Unable to delete or combine pages in Acrobat Pro 9

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 and want to delete a page and then add a page to an existing pdf document that was created in Adobe 9 Pro to begin with. I have tried using the "pages" tab to create thumbnails and then highlight the page I want to remove and select "edit > delete" and this option is greyed out. The menu option at the top: "document > delete pages" is also greyed out. Then I tried creating a new duplicate pdf from scratch using Live Cycle Designer to import the existing text into a fresh document and then delete the page and the same problem is coming up and that isn't fixing this issue. How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
thanks,
Robert

Don't use LiveCycle Designer. Create your forms with Adobe Acrobat. Designer-created forms can't be modified in Acrobat.

How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

Batch Process crop page 2 - Acrobat Pro 9 crashes

Hi am trying to set up a Batch Sequence to crop 4 pages. (The crop for each page is different).
I can set up the first Command in the sequence to crop page 1 only. Then when I try to set up the next Command to crop page 2 Acrobat quits!
Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I type in a number in the first box of the page range the application quits. Good news though. If you have Acrobat 8 it appears to work okay. It also appears possible to copy the sequence from v8 and use it in v9. You just have to track down the "Sequences" folders for each version and copy the v8 sequence into the v9 folder. The folders are in the user Library folder, buried a few layers deep.
If v9 is all you have though, I think this workaround might do what you need. Since Acrobat doesn't remove any of the data when you crop and since you should be able to change the second number in the page range without the app quitting, you can try this:
• Have your first command crop pages 1-4 using the margins you want for page 4
• Have your second command crop pages 1-3 using the margins you want for page 3
• Have your third command crop pages 1-2 using the margins you want for page 2
• Have your fourth command crop pages 1-1 using the margins you want for page 1
That should leave each page with the correct crop. Just remember not to try changing the first number in the page range.

Combining files in Acrobat Pro X

I've been obliged to upgrade my Acrobat Pro 8.1.0 to Acrobat Pro X because of a switch to Windows 7 (conversion of non PDFs would not work). One of my most used facilities was to put multiple files into a PDF Package such that each file could be identified and opened via a thumbnail. In general, the combined file size was smaller than the sum of the constituents. The only equivalent I've (yet) found in Acrobat X is the PDF Portfolio facility which is fine but gives a combined file size massively greater than the sum of the constituents. As my primary aim is to minimise file size for emailing, is there an alternative equivalent to the PDF Package my former Acrobat version which still shows 'on top' all the contained files?

Did you updates X or have 10.0.0? The updates are required for use with OFFICE 2010.

Having trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat Pro

I m using acrobat pro. I recently started having some trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat. When i am printing a regular (non-scanned) page, it works just fine. If i m printing a scanned page, the print is completely distorted. I don't even know how to describe this condition, so I don't really know how to google it.
If i remember correctly, I made some changes to the printing options. I can't exactly recall what was it, but it was something trivial (like printing all text to black or something)
So i have attached the print of a scanned document. It's just the print quality that's different.
Thanks for help.

After installation it says unable to validate this serial number for Acrobat Pro XI. Why? What do I do?

I received my serial number online and went through the installation process. After it was successfully installed I wend to open Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and followed the prompt to enter my serial number and then received this error message "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Please Contact Customer Support."
I've read several FAQ and troubleshooting discussions but none have touched specifically on this.
I would have called customer support but did not see a number to call.
Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what I can do to resolve the issue?

White pages in Acrobat Pro

Coloured InDesign pages saved as PDF turn out to be white in Acrobat Pro? Only on MAC PRO OSX10.7.5. - Adobe CC

So does that mean you've tried them on other machines using Reader? If not, try it to see if they still look like that. Could be something to do with the way they wre created or exported from InDesign.

Unable to delete a blank page

I'm using Livecycle Designer ES2 version 9. I have a 14 page form, most of it set to Flow. Somehow there's an extra blank page (pg. #10) that I cannot do anything with: if i add an object it puts it on the last page (14) and I'm unable to move it back onto page 10. I can't delete it b/c it says it's a Master Page, of which there is only one. When clicking on the page, it takes me to "Master Page > Page1" in the heirarchy.
I have no idea what I did to make it appear. Short of having to start the form over from scratch, not my ideal solution, I'm at a loss.
It's probably something stupid on my part which then hopefully means it's an easy fix!

Did you ever get an answer on this question? I am having the same problem and it is driving me crazy!

Unable to delete anything on page/form

Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with deleting objects from my form in application developer mode and in multi row deletes in form mode.
I am able to add and amend objects such as buttons to the form etc but when I try and delete, nothing happens.
In application developer, in other apps I have created if I create a button and then delete I am prompted with the usual "are you sure you want to delete" which I guess is done through Javascript?? When I try and delete an object from my current application, nothing happens. The prompt doesn't come up and the object is not deleted (in app developer) or the data is not deleted in the form.
I think I am missing a piece of javascript in the application processes or somewhere like that but when I have looked in my other apps that work, I haven't been able to find what is missing.
Thanks

I must first state that I am not very conversant with 2.2.
Take a look at the URL in the MultiRow Delete button. It will be something like this code that I picked up from 3.2
javascript:confirmDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE');This code calls the ConfirmDelete function in one of Apex supplied .js files. This javascript function always ends with a doSumbit('DELETE'); which causes the page to be submitted with DELETE as the REQUEST. The ApplyMRD or Automatic Row Processing process is triggered using the Request = DELETE.
If none of this is happening then possibly a js file is not being loaded, either because you customized the template omitting it , its not in the i/javascript folder or some such reason.
Regards,

Change in page extraction - Acrobat Pro XI

The means to extract pages has changed recently. It no longer appears under tools. Now it is located over the page thumbnails. Can you give me information on when this changed? Was there an automatide update that caused this? I am using another software that uses Acrobat extensively and it is having problems reading files I extract. Last week (Mar 9, 2015) it was working fine. This week (Mar 16, 2015) it is not. Any ideas?

Hi, Anubha,
Thank you for your reply. I will admit that I am a complete novice at this point.
I have pdf files of a parts manual. They include graphics and tables. I need to convert these files to Excel. I do this on a regular basis. Sometimes Acrobat works like clock work, but this file is proving to be an ugly exception.
I have not been able to get an acceptable result from Acrobat XI. I can understand it not being able to translate diagrams to Excel, but the tables are coming in as jibberish. For example, a list of part numbers will show up in one cell from one table and then be nicely one part number per cell on the next. Then sometimes part numbers show up in one column and then another on the next table. Table headers and various combinations of cells are merging across 2 or 3 cells. Sometimes the information shows up all in one column. And my personal favorite, information shows up as some sort of sanscrit from 400 BC.
Since I am converting manuals with 1200 pages, this is very annoying. I have also tried breaking up the files into smaller 50-100 page increments with no improvement.
This has led me to look to other software. The other software was working like a champ the first week, but then it started to fail this week. I had noticed that my Acrobat XI had changed the way I navigated to extract files and wondered if it had updated. My thought was that there was some sort of incompatability between the updated Acrobat and the other software. After much more investigation, the problem seems to lay in the other software.
I am getting quite desparate at this point. I still have 200 pages to do on this particular book and dread having to drop down to typing in tables by hand.
If you would be willing to work with me to try to get Acrobat to work, I would be appreciative.

How to delete the Digital ID from Acrobat Pro 9 Extended?

Hi, please help me
I want delete the Digital ID
when I open the menu "Advanced"----"Security Settings"
in the dialoge I chose Digital IDs, then Windows Digital IDs
there is a list and I can see many iterms of digital IDs
I want delete each of that
when I chose one of them and click the button "Remove ID"
the softeware tell me that "Removing a digital ID is only permitted if the ID was created by Adobe reader or acrobat version 8.0 or later "
what should I do ?

Hi Koalar2010why,
I know it's been a long time since you posted your question, but if you are still interested here is what you need to do.
Launch Internet Explorer
Select Tools > Internet Options (you can get to Tools either from the menu, the toolbar button or Alt+X)
Select the Content tab on the Internet Options dialog
Click the Certificates button in the middle of the Contents panel
Select the Personal tab on the Certificates dialog (it's usually selected by default)
--Before continuing I'd recommend exporting the digital IDs to a file in case you ever need to get an old one back again)--
Highlight one or more digital ID(s) and then click the Remove button
The next time you launch Acrobat and go back to the Security Settings dialog the digital IDs will be gone.

Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)

Is it possible to make a single form page, with several text fields, a few drop-down menus, that will duplicate itself into a new page when a button at the bottom of the page is pushed?
If this is possible, is it also possible to have any fields, drop downs, or buttons, change their name automatically as each new page is created so that there are no conflicts of having multiple form items with the same name?
For example; Page 1 has a button, "Date1", that when pressed, will insert the current date into field "DateField1". I press another button, a new page is created which is an exact duplicate of page 1 (with all fields blank) and now, on page 2, there is a button, "Date2", that will insert the current date in "DateField2".
If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thank you very much for any help you can proivide,
Nathan

Have you looked at the documentation for the template object and the spawn method. You set the 'rename' parameter to 'true' and the spawning method will rename the fields in the template to be prefixed with "P#.templateName." where "#" is the zero based page number of the spawned template and "templateName" is the name of template that was spawned.
A Lesson in Templates for Adobe Acrobat by Dave Wraight.
When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template.
Thanks, but I've already gotten past this point. The issue I am having now is getting the javascript for the button to automatically append the page prefix to itself so that the button works on that page, not the page it was duplicated from.

Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page. In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu. In XI it produces a blank page. The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document. She only wants the added text to print.

Thanks to all who commented here. I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text. As everyone responded here, that's as designed. However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X. I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu. Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page. And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.
