PDFMaker in Acrobat 9 Standard not working

I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have Acrobat 9 (updated through 9.4). In January, I downloaded a trial of Acrobat X, decided I didn't want it. I uninstalled it and still have 9. However (and I think this is when it began), the Create Adobe PDF function is not working - neither from Word and Excel nor from within Acrobat ("Convert from file"). In "About Adobe Plug-Ins", some are "Loaded", some are not and Convert2AdobePDF is not. When I try to run "Convert to PDF" from Outlook, Ouloook crashes.
I have been going 'round and 'round, repairing and installing, trying everything I can find via Google and have broken down in despair (unfortunately, I am not exaggerating). My Print to PDF is working but the resulting fonts are thin and anaemic.

Thank you, Bill, but I did try that (see above "I have been going 'round and 'round, repairing and installing..."). I run
repair, re-start and it still won't work and doesn't show as a loaded Plug-In.

I purchased Acrobat Standard, not realizing it is not compatible with MAC. I need to exchange. I just chatted with a so-called "specialist" who told me to sign in and download the same program. I got the same blasted message. I need help. I need to exchange this program for one that is compatible with my MAC. The standard is of no use to me at all. I feel like I have been ripped off

I had not thought of that. I will try to install it using compatibility mode on one of our systems and see if that solves the problem.
Thank you very much.

Hi t0m#2410,
How did you install Acrobat, did you install it as a part of Suite installation.
If it is a part of suite then deactivate suite uninstall Acrobat, Reinstall Acrobat using Suite media. Launch Photoshop first and Activate.
Then try launch Acrobat.

I want to download the 'TRIAL' version of Acrobat 'Standard' not the 'Pro' version

I want to buy the Acrobat Standard version for my company's laptop, but I need to make sure that Acrobat Standard is enough for my work or not. However, I can download only the Pro version of Acrobat which I don't need to. How can I have a trial version of Acrobat Standard

Hi Nawanat,
You cannot install a trial version of Acrobat Std. as it's not available.
The main differences between Acrobat 11 Pro and Std. are http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
You can use the trial version of Pro for 30 days and compare the features you require and those you can afford to miss in the Std. version

The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text in Acrobat Standard, but works fine in Reader

Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13, Win 7 64bit,
The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text.
This is not a scanned document. When I search for some word that DOES exist in the document, Acrobat will highlight text that does not match at all and which does NOT contain the word. If I select the actual word, copy and past the text, I get the selected text accurately, but when I paste the same selected text into the Find box to search for it, Acrobat still mis-finds.
HOWEVER, I can open the very same .PDF file in Acrobat Reader X and do not have the same problem - Find works correctly in Reader with the same .PDF.
What is going on?! Both Acrobat standard, and Reader report that they are up to date. Please help.

Can you try rasterizing (converting the document to tiff/bmp) and then importing those image files (tiff/bmp) back in Acrobat.
This would allow document to be re-OCRed and you will be able to search text in it. You can use lossless export/import settings to preserve the quality of ducment.
For exporting the file:
1: Go to File > Save As Other > Image > Tiff.
2: Click on Settings button in the Save As Dialog and set the file settings as ZIP for Monochrome, Grayscale and Color.
Now for importing the files back:
1: Press Ctrl + K
2: In the Preferences dialog, select Convert To PDF option in Categories.
3: Choose tiff or bmp (as per the format used while exporting) and un-check Scan Optimization and OCR.
4: Set Color and Grayscale to Zip and Monochrome to CCITT G4.
5: Save the settings.
6: Now import all the pages in Acrobat.
7: You can use Combine Files feature to merge all the image files.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.
Charles

Adobe Clip Notes in Acrobat Reader Not Working

I am having an issue with acrobat reader not processing the clip notes correctly. In Acrobat Reader 9.1 the clip notes do not process and save with the time line. All notes are placed in one box and are not saved intividually with the time line code. The export option button is there but does not work. This is happening not only for my customer but for me as well using a computer with only Acrobat Reader installed.. (9.1)
So there seems to be an issue with Acrobat Reader and clip notes... It works fine on my system with Acrobat Pro installed but from my understaning, it should work with Acrobat Reader as well..
Any help would be appreciated.. I lost my connection to support.. I was on the phone and it went dead and no one has called back yet..
I am using all CS4 producst (Master Collection) So this is being exported to .pdf by Premier Pro CS4

I am having this problem with a slew of users as well. I have followed all of the steps in Adobe KB article 405461 and while one solution in this resolve the problem (using reader as a helper program instead of opening PDF files directly within the browser) with the error message it caused problems with other web applications that we use. Has anyone else figured out how to get Adobe reader to work within IE? I have to think there was something included in the last batch of Windows Updates because it was working fine prior to that.
Thanks.

Printing with overprints in Acrobat X not working-

I have been trying to print PDFs to a laser printer trying to get Overprints to show up as they do in the PDF with the overprint preview on. I ended up opening them in Acrobat 9 and printing to image. This was what I used to do in Acrobat 9 to get the overprints to show up on my print outs. This seems to no longer work in Acrobat X. As much as I tried I could not get the PDF to print as shown when the overprint preview was turned on using the Advanced > Print as Image checked in the print dialog.
What is the deal with Acrobat X? What am I missing? Did Adobe do this to make life hard for all users of previous versions of Acrobat? It worked then and not now what's different?!?

Some laser printers have a setting, usually under "Advanced" called Simulate Overprinting. That works for me without printing as an image.

Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

Hi!
Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
TY in advance / Nkla

Nikola,
Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.

Acrobat Distiller not working

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.5 and am using Acrobat 7.0 Professional. Since upgrading, a great majority of the files I try to convert to ps are not converting (a vast variety of error messages) and therefore cannot create a pdf file using this method. None of my settings have been changed. I am wondering if Acrobat 7 compatible with OS 10.5 and is there a way to work around this? Acrobat 6 Professional works just fine with the new system.

Acrobat 7 is not compatible with 10.5. In fact neither is 8, you need to
upgrade to 8.1 for some level of compatibility.

Acrobat standard not downloading

I have bought acrobat standard and it wont download

Hi colette001,
Have you bought the subscription or the retail license?
If subscription then you need to download from: http://www.cloud.acrobat.com/
If retail you can download from: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
In case you still are not able to download then use a different browser and check.

Acrobat does not work after one month

Recently I reinstalled OS in my computer, of course with installation of Adobe CS6. and the acrobat stopped to work after about one month while photoshop and others work as usual. I would sincerely appreciate if someone could tell me how to fix it.

Hey claudes1837819,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
For Windows, you might refer the KB doc link mentioned below:
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite
Hope to hear from you.

Adobe Acrobat 9 standard not working anymore

I purchased Acrobat 9 standard online. Installed on both laptop and desktop machines. Laptop version still functions fine, but desktop version no longer works. Error 1311 source file not found - setup files. I tried the "repair" to no avail. How do I fix this? Adobe says they have no support for this. They sent me to this forum.

Hi nywireguy1,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble with Acrobat 9. Does the error occur when you try to reinstall Acrobat? If so, this document may help: Error 1311, 1335, or 2350 "Source file not found...data1.cab" |Install Adobe products | Windows

Standard X Acrobat - highlighter not working

It shows the highlighter option but won't highlight on a work. It was working and had a pop up that I had to ok. It had a box to not see the pop up anymore. I didn't realize that would take the option away. How do I get that back?

I was just highlighting these very sentences but depending on the type of pdf, I would get a pop up and say yes allow. I noticed there was a box in the pop up that said I could make it so I don't see it again. Well, now it won't highlight. No options. Can I get that message back?
