Pages not cropping or rotating in Acrobat Professional 8.3.1
I am using Acrobat Professional 8.3.1 on Mac 10.5.6. When cropping or rotating pages in Press Quality PDFs I have created in Distiller, the operation is sometimes ignored or says can't find pages when all is selected, choosing the option a number of times eventually works, the quicker I select the options, the more chance there is that it works. I have reinstalled the programme but I still have the problem.
Any ideas, I wonder will an upgrade to 9 help, I am reluctant to spend the money if the problem persists.
I didn't.
However, after my initial post, I noticed that there were many other options not present, so I did a repair installation. The redaction option, along with these other options, is now back.

Acrobat Distiller Server OR Acrobat Professional
Hello
I am looking to use the Adobe Distiller API inside my application which will convert Postscript files to PDF. The application will run on a server and will monitor a particular folder for Postscript files. The application will create the PDF files into another folder on the server.
We have a dev, test and production server which we will run this application on in some capacity.
I have been recommended by customer services to purchase the Acrobat Distiller Server(100 users) and that this can be deployed on all 3 servers. Could I not buy 3 licenses of Acrobat Professional instead?
Thanks in advance.Ok. If I buy Acrobat Distiller Server then can I use it on all 3 servers - development, test and production. So really the 'actual' execution will only be on the production server.
Thanks. -

"Page Properties" grayed out in Acrobat Professional XI
I create PDF fact sheets and newsletters from Adobe InDesign CS 6. I am using Acrobat Professional XI. I am tasked with making these PDFs accessible to assistive reading technology.
I carefully set up tags and reading order in InDesign, but in order to import that structure into the PDF, I need to access Page Properties in the Options menu of Page Thumbnails. But Page Properties is grayed out. It is not accessible to me.
I checked to be sure the Acrobat Accessibility plug-in is loaded. It is not loaded.
Need to know how to
Enable Page Properties in Acrobat Pro 11.0.9
Load the Accessibility.api plug-inAnswer is to select all pages in the Pages thumbnail. Got it from an Adobe video on accessible PDFs from InDesign Preparing Accessible PDFs with Adobe InDesign CS5.5: Part II | Accessibility @ Adobe | Adobe TV

Rotated Pages not Printing Properly
Greetings All,
I'm not sure whether this is more an Acrobat issues or Word. I'm sure each would say the other.
Working in Word 2010 with files that have some hi res images in them. We're using the Acrobat X PDF Maker Office COM Addin as it was the only way I found to get the full resolution of the images. The books also have pages that are rotated in Word to landscape. Once PDF'd those pages are then rotated in Acrobat to be right-reading. Which all seems fine on the screen.
When printed to a laser printer, however, the pages that were landscape in Word and rotated in Acrobat sit lower on the printed sheet than the "regular" pages which are portrait in Word and therefore NOT rotated in Acrobat, ONLY when this button at the bottom left of the Acrobat print dialog is turned ON:
If the "Auto..." button is on it prints correctly. It's almost as if the rotation in formation within the Acrobat file is incorrect.
This happens when printed form Acrobat versions 9, 10 and 11.
Has any one seen this and is it something the printer may have trouble with?
Thanks for reading,
KenI've printed the PDF on 3 different printers, all get the same result.
An interesting note (and maybe a clue?) that I hadn't bothered mentioning is that for the previous book in this series, using the same Word 2010 template, we used Word's Save As PDF to create the PDF. It wasn't until we were making the final PDF for the printer that we realized Word wasn't exporting the art at full resolution.
WHICH MAKES NO BLOODY SENSE AT ALL!!! (sorry for the rant - we ended up editing the PDF going to the printer and replacing the low res art Word put in with high res versions)
THAT PDF does not have this problem. Whether it's from having been created with the SaveAs or whether it was the extensive editing in Acrobat I can't possibly say. I DID try saving the PDF from Acrobat but it didn't fix the rotated pages problem.
Thanks for chiming in! -
How to: Rotate pages from Portrait to Landscape using Acrobat Pro XI?
As title states need to know how to do this on a multi-page document.
E.g. out of a 10 page document, pages 4-7 need to be changed from portrait to landscape. Note must keep the document scaling once pages 4-7 are changed to landscape.
Tried Tool > Rotate and it does not work. Rotating 90 degrees or 180 degrees do not present the document in landscape format. Researching the forums does not provide a solution.
Can someone help provide specific steps for Acrobat Pro XI? Thanks!Never heard of a this issue. Perhaps we are expecting different things. Here is a portrait page:
and I apply Rotate Clockwise 90 degrees. Here is the result:
Document scaling is preserved. (Of course 180 degrees does not change to portrait, but it makes it upside down).
This to me has worked as expected. Were you expecting something different? For example, were you expecting the effect you would have in Word if you changed page setup from portrait to landscape, where the contents would not rotate, but would reformat to fit the new page - which certainly isn't what happens in PDF. -
Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional. I need to know how to create multi-links on 300 page docs
I need to know how to create multi-links on a 300 page document, showing "return to main Menu". Ideally placed on the bottom right of each page. I have adobe acrobat Professional.
Import a picture to be a button, place it, activate HYPERLINK tool, draw a rectangle around the whole button, in the window popping up select the link behaviour, submit with OK.
Then copy & paste the button object to every page. I don't know whether pasting it on every of the 300 pages can be automated, but if not, it is still done quite fastly. -
System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional
Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
try
tell process "Acrobat"
-- Enable security settings
click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
tell window "Document Properties"
tell tab group 1

A delay does not work... its like as soon as I click the "OK" button it stalls for 10 seconds or does not know that is meant to continue... because I did this:

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
ThanksI’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks -
I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"
I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Could not get exact contents from pdf using adobe acrobat professional
Hi,
I am using acrobat professional to extract contents from a pdf into HTML. During extraction of pdf into HTML some contents are getting rendered as images. But with pdf to xml extraction i can get the exact contents. But i need HTML file from pdf. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.You might want to see if you can select the background with the object touchup tool. If so, can you then just delete the selected object. May take a while to go through the document, but if it solves the problem you are ahead. You may be able to select it with JavaScript and repeat the process. My point of using the object touchup tool is that it may not be a background set by Acrobat, but something that is simply labeled as an image from the Acrobat viewpoint.

Acrobat Professional 7 Document Message Bar does not display
I am running Acrobat Professional 7.0.9 on a Windows 2000 PC (HP Compaq dc7100, P4, 1GB RAM). After upgrading Adobe Reader to version 8.1.2, I can no longer create forms that trigger the Document Message Bar to display in either Acrobat or Reader. (No, the Always Hide option is not selected in my preferences in either program.) Forms I created before the upgrade still display normally. How can I fix this issue?
I had troubles with Acrobat Pro 6.0 after I installed Reader 8.1.2.
I removed the newer reader and all worked fine again. Seems I'm not missing much using the 6.0 version. -
FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI
Good morning!
I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file. This is working as it should.
However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in Acrobat Professional XI.
Is this the default? Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
I have Windows XP
in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
Are there other changes that need to be made?
We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect. Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
As always--Thank you for your help!Thank you for your quick response!
no--it is an fdf file. Has an .fdf extension.
One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account. The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! -
Saving as PDF, Photoshop CS5 (Acrobat not cropping)
Just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In the earlier version, I always saved files as PDFs from the Print box. Then I'd open the PDF in Acrobat and check "Remove White Margins" in order to crop to my Photoshop file size. When I try this same method in CS5, Acrobat will not crop my image to match my Photoshop file size.
I believe it's an issue with Photoshop CS5 because I tried my same old method using Photoshop CS3 and the new Acrobat and it works like it used to. Is there another way to save as a PDF from CS5? Any ideas?
Thanks.Printing to PDF from the print box is an OS process - it takes the printer data that Photoshop sends and creates PDF from it.
Photoshop CS5 does use the newer Cocoa printing APIs, which could cause changes in the output (due to differences in Apple's code).
For saving PDF, I really suggest you just save the file as PDF from Photoshop and skip the print dialog. -
Acrobat Professional 8: How to create a PDF which will print most pages in A4, but some in A3?
I am very new to Acrobat Professional 8 - Can anyone tell me how to create a basic PDF document to print most pages in A4, but some in A3?
Currently my document is set up as a binder, do I need to set it up as a PDF package?
thanks.Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
I will explain better my problem:
I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
Thank you very much!
