"Examine Document when closing document" doesn't always remove information.

Hi,
Environment:
Acrobat v9.4.6
Scenario:
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit | Preferences", then enable "Examine Document when closing document". Exit Acrobat.
Use any program (I tested a print to pdf, in both Win7's Wordpad and Microsoft Word 2010) and create a pdf.
Open that pdf, make a minor change, perhaps with Typewriter.
Exit document and select the third "Examine Document" dialog option of "Remove the information, then close the document".
Adobe Acrobat prompts "Do you want to save changes to 'whatever.pdf' before closing". Click Yes button and save the pdf.
Problem:
You would think the personally identifieable information and various metadata would have been automatically removed because you selected the third "Examine Document" dialog option of "Remove the information, then close the document". However the information it is not removed. If you analyize the pdf, you will still find (for example) that your Windows login name is in the pdf. "Document | Examine Document" function will also show that it's still in there also.
Observation:
If on exiting a modified pdf, and you select the second "Examine Document" dialog option of "Remove the information, but do not close the document", at least before the document fully exits, you are presented with the "Document | Examine Document" function, where you can then remove metadata via the checkmarks and remove button.
What's up with the "Problem" ?
Regards,
Brcobrem

HI Bill@VT,
In my original post, I said:
Exit document and select the third "Examine Document" dialog option of "Remove the information, then close the document".
Adobe Acrobat prompts "Do you want to save changes to 'whatever.pdf' before closing". Click Yes button and save the pdf.
At the point that I '...Click Yes button and save the pdf", Adobe exits.

    I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

    Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?

  • Multiple Portal Authentication when closing Word document

    Hi all,
    We are on EP6 SP2 Patch4 HF7 and CM HF6.  When closing a MS Word document accessed from the KM Repository multiple Portal authentication popups appear.  This only happens to Word documents.  Other documents like Excel, Powerpoint, pdf etc. close without any popups.
    The problem only happens when going through the IISProxy filter.
    Does anybody have any ideas ?
    Thanks
    Jose

  • When closing a Word doc can you stop 'Do you want to keep this new document?'

    Hi,
    Everytime I close a Word document I keep getting the save document dialogue box appearing with the text 'Do you want to keep this new document [filename]?You can choose to save your changes, or delete this document immediately. You can’t undo this action.'.
    How can you stop this? I just want to be able to open a Word document, view it and close it without the hastle of being asked if I want to save it or delete it.
    Thanks for any help on this.
    P.

    Hi Pete,
    When you open a Word document in Pages, it is converted to Pages format. Pages is asking if you want to save as a Pages document (and replace the Word document). You can stop the Save dialogue box by:
    System Preferences > General > Uncheck Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
    However, I would be careful. This will apply to all documents that you open in Pages (or Numbers or other apps). You might have a Pages document where you do want a reminder to save. Small problem to say 'Don't Save' to a Word document that you open to view, but don't want to save. I find it is safer to turn on 'Ask to keep changes when closing documents'. That puts you in charge of your work.
    Another way to just view a document is to open the document in Preview or TextEdit (right click or control click, Open With).
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Who knows how to make Word the default when closing Apple Works documents?

    step by step if you don't mind? i've never used Apple Script. is this the solution?
    thanks and Happy New Year

    Your question about making Word "the default when closing AW documents" is a bit unclear.
    An AppleWorks document is an AppleWorks document. If you want it in Word format, you must explicitly save a copy of it as such (and also append the .doc suffix to the proposed file name).

  • The 'Do Not Email' when sharing a Document does not always allow a check mark to be entered.

    The 'Do Not Email' when sharing a Document does not always allow a check mark to be entered.
    Just wanted to report this. I have not checked to see if it has been previously submitted. The issue
    is intermittent.

    I think this happens because you need to send e-mail when you do the first contact with the user. Tellimg him who you are and etc.
    When you already "know" that user, u can check the box.
    Hope it helps,

    Hi,
    in Acrobat 11, the application frame with the toolbars, tools, ... was hidden as soon as a document has been closed with CMD + W on the Mac. In Acrobat DC, the Home window appears when closing a document with CMD + W and I need to hit the same again to hide/close the application frame.
    How could I revert to the old behavior?

  • "Do you want to save changes" always poping when closing home made PDF

    Hi,
    I create a pdf by myself in one of my application (only external lib used is zlib for deflate streams)
    I tried to follow the PDF references.
    It's a simple PDF file with a few pages, some text & lines to underline (deflated or not same problem), and 3 fonts, a xref.
    The PDF is showing perfectly in the Reader X 10.1.1 but when i try to close the window it always asks me :
    "Do you want to save changes before closing".
    All save options are disabled in the preferences of the reader.
    Is there anything to do in the reader to avoid this ?
    Is there anything to do in the PDF itself to avoid this ?
    Or maybe the PDF is not completly correct ? Which is possible even if i tried to follow the specs in the official reference document, there are alot of chances that i may have done something wrong.

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

  • "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" doesn't work

    Under Tools > Options > Tabs, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected. Also, in about:config, browser.tabs.warnOnClose is set to "true". I always have multiple tabs open. However, sometimes my hand slips or the mouse falls off the table and Firefox closes without any warning.

    I had this problem too a few monthes ago,
    sorry don't remember how I solved the problem...
    BUT a general TIP is that you sometimes should fully reinstall Firefox from the scratch.
    I mean save your bookmarks (json), have a list of your add-ons,
    preferably with their url too, and one for your plugins too, everything safe in a folder in your documents...
    And only then "shoot away" Firefox from your computer, profile included...
    make a full cleaning of everything belonging to Firefox.
    (with Glary utilitises, CC cleaner or any soft alike)
    Reinstall everything with the latest Firefox.exe !
    This especially if you're used to ( as I am) try new adds, make changes
    in about:config... and so on.
    I guess it comes because with the "normal way of updating", which I suppose is the case for most people, just to download the updates, Firefox, after a few monthes,
    starts to mess a little things around.
    And even "Speedyfox" nor defragmentation can't help that much...
    Personnaly, I don't like so much to do it, but like that, usually my Firefox works fast and well.
    Another solution is to use "FEBE" add-on...
    I wish this "general tip" will help some of you, or at least give some indications,
    on how you want to solve some Firefox problems :-)
    Note : depending on how many add-ons you have, this may take ~30minutes up to 3 hours (:-(), if you have never saved anything before (list from your adds).
    PS Me ? I save everything quiet often, because I once lost, years ago, everything concerning Firefox because I did a main mistake (lost all my bookmarks)... and told myself : Not Twice... :-)
    Happy Christmas ! :-)

  • Using Examine Document Remove increases pdf file size !

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v9.3.0
    I've been editing a lot of scanned .pdfs - rotating and cropping pages.
    All this has previously worked fine with v8 but now I find that Acrobat 9 is increasing the .pdf file size after using Examine Document and clicking Remove
    For example:
    original file: 16,861 Kbytes
    file after cropping 74 pages (from A4 to A5): 16,879 Kbytes
    file after running Examine Document > Remove cropped metadata : 79,914 Kbytes !!!
    With Acrobat 8 this process would normally have halved the file size.
    Am I now doing something wrong ??
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello - This problem is still here !
    Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.4.2
    I've got a .pdf created by an agency (so not a scanned image) which I want to make as small as possible for emailing to hundreds of people (I'll attach it if possible somehow ?)
    I open it up when it's 331Kb
    Click Document > Examine Document
    Check the Metadata and Deleted/Cropped items
    Click Remove
    Click File > Save As and hey presto, the new file with all that stuff supposedly removed is 2,588 Kb
    Surely I'm not the only one who's bothered about .pdf file size ?

  • Billling document doesn't exits after system refresh -Message no. VF041

    Hi ,
           We recently refreshed our QAS system and from then on we are having a strange problem .
    The issue is whenever I create a billing document ,it gives me a document number ,but when I try to view this in Vf02/03 it says "Document doesn't exists"
    when I checked the dump in ST22 , it says "A RAISE statement in the program ( Z print program for Invoice)raised the exception  condition "FILE OPEN ERROR".
    I went and changed the  Dispatch time to "Send with periodically scheduled job or Send with application own transaction " and it works . But Whenever the dispatch time is "Send immediately" it fails and throws a dump.
    Have anyone come across this error .We are getting this problem everytime after refresh .
    Thanks

    Since the error message occurs in your custom (Z...) program, you will have to talk to your ABAP developers about that. My guess is that file name or path is stored in some table, which is probably wiped out or updated with Production data during the refresh. Then, when the program cannot find the file (because QA doesn't have access to PRD file server, for example) or doesn't have access to the specified location, it throws an error.
    This is not an SD question and I seriously doubt anyone in this forum will be able to answer.

  • Firefox 8 and the "Warn when closing...multiple tabs" preference check box still doesn't work?

    I'm aware that I can go into the about:config screen and toggle a couple of settings but the real question is "Why is this still a problem since version 4?" Why bother to have Preferences at all, if the given solution is always to tweak the config?

    This hint was posted on a similar link that works for me. Here is what to do:
    In option -> privacy -> choose "use custom history setting" and choose your preference for history and cookie setting. and then click "OK'.
    Then you will get the warning when closing multiple tabs.
    It doesn't seem to be related but it does affect the operation of the other part of the software that issues the warning.
