200" viewing limitation in Acrobat/Reader?

Hi all,
I have a diagram which is 220" inches wide.
When I open this document in Acrobat/Reader 9.0, it appears blank on the screen. However, when I go to the "View -> Grid" menu option, I am able to see the drawing (even after I turn the "Grid" option back off. (uncheck it)
When I view the document this way, I notice it has been cut off at the 200" mark. I have read in PDF API documentation that there is a 200" limit in Acrobat/Reader. Is this true?
When I print the document, it prints in it's entirety (220+").
Is anyone aware of such a limitation and is there a point release or plugin which may address this issue if it is indeed true?
Thanks for any help,
Jesse Perry

They way I tested this was to use the Acrobat JavaScript console, Advanced > Document Processing > JavaScript Debugger..., to create a new document.
I created a page that was over 200". The Acrobat JavaScript API measures in points, 72 points to an inch. A 200" page would 14400 points, so in the JS console I wrote:
app.newDoc(15000, 15000);
This would create a 208.3 inch document. I checked the size of the resulting document in the Document Properties panel's "General" tab. The document was 200".

Single page view mode in Acrobat Reader on android

Is there a way for a pdf to dictate the view mode used in Acrobat Reader on a smart phone? By default I believe it is set to continuous however I would like it to automatically change to single page when my pdf is opened.

Mark -
You are correct.
In Acrobat Reader on my PC, I'm highlighting text and then adding a sticky-note comment to it.
So, if I just insert a sticky note comment without highlighting the associated text in the document, I can see the sticky note when I view the document on my android device - - just tested this and it works!
OK - I can live with that, but it would be good if the combination of highlighting AND sticky notes were visible when viewin the document in Android - the highlightimg feature makes it clearer to what piece of text the sticky bote relates to. Hope it can be incorporated in a furure release.
Thanks for clarifying the situation for me.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running please exit and try again. (0:521)

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running please exit and try again. (0:521)
Although I have found other threads in this forum relating to this error - none of the fixes appear to work. I've not found precisely the same error number (0:521), might I need a different fix for this? Has anyone else had the same error?
Just to note, this appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 while viewing pdfs 'in-browser' i.e. using the plugin. Other versions of IE on other machines and FF on the same machine work fine on the same pdfs. It also works if you right click the pdf, download and view it in Acrobat Reader 'locally'.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm stumped.

We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

Acrobat Reader 8 and digital signatures

What are the limitations of Acrobat Reader 8 with respect to digital signatures? I have been trying to create a form, that can be distributed through e-mail and digitally signed by Acrobat Reader 8 users, and am getting unpredictable results. It seemed like these users were able to sign this document last week, but today are unable to. Is the digital signature feature entirely stable?
I have read through the documentation and it is vague at best and seems to blur the lines between Acrobat Reader and Professional.

>What are the limitations of Acrobat Reader 8 with respect to digital signatures?
Generally, it can't do them. (Adobe Reader, if I was being picky, the
name was changed after 5.0).
You CAN enable signing using a special function. However, you are
contractually limited by the EULA; to oversimplify, no more than 500
users per form, or uses per form.

Interactive PDFs won't scale in Acrobat Reader

Once I create an interactive PDF using InDesign CS5 and view it in Acrobat Reader 10, the functionality works fine but when I scale the page size in Acrobat Reader from 100% to larger or smaller, the interactive elements stay at 100% and are cropped when the scale is smaller and have a large space around them when the scale is larger.
Is there an export feature that allows the interactive elements to scale with the page size? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks.

How did you create it? There was a known issue with the original release of CS5 but that was supposed to be fixed with one of the patches. If you're on CS5 then you should make sure you're fully patched to 7.0.3.

Forcing on Highlight Fields upon Open and Saving in Acrobat Reader

I'm using the Actions panel in the Page Properties to turn on the Highlight Fields when my PDF document is opened using:
if (!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
and this works perfectly, however this document is being viewed mostly in Acrobat Reader. In order to allow my users to save the content in the forms I turned on, "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader".
The first time this new file is opened, the field highlights turn on, however after content is saved to the forms and the document is resaved the Highlight Fields no long turn on when the document is opened.
How can I utilize both of these options even after the file is resaved?
Thanks

It should work better if you add this script as a document-level script, instead of a pageOpen script.
However, keep in mind that you are changing an user's preference setting, which is considered to be not so nice.
Hope this can help.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser

The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?

"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Here's the simple solution:
1. Open Adobe 9
2. Select Help on main Toolbar
3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
Success.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/
