Flash menu in Acrobat 9 PDF???

Hi,
I want to create a Flash navigation menu in an Acrobat 9 document. The menu is on every page. I have the flash part done and the PDF is made, but how do I get the buttons in flash to jump to the correct page in Acrobat? Is this something I can do?
Basically, i want my flash Button 1 to jump to page 3, Button 2 to jump to page 6, and so on.
So far, from what I have read, I have to get Acrobat to talk to Flash's action script via JavaScript (in acrobat)? Is that correct? If so, can you give me some sample code that I can work off of? Or point me in the right direction? Anything will be good.
Thanks so much

Flash preview failing on PDF file

I have what appears to be a perfectly valid PDF file for
which Share seems unable generate a Flash preview.
The PDF file was created with a fairly old version of Acrobat
(PDFWriter 2.0 for Macintosh), but displays without error with
Acrobat 8 on Windows XP. When viewed in Share, I see message
"Creating Flash Preview" -- as is typical when a document is first
uploaded -- but the message just stays there, with no preview
created.
Here's the link to document:
https://share.adobe.com/adc/document.do?docid=214420ef-9544-11dc-88f8-9b7d3e789675

OK. Open your PDF with Preview and at the top of the window (near the file's title) you will see Locked in grey.
Click on it and in the menu that appears click Unlock.
It looks like this in OS 10.7.3 :
For information you can view the permissions of a PDF file in Preview by choosing in the menu bar Tools > Inspector, and then click Encryption (the lock).
Hope this will help.

Install Flash Player in Acrobat Reader XI

Hi all,
I've several users facing a problem in Reader XI when reading PDF with RMA.
When they open the PDF, a yellow bar appears at the top saying “To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player”. Clicking on “Learn More”, we have two situations:
Win XP: nothing appends it just hangs Reader… then people goes into the normal flash player page, install it but it don’t fix the problem.
Win 7: opens the community help tool, with the “Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader X” page, following the instructions “Right-click the link below for your operating system: “Windows: Flash Player Installer for Windows “ , there are no “Save Link As or Save Target As ” context menu, and clicking on it nothing appends…
The only way (for Win7) is to copy&paste the url into a browser then follow the instructions, but this is not something trivial… and user doesn’t succeed & goes away…
Is there any planning to make this process easier?
Thanks, regards,
GLoureiro

The link URL in the community help page ( http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_flashdownload_installer_win ) does a redirection so it picks up the latest version of the installer - which is why it won't report as a downloadable item when you context-click it in some browsers. However just clicking the link will force download of the bootstrapper.
On Windows XP if the message bar link within Reader isn't doing anything, it suggests the help system isn't working on that installation. Manually installing the regular Flash Player plugin will work but you MUST choose the version for Firefox, not the version for Internet Explorer.

Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi star2111,
Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Printing to acrobat pdf locks up computer

I have Acrobat 8 with Win XP. Has worked fine in the past, but lately when I try to print a document to Acrobat PDF it jsut locks up my computer and never prints. It seems to stay in the spooler forever. I tried turning off background printing, updating (no updates avail), and doing a repair install. Nothing works.

Hi Steve,
Please try the steps mentioned below in order and see if it helps.
1)Click on \"Start > Control Panel.\" Click on \"Printers and Faxes
2) Delete The Adobe PDF Printer
3) Go to the Print Server properties by Clicking on the file menu.
4) Go to Drivers and delete the Adobe PDF Printer Driver ( Do not delete the Package, remove only the drivers)
5) Now repair the Acrobat installation.
6) This would add the PDF printer again, now try printing.
Also, if it does not add the PDF Printer, try to add it manually using (The below mentioned URL is for 64 bit machine the path Program file X86 would be Program Files for 32 bit)
Acrobat: PDF Printer missing after installation on Windows 64-Bit

Acrobat pdf 9.0 has stopped working

Hi
I recently upgraded to CS4 and Quark 8.
Yesterday my Q8 files were happily printing out using Acrobat pdf 9 (and had resolved an irritation in 8 where no files including the character '/' would print).
Today every file I try to print gets stopped in the printer queue and can't be restarted.
I've called tech advice,been referred to article KB403918, have chucked the preferences, repaired permissions etc etc. But still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Follow Torben Directions to see if you can create a PDF, first
But you don't Just have an Acrobat Problem.
Do the following:
Go to Printer Utility and remove any and all versions of Adobe PDF, from list. Quit Printer Utility
Now open your newest version of Acrobat you have installed (all older versions will work with the newest PDF Print Driver, but not the reverse.
Now open Acrobat ang to help menu and choose Repair and Replace. when open uncheck everything except Adobe PDF.
once repaired go back to Printer Utility and verify adobe PDF has been added. Quit printer Utility
Now try creating a PDF.
As for Word if you have 2008 (don't uninstall Word2004), It has its own PDF Converter now. Go to Save As... and choose PDF from list .
BTW: Word 2008 is now up to 12.2.1 version and Word 2004 is now up to 11.5.9

Convert a Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF

Hi,
I am assigned to the task of converting Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF. I tried all options know to me but cannot succeed. The forms in LC designer is a fillable form with two buttons at the bottom. (Print & reset). The controls on the forms are
Textbox
Checkbox
Print & reset buttons
I tried the following options
print to a new pdf but the form became non-fillable with no controls
importing into acrobat as new form but it said "document contran xml form and cannot be imported"
tried save as with no success
I am willing to re-do the form but trying to minimize the re-work
The add or edit fields on form menu is not available for the form generated in live cycle.
we want to get rid of all live cycle dependencies and stick to bare bones acrobat
Please help

The only way I can think of woudl be to print the XFA form to PDF (using the Print driver that comes with Acrobat). This will create an AcroForm PDF for you but all fields and structure wil be lost. This will give you the boiler plate, then you can use the Form Tools in Acrobat to lay fields on top of the form.
Note that if you want to change some of the boiler plate you will have to go back to Designer and repeat the process. You may want to bite the bullet and redo the form now.

Unable to install Active X and Flash Plugin for Acrobat

I would like to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. However, once I have selected the files I get a notification that states, "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." When I click the buttom "Proceed to download page," it brings me to this page: Acrobat Help | Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader XI
The problem is, the two download links for Windows don't seem to be working. Is this an across the board issue or is it just me? How can I go about installing these required plugins?

Hi asbryk,
I checked the link to install flash player and it is working fine.
If the 'Flash Player Active X' and 'Flash Player Plug-ins ' are already installed in your system, then first uninstall them.
For that, please go to Control Panel>Programs and Features and click uninstall.
Also, check whether you have an updated Acrobat version i.e. 11.0.09 by clicking Help>Check for Updates
Now, restart your system and install the Flash Player from the same link you tried earlier.
I hope this will work fine now.
Regards,
Anubha

Flash Player in Acrobat Pro?

Hi there,
I have very carefully installed (and uninstalled... and installed...) the latest flash player on my computer.
I am also running Adobe Design Premium CS4.
I note the flash player doesn't appear in the list of players in my acrobat settings.
I have a pdf file with flash content which does not open in Acrobat. Instead i get the following message:
This takes me to a website (http://cgi.adobe.com/special/acrobat/mediaplayerfinder/mediaplayerfinder.cgi?) where I am told: "We're sorry, but the third-party media player required to play the selected media file in your Adobe PDF document isn't available for your system. No media player will be downloaded at this time."
My pdf file works on any other computer i've tried... all of these computers have Flash Player shown in the list of potential 'preferred media players' above.
I've carefully followed the instructions for removing flash (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), and for reinstalling it. No joy yet.
My conclusion is that flash is not installing correctly into Acrobat. I've posted questions and a support case with the Acrobat team, but they have suggested it is a flash player issue.
Can anybody help me resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Geoff

Believe it or not, here is the solution to the problem:
I installed flash player with Mozilla Firefox. This doesn't install flash for internet explorer, or Acrobat.
The internet explorer flash install also installs flash player in Acrobat, whereas the Mozilla Firefox flash install doesn't.
So the solution:
Go to the flash website in Internet Explorer, and download the flash player.
Then everything works fine!

Disable Mouse Right click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

Hi All,
We are rendering Adobe live cycle pdf file inside html object tag.
I have disabled toolbar , navigation bar using navpanes=0&toolbar=0.
But when mouse right click reenable the context menu again.
So Is there any way to disable mouse righ click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF browser plugin?

I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

Acrobat PDF FIle Format is having difficulties...

I've got an error that appears pretty reliably. I open a multi-page PDF file in Illustrator, choosing one page to edit. I save that page with a new name as a PDF file, and that works fine. Now, if I edit the file at all and save it again, I get "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Bad parameter." And there's no way to save the file.
If I close without saving and open the single-page PDF file again, it usually behaves well. But any time I get that message I lose all of the unsaved changes and have to repeat them.
I'm using CS3, version 13.0.2. OS 10.4.10. Any assistance is appreciated...
Rodney

I've had the same problem in various versions of Illustrator on the Mac, up to and including CS3. Based on the previous comment, this appears to happen only if your Illustrator document starts life as a generic PDF file. So this is my solution (which worked today for me).
Make sure all layers are visible and unlocked.
Copy all your artwork to the clipboard (Select -> All then Edit -> Copy, or cmd-A then cmd-C)
Create a new document with the same dimensions as your original one.
Show the layers palette, and choose "Paste Remembers Layers" from the popup menu.
Paste your artwork into the new document (Edit -> Paste or cmd-V)
Save the new document.
You should be able to edit and re-save the new document whenever needed after that, although you may find that the file is larger than the original one.
