Open Adobe Reader PDF Search window by passing directory to search in...

Hello,
I have a directory on my C drive fill of OCRed PDF.  My users are not that sophisticated enough to tell them how to do it step by step... I would prefer to write a BAT/CMD file so when they click on it, it would open Adobe search window by passing my directory as default to the Adobe Reader so they can type their search characters in the search area and search for their desired character string in the directory that I have passed to them via BAT/CMD file... Could you please give me example or guide me how it can be done?
Regards
Jeff P.

I have Professional version... Do you have answer to this using adobe pro?  Yes I know there is reader Furom....   I could use both but I prefer to use pro version.
Regards
Jeff P.

  • 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

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • How do you search bold text in Adobe Reader XI for Windows?

    We create documents electronically that contain bold text for a client. No matter what we try in Adobe Reader XI for Windows, bold text is not found. Is it not searchable? Is there a setting that we are overlooking to enable it? So far, only NitroPDF is the only program I can find that works.

    I just created a small test PDF (test_bold.pdf) with some bold words in it.  Reader XI (11.0.09) has no trouble finding these words.
    You can download the test doc from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/333accd7-f54b-40f4-b06f-f14a3608f120
    Search for the word lazy that has been boldened multiple times in the doc.

  • Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.

    can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.  have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results.  running windows xp.

    Three 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)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Cant open PDF files. Cant open Adobe Reader x

    Hi, I am running windows xp pro. I am having trouble opening PDF files and I cant open adobe reader x. I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled. I have stoped all antivirus services.

    Could you please elaborate a bit more as to what happens when you open a PDF. Do you get some sort of an error or dialog? If so, please post the contents of the same.
    Also, please let me know the version of Reader installed on your system. You can find the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.

  • Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

    We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader.  The version on the computer is 9.5.2.  When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open.  But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open. 
    I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

    Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA.

  • I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

    I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

    Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
    Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
    So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

  • Cannot open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file

    When I try to open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file, it says that it "cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?"  When I choose open with Protected Mode disabled, it then displays "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.” Please help. Thank you. All PDF’s and adobe reader use to work on my computer. Thank you.  When I try troubleshooting the problem, “incompatible application” is listed under the troubleshooting report.
