Edit Polygon Path in Acrobat 9 Pro

Can I edit a pre-existing polygon path in Acrobat 9 Pro (add/delete points) I cannot find the menu which would alloe me to do this.

I actually made an account just to reply an answer to this question. It turns out that Adobe just isn't able to develop this feature at this time. You see, with so little income from the Adobe Acrobat product line, and with such a small market share, they just don't have the revenue stream to support continued development of features. They have just barely enough revenue to move icons around in each release, change the names of features, and improve overall customer satisfaction by ensuring their products are always forward comparable with the most recent hardware to encourage hardware upgrades and innovation in computer speeds. They just don't have the resources to thoroughly user-test their software. They can't possibly be expected to consider any user-cases in their software design or plans for future software. It explains why users have been asking Adobe to add a reasonably small set of features to their software for at least a decade, but instead, new and more complex menu systems have been designed to provide users with more places to click, and more ways to find previously non-hidden features. It's fun! It's like playing a scavenger hunt with every new release!

Is it possible to edit a pdf with Acrobat Pro XI that was created in LiveCycle?

I downloaded a trial version of LiveCycle awhile back. I created several forms. The trial period ended and I would like to change something. When I try to edit the pdf in Acrobat Pro it tells me that I must use LiveCycle to edit it. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you in advance for any replies.
Dana

No, all LCD forms can only be edited in LCD.
And the second trial is probably not going to work, unless you install it
on a different computer.
The best way to salvage your form, in my experience, is to print it to the
Adobe PDF printer, creating a new flat PDF file and then running the Form
Detection Wizard in Acrobat on it and continuing from there. It probably
won't do a perfect job, but it should recognize some of the fields.

How to edit hyperlink properties in Acrobat Pro 9?

I'm trying to edit a PDF document (generated from Windows Word) on my Mac with Acrobat Pro 9.
What I want to do is make the borders invisible, because in Mac Preview the hyperlinks appear with ugly boxes around them. Apparently when no borderWidth property is set, Acrobat Reader defaults to a value of 0, but Preview defaults to a value of 1.
I selected Tools > Advanced Editing > Link tool and can see all the hyperlink boxes.
But I can't find a way to edit their properties.
I tried double-clicking on the rectangles, which is what it says to do in the manual, but nothing happens.
I tried control-click on a rectangle and a dialog pops up. I select properties from the dialog, but no properties appear.
Anybody know how to get this to work?
Thanks,
doug

How to edit a pdf in acrobat pro

All sorted now - thanks again

Creating an editable text field in Acrobat Pro 9.5

I create editing tests for applicants to my company. Previously I used Word, but I want to these tests to be pdfs moving forward because when I use Word there are various ways the test takwers can cheat. For most of the sections of the tests I can use various Acrobat form fields, radio buttons, etc. But there is one section that is typically a 700-word text sample that the test taker is required to edit. Would I be able to insert this much text in a text field so that it is editable? I want to limit the test taker's ability to refomat the document, which is another reason I want these to be pdfs.
I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5.
I'd appreciate any suggestions from users.
Thanks.
dg

You can enter as much text as you want into a text field. Just need to
leave enough place for it on the page and make sure to set it as multi-line.
Regarding limiting the ways the document can be edited: Are the test takers
going to be using Reader or Acrobat? If the former, there's no problem.
They can't do anything except fill in the files and save the file (if you
enable that) or print it or submit it back to you.
If they are using Acrobat, or have access to it, then you should password
protect the file to prevent it from being edited in undesired ways.

File paths in Acrobat Pro

All,
Do individual files under the subdirectories in an Acrobat Pro file have their own unique path?
We store monthly account data in an Acrobat Pro file, which has directories for each individual account then by date of the month. I was hoping to write a batch file that could copy our daily downloads into each of these directories, but can't seem to find any information on the properties of the PDF's within my PDF? I've never used Pro before and was interested in how this file is broken down.
Thanks for your help.

Thats it, I wasn't sure what they were called to look this stuff up.
So can I insert a new data object from an existing PDF with a batch script, or some other back end method?

Change the install path for Acrobat Pro X

Hi everybody! I just downloaded the AcroX trial to see what's beef with the new release, but I ran into a very annoying problem:
I'm quite nitpicking about my Applications folder, and I installed all of my other Adobe software into an "Adobe" subfolder.
I just noticed that during the installation is not possible to easily change the installation path like you can do in other Adobe setups...
I found this in the KB
(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Mac_OS)
"You cannot install Acrobat to a custom location." and other stuff...
The question is: do you have any idea of the priority of this bug? Will this be fixed anytime soon?
Thanks, Agia

Hi,
Just followed the link you gave. In the try option for Acrobat X Pro the dropdown only has options for Windows installers and not MAC Installers.
Secondly to answer your issue for customize installation to a path on OS 10.6, follow the following steps:
1) Mount the dmg on MAC
2) Launch the installer package
3) Click OK on popup that you need to close running instances of Acrobat
4) Click next to go to Read Me.
5) Click next to move to Installation Type screen where we have buttons "Install", "GoBack" and "Customize". Click on Customize
6) In this screen you will see 3 checkboxes "Application", "Browser Plug-In" and "Print Workflow" with columns as Package Name, Location, Action and Size
7) Corresponding to Application Checkbox there is Location specified (With a small folder icon) - Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Click on this to select your location (2nd column)
This is similar to what traditional Apple products installers do like XCode installer. There is nothing new in this.
Thanks,
Karan

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!
Cheers,
Actiondan

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat Pro XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

Adobe acrobat pro 9.5.5 incompatibility with preview

anybody having incompatibility btwn these two programs? when I edit a PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, like this:
and then open the edited PDF in Preview, it looks like this:
text boxes disappear, arrows disappear, some text turns to nonsense (here's another example, where text is not aligned properly in text box):
any thoughts?

Unfortunately no. However, I did try converting several other stock photos that I have on my machine, and that worked fine. This leads me to believe there is something "different" about the first set of JPGs that I was trying to convert. Maybe a security setting on the camera that they were taken with? I'm still at a loss. But thanks for the suggestion that sparked the other idea

How to make Adobe Acrobat Pro's (CS6) toolsets work more like previous versions. It is very inconvenient now to put it mildly, was much better in CS3.

In CS6, every time I need to preflight, edit, export images from Acrobat Pro I have to try and build a new toolset. The little icons that appear at the top are generally meaningless, as I don't use this every day. Is there a way to make it behave more like previous versions - say CS3?

Why do you have to build a new toolset? Why not, for instance, just click the Preflight button?

Upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0?

Yes, the earliest version from which you can upgrade to X is 7.

Editing Forms in Adobe Acrobat XI

How do I create a form in FormsCentral, save it in an editable PDF version, and edit it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

In FormsCentral save the form as PDF using File-> Save as PDF Form... If you do not intend for the form to use FormsCentral to collect responses then in the resulting dialog select button Don't Collect Responses. Open the resulting file in Acrobat Pro and use File-> Save a Copy... Open the copy in Acrobat Pro and select Tools-> Forms. You should now be able to edit the form.

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
Click-path: File - Export
Take your pick.
With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".
Be well...
