Form issues in Adobe Pro for Macs

Can someone tell me how to solve an issue regarding Adobe Pro 9 for Macs? I have developed forms in Adobe Pro 9 but they can not be viewed in Adobe but can be viewed in Preview. How can this issue be corrected?

This is interesting, because I've had the same thing happen to forms I've created. In a most recent example, the form was filled out by an external person (someone outside our agency) and returned. When I opened the file, on my Mac, i could see the data entered into the fields. When a co-worker opened the file, on a PC, she didn't see anything and mistakenly thought the form was blank. However you could click into the field and then see that data had indeed been entered into each field.
I opened the file to see if there was something wrong with the appearance properties -- making sure that text color was not blank, and also making sure that I hadn't selected an obscure font. The text color was black and the font was Helvetica. On a whim I changed the font to Times and all of a sudden the data in each field was viewable. However, i changed it back to Helvetica and it remained viewable. So, the act of changing the font made the data fields display; it didn't matter what font I chose. I just had to change it.
When I looked up file properties, i did notice that the PDF Producer is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext, and so does that mean it was opened and fields filled in using Preview?

Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) PDF Printer Problem

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) but it did not install a PDF printer,hence when I use other software such as Word etc I cannot find the PDF printer. Has anyone got a fix for this issue
Thanks

Hi Sailesh,
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion), Adobe PDF is replaced.
See the following blog posting:

Functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac questions?

Greetings! After 35 years in the Windows environment, I became the proud owner of a MacBook air last night, and I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac on it. I would like to know if the features and functionality of the Mac version are the same as those on the Adobe Acrobat Standard that I have been using in my Windows environment for so many years.
The Windows version gives me everything I need, most importantly the ability to add text as annotations into documents that have been scanned and sent to me as PDFs, fill in forms, create forms, etc.
Additionally, can someone help me with the differences between the subscription version and the full purchase version? Does the subscription version have any problems, is it just as functional as the full purchase version?
Thank you so much all!
S.

If you don't have a physical printer hooked up to your Mac you can still do the Save As Adobe PDF with a "faux" printer setup. Here are the steps to set that up:
1. Go to Apple menu>System Preference>Printers and Scanners
2. Press the plus symbol button "+"
3. In the Add dialog select IP at the top
4. in the Address field put the numbers 127.0.0.1
5. In the Protocol pop-up menu make sure that Line Printer Daemon - LPD is selected
6. Leave the Queue field bland for the default printer
7. In the Name field it will say "127.0.0.1" and you can leave it to that or change it to anything you want.
8. Leave the Location field blank
9. Leave the Use field pop-up menu field at the default which is Generic PostScript Printer.
10. Click the Add button
11. You will get the message:
"Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to '127.0.0.1' due to an error.
Would you still like to create the printer?"
12. Click the Continue button.
13. In the Setting up '127.0.0.1...' dialog click the OK button
14. Open up TextEdit
15. Type some test text (e.g. Test Text)
16. In TextEdit Go to File>Print
17. In the Print dialog, press on the PDF button on the lower Left side of the window.
18. Select Save As Adobe PDF.
19. In the Save As Adobe PDF dialog, select your Adobe PDF Settings and whether or not you want the resulting PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then click the Continue button.
20. In the Save window, title your PDF in the Save As: field, navigate to the location you want to save the PDF and then click the Save button.
21. Done.

Reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac

My Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac disk appears to be corrupted. I can't get the installation to run. I have a valid license that I purchased. How can I get a download of Acrobat Pro 9 Mac installation, or a replacement disk? I can't find a solution anywhere on Adobe's site.
Thanks.

Full version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac - serial number not recognized

I just bought the full version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac as a download. I installed it, but it does not recognize the serial number which Adobe sent me!! Does anyone know a solution to this bizarre problem?

Hello again,
Unfortunately, your suggestion doesn't resolve my problem. I never had an older version of Acrobat (9 or 10) installed on this computer, which is a completely new Mac.
The only Acrobat package I had previously is the TRIAL version of Acrobat Pro XI ...
Can you suggest a solution?
Thank you!

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

All downloaded updates to Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS X fail

Here's the first error line from the log:
./preinstall: AcroPatchInstall:ERROR: Could not create intermediate file /tmp/com.adobe.acrobat.viewer.updater/AppPath. Installation failure.
How can I recover from this error and install Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS X version 10.1.? Thanks.

Hi,
Just to be sure here, are you directly trying to install Acrobat 10.1 patch. Do you have Acrobat X (10.0 or any patched version till 10.0.3) installed on your system. 10.1 Patch can only be applied if you have Acrobat X (10.0 or any patched version till 10.0.3) already installed on your system.
Also known issues on Acrobat (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html) says Acrobat can not be installed on case sensitive volume. Is your boot volume case sensitive?
Can you share the entire install log with us. It could be found at "/var/log/install.log".
Thanks,
Karan

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

Acrobat X Pro for Mac fails to scan double-sided

Hello All,
I am having trouble in scanning double-sided through Acrobat X Pro with a Canon MF4880dw installed on an iMac with Mountain Lion.
Here is the procedure I follow:
File > Create > PDF from scanner
in the box "Sides", I select "Both Sides" and check the box for "Prompt for scanning more pages".
When I scan the first side of a multi-page document, I am prompted to indicate whether the scan is complete or I want to scan more pages, but I am NOT prompted to indicate whether I want to scan the other side!
Turning off the option "Prompt for scanning more pages" has the only result of completing the scanning procedure without asking anything else...
I found the following note on the on-line help of Acrobat,
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f71.w .html
Note: You can scan both sides of pages even on scanners that do not themselves support two-sided scanning. When Both Sides is selected, a dialog box appears after the first sides are scanned. You can then reverse the original paper documents in the tray, and select the Scan Reverse Side (Put Reverse Of Sheets) option in that dialog box. This method produces a PDF with all pages in the proper sequence.
This is indeed what I have always done on a Windows 7 computer with Acrobat 8 and a Samsung multifucntion printer, and never ever had any problem.
In fact, I believe that the printer model is irrelevant, as this is an internal setting of Acrobat, and that this is a bug in the Acrobat X Pro for Mac, which must be fixed.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thank you,
Salvatore

Dear Mamak,
Many thanks for the note.
I followed your advice and dowloaded new drivers for my Canon MF4880dw.
The filename was different than yours, because the model was different.
However, I noticed that this last version I downloaded is pretty new (released in April), so I was hoping it would fix the problem. Also, it was the same file for all versions of Mac OS X from 10.5 through 10.8.
Unfortunately, no luck: Acrobat still does not ask me to scan the reverse side. Maybe I should have uninstalled the printer before reinstalling it?
I more or less solved the problem by scanning double-sided documents on Acrobat 7 for Windows (which I also have installed on my Mac), which is not optimal, but at least works.
Any thoughts?
Thank you again,
Salvatore
