Zooming in with Mac Acrobat

Hello,
I've just gotten my Mac here at work, after being a PC user for 20 years. I love it. But, I'm flummoxed by some "shortcuts" I was used to on the PC. Specifically, I need to be able to zoom in on PDF pages. I know I can zoom with command + +. But, I need to zoom in, into a specific area of the page. The regular zoom just enlarges everything and I have to scroll to get to what I wanted to look at closely. On the PC I'd press Control + spaceband. In fact, that worked for zooming in for all Adobe apps. Does anyone know the trick for this?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. I just discovered the "marquee zoom" tool in the toolbar. That's what I want. I've put it in my toolbar at the top. I'd just like to know if there's a keyboard shortcut for it. Thanks.

So if you have the regular selection tool showing on you page in a PDF and you first push and hold the space bar and add the Cmd key (keeping both pushed) you don't get the magnifier with the plus sign in it? If you don't it's likely some OS interference from either Spotlight or Expose.

I got the same blasted message. I need help. I need to exchange this program for one that is compatible with my MAC. The standard is of no use to me at all. I feel like I have been ripped off

How to use mac's full screen functionality with Adobe acrobat XI?

I recently switched to mac, so font have much experience with this.
My adobe reader is missing mac's full screen functionality (the two arrows on right that make mac fullscreen).
so, if i have three pdfs open, i cannot switch between them using the 4 finger swipe..
Please note that this is different from the adobe functionality (command + L) which allows it to become fullscreen, but it still occupies the desktop and so, i cannot swipe between different pdfs.
Thank you!

Nope that is just the way it is with Mac OS X and the way Apple has setup the dual screen system.

I get an error window that says There is a problem with adobe acrobat reader if it is running please exit and try again. Alittle help here PLEASE!!

Can any one help me with this problem??

Hi garryw,
What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Do you get the same error when you try to print other PDF files, or is the problem specific to one PDF?
For starters, please try the solutions listed in this thread: Re: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat /Reader. If it is running ,please exit and try again.(0:104)
Let us know how it goes.

My Mac Acrobat XI 11.0.7 will not save as WORD/ PowerPoint / etc.
Is there anything I should check out or turn on so I can save PDFs at PowerPoint?

Rave
Whenever I try to save a pdf to WORD, POWERPOINT OR HTML page I get this error --- Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.
Problem occured when I upgraded to XI. I am using a Mac OS X 10.9.4 and Mac Office 2008.
I have been on chats with Adobe online and on the phone several times and they can resolve the problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat XI but still have problem

Is it possible to change the settings in AR Properties Advanced tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?

I noticed when I went to print a PDF double sided, that despite the following the guidelines from Adobe on this process, it still printed single sided. I checked the properties of the PDF itself and on the Advanced tab, the DuplexMode was set to Simplex and was greyed out.
Is it possible to change the settings in that tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?
Regards
Sharon

Dear Sara
Thank you for your reply.
I have two printers, both support automatic duplexing. Any PDF we receive
or create we are unable to print double sided on our mac mini¹s. I didn¹t
make it clear in my question that we were fine on Windows XP, but, having
recently changed to Mac have encountered this frustrating problem.
I did a lot of research prior to recording the question and it appears I am
not the only one who has come across this problem, and I have followed the
guidelines that Adobe promote on their website to be able to print double
sided, which doesn¹t work on the mac mini Osx Mavericks.
Because the Properties, Advanced tab has ³Print Dialog Presets² that are set
to simplex and greyed out I took that to mean that no matter what printer
settings I make, and I think I¹ve gone through all that I can, the pdf will
not print double sided on Mac but will on XP.
Sorry this isn¹t the reply you must have been hoping for and look forward to
receiving further advice in regard to this matter.
Regards
Sharon

Compatible with Mac

I own a Mac and need to purchase an Acrobat program for teaching purposes. I recently purchased the Acrobat Standard XI and quickly discovered that it is not compatible with Mac. There is very little information online to guide customers as to which Acrobat, if any, is Mac compatible. Could someone please give me some guidance?

Here is a link to a page that peovides access to the spevs for all versions of Acrobat. Try before you buy.

HT5678 Difficulty with Adobe Acrobat Professional in Safari 6.0.4

I am unable to open pdf files. The screen goes black and the message, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:9)" pops up. OS10.8.3 Safari 6.0.4

Hi,
Third party unsupported Safari add ons are causing Safari to crash.
/Library/InputManagers/Ecamm/Ecamm Plugin Loader.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Ecamm Plugin Loader
/Library/InputManagers/Ecamm/Plugins/iGlasses.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iGlasses
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/Keywurl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Keywurl
Open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the LIbrary folder then the Input Managers folder.
Move these files to the Trash: Ecamm/Ecamm Plugin Loader.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Ecamm Plugin Loader
and these: Ecamm/Plugins/iGlasses.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iGlasses
From that same Library folder open the Scripting Additions folder. Move these files to the Trash:
SIMBL.osax/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL
Same Library folder open the Application Support folder. Move these files to the Trash: SIMBL/Plugins/Keywurl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Keywurl
Restart Safari.
Apparently iGlasses can only run if you start Safari in 32 bit mode according to the information here.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/faq.html
You would have to restart in 64 bit when not using the plug in. Probably not worth the hassle. I hope you only have the trial version installed.
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574)
You also need to update to v10.6.6. You can do this by clicking your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update.

Problem with mac interface

Hi !
I just installed Dreamweaver CS4 on my new Macbook Pro. I used to use Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows. But, I have a problem with the interface on my macbook : when dreamweaver is running, I can see my desktop : there is no background like in a MDI application (on windows). To illustrate my problem, I took two screenshots :
on mac :
and on windows :
So, I would like to know how to have the same interface with Mac OS X than with Windows.
Thanx for your help and sorry for my english but i'm french.

Click the green zoom (+) button in the top-left corner of the window to switch between a larger and smaller window size.
Depending on the active application it either fills the entire screen or zooms to the size of the last largest size of the window that you set yourself by dragging bottom righthand corner to desired size.
Photoshop has various ways to hide the Desktop. Either by using the Application frame (which doesn't neccessarily hide the entire Desktop) or by pressing the key F. Wanted by PC users but usually not by Mac users. (I would personaly never use it as it obscures the Desktop so you cannot easily reach other applications and documents by just clicking them to call them into the front and get active).
DW doesn't have an application frame but it is easy enough to fill the entire screen with the active window, particularly if you open up a few panels and dock them to each other and use Split screen view with code on one size and design on the other, then place various bars at top and bottom. When you have organized it to your liking, save it as a Workspace (Window/Workspace Layout/New Workspace) and you have it handy for future use.

Mac Acrobat Pro 11.0.7 Crashes On Scan from "Shared" Scanner

I have an HP Officejet 7610 multifunction that allows you to connect the device to a Mac via USB, ethernet, or WiFi. If you connect via the latter two mechanisms, the scanner (on Mac OX 10.9.4 Mavericks) shows up as a "shared" device. Attempts to scan into Acrobat all fail with an Acrobat crash. This is true whether you use the Document Feeder or the Scan Bed. Fortunately, it does work via USB. But that limits the functionality of the device. Known problem? Any fix?
I can post the Mac error message if that helps. Tried to do it with this but my post kept getting rejected.

Hello Colin Butcher,
Edited 05/26:
Sorry about the inconvenience, we are trying to reproduce the problem internally. Meanwhile, based on the logs and error code, we have a few suggestions. Please follow the workarounds given below:
Workaround #1: Reboot your machine and re-try installation.
Workaround #2 (if #1 does not work):
1) Navigate to the following folder on your machine: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager\AAMSetup
IMPORTANT: Before you proceed to step #2, please note the versions of the following three files in this folder:
AdobePIM.dll (under sub-folder “resources”)
iASUVersion.dll
Set-up.exe
To find the version, right-click on the file, choose Properties > Details > File Version. Please send the three file version numbers to [email protected]
2) Next, please delete the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager\AAMSetup
3) Repair your installation by visiting: Add/Remove Programs > right click on Adobe Acrobat 11.0.06 > Change > Repair the installation.
4) Re-try installation
Please note that it is important that you verify the file versions as that will help us debug the problem further.
Thanks,
