Batch processing of metadata in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I need to add a title to the metadata for 435 separate PDFs.  I used the "batch processing" in Adobe to do this before, but I can't figure out how do it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  Can someone advise?

Create a new action, add the command Add Document Description (sub

Tools) and a Save command. The settings you want and then run it

Action on your files/folders.

  • How to set up Adobe Acrobat Pro XI action batch process runs in the background as in previous versions

    On Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, the batch of stocks does not work in the background.  Each document is processed back Adobe to the active window.  In previous versions, the action/batch has always run in the background.  During the processing of 1000 files, it is very annoying and time consuming.

    I looked at a multitude of settings and tried various open and save options. Nothing do.

    Has anyone found a way around that?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. I have found that on Windows you can kind of get around that by reducing the window of Acrobat using Win + D, but this is hardly a good solution. Acrobat is simply not built for the treatment of large quantities of files, even if it has the functionality of the wizard of the Action...

    If you need to do this, then you should look for a more robust tool.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - grey text properties bar

    I saw this question several times when you are looking for a response, but none of the solutions have worked for me. I have been using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (15.4) for months to edit and comment on PDF documents that I printed and then saved as a PDF file to an online mapping system. Until today, I was able to use the shortcut CTRL + E to bring up the properties toolbar and change the properties for the text boxes, call outs etc., including the font properties. It is in mode 'Commentary'.

    I am now only able to change the properties of a text box - if I select the text itself all the properties in the toolbar are greyed out.

    I tried:

    • Closing and reopening the program
    • With only a single document at a time
    • Ensure the document is not read only or PDF/A
    • Ending the process of "acrotray" (I think that's what it was called)
    • Opening of a previous document when I was able to change the font properties - can do it on any document, old or new, now
    • Checking the properties are not "locked."
    • Verification I have user rights on MS Edge (the mapping system used only works on here, not IE)
    • Updates of the program

    A point that is no accident, that's when I started this work several months ago I set all of the default values that I need them and them have not changed at all, until last week. Doubtful that it is causing the problem but worth a mention anyway.

    Help, please! I need to solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE in order to do my job!

    Thank you!

    Hi all

    We have released an update today which solves the problem of the properties toolbar and now you can continue to use it outside of the app commenting as well. Please open Acrobat or Reader DC and visit help > check for updates to ensure that you are on the latest patch.

  • Rotate multiple pdf/a using Adobe Acrobat Pro files

    I have about 100 pdf files that I need to rotate to the left by 90 degrees.  I assume that many, if not all of them are stored in PDF/A format, aka PDF / Archive mode.  I have a workflow for rotate pdf/a files using my copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9 however, the workflow I have is quite heavy.

    1. Open the pdf/a file in Adobe Pro 9
    2. Go to advanced->->-> pdf/a preflight remove pdf/a.
    3. Save the pdf file - so that is no longer in pdf/a mode.
    4. Reopen the pdf file.
    5. Now Adobe turn let us the document under him-> turn the Page.
    6. Save the PDF - technically this should be saved as a pdf/a again.

    Issues related to the:

    1. This workflow works to run a single pdf/a document.  However, it is rather bulky.  Is there a quicker way?
    2. I have seen some indications that it is possible to run several PDFs 90 degrees to the left at the same time.  However, it will work for pdf/a documents?  This feature is also available in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Version?

    Thank you

    You can use a sequence of batch job to do this.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - print to PDF-broken

    Hello. I have recently noticed a problem with the printer driver PDF Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Print all PDF functions seem to be broken.

    Web browser applications:

    Firefox (my main web browser), the print driver invites you to me which file I want to save the PDF and then the status bar for the printing/conversion process will reach 50% and display the title of the error message dialog box: error in the printer. Dialog box Message: an error occurred during printing.

    In Chrome, the print job to tempt me to a file name and after I click on 'Print', nothing would happen. No error message. No PDF file is created.

    In Microsoft Edge, the same result as directed by Chrome. No error message. No PDF file is created.

    In Adobe Acrobat Reader DC:

    Print results Adobe PDF printer in two error dialog boxes, "the document could not be printed" followed by "it has not chosen to print pages". This is despite the fact that 'All' has been selected as an option in "Pages to print" in the print dialog box.

    In the Office Applications:

    Same results according to the Chrome and Microsoft test Edge. No error message. No PDF file is created.

    In other applications:

    Thunderbird translated "an error occurred when printing"

    Notepad translated "the handle is invalid."

    The last time I could print to PDF with success was before Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and Windows 10 upgrade (from Windows 7 Ultimate).

    I tried a "repair Acrobat Installation" under the drop-down help Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and despite an attempt to repair under the administrator account, it has not solved the problem.

    I do not experience these symptoms on my 3 Surface Pro, which is also running Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and Windows 10 (upgrade of Windows 8.1).

    Is anyone else facing similar issues on Windows 10? I noticed another thread on a broken print in PDF format, but that one seems to be content to users of Windows 7.

    Any idea or advice would be much appreciated.

    I had the same problem. Using Procmon and found that install Acrobat was written to the registry entry to distill 11 but distill has been reading the registry entry for Distiller 10. Basically, I used regedit, exported HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\11.0, opens the file in Notepad, changed all 11 in the tens, then imported. Worked perfect after that.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - environment in offline mode

    I'm trying to stop Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to invite the user to turn on a computer that is not on the network. I packed the application that deploys the computers/laptops on our network successfully. I did the same thing successfully for all our creative Cloud applications. This computer was originally on the network, but now has been designated in an offline environment. However, the 30-day license check must be disabled.

    I went through the process of 'Offline Activation' twice and the two attempts, I was able to generate a response from Acrobat Pro however, Code when I return to the client PC with Adobe Acrobat Professional XI, I get an "Invalid" response code error

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/Acrobat-offline-activation.html

    If someone could give some tips/advice, I would greatly appreciate that.  Thank you.

    Armelle,

    You must use the creative cloud package which you can download on your site Licensing.

    With the creative cloud conditioner, you can create a license file for Acrobat with the serial numbers of Web site licenses.

  • Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI break with a PDF to fill several pages

    I'm working on a project at work, on a Dell E6420 (Windows 7 Pro, 8 GB of Ram, Adobe Acrobat Pro XI), involving files PDF fillable. This means that a program takes excel data and converts it into several pages of information of fillable PDF to the screen used to auto fill in other servers. The problem is that when we convert about 10,000 rows of data (1000 + pages) the file will convert, but not open. The CPU fan turns, but nothing appears in the Task Manager, no errors are produced, nothing. The cpu hits 100% treatment, the fan turns and then winds down and the file never opens. I know that is not the corruption of data that I can take the same excel file, split in two, convert the two files, and I can open each created PDF file (about 790 pages each) separately. It will not now then, open both files at the same time. We tried this on multiple computers, with more than enough processing power, so we do not think that it is a matter of systems, but a limitation of the Adobe program.

    I researched that Adobe has a 2 GB limit on the size of the file? These files are spell to 790KB - 1000KB in size, but are filled with fields to fill in, so I think it is misleading. Any ideas? I am desperately looking for help on this.

    Here's a solution, and if anyone can explain why, I would like to know if its something Adobe can update/fix.

    By unchecking "Enable Adobe JavaScript" I was able to get the files to open. So, apparently it is a resource or a similar limitation when using Adobe's JavaScript on the forms to fill out? Is turned off, it opens without a problem. Can someone help explain this?
