Windows Service no longer able to print PDF files using Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79

We have a Windows Service that watches a folder for PDF files to be deposited.  Once awakened, it executes the Adobe Reader in command line mode to print the PDF files to secure check printers. The Windows Service was working fine with 11.0.06.70 but no longer works with 11.0.07.79.
There are no event viewer errors or errors returned to our Process.Start() call.  The Windows Service is running under the identify of an administrator account and has explicit full access to the printer.  We have also tried the local computer's Administrator account as well as the default Local Service, but none work.
Using ProcMon to examine the failure, it showed Adobe Reader making many successful registry and file accesses.  Adobe Reader then creates a new process, another instance of itself to read in the PDF file and print to the printer.  However, ProcMon only shows Adobe Reader accessing AcroRd32.exe, syswow.dll (sp) and ntdll.dll and then the thread and process immediately exits with an exit code of 0 (no file or registry accesses).  So, something is causing the instantiated process to fail immediately.
After more research and trying many things, we disabled "Enable Protected Mode at Startup".  This enabled things to work again.
We are concerned that disabling this feature might expose security concerns for our customers.
We are suspecting that some security concerns were tightened with 11.0.07.79 that has inadvertently caused printing from Windows Services to falsely be identified as security violations.  Can you please investigate and provide a resolution?
Thank you.

Hi,
Can you please give the following details:
1) Command (given in command line)used to print PDF files?
2) Is the issue reproducible with other printers as well?
3) Is directly printing the PDF from that folder using command line i.e without using windows service works fine or not?
Thanks,
Shakti K

  • Not able to print PDF files in Adobe Reader or Acrobat 9. Using an HP 6500 printer.

    HP  advises that the problem is that the size of the file created in Adobe is not suported by the printer. Problem started when I updated Adobe Reader. I have reloaded Adobe Reader and loaded a trial copy of Acobat 9. Still will not print.

    did you get an answer to this one?  I am having the same problem.

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

  • Which tablets allow you to hyperlink to other pdf files using adobe reader?

    On my windows pc, i can click the hyperlink on a file that then opens another pdf file.
    the adobe reader on the windows tablet doesn't allow this function, nor does the chromebook.
    the new ipad is a bit too expensive and the old ipad (1) can't use ios7, so that doesn't work either.
    any recommendations for netbooks or tablets would be appreciated.
    thanks!!

    Hi  jeanniemtbean,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Adobe Reader does not provide you with this facility. This is a feature of Acrobat.

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Cannot print pdf files with Adobe reader 9.3

    I upgraded from Adobe 7 to 9.3 and now I can not print pdf files.  I am able to print word and any other type of file but not pdf.  The printer will pull paper into it like it is going to print but stops and nothing else happens.  I have an HP C3100 printer.I also tried to do what the support web site said to do but no luck.  I also tried to do a system restore but it would not do it.  Does anyone have a idea to help fix this?

    Post your problem in the forum for Adobe Reader.

  • Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all:
    I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
    It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
    Is there away to sign this electronically?
    Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
    Can I sign with a pen tool with in  Adobe Reader 9?
    Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
    Thanks in advance!!

    That depends.
    Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
    They are different things.

  • Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website.  It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text.  I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem.  I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L).  Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page.  However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51.  The text is printing correctly on their printers.  The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text).  Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
    Thanks
    Roger3

    I am replying to my own question.
    After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations.  It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
    Thanks,
    Roger3
