Good Adobe Acrobat Pro X Book?

Can anyone recommend a good Acrobat Pro X book? I had one on my iPad but the iPad crashed and I lost it. I would like to get further into Acrobat than being a very basic user and would especially like to create interactive forms. An electronic format book is preferred.
Thank you
Jay

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
This error happens when:
1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
Thanks!
Stephie

Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this. First download the updated
Distiller ICC profile files at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
This solved the problem for me.
This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys... folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc). Once you add these three files to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color you will be good to go.
It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing. Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

How do you Make an Interactive Drop Down Menu in Adobe Acrobat Pro That Uses Hyperlinks?

Hi first off let me point out and apologise in advance for my ignorance and possibly my misuse of the correct terms, I'm new to this.
Anyway here goes, my best attempt to try and explain myself. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro I am trying to create a drop down menu that lists a set of documents. Once you click an item in the drop down menu it then opens up the corresponding document. So far example the Menu reads "Documents" and below it there is three options "Dogs" "Cats" "Hotdogs" when you click on "Hotdogs" you open up the document for hotdogs etc.
I have actually done it once before using Javascript and a combo box and I think basically you buried the links to documents in a series of bookmarks, the Javascript code then was basically a shortcut to activate those bookmarks.
So in short, could someone please tell me the code I would need to make this happen? I have looked extensively for the right forum post to see if my question has already been covered but I couldn't find anything and I possibly could have been using the wrong search terms.
Please ask me to clarify anything to help you understand what it is I'm asking.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Elliot.

Hey I think I found a solution to my own problem I made an "OK Button" right click>properties>actions>select action>run a javascript>add - and executed this code:
function searchBookmarks(bkm, nLevel, bkmName)
if ( bkm.name == bkmName ) return bkm;
if (bkm.children != null) {
for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)
var bkMark = searchBookmarks(
bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1, bkmName);
if ( bkMark != null ) break;
return bkMark;
return null;
function bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks)
   if(bookmarks && bookmarks.children)
     for(var i=0;i<bookmarks.children.length;i++)
bookmarkName = bookmarks.children[i].name.replace(/\s{2,}/g,' ');
while (bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11)) > 0)
bookmarkName = bookmarkName.substring(0,bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))) +" "+ bookmarkName.substring(bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))+1)
popUp = popUp+"{cName: '"+bookmarkName+"', cReturn: '"+bookmarkName+"'" ;
if(bookmarks.children[i].children)
          popUp = popUp + ", oSubMenu: [";
   bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks.children[i]);
   popUp = popUp + "]";
popUp = popUp+"}";
if (i != bookmarks.children.length-1)
popUp = popUp+", "
   return popUp;
var popUp = "";
bookmarksAsPopUp(this.bookmarkRoot);
var cChoice = eval("app.popUpMenuEx(" + popUp + ")" ) ;
bkm = searchBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0, cChoice );
if ( bkm != null ) bkm.execute();
Then you can just add your own bookmarks and they populate the pop-up menu automatically (including the hierarchy sub menu structure, you nest bookmarks within a main book mark.) which is a more efficient way than the one I used before.
I take no credit for this by the way my source is here PDF Bookmarks as a PopUp Menu | The Practical:PDF Blog
I hope this helps anybody looking to do the same.

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9.0. I would like upgrade to v. 11

I'd like to upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9 to Acrobat Pro v. 11. via uninstalling v. 9.0 and installing v. 11. The reason is that I'm having problems opening PDF files on my PC.

Acrobat XI Pro does not work as well as previous versions. For example, using "Combine Files into PDF" function, Acrobat will not work if one or more of your WORD docs has a text layer (such as in a WORD template to produce a letterhead). The text layer will not print to PDF, although this function works fine in previous versions. It will convert your WORD docs to PDF, but if any WORD doc has a text layer, it will not be converted. It will show up as a blank space. I have a letterhead text layer that has my work credentials. It does not show up on the converted PDF, using the bundle (Combine Files into PDF) function. Tech Supports workaround for this is to first create a PDF from the WORD page that has a text layer by first clicking on Acrobat, at the top of the monitor page, then clicking on Create PDF. Save the PDF, which will have the printed text layer. Then go to Combine Files into PDF and include that already created PDF page in the bundle. That will work, but it's another step you have to go through to create your bundle, i.e., your work flow is interrupted by having to accomplish the workaround (documented in Adobe Case No. 0185444461). Acrobat Pro 9 extended did not need this workaround - nor did previous versions. Tech Supports comment was that Adobe changed a lot of things - in this case, not for the good.

Searching in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I have found that the adobe acrobat pro xi does not do a good job on searching for keywords. I tested 1 document on acrobat 9 standard, X pro & standard and XI pro & standard. I searched the same word on all versions and every version worked except for PRO XI. When searching in there it would randomly pick a word to highlight instead of the word you had told it to search for......Anyone else have this problem or know of a resolution? I have looked for updates but the software is already up to date. Anything will be helpful seeing as we have already purchased this license. Oh yeah and it does it on two separate computers that both have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

Any information or steps that other people might have taken is welcomed. I will try anything at this point. I have updated, repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing has worked so far.

Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

The File
(1) The file has to be a PDF.
(2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
(& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
The application.
Consider a cold reboot.
Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - I get different toolbar configurations when opening files.

I have set up my Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with a selection of toolbars that suits my needs. So far, so good. Recently, however, when I open some files, I get a different set of tool bars that resembles the default version.
I have tried opening the files several ways (e.g. menu, double-click in Explorer, etc.). It makes no difference what I do.
How do I force Acrobat to open the files using my set of toolbars instead of this truncated version? And why is this changing?

Error Updating have you completed all of the steps listed in Error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation? Did you have any questions on any of the steps listed?

How do i turn on advanced editing in adobe acrobat pro 9

my icons are dimmed out

Thank you. These are documents I have created my self, either by scanning in or saving as pdfs. I checked on of the documents and it says No Security. And Allowed is listed for all the Document Restrictions Summary choices.
Some background. I first purchased Adobe Acrobat 5 which I used for years. For reasons unknown to me I then purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. It has never allowed me to do anything with the text so I've always ended up with the 5 and only used the 9 to read pdfs sent to me that were newer versions and would not open in 5.
I have just purchased a new computer, Windows 7 OS and now my 5 will no longer work and I am stuck with 9. I have searched the Adobe website to find out how, if one owns the software - paid cold hard (and a goodly amount) cash - one turns on the editing function and have failed miserable. I did try support, but they pretty much hang up if you say the word "9". A couple of techs did try to steer me in some direction which ended up being this forum so....long story short, when one purchases the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 software, where does one go to turn on the advanced editing capabilities so that the icons are not dimmed out.
Many thanks!!!!!

I cannot re-install Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I have faced a problem and then uninstalled the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Then I tried to re-install it but the Adobe Download Manager always showing the program is 'up to date', there's no 'Install' button as before, so I didn't know how to re-install it. I am a member of Creative Cloud and I have not the original software in my computer. I pay monthly fee. How to solve the problem?

I am having the same issue.I can't get these solutions to work. (I didn't even know what a "caps" folder was so I didn't attempt that.) Did anything work for you?
Suddenly Acrobat Pro declared itself a "trial version." I saw there were two Acrobat shortcuts on my (Windows) start menu. I deleted Acrobat entirely and tried to reinstall. I believe I was "within the CCloud" as I started at creative.adobe.com. Then went to Acrobat, clicked download. It took me to the list of apps on my computer. It proudly said "up-to-date." However, it no longer exists on my machine. ##$2?? ( don't even have Acrobat Reader loaded.)
The sign in screen takes 5 minutes to sign-in. The support option I thought might help said it was down. This is creative alright, but not in a good way.
Have you rebooted? I haven't tried that yet. Does Adobe even have phone support? The website is so determined to sell me stuff, it is hard to actually find that kind of information. I would think if it were available for a fee, I'd have been redirected there by now.

Adobe Acrobat Standard -vs- Adobe Acrobat Pro (for large PDF files)

I need to make a PDF from approximately 600 photos. Is the application Adobe Acrobat Standard competent to achieve this task? Or is it preferable to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

Neither has particular limits relevant to this.
If you are making for professional publishing, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.
However, be aware that YOU DO NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS OR MAKE BOOKS IN ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the view that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher or whatever. It doesn't.

Unable to print with Adobe Acrobat Pro - latest version 10.1.10

Hi,
I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on my mac book air version 10.9.2. but am unable to print. When I print a PDF, it shows up in the printer icon as complete but when I go to the printer, nothing is there? Can someone help?

Hi Frank,
This type of error usually occurs when two or more than two programs are accessing the same file at a point of time.
Does this issue occur with that specific pdf or with other pdfs too?
How about if you make a copy of that pdf and then try deleting pages from that copied pdf? Do let me know if that works.
If possible...Can you mail me that pdf file at [email protected] so that i can check this issue at my end?
Regards,
Rahul

Unable to open Adobe Acrobat Pro after CS4 Design Premium install

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I attempted to install it Sunday, and it completed with an indication of success. I then tried to open all my applications to make sure everything went well, and Acrobat keeps coming up with the following error: "You can't open the application Adobe Acrobat Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete." I tried to remove it with the uninstaller, and it does not see it. I have tried to install it multiple times. I even swapped out the DVD drive to see if it was having problems reading the disc, but nothing has helped. I even tried to delete it entirely. I currently have a web case open, but they state that can take up to 3 days to be answered. I tried to call technical support, but gave up after an hour on hold. I suspect a bad disc, but I really don't want to have to wait a week or more to get the issue resolved through sending endless emails back and forth with a web case. I was hoping someone would have a good answer to my problem that would not require that. I am trying to install it on a fairly plain OS 10.6.2 system. It is a 2009 Mac Pro Quad with 6GB of RAM. As stated, so far none of the other applications are giving me any issue. It has just been Acrobat Pro.
Thanks.

I ended up finding the probable solution to this problem. I downloaded the trial version of CS4 Design Premium. Seeing that I had already installed CS4, it asked what application I wanted to reinstall. I reinstalled Acrobat. When I opened it the first time, it told me that the licensing server could not be reached. I opened Photoshop, then it again. It has worked fine since then. I have updated it to 9.3.1, so it should be good from here on out.

Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

Good day,
I cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on my windows XP machine with SP2 and the latest updates.
The error says that the software cannot be installed on the Operating system, please see minimum requirements. I meet all these but cannot install
I saw a similar question posted on the forums but it is unanswered.
Please assist me.
Wesley

Hi,
This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

Font issues on Adobe Acrobat Pro

I am running OS X 10.9.4 (mavericks) on my iMac and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on this computer. The font we use is an older font that doesn't come pre-installed on Mac's anymore (Blair Md medium ITC-TT). I downloaded and installed the font to font books, and it seems to work okay on Word but doesn't work on Adobe Acrobat. When I convert word documents to PDF, the font changes and there is no way for me to change it back.
How can I fix this problem? Thanks!

Unable to unistall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac

I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac on my MacBook Air. I decided it was not worth the money to purchase. How do I get rid of it? It has expired, but now I cannot open my regular Adobe Reader?

Hello,
her some links "How to uninstall ...":
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/macs/how-to-uninstall-on-mac.htm
http://guides.macrumors.com/Uninstalling_Applications_in_Mac_OS_X
or in German language:

The same procedure I would use for your Adobe Reader. After that you load it down an install it anew.
Good luck!
