Still No Answer About MDI/SDI for Acrobat 9?

This has been an issue for many people using Acrobat 9 that has been ignored by Adobe for more than a year now.
I have used every avenue I can find to ask for a solution or even an acknowledgement of the issue and the possibility of a fix to no avail.
I have made feature requests, posted comments on Shredding the Document, and posted in these forums.
Can anyone from Adobe give me an answer?
Will everyone else who is still pissed about this please keep this bumped to the top?
Thank you very much.

>Can anyone from Adobe give me an answer?
While an Adobe employee will sometimes post in an individual forum, this is NOT Adobe support, it is a place provided BY Adobe for users to try and help each other
I seriously doubt that you will get an answer here from Adobe

Question about editing text for Acrobat 9 pro...

I recently switched to Vista and Acrobat 9 pro and everytime I go to edit my PDF I use the "text touch-up" tool just like I should yet the tool just shifts and distorts the text without actually replacing or deleting any of the text. Has anyone encountered/know how to fix this problem? Thank You.

Such problems are not new with AA9. Editing has always been hit and miss. It may be that if you tried to edit one of the files you used to work on, things would work fine and it is simply the particular file at hand. I will not deny that there may be changes to the methods in AA9 that make things worse, but it never was great.

OLE Automation for Acrobat Reader

Hello guys
I have been reading some lines about OLE Automation for Acrobat READER and Full Acrobat.
So far I have seen most saying that Reader is not fully compliant with OLE. I really have zero experience with Adobe and before I buy a full acrobat license, I want to make sure of the following:
What I need to do is the next 4 simple calls:
Connect to Acrobat
Open a pdf file in invisible mode
Perform "Select All"
Copy Selection to clipboard
After that, I will importclipboard to my datawindow and I will be done for my programming task.
Have you had similar experiences about Acrobat OLE for PDF ?
some references are in help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp
Thanks so much in advance for any hint.
Regards

Hello again
Chris, thanks so much for your very quick response.
At a first glance, the PDF Toolkit looks good and with a good price too, but I did not see if I can call functionality from PowerBuilder code without opening a user interface. Are you familiar with this ?
Stuart, very nice approach for my need, but I apologize for not explaining clearly what I want.
I just want to process the content of some lines in the file to find specific strings.
As you may see, if you open the file with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat and go to the edit menu, by clicking "Select All" and "Copy" you will get the text ready for pasting.
I want to automate this process to prevent the users from opening the Adobe application.
I'm now testing with the functions provided by Adobe documentation to perform OLE Automation and ALMOST gave me what I need with the following code:
Documentation is found in
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?&accessible=true
// Start Code
boolean lb
oleobject luo_app, luo_file
luo_app = create oleobject
luo_app.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.app')
luo_file = create oleobject
luo_file.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.AvDoc')
luo_file.open('c:\some_file.pdf')
// Next three lines are for visual debugging and confirming that file is opening well during testing of code :=)
luo_file.show()
luo_file.bringtofront()
luo_file.setviewmode(1)
// Next two lines return FALSE, meaning they did not execute because the words "Select All" (or "SelectAll") and "Copy" are not the right words linked to the
// menu items
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Select All') // Neither "SelectAll"
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Copy')
// End of code
Everything works fine except the two lines. The Adobe application is open and the file shown, but when calling "Select All" and "Copy" in the function menuitemexecute, Adobe does not interpret these phrases.
Just to confirm that menuitemexecute has the right syntax, I tested a call for luo_app.menuitemexecute("find") and this command is well interpreted by Adobe, which immediately opens the find window at the right corner of the file
I hope not to be too dense with this explanation ( but maybe I was ) :=)
Thanks for your feedback

I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...

I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...
I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I have signed up for acrobat pro, why can't I edit my PDF? It is still asking me to upgrade to pro.

I have just signed up for a subscription for acrobat pro. Why is it still asking me to upgrade when I try to edit my PDF?

Especially, be sure you are USING Acrobat. Many people keep using the free Adobe Reader, which isn't changed.

What's new in these days?Seeking to persuade, Adobe still insist FP Development. Waiting for answer

Seeking to persuade, Adobe still insist FP Development. Waiting for answer on line.
I am an AS3 developer, deeply in love with it. Recently I was very disappointed with Adobe.
Fp11.8 seems update frequenctly, but nearly no change. New feathers is all the same every time, why? Unity 3d and Fusion Chart has said goodbay to Flash Player, Weather Adobe is also?

Not sure exactky what's your point, but FP has been gaining some pretty nice features. The GameInput API, for example, is awesome despite a couple of remaining bugs, and a few cool GPU-acceleration features and updates have been creeping in FP too. I'd assume the frequent updates are more due to stability, while point releases are the ones where you see new features. You may want to double-check the changelog to see what has been changed on every version.
Unity has said goodbye to Flash because it solved a problem that was virtually nonexistant, and Fusion Charts would do better with a more cross-platform solution (e.g. Canvas/SVG) considering their target audience. I don't think either have anything to do with Flash technology per se.

Is the 2010 answer about firesheep encryption boxes still valid? I'm using an online library catalog; no sign-in needed. I didn't have

I work at an extension campus for a community college and have never had this problem before when searching the college's library catalog. Every time I click to open a book record or see the next page in a list of books, this Security Warning box appears. That is a lot of unnecessary steps to delete this box every time.
joanie 11/16/10 6:02am is the answer I looked at for my problem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep
Firesheep was developed to display the possibility of a website having a secure login shift to a non-encrypted page and exposing the user to session hijacking vulnerabilities. IOW, using HTTPS for the login and then sending the user to regular HTTP pages afterwards
If you're not logging in to that website, I don't understand why Firesheep would raise an alert. IMO, that extension isn't needed any longer - the webmasters who care about their users would have fixed their website years ago, and the webmasters who don't care and haven't fixed it yet won't do anything at this late date. Nothing the user can do about websites that raise an alert like that, except to "know" to avoid those websites in the future.
You may want to ask your school's IT department about why you are getting that alert, and see what they say about it.

Hi, I have answered no to the question about saving password for one spesific site. I have changed my mind and would like Firefox to save the password. How do I reactivate the password saver for one spesific site?

Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

I need the proper settings for Acrobate Reader 9.3 to be backward compatable to open PDF 6.0.

I have a full license for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. I just got off the phone with Acrobat technical support about once you install Acrobat Reader 9 to read documents online using Internet Explorer and Firefox. That it would make documents that were scanned in with CapturePerfect3.0 and a Cannon document scanner using Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 saved in PDF format and stored as images with records stored with Access Database front-end and SQL Server backend. Simple 6.0 PDF documents stored scanned documents in a database. O.K.! The problem is once you upgrade to read newer version of Acrobat PDF documents that our staff must read online, it makes reading saved database 6.0 PDF documents unreadable. Technical support informs me that it is a settings fix in Acrobat Reader 9 but because the Acrobat Reader 9 is a free download that can't tell me how to fix the settings.
So here I am trying to find out the proper settings in Acrobat Reader 9 to read new Acrobat documents online and old 6.0 Acrobat PDF documents on Windows XP Pro workstations and one Windows 7 workstation of the CEO's assistant. So please help me with the proper setting for Acrobat Reader 9 to work online reading newer PDF documents and still read Acrobat 6.0 documents stored in a database.

Adobe Reader 9 can open old and new pdf files.

Macintosh Users: Beware the misleading advertising for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

b An important message to Macintosh users who are considering purchasing Acrobat 9:
I am writing to let you Mac users know that the current marketing for Acrobat Pro is very confusing.
On the page for Acrobat Pro,
https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/flex/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&storeclient=flex&nr=0&d istributionmethod=FULL&promoid=DHFBK&category=/Applications/AcrobatProExtended&view=ols_pr od
there is a very enticing sidebar that says "Consider Upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended"
It outlines all the cool things that Extended can do. I had seen some publicity for Extended and so I immediately clicked that button to find out more about this version. It is a very compelling product that has a presentation application, 3D capabilities, and the form creation product Live Cycle Designer.
I was very excited about this product, when I was lucky to have checked the System Requirements for this product. And was amazed to find that this product is Windows only!
It is one thing to shove the Mac market off to the side as Acrobat has in the past. For instance, in the past, Acrobat products have provided features for Windows that were missing on the Mac.
But the current advertising borders on misleading advertising. Rather than just hide the Windows -only features under the same name as the Macintosh product, Adobe has come out with a Windows-only product that doesn't clearly state it is Windows only!
To publicize a product on a page that is cross platform and then make it very hard to find out that the product is Windows only is terrible. And I guarantee that this will lead to many people ordering something they can not use. And will be very angry about!
I have written to several people I know at Adobe to complain about this.
I would suggest that others use the Adobe-feedback page:
http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi
to tell Adobe how this makes you feel.
Meanwhile, I'm glad that I won't have to shell out the extra money for this Windows-only product.

Acrobat 9 extended is just the new name for Acrobat 3D. Alas it has
always been Windows only. I agree that they could make it more obvious
that it is Windows only. I guess some in the Marketing department, may
not realize that anyone still uses a Mac ;-)

Need install iso for acrobat 9 pro extended

We have our key, but have lost our disc. Anyone have the ISO for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended? All that is listed on the website is the upgrade. We need the full version installer.
Thanks.

Some of the older products used to be at ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus, but apparently that has ended. If you know of someone local who has the product, you could probably just make a copy of the CD and use that. You will still need your S/N for the install. If you are installing on Win 8, then good luck if you can get a copy of the CD. AA 8 apparently does not work on Win 8 and I don't remember any comments about AA 9 on Win 8 either.

Missing User Manual for Acrobat 9.0

Along with my recent Design Premium upgrade, I ordered the Adobe CS4 Design Premium User Guide. And much to my surprise, it's complete documentation in separate books! Great!! I didn't know anyone still knew how to do that. So I get a pile of books about six inches high - and there's no manual for Acrobat. Completely missing from the CS4 group. What gives?
Logged a customer service query, after a couple of conversations with some CSRs, found out that Adobe doesn't supply a printed user manual along with all the other applications. Here's the excuse I was given: "The decision was made to not print the manual because we wanted to conserve on paper. Adobe is trying to encourage a paperless world, and our Acrobat product is an important part of that task. So we thought it was counter-productive to actually print the document." I am not making this up. Two of their CSRs stated the same thing, which makes me think that this is a "talking point" they've been given from someone in product marketing to cover the fact that someone screwed up and didn't get the books printed.
I finally got one of the CSRs to admit that, in fact, they actually did produce the manual - just like the others - and you can download it yourself. After a good bit of search, I finally found where it's located. In case you're looking for the same thing, here it is:
Download Help PDF( 27MB)
It's the full 519 pages of documentation that should have been published - just like all the others I bought. This is just an oversight by someone at Adobe, plain and simple. The CSR told me that I couldn't order the printed bound version. But something tells me this is probably not the case - Adobe's probably just behind in getting books like this one published.
If anyone knows another avenue to communicate with someone at Adobe who's better informed than the CSRs I spoke to earlier, please let me know. I actually have more faith in Adobe to do the right thing and make good on sending me the book that I've already, in essence, purchased from them. If they're behind, that's okay. We all make mistakes. But to give the lamest of excuses is intolerable. Insulting, to say the least.
And someone in their marketing department ought to know better.

Additionally you can get the same content by going to Help>Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Help... which takes you to the HTML help files in the product or you can go to the direct link on the web at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/index.html or via the Acrobat Community Help.

Replacement Program for Acrobat Pro 7

I have twice downloaded the replacement program for Acrobat Pro 7 but get an error message when I try to install it. The message asks me to verify that I have access to the directory. The only options are abort/retry/ignore, none of which allows me to proceed past a partial installation. Any suggestions?

You still need to log in as an administrator to install the software, unless there have been changes in Acrobat that I am not aware of. At one point, it had to be the actual Administrator account, not one with admin priv. I think that went away after that one version, but you should still have admin priv.
If you are trying to install AA7 (the one that allows separate activation process), you may still not be able to install it, particularly if you are talking about a 64-bit system. If it is 64-bits, then I have my doubts that AA7 will install at all, but you can try. If you succeed, with the installation, you will probably need to work on some workarounds to get things to operate. You may not get the Adobe PDF printer for instance. There are several things that you might be able to do for fixes in a sense on Win7, 32-bit. I have my doubts that they work on WIn7, 64-bit (I have not tried).
If you are indeed trying to install AA XI, then you can ignore my comments. Maybe I need to try on one of my 64-bit systems at work to see what I can get away with.

Security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2

I just installed the security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2 from this link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-15.html
After the update there is nothing to indicate that it is actually installed.
Going to Help About both Acrobat & Reader still shows Version 8.1.2 as before.
Is there a way to tell if the patch is installed?

My problem is same as Post #2
I have downloaded the security update and still see AcroRd32.exe as File version 8.1.0.137. I've done this on more than one machine running XP/SP2 with every Windows update applied except SP3. I have deleted Acrobat Reader via Control Panel and then for good measure deleted the sub-directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader manually.
I downloaded again, ran updates until I got "There are no updates available at this time."
I ran the security update as stated in the posts above(Post #16). This was verified via
Computer Management > System Tools > Event Viewer
Product: Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 (KB403742) -- Installation operation completed successfully.
There are 2 files in C:\Program File\Adobe\Security Update
HotFix64.exe and RdrSU.mst
I just don't see where AcroRd32.exe version 8.1.2.215 or whatever is supposed to come from?
I'm running this as Administrator and on 3 different machines each with the same result.
