Reader locks up IE when viewing Reader Extended documents (Shared Review)

There seems to be a problem when viewing some reader extended documents that have shared review enabled over WEBDAV.  This has been going on for quite some time, and I can't seem to find a consistent solution for it.  I have had many different clients report the same problem, always within IE.
Here is what happens:
You click a link to view a pdf that has shared review enabled, and has been reader extended.
A gray screen comes up with a progress indicator.
When the progress indicator comes up, the document displays in the background and a "Welcome to Shared Review" window appears.
You click ok to the Welcome window, and the document reverts to the blank gray screen and you are stuck.  Occasionally IE locks up at this point as well.
Here's what I know:
The problem occurs when the file is viewed in IE.  The problem does not seem to occurr in other browsers such as chrome or firefox.
The problem does not occur when the same file is saved to the desktop and opened within the desktop version of Reader or Acrobat.
The problem occurs with both Reader X and XI
The problem occurs on both Windows 7, and Vista (at least)
The problem occurs on IE 9 and 10
The same problem has occurred on at least 20 computers in 5 different network environments
The problem often times occurs on the second view of a document, and then prevents you from ever viewing it again.
What I've tried
Uninstall IE and all copies of Reader & Acrobat
Reinstall IE
Reinstall Reader
Update Everything
Turn off "Speculative Downloading"
Turn off "Fast Web View"
none of that seems to help
Sometimes i can get it to work temporarily by clearing the temp internet files in IE and then viewing the document again.  Sometimes it will then start to display fine, but later reverts to the gray screen.
Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Thanks for the intelligent reply Pat!  I was sure that I would receive a comment asking if i've tried rebooting.  I'll post back with results asap.

  • When viewing a PDF document; cant you search for a keyword anymore?

    Hello (me again lol) prior to 2.2 Software upgrade I recall that when viewing a pdf document I could search for certain keywords; now I cant figure out how.
    First off, again I'm using 2.2 Software on Verizon' HTC Incredible.
    Next up when viewing a pdf I believe its using Adobe Reader.  I have a few options but one thing I cannot find is "search" or even 'go to" (page number)
    I believe Quck Office doesnt pull up any PDFs so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to search for keywords; thanks

    If you are using the Quick Office Application or the PDF Viewer, make sure both applications are updated to the newest versions.
    You can do that by going to the Android Market Place on the device, then press menu and download, then you can see applications that can be updated.  
    To check for updates while using Quick Office, press the Menu button, then select Updates. Quickoffice will automatically check for updates to your software.
    You can search for text strings in your document using Quickword. Switch to Reflow View, then press the Menu button, and tap Search. A text entry field will appear at the top of your document. Enter the text you wish to search for and tap the search icon to the right of the text field. Quickword will highlight all instances of the text you are searching for.
    Copy and paste the link below into your browser's address bar for more information.

  • How can I place my initials when in a document shared review?

    When in a document shared review envitronemnt, the Sign Document menu is grayed out, I want to be able to place my initials in
    a document, what are my options?

    The contents of the folder-level JavaScript file can simply be:
    // Create and set the value of the identity.initials property
    identity.initials = "GWJ";
    You can then retrieve the value in your dynamic stamp JavaScript to the the value of a field, something like:
    // Code in calculation of a text field in a dynamic stamp
    event.value = identity.initials;

  • Signature panel 'hangs' when viewing a signed document

    Hello and Merry Christmas to everyone,
    I am facing a problem when viewing a document ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1wk9toh5e7AekxUcGM0RVc4Z2c/edit?usp=sharing ) with Adobe Reader. The signature panel appears to be frozen (not initialized), and it is not possible to access any signature details at all.
    Note that the document contains two invisible signatures. Whenever I remove the second signature manually by truncating the document, the signature panel is shown as expected.
    My environment: Windows 8.1 x64, Adobe Reader 11.0.5. Interestingly enough, the document and the signatures are shown correctly by Adobe Reader 9. I am attaching a screen shot of what I am seeing with Adobe Reader 11 below.
    It would be great if someone lets me know why this is happening and whether Adobe are going to fix this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Innokentiy Ivanov

    A quick update following my own investigation of the issue. Apparently, the problem is somehow related to annotation objects on the first and only page. Whenever I remove the /Annots entry from the page object (e.g. by renaming it to AnnotX to preserve the overall document structure), both signatures are rendered correctly. I've uploaded the updated document here ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1wk9toh5e7AYllGbkJwZmZvR1E/edit?usp=sharing ).

  • When viewing a pdf document how do I change the default or pre-set magnification?

    Anytime I am directed to a pdf document by a website it opens the pdf file at 173% magnification. It tells you to open the menu to change the pre-set magnification, but I don't see a menu to open.

    Maybe you did not include enough information in your question or your question was not specific enough since your reply indicates that you have already asked the question and have received an unsatisfactory answer. Please attach a screen shot demonstrating the magnification. Also include written information about where you are seeing the 173% or other magnification value that you are seeing on the image that you attach.

  • When viewing a pdf document in Firefox, the pages are displayed in reverse order.

    If I save file onto PC and open that file, pages are in normal order

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the document property was not updated when you published a minor version to a major version.
    It is by design, the Quick Parts don't get synchronized with
    SharePoint major version when it used in Office Web Apps.
    As a workaround, you can
    show the Version column within the Word document using the other methods:
    Use SharePoint Designer to copy the Version to a separate column
    Using the Labels feature of SharePoint
    Event handler to copy the version to a separate field

  • Erratic behavior when viewing files

    Hello,
    I've had a multitude of problems lately, but in short I have a new hard drive and have topped out my memory at 3Gb. However, I still do not understand why when viewing images and documents from Macintosh HD -> Home Folder -> Search this is still happening: the file list will not stay still! The list keeps bouncing around like a ping pong ball, no matter what viewing mode I am in. It is really annoying because I am fighting to scroll down and when I find a file to drill down on, the list jumps and I lose my place. The "jumping" seems to be happening at regular intervals, perhaps every 5-7 seconds.
    I have also noticed that all stock Adobe (Photoshop Elements) images are highlighted in green. I never noticed this before, and I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. But I do know that when I bring up these "jumping" file lists, the first file the list seems to be fixed on is the first Adobe stock image on the list, even though it is never the first file in the list (no matter how the list is sorted).
    Any comments or suggestions are welcome. I Googled this issue using many different combinations of keywords with no useful search results. I can't possibly be the only person on the planet who has experienced this problem.
    Thanks.

    Problem solved, or at least alleviated, by turning OFF File Vault.

  • After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

    After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
    No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank.   When I try to Close (by clicking X)  the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding"  It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
    I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task.  All my browser windows are then closed.
    That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
    This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
    Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
    I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

    Please don't post the same question multiple times!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi All,
    I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
    I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
    All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • Links in pdf doc are not working when viewed in Reader 9, but works with Reader 8

    Hello,
    When I view a pdf document using Reader 8, the links in the document work. However, when another user views the pdf document using Reader 9, the links do not work for them. Any suggestions?

    Are they hyper links or are they spelled out (http://...etc)?
    If they are spelled out, it could be because the person using 9 needs to select "create links from URL" in Preferences>General>Basic Tools.

  • Need to set Custom Toolbar in Reader 9 when viewed in IE7

    I'm deploying Reader 9.4 to XP SP3 workstations.  Using the Customization Wizard I was able to drag down registry keys that turned on the Select Tool and the Hand tool however these do not show up when viewing PDF's in IE7.  So on my test machine I open a PDF in IE7, right-click the PDF bar at the top of the PDF (not the IE toolbar) and can select the tools I want to add.  The Select tool and the Hand tool.  Fine.  Now that workstation has those tools forever.  Now for the rest of my 5000 deployments, I need to know where I can customize my deployment to do that?  I can't seem to find a registry entry that the Wizard lets me drag down.  I even dragged the entire HKey_Current_User\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0 registry structure.  Still no joy.
    Anyone know how I can turn on these two tools as a deployment customization for viewing PDF's in IE7?
    thanks,
    Marc

    This is not a scripting question. The solution needs to be in the custom
    application you're using to create the PDF files.
    The "Keywords" field is just a part of the document metadata, which any PDF
    library should be able to edit.

  • Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader.

    Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader nor when printed after the form has been filled. But the texts appear when one clicks inside the field. What is the solution to be able to print and view all of the texts in all of the fields that have been typed.

    More than likely caused by someone filling out the form with Mac Preview.

    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
