Help with Acrobat 8 Pro

I am trying to create a form from an existing PDF file but I am not able to choose "Run form field recognition".  Can anyone help with why I'm having trouble?

Running it on a scan will not do the job since it only sees a graphic. You need a regular text structure for the form field recognition. I assume the question about the scan was to indicate that might be the problem, not the solution. To check for text, see if you can mark any text.

  • Help with Acrobat Pro 8.2 and Windows 7 strange error.

    When I print something to the PDF printer, the PDF file is created successfully but the job stays in the print queue and says "error printing" when I look at the document in the print queue window. I have tried to "repair" the installation and this did not work. Any thoughts? It's annoying that every time I create a PDF I have to open the print queue and cancel the job becasue it says error after the file was created ok

    I just installed 8.0 in compatibility mode for XP SP3, and then each update one after another until I got it up to 8.2 - worked just fine. Except I still have the problem I originally posted about so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • 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.

  • Need help with Acrobat 11.0.9: odd interface and unresponsive on some computers

    Hello,
    We've been using Adobe Acrobat Pro for a few years now and have globally been very happy with it. Recently the quality of the product seems to have increased especially on the Mac computers.
    However we're having issues with the 11.0.9 update that just happened recently:
    1) On some Windows computers the interface on the right is much larger than it should and a new tab called 'Fill and sign' has been introduced. We worried it was an malware until we read the release notes. Is this really normal? The interface is odd and very large. Is there a way we can remove it?
    2) Also once the new module for recent files is turned ON, we experience Acrobat 11.0.9 is frozen for few seconds and on Mac laptops we've noticed that energy consumption is back while there was good improvement for the last few releases. We have mobile attorneys who use Acrobat extensively on Mac laptops and battery life is important for them. They can just turn the functionality OFF fortunately, but then the new mobile is useless and we like the normal behavior better.
    Thanks for any help!
    We have about 30 computers with Acrobat Pro on them, both Mac and Windows and about a third of them have at least one of these problems.
    Regards,
    Jean

    Yes, it's normal.  You can close it or disable it entirely.
    You should be able to disable it via the following entry in a administrator created "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" file in the FeatureLockdown section.  The file is placed in the /Library/Preferences directory and should apply to all users.
    Here is the ETK documentation on the item:
    Lockable Settings
    bEnableFillSig

    0: Don't show the Sign Now panel.

    For item #2 , I am not sure what you mean.  New module??  Can you screenshot it and post it?

  • Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

    Help needed!
    How to create own dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X, without any knowledge of programming.
    It was very easy with the program used before (Nuance); unfortunally it's not possible to export from Nuance to Acrobat.
    Thanks in advance

    It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
    There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:

    When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

    Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

  • REDUCE FILE SIZE with Acrobat Pro

    Hi everyone!
    I  created a epk for a rock band  with Illustrator then I created one pdf that contains the all three pages with Acrobat Pro (I downloaded the trial because it was just for this occasion) This epk is a pdf file with 3 pages, some pictures and hyperlinks.
    I need to send the epk to the band and they want a reduced size one. The original is 8.3 M but obviously it's too big to be sent via email.
    I have been trying with the option SAVE AS -  REDUCED SIZE PDF but it doesn't work! Still the same size.
    I am new to acrobat so maybe I am missing something.
    HELP!
    Thanks

    Hi michelab,
    You can also try choosing Save As > Optimized PDF. There are various settings in that dialog box that you can manipulate to bring down the file size. Here's the Help topic on that dialog box, with information about the various settings:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html

  • Outlook Quick Print no longer works with Acrobat Pro v11

    Hi All,
    Prior to installing Acrobat Pro v11 on a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) we were able to use the Quick Print function for attachments within Outlook (Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit), although the default printer was physical printer the application would always open with Acrobat Pro even after disabling it as a default application. Upon uninstalling Acrobat Pro v11 the issue no longer occurs and the quick print fuction has been restored to normal.
    If there is a known technical solution it would be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,

    rgrosz789, thank you for your suggestion.
    Your code worked but caused run time error at the following line as below.
    Sub Test()
        'Dim app As CAcroApp
        Dim app As Object
        Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        app.Show 'Raises run time error
    End Sub
    I finally uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9, reinstalled it, then, my original program worked fine.
    Something must have gone wrong in Acrobat 9 :-)

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • Enterprise mitigation for APSA08-01 with Acrobat Pro 7.0.9

    Hello,
    My organization has 30,000+ users with Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, and we are currently in the process of purchasing the upgrade to 8. The problem is that this vulnerability presents an unacceptable risk until that purchase has been made.
    Is there an ETA on the release of the patch for 7.0.9?
    Is there any way of mitigating these vulnerabilities through the registry? Telling 30,000 people to disable Javascript and Open in Browser is not an option.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Thanks Bill.  Yes, I did let AA7 update after installing.  They first noticed the problem yesterday, but it was the first time they had tried to combine any files since the Reader 9.3 update.  I can only assume the problem is related.  I'll try another update and see if it does anything.
    I appreciate the reply.

  • 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.
