In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 - Flatten file so it is not editable even by Acrobat
In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 I use the Flatten option under Preflight but when I go back into the document using Acrobat and use Edit Text & Images, I am able to edit and delete items in the document. I also tried Flatten Preview -> Apply but this didn't work either. I finally tried to print the document as a pdf but the same thing happens. If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software but it seems that if someone has Acrobat, they will be able to edit the pdf I send them. Can you please tell me how I can truly flatten a pdf file so that it is not editable by at all?
" If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software " who as claimed this, and where? Sounds like twaddle.

When printing in Excel It is always want to use the acrobat X pro trial, which the trial is expired. I do not want to use acrobat X pro trial anymore. How can I reset it and use simple acrobat to print my PDF document?
Hi screen name,
Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'
Please refer : http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx

Adobe Acrobat XI pro version, Windows 7, running on iMac parallels, converting pdf to a pdf with reduced size is not possible, error: error in converting the file! What to do? Its a bit annoying not to be able to store pdf files in reduced size, any idea?? Thanks, Jörg
Hi Jorg ,
Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12: Save As, Reduce Size PDF
I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12. The File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF..." does not work. The file size barely changes, if it changes at all. In some cases, the file size is slightly larger after saving using the reduced size PDF option. In previous versions, the option would drastically reduce the document size. The documents are all text in black/white with no graphics and usually Times New Roman or Arial type fonts. Nothing fancy. Is this a bug in this version? I have been unsuccessful in finding a fix. Optimizing does nothing. Any insight you may provide will be most helpful. Thank you in advance.
It's working for me, reducing like Acrobat Pro 9 did (that was my previous version). According to the software, saving to the latest possible version of Acrobat will give the biggest reduction. Good luck.

Trying to download the free trial of Adobe Acrobat XL Pro. I keep getting the message "The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author." I've repeatedly tried getting a new installer file, but get the same message every time.
K_don52 and Ande8135 please remove your current installation of the Adobe Download Assistant and reinstall. You can find more details in the known issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.

Have been using successfully Acrobat 8 Standard, version 8.3.1 for years. Suddenly can not digitally sign anything because software can not find "existing digital ID file?
Are you still using Acrobat 8? If not read further.
All Acrobat versions prior to 11.0.07 had a security flaw that they allows signing with certificates that had "Extended Key Usage" (EKU) restricted to certain certificate uses and those did not include document signing. Most frequently those were certificates with "Client Auth" or "Server Auth" in EKU. Acrobat/Reader 11.0.07 fixed this problem, which also means that while previous versions accepted such certificates for signing 11.0.07 and later do not. -
1. PDF files from the Internet can be opened but graphics do not appear. In place of the graphic the area is colored gray.
2. I use an HP scanner to create PDF documents. I am unable to use Adobe Acrobat XI to scan from my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. Apple reports an error. However, I can scan documents to PDF using an HP utility, however, these documents cannot be displayed by Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and therefore, cannot be edited or used to create forms. The documents can be displayed by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
These problems also existed under the previous OS X system “Maverick”. Please tell me that only a change in setting is required to be able to read and edit these documents created via scan or describe a usable work-around solution.Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

On 2/25/15 went online and purchase Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Installed on my first device no problem. Have a new Surface Pro 3 and want to install a copy on it. Very confused because there is no "accurate" instructions on the site where to download again. Everything link is pointing towards a purchase, not how to download a product you have already purchased. I did download the software from the creative cloud free trial and its on my Surface Pro 3 now. Tried to register with the SN from my purchase last week (because I can have 2 devices) but it does not recognize the version of the software on my device and will not accept the SN to complete the registration.
So I guess that was lucky on my part, but is potentially an issue for you. If you bought a copy for each OS, then you have 4 installations you could use for yourself. I have asked before and never gotten an answer of why the MAC and PC S/Ns are different. It would be great to have the same S/N for both systems to ease situations like yours. I seem to remember hearing that the Adobe folks may have a solution for that, but like everything else it is probably hard to find, if it exists.

Options set to have PDFs open in Adobe Acrobat (v 10 Pro) outside FF. File partially downloads and error message pops up indicating "There was an error opening this document. The file was damaged and could not be repaired.". Same result if Option is switched to having PDF open inside of FF. Not consistent - download will fail several times in a row, and then function properly. This issue began with V. 29 of FF, not seen previously. Adobe Acrobat is up-to-date, v. 10.1.10.
Same website, same PDF, works fine in IE or Chrome.
Running on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1.Scanning occurs on the MS Exchange Server level, not my desktop, and occurs on imported files on ALL browsers, not only FF. Based on that, one wonders why the outcome would be different unless FF was treating the incoming files and/or the security scanning differently, leading to the failure of the downloads. As to the size, most of the files ARE a few MBs or more - that is the size of the PDFs I am interested in downloading.
