How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

? How do I delete large blocks of empty space with Adobe Acrobat Pro?

How do I delete large blocks of empty space with Adobe Acrobat Pro?

How can you delete "empty space"? If you mean that you want to delete lines,
like in Word, so that the text afterwards will go "up the page", then you're
out of luck. You should do that in the original file, and then re-create the
PDF.

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.

How to remove the default Digital ID in my mac Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.1?

Dear All,
I have my mac Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.3.1, I never used it to sign a document, and last week, after I opened up a document created from my lab's PC computer with Window 9 version of Acrobat Pro, the Digital ID with someone's name somehow has been encrypted in my Mac. The reason I said that the name has been encrupted in my Mac is because no matter how I do with the form, including getting a new form to start with, or removing the signature filed or getting the form with another PC to work with my Mac acrobat, when I go to the Sign form, the particular name and ID, which requires a password, has always been there. I called the Adobe to help, was told that since this is verison 8.3.1, I was advised to come here. Please help me with. Thank you.

Thanks George for the help, I managed to create my own ID using your
approach, Advanced > Security Settings > Digital IDs > add ID, but when I
signed it with the PDF of my signature, it is showed as my name in Typing
such as "XXX YY", instead of the handwritten form. I managed to use the
same PDF of my signature (signed and converted to PDF) last week when I
used the Pro 9, how can I attach my signature the same way in handwritten
form instead of being convered to "XXX YY" and appears "digitally signed"
Thanks again.

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

Select multiple comments in Acrobat 9

Hi, is there a special way to select multiple comments in Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro? I can't just cmd-click like it should be. Half of my team is on this version and the other half is on X. X does not have this issue. Is this a bug in 9?
Thanks

Itunes match how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1. I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match. After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

Hmm, I haven't heard of that before. It's a new tab page with no relation to what you were dragging?
I wonder whether this might be a feature of one of your extensions. You can review them, and disable/remove any that are nonessential or unrecognized, here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you disable extensions, usually a link will appear above at least one of them to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
If that makes no difference, you could test in Firefox's Safe Mode -- that's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

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!

How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5? I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one. Would appreciate help on this. Cheers.

It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?

How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?
I want wherever the PDF opened automatically preferrence changed, default HAND TOOL remain selected. I want to do it using Adobe JavaScript.

You are correct in that it's not functioning, however I do not have that option under the "online and adobe online" section in Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have the following boxes that can be checked:
"Disable initiating shared reviews and data collection via distributed forms using Adobe online services (does not affect non Adobe online services reviews and forms).
"Disable the Tools pane in Reader"
"Disable file storage on Adobe online services"
"Enable file storage even when all other services are disabled"

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
