FIND FEATURE ON ACROBAT READER X

I am trying to determine why I cannot use the search feature on AR X on pdf documents that I have created on my own multifunction machine. Can anyone help?

Most likely because the documents are the result of a scan and did not undergo OCR (Text Recognition), so they don't have any real text to search for. Can you select the text in the documents using the mouse? If no, then you can't search for it, either.

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

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 to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

Have a PDF I created wit
h Livecycle. I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
bled? Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9. When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode. Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

How can I activate the text reflow feature in Acrobat Reader For Ipad

Sorry, no text reflow on an iPad. Most PDF files don't reflow. I read tons of PDFs on Macs and never reflow them.

Disable online services/features in Acrobat Reader DC?

With the new update being released from Reader to Acrobat Reader DC, I have concerns with the use of cloud storage and storing sensitive data.
I have looked around and the only information I have found for disabling these new features are in reference to groups who use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, which means they would be running an Enterprise version.
I have installed and tested the new Acrobat Reader DC on both Windows and OS X, there are no obvious options for disabling the services that I am referring to.
Services I am referencing:
Adobe cloud storage service
Sending and tracking documents
Syncing across multiple devices (by use of cloud storage)
Is there a way to disable the use of these services on an individual (non Enterprise) install of Acrobat Reader DC?
Thanks in advanced!

You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC on both Reader DC (Classic or Perpetual) versions.

You can also use the Windows Registry to turn these services OFF.

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.

Bad "feature" in Acrobat Reader and Flash downloads

Please turn off the "auto-delete" function of the Adobe Reader and Flash downloads. I have a slow Internet connection and the downloads often time out when getting the install. I then have to go back to the site and download the .exe file all over again, as it auto-deletes whether it was successful or not. Very frustrating!

Hi again! I downloaded Mozilla and am VERY pleased with it. Can't believe how much better it is working than IE (I shouldn't be surprised, I know). Thank you very much! I did actually get Flashplayer 7 and once I figured out where to put it it does definitely make a difference. Had to put other things in the plug-ins folders of the browsers too. I still have a lot to learn!! It will still take a little getting used to use Mozilla. I had a little struggle with setting up the toolbar but I seem to have gotten over that hurtle. Should be interesting to see what the kids say when they use it.
After all this, it looks like we are actually about ready to order a new iMac. I realised though that if I want to keep this one running in such form as to be able to print homework assignments, etc. I will need to upgrade to OS 10.3.9 in order to use the new printer. The old one came with the computer in Aug. 01 and is unreliable these days but new ones will likely not install on OS 9.2.2 (sigh). So what would it involve to upgrade? Pure Mac did not have downloads for Panther (smile). I also did not find it in the Apple Store when I searched for it. Amazing how well the Apple Store works on Mozilla! I am so excited!!
Thanks again for all your help.

Wrong keyboard shortcut in View menu - Acrobat Reader XI

A bug in View menu - don't say it's a feature!
I've been trying to use keyboard shortcuts to navigate in Reader XI View menu - for painstakingly Show/Hide -> Toolbar Items (before I found you can accomplish this with a right-click on the Toolbar).
Only to realize in View menu there are two sub-menus with the same 'S' keyboard shortcut assigned: Fill & Sign and Show/Hide. Obviously pressing 'S' key the first time opens the Fill & Sign pane and then the View menu closes, so can't use 'S' key to open Show/Hide for more options.
Why couldn't the design devs chose a distinct letter for all the submenus in View? Where was their mind? Is Adobe outsourcing the design, too (to me it 'smells' Asian).
PS: could not find a 'Suggest a feature' for Acrobat/Reader on Adobe site, I got redirected to this forum instead.

Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?

Hello AC,
You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?

Hello,
I am new to my job working with a ASP application that provides a PDF form (created in Acrobat 5) to users with free form fields the user can fill out. Users have been complaining that when the users upgrade to Acrobat Reader 9 the begin to see a message that "Some features are no longer supported..." and the ability to save a local copy of the file is no longer available. I have 2 questions.
Was the ability to save a local copy of a form with user-entered data ever a feature of Acrobat Reader?
Is that an issue that can be corrected by creating the form with the Acrobat 9 Life-Cycle engine or is that a feature that has forever been removed from Acrobat Reader for security or other reasons?
Thanks in advance!
- Yohancef

No I was referring to filled in forms.
So to be clear, the ability to save user filled in information in a form to your local machine as a PDF through Acrobat Reader IS possible, but has to be enabled by opening the form in Acrobat (9 for example) and enabling some feature to allows Reader users to save the information to the PDF file. This feature is limited though and has a 500 use limit per form.
Does that sound correct? Do you know the name of the feature?
Thanks!

Subject: Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?
There may be some features that are not supported any more but you may not be using them. That message is just a general warning.
As far as saving the filled in form, Reader on it's own has never been able to do it. You would need the newer version of Acrobat to open and enable these forms so that Reader users can save them. Be warned that this feature is meant for small-time use and has a usage limit of 500 submissions per form. You'll want to read and undestand the EULA before planning on using it.
Or do you mean that they cannot save the unfilled form either?

How to allow Acrobat Reader to "Save As"?

I have created a PDF with drop down menus, text fields, ect using LiveCycle 9. When I transfer the pdf to a different machine that just has "Acrobat Reader 8" on it, I get the caption on the top that reads:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed in this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
I want people to be able to open the form, fill out the form and then "save as" so they can retain a copy of the form they have just completed and if need be edit the text fields they are able to type in at a later date.
Any help would be great.

John,
Check out the Acrobat license. Using Adobe Acrobat Standard(?) or Professional you can "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader". This is intended for ad-hoc forms of no more than 500 users or uses (please check this out).
If this applies to you, then generate the form in LC and then open it in Acrobat and go to the Advanced menu and you will see the extend option.
Users with the Reader version will then be able to save the form.
Regards,
Niall

Exporting pdf in Indesign that allows commenting & saving in Acrobat Reader

I have a feeling there isn't a way to do this but I thought I would ask in case there is. I was wondering if you can export a pdf in Indesign CS4 that someone who is using Acrobat Reader X can comment and then save. I know you can open the pdf in Acrobat Pro and select Advance>extend features in Acrobat Reader and that will work but I was wondering if there was a way to skip this step.
Thanks!

No.

Forcing on Highlight Fields upon Open and Saving in Acrobat Reader

I'm using the Actions panel in the Page Properties to turn on the Highlight Fields when my PDF document is opened using:
if (!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
and this works perfectly, however this document is being viewed mostly in Acrobat Reader. In order to allow my users to save the content in the forms I turned on, "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader".
The first time this new file is opened, the field highlights turn on, however after content is saved to the forms and the document is resaved the Highlight Fields no long turn on when the document is opened.
How can I utilize both of these options even after the file is resaved?
Thanks

It should work better if you add this script as a document-level script, instead of a pageOpen script.
However, keep in mind that you are changing an user's preference setting, which is considered to be not so nice.
Hope this can help.
Max Wyss.
