF 8.0" will be availible. Now the PDF Options are availible in all the Programs I working with!
I experienced that the Acrobat Pro 7.08 is very unstabil after the Installation of 8.0, let's hope that PitStop will bring very soon a new Version compatible with Acrobat 8.0

Acrobat Pro X reloaded and cannot combine files

I had to reload Acrobat Pro X - now I cannot add single page PDFs to multi-page PDFs or combine PDFs

The program "spins" and finally says "Program not responding", so I close it! Problem solved though and I did it myself! I realoded the program, then went back in and updated it and addded LiveCycle, etc. All is well and thanks so much for your response. That tooks me 3 days to figure out. I think Adobe needs to be a "fail-safe" when you download Acrobat Pro XI so that it doesn't delete your previous version. I had to get permission from our IT department to reinstall etc.
Thanks again!

Acrobat Pro X font problems.....

Any ideas why?

Thanks so much for your response. I actually tried this first and had the same results. Since I posted this, I was able to find a solution. There is a problem with IE9. After downloading Google Chrome and following the download instructions, everything worked fine. Hope this helps others.

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem
(Production.0) (154) (whole units) . (Production.1) (90) (fractional) / (divided by) 31 (days) results in (Average.0) (4)(whole units) . (Average.1) (10) (fractional) using :Math.round.� Noticed that 154 (whole units) . 85 through 99 (fractional) also show 4.10. (without Math.round : 5.00)
Method:
�Production.0� (whole units) . �Production .1� (fractional) / Days = (Average Daily Production) (�Average.0� (whole units) . (Average.1) (fractional)
� Production.0 (value not calculated)�, � Production 1 (calculated) (event.value = util.printx("0099", (event.value)).substr(-2,2); � �Average.0 (value not calculate)�, and �Average.1 has following calculation:
var punits = this.getField("Production.0");
var pfrac = this.getField("Production.1");
var average = 0.0;
average = (punits.value + pfrac.value / 100) / this.getField("Days").value;
this.getField("Average.0").value = average - average % 1;
this.getField("Average.1").value = util.printx("0099", Math.round((average % 1 * 100))).substr(-2,2);
�Math.round� appears to be a problem. Also, could you explain the purpose of �0099� . Anyway, why would 154.85 through 154.90 divided by 31 give 4,10. Also, their must be a better way, to find the average daily production. All you have to do is divided the production (whole. fractional) by the days, and display the average daily production as (whole. fractional). Any suggestions??

There are a many loose ends in your question.
First, I have never seen before a variable type called 'var'. Is it a java primitive or a class?
Next, I cannot seem to find any class that has the printx method.
When it comes to substr(-2,2), I get confused. First, I thought that it was a method of the String class, but I only got as far as substring(beginIndex, endIndex).
If you really must break the production and average into pieces, try this:
float average = (punits + pfrac/100) / days;
int avg_units = (int)average;
int avg_frac = (int)( (average - avg_units) * 100 );My guess is that util.printx("0099", x) formats x having two optional digits and two mandatory digits, showing 0-99 as 00-99, but allows to show numbers with three and four digits.
154.85/31 = 4,9951612903225806451612903225806
154.99/31= 4,9996774193548387096774193548387
If you round the fraction of theese numbers multiplied by 100 ( = 99.51.. and 99.968...) you get 100, and this will be the output of printx. My guess for "4.10" is that substr(-2,2) returns the two first characters of the string, because the start index should not be zero. (According to java docs, substring throws an exception on a negative index, so what kind of class are you really using ??????)

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.

Printing problem with Acrobat Pro 10.1

I get an "Insufficient memory" message on my LaserJet printer when trying to print certain PDFs using Acrobat Pro 10.1, but the PDFs are printed without any problem from Acrobat Pro 9 or Preview. Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks for responding I was using an MS Excel spreadsheet to merge details to produce labels in a programme called NiceLabel Pro. The information from the spreadsheet was very simple - a readable code number and a QR code. In the Nice Label document setup you nominate the printer - in my case this was the Adobe PDF printer - to produce a Press Ready quality PDF file. I tried several times to print this file and each time ended up with page 1. As the job was urgent and I had a deadline to meet, I ended up installing a programme called Nitro - which also produces PDF - to complete the job, without a problem. However, I would prefer to stick with my Adobe Acrobat software as the other alternative is limited in its pre-press options. Hope this information will enable a solution to the problem.
- Thanks, Lynne
Hi again Dov - have you been able to come up with an answer to my Acrobat problem. Would like to begin 2015 with workable Acrobat.
Many thanks - Lynne

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
