Creating PDFs: Beginner Question

I do not understand the basic of Acrobat workflow.  When I first create a pdf file, I can type away as if I was with a word processor.  But as soon as I save the file, close acrobat and reload the file the next day for some reason any I can no longer type or edit any text.  What gives?  All I want to do is to continue to create the pdf file.  It's almost as if once you close a pdf file then become etched in stone as the Code of Hammurabi.  I want to just pick up where I left off.  I tried searching the forums and found a post that says: «do not change the file pdf.»  Find the original file and change this. "What is the original file?  I saved it as a pdf. Why is this so complicated?  I have always considered myself well with computers, until I embarked on the case of humiliating to try to use this thing called Acrobat, I probably invented by Carl Rove as an enhanced interrogation technique.  The great feats of mental acrobatics to take to succeed in this.  Someone please help me out here.

Funny post but I'm sure that it's not funny for you.

The reason that you saw mentioned to change the original is that, as the code of Hammurabi, PDF is supposed to be a final product. Acrobat was never intended for a page layout or word processing application. It is intended to give you the ability to create PDF files from your applications so that people without apps can view and print the way you intended.

The new Acrobat gives you an option to create a new file and do a few simple typo but, there a lot to debut and again, it was never intended to replace a publishing computer or word processing application.

  • Create PDF from a web page to backend

    Hello, this is my first post on the Adobe Forums

    I'm trying to get a screenshot of a web page using Adobe get 'create PDF from Web Page' However, I can't understand how to capture a page after that I logged on the site. I thought that Adobe Acrobat would recognize that I had connected from Internet Explorer, or my default browser.

    I get the login page of Wordpress. I need to be able to see the dashboard. Find a solution to this will help me to find solutions to my other questions of web capture.

    Kind regards

    This is a limitation of the use of this method. One solution is to print to PDF from your browser once you have the page you want to load, but I don't know if this is acceptable to you.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I found an online reference to an ioerror + error pdfmark dealing with Document Structuring Conventions, thereby disabling DSC may be worth a try; in years past by DSC parameters have been a source of considerable pain of distillation.

    I think you said that you have an Acrobat installation and not only the one that comes with FM (?), I use Acrobat 9, so I don't know if the menu items are going to be the same in your Distiller or not, but open Distiller, go to settings and then click on "Edit Adobe PDF settings."

    Question: What are the settings joboptions are you using - high quality printable or...?

    Then click on settings and look for the entry that is similar to 'Edit Adobe PDF settings' which should bring up a dialog box similar to the one below:

    Click Advanced, and check if the DSC is turned

    Assuming so, uncheck it. Then do OK and when the Save dialog box appears to save it under a new name (NoDSC.joboptions or otherwise).

    Now, try to create the .ps and pdf, ensuring that the joboptions NoDSC are used when distill you.

    How do you create PDF files?

  • Word created PDF files with unwanted fonts included.

    When I create PDFs from Word, both policies appear to be included as being used, Times New Roman and Times New Roman Bold.  They are not marked as being included, is just used.  This causes programs to reject PDFs as not being is not complete.  I installed Word to include (embed) all fonts which makes very large files, but noticed both still are not getting 'integrated '.  How can I fix it?  I am trying to export pdf files, but they will not allow the receiving system.

    I came across the problem to run Word 2007 on Windows Vista.  I also found the same problem on Word 2013 under Windows 7.

    I solved the problem by installing a printer (www.cutepdf.com) .pdf.

  • Cannot create PDFs in Google Chrome

    Whenever I try to create a PDF file of the Acrobat plugin in the browser Chrome, after selecting the save location, it will get stuck at "download for Conversion...". "on the first try after turning on my computer.

    It just hangs there, and then I have to put an end to the Acrobat plugin in the Task Manager to get it to stop listening.  Yet another attempt will not work, and I have to finish the plugin in force once again.

    The plugin will start to work if I use the option 'Print' normal in Chrome and select Adobe PDF printer once.  Then when I try the plugin Acrobat in Chrome, it will start to work.

    Is there a way to prevent this, so that the plugin Acrobat in Chrome works every time after start/restart of the computer so I can't go through the extra steps?

    Hi Thomas

    It is a known issue and we are investigating it.

    To work around the problem, you can create a PDF of some Office file or web page of Acrobat via file > create > PDF of the file before you start the conversion of Chrome or print to the Adobe PDF printer.

    This is required only once after system reboot.

  • Create PDFs in Word 2016 (feature is no longer available)

    Currently using Adobe DC Pro v. 2015.017.20053 and Microsoft Word for Mac v. 15.25. Very recently, there was a Ribbon "Acrobat" in the toolbar to create PDFs from Word, that kept the existing links in the document. (In fact, this is precisely why I bought a subscription to Adobe DC!) Then, it became grey, and even when I tried to create PDF documents to go file Word in Adobe DC, links had not been kept.

    I chatted with the support, which was told to delete all files in Acrobat to my application support and preferences files and uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat. Now, the Ribbon is not yet there in Word, and when I start it, it displays the error "compilation in the hidden module error: 'link'.» This error often occurs when the code is incompatible with the version, platform or architecture of this application. »

    Help, please!
