Why does Acrobat 11 open cached or "ghost" versions of my PDFs?

Here's my work flow...
Save a PDF from an Illustrator doc/open PDF in Acrobat to sanitize/email PDF
-get revision request-
Revise same Illustrator file/save as a PDF/open PDF in Acrobat and it views as the original PDF!
When I "quick look" on the desktop the PDF displays the revised comp. So my question is why does Acrobat 11 keep the cached image of the PDFs and how can I prevent this? Quitting Acrobat will fix the issue once so if I go to revise the same file for a 3rd, 4th time it'll show the cached version every time.

If you choose 'Preserve Illustrator editing' when exporting from AI, it actually embeds the entire AI file inside the PDF as a hidden attachment. Opening the PDF in Illustrator it will ignore the 'real' PDF content and open the AI object instead, so you never see the changes from Acrobat.

    why does acrobat reader crash upon opening in iMac os 10.10.1

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • Why does Acrobat Standard 6.0 recognize scanner but Pro 9 will not?

    I am running both programs on an Intel Mac (same machine), 10.5.8 Progam.  My Acrobat Standard 6.0 pulls in the scanner immediately, but my Pro 9 will not recognize the scanner.  Is there something I have to do to get the Pro 9 to recognize the same scanner?

    Thank you so much for your patience and expertise.  You spent a lot of time
    on this with me.  Maybe Adobe will fix the problem in the future!   Good
    luck to you.  Joyce

  • Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
    There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

    Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?  It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer.  This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update.  Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

    10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
    FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
    Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

  • Why does Acrobat CC lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

    Why does Acrobat lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

    Thanks, But
    3.4GHz i7, NV GTX 680MX 2GB card, 32GB DDR3 ram, 3tb Solid state/spin hybrid hard drive.
    I don't think it lacks grunt.
    Using big files in photoshop no problems.
    The lag is less pronounced if single page is selected in page layout but the problen still exists. It just snaps from page to page and I can't scroll smoothly.
    There is no option for 'hardware accelerated page display'
    No problem scrolling pdf in a browser, only if the pdf file is downloaded into this computer.
    The problem is in Acrobat.
    any ideas

  • Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

    I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
    How can this be solved?
    Patrick.

    Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?
