Using Acrobat Pro XI to open PDF causes system to freeze.

Frequently, when I open a PDF document (double click the PDF file), my Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ver. 11.0.03, (and X before) causes my system to freeze (hourglass icon runs for up to 30 seconds) not allowing me to perform any other command, and less frequently causes Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to quit. Following the unexpected quit, Windows Error Reporting takes over and I am directed to Windows for a solution (http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/5044/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=83 458a54-94bd-481a-834b-9713fc92dccf&iBucketTable=1&iBucket=-692234318&BucketHash=e4711a21f7 5b0d1473d68945071e3721), and the solution always directs me to install Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). This occurs on a daily basis. Should I install Adobe Reader even though I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed? Any ideas why my system hangs or why Adobe Acrobat Pro XI quits unexpectedly? My system is a Win XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3 with all the latest updates installed; 3 GB Ram and Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5670 @ 1.80 GHz, Dell Vostro 2510. I have Norton Anti Virus and I have performed a nightly full system virus scan, and I have performed a deep system virus scan. There are no viruses.

Bill@VT: Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the suggested steps, but will shortly. Will let you know what occurs.

Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs

Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs - just started happening. are there some preferances that can be trashed etc? don't tell me this will require a full reload?

ok I tried that but still get;
"a required component was not found. PLease restore the Adobe Acrobate folder from your original CD."
Thing is, I recently moved and cannot find the Adobe CD.
AppleJack seems like a neat little application. Can it also check for duplicate files? I DL'ed a Dup Finder program once but it seems tooo convoluted to use. I couldent tell which were nesssesary files and which were simply taking up space.

Acrobat Pro Won't Open PDF Files

I get this message when trying to click open pdf files in a directory. These files will open from Acrobat open file menu. Message - The document “SpecSheet_Zip.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format. I'm using Mac OS 10.6 and acrobat pro 8.2.5. Any ideas how to fix would be appreciated.

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

Align Columns? using Acrobat Pro 9 to create pdf from text file(s)

Hello,
Every time that I have tried to create a PDF from a text file, the columns dont align. The default Notepad setting I use to view a text file is Courier New which shows the columns aligned. How can I set defaults in Acrobat Pro 9 to have columns align?
Thanks

By definition a plain text file has no font, so it cannot be monospaced. Acrobat converts plain text using Times, this cannot be changed.
As TSN suggests to create a PDF from a text file with a specific choice of font and formatting you must print from another application.

Acrobat pro XI only opens pdfs 10% of the time, other times process created but it doesnt launch

Hi
I have a strange issue-
When I click on PDFs Acrobat pro XI does not launch except less than 10% of the time and it seems random. I can click the same PDF 10 times and perhaps get lucky once. The other times I get the "windows please wait blue circle" for about 5 seconds then nothing happens. I opened task manager and do see that an acrobat.exe process opens, and if I click on another PDF another process opens again essentially stacking over and over again each time I click.
I tried this on a few computers each time with the same issue. The computers are newer core i5 and i7 PCs with at least 4-8gb RAM & anywhere from 500gb-3tb HDDs
Acrobat pro X and XI are the only adobe programs on there (besides flash & on some reader xi)
I tried a friends copy of X for testing purposes just to see if i would have different results on the computer and it also seems to have the problem
Has anyone herd of this issue? Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks!

I would recommend running the Acrobat and Reader Cleaner then just install one and only one Acrobat/Reader program.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Mac two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that won't open. SOS!

Hi Margot ,
You can click on accept or buy ,which ever option you see on that dialog box.It will prompt you to type in your Adobe Credentials.You can license it by doing the same.
If it still doesn't work ,follow these steps and see how it goes .
Delete all the files from following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac. The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear. I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2 PDFs open VERY Slowly

I am using Acrobat PRO on a workstation (Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1)
After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2, all pdf files open VERY slowly (30-60 secs). It does not appear to matter if the file is local to the workstation or on the network. Also the size of the file does not seem to matter or whether this is the first file opened or a subsequent file.
In addition just opening Adobe Acrobat is equally slow.
I have tried turning off the anti-virus software. No impact.
Any suggestions appreciated...

Have you tried "Repair Acrobat Installation" to see if it makes any difference? To do this try this:
Help >> Repair Acrobat Installation.
Another option is to press the shift key while clicking or double clicking on the PDF file to open. this stops loading all the useless fonts in the document and other useless plugins in acrobat.
The third option is to delete the registry key that appears to be corrupted . However, if you nothing about registry keys, then you can't do it unless your company systems people can help you. The registry entries are:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat
It is a question of renaming them while you have exited from acrobat. Once this is done, restart the system and start/launch the acrobat and the fresh keys will be generated. PLEASE NOTE: DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HELP OF YOUR SYSTEMS PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPANY.
Hope this helps.

Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
Tried the fix again now no change.
I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
Thanks

I am trying to use Acrobat Pro version XI to crop my PDF but can't find the "PAGES" tools

I have a 1 page PDF that is 9.5 inches wide with about 1.5 inches of margin. I want to crop off the extra white space and center the image so that it fits on a normal letter sized page. However, I can't find any sort of crop or trim command in Acrobat. When I google cropping a PDF I find references to a crop command that is in some sort of "pages" collection of tools but I don't have any pages menu either. Is there a way to use Acrobat Pro for cropping ? How?
I also have photoshop and have tried importing and cropping there but when I export the image back to PDF format I find that its 10X the size it started. Its important for my purposes that the file be small.

Well it was installed yesterday and I spent hours trying to find the option as virtually the first thing I did when I launched it, so I'm quite sure I would have remembered if I changed it. However it was installed by a push from our corporate software distribution system so maybe that has a way of reconfiguring some options. Why they'd bother is a mystery to me though. Anyway, good to know, thanks again

How can I insert an image at the original resolution into a PDF using Acrobat Pro XI

Got an image created in Photoshop at 300DPI 2480 pixels wide by xx high. Saved as a TIFF.
When I insert that image in my PDF (A4 210mm x 297mm) using Acrobat Pro XI via "Content Editing->Add Image" it appears smaller than the page width of the PDF, and I must manually resize the inserted image by dragging with my mouse.
Documentation says the image is inserted at the original image resolution, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Also tried creating another image in Photoshop using 210mm width @ 300 DPI (instead of 2480 pixels @ 300DPI), got the same results.
Can anyone help? Cheers.

You should maybe take a step back. Nobody composes pages in Acrobat.

How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.
