Disable "open in layers" in Acrobat?

This is just a question, and probably a rookie problem: every single PDF file I download or save as a pdf in Photoshop or Illustrator, when I want to open it again, opens as "Layer 1" rather than as "Background". That means that in every case, if it's an image file that I want to open, examine and close, I have to flatten it first or it will save as a new PSD file rather than as a TIFF(default) or a PDF again. It seems odd to me that an application that doesn't really function in terms of layers, crams layers down my throat when I open its native file type-PDF. I work mainly in Illustrator and Photoshop; I'm not adept at Acrobat, so it's probably happening because I missed some setting or preference. Is this just a "trash the prefs" matter? Any help will be appreciated. I'm on a Mac Powermac G5 2GHz w/ 7GB RAM, running CS3 on OS X 10.5.6

Hey,
i found this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/differences-between-using-a-workbook-in-excel-and-excel-services-HA010105457.aspx
Here you can see a comparison between Excel workbook and excel services.
At the point: unsupported, you'll find the tag "tooltips"
I guess, it's not supported, sry...

Disabling open pdf in browser in adobe PRO XI not reader

I have deployed adobe pro out to our user base and i understand in adobe PRO X there was a check box that would disable open pdf in a browser but that has gone away. I have gone under the preferences and on the internet section in PRO XI there is a link that takes you
here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html I have created a GPO that disables the active X control in both IE 8 and IE 10 as you can see from this screen shot the adobe pdf reader is disabled so according to the instructions on the web all pdf files should open in PRO XI. This is not the case. The pdf will still open in the browser. I have checked the new customizations wizzard for adobe PRO XI and there is nothing to disable disply pdf in the browser to uncheck that i am aware of. I have read about the bdisablewebintegration but this have not worked either under the FeatureLockDown. In adobe reader you can go under the accessibilty options and disable open within a browser there but I have been unable to find that option in PRO XI. Had anyone found a fix for this issue to where it can be deployed out?
Please let me know
Thanks

From the screenshot it looks like you have both Acrobat and Reader on the machine and only Reader is disabled.
Check again. If you think the doc is incorrect, post back.
--- more info ---
All browser integration prefs were deprecated with 11.x because browser companies are releasing new versions every 6 weeks or more. It was simply not possible to keep pace without requiring admins to update every few weeks. Moreover, most browsers are gradually phasing out such plugins or at least disable them by default (e.g. Chrome). Many companies provide a browser-specific PDF viewer. Acrobat and Reader share the same config and there's nothing different between the two.

Create layered Adobe Acrobat files from PSE 2.0?

This forum has been consistently very helpful to me, for which I am ever so grateful.
As a solution to the "global Awareness" and "global literacy" dilemma in public education, I have created an 8-volume print and digital content suite in PSE 2.0 (over a period of 12 years). Teachers are eager to get hold of it, but I am discovering that not that not all classroom teachers have direct access to Adobe Photoshop Elements. Is there a way to convert my PSE 2.0 files to layered Adobe Acrobat files without losing quality of the images?
[For low-res reference, see www.worldpeas.org and click on the .pdf button.] The .psd graphics files consist of large-format continental maps, layered with up to 200 postage stamp catalogue images. The stamp objects are moved to their correct places on the map, with the correct map number corresponding to the layer number. In the digital versions, users right click on the stamp image to see if they got the correct map position.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks for reading this.

GloblaEd, I like your questions, they trigger my inquisitive nature!
Anyway, there is a multi-layer PSD World Map available* from http://snipahar.deviantart.com/art/Artistic-Map-Making-Template-318243114. This file makes use of layer groups, which is a full Photoshop feature. PSE can read layer groups and resave them but you cannot work with them other than hide, reorder, rename or delete them. For the purpose of this exercise though that's not important.
After unzipping the file from the above link, I opened it in PSE12 and saved it as a layered PDF file using the instructions I gave in Reply #2. The resultant PDF opens fine in both PSE12 and PS-CS6 with all layers intact, so I think things are looking good for what you want to do.
You can view or download the pdf I created from here - https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F6CE9FE6B45F5496%21144
Incidentally the file has 346 layers, all of which were correctly saved by PSE12 into the PDF file and opened correctly in both PSE12 and full Photoshop (which is where the following screenshot is taken from). This should be a good test for you to determine if it can do what you want or not.
* You can get links to loads of public domain map image files by searching https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=world+map+psd+layerered.

Neale

Windows menu mostly disabled (eg. Layers). Trial limitation?

Hi all,
I just downloaded the Trial version of Elements. I want to be sure it's good for what I want (2D game graphics) before I purchase. I tried to create a simple into screen for my game, but the Layers window in the Windows menu is greyed out (as is 90% of the Windows menu).
I can seemingly create new layers with the Layers menu, but since I can' open the Layers window, I can't do much between them.
Is this a limitation of the trial, or am I doing something stupid?
Another small queston, when I select some text, the Copy/Paste options are greyed out, unless I select everything else in the document. Is this because they're on the same layer, or does it sound strange? I wanted to copy/paste my text (to creat a flipped, reflection), but I just couldn't find a way to do it.
Thanks.
Danny

Windows. When I start it, I Get the below splash screen. Clicking CREATE loads Elements with lots of stuff (like all of the windows: layers, history, effects, etc.) disabled. Clicking EDIT loads it with all this stuff enabled. I think the CREATE option is for using wizards to create flyers and stuff. I'd rather just skip this and have it load in the EDIT mode every time.

Merge to Panorama, HDR Pro, and Open as Layers Fails in CC 2014

I have had this issue for months.
There have been 2 updates to CC 2014 and still the issue remains.
I have uninstalled all versions of Photoshop and Lightroom and re-installed CC 2014 and LR. Still the problem remains.
I have read, in other posts on this forum, that the problem was addressed and that the up to date version now works correctly. This is not true for me.
I am unable to use Merge to Pano, HDR, or open as layers regardless of whether I try to do it from within Photoshop or from Lightroom.
All of the dialogs to open the images behave correctly: in PS, the dialogs take me through opening the files and allow me to select them and then click OK. But then the dialog window closes and nothing happens.
Same is true from Lightroom; I get a warning about the Camera Raw plugin (which is at 8.0.0.) but then it opens the merge dialog window and gives me the proper options and after I click OK, the dialog window closes and nothing happens.
To be perfectly clear, when I say "nothing happens, I mean NOTHING." The program does not lock up, no files open, no errors, nothing... I can watch my resource meters and they don't even twitch.
So, what's next?

Online chat came through with a correct fix for the problem:
Camera Raw plug-in installer

Open as layers

I have ps5.1 and lightroom 5.4. I am unable to send files from lightroom using open as layers in photoshop or open as a smart object in photoshop. I understand that it may have something to do with ACR.

Correct...using the deeper editing in Photoshop (such as open as layers) requires that LR and ACR versions are in sync. So, you'll not be able to use this feature unless you update to CS6 or CC and ACR 8.4. Sorry, the best you can do is to open the various images into PS CS5 and add the images as layers manually.

Opening a pdf in Acrobat 9 automatically instead of in adobe Reader

I have both Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 Pro in my PC. When I double-click a pdf file, it'll be opened automatically in Reader 9. Then I notice that when I right-click over a pdf filename, 'Open with Adobe Reader 9' comes before 'Open with Acrobat 9'. How/Where do I change/reset a preference to have a pdf opened automatically in Acrobat 9 when I double-click a pdf?

Unfortunately, it's not that simple because Acrobat and Reader share files, and that's why Adobe recommends not to have them both installed in the same machine.

Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

I've tried Command Q to close; Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out; I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message:
There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
Thanks

Looks like it got stuck.
You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

Open PDF file in Acrobat reader rather than SAP Document viewer...

Hello everyone,
Whenever we attach a pdf file using Services for objects-->Store Business documents, an attachment list list is created and the file is archived in the repository.
If we double click on it, the pdf is opened in SAP Document viewer and not in Acrobat Reader unlike word document....
Can anyone tell me what configuration changes should be made and where so as to open pdf file in Acrobat?
Similarily what changes should be made so as to open Email files in Outlook?

Which version of the Acrobat Reader do you use?
According to my experience with our desktop this might be a feature of ACROBAD READER X.

Problems with editing/opening PDF's in Acrobat X

We have 2 situations going on with Acrobat X:
1. We are scanning drawings on a Xerox Wide Format scanner to PDF's. When I open them in Acrobat 8 Pro I can rotate and edit them. When my boss opens them in Acrobat X the same file opens as a PDF/A and he can't do anything with them. Any thoughts on how we can change this?
2. When my boss get's PDF attachements in his email he is not able to open them, he has to email them to me so I can open them in Acrobat 8 Pro.
We were considering upgrading the whole office to the latest version of Acrobat but until we can get these 2 basic items solved it won't happen. Any help is appriciated.
We are running Macs with OS X verison 10.8.4
Thanks
Christinia

Hi Christina,
For first issue, you are scanning your PDFs as PDF/A i.e why Acrobat 10 cannot edit them. (Acrobat 8 could edit PDF/A, this feature not to enable editing on PDF/A files were added in later versions). Now you can:
1. Either turnoff the checkbox to create PDF/A while scanning as shown in image below: You need to click on "PDF Output Options" button on the scan dialog to access this and other options.
or
2. When you open PDF/A in Acrobat X, you will get a blue message bar at the top, saying that "This file has been opened read only" along with the button "Enable Editing". You can click on "Enable Editing" to modify the pdf. See image below:
This should take care of the first issue.
Regarding the second issue of PDF attachments, I am not sure what could be the problem. It may be an OS issue related to file association. You can try associating the pdf files to Acrobat. To do this, Right Click on any pdf file and click "Get Info", then under "Open With" panel, select Acrobat and click on "Change All". See image below:
Thanks,
Varinder

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

PDF forms open with data in Acrobat 6 but open Blank in Acrobat 9

I have various forms which I have filled with data using Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional. Now When i open them using the same, it shows the data inside the form (like it should).
Unfortunately, there are these new forms released that are not compatible with Acrobat 6 Pro, so now I upgraded and have both Acrobat Professional 6, and Acrobat Professional 9 installed.
When i open the forms with data which I have saved when i used Acrobat 6 Pro, they open all blank in acrobat 9 pro, what shall I do.
I have been looking for this answer for days now. All the data is very important, and I do not want to loose it, these forms are my business please help...
I am stuck in between different versions of Acrobat. Thanks.

Hi there,
I'm having this exact same problem, so I wanted to bump this back into circulation, since I've yet to find a fix - let alone any information on it - anywhere.
I can't attach a file at this point (confidentiality), but I'll try to create one that I can upload.
In our case, they are Government forms. I know they have security on them, and I know that Acrobat 9's security differs from that of Acrobat 6, so I have to figure something 'broke' in the compatibility.
Basically, we've used Acrobat Standard 4, 5 and 6 for ages. I finally got the go ahead to upgrade everyone to 9 Standard (and a few to 8 Standard). These forms, which were filled out over the past number of years, all show up fine in any Acrobat (Reader, Standard or Pro) from version 7 and below. Opening them in 8 or 9 show the form in it's entirety, but the fields completely blank. If I open it again in a lesser version, the data is once again viewable.
I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Although I've read the contrary, I can't believe Acrobat would create a product that didn't allow you to open previously created PDFs - even if it takes a patch, or plug-in, or some sort of setting change.
Well, that's my call for help. Hopefully someone has some answers since this thread died a year ago.
Thanks!
