Why does Acrobat XI fail to automatically use a PDX index?

I've just upgraded from Acrobat 7 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro. In Acrobat 7, if a PDX index file was specified in the (File->Properties->Advanced->Search Index) window of an initial PDF, that index file would be available to other PDFs that were opened by clicking on links in the initial PDF. This was true even if an indexed search was NOT initiated when the initial PDF was being viewed.
In Acrobat XI Pro this is not the case. The only way to make the PDX index file, specified in the initial PDF, available to subsequent PDFs is to actually initiate an indexed search while the initial PDF is being viewed. If this is not done, once a user has moved off of the initial PDF, the ability to search using the PDX index in no longer available while they are browsing the hundreds of PDFs that are "children" of the initial PDF. The only way for the user to "activate" the PDX index is to go back to the initial PDF and then do an indexed search. Once that is done, Acrobat will use the PDX file for all other index searched, no matter what PDF file the user is viewing.
As was the case in Acrobat 7, is there a way to cause Acrobat XI Pro to "activate" the specifed PDX index file without the extra step of:
- doing an unneeded indexed search after opening the initial PDF containing the PDX setup
       or
- going to (Edit->Advanced Search->Show More Options->Look In: Select Index...)  and picking the needed PDX index file
In other words, under Acrobat 7, as long as the PDX index is specified in the initial PDF, the user does not need to do anything to have the PDX index available no matter what PDF they are viewing.  Any ideas on how to get Acrobat XI Pro to this?

You can try changing the scanner's Native options.
In Acrobat, choose File > Create > PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan. 
1. Click the Options button to the right of the scanner name.
2. In the Scanner Options dialog, choose Show Scanner's Native Interface from the pop-up menu.
3. In the scanner's interface, choose the correct input method.
Thanks

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • 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.................

  • 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.

  • Why does acrobat reader crash upon opening in iMac os 10.10.1

    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 prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

    Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

    Hi shirlaowry,
    I checked your account (using the same email address that you use here in the forums), and I don't see that you have any subscriptions. If you're using Adobe Reader, you need either an ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack subscription to convert a PDF file to Word.
    (Acrobat, as opposed to Reader, lets you save directly to Word format, and does not require a separate subscription for that functionality.)
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,

    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 iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • 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 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.

  • TS3274 why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    Hi DizzyTaco2,
    If you are having issues with an Apple application such as iBooks freezing or quitting unexpectedly on your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons

    why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons instead of volume when the headphones are not plucked in?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
