Undo Snapshot Tool

How do I undo Snapshot Tool selection?  It repeats my last choice.

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately, I don't see this as an option, is there a preferences setting in Adobe or in a printer setup that would have to be enabled to get this selection?  In the Page Handling, Page Scaling section, my only choices are, None, Fit to Printable Area and Shrink to Printable Area.  Am I looking in the correct settings?  Also note, I did download the latest Acrobat Reader this morning Ver 9.

  • Snapshot Tool - Printing Questions

    I am looking for help using the snapshot tool and printing from a large size page. Specifically, I get .pdf drawings that are 24X36" (or larger) and since I don't have a large printer at home, like poster or blue print size, I am using the snapshot tool to span a couple of pages on to 8.5 X 11.  After selecting and printing, I tape the printed pages together.  I am able to select the area I want to print, from the Print pop up window, I use Print Range and select the radio button for Selected Graphic, the problem is, every time I use the snap shot select tool, the selected area is never the same % size, therefore when I try to tape the two sides together, the lines don't line up well because each select of say the left and then the right side of the page are at a different % selection.  Does anyone have a solution, work around or know of a setting that will lock the selection to accomplish this?

  • Pdf  WEB PAGES  -  MISSING SNAPSHOT TOOL (and others)

    I recently installed Adobe reader 9 and this has been a severely retrograde move. My university course makes ALL our lecture notes and documents avaialble OVER OUR INTRANET (i.e. as WEB PAGES) as pdf documents - we used to be able to simply click on the link and view them in a webpage, then use the Adobe snapshot tool whenever necessary to extract pictures or text from the notes (which often have ENORMOUS variations in font size and picture resolution WITHIN the ONE DOCUMENT) and paste them into a temporary document in order to blow them up and print them out so we can SEE them. They also often needed to be ROTATED before they could be printed out.
    Now however, the Adobe reader 9, when we view these documents IN A WEB PAGE, has NO tools that allow us to do these VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES to make our lecture notes READABLE. All it allows us to do is to print it as it is!
    In an incredibly demanding and intensive course, we now have to WASTE TIME we can ILL AFFORD by saving the document (which we DON'T WANT or NEED TO SAVE) and THEN OPEN it, use the tools which suddenly appear in Adobe reader 9 when opening a saved document, do what we need to do to print out something readable, then remember to delete what we've saved.
    This we have to do OVER and OVER AGAIN - it is UNELIEVABLY INCONSIDERATE and ANNOYING.
    We are already under HUGE pressure in our course, and students in the REAL WORLD do NOT have rich American mummies and daddies who pay all our expenses - we CANT AFFORD to buy every new expensive Adobe program just because our university decides to use pdf for everything.
    If anyone has information that there IS a way to do snapshots, rotation etc on a pdf document VIEWED IN A WEB PAGE, could you please advise us here? Thankyou!

    Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

  • Snapshot tool in Adober reader

    I have copied a few pictures using snapshot tools from adobe reader and pasted in word. I sent the file to a friend using windows but he cant see the pictures. Apparently the pictures are not pasting as jpeg. Can someone help me rectifying this. I need to send him the pictures for a class project.

    I've never worked with adobe reader so I don't know what exact format you pasted, and if the following might work or not. Try copy the image, then open preview, go to File > New from clipboard. If this works, then you can save it as any format preview supports (e.g. jpg). If that menu is grey-ed out, then preview doesn't recognize it... Maybe you can try use cmd-shift-4 to grab a screenshot instead.

  • Snapshot tool?

    where did the snap shot tool go in windows 8? Every other version I've used has this!

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) does not offer the Snapshot tool.
    If your operating system is Windows 8 (as opposed to Windows RT), you can install Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) and use the Snapshot tool.

  • Snapshot tool problem

    I downloaded an ebook, using Adobe Reader (version 7.0.9) to read. I want to copy and paste some quotes, (claims I can using snapshot tool). I notice the snapshot tool in the toolbar but it is not available (not bark, it's faded but visible). I can't click on it but everything (under Help) says I should be able to.
    I'm using Mac OS 10.3.9
    Adobe Reader 7.0.9

    >everything (under Help) says I should be able to.
    Unless of course the the creator of the ebook has added security that prevents copy/pasting.
    Check File>Document Properties>Security.

  • Acrobat X De-select snapshot tool

    Hi,
    Could anybody tell me how to *stop* taking snapshots once the snapshot tool has been selected? Once I click it, how do I go back to the standard paragraph selecting tool?
    Apologies if this is obvious...
    Thanks.

    I found a better answer on a slightly older forum post here> http://forums.adobe.com/message/3873437#3873437
    I had 1st found your post and used your solution so thanks for that. For others who find this post 1st here is the answer from Dave Merchant
    To drop out of Snapshot and back to the default (multi-select) mode, just press ESC.
    The same keypress will drop out of Loupe mode, but the dialog will stay open and persists on the last view - this is intentional so you can drop out and make an edit or select/copy something without breaking your workflow. Re-selecting the Loupe tool carries on wherever you left off.

  • Adobe reader snapshot tool

    hallo
    i am pretty sure that once i could use the snapshot tool to copy vector format into the clipboard (emf, wmf) when i had vector information in the pdf file.
    now with acrobat reader X i always end up with pixels. i found the option to increase resolution, but metafile content would be much more helpful.
    is that right or what else can i do to regain vectors for my pasting in powerpoint or other office documents.
    thanks

  • Access Snapshot tool in VB

    I have few questions.
    1st. Is there a program that can copy a pdf and paste it to document, that is automated, I know the snapshot tool exists and I can use that but I have roughly 3000 pdfs with 40 to 100 pages each I need to copy to add to my reports.
    2nd. If a program doesn't exist then how do I access the Snapshot tool so I can copy the page and paste it into word? I managed to open both the word doc and pdf, but I can't figure out how to access the snapshot tool.
    Thanks

    If you had Acrobat you could extract all the pages from each of the files into single page files. If you had a decent DTP program for creating your report, then you could import each page as a separate file with no loss of fidelity. Word on the Mac supports pdf files as graphics, older versions of Word on Windows did not. I am unsure if the latest and greatest version of Word allows the import of pdfs as graphics.
    I would not suggest using the snapshot tool since the quality of the graphic would be greatly reduced. If you owned Acrobat you could export the pdf file as a graphic (tiff, png, or jpg) and import those files into Word for Windows, but again the quality of the images would be reduced.

  • Using the snapshot tool in V7

    Hi I'm using Acrobat V7 in Windows. I've created a text document in word which is lengthy, converted it to pdf and now want to save each page as a pdf file. When I use the snapshot tool I lose resolution or quality. Is there a way that I can change the default resolution of the snapshot tool?

    Change your screen resolution.
    Better way: In Acrobat use the menu Document > Extract Pages...

  • When I use the "snapshot tool" some images are very light. how can I adjust the brightness....

    I have windows 7 and Acrobat X Pro.
    When I use the snapshot tool I cannot figure out how to adjust the brightness on that image? On my old computer a picture tollbar would pop up. A lot of images are very light and I need to darken them.

    My not be much you can do. However, I would just clip them into my favorite image tool (in my case IrfanView) and adjust there.

  • How do I use snapshot tool on Surface 2 (RT)

    I have begun to use my Surface 2 (RT) to put together my powerpoint presentations for work.  I am constantly using PDF files and using adobe snapshot tool to cut and paste pictures and charts from the PDF files.  On the surface, the only adobe version is the Reader Plus.  I have not figured out a way to use the snapshot tool and there is likely not one.  I am hoping this will be added in the future.  If anyone knows a work around then please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Plugin with similar functionality to snapshot tool

    I would like to develop a plugin with functionality similar to the Acrobat snapshot tool. I'd like to provide a method for the user to select a rectangular region, and capture an image of that region to the clipboard, which is exactly what the snapshot tool does (I also want to add some features not provided by the snapshot tool once this is working). I've reviewed the SDK samples, and I'm not sure how to get started. Is this a special case of a Selection Server? Which API methods allow me to get the image of the rectangular selection, rather than iterating through PDF elements contained within?
    Thanks!

    Hi Leonard,
    Thanks for the quick reply! Let me break down the areas I'm still unclear on into a couple of questions:
    (1) What is the best way to allow the user to draw a rectangular selection? Are there some callback functions I should implement to allow the user to click and drag a marquee, or do I have to handle the code to draw the rectangle myself? I'm wondering, for example, if I need to implement the drawing code as part of a custom AVTool DoClickProcType callback, or if there is a better, built in way to get a rectangular area that a user has drawn (given that this operation is common to many tools).
    (2) Once I have the rectangular selection coordinates from #1 above, how do I render it to an offscreen bitmap as you suggested? Is there a function in the API that allows me to do this?
    Thanks again!

  • Acrobat Reader - Use Fixed Resolution for Snapshot tool images setting

    Hello,
    We're currently running Acrobat Reader 9.x on our production Windows Vista SP2 Enterprise image and we're running Acrobat Reader X on our development Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit image.  I'm curious if there's a registry setting that sets the "Use fixed Resolution for Snapshop tool images" from 72dpi to 300 dpi. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    The per user settings are held in the following registry location:
    HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Selection
    There is a hexadecimal value named iSnapshotResolution which contains the resolution for the Snapshot Tool. Also a parameter called bUseFixedSnapshotResolution which needs to be set to 1 to switch the feature on or 0 to disable the feature.
    This is a per user setting but I believe Reader checks the per machine location
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 10.0\Selection
    Presumably you can put the same values into the HKLM section (it doesn't exist by default) so you will need to create the Selection key.
    Hope this makes sense.
