Adobe Reader 8.1.1 gives SIGSEGV when using -toPostScript option

We just upgraded our Adobe Reader (for linux) to version 8.1.1. Unfortunately, we found the program gives us a SIGSEGV when trying to
use the SIGSEGV. This only seems to occur when taking input from stdin; specifying a filename for PDF->PS conversion works fine.
Anyone else run across this particular problem or know of a fix for it?
I've seen it on both RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 and CentOS Linux 4 (which is just a rebuild of RedHat Enterprise Linux 4).

Hello John,
I guess you are doing something like "cat a.pdf | acroread -toPostScript" and getting the SIGSEGV. This problem (reading from stdin) has been fixed in 8.1.2 (available for download shortly).
Sincerely,
Neha

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

    Why does my Adobe Reader (10.1.3) freeze-up when I down load statements from some websites?
    When I down load statements from some websites, the pdf freezes and I get a message that the website is not responding and that windows is checking for a solution for this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I really like the Adobe Reader, but I need answers on why this is happening and how to fix it. AN AUTOMATIC UPDATE FROM 08/23/11 DOESN’T CUT IT!!

  • Adobe Reader XI will not give me any options to sign my documents

    Adobe Reader XI will not give me any options to sign my documents

    Are you in a company/enterprise where the installer was customized?  If yes, then your administrator may have disabled the Sign panel feature on the right hand side, however, signing a document should still be available in the Digital Signatures Pane on the left side via  a pop-up menu.

    Flash crashing when using Command + Option + S for Scale and Rotate?
    It's happening to me when I use those hotkeys
    Please let me know if it's happening to you too.
    I don't know the cause but I need a fix.
    I'm using Adobe FLASH cs6 for Mac
    My computer:
    Mac mini
    Mid 2011
    Software  OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)
    -Line

    With all due respect to your totally coindescending reply, this is a bug in Flash. Happens every 4-5 times I use that menu item. Been happening for months, but  we just installed a Brand new iMac (1/13). Quadcore 3.4 16G RAM and 1TB Fusion drive. Fresh install of CS6. Not running any other 3rd Party Software. Problem STILL happens in new Flash docs with small, simple vector Graphics.
    So instead of blaming the users computers, how about you guys just fix the effin' problem? Thanks.

  • Adobe reader won't recognise pdf file when downloaded

    Hi all
    Hope I'm in the right forum, if not would be grateful for correct re-direction ...
    I have a web site written in DWcs4 with a link to a PHP page offering a pdf document for download.
    The PHP code includes the "content-disposition: attachment " header in order to prompt the "view or save as" download box.
    When the link in the web page is accessed the pop up box asking to view or save the file works fine  (as desired) however when trying to view the pdf file,
    acrobat reader opens automatically but gives a message similar to the following :
    my_pdf(1).pdf is not an permitted file type or is damaged (for example sent as an email attachment and not correctly coded)
    Firstly I dont understand why the file reference has a (1) added to it (the source file is simply my_pdf.pdf)
    secondly I dont understand why the file is not recognised since I created it myself in Adobe 8.0 converted from a word doc.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Luv_craft,
    Have you tried to check to print with other PDF documents. Try open a different PDF document and check if you have option to print or you are able to see the list to choose the printer to print with.

  • Adobe Reader 9.4,10,11 crash when opening certain pdfs. Faulting module ntdll.dll

    We've started having issues with a certain type of pdf file crashing reader anytime it's opened. It will open fine about 1/10 of the time, the rest of the time it either straight crashes or we get a message that a drawing error occured and the pdf isn't rendered properly. I've tested with Reader 9.4, 10.1.2, 10.1.4, and the latest 11 release. I've tested under WinXP x86 and Win7 x64 with the same results. It does apparently open fine under Windows Server 2008 R2 but the issue is occuring on our desktops and opening from the server was only a test.
    I'm unable to share the pdf for others to research since it contains Protected Health Information. The pdf however does have a header with the patient info and then a graph similar to a EKG strip, the header always renders fine but when we get the error that a drawing error occured it's the graph thats corrupt. Sumatra/Foxit/Evince can open the document just fine. I've tried disabling every feature and plugin in Adobe Reader with no luck. I've tried to run the pdf through some tests and I did find there are 2 errors, both are "[error] Object shall end with 'endobj' statement" but I'm unable to find anything that can autocorrect the issue.
    We have thousands of those pdf's, they were ran through a Print 2 PDF converter (Win2PDF 7.0.46 - 2.6.7.1465.3 http://www.win2pdf.com) using pdf version 1.4. Anyone have any ideas on what else to try? I'm at a loss and I'd rather not have to install an alternate PDF reader on 6k workstations (although with all the headaches Adobe Reader has caused me that would be a welcome change).
    Jason

    I've tried Acrobat and it won't open the file either, same app crash in ntdll.dll. But I know what you're saying but I don't have the source documents to run through conversion with another application.
    I'm not sure how the process was performed but we had a vendor come in and convert all of our old clinical EMR data into PDF's and then index into OnBase. We are working with the vendor for a solution but so far they haven't found nothing. I recommended to them to update their Win2PDF program but I don't think thats an option on the thousand, if not millions of documents already converted.
    Why is every other PDF reader able to open the file except Adobe Reader?

    Thanks for the link, but installing the flash player and the newer version of the Reader [11.0.02] doesn't help. So I had to reinstall the X version to make things work. I want to make a bug report but the form isn't working either!

  • Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

    Hello Everyone
    I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
    All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Dave

    I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
    While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.

Maybe you are looking for
