Opening a pdf document open in another tab prevents the mouse scroll wheel from responding in the current tab. I have observed this behaviour since version 3.x.

Right click on link for pdf document and "Open in another tab"
Immediately, the mouse wheel scroll function stops working in the current tab (or any other open tabs).
It's not a deal breaker, just a strange annoyance.

Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.
Reader 9 is installed on my Win7 Starter.

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

Opening a PDF document closes me out of the program I am in

Whenever I open a pdf document in my emails or on a website, it closes me out of the program I was using such as my aol account, if I'm filling out a job application, etc... any suggestions? I'm running Windows XP 2002

Hi Megan,
Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? I get the same thing on my iMac.
Thanks

How can I force browser to open a pdf document in a new tab from another online pdf document?

Hello everybody,
I create the internal magazine in InDesign. Then I create a pdf document in which there are some URL. After having verified that every link works, I upload this pdf on our website to be read online. The pdf document opens in the browser.
The problem is that when people read the pdf, they click on the links but they open in the same tab than my pdf.
What can I do to make sure that every link opens in a new tab?
My apologies for English mistakes and thank you for your answers.

I already found the Javascript solution in Acrobat... It works more or less (layout problems), but it's impossible to do one by one as I have many links in my doc...
I don't understand why it's not possible to make it directly with InDesign before exporting it in pdf or while exporting it. There should be an option in the "new hyperlink" dialog box or in the pdf parameters.
Does someone have another idea?

Whenever I have a pdf document open, and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, the scrolling function on the touchpad will not work. This seems to be a glitch with Mozilla, according to Dell. How do I fix this?

When I open a pdf document (like an E-version of a newspaper) in Mozilla and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, I am unable to use the scrolling function on the touchpad. I have to use the up and down arrows to get other pages to scroll. When I close that pdf document, everything works fine. I talked with customer support with Dell, and he said it was probably a glitch with Mozilla. So I tried to do the same thing on IE, and there was no problem scrolling with the touchpad while a pdf document was open on another tab. I would like to get a fix for this so I don't have to keep closing open pdf documents in order to scroll with the touchpad while on other tabs. Thank you

Whenever I open a pdf document in a tab, it takes away my ability to scroll through websites open on other tabs. How do I fix this?

I have use a laptop with a mouse, and I have the touch pad enabled. When I have just one PDF open the touch pad will scroll through only the PDF while the mouse wheel will still scroll through websites in other tabs. However if I open a second PDF the mouse wheel will cease to scroll through other sites and only work in that document. I have the latest version of adobe reader as the default PDF viewer. Also, if I leave a PDF document open when I leave the computer my stumbleupon toolbar will have switched places with my bookmarks toolbar when I come back; restarting Firefox always fixes this, though.

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,
Anubha

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

Opening a PDF document on a CD with Autorun

Hi,
I can open my PDF document using a simple autorun.inf command as follows:
[autorun]
shellexecute=D:\documentname.pdf
But, the path only works on my computer. If I insert the CD into another computer and the drive name is different it obviously does not work. I have tried using a relative path like this:
[autorun]
OPEN=\documentname.pdf
But that did not seem to work.
Question:
Is there a character limit to the length of the PDF file name I'm trying to open? Or, is my attempt to create a relative path name wrong?
I want to send the CD to someone and have it open automatically to the PDF (there are about a dozen other PDF documents on the CD that the main one links to). So, I want to make it easy for them to go right to the main one.
Thanks,
Mindforge

Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro freezing when opening large PDF documents

Ok, I have a tough one. Adobe Acrobat X Standard/Pro keeps freezing when opening large documents that exceed approx. 50 pages. These PDF documents contain large images and graphs for mining purposes, but no links. The issue impacts multiple users on multiple laptops/desktops. We have tried the following:
- Uninstalling/re-installing Adobe Acrobat
- Disabling Enhanced Security in Acrobat Preferences
- Resetting local user profiles
- Changing Reading Preferences to view current visible pages only
- Installing Adobe Acrobat XI
This issue has only occurred after upgrading users to a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit Operating System.
The only possible solution I have managed to find is changing a registry key that permanently disables the Enhanced Security options in Acrobat. This solution however, only worked on brand new user profiles. Resetting user profiles throughout our entire company is not something we are even going to consider.
If anyone would like more information that I have missed, please feel free to ask.

Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

You can't avoid the echo box, unfortunate but that's the
compromise if you go with
the BAT file method.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up windows :)
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty
old but should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/07_launchapp_01.asp
Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer. I have adobe acrobat pro x

I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer. I have adobe acrobat pro xi. the message i received was. "the document could not be saved. there was a problem reading the document (8)."
I was able to convert it to a Word document and then save, but I should not have to do that.

Did you try a Save As? What OS? Have you updated Acrobat?
Another alternative is to print to a new PDF. That is probably a better work flow than going to WORD and back.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.
