Scanned doc, saved as Acrobat X pdf, then edited, prints only edits not the whole saved pdf

In PS CS5, I imported a text document from scanner. I made some edits, including some paint brush (white on white) and some text layers. I saved it as a pdf and then opened it in Acrobat X 10.0.10, then printed it. Only the text layer edits themselves printed and not the rest of the original document with the edits.I think the problem lies with Acrobat, so posted here.
Win7 SP1

This is bordering on breaking physical laws. In PS the only thing that prints are the changes on created layers. The original document (background) does not print along with my changes, the same output as in Acrobat. Then in PS I saved it as a jpeg. Im looking at the image of the changed document in its entirety in the photo viewer but the same thing happens as in PS and Acrobat - only my changes (new layers) print, nothing else. Thats kinda creepy...

Acrobat Reader 11.0 and way to reduce size of scanned docs saved as 'pdf

Dear correspondents,
I despair this message to be read and generate an answer. If it is, please give me an address to which I could send my request.
The issue is of decreasing the size in Mb of scanned files, saved as .pdf. I am in MaOS environment and use Adobe Reader 11.0.
I cannot find the command "Combine Files". From it and via "View" is is possible to open "Toolbar" and operate the size reduction.
I have seen this work done in Windows Environment successfully reducin a scanned file from 10 Mb to 1.1 Mb with a still acceptable quality.
I need your adivices,please,

The product you have seen in Windows is probably Acrobat Pro. The free Adobe Reader doesn't do any of that stuff, but does look a bit like Acrobat Pro.

Wish to scan doc on 3520 into non-PDF file

I wish to scan documents that I design into computer from HP 3520 as .RTF, .DOC, .DOCX - anything other than PDF as per previous versons of HP such as Deskjet. Possible rather than paying for conversion costs?

Hi @jonesdavid44
Although the HP 3520 does not have OCR as apart of the full feature software and drivers that installs, I might have an idea.
I can suggest you download and install the software for the Officejet 8500 wireless, I can not guarantee the OCR software for it will work properly with your printer, but we can try it.
Here is a another post written by @MissTeriLynn that validates my suspicion, and has the link to the software for the 8500 already. No OCR option in HP Solutions Centre.
An alternate plan is to use the Scan and edit a document option, or Google 'Free OCR software' and see what you find. There are many programs out there you could use.
Basically, once we have the OCR feature, your csan options should look something like this;
I hope this helps. Please let me know if one of these solutions resolves the issue, thanks.

Acrobat pro 9.5.5 is printing only part of the page

It looks fine on screen; it looks fine in the little preview when I print; but the actual printed page is mostly white, for this one page in a multipage document. No layers. Grey scale. This is a page that was combined with other PDF pages to form a document.
Mac OS 10.10.2

Replying to myself - after searching for a while, I tried "print as image" under Advanced... in the print window, and the whole page printed. Not sure what is going on but at least I have a work around. I'd still like to know whether other people I send PDFs to will run into the same problem.

Add the ability to flatten specific pages not the whole PDF

There are times when I need to flatten a PDF, or should I say part of a PDF and it would be nice to not have to extract pages then re-insert them.

Note that with the doc.flattenPages JavaScript method, you can flatten a range of pages, which can represent a single page. More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference.

My last song purchased only loaded halfway through and then quit. I paid for the whole song and I want the other half...any ideas? My computer is a Mac and I've never had the problem before.

Normally I purchase my music through i-tunes and never have any issues but the last song only loaded halfway before quitting. Is there a way of getting the song re-issued or preventing this happening again? It's just a waste of my time and money.

You can redownload the song from the Purchased tab in the iTunes store.

Acrobat reader DC refuses to print

I have a new installation of windows 8.1. Have just installed Adobe Acrobat reader DC.
However
1) It takes ages to load (some times 30 seconds)
2) When I give it a pdf it shows it, but the print option takes ages to appear (rendering for ages - again c30 seconds)
3) I press print - Absolutely nothing happens!!!!
Yet my old installation on a different laptop running W7 and reader x will quite happily print the same pdf of the same printer (Kyocera 5020).
This is frustrating me enormously.
My wife's PC also refuses to print pdf documents fully using DC. It will print only part of the background, but not the text.
Please help. THis should be basic and simple but even re-installing it several times has not helped.
Thanks
Phil

Try uninstalling and then re-installing. The following script may help with a complete uninstall: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Attaching ONLY a PDF icon, not the open file to a mail message.

I recall that I once found a Menu item for limiting the attachment of a PDF to its icon only and NOT the opened file. I can't find it now. Any idea welcome.

I had it and now it is gone. Don't know exactly when but recently (OSX 10.8.5). Perhaps I am not the only one with this experience. It seemed to work for all attachments too ala MS Exchange. Changing to plain text did not help me.
Does the recipient get it the same way it is sent - not having tested? Yes I'm lazy.
Is there a way to set attachment as icon by default without a third party tool?

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

Adobe also has Acrobat.com and there is DropBox.com. Adobe has also announced Adobe Document Cloud.
Forms central provide a subscription service for users with Reader to create simple forms. Apparently this did not meet a majority of users and with the minimal price difference for Acrobat and free web storage the users were better served without it. I expect cloud services will continue to emerge until providers better and more fully understand the user requirements.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

Photosmart Premium C310a scanner is saving docs as .xps instead of .pdf

Docs scanned are saved as .xps will not print. Setting is to scan document to pdf. this just started after reinstall. Receipts and other docs saved as JPEG file print perfectly. tried newly scanned and previously scanned docs - none will print.

Hi momx4guys,
Thank you for the reply, and apologies for the lateness of mine, I was just being thorough
I will suggest that you start by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I would suggest running it for both Fix Printing and Fix Scanning and see what it has to offer.
If it is not able to resolve the issue, I would suggest clearing out your Temp folder (I realize it says it's for Windows 7, but the steps are the same for Vista) and then performing a Level 3 Uninstall to remove all of the HP software, and then downloading the latest version of your Photosmart C310a's software from HP's site and installing from that. If you use Internet Explorer to download the software make sure when it asks if you'd like to Run or Save that you choose Save.
Once this is done, you should have the right options again

How do I scan a doc then edit.

How do I scan a doc then edit.

Use Acrobat. Run the paper document through the scanner. Bring the scanner's output image into PDF. Acrobat provides for OCR of scanned images of textual content. Because the file is PDF "editing" is problematic. PDF does not suffer "editing" gladly. Minor touchups are possible and the best application for this is Acrobat. With that said of the three methods of OCR it is ClearScan that most readily supports modification of the OCR output. Perhaps more effective is to export the OCR output to a Word file. Do the content cleanup (a word processing format is designed to support content editing) then output a fresh PDF.
Be well...

[JS CS3 Win] Export to PDF then auto-print PDF from Acrobat

Hello!
I am working on the script that is exporting pages to PDF, and would like to automatically send exported PDF to print from Acrobat.
I get the scripting part for exporting to PDF, and it's working very well, but I have trouble on the part of the script that tells Acrobat to open the PDF and send it to printer. Script is run from InDesign, so I thought this is right forum to ask.
The following part of the script is working OK on one computer, but on other two computers with similar configuration (CS3. Windows, Acrobat 8) it doesn't work at all and I can't figure out where is the problem:
var printFile = "/c/temp/test.pdf";
var remoteScript = "printFile = decodeURI('"+printFile+"');\n";
remoteScript += "var doc = app.openDoc({cPath: printFile});\n";
remoteScript += "var pp = doc.getPrintParams();\n";
remoteScript += "pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.shrink;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.NumCopies = 2;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.printerName = '\\\\hrhqzgw23prn01\\\hr300019ps';\n";
remoteScript += "doc.print(pp);\n";
remoteScript += "doc.closeDoc(true);";
acrobat.executeScript(remoteScript);
I would appreciate any help. thank you.

Hi Mark,
Here is a sample script. It exports the active InDesign document to pdf file, using its base name, to the root of C drive. Then opens the exported file in Acrobat, prints it to the default printer and silently closes it.
Tested on InDesign 5.0.3, Acrobat 8.0.0, Windows XP SP3.
#target indesign
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myBaseName = GetFileNameOnly(myIndesignDoc.name);
var myFile = new File( "/C/" + myBaseName + ".pdf" );
myIndesignDoc.exportFile( ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false );
var myScript = 'var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );';
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "acrobat";
bt.body = myScript;
bt.send();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
    var myString = "";
    var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
    if (myResult == -1) {
        myString = myFileName;
    else {
        myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
    return myString;
Short explanation of the acrobat script:
1. Open the pdf file, just exported from InDesign
var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );
2. To print the document silently I use the doc object’s print method and set the following parameters:
bUI -- Determines whether to present a user interface to the user
bSilent -- Suppresses the Cancel dialog box while the document is printed
myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );
3. Close the document without notifying the user:
myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );

Kasyan

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

Rave
