How to create an Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF within Quark 8.1

Hi there room...
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and downloaded the compatible 8.1 Quark update....
My old method of creating an Adobe PDF from within Quark 98 was to first create a "Printing Output Style" for the document in Quark 8... then going to print... I would select the Adobe Acrobat 9 PPD along with the pre-determided output print style... then going to Print / Save As Postscript File... then distilling and creating my high definition/print ready PDF artwork. Every time I would go to try and select the Acrobat PPD file in Quark it now doesn't appear. I have tried placing it manually in the proper library root folder, quit Quark and then it would appear and I would continue with making my Acrobat files as I have done now for years. But after a system restart this file again disappears. I have found out that this is new in SL and that Adobe now has a new way of creating PDF files within SL.
Does anyone know how to get a proper relaiable workflow going with Acrobat Distiller and Quark 8.1 ?
Yours sincerely,

Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi star2111,
Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

How to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat

I need to know how to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat. I have a request from a customer to do so and after googling I have came up with nothing. Also the customer would like it if they could convert said pdf form to a microsoft word document with the text form.

There's no limit on the number of characters you can enter into a text
field, unless you set it as such.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy

Cannot opening PDF created with Adobe Acrobat 5 on Samsung Android device

Hi I have an number of links to PDFs on my WordPress.com blog home page (www.creationtonewcreation.com). These were created in Adobe Acrobat 5, with security applied that allows viewing and printing. They open fine on my laptop (e.g. with Google Chrome), but when trying to open on my Android mobile (Samsung Note 3 - a standard design) with Acrobat Reader installed, an error message appears 'The document cannot be opened because it is not a valid PDF document'. It is a valid PDF as it was created with Adobe 5 itself. Do you know what the problem might be? I have uploaded another PDF (not sure what this was created with) on my other WordPress.com site, and it downloads fine, so WordPress.com is not the problem per se. Many thanks for any advice anyone can give. Rob

Hi Robert,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will try my best to get this issue resolved.
I will recommend you to upgrade your Adobe reader to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on your Samsung Note 3 mobile phone and then try to view the pdf files. You can download it for free from the Google app. store or you can refer to this link Acrobat Reader DC Learn & Support.
Let me know if you still experience the same issue.

Aadesh

How to disable Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader in Safari

How do I disable Adobe Acrobat Reader to prevent Safari from using it to open PDFs? I have Safari 7.0.5, OS X v10.9.4. FYI, there is nothing in my User> HD> Library> Internet Plugins folder. And I've already right clicked on a PDF in Finder and selected the option to always use Preview to open PDFs. But Safari still opens PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Thanks

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Can't open pdf created with Adobe Acrobat Pro

I can't open a pdf (that was created with Adobe Acrobat Pro) using Reader 11. However, the file will open with an older version of Reader (10.1.4) on another workstation. Is there any way to resolve the problem?

Reader 11 is not available for general release. If you participated in the beta program, there is a place for this discussion which you have been provided. If you did not participate in the beta program, then you should not yet have access to Reader 11. I have just checked the Adobe website and it is not available to download from there.

How can I get Adobe Acrobat 7 to embed a specific font?

Re: How can I get Adobe Acrobat 7 to embed a specific font?
created by Dave Merchant in Acrobat Windows - View the full discussion
A particular PDF file can have fonts embedded within it, or may refer to fonts installed in the operating system - but in either case it uses the Postscript name of the font, not the common name seen on menus. This ensures that when fonts are substituted or edits are made to the PDF file, the correct version and vendor are matched, not just the common name. Postscript names are unique, and often end with the initials of the vendor (LT = Linotype, MT = Monotype, etc.). "Times" on a font menu refers to the Linotype font "Times-Roman" (sold by Adobe and others), and "Times New Roman" refers to the Monotype font usually named "TimesNewRomanPSMT" (a Postscript font in a TrueType package, which is part of the standard set on Windows). They look the same from a distance, but internally they are different enough that a direct replacement is not normally possible. If you ever need to work out which has been used and cannot inspect the metadata, look very closely at the number "5" - in the Linotype font it has a tiny serif on the top right corner. Embedding a font into a file has no effect on Acrobat whatsoever (lisabritne, what you're saying makes no sense).

Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?

I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.

Hi Dave,
I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
Thanks so much for your time.
Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
Thanks, Amy

Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

Troubleshooting Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios and Flash Player

Urgent Issue. We have a large number of corporate reference files in Adobe PDF Portfolios, created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
(1) Since Adobe moved the Flash Player to a separate stand-alone app, the contents of the existing PDF Portfolios are not visible or accessible.
(2) I created a new PDF Portfolio to troubleshoot the problem. After adding files to the Portfolio the files are not visible either. Adding the same file a second time triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in any of the layouts.
I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate app when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 installed as a separate app.
How do I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original functionality?

I found the followinginformation on Adobe’s website which indicates rendering flash content wasturned off in v9.5.1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/04/background-on-security-bulletin-apsb12-08.

When you get the error, itrefers you to a webpage with a link for a flash player download:

Please note that The Adobe flash player you have installed on your machien is different from the NPAPI version of flash player. So you need to have both of these versions of Falsh player installed on your machine.

How to create a non editable PDF

How to create a non editable PDF in PDF writer 5 & 6 Professional.

There was a PDF Writer driver available in AA 5 (not in AA 6). It was part of the custom install and was not recommended for use. In AA 5, the Acrobat Distiller printer was preferred. In AA 6, the name was changed to the Adobe PDF printer. In any case, once you have the PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat and go to the document properties. Select the security options to restrict changes and/or extracting text. The security is not all that robust, but works for most folks.
