Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 and new MBP

In setting up my new MBP, I opted to not have the migration assistant bringover applications, just my home and network settings. I want to get universal binary versions of apps when available.
I went to install adobe reader (acroread) from the Adobe WEB site.
It downloads the installer package, which starts up and goes through the usual phases, at which point it decides an upgrade is in order, not an install.
The upgrade falls without anything informative or usefull.
It seems there's some state laying around the disk somewhere, preventing a full install. Using spotlight, I removed everything that I could find related to acroread, adobe, etc. plist files and the like. Didn't help.
Still digging, but I thought I'd toss it out.
Thanks

Out of curiosity, does Adobe Reader handle PDFs better than the Preview utility that ships with OS X?
I've never tried it on OS X.

I am using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a mac and I followed all the directions to copy an image but when I press paste only half of the image appears or it appears as an empty square. What can I do to fix this?

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

When I click PDF file, the file does not open and installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

Upgrading Acrobat Reader to Newest, or even Newer, Version

The version of Acrobat Reader I have is 5.0. I've tried downloading the new version, which is 9.0, several times. Every time it says it can't be saved to this computer and to check system requirements. My hard drive has 3.44 GB of space--I don't know what else they want. I thought maybe one version could not replace another version without upgrading in between, so I went to this page http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=macintosh&product=10 but as you can see the earliest version is 6.0.2 and it won't upgrade to that except from 6.0.1. I did fill out a support form but in case they don't answer, I don't understand their answer, or it doesn't work, I am posting here about what I should do. I've been afraid to just throw away the 5.0 and not sure it would work anyway. Is this what I need to do? Thanks for any advice.

Okay, I deleted Acrobat Reader 5.0 and it still wouldn't let me get Adobe Reader 9.0. That other page was no good as it was only updates for existing versions, not the versions themselves, so I went here http://mac.oldapps.com/adobe_reader.php and was able to get Acrobat Reader 7.0 and am now trying to download Adobe Reader 8.0.

New LaCie d2 Quadra and New MBP - Prompts to install Rosetta??

New MBP running Snow Leopard (2 weeks old) + new LaCie d2 Quadra 1 TB (2 days old). Just ran into a curious issue. I need some guru help. Plugged everything in and intended to do my first Time Machine backup. The LaCie set-up assistant causes this message to appear: "To open LaCie Setup Assistant, you need to install Rosetta. Would you like to install it now?" No I don't want to install Rosetta. Does this mean I need to format the LaCie external drive? I never had to do this on my old MBP or with countless other (older) LaCie drives. If I HAVE TO reformat the LaCie drive...ummm...could someone talk me through that process? Or point me to a page that gives a step by step guide? This should be easier. Thanks.

I concur with Roger... I have 3 d2 Quadras...
“...simply erase the d2 formatting it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility. Once done you have totally wiped it clean and reformatted... “
Have Never Used any Proprietary Software on any of my External Drives... and as a consequence have had NO Issues...
Cheers,

I cant find acrobat reader that will run on my MBP?!?

what am I doing wrong? I go to the acrobat download webage, download either of the available file formats, and they dont work??
help.

I just visited the adobe site and downloaded their latest acrobat reader, 7.08 and it works fine on my MBP, although the actual installation process is a bit untidy. Mac does leave a bit to the imagination with some of their install methods
However, after installing it, I find it works perfectly with no problems at all.
I just noticed that it is now called the adobe reader - they dropped the acrobat name - probably to avoid confusion with the one that also writes.
Go to:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
it works for me.
Another potential solution is ghostscript
http://www.ghostscript.com/
One advantage of ghostscript is that it reads many "locked" pdf files and can also edit and write pdf, unlike the adobe reader.
I have not yet tried this one on my MBP, but it works on my Linux and Winder boxes.

Acrobat Reader 10.0.1 and HP DesignJet 1055CM+ incompatibility

Hello -
I'm an IT administrator with my organization and we recently experienced a compatibility issue.
We have four plotters on our network, one of which is a HP DesignJet 1055CM+. We're currently running Windows 7 64bit on the machines that connect to the plotter over the network. This plotter seems to no longer be officially supported by the manufacturer under Windows 7, but Microsoft offers drivers from Windows Update.
Microsoft offers -
- PostScript drivers
- HP/GL2 drivers
For full flexibility in media handling in Autodesk products, we have installed the HP/GL2 drivers. (For the 1055CM+, this happens to be version 4.82 available from Microsoft.)
Now, on all the other plotters, Acrobat 10.0.1 can use the plotters fine (again, wih HP/GL2 drivers). However, in combination with the 1055CM, a bug was discovered.
BUG: Acrobat Reader 10.0.1 could not discover the correct paper size.
In the printer setup in the Printer Control Panel in Windows, we have ensured using HP's printer drivers that it is configured to use the media we wish to use, a roll of ARCH E1 sized (30 x 42) paper. We have also determined using Acrobat's advanced printer configuration window that the correct media is selected. However, on the main print configuration window, it automatically selects 8.5x11 media and ignores any other available size.
None of the other plotters (DesignJet 750+, DesignJet 800) exhibit this behavior.
Fix attempted: Update 10.0 to 10.0.1 - no change
Fix attempted: Update HP/GL2 drivers to version 4.84, available for Windows Vista - no change
Current workaround: Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9.x continues to work properly, so many of our users have been downgraded back to 9.4.2.
Another workaround: Some of our users use Bluebeam, and it continues to work fine with the 1055CM+.
Please respond if you can help.

Additionally... if printing is even attempted, nothing will print!

Acrobat Reader LE 2.5 and 10.0.245 difference?

The Acrobat Reader that came with the Anna update was 10.0.245 but the previous one was LE2.5, anyone know the difference? Using a C7. Thanks.

I do a lot of graphic design work which means I work with a lot of fonts, 4880 to be exact. Since 2005 I have found a number of fonts that simply quit working with Windows Vista vs XP 7 vs Vista, and even in Mac OS X from one build to another. It also happened with Software like Acrobat, Reader, TurboTax, Firefox, and Office.
It may just be that this particular font no longer meets compatibility standards for Reader X.

Acrobat Reader X Protected mode and DDE

Hi,
I have an acrobat reader plug-in that we communicate with using DDE commands (based loosly on the DDEserver sample from the SDK). However, it doesn't work in Acorbat Reader X Protected mode.
I've tried using the ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt method but to no avail.
Did anyone encounter this issue with plug-ins that uses DDE? Can anyone point me to solution or alternative way?
Thanks,
Yoav

Thanks for the reply.
IF the whitelist is indeed the correct way, i couldn't make it work with it. I must say that the documentation out there on the whitelist is far from being perfect. The closest thing I found was about namedpipes in the Broker log but nothing on DDE.
As for the license and developer support - The license was granted years ago and I'm not sure if developer support is still active for us. How do I check this?

Acrobat Reader 7.0.3 and xfa.host.exportData("",0);

I have a lot of forms that I have made with Designer 7.0. Each of them has 'Export XML' button that has the following code
xfa.host.exportData("",0);
So far people with Acrobat Reader clients have been able to export form content to XML file, but now it seems that after some update (7.0.3) this is no longer possible?
Is this really so?
Br,
Kari

Hi!
No, it is no so.
At least it works fine with my forms. I have trouble with the
xfa.host.importData();
which gives me an error message even though it works.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 and new Canon 9000F Scanner Not Working

Hi, folks I am pulling my hair out trying to get Acrobat to recognize the Canon 9000F scanner. I have downloaded the latest driver and still I am unable to get to see the darn thing.
The scanner works great in the Canon scanner software and other devices but not Acrobat.
When you go into Acrobat and do a Create a pdf and select scanner all are greyed out except custom and profiles, I have fiddled here with no luck.
I had a HP scanner before and all options where there and worked great.
Anyone know of any fixes for this?
Cheers

The scanner is just a few months old and it has never worked with Acrobat. The scanner works great with other apps like Photoshop CS5 as a WIA device, it also works in Windows native apps like the Windows Fax and Scan application but not under Acrobat 9.4.2. I use Win 7 64bit system.
There is the WIA Canoscan and a Canoscan 9000f listed and when you select either of these you get these messages.
also here is the twacker result with 2 entries

Moving Data Between PC and new MBP

I am capturing on a PC (TV Tuner) with files that are roughly 5GB in size, with events totaling as much as 50 GB. I am going to edit them in FCS on my Mac.
I was wondering if someone can suggest a portable HD that works on both reliably. I was thinking that I would want firewire 800, eSata, and USB 2.0 .
is there a better way to do this?

Most any USB or Firewire drive should work, but you would need to use either Fat32 or NTFS format as Windows can't read the OS X file system
If your router has a USB port and network drive capability, you might consider setting up a network drive, as you wouldn't need to keep moving it back and forth between computers.
You could also set up an external drive as a shared network resource on whichever computer it's connected to so it could be accessed from the other computer without actually having to move it.
