File attachments and Acrobat Reader

I have prepared a PDF form that needs an associated Word document to be filled in as well. At the moment, I have done this by providing a hyperlink button on the PDF form and this works fine. However, it requires that both the PDF form and the Word file are kept in the same folder.
I have tried to use the Acrobat attachment feature, but I have only managed to view the Word file from the Reader (Rights Enabled). I can save the Word file with another filename, but there doesn't seem to be any way to attach the updated Word document when using the Reader. As a result, I am left with the issue of two separate files (PDF and revised Word document).
Have I struck a limitation of Acrobat, or is there ahy way around this?
Thank you
Gordon

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''

  • Can't open files in Adobe Acrobat/Reader

    Why can't I open a PDF file in Adobe/Acrobat Reader? What do I do to fix the problem? My software list has Adobe Reader 11.0.02 and 9.3.1.
    I've updated.

    Adobe is not an Apple product.  Post in Adobe forums.  It's where the Mac users hang out at. 

  • How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

    I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
    Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
    Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
    Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
    Any help is very Appreciated

    eh,
    The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
    I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
    foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
    That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
    Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
    If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

  • Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

    hi
    Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
    I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
    I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
    According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
    But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
    So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
    Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
    However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
    This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
    To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
    But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
    Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
    thanks,
    Asatamax

    The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
    (1) Open Adobe Reader
    (2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
    (3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
    (response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
    I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

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

  • This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality

    All PDF files uploaded to our Adobe Connect Content libraries (hosted) are displaying a window with the message "This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality".  I have 2 hosted accounts and both have this issue (which started today). We were upgraded to version 9.1 over the weekend also. Is anyone else seeing this and do you know of a resolution?

    Update: We have not been able to confirm whose update (MS or Adobe) caused this issue, but the  one of the resolutions (enabled Reader Add-on) has broken something else.
    Enabled add-on: Enabling the Reader add-on resolved the issue of not being able to view PDFs, but now prevents the PDF from opening in the application. Instead, it now opens in the browser, which causes links on the PDF to open the linked file in the same window. That results in the return of those end user support issues. http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Reader: In some cases, enabling the Reader Add-on did not resolve the issue until Reader was uninstalled and/or reinstalled.
    We hope this information helps others.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of the Adobe Advertisement that now appears in all PDFs that open in the browser? Note: It does not appear in all versions of Reader (e.g. Reader 9)?

  • Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader bug over HTTPS

    Hi all,
    I have a web application which generates PDF files over an HTTPS connection and displays them inside the browser window. This application worked fine in Safari 3 and with Acrobat Reader 8. Now with Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader 8 or 9, the window stays white (Reader 9) or black (Reader 8) or displays an eternally spinning cursor. When i switch to Preview , it works fine. Right clicking on the PDF then and asking to display it in Acrobat also works fine, so I think it might be related to Safari 4.
    Anyone had the same problem, or anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem.

  • Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

    After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
    Acrobat Reader 9 problems
    I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
    I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
    Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
    When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
    I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
    How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

    Amanda,
    As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
    The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

  • File browser crashes every time browsing directories within Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a bug. Every time I try to browse directories within application (ex. adding an attachement in Thunderbird, or Savin As within Acrobat Reader), that file borwser crashes.
    But for Microsoft Word, which seems to use other module for Saving (I am assuming that, becouse that "save as"  window looks different), there is no such problem.
    Anybody else is experiencing such crashes?
    Cheers,

    I'm experiencing the same problem.. haven't found a solution yet. It drives me crazy.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 and Acrobat Reader 9.0 crashing when trying to print

    The subject line says it all, but I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard 10.5.5 and now when I select File | Print I get the spinning beach ball than Acrobat crashes. Now oddly, if I use Acrobat Reader 7.0.9, it prints perfectly. But have Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 crash every time the File | Print is selected is a major problem. And no, not even the dialog box comes up first, Acrobat just goes down.
    Has anyone else seen this? I saw in the forum others were have problems creating PDF's, something I haven't done yet.

    Try the following: (I have no idea if it will help but might be worth a shot.
    Its possible That you need to update the driver shown in Printer Utility.
    Locate Adobe PDF 8.0 (what evr the latest version is.
    Now delete from Printer Utilities List, and quit Printer Utility.
    Now open Acrobat 8.1.2 and go to help menu.
    Now choose reapir or Replace.
    uncheck PDFViewer and check Adobe PDF
    Now click okay to repair.
    If you have acrobat 9. all previous acrobat versions will work with the Adobe PDF 9.0 Driver just fine. It just will not try to use new features added since 9.0.
    Also, It possible that your Print Driver for your printer has been updated with the new Sysytem Upgrade.
    If so remove the printer listed from the Printer Utility List.
    the click on add printer. look for the driver for your printer listed choose make default then quit.
    Try Acrobat 8 again and then go to set up menu see if you can find your printer listed. is so choose and save as default.
