When I take a PDF through In Design CS 5.5 the text becomes screwed

When I take a PDF through Adobe In Design CS 5.5 and then try and copy and paste the text, all I get are little funky characters.
Why?
Original file:
http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/acrobat-reale/download/
Taken through In Design CS 5.5 and exported as Acrobat file:
http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/acrobat-b/download/
Taken through In Design CS 5.5 and printed as Postcript file then taken through Acrobat distiller:
http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/acrobat-01/download/

Please check to be sure your links are waht you think they are. That first one is to a PDF made with Ghostscript. It also is the only one I can copy text from and paste into ID. It's PDF 1.3, the one exported from ID is PDF 1.4, and, and the one from Distiller is PDF1.5, which may have something to do with it.
The distilled file has dozens of Identity-H encoded fonts that look like they might be a custom font, the exported file has only 5, and the ghostsctript file has waht looks like the same five, but they are "custo" encoded. What fonts are you using ?

Thanks -

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help.

You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

When I edited a PDF in Adobe Pro (MAC) all of my text changes got jumbled up and un-readable.

When I edited a PDF in Adobe Pro (MAC) all of my text changes got jumbled up and unreadable. I lost hours of work.
The first strange thing that I noticed was that some of the letters were showing up twice so I deleted extra letters and re-saved my work as I went along.
When I closed the document and opened it up again, ALL of the text was either missing, jumbled, or turned to symbols.
My software is updated. My version is 11.0.10. I work on a MAC computer.
Can anyone help me please? I'm on a deadline and this has caused some real stress.
Thank you.

As PDF is not a word processing file format any word processing like "editing" is not support by PDF (the file format - technology - See ISO 32000-1:2008).
Fortunately Acrobat provides robust touchup capability but "touchup" is far from word processor "editing".
Be well...

When i take photos or videos on my ipod touch with the camera, then i plug it into the computer to sync, the computer shuts down and this blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of other stuff.

When i take a photo or a video using the camera on my ipod touch, the computer (windows xp) shuts down and a blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of oth stuff in white. It doesn't wipe the memory or anything off the ipod. Whenever i sync my ipod without photos or videos it works fine. It also doesn't mind me taking photos off itunes to put on the ipod. I have had a look around and a couple of people say reinstall itunes, but i don't know if i will lose all my songs and apps. Any suggestions of help?

Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes should bring all needed drivers back: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Also check for new driver updates for Windows, especially if you have a webcam installed.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

When I save a PDF as an Excel File, all of the data in the PDF is put into one column (AdobeXI)

Hi, thanks for taking the time...
I'm running a machine with Windows 7, Office 2010, and Acrobat XI. When I save a specific PDF as an Excel workbook, all of the data in the original PDF is sorted correctly in four columns. When the same task is performed on this file on another user's machine, all of the data is sorted into one column. The user has the same versions of Windows, Office, and Acrobat. I've attempted the "Repair installation" option but the problem persists. Any suggestions? Thanks again for helping,

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

When e-mailing pdfs, the text becomes blurry/blocked, but not images

Recently, when e-mailing pdfs to certain individuals, they complain that the pdfs they receive contain blocked/blurry text. ALL of the text is dropped or blurred, but not the images. I originally thought that it was a probelm with only the pdfs created from Publisher, but this week it happened to several pdfs that I did not originally create. One person uses his iPad to view files, and wants all pdfs created as "Print to PDF" options--however, that compromises the resolution of the file. Does anyone else experience this probelm? Is there a solution?

Please let me know which device are they trying to open the PDFs on? Are they trying to open it on their desktops or on a portable device?
Also, what happens if the same PDF is not opened via mail but is open directly on the individuals machine? Is the behavior the same.
Thanks

When opening up a PDF, multiple .part files keep opening on the desktop until my computer crashes.

When I open a pdf file in Firefox, suddenly multiple .part files keep opening consecutively and rapidly until my computer crashes. It doesn't do this when I open up a pdf file in Safari. I'm running it on a MacBookPro with OS 10.5
This issue occurred with an older version of Firefox and also with

When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable. What am I doing wrong?

I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel. The result is garbage and unreadable. I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
not produced using Adobe software.
At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.

How do you duplicate a PDF fill in form page, WITHOUT linking the text (for MAC)??? That is, while still being able to type different things into the blanks on the duplicate pages?

The Situation (again, I have a Mac): I am filling out a 5 job application- it is PDF format, with questions, and fill in the blanks for your information- such as name, date, and employment history. Page 3, is the page used for employment history. But, there is only room for two jobs on page 3. The instructions tell you, you can "have as many page three's" as you want. In my case, I will be putting 8 jobs- at two jobs per page, that is a total of 4 page three's. I already know how to duplicate a PDF page, simply by opening the thumbnail viewer on the side, holding down the "alt" key, and clicking and dragging the desired page to create a duplicate. So what is the problem??? When you duplicate the page, the boxes into which you type, are linked. So if on the original, you type "Job A", into the experience box, it forces the same answer on the duplicate page, making it impossible to describe different positions!!!! Is there a way to work around that? Thank you!!!!!

You're probably using Acrobat if you can duplicate pages like that. This is the Adobe Reader forum...
To answer your question, though: The only way this can be done automatically, without having to manually rename each field, is to use a Template to spawn new pages. This is something the form's author should have done, but you can do it yourself as well, using some code.
