Signatures created in Acrobat X, using Acrobat reader

I've created a form in Acrobat X with no security and all of the restrictions allowed and saved the document as a "reader extended PDF", "enable forms fill-in & save in adobe reader", but when I open it in reader, it won't allow me to do signatures. In reader, when I check "Document Properties" it shows signing not allowed. If I open the document in Acrobat X, I can sign no problem. Help.

There are so many things wrong, around a tiny grain of truth, it really isn't worth examining. Not at this stage if you are more interested in getting things working. It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.
Ok, Reader doesn't launch. Suppose you start Reader FIRST. Then use File > Open on your PDF.

Creating PDFs from Word using Acrobat 9

I am trying to create a PDF using the 'convert to acrobat PDF' button from Word 2003. My PDF settings are set to embed the fonts. The resulting PDF has gaps in the text (bits where there is no text and should be). I have also tried going to File, Print and select PDF printer and the same problem occurs. Each time I try different bits of text are missing.
If I untick embed all fonts there is no problem.
I was using Acrobat CS and have used Acrobat CS3 and not had this problem.
Any help appreciated.

If you use ctrl-D>fonts, are all the fonts embedded. If not, are any of them non-standard fonts. The problem is typical of issues with fonts that are not embedded, sometimes due to license restrictions.

Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date. When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash. The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll. HELP!

Here's a slightly better version.

Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

Hello all:
I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
Is there away to sign this electronically?
Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
Can I sign with a pen tool with in Adobe Reader 9?
Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
Thanks in advance!!

That depends.
Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
They are different things.

Unable to open pdf created with Acrobat Pro using Adobe Reader X

Files created with some Adobe Professional applications such as Acrobat Pro ensure the file is small by excluding font information from the file. Simple pdf creation applications embed the font in the file, which makes for transportability between apps but does make the files big.
The problem i have experienced is that Adobe Reader X is one of the simple app varieties, so is unable to open, print, or read files created using Adobe Acrobat Pro..
i'd welcome any help in (a) finding a free app that opens these 'pro pdf' files, OR (b) an option setting in Acrobat Pro which includes the font information in the file - or both!

It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.

Create PDF from Scanner using Acrobat X Pro

I am using trial Acrobat X Pro. When I attempt to Create PDF documents from Scanner using Epson Perfection 4490 Photo flat-bed scanner I get pop-up that states Epson cannot be started. This also occurs when I Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan > Scanner when I select Epson Perfection 4490 scanner. My scanner is turned on when I attempt to create PDF from scanner. I have no problem scanning documents and then creating PDF documents from file, but I would like to eliminate this step. Thanks in advance--any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is a tricky problems as hundreds have had the same problem. Research on the net demonstrated that no one had the solution. Some have even thrown perfectly good scanners away. The problem is most likely obtaining permission from Win 7 security. Don't bad mouth Adobe Acrobat or your scanner software. This solution will work and has been tested to work. You must be logged in as administrator. This will not help Mac User.
1. Find the file acroscanbroker.exe
2. Select properties
3. Select security tab
4. Select "users/*********
5. Edit settings
6. Full control Check box
7. Modify         Check box
8. Read and Execute    Check box
9. Read            Check box
10. Write           Check box
Your scanner should now work and any grayed out menus should come to life.

Then I used the .pfx file to encrypt a pdf using iTextSharp.

I intalled the .pfx file but the problem still remains.

Create certificate - makecert -r -pe -n "CN=My CA" -ss CA -sr CurrentUser -a sha1 -sky signature -sv MyCA.pvk MyCA.cer
Export to pfx - pvk2pfx -pvk MyCA.pvk -spc MyCA.cer -pfx MySPC.pfx -po <password>
Is it possible to create a pfx file using acrobat dll in C#??

Thanks in advance!

No, there are no APIs for working with certificates from C#.

How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac. The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear. I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up. Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

I know!!! This is so frustrating. I have attached the document.
Maybe you can try to type in it and see. I used the default font, but I
did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me! Thank you!

Using adobe reader SDK to search in PDF

Hi,
can someone please help me, iam trying to create a program (using c#) that displays a pdf, and searches for words inside the pdf file, the search iam programming is in arabic language (which is completely different than english).
i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
i saw something about the plugins and javascript, iam good at javascript, but did not now how to implement the javascript code in c# program.
by the way, is creating free programs that uses adobe reader as a COM object needs a license? or it is free to distribute?
Thanks very much.

>i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
I think that's right. Think of the SDK as primarily a marketing tool
for Acrobat and the position may be simpler to see.
>
>i saw something about the plugins and javascript, iam good at javascript, but did not now how to implement the javascript code in c# program.
You need Acrobat Professional to run JavaScript from an external
program.
You could write plug-ins but would need to obtain a special license to
write plug-ins for Adobe Reader; Acrobat is needed for development.
>
>by the way, is creating free programs that uses adobe reader as a COM object needs a license? or it is free to distribute?
Adobe Reader only offers the AxAcroPDF interface. You can freely
distribute code that uses this interface.
Note that I am not saying that you can freely distribute Adobe Reader:
there are some restrictions on this.

Create a Form in Acrobat Standard that can be filled out AND SIGNED using Free Reader

I am tasked with creating forms that can be read, filled out and signed and submitted electronically by users that have only the reader software. I am using Acrobat 5 standard. I have not yet found a way to successfully create a form field that would allow users to insert a signature of some sort. This signature does not have to be encrypted, or use the digital signature system Adobe Acrobat has where you create a profile, log in, etc. It could be as simple as the ability to insert a jpeg or other image of their handwritten signature. This is to avoid having to have them fill it out, and then print it and fax or scan it in. It would be great if they could fill it out and then just save it and email it. How would I do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks,
JOhn

With AA5, there is no capability to submit a signature - even electronic. You can create a form that can be filled out, signed in the sense of adding a name and date, and submit to a web site.
Insertion of images is not part of forms with AA5, but I think has become possible recently. Even so, they reader would also have to be compatible with the feature to be able to use it. If the typing of the name and the date would do, then you can add those fields - sort of the limit with AA5.
With AA5, they can not save the form with the data. They can submit the data as an FDF file to a web site. If you have control of the client machines, then you can consider e-mail since those issues can be worked out locally. Without control of the clients (like a general form on the web), don't bother with e-mail since there will always be some that have problems.

How to create saveable forms for Adobe Reader 6.0 using Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES (Acrobat Pro 9).
I only need to create a simple pdf form where the user enters data and saves the file with the data using Adobe Reader 6.
What are the steps to convert a Reader Extended PDF forms version 1.6 (Reader 7) to version 1.5 (Reader 6)?
Thanks
Bela

Any luck here? I have just a subset of your challenge, i.e., I want to get forms designed in Designer 8.2/Acrobat 9 to work in Reader 7.0.5
Thanks!

How do I create PDF so that user can insert a placed file using Acrobat Reader

I have just upgraded to CS4 which has Adobe Acrobat Pro. I am creating PDF's within Pro, adding text fields and buttons for customers to access and fill in using Adobe Reader. This has worked great but I would also like to add a box with text saying 'insert logo here' and when the customer clicks on it then searches their system for the logo, selects and places within the PDF. Can anyone help me on this one?
