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!!!!!

  • Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

    Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

    Problem is that my pdf files look terrible although I have MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). I have Adobe Creative Suite Design  Standard version 6.0 (Mac). I have installed every possible update. I think problem is that for some reason my CS doesn´t support retina display? If I view a pdf file in iMessage, it looks fantastic. But if I open the same document in Adode Acrobat Pro, it looks awful. What can I do?
    Thank you so much for your help.

  • Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync download turned all program icons to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    I recently installed Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync on my laptop running Windows 7 Pro. As soon as the installtion was completed, all my program icons turned to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which is one of the programs loaded on my computer, and all my programs tried to open with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which of course failed. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, and the problem cleared up. As soon as I tried to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, the problem reappeared. I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and installed a trial version of Acrobat XI, and the same thing happened. Any ideas aso to how to correct this problem?

    Hi ptstoper,
    I was not able to replicate the issue with Acrobat 11 and Android sync.

  • Randomly Misplaced Advanced Editing Marks in Acrobat Pro 7?

    After I generate a PDF using WebWorks ePublisher 2010.2, advanced editing marks are randomly misplaced in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The first highlighting mark, for example, works without problems. The next time I attempt to highlight text, the highlighting appears at the end of the page (rather than the text I am trying to select). When I attempt to make text edits (cross out/replace), the edits do not appear in the PDF.
    I am able to successfully print to PDF directly through FrameMaker without this issue occuring, which leads me to believe it is an issue with ePublisher, but I'm not confident. Any ideas?

    Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

  • How to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

    I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
    HELP!

    Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

  • How do I remove a digital signature from Adobe Acrobat Pro.  I have set it up wrongly.

    I created a digital signature but I wanted to change the signature and it also was not password protected. So I deleted the signature but cannot delete the certificate to set it up again.
    Mac OS X (Operating System)
    So I am unable to delete the digital signature in Acrobat Xi pro.
    I did the following: Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Creation and Appearance Preferences and deleted the signature. But Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Digittal ID and Trusted Certificate Settings, does not want to delete.
    Tank you.

    It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

  • How do I restore the "Pages" button on Adobe Acrobat Pro?

    I clicked the  Pages button, usually seen in the grey bar on the upper left side of the  screen, and accidentally pulled it out of the bar. Now it's gone. I suppose I don't know my own strength.
    Please help me get it back. I use it a lot. Thanks!
    (And is there a way to nail it down to keep this from happening again?

    There are two ways. The following is for Acrobat 9, but it's similar for Acrobat 10:
    1, View > Navigation Panels > Reset Panels
    2. View > Navigation Panels > Pages, and then click on the word "Pages" (as opposed to the top bar) in the floating window and drag back to the navigation pane.

  • 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

  • How do I clean up old installations of Adobe Acrobat Pro?

    It is now taking about 45 minutes to create a pdf from word by printing to the adobe pdf printer. I should take about 5. I had an older version (Pro X), downloaded the demo of Pro XI and then found the software had deleted my older version. I uninstalled Pro XI, reinstalled Pro X and had problems getting it to work. So I upgraded to Pro XI and tried to do a clean install and I still can't get it to run properly. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Sounds like you need to deactivate XI and then uninstall all versions (use control panel>Programs & Features if needed). Run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html. Remove any leftover Acrobat folders. Finally, reboot and install. Hopefully the cleaner will clean out your registry and resolve the issue.

    I am trying to download the free trial of Acrobat Pro and am getting an error message stating that the installer file is damaged.  I have tried on 2 PCs and get the same error.  Is this able to be corrected so that I can trial the program?

    Without knowing anything about your system or your Internet connection we can't really tell you much. This error is on your end - the connection drops out or the files get damaged when saved to disk. Try another browser and check your Internet.
