Acrobat 9.4.2 update breaks 'attach to email' functionality

Everyone - The recent 9.4.2 CPSID_83708 Acrobat update has caused the 'attach to email' function not to work. This is happening for at least two of my users whose computers are running Windows XP Professional. I just installed the update on my Windows Vista machine in an effort to recreate the issue, but the problem did not manifest itself in my Vista machine.
I have read with interest the print problems that several users are reporting related to this patch. I have had no problems printing, but the 'attach to email' issue is extremely troubling to us. I realize that the work-around is to send the attachments directly from our email program which we are doing. However, this does not decrease the urgency to get this resolved. Some of our users are extremely accustomed to accomplishing tasks in a certain manner, and much stress results when I try to change their habits.
When they click 'attach to email', an error message comes up that says 'Adobe Acrobat 9.4.2 has encountered a problem and needs to close.' I am attaching the detailed information that I could view from the error window below. Please advise on how I can uninstall this 'uninstallable' patch. I have currently advised users to opt out of any Adobe updates, but I am sure that people will continue to receive them.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Could someone from Adobe respond to this specific issue so that we know we are being heard? Will the fix for the print issue also resolve the 'attach to email' problem? Is there any work around other than telling users to attach directly from their email programs?
Thanks in advance for your response to our concerns.

Acrobat 9.0 - "attach to email" function no longer works (Win 7, MS Outlook 2010)

Dear All,
All of a sudden, my "attach to email" function no longer works. If I open a PDF in Acrobat 9.0, and I try to "attach to email," nothing happens. This feature has always worked for me in the past. When I check for updates, Acrobat reports that I'm up to date. I recently updated Flash Player 16 and Reader XI (11.0.10).
My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit, and I use MS Outlook 2010.
Thanks so much for your time.

Hi rlee711,
You might need to refer this kb file to resolve the issue:
Attach To Email doesn't work | Acrobat 9.4.2
Although, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Outlook 10, I would like you to prefer using only the supported product.
To understand in detail, please refer the link given below:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

Acrobat 7.0 - internal error when attaching to email

I have Acrobat 7.0 on a Windows Server 2003 machine with Outlook 2003 and everytime I click the attach to email button I get an "An Internal Error has Occured". I want to be able to email the pdf directly from Adobe rather than save the file and attach it to an email.

The MAPI trail was the right one. Sever 2003 doesn't recommend the use of Outlook on Server 2003. There are some work arounds but they are too sophisticated for me. Thanks for your response.

Attach to email function does not respond when Outlook is open.

We use Outlook 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.2. Our users export a report from our ERP system which converts it to PDF and opens in Adobe Reader. Our users then need to use the "Send file as email" function.
If Outlook is open whilst doing this the envelope button simply greys out for a couple of minutes and then become available again. If Outlook is closed it opens a new Outlook email and attaches the file as expected.
I've tested this on various PC's and various versions, down to 9.5, of Adobe Reader with the same result.
If you first save the file the function works fine.

You may just want to say Remove Email after X days. By not removing your email most carries restrict mailbox size and you will allow it to fill up and then stop newemails from arriving. so You may want to choose Remove emails after say 3 days this way you get it on the phone and on the PC. I run mine at 1 day but thats just me....
Thanks

Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

Anyone have any ideas for this one?
Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
Try this:
1. Open any PDF document on a Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
2. Add the 'Text Box Tool' to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
a. Select Style: No Border
b. Select Fill Color: No Color
c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
d. Click OK.
7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
Results:
1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call
3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
Error signature
AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
Additional Information
At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

The question still is not answered.
The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat 8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

Adobe Reader 'Attach to Email' is not working

I have a client that is running Windows 7 and when opening a PDF with Adobe Reader is unable to use the "Attach to Email" function. We tried this with Adobe X, Adobe 9.3, Adobe 9.4.2. None of these will work. An error occurs: "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program." We get the same error on any of these versions. For some reason Adobe 9.3.4 upgrade does not install with 9.3, where I read in a resource discussion that this version should work ion Windows 7.
Adobe Reader X seems to be a known issue with Windows 7 for this problem. My client recently upgraded from Windows XP and did not have this problem on that OS. A current work-around is to save the PDF then attach it to an email, but she would greatly prefer to use the Attach to Email function within Adobe Reader without having to save the PDF and manually attach it.
Thanks for any help!

I have the same issue using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows 7. Attach to email function is NOT working.
It worked when I had outlook 2007 installed, but I couldn't find where to change the setting to thunderbird.
I uninstalled outlook. Now the attach to email feature won't work at all.
Thunderbird is set to the default email client in windows . . . this is extremely annoying!!
File > Attach to email . . . It appears this feature doesn't work with any emails client except outlook??????
Attach to email worked on WinXP for Lotus Notes 8.5 email client (maybe an older Adobe Reader, version 9.4), but not after we upgraded to Win7. No Adobe Reader versions we have tried will work on Win7 for Lotus Notes.

Does it matter that Acrobat 9.4.2 update loses XMP logo?

I am hoping for confirmation that a change in Acrobat 9's presentation of XMP metadata is a benign UI problem rather than something more serious. As described over on the Acrobat forums, the 9.4.2 update for Acrobat (Mac and Windows) broke printing for many people; Adobe has posted a notes admitting the problem on both the Windows and Mac forums. I can still print, but when I check Additional Metadata (on the Description tab of Properties) the "Powered by XMP" logo has been replaced with a red circle beneath a white X, suggesting some kind of error. The XMP logo does appear when I check the metadata via Document\Examine Document, working down the tree Metadata, Document, Show Preview. Either way, the metadata still shows, even the custom metadata I added to some files via a customization of the SDK's Generic panel in IDCS4. (I run Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 under up-to-date 64-bit Vista Home Premium.)
I described the situation (with screenshots) over in the Windows forum but it fell off the the first page without eliciting a response, I suspect in part because XMP is not often discussed there. I impose on the participants here in the XMP SDK forum in hopes of confirming the problem is more general than the 9.4.2 installations I've tested (4 for 4). Plus with a series of metadata-filled PDFs due later this week it would be nice to hear from an expert that the apparent error is indeed benign.
Thank you,
David W. Goodrich

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: MBP61.0057.B0C
SMC Version (system): 1.58f15

Actually it is not-so-permitted to remove sophos for this machine, but I did it anyhow. No problem so far, but lack of evidence is not evidence of being lack of something so I am not adding it to the list yet

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 Update - can no longer see PCs on network (e.g. ping/offer remote assistance)

Hello - I just did the Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 update in two different offices and the strangest thing happened while finishing 4 computers today.
I did the restart after installing the last update - 9.3.2 - and I can not connect to the computers again.
The workstations are Windows XP Pro SP3..on a SBS2003 network. The computers restart and the users can log back into the network and have no problems accessing network resources, Internet, etc. The only problem is that I can not ping the workstations from the server...I can not connect to the workstations from the server either. It's very strange how this has happened to the last 4 workstations today - when I had no problems with the other workstations yesterday.
I had the users restart the workstations several times - no luck - even shutdown/restart - no luck.
I am not in the offices to troubleshoot further in person....but I can have somebody be my "hands" onsite if need be.
Has anyone come across this before and know how to fix it - fingers crossed!!
Thanks!
Tammy

Make sure that registry values below are not set to 1:
"DisablePatch" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
"DisableLUAPatching" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Good luck

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update.

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update. Now when I click that option, up comes a box that asks me to enter the recipients email and their name. I did a test and it send it to the recipient without me being able to add signature boxes for the recipient in Echosign. It used to upload the document to Echosign and then I could position the recipients signature boxes before sending to them for their signatures...By the way, I use a Macbook Pro.

I want to clarify. When I make a document (in my case a real estate form) I click the "sign" tab in Acrobat XI then "get others to sign." A blue box pops up and says "uploading to Echosign." This is normal so far. At this point, before the recent Echosign update, my browser would automatically open up to the Echosign website and show my document that was just uploaded. Then I was able to position signature boxes for the recipients. Now what happens is a box comes up on my screen and just wants me to send the recipient an email. See photo...

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

Unable to install Acrobat 8.2 Standard update

I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2 update and it always fails with the error"Internal Error 2254. , Registry"
I have tried this on both Windows 2000 and XP and get the same error.
Prior to the patch install, the product version was 8.1.7
The same patch also applies to Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 and I was able to install it without any issue.

Are you doing this manually by going to the update site and downloading the update, or by the Adobe automatic update process?
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
