'Keep tool selected' in Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10

Why can't I find 'Keep tool selected' for any of my markup tools in Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10? I want to only once select the 'Draw arrow' tool for example and then draw as many arrows as possible. I DO NOT want to have to go back and select the arrow tool after each and every arrow I draw ... amazing.!!! I saw that in previous versions they had this toggle 'Keep tool selected' but now I cannot find in anywhere in acrobat xi pro 11.0.10, which to my knowledge is the latest.
Can anyone tell me where to find this or if not that then is there a workaround? Cos at the moment there's just say extra mileage on my cursor.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work for me. When I tick "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" and then close the document, then when I reopen it afterwards it only opens at the same page at which I closed it, but the Comments panel remains closed, so I need to reopen it again. That is what I was asking. Is there a way to have to Comments panel expanded every single time I open a PDF. "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" does not do that, at least as far as I see.

Keep Tool Selected with Stamps

Since upgrading to Acrobat Version 9, I've been having a Stamps problem. I've created a number of custom stamps, and I have work processes where I am required to stamp every page of a several-hundred page document. When I had 8.0, I could mark the checkbox for "Keep Tool Selected" and then just alternate between Pg Down and left-click to apply the stamps in rapid succession. So far I have not been able to get version 9.0 to let me keep the tool selected. For each individual stamp I have to click on the toolbar, then where I want the stamp applied, then the tool bar, then where I want the next stamp applied, and so on, and so on... This is a lot of extra moving of the mouse that slows the process down tremendously. Is this a bug in 9.0, or am I missing a setting somewhere?

It took me a ridiculous amount of time to find the answer to this. I suppose it all has to do with the correct search terms. Select the tool (Stamp in this case), but don't use it yet. Click on View > Toolbars > Properties Bar. This is were you can select "Keep Tool Selected".
Hopefully this will help someone else who stumbles across this page and can't find the answer.

Geospatial Registration Tool Missing from Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm running Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows and am trying to georegister a PDF, however when I bring up the Analysis toolbar there are only three tools:
Object Data
Measuring Tool
Geospatial Location Tool
The fourth tool (the Geospatial Registration Tool) is missing! I've tried resetting the toolbar and it's not in the Tools > Analysis menu either.
Thanks.

This tool is available in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

Combining Word Documents - Selecting Pages - Acrobat X Pro

Hi,
I am hoping someone can tell me where I can find the setting to be able to do the following action,
When combining different types of files, I get different behaviour for selecting pages, i.e. the "Preview and Select Page Range" dialog,
e.g. for a pdf file, in the preview pane, I can navigate through the pages with the buttons at the bottom,
However, when I try to select the pages in a word, powerpoint etc. document I get a different behaviour,
As you can see, there are no navigate buttons. The preview also appears to be in "outline" mode, i.e. doesn't show page gaps. Just a continuous preview of the document. This makes it very difficult to actually choose which pages to combine without having to open the document itself and determine the pages I want, i.e. defeating the purpose of having a preview pane at all.
I had a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, but then we got the full version. I am sure that in the trial version I had the navigate buttons, or at least got the page breaks shown.
Is there a setting that might have changed?
What could be going on?
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Yeah, that is my current work around. I open the word document separately, find the pages that I want to combine and enter those into the Acrobat X dialogue box.
However, that sorta defeats the purpose of having the preview and select pages dialogue box in Acrobat!!
Futhermore, I am sure it worked in the trial version I had before. So I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that just needs to be turned on/off.

No, Acrobat can't do that.

Text Tools Greyed out Acrobat 9 Pro

I really need to do a quick fix on a PDF document. My text tools are greyed out. There are no security issues on the document. I put "never" in the PDF/A view Mode as per another person suggested when I googled. I can't get anything to work.

I opened the document on my home Mac computer and the text tool worked! My 'newer' home Mac came with Lion. My Mac at work was purchased in May 2008 and it came with Tiger. I had to upgrade it to Leopard and then Snow Leopard, then Lion. I think these upgrades have caused lots of problems. I took my Mac into an Apple Store and they upgraded it to the point for me to purchase Lion, which I did. I have a bunch of Adobe products and have had problems with many of them since upgrading to Lion (Tiger worked great). Bridge gets stuck all the time and I have to force quit it all the time. Can't drag and drop files very easily in Bridge. Photoshop has some problems, and there are other nusances I can't think of right now when I work in InDesign and Illustrator. Just don't know what to do about it. (I am the only Mac user at work.)
I guess the text tools worked because I shut down the computer at the end of the day. I didn't think about rebooting when I had the problems because I am getting use to having so many!
Thanks for trying to help me. If you have hear of any of the other problems I wrote above and can lead me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.

Is there really no way to keep the Typewriter Tool selected in v8.2.1?

Hello All:
I find it almost unbelievable that Adobe Acrobat Professional cannot keep the Typewriter Tool selected; is this possibly true?
I use many scanned formed that simply do not convert; I cannot make all of the entry fields text boxes. That wouldn't matter if the person completing the form could simply use the typewriter tool, as I am not looking to massage the data in any way. But to ask them to click on the Typewriter Tool after every single entry is ludicrous. Instead, they print out the forms and answer them in pen! (Kinda defeats the whole point.)
Is there any way to keep the Typewriter Tool selected?

Have you checked the 'keep tool selected' checkmark in the Properties for the Typewriter tool? You have to do it after you have selected the Typewriter tool, but before you have actually used it.

OS X 10.10.2 and Acrobat 9 Pro

I just updated to 10.10.2 and now my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro appears to have lost functionality including OCR and link to Mail. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Yes, thanks. That worked.
It took a while to find out how to do this. Apparently, one needs to,
"Select the tool (Highlight in this case), but don't use it yet Click on View> Toolbars > Properties Bar. This is were you can select "Keep Tool Selected""
Thanks to dikaryonSOS, who posted the instructions on how to do this on Feb 15, 2011 9:18 AM.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?

Hello
I have one question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I donwloaded Creative Suite 5 Master Collection Trial version and after check installer there is't Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Why Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro are't in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection? Becouse it's trial version or another reason?
Thanks

Hi,
The trial CS5 will only have the "new" applications.
Acrobat 9, not be "new", won't be in the trial.
Should you purchase CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro will be on the install media.
If you download, there will be two items to obtain.
--| CS5 suite selected/purchased
--| Acrobat 9 Pro

Reinstalling Acrobat 8 Pro from CS3 Design Premium, asking for Photoshop Elements 6 CD??

Hi.
I use a Macbook Pro with Leopard OS X version 10.5.8, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo, $ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium which came with Acrobat 8 Professional. Now, for a while I've been having issues updating Acrobat because it said it had been modified blah blah and something about plugins being disabled, so to rectify reinstall and run updates. I've seen alot of people on forums with this same issue.
For a long time I ignored this as the program was still working, but today it urked me enough to unistall (which I did by dragging it from the applications to trash) and try to reinstall.
So I tried. Put the CD in, selected only Acrobat 8 Pro for reinstallation, all went well until it asked me to put in the Photoshop Element 6 CD.... which I never had. Although the program does come on the CD. So i'm left confused, without acrobat pro and wishing i had never uninstalled!
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Any help would be much appreciated!

I resorted to using the live chat feature that Adobe have on the website. We found that once everything was uninstalled and then just reinstalled Acrobat alone, I wasn't asked to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 CD to continue and everything was fine. No problems. But, when I tried to then reinstall the rest of the suite, it asked for the CD.
So, the way to avoid it asking for the CD was to uninstall CS3 Design Premium completely and then reinstall all the programs. And everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this was an obvious solution, but I didn't want to risk uninstalling all the programs only to be asked for a non-existent CD when reinstalling.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

Unable to select fields in Acrobat XI Pro forms tools/editor to calculate

First, in Acrobat XI Pro forms editor when attempting to calculate fields, I am unable to select the fields (click) to calculate. I can only select all or deselect all.
Also, if my simple spreadsheet formula is:
=IF(Value01>0,SUM(Value01*(Value02-Value03)),"")
Is there a straight forward way to translate that formula into a functioning calculating script in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Forms tools (or FormsCentral)?
Thanks for any input.

Regarding the calculation, it can be done with a script. This is a good place to start learning about such scripts in Acrobat:

ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

Good Day -
I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful. So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
Thank-you!

First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

Not good tool for handwritting comments in Adobe Acrobat X pro

Hi,
I have evaluated Adobe Acrobat X pro for adding handwritting comments on my university pdf documents.
I normally use Office One Note 2010 to take quite good notes but the official college documents are .pdf format., so
it is very useful to be able to take notes over those .pdf.
The main problem is that the Adobe handwritting tool doesn´t work very well: it is a bit slow from moving your tablet-pen to
the line on the document; if you try to write to different lines together, Adobe understands that you want to select the first one (try to
write 90º line with to lines).
It would be great if Adobe gives Acrobat possibilities similar to Office One Note, even to develop a new solution to take notes .pdf format.
Thanks
