Track Changes Acrobat 9 Professional

In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, is it possible to track the change history of a PDF document?
We can not seem to be able to do this. Using Windows XP.
Thank you for any suggestions

Acrobat 9 Professional: changing the default save setting as version 5 and later

The situation: We are using Acrobat 9 Professional. We have PDF files with version that was save as 5.0 or later. (We need to save it as 5.0 because it allows our PDF publications to be shown on mobile devices that don't support newer versions).
The problem:
Sometimes we need to go back to our PDF to change the front cover. However after clicking on save, Acrobat 9 reverts it to the latest version making our publications unreadable for mobile devices.
Options we have considered:
Using the save as optimized feature. This is not convenient since the file is about 2000 pages and using that feature will require it to rastersize and flattend the image on every page. It takes too long.
I am currently, planning to go back to Acrobat 8 Professional, but user would like to keep both version.
The question: Is there another way to set Acrobat 9 to save PDF as the original version it was created (that at least doesn't take that much time)?
Thank you in advance!

I mark this as an assumed answer by mistake. Still looking for an answer. I do not wish to install two versions of Acrobat. (This will be my last resort, if I don't have any other options) I try it also with Acrobat X professional and it seems that it automatically saves it to a newer version. So any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?

Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.

Doesn't work
^ ^
Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
This is what the fellow is talking about. Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey.

MS Word Track Changes and Acrobat Merge into a Single PDF

I am using Word 2007 to create a group of about 50 files that are being collected with Acrobat 9 Standard Merge Files Into a Single PDF feature. I need to control whether the track changes in the word files are carried over to the PDF. Said another way, I want a singe PDF with the track changes showing and another PDF witht he track changes off. Currently, the track changes are being filtered out (accepted) in the merged document. Strangely, when printing a single document with track changes, the track changes show in the PDF.
I understand I could print each of my 50 files individually and then collect them with the merge feature, but I am hoping to take advantage of the automation.
How do I control the track changes printing / not printing?
Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the comment! If this is the best Acrobat can do, I will just have to lower my expectation.

Can Acrobat XI Pro track changes?

I need to edit a PDF file for a client. I'm about to order the Acrobat XI Pro, but I'm wondering if there is a tool/option similar to MS Word's "Track Changes" so that my work will be visible to the client.

No. Acrobat is not a text editor and has no such features as "Track
Changes".
You could run a Document Compare on both files, though. It will generate a
summary of the differences between the before and after versions...

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional w/ Windows 8.1

Previously I had Windows Vista Home Basic and everything ran smoothly with Acrobat. One thing that I loved was if I ran out of ink or could not print for some other reason, I had Adobe in the list of printers. Well Adobe is not showing up in the list of printers nor can I get it to show up there by trying several different things. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and my Windows system is now Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (though I’m starting to regret this). I’m seeing that 64 Bit is the problem but really? Is there no fix for this other than spending hundreds of dollars yet again? I’m beginning to think the computer and software is only for the very-very rich! Who can afford this stuff with its updates every year! They really know how to make a buck but what about the people who cannot afford to keep paying for these things? I know I could switch back but I did a clean install and in order to switch back, I’d have to find the Vista cd again (which I tried) or end up buying that again! Ugghh All I want is for the Adobe Acrobat to be available as a printer, the program itself works, just not what I guess Adobe is labeling as the “extras.” I have tried the below…but none of anything I have tried for the last three days has worked – not even talking to Adobe because they gave me the links to this forum and the online support – because their chat is for the rich who can purchase XI at 400-900 dollars! Please if anyone knows a solution to this that might help me?

Did the “Customization Wizard” but the other file (Transformer Tool) would not load install – received message “Acrobat Transforms Update did not find any valid installed Acrobat products or you do not have sufficient privileges to update registry.” Grrrrr
Installed PDFFilter64Setup.msi --- seemed to accept it but I’m not sure it changed a thing!

Keep in mind that AA8 is just about prior 64-bit and has not been updated to maintain currency with the newer OS and platforms. As a minimum, you need to do the updates to AA8. The updates are important for 64-bit systems. You may or may not get it to work. If it looks like it, please report what parts work and what parts fail. The links try to address the issues, but we need to know what works after you do the updates. Does Acrobat open (your note suggests it does) and appear to work? Does Distiller open and is it able to convert a PS file to a PDF (it can only operate on EPS and PS files)? Is there an Adobe PDF printer present? Can you print to the printer with print-to-file selected? Is AcroTray running in the background.
With a new system, new software is commonly required. In fact, Win 8.1 may have problems with old hardware like VISTA came on. I still run a Dell system with XP on it. Most things run fine (though I have to get rid of malware and such periodically). So you don't really have to update with every change, but you may be on your own with some things -- or depend on forums like this to try to help.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Document Compare (Revision Bars)

When comparing two documents using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, is it possible to generate revision bars in the margin in sections where text has changed (the documents in question would be text-only).
Thanks!

But the image is there when I click, it's just very small.

How to track changes between documents

We are trying to find ways to track/compare changes between two or more versions of an InDesign document. We need to be able to store these version changes in a master version tracking document. We know InDesign can track text changes in a story but we need to know more than that, like graphic or style changes. Is there a plugin out there that can compare two versions of an InDesign document and list/print out the differences? Acrobat has this feature but we haven't found this for InDesign. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I hesitated to post the plugins because my company is the publisher of one of them.
You will find them all at:
http://www.pluginsworld.com/
Search for BlackLining from EMS, CtrlChanges from Ctrl Publishing and EditMarks BlackLining from Kerntiff Publishing Systems.
We are responsible for EditMarks.
As I said we do not track changes to objects.
All the best.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - will not uninstall

I tried to install this program with Windows 7, 64-bit numerous times and it would not work 100%. I even downloaded the "patch" file for windows 7, but the program would freeze every single time I opened it. I have since reverted back to just using Adobe reader, but CANNOT uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. The uninstall completely freezes about 60-65% of the way through, and I just end up closing it down. However, I cannot install any new software on my computer because the installer application keeps saying that another program is being installed (Adobe) when in actuallity it is NOT!
Pleeease provide any help as to how I can uninstall this program. The program is still listed when I got to the control panel and uninstall a program. I have tried Modify, Repair, & Remove all unsuccessfully. I have deleted all files from the C: drive except the "Resource" folder, which I keep getting Folder Access Denied and that I "require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder." Well, I am the administrator and the ONLY user on my computer, so I don't know what that is all about. I am beyond frustration with this, the microsoft forum told me to check here for assistance.

Hi meanwire,
I had a similar problem .
Here is the solution that worled for me. try it out:
1. Install Acrobat 8.0 (which i think you have already done)
2. Now go to the following link and download Acrobat 8.1 update
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3662
3. Apply the downloaded 8.1 update manually
4. Once the manual update is successful launch Acrobat and do Acrobat menu Help ->Check for updates
Hope it works for you!!

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

Hi
So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

I need help adobe acrobat 9 professional

I have a PDF File on Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, I need to EDIT current text, DELETE current text, ADD text, make FILLABLE and SAVE this changes, which would it be faster, just start all over or go thru all changes?

This is the Reader forum; the Acrobat one is here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat
In any case, any major edition in a PDF file is best done in the original file (the one from which the PDF was produced), creating a new PDF when finished.

How can i edit text on a pdf document on acrobat i professional

can anyone please help me, I've got acrobat 8 professional and i'm trying to edit text, can i do it and how can I do it?

You wrote: I have tried creating the background image as a pdf . . .
The whole thing is already a PDF.
What application are you using to try and make changes?
Are you now using InDesign to recreate the gift voucher?
Or are you opening the Photoshop PDF and trying to resize the live text layers?
There shouldn't be any issue with making 120 pt text. I just created a 250 pt text layer in PS as a test.
Have you enlarged the text box? If the text box isn't that big. making the text larger make cause it to overset and no longer be visible.
Grab the corner of the text box and drag it to enlarge it.
If things aren't working correctly, it would be faster to recreate the gift voucher in InDesign.
You mentioned having the background image, just add the text are you are ready to print.
After rereading your last post it is unclear who will be adding the text for the money amount.
Are you adding this yourself before printing, or are you hoping to give a PDF to the client where he can add/change the money amount?
Things like this need to be mentioned upfront.

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software. I use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 to assist me when I add comments to a PDF. I also use it when making additions or changes to text. When I use the two software programs together, Acrobat constantly crashes. If it doesn't crash, an error occurs trying to save the file. I entered 988 comments into a 158-pg PDF, only to find the file was corrupted and couldn't be printed. I also could not see the list of comments (click Show Comments).
These problems do not occur if I don't use both products simultaneously.

Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr. Give the
modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
project. Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
timeline to replace the clip instance.
If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
the same thing.
This important rule applies in Encore as well.

Slow print from Acrobat X Professional to RICOH Aficio 2018D RPCS printer

Hello.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Our network printer, RICOH Aficio 2018D RPCS, takes 20 seconds to print each sheet from a PDF document generated by Acrobat X.
It seems the printer considers each sheet as a new document so starts the whole process of warming and so on.
These PDF documents were previously created by Adobe Acrobat X Professional (version 10.0.1), from scanned documents by BROTHER MFC-9840CDW Printer (also network printer), with a laptop running under Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
(All legal software, licensed.)
The PDF documents have about 4MB & 140 pages each one.
We tried to fix the problem by changing all these parameters:
- saving file as "Reduced Size PDF",
- saving file as "Optimized PDF",
- saving file as "PDF/A",
- saving file as "PostScript",
- printing as image,
- printing in low quality,
- opening and printing the document from Adobe Reader X (version 10.0.1),
but nothing works.
(Adobe Reader was not installed when troubles started. It's uninstalled now and troubles keep going on.)
The RICOH Technician also tried some updates, but troubles are still there.
He printed a PDF downloaded from Internet (similar size as ours) and the printer worked at normal speed!
We also can print the documents at normal speed in the BROTHER MFC-9840CDW Printer.
I really appreciate any suggestion
(Message in progress. Adobe Reader it's not the problem either.)

Thank you so much, GilliganBT
... but... I can´t find that option ("Render print jobs on client computers") in my Sharing tabs.
I just have "Do not share this printer" or "Share this printer".
Anyway, I´ll tell that to the printer repairman and I´ll let you know
