Acrobat reader X with thunderbird under windows 2008 server

Hi,
i use acrobat reader X under windows 2008 R2 . My Mailclient is thunderbird.
I get an error when trying to send an E-Mail. "Acrobat could not get a connection to your e-mail programm".
I defined thunderbrid as the standard mailprogramm under START->CONTROLPANEL->STANDARD-PROGRAMMS
I already tried to google the solution, but the only one i found was for Windows VISTA and Windows 7. There, you have not only to define the STANDARDPROGRAMM, you either need to make a change on "default programms and computerstandards" which is missing in windows 2008 R2
Can anyone please tell me how to use acrobat with thunderbrid in a windows 2008 environment????
Thank you

Hi Michael,
sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll post my question to the Reader board ...
To answer your question. That was my idea too, but it is not possible to copy a whole profile. They are a lot of other problems if you do that. I didn't find the settings only. may it would be enough to copy the settings for the reader.
Best Regards,
Markus

Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?

Hello,
I am new to my job working with a ASP application that provides a PDF form (created in Acrobat 5) to users with free form fields the user can fill out. Users have been complaining that when the users upgrade to Acrobat Reader 9 the begin to see a message that "Some features are no longer supported..." and the ability to save a local copy of the file is no longer available. I have 2 questions.
Was the ability to save a local copy of a form with user-entered data ever a feature of Acrobat Reader?
Is that an issue that can be corrected by creating the form with the Acrobat 9 Life-Cycle engine or is that a feature that has forever been removed from Acrobat Reader for security or other reasons?
Thanks in advance!

No I was referring to filled in forms.
So to be clear, the ability to save user filled in information in a form to your local machine as a PDF through Acrobat Reader IS possible, but has to be enabled by opening the form in Acrobat (9 for example) and enabling some feature to allows Reader users to save the information to the PDF file. This feature is limited though and has a 500 use limit per form.
Does that sound correct? Do you know the name of the feature?
Thanks!

Subject: Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?
There may be some features that are not supported any more but you may not be using them. That message is just a general warning.
As far as saving the filled in form, Reader on it's own has never been able to do it. You would need the newer version of Acrobat to open and enable these forms so that Reader users can save them. Be warned that this feature is meant for small-time use and has a usage limit of 500 submissions per form. You'll want to read and undestand the EULA before planning on using it.
Or do you mean that they cannot save the unfilled form either?

Acrobat Reader X - Red window!

Hello! I've recently installed Acrobat Reader X and noticed that whenever I open the program, an ADOBE READER X red window is displayed on the screen. This window displays "Open a Recent File" and "Acrobat.com Services" but I would rather not have it as I prefer to use the Menu options. Please let me know how I may stop it from popping up, thanks. I would also like to point out that the icon "Save file" does respond to the click of the mousse. In order to save a file I have to go to the File menu and choose the "Save As" option, whereas in previous Acrobat Reader versions I was able to do so! Your guidance would be appreciated. Regards, João Carlos

I have some PCs when opening a PDF in IE, Adobe reader x opens with this red screen, other PCs you do not see reader open? what setting do we have set to not open reader in foreground?

Acrobat 9.5 with windows 8.1

anyone have any issues with acrobat not working on windows 8.1

AA 9 is not certified for Win 8.1, but I thought some folks had gotten it to work. I assume you are using a 64-bit system, since that is where a lot of the problems crop up. What issues are you having. Be as specific as possible and include screen shots when possible.

Acrobat 9 Products with Windows XP Media Center 2005

Hello,
I'm wondering if any users are running Acrobat 9 Standard or Pro on Windows XP Media Center 2005. I'm currently annotating pdfs for a client but was leery of purchasing Standard or Pro because Media Center is not mentioned under the System Requirements for these products (only Windows XP Home, Professional, and Tablet PC editions are listed). So I had my client enable the pdfs for annotation and then send them to me. I began annotating them in Acrobat Reader 9. This worked for less than a day, and then when I reopened the documents, I received a message saying "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available." The Comment & Markup toolbar and the Comments option under Documents have disappeared, and I can no longer make changes to the documents.
Do other users have issues with Standard, Pro, or Reader operating on Media Center? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It will work on either of those operating systems.

Acrobat reader crashes with C++ runtime

When i downloaded Acrobat Reader 9 i am getting a C++ runtime error. The problem happens because we are redirecting the Application Data on all of our machines. If i temporally map application data to c:\whatever it does not bomb out with the C++ runtime error. I can not stop the redirection because in our environment we use citrix and we want the users experience on the citrix servers and there desktops the same. Has anyone else seen this and is there a fix.
Thanks,
Ryan Burney

This has been going on for ages. From my understanding v9.0.0 has an issue running on a domain with redirected folders, in particular the appdata folder. For some reason, if this folder has a UNC path not a drive letter then version 9 (Reader and full version) crash on launch. There have been a number of posts around the web about this since v9 came out. I'm surprised that Adobe havent sorted this out, cant be that hard a fix and I would assume that Adobe corp HQ run a windows domain with folder redirection in place
We're still running 8.1.3, and waiting patiently for 9.0.1

Acrobat Reader crashes with patch 108652-40

Hello,
I just installed Solaris 8 on a sun4u machine. After that I installed the recommended patches cluster. When trying to start Acrobat Reader 4.05 the CDE session crashes. After deinstalling the patch 108652-40 Acrobat Reader is working well again. Any hints where this behaviour comes from or what to do?
TIA

Acrobat Reader upgrade prevents Windows 7 64-bit Explorer preview

I recently upgraded my Acrobat Reader on 64-bit Windows 7 to Adobe Reader XI. Now my Windows Explorer preview pane no longer shows previews of PDF files. The most relevant hit I found online was
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/file-cant-be-previewed-er ror-in-the-pdf-preview/369f87c0-303b-4d74-975f-76cddab9e5b1,
which points to a registry fix at
http://www.fixya.com/support/t5352123-error_in_pdf_preview_handler_vista.
However, my registry already already contains the corrected value. This same fix is provided at Adobe as recently as 13 June 2013:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1231685
I suspect that the most recent Reader update requires a different preview handler fix.
Thanks if anyone can provide a fix for the current Reader.

It is an empty preview except for the message "This file can't be previewed."
However, I think it is a temporary problem from the update. After logging out of the normal account so that I can check whether the problem exists with the admin account, I logged back into the normal account and found the problem gone. No reboot, just log out and in again. Which is odd when you consider that, prior to see the problem, I was in the admin account for the upgrade, and logged out in order to log in to the normal account (at which time I saw the problem).
Thanks anyway!

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.
