Interactive PDFs won't scale in Acrobat Reader

Once I create an interactive PDF using InDesign CS5 and view it in Acrobat Reader 10, the functionality works fine but when I scale the page size in Acrobat Reader from 100% to larger or smaller, the interactive elements stay at 100% and are cropped when the scale is smaller and have a large space around them when the scale is larger.
Is there an export feature that allows the interactive elements to scale with the page size? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks.

How did you create it? There was a known issue with the original release of CS5 but that was supposed to be fixed with one of the patches. If you're on CS5 then you should make sure you're fully patched to 7.0.3.

How to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

PDF Opens Fine in Acrobat Reader (Windows), Won't Open in Acrobat Reader (Playbook)

Hi. Anyone have a suggestion for a PDF file that opens fine in Adobe Acrobat Reader on one platform (in my case, both Windows Vista and Windows 7), but won't open on another (in my case, Blackberry Playbook)? This is a camera operation manual from Pentax: I have downloaded it from Canadian, US and Japanese websites (different file names, same file size), but always get the same result.
Here are some of the details:
1. I can see the PDF file on both platforms, and it's the same size on both platforms (i.e. it's not a copying error creating a null-sized file on the Playbook).
2. Technically, you could say it "opens" on the Playbook, because Adobe Acrobat Reader launches... but the document reads like a zero-page blank file.
3. All the other PDFs I've ever used on the Playbook are fine: I have PDFs with hundreds more pages than this one, and they read and open OK.
I would get around the problem by saving the PDF in a different format, but password protection is preventing me from doing that.
Any suggestions you can offer will be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Kenneth, I am having this same issue but I am in a domain controlled environment. What I discovered is that I had to go to the actual exe file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe then right click on the exe, run as local administrator. Then I got a pop-up talking about this protected mode that I have seen in other places. I chose to ALWAYS open with protected mode disabled. Then my reader opened and worked perfectly. UNTIL I closed it and tried to open it again as my user. My problem is that I can't even get to the settings as my user to be able to disable protected mode. It seems the setting change is user to user not system wide. I hope this helps. Hopefully though I can get some help on being able to disable protected mode for the whole system. I currently can't find a registry key...there must be one!!

Interactive PDF rollover states flashing in Acrobat XI

Hello,
I am having a problem with an interactive PDF I created in Adobe InDesign and am viewing in Acrobat XI. Any buttons that I have created with rollover states are flashing (disappearing and reappearing) whenever I actually mouse over them. A previous PDF I created with rollovers doesn't experience this problem at all and works fine. The functionality of the buttons still works but the flashing is very frustrating and looks unprofessional and this is for a client deliverable... Would love to know if there is any fix for this. The buttons and rollovers were created in InDesign (they are not links) so I have no idea why it keeps doing that.
I am running Adobe InDesign CC 2014.1 (10.1.0.71) and Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10.
Thanks!

Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

How to Print a PDF file and Close the ACrobat Reader opened using WEBUTIL

Hi All,
I have used WEBUTIL successfully and printed files using webutil_host.nonblocking builtin. What happens is that after printing the file the Acrobat reader stays on the desktop of the client PC. How to close that file opened programmatically. I am unable to close it using any any commands or using following builtins from WEBUTIL.
WEBUTIL_HOST.RELEASE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID)
WEBUTIL_HOST.TERMINATE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID);My command to directly call the Acrobat reader file and print it is by using this command.
M_STR_COMMAND := 'cmd.exe /c start AcroRd32.exe /t '||CHR(34)||FILE_STR_PATH||'\'||FILE_NAME||CHR(34)||' '||CHR(34)||PRINTER_NAME||CHR(34);Help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.

Unable to open two PDF's at once in Acrobat Reader 9.1.1

Hello:
We are having problems at the company I work at when trying to two PDF's at once. When the second one is opened, it reboots the computer. There are no errors showing in Event Viewer. There are no firewalls that would be causing this issue.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

PDF Forms - Which versions of Acrobat / Reader do they work in?

I'm trying to persuade a client to start using pdf forms that I've created in the latest Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I've tested the forms using Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on the Mac. The two versions work differently but I've come up with a work-around solution that means I can give the same advice to users of both versions of Reader.
But I could do with knowing if pdf forms work in earlier versions of Acrobat / Reader? Macs & PCs?
And if they don't work, what sort of warning will come up on screen? Ie. Will it say that they need to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader and give a link? - which would be good! Or will some other error message come up that will just cause confusion?
Has Adobe published any advice anywhere?

The Forms Creation where you use filliable forms that can be saved and attached to email, (500 returns max - using the Advanced > Extend Features in Reader). Works also in version 7 or reader. Nothing below 7 will work.

Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files. Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower.
Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files. I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists.
I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
Apparently, it's something about this latest update.
The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem.
Here is the error:
The offending file can be gotten from here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
/Mike

Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
"We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01). This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

I can't see the contents of some PDF's since I installed Acrobat Reader X

My OS is Windows 7 Pro
The PDF's are good because in MS Outlook 2010 (preview) or with earlier versions of Acrobat (Acrobat 9 or less) I see correctly the document.
These PDF's are created automatically by external sites (eg home banking) and contains text (showing bank transfers or extracts)
Can Anyone help-me, I don't want to install a older version of acrobat but I can´t see other solution
Regards and thanks

I, I have the Acrobat Reader X, its completely Updated
Thanks for the help. I already try to change the parameter
Try Edit>Preferences>General>Application startup and deselect "Enable protected mode at startup."
But with the some results, the reader doesn’t say anything and show a blank screen.
It's very strange.

Opens pdf with windows media not acrobat reader

When I try to read PDF files, windows media opens not Acrobat reader, although I have checked acrobat reader to open these files.

fwiw - A combination of Acrobat / Adobe Reader that are not the same release is not recommended/supported by Adobe.
As long as you have to use Acrobat 9 it'd be best to stay with Adobe Reader 9.
Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013 and is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

404 page Interactive PDF won't export

I have been trying to export a 404 page InDesign Document as an interactive PDF, however, each time I do...it stalls out. And when I check the application and it says "Application not responding."
I then tried to export it as a low res regular PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks InDesign Crashed.
Am I doing something wrong? Can you not export files that are this large (ID file is 89MB)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Brandi

Can you export in two pieces, i.e the front half and then the back half?

Interactive pdf won't work

I just made an interactive pdf using ID. I have a problem when I try to send it. When i press the button send I get the following message
"Error in server connection. Verify that port 993, on your machine is available for connection or contact your administrator..."
What could it be wrong?... I hope some of you can help me :-)

The mailto looks fine.
I tend to advise people against a mailto action. It's OK for testing/toys, it's OK for use among friends who have enough time to get it working, it's OK in some corporate settings where the email is centrally controlled.
Otherwise, it is just unsuitable for real world or commercial use. You've identified one reason why: it depends on whether your computer has an email client installed, set up and ready to go. In some cases, the submit can seem to succeed, but it goes into an unused Outbox, and is never seen.
Consider all the web pages you use with forms and buttons. These could submit to mailto: to. But they never, ever, do, because it just isn't suitable for real world use.
So any serious use of submit uses an http or https URL. The scripts (like all web scripts) must be prepared by a professional web programmer, fully up to date with the latest security issues, otherwise expect your server to be hacked, defaced, or used to send spam or store porn. It saddens me to say this, because it used to be an excellent introductory project, but too much is at stake.
You might ask yourself, why would I even use a PDF form, when it needs much the same work as an HTML form. Consider whether you need the extra features of PDF forms. What they AREN'T is a simpler alternative to HTML forms.

To draw in the pdf using pen tool in acrobat reader x

hi im using the app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); in the javascript of textbox in acrobat pro 9. When i click the text box pen tool is activated and im able to sign in that textbox.
But in acrobat reader 10.1.2 when i click the textbox its not working . i.e (app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); ) is not executing . Is there any other command to get pen tool in acroabat reader x.

Actaully this code is printing a flower using ink tool. can to modify this
code so that instead of printing it should display inktool by using which i
draw my own sign or image etc.
var inch =72, x0 =2* inch, y0=4*inch;
var scaledInch=.5*inch;
var nNodes=60;
var theta=2*Math.PI/nNodes;
var points =new Array();
for(var i=0;i<=nNodes;i++)
Theta =i*theta;
points[i]=[x0+2Math.cos(3Theta)Math.cos(Theta)scaledInch,
y0+2Math.cos(3Theta)Math.sin(Theta)scaledInch];
var annto= this.addAnnot(

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual
