Acrobat 9 Pro (More) Problems

1) I use bookmarks and hyperlinks in my Word 2003 documents. Even though the style in Word shows these hyperlinks as black, no underline, etc. (no special formatting), SOME (not all) of them show up as blue text in the PDF. I have to look for them and then use Text Touchup to change them to black. Is there a setting I should be using to avoid this?

2) When we ran Acrobat 8 Standard, I could use the Text Touchup tool to make minor text changes in most PDF files. Now that I have Acrobat 9 Pro, even changing just a single letter makes text all over the page shift wildly, making Text Touchup useless. Have other users run into this?

In answer to (2): in Acrobat general preferences, touchup, try disabling text word wrapping.

THANKS!

Now here's another one. Today when converting a Word doc with varying page sizes/orientations, for SOME (again, not all) pages, Acrobat did not recognize the variations. Pages that should have been 11x17 portrait turned out 8.5x11 landscape, etc.

While the default Word template in use may not have Style "Hyperlink",
when Word's Hyperlink feature is used Word adds a default "Hyperlink" Style
to the Word document.
This default Style's description: Default Paragraph Font + Underline, Font color: Blue

I suspect you have got some of this floating about in your Word file and, in some content locations, enough is "showing" to PDFMaker for it to be processed.

Be well...

I could use help on the problem of the touch-up text tool creating havoc with the spacing on the entire document after saving to PDF again. This is a nightmare for large contract documents that need minor touches and the result is a completly corrupt PDF.

I have tried with/witout word wrap-still can't use touch up succesfully. Before the changes are implemented through touch up text the warning box appears about fonts not matching, but the PDF was created with Word 2007 by Adobe Acrobat 9.

Need to know if this is a known issue because our company needs to address asap; tier 2 techs had no idea what the problem was or how to fix it.

Thanks,
