Hi Sarah - There isn't a direct way to do what you're describing, but you can find a workaround in Acrobat. First, convert the entire Word doc to PDF, and make sure to have the PDF tagged. Once you are in the PDF document, there are a few approaches. Here's one suggestion: If you have the same level headings using the term "Sample" you can split the document using that heading as the splitting criteria. Once the document is split, then do a search for the term. Your results will include the subset of documents containing the "Sample" text that you can combine in a single, essentially-filtered document. donna. ... View more

Hi there - You can add new tags to the document, and separate the content into separate tags. Follow these steps: Select the content you want to change on the page. Open the Tags navigation pane. Right-click in the area where you want to add the new tag. In the New Tag dialog, scroll through and find the tag type you want to use. Add a title if you like, and click OK. donna. ... View more

Hi - Have you tried initiating the process a different way? What happens if you open Distiller first and then select the file? Does the same problem occur if you're trying to create a PDF file? Since Distiller is part of the larger Acrobat installation, and you're on Mac, you could uninstall/reinstall Acrobat to repair any errors in the programming, including Distiller. donna. ...

Hi there - Are the stamps and signatures saved with your document? If you look in the Comment pane, do you see comments listed? If you add a signature, is it listed in the Signatures navigation pane? To start troubleshooting, I suggest you choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation and let the program go through and make changes as necessary to the installed components. That may resolve the issue for you. donna. ... View more

Hi Wendy - What browser are you using? And what PDF viewing are you using in the browser? That's where the answer lies. In some cases, a browser's PDF viewer won't execute actions like submitting an email. Since you'll never have control over what browser your users are working with, it's probably far less problematic to have the PDF form as a download for the user to fill in from their desktop using Acrobat or Reader, or another viewer that recognizes and executes actions. donna. ...

Hi Writer1 - That doesn't sound like something you could adjust with settings. Instead, it sounds like an installation issue. I suggest you uninstall/reinstall Reader again to see if that corrects the issue. donna. ... View more

Hi Michael - You can import data from a database into many different forms, but not at the same time. The form pulls data rather than the database pushing data. As far as I know, the data flow is the same in LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat. donna. ... View more

Hi Raj - No, not at all. Once you have the text in the screenshot captured, it's just a matter of leaving that PDF open while you're assembling all your cut and paste content, adding the copied text from the captured screenshot as necessary. donna. ... View more

Hi Laurence - I'm afraid I don't have any other useful ideas for you. I'd recommend you contact tech support and see if they can help you live. donna. ... View more

Hi there - No, it doesn't work like that unfortunately. But here's a weird idea that just may work for your project. In your Windows Explorer or Mac Finder show the source files in a list view. Then do a screenshot of the list. Convert the screenshot to PDF in Acrobat, and capture the text. Now rather than having to go to your file list utility, you can just copy it from that captured PDF and paste it to your sheet. This is such an odd idea but I bet it would work. Would you like to see it in a video? I'll do a test shortly and post the video later this afternoon. I have to see if it'll work myself donna. ... View more

Hi there - There aren't any rules when it comes to optimizing a handwriting scan. In the PDF Optimizer, make sure the image settings are high enough that the processed page still allows you to view the text clearly. You can safely select all the items on the Discard Objects panel, as well as all those on the Clean Up panel. The best thing to do is save a copy and try out the process. Be sure to check out the Enhance Scans tools as well, so you have the best scan of the handwriting. donna. ... View more

Hi Raj - Acrobat will give you the functionality that you're looking for with the file names. It won't extract the metadata automatically from the source document, but there's a quick workaround. Copy the name of the pdf file from the list on the Home page in Acrobat DC. Then go to your document containing the pasted material and press CTRL/COMMAND + V to paste the file name to the pdf page. Acrobat places the text into a new text frame on the page. I hope that works for you. donna. ... View more

Hi there - The short answer is that you can't do it using the Split command. What you need to do is use the Extract pages command under the Page Thumbnails' panel's menu to break down the document into smaller segments. You do that manually rather than based on the splitting features using either a size or number of pages. donna. ... View more

Hi - Yes, it should be able to do that. Polytonic text has many computer-based equivalents, so you should be able to OCR it provided you have the program set to recognize the language. donna.     ... View more

Hi Laurence - If you're using Windows, choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation and let the program review and correct its programmed components. That may resolve the problem. Do you need the scanned content to be selected text? One option may be to scan the pages, and then capture the screens of the pages at 100% size, which you can then put together into a single PDF file. That is an excruciatingly long workaround, but would get the job done if you're under time constraints. donna. ... View more

Hi Dan - If you have your original document set up as double-page spreads in InDesign, then you will have the spread outputs. donna. ... View more

Hi there - It's a pretty straightforward export from InDesign, although you have to include a couple of specific settings. First, choose File > Export and select Adobe PDF (Print).

Hi Dov - Thank you! I know that Gill Sans was originally a Monotype font, but certainly wasn't aware of its ramifications and licensing issues. I feel enlightened. donna. ... View more

Hi - You may or may not continue to run into problems with Gill Sans depending on the age of the font file the original file creator used on Mac. Prior to OS X 10.6 Lion, the font was called Gill Sans. Later it became GillSans (one word) when it was incorporated into the Adobe library. You can look online for a copy of the font you can freely download and install. It may allow you to edit as you like. If it doesn't, ask the original document creator to send you a copy of their font file, which you can install and use on Windows as Gill Sans is a TTF that's system-agnostic. donna. ... View more

Hi - In your web page, add a link to the PDF file, just as you would link to any other sort of media. Upload your PDF file to your server first (just like any other media like images). In your HTML, you'll need a tag for the source file's location, such as: src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-folder-location/your-pdf-file.pdf" What are you using to write your web page? That would make it simpler to provide direction. donna. ... View more

Did you ever solve your issue regarding scaling the contents smaller on the page? From the thread it doesn't appear as though you were helped in that regard. You can easily do it from the EDIT PDF tools. Choose Edit PDF from the list in the right hand pane to activate the tools and toolbar. Click the Edit tool on the toolbar to activate the frames around the objects on the page. Move your cursor over the page, then click and drag a selection around all the objects you want to resize at one time (quicker this way). Release the mouse to see the objects framed. Press SHIFT and drag from one of the corners to resize proportionally. Your scaling is an estimate, by the way. Once you've scaled the contents, you can drag the selection on the page as you like. donna. ... View more

Hi - I haven't seen a setting in Chrome, but in Firefox you can set a preference to create a stylesheet to use your own font choices. It overwrites pages using default layouts and CSS. Open a Firefox window, and choose Firefox > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows) and click Content in the Preferences list. Pick a default font and font size. Click Advanced to open more settings. Deselect the check box to use page encoding, rather than your choices (shown in figure). Click OK to close the dialog. donna. ... View more

Hi Chris - That's a problem with reading the font. Do you have the source document used to create the PDF you're having problems with? If so, change the font used in the document, or be sure to embed the font when you export it. That way, Acrobat has the font information needed to create the characters in the PDF file. Can you open the PDF by itself? And does it look correct? If you're using Acrobat DC, and don't have the source document, you can try changing it in Acrobat: Open the Edit PDF tools in the right hand pane. Select the text on the page, and choose another font from the drop-down list that shows in the Edit PDF tools in the right hand pane. donna. ... View more

Hi - There shouldn't be any difference in the display of Acrobat X vs. Acrobat DC. You mentioned you are using DC on Surface 4, and Acrobat X on Surface 3. What happens if you open in Acrobat X on Surface 4? I think the issue is more likely related to settings on Surface 4 than to the appearance of the text in Acrobat DC. That's not a precise answer, but should point you in the right direction.

Hi Edward - I apologize if I'm not understanding your question clearly, but I think I know what you're describing. Are you referring to the outline of a comment that indicates the location on the page where the comment originates? That can be blue, but could also be any other color you wish. You may be able to make changes that improve your review by adjusting the settings in the Comments preferences (shown here). You may find increasing the size of your comments make for easier reading, and be sure to check the options in the Pop-Up Open Behavior. How the comments display and what you can see on screen is dependent on the magnification, of course. You say your comment locations are hard to read at anything lower than 1200% magnification. What are the dimensions of the document you're viewing? Another feature you might want to experiment with is the type of comment you're using. If you use a text frame with an arrow, for example, you can set the width of the line thicker, which is easier to see on screen. donna. ... View more
