Duplicating pages in Acrobat X Pro

I downloaded a PDF (employment application) and was filling it in with Acrobat. I duplicated the page titled "Employment History" so I could add more items. I saved the file, but when I reopened it later, found that both "Employment History" pages had identical information. They're essentially clones of each other, and whatever I enter on one, enters on the other.
How can I duplicate a page so that I can enter unique information on each?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

If two form fields have the same name, they are for all purposes the same field; what you type in one, appears in the other. The only way to fix this is to give the fields different names. If the form is to be submitted electronically you are stuck with a shorter history, since their automated system is likely to only look for the names they started with.

How to change the size of page in Acrobat XI pro

I would like to save a PDF docuemnt with another size of page.
I can't figure out how to do it.
For Acrobat X and earlier the advise was to go to Crop tool (or by Ctrl-Shift-T) and chose from drop down menu.
This advice seems to eb not valid anymore with Acrobat XI, as Cropt tool doesn't have any drop down menu, but Ctrl-Chift-T leads to Insert Page dialogue.
I'd appreciate an explanation whether it is possible in Acrobat XI Pro and how.
Thanks!

Adding pages in Acrobat 9 Pro (secured document)

I am about to switch to a new computer. The old one had Acrobat 8 Professional and the new one has Acrobat 9 Pro.
I produce a certain kind of files where, after I have printed it to a pdf, I take a copy of the pdf. One of the files I leave as it is, the other one (with a slight namechange, I add a blank page to every other page.
This is how I did it in Acrobat 8:
Open the file
Change the security setting (temporarily remove it so I can add pages, when I close the file the security is automatically turned on again)
Click on Pages/Options/Insert page
Go to the place where I have my one blank page (with no security added)
Insert it after page 1
Ctrl-click and drag so I copy the page to every other page.
Save and close
When I try to do this in 9 the following happens:
First when I go to Pages/Options/Insert page I have to choose "from file". Irritating with extra more step, but I can live with that.
I add the empty page after page 1 and then try to ctrl-click and drag, but it doesn't work. I get an error message that I will try to translate (I am Swedish):
"Pages retrieved from a secured file looses its security settings. Do you want to continue?"
What is this? I have temporarily removed the security settings (Secure/Show security properties/Change Settings/fill in password/OK/Cancel) just as it says in the help file. If I the click on Secure, all is permitted. When I save and exit and reopen that file, the security is there again.
As it is temporarily without security this should work as in Acrobat 8!!
I now have 2 options:
1. Add the empty page after every other page manually (Insert page instead of copying the one I already inserted)
or
2. Permanently remove the security and then remember to turn it on (lots of steps) before I save the file.
The files are usually about 20 pages, so I have to do step 1 10 times.... I usually do about 15-20 of these files at one time, so this is a problem that will be very time consuming for me.
Could someone please tell me what's happening and maybe give me an idea about a way to work around it?
Lena, Sweden

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?

Can I change the size of just one page in acrobat 9 pro?

Hi,
I have acrobat 9 pro. (I think it's great.) I would like the first page to be 57% and the other 63 pages to be 100%. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Kidd in Paris

There is no way I know of to do this directly.
You could always create a PDF of the cover only at a smaller size (65% of the original size) and insert it.
The only issue there is if they print it, the cover will also print at 65%...

Cannot attach a pdf after extracting a page in Acrobat X Pro

I have a user that wants to extract one page from a multi page pdf and then e-mail it. He performs these steps - >
Tools - Extract - Share - The file is not showing up in the Select Any Type of File box and the Attach to Email bubble is filled in.
He aslo has Adobe Reader XI installed and is using Windows XP.
Any ideas?

Hopefully Adobe Reader is not being used to attempt this as it cannot do it.
Now if Acrobat XI Pro is used the "click" path is Tools | Pages | Extract which will present the "Extract Pages" dialog.
Note that there is no "share" associated with this.
The "Extract Pages" dialog affords the user the ability to select the "from" and "to" pages, the ability to tick "Delete Pages After Extracting" and the ability to tick "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
A similar dialog / end-user choices for Acrobat X Pro, the flavors of Acrobat 9 Pro and 8 Pro.
It appears that some other process is in play. Could you identify it please.
Be well...

MS Powerpoint 2010 Notes Pages and Acrobat 9 Pro

Does anyone have a print solution that allows Notes pages print in Acrobat 9 Pro? Blank pages print or the notes only and not the slide will print. We made a mistake by upgrading our whole department to MS Office 2010, not knowing that Acrobat (which is what we used to prepare our printed material) is NOT compatible with MS Office 2010. I saw that we "have to wait for the next version of Acrobat"? We need help! Does anyone have a solution?

Found a solution! Adobe support confirmed that since Office 2010 came out after Acrobat 8 or 9, it has not been tested and the PDF creator in powerpoint will not print notes pages. We used Bullzip PDF creater (http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php) a free download. This is an available print option from within powerpoint afer you install the small file. This DID print the Notes pages correctly. After its initial creation, any additional .PDF work is being down from within Acrobat 9 (headers, footer, creating a Portfolio, etc.).

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to create a PDF file from a web page. The alt tags for images is not being recognized, and the reading order bounces all over the page (not the order of the web page). For example, the 1st text item on the page is #7 in the reading order, and the #1 item is an image half way down the page. All the documentation I can find says Acrobat will read top to bottom, left to right, but it's not. Any idea how to fix it?

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.

Can't convert certain IE Web Pages using Acrobat 9 Pro

http://mediasolveconnect.com/demo/?scene=test1#Endcap-Sponsorship
I am able to successfully convert various web pages in IE to pdf however when I try to convert the pages on this site I only get a solid black page.

This page is a Flash site, while Acrobat supports importing Flash content, entire sites built in Flash often have issues displayed as a PDF page.

Scan.api error after scanning and then clicking no for no more pages. Acrobat x pro then closes.

I never had a problem scanning and saving the file before. But now I receive an error after I finish scanning, then hit "no" for no more pages to be scanned. Error message is as follows: Adobe acrobat error signature: AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 10.1.10.18 ModName: scan.api ModVer: 10.1.10.18 Offset: 00033117.
Then the program closes.
This is really driving me crazy because I haven't done anything different to my computer or the scanning process. Please help.

Hi Charlene Luong,
Could you please let me know if you are on Windows or MAC.
Also, restart your computer and check for your system updates.
Hope to get your response.

Duplicating pages in Acrobat

Working with Acrobat documents, from time to time I would like to be able to duplicate page(s). There doesn't seem to be a feature for this.
I would like to request that it be added to a list of feature inclusions, thanks.

Open the Pages panel, select the page(s) you want to duplicate, hold down Ctrl and then drag and drop them in the location you want to have the duplicates.

How do you crop multiple pages in Acrobat X Pro?

I don't see how to do this. I could in Acrobat 9 easily.
Thanks in advance. JIP

Now THAT was helpful (double click on the cropped part, etc.). WHY did they make it so hard/nonintuitive to find such a much-needed feature? Weird. (I'm using the Windows version, but same weirdness there.)

Acrobat 9 Pro - How do I get inserted scanned pages to display the same size as the original file?

When I insert scanned pages into Acrobat 9 Pro document, the scanned pages display much larger than the original file. They are all 8.5 x 11, but the inserted pages look HUGE compared to the original pages. HELP!

Check the resolution of your scanned files compared to the PDF. A 300dpi file placed into a 72dpi will appear larger.

Acrobat XI Pro installation failed

MacBook Pro 13" Retina
OSX 10.8.5
3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Used Akamai NetSession Interface.
Downloaded from Adobe website. After download, clicked on installer, entered serial number, quickly went through installing until right at the end: "THE INSTALLATION FAILED: Installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail. Contact manufacturer." Part of the message cut-off abruptly.
Then, it appeared that the installation did occur but when I opened the software the interface didn't look "smooth." Then almost immediately software update stated Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 was available for download, but computer wouldn't allow it to be installed citing error on initial problem. I uninstalled XI Pro and tried to download again from Adobe website but the window instantly opened for Akamai and said download complete. The same problem occured when I tried to install again, with the same error message.

Thank you Anish.
The software now appears to be working for some reason, and even though Error 1301 appeared when trying to update to Acrobat 11.0.04, it shows that I am running 11.0.04. There is something going on in there but so far so good.

Help Please...Damaged 3D plugin on Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Guidance to Re-install

Hello...
I have been getting Warning messages indicating that "part of the 3D Capture plugin is damaged" over the past week and finally tried to follow Adobe's advice online in modifying the Registry (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432) and made sure my security app "trusts" acapture32.dll, then attempted to repair Acrobat twice -- with no luck...in fact things seem even worse now. But when I tried to contact Adobe support for some guidance, all they could "help" me with was recommending I upgrade to 11, because 9 is no longer supported. I don't need 11...9 has served my needs perfectly until corruption.
Tonight I visited Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended's download page, and tried to download the "Version 3D Update 200810" .msi file but when I try to run it, I get a screen that says: "No qualifying products found to apply this update" which suggests to me it now can't even SEE my app.
Adobe support would not even answer one simple question I had...perhaps someone here can help me.
I've seen many questions on the forums related to deactivating on an old system and properly installing and activating the software onto a new computer, but nowhere is there clear guidance on how to uninstall a program that has become corrupted...and reinstall it back onto the SAME computer.
My question is:
I know de-activation is critical, but I need to know which of the two choices I should be making before uninstalling then reinstalling:
1. Should I choose to "Deactivate & Suspend"...(which supposedly retains my registration information) but if I UNINSTALL the software then REINSTALL it and try to re-activate it, won't I have lost my "registration" information anyway when uninstalling the app from my system before reinstalling it?
-OR-
2. Should I select instead to "Deactivate Permanently", then UNINSTALL the app, then REINSTALL it -- and will I be able to go through the registration process anew for a product that Adobe says it no longer supports...AND activate it?
Also what seems to be strange, my 9 Pro Extended indicates I am running version 9.5.5, but on Adobe's download page for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, I only see updates through version 9.4.5. I've been set to automatically receive Acrobat 9 updates as they are released, so the only place I could have gotten a 9.5.5 update was through Adobe.
Please help me...Adobe has so many hoops to jump through that there is too much room for screwing up. So I'm asking for help BEFORE I do...
Thank you!
-Janie-

Hi Rave...
Bet you thought all was well. I was without my system for a few days but finally had a chance to uninstall...and reinstall full app and all updates through 9.5.5.
Problem is...the same problem. Issues related to 3D Capture with notifications. The result ends up being a .pdf that either includes hieroglyphics in various parts of the document...or Acrobat freezing altogether forcing me to either attempt to do a hard close on the program (if it lets me)...or hard reboot of my system. This happens when trying to .pdf web pages or html .pdf docs...not on Word docs, Excel docs or .jpgs -- things like that.
Here's the content of one of the log files generated:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
     X930A2E12 not found, using Courier.                            (or X93062E47 or X934A2E59 not found, using Courier.) - these locations vary
     X1EFDD07B not found, using Courier.                           (or X1F6ED088 or X1EFAD0A5 not found, using Courier.) - these locations vary
     %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%
     Stack:
     %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
     %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Also this:
    The operation completed successfully.
     Pipe:\\.\pipe\PMtoDistiller_ID_2:Error                              (or Pipe:\\.\pipe\PMtoDistiller_ID_5:Error) - varies
I've also been getting a plugin-container.exe error message via Windows but don't know if it is related in any way to the 3D Capture issue.
(I do run Mozilla Firefox v-31.0)
I also never de-activated (was not allowed to complete the request) before uninstalling AND never was asked to re-activate after re-installing. So I don't know if that's good news or not. If I ever want to de-activate on this computer and install/activate onto a new system or HD I'll likely be out of luck on that.
Other weird stuff upon re-install. Checked my HD used space BEFORE uninstalling, AFTER uninstalling, and AFTER re-installing application and all updates for 9 Pro Extended. Results as follows:
BEFORE UNINSTALL:
Used: 112 GB
Free: 31.9 GB
AFTER UNINSTALL:
Used: 110 GB
Free: 36.2 GB
AFTER RE-INSTALL AND ALL UPDATES INSTALLED:   (I would have expected these figures to be pretty much the same as BEFORE UNINSTALL)
Used: 124 GB
Free: 19.3 GB
And program space under Add/Remove only indicates 1,959 MB -- it was at around 2,300+ MB BEFORE UNINSTALL...
So something really strange is going on!
Is there a way to override or disable 3D Capture?
Other things I'm picking up on. I had Acrobat Reader on my system before as well as CS2...and originally was using Adobe Acrobat Elements but (except for CS2) had uninstalled those quite some time ago, however...in my Docs & Settings.../JLD/ApplicationData/Adobe/Acrobat folder I'm finding the following folders (and all are populated):
6.0
9.0
10.0
11.0
Distiller 6
Distiller 9
Preflight Acrobat 9
Only version of Acrobat showing in "Add/Remove Programs" is 9   (BTW...is Acrobat 6.0/Distiller 6.0 needed for CS2? - but they're not showing up in Add/Remove.)
In my Program Files, along with CS2 content is:
Acrobat 6.0 (but the Resource folder within only contains a font)
Acrobat 9.0
So I'm trying to think of anything else that may signal what my conflict or problem is being caused by...don't know if any .dll is corrupted, but on a new install I would think those things should now be a non-issue.
Any ideas (aside from simply turning 3D Capture error notifications off) on how to disengage 3D Capture altogether so there's nothing to set off an error and lock-up because of it? I can limp through getting hieroglyphics but can't stand getting locked up for attempting to create a .pdf.
Or a setting in the Registry that I need to contemplate? I hate touching anything in there...but if it's simply a setting, I can back-up it up, make a change and restore if needed.
I'm sorry to hit you with all this...but the forum isn't letting me attach any screenshots so I have to write it all in.
Thank you, Rave!

Why does Acrobat 9 Pro asks for Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader for best results

I have linked a page in Acrobat 9 Pro to a video which has been converted to a PDF and is one of the pages in the portfolio. When I activate the link the cover sheet comes up
For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in
Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later.
I can't then get to the video.
however if I load the page directly it plays normally.
any suggestions

Acrobat Standard 9 is a PC program. This is the Mac forum. However, we'll still try to help :-)
Please reconfirm your OS? If on the Mac OS, what version of Acrobat? Check to see if you have Preview set to be the default viewer of pdfs.
If on the a PC, which OS? Which version of Acrobat Standard 9? Have you updated to the latest version of Acrobat Standard? Do you have any other pdf viewers on your computer?
