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.

I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac. I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home

I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac. I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home page (just like the windows based) instead of the "getting started" window.

Good day,
Choose Acrobat > Preferences. Click 'General'. Uncheck the 'Show welcome screen' option under Application Startup.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

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 Pro for Mac bought on Amazon;how can I register it?. registration code they give me, it doesn't work. (It has letters and the registration boxes won't accept letters.) How do I get this to work?

I purchased Acrobat Pro for Mac on Amazon. When I try to register with the registration code they give me, it doesn't work. (It has letters and the registration boxes won't accept letters.) How do I get this to work?

If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

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.

I can't install the update 9.5.2 for Acrobat Pro for Mac.

I am using Mac OS 10.7.4. I currently have Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on my system. I've been able to download the 9.5.2 upgrade successfully via the "'check for updates" link in the application and from also from the Adobe website.
The installer cannot install the update. The process begins but then I get a message that components have been disabled. The message refers me to Acrobat website for help to reingage components. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any such help through their not so user friendly website.
The alternative suggestion from the message was to uninstall the application, then reinstall it. I tried using the uninstaller that was in my Acrobat Pro folder, but when I opened the uninstaller, I got a message saying the installer was not for this application.
I have an installation disk to reinstall the program and I have no problem manually uninstalling the Acrobat Pro from the system, but I don't know what needs to be removed from where.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?
I'm beginning to feel like this upgrade is just a gimmick to encourage people to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X.

I was getting the same error: "Insufficient data for image" and the document wouldn't open. But Foxit and Chrome read the files directly, with no problems.
On a Mac, the 9.5.2 upgrade works fine under Acrobat Pro 9!!
Do any of you run Kaspersky antivirus? When I ran the root kit scanner - is doesn't like some of the Adobe System files and will quarantine them – this only happened in July: This is when it quarantined some files that were authored by Adobe. This is when the updates to Adobe seemed to have stopped working properly?
I submitted the “quarantined” files to Kaspersky and they came back and said that the Adobe files allowed “trojan” like backdoor access to my PC - To get adobe working again I allowed them back into my system and took them out of Quarantine. The 9.5.2 update worked fine after this.
I thought it was a fault with Kaspersky 2011 until I updated to 2013 (last week) and the Root Kit scanner completely removed the registration for Adobe Acro 9....No opportunity to deactivate...program wouldn’t run with error messages about the registration of Acrobat Pro 9. I reinstalled the programme; it will run but cannot be upgraded from the DVD rom version
Now I’m struggling to get my Adobe product serial number reactivated. The Indian call centre tell me the retail serial number is invalid and not an Adobe serial at all, then I get told about 30 mins later in the same call the serial number is actually registered to someone else - they're just oxygen thieves...
The botom line was, that unless you bought from Adobe online, and they can track your purchase, you're on your own for support...
Ironically, when I first installed Acrobat 9 Pro back in 2010, the software installed fine, activated and I got a nice Welcome email message from Adobe, free downloads too - not much use though - perhaps this is one of those keep the product sales up schemes...you've had your two years time to buy an upgrade!.
I think these issues are linked up with the extreme piracy control that Adobe have implemented in their products - it's gone too far...

Acrobat Pro for Mac

I am trying to convert a combination of PDF, Word and Excel files into a single PDF file, but the Word and Excel files/pages are being rejected. I have no trouble doing this on my Windows version of Acrobat Pro and wondering if the same functionality is available on the Mac version.

Adobe built that feature for its enterprise customers because most of them use Outlook and Windows. They have lagged in providing similar support for Macintosh applications. I think that that support is still lagging, but they're starting to move in the right direction.
That feature is not yet supported. You can file a feature request if you like:

Adobe Acrobat Pro for MAC

I have been unable to download PDF's from trusted sites. While the file downloads, it will not open and is listed as unreadable. When I attempt to print to PDF docs are blank. If I simply attempt to print certain files they are blank as well. How can I fix this?

What version of Acrobat Pro are you using? It's possible you may need to uninstall Acrobat (there is a link to the Uninstaller in the Applications/Acrobat Pro folder), then reinstall again.

Will Acrobat Pro for Mac Version 11.0.07 continue to function if I upgrade my OS to Mac OS X Yosemite?

I've had issues in the past with Acrobat Pro losing functionality after I've upgraded to a newer Mac OS. Hopefully this won't occur when Mac launches Yosemite. Any comments?

I upgraded to Yosemite and I can no longer print 2D barcodes. I have deleted and updated all my print drivers, so it is an Acrobat Pro (11.0.9) problem.

Re PDF"s printing all black.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble printing some PDF's only. Some are fine, others print a whole page of black.
Even though it appears normal on the monitor. If I save as a postscript and open in Preview it is also all black. I'm using Adobe Acrobat on Powerbook G4 , OSX 10.4.11.
The same files print normally on my PC, Windows XP, (that hurts).
Any help really appreciated.
tnx jeremy

Well, I guess we should start with this... can you highlight any text in the PDF & maybe copy it? Or is it just a pic of Text?
What happens if you Save As say a JPG in Preview?
Seems an Adobe problem..
I'm running OSX 10.5.8, installed adobe 9. Now while surfing using Safari some pages load automatically into adobe pdf, but background is totally black

Objects with spot colors in PDF's that have been created with Adobe Acrobat 6 on Macintosh OS X (10.2.6) import into FreeHand MX 11.0.1 as missing, white or black. The PDF files created with the Acrobat 6 format have also been reported as having issues with FreeHand MX and even other applications like Illustrator.
This has also been reported with CMYK-TIFF images that have drop shadows applied to them.

My Acrobat Pro for Mac keeps crashing when I open files

When I have a file opened in acrobat but then I try to open more files the program keeps crashing. It is very annoying and there are no updates available.

Hi Jorge,
Do you see any error code when the program crashes?
Does this problem occurs with specifically Acrobat or with other applications too?
Regards,
Rahul

In Acrobat Reader for Mac is there a way to print just the page with comments?

What I mean is with my old Acrobat Pro for Mac, if I had a PDF that was 12 pages but only had comments on 3 pages, I could get a print out of the 3 document pages and the comments for those 3 pages.
Thanks

Following EL will do what you want:
#{composerContext.inEditMode}In other words, the composerContext bean is available, even in a WebCenter Portal application. If you take a look at the default template (pagetemplate_globe.jspx) that is created when you create a webcenter portal application. On line 16, you see an example of the usage.
edit: sorry... Didn't see you meant the contribution mode...
Edit mode is by pressing ctrl+shift+e
ctrl+shift+c is called contribution mode...
I just looked at the source code of the content presenter taskflow and this is what they are using to show the dotted line:
inlineStyle="#{composerContext.subView == 'contentContribution' ? 'border:2px dashed blue' : ''}">So I guess #{composerContext.subView == 'contentContribution'} will return true if you are in contribution mode. This should work both in spaces as in framework.
Hope this helps.
