Unable to make Acrobat 8 (Professional) comments permanent

I have made several comments on an Acrobat PDF. Now I would like tell Acrobat 8 to save the file including making all the comments permanent, i.e. showing no comments but with the comments as part of the original document. Is this possible? I'm running Acrobat Professional on a Macintosh.

This forum is about problems with the forum itself. For Acrobat questions check out this link. http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

Unable to make Acrobat X the default handler/opener of PDF files on a Windows 8 laptop with Acrobat Reader also installed.

I have a user with a Windows 8 Sony Vaio laptop with Microsoft Office 2013 Professional, Acrobat X Standard, and Acrobat Reader installed. Another program on his system requires Acrobat Reader so we cannot just remove that and keep it off the system. Regardless of what he does to set the default program to open PDF files with, when he opens a PDF file it always opens it in Acrobat Reader and not Acrobat itself. We have re-associated it and set the default program handling repeatedly and have also tried complete uninstall and reinstall of both Acrobat and Acrobat Reader which had no effect on this. At this point I am of the opinion that this is a bug and the file association is being overridden somewhere in the registry besides the file association entries. Any help is appreciated.

The only supported way to set the default handler (besides the Wizard and cmd line properties) is via the UI at Edit > Preferences > General > Default PDF Handler. The installer has to be invoked and many registry entries get touched during the switching process.
You should also verify your dot versions of the product support Windows 8: Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes.
Finally, while you Acrobat 10 should work with Reader 11, try reverting to Reader 10 (that should be your last resort).

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

How do you make a link in a .pdf file? (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Dear Adobe Acrobat Forum,
I would like to add a link to my .pdf file.
Once clicked on, I would like the link to send the user to another place in the same .pdf file
or open a separate .pdf file.
I've tried to resolve this on my own by going to both Acrobat help section and the InDesign help section as well as Googling "Acrobat 8 link" or something similar.......but to no avail.
So, can you please tell me how I can add a link to a .pdf file?
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have been creating .pdf files using the File > Export feature in Adobe InDesign CS3 (for the Mac).
Thanks!

Have you tried in Acrobat 8 to:
Choose Link tool.
Then choose as shown on as on this Graphic
Then when clicking next you should be greeted with this:
Choose open a file or open a weblink depending upon what you want to do.
You try some of the other choices. once you select what to do save as a copy and try. If This one doesn't work try some of the other choices in the first graphic. other panes will open up similar to second graphic except there will be other choices.

Acrobat 8 Professional - Autocad - Adobe PDF options

I have Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2, Autocad 2008 and Acrobat 8 Professional Trial version.
when I am in Autocad and do a print to adobe pdf, I am always prompted for the filename and folder where the pdf file will be saved. the filename which is proposed always has the original dwg filename and also the layout name. the proposed folder is always the same as that of the previous pdf saved.
I have 2 questions about this:
1 - is there an option somewhere in acrobat 8 pro so as to permanently propose only to save with the dwg filename?
2 - is there an option somewhere in acrobat 8 pro so that the saving folder is the same as that of the dwg file?
Thanks,

Spectraflash...I'm trying to load the pdfmaker (adobe pro-8) tool bar in AutoCAD lt-08 I've tried to load them by adding pdfmaker.arx into my cui menus, is this what you're referring to as "start up suite"? I've tried every twist or turn I can think of to get them to load and be displayed but to no satisfaction. I would like to be able to plot to adobe with layers and several layout pages at once, very time consuming if I have to do each layout one at at time. Maybe (and I sure I am) missing something small, but if I have to call my IT department one more time to try and resolve this...well I would rather poke myself in the eye with a rusty screwdriver! They can't grasp the idea of "layers" and I'm to tired to go through it one more time. Anyway you can restate your comments above?

Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.

Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
Where is Adobe's accountability? They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

Error Message: Unable to load Acrobat Reader control

Error Message: Unable to load Acrobat Reader control. Please make sure it is correctly installed. The user I am dealing with has Adobe_Reader_9.4.4 & AdobeAcrobatStd911-L. Can you give me some assistance as to why she is unable to open her file.

That file only? And before version X, Adobe did not recommend having Acrobat and Reader installed in the same Win computer...

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.

Is there any way Acrobat 8 Professional will work on Windows 7, 64 bit?

Hello,
I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7 64bit. Acrobat 8 Professional doesn't seem to work with this setup. Is that true?
On install of CS3 the installer asked me for the adobePDF.dll, which after searching online for help I found the adobePDF.dll_64, which is supposed to be used to make Acrobat work. Unfortunatly it was unsuccessful for me. Everything installed fine but I can't open or edit a PDF. My windows is up to date.
Is there anything else I can try short of upgrading? $200 just to upgrade isn't something I'm interested in at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, even though it says Windows Vista only dispatch absolutely work for me Windows 7 64-bit.

Upon launching Acrobat 8.x, "Application" and "Getting started" appear on the desktop, and Acrobat becomes unresponsive, with a hang ranging from one to three minutes followed by either of the following errors:
• Windows7reg; dialog box indicating the application (Acrobat 8) is not responding after a certain time threshold
• Acrobat dialog box, "A serious error has detected and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot continue. Please re-install the application and try again."
So give it a try. Good luck

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?

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!!

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

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.

Error Deploying Adobe Acrobat X Professional over Standard

A while back I deployed a customized installation of Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard X to generate a MST file that omits things like speed launch and arm and disables some features in the help menu (like updates, repair, etc.) and deployed the MSI via Group Policy. Everything worked fine, Acrobat X Standard is now on every workstation. Later, we discovered that some users needed the 10.1.1 patch, so we patched some systems as necessary.
Due to decisions out of my control, management has now decided that they want to replace Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Professional on all workstations. Great! So I generate another MST with my trusty Customization Wizard and make sure to UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS. When I try to deploy the new package I get an error on each of the patched workstations...so I try to run the setup manually to discover the following error during the installation of Adobe Acrobat X Professional:
Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.
I'm no expert on Adobe, but I do know that management shelled out more money for Professional than they did for Standard and according to the website Pro is more "featured" than standard...so with all due respect, Adobe installer you are WRONG!
I don't want to touch each workstation to uninstall Adobe Acrobat X Standard so I can install Adobe Acrobat X Professional. Can someone please tell me how to get around this installer error please? Some registry key that needs deleting perhaps?
Many thanks in advance,
David Vielmetter

Well, you are attempting to uninstall the same code version of Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Pro. That won't work. You say that you purchased an upgrade from Acrobat X Standard to Acrobat X Pro that doesn't sound right either. If you decided to get Acrobat X Pro after already purchasing Acrobat X Standard the process should have been to get the full DVD media or the full ESD (electronic service download) from Adobe of Acrobat X Pro and then destroy or return the old software along with a very long legal form that says you are doing just that process. That's a procurement issue from both ends I would think. Needless to say the correct way would be to get the full media with the full serial number for Adobe Acrobat X Pro from Adobe. Then uninstall Acrobat X Standard from your user machines and then install the full media of Acrobat X Pro.
