Viewing in Acrobat X vs. Acrobat 9

When viewing a document on my monitor using Acrobat 9 Pro, the colours are quite good; when doing the same with Acrobat X Pro, the colours are somewhat dull and dark, particularly the reds.
WHY; how does one fix this?
(I am using a hardware calibrated monitor, looking at a Gretagmacbeth ColorChecker image; colours render well in Lightroom and Photoshop, and quite well in Acrobat 9 Pro — Acrobat X Pro is the real problem. What have I missed?)

Hi Zzzunk,
I moved your question over to the Acrobat forums.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

"View Pdf After Exporting" Moves Acrobat to Background

Wow, even this forum is buggy. I just lost my entire post because the "server wasn't responding". That'll teach me to copy and paste my post into a text file before hitting the Post Message button.
Here goes again:
I've tried getting an answer for this problem in the InDesign forum with no response after a week.
OSX 10.6.7
Acrobat 9.4.3
InDesign 7.0.3
Conditions:
Step 1) Only InDesign is running. I make a pdf with the "View Pdf After Exporting" box checked. The pdf is created, Acrobat opens and displays my pdf for me as it did in 8 and before.
Step 2) With only InDesign and Acrobat running, I repeat step 1 above, I get the same result EXCEPT that Acrobat immediately pops into the background.
This never happened with any version previous to InDesign CS5 and happened before I installed Acrobat 9, sending Acrobat 8 into the background.
This is a very frustrating bug.

Acrobat 9 Killed Acrobat 8 and cannot go back to 8 even if uninstalled is done

Acrobat 9 Killed Acrobat 8 and cannot go back to 8 even if uninstalled is done, Got 8 back on but the updates for Acrobat will not install. The other CS3 products work fine, they have applied their update but Acrobat keeps failing. The message in my Windows event viewer is "Product: Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 (KB403742) -- No qualifying products found to apply this update" but the base 8.0 pro is installed.
Manually downloaded the updates for acrobat then patcher basically gives me the same error...
Is there a registry key that can be modified or remove to allow the updates. I have Acrobat 8.0 as part of CS3 but i'm seeing a separate copy of 8.1.2 pro in my Installed programs list!! I never had the chance of installing any updates let alone 8.1.2 pro standalone.
Plus my system was working until that very last security update came out for acrobat pro.

Remove 9 and if you have the disks try uninstalling 8. If not use the
CS3 CleanScript.

Acrobat Pro versus Acrobat Reader

Hi
I apologize about this very basic question. However, a Google search failed to return an answer, so I am asking it here.
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed on my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine, as part of the Adobe CS4 package. I keep all Adobe products (including Acrobat) updated to the latest versions/patches.
My question concerns viewing PDF documents in my web browser, such as Firefox or Chrome. I am concerned about some of the vulnerabilities in Acrobat Reader (and Acrobat Pro), which allow the introduction of malware by viewing PDF documents on the web.
So, specifically, I would like to know:
1. Since I already have Acrobat Pro installed, I don't really need Acrobat Reader, do I? Under Control Panel > Installed Programs on my computer, I do not see Acrobat Reader installed, and yet I am able to view PDF documents in my browser. I am assuming this is because Acrobat Pro includes a reader, and this is what is invoked by the browser when it encounters a PDF document. Am I right in thinking this?
2. I wanted to turn OFF javascript in the Acrobat Reader. Again, since I don't seem to have Acrobat Reader installed, I turned it off in Acrobat Pro (this is again for security reasons, to avoid some exploits which use javascript inside the Acrobat Reader). Will turning off javascript inside Acrobat Pro also turn it off in whatever software my browser is using to display PDFs?
Thanks.

You seem to be covered.
No, if you have Acrobat, you don't need Reader plus, it is a non-recommended nor supported setup. They have issues with each other when they are both installed on the same machine.
Will turning off javascript inside Acrobat Pro also turn it off in whatever software my browser is using to display PDFs?
Thanks.
Yes. Your browser is using Acrobat Pro to view the PDF.

Adobe Distiller 11.0.9 - Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT"

When I attempt to launch Adobe Distiller Pro 11.0.929, I get an error:
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT" You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
Does anyone know how I might resolve this error? Re-installing Acrobat fixes it, however I'm getting this error on multiple machines so I would prefer to not have to re-install if possible. Any clues or hints you might have are very welcome!

Yes, the folder exists and I am able to access it.

Kindly advise.

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

How to Compress non-image object in Acrobat 9 Pro/Acrobat X Pro

Hi,
I am newbie and don't know where to post this question exactly. Forgive me if I am incorrect.
How can we compress "non-image object" in "Acrobat 9 Pro/Acrobat X Pro"
Thanks in advance for your suggestion & help.
Thanks & Regards,
Raja. S

Thanks for the reply.
I want to compress the "non-image" objects (i.e pagragraph contents and not images) for the entire PDF file in the "Acrobat pro X" application manually and not with the tool.
Please share me if you have any idea on this.
Thanks,
Raja. S

Associating my current PDF files to Acrobat 10 from Acrobat 9

I am here in the forum because the stinkers at Adobe Tech Support said they could only help with CURRENT products. That's poor customer service. I'm needing to point all my PDF files to my new Acrobat X Standard that I installed. I removed the Acrobat 9.0 but when I go to Control Panel --> Default Programs --> Set Associations, and I choose .pdf and then click Change Program -- I do not see Acrobat X as an option to point my files to.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Update: I finally got it done by searching on google. You can open the Acrobat program, go to Edit --> Preferences --> General and click the Select Default PDF Handler button and designate it that way.

Hi orrery66 ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums. Yes, the way you chose it is also a way to select the file association for it.
However, you can also set the file association by, choose the file>Right click>Open with>choose default program>select Acrobat from the list.
If, Acrobat is not in the list, click browse and select Acrobat.ex from the install directory (E.G.C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat)
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

In your Optimize settings if you set it to "Make Compatible with Acrobat 5.0 or Later" it will bring it down to PDF 1.4

Deploying an Acrobat addin for Acrobat 7 and 8

Hi,
Is there an elegant / standard way of deploying a custom addin for use with either Acrobat 7 or 8. Technically, the addin we have written will work for both versions of Acrobat.
As I understand it, we just need to deploy to the correct add-in folder depending on the version of Acrobat installed. We are looking to install the addin via and MSI and Marimba.
Is there an environment variable for the addin path. We would like to avoid deploying to both paths, or having multiple packages (one for each adobe version).
Thanks.

For Acrobat 6.0+ you can use:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\X.0\InstallPath]
(Default)="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat X.0\Acrobat"
Replace X with the major version you are looking for. There may be multiple versions listed (my system has 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0 because I have had, at some point, each of those versions installed) but the InstallPath key will only exist for the currently installed version.

When I print to Acrobat from Quickbooks, Acrobat adds heavy lines. Solutions??

When printing to file from Quickbooks to Acrobat, Acrobat has begun to add three heaviy lines. Always in the same location; like three sides of a box. Initially the application worked fine. But since this problem started it has been consistant. I have Windows 7. Thank you.

This forum is for printing from Acrobat, not to Acrobat which actually uses Acrobat Distiller. I will move your post to the appropriate forum.
The problem may be due to Acrobat/Distiller or it may be the output that Quickbooks is generating.

Problem running Acrobat.exe from acrobat plugin in IE

hi,
In another discussion, regarding signing pdf in Internet explorer, i am awaiting a reply to a very imp question. In the mean time, asuming that it cannot be done in a standard way, as we have used PDDoc allover the plugin and in IE PDDoc is only accessible in callback methods, i have tried to implement a work around, where i save the PDF to local disk and open it in acrobat.exe.
i do the following:
Register for PDDocDidOpen notification.
In PDDocDidOpen notification i save the AVDoc globally for later use.
then in IdleHandler callback, i use the globally save AVDoc to call PDDocSave() method to save the online pdf to local disk.
and in the PDDocDidSave() callback i use shellexecute to opend acrobat.exe to open the newly saved PDF.
Problem: The shellexecute opens up acrobat.exe showing the newly saved file, but if i click the empty field in the PDF or press any button, acrobat.exe crashes.
I have tried placing shellexecute in differenct callbacks but no success.
here is the shell execute.
ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Acrobat 10.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe", "d:\\test.pdf", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
I have opened a different pdf than the newly saved one instead, but still the crash exists.
Do u have any idea what i might be doing wrong.
Jahangir

As you can see (a) Source files exist(b) DNG command line runs without generating an error (c) no output files in destination.
DNG Converter did not run.
If I remove everything after the command (i.e. the parameter list stuff) it fires up DNG Converter in interactive mode. Not what I'm after.
Any other thoughts on what the problem is?
Thank you.
