Acrobat 9 freezing mouse

Couple days ago, acrobat popped up when I tried to print a page from the web, and told me it needed to be run again as part of the suite it was installed with.. So I fired up PS.It shut down and didn't print that page.
Since then anytime I try to print from the web to a PDF, or SOME pages with PDFS, printing will turn the mouse to mollasses. And opening SOME pdfs from the web kill the IE7 browser, and don't open the PDF. I just printed one a few minutes ago. It didn't print what I saw on screen, the meat was missing, but it printed all the ads around the edges. And mouse went into slow motion. Eventually it did close the PDF..
In my task mnaager, I see 2 instances [different sizes] of acrotray, and acrobast itself.
Not even one error message, possibly cause I don't have the patience for this to find out it's messing up.
This happened once before, but the slow motion mouse didn't happen. firing up PS was all it needed to fix.
Oh the activate on acrobat is grayed out.
So what do I need to do to fix it this time ?

Does teh scanner freeze when used with a graphics package or other access?

When copying a comment between 2 documents, the comment comes in sideways and Acrobat freezes up.

Using Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4, Win XP Pro.
If I have two documents open, and am making comments in each, and try to copy-paste a comment from one document to the other, the comment comes in sideways and/or Acrobat freezes up requiring a forced close via Task Manager.
Is there a way to fix this without just re-entering or re-typing the comment text/re-drawing the markups in the second document?

That usually means the pages in one of the documents have a rotation applied (e.g. if the screen appears to show a landscape page, it's actually a portrait page with a 90-degree rotation setting). Comments inherit the rotations of the page they were first placed on, and aside from undoing the rotations before commenting, it's not a simple thing to fix.
That doesn't explain why Acrobat is crashing - if possible please submit any crash reports to Microsoft, and if it's repeatable please log a bug report at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

Acrobat freezes when adding a signature field

We are currently using Acrobat 9.5.5 (updated on 12th June 2013) on a windows 7 (64-bit) machine, when adding a signature field to a PDF that has been created using the AdobePDF printer (from a file created in AutoCAD 2013) Acrobat freezes and starts to use excessive amounts of RAM (peaking at around 1.9GB), and eventually either crashes or after about 30 seconds adds the field.
We've tried to use Acrobat XI (trial version), but this seems to make the problem worse (using over 3.5GB of RAM) and taking in excess of a minute to eventually add the field.
The problem seems to be limited to certain files, 2 in particular are causing the problem, both of which are around 5MB in size, when we add a signature to other smaller files the problem isn't as crippling, the "freeze" only stays for a couple of seconds and the field is usually added.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 causes MS Office 2003 to freeze & mouse to malfunction - HELP!

After installing Acrobat 9.0 Professional on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer running Microsoft Office 2003 the following issues arose (note these issues were solved be uninstalling Acrobat). Does anyone have a fix?
1. Microsoft Internet Explorer stopped working - program would not launch.
2. Mouse click disabled - pointer worked but both click buttons disabled.
3. The following dialogue box opens in word when closing Word - Acrobat was not in use at the time, but it was installed on the machine:
"Do you want to save the changes to PDFMCustom?"
The Microsoft Office Program "Word 2003" would freeze at this point.
We need to run Acrobat on this machine - and unfortunately, we need Explorer and Office too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I can suggest to try this one:
Found that the file, PDFMOutlook.dll, is the culprit for many of your longstanding woes with the toolbar. A common way to eliminate the toolbar is to unregister the dll. This can be done by going to Start > Run and typing the following:
regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”
While this indeed does get rid of the toolbar, it’s not a recommended method as it basically just keeps the file from being loaded when you start Outlook. To return the PDFMaker on the toolbar I’ll recommend that you re-register the dll file. To re-register the file, simply go to Start > Run and type the following:
regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

Macbook pro 13" screen/applications freeze -- mouse continues working

hi all,
i saw a few threads similar to mine, but none of them were answered.
basically, i was using netflix on my macbook pro which is a 13" that i purchased for school back towards the end of july 2010. its version 10.6.3 and i haven't had any problems with it until today.
It has frozen twice today so far, and the first time I was using photobooth, itunes, and firefox. photobooth was taking pictures and then all of a sudden I went to click the button and it wouldn't select. I thought this was weird because the mouse was still moving. I realized I couldn't click on anything but the webcam was still showing me moving and itunes was still playing the song normally. I did a hard shutdown.
I started up my laptop again and went to play a movie on netflix (this movie had been open, but was paused when it froze the first time).
I started playing the movie and when to pause it to take a phone call when I realized that it was frozen again because I couldn't select anything. I did another hard shut down and I've been on the web with it since trying to find an answer to my problem.
any answers would be super appreciated! and if you know of a thread where this has been answered that would help a lot too! thanks so much

there is a new development... i don't think its my screen freezing... i think it might be my mouse clicks aren't registering...
i was on a website just a few seconds ago, and i had highlighted something and as i went to click copy it wouldn't let me. but when i used two fingers it let me right click, and the mouse still moved around. Then i went over to my desk and moved my magic mouse around and low and behold it worked. I clicked a few things with my magic mouse and then thought, "hey i might as well try the trackpad" and for some ungodly reason the trackpad was clicking and working.....
i have no idea if these two events are related or if this is the reason for my other problem, but is anyone else having this problem?

Please help! my iMac keeps freezing, mouse and keyboard do not work after

Early this morning I turned on my iMac and started downloading updates through software update as usual. I was browsing a website in Safari when all of a sudden the "zoom" feature activated itself and I could not turn it off. I restarted and the keyboard started typing different characters but not letters, so I took out my installation CD and it took me quite a while to reboot the computer using the CD as a startup. Since the keyboard had a different input, the C key was not running the CD. I tried loggin into the support page, but it downloaded the links into the desktop. I used system utilities to restart the computer from the CD, I verified the Disk Permissions, then Repaired the permisions, then the Verify Disk and then the Repair disk, in that order. I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine, but after a couple of minutes the mouse starts closing windows, downloading website links into the desktop and then the keyboard freezes and does not let me type! This has repeated over and over, and I don't know what to do!
Posting this message has been quite an achievement, because I have restarted the computer a lot of times in order to finish.
Someone please help! I don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks!

Yes. And since you aren't backed up, you may have to use Prosoft Data Rescue to try to recovery any information that is critical. First though, do you have another Mac you can hook this one up to using Target Disk Mode?
If you do, that's another way to rescue information. Target Disk Mode is explained here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Similarly, if you have a bootable external hard drive, you can try to boot off that with the Startup manager:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
To rescue your information. This at least will allow you to do further analysis to see what data corruption might have happened. If the drive is invisible when booted off another, that may indicate a directory issue. But first let's see if we can attach or boot off another and see the internal drive of the machine.

Acrobat freezes when I OCR pdf files. How do I fix this?!?

I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat 11 yesterday onto my MacBook Air. When I try to OCR documents Abobe semi-freezes, meaning that it won't let me save what it has just OCR'd, it won't let me close, it won't even let me minimize the window. I say "semi-freezes" because it actually does ask me if I want to "save," but trying to do that, or trying to decline to do that and close, is futile. The only way I can get out of this is to shut the computer down completely and then turn it back on again. This is a disaster because 90% of my job involves working with PDF files and I can't work unless I can OCR these documents. They are numerous, voluminous, and use many complex terms.
Please give me step-by-step instructions as to how to fix this, and please assume I know absolutely ZERO technical things about computers. Many thanks. Pete

Moved to https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/scanning_%26_ocr.
I have used Acrobat 11 on a Macbook Air using both OX X,9 and X.10 without issue. Can I ask which version of Acrobat 11 you are using and what version of OS X? Additionally, are you seeing a freeze or a spinning pizza wheel of death. I have an older machine in which the spinning pizza wheel occurs whenever it feels like and I can wait for minutes before it returns control to me.

MacPro Freezes - Mouse Functions - Reboot Required

Need some help. I've been experiencing problems with my pre-2009 Mac Pro for the last 4-6 months. I thought it might have been an OS issue but when I installed the new Snow Leopard, that didnt fix the problem.
My system after being on for minutes to hours (and not all the time) will freeze. I can still move the wired mouse around the screen but the bluetooth keyboard does not function nor can I click on any program in the dock or file menus. It requires me to force quit the Mac and then takes about 2-3 restarts for the system to turn on properly. Sometimes, even the mouse cursor will freeze.
Im running a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon on OS 10.6.1. I have 4GB of memory and running an ATI Radeon X1900XT graphics card. I have (2) 500GB & (2) 750GB hard drives installed with plenty of space. Only my main 500GB drive that holds my applications has 20GB of space left but that shouldnt be causing any problems.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

I have to disagree with your conclusion that HFS+ is happy to have 4% free space, and who knows how fragmented that is.
Plus, hard drives, and system triple so, don't like or perform well full (more than 70%, ideal is less).
3 yr old X1900. Do you use 3rd party cooler? clean dust bunnies every 3 months? run the fans @ 800 rpm by default?
New drive. Zero drive. Clean install OS. Import files once you confirm it works. REPLACE X1900 with ATI 4870. WD Caviar Black 640GB boot drive. Let us know how that feels. And DO use Disk Warrior - preventative maintenance on weekly basis.

Airport/freezing/mouse track won't work

Hey guys, I'm wondering if you could help with my iBook G4. I'm beginning to get seriously annoyed with it. I bought it back in September and it was fine up until recently where it has begun crashing. It tells me that I need to push down the power button to power down. When that happens, I shut it down and then I power it back up again. However, when it does load up, Airport cannot be found/does not exist. When I try to run disk utility, or any other program, it freezes. Not only that but the mouse track will no longer respond.
I'm bloody well tired of having to restart it over 10 times. I've updated all the necessary software and hardware on here. Maybe this happened when I updated the Airport software. I am running some third party software, but that hardly crashes the laptop. There are times when it won't respond and I just force quit applications.
I'm really annoyed and I need this laptop to work. I've also found that the build of iBook is loose like it has been altered before being sent to me.
Any help would be necessary. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It seems you are encountering a . The cause of a kernel panic could be hardware or software. If your AirPort card is not available after a crash like this, that could be a telling sign. Perhaps your AirPort card itself is loose? A loose connection could cause a kernel panic. You might try taking it out and putting it back in to make sure it's secure.
If that doesn't help, you might visit Dr. Smoke's great FAQ about troubleshooting kernel panics here.

Great news!!!
Adobe Acrobat build with Thinapp 5.1.1 haven't this bug.

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 update freezes mouse pointer

After installing the update released today 5/28 (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) my mouse pointer stalls, freezes on occasion. Very annoying. Anyone seeing the same. Fixes ... ?

After applying the SMC Firmware update a few days ago, my keyboard and trackpad were acting erratic (freezing, hanging). It was immediately after the update and I had not had any problems with it before.
I have also had random crashes, inability to use the keyboard/trackpad ever since.
Today my keyboard and trackpad are completely unusable, external mouse works fine.
I will take it to an Apple store tomorrow, hopefully my firmware can be reverted.
Sounds like a lot of other people are having problems with this update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9549034&tstart=0#9549034

Acrobat freezes when clicking on the toolbar.

Not sure if this is the right part to post this, didn't see a troubleshooting section. But whenever I click on the toolbar buttons in Acrobat X, it freezes on me. I have to do ctrl+alt+del and go to the task manager to be able to use it again. I have made sure all updates are installed and did a uninstall and reinstall and the problem still happens. Is there a setting I may have to change to stop this from happening?

Can you let us know what version of Acrobat (point version), Word, and Windows you're using?

Acrobat Freezes

I have Adobe CS3 installed on my computer now. I am running windows XP
When I open a pdf file and click on the file button on top I start to scroll down to print the doccument and it freezes on the word Organize. It just freezes there and I have to shut down the program. Also if I am in a program and I want to print to the PDF driver it also freezes. I have a 2.3 Ghz processor and 2 gigs of ram. WHen I try to print to the PDF driver it opens Distiller, it starts and then freezes. Here is the error message that is displayed
Error in PDFX4 2007.Joboptions:/check compliance out of range.
It seems to keep starting and stopping. When I try to exit Distiller it just keeps retrying so it will not let me close it. I have to reboot my system to get it to shut down.
I had Adobe CS2 on the computer before and it did the same thing. I even installed Acrobat on another computer and I do not have these problems. I would imagine that it is an issue with some kind of settings with my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure if this will reply--can't find a reply on the site. It is Adobe
Reader--the latest version. I'm going to install an earlier one.
