converting PDF to grayscale

I am using Adobe CS 3, Acrobat 8 Professional, on Mac OS 10.4.11

I am trying to convert a full color PDF document to grayscale. I tried to click Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors and then Grayscale, but it is not working.

I tried clicking Print and then choosing a PDF option, but it is taking unreasonably long and not finishing.

So how can I convert it to grayscale?

Text gets hidden on PDF form

I have created a PDF form with Acrobat Pro 9 and saved it as a form extending its features to Reader.

 

When I open the form with Reader 9 it allows me to fill in the fields but I can only see text in the field I am clicked on. Any previous fields I have typed text into is hidden (invisible) as soon as I click on another field.

 

I tried selecting all the fields and changing the background to a random color and then back to a non-colour and saving that form. When I opend it in Reader I was able to see all the text that I input and I though it was fixed. But when you close the file and save it and then reopen it, all the text is hidden again until you click on each field to be able to see it.

 

Does anyone know what's going on?

<newbie questions><br /><br />I have a PDF someone made from a PowerPoint that had light text on dark background.<br /><br />Q1: I want to print the document in B&W without wasting ink. How does one do that?<br /><br />Q2: How does one reset all Acrobat settings (preferences, etc.) shy of reinstalling the program? Does that also reset Preflight settings to defaults? <br /><br /></newbie questions><br /><br />Thanks,<br />humanengr

Does Acrobat X allow custom shortcuts?

This alone would propel me to upgrading from 9 pro if Acrobat X allows it.

 

Any other "must-have" features from a user perspective? I'd rather hear form users than read the Adobe marketing.

 

I create tons of PDFx files for commercial press from Indesign as well as web-ready PDFs for user downloads and am interested in anything which improves that process.

 

Thanks

Resizing a Page in Acrobat Pro

I had to crop approximately 100 pages due to crop marks being included in the original PDF file. Is there a way to now get these pages (in a variety of page sizes, all smaller than letter size) resized to be on a letter sized page?

 

I've tried recroping the same pages back to the letter size I'm looking for, but it remembers the crop marks.

 

I'm not trying to enlarge anything, just center the existing page on a letter size page.

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

Just recently I started getting the message when opening pdf files containing ArialMT (typically by PC users) (I am using a Mac obviously and Acrobat 9.3.3):

 

Cannot find or create the font ArialMT. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

 

I've looked around in the forums and no one else has had this problem answered. Can't find anything else on the subject that pertains to how to fix it on a Mac, only on a PC using coding.

Changing the Font Size of a Text Box in Acrobat 9 Pro

Text Box

 

How does one change the font size after the text has been entered into the text box.

 

The Properties Bar is no help. It appears to have NOTHING to do with the font type or size.

 

Has this "feature" been removed from Acrobat 9 Pro???

 

Thanks,

How does crop pages work in Acrobat?

Although I have "eliminated white space" from pdfs for email attachments, recently I tried cropping a pdf before placing it in an InDesign document (it was saved as a pdf from a crossword puzzle-creating application and sent to me). I seemed to be able to crop it, save the cropped version, and verify that it was cropped by opening the pdf in Acrobat, but when I place the pdf, it always displays the image uncropped. IT suggests that the problem might be that CS2 has difficulties with Vista, although when I try it on my Mac at home, I see the same thing. Is cropping only a function available for viewing pdfs in Acrobat?

Attach to email not working

Hi All,

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 and I am trying to attach a PDF to my email program which is the new Office 2011 - Outlook for Mac. Acrobat comes up with an error stating that "An error occurred while trying to create a mail document. Acrobat is unable to complete your request." - not sure what needs to be done here, Outlook is defined as my default email program. Initially it worked for Apple Mail, but I changed the default email program to Outlook once I installed Office.

Is there a workaround for this? Any help would be grateful.

Cheers.

I really hope there is a conclusion to this as it's driving me mad (!)

I'm trying to view movies embedded in a pdf, whe I click the movie I get

'The media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete'

This takes me to the acrobat website where I get the error

'We're sorry, but the third-party media player required to play the selected media file in your Adobe PDF document isn't available for your system. No media player will be downloaded at this time.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, and Adobe Reader 6.0 for Windows currently support the following media players for playback: Flash, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media Player. Acrobat 6.0 and Adobe Reader 6.0 for Mac OS currently support QuickTime. For information about system requirements and media types supported by these third-party media players, please visit the following Web sites:

I'm on OS 4.1.11

I'm using Acrobat 7.1.0

I have the latest version of Quicktime installed

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

 

When reading the PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, how can I change the measurement units  from inches to metric when using the measuring tool?

 

I have already been  to Preferences and changed in Units and Guides the Page and Rules Units  to millimeters but then, although the rulers do change to mm, the  measuring tool (the red lines) still read in inches...I have also made sure the Measuring (2D) preferences show the 'Use Scale and Units from Documents' is checked.

 

Does anyone kow how I could get the measuring tool to give me the dimensions in metrics?

 

It would be truly great if anyone could clarify this. Thank you so much!

Got a W9 tax form to complete. I was able to highlight all the fields with the Highlight Fields button. I believe I have created a proper signature under Advanced=Security Settings. When I click on Advanced=Sign & Certify, I only am able to "Preview" the document. What am I doing wrong? Using v. 8.1.6

Blurring/hiding text in Acrobat

Acrobat 9.0.0

I'm a new user. I would like to know if Acrobat has a feature where I can blur parts of the text so that my reader will not see them. Ideally, this would just be a selection tool type of an action.

If not, does anyone have any tips from hiding parts of a document from a reader? I want the reader to see that there is some text there, but that it is not available for them to read.

Thanks!

Hi,

Hope you can help. I just got Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I figured out how to edit text in a PDF, but when I do it does not keep the text centered.

How can I center text?
