Need to create PDF spreads in Acrobat

Hello, I have a bunch of single page pdf documents that I would like to resave as PDF spreads. In Acrobat Pro 8 I can set my print options to have 2 up but when I choose the option "Save as PDF" from the print dialogue box the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." pops up.
Is there a plugin or preference or something that will turn this function back on? Or is there another workaround that does the same thing? I do not want to print spreads, I want to create pdfs of spreads from individual pdfs.
Thanks for your help!

If you just want to view the file as a spread, Open the file in Acrobat and from File>Properties>Initial View (second dropdown) choose Two-Up (CoverPage)

No ability to create PDF Files using Acrobat 6.01_6.06 after installing Word 2010. (Windows XP)

Since installing Word 2010 (upgrading from Word 2003) there are no visable PDF Icons nor ability to create PDF Files using Adobe Acrobat 6.06. Operating system is Windows XP. Browser is IE8. Various attempts to bypass this situation have not been successful. No problems had been experienced earlier using Acrobat 6.01 through 6.06 with Word 2003 and earlier Word versions during the passed 10 years or so. Adobe's support is not responding to recognize mentioned situations, nor is there any a solution to fix the problem. Low volume small businesses,with limited need to create PDF files, are being considerably burdened to substante a $200 investment to upgrade to Acrobat X, which may as well not be the solution. It is appealed for Adobe Forums readers to share similar experiences with possible fixes at hand. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Your response is greatly appreciated, Bernd...
Unfortunately, those of us who milk software packages for eons such as
Acrobat 6.06 Standard, a full version of Acrobat X is quoted to be $299
with no ability to upgrade since 7.0 is the cutoff which remains to be
only $139.
It seems to me, Military personal, retired or just ole toots who did
their think, would offer considerations such as Staples, Lowe's, and
other big boxes offer. Such is greed for some who do not consider
alternatives above their noses...
Thank you,

Hi! Trying to convert from Create PDF to Adobe Acrobat.

A couple of hours ago I purchased Adobe Reader's Create PDF instead of Acrobat, which was what I was really needed. After trying to see if Create PDF would work for my needs, I still need Acrobat. How can I fix this? Hving trouble getting ahold of anyone on phone support...

You need to Contact Customer Care by phone or chat.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Need help creating pdf contracts: Reader vs. Acrobat

I am needing some help regarding creating pdf contracts to send to clients. It will basically need to have info input by 2 different parties, the catering company and their client. I am on a Mac and will be originally creating the pdf contract. It will then be used by a catering company, who is using Windows. They will need to input information into this contract, such as dates, client info, prices, menus, etc. Then, they will email it to the client (probably using Windows) for their electronic signatures, ability to print for their files, etc., and then return the signed pdf to the catering company.
I have been going through Reader and Acrobat to see which application would be better to use. In Acrobat, I exported the pdf to Word to input info, but Word changes the appearance/formatting of things. The catering personnel don't need to have to rearrange the appearance, they need something they can simply fill in info on. Is there a way around this?? I then made a new pdf and the rest of the process seemed to function okay.
In Reader, I couldn't find a way to export to Word in order to fill in info and create a new pdf...is this correct? So it seems that I would have to create forms for both parties originally, then have the catering company fill out their portions, and then send the pdf onto the client to fill in their portions. But, if the client highlights the fields, all will be highlighted, not just the ones they need to complete. And, would they be able to alter the fields that the catering company filled out?
Could somebody PLEASE help me out with the logistics of this process???
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Boy - it's been a year and a half since you asked this question! So not sure if you're still out there.....
Looks like no one replied. Did you ever figure it out? I need to do the same thing...

How do I use auto-form recognition to create PDF forms in Acrobat XI?

I used to use Acrobat 9 to create PDF forms that would allow me to fill in text into the fields that were created. Acrobat XI seems to have changed the way this function is performed. Previously, I could run an auto form recognition wizard, do some minor tweaking, and be done. Now, when I attempt to follow the process in Acrobat XI, I get the following message that pops up: "No new form field annotations were detected.", and no fields get created. I could do this manually, but the process of doing so is very clunky and cumbersome. Once I create a new text field, I must then go back and resize it. This would not be a problem if I was only working with a few fields on a single page, but I have a six page document with multiple fields to create (text fields, check box fields, etc.). Perhaps I'm missing something, but there seems to be no simple way to do this anymore. It's making me want to just install Acrobat 9, so that I will have back the feature that I used to have. I'm using Acrobat XI on Mac, but I'm assuming the function should be the same in Windows. I can use Preview on the Mac to simply type in the text that I need, but I was hoping to pass along the PDF so that others can use it as well. This is not just a one time thing.

There are no APIs for C# and external applications for this conversion. There is however an API for Acrobat plugins to perform this operation. So, if necessary, you could write a custom plugin (that calls the API you need) and expose that via some form of IPC to your C# app.

Need guidance - Creating PDF navigation: What do I need?

Hi,
I could really use some guidance. I often create single page PDF documents using Illustrator (and have someone in the office combine a few with distiller when multiple page docs are needed).
I now need to create a 10 page PDF that I would like to include navigation within (title page has logos that jump to specific pages inside the PDF).
Questions:
Best way to do this? (I don't believe I can do within Illustrator)
What software do I need? $449 for Acrobat X Pro is rough. Can Adobe X Standard to this, or an older verson? I can't find a comparison chart between the two.
Any general suggestions and tips would be GREAT. I'm on a deadline, and swimming upstream.
Thanks,
Lands

Cannot Create PDF Using "Create PDF" Function in Acrobat 8

I can create by using "save as" in my Office programs, but only from the Windows Explorer box, not from the menu. However, I can no longer "create pdf" nor "combine files" inside Acrobat 8. I get reinstall message. It starts and hangs up. I tried reinstalling from CD. I use this feature a lot to create files and it just quit. Nothing new has been installed that might interfere. I've made sure that the distiller is not inactive. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, alot of us had to upgrade to Office 2010 ...its very unfortunate that adobe doesn't warn us up front about the imcompatibiity problem before they took our money. Granted they can't give us warnings about every compatibility issue..but considering that MS. Office PDF comversions is a big marketing interest for adobe, I for one would have liked to have known that before I paid for adobe for 9, for I would have waited for 10

Until Adobe releases Acrobat 10 do not upgrade to MS Office 2010!!!
It appears that with the release of Acrobat 10, much of Adobe's support to Acrobat versions 7, 8 and 9 will be reduced to the very minimum updates.
Many CAD programs require upgrades to newer versions of Acrobat. But Acrobat does not support all CAD programs.

What do I need to create PDF files on my iPad?

So, in trying to resolve the frustration I am having in using Adobe Reader for iOS to create PDFs (without having to pay Adobe another 25% of my current Creative Cloud subscription....) I logged a sales eqnuiry via Adobe website.
I get a call back withint a couple of hours. Not bad.
He immediately asks how many computers I have enabled for my Creative Cloud account. Only one, I say.
Well, he says, then you can install Creative Cloud on your iPad.
No I can't, I said - Creative Cloud for iPad is a very skinny client, only handles Photoshop, and view some file formats. Not a full Acrobat function.
Oh, he says, let em check. Eventually comes back. Yes, you are right he says. You have to pay us another $15 per month on top of the $50 per month Creative Crowd (even though CC already includes Acrobat Pro) you already pay, just so you can create PDFs on your iPad.
That's ridiculous, I say - Adobe does not know how customers want to use your products. More people are going to use a desktop plus tablet - or laptop only. But if I have a desktop and a laptop I can have Creative Cloud on both. I accept that they are different OS, but don't make excuses like "Acrobat.com is a different product to Acrobat Pro" - I already pay for the latter in my CC subscription, so why should I be price gouged another 25%? Makes Adobe look plain greedy - and still they don't want to pay tax in Australia....
If it was no more than $5 per month on top of the CC subscription, maybe I would go for it - but anything more is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY in my opinion.

Hi GrattanGuru,
You have creative cloud subscription as you have mentioned. Under Adobe Reader to convert PDF to other formats Adobe offers online service called Acrobat.com services: https://www.acrobat.com/en_us.html
That would be the reason support person might have told you on call, that you have to pay for that service.
Under creative cloud you are getting Adobe applications. However under Acrobat.com you are getting online services which are providing Acrobat functions online.

Cannot Create PDF in Adobe Acrobat 8

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and I cannot create a pdf from a *.docx file and *.doc file. Word 2007 does have the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin listed as a trusted site.
When I try to Create PDF from Multiple files the error message is Cannot convert file type to PDF. Please remove this file from the list.
Is there a way to create a pdf file in Adobe 8 with 2007 and 2003 documents?

In WORD 2007 you should have a create PDF menu set. That is the PDF Maker that works with AA8. There could also be some issues with the OS which you did not mention. AA8 is not certified for use on Win7 and is a potential problem. I suspect that you do not have PDF Maker for AA8 active in WORD. You can always print to the Adobe PDF printer to create a PDF, you just lose some of the bookmark and related options.

Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

I need to create pdf files of each web page in an entire web site. Is Acrobat XI better at this than Acrobat X? Any difficulties I should be aware of?

Nevermind - downloaded the free trial of Acrobat XI and it is amazing!

That is so nice to hear! Enjoy your day.

Create PDF document via Acrobat OLE/Automation?

Hi,
Is it possible to utilize the OLE/Automation feature of Acrobat Professional, instead of Acrobat SDK, to create a PDF document and add objects into it?
Thanks

OLE is a part of the SDK, not something different from it.
To use OLE you need the SDK as that is where it is documented.
OLE is very limited but it can run Acrobat JavaScript. Even then, it probably won't do what you want. You can add form fields and annotations but not page content.

Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

Hi stephaniec0103,
Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes.
