3rd Party Software Not Seeing That Adobe Reader XI Is Installed.

I have a few pieces of (custom) software that with previous versions of Adobe Reader (7, 8, 9, and X), would open Adobe Reader automatically when selecting to open a PDF from within the software.
When the pc's were updated to Reader XI, the software no longer sees that Reader is installed, therefore will not open the PDF files as it should.
I have since rolled the pc's back to Reader X and the software works, but I would like to get XI working due to some needed features in XI.
Is there something within the Adobe Reader XI install that is different, or in  different location from previous versions? (i.e. different registry key locations, some Reader files installed to different locations, etc?)
If anyone knows something that did change, I may be able to work with the 3rd party developers and get this resolved.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

  • Why is the Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing that Photoshop CC is already installed?

    I have Photoshop CC 32bit and 64bit installed on a W7 64bit, 3770, 32Gb ram etc system.  No operating problems with Photoshop CC at all.  But I have just used the Creative Cloud desktop app (I'm not sure if "app" is the right term - it looks like a CC "Manager") - red icon - to update Photoshop CC.  No problems with this.  But curiously, where Photoshop CC is listed in all the available CC programs, its status is shown as "install".  It is already installed.
    Grateful for any explanation.  I'm not losing sleep over it, just curious.  Thanks.

    Make sure that your Language settings are the same between the apps and the Application Manager.  i.e.  Both English North American or English International.  (I had the same problem, and that fixed it.)

  • Deleting 3rd party software

    Hello,
    We want to delete a 3rd party software bolt-on that all resides in its own namespace /epiuse/.This is in our DEV,TEST and PROD systems. The original system for all objects is different to ours. How can this be done easily ?. There must be an easier and quicker way than to register each object so you can delete it.
    cheers

    If the amount of storage for your Messages is not decreasing when you delete some (or all), then you need to try resetting your device to see if it will clear it up. I just went to my device and checked the amount of storage being used by Messages (13 MB). Then I deleted the 6 messages I had, and went back to check the Usage. It is now 3 MB.
    To reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen displays, check your usage again.

  • 3rd Party Software for Charting

    Can anyone recommend 3rd Party Software for Charting (pie chart, bar chart etc)
    I have tried to use the Cold Fusion charts <CFCHART> etc..... but they just dont create professional looking charts.
    I bought Fusion Charts.
    It worked great for a while.
    But the charts dont render on IPADS and now they have printing issues.
    So now I have decided to start anew.
    I want charting software that outputs to professional looking JPG, GIF or PNG images (NO FLASH!!)
    Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that integrates well with my existing cold fusion pages?

    in case you already didn't know, you can go a long way by tweaking the
    webcharts3D bits that cf uses for cfchart. look under your cf install for the
    cfusion\charting dir. there should be a batch file to start the editor & a user
    guide PDF. there's even an eclipse plugin:

    *Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that

    we have more "sciencey" needs for our charting than cfchart can easily provide &
    use jfreechart for most of our apps' graphing.

    though to get the most of this lib you probably need to cough up $65 US for the

  • My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0.

    My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can no longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    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 launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • Why does Adobe install 3rd party software with PE 10 without asking?

    I purchased Photoshop Elements and Priemere Elements 10 together. During installation Adobe installed SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5 on my computer. The installation did not ask if I wanted to install this software and there was no option to not install it. I am the only one who installs applications on my computer so what gives Adobe the right to decide what to install for me. Sonicfire Pro 5 is unwanted by me and it pains me greatly that software was installed on my computer without my consent. Besides it takes up 30GB of disk space. Yes I can uninstall it and I will but it should not have been installed in the first place. I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 because I was happy with my purchase of Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 and wanted to have newer versions but now I am very unhappy. I will never buy a Adobe product or suggest Adobe products to anyone ever again. The only thing that would change my mind would be if Adobes next version did not contain any 3rd party software or if it did one should be given a choice during installation as to install it or not and Adobe should give me a free version to replace the one I have. As those two things are unlikely to happen I will continue to never buy any Adobe software or suggest to anyone to buy Adobe products and faithfully watch the stock market as Adobe stocks continue to decline. Guess what I do for a living!

    I did not answer you question, because I have no answer. That was why I recommended contacting Adobe. Though, at times, it might not seem like it, but they do listen to their customers. They collect tons of data, and try to prioritize things, based on that input. This is for Feature Requests, or just comments on how one likes, or does not like, the software.
    In very general terms, I find Adobe products to be very benign, and especially to many other companies' software.
    Over the decades, I only recall a few instances, where something was installed, without my input, at some level. Back about PS CS, there were some NIK Filters that were installed, and a few of them were "trials," which I am not keen on. SmartSound would be another example, except that I would want it, regardless (and probably only complain, if it was missing).
    One of the biggest rubs that I had with Pinnacle Studio was that even if one bought their biggest, most expensive package, a ton of Effects and Transitions were loaded as trials. To get all of those, one had to spend about US $400, above the price of the NLE. Not sure if that is still the case, as I switched to AVID Liquid, about they time they bought Pinnacle, and have not seen Pinnacle Studio in many years. When I moved from Liquid, to PrPro, and the CS2 Production Studio, I never looked back at AVID/Pinnacle. Now, CS2 Production Studio came with about 8 programs, and then a ton of "Goodies." I would have loved to have the Goodies as options in the full suite installation. As it was, I had to do the main, muli-program install, and then run installation routines for maybe 30 other plug-ins, add-ons and stand-alones.
    No, like you, I refuse to update my iTunes, as so much "other stuff" gets installed, and then I have to clean it out. You are not alone, except that we see SmartSound from different sides. Though I understand your not wanting anything, but the program, I view that as a necessity.
    My suggestion to Adobe would be to include that as a separate, user-selectable install, though I have never heard of anyone complaining, unless SmartSound did not work for them.
    I understand personal principles, and try to adhere to my own, but before you pass on SmartSound, I beg you to try it out. That will not ameliorate the need for Adobe to let the user decide what is/is not installed, but with a few sessions, you might change your mind about the program, itself.
    Do let Adobe know how you feel, and perhaps SmartSound will become an additional installation, like the additional Functional Content.
    Good luck,

    I've fixed the problem - I think.
    I forgot I had the program "Little Snitch" installed on my computer. So I went into it and saw that it was blocking most of my connections for all the programs I use on a daily basis. Once I lifted the RULE to those certain programs - BAM - everything came back to life in an instant!

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    I've noticed that CDs loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.
    Regards.

  • HT1338 i have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    I have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    Backup your music to an external source before doing this, just in case you delete the originals by accident.
    iTunes will show you the duplicates.  But I recommend tagging their comments or another field once selecting them to ensure you don't accidentally delete both the original and duplicate.  You can always select all of them and change all their comment tags at once.  Once you've done that, stop showing duplications, and then sort by the comment field.  This will allow you to determine whether only the duplicates were shown in the show duplicates, or the originals.  If you see any without comments, then you can go ahead and delete the duplicates.

  • Any 3rd party software to recover video taken with iPad and not yet backed up

    I accidently deleted a video clip, taken with the iPad 3. iPad has not been backed up since as this video was shot yesterday and I was out of town and unable to back up iPad yet. Are there any 3rd party solutions to recover that file? I've turned off the iPad to prevent over righting.
    I think it's unbelievable that it could be so easy to possibly permanently delete content from such an advanced device

  • 3rd party software to enable reading .bbb

    Hi. Where can I get access to 3rd party software that will enable me to read the Contacts file that I backed up on my PC from my BB? Thanks.

    Hello,
    There are plenty of free PC-based apps that can parse a BBB file and present it in human readable format. A few seconds on google and I'm sure you will find what you need. Search perhaps using "bbb file reader" or something.
    Good luck!
