Find feature in Adobe Reader

How do I use the Find feature in Adobe Reader?  I used the Print PDF feature then copied the file from a Windows 7 computer to a CD-ROM and am trying to use it on a Windows 8 computer.  The file opens but I cannot use the Find feature.  Please help and thanks!

Try opening Adobe Reader on it's own then use File>Open (let's be sure that Reader is opening the file). Does Find work?
If it does, you just need to change your file associtaions so that Reader opens pdf files by default.
Here's how: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default

  • How do I activate the Search/Find feature in Adobe Reader 9.3.1?

    My version of Adobe Reader is 9.3.1.  I am trying to search a document and have used
    the Search feature.  I have put in words that I know are in the document but it keeps returning
    0 finds.  Is there something I have to do to get the Search feature to turn on?
    My e-mail is [email protected]
    I would appreciate an answer.  Thank you.

    When I go to Files>Properties>Security, the following is allowed:  Printing, Content Copying, Content Copying for Accessibility, Page Extraction and Filling of Form Fields.  So what is not allowed is Document Assembly, Commenting, Signing and Creation of Template Pages.
    The Font tab shows:  Courier; Type 1; Encoding: Standard; Actual Font: CourierSTD; Actual Font Type: Type 1.
    And the tool I described does actually highlight in a light blue.  It then turns from what looks like a plus sign with the middle missing into an arrowhead.
    I'm not sure if this is helpful but I hope it is of some use.

  • Where is located "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat XI?

    When you create a form and you want the user to fill it and save it with the filled data, you have to select in Acrobat Pro the menu option "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader".
    But in Acrobat XI There is no "Advanced" menu and I can't find "Extended features in Adobe Reader" anywhere.
    How the hell is it done with Acrobat XI?

    I'm not sure. This one in particular has changed to some extent every time since it was first available with Acrobat 8:
    For future reference:
    A7: Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
    A7: Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter tool in Adobe Reader
    A8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader

    I have the interactive student mathematics CD for the Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0607) Extended from Haese & Harris Publications that requires Adobe Reader and includes a 'Self-help Tutor". I can open all the features using Adobe Reader except the Self-Tutor. I get a pop-up message saying that: I require an app to open "26Unitary Method.app". I can find no mention of this app online so can someone please help me?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the prompt reply.  The CD says that it needs Adobe Reader (and it does read the 'Text book'), but it is not opening the interactive elements. Great!
    I am doing as you suggest and contacting Haese directly. Again, many thanks.

  • How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

    When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

  • How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

    Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
    The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

    Depends on your deployment pattern.  You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed.  If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

    Once this reader Enabled PDF form is uploaded in sharepoint Document library where from user can download this form on their local, open this PDF form is opened in Adobe Reader on their local system the Above mentioned message appears.
    Here we are using trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Can you please confirm if this error is because of this trial version? or some alternate approch.

  • This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed...

    I am trying to distribute an interactive order form to approx. 50 recipients with Acrobat X Standard which I purchased recently.  Computer is Windows 7.
    I can go through the form editing and distribution as usual, but when I (or a recipient) opens up the distributed form with Adobe Reader, they get the message: “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.”
    Oddly enough, sometimes is does work, but 90% of the time it doesn’t.
    And I have another, older XP computer with Acrobat X installed, and it works fine 100% of the time – weird....can anyone help?

    Hi Ken
    We have so many people who have not updated they are trying on 9. I might just have to tell them we can’t support under reader 10.
    Thanks

  • Read out loud feature in Adobe Reader

    Hello all,
    I'm interested in the read aloud feature in Adobe Reader and, specifically, in the ability to transfer a document read aloud into a format that can be burned to a CD.  This for members of our company who travel frequently. Any ideas or insights?
    Thanks,
    J

    Thanks for the response.
    Yes, this is mostly pie in the sky.  We're interested in taking the
    audio from a document read aloud by Adobe Reader and converting it into
    a format that can be burned to CD. I'm assuming that we would simply have to record the aloud reading--but I was wondering if Reader gurus might have a better approach.

  • Extend Features in Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I'm working on a form that has several dropdown lists fields wrapped individually into hidden subforms which become available (visible) once their assigned check boxes are selected. After testing the form, all works just fine. However, the issue I'm running into is actually coming up only after I Extend Features in Adobe Reader. The issue has to do with the dropdown items, in which I'm using a for loop to display my list of items very much in the same way as the "Purchase Order" form that comes with Adobe LiveCycle. The problem is that before extending the features in Adobe Reader, the dropdown list shows all my items populated in my for loop just as planned, however, once I extend the feature in Reader, all the list items appear twice i.e. item1, item2, item3, then, item1, item2, item3 again as if it "shadows" all the items.
    When I noticed the issued in my form, I thought I had done something wrong, but after double checking I confirmed that the issued only occurred on the extended file and not on the original file. So, I decided to test it on the "Purchase Order" form by "Extending Features in Adobe Reader" and and the same thing occurred to the "Part No." items. You can check it out for yourselves!!
    I'd appreciate any help you can give me to solve this issue.
    Thank you!!

    Niall,
    I actually have my script in the "change" event, and it reads "FruitsScript.getFood(xfa.event.newText, LabelSheets".
    I moved it to the "preOpen" event and not only the event keeps firing twice, but I also don't get the second array to display anymore. (LabelSheets).
    This is sort of what I have in my actual form. It is a table that expanded in which header 1 would be my items, and header 2 would display the value assigned in the second array.
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Dropdown List (keeps Firing Twice)
    "LabelSheets" (does not display value)
    Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!!!!!!

  • Extending Features in Adobe Reader disabled

    I am wondering if someone can help me with this issue. I'm currently using Acrobat 9 Pro on a MAC. I saved the pdf document with "Extend Features in Adobe Reader." Editorial (uses PC) open the document using Acrobat Standard and added all the comments needed. I open the document and I can add my comments as well. However, when a freelancer who has Adobe Reader only open the document, she got a message saying "use of extended features is no longer available." Why this is happening? Is this a versioning issue, hardware related or what? Any help would be really appreciated.

    To be able to add attachments you need to Reader Extend the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server. Acrobat does not have that bit in it to allow attachments (it does allow Digital Signing).

  • Can you "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" via Distiller Server 8?

    We use Distiller Server 8 to generate upwards of 500 PDF files (soft proofs of ads) each day. We would like the recipients of these files to be able to attach comments and markup the PDFs as a way of providing corrections back to us. The vast majority of these recipients use Adobe Reader, which means we have to "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" in order for the recipients to be able to do this. Is there any way to enable this feature using Distiller Server 8? If so, how?
    Thanks.

  • Enable advanced features in Adobe Reader

    The Adobe Acrobat 8.0 upgrade enables advanced features in Adobe Reader to a limited number of users.
    Does the LiveCycle Designer 8.0 that comes with Acrobat 8.0 also have this option?

    You cannot add the usage rights from LiveCycle Designer. You have to save the form as a PDF then open it in Acrobat and add the usage rights.
