Document freezes when scrolling with small black window.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.1 on Microsoft Windows Vista service pack 1.
On many documents downloaded from the web (eg many academic journal articles) a small black rectangle appears in the lower right hand corner of the acrobat window. The rectangle is black, has a red circle with a white cross on the right hand side (looking like a quit button?), and a progress bar, which fills up with a light blue colour, and words below.
The words progress through:
Deskewing Image...
Rotating Image...
Decomposing page...
After which the rectangle disappears. There may be words before or after that are too quick for me to see.
The rectangle appears at the end of a scroll operation, either by dragging with the hand tool, dragging the scroll bar, or even just using the up and down arrow keys. However, it may not happen if the scrolling movement is short. It also occurs immediately after I change any of the preferences.
I have not seen this happen on any documents that I have made myself (by printing to acrobat from Microsoft Word).
I originally had this problem with version 9.0. Upgrading to 9.1 did not fix it.
When a friend views a document that has this problem on my computer using Acrobat 7 the rectangle does not appear at all and the document scrolls normally.
I am guessing that this is something that could be turned off in the settings. I have not been able to find the setting because I do not know what this "feature" is called.
Google searches for terms such as <"deskewing image" "decomposing page"> does not reveal anything, nor did a forum search here for "decomposing"
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

I have the exact same issue, using Adobe Acrobat Pro v 9.0.0,
the difference is it happens for any document, whether I've made it myself or not.
I generate PDFs all the time from CorelDraw X4 and have to open and check them.
The pause whilst it undergoes the messages Steve described is very annoying.
I read online that removing the three "Reader" plugins from the Programme Files folder might help.
I tried that and it did not help.
Below is a screen capture of the problem highlighted in a red outline:
Thank you,

  • While surfing a small black window opens up with the firefox header and i cant close or minimize it

    When i browse the internet a small black window opens up in the bottom right corner that i cant close or minimize and it has the firefox header. It came up randomly and I dont use many addons. What can i do?

    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • When I open Nightly all I get is a small black window that says close firefox

    I have Nightly installed on a laptop using Windows 7. I have been using it for nearly a year. This afternoon, when I tried to open Nightly, all I got was a small black window saying "close firefox." I used Chrome to get on the web, downloaded the most recent version of Nightly and tried to open it. Same thing happened. How do I get Nightly back?

    Any particular reason that you use the ''(sometimes unstable)'' Nightly version, rather than a stable Release version of Firefox?
    Nightly isn't intended to be "used", but rather for users to help the Mozilla developers by "testing" each new build and then reporting any Bugs or 'glitches' they may find. Nightly is between 12 and 18 weeks from the release of a new version of Firefox - the Alpha 1 stage which is 6 weeks in duration.

  • After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

    After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
    Greetings,
    Daniel

    If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it.  No guarantees, but it may help.  For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
    There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that.  AE wasn't.

  • How to remove a small black window that appears on the upper right corner of my iMac and covers everything behind it every time I open iPhoto?

    Every time I open iPhoto on my iMac a small black window appears in the upper right of my desk top and covers everything behind it, including iPhoto. The window says "Blocked Plug-In". I cannot move it, delete it, force quit it, etc. I have quit iPhoto, but the black window remains. I have restarted and shut down the computer, but when I open iPhoto the black window comes back. I have right and left clicked on the black window, but I cannot get rid of it. How do I stop the black window from appearing on my screen?

  • Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM (and other apps) - Both applications freeze and never come back...

    We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
    MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
    We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
    Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.

    I am experiencing this same issue with
    Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
    resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
    issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
    reproduce it every time.
    The message I get is "waiting on application under test".

  • 30EA3: Monitor sessions grid freezes when scrolling lo last session

    Hi,
    I've found an issue with the Monitor Sessions grid.
    Steps to reproduce the problem (scenario I have tested an reproduced the issue)
    1. Open monitor sessions window
    2. Order the grid by "OS User" column (In this scenario, my "OS user" is the last one alphabetically)
    3. Scroll down in the grid, until reach the last record (as mentioned above, the last session is the same session that is monitoring since my user is the last one alphabetically)
    Then SQL Developer freezes, processor time and memory start to increase; and also, seems that SQL Developer window is trying to get the focus, so it doesnt let me navigate freely to other applications, is even difficult to open task manager to kill the process since SQL developer window in the background keeps getting the focus of mouse and keyboard.
    Thanks and regards
    Ramiro Teran

    Hi Raghu,
    1. As I mentioned, the scenario I tested was the "Monitor Sessions" grid, at first I only tested scrolling down to the last record, in the master grid using the mouse wheel, but now I have also tried crtl+end, and it also happens
    2. 184 records in parent grid (Sessions)
    3. The child grid is the "Active SQL" tab (first tab) of the detail of the session.
    4. Yes, there was a cell in master selected, but when scrolling down and reaching the bottom (or doing ctrl+end), then the last cell is selected automatically, and SQLDeveloper freezes.
    As mentioned in my first post, the SQLDeveloper not only freezes, but doesn't let you navigate to other windows (every couple of seconds SQLDeveloper gets focus on its window, even though is frozen)
    I have took an screenshot showing the issue, even though, maybe you can't appreciate the issue on an image, since the image only shows the last record of the monitor sessions grid selected, (at that time SQL developer is hanged, and doens't respond to clics or keyboard comands). Also it shows the Task Manager showing increased memory and CPU ussage from the SQL Developer process. If you're interested in this screenshot, let me know where/how to upload it
    Thanks and Regards

  • Adobe Reader 10/10.1 document error when scrolling in IE

    I have Adobe Reader 10 installed on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7, both with Internet Explorer 8.  On XP, no problems.  However, on Windows 7, some documents (those with multiple pages and multiple fields) get " Document error 118"  when scrolling past one or two pages.  I have tried  this with Reader 10 and 10.1, same results on both platforms.  All documents are on our intranet.  Unfortunately due to some important external sites I cannot set "View PDF in Browser" to off, which solves this problem.
    One additional note, the website we use (again, it's internal/local domain) shows as a trusted site in the IE notification bar at the bottom, however when a PDF is open from that web site the URL shown is part of our domain but the IE windows shows it as an unknown zone....

    I am having exactly the same problem. I am using Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it is getting very frustrating.

  • Remote console session freezes when scrolling

    My host: Laptop running Windows XP SP3.
    Guest: Windows 2008 R2, physically on a USB hard drive.
    My VMware server version is 2.0.2.
    I have ongoing problems with the host session freezing up. I have had this problem intermittently while working in MMC on the guest, or consistently in MS Excel 2008 on the guest. Because I can consistently reproduce the problem in Excel, I'll focus on it. The session will freze simply by selecting a cell, and then dragging down to select multiple rows of cells. If I exceed the number of rows visible, the Excel session should scroll down. Instead, the entire session becomes unresponsive. I can not move the mouse pointer or switch or any other applications in the remote session. My only option is to shut down the virtual machine and restart it.
    I have also had the same problem when navigating MMC. The entire session will sometimes freeze after I click the plus sign to open up an item.  In this case, I have not yet identified under what circumstances the "freezing" occurs.

    I am experiencing what I think is the same issue. However, my vmware tools (seem) up to date (declared version is 7.7.6, update option is inactive), and there is no svga driver under c:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers (there is one in c:\program files\vmware\vmwaretools\drivers\video though).
    The VM freezes after scrolling up/down in notepad++ , exact conditions are hard to define, but usually after 2 minutes of editing a text file a freeze is guaranteed. Only way to recover is a reboot of the VM (a shutdown never completes). Help appreciated.

  • IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

    This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
    Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
    Here is what I have tried:
    • All software updated
    • Ipod was reformatted and restored
    • iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
    After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

    It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
    I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
    I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
    I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
    Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
    im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Itunes 11.1.4 freezes when syncing with iphone

    Hello Zach,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message when connecting your phone after a recent update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get a resolution:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with the first steps to test iTunes in Safe Mode, and if needed, there is additional troubleshooting therein.
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • [JS CS3] Frontmost document/selection when other with same name?

    I have a few scripts used to perform various operations on the current selection in InDesign. Under normal circumstances these work fine, but I can't seem to reliably get the frontmost document/selection when there is another document open with the same name. Most references to the document and every reference to the selection I have tried so far will simply lead to the document which was most recently opened (and has the same name).
    app.activeDocument.fullName always return the path to the most recently opened document of the same name, but app.documents[0].fullName will return the correct path. Trying to get the selection though will always return the selection of the most recently opened document of the same name, regardless of whether I try app.selection, app.activeDocument.selection or app.documents[0].selection. I have also tried with getElements()[0] appended to the document reference but it makes no difference.
    My primary environment is still CS3 and the problem appears to be that it only references documents by name. Brief testing with CS5 indicates this has been solved by Adobe, presumably because it now refers to documents using an id by default. Haven't tried CS4 but since its document object does not have an id property I'd assume it will behave the same as CS3. Is there any way around this, or is the best I can do to detect the issue (a simple app.activeDocument != app.documents[0] comparison seems to work reliably) and refuse to run if encountered?

    Welll...chances are the selected item will not be a valid ID in both documents of the same name. (I don't think ID's are globally unique, so that's not a guarantee -- but it's something you can check and only give an error if it happens to be that there is a collison).
    So, get the transaction specifier of the selection:
    app.activeWindow.selection[0].toSpecifier()
    Result: /document[@name="u1.indd"]//text-frame[@id=211]
    Then, iterate over app.documents to find the indexes of the documents with that name.
    In my test, of course it is just zero and one.
    Then, try to resolve the specifiers against those documents:
    resolve("/document[0]//text-frame[@id=211]")
    Result: [object TextFrame]
    resolve("/document[1]//text-frame[@id=211]")
    Error: Object is invalid
    Since only doc 0 has a textFrame with id 211, you know it's doc 0 and you have a valid specifier.
    I chose to adjust the specifier by hand, because I think that's probably the most general. The other choice would be to call app.documents[0].textFrames.itemByID(211), but then you would need to map "text-frame" to "textFrames" and that seems annoying and errorprone.

Maybe you are looking for
