There is no OCR function in Adobe Reader. You can buy and install Adobe Acrobat.

  • Keystrokes will not function in adobe acrobat reader

    A company I am affiliating with is requiring me to fill out PDF forms online.
    I am able to open the forms but when I attempt to type in a field my computer dings at me. No error messages.
    Typing is simply not excepted.
    Why?

    First off. Many people who may know the answer to your questions may simply not want to answer you if they don't like your tone. This is what I was trying to tell you more politely in my previous message. (Don't count ~graffiti, he is an exception).
    Second off. You'd have to ask Adobe about this, although it has been recently improved; before that, it was simply useless.
    Third off. Here are the results of a quick first search I did for you: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userI D=&containerType=14&container=3414&spotlight=true&rankBy=date&q=%22cannot+fill%22. Don't expect me to open a single one of those threads to check if it contains the full answer to your question.
    Finally. You can fill in forms with just the free Reader (not Adobe; that's the company), I think that v. 9 and above (it could be 8), but only if they have been specially enabled by the author.

  • This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality

    All PDF files uploaded to our Adobe Connect Content libraries (hosted) are displaying a window with the message "This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality".  I have 2 hosted accounts and both have this issue (which started today). We were upgraded to version 9.1 over the weekend also. Is anyone else seeing this and do you know of a resolution?

    Update: We have not been able to confirm whose update (MS or Adobe) caused this issue, but the  one of the resolutions (enabled Reader Add-on) has broken something else.
    Enabled add-on: Enabling the Reader add-on resolved the issue of not being able to view PDFs, but now prevents the PDF from opening in the application. Instead, it now opens in the browser, which causes links on the PDF to open the linked file in the same window. That results in the return of those end user support issues. http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Reader: In some cases, enabling the Reader Add-on did not resolve the issue until Reader was uninstalled and/or reinstalled.
    We hope this information helps others.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of the Adobe Advertisement that now appears in all PDFs that open in the browser? Note: It does not appear in all versions of Reader (e.g. Reader 9)?

     Dear Adobe people ...
    This is a user-to-user forum; you do not address Adobe staff here.
    The original post was about an installation on a beta version of Windows 7, which was not supported at the time.
    If you have a problem with a different version of Adobe Reader on a different version of Windows 7, please open a new topic.
    I'd gladly address Adobe staff directly about it if they didn't make it so difficult to do so but there are notices galore on their website restricting the ways of doing so for this particular product. That said, I accept that they may not review these posts and act on bugs found (although why is beyond me, I know if I was a developer of software and I wanted it to be top quality, I'd be looking everywhere I can for sources of bugs having been found and I certainly wouldn't make it any more difficult than an ordinary bug submission on any other software to report it).
    It's clear to me that the problem originally posted about that shows up in Win 7 RC, is still present in the latest software and popping its ugly head up under Win 7 RTM. If they'd nipped it in the bud back then it should be fixed by now - that's annoying. I've been using online forums for a long time and I know it's always a good idea to search for a solution or similar thread and post in that if present, rather than opening an entirely new thread. As the bug is the same, the Adobe software version is very similar and the OS is just an earlier non-RTM version and there are no set forums for bugs within specific RTM vs RC/Beta OS's I posted here.
    I'm not going to start a new thread because if, as you say there's no addressing of Adobe Staff here (and you haven't mentioned you have inside connections and will pass it on) what's the point? I will make one phonecall to Abobe in an effort to report this but there needs to be more open ways of bug reporting, even if it is a free product.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader displaying boxes in place of dashes

    My company is having an issue with Word documents that have dashes and are converted to PDF.  On the resulting PDF when viewed with Acrobat Reader, the dashes are being displayed as boxes instead of dashes.  This is causing an issue with an OCR application that one of our clients is using resulting in the document to show as blank after the first box is encountered.
    I have searched for possible reasons why this could be happening and I have not been successful.
    Most of our users utilize Nuance PDF Create 7.0 and some still use Amyuni PDF Converter 2.1 to convert their Word documents to PDF.  I have tried to replicate this and have not been able to.  I have used Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 along with each PDF converter listed above as well as Adobe Acrobat reader version 9.1.0, 9.3.0 and 10.1.6 to view the PDFs.
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    What wiki? What 64-bit version of Adobe reader (there isn't one AFAIK)?
    Please be more informative in your questions. Better yet, search before asking, which should lead you to the well-known conclusion that Adobe does not have a 64-bit reader for linux (yet).

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader problem

    I have not been able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to work on my phone. My company distributes instruction via pdf files, and I'd been taking my laptop with me on service calls. I still have to do that, because I can't access any .pdf file on my phone except the overly red introductory how-to blurb. One thing that stands out for me is that the app doesn't show up in my app list what so ever. It's listed when I find the 'manage applications' tab. I've tried to download the update, and still no functionality. I uninstalled the update, in hopes of being able to re-install. Is the apps list supposed to include the Adobe Acrobat reader in the list/grid, or am I supposed to only have to go to my list of downloads to get to .pdf's. The downloads list shows where I've tried to download the file, but it always says "download failed".
    Am I doing something incorrectly, or is this something that I need to do a factory reset on the phone to rectify? I have the updated Verizon software, but haven't checked to see if there's anything to update to the operating system.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the only Adobe Reader from the Play Store that is from Adobe Systems multiple times.
    Is there another setting besides the wifi/data connection option I need to change?
    I've gone through the Settings menu to the Applications menu and selected Manage Applications. The Adobe Reader is listed under "All", and when I select that particular app, it's indicating that version 10.1.1 is on the phone. The only options available are to back out of this tab in the menu, or selecting Force Stop.
    I suspect that in the first few days of having the phone and the "ooh look at mommy's new toy!" someone may have deleted or removed the app somehow, or otherwise caused some kind of disconnection or malfunction. Going back to the Play Store to try again, the Adobe Reader app only has "Open" or "Update" as options for downloading. I downloaded the update (again) and it is showing version 10.3.0, but the downloads are still failing.
    What other little quirks and details am I missing as far as settings, updates, or menu selections? Or should I just back up my pictures and files, and reset the phone back to factory defaults and start over again?

  • Unable to Print After Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader Upgrades.

    . What software version of Abobe Acrobat Reader should be used for an HP PhotoSmart Plus printer? I currently have Adobe version  9.3 installed. I receive pop-up notices to install new Adobe Acrobat Reader software upgrades. I have installed the software upgrades and then my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer was unoperational. I deleted the Adobe software upgrades and my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer began to operate. I contacted HP technical support and was told there is no compatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat Reader and HP All-in-One Products. It might be a problem with the specific Adobe software upgrades. HP requested that I contact Adobe support for problem resolution. Has this problem ever happened to you? Any problem resolutions would be appreciated.

  • [bug locked] Is the OCR capability of Adobe Acrobat Version 9 more advanced?

    Hi
    The OCR of Adobe Acrobat Version 7 is not yielding satisfactory results, especially on numerical figures.
    Is the OCR capability of Adobe Acrobat Version 9 more advanced? If yes, can you suggest where I can read more about the extended OCR facilities provided?
    Thank you for your assistance in that matter.
    Ashvin

    It /could be/. What a strange way to ask a question. You could always grab
    the trial and see for yourself. If you install the trial; be sure to remove
    version 8 entirely first.
    Please note: I read this Forums through e-mail. If you respond to me; please
    quote, otherwise I have no idea whom your response is addressed to or the
    context. This is all thanks to how this forum doesn't work properly, yet.

  • Will OraRRP Support Adobe Acrobat Reader X?

    After Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9 on a Windows PC was upgraded to version X (10), the Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility (orarrp.exe v1.3.4) no longer worked. (OraRRP setup for Reports 10gR2 per MetaLink Note ID: 277431.1.) It worked fine before Acrobat Reader upgrade but, afterwards, report printing attempts generated an OraRRP Error -- 'Failed to establish DDE conversation with Acrobat, Error: 16394'.
    Downgrading Acrobat Reader back to version 9.4 allowed OraRRP to function correctly again. Will the OraRRP utility be updated to support newer versions of Acrobat Reader (X or greater) which include latest OS and security fixes?
    Thanks,
    James

  • I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i

    I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

    I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
    Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

    We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

    Hi Valerie,
    Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
    Also, try this:-
    Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
    From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
    Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

  • Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

    I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome)  -  the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
    "Acrobat plug-in
    The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit  Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
    I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
    Configure Acrobat  as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
    Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
    Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat  installation
    None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
    I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
    Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

    I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
    I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
    (Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
    I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.
