Export in pdf: looks awful in Acrobat Reader

Hello
I wanna do a simple 1024*768 pdf (from sources i use for iPad app made in Digital Publishing Suite)
WHen iI export in .pdf, there's no way (well, for me, so far) to get the pdf have the right size/dpi ratio than in my original innn document
my document is made for web,, my images as well (all 1024*768, full page)
when i open the pdf (i tried all possibilites in choices i'm given) it looks awful
the acrobat reader says it's 100%, but 100% of what ?
certainly not the100% from my original documlent, it opens way much bigger.
I't only looks good when it's on 66,7% on acrobat reader
Anyone got a clue ?
thanx !

You've set up at 1024 x 768 px doc size? Your PDF should also then have a 1024 x 768 size (it might read 14.22 x 10.66 inches in Acrobat since as far as ID is concerned, pixels = points). Have you scaled the images in ID?
well, when I export from indesign to pdf , i got the choice between "interactive" or "print", I chose interactive, and there's no way to set up anything else appart from pages (all/specify) etc.etc.

Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

Hey everyone,
Greetings!
I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
Frustrated for a week.
PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
1. Overlapping buttons
2. Slow processing due to large image size
3. Mishandling of transparency
At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
Glad to hear it's fixed!

Can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X

can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X? I have tried from Windows Exploer (Windows XP) and it looks like the files are opening but they do not print.

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ???? Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ????? If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
Thank you in advance.

There is not modern program called Acrobat Reader. There is an Adobe Reader program, there is an Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Std) program. Which program are you using? Under which OS?

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

Picture in PDF broken in Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows

Hi,
I always thought that Adobe's PDF-format is the ultimative, interchangeable file format. Well, what a surprise: it isn't:
I have a picture in a PDF document.
It is displayed fine on my Mac in Preview and in Adobe Acrobat 8.
The picture has severe distortions on Windows (eg. current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader).
You can find this PDF here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/285107/Picture.pdf
Please let me know how I can fix this?
Furthermore I would love to know why even Adobe cannot manage to display the PDF correctly under Windows?
Thanks
Daniel

Ok, just to summarize the status of my PDF:
Doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Win XP)
Doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat Reader X (Win XP)
Works just fine in Evince (Win XP)
Works in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro (Mac)
Works in Preview (Mac)
Works in Skim (Mac)
So most of the rederers tested display it correctly. For me that looks like a huge inconsitency in the Adobe Acrobat product family. It is not platform specific, because it does work in Windows as well (using other renderers).
I have two issues with that:
How come that Adobe Acrobat seems to be the only renderer with issues with this file?
Why do some version of Adobe Acrobat display it, while others don't?
To me that really sucks since I trusted the portability of PDF and my own Pro version of AA on my Mac far too much!
My lessons learnt here: Do not use Adobe products since they cannot be used consistently accross platforms (see Flash for another example).
Since the support policy of Adobe does only offer this forum free-of-charge even for obviously valid bugs, I decline to report this (again) as a bug due to my own time constraints.

Can't Open PDF Package In Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3

Yesterday, I created a PDF Package of about 30 documents. When I attempt to open the package using Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3, I get the Data Execution Prevention pop-up message saying that the file cannot be opened. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?

Have not tried that yet. It was next on my schedule. I have another project that I'm working concurrently, but will have some time later today and will try that. Will post the results. Thanks for the suggestion.

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,

PDF Opens Fine in Acrobat Reader (Windows), Won't Open in Acrobat Reader (Playbook)

Hi. Anyone have a suggestion for a PDF file that opens fine in Adobe Acrobat Reader on one platform (in my case, both Windows Vista and Windows 7), but won't open on another (in my case, Blackberry Playbook)? This is a camera operation manual from Pentax: I have downloaded it from Canadian, US and Japanese websites (different file names, same file size), but always get the same result.
Here are some of the details:
1. I can see the PDF file on both platforms, and it's the same size on both platforms (i.e. it's not a copying error creating a null-sized file on the Playbook).
2. Technically, you could say it "opens" on the Playbook, because Adobe Acrobat Reader launches... but the document reads like a zero-page blank file.
3. All the other PDFs I've ever used on the Playbook are fine: I have PDFs with hundreds more pages than this one, and they read and open OK.
I would get around the problem by saving the PDF in a different format, but password protection is preventing me from doing that.
Any suggestions you can offer will be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Kenneth, I am having this same issue but I am in a domain controlled environment. What I discovered is that I had to go to the actual exe file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe then right click on the exe, run as local administrator. Then I got a pop-up talking about this protected mode that I have seen in other places. I chose to ALWAYS open with protected mode disabled. Then my reader opened and worked perfectly. UNTIL I closed it and tried to open it again as my user. My problem is that I can't even get to the settings as my user to be able to disable protected mode. It seems the setting change is user to user not system wide. I hope this helps. Hopefully though I can get some help on being able to disable protected mode for the whole system. I currently can't find a registry key...there must be one!!

Creating a correctly separated PDF from Illustrator in Acrobat Reader 7,8,9

I work in an organisation with users having various versions of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.
We need to create a PDF from Illustrator, I guess by using 'save as', that can be correctly displayed in Acrobat 7 onwards.
A flattened PDF views correctly in all versions, but doesn't allow some users to view separations as it converts to CMYK.
My understanding is that PDF-X could ensure overprint is on, so the PDF will display correctly. But, for versions 7 and 8 overprint preview will need to be activated in order for the PDF to be correctly displayed.
Does anyone know of another solution, in that we could create a PDF, correctly separated and viewable in Acrobat Reader 7, 8, 9.
Thanks

Why are your Reader users using different versions? It's a free download. Get them all on the current version.

Problem in openig some PDF file names in Acrobat Reader

I didn't test in other versions of the OS or with other versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, but in Windows 7 Enterprise (with SP1) 64 bit, vith virtual apllications service installed, when a PDF file has in the name the letters CR (caps), tries to open Adobe Acrobat Reader with the VAppLaucher and says
"Before proceeding you must first lauch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User Licence Agreement",
even with the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader already configured in the local machine.
As soon as I change the name of the PDF file, it works without any problem.

Captivate 5.5 PDF not opening in Acrobat Reader 9.4.5 - why?

Why won't a PDF created in Adobe Captivate 5.5 open in Acrobat Reader 9.4.5? I keep getting an error at work. I am not able to upgrade my adobe reader at work and am wondering if I NEED Acrobat Reader 10 in order to view these PDFs.

My stupidity. Changed a path and still had the old folder on development computers so all appeared fine. That was the issue.

Open a pdf directly in IE11 (ACrobat Reader VI, Windows 8.1)

Hello!
We use Acrobat Reader, Windows 8.1 and IE11 in our company.
Unfortunately no user is able to open a pdf directly with IE11.
Instead of opening the pdf there is a popup which asked what to do with the pdf -open, save or saveas
I couldn't find a way to setup a default action (open)
In earlier versions it was possible to set the option "open in Browser".
This option is missing in AR11.
But why?
How can i set the deafult action?
thx

Hello together!
the problem was still there, so i decided to modify my search.
Fortunately i found a technet-post, which described our problem.
The following solution worked in our enviroment. PDF-documents will now be opened directly in IE11.
In Windows 7 (also Win8.1!!!!!), there is not the key AttachmentExecute by default. For this reason, Checkbox for "always ask before opening this type of file" is missing in the Download prompt window.
Actually, you can choose to add this key in your Registry by following txt, Copy them to notepad, then renamed as .reg file. After that, import to Registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000- C000-000000000046}]
" AcroPDF.PDF.1"=hex(0):
Many Thanks to Roger Lu from the technet community support!
