Insert Symbols in Adobe Reader 11

Hi, I'd like to know how to insert delta symbols into an interactive Adobe Reader form (I have version 11,0,3,37 with windows 7)... Copying and pasting does not work... Thanks! Clara

Ok, I found a way... type the symbols into Microsoft word as Unicode:
(Several Microsoft applications, including WordPad and Microsoft Word: press Alt-X after typing some hex digits.  You see the digits as you type them, and they're replaced by the Unicode equivalent.  Pressing Alt-X again converts it back to numbers) http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm
Save as a pdf, then copy and paste the symbols (also works for superspript/subscripts) into Adobe reader.
Maybe not the best way but it works!

  • Error, Adobe Reader override Windows Icons

    Yes, i need help ....
    After a new install of the newest Adobe Reader version on my new "Windows Home Premium SP2" Laptop (Amilo Xi 2528)
    all Windows and other application icons override with the symbol of Adobe Reader. *arrrrg*
    Only a deinstall of Adobe Reader can fix the problem.
    Some ideas here???
    Customer must use a free PDF Viewer now, because we dont find a fix for that problem
    I found a info in a other Info-Forum, but i dont want to use the registry-hack tipp, and this guy use Win7.
    Hope to find help here.
    ThanX

    Yes, we have seen this a couple of times here in the forum; it occurs only on Vista and Windows 7.
    It seems someone has found that creating a new user profile fixes the problem.

  • Why can't I insert pages in Adobe XI anymore?

    Since I've downloaded updates for Adobe Reader XI now I can't insert pages or delete pages. Am I doing something wrong or did they change the easy way I was doing it before?

    You never, never could insert pages in Adobe Reader. But you could in Adobe Acrobat.
    My guess is that you had Adobe Acrobat, but were invited to download Adobe Reader. This destroyed your Acrobat install, which you will probably want to put back if you can find the disks and serial number, or have a suitable full system backup.

  • How to set a form field in pro so an 'adobe reader' user can insert a jpg (not a pdf) as an image. It used to work but now doesn't.

    I think this question has been asked a million times before but I'm hoping something has been resolved now! It did work for me and my client a few months ago (by using the 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();' script. I'm 99% certain it worked fine a few months ago, where the adobe reader user could select a jpg to insert...but now it only allows a pdf. Does anyone know if anything can be done? I know you may say LiveCycle but is there really nothing else?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's nothing to solve. If Reader (XI only) is used only PDF files can be selected. This is how it's supposed to work (although I agree it's silly and should be changed).

  • Adobe Reader 9 pdf printing turns text into symbols

    I am trying to print a pdf file, when it starts printing all of the text turns into random symbols, I am trying to print a rebate and this is really frustrating. I saved the online pdf to my HardDrive, then I try to print it after opening with Adobe Reader 9. I have tried printing it as an image, and still the same occurs, my printer is fine, it prints word documents and notepad perfectly, I have all the latest updates, so I do not know why this is happening.

    I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

  • How to insert a symbol in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

    hello, how can i insert a symbol in Adobe Acrobat ?
    I try many things, like edit in FontCreator, but nothing.
    Pls help

    >can u pls tell me more about Character Map !
    Character Map is a standard part of Windows, which is a vital tool in
    adding characters you cannot type.
    >
    >I know about All Programs → Accessories → System Tools, and you will see Character Map
    That's what I mean.
    >
    >But this will help a little bit, because i have 330 words with that missing symbol, and i have to stay all day to arrange it on every phrase.
    If Character Map works, there is hope. But why do you need to take any
    longer? You copy text from Character Map once, and paste it 330 times?

  • Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

    We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
    1.  Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
    2.  Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
    3.  After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
    The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro.  It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    1- Thank you
    2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
    Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense.  Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle.  If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
    3- This also totally sucks.  In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
    So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
    And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
    We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums?  Really?

  • Insert PDFs into Power Point with Adobe Reader 10 doesn't work

    Hello,
    When I try to insert a PDF Document into a Power Point Sheet (Microsoft Office 2003) the following an error occurred: "Die Serveranwendung , die Quelldatei oder das Element konnte nicht gefunden werden oder ein unbekannter Fehler wurde zurückgemeldet. Installieren Sie die Serveranwendung unter Umständen erneut." In English it would be somethink like: "Die Serverapplikation, the sourcefile or the element could not be found or an unknown error get recalled. According to the circumstances install the serverapplication again."
    The error appears when I click in Power Point on "Insert" then on "Object" and then on "OK" if the Adobe Acrobat Document is selected. The error occurred since I use Adobe Reader X on Windows XP and on Windows 7.
    Have anyone any idea, or know a solution?
    Greetings from Cologne

    Hallo Andreas,
    hier wie versprochen die Keys um den Geschützen Modus per Gruppenrichtlinie zu de/aktiveren.
    Der Key für Geschützer Modus wenn er aktiviert ist lautet:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000001
    Und demensprechend lautet der Key für den deaktiverten "Protected Mode":
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    Hallo Werner,
    wir benutzen hier Windows 7 x64, sowie Windows XP x86. Allerdings haben wir bei beiden Systemen keine Probleme wenn wir den Geschützen Modus deaktiveren.
    Kannst du mir vielleicht noch die nachfolgenden 3 Fragen beantworten, damit ich ein bessere Vorstellung vom Problem habe?
    Welches MS Office (bzw. PP) nutzt ihr?
    Über welchen Weg bzw. über welche Funktion wollt ihr das PDF in PP implmentieren/einbetten?
    Wie genau lautet der Text der Fehlermeldung?
    Grüße aus dem verregneten Köln

  • Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
    Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

    Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

  • In Adobe Reader (11.0) the typing is very slow when I insert sticky notes.

    I bought a new laptop and I just installed the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    When I insert sticky notes, typing is very slow. This doesn't happen with the
    other program. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I still have the same problem.

    This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them.  Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file.  If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
    This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
    Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.10 - crashing after inserting multiple comments

    I have not used comments much before in Adobe Reader. I have been using them heavily the past 2 days in a detailed review. I have been saving after every few comments, as Reader has closed unexpectedly many times. The PDF files are on a network share where I have full access. Also it will not save my default font settings for inserting a text comment, or my "favorite" stamps, or basically any settings that I customize. This is very frustrating as I need to change those every time after it crashes. And sometimes it will crash after a save with the same results.
    We're on Win7 SP1 32-bit, if that matters.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did not find any similar posts about comments in Reader.
    Thanks,

    Hey elongp,
    Please disable protected mode by unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' under "Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)"
    Hope it sorts the issue.
    Let me know.

  • Inserting blank pages on Adobe Reader for Android

    I'm a student and I use the Adobe Reader app for all my note-taking in lectures. If the lecture slides aren't released as .pdfs, I convert them before I go to my lecture because the Adobe Reader for Android app is so good for notetaking.
    However, economics is full of graphs, and I have to draw these on my lecture pad because there's rarely enough space on the slide pdfs. Is it possible to insert empty pages on Adobe Reader for Android? If not, are there plans to make this a feature? I think it would make Adobe Reader for Android the only notetaking app students need.

    Generally I just save the file as PDF in Powerpoint, but if I don't have access to a computer, I use the app PowerPoint2PDF on my Nexus 7.
    iAnnotate has the ability to create blank pages when taking notes on a PDF, but it's much clunker than Adobe Reader on Android.

  • How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

    How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

    An other way is to copy the pdf with Windows explorer into the path /documents of the phone. Open Office and choose Adobe Reader. The pdf will be copyed in the Sandbox of the Reader and You may read it. You may delete the PDF in the documents path. It will still be in the Readers sandbox. All without any cloud ;-)!

  • Adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    Sorry
    should be “displaying”
    Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
    But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.

  • Insert Adobe Reader document into a Word document.

    How do I insert an Adobe Reader document in to a Microsoft Word document?  I have the Windows 7 operating system.

    You can insert it as an object, via Insert - Object. You can't insert its contents into the Word file directly, unless you copy them and then paste them in your document or convert the PDF to a Word file (not possible with just the free Reader).
