Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO  CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2  BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
WHILE IN ADOBE READER  I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
2. Operating System = Windows 7.
3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..

    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.

    why does Adobe Reader window open When i click on "about windows Media Player" , then click  on "Technical support information". if the file isnt a PDF file then why is Adobe Reader even summoned?

    i looked at Adobe file extensions first and didnt find htm among the ones listed. but then i looked at file extensions and what program is assigned to open htm and sure enough Adobe was assigned to it. i changed it. thank you.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

  • Problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file

    I have problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file, the menu bar appears blank without options and when I pass the mouse over the bar she disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and to no avail. Could anyone help in this case.

    That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361).

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

    Why does iPad 3 4G constantly restart after 8.3 update only when docked with iMac?

    That question is impossible to answer without more information. What troubleshooting steps have you performed? Did you try using another cable? Did you try using another USB port on the Mac? Did you reboot the Mac and reset the iPad? Have you tired restoring the iPad?

  • Why does Adobe Reader X1 show text as weird characters in online pdf?

    Updated to Reader X1 recently. When I open a PDF on my desktop, it displays normally. When I look at a PDF online, it displays a series of random characters (like fl fl   fl) replacing the text. I want to upload a screenshot of an example but get an error msg that says:  Content type of this image is not allowed. It's only a Word doc with a screenshot of the pdf!
    Can someone tell me why I can't properly view PDF content online and how to fix this? I'm using latest Firefox 19.0.2 with XP.

  • Why is my Adobe Reader 11 going automatically to the background when i open an pdf file

    Hello Guys,
    We have a problem at a customer. If he opens an pdf file from his programm , then it is going automatically to the background.
    We tried it with Adobe Reader 8 and that wasn't giving a problem, so anybody has an workaround for Adobe Reader 11 ?
    Thanks
    Tariku Bartels

    Dear Pat,
    We have internet explorer 9.0 (and we tried it with 10) and when we want to proceed with it, it opens for a second an goes to the background.
    So it opens in the External Adobe Reader. But i know we can alt-tab it but it needs to be automatically and that worked just with Reader 8.
    So do you have any idea of how we can fix this or is there a workaround available for this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Tariku Bartels

  • Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
    Basically I think it needs to
    detect what word is presented under the cursor
    look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
    pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
    It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
    Do you think there is such plug-in?
    Many thanks for your help/advice here.
    Cheers
    SX

    Hi,
    When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
    Many thanks for your help/advice.
