Does Adobe Acrobat 7.0 have command line switches?
Currently I use Create PDF from Multiple Documents to cobble together a PDF I need to make every once in a while. Are there command line switches to insert pages? Something like:
acrobat -insert mydoc.pdf put_in_this_doc.pdf
I didn't see any mention in the help but thought maybe I was overlooking it.
No, there are no command lines to do anything like this. Acrobat
supports OLE automation for programmers.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument.
Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?
Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

What is the computer operating system that you are running Premiere Elements 12 on?
If it is Mac, you do not have Chroma Key, Blue Screen Key, Green Screen Key. You should have Videomerge.
But, I have been directing Premiere Elements Mac users to my blod post to the Difference Key as a subtitute for green
screening.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
What is in that blog post also is applicable to Premiere Elements 12.
Here the Adobe description of ChromaKey...please scroll down in Effects References to see the description.

Need a command line switch to close Acrobat Catalog Index batch file
I am looking for help with a command line switch. I am VERY new to scheduling tasks and writing scripts.
Our office created an Acrobat Catalog Index that needs to be updated on a regular basis. I created a .bpdx file as follows:
\\dept\SPDintelshare\Analysis\2nd Hand Transaction Logs\Secondhand Transaction Logs.pdx /rebuild
This runs via Microsoft Task Scheduler from a .bat file as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\cutrone0999\Desktop\PawnIndex.bpdx"
The batch runs just like it is supposed to, but it won't close when it is finished re-building. I have tried using EXIT at the end of the .bat file and that doesn't work. I also tried a force close for acrobat.exe and that doesn't work either. The problem is that if I log off my computer the batch will run as scheduled and when I log back on in the morning the scheduled task shows 'running' and I have to end it. Then I have to re-start my computer or I can't open any Adobe documents.
If I leave my computer logged on, the batch runs as scheduled and when I log back on in the morning I have to close the dialog boxes showing the index re-ran and then close Adobe.
I would appreciate any suggestions. I have googled this every way I can think of and I'm not finding any results that are helpful. Thank you in advance!

Syracuse, NYAcrobat can be opened by a Windows batch process, but a Windows batch process can not trigger a batch process/Action within Acrobat. It is possible with MacIntosh's Apple Script to open a PDF and run Acrobat JavaScript but not interact with Acrobat's Batch Processing or Acrobat's Actions. Note that opening a BPDX file is different than opening an Acrobat Seq file.
The catalog/index scheduled update is not part of Acrobat "Batch Process" or "Action". The running of rebuilding of the catalog/index is controlled by the values within the BPDX file. So if one opens the BPDX file with Acrobat and a catalog/index is scheduled to be rebuilt or past the scheduled date and time, then the catalog/index build is submitted for precessing by Acrobat..
Now the issue is how to close Acrobat after this processes has completed. Since Acrobat does not communicate with the Windows OS system, the Widows scheduled process has no way to know when this task has completed. Even though one can use JavaScript to test the status of a submitted Catalog/Index build/rebuild there is no communication of the submitted catalog job unless quired by Acrobat JavaScript. If you check the Acrobat JS API Reference you will see there are 2 possible results for a catalog/index rebuild, a completed rebuild and a termination with errors. One of these should require additional action.
Further, a recent update to Acrobat JavaScript has added restrictions to using JavaScript to "closeDoc" method which may need to be addressed.
It is also possible to open an FDF file and add/run JavaScirpts within a PDF, and again this is different than running a "Batch Process"/"Action" in Acrobat. -
Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?
driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products. -
Hi,
Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional support the content of an image which has been converted to a PDF file to be edited?
Sometimes when I try to edit the content of a PDF file which was created by converting an image into a PDF file, I notice that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional tells me that this Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot support this content.
On the other hand, even if Adobe Acrobat professional could edit a PDF file, I notice that there are far too many restrictions to edit the content, for example, if your new editing words are more than the old then the line goes out the page instead of going to a new line. In addition, if you reached to the end of a line, and then you press 'Enter' to let the rest of words of the last line be written on the next line, you notice that the words writes on the words of line which follows the line which is being edited. As a result, the text would be quite crazy.
Any comments would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot,Thanks very much,
Sometimes when I try to edit the content of PDF files which were created by converting an image into a PDF file, I notice that that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional tells me that tells me that this content cannot be supported
Even in the case of files created from word processing files, I notice that there are far too many restrictions in editing the content. For example, if you insert extra words or characters, the text does not automatically word-wrap. In addition, the "Enter key" does not work properly to insert a new line at the expected position. As a result, the text is quite crazy. -
How does one specify command line switches for a Helper Application in Mozilla Firefox?
Greetings,
I would like to have a certain batch file to be executed when downloading torrent files unfortunately the Select Helper Application dialog does not allow to add command line switches. I did find a workaround to achieve this. In the Select Helper Application dialog browse to the folder which contains the batch file, type the file name including the file extension of the batch file and click on Open.
Though, this is not the way I would like to execute the batch file. I need to pass some additional command line switches to the command interpreter but I cannot seem to find a way how. Any suggestions or clarifications would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
JoeriHi Joeri,
This is possibly slightly off topic for this forum as it relates to something more than the standard use of Firefox. Although I do not know the answer myself someone else may post later. Otherwise try somewhere else my suggestions are:
*The mozillazine fora tend to discuss a wider range of subjects and technical details <br/> http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php
*Also it may be worth asking on the Add-on forum <br/> https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/
*Note a general information kb relating to downloads is
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
** and for anyone with simpler questions [[Unable to download or save files]]
If you do solve this I hope you post back with the answer and a link to the relevant information.
Good luck with finding a solution, John -

Does Adobe Acrobat run on Lion?
Does Adobe Acrobat 7 run on Lion?
It's giving me an error message because Power PC applications are not supported.
Do I have to buy new software?It certainly won't be a free upgrade, if that's what you mean. Adobe does have an upgrade to go from Acrobat 7 Pro to Acrobat X Pro. From Amazon it's $184.00 US.

Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?
Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
After I downloaded Acrobat, Adobe Reader tries to control viewing of my photos. When I plug my digital camera into the PC, all the files are labeled “PDF”; the files still have the .jpg extension, though. For photos on my PC, when I try to open them, Adobe reader insists on opening them, but it can’t, and I get the message:
“Adobe Reader could not open photo.jpg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged”
I attached several photos to an e-mail that I sent after downloading Acrobat, and I could not open the photos before sending the e-mail (in order to verify that they were the correct photos before I sent the e-mail). Adobe Reader was my only option when I clicked “open” to view a photo, and it would not open the photo.
I assume that I did something during the Acrobat download process that has caused this situation. My plan is to uninstall Acrobat and then re-install it and this will hopefully remove this situation.
Any suggestions you have about this situation would be greatly appreciated.
