Ctrl-B when editing bookmarks loses change in Acrobat 9 Pro

In previous versions of Acrobat Professional, if I needed to add multiple bookmarks to the same page I would type in my text and hit Ctrl-B to start a new one. This saved whatever I had typed. With Acrobat 9 Pro, doing this loses whatever changes I had made to the current bookmark. I have to hit enter for the changes to be used. I know, it's just one additional keystroke, but one's fingers get programmed over the years.
Does anyone know if this change was done on purpose?

The reason every other page must be blank is because the files are start-up reports for climate control units, that the technician has to fill in. We print it as a book and as every other page is blank, only the right hand pages are printed. Then the technician can have the report on a hard board and easily fill in/go to the next page. I have done this exactly the same way since Acrobat 5, and I have done it this way for so long time now that I am afraid I will forget to turn it on again one I have turned it off...
The reason why I don't make the document with blank pages from the beginning is that the report must be in 2 versions; one with the empty pages for us to print when a customer buys a unit, and one without that we have on our web-site, for the customers to download. Also, I have about 1.000 of these reports so adding a lot of blank pages in FrameMaker (where I make them) is a time-consuming job. Better to add the pages after I have produced the pdf, then I don't need double FM-files (and don't need to change in 2 documents when I have to change something).
Clerarer now?

  • When I open pdf with my Acrobat Pro 8, it takes a while, then says not responding

    When I open a pdf with Acrobat Pro 8 it takes a while, then says "not responding" then grays the page out, then finally opens.  The same thing happens if I use Acrobat 10.  It doesn't happen with anything else.  Any ideas, please?

    Do you have Acrobat 8 and X on the same machine? Do you have Reader on the same machine as well? If so which version? How much RAM? How much free hard drive space? What OS? What happens if you turn off your virus protection does things speed up?

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 crashes when editing bookmarks

    Working in Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 on a Mac, system 10.6.4. Have been combining pdf files using the "Combine Files" feature in Acrobat. I need to edit bookmarks (assign & remove), as well as crop and delete some pages in the files I'm working on. The program continually crashes when I delete bookmarks, and occasionally when I add them. I have to try up to 4 or 5 times before I can successfully delete the bookmarks I need to and move on. It will eventually work, but takes a lot more effort than it should. I'm not sure if I should toss some preferences, or even which ones to toss, or if there are any other helpful options out there for me. Thoughts?

    Mine is doing the same.  Ever since the 9.3.4 update my Mac Adobe Acrobat Pro will crash (beachball) whenever editing, such as adding bookmarks, or scrolling down the pages of file.  Have tried multiple times to contact Adobe, but with no luck, and no call back or response.  Considering moving to a different PDF platform if I cannot obtain technical help through Adobe. 

  • When trying to edit text and fonts in Acrobat Pro 11 I keep getting a message saying acrobat has encountered an unknown error?

    I have just downloaded Acrobat Pro V 11.0.0 and tried to edit an existing PDF file. When I try to do this I receive a message that Acrobat has encountered an unknown error - what am I doing wrong?.

    Hi myarwema,
    Are you using Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows (and what version?). You say you have version 11.0.0, but the current version is 11.0.10, so please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates for starters.
    Does the error occur regardless of the PDF that you try to edit? If the problem is widespread, I would recommend a repair/reinstall of Acrobat (if installing the updates doesn't help). If the problem occurs with just the one document, that PDF could be damaged.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Clicking "Edit PDF form" stops Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 from working. [FIXED]

    As the title says, whenever I click "Edit PDF form" in Acrobat Pro 11, it displays the message "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then when I click OK it closes.
    It is a fresh install.  I tried reinstalling, by removing it first, i tried a repair, I also tried using Revo Uninstaller to clean up anything that was left after an uninstall, and still no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    It is running on Windows 8.1 Update (x64), and the version number for Acrobat Pro is 11.0.10.
    Thanks!
    **Update**
    While I was writing this I had an epiphany, so I checked the Windows application logs which logged the following error every time Acrobat crashed...
    Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af
    Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.4121, time stamp: 0x5474d740
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    which lists nvd3dum.dll as the culprit.  This has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card or drivers (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600)
    So after a little research I discovered a little registry tweak which "specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds." (Quoted from MSDN)
    So I added the REG_DWORD value TdrDelay to the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, and changed the value to 8.  After rebooting this seemed to have solved the issue I was having.
    Here's a screenshot...
    Hope this helps someone!

    We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them.  Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat.  Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!!  From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
    The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
    Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
    Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
    Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
    The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
    After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade.  We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products.  We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $.  Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back!  They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!

  • Problem editing 2 PDF files simultaneously - Acrobat Pro 9

    We have an unusual problem here: Our authors are using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on their Windows XP systems.
    When they open 1 PDF file (Window #1), the text creating/editing function works great.
    When they open another PDF file (Window #2) and create/edit text, this works as well.
    But when they try to go back to the 1st PDF file (Window #1) and edit the text, the text editing toolbar is grayed out and cannot be selected.
    However, when they do select the text in Window #1, the text editing toolbar in Window #2 is "activated" (even though this window is not the active/selected window).
    When you try to change the text attributes in Window #1 using the toolbar in Window #2, it deselects/deactivates Window #1 and activates Window #2, thereby rendering the text edit toolbar functional for only Window #2.
    This does not get fixed unless you close both files and Acrobat and reopen only 1 file at a time.
    I have tried to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 but this did not correct the problem.
    Any ideas?

    It does not matter which ones I am using. As long as any two are opened together it does this.

  • Advanced editing tool not working in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    I created a fillable form in Live Cycle ES 8.2 and the recipient wants to add a hyperlink to a website in one of the text field areas of the form but it won't work.
    I tried to do it for him in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I go to the Advanced Editing tool it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to get the advanced editing tool to work or why it may be disabled?

    Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

  • How do I edit/convert a pdf using Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to convert/edit(not sure of the proper term to relay my dilemna; my experience with Acrobat Pro and pdf's is limited.) a pdf file.  I want to use edit some of the content on the document.  I am aware of the "typewriter" tool and have used this in completing pdf documents fo "fill in" the blanks (ex: completing an application); however, this will not work when I try to edit the actual content.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Keep in mind you HAVE to use very "simple" language when explaining to me how I do this, ha!
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Maybe you need to remove your PDF security so then you can edit it. Adobe Acrobat cannot edit the limited PDF files.
    Remove the PDF security
    I am now using Adreamsoft PDF eidtor, With this smart PDF edit software, you can edit the text, images, annotation, layouts and pages of a PDF file. And you can also edit a PDF file by setting security password.

  • Security settings change from Acrobat Pro to Reader

    I have set the Security Method in Acrobat Pro to allow "commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields."  But when I send the PDF file my customer who opens the document using Adobe Reader, commenting is not allowed.  Why is the security setting changing?  What can be done to correct this problem?

    Are you sure this is not a limitation of the product?
    "Reader" describes a product that reads a file and nothing more.
    Have you looked at the Acrobat Professional's "Help" for information about enabling 'commenting'?

  • Cannot Edit a Form in Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi - use Livecycle

    Hi all,
    I was advised to buy Adobe Pro XI yesterday by the Direct Sales Adobe team because it includes "everything I need" to create and EDIT PDF forms.  I actually rang up to buy X but was told it was now XI.
    I tried to edit a form today and got this message:
    "this form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe Livecycle Designer to edit this form"
    I was told this was included in Pro but can't get past this message.  I previously had a trial of Adobe Pro X and WAS able to edit this very form.
    It is very frustrating.  I cannot edit anything I have been working on.
    FormsCentral seems too basic as I need to be able to edit the field name in the properties of the field.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    David

    You can't edit Excel files in Adobe Acrobat.

  • AdobeForms Central - Editing AdobeForms Central PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI, Electronic Signatures

    I have an adobe forms central account, adobe acrobat pro installed on my mac. And I want to create an adobe forms central PDF form that I can edit in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and also create an electronic signature. How should I go about this?

    If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

  • Editing a text field in Acrobat pro 9.4

    When I go to the editing mode inside of actobat pro, all that I can edit are data fields, not static text.  How do I select the static text in my form/document so that I can change it?  The data  fields are all fine as is and I do not need to edit them.  I just need to edit the static text in the document.  How can this be done?
    If I use lifecycle designer, the text does not show up formatted properly and it is impossible to edit because text is too large and some of text fields are on top of each other.  In lifecycle designer, I cannot figure out how to select a text area.  It has the boxes outlined but it is imposible to change the box size since there is apparently no select tool.  Every time I try, I end up editing a box that is on top of the box that I am trying to edit.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks George.  I did not create the form.  A previous developer created it.  So I am not entirely sure how they created it originally and all we have is the .pdf to work with. 
    Just some background.  The .pdf is static and is on our web server.  The web server dynamically creates an .fdf file with data for the form that the web user entered on the web site.  The web user can open this .fdf on the web page as it has a link to the corresponding generic .pdf file.  It puts the data in the .pdf and is displayed on the web so the user can print the document (rental contract).

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    Regards,
    Rave
