Acrobat and Reader Version Issues

Hi,
I've created a PDF porffolio made up of several PDFs. When I view the PDF portfolio at the "top level" (where you see names of the individual PDFs on top of a window that looks like it should show the first page of the PDF) all it says in the window is "For the best experience, open this PDF porffolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later. However, I have Acrobat XI and am viewing it in Acrobat XI, so why am I having this issue?
I can at least open the PDF portfolio and all the PDFs inside. My girlfriend gets the same window when I try sending it to her and can't open the PDF portfolio at all andl she has Acrobat 11.0.3. Why is this happening to her?
Attached is a screenshot of my issue.
Thanks.

Yes, I guess I did. So I guess that's the issue. Thanks!
Since you seem to know Acrobat and Reader pretty well, I have two other issues I'm dealing with:
1.) I'd like to create a PDF portfolio of my graphic design work. In the past I've created a PDF portfolio and added other PDFs or jpegs into them with difference pieces of work. However, is it possible to create a portfolio where a multi-page PDF (within the larger portfolio) can be viewed in it's entirety (at the top level of the portfolio) without having to open the file? The idea would be that you would see one page of the portfolio with a piece of work, scroll to the right and see another, then when you get to the multi-page PDF if you kept scrolling right it would just take you through that entire PDF instead of having to open the file. Basically, what I'm trying to avoid is having to create jpegs of individual spreads of an InDesign file so they can be viewed seamlessly in a PDF porfolio instead of being able to drop in a multipage PDF. Let me know if you need clarification on this.
2.) Finally, when I've tried to re-order files within PDFs, I've occassionally had success renaming the files (ie 1.jpg , 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.pdf, etc) in the "display name" column under the Files tab. I once had success doing an "Initial Sort" for display name but other times it hasn't worked. Is there anyway to make re-order work consistently?
Thanks!

Acrobat 7.0.9 and Reader 9 - Issues opening PDF in IE6

I'm hoping someone can help. All our users have Reader 9 installed as part of the corporate image. Some of our users run Acrobat 7.0.9 as well. For those users, we are experiencing issues where when we try to open a PDF in IE6. We get the following error:
SW:iexplore.exe_application error - The instruction at "0x052f51b6" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "read".
I've opened Acrobat 7.0.9 and checked Edit, Preference, Internet. The option to untick "Display PDF in browser" is greyed out.
I've opened IE6 and gone to Tools, Manage Add-Ons and there is nothing listed for "Acrobat Control for ActiveX (pdf.ocx)" listed.
I've tried uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling. I've then also tried running a repair on both Reader and Acrobat, but nothing seem to be fixing the issue. This has only started happening since we upgraded Reader to 9 in our image.
Any advice on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.

From: <[email protected]> | Adobe STRONGLY recommends that you DO NOT not have Acrobat and Reader installed on the | same system. If you have just Acrobat installed, it will perform all the functions | Reader does and much more. Therefore, you should uninstall Reader, install Acrobat, and | DO NOT install Reader again. | Ken F. Not to mention that nobody should be using Adobe Reader v7.x do to all the vulnerabilities in it that are *actively* being exploited ! -- Dave

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
(Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful)

Acrobat and Reader XI freeze 3 secs after opening (force close needed). Win 8.1. Restart usually removes problem, sometimes repair.

Please help.
Running Adobe Acrobat and reader XI ( latest versions). PC is Lenovo ThinkPad 440 S. Don't think I've got any plug-ins that are affecting this, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed on PC, and I know this sometimes causes problems with some programs.
I can uninstall and reinstall either of the programs, and sometimes after a day or a week the problem returns. Restarting the computer will usually cause it to disappear for awhile and then it returns. The freeze is always the same, about three seconds after opening a document, it freezes and I have to close the program and restart the computer if I want the program to work again. I've tried switching off the security settings as suggested a number of websites, and this sometimes seems to help, but the problem nevertheless returns. I've got Acrobat on trial, and would like to buy, but I'm not going to do so and as this problem can be solved.
I've tried installing the programs multiple times, both clean install and repair and this doesn't stop the problem from happening, and it's happened over the two latest updates to the programme with no success. Out of interest, I've also noticed it doesn't always save my preferences between opening the program (e.g. page view preferences).
Many thanks for any input,
Jason Anderson

Hi Jason,
I would recommend you to do a selected startup and then enable the programs one by one to isolate which program might be causing this.
Please refer the KB: Restart Windows in a modified mode | Windows 7, Vista for selective startup of Windows.

Page Setup / Printing in Adobe Acrobat and Reader

Does anyone know why Adobe Acrobat and Reader don't retain page setup information from one document to the next? I constantly have to switch between two different paper sizes in page setup, because the information isn't retained by the individual documents.

I would suggest creating a second instance of the printer in Windows with tray 2 as the default tray - select that printer from Acrobat.
Control Panel > Add Printer > Create the Printer
Control Panel > Printers > Printer Properties

Acrobat and Reader XI getting "stopped working" error message when closing

Every computer running Windows 7 and Reader or Acrobat in our office is having an issue where the Windows error message "Adobe Reader/Acrobat has stopped working" appears as the user is exiting a PDF. It doesn't happen every time but it happens fairly often and appears to be happening on each of the 5 workstations currently running Windows 7 and either Acrobat or Reader XI. When trying to move the PDF into another folder after this happens an error message comes up stating that the file is currently open and can't be moved.

Hey emmaw7542582,
Could you please try installing Adobe Reader DC (the latest version) from the below mentioned link:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all version
Then, try opening those PDFs again and see if the same message appears.
If that does not resolve your problem, then please share the screenshot of the error message.
Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha

Acrobat X Reader / Pro Issue with Window border resizing / flickering

I have installed Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat X Reader on a new computer. This is the only program on my entire computer that has problems.
The problem occurs only with the menu bar (F9) displayed and when a PDF document is open.
When resizing the window of either Reader or Pro with a PDF open, there is a "flicker" where the program border rapidly flashes between showing the program border and hiding it. Turning off the menu bar makes the issue go away. Even though I turn off the menu bar, each time I open Acrobat Reader or Pro the menu bar is displayed again. I've completely uninstalled the software, used the Adobe Cleaner software, and tried installing a newer version (Reader XI). I still have the same problem. See a screenshot below.
Can you please provide some ideas of what could be wrong?

It turns out the issue was related to a bug in Kaspersky Antivirus 2015. The solution was to uninstall the current version and install a slightly older version 15.0.1.415 The flickering issue was solved.

Collision Acrobat and Reader

On my sytem there is XPP, Acrobat 5, Reader 9 and IE7. When I click a PDF file located somewhere on my computer it opens - as desired - in Reader 9. However, if I click a link in IE7 to open a PDF file online, it opens in Acrobat 5. But in most cases I get an error, because Acrobat 5 can not open PDFs created with new versions.
For compatibility reasons I have to keep the Acrobat 5
How can I "convince" IE7 / XPP to open PDFs online with Reader as well
Thanks for an hint

That's easy uninstall Acrobat and re-install Reader.
There are widely known issues with having Reader and Acrobat on the same Windows system. Adobe recommends you only have one, due to the issues having both cause.

Acrobat and Reader Conflicts

I have both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader installed on my computer. While I have read countless PDF documents using Reader, I am new to Acrobat. I purchased it to create forms for my business.
When I attempt to open Acrobat, the Acrobat icon displays in the upper left corner of the workspace, but expected tools on the toolbar of missing--despite checking the "View" Menu to be sure the appropriate selections have been made for the display. When I checked the "About" (under the "Help" menu), the software informs me that Reader is currently running--NOT Acrobat.
What's up?
Do I need to unisntall Reader?
Is this an uninstalled/re-install problem for Acrobat?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Please try making Acrobat as the default program for .pdf files. It should fix the issue for you.

Acrobat and Reader just hanging

I am having the exact same problem with Acrobat X, 9 and Reader (all of which have been respectively uninstalled to reinstall the next to see if the issue would stop). I open the software or a pdf file, it opens, the file is displayed and then I just get a spinning wheel for up to an hour.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted preferences, repaired permissions and every other suggestion that every forum I can find suggested. I have no plugins installed.
The softwares are obviously installed properly or they would never open at all. But even once the file is open and useable, if I close the program and reopen, it hangs again. Seriously, an hour of a spinning pinwheel on any file I attempt to open or even just opening the software from the applications folder.

nevermind- I accidentally had 41,000 fonts activated in FontExplorer

Acrobat and Reader 8. When trying to print, the memory could not be "read".

A user (without local admin rights) does a batch job from Microstation and exports all of his drawings to pdf. They open just fine in Acrobat 8 and Reader 8. When he clicks on the print button, he gets the below error. When I log in with local admin rights, I can print those exact pdfs just fine. Below is the error message/event log entry.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   He's running Windows XP SP3.

Click on OK to terminate the program

We tested with another non-admin account and Acrobat worked fine. Therefore the problem was within the user's profile. We just backed up his data, deleted his old profile and had him log back in. This created his new profile. Acrobat worked just fine.

Adobe Acrobat and Reader digital signature verification error logs

Can you help me how enable and where Acrobat 9.2 and Reader 9.2.3 error logs to analyse digital signature certificate revacation (CRL, OCSP)?

Hi Gatis,
Check out the Security and Digital Signature Admin Guide athttp://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/52658564/acrobat_reader_security_9x.pdf?v ersion=1
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/52658564/acrobat_reader_security_9x.pdf?v ersion=1
Once you get the file open look at section 5.3.4.4
The folder path has to exist, but Acrobat will create the file if it's missing. For example, if you want to save the file to C:\LogFile\digSigLog.txt the folder LogFile would have to exist on the C drive, but the log file itself will get created if it's not there already.
When you type in the file path and name in the Edit Binary Value dialog in regedit, make sure you null terminate the string by typing a zero at the end of the hex data on the left side of the dialog. It will look like a dot on the right side, but it's not really a dot (a dot is 2E in hex).

Acrobat (and InDesign) performance issues after virus

Hi everyone,
we have a problem with our system (spec listed below);
System
Dell Precision T7400
CPU(s): dual quad core Xeons
RAM: originally 2GB, upgraded to 4GB 1 day ago
OS: XP 32-bit
Adobe Software: Originally CS3 Suite, now CS5 Suite
Acrobat 9 Pro
Problem
Acrobat: 1. stutters slowly when scrolling, almost crashes
2. Takes 4X longer than before to "Reduce file size" for PDFs
InDesign: stutters slowly when working with text, almost crashes
Cause
Virus infultrated system about 1 month ago.
Attempts
1. Re-imaged disc and installed software based mirroring software with 2 extra backup drives: system still lags
2. Re-formatted, reinstalled: system still lags
3. Turned off mirroring: helped a little
4. Ran various memory, motherboard tests: nothing found
5. varified all BIOS and firmware up to date
6. Uninstalled mirroring software, installed hardware based mirroring software, reformatted, reinstalled: system still lags
7. Tried working with files directly from C:/ with no mirroring: system still lags
8. Installed fresh 4GB memory: system still lags
9. Have tried all methods of helping InDesigns performance but no luck.
Thoughts
Comparing this system to my old laptop (Centrino Dual Core), the laptop runs about 4X faster since the virus. Before the virus, this system was a dream to work with, super fast speed, never lagged.
I keep thinking that the virus must have damaged somthing on the motherboard, but error messages or motherboard beep codes.
Any other suggestions (short of shotting this system) would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it only happens with Acrobat and ID, it could be a faltering hard drive
As far as I can tell. Photolop and Illustrator work fine, haven't had time to try the rest of the CS5 Suite apps.
I've ran tests on the C drive (10k rpm) and the added 1TB drives. Same results for all; lag lag lag.

Adobe Captivate 5 published as pdf not displaying in certain versions of Adobe Acrobat and Reader

We have an issue where upon publishing files as a pdf in Adobe Captivate 5, they will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro (9 or 10) or Adobe Reader (11). However, they will open in Adobe Reader 10.1.4. I have searched up and down these forums and google, without any solid resolution for this issue. We are running Windows 7 64-bit machines. It should be noted, that if we publish as a exe, it works without any issues. See below for other threads with same issue (but no resolution), and a screenshot. Thanks!

Try this. Though the solution is for CP6, it might still work for you.

Acrobat X "Reader Extending" Issues

I have Adobe Acrobat X version 10.0.3.
I'm trying to allow Reader users to sign documents. I went File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF in Acrobat. Saved the document and it does not allow the user to digitally sign the document. It does allow them to fill out the form and save it. I can sign the form in Acrobat. The users are using Reader X 10.0.1.
I used Acrobat 9.4.4 to "Reader Extend" the form and that allows the users to fill out, digitally sign and save the form.
Is there a issue with Acrobat X?

Are you using Standard or Pro? Standard does not apply the digital signature usage right when Reader-enabling a document.
