Keyboard shortcut for "Save a Copy" in Acrobat 9 Pro?

I cannot find a keyboard shortcut for Save a Copy in Acrobat 9.3.2. THere's nothing in the help docs.
Even more bizarrely, the idiots who designed the GUI assigned the y shortcut on the File menu to both "Modify PDF Portfolio" *AND* "Save a Copy", so hitting Alt + f, y performs only the former not the latter.
Any ideas or am I SOL?
Thanks.

Hi Dan,
"Save a Copy" is Adobe Reader.
It is not associated with Acrobat Professional's "File" drop-down.
fwiw –
For Acrobat Pro 9; a link to a free downloadable 13 x 19 poster in PDF format (for Windows and Mac) is at:

I am a disabled user and I need keyboard shortcuts to program the software. Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut for 'Save link as' ? Very grateful for your help. Thanks. :)

I am using Windows 7 ultimate and Firefox 4. I tried Alt + enter which does not work.

There is no shortcut key for such context menu items. 
You can use the context menu key on the keyboard to open the right-click context menu on a link and press 'k' for the "Save Link As" item. 
You need to press the tab key until you arrive at that link.
You can set the pref browser.display.focus_ring_width to a higher value (I use 3) to make it easier to see which link has focus.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Keyboard shortcut for cropping (Acrobat XI)

Hi. I have a minor question about the cropping feature in Acrobat XI.
In the previous version (X), the keyboard shortcut for crooping PDF pages is Ctrl+Shift+T. However, when I try this combination in the new XI version, it brings up a dialog asking me "where to insert a blank page." According to the help PDF file on Adobe, however, this latter feature should have the shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+Q.
I'm currently using the Chinese - Traditional language version of Acrobat, and the help PDF file I referred to above is also the version in this language. I'm not sure if it occurs in other versions, such as the English language, but I do not expect keyboard shorcuts like this to be altered.
Just something to blame: I really miss the old interface (prior to & including 9), where all the features are accessible on the drop-down menus above. That's also where I learnt the shourcuts - because they follow the titles of the items. It's kind of annoying if I have to press the "crop" button on the right panel and double-click on the page to bring up the dialog. I'm more used to cropping pages by entering edges manually, so that all the pages are exactly the same size. Now I cannot even call up the dialog directly with the supposed-to-be keyboard shortcut in XI.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Set keyboard shortcut for Acrobat DC tools (highlight tool, selection tool)

It seems that this new version Acrobat DC does not have keyboard shortcut for these tools?
How to set shortcuts as the old versions (e.g. U key for highlight, V key for selection)?

Might this link be what you are looking for? https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/keyboard-shortcuts.html
I can't find anything on creating your own shortcuts. Actually, you may want to go to the online help and download the manual in PDF form.

Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
Anyone? Bueller?

There isn't.

CS6 will not save keyboard shortcut for dust & scratches filter

I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system. I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results. I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Thanks

I had a chance to try the script on a windows 8 machine running photoshop cs6 13.01 in both photoshop cs6 versions 32 and 64 bit and shortcuts seem to stay between restarts.
If in photoshop cs6 you go to File>Scripts you can see that the script is actually listed?
When i saved the script out of ExtendScript Toolkit i named it Dust and Scatches.jsx.
Did you run ExtendScript Toolkit as an administrator before saving the script?
(right click on the ExtendScript Toolkit shortcut (tile) and choose Run as Administrator)
Saved to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 32 bit)
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 64 bit)
Another possibilty if you can't get the script to work is using an action (Filter>Dust and Scratches) and assigning a function key for the shortcut.

Keyboard shortcut for Control+F2, F, Enter

Hello,
I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut that would be available to all Applications deliveres the same result as these keystrokes:
1. Control + F2 (move focus to menu bar)
2. F (moves focus to the File menu bar menu)
3. Enter or down arrow (Displays the File menu)
WHat I am looking to do is create the Windows equivalent of alt+F (displays the contents of the File menu)
I have created a System Preferences Keyboard Shortcut for All Applications that has "File" as the description and ^F has the Shortcut...this doesn't work. Is there a way to assign a shortcut to display the menu bar File menu in its open state?

ReidRik_Von
Here's one approach to try...
1) Open System Preferences > Universal Access and make sure "Enable access for assistive devices" is checked.
2) Highlight and copy the block of code below and paste it into your AppleScript Script Editor (located inside your Applications > AppleScript folder):
*tell application "System Events"*
*keystroke tab using command down*
*set theApp to name of (first process whose frontmost is true)*
*tell process theApp*
*click menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1*
*end tell*
*end tell*
Choose Save As from the Script Editor's File menu, File Format: application, leaving the Options unchecked. Give the script application a name (Display File Menu, e.g.), and press Save.
3) To assign a keyboard shortcut, you might consider downloading and installing the excellent Spark program.
From Spark's File menu, set up a New Hot Key to launch an Application, in this case the application being your newly created AppleScript application. When the new System HotKey sheet drops down, hit the Choose button and navigate to the location where your new AppleScript application was saved. Select it and press Open. Click inside the editable Shortcut field to make it active, and on your keyboard keystroke Option (alt), plus the letter "f." Then press Create.
Start the Spark Daemon by selecting it from the File menu, or by pressing the Stark Spark Daemon button on the Spark panel itself, and then quit Spark altogether. The Spark Daemon and your enabled keyboard shortcut will run as a hidden process, using a minimal amount of RAM.
It worked for me...
Good luck!

How do I generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for any given application

I want to generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for all of the applications I have on my Mac. I want the list to be a simple text (or rtf) file that I can edit and organize. (By edit, I don't mean change the shortcuts, only the report of them.)
I was using Key Cue, but it does not let me save the list to a text file.
I want this for several purposes. One is to have a easy to reference list of shortcuts to learn. Another is to find unused key combinations that I can use for my own keyboard shortcuts that I create with DefaultKeyBinding.dict.
Note: The program doesn't have to an OS X app. A program that runs from a shell without a GUI is plenty adequate.
If there is a way to read the keyboard commands from a plist list or other such file, and any of you know the format for these or where I can find them, I can write a Perl script myself to do it.

Well, the info is stored in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
PlistPro has a way to convert it to ASCII, but you'll srtill have work to do, as...

Apple Mail creating a new keyboard shortcut for delete

What is the keyboard shortcut for extract page?

There used to be a series of keyboard shortcuts for page manipulation (and other) - using acrobat 9 till recently. Now new to Acrobat XI Pro (Windows 8.1). I can see the shortcuts for insert & delete page but not for extract page (and other). Am I missing something? The keyboard shortcuts are a must for speed and a healthy right wrist.
Thank-you for your time.

There isn't a direct way of doing it, but you can "hack" it using a script. Create a folder-level script with this code:
app.addMenuItem({cName: "MyExtractPages", cUser: "E&xtract Pages", cParent: "Edit",
cExec: "app.execMenuItem(\"ExtractPages\");", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target!=null)"});
This will add a new menu item to the Edit menu which you could access using the following keyboard shortcut: Alt+E, X

Keyboard shortcut for Compare Documents (or configurable keyboard shortcuts)

Hi,
I'm guessing the ability to configure Keyboard Shortcuts as one can in other Adobe applications is coming soon to Acrobat (the software release cycles haven't quite synched up yet), but if there are no plans for this, I would appreciate a Keyboard Shortcut for a function I use very frequently: Compare Documents.
Thanks much,
Adam

If you go to system prefs - keyboard & mouse - keyboard shortcuts you can set a shortcut for anything that is in the mail menus.
click the + at bottom left to add one, select mail from the applications drop down, then type in the exact name of the mail menu item you want a shortcut for eg :Add Hyperlink . Then find a shortcut combo that isn't in use by something else & there you are.
I prefer the edit link, so's you get a neat link, rather than the (sometimes) 3 line url.
checking the way mail works while interested in another post
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=367990&tstart=0
we've noticed that mail doesn't send rtf that outlook on an exchange server likes
unless you not only enable rtf, but also actually make some alteration that really requires rtf. That's to say a different font,a larger font, italics, a signature in italics, a colour etc.
The fact that your composed message displays in arial 48pt (for example) doesn't cut it - it'll still be sent as plain unless you do one of the above. Making a change & reversing it works too.

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

InDesign Keyboard Shortcut for Submenu Item

I am attempting to make a keyboard shortcut for a particular menu selection in InDesign CS5. Particularly, I want to select an Adobe PDF Preset
("PDF/X-1a:2001") from the submenu. However, when I try select this in Keyboard Shortcuts, all I get is "Define" .. which of couse will bring me to the presets window. I want to be able to select a preset and assign a keyboard shortcut (in this case F15).
Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done? I tried various ways, but still can't select anything from that submenu.
Thanks.

Hey,
I agree with Cari! Using SHIFT while clicking on PDF preset name would speed up things! On the other hand, you can use scripting to define which export profile to use and choose destination folder. Great thing about the scripts is that you can assign custom shortcuts to them!
// Set PDF Preset name
var myPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
// If not using CS5 or later, set this to: false
var usingCS5 = true;
/// --- DO NOT EDIT --- ///
if(app.documents.length)
    doExport();
else
    alert("No documents opened");
function doExport(){
    try{app.pdfExportPresets.item(myPreset).name}
    catch(_){
        alert("PDF Preset not found!\nPlease check name and try again!");
        exit();
    var myFile = (function(){
        var setFile = File.saveDialog ("PDF export based on " + myPreset + " ...", "PDF:*.pdf");
        if(setFile != null)
            return setFile;
        else
            return false;
    if(myFile != false){
        if(Boolean(usingCS5))
            app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
        else
            app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
All you have to set is PDF preset name and you are good to go! Also, you can save this script with different names containing different presets name and assign different shortcuts to every one of them.
Hope that helps.
