Output Preview not working in Acrobat Pro 8

Hi,
I'm trying to check a PDF document for CMYK and all that before it goes off to the printers and Acrobat Professional 8's Output Preview has stopped working for me - the separations list has vanished. Basically, when I open the Output Preview toolbar, I get options for Simulation Profile, Simulate Black Ink/Paper Color, the "Show" menu, a button for Ink Manager (which isn't working either) and then the Preview: Separations/Color Warnings box. There's absolutely no option for showing and hiding different colour channels, though it's worked completely fine in the past. Help?
And apologies if this is a stupid question.

I think I'd uninstall Acrobat (there should be an Uninstaller in your Acrobat folder inside the Applications folder). Then reinstall the application.

Acrobat Pro X serial not working with Acrobat Pro XI

I have a serial for Acrobat Pro X which I've been using for quite some time. After formatting my PC, I'm now trying to install Acrobat Pro on my new system but it seems that my serial "is not valid for Acrobat Pro XI".
I'd be happy if I could install Pro X, but it's nowhere to be found on the internet.
Let me get this straight: I can't reinstall a program I ALREADY BOUGHT when I remove it from my system. Nice.
Help me out here please.

Acrobat Pro 11 - Output Preview not working

This issue came up again on my Macpro. Although it's ok on my MBP. When try to analyze a PDF in "Output Preview" a few things aren't working for me. The "Total Area Coverage" warning will not display on screen. Also when I hover the cursur over the PDF I am no longer see percentages under the ink color Preview > Separations. Does anyone know of a quick fix so I don't have to keep going back to an oldere version of Acrobat?
Thanks for your help.

Online collaboration using WebDAV not working in Acrobat pro XI

We are using WebDAV for online collaboration (FDD based). We have just now upgraded to Acrobat pro XI. But since then we are not able to do the online collaboration.
Send and Receive comments button is not shown when pdf file gets opened in the browser.
Does any one have any idea how to resolve this issue?

Hi Hemant,
1. Are you using latest version of Acrobat 11 i.e. 11.0.6? If not then please update it via Hep -> check for updates.
2. Does your workflow works fine when you open PDF in Standalone Acrobat?
3. Does it work when you initiate Shared Review using Email or shared drive?

Basic functions not working in Acrobat Pro X...

Hi,
I'm finding that basic functions are not working properly. I tried re-launching the application as well to determine if a technical glitch or not.
Control + Shift + R is not allowing me to rotage a page.
Control + or - is not letting me zoom in & out, however when I click the big plus or minus icons, it does.
What's with the loss of short-cut functionality? Please advise, thank you.

Have you downloaded the user guide PDF to read about what is new or different?

Scanning not working with Acrobat Pro X or Photoshop?

My Epson Perfection V350 scanner is listed as a supported scanner on Apple's site.
After installing the latest versions of Acrobat Pro X and Photoshop Extended, the scanner is not available to either app. After several useless exchanges with Adobe online support, I called phone support tonight. I was told that neither Acrobat nor Photoshop support scanning in Mountain Lion and I should use Apple's Image Capture. If that is true it should be considered a catastrophe by Apple, Adobe, and Mac users. I tried installing the latest Photoshop TWAIN driver with not luck. I updated to Mountain Lion because scanning wasn't working in Lion. Appalling.
I have Epson driver 8.0 installed. It is all I can find. If anyone knows of something more recent, or a workaround for this nasty problem, I'm all eyes.
Acrobat Pro X is 10.1.4 and Photoshop Extended is 13.0.1

Matt, you are right about the Epson Scan Utility. I didn't have it installed. I installed it before you posted, and the scanner appears and works in Acrobat, but Photoshop still can't see it. So, half way there. Thanks. The driver was the same as I had installed.
Is there any part of your version of Photoshop 64 bit? The Epson TWAIN driver is only 32 bit, so that may be the difference. You mentioned in your first post that you installed the latest Photoshop TWAIN driver. I wonder if that is the problem. Is there a way you can go back to an earlier version of that part of Photoshop? I am not familiar with Photoshop.
If you visit the Drivers and Downloads for the Epson Perfection v350, you find no driver download but this message:
Description: The latest Mac OS X ICA scanner driver for your Epson product is available only via Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get it:
Connect the all-in-one or scanner to your Mac and power it on.
Select the menu, then Software Update.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates.
Note: Software Updates may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates by clicking onShow Details.
Compatible Systems: Mac OS X (v10.8.x)
That is a load of hooey: Software Update installs nothing for the scanner. And it doesn't supply the requisite Epson Scan Utility.
I am well aware of how Epson's pages are laid out. That is why I gave you the direct download link. The ICA drivers are for Image Capture. They do not use the TWAIN technology. When you are on EPSON's site, you have to override the browser sniffer and say that you are using OS X 10.6. Then you will see the Epson Scan software. Much easier just to give you a direct download link from their ftp server.
And yes, the ICA drivers probably were already installed with Mountain Lion. I think a universal ICA driver is supplied as part of ML for Canon and EPSON scanners. You can check by looking in the /Library/Image Capture/Devices folder for the EPSON ICA driver. You will find the TWAIN driver you just installed at /Library/Image Capture TWAIN Data Sources.

Serial number of CS5.5 is not working for acrobat pro!

Hi,
I installed the whole CS5.5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro, typed in my serial number and everything was fine. But when I opened Acobat Pro the Application Manager asked again for the serial number. When I typed it in it was wrong. Every Adobe program is running whithout a problem, only Acrobat is not working.
What can I do?

Did you download or install Acrobat X separately? You cannot, you must use the CS installer.

OCR not working with Acrobat Pro X

I have Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.9 using Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) OS running in a virtual environment (Parallels ver 9.0) on a MacBook Pro. I have 16 GB of System Memory and 6 CPU's dedicated to the virtual environment. For some reason: 1. I cannot select renderable text with my cursor in a pdf containing such (i just see the cursor turn to a hand symbol as if to use the cursor to move the image around; and 2. I can run Acrobat's OCR on a recently scanned pdf but once again I cannot select the text (same hand symbol appears). I went to Control Panel - Programs and selected "Repair" the Acrobat program but this was no help. What I don't understand is prior to installing my Acrobat Pro X program on this computer I had it installed on a PC running Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) and everything worked fine. Any ideas? WR
02/10/14 Update: Spoke with Adobe Tech Support and they informed me the problem I am having with the windows version of Acrobat Pro X above is caused by running the program in the Parallels virtual environment on a Mac. This is odd as the purpose of running Parallels on the Mac is so that one can operate the Windows OS and programs on a Mac. They suggested I purchase the Pro XI version for Mac.

"Copy C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\adobe\acrobat 9.0\acrobat\plug-ins\PaperCapture\* to the parent directory C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\adobe\acrobat 9.0\acrobat\plug-ins
For Acrobat X, the path would be acrobat 10.0."
IT WORKS!!! Hey thanks dodland, now all I have to do is get my CS6 MC installer to take less than X hours to install just a version of Acrobat X that will recognize my MC serial number! I installed a version of Acrobat 10 from the MC extracted files and ran it as a trial, no go on the OCR. Then I did your copy suggestion and all is well. I've copied this fix as a text file to live with my MC install files. Now I just have to get a activated version running.
Thanks again, as I was considering wiping the entire drive just to fix this single issue and that would not be fun...

Shared Review End Review, Deadline not working in Acrobat Pro 9 for Acrobat Reader 8 reviewers

I am testing the features of PDF Shared Reviews on a network server using Acrobat Pro 9 with reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8.1. (All are Windows users.) After initiating the review via the Tracker and having no problem getting the reviewers to comment and publish, I select End Review in the Tracker. Acrobat Pro 9 registers this action and shows that the review has ended in the yellow bar at the top of the PDF and in the Tracker. However, all the reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8 can continue to comment, publish their comments, and the comments continue to show up in the PDF posted in the network folder. That PDF file continues to say, when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 by the initiator, that it is closed for reviewing. The comments published after the review has ended continue to show up. This is true minutes, hours, and days after the review has been ended so is not a synch problem.
I cannot add comments to this PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 because Acroat Pro registers the end of the review. I can open this file in Acrobat Reader 8 on my computer and continue to add comments. This same problem exists after the deadline set initially has passed. Acrobat Reader 8 users are always able to comment and publish comments when the review should have been ended for them.
How do I get the reviews to end for Acrobat Reader 8 users?
Thanks.
Mary-Nell

Those users will have to upgrade to Reader 9 to get the deadlines working

Advanced editing tool not working in Acrobat Pro 9.0

I created a fillable form in Live Cycle ES 8.2 and the recipient wants to add a hyperlink to a website in one of the text field areas of the form but it won't work.
I tried to do it for him in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I go to the Advanced Editing tool it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to get the advanced editing tool to work or why it may be disabled?

Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

PDFMaker icon not working in Acrobat Pro 8.3.1.

I am using OS Windows XP Home and Microsoft Office 2003.
I generally use the work around of "Print". Annoying that I cannot use the PDFMaker icon in any Microsoft products. It use to work flawlessly. I keep getting the annoying message "The acrobat pdfmaker server could not be loaded". I have found solutions regarding modifying registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AcroDist.exe"
Since I do not have a folder that specifically says Distillr, I modified the default key to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\acrodist.exe and Path to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\.
Did not work.
Anyone out there know how to repair??? The Acrobat "Repair" procedure is really not working for me.
Thanks.

Gernal_USA,
I'm moving your question to the Acrobat forum, since it does not relate to the CreatePDF service.

Search not working in Acrobat Pro Extended or Reader (v9)

I just created a 3d pdf from Right Hemisphere. I would like my end user to be able to search the model tree or BOM by part name. However, the search feature only finds the part about 10% of the time. I'm having difficulty troubleshooting this one. Should this feature work or am I just spinning my wheels? Or, are there limitations to the search feature in a 3d pdf?
Thanks

I have a simple 3d pdf with lots of objects (Created in 3dsmax, exported to pdf from Right Hemisphere). One window contains the Bill of Material. This window is very small and only about 8 parts are shown in the window. In the serach bar, if I type in the name of an object that is visable in the BOM window(ie. box), it will be found. If I type a part name that is in the model but not visable in the BOM window (ie. sphere) Acrobat does not find this object. Please see the attached images. Thanks for your help.
