Corrupted text when inserting another PDF file.

Hi all,
Currently using Acrobat Pro 11.0.10.
When inserting a page or multiple pages (all PDF) into an existing PDF file, the text becomes corrupted with the new pages.
I can edit the text and change it from Arial to another font and back to Arial to restore the text to how it should be, but when doing multiple files every day it becomes very time consuming.
Below is a shot of what is generated when compiling the files.
I'm really hoping that someone can help me as this is driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance,
Dean.

Hi Dean O'Neill and Karina Stavenes,
In order to replicate the issue in-house, we would be needing the files. Could you send the original files as well as the combined files so that we can investigate further? You could compress the files to a zip and upload it to the following link -> Acrobat Issues.
Also, sending in the exact steps to reproduce the issue would be helpful.
Thanks.

  • Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

    I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

    I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
    1.     I open an acrobat file.
    2.     I open a WORD file.
    3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
    4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
    5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
    I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
    Please help!
    Thank you

  • 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...

  • The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

    Hi There,
    I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
    Does anyone know about this problem?
    Thanks
    Kaveh

    Kaveh,
    I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat.  The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
    Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

  • How to insert a pdf file in an outgoing email

    Looking for assistance, on how do you insert a pdf file in an outgoing email on iphone5, I have adobe and dropbox I can open a pdf file and send it from their respective apps but when I create a new email or reply or forward I want to be able to go get the pdf file and attach it to the email. Have not been able to find how to do this.
    Regards,
    Frank

    Thanks for responding. For my work I have manuals, certifications or other regulatory docs that I have uploaded either to dropbox or adobe reader apps on my phone because I travel I find more often that I get request for these documents on an email chain and need to add a pdf to it. It seems I have to start a new email from the app the pdf is in as you stated. This defeats the purpose of responding or forwarding. very frustrating and not very professional. Is their an app out there that may help with this situation.

  • When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  How do I fix this?

    When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  What is wrong?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Hi,
    searched your post for keywords "JDeveloper" "ADF" "JSF" but could not find them. So are you sure you are posting to the right forum?
    If you have an issue with MS WOrd and PDF then Microsoft and Adobe are the ones to call for help. Jasper Reports also is not owned by Oracle, which is another area you want to investigate

  • When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
    Good Luck.

  • Importing a pdf file into another pdf file

    I have a fillable pdf file that I'm editing in Livecycle and wish to add the contents of another PDF file to the end of this one.   Can't figure out how to do this.
    Please help.

    The PDF I am trying to add was not originally created in Livecycle.   It was a Word doc that I just converted to PDF.
    The New Form Assistant lets me know that right off the bat when I open it.   And makes me select one of two options,   either Create an Interactive Form with Fixed Pages or Create an Interactive Form with a Flowable Layout.   I select the first option.  There's nothing that I need to make fillable in this.
    What?  You want me to post both files here on this board?

  • Mavericks 10.9.1. Freezes or trackpad becomes slow and unresponsive when viewing downloaded PDF files in Preview.Help!

    The earlier post was my first attempt at posting and had some typos. Repeated with typos corrected.
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013 with preinstalled Mavericks.I now have the 10.9.1 update. Almost from the time of purchase in Nov '13, I have been experiencing freezes and slow & unresponsive trackpad. I have more or less narrowed this symptom as happening when viewing downloaded PDF files. The only option is to force eject, if available or shut down. I spoke to Support as I thought it was a RAM issue and they told me that in Mavericks RAM showing almost full was normal as it uses RAM differently. They took me through some resets and cleaning up which has helped a little but freezing stll happens. This never happened with my Macbook AIr running Lion. Any suggestions?

    So a PDF file that you can view in Preview on your MBA causes your new MBP to lock up and/or slow down. Is this right? Also you say more or less narrowed down to PDFs with Preview but does the computer exhibit this behavior with other programs and if so under what conditions? And how much free hard drive space do you have?
    Viewing memory use in Mavericks is different than with previous versions of the OS. Today it looks like we need to pay attention to what Apple calls Memory Pressure which is gauged by the bar graph in Activity Monitor and to the Virtual Memory being used. When the memory pressure graph bar gets too high it turns red and that's bad news. Looking at how much memory is being used doesn't help - I have a 16GB computer and with almost nothing running it still shows something like 15.79GB used but the memory pressure graph is just a think green line. So unless you see the memory pressure bar turning red lets not worry about memory usage at the moment.
    If among the things AppleCare had you do was reinstall Mavericks then I recommend a trip to the Apple store - and take a problem PDF file with you to demonstrate.

  • When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?
