How do you search bold text in Adobe Reader XI for Windows?

We create documents electronically that contain bold text for a client. No matter what we try in Adobe Reader XI for Windows, bold text is not found. Is it not searchable? Is there a setting that we are overlooking to enable it? So far, only NitroPDF is the only program I can find that works.

I just created a small test PDF (test_bold.pdf) with some bold words in it.  Reader XI (11.0.09) has no trouble finding these words.
You can download the test doc from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/333accd7-f54b-40f4-b06f-f14a3608f120
Search for the word lazy that has been boldened multiple times in the doc.

    I need to download adobe reader 9 for windows 7. Can anyone provide me with a link?  Anyone have a link for Adobe reader 9?

    I know it was crazy hard to find the links!
    My company paid for it and I hadn't been on in a while...
    It took some serious bookmark/history crawling to find!
    Here they are though!

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

AcroRd32.exe Error, The instruction at 0x9068675f reference memory at 0x9068675f. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program.  2.) Adobe Reader ha stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution ia available.

    What is the Reader XI version you installed?
    Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself?  If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Does Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 support forms with auto calculation?

    I'm using a preformatted form that contains auto calculations.  When I use it on Adobe reader 11 on my laptop, it works.  However, when I use the Adobe reader app for windows eight the auto calculations do not work.   Is there anything I Can do?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) does not support JavaScript yet.   Thus, auto calculations or field formatting will not work.
    If your operating system is Windows 8/8.1 (Pro), not Windows RT, you can install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).
    If your operating system is Windows RT, you may want to try Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer by Microsoft) to see if auto calculations work.

  • How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

    I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
    Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.

    Adobe Reader does exactly what its name says: it reads PDF files, nothing more.

  • "Full Screen Mode" in Adobe Reader XI for Windows 8 loads way too slow!

    I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8, after having used Windows Vista for years.  I installed Adobe Reader XI for my new computer.  Before, I used Adobe Reader X on Vista.  I used Adobe Reader "Full Screen Mode" to read the nice-looking Bible chapters I created with internet audio from Biblegateway.com.  In Vista, the "Full Screen Mode" appeared quickly, before the audio fully started, so I could see the text in time for the reading. 
    However, with Windows 8, "Full Screen Mode" takes around 5-10 seconds to appear at all, and a black screen is present throughout the wait.  It does the same thing when I hit "escape" to exit "Full Screen Mode" as well.  I even uninstalled Adobe Reader XI from my new laptop, and tried using Adobe Reader X, even though it is not recommened by Adobe to do that on Windows 8, in order to test the speed of "Full Screen Mode" there.  Adobe Reader X had the same problem!  I do not know if this can be fixed, but I am pretty unhappy about it!  I enjoyed the "Full Screen Mode" with my PDF chapters and the online bible audio!  Finding that function for the first time with Adobe Reader X was a delight for me!  It gave the reading a theater feel!
    Has anyone else here had a similiar problem with "Full Screen Mode" loading way too slow on Windows 8?  I am very disappointed!  If this cannot be fixed by a user, is there a place to complain to Adobe and make a recommendation for software improvement?  Thank you!

  • Adobe Reader Enterprise for Windows Server 2012 (R2)

    Hi,
    I want to silently install the latest version of Adobe Reader on a Windows Server 2012 server. When I want to download the offline installer at http://get.adobe.com/nl/reader/enterprise/ I do not see Windows Server 2012 (and/or R2) listed. Is the offline installer supported for Windows Server 2012 and/or Windows Server 2012 R2?
    How can I get this to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Technical Specifications are here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html
    It doesn't mention Windows Server 2012.
    If this is for Citrix or WTS you should get a distribution agreement and then also get the Distribution version of Adobe Reader.

  • How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

  • On Samsung Galaxie Tab 10.1 How do you rotate a page in Adobe Reader

    Is this feature completely missing from the tablet version of the app?
    Does it only works on the PC version?
    tomm

    On PC:
    Download Adobe Acrobat XI free trial.
    Load the PDF document.
    Rotate all pages 90 degress clockwise.
    Save the document.
    On Tablet:
    Delete the PDF file.
    Download the rotated PDF file.
    Open the downloaded PDF file in Adobe Reader on tablet.
    Seems like a lot of trouble for such a simple thing IMHO.

  • How can I print from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8?

    I need to print information from my dropbox that is a .pdf format.  How can I print from ART for Windows8? I can't find the print icon nor does a right click give me the option to print.  I'm using a laptop, not a tablet. (And not loving Windows 8!)

    Please see FAQ: Printing a PDF file in Windows 8.
    If you are running Windows 8 on a laptop with an Intel-based processor, you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) alternatively.
    Go to your Windows 8 desktop.
    Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ in your browser.
    Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.
    Select File > Print from the menu.
