Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,
Sara

I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

Editing PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard

I have just purchased adobe acrobat 11 standard after using adobe acrobat 7 for quite a while and I am having trouble finding certain features that I have used a lot in the past. Hopefully someone can give me guidance as to if the features i need were taken out since Adobe 7 or how I can find them in XI.
There is no tab available (“Document” tab) that gives you options to insert, extract, and other related type doc functions. Also, there was a tab of options in the old adobe to insert (and move around) - arrows, lines, ovals, rectangles, etc and also a typewriter function that allowed for easy movement in the document. In XI, there is an add text function but it is not very user friendly (hard to relocate typed data). In the old adobe I had (7), there was also an option to be able to rotate either an individual page or entire document and then save those view selections if you wanted to. Does this program not have these or am I just missing something. It just seems like there isn’t much I am able to do like with the other adobe…. Forgive my ignorance on these matters as there is probably something simple I am just not seeing there.

All this stuff moved under TOOLS. Except the stuff under COMMENT. For instance, insert pages is under the PAGES section of TOOLS. For some reason Adobe thought this would be easier for us all.

Can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X

can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X? I have tried from Windows Exploer (Windows XP) and it looks like the files are opening but they do not print.

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

Open PDF files with adobe acrobat

Greetings,
I need to open my PDF files in Adobe Acrobat NOT in Preview. How do I set my full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X for Mac to open all PDF files by clicking on the icon without having to choose adobe acrobat to open each time?
Thank you; these simple savings of time compounded over a year really add up.
Doug Kennedy

Select a PDF file and do a Get-Info (command-I) Where it says "Open with" select the drop down menu and then select Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Then select the box "Change All"
BTW, this bit is Mac 101. Get a good book on Mac OS.

Unable to open PDF files or Adobe Reader

I am unable to opern adobe reader or download a ner version of adobe reader.

Apparently the original software download was corrupt. I tried to
"change" it through the add and delete software area of Windows, and re-installed
the software. That seemed to work. Debating on whether to upgrade to one
of their other products. I could certainly use fillable forms, signature,
and modifiable documents.
Thank you for responding.

Unable to edit the forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and adobe pdf reader.

Hai ,
i am unable to edit pdf forms . on clicking on the form text field error message comes as "font capture" message heading and content as
"C:\Windows\system32/ATMLIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
if pressed ok . aplication get closed
i reinstalled all aplication with old versions but sill have the same error .please give a solution . thank you.

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

Inserting a barcode in a pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro

I have a PDF bookcover created for a printed book, but I'm having trouble inserted the barcode (a eps file , and pdf file ). How do I insert the barcode into the bookcover file in Adobe Acrobat? Please help!

Ok, I created an .eps file, and I'm afraid that I couldn't find a way to insert it into a .pdf; this means you must first convert the .eps file into another image file, e.g. .tiff, .jpeg, .png, or similar. You can do that with Acrobat, although it is easier with Photoshop.
1. Convert .eps file to .tiff file
open .eps file in Acrobat
File | Save as |
Save as type: TIFF (or PNG, or JPEG)
click Save
2. Insert .tiff file into .pdf
open .pdf file in Acrobat
click on Tools, then Content Editing
click Add Image
select the converted .tif file and click Open
the inserted image should become visible; move it to its destination location
see the below image for an ISBN barcode I have just inserted into an empty space of a back bookcover
If it is indeed an ISBN barcode image you need to insert, I highly recommend that you convert your .eps file to a high-quality image type like TIFF. JPEG images can get compressed and create a low-quality image. Low-quality barcodes on books can sometimes not be read by barcode scanners; therefore my recommendation to use a high-quality image.
Let me know if you have any further questions, or need clarification somewhere.

I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
If the form is publicly available, it may help if you include the URL (web address) when you post.

How Do I edit a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 7

Hello,
Here in the office we are currently using Adobe Acrobat 7. We want to be able to edit within the PDF. Does anyone know how to do this??

Hi DAVIDPC1,
Acrobat 7 Pro (at 7.1.0 and, at least, the dot release prior to 7.1.0) has the Typewriter tool.
Tools > Typewriter > Show Typewriter Toolbar.
A PDF containing page content that reflects a "form" (lines to add text, boxes to mark, etc.), while a "PDF", is not a "PDF Form".
This later critter will have form fields that you can complete. Can get rather fancy.
Old Acrobat Form methods are still possible with Acrobat but, in the last several Acrobat releases "LifeCycle Designer" has been bundled.
This permits one to create "dynamic" forms (uses a flavor of XML that is "wrapped" in PDF).
So when anyone talks to the topic of "PDF form(s)" listeners often think the topic is an Acrobat or LifeCycle form rather than PDF page content that reflects an electronic version of a static, paper form.
With that said, I think you are alluding to a PDF that is page content reflecting a paper form and has no form "fields" to facilitate filling out.
So, if your version of Acrobat 7 has "Typewriter" then this tool will be found under menu item "Tools".
It does surprise me that a fedgov form is not "fillable".
At http://www.forms.gov/bgfPortal/agencyList.do
the forms look to be PDFs with form fields or of the "eFile" type as found here

I cannot edit a PDF file. When I try it redirects me to payment screen and I have already paid for this! I would like to talk to someone per phone. You have easily taken my money and I would like support.

"Adobe dc program"???
Such does not exist; at least not from Adobe.
As has been asked - What, specifically, was subscribed to? It is identified on the receipt Adobe provides for each subscription account one opens.
