PDF opens in all versions of Acrobat except 7
I am working on a project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
"There was a problem reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears when you scroll down etc. I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat 7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7 does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or assistance is greatly appreciated
Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET)

How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader
How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader
You don't.
Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages. -
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 on Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2
Acrobat X version 10.1.3

PDFs open with reader instead of Acrobat Pro
OS: WinXP
A/Reader version: 9.3.4
A/Acrobat Pro version: 7
Issue:
PDFs open in the Reader and not in Acrobat Pro. I changed the File Association to open them with Acrobat Pro and it works fine for the rest of the day, but when I log in the next day it reverts back to opening in A/Reader again. This is an issue because of the way we have to access the PDFs at work, from within IE on a server.
Someone at work thought there might be a registry hack needed to fix this. I have looked at the registry entries for Reader and Pro, but there's nothing obvious to me.
One other thing that I have not tried as yet is to log in as Administrator and select (tick) the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option. Maybe it might seem obvious that this is what's needed, but it was working fine prior to last week. The tick is greyed out when logged in as a 'normal' user, but the tick is on too.
I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry. :-)
Many thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people. -
When open document, all pages are blank except title page.
The document can be viewed by other application.
Thanks, Paul.
I loaded up your PDF file which is simple text but more than 5000 pages into Reader 10.3 on my iPad 3. I had exactly the same results as you. The pages are blank.
It could be read fine in Acrobat Pro X on my Macintosh.
But then I also loaded it in PDF Expert on the iPad, and I could read it.
I think this is one for the Adobe engineers to look at. Reader 10.3 is not handling very large file sizes well.
By the way, I did a review of both Reader and PDF Expert (not free $US 9.99) at this link:
Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader -
Does anyone know why this issue has developed. It is a Windows Vista 64 which we have used for 5 years. the computer is working reliably but now we get a warning messgae that licensing has stopped working and we must reload the product. I have checked my Adobe ID and the product is registered correctly with Adobe. Ideas?
Hello Alan,
Considering this error message, I would suggest you to please visit the following KB doc link and try troubleshooting the same:

Please check and let me know.

How to set Sticky Notes open at all times in PDFs
XP Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
When I add a sticky note in a PDF, the sticky note always appears as an icon. Can I have sticky notes in a PDF open at all times, meaning when I open the PDF, the sticky notes in the PDF are already open? Can this be done. Thanks.In Acrobat's Preferences — play with the selections for "Commenting".

Save as Adobe PDF opens the wrong installation of AA
Hi all,
I bought an Adobe CC membership and after a month I found out that my apps were expiring. I accidentally set CC on Dutch (native language) but I ordered the English version. No problem, deinstalled all the apps and reinstalled them in the English version. Everything seems to work, almost.
When I'm using MS word 2010 and I want to save my document as a PDF file (Save as Adobe PDF), it opens the dialog that I have zero days left and have to fill in my serial number, in Dutch!
I can only cancel this screen, since I don't have the Dutch version of CC. If I try again I get the following error in Word.
I deinstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI now about 5 times, but it is still not working. How can I point PDFmaker to the right Acrobat?Hi Rave,
Thanks for the link. I tried them out but still no luck. When I press Save to PDF it opens the English version of Acrobat and this Dutch activation screen, after that I only get the alert and the activation screen. So I can save one pdf document and then I've to reinstall Acrobat. It's activated, but only the English version, somewhere on my pc there is still some leftover from the Dutch version.

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.

Is there any harm in installing an older version of Acrobat along with the new version?
I'm running Acrobat v11.0.04 on my iMac. For my work, I have to create pdfs and upload them to a special server that then generates dynamic versions of them (blah blah blah... I don't really understand that part of it...). Anyway, it can't use PDFs created by this version of Acrobat... or the last few versions, for that matter. So... is there any harm in installing version 8 (which does work) on my iMac? I don't want to get rid of version 11... I want to have both.
Thanks!
julieI am not sure anyone knows what the server needs. We just know what doesn't work. What DOES work are the pdfs I compile (I have to combine two pdfs into one) are the ones created from version 8. I will ask if I can get specifications. It's confusing because I create the pdfs and send them to someone else. He uploads them to this server which is run by another company. So there are a lot of different levels involved. All I know is that every time a new version of Acrobat comes out, I create a test pdf and it doesn't work. I always have to go back to version 8. I recently bought a new computer and didn't want to install version 8... but unless we can figure out a way to generate the "right" pdfs, it looks like I might have to. Anyway, I'll see what I can find out.

Do all versions of Adobe support opening a PDF to a specific page?
I am looking to append a url with "#page=x" in order to open a PDF to a specific page. Do all versions of Adobe support this functionality?
Well, we first have to define what we mean by Adobe.
Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat do, not in all versions but in recent versions (the last decade or so).
It works only in certain browsers, and only if the PDF is opened in the browser window NOT downloaded or opened separately.
I assume you are aware that there are many non-Adobe PDF viewers (e.g. those built into Chrome, FireFox, Safari, and IE on Windows 8); each will have their own idea of what to do. -
PDF files opening and closing slowly in Acrobat version 9.5.2.
I am running Acrobat 9.5.2. Last week our server died at work and we converted to a new one. Since then pdf files have been opening and closing very slowly, sometimes taking 15+ seconds to close. Strangely enough, if you open and close several in a row then they usually open and close quickly with some exceptions, but if you wait 10+ seconds and then try to open or close one it takes forever. This happens whether or not the machine is connected to the server.
I tried to do a repair, however it said that it could not connect to the my documents folder at the old server location. When I originally installed Acrobat, it was done through my University and not while I was even connected to my work server, so that is confusing to me. Please help, as I use pdf's constantly and this is really slowing me down.It doesn't seem like an Acrobat problem per se but a problem with they way your computer is configured to reach the new server. Perhaps you need to have someone come and look at how your computer is configured to reach the new server. It could also be a problem with how the university configured their server. Server issues are something that cannot easily to diagnosed remotely.

Open all PDFs in same window option in Acrobat 9?
All my PDFs open in separate windows/acrobat instances. There used to be a feature in option to allow all to open in same window. Cant seem to find it in verison 9.
You're correct. I think that was the switch between SDI (single document interface) and MDI (multiple document interface). In 8.x the ability to switch was there but in 9.0 it appears to have gone the way of the dinosaur. :(

Can anyone help with this - do I have to uninstall Reader and then reinstall?
I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007
