Problem with adobe reader for android.

I have set up 25 android tablets for my employees to use adobe reader. They are downloading a blank .pdf forms created with acrobat from a cloud drive (google drive) and then filling out the forms on the tablet. On 24 of the tablets, when the original form is opened from the cloud, adobe reader gives a warning that the file is "read-only" and gives the option to save a copy locally in order to be able to edit the form, or to continue and view the form as read-only. On one tablet, adobe reader skips this warning and ALWAYS opens the form as read-only. I have un-installed and re-installed adobe reader and the cloud drive multiple times. I have done factory resets and completely re-configuresd the tablet multiple times. I have even tried multiple cloud accounts to ensure that it isnt a cloud setting. The problem is isolated to this tablet, regardless of all of these "fixes" I cannot find any setting to eneble/disable this option. Any ideas as to why everything works on every other tablet, but not this one?

The first thing I would try is a different cloud server, e.g. Workspaces at https://acrobat.com/ - just to make sure it's not Google Drive causing the problem.

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Arabic support issue

    Dear Support,
    I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
    There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.

  • Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

    I am a medical  teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to"  video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure.  It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into  a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader?  Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

  • Adobe Reader for Android

    Hi,
    I am developing an android app.
    I need to be able to display a particular page from various pdf files based on a page no supplied by the app.
    Therefore I need to be able to pass this page no to the pdf reader and for the reader to display the relevant page.
    Is this possible with adobe reader for android?
    If so how do I achieve this?
    Thank you.

    Use the forum 'Adobe Reader for Android'.

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Highlight text in adobe reader for android

    Dear Adobe Reader Team,
    I've had a problem with my adobe reader for android version 11.5.0
    It's not highlighting any text or doesn't even select it when I scroll over.
    Kindly help me with this Problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you have a scanned PDF document.  Because a scanned PDF document contains images of text (not real text), you will not be able to select text or highlight it.  You can still add Freehand drawing and/or sticky notes to a scanned PDF document.
    To recognize text in a scanned PDF document, you need to run special Text Recognition software.  Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) offers the capability, where as free Adobe Reader products do not.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

  • Where's Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android 10.1?

    Thanks to everyone who has downloaded, installed, and provided feedback on the most recent update for Adobe Reader for Android 10.1. While many users are happy with the updates we made in the release, we clearly made a mistake in removing the Reflow feature.  We hear your comments and it’s our top priority to bring this feature back as quickly as possible.  We will let you know as soon as we have additional updates.
    Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

    Principle Product Manager, Adobe

    Thank you, thank you. Anxiously awaiting. 
    I am really hindered on Andriod phone by this mishap with 10.1.0.
    Is there any way to down-grade to the previous  v10.0.2?
    I know it had some problems,
    but having Reflow is worth the occasional crash.
    Please consider offering the old version unless there is a v10.2.0
    with Reflow real soon now.
    Thanks.
    SEMI-SOLVED:
    I went to http://get.adobe.com/es/reader/otherversions/ ,
    downloaded "Reader X (10.0.2) for Android 2.1"
    to my Samsung GT-I550 running Android 2.2,
    and then installed it with EasyInstaller from the Market.
    Now I have Reflow again.
    No more upgrade until Reflow is back again.
    Thanks for making the solution available.
    Richard.

  • Launch Adobe Reader for Android via Intent in Read-Only mode

    One issue I've bumped into recently with respect to launching Adobe Reader for Android via an ACTION_VIEW intent is that fillable forms can apparently always be filled and saved, thus modifying the original file.  That may be wonderful in many applications, but I have a situation where I would really not like users to be able to make any changes to the document (i.e. filling in fields and saving) at the current time.
    I am assuming that there is currently no Intent option to open a PDF in Adobe Reader in true read-only mode (preferably such that fillable fields wouldn't even be fillable).
    For now, I'll probably just have to point to a copy of the file, but it would be more convenient to have a handful of properly-documented options for launching read-only via an Intent.

  • How can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

    I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
    Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
    How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?
    And / or
    How can I print all text highlights from a document?
    Thanks,
    ken

    Thanks.
    Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
    Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
    Is a VERY useful feature!

  • After creating a form from an existing document, viewing it in Adobe Reader for Android only shows the form fields, and not the document behind it.

    Using an existing PDF file to create an editable form that I can update on my tablet as I go, but when I open the file on my tablet (using Adobe Reader for Android), it only shows the blue editable fields that I've created, but not the actual form that's supposed to be behind it. However, it views properly on my PC. Am I not saving it out correctly?

    Please share the sample file with me. I am sending you instruction via private message.

  • Problem with adobe reader, commenting

    one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
    should I save the pdf in another way?

    What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as -  reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
    Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
    Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
    You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J

  • Continued problems with Adobe Reader 9.3.1

    Adobe Reader stops at the half-way mark in the progress block when loading a form to print.  Cannot get this fixed. Does anyone out there have a fix for this.  Is Adobe even recognizing that there is a problem with this.  Error message keeps telling me that there is a problem with Adobe Reader, exit and try again.

    I haven't been able to print any .pdf files since I downloaded 9.3.
    My message says Internet Explorer has closed it down because of data executable files.  I've changed my DEF settings to allow
    Adobe Reader but it still doesn't work.  I never had any problems before with newer versions.

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    After the latest update to Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    Hi,
    You are correct,with the latest update, we have modified the links appearance.
    This decision was based on a feedback from the users.
    We changed the appearance as users were reporting that the 'blue rectangles' that used to indicate links, were interfering with their document viewing experience.Also, since those rectangles are actually not how the author made the file, we wanted to make the file look exactly as the author had desired.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader for Android: Bookmarks

    I find Adobe Reader for Android excellent even for image or picture files in that it allows searching for words and highlighting etc.
    However it lacks one important feature - bookmarks.
    Please add bookmarks as soon as possible to make an excellent product even better.

    Actually, the Adobe Reader for Android does support bookmarks to the same degree as Adobe Reader on both Windows and Macintosh. Any bookmarks that were created by the PDF file's authoring application or added to the document with Adobe Acrobat may be readily accessed. The Adobe Reader applications (Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android) do not provide any mechanism for adding, modifying, or deleting bookmarks.
