Adobe PDF reader has no "go to page function" making it basically useless

I am a professional freelance musician of 20 years with 5 books/charts that I have to drag to many gigs. I thought I would take advantage of this incredible $150.00 offer to get the Touchpad worth hundreds of dollars more... It has essentially become a web browser for me... If you have to manually scroll through 400 or more pdf pages to get to the page that you need why even offer this as a functional reader? Also there is no search function which means in my case I have to print out the indexes of all my fake books and charts so I can get to the right page... Also, even if you do know the page number most of the time is does not coincide with the correct page number due to the introduction pages and indexes counting as pages 1 through whatever... My color nook does a vastly better job on the gig but the screen is so much smaller...... Can't adobe or HP fix this very basic problem with this reader?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

You can go directly to any page by tapping the page number up at the top of the screen. Also the page icon brings up a panel of thumbnails which also lets you navigate quickly. So while there may be faults to the Adobe Reader app, you certainly don't have to manually scroll through a document page by page. Maybe I'm not understanding your complaint.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

I get this error when trying to print from a website.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
You will be directed to a site where you can download
the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

Have you done ALL OF THIS?
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

I want to make a export to a pdf wich has to excluding blanc pages

Hallo
When you want to create a pdf without any blanc pages you can do this by using the printerinterface.
But now i want to do so this with the export to a pdf and i dont have this option
Sorry for my english

Hi Sukrit
            Thanks for your reaction
            The problem i have is the next one
            We are working with a web-2-print solution which is Indesign Server based
The version we use there is 5.5 at this moment and i will be version 6 soon
When the customer creates a new document the server will make a pdf using a distiller joboptions.
So any blank pages will be created also
I don’t have problems of deleting this using acrobat reader or professional
But the customer is afraid that his users will not do so
One of the solutions is that I let the system send the created document to my one email and make the correction and send
it then to the customer. But then they have to wait.
So I am searching for a solution in my document or in a distiller job
I hope you understand what I mean because my English is not so good as it shoot be
Kind regards

How do I display the web address within Adobe PDF Reader 10 & IE 9 64-bit?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter_1686a_10.11.11_7055 475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?

Adobe PDF Reader causing error in Windows 7

Greetings everyone.
I created a very simple VB.NET windows form application that only has one control, the Adobe PDF Reader. I created this project in both VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) and VS 2010 (.NET 3.5). My developer machine is XP SP3 32 bit. I experienced the same problem with version 8 and 10 of Adobe Reader.
When I compile the application and run the EXE file on my XP machine, everything is fine. I can see the form with the Adobe PDF Reader control. When I try to run the same program on our new Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit test machine, I get a generic Windows 7 error that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" and I never see the form.
Has anybody else had this experience with Adobe PDF Reader on Windows 7?

I appear to have found the solution to the problem RE AcroPDF.dll with Windows 7.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed on our Windows 7 test machine. I added Adobe Reader to the list of controls. When I tried to add the control to a form I got an error that said:
Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
When I researched this error in Adobe's forums, I found another user that basically said I needed to go to the Internet settings, under Preferences for Adobe Reader X, and make sure the box for Display PDF In Browser was checked.
After testing with my applications, this does appear to resolve the problem.
Let me know if anyone has any additional comments. Thanks for the help.

Print issue with Adobe PDF reader print in IE9

We are unable to print Brava PDF documents with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled in IE9. The same runs fine in Chrome with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled.
I noticed Chrome uses
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll, whereas IE9 uses-C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll.
Has anyone faced this issue?

Can you print other pdf files from within IE9? Can you download the files and print them directly from Reader on you computer? Please list the steps you are using to print the pdf from IE9.

In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
the playback wait.
var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
Playback.Wait(1000);
var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
return myPdFdoc;
hereIsmypdf.Back();
skinny_Will

Hi skinny_Will,
<<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
ExecutionThread.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.

Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi geoffubazi,
The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

Adobe PDF Maker has detected that document is protected. Could not create PDF using Pro

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and have just started recently using Adobe Pro to convert huge number of Microsoft Office documents into PDF.
I get this error when I am batch Processing.
Adobe PDF Maker has detected that the Document is Protected. It will be unable to create Tags,links and notes with protection on. Do you wish to continue and create PDF without Tags.
I click Yes , but still I do not see the PDFs created.
By the way where do i look for the failed documents . Is there any log file. Just to scroll down at the end of batch processing is time consuming.
Thanks for all your input.

There is typically a log file produced and located in the folder with the file I think (I don't run into the errors much and so do not look for the files). It is also possible you have turned off retaining the file.

Adobe / PDF Reader

Hi everyone!
I am looking for a free Adobe / PDF Reader for my
Nokia 3230. So far I used the demo version of PDF+, but since many useful functions in this version are disabled, I would like to use another more professional software. Does anyone know of such a tool?
A fellow student has a Nokia N95 with Quickoffice
Premier 4.5/5.0 and Adobe Reader LE 2.5 on it. Is it possible to copy those tools to my cell phone? How would
I have to do that?
Thanks.
swissline

According to your replies I would be better off not trying to copy the install files of Quickoffice Premier 4.5/5.0 and Adobe Reader LE 2.5 to my cell phone. Well then let us head back to my first question: Where can I find free
Adobe / PDF Reader for my Nokia 3230? Are there probably some PDF Reader built for other Nokia phones which are also compatible to a Nokia 3230 system?
Please help me.

cheers
Nexu 5

well its been sometime but i finally updated my firmware, the problem is, after reinstalling the backup, it seems to of created the fault again. its not being caused by the memory card as i cannot open the pdf app with it removed, so it has to be a buggy file i've installed to the phone memory? i've been through a lot of files using y-browser and deleted a lot of rubbish but i cannot find the problem? one thing i've found is i can open a pdf file if i navigate to it with y-browser and select open with the pdf app? i just cannot open it directly from the adobe pdf icon? does anyone know whats happened to the download link? i no longer can find it on the nokia site?

IWebBrowser2.Type="Adobe PDF Reader". What is the Document?

Hi,
I'm displaying a PDF within the ActiveX IWebBrowser2 container and looking for a way to access (parse) the text. When displaying Excel files, Type is "Excel" and Document is a Workbook reference. When displaying PDFs, Type="Adobe PDF Reader", but what is the Document? I've come across threads that suggest it might be of type IAcroAXDocShim or CAcroPDDoc, but when trying to use their methods receive "class not registered". Re: "class not registered", is it necessary to install Adobe Acrobat? Why? Reader is installed. Seems to me there ought to be a way to access the text with the tools at hand, no?
Any help is appreciated!

Adobe don't offer such a facility in their controls, not even with Acrobat. If you want to find out more about the very rich programming interface to Acrobat, and the tiny programming interface to the free Adobe Reader, you should download and install the Acrobat SDK - many thousands of pages of documentation and a few examples (for illustration, not cannibalism).

Thanking you

Unless you think it should be posted under "Games" or "beginner how to" !!! then it should remain here, not because you just jumped in with the freaky tools that has nothing to do with the original post !!!
I don't know why you want to keep with your non-sense language, but I will respect what your mind is set to.
Just a simple and last sentence from my side: Visual Basic forum is for Visual basic code issues
Hope you will be able to grasp it.
