PDF Metadata in Adobe Reader 9 Pro

Hi,
I am after specific information on how to edit metadata in Adobe reader 9 Pro....I have a number of new fields that I want to create instead of the standard fields.
Is this possible?
The fields vary in length.
I dont have a great knowledge of java script or PDF but will be able to follow instructions / advice.
Thanks
Laura

I'm afraid that you've posted your question in the wrong forum. This one is for the now-retired desktop application for Acrobat.com, not Adobe Reader.
You should get more informed responses if you post in the Adobe Reader (not Acrobat.com) forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/adobe_reader

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!

Buffy

Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro. But in editable PDF combobox search is not working properly.
It's only search first character.

My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
Which one do you have?

Can adobe reader Xl pro compare pdfs with images

Can the Adobe reader Xl pro compare pdfs with images/graphics and test?

Claudio,
I have documents with multiple revisions. I want to know the change from revision 1 to revision 2. Can adobe show the difference between the two revisions?
The documents(pdfs) contain some text, graphics, flowcharts etc.

First page only when opening PDF (interactive) in Adobe Reader on iPad.

Hi,
I am having trouble opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader on iPad.
All software is up to date.
I created the interactive document in InDesign CS6.
Due to the fact that InDesign cannot export directly to PDF when you want to keep certain functions such as 'Go to page', I used the workaround of exporting to .swf file, loading this in Adobe Acrobat Pro, and exporting as PDF from there.
The PDF is fully functional and works perfectly on Mac and PC.
I added the Adobe Reader app to iPad.
I opened the iPad in iTunes on the Mac, went to the Adobe Reader app, and added the PDF.
The PDF shows up in Adobe Reader on the iPad.
Upon opening the PDF, only the first page shows, and none of the buttons work. The file size is correct and so the whole file 'should' be showing.
Whats going wrong?
Does Adobe Reader for iOS allow interactive PDFs?
Also, on a side note, I tried first adding the PDF's using Dropbox, but the 'share' icon in the Dropbox App did not update to include 'Adobe Reader' as an option, having installed Adobe Reader App. It should be there, shouldn't it?
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Zeen

Thanks Steve, but I had tried GoodReader earlier and that made no difference. This led me to think that it was something to do with what functions I was trying to have in my interactive file rather than limitations of a PDF reader App.
It is a bit disappointing, however, that Adobe's own app doesn't support interactive PDFs!
What I have now done is using InDesign CS6 Folio Builder panel and DPS to convert my interactive document into a .folio. I signed up to acrobat.com and then I was able to upload the .folio to my DPS cloud. On the iPad, I downloaded Adobe Content Viewer (care when searching the app store it's actually called Adobe® Content Viewer). Next I opened the App and it did a sync with my DPS cloud and now the PDF works with full interactivity on my iPad.
It was free to publish a personal-use .folio using the DPS Folio Producer. ^_^
I think that I might have been better from the outset creating my document in InDesign, then exporting as high quality print PDF to Acrobat to add buttons and functionality (instead of creating the buttons etc. in InDesign itself), then I have a feeling GoodReader would have been able to read that PDF fine. Regardless, today I created my first working .folio file and have learned a new skill in Adobe =]
The only problem I'm now having is that some of the images in the .folio are poor quality (I think ones that were link files to the original InDesign CS6 document), however this is not for this forum.
I wonder if anyone else has been trying to do the same as me. What was your method, if successful?
Ciao,
ZZ

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Can no longer digitally sign PDF's with Adobe Reader 9

On our government network some of us have been upgraded to Adobe Reader 9 but now we can no longer digitally sign some PDF files.
People with Adobe Reader or Pro 8 can. Here is a link to one of the documents:
www.unl.edu/nrotc/Nc3065.pdf
I'm also attaching the document.
The document security shows as "Digital signing allowed" in Adobe Reader 8 but "Not allowed" in Adobe Reader 9.
Is there something wrong with Adobe Reader 9 or something we need to change?
Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

I cannot say for sure, but some of the technology the government uses (like the IRS) uses older technology that is no longer support in version 9. For example the IRS tax forms cannot be fillied in and saved using Reader 9. My bet your seeing a similar problem. There is no workaround. You will need to go back to Reader 8 or get Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard.

Adobe Reader X Pro serial number popup on launch (windows 7)

Hi Folks
I have Adobe CS6 and part of this volume licence comes Adober reder X. 10.0.0
Unfortunately I'm having issues when deploying the Adober reader X package, I get a popup saying I have x amount of days left of my trial. (and it is actually counting down)
I've allocated the CS6 suite out to many PC's maybe 700 or so, and then allocated the Adobe reder X pro out. This is a side loading application from my understanding and depends on the full CS6 to be out first. The results I'm finding are mixed. Some staions are working fine, no popup's what so ever and others when opening a PDF or launch the application will produce the popup. This does seem to be computer specific I've tested the same network user on different stations and get different results. working, not working! I've also tried the full suite + adobe reader x pro on windows XP stations and so far it's never had the same issues, unfortunately out networks are quickly moving to windows 7, this seems to be the OS I have the problems with. I've not fully checked the difference with installed application from one station from another, I can do if required but most stations get the same apps installed via a 3rd party deployment tool.
I used the Customisation wizard to create the application and cut down on as many popups/updates as possible using this little tool. All works as you would expect apart from this serial number behaviour. This is causing major issues in all our education establishments and I really need to find some solution to this problem that doesn't involve de-installing the applications, it's too far spread.
I've been readign the forums and see a few different issues relating to serial number popup issues. Is this a software design fault?

Hi,
You've provided details about the problem, but not about your configuration and deployment steps.
First, follow the steps in the Admin and Wizard Guides here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/index.html. Pay attention to the Activation methodologies. You may have done all that, but double check.
At the bottom of the installation workflows section, you'll also find this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/licensing.html#acrobat-standa lone-and-aamee
There is additional doc for Acrobat delivered with CS here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
HTH!

Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
Anything else I could try before paying?

I have same problem as described above, but not always. Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America. Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish. i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.
. Various computers,
. same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
. Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
. Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?

How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?
I've created a PDF which (I believe) includes XMP metadata, and I'd obviously like to check that it's been done correctly. However it's not obvious how to view this within Adobe Reader (I'm using 11.0.04 on OS X). Googling around, I've found an off-hand remark that Reader isn't able to do this, but this is obviously insane -- what's the point of licensing metadata if no-one can see it? What is it I'm missing?
Best wishes,
Norman

I've put a PDF at http://nxg.me.uk/temp/part1.pdf This does display/print perfectly OK in both Reader and in OS X Preview. I presume that the /Root object (254) is inside one of the ObjStm streams (yes?), as (presumably) are the /Page streams and the reference to the /Metadata object, 52.
Regarding scanning, Part 3 of the XMP spec, Sect 1.2 says "It is always best to use format-aware file parsing when possible. Lacking this information, applications can find XMP packets by scanning the file." Also, in Sect. 1.2.1, "A file should be scanned byte-by-byte until a valid header is found." Finally, ISO-32000-1 Sect. 14.3.2, Note 3, says "[The XMP spec] includes a method to embed XML data within non-XML data files in a platform-independent format that can be easily located and accessed by simple scanning rather than requiring the document file to be parsed." So it would appear that this metadata packet _should_ be found.

How to convert XPS file to a PDF one via Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with command line?

Hello,
How to convert XPS file to a PDF one via Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with command line?

It is not good. If I need to export some hundred of separate *.XPS files to hundred separate *.PDF files, I need to do this manually with each file. It is stone age.

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?
If not is there a way to combine lets say 100 documents into another PDF file at once (Batch export) in PDF Pack software or do I have to add each document one by one drop and drag style?
Thanks

What has this got to do with Photoshop?
In Acrobat Pro one can combine pdfs (Combine Files into PDF) and Photoshop (not in CS5, but again in CS6) offers File > Auromate > PDF Presentation to combine Photoshop files in one pdf.

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

What is your operating system?
Open a PDF from where? If online, in what browser?

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.
