Adobe Reader, MS Office window size changing when switching displays

I have a current generation (mid 2012) MBP with Retina Display running ML 10.8.3. I also have a Dell U2413 monitor, confgured for
1920x1200 resolution, connected via a Thunderbolt to Display Port cable that came with the monitor.
When I switch displays, Adobe reader, Excel, and Powerpoint all have their window sizes change dramatically. Reader
shrinks to just the status bar and is tucked in the very bottom left hand corner (it took me quite some time to even see it
was there at all); Excel windows expand dramatically to be much larger than full screen, and Powerpoint windows shrink
to about 1.5" square. Other windows (Mail, Chrome, Safari, iTunes) change or move slightly but are more or less OK.
I know this problem is expected when switching to an external monitor with dramatically lower resolution (e.g. old In Focus
projectors) but I don't believe it should happen with a hi-res monitor like the one I'm using.
I have compared this behaviour with other users running same SW versions and external monitors with the same
resoultion and they don't see this problem so I'm guessing there's some configuration option or low level setting
that is messed up.
These window size changes happen going both from internal to external and external to internal. Any ideas?

    I need Adobe Reader to remember window size and placement. I work on a remote desktop enlarged into two screens and i need Adobe Reader to open on one of them, but default settings open window in the middle of the screen so half of window is one one screen and half is on second one...
    Is there a way to do it?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader X and Windows 7 Enterprise Memory Leak

    Hi I am using Adobe Reader X with Windows 7 enterprise when reading a 8000 page document when I do a search I notice that the memory on my machine starts to creep up typically 1Mb per search this will continue to rise to over 300Mb as the document is used until it reaches a point that it freezes the machine, The only way to recover is Ctrl-Alt-Delete and cancel the task. Has this been observed by other users?

    Good day,
    Could you provide some additional details about both the file and your system's configuration?
    What version of Adobe Reader X do you have installed? (Help > About Adobe Reader)
    If you haven't updated to 10.0.3, please do so and see if the issue persists.
    How was the PDF file you're searching created?  (File > Document Properties > What does the PDF Producer line say?)
    Are you experiencing this with multiple files?
    Have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

  • Adobe reader not recognising paper size

    Using Adobe Reader 9 on Windows XP 64-bit
    When i try to print a pdf, the page size is not recognised so the printer always makes me manually select the A4 print tray.
    If i remember to, i can do a choos paper-source by pdf page size but this setting is never remembered.
    anyway i can get this setting to be permanently on?

    Actually, a quick test today shows neither color nor BW would scan the page to the correct size.
    Please help,
    Tony.

  • Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
    I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC.  There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size  is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
    Why does the image size change?
    I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
    Help!...Please?

    The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
    In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
    Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
    So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
    Now when exported it can be set to export at
    100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
    200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
    300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
    You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
    Hope that helps somewhat..

    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!!

    Just download Adobe Reader XI for windows 8.1,  it doesn't work.  My OS is Windows 8.1 64-bits.  Two dialogues appear as  1.) AcroRd32.exe Error, The instruction at 0x9068675f reference memory at 0x9068675f. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program.  2.) Adobe Reader ha stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution ia available.

    What is the Reader XI version you installed?
    Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself?  If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Does Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 support forms with auto calculation?

    I'm using a preformatted form that contains auto calculations.  When I use it on Adobe reader 11 on my laptop, it works.  However, when I use the Adobe reader app for windows eight the auto calculations do not work.   Is there anything I Can do?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) does not support JavaScript yet.   Thus, auto calculations or field formatting will not work.
    If your operating system is Windows 8/8.1 (Pro), not Windows RT, you can install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).
    If your operating system is Windows RT, you may want to try Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer by Microsoft) to see if auto calculations work.

  • Adobe Reader Enterprise for Windows Server 2012 (R2)

    Hi,
    I want to silently install the latest version of Adobe Reader on a Windows Server 2012 server. When I want to download the offline installer at http://get.adobe.com/nl/reader/enterprise/ I do not see Windows Server 2012 (and/or R2) listed. Is the offline installer supported for Windows Server 2012 and/or Windows Server 2012 R2?
    How can I get this to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Technical Specifications are here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html
    It doesn't mention Windows Server 2012.
    If this is for Citrix or WTS you should get a distribution agreement and then also get the Distribution version of Adobe Reader.

  • My font sizes change when I send e-mails from Apple Mail.

    My font sizes change when I send e-mails in Apple Mail.  Sometimes the font style changes, too.
    This is unacceptable, as I use my e-mail for business applications. 
    Any suggestions for a fix?
    Thank you.

    Before you do that I must warn you that also with PC is the same.
    It's not the hardware nor the software that makes the difference, because e-mail must obey to certain rules that is RFC.
    Maybe what you are looking for is a message that looks like a web page.
    You can find something of that kind here.
    http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
    But again, the recipient e-mail could have little differences from the original that depend on many variables
    If you are curious enough to know a little more about electronic mail you can read this page
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email
    P.S.
    IMHO you already have the best in Hardware and software. It would be a pity to give away that gem

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?
