Trial Acrobat X - not worth the pain

SO, IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT TRIALING ACROBAT X . . . DON'T! YOU'LL REGRET IT.
I use all parts of CS3. I saw the trial for Acrobat X and thought, "I'll give it a spin." Big mistake. Now Adobe popups are hounding me every minute or so with "buy it now??!!" messages. Annoying. So, I think I'll just go back to using my trusty Acrobat 8 Pro. NO CAN DO! Apparently, installing the trial has invalidated the license data on my system for the version 8. And, of course it was installed from a corporate license so I don't have the CDs or any idea of what the magic codes are. So, Adobe has maneuvered me into paying full retail (since I can't prove I have a license, I can't get the upgrade discount) to use software I've already paid for.
Sweet.
Man, Gimp, Nvu, et al are looking better and better . . . Adobe is definitely working itself out of a franchise. Any suggestions for open source solutions for PDF editing? I've got CutePDF and it works great. Just too limited in functionality.

Acrobat will uninstall any previous version - this is clearly indicated on the install dialogs, and if a user has lost the license key or media for a previous version, that's unfortunate but not the fault of Acrobat X.

Exported doc. not worth the trip

Exported pdf to Word file to edit. Document integrity is so poor now on doc. that it is almost worthless. This is a trial version, but not worth paying for this if I can't edit the exported files. This can' be the norm. Any ideas?

The quality of the resultant export depends a lot on the structure of the PDF and how it was produced. There are also options under the settings button when saving the file to give you some selections relative to the structure and other issues (format versus flow and such). The success depends a lot on the original PDF. Normally this is not a recommended workflow unless you have accidentally lost the original DOC(X) file. You should always keep originals.
If the PDF was created with tags and all, as when using PDF Maker in WORD, the reconstructed DOC file can be almost perfect. So a lot depends on the PDF.
If you have used the OCR process in the PDF, then the quality of the original scan and the pixel resolution is critical to the result, as is the selection of the built-in versus created fonts in the OCR process. I assume you are using AA XI since you mention trial. However, the version of OFFICE and the OS would also be useful information in helping you.

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

created by sukritd15 in Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs - View the full discussionHi Deborah , I would like to know couple of things before I assist you further.1.Which version of Acrobat are you using ?2.Is it happening for all the scanned PDF' or any particular PDF? You can try these steps,Launch the scanned PDF >right click >Document Properties(from the drop down list) >Fonts(on the dialog box)>From here you will get the fonts used in that PDF . While editing the PDF ,select the text that are editing or typing in with the help of selection tool .After you select the text ,right click on the text and choose "edit text" from the drop down list .From there you will be able to choose the desired font .

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

I want a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Change browsers. See what happens.
Be well...

Help please I can not openening because: Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the file while printing another document

Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document

Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

Update 10.2.1 is NOT worth the new features!

Upgraded to 10.2.1 yesterday and it's definitely NOT worth the new features for me. The phone runs MUCH slower and drains the battery MUCH faster. You'll need to turn off BlackBerry Link (in the settings menu) when not in use to keep from recharging your device every 5-6 hours. STAY AWAY!

Well,i read a few threads about people complaining and stuff.BUT I upgraded and restored data through PC.and in other threads Sanders said it might take a while for BlackBerry Link to finish syncing OTA.
Just be patient alright,Z10s are speed demons if you ask me

Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

Hi,
We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9. Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
Let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks!

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!
Regards.

Acrobat could not open the file because it is either not a support

Acrobat could not open the file because it is either not a support file type or because the file has been damaged?

What it means is what it says.
Where is the file from?
What makes you sure that Adobe Reader is the right program to open it?

My Droid Razr Maxx froze last night. It is not worth the money.

This is my 2nd Droid since June. The first I had for 2 weeks and the battery was draining in less than 24 hours. This one I got in the 3rd week of June. I bought it because I wanted a good phone camera - I rarely use data, it is used mainly for calls and texting . I DID send a pic to Facebook last weekend, and could not log out of Facebook. This might be the cause of following freezing, don't know). The screen started going crazy occasionally after having it a month. It does the same thing other people have posted - opens apps, opens text messages and types, has made calls, etc. It has also frozen. Last night it froze on me. I tried turning it off and the screen went blank. The battery was not low, but I plugged it in anyway - it didn't show that it was charging so I unplugged it and hoped it would be ok in the morning. Sometime in the night it beeped indicating I had a text. It did it again around 6:30 a.m.. When I got up, it still had the blank screen and the message light was flashing. I couldn't get a screen. I plugged it in to charge it and after app. 15 minutes my screen came up but it was still frozen. I've had two phone calls I couldn't answer. After app. an hour the screen went blank again, and the red circling image indicating it's turning on started and has now been running for about 30 minutes. I no longer have a land line and am going to have to drive 27 miles to a store to get it fixed when I need to be preparing for the coming hurricane. I'm posting this as additional evidence that something is wrong with these phones, and they are not worth the money.

When the RAZR/ RAZR MAXX freezes, you can hold down both the Power and the Volume Down button at the same time for about 7-10 seconds, until it flashes. This is what is called a "Soft Reset". You will not lose anything because of this reset. As far as your battery time, 24 hours between charges might be considered good. It all depends on what apps you have installed, the location and signal of the towers for coverage, etc. I take mine off the charger around 5:00 AM, and when I go to bed at 10:00 PM, I am usually between 30-60%, depending on my usage during the day.

An error exists on this page. acrobat may not display the page correctly.

While opening a pdf document it shows an error as "An error exists on this page. acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who has created this pdf to correct the problem". The pdf was made in 1.4 Adobe 5.x version. Any suggestions.

I suggest you contact the person who has created the PDF in order to fix the problem.

"An error exist on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
Any ideas how to get rid of this? Realistically its not practical to contact them, nor the other 1,000,000 web site owners whom host pdf's.
I really would like to disable the pop up only.
Seem to get it on quite a few PDF's. This web page seems to have quite a few that produce the problem.
http://www.2010.cannell.co.uk/manuals/manuals_porsche.html
click on the link to the pdf, scroll down a few pages and it pops up.
I do not get the error when using reader 10, only the new 11.0.0.1 version.

Hi Pat,
No problem withthe link you supplied.
This is one that has the problem "948 Cayenne Owners Manual - 2008 - Turbo" http://www.2010.cannell.co.uk/manuals/manuals_porsche.html
Just FYI, I look after 8000 clients, have the same problem on 3 of my test machines.
All windows 7, 64 bit IE9 fully patched.

Testing prior to upgrade from 10 to 11

Acrobat could not access the recognition service

I am getting the following error message when attempting to use the OCR function in Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3
Acrobat could not access the recognition service:
Unable to locate the Paper Capture recognition Service. Your installation may be corrupt.
This is probably due to either a low memory situation or an corrupt installation. If the problem is not cleared up by shutting down other applications and/or rebooting, then please re-install Acrobat.
It is certainly not a 'low memory situation'. It is not a 'corrupt user profile'. It was not fixed by uninstalling and re-installing.
Help...

Just to be sure, you are trying to use the OCR that is part of AA8 and not the OCR service that is an online service? I think the latter was setup for use with AA8 Std. What menus and selections are you making to get OCR?

Acrobat could not access the recognition service when OCRing

I am getting the error message "Acrobat could not access the recognition service because unable to locate the paper capture recognition service." I get this message when trying to OCR documents. I tried the fix for Acrobat 8 where you copy the drsd832.dll file and this still didn't work. I also tried turning the security (enhanced) settings to 'off' which also didn't work. I was wondering if any of you have encountered a similar problem and have found a solution. I am getting this problem in a networked corporate environment on multiple computers. It is also happening to files on the network rather than files on the local computers.

Not worth the trouble

With all the bugs and installation errors it is not worth the trouble to download until Adobe offers an new beta version.

What particular bugs and installation issues are you experiencing? If you could give specifics, please, including OS etc.then perhaps you can be helped.
