Update Header & Footer deletes footer in Acrobat Pro 9.2

I am using Acrobat Pro to add a header to a pdf document that was created from MS Word. This MS Word document has a footer but the header is blank. I can save the word document as a pdf using the Acrobat plugin and then add a header using Acrobat Pro so that now the pdf document has a header and footer. So far, so good.
Now, if I open the pdf document again and select Document -> Header & Footer -> Update   the header is preserved and can be edited but the footer is blank !!
I would expect to see both the header and footer present just as they were before I saved the pdf.
This effectively makes the Update function useless and looks to me like a bug.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Bernd, thanks for looking into this problem. It seems that I am not alone ! Unfortunately, Adobe don't have a good track record in responding to user alerts and that's assuming that the user can find a way to alert Adobe. At 500 UKP (about 800 USD), Acrobat Pro is an expensive product and really shouldn't have problems like this.

  • Shortcut key for deleting text in Acrobat Pro

    In previous versions of Acrobat Pro, I could highlight text and the delete key would strikethrough. Now in XI that doesn't seem to work.
    Is there a way to program that -- or any other shortcut key?

    Ha - found it! It's the little 'T' with a star at the end of the Annotations - once you select that & tick all the boxes, you can use delete to strikethrough text.

  • Accidental delete of Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi,
    I installed Acrobat Pro successfully, but it was accidentally deleted from my hard drive (without running the uninstaller). 
    I would like to re-install, however Adobe App Manager says the program is "up to date" — preventing any re-installation.
    What to do?  Please help, thanks.

  • Shrink image on PDF page to make room for header & footer

    I have an application that prints to pdf with no header and footer, and does not leave wide enough margins for me to add the header & footer using Acrobat without overwriting part of the document/graphic on the page.
    What would be the EASIEST way for me to reduce the image and widen top & bottom margins on each page of a .pdf document without cropping away part of the image, so that I can add the header & footer to each page?
    Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    Use the graphics package that you used to create the PDF to add the margins. You might also print to a new PDF to add margins. Graphics do not scale in a PDF, at least in my experience.

  • Remote Update Manager - Acrobat Pro

    Hello everyone,
    Please review this snippit from the Remote Update Manager (RUM) documentation.
    Note: Remote Update Manager is meant only for a subsection of Adobe Desktop products. It can not be used for browser plug-ins such as Flash Player and for Adobe Reader, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe AIR application updates.
    I ask the question... WHY?
    Why, at the very least isn't Acrobat Pro part of the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) and RUM configuration?
    I've finally gotten my Adobe udate server working and created a Scheduled Task to run the incremental update everyday. Perfect.
    Now I'm implementing the override files on my client machines and creating a Scheduled Tasks to run the RemoteUpdateManager so that my users (as well as myself) do not have to worry about updating the Adobe programs... BUT... one of the programs that we use quite a bit, Acrobat Pro, is not part of this automated update scenario.
    So, I'm left still updating Acrobat manually which almost, but not quite, defeats the purpose of AUSST & RUM.
    Can anyone from Adobe tell me whether there are plans to add Acrobat Pro to the automated updating procedure mentioned above?
    Please say yes.
    I'm so close to being at the point where the Adobe updates are completely automated. Adding Acrobat Pro to the list would be like hitting a grand slam in the 9th inning to win the game.
    Thanks in advance.

    Markus, thank you for the information.
    First, If Acrobat is not a creative product then it shouldn't be offered in the CC collection of programs.
    Second, Things being the way they are - Acrobat being deployable with the CC programs - it should be updated the same way as the CC programs. It would just make it nice and tidy and dare I say efficient.
    I will check out the link to the tools. Great, more software to download, install and configure.

  • Where has my acrobat pro gone?

    I have the whole CC package and up until today I had acrobat pro. I clicked on the update (Adobe acrobat DC - thinking it was just an upgrade) and once installed I saw it was a trial version. I thought if I simply uninstalled it, it would delete it and I would go back to my original Acrobat Pro, but then I realised it deleted my whole acrobat pro. How do I get it back? And why has this 'upgrade' been so aggressive? Am not happy!!!

    Hey keithstoddart,
    We are really sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    The installation of Acrobat DC trial version has removed previously installed Acrobat version from your computer.
    No worries! Please refer the following KB doc link and install previous version again:
    Acrobat trial removed previous version
    Let me know if you need further assistance.
    Happy to help.

  • Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

    I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery.  I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update.  I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs.  I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely.  So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6.  Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
    I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background.  I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner.  I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer.  From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual.   The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers.  This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP3.  I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7.  So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem.  I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop.  That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.

  • Acrobat Pro X Won't Open, please help.

    I have Creative Suite 6, which I purchased last summer.   I mostly only use Photoshop and Illustrator.  I have used Acrobat Pro X before without problems, however I have not used it now for several months.  But today, I tried to use Acrobat Pro X, and at first, it opened for maybe 20 seconds, and then closed.  I tried to reopen the file again, and on this, and all subsequent attempts, Acrobat Pro would not open at all. 
    A few minutes ago, I looked at the Acrobat Pro forum, and someone named TMoellman had the exact same problem as I did, with his question being posted earlier today.  The moderator told TMoellman to go to the CS forum.  I hoped to find his question here, and an answer.  But I found nothing. 
    I have Windows 8.1.  I used an application that checks all of my programs for updates, and it told me my Acrobat Pro X was up to date.  I also re-booted my PC a couple of times.
    What do I do?  Thank you, Chuck

    Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

  • Acrobat Pro X reinstall Fails

    I received an Acrobat Pro update notification and started the update process. Update failed and the message said it needed to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro.
    I followed Adobe’s advice. But I have not been able to get Acrobat Pro to finish installing on my MacPro (desktop) runs on OSX 10.9.5. I have read lots of help files, and group discussions. I have tried all sorts of things including uninstalling various ways and reinstalling various ways. I tried other utilities to scrub residual Adobe files. I've tried installing as root user, in safe mode, etc.
    My Acrobat Pro is part for the CS6 suite. It is an original CS6 install disk (not a download). Other parts of CS6 suite are working fine. Along the way I've rebuilt permissions and done various disk maintenance several times. I even had to restore from Time Machine once.
    Throughout all of this, about the same thing always happens. The CS installer runs fine for everything up to the last stage of installation for Acrobat. When the installer finishes, it says Acrobat install failed. The latest error log is below.
    My Acrobat Pro was able to update until 11.0.09 Pro update on 9/11/14. Before the latest update and Acrobat actually runs, and works fine. The main indicator that something isn't right is that when I try to update it, the update (also seems to run OK until about the end but then) says it can't update Acrobat because something has been changed. The other CS applications run and update fine.
    I lost the Acrobat Pro Since I uninstalled and have not been able to reinstall back to my CS6 suite. I'm tired of trying things without knowing what I'm trying to fix. It's clear that this type of problem is pretty widespread with Adobe Acrobat. So, does anyone really understand what the problem with their installer is??

  • Installing Acrobat Pro X

    I signed up for the Adobe Creative Cloud thinking it was a really great idea. However, I'm having some serious issues installing the software. I finally got Dreamweaver to load after discovering the tip to install the trial and then enter my Adobe ID in the Dreamweaver setup process. Then I installed the trial of Acrobat Pro. The installation process didn't ask me for my Adobe ID, and now I have the distict pleasure of have a trial installation of Acrobat counting down the days until it expires. I entered my Creative Cloud serial number in the trial window but to no avail. The window says that it is not valid. How do I activate my installation of Acrobat? You guys need to seriously work on your cloud install methods!!! >:-(

    I updated Adobe Application Manager. After the update and upon attempting to install Acrobat Pro from AAM, I get a message stating, "The download appears corrupted. Press Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again. (-60)" This is the same message I receive whenever I attempt to install anything from AAM. However, now I see a deactivate option in Acrobat Pro even though AAM does not indicate that it is installed. Furthermore, I'm not getting a popup telling me to license the software or continue with the trial. When I was getting the popup yesterday, I would enter my Create Cloud serial number in the serial number field, but it wouldn't accept it. The Adobe Create Cloud is the only number I've recieved in relation to Acrobat Pro X.
    So, the short story is that I MAY now have a successful installation of Acrobat Pro. But if I do, I don't know why, and I couldn't replicate the process.

  • Acrobat X Pro - Header & Footer content ? (web pages)

    We have thousands of Acrobat documents of converted web pages with this convention:
    Header (L-R): Title - [empty] - Date
    Footer: URL - [empty] - Page number
    This convention needs to be retained, but *many* web pages in Internet Explorer 10/11 simply will not convert using File | Print, and there seems to be no obvious way to reformat the header/footer content for use with the Acrobat X Pro IE10/11 'Convert' button.
    E.g. Acrobat X Preferences 'Convert to PDF' says 'There are no settings that can be edited in HTML'.
    Is there any way to reformat the default Header & Footer contents in IE10/11 'Convert web page contents to PDF' ? I'm using Win7 x64 Pro.  TIA
    Dave.

    It's a bit obscure, but the settings are on the conversion dialog.
    Open Acrobat on the desktop but don't open any documents.
    Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Create PDF From Web Page
    Click 'Settings' and make changes as required, then cancel out of the creation dialog.

  • Header / Footer justification problems in Acrobat 9 Pro

    When I want to add unifying headers or footer in my document, I see the center header/footer as centered in the preview and I see the right header/footer as right justified, but when I apply the header or footer to the document it shows up as left justified each time. What am I doing wrong or what setting do I need to change for it to work properly. Sorry to ask such a dumb question (maybe), but it worked fine for me in Adobe 7 Pro.

    Multiline headers or footers are all left justified.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Header/Footer

    It is easy to add, edit or remove a footer on a PDF document.
    It is possible to add the page number, the date, or a text by the "Document - Header & Footer".
    My question is: Is it possible to include an AutoText in the footer of a PDF? I need the Filename in the text of the footer. Now, the only way I found is to manualy type all the differents file names but I have a lots of documents.
    How can I include the FileName on a foother of a PDF document and is it possible to easily apply this setup to hundreds of documents.
    Thanks in advance

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 crashes when Document Header & Footer Add .. is invoked

    I'm running Acrobat 8.1.2 PPC on a PowerBook G4/1.67 Ghz running Leopard 10.5.4. I haven't used the page numbering function in quite a while, since before I upgraded to Leopard. Today I assembled a course packet of 150+ pages from 50 or so individual pdf documents. All was fine until I wanted to put a page number in the footer by invoking Document > Header & Footer > Add.... It either crashes Acrobat after putting a spinning system cursor (more frequently) or simply does nothing. I've tried "Examine" to remove things, but it doesn't help (and it removes bookmarks even when you tell it not to!). Running the PDF Optimizer on this document crashes Acrobat as well!
    Invoking Document > Header & Footer > Add.... on other documents does work. Let me stress that this composite document was created by Acrobat itself! The workaround I found was to open the document in Preview, do Print > Save as pdf, and *then* invoke Document > Header & Footer > Add....
    Has anyone else seen these problems? Are these remaining incompatibilities with Leopard? Advanced > Document Processing > Number Pages doesn't seem to add page numbers!

    I don't think it makes a difference. An Adobe engineer has confirmed that this doc has revealed a bug in both Acrobat Pro 8 and 9.

  • Acrobat X, using applescript, how do I open the 'Header & Footer'  panel

    G'day from Oz.
    We badly want to update to the CS6 suite, but using the trial version of Acrobat X, I can't find a way of opening the 'Add Header & Footer' dialog panel with applescript. We must add a barcode to pdf's, which was relatively simple using Acrobat 9.
    Anyone know a way to do this please?

    I have been bumping up against this issue in the last few days. I have redone my output as PDF and that works OK - i.e. There are no Safari footer details on the AirPrint printed page.
    But now I find that PDF documents frequently print with white space bands across the page (chopping off some of the text). I can even replicate this when pinch zooming on my iPad with a PDF document. So I suspect a bug in the PDF processing functionality within IOS. I am running IOS 4.3 so I had better update to see if the issue goes away.
