PDF/A keywords still doubled in Acrobat 9.3

After Adobe Acrobat for Windows is patched to version 9.3, the long-standing PDF/A keywords bug is still present. When Saving As PDF/A, the words in Document Properties >Description >Keywords are doubled.
Does anyone know an effective way to ask Adobe to fix that bug? I suspect a fix would be a small matter for Adobe, and of course it's disappointing that version 9.3 does not include such a fix.
Thanks!

Michael,
Yes, the "PDF/A keywords" bug was reported via that link -- more than once, and by more than me. See, for example, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2435312#2435312.
Would it help if *you* also reported it? You have a significantly larger presence on this forum than I do. If you feel that could help, please do report the bug.
And/or, is there another way to obtain Adobe's attention on the matter? Acrobat is a major product for Adobe, and "9" is still its current version, so it's difficult for me to understand why such an exasperating problem that needs only such a simple fix does not obtain Adobe's immediate attention (for instance, via a specific patch). The problem could probably be solved with less than an hour of a programmer's time. For a paid-in-full Acrobat 9 Pro user, who needs and uses the PDF/A feature, it feels like being held hostage to the whims of the software's developer.
For now, my workaround is to generate my PDF/A files via non-Adobe software, where the "PDF/A keywords" function works just as it should.

Acrobat Pro not opening PDF files when I double click on them- It only works if I bring up the program-.

I've installed a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. It will open the file if I hit control->open with->Acrobat Pro Luis: but if I double click on the document it only brings up the Acrobat XI Pro window with the "Open a Recent File", I've changed the "Open With" option on "Get Info" and still can't open the PDF files with a double click. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! LAGA

When I double click the file after Acrobat is opened nothing happens...
The PDF file only opens if I start the acrobat program then look for the PDF file or any PDF Files and then I am able to open them.

Double clicking file (.pdf) will not open associated App (Acrobat)

Hi All,
I am having a problem with opening .pdf files in that double clicking does not open the Acrobat Application.
• This just started happening about a month ago.
• Once I open the app manually, double clicking the file works fine
• I have associated .pdf files with 'Adobe Acrobat Pro.app' both through the Get Info 'Change All' button as well as trying the Open With 'Always Open With' method.
• I have associated .pdf files with 'Preview' and this works fine in that double clicking a .pdf file open within Preview at any time including when the app is not initially running.
• I have repaired Disk Permissions several times
• I have upgraded to CS4 including a new version of Acrobat during the period that I have been having this problem, and the same issue has remained (ie so happens with Acrobat 8 & Acrobat 9)
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can get by with leaving Acrobat open all the time, but would prefer to keep apps closed as much as possible.
Regards,
Ross

For some reason those associations are corrupted. Try clearing out the Launch Services caches, then reassign it to the correct app and let us know. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

I've tried Command Q to close; Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out; I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message:
There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
Thanks

Looks like it got stuck.
You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

Why is Photoshop Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf now that I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...

You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

Pdf's no longer opening in Acrobat X Pro

In the last two weeks or so, users have reported that where PDFs in libraries used to open in Acrobat Pro client, now the pdfs only open in browser.
We've checked the library and it's still set to Open in client Application.
In Internet options, pdfs are set to open in acrobat pro.
In Acrobat Pro's prefs, Acrobat Pro is set to be the default file handler for PDF.
we need to be able to get people who need to open direct into the client app working again.
anyone know of recent events that could have changed the behavior?

Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

from the FAQs on Staples website:
I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
Or does it occur in all other applications.
Check your Work preferences first:
If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

Export to pdf - mask is still selectable

hello
i've the problem that an image i placed and then exported artwork is still fully selectable in acrobat.
is there a way to apply the mask finally?
thx
chris

In illustrator select the image and the background and choose rasterize.
If you don't want people to be able to edit or select objects within your pdf, then turn on security in acrobat for that .pdf.

How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.

Adobe Reader does exactly what its name says: it reads PDF files, nothing more.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Can't print .indd booklet to PDF; opens print utility instead of Acrobat

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.
I have a 16 page .indd document that I'm trying to export via "print booklet", using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer. Every time I try to print as a PDF, it goes through the process of compiling the images, loading fonts, etc., but then my printer utility opens (obviously giving an error) instead of Acrobat. When I just choose export as PDF I have no issues whatsoever; Acrobat opens and it saves properly. I need the document, though, in a saddle stitch imposed format for the printer.

I'm a Windows user, so I may not have this exactly right, but printing to PDF from Print Booklet on Mac is a two-step process -- first you printto Postscript file using the Acrobat 9 ppd, then you distill the file.

Wrongly transformed the sentences of left and right paragraphs into one sentence in PDF files to txt files by Acrobat 9 Pro

I found that the when transforming PDF files into TXT files by Acrobat 9 Pro, the Acrobat will wrongly transform the sentences of the left hand side and right hand side paragraphs into one sentence, while the correct format should be the later sentence follows the former sentence in each paragraph.
An example PDF is : http://cardiovascres.oxfordjournals.org/content/cardiovascres/45/1/200.full.pdf
Is there any solution for this problem? Or should I use other software (or other version of Acrobat) to solve the problem? Thank you.

PDF is not a word processor file format.
It has no "styles", "format", "layout", "columns", "rows", "tables", etc.
PDF writers paint the content to the canvas that is the PDF page.
Depending on what was used and how it operates this painting can be like a paint by numbers affair.
ISO 32000-1:2008, the ISO standard for PDF explains it all.
So, when exporting to text from your PDF the progression is left to right, top down.
Remember, PDF has no awareness of "columns". What we see is our construct not PDF's.
What you and I see as two columns with a specific read order is our imposition.
What is on the PDF page is simply a line of text characters.
That is how it is with all versions of Acrobat. Applications can only make use of what the file format supports eh.
What to do?
Master content in a logical hierarchy in the authoring file.
Always use the build-in Headings for Headings.
Use the built-in "table" feature.
Use a PDF writer process that is compliant with the ISO standard and that supports proper output of Tagged PDF.
A well-formed Tagged PDF will export properly.
Two key design considerations for Tagged PDF are:
(1) Support Accessible PDF
(2) Support Export of PDF page content.
What constitutes a "well-formed tagged PDF?"
This would be a PDF that is ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant.
Be well...
