Unresolved bug in adobe reader x with non-default windows zoom level

This seems to have already been brought up here about a year ago: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/776060.
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Firefox 12.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Here is a description of the problem:
Whenever I open any PDF file in a browser (firefox or IE) using the adobe reader I am unable to select text, save the file or interact with the content in any meaningful way because the plugin does not recognise my cursor position. If I click on some text in a PDF document, the reader will immediately highlight a region of text between where I clicked and where it thinks I started clicking from (above 20% of the screen above and to the left of where I actually clicked on the page). If I roll my mouse over the region where the dashboard normally appears, the dash does appear as intended and the cursor changes in response to hover over buttons, as if everything were working, but I am unable to click on anything (clicking does nothing). If I click and hold the dashboard when it appears, it immediately jumps to another region of the page, as if it thinks I moved the mouse (20% up and to the left again). I have recently reformatted and am now using a fresh install, and the issue remains. My desktop zoom level in windows is 150%. The problem appears only inside the browser; viewing PDFs directly in Acrobat Reader X works without issue.
I can resolve the problem either of two ways:
a) Reverting back to the default windows zoom level (125%).
b) right-clicking on the Adobe Reader X icon, navigating to the compatibility tab and clicking "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings"
The workaround is easy but it's disappointing that adobe hasn't fixed this. Please consider that it would mostly affect individuals who are vision impaired and might not have the know-how to resolve the problem or check for solutions online, let alone post comments such as this. As far as I can tell this problem severely impaires the functionality of adobe in any browser on any non-standard zoom windows installation.

Adobe reader met with unexpected error

Hi all,
I've been bombed with this problem for so long, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can give any suggestion. The problem is: My adobe reader 7.0.8 or 8.0 are constantly met with unexpected errors. It just doesn't work, I can't open any files with it. Did anyone have similar problems before? Is there any hidden files I have to delete before installing a newer version or something else?
thanks!!

Here are more details:
I had adobe reader 6.0, the only version that was working on my mac, in my application library. I tried to upgrade it to version 8.0. I downloaded and installed adobe reader 8.0 alright, no problems there. But after installation was complete, the Reader restarted itself and crashed, showing me the message "The adobe reader met with unexpected error." and could not even function, not to mention opening any files. It happened with 7.0.8 before as well. I had no other way but to change it back to 6.0. But it's really bugging me because compared to the latest versions, 6.0 isn't really that good. So please help! thanks

How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again. This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically. This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
Just my opinion here Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
Regards a unhappy Adobe user.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

Adobe Reader Performance with Protect Mode On

We are getting very poor performance in opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, particularly for users remote from our central server. With Protected Mode off, performance is much better (10-20X faster opening). Note that we are running Windows 7 with Application Data Roaming and Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, Protected View off, and Advanced Security on. We have diagnosed the problem as follows: We are using the Windows 7 Application Roaming Data feature to house some profile data for our remote users, and when they try to open a PDF document with Protected Mode on, Adobe sends numerous I/O packets (approximatel 6000!) across the "wire" for security checking against the Application Roaming data file on the central server, thus greatly slowing PDF opening. We would like to know the following: 1) Is there a way to turn-off Protected Mode for company server stored documents, while keeping it active for documents received from external sources (e.g. from the internet, e-mail, etc.). 2) is there a way to have Protect Mode security verification done only on the local machine profile data and not on the centrally stored Application Roaming Data file (thus greatly reducing the "across the wire" I/O traffic). Thanks for any help, CCB.

I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible. Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

Any ideas?

In addition to that symptom, I discovered that even though I had closed all Adobe Reader sessions, the processes kept running and used up 90%+ of my CPU.

Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with. I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do. Please tell me how to fix this!

I figured it out! I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

Adobe Customization Wizard X doesn't set Adobe Reader X to be default when customizing Acrobat X

I've recently started working with Adobe Customization Wizard X.
I've got Adobe Reader X customized and it's already installed all computers. Now, I'm working on customizing Adobe Acrobat X. During the customization, I only have the following 2 options:
1. Installer will decide which product will be the default
2. Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer
Choosing the 1st option, makes Acrobat as the default PDF viewer. In other words, I don't get an option to keep Adobe Reader X as the default on the existing computer.
Found a blog in Adobe site which suggests running Adobe Reader installation again after Acrobat is installed. Although it works, it just isn't a good solution (my opinion).
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/03/installing-acrobat-x-and-reader-x-on-the-same- machine.html
Can you advise what're the registry setting that I can set during the Acrobat X customization so that it doesn't become the default PDF viewer.

Parvez

Hi Ben,
Here's what I am trying to accomplish I had Acrobat Standard v10.1.4 scripted so I can deploy it to a Citrix Server (XENAPP6) via SCCM 2007 I have at least 50 licenses of Acrobat Standard deployed to 50 users. All of our Citrix Servers have Adobe Reader v10.* installed as our default pdf viewer. There are other apps that are deployed to this Citrix Server and I wanted to make sure that pdf files open on Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat Standard.
I had to change the installer tables directly so I don't have to get it re-scripted to use this command line. Is it a best practice not to change the isntaller table?
msiexec /i "\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.msi" transforms="\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.mst" LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=”YES” /qb /norestart
Thanks a lot for your help I'm looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
William

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader but get the response:"Adobe reader out of date" Using Windows Vista and Opera browser

Anyone have this prob?

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Does anyone know where to find Adobe reader 3.3.3 for Windows?

The Mozilla plugin checker says Adobe reader is out of date (3.3.2) but the link takes me to the same version. I could only find Mac versions of 3.3.3 please help!

3.3.3 seems like an extremely old version. The latest version is 9.3. According to [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]], you can either go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ or go to '''Help > Check for Updates''' in Adobe Reader.

Same message 2 dnld Plugin, (Java), and Adobe Reader: Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.E

Spent all afternoon downloading Java plugiins and Adobe reader; each with the following "failure message."
Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.

This is going to sound lame, but... have you shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began? Sometimes the Windows Installer starts behaving erratically, perhaps due to a backlog of deferred updates, and the only way to get around it is to reboot.
