Orange stripe in Adobe Acrobat...

Hallo!
I open a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat, type any letter characters from keyboard and the orange stripe appears in lower part of the screen just above the Dock. The stripe contains typed text. Once I type a numeric character the stripe disappears.
What is it and what is its correct name?

I have no Earthly idea if this is anyway related to your problem. but since Acrobat8 thay have added a feature called marking Pen. where you can mark lines in a PDF like your taking a yellow, red. or green marking pen and manually marking a paper document.
do you suppose it is related to that?
If not disregard my attempt at an answer.
I am surprised none of the regulars no anything about it. They usually know about everything there is to know.

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    Check your Adobe account online to see if a download is available.  Your serial number might be there as well, which you will need to activate.  Here are download links as well..

  • Adobe Acrobat Aborts

    I'm developing a form in LiveCycle, but when I try to display it as a PDF, Adobe Acrobat aborts with absolutely no information why.  The problem is somewhere in the form's Javascript, but I could use some help in finding out where the problem is.

    I found the problem.
    At one point in the Javascript for a textbox, I had this:
    if (MNPD.formStream.ND_RoutingStep == 0 && MNPD.ND_FillerPrint.rawValue != "True") {
       ---- more code follows ---
    If you look at the first comparison, you will see that I should have been comparing the rawValue of MNPD.formStream.ND_RoutingStep to 0, not the textbox itself.   Adobe Acrobat doesn't like it when it has to compare apples to oranges.  Javascript needs a better Intellisense.
    I found the problem by eliminating fields field-by-field until I found the offending textbox, then commenting Javascript line-by-line until the offending line showed. 

  • Adobe Acrobat in FF buttons now blocked (circle crossed) - cannot print, save, etc.

    I have not had any problems when wanting to print from a web page which had a PDF. Nut just recently the Adobe Acrobat function buttons which appear in the bar above the document in the FireFox browser now show a crossed circle (blocked) when I touch any function (print, save, view). I do not know how to fix this.

    In the plugin list in your "More system details" it appears that you might have two PDF plugins. Can you check here and disable the older one if you find it:

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro Printing Problem

    Hello everyone I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 and when I print a file I have some issue with the design elements.  I have a american flag and has some areas which expand.  Below is a picture of what the file should look like:
    No what happens is the file prints like this:
    Please not the expanded white area in between the red stripes on the american flag.  This may vary from file to file, but I cannot have this since these will be sent out to a customer for approval.  I have tried Adobe Illustrator, and have no problem with the file.  I have saving a PDF from Adobe Illustrator and then printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro for proper color.  Any suggestions would be great!  I can provide more information also.  Thanks!

    Without actually having the digital assets to look at, it is a real cr*pshoot to guess as to what is going on here.
    What is the pseudo-American flag in term of object types? Vector, raster, what? Perhaps you can point us to the objects to examine?

  • Adobe Acrobat printer stops responding

    I use Adobe Acrobat extensively to print select web articles into PDF format. Whenever I pick an article to print using Adobe Acrobat PDF printer, I attempt to copy/paste the article's title into the Save As file line of the PDF creation dialog box. Since about Firefox 3.5, whenever I do this, no text gets copied into the file name line of the PDF creation dialog box and Firefox freezes, often together with PDF printer, and needs to be restarted. This problem still persists with Firefox 4. I have consistently seen this happen using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 and now Adobe Acrobat Pro X on all of my Windows 7 computers (both 32- and 64-bit). As a workaround, I switched to using Google Chrome. Alternatively, I copy the source text into Notepad first to strip any formatting that might be causing the problem. Then, copied from Notepad into the Save As line, the text appears and everything works fine.

    When I was having this problem, I ended up having to search the entire
    sequence for the problem area, a video or image that was causing the encoder
    to fail. After narrowing it down to a certain section of the timeline, I
    worked through elimination to find the problem video, removing one video,
    image or image sequence at a time and encoding the problem area again....on
    the two occasions I've had to do this, I found one corrupt video and one
    large sequence of images that, which for some reason the encoder didn't
    like...re-encoding the problem video and putting it back into the project
    solved it for me.

  • My Adobe Acrobat does not always print from Illustrator.  This is very time-consuming to have contin

    My Adobe Acrobat does not always print from Illustrator.  This is very time-consuming to have continuous problems that are obviously software based.  I have no issues with Illustrator, but we communicate on this campus via low res PDF files as proofs for approval.  Acrobat gives me no reasons why it does not want to print, it just says it can not print the file.  Fonts are NOT and issue here.  It will created a high res Illustrator PDF file but I can not print a low res PDF file.

    This usually happens when you introduce a specific dependency like trying to resample certain placed image types and things like color profile conversions fail. Also stripping native AI data to reduce file size may cause this. Generally it is not recommended to print to PDF from apps that have native PDF saving functionality, anyway. You can just as well get the same result using AI's Save As feature.

  • Your latest update says Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1 will be disabled, but I must use it daily, so what am I to do?

    The above question says it all. I'm currently running Firefox 6.2. Don't know what other info you need. My dilemma is simple: I can't do my work without Adobe Acrobat. You say I MUST update my version of Firefox for security reasons, but you will disable Adobe (for some indeterminate period of time). What would you do if you were me? If you want to discuss my cell is: 317-439-0915. Thanks, Bill Stanley 11/9/11

    Bill,
    You can achieve the same results as with Adobe Create PDF by following this procedure:
    (1) Click on the Orange Firefox tab in the upper left Firefox user interface (or else the "Menu Bar" if you have it enabled), then "Save Page As" followed by "Web Page Complete" in the menu that will appear to save the web page and associated/linked folder of files on your desktop.
    (2) Use the mouse to right click on the firefox icon for the saved webpage on your desktop.
    (3) In the context menu that appears, choose and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF"
    (4) The process takes a few seconds, but the pdf file should then appear.
    (5) Delete the saved webpage file from your desktop. (Just deleting the main file will put the folder that's linked to it also into the trash)
    Unlike using the Adobe PDF printer from Firefox, this will preserve any embedded url links that were in the web page and have them appear as clickable links in the pdf. And unlike using the create pdf option and typing the url into Adobe Acrobat itself it will work for sites such as some online encyclopedias that you have to log into to access.
    Alternatively, you could just use Internet Explorer, on which Create PDF 1.1 does work - except if you're asking then you obviously prefer Firefox.
    Of course it would be better if Adobe would keep up with the latest versions of Firefox, but it isn't doing that. At least the procedure, though more awkward than just being able to click on the create pdf icon on Firefox, does produce the same result from Firefox.

  • Admin installation Adobe Acrobat reader 10.1.2

    I want to use  Adobe customization tool wizard X to modify installation package for Adobe Acrobat reader 10.1.2 , however when I download the installation file "install_reader10_en_air_gtbd_aih.exe" from Adobe website I am unable to extract installation package, I have followed instructions from admin guide but I have no luck, instead of extracting the files the program just goes through installation.
    This is the command line that I have used. After installation c:\temp directory is empty, any help is greatly appreciated.
    install_reader10_en_air_gtbd_aih.exe -sfx_ne -sfx_o"c:\temp

    As ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ mentioned, you will need to download the EXE installer prior to running your command. But please note that the extracted MSI extracted will be a stripped MSI and will require the accompanying Data1.Cab present in the same extracted folder.
    If you wish to use only one MSI, you will need to download the MSI installer using the FTP link provided by ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ

  • How do you deploy adobe acrobat xi from creative cloud for enterprise?

    Hello,
         We purchased Creative Cloud Enterprise and our new supervisor wants adobe acrobat on all computers.  I downloaded the package through Creative Cloud and used the customization wizard to customize the msi in the exceptions folder just like the instructions said.  I followed the steps and deployed it out using Dell Kace.  When a user tries to open Acrobat, it tells them they have a trial version and they must register the product.  The instructions for the customization wizard said not to put the creative cloud serial number into the customization tool.  Is there something I'm missing with deploying adobe acrobat and creative cloud?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    I'm not a CC expert, but I think normally admins configure Acrobat and then deploy everything via the Creative Cloud Packager. Acrobat certainly needs to be licensed, so when you only have a CC license, it's best to deploy in a standard way so that Acrobat get serialized with the license you have.

  • Can I create PAdES signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?

    Hi
    Can I create PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures, Technical Specification ETSI TS 102 778) signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?
    ETSI Technical Specification (TS) 102 778 contains five parts:
    • Part 1: PAdES Overview – a framework document for PAdES
    • Part 2: PAdES Basic – Profile based on ISO 32000-1
    • Part 3: PAdES Enhanced – PAdES-Basic Electronic Signatures and PAdES-Explicit Policy Electronic Signatures Profiles
    • Part 4: PAdES Long Term – PAdES-Long Term Validation Profile
    • Part 5: PAdES for XML Content – Profiles for XAdES signatures of XML content in PDF files
    All five parts were published on 31 July 2009.
    Thanks for answer.
    Dragan

    Hi,
    The short answer is yes.
    Acrobat 8 and later support all of requirements of PAdES such as serial signing, long term validation (time stamping and embedded revocation responses) and signatures in the PKCS#7 format.

  • Why is default scan in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 legal size

    I have HP LaserJet with new software. I scan directly from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 (Windows 7, 64 bit). The only scanner I can find in dropdown is WIA. I do not see the twain driver - even though I can scan with twain driver in the HP scanning application. The problem i am experiencing is that when I scan directly from Acrobat (using the only dropdown available - WIA - ) the scan is "legal size" and not "letter size." The only option for paper size is to select paper size automatically.
    I would very much like to be able to scan directly from Acrobat and have letter size documents appear as letter size documents. Please help.

    Try this, it worked for me in Acrobat v.8
    Start an Acrobat scan.
    In "Acrobat Scan" window select "Scanner Options"
    In "Scanner Options" window select "User interface: Show Scanner's Native Interface"
    Click OK on "Scanner Options" window
    Click Scan on "Acrobat Scan" window
    Next you will be asked to save the PDF file. After this a window should open that gives you an option to select paper size and document type.
    I found locations in my HP Printer/Scanner to set paper size but I don't think the information is passed from the printer to Acrobat. I suspect it is an HP problem but they are total dolts about doing anything but pointing the fingure at Adobe.
    Hope this works for you. It is very cumbersome but it yields the right results.
