Trying to perform text search in Adobe Acrobat XI web plugin.

As outlined in the Parameters for Opening PDF Files, a search can be submitted in the URL when launching in the browser plugin.  This works great in my testing on Acrobat 6 through X, but is not working on XI.
Is there a way to have search show in the Acrobat XI plugin?

I have been able to reproduce this behavior on several systems, and I can confirm it is Adobe Reader/Acrobat that is being used to view PDF files.
This can be replicated on machines with Acrobat XI and accessing the following URL: http://kosovo.ohchr.org/repository/docs/2_slo_sample.pdf#search="PDF"

  • Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

    If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

    Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

  • Error 1316  when trying to uninstall, repair or update Adobe Acrobat Reader

    I get error message 1316 when trying to update, repair or delete Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1 .
    The error message is:

    Googling seems to find others with similar problems, but no help on the Adobe Knowledge Base.
    Can anyone help?

  • Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.

    Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.
    The pdfs print fine though.

    Try doing a spotlight search for all files that start with AdobeFnt. They will be named AdobefntXX.lst, with the XX being some number. They will be scattered across the drive... After making sure that all Adobe applications are closed, trash all the adobefntxx.lst files, those with the 3 letter extension .lst.
    Then, restart the system, and open the files in Acrobat again.
    Otherwise, what happens in Safe boot? (Remember, Safe boot loads only a default set of fonts.) If they display fine there, the problem most likely is a font issue, one of the fonts that Adobe installed.
    Check Adobe's web support page for troubleshooting Fonts.
    - or -
    Contact Adobe about the whole issue, it is after all, Adobe Acrobat... Adobe's contact number is 800 833 6687.

  • Trying to instal trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    By mistake, I downloaded the trail version of regular Adobe Acrobat XI Pro not the student rate.  I tried to download the student trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is telling me that the same versin already exists. I ask to replace it, but give me an eroor again. how could I install the student trial version since I already paid for it and would like to use it immediately? 

    Hi Haregua,
    Would you mind providing more detail? You mention the 'Trial' version of Acrobat XI Pro. It is free for 30 days and does not ask you to pay anything unless you decide to after the end of 30 days.
    At the end of the trial period you are welcome to purchase the student version.
    Let me know if this helps!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i

    I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

    I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
    Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • Handle the "No matches were found." when doing a search in Adobe Acrobat PDF file.

    I have written an Excel spread sheet and using visual basic coding in my macro can open an as needed PDF file, search for a paragraph number as copied from the spread sheet, capture the page in the PDF file it is found on and paste the "pagefound" back into my Excel spreadsheet where desired. In some cases, however, Adobe Acrobat Professional XI reports back that "No matches were found."
    Is there any way to handle the display of this message using Visual Basic Coding so that I can set my pagefound field to 1 or -1 to tell me that the paragraph number does NOT exist in the file?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the quick reply. However, I am NOT trying suppress the message.  I am tying to handle the message.  In other words, I want the message to appear when required BUT I want to be able to try and CAPTURE the fact so that I can specify the page as being non-existent (such as entering a -1 for the page).  Is there any way in Adobe or VBA coding in Excel to recognize that the message is displaying but not stopping it, just recognizing that it is appearing and handle it?  Thanks in advance.

  • PDF Searching using Adobe Acrobat Plugin Find Function in Safari

    I currently incorporate the Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.1.2) plugin for viewing PDF files. I like using Safari for viewing PDFs within a web browser, but I find Safari's built-in Find function (open apple-F) inferior to Acrobat's ability to search for text within the PDF, as it never finds the words that I search for.
    My question is: Is there an efficient built-in shortcut within Safari to search text within a PDF using Adobe Acrobat's plugin Find function? If not, is there a relatively easy, keyboard-based shortcut that could be made to direct the Find function to the Adobe Acrobat plugin Find function within Safari?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

  • Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

    When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
    I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Jane

    Hi star2111,
    Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

    I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
    1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
    2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions

  • Continuous Text Edits in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro from version 9 and I'm running into an issue relating to commenting an editing a PDF. In version 9, you could simply select the "Text Edits" button and make continuous edits in a PDF (document created in InDesign) and then send those back. Now with version X, I can't seem to find a way to make continuous edits without having to select the tool over and over again for each individual edit. The "Replace (Ins)" icon works, but again, it takes twice as long. You have to now select the text and then select the "Replace (Ins)" icon and then type your change and then start all over again. Is there a way to enable text editing without having to go back and select the icon over and over again which reduces efficiency considerably?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Or, if I knew how to change defaults for add text box, that would wok just as well. Thanks
    for any help!
