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.

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader. I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks. Error message says "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open printer connection . . . " This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above. I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat! What's going on? Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

I can't read the text in my Acrobat pro fill forms fields

I used to be able to render text with my acrobat pro, now the function is missing. I can't read what people put in the fields I create in my forms if they don't fill it out with acrobat when they email them back. This didn't used to be the case. One month ago I could render the text. I had help from a tech at Adobe about a year ago on this and he changed my acrobat somehow so now I can't update it because it's been "modified". How can I make my text visible? Thanks!

Creating an editable text field in Acrobat Pro 9.5

I create editing tests for applicants to my company. Previously I used Word, but I want to these tests to be pdfs moving forward because when I use Word there are various ways the test takwers can cheat. For most of the sections of the tests I can use various Acrobat form fields, radio buttons, etc. But there is one section that is typically a 700-word text sample that the test taker is required to edit. Would I be able to insert this much text in a text field so that it is editable? I want to limit the test taker's ability to refomat the document, which is another reason I want these to be pdfs.
I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5.
I'd appreciate any suggestions from users.
Thanks.

You can enter as much text as you want into a text field. Just need to
leave enough place for it on the page and make sure to set it as multi-line.
Regarding limiting the ways the document can be edited: Are the test takers
going to be using Reader or Acrobat? If the former, there's no problem.
They can't do anything except fill in the files and save the file (if you
enable that) or print it or submit it back to you.
If they are using Acrobat, or have access to it, then you should password
protect the file to prevent it from being edited in undesired ways.

Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

PDF file displays different number of text blocks in Acrobat Pro CC 2014 and CS6 versions

Hi,
I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat Pro used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
As viewed in CC 2014:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
As viewed in CS 6:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks.
David

First of all, there is no such thing as Acrobat CS6 or Acrobat CC 2014. We assume you are referring to Acrobat X and Acrobat XI respectively.
Secondly, how are you determining how many text blocks are in the PDF file? By use of the text touchup/edit function in Acrobat? If so, how this edit function displays text doesn't necessarily correspond to the actually underlying text fragments in the PDF file. In fact, sometimes it combines fragments based on heuristics. Those heuristics have varied with different version of Acrobat.
PDF as a file format doesn't know the context of the graphical objects such as text. There is no concept of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a column, etc. in terms of text. Runs of text are context-insensitive. You will get “breaks” when switching between regular and italics or when unusual paragraph justification is involved.
Is the actual problem in trying to edit the text or something else?
If you post a file, and indicate what text we should look at, we can confirm what is actually going on in your file.

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?

Can't paste text anymore from Acrobat Pro to Indesign CS3

Since upgrading to Acrobat Pro, I can't copy and paste text into Indesign CS3 or 4 which is included in pdfs as NOTES. I can, however, copy and paste the regular content in the Acrobat document. After I copy the text from the notes, I go to paste it into Indesign and all I get is a blinking cursor. I can copy and paste from Acrobat 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen no solutions to this issue thus far. I will post my solutions to this issue here and on the other thread I found with the same problem.
Here's how I resolved the issue. In InDesign under Preferences go to:
Clipboard Handling>"When Pasting Text and Tables from Other Applications"/Paste: (and choose the "all information" option)
If you have the "Text Only" option selected, this might be the issue. After checking "All Information" my issue was resolved.

Outlook Quick Print no longer works with Acrobat Pro v11

Hi All,
Prior to installing Acrobat Pro v11 on a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) we were able to use the Quick Print function for attachments within Outlook (Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit), although the default printer was physical printer the application would always open with Acrobat Pro even after disabling it as a default application. Upon uninstalling Acrobat Pro v11 the issue no longer occurs and the quick print fuction has been restored to normal.
If there is a known technical solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

rgrosz789, thank you for your suggestion.
Your code worked but caused run time error at the following line as below.
Sub Test()
    'Dim app As CAcroApp
    Dim app As Object
    Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    app.Show 'Raises run time error
End Sub
I finally uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9, reinstalled it, then, my original program worked fine.
Something must have gone wrong in Acrobat 9 :-)

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

How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
Don't use LiveCycle Designer. Create your forms with Adobe Acrobat. Designer-created forms can't be modified in Acrobat.

I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

Print to a PDF in Acrobat Pro XI Mac

I have a specific workflow where I want to print the current view of a pdf file (typically a zoomed in view of a 30"x42" architectural sheet) to a pdf file (typically an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet). I've never had a problem with this workflow when using the windows version of acrobat pro, however with Acrobat Pro XI on the mac (10.8.5) I get this error:
Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
when I select either "Save as PDF" or "Save as Adobe PDF" in the printer dialog box. My current workaround is to physically print the current view and then scan it back in and save it as a PDF. Is there a better way? What am I missing?

Generally works fine for me. However, it may be that the HTML is secure and that creates issues for Acrobat. You did not mention your version of Acrobat or OS. One suggesting in case you are seeing a bug on your system is to be sure you have updated Acrobat (should be able to do that from the help menu).
