General Adobe Acrobat questions

Hi, just heard about this seemingly unreal program as a
possible way to help streamline some of our office
procedures/paperwork. Two main questions.
1. Is Adobe designer bundled in with the Acrobat 9?
2. Licensing -- we have a work server, is it something that
one can be put on server and everyone access or would we need to
buy a license for every computer. It would only need to be about 10
users max.
Appreciate the feedback in advance.
Thanks, Joy

Hello Joy1974,
Thank you for posting!
Allow me to inform you that these forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do
not relate the Acrobat family of desktop products.
Ultimately, this question would best be asked in the Acrobat
Forums.

Thanks, and Regards,

Adobe Acrobat Question(s)

I am evaluating Adobe Acrobat 9.0, but I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to simply resize an inserted picture? (Like I can do easily with Word?) Specifically, I'd like to be able to set the height and width in pixels, not have to resize with the mouse.
2. Is it possible to add a frame around a picture, like I can with Word?
3. Is Adobe Acrobat Extended available in one of the Creative Suites?
Thanks in advance....

Most of what you want to do can be done, but not easily. To adjust the size of a graphic, the graphic has to be included as an image on a button, not as a main part of the document. As is mentioned by the other post, what you are trying to do is not the purpose of Acrobat. The main purpose is to create a portable document format that can be read by almost all. When you start trying to do other things, you are going beyond the original intent.

How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like? Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase. I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
1. After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below. Why?
2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
   This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
File
> Create
   > PDF from scanner
     > Custom scan
       > Color Mode: Black and White
       > Append to existing file
         > Browse
           > Select file
             > Scan
This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan. Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option. Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance). Please assist.
3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
   Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
3a See Error. Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White. Why?
3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product? The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product. Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online. I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options? Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities? Even after clicking "Ready to contact us? Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them. Regardless, please advise. Thanks!

Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter Question

Hello,
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter 6.0 installed on a WinXP machine. I am also using Windows Search 4.0. My question is on how to create an embedded index of PDF files so that I may search with a keyword through 100 PDF files as an example. This is actually my last resort after searching thoroughly on the web. I have read articles ranging from editing the registry to how to create a single index within Adobe Acrobat for a single PDF file. Again I am looking to create one index that consists of multiple PDF files. If any can help me I would very much appreciate it. I just say to myself that at some point in time some programmer must have said to himself, can I search for a keyword through 20 PDF files on a desktop system or server?
Thank you,
Peter

Hey john,
Please try downloading Acrobat 8 from the following link:

Any comments ?????
This did not happen in version 10.

Can you post to a URL with a snapshot image of what you're seeing? You can post the image on Acrobat.com for free and then share the URL here.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard Question - Converting PDF to word document

Question: I currently have Adobe Acrobat 8. I need to convert a PDF to word document. I know how to do that but the outcome of the word document sometimes varies as to retaining the exact formatting. How can I retain exact formatting? Is there something that I'm not doing that I need to be doing in order to retain the formatting. Also do newer versions (Adobe Acrobat 11 (Standard or Pro?)) do a better job of converting and retaining formatting?

Retaining the exact formatting is not possible in practice or in theory because Word documents are nothing like PDFs. For example, Word will cheerfully reflow text onto new lines or pages, while this will never happen with a PDF.
That said, Adobe keep trying to get closer to what people need. Sometimes this results in complex parts of the file being made into an uneditable graphic or text box.
Bottom line is you can get the basics into Word and then (according to your time, experience, and the abilities of Word) you might be able to reconstruct.
On no account convert official forms to Word.

Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard? No one seems to have answered this question in the trending questions.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat because it was recommended to password protect files.
However, when I checked out the Tools > Protection > Encrypt> "Encrypt with Password" is greyed out.
Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?
The OS version is Windows 7.
No one seems to have answered the question in the Trending Questions.
Thanks.

Yes, it can. Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 Questions

Hi, there.
I'm new to this kind of programme. So, maybe I ask some strange questions.
1. I bought my notebook with Adobe Reader 7.0 installed. A week ago I had to convert a PDF document into a JPEG one. So, I downloaded a free programme to do it. But the result had a watermark on it that brought me to uninstall that programme. Today I've installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0. Can I uninstall my Adobe Reader 7.0?
2. I can't remember which printer the uninstalled free programme used. There are two printers now, i.e. Adobe PDF and PDF-File. Which one is used by Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 so that I can delete the other?
3. My friend told me a month ago that there's an apart setup, i.e. a so-called PDF_Printer. He realized this when his mate explored the installation CD. Is this a case that I have to know?
Thanks before for answering.
Cheers.

1. Yes but you "may" end up having to reinstall Acrobat. I believe they share some resources.
2. Adobe PDF is installed with Acrobat
3. Sounds like the PDF printer is already installed (see answer #2)

Please Help me! Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable form questions!Desperate!!

Hello!
Hopefully can quickly answer these questions because I need to get this out by tomorow night :/ I am new to creating Adobe Acrobat Fillable forms, my yearbook adviser wanted to make the yearbook/journalism application a pdf fillable form so I went with the flow. Now I am having issues. I created it with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 if that helps
1. How do I get individual checks? they all check on the same answers, I need individuality lol. I know radio buttons is jus one chance so thats why I decided against them
2. How does one do a submit button exactly?
3. Somehow, I got to the step to distribute the forms but it says error licensing issue? Any ideas?
Iplease give all an any thoughts on my questions you have no idea how much I appreciate any help!

If using check boxes, you need to give each a different field name if you want them to behave independent of one another. You can create a group where at most on in the group can be selected, similar to a radio button group, by giving each the same field name but different export value.
For #2, it depends on the details of what you want to do. A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server or to initiate an email with the form data for the entire form attached to the email. If you want Reader users to be able to save the filled-in form and/or submit the entire filled-in PDF, the form has to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat.
For #3, please provide the exact error message.

Adobe Acrobat (OEM/Bundled?) questions

We have several older Dell PCs that had Adobe Acrobat 6-8 installed on them from Dell (I assume it's an OEM type license.) But reading through the EULAs, I can't find any mention of OEM or anything. Are these truly OEM copies? We received the actual Acrobat CDs with the computers. As we are beginning to decomission these older machines, we have two questions -
1. Can we install these copies of Acrobat on newer PCs, or are they truly OEM and stick with the machine that is now aging out and useless, and
2. Can we use these licenses as the basis for upgrade licenses to Acrobat X on new machines?
Thanks.

AFAIK there wouldn't be a difference in the number of computers you could install it on, or the ability to move from one system to another...
As for the second question, you're probably okay but only Adobe Customer Support could answer for sure.
Worst case, you could order the upgrades and then if they don't work out for some reason you could just return them under Adobe's 30-day refund policy.

Publishing to the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server - two questions:

I publish Captivate output to the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server. I have two questions:
How do I publish content so that users open up the output in full screen mode?
How do I publish content so that users open up the output in their flash players instead of their browsers?
As is well know, varying browser toolbar setups can make or break if your content fits on to the screen.
Thanks!

Hi there
I'm unsure if you are asking about this as it relates to Connect Pro server or not?
If you are asking if there is a way to open a Captivate presentation in Full Screen from Connect Pro, I do note that during Publishing, in the dialog the option for full screen mode is disabled. (which is odd because the first time I checked, the option was actually enabled!)
Again, speaking in terms of deploying the content via Connect Pro server, I am unaware of a way to coax Connect Pro into presenting as a SWF only. At least, not if you are publishing to it from Captivate. I did test by publishing a SWF from Captivate to a local folder on my hard drive. Then from inside Connect, electing to upload only the SWF. That seems to work. But again, you really don't have any control over the size of the window that opens. At least as far as I can tell. (I'm somewhat of a Connect novice)
Perhaps you might locate the forums for discussing Connect and ask the questions there?
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Customizing and General help

I'm trying to set-up Adobe 9 Pro so that when you select "Print" or "Print to PDF" that the application automatically defaults to a Specified location and a Specified name as (Date)+(Time).pdf. Currently it prompts you to specify the location and the name, but I can change the default location pretty easily. I have even looked in the Adobe Customization Wizard and under the Adobe PDF printer it has options for "Default PDF Output Folder" and "Adobe PDF Output Folder" - which says in the box "Prompt for Adobe PDF filename" and when you select the drop down box it only has "<Default PDF Output Folder>" with no way of editing the name. Does anyone know how I can set this up? Default Path to whatever I need it to be. And to have the name of the .pdf automatically assigned the name of the current Date and Time.

Just for your information, it is also possible to change the output folder to your own folder of the Adobe PDF printer without modifying the printer settings. Copy the following lines to notepad, correct the path C:\\DocOut to your path and save it as Acro8_OutputFolder.reg and double-click on it.
So you can change the output folder of the Adobe PDF printer via registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\AdobePDFOutputFolder]
@=dword:00000002
"2"="C:\\DocOut"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\AdobePDFOutputFolder]
@=dword:00000002
"2"="C:\\DocOut"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0]
"DefaultPDFOutput"="C:\\DocOut"

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Update Question

I just applied the update to take adobe acrobat from 9.3.3 to 9.3.4, but my Acrobat.exe didn't update to the correct version number. Acrobat.dll did, as did the support info and the various registry keys went to 9.3.4. Can someone provide some assistance as to why the Acrobat.exe would not update to the correct version? I've ran the patch as administrator downloaded from adobe.com, from the Check for new versions with in acrobat with the same results. i plan on trying as a startup script to reduce the amount of processes in use, but i don't think that will help. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mike C.

Did you reboot after applying the Update? I had to when I applied the 9.3.4 update.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro & Adobe Acrobat X Standard questions

Hi, I'm running into a problem. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my computer at work, however, I'm finding that my field personnel have Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I've written some javascripts on a form to automatically calculate when a number is entered into a field. I'm finding that the form works fine for the folks with Adobe Acrobat X Pro, but does not work for people with Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
Is there a specific reason for this? I've been going nuts trying to find out why this is happening. I even created the form in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 and the form still will not calculate for those that have Adobe Acrobat X Standard. In addition to that, it doesn't work with Adobe Reader either.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening?
(I'm going to post this same message over in Adobe Acrobat in case I've put this in the wrong spot.)
Thanks
Connie

Hi thanks for the reply yes the Epson software was up todate
I have fixed the problem by repairing my Disk Permission and a restart
cheers Mike

Adobe acrobat 8.0 professional question

Hi.
I am implementing adobe IAC through powerbuilder for manipulating pdf files. This powerbuilder application has to be pushed to 'n' number of users. Do all the users need to have adobe acrobat professional 8.0 to successfully manipulate the pdf files through the application ?? we are providing the powerbuilder application as an msi file to the users.

Thanks.
Is there a way to package the adobe acrobat pro 8.0 with the powerbuilder application that I am working on instead of pushing the acrobat professional to the users separately ?
