Pdf Documents change language

I have an iBook, dual boot OS 9.2.2 / 10.2.4. Recently I installed a music sequencng program which runs in OS 9. The program came with some additional documentation, which are pdf files. The files open in Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 (which happens to reside in the OSX applications folder).
I had no problem reading the documents until this morning, when I discovered that a few of them had spontaneously switched their language to French, icon titles included. The Acrobat preferences application language is set to English. I tried trashing the preference file, rebuilding the desktop, without any change.
Does anyone know what on earth could cause this? The same documents were in English last night. (?)

Okay, I'm really going with too little sleep lately...
But I discovered that of the 23 pdf documents in this folder, 4 were duplicated in French. The document I was reading last night was was titled "VST Instruments", and the one which I opened this morning, "Instruments VST", was in French. I just didn't catch the title discrepency. 3 others had titles that were obviously in another language.
As to why these documents were mixed in with the English ones, I have no idea.
Sorry for the post.

  • Change language of a pdf document

    i download a pdf document and it is in french , does anyone know if i can change it in english?
    is possible?
    thanks

    Bausch,
    There are a few issues here. First, I can't find a simple way to get text from a PDF with Automator. There are some scripts that could be used to do this, I'm sure. But if it's just one PDF you want to translate, double click on the PDF to open it in Preview, Apple-A to select all text, Apple-C to copy it. Open a new TexteditDoc, Apple-V to paste. Save the document.
    Apple has created a translator action, but I've had no luck in getting it to work:
    http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/translate-text/
    Download it and import the action into Automator. Your workflow would be:
    Get Selected Finder Items (Choose the TextEdit Doc with the pasted text in it.)
    Open Selected Finder Items
    Get Contents of TextEdit Document
    Translate Text (This will be in the TextEdit Library. Set to French>English or )
    New TextEdit Document
    No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a try. It it were, you could set another translate action to English>Spanish, but I think a lot would be lost in translation.

  • Hi. I use ExportPDF. Does Adobe support pdf documents written in Arabic Language? Does it change the documents in arabic language into microsoft word??

    I have PDF documents written in Arabic. I would like to convert it into Microsoft Word. Unfortunately I am unable to do this. Please help me in my quiery. Does Adobe PDF converter support Arabic font??

    Hi Yousif04,
    If your document has fonts attached you can convert to Microsoft word that is quite possible. But if the fonts were used to create the file arent present in the system the Microsoft word may not be able to retain the layout of the document.
    There shouldn't be any problem for ExportPdf service to convert your document.
    To check fonts used for that PDF. Open PDF either in Reader or In Acrobat. Click on File go to Properties. Document Property windows will appear there is Fonts Tab. You will the fonts embedded for the document.

  • How can I change the printing setting from head to toe to head to head, to print a pdf document

    Hi everyone, I'm printing a booklet from a pdf document. I have used the two-sided option but it reverses the position of the second page.
    How can I set it up  head to print what you will call in a pc enviroment: head to head?
    Thanks,

    Terence,
    perhaps Dukeasooke is using mixed language settings like me.
    I found that changing "Measurements Units" did not suffice, if the region is still set to Germany. I had to actually set the region in the Language & Text preferences to a country that uses "US" units in addition to ensuring that the "US" units were selected. Also, with Mavericks it is essential  to restart the system before launching iPhoto again after changing "Language & Text" preferences, or they may not take.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?
    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • When saving photoshop file in PDF, my document changes, how do I solve this?

    Hello everybody,
    Im trying to save my CS6 files as PDF documents. When I save my files as PDF some texts or images disappear or deform.
    Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
    Is there a setting I need to change for saving my files so they don't change?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    Which operating system and version of photoshop cs6 are you using?
    You can find out the exact photoshop cs6 version by going to Help>System Info from within photoshop and looking at the very first line that says Photoshop Version.

  • I can't save changes to my PDF document?

    I downloaded a PDF document from Google Chrome onto my desktop. (It's a job application). However, every time I make changes to it, click save, and then open it up again using Preview, none of my changes have saved. Help?

    No -- I installed adobe acrobat -- and now, whether I'm signed in or not -- the little disc/save icon is whited out and it can no longer be selected -- when I open a PDF I can only save it to the cloud
    I am a physician, and a lot of what I look at is protected health information --- I can't be saving it in the cloud!!!  I have to find a way to disable this feature -- and restore my ability to save to my hard drive ONLY --
    Thanks -- but if you can tell me those things, I'll be grateful
    tried to attach screen shot to show you, but it was too big .......

  • How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC?  I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

    Help.  How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC?  I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

    There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

  • When I want to open a PDF document The box that pops up asking if I want to open or save does not come up and it always saves. I need this changed.

    When the window opens to ask if I want to save or not comes up it does so for WORD documents just fine, however, for PDF documents it never asks (it used to). Now it just automatically saves them without asking. I need this changed. I went into applications and changed the setting to always ask but it still is just saving, them no window pops up asking what I want firefox to do with the file like it does with a WORD document. IF I cannot get this resolved I will not be able to continue using firefox. I teach and I have students submitting articles etc in pdf format, I cannot constantly save all pdf files. I just want to open them, review them and then move on. There must be a way to change this so that the window asking what I want firfox to do with the pdf files opens.
    thank you,
    kkwright

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

  • How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

    How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
    I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
    I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

    Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
    I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

  • How do I password-protect a PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

    I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me).  There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it.  What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

    Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader!  That makes sense.  Thanks so much for your reply.  At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs.  If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?
