Anyone else having trouble with creating/appending a webpage from browser to a PDF.
Typical problems:
- firefox crashes during creation
- Creation popup window keeps running with no progress
- Error popups "DDE unable to communicate with Acrobat"
- In ability to capture Web pages that have JavaScript
( The most frequent language on the web; Acrobat has JS built in )
When this happens, I stop having the browser append the page,
and instead request the page be appended from Acrobat.
Serious Flaw: If the page I'm viewing was arrived at by Single Sign On
to the site, Acrobat will only collect the signon redirection page.
That is why appending the page from a logged in browser is important. - Most annoying: Acrobat does not remember the name of the last PDF used.
It always truncates the name into something unusable.
I have to ALWAYS find the last PDF I was writing to for a new "Append" request - Acrobat becomes non-responsive when DDE connections fail.
It means I cannot launch Acrobat at all ... even for different pdf files.
Solution: Task Mugger and kill the running Acrobat processes.
I have several Acrobat dmp files ... I opt-in to "make Acrobat better" ... is Adobe
getting these crash failures? Something more I have to do at my end?
As far as I can tell by dates, the crashes had nothing to do with Task Manager kills.
I see the same problems in both Win7 and Win8.
Acrobat X worked much better ... but the plugin was only available for Internet Explorer,
so I upgraded to XI.
Super annoying: Adobe does not appear to ever have tested appending from a
browser to a PDF that was just created. It always presents a corrupted filename
for selection.
My Solution:
Create an entirely new directory
Place the pdf I want to create there as the only file
When Acrobat "forgets" the filename, it does still remember the directory
and I don't have to search for the PDF I want to append to.
It still is an additional keystroke to select the file ... which really slows me down.
Please fix these things. Or do I have to wait for XII version to get any fixes?
I am using Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.06
