I have a long document of 100+ pages which has been produced (not by me) by printing a PowerPoint document to pdf.
I would like to print this document with 3 pages to each A4, which I know how to do, but I would like to align these 3 pages to the left hand side to allow for annotations on the right hand side - they are currently being centred and I cannot see a way to change this.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
Thanks

Error Placing Image. Selecting Touch Up Object Tool, Right clicking and selecting Insert Image, select a jpeg file (or any other picture file), and get error "Incorrect PDE Object type".
Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with Windows 8.1. I can't even insert an image created in Photoshop Essentials.
I recently replaced my computer and reinstalled Acrobat XI. Now when I use the save buttons in Internet Explorer 11, it will not allow me to name the file. I can choose where to save the file, but the field to type in the file name does not appear. The only way I have the option to name the file is if I Print the file to Adobe PDF. Is there a setting in Internet Explorer or Acrobat that will allow the file name field to appear?

Thank you,
Hi - My sales team uses powerpoint for proposals and we print in 'pdf' and send it to the client. When we do this, we lose the hyperlinks that are embedded in the images. Is there any way to retain it?
I'm combining files into PDFs. When I go to save the PDF, a page appears asking me to install Reader (already installed). It takes over the PDF and is the only page you see. So frustrating please help!!
Starting early Dec 2018, Reader is showing blurred images when saving a Word doc in PDF format. Why? I have done the repair and delete/reinstall and it still does this. Is this Adobe having decided to no longer support this functionality and disabling the code that previously allowed that save to be a sharp image???
I am trying to convert an excel file into a PDF. why is it not populating the full form?
Thank you
Environment: Clean install of
Problem description:
Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-in is enabled in Word. ACROBAT tab is visible in the ribbon, but all of its options are disabled. Word cannot create pdf, but worse than that, it cannot save any type of file.
Once the add-in in Word is disabled, the ACROBAT tab as it supposed vanishes, pdf cannot be created, but at least Word can save files.
Moreover, regardless of the Acrobat PDFMaker add-in status in Word (i.e enabled or disabled), when right clicking on any Word document and selecting convert to pdf, the pdf is not created and I get an error message “Unable to open the document. Please check if you have read permission for the file”, which apparently is not the case, as I’m the owner of the file with Full access.
It’s worth noting that this behavior applies only to Word 2016. Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook work seamlessly.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance. Dimitri
We created a template with many fields, all readonly.
We want to use this template in our software, and fill the fields programmatically.
When we create the final pdf the fields are filled with the right value.
The problem is that some of these fields, even if readonly, are selectable. The user can, with his mouse click on the field. When he click the content of the field moves for some millimeters! A very bad behaviour. We want to use these fields as labels.
Any suggestion?
I have successfully added link to webpage in PDF document using Acrobat DC, but it always opens in same browser window. How do I add attribute that opens link in new tab/window ("_blank" attribute)?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017.
I am in prepare form tool and would like to add a date/time field that auto generates the current date/time when the form is opened. How do I do that?
Thanks
If you've ever noticed that zooming-in (200% or more) on images in a PowerPoint or Word document, or a PDF made from a PowerPoint or Word document, shows that the images aren't very good, you should know that it's most likely Microsoft's fault - though Acrobat settings can also be responsible.
MS Office 2007 and later compress graphics by default and cause them to become blurry. Once a document is saved, the blurry images are permanent and can't be undone except by re-importing all of the images into the document. Not compressing images does result in a slightly bigger file, but the improvements in readability is worth it. Worst of all, in MS PowerPoint 2007 & 2010, you can't set a Preference to turn-off the compression for good. You have to do it each time you start a new presentation (but once compression is set to "off", it stays that way in that presentation no matter who opens or edits it).
FIRST, LET'S TACKLE THE POWERPOINT (or Word) SETTINGS THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED
To turn compression off in Word 2007 or (only for the current presentation) in PowerPoint 2007:
To turn compression off in Word 2010 or (only for the current presentation) in PowerPoint 2010:
PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR NEW DOCUMENTS IN POWERPOINT 2007 & 2010:
To really fix the problem, you'll need to edit the registry. Don't do this unless you feel very comfortable editing the Registry and be sure to back up your PC first.
Now, by default, PowerPoint does not compress pictures. If we want to enable compression, go back to the same registry key and change the value from 0 to 1.
TURNING OFF AUTOMATIC PICTURE COMPRESSION IN POWERPOINT 2013 & 2016:
NOW, LET'S TACKLE THE ACROBAT SETTINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED
Open PowerPoint or Word.
Now when you click the "Create PDF" button in the Acrobat menu, you'll get clear, sharp images in your PDF files. Note, using the "File / Save As" to save a PDF file will always result in blurry images. MS doesn't let you save high-resolution images in a PDF file for some reason (at least in Office 2010) even if you select "Tools / Compress Pictures..." and choose "Use document resolution". You need to make sure to use "Create PDF" in the Acrobat menu or "File / Save as Adobe PDF" if you want your images to stay un-blurry.
I've seen this issue all over the internet when I've searched for an answer. And it looks like it has been around for years. The only solution I've seen is to close the window pane in Windows. But what about for Mac users?
I just bought a new macbook pro. I had a 2011 macbook pro previously, with Acrobat Pro X. I backed up my computer in time machine, started up the new computer, and restored the old computer's data to the new one. Everything is the same and works fine except that I cannot save PDFs when I edit them. The only workaround I've found is to open a new folder, which I can "save as" to the new location, but then I can't save future edits there unless I send them to yet another new folder.
The error message is: "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
This is driving me crazy. Someone please help.
I have seen variations of this question but none with a resolution.
In Chrome I have the Adobe Icon that offers "Convert current Web Page...."
When clicked on a drop down offers Adobe Acrobat "Convert to PDF, add to PDF or visit Document Cloud".
This is different to the IE add on which works fine.
Selecting the Convert option results in the following error:
Conversion Failure
A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Install a free 30-day trial.
I have Adobe Reader DC and Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed, up to date and working in their own right.
HELP please!
In Acrobat Std XI I tried to use the first three items in Tools-Content Editing and get the following popup:
Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my document?
Hi, I am experiencing difficulty in the "Fill and Sign" feature within DC. I use the fill and sign to fill in and edit a form. When I nearing the end, I save and many times the characters in the form go missing, in varying degrees. This used to happen to me all of the time but now, more recently, has happened with the most recent update. Any ideas?
Hello,
My creative cloud Adobe Acrobat DC recently updated to latest version "Continuous release - version 2019.010.20069" (MAC user)
Previously, I was able to go to tools>create pdf from file --> choose the pptx file I wished to convert to pdf, it did it pretty quick and was generated correctly.
After the update, when I do the same action (tools>create pdf from file) and choose the file, it first uploads it to the Document Cloud, then converts it to pdf, and finally downloads it again. This takes really LONG to do (when it was few seconds before the update).
BUT the main issue is that now, when I check the pdf generated, the fonts are not the correct ones (it was working great before).
- Do I have any option on disabling the "Document Cloud" process so the pdf will generate in my computer as it was doing before?
- How do I manage to keep the fonts correctly in the resulting pdf?
Thanks in advance

Hello, thank you for helping me! I don't know how to write Adobe Pro form scripts at all but have been able to figure some of them out. How would you write this two scripts? And is there some place online I could work these out like a code generator or something?
Script #1:
If A is greater than B, then C equals A minus B
but
If A is less than B, then C = 0
Script #2:
If A is less than B, then C equals B minus A
but
If A is greater than B, then C = 0
Thank you for helping me!
I have a hard copy document that I want to scan to a pdf. However, the document has some red handwritten comments and some red circles around some numbers. Is it possible to create a pdf without the red notations?
