FrameMaker has correct fonts, PDFs produced with Acrobat 9 don't.

We're producing PDFs out of FrameMaker 9 into Acrobat 9, using the Frutiger Next font family. With the exception of a single character format, fonts are coming out correctly embedded in the PDFs.
However, in this one case (Frutiger Next Pro Medium), Acrobat appears to be (for no reason we can tell) substituting Frutiger Next Pro Heavy for medium, which makes the resulting PDF look like crap.
When we print from Frame, it looks correct. This only happens when we save as PDF. The fonts are installed on the machine, Frame uses and shows them correctly.
This only happened after we upgraded to Frame 9 and Acrobat 9, and we're at our wit's end trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

If you don't mind, could you please list the OTF Pro fonts that you're seeing problems with.
Arnis,
they are listed with their names in the CMYK pdf. All text that appears in Times doesn't work. So here is the list again, as far as I have tested the fonts:
Not working fonts:
Linotype Fonts:
Helvetica Neue LT COM 57 Cn
Helvetica Neue LT COM 57 CnO
Helvetica Neue LT COM 77 Cn
Helvetica Neue LT COM 77 CnO
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 67 Cn
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 67 Cno
MyFonts Fonts:
Meta Pro (complete family)
Working fonts:
Linotype Fonts:
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 55 Roman
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 55 Italic
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 75 Bold
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 75 Bold Italic
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 57 Cn
Helvetica Neue LT W1G 57 CnO
That's it for the moment...

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

Optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro

I have always been able to optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro until now. It gives me the following error. Runtime error, This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information. I just need to make it smaller as there is a cap on the senders end that I am sending it to. I have also tried the reduce pdf and get the same reply. [email protected]

PDF's with forms can only be optimized with a SAVE AS and the option set to "Save File For Fast Webviewing".
Be sure that option is set and just do a save as and then rename the file back to your original.

Problems opening PDFs created with Acrobat in TFS

Hi,
I know this might not really be a supported issue, but any thoughts you might have would be appreciated!
I've been creating PDFs using Primo PDF and a trial of Acrobat X. I then put them on TFS / MS Visual Studio 2000.
So, when I try to open a PDF I've checked in, the ones I've created in Primo are fine and launch whereas the ones created in Acrobat won't open and an error message about Inconsistent Line Endings is displayed.
It says:
"The line endings are not consistent. Do you want to normalize them....
Line ending: Windows (CR LF)"
The PDFs DO work when I open them from the normal place in the windows file system. However, when I try to "normalize" them by clicking yes, it breaks them completely.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I'm assuming it must be something to do with the conversion or document settings, because this only happens to PDFs created with Acrobat.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.

Please try these and let us know if you face any problems after this.

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process, compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
another one I have.
When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
default from Acrobat or any other software ?
Thank you for your next message.

Hi higi97,
How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
You may try to follow the steps below:
1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Delete the opm.db file.
4.Launch Creative Cloud.
Let us know if that helps,

Question : Adding a signature to a PDF programmatically with Acrobat 8 (Reader 9 validation issue)

Hi,
Please, apologyze my poor english.
I have an application that inserts a signature programmatically in a PDF document with Acrobat 8, via VB .NET, using the example provided in the Acrobat 8 SDK ("AddSignature").
The problem resides in that previous signatures in the document (signed normally via reader 8 or acrobat 8 application), now becomes INVALID, but only in Reader 9.Acrobat 8/Reader 8 considers them as "valid, with posterior changes".
The difference between the SDK example and this code resides only in the way of calling the script in .net
I call directly the AddSignature function with this code (partial), instead of calling the execution of the "ADBESDK:AddSignature" menu (this improves faster execution with no AVDOC object involved):
        AcroExchPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim JsObj As New Object
        AcroExchPDDoc.Open("c:\test.pdf")
        JsObj = AcroExchPDDoc.GetJSObject
        JsObj.SetUserDigitalIDPath("/C/trabajo/DrTest.pfx")
        JsObj.SetUserPassword("testpassword")
        JsObj.AddSignature(JsObj)
        JsOb = Nothing
        AcroExchPDDoc.Save(1, "c:\result_test.pdf")
        AcroExchPDDoc.Close()
I tried to change the AcroExchPDDoc.Save() parameters for intend an incremental save instead of a fullsave, but i keep getting this situtation.
How can this be solved?? Is this a bad approach to the process??
Note that all inserted signatures trough this method are valid in Reader 9.
Any help or comment would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Steven,
There is something I can´t undestarnd about this issue, and hope you can throw some light on it...
If I use the AddSignature method of Adobe 8 SDK by clicking on the new menu option that it creates, these inserted signatures not causes the invalidation message in Reader 9. The used script is the same, so I can´t figure out why.
Once inserted a new signature by ("my") code, it invalidates all previous "normally" inserted signatures trough the GUI, but not invalidate other signatures inserted trough this code (No matter how many signatures of this type are present in the document).
        I suppose that this means only a blank outline tree is inserted, and only the first time I apply the signature.
As an additional info, I´ve attached to this post a new pdf file with one signature normally inserted, and three signatures "code-inserted". (The "result_pdf.pdf" included in previous post, with another two code-signature).
As you can see, all except the first are valid, and any other new signatures inserted in the document (normal or code) won´t result in an invalid statement after the 1st code-insertion.

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

Compare 2 PDFs programmatically with Acrobat XI SDK

Is there a way to compare 2 PDFs programmatically with Acrobat XI SDK? I have read elsewhere in these forums that it was possible in Acrobat 8 using C/C++ methods. If it is not possible with Acrobat XI, can we still use those C/C++ APIs from Acrobat 8 although the Desktop version running is Acrobat XI?
Is an API feature for Compare PDFs in Acrobat XI in the feature list/roadmap?
Any technical details and links to information/references is greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much for your response, really appreciate your help.

So using methods like DigSigComparePages(from the link below) not an option anymore with the current version of Acrobat SDK?

Converting Framemaker 10 book to PDF produces blurry graphics

I've tried troubleshooting this all day and am not coming up with any resolutions. I have a 100 pg book with many screenshots and diagrams. I have imported by reference and typically have to resize on import to fit the anchored frame. I try not to drag to resize. The graphics in the resulting PDF look blurry. Does anyone have any tips on how to sharpen these up? Should I use the PDF Printer with special settings as opposed to the HP printer for producing the PDF. Are there special settings I should be looking at in FrameMaker, Acrobat, printer setup, etc. so they will play well together? There are so many settings and I don't have the expertise (or support) to make modifications.
If anyone has any suggestions that might help, I love to hear from you. Thanks!

How to edit a PDF created with Acrobat XI Pro after signatures have been applied (like I can in 7, 8.0

I have a major issue that I need to resolve before we can purchase Acrobat XI Pro:
Currently, with Acrobat 8.1 Pro, after all signatories sign a document, we add an Effective Date (we add it after they sign since we don't know when the last signature will be acquired and we can't have an Effective Date that is before the date of the last signatory, otherwise, it would be effective before they signed it, which is not possible). I'm also allowed the latitude (as stated in our Documentation Control procedure) to make spelling corrections, hyperlink updates and minor formatting changes (by using the typewriter tool and also by replacing a page that is NOT the signed page if the change repaginates the document or involves modifying a hyperlink that has changed).
In all of the previous versions of Acrobat that we've used (7 Pro, 8 Pro and 8.1 Pro) , this has been easily possible and all changes would be listed under the Signatures tab, which is exactly what we want, which is traceability.
I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro now but am getting the message "This document is signed and can not be edited." If I bring the same PDF that was created from Word 2003 & 2013 using Acrobat XI Pro into 8.1 Pro, though, I CAN add the date, use the typewriter tool and replace non-signed pages, save it and exit without clearing or losing any signatures.
My question is this: How can I do this in Acrobat XI Pro, as XI Pro (in the Signature pane) also lists the changes made to the document when it was edited using 8.1 Pro? (It's OK that the changes made to the PDF then mark the signatures as "invalid", as the reason why they were invalidated is also listed in the Signature pane, e.g. "Form Field Added", which is usually the applied Effective Date.)
Thanks for any help!

Acrobat versions prior to 9 had a bug which allowed you to do what you did. In Acrobat 9 this bug was fixed. In order to do what you want you need to certify (apply special certification digital signature with your certificate -- it is "Certify (Visible/Invisible)" choice in the "Work with Certificates") your document first. In the process of certification you can specify which modification permissions you allow the users of your document to make after signing. Certification signature must be the first signature in the document.

Not able to view PDFs onlie with Acrobat 6 insalled

I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 installed and now whenever I go to view any PDF online I get an error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again"
When I click OK (the only option), Acrobat 6.0 is launched and I still am unable to view the online PDF.
I reinstalled Acrobat Reader latest version, but I'm still getting the same error above.
How can I view PDFs from my web browser with Acrobat 6.0 installed?

With version 7 Adobe changed the active x for webviewing.
So you have to decide if you want to take Reader > 6 for Webviewing or Acobat 6 (where the later make not really sence to me).
I think the last installed version will take over, the other produce only error for webviewing and also embedding.
HTH, Reinhard

Cannot open digitally signed PDF's with Acrobat but can with Reader.

My users have PDF files that have been digitally signed by other users.
When opening these files with Adobe Acrobat Pro, it crashes the application.- a generic referenced memory error on some systems, a DDE server error on others, or a font capture error on others - not sure why the discrepancy there.
The files can be opened with Adobe Reader with no error.
We are at Acrobat 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4.5
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9 and verified the same result with Pro 9.0 so it isn't the version or an update.
I have verified this on multiple machines. - I have even installed both pro and reader on one machine and verified that I could open the PDF file with Reader but not Acrobat Pro.
We can open other PDF files with no problem.
I have tried disabling as much of the security options as possible but still get the same result.
If I clear the PDF file fields (including the signatures) in Adobe Reader then it can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi J.O.S.,
Regarding your question "Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader" the short answer is no.
However, there are other things that Acrobat can do with a file that Reader cannot, so there could be an operation that Acrobat is trying to execute (other than signature validation) which is causing the crash. You don't see it in Reader because Reader doesn't know how to do whatever the offending operation is.
That said, can you send me the file that is crashing Acrobat to [email protected] and I'll see if I can figure out what is amiss.
Thanks,
Steve

Print Multiple Pdf's with Acrobat X pro

I would like to print multiple pdf's from folder but when i highlight like 7 pdf's then do right click there is no option to print. We had this option in acrobat 9 pro.
Also one of the user computer only ahve acrobat reader and that user able to print mulitple pdf's.
How can i fix this? pls help
Thanks

Having a similar issue with Acrobat Pro X, currently version 10.0.3 (I will be updating it tonight). If I right click a PDF and select print, Acrobat launches but doesn't open the document or print. It just opens to the initial screen (where you can open, create, etc). If I right click on a PDF and select Open, Acrobat launches and opens the document and from within Acrobat I can do a File -> Print and it works - so it's just a problem when trying to Print from a right-click.
I can right click on other doc types and it prints just fine, can select multiple files of the same type and they print as well if I right click -> Print. This is only happening with Acrobat so it's not an OS issue. I have the same problem on 2 boxes.
