Using Acrobat XI Pro on Macbook

I just purchased/downloaded Acrobat XI Pro to my Macbook Pro.  It doesn't appear in my applications and when I try to open a file with it, I get a message that the computer doesn't support windows based apps.  I checked before I downloaded that the macbook was supported.  Any help?

There are two versions available for purchase the Mac version and the Windows version. You purchased the Windows version. You can return the Windows version and then purchase the Mac version. You can also contact customer support and see if they will switch versions for you.

  • Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

    I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro.  When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password.  After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X).  For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file.  I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight. 
    The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display.  Now I can drag pages between documents again.  THANK YOU Josh!
    Oh, and CORREAdmin,  it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel.  Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

  • How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

    I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row.  For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons.  With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row.  Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons?  Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row? 
    Thanks so much,
    Andy 

    I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
    When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
    It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
    Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
    Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

    How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

    If you have Acrobat Pro Extended that is a PC Product. You've clicked on wrong Forum. Go back to main page the click on Acrobat and choose PC forum. Extend has such features as XML based PDF Forms which Acrobat Pro Mac can't handle.

  • Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

    I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section.  Is this possible?  If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Thanks, George!  In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with.  For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10.  I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization.  I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written.  Does that make sense?  Will this require JavaScript?  My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form.  Thanks again,
    Andy

  • Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.

  • Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up.  Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

    I know!!!    This is so frustrating.  I have attached the document.
    Maybe you can try to type in it and see.  I used the default font, but I
    did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
    I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me!  Thank you!

  • Reducing size of a PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hello, I want to reduce the file size of a large number of pdfs which will be available for download on a website I'm building. These pdfs were created a few years ago and in most cases the fonts were converted to outlines. I want to reduce the size of the pdfs using Acrobat 9 Pro. I tried one and the size went from 2.3 Mb down to 156 Kb when I saved as an Acrobat 7. Will these be able to be viewed by anyone using Acrobat Reader. The end users will only be viewing and reading the pdfs. Thanks in advance for any responses.

    If you are familar with the PDF Optimizer and how to go to it, open PDF Optimizer.
    First images for a website should never be more than 150dpi.
    Go to images and set, for DPI  150  for color images Grayscale and Monochrome.
    Next open fonts in optimizer and look for duplicate fonts.
    example:
    Ariel
    Ariel Bold
    Ariel Bold
    Ariel Italic
    Courier New Bold
    remove the duplicate Ariel Bold.
    Many times there are 5-10 instances or more of the same Font/Font style.
    Remove all duplicates.
    Save as a new file you never want to save over your original in case what you end up with doesn't turn out.

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Cannot export text using Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hello all,
    I have a .pdf file that I want to export as text using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    File / Export menu appears to offer this,  as does the help.   But mousing over the arrow to the right of the Export / Text menu
    brings up no options.  I can export as .ps if I want to,  but not text,  or html.
    Is this an installation option (I checked,  and I didn't see any option for this)?
    Or does the program refuse to export files with certain attributes?
    Or is my installation likely to be broken in some way?
    Best Regards,

    You can typically use the copy&paste or use Save As. I am not exactly sure what you mean by export other than one of these two options as suggested in the complete help (I am on AA8 here). It may be that there is no text to export. A lot of the older IEEE pubs are simply scans with no text. You would have to OCR the paper to get the text to export in such a case. If you posted a sample file, maybe we could be of more help.
