Reader XI Problem

I have installed Adobe Reader XI on my Windows 8 PC but it will not open .pdfs - Am getting a fatal error "Cannot connect to DDE Server" - Also cannot seem to delete it using Control Panel "Please wait while another Program is being deleted or changed ... "

There is no activation required for Reader only Acrobat. If you mean you run the application and it quits and you are running Windows try to run the EULA.exe application that can be found in the installation folder.

You don't need Adobe AIR to download or install Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Adobe reader printing problems

Hi all,
I have created a word document, and converted it to .pdf using Cute PDF writer. When I open the document in Adobe reader 7/8 I can see the document fine and clear with all fonts and images as they should be.
The problem is when I try to print the document. When I print from Adobe 8, the font (Gill Sans MT to be specific) doesn't print correctly. Instead of getting a word with one letter after the other, all letters of that word are printing on top of each other if you get me. This can happen anywhere on the page.
However, if I open the document in Adobe reader 7 - the document prints correctly. No problems. I have tried this on a number of machines so I can safely say its not a problem with the install of the software on any of the machines. It just seems to be an incompatibility with the Adobe reader 8 software.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how I can get around this on Adobe reader 8?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mo

a bug most likely. I can only see a couple of options for you. Don't use Reader 8, use a different PDF creator, or try to tweak the settings in in Cute PDF to make it embed and encode the fonts so that Reader 8 can print successfully.

Please read my problem when I configure Weblogic https

I want to use https protocol and SSL for my web application in Weblogic
I have a problem but I am not sure it's related to configuring Weblogic or not please if you can advice me
I use "openssl" to be my own Certificate Authority (CA)
I used this instructions for using openssl [http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/]
after configuring openssl I used these steps for creating my keystore
1. First I use this keytool for creating my private key and public key
keytool -genkeypair -keyalg rsa -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120 -alias ali_alias
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: AliKhosravi
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: Boors
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: software
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: Tehranali_keytool.jks
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]: Tehran_Province
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]: IR
Is CN=AliKhosravi, OU=Boors, O=software, L=Tehran, ST=Tehran_Province, C=IR correct?
[no]: y
2. I create my CSR by this command
keytool -certreq -alias ali_alias -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120 -file ali_keytool.csr
3. I sign the ali_keytool.csr by openssl . I do it like this :
openssl x509 -req -in ali_keytool.csr -CA certs/myca.crt -CAkey private/myca.key -out ali_keytool.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CAserial my_ca.seq
4.Now my I have a signed certificate (ali_keytool.crt) and my CA certificate (myca.crt)
and I import CA certificate to my keystore
keytool -import -alias Openssl_ca -file myca.crt -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120
5. I import the signed certificate into my keystore by alias of private key
keytool -import -alias ali_alias -file ali_keytool.crt -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120
6. I import the CA certificate again into a new keystore for creating Trust
keytool -import -alias my_ca -file myca.crt -keystore ali_keytool_trust.jks -storepass ali120
All steps done without any errors
I used this address for help [http://www.startux.de/java/44-dealing-with-java-keystores]
Now I want to configure kestores ans ssl in Weblogic
7. I go to the Environment-->Servers-->AdminServer-->Keystore tab in wblogic
8. I set "Keystores=Custom Identity and Custom Trust", "Custom Identity Keystore = H:\trust\ali_keytool.jks" , "Custom Identity Keystore Type=jks" ,
"Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase:ali120"
"Confirm Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase=ali120"
"Custom Trust Keystore=H:\trust\ali_keytool_trust.jks" , "Custom Trust Keystore Type=jks" ,
"Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase=ali120" , "Confirm Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase=ali120"
9. Then I go to SSL tab and I set "Identity and Trust Locations=Keystores" , "Private Key Alias=ali_alias" ,"Private Key Passphrase=ali120",
"Confirm Private Key Passphrase=ali120"
10. I go to the General tab and select "SSL Listen Port Enabled"
11. I user Firefox as WebBrowser so I configure my Browser I select Tools-->Options-->ViewCertificates --> Authorities tab
and I import the server certificate here is "myca.crt the openssl certificate"
in Downloading Certificate window I select
"Trust this CA to identify web sites"
"Trust this CA to identify email users"
"Trust this CA to identify software developers"
12. I restart Weblogic
13. I try to loging in weblogic like this "https://127.0.0.1:7002/console"
The webBroser show me this warning:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to 127.0.0.1:7002, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details
I Understand the Risks
I don't know why the WebBrowser show me this warning while I imported the Server Certificate
I don't know that my problem is in configuring WebLogic or FireFox WebBrowser or Keystore
If you know please advice me
Thanks

Help!!! I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it. Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago). Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway. Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

Adobe Reader Installation problem

Originally I got this error message:
"Error 1321. The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Browser\nppdf32.dll"
A user give me this response:
hi jhohn1190, this problem won't be related to javascript which is enabled in firefox by default - this would only apply if you're not able to download the setup file at all. since the error message is referencing missing privileges, please try right-clicking and running the setup as administrator. in case this doesn't help, please contact adobe's support in order to get their product working.
I did what he said and now I get this error message:
"Error 1310. Error writing to file:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\AcroTextExtractor.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory.” Note that
At least this time the sub directories "Adobe\Reader 11.0" exist, but below them is another - empty - directory "Reader", and nothing else. I'd appreciate more help,
and thanks ...

Reader 9 - problem with pdf version 1.0 and descenders

2 big problems over here:
* Reader9 will not properly open files created as pdf version 1.0/1.x
all text is cut off about 2/3 of the way down, whether or not in fields.
* Any pdf file version above 1.0created with any version of GhostScript does not have the previous issue, However - no descenders of any font are coming out.
We do not have either problems with any version of Reader prior to 9

Read-only problem

I'm completely new to jdeveloper (v 9.0.3.5) with the OA extension components. I'm having problems when I have copied the various xml & java class files from the server to my local PC, replicating the structure on the server. When I then add these into my project the BC come in as read-only, so do all the files within the BC. If I create a new BC, this is fine and fully editable. I am obviously missing a trick here. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks Jeanette

Hi,
1. Select the project folder in the exporer and set the "Read-Only" proprty to false.
2. ReImport the Project once again.

Read-Only Problem during Boot

Hi,
I tried to update my system today, like every week, with the standard command pacman -Syu. After installing all updates, my window manager (gnome3) crashed and i tried to restart my System. After the grub window appeared and I choosed my kernel the normal startup commands are shown until the Arch prompt appeared. The one where Arch Linux tried to start all relevant processes. After that there are only mistakes. All startup processes are busy or failing. The only message i get is, that the filesystem, i think thats the root partition (ext4), is read-only or another error: some files for startup cannot be created because they already exist.
Getting to console is also impossible, because the system tries to start virtualbox additions, with an funny message, that it is busy and tries it again in 5 min (infinity loop). But shidt happens. I have read in another post that I can try another Linux System, mount my root partition and do an
fsck /dev/sda3 -p or -f
. But it says that all is clean (sda3 is root and sda1 is /boot). The filesystem is ext4, so i tried also fsck.ext4, but it also say all is clean.
After another boot i stoped at the position, where the fist error occur.
Mounting Local Filesystems
/etc/rc.sysinit: line 285: /etc/mtab: Read-only file System
next one:
Activating Swap
/bin/rm: cannot remove '/etc/localtime': Read-only file system
removing leftover Files
/usr/bin/find: cannot delete 'var/run/cups.pid': Read-only file system
After that message there are also al lot of analog errors.
I have no other idea than an dirty filesystem. Is there another possibility to rescue my system without an fresh install. Im sorry but i cannot log any messages at that state of boot. So it is not easy to get better informations about special error codes.
I have forget to give you some informations about my stats:
- actual stable arch kernel 2.6.38
- gnome 3
- thinkpad t400

With udev 168-1 I obtain this message during boot:
:: checking filesystems
fsck.ext4: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda6 (my root device)
Possibly non-existent device?
***************** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ****************
* Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
* file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
* When you exit the maintenance shell the system will *
* reboot automatically. *
but fsck run manually says it's all clean.
I have to remount rw / partition and manually mount all the other partition, then I can switch to runlevel 3.
With udev 167-2 (and prior) I can boot without any problems.
I'm not sure it's a problem from udev, but downgrading it works for me.

Read only problem on forms

I'm having a problem when I set fields to read only in ApEx. The situation is there are several surveys to have user's fill out and they don't need to answer every question, and once the surveys are submitted, they are no longer able to be modified. I had no problems setting the fields to read only in that case, but the problem I'm encountering is that any question that had a null value left in it instead of being answered, the field is displaying as: []. I'd like to be able to change that so that it reads as not answered or something to make it more readable.
Is there a way to use a case when expression to clear this up? Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response.
I tried giving a case when using the null on one of the questions then set the form into Read Only mode, and it still displayed as []. I forgot to mention this part last time, and I'm sorry about that, but these items are Select Lists with a NUMBER column in the database, so I can't actually store words in the table for the null vales.

BDB read performance problem: lock contention between GC and VM threads

Problem: BDB read performance is really bad when the size of the BDB crosses 20GB. Once the database crosses 20GB or near there, it takes more than one hour to read/delete/add 200K keys.
After a point, of these 200K keys there are about 15-30K keys that are new and this number eventually should come down and there should not be any new keys after a point.
Application:
Transactional Data Store application. Single threaded process, that's trying to read one key's data, delete the data and add new data. The keys are really small (20 bytes) and the data is large (grows from 1KB to 100KB)
On on machine, I have a total of 3 processes running with each process accessing its own BDB on a separate RAID1+0 drive. So, according to me there should really be no disk i/o wait that's slowing down the reads.
After a point (past 20GB), There are about 4-5 million keys in my BDB and the data associated with each key could be anywhere between 1KB to 100KB. Eventually every key will have 100KB data associated with it.
Hardware:
16 core Intel Xeon, 96GB of RAM, 8 drive, running 2.6.18-194.26.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Diagnosis:
I'm seeing way to much lock contention on the Java Garbage Collector threads and also the VM thread when I strace my java process and I don't understand the behavior.
We are spending more than 95% of the time trying to acquire locks and I don't know what these locks are. Any info here would help.
Earlier I thought the overflow pages were the problem as 100KB data size was exceeding all overflow page limits. So, I implemented duplicate keys concept by chunking of my data to fit to overflow page limits.
Now I don't see any overflow pages in my system but I still see bad bdb read performance.

The above stats show that there is too much time spent locking (futex calls) and I don't understand that because
the application is really single-threaded. I have turned on asynchronous transactions so the writes might be
flushed asynchronously in the background but spending that much time locking and timing out seems wrong.
So, there is possibly something I'm not setting or something weird with the way JVM is behaving on my box.
I grep-ed for futex calls in one of my strace log snippet and I see that there is a VM thread that grabbed the mutex
maximum number(223) of times and followed by Garbage Collector threads: the following is the lock counts and thread-pids
within the process:
These are the 10 GC threads (each thread has grabbed lock on an avg 85 times):
  86 [8538]
  85 [8539]
  91 [8540]
  91 [8541]
  92 [8542]
  87 [8543]
  90 [8544]
  96 [8545]

  97 [8547]
  96 [8548]
  91 [8549]
  91 [8550]
  80 [8552]
VM Periodic Task Thread" prio=10 tid=0x00002aaaf4065000 nid=0x2180 waiting on condition (Main problem??)
223 [8576] ==> grabbing a lock 223 times -- not sure why this is happening…
"pool-2-thread-1" prio=10 tid=0x00002aaaf44b7000 nid=0x21c8 runnable [0x0000000042aa8000] -- main worker thread
   34 [8648] (main thread grabs futex only 34 times when compared to all the other threads)
The load average seems ok; though my system thinks it has very less memory left and that
I think is because its using up a lot of memory for the file system cache?

Maybe I should make my application a Concurrent Data Store app as there is really only one thread doing the writes and reads. But I would like
to understand why my process is spending so much time in locking.
Can I try any other options? How do I prevent such heavy locking from happening? Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? Maybe this is
all normal. I'm pretty new to using BDB.
If there is a way to disable locking that would also work as there is only one thread that's really doing all the job.
Should I disable the file system cache? One thing is that my application does not utilize cache very well as once I visit a key, I don't visit that
key again for a very long time so its very possible that the key has to be read again from the disk.
It is possible that I'm thinking this completely wrong and focussing too much on locking behavior and the problem is else where.
Any thoughts/suggestions etc are welcome. Your help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

Hi,
Looks like you're using BDB, not BDB JE, and this is the BDB JE forum. Could you please repost here?:

Unable to print drawing properly in Acrobat - however with Adobe Reader no problem !!!

Got a pdf (converted ACAD drawing) of which certain sections appear hardly readable on screen (grey, distorted ??)
Tried all print options (colour, B&W, save PDF again, check rersolutions, contacted supplier of printer etc.) I could think of but no improvements
By mistake I printed the file direct from explorer view and amazingly enough TEXT OKAY !
Printed original file to CutePDF_writer and - once again - section could be read without any problem
Thought I give the free Adobe Reader a try and once again: no problem at all
Adobe Acrobat is fully updated - beside a Java flattening scripts I have not had anything modified.
Strang situation: only with the professional tool I am using very often I am unable to print as required.
Looks to me the file to be printed has some fonts not recognized / supported / missing in my Acrobat software?
When yes how can I check & resolve ?
Actually puts me in a delicate position now - help urgently needed !
Assume I have to add fonts ? But got no warning anything missing...
And: should a professional software tool not at least match options / features of a free version ?
Added comment:
It's even getting more weird
Printing on an other printer (Minolta instead of Canon) NO PROBLEM AT ALL
Thanks for help in advance

Acrobat Reader X Problem

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader 9 to Acrobat Reader X on Windows Vista. Ever since I have not been able to open any PDF documents that are sent to me via e-mail with Adobe Reader X although I can open up pdf files that are on my computer. When I try to open a e-mailed pdf document with Acrobat Reader X opened on my desktop it gets opened by Acrobat Professional Version 8 which was preinstalled on my computer and cannot be deleted. This does not stay open because I did not subscribe to the software. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Rearder X as well as using the "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" feature in Adobe Reader "Help" and also via the Control Panel "Set Associations" feature. This has never happend previously with any other Adobe Reader upgrades. I am not certain what else can be attempted or how to resolve the problem?

Hello Michael,
I think Galena01 was actually asking about Reader X and not Acrobat. She was just trying to give additional information.
I have the same issue in that after installing Reader X, it is no longer possible to open pdf files attached to emails or from websites. A Reader screen does appear but it remains blank even after several minutes and IE is often locked and a logoff / logon in Windows is required as Task Manager will not shut down IE in this situation. The only workaround appears to be to open Reader X first, then open the online pdf file.
I believe Adobe have released faulty code.
Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate SP2
All current MS updates
Reader X v10.0.1
