My PDF presets/joboptions dont work in Acrobat Pro 9.0 - help!

We just upgraded from CS2 & Acrobat Pro 7 -- to CS4 & Acrobat Pro 9 - Windows.
Previously I would go here: C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Shared Documents/Adobe PDF/Settings to manage my joboptions. But after my upgrade, when I go to create a PDF from Illustrator, none of my job options are in the pulldown menu.
In the past I could just paste my joboption files in this folder and wa-lah! Now they're in the folder, but I cant use them... Is there a different location I should put them? Are my old joboptions incompatible with the upgrade? Im having a hard time finding an answer online. Any advice would be so apprecaited.
Thanks!

Since AA6, the job options had to be activated in Distiller. It was not a matter of just placing them in a folder. At least that was what I found when upgrading from AA5 to AA6 a long time back. In AA7, this is under the settings menu of Distiller. I have not checked AA8 lately, but as I remember I had to do the same thing there.

Disappearing PDF file after saving work in Acrobat Pro 9?

I use Acrobat Pro 9 to do markups. Some of the files may be as large as 2,000 pages. At various points, I save my work. Sometimes, however, I save my work, close the program. I come back later and discover that the PDF file that I working seems to have vanished. It's not in Recyle Bin and searching for it, does not bring it up. There isn't even an icon. When this happens, all that remains are aabxxx 's in Recent Places. Sometimes if I am lucky, I can somehow generate another PDF file. Sometimes not.
I know that it is possible I could strike the wrong key and not save my work. But this has happened often where that something else be the reason.. I have looked for solutions to this problem in the past and have not been able to find any. I currently am using Windows 7 with IE9
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I put in the browser info, but I wasn't sure if that would be helpful. I have a lot of problems with IE9 and using Microsoft Word and Excel.. MS Office 2010 is 64-bit. The version of Windows 7 I have is 64-bit. What happened is that I began working for this one publisher, AA9 was the version in use and that was I was instructed to use It was also just before the release of AAX.
Do you think that the 32-bit/64-bit difference is what could be causing the issue?
I put off going to a new version because of the cost and the fact that I wouldn't have time to learn the current version. I have a lot of projects right now and scheduling is tight.

Hyperlinks in PDF fail when security turned on Acrobat Pro 6

The InDesign CS created buttons I exported to PDF stop working when I apply security to not permit changes to document. The other bookmark type hyperlinks work. The external hyperlinks work. Just not the button types.
Using Acrobat 6, OS X 10.4.11, Power PC G4.
Can anyone help?

Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
Click-path: File - Export
Take your pick.
With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".
Be well...

Does AnyChart work with Acrobat Pro?

Does the product AnyChart work with Acrobat Pro (9) and does it require Flex?
Thanks

What does this have to do with Acrobat scripting which is javascript based? Why not ask AnyChart?

PDF form submission problem - works in Acrobat and Reader, but not when embedded in browser

Hello everyone,
I am trying to submit a PDF form to an application server.
To do this, I added a "Submit" button to the PDF, configured the server's address and submit format, and tested the button.
I opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro, clicked the button, and my web application received the form in PDF format just as I wanted.
To make it work in Reader, I had to extend user rights via Acrobat Pro, and then the form worked inside Reader as well.
Up to here, everything went fine.
Then I embedded the PDF in a web page (which will be the final scenario) and it all stopped working.
The submit button doesn't do anything anymore, and no data is sent to the application server.
I even tried switching from the form's submit mechanism to calling event.target.submitForm(...) in Javascript directly, but nothing changed (meaning this too worked only when opening the form as an "offline" pdf, but not when embedding it in a web page).
Is there something I am missing? Something else that must be configured/activated in order to be able to submit the PDF when it is in the form of an embedded object?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Thanks for your reply, Paul.
I tested the submit button both in Reader 9.3 and Acrobat 8 (which is the same I used to RE the PDF).
Apparently I got it working too, but only by deploying my embedding web page to an application server.
The final environment the PDF will be embedded into will be inside a web application deployed to an application server, so I guess my problem is solved.
It didn't work only when embedded into a local test.html web page saved on my PC...
Thanks again, have a good day.
Alex

.pdf works in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8

I have a dynamic .pdf that I created in Livecycle Designer.
It works perfectly in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8.
There is a function that highlights a form field orange. It is called from the enter event of every form field.
There is another function that highlights a form field red if the field contains an invalid value. This is called from the exit event of every form field.
When I enter a field in Reader 8, it highlights orange as it should but does not allow me to enter a value and it adds an additional blank page to the .pdf. Also, it does not highlight red as it should on exit.
If I remove the enter script, the exit script works fine.
I sent the .pdf to somebody to test and it worked perfectly for him in Reader 8.00 but not for me in 8.00 or 8.01 which makes me think maybe it is just a problem with my settings.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Okay, I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the .pdf fails there now too.
So my problem is not an inconsistency between Acrobat and Reader, it is that the .pdf works in the earlier 8.0 but not the latest 8.1.
I am happy to send the .pdf to anybody who wants to see it. Hopefully the problem is with my code and not the update.
Thanks.

PDF Preset (joboptions)

Hi,
Where do PDF Preset files or joboptions files need to be stored for InDesign CS3 Server to "see" them. Would InDesign Server need to be restarted to pick up changes to the Presets?
Thanks

Hi Simon,
InDesign save a preset in the default Settings folder in the Adobe PDF folder. InDesign server looks into this Folder.
Example:
In InDesign:
1. Choose File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define.
2. Do one of the following:
- To create a new preset, click New. If you want to base the new preset on an existing preset, select the preset first. Set PDF options, and click OK.
- Or... To edit an existing custom preset, select the preset and click Edit. (You cannot edit the default presets.) Set PDF options, and click OK.
If u click "OK", InDesign save a preset in the default Settings folder in the Adobe PDF folder. InDesign server looks into this Folder.
3. Start or restart InDesign Server
In your JavaScript ( i hope u use JavaScript) insert the lines:
var result = new String;
try {
var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("YourPresetName");
app.documents.item(0).exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("~/Desktop/TestDocument.pdf"), false, myPDFExportPreset);
} catch (err) {
app.consoleerr (err.message);
result = err.message;
That was it!
Greetings Andi

Can fonts in a PDF be converted to outlines with Acrobat Pro 9?

Acrobat Pro 9.....Sometimes I get a PDF that I will have to do some edits to. Because I dont have some of the fonts used, I cant edit the file without losing the fonts used. Is there a way to have Acrobat maybe resave itself with all the fonts converted to outlines so this wont be a problem along with any othe font errors I may get?

Converting fonts to outlines is frowned upon do to the loss of font hinting, loss of editability, and inherant fattening of the font.
In your seat, you have to do what has to be done.
http://indesignsecrets.com/converting-text-to-outlines-the-right-way-updated.php
I may have read that this hack is not working in CS5 or 5.5
Place the pdf into InDesign. Create a box or small stroke on the page, in the case of non native ID elements (this pdf) the object needs to touch/overlap the pdf. Color the object, perhaps .1% black, apply transparency to it, as little as 1%. You effectivly have something unseeable, but will force the Transparency Flattener to kick in.
Create a new Transparency Flattener Setting, see my example,
Check the effect with the Flattener Panel, see my example

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!
Message was edited by: KaotikADC

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.
