Locking pages on Acrobat Professional

Have just started using Acrobat Professional and was
wondering how you lock pages so that you can only navigate around
the document using the links. At the moment when you just click
anywhere on the page it takes you to the next page and i want to
stop this happening. Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks

PS this only seems to be a problem when you are in full
screen mode

It's been some time since this post but I was wondering if you ever found the answer? I am having the exact same issue.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, Locking toolbars

In Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, how do I keep the Comment & Markup Toolbar from repopulating itself with the functions I've unchecked in the "More Tools" add/remove window? I've selected Lock Toolbars, however upon next reboot, they're back again. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know the answer but i am facing the same problem.
As far as i know this error does not appear in Acrobat 9 but unfortunately i have only Version 8.
Any help on this is highly appreciated!

Pages not cropping or rotating in Acrobat Professional 8.3.1

I am using Acrobat Professional 8.3.1 on Mac 10.5.6. When cropping or rotating pages in Press Quality PDFs I have created in Distiller, the operation is sometimes ignored or says can't find pages when all is selected, choosing the option a number of times eventually works, the quicker I select the options, the more chance there is that it works. I have reinstalled the programme but I still have the problem.
Any ideas, I wonder will an upgrade to 9 help, I am reluctant to spend the money if the problem persists.

I didn't.
However, after my initial post, I noticed that there were many other options not present, so I did a repair installation. The redaction option, along with these other options, is now back.

"Page Properties" grayed out in Acrobat Professional XI

I create PDF fact sheets and newsletters from Adobe InDesign CS 6. I am using Acrobat Professional XI. I am tasked with making these PDFs accessible to assistive reading technology.
I carefully set up tags and reading order in InDesign, but in order to import that structure into the PDF, I need to access Page Properties in the Options menu of Page Thumbnails. But Page Properties is grayed out. It is not accessible to me.
I checked to be sure the Acrobat Accessibility plug-in is loaded. It is not loaded.
Need to know how to
Enable Page Properties in Acrobat Pro 11.0.9
Load the Accessibility.api plug-in

Answer is to select all pages in the Pages thumbnail. Got it from an Adobe video on accessible PDFs from InDesign Preparing Accessible PDFs with Adobe InDesign CS5.5: Part II | Accessibility @ Adobe | Adobe TV

Acrobat Professional 8: How to create a PDF which will print most pages in A4, but some in A3?

I am very new to Acrobat Professional 8 - Can anyone tell me how to create a basic PDF document to print most pages in A4, but some in A3?
Currently my document is set up as a binder, do I need to set it up as a PDF package?
thanks.

Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
I will explain better my problem:
I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
Thank you very much!

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional. I need to know how to create multi-links on 300 page docs

I need to know how to create multi-links on a 300 page document, showing "return to main Menu". Ideally placed on the bottom right of each page. I have adobe acrobat Professional.

Import a picture to be a button, place it, activate HYPERLINK tool, draw a rectangle around the whole button, in the window popping up select the link behaviour, submit with OK.
Then copy & paste the button object to every page. I don't know whether pasting it on every of the 300 pages can be automated, but if not, it is still done quite fastly.

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

Hi Doctoromaka,
Are you unable to delete pages from any PDF, or is the problem specific to one file? If it's just one file, is it possible that the document has permissions applied that would prevent you from modifying the file? (You would see "SECURED" in the title bar of the PDF if it's been secured.) (Also, make sure that the file is open in Acrobat Pro, not Adobe Reader--I always have the two open simultaneously, and sometimes don't realize which one I'm working in.)
If the problem is widespread, what's changed on your system?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
Thanks for any tips.

Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

Problem in creating PDF of Website using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.

I am trying to create PDF file of full website using "Create PDF from Web Page..." option, in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.
It is creating PDF but the page alignments/text/images alignments are lost and doesn't look good.
Can any one help to create the PDF same as webpage look and feel.
Thanks.

Acrobat 8's HTML->PDF engine is quite old and doesn't work well with modern web pages. I'd recommend trying the same page using Acrobat X (trial available) where the engine has been replaced and modernized.

Not able to import .FLV into Welcome Page in Acrobat Portfolio

Hello,
I would like to import either an FLV or an SWF file into the Welcome Page of an Acrobat Portfolio. It does not work if I import an FLV, and it only half works if I import an SWF.
I've put together a video illustrating the problems I have. I am not sure if 1. my expectations are too high, 2. there is a bug in Acrobat Professional, or if 3. There is a mistake in the documentation.

Document Compare Function in Acrobat Professional 9

Document Compare function
I use the 'compare' function to compare documents versions etc for changes. It looks like only 250 pages is the maximum number of pages that can compared during each operation.
I am using documents that are 900+ pages and I keep the error message/screenshot attached.
Is this a limitation with Acrobat Professional 9?

Yes, it would appear to be a limitation that Adobe have put in. I'm in a similar situatiion where I have documents up to 2500 pages long that must be compared so while it takes longer I do the compare in batches of 250 pages at a time. It could be as a result of resource usage. I'm finding that when I do a compare, the fisrt one is generally ok but after that Acrobat slows down considerably - it may just be my computer (XP Pro 1.5 GB RAM and 2.8 GHz) but I'd like to know does Acrobat empty the cache or is the cache filling up after each compare and hogging resources?
It's a great function but I wish it would work the way I expect it to.
Cheers

Error using the distiller in Acrobat Professional 8 to create a PDF from an Aspose.Words .doc docume

Hi,
We use Aspose.Words to create Microsoft Word (.doc) documents from one of our Intranet applications. These documents are then further modified in Microsoft Word and are then converted to PDF files using the distiller in Acrobat 8 Professional.
The distiller ends with a message saying it encountered an error and could not complete the conversion.
If we create a document directly in Microsoft Word and then use the distiller to convert it to a PDF, the distiller runs just fine.
Would you have any idea of what might be causing this problem? The distiller gives no indication of the cause of the problem, only that is one!
I also tried using the Create Adobe PDF Online service to convert the same Aspose.Words .doc file and it worked fine.
Any help you can give on this would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I mistakenly referred to the distiller.
We are using PDF Maker in Word. It appears as an icon on the Word toolbar once Acrobat Professional 8 has been installed. When I open the Aspose.Words .doc document in Word and click on the toolbar icon, PDF Maker launches and starts the conversion program and then Microsoft Word ends with their standard message "Microsoft Word has encountered an error and needs to close...".
I also tried going into Acrobat Professional 8 and chose File --> Create PDF --> From File off the menu bar. I selected the same Aspose.Words .doc document file to convert and once again the conversion process started, but this time it gave me the following error message:
"Unable to convert PDF file.
Invalid page range or conversion setting parameters."
When I clicked on OK to clear the message, I got the following:
"Acrobat could not open 'xxxxx.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft applications."
I assume that since the on-line service can successfully convert this document, it is a supported file type and is not damaged (not sent as an email attachment, so no issue there). I tried opening the document in Word and printing it to Adobe PDF and that worked, but my users really like the convenience of the Acrobat toolbar so I would like them to be able to use it to create PDF files from Aspose.Words documents.
I am using all the default settings. Is there some setting I should be changing?
As I mentioned earlier, I did try the Create Adobe PDF on-line service with this same file and it worked just fine, so there seems to be a difference between how the on-line service does the conversion and how PDF Maker does it. Printing the document to Adobe PDF also works, so again, there must be some difference in the way PDF Maker does it.
Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much!

Accessibility in Acrobat Professional 8- MAC platform

I am having issues in Acrobat Professional 8 in the accessibility section. I have a document that was originally created in InDesign CS3, then exported as a PDF and opened in Acrobat Professional. After opening I go to File- Properties and set the language as English US. Then I go to the Advanced menu to Accessibility- full check and select the Name under Checking Options to be "section 508 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications (1194.22) and make sure that all the boxes are checked. Then I hit "Start Checking". A message dialog appears that says, "The checker found problems which may prevent the document from being fully accessible." I then click "Ok". It brings me back to my document. The accessibility report opens on the left hand side. Under summary it says, "The checker found problems which may prevent the document from being fully accessible.
(a) Passed automatic verification
(b) Not applicable
(c) Needs manual verification by user

(j) Not applicable

It doesn't tell me what needs to be fixed. Has anyone ever run into this issue? Or have any suggestion on how to fix it? My document needs to be 508 Compliant.
Thank you,
Jessica
