Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,
Sara

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9. When I attempt to save I get message saying,"Bad File Handle". There are several pictures on this file I'm trying to save...dont know if that has anything to do with the problem, just thought it would be helpful information. Would really appreciate any insight anyone has to offer.
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar problem with a simple pdf form. I have made several changes to the pdf and when I go to save, I get the message that I can't save the file due to a "bad file handle." I have opened, altered, saved, and closed the form several times before, just not now. No one else was working on the form. The file format is still a pdf and nothing has changed.

I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

Inserting a barcode in a pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro

I have a PDF bookcover created for a printed book, but I'm having trouble inserted the barcode (a eps file , and pdf file ). How do I insert the barcode into the bookcover file in Adobe Acrobat? Please help!

Ok, I created an .eps file, and I'm afraid that I couldn't find a way to insert it into a .pdf; this means you must first convert the .eps file into another image file, e.g. .tiff, .jpeg, .png, or similar. You can do that with Acrobat, although it is easier with Photoshop.
1. Convert .eps file to .tiff file
open .eps file in Acrobat
File | Save as |
Save as type: TIFF (or PNG, or JPEG)
click Save
2. Insert .tiff file into .pdf
open .pdf file in Acrobat
click on Tools, then Content Editing
click Add Image
select the converted .tif file and click Open
the inserted image should become visible; move it to its destination location
see the below image for an ISBN barcode I have just inserted into an empty space of a back bookcover
If it is indeed an ISBN barcode image you need to insert, I highly recommend that you convert your .eps file to a high-quality image type like TIFF. JPEG images can get compressed and create a low-quality image. Low-quality barcodes on books can sometimes not be read by barcode scanners; therefore my recommendation to use a high-quality image.
Let me know if you have any further questions, or need clarification somewhere.

Cannot Edit a Form in Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi - use Livecycle

Hi all,
I was advised to buy Adobe Pro XI yesterday by the Direct Sales Adobe team because it includes "everything I need" to create and EDIT PDF forms. I actually rang up to buy X but was told it was now XI.
I tried to edit a form today and got this message:
"this form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe Livecycle Designer to edit this form"
I was told this was included in Pro but can't get past this message. I previously had a trial of Adobe Pro X and WAS able to edit this very form.
It is very frustrating. I cannot edit anything I have been working on.
FormsCentral seems too basic as I need to be able to edit the field name in the properties of the field.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
David

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,

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!

Editing PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard

I have just purchased adobe acrobat 11 standard after using adobe acrobat 7 for quite a while and I am having trouble finding certain features that I have used a lot in the past. Hopefully someone can give me guidance as to if the features i need were taken out since Adobe 7 or how I can find them in XI.
There is no tab available (“Document” tab) that gives you options to insert, extract, and other related type doc functions. Also, there was a tab of options in the old adobe to insert (and move around) - arrows, lines, ovals, rectangles, etc and also a typewriter function that allowed for easy movement in the document. In XI, there is an add text function but it is not very user friendly (hard to relocate typed data). In the old adobe I had (7), there was also an option to be able to rotate either an individual page or entire document and then save those view selections if you wanted to. Does this program not have these or am I just missing something. It just seems like there isn’t much I am able to do like with the other adobe…. Forgive my ignorance on these matters as there is probably something simple I am just not seeing there.

All this stuff moved under TOOLS. Except the stuff under COMMENT. For instance, insert pages is under the PAGES section of TOOLS. For some reason Adobe thought this would be easier for us all.

How to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
HELP!

Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

Font problem when downsizing file in Adobe Acrobat pro 9

We currently use Quark on our pcs and sometimes when we need to downsize the hi res print ready
pdf to low res. We do this in acrobat but what tends to happen is that the fonts either shift or
go across the page. Can anyone help with this? there are two of us running 9 while the rest of the crew are operating 4,
although I do not think that this is the problem. Can external ads cause a problem?
thanks
Nita

External ads?
Open the original external ads and check for font embedding. If the fonts are not embedded (or subset), than Acrobat has no font data for the spacing and such.
I have to ask however...when you create a "hi res print ready" pdf from Quark...with a placed pdf without fonts embedded (or subset) does Quark not realize or warn you that the fonts are not available?!?

Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended version 9.3.4 reading Inventor 2009

I would like to be able to generate 3D PDF files from Autodesk Inventor CAD models (e.g. .iam files) using Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended. I am constrained to use Inventor 2009. When I originally installed Acrobat Pro Extended, I was able to make this work after installing the IMPORT3D update at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4073
Recently (9/5/2010), I updated Acrobat Pro Extended to version 9.3.4. I believe that following that update, I lost the ability to read in Inventor 2009 files. Acrobat Pro Extended now gives the error messages:
"Exception has been raised" followed by:
"Acrobat could not open 'file' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
This is exactly what happened when I first installed Acrobat Pro extended and before I installed the IMPORT3D update mentioned above. I tried re-installing that update but now the installer gives the error message:
"No qualifying products found to apply this update."
Note that Inventor 2009 does allow one to "Save Copy As" to PDF format, but this just creates a 2D PDF snapshot of the current model view -- same for print to pdf.
I suppose one thing to try is removing Acrobat Pro Extended and then re-installing without the 9.3.4 update, but with the IMPORT3D update -- but if that is necessary, then I won't be able to take advantage of any further updates (e.g. security updates) to Acrobat, which seems like a bad situation.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me?

I may have figured out what was causing my problem with conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF. After playing around with a number of inventor files, I discovered that the conversion worked fine when there were no references to external files. For example a .ipt file (part file) seemed to convert fine. I believe the problem was that on the form one obtains with Edit->Preferences->Convert to PDF->Autodesk Inventor->Edit Settings->Import->Assembly, the check box for "use root file directory" was NOT checked. Oddly, this is the default and I'm pretty sure I tried setting the conversion options to the default. In any case, I now seem to be able to perform the conversion of Inventor 2009 to 3D PDF so this problem is solved I guess.

Playing inserted avi files in Adobe Acrobat 9 or later

A user has inserted avi files into Adobe and it always worked up to version 8.1.
Any version later than that, the avi files will not play anymore.
Is there any way to make them play or will all his files need converted to another source?
Converting them all to a different format would be quite the task as there are many videos involved.
Thanks, Jeff

How do I edit rd3 files in Adobe Premiere Cs5 if I cannot afford to upgrade?

I'm trying to edit Rd3 files in Adobe Premiere pro cs5 I cannot afford to upgrade at this moment. What are the alternatives? Should I export from Redcine X? If so what are the settings that I should follow to edit in cs5? I would be editing at 1080.

It depends; you really need to list your hardware since CS5 speed for various formats is impacted by cpu, gpu, RAM, and drives.
If you final result will only be 1080, then you can certainly downsample up front to ease the work your PC has to do. OTOH, if you ever want to export with the full glory that Rd3 files are capable, editing the Rds files natively is probably the best workflow.
Have you tried changing the playback window resolution way down?
Regards,
Jim
