How do I enable Task Panes in Acrobat 9 Pro?

I'm trying to use Acrobat 9 Pro at work, and I'm repeatedly being given instructions on how to do various things that all involve the Task Pane(s). However, at some point on this machine I (or the person before me, since I haven't ever used Acrobat before, most likely) somehow closed the Task Panes, and I've spent several hours on the internet trying to find how to re-open them again, to no avail. Please, there must be some simple button to press or menu item to enable for such a standard, oft-used feature. Help!
PS - Also I've seen lots of "How-Tos" in my search that say "Go to View -> Show/Hide -> [...]" but I don't have a Show/Hide option in my View menu... is this only in Acrobat X and XI?
Thanks,
Tyler

Thank you. Do you know if the Show/Hide Post Script is also an X/XI feature change?

Export button in task toolbar in Acrobat 9 Pro?

I had Acrobat 8 Professional and most of my pdf work was exporting to jpeg. Acrobat 8 had an export button in the task toolbar that made it a quick-click function to perform an export. I've recently upgraded to Acrobat 9 Pro, and I can't find my export task button anywhere, or find how to add it back into the task toolbar! Now I have to go to File>Export>Image>Jpeg to get the export...which for me is quite annoying since this is most of what my work consists of exporting.
Could someone explain how to restore the Export task button back to the task toolbar in Acrobat 9 Pro? Please don't tell me that option doesn't exists in version 9. You would think an upgrade to a newer version would make things more efficient, not less.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

On Acrobat 8's menu bar under the "File" option, there is an "Export" option that then has a number of choices including "Jepg". Is this what you are referring to?
If you had a toolbar button, someone added it using Acrobat JavaScripts 'execMenuItem(File.Export)'.
There are many types of 'Exports' available to Acrobat the include various types of form data, all images, comments to various types of files, as well as exporting a PDF to various file formats.

How do I activate my purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Win?

How do I activate my purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Win now that it is downloaded and installed? Was having internet issues when prompted and now can't find?

You need to use the serial number that comes with the purchase to activate the software. If you have an issue with reards to the serial number, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

It has already been said, but just to clarify the updates are what you would seem to call a minor update. The upgrades to a new major number (1>2>3>4>5>6>7>8>9>X>XI>??) are what you seem to call major updates. The upgrades are not free, but the updates are. Sorry for the numbering, I could not resist. I have been using Acrobat since version 2.

Reader X - how to close the Task Pane

Once the Task Pane in Reader X has opened, how can it be closed (without closing Reader)?
Thanks!

"Task Pane" is Adobe's terminology -- e.g., http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS8b24479264ec4228503f719f12bedff5483-8000.h tml
Yes, I can hide the Comment tools in that way, but I have not yet found a way to get the Task Pane itself to close (short of closing Reader X entirely).
If there is no simple way to close the Task Pane, then some users will probably start calling it the "Task Pain"!

How to stop the Task Pane from opening automatically

Hi there,
I use adobe acrobat XI pro to work on lectures and frequently go from the highlit tool to the "adding text" tool in the content modification tool group. Each time i click on the "add text" tool, the tool bar on the right side of the screen or Task Pane pops up, making my document too small to read, and I have to close the task pane each time before being able to write.
Is there any way to get around that?

Hey Aadesh, thank you for your answer
I hope the links for the pictures work, i wasn't quite sure which link to copy.
as you can see, i work on a small computer, and unfortunately, it makes quite a big difference...

Especially when i try to work on 2 corresponding documents at once...

Clicking on tools it what I do each time, but I would have loved to find a way to be able to write something without having that bar show up... Would you have any idea if this would be possible? For example when you click on the highlight tool, the "comment" task pane does not automatically open, this only happens with the "Tool" task pane.
Maybe there is a parameter I could apply?

How to edit a PDF created with Acrobat XI Pro after signatures have been applied (like I can in 7, 8.0

I have a major issue that I need to resolve before we can purchase Acrobat XI Pro:
Currently, with Acrobat 8.1 Pro, after all signatories sign a document, we add an Effective Date (we add it after they sign since we don't know when the last signature will be acquired and we can't have an Effective Date that is before the date of the last signatory, otherwise, it would be effective before they signed it, which is not possible). I'm also allowed the latitude (as stated in our Documentation Control procedure) to make spelling corrections, hyperlink updates and minor formatting changes (by using the typewriter tool and also by replacing a page that is NOT the signed page if the change repaginates the document or involves modifying a hyperlink that has changed).
In all of the previous versions of Acrobat that we've used (7 Pro, 8 Pro and 8.1 Pro) , this has been easily possible and all changes would be listed under the Signatures tab, which is exactly what we want, which is traceability.
I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro now but am getting the message "This document is signed and can not be edited." If I bring the same PDF that was created from Word 2003 & 2013 using Acrobat XI Pro into 8.1 Pro, though, I CAN add the date, use the typewriter tool and replace non-signed pages, save it and exit without clearing or losing any signatures.
My question is this: How can I do this in Acrobat XI Pro, as XI Pro (in the Signature pane) also lists the changes made to the document when it was edited using 8.1 Pro? (It's OK that the changes made to the PDF then mark the signatures as "invalid", as the reason why they were invalidated is also listed in the Signature pane, e.g. "Form Field Added", which is usually the applied Effective Date.)
Thanks for any help!

Acrobat versions prior to 9 had a bug which allowed you to do what you did. In Acrobat 9 this bug was fixed. In order to do what you want you need to certify (apply special certification digital signature with your certificate -- it is "Certify (Visible/Invisible)" choice in the "Work with Certificates") your document first. In the process of certification you can specify which modification permissions you allow the users of your document to make after signing. Certification signature must be the first signature in the document.

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

Is there a feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro similar to that in Bluebeam that allows the user to "flatten" the pdf? What this means is that images, text boxes and other additions to the pdf become seamlessly integrated into the pdf, guaranteeing they will display on other users' computers and when printed.

I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

How do I cancel free trial of Acrobat XI Pro?

I didnʻt realize the cost of Acrobat XI Pro was over $400, so I need to cancel the free trial I installed today on my iMac. But I donʻt see any way of doing that. If you click HELP in the "Adobe Download Assistant," you end up, well, here. And still no clear instructions on how to cancel. Please help!

There is no need to cancel the trial. You can just uninstall the application like you would any other.
If you are afraid you will be charged when the trial period ends you will not. The trial just stops allowing you to use it unless you purchase and obtain a serial number to activate it to full use.

How to Compress non-image object in Acrobat 9 Pro/Acrobat X Pro

Hi,
I am newbie and don't know where to post this question exactly. Forgive me if I am incorrect.
How can we compress "non-image object" in "Acrobat 9 Pro/Acrobat X Pro"
Thanks in advance for your suggestion & help.
Thanks & Regards,
Raja. S

Thanks for the reply.
I want to compress the "non-image" objects (i.e pagragraph contents and not images) for the entire PDF file in the "Acrobat pro X" application manually and not with the tool.
Please share me if you have any idea on this.
Thanks,
Raja. S

How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
Where do I go to edit email preferences?

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.
