Displaying trim box size with Acrobat Reader

I am looking for a way to have Acrobat Reader display Trim Box size. We have many Customer Service Reps and Sales people who receive PDFs from clients and cannot tell what the Trim Box size is except for asking me. I have Acrobat Pro and can easily find the information, but I am tired of being constantly asked. It does not make sense for all them to have Acrobat Pro.  Any help is appreciated.

You need to Reader-enable the document, which allows Reader to do things it normally cannot. In Acrobat 9, you'd select: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
In Acrobat 8 it's something different but very similar. Note that some people have reported problems when trying to use an enabled document in a different version of Reader than the version of Acrobat that was used to enable the document.

  • Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

    hi
    Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
    I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
    I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
    According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
    But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
    So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
    Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
    However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
    This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
    To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
    But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
    Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
    thanks,
    Asatamax

    The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
    (1) Open Adobe Reader
    (2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
    (3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
    (response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
    I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

  • PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

    Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0  family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
    Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ????  Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
    Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ?????  If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Can I certify a document with Acrobat Reader ?

    Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to certify a document with Acrobat Reader. The sign toolbar button "Certify" in Reader is always disabled even if the document has not been signed. Thanks in advance.

    I just tried it.   Even saved a document with Reader Extended PDF and a signature field (which you can only do with Acrobat).  I opened in Reader but could not certify it (although I could digitally sign in).  I can certify in Acrobat.
    It's possible you can certify a Portfolio (container for PDF docs) using Reader.  However, right now that's not working with the current version of Acrobat or Reader.  (Adobe engineering is working on that - see my recent posting).
    It's also possible that the bug with certifying/signing Portfolios is also preventing other actions from happening.  I don't know.

  • Win7 Pdf print with acrobat reader

    I have a problem with the printer's list,
    if install a printer... it does appear in the list.
    if i change or remove a printer it disappear...
    The problem is verified with acrobat 10 and 11, with the version 9 the printer's list is blank.
    With acrobat reader 9 i can't print because "no printer is installed"...

    Make sure you update to the lastest available version of Acrobat/Reader (these are two different things, by the way)... Only versions 9.2 or higher are compatible with Windows 7.

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • Dot matrix printer will not print well with acrobat reader 8 and 9.

    I have the dot matrix printer IBM Proprinter XLIII, with Acrobat Reader 7 pdf prints correctly, but with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and 9 print badly.

    I updated the drivers with a new version, but continues to print badly with acrobat reader 8 and 9 (the text is not readable)
    If printed with Acrobat Reader 7 print is ok.

  • FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

    The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

    Yes, I mean the eternal application.
    Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
    If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
    Thanks

  • Unable to download a pdf file. received message-problem with program with acrobat reader-103-103

    unable to download a pdf file using acrobat reader X. received message-there is a proble with program with acrobat reader 103-103.

    Download the file with your web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). Then attempt to open the PDF file in Reader or Acrobat.
    It may not be a real PDF file, or it may be damaged.

  • How do I create a form that is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

    how do I create a form That is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

    To create forms on your computer you need to purchase Acrobat Standard.
    Better yet, Acrobat Pro.
    To provide Extended form Rights you need to purchase Acrobat Professional.
    Or Standard, unless you need to enable digital signatures in Reader.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?
