How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again. This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically. This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
Just my opinion here Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
Regards a unhappy Adobe user.

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

Specify author name for annotations when opening Adobe Reader

Hi !
I need to specify the author name (for annotations) programatically each time I open Adobe Reader from my application. Is that possible and if yes, how ?
Here is how I open Adobe Reader in my application :
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
If not possible, where does Adobe Reader stores its parameters ? Maybe I can change them before opening it ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
Zab

The application I'm developping needs to be able to allow its users to open existing pdf files and annotate them with the username they've given when logging into the application. Unfortunately, I've not found any satisfying library to edit existing pdf files on Android nor in AIR for Android. I'm thus trying to call Adobe Reader from my application (this I can do) and set the author name for annotations...
I've found that Adobe Reader stores the author name in /data/data/com.adobe.reader/shared_prefs/com.adobe.reader.preferences.xml
Knowing that my application will run on rooted Android tabs, do you think it would be posssible to modify this file each time before launching Adobe Reader from my application (could be a dirty workaround but still a workaround) ?

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.

Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.

how to open adobe acrobat reader without having to open photoshop? i keep getting this message when opening pdf files. "adobe acrobat was installed as part of a suite. to enable adobe acrobat, please start another component of this suite(such as photoshop)

Are you mixing Adobe Acrobat with the Adobe Reader?
If you have Acrobat on your computer you need to associate PDFs with Reader to open in it.
You also need to get the latest security patches for Reader.

Install it. Open it.
If you could give us some more detail about what you've done, what you are doing and what exactly happens when you do it I might be able to give a better answer.

Opening Adobe Reader PDF

Four months ago I wrote that when I tried to open Adobe Reader PDF for any reason, Photoshop Elements 4 took over and Adobe Reader was opened in PE4.
I was given advice toopen and check in a word document my file association and to "tell" the system to open in Adobe PDF format. I did that but whenever I open Adobe PDF for any reason (the last occasion was to download my travel insurance from Insure and Go), PE4 opens and Adobe PDF has to be printed from inside that programme. Nothing has changed.
I want Adobe Reader PDF to open in its own format, and I want to stop Adobe Reader PDF being opened inside the PE4 programme. How do I do it?
I do not want to get rid of PE4 as I use it extensively for photography. But I want it to stay with photos and stop opening for documents like my travel insurance. Thank you. Rod Colyer

HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe. Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK ! If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

Cannot Open Adobe Reader X/XI

Currently experiencing issues with Adobe Reader X/XI. Organization wide problem. Adobe Reader X/XI is not starting/opening at all.
Information:
Adobe Reader X/XI 64-Bit with update 11.0.0.5
Windows 7
Event Viewer doesn't show any application error logs or anything related to the problem from what I can see.
Any idea what can be causing this?

Some other things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

How to run Adobe Reader on Linux Ubuntu? [was:Which progam ?]

Cannot uninstall, update, or open Adobe Reader 9.3.1

I am running Windows XP 32-bit. I recently updated to Adobe Reader X and want to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3.1, but cannot. I have tried uninstalling using Add/Remove Programs, I have tried updating to 9.3.2 by downloading the appropriate update file from adobe.com, and I have tried opening Adobe Reader 9 to ask for updates from the Help menu. None of these worked, because as soon as I tried to "Remove" Adobe Reader 9 in the first instance, as soon as I tried to open the executable update file in the 2nd instance, and as soon as I clicked on Adobe Reader 9 to open it in the 3rd instance, I got the same message: "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I think this problem may be related to the fact that I recently did a System Restore on my computer because I had a virus that was not being caught by Norton Antivirus. After the System Restore, I fully updated all my programs and Mozilla plug-ins, which caused Adobe Reader X to download. Since I no longer need Adobe Reader 9, I'd like to get it off my computer.
The only thread I could find on this issue in this forum was from March 2010, and the user was referred to the Windows Installer Clean-up Utility. This utility is no longer available from Microsoft, so I couldn't resolve the issue with that method.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have! I am not especially computer savvy, so detailed instructions are much appreciated.

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is still available on 3rd-party download sites, e.g. http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
