How to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac

how to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac, windows with the option I choose paper source by PDF page size mac but I can not find it. how to get it thank you

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.

How do I make images of text searchable on a Mac?

I am downloading a lot of PDFs from the New York Times archives (c. 1855) for some historical research I'm doing.
I assume the Times has OCR'd their images of these old articles because the text is word-searchable online.
Here are my questions, in descending order of the elation they might evoke. (BTW, I'm on a Mac, running Leopard.)
1. Is the OCR text somehow embedded in the downloaded PDFs and how would I discover and retrieve it, using Acrobat Pro 9?
2. Would it be worth trying Acrobat's built-in OCR tools to make these images word-searchable? (Mid-19th century Times type is pretty wavy and clunky.)
3. Given that Macs can now word-search closed documents' body text, can I at least put key words in text box notes or stickies on these PDFs, to help me find important passages? (I've tried both text boxes and stickies but neither worked.)
Thanks.

For #1 — A PDF supports three OCR outputs. Searchable Image, Searchabel Image (Exact), or ClearScan. If an OCR output is with the NYT's PDFs I'd guess they are the first or the second. Either leaves a "layer" of hidden text.
To retrieve the hidden text you could use Acrobat's File > Export. Choose the output from the choices available.
For #2 — Sure, why not? Using a copy of a PDF give Searchable Image (Exact) a try.
For #3 — You could use Acrobat Pro's Commenting tools. For a "commented" PDF you can use the Comments List for viewing/sorting.
Be well...

Links to other PDF's broke in Preview but work with Adobe

I have a users manual for my car that is made up of a PDF for each section of the manual. In Adobe and Preview, I can open any PDF, click on the different sections in that particular table of contents and go to that page in the PDF. Preview, however, doesn't go to the MAIN table of contents, which is in a different PDF. Anyone know if Preview can link to other PDF's and not just itself? It works fine with Adobe, but not Preview.
Thanks

I find I'm having the same problem, but not just with links to other PDFs. ALL links are non-functioning.
The original document was created in Word, but all the links should work properly. I'm even unable to click on links wherein the text for the link is "http://example.address.com/page.htm"
Considering we've got a district full of Macs, and the default program is Preview ( which is also so much faster to load) It would really be nice if these links worked.

Any idea?
Thanks

How do we just make a PDF file text sensitive/readable?

My question: it is straightforward to convert a PDF to a Word document, but I just wish to make it OCR readable - also, formerly, this had the advantage of somewhat "cleaning" and straightening a skewed scan. How can I?

Hey! Thanks. Just to add to this, I finally realized I had to upgrade "twice" all the way to "PRO" in order to have that feature. This is why I could not see it before. Having done so now, it is easy as you just click on the "A - in this file" icon. Works perfectly.

PDF won't open on Mac with Adobe Reader Error message:Adobe Reader could not open

I have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Mac, (10.7.3) and am having problems opening pdfs. I get an error message: Adobe Reader could not open file name.pdf 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). The files are not from emails, but are from websites, government sites, professional organizations etc.) Help! Adobe is no help!

Manually download the files to your computer (right-click on the url). When the file is downloaded to your computer do you get the same message when you try to open in Reader through the File->Open menu? What about when you open the file in Mac's Preview application?

Trying to open a large PDF and receive "an internal error occurred" with Adobe Pro. X

Hello,
We have one user, she has Adobe Pro. X installed, that is having an issue opening a particular PDF that is 37 MBs in size. When she tries to open it up, she receives the "an internal error occurred" message. If she opens up another PDF that is in the same folder (all the PDFs is on the network share) that is smaller in size (less than 100 KB) it opens just fine. I checked for any Adobe updates and downloaded and installed the update(s) that it found.
After it's been patched, I rebooted and still have the same issue. Surprisingly nothing was found in my searches to help this....
Thoughts?

Hi screener333,
Did you get any errors during Acrobat installation?
If Acrobat is crashing during first launch then it might be an issue with licensing as well.
Please check the performance by enbaling the root user account on Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528

How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

Hello all,
We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Jaap

Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
which side is driving that behaviour.

Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro

Hello!
I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
Can this be a configuration error?
Thanks!

The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
Any help would be appreciated.
