Acrobat 9 opens all recently opened documents

Since I installed Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on a clean system, everytime I start Acrobat or open a pdf-file, all other pdf-files I recently opened have been reopened automaticly. So I open pdf-A, and after the blink of an eye, pdf-B and pdf-C etc are opened too.
I tried to reinstall Acrobat but that won't work. Maybe there is a problem with Photoshop CS4 which is running on my computer too. On my old system, without Photoshop, Acrobat was running fine.
I hope you can help me.
p.s: Sry for my english, it's not my mother tongue

With much relief, I have found a temporary work-around for Windows users, at least:
Create a New User Account on your computer, then login as the new user, who, of course, has no recently opened documents. I'll be then be using LoriAUC's suggesttion to clear the history regularly.

Acrobat error opening document

When I try and open a .pdf document I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I have Acrobat Pro 10.1.7 on my iMac computer. Why do some PDF documents open and others have this error message?

Do you have any other browsers installed? (Firefox, Chrome, Opera)
I'm curious if it does this with another browser. I have five installed because I have to test web pages all day. I downloaded a dozen PDFs this morning using Safari. (6.0.5) they all opened without a hitch, but since I first saw this problem a few weeks ago, I've downloaded PDFs in all five browsers to try and duplicate the error, unsuccessfully.
I have a lot of software, and even a lot of "junk" (games, and plugins) on this Mini. I've filled 185 gigs since I got it last Saturday. One thing I've NEVER run on a Mac (except when I was testing for McAffee) is antivirus. I've never had anything that infected one of my Macs, so I've never seen the need... plus I keep all my installers on an external drive so if worse comes to worst, I can be reloaded and back up in less than a day.
I can't help this nagging feeling that something is corrupting the downloads during the download process before it's on your HD.
Try another browser and let me know if the problem persists.

I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3 with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud . I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook. I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again

On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

HT2506 When I open the application preview why do all my previous documents pop up?

Hi I have a macbook air mountain lion computer and whenever I double click a picture it opens preview, however all the previous documents I've loaded before pop up too. Why is this happening? I only want that one picture to pop up on my screen. Is there a setting I can change?

Nope - restarting didn't help either!
well it seems inconsistent.
Starting word did get me just a blank document.
but starting excel (from the dock) got me 3 recent spreadsheets.
I find this very annoying.

Acrobat cannot open files in the "Adobe PDF document" format

The document “example.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
Hi All,
Running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 on Snow Leopard, have never had this problem before. Showed up about a week ago, I believe with new update. Can't double click on a file in Finder, or drag and drop to AcrobatPro in Dock, but can open from within Acrobat Pro / File / Open command.
All my preferences are correct with "Open With Acrobat Pro" as the default.
I've read all the threads I can find with no answers yet.
Anyone found and answer, I see a lot of us are going through this over the last year.
Only possible common thread I have found is possibly HP printers. But I've been running HP printers all along with no issues.
Thanks for you input.

Moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
Either Acrobat needs to be re-installed or the file is named as a pdf file, but it is not a pdf file. Try opening the pdf file in a text editor and read off what the first line of the file is.

Adobe Reader 9.4 has started to open all my PDF documents continuously

Recently, every time I open Adobe Reader, or click on a PDF document on file to open it, Reader starts opening all PDF documents on file continuously until I get a message saying there are too many open documents to open any more. The only way out appears to be use of force quit.
Have I picked up some kind of virus, or is there just a setting that I need to change?

Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion. Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit. So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply. But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old. Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature. In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar). If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All. So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit). I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try. Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

Why do Preview and other programs always open the most recently opened documents?

This is a minor issue but it bugs me a lot because I never have more windows/documents up than necessary. Every time I open a PDF in Preview, it also opens up all the documents that were up when I quit Preview before. All the Office programs do the same thing. I've searched high and low in the individual program preferences, and nothing works--for example, unchecking "Track recently opened documents" doesn't help for PowerPoint, and I don't even see a similar setting for Preview. Since it's a pan-program problem, I looked in the general System Prefs and I tried unchecking "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." Didn't help. I even re-started. Didn't help (the "Restore windows..." box is still unchecked though, it didn't re-check it). What can I do to stop this silly setting???
Thanks!

That looks like it would work...for someone who knows how to do it! That is way over my head. I found this article in another thread and it looks do-able for someone as tech-unsavvy as me, except that I can't find the "Saved Application State" folder that they talk about, not even if I search using Spotlight or Alfred. Sigh. Any other ideas, or am I doomed if I can't write script?

How to stop Acrobat opening document after printing to PDFmaker?

Hello,
When I print to PDFmaker, I just want Acrobat (Professional 7.0) to save the document, but it insists on opening a new window containing the recently printed document. If I quickly open another window, it brings the document window back to the top.
This is very irritating. How do I make it stop opening this unnecessary window?
Thanks,
Katie
PS. If relevant, I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 1520.

From your Start Menu select Printers and Faxes. Right click on the listing for Adobe PDF and click Printing Preferences... and go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab. Uncheck the box labeled View Adobe PDF results. Click OK.

Pages won't open document because I need an updated version. But I have the most recent version! Help!, Pages won't open document because I need an updated version. But I have the most recent version! Help!

Trying to open a recent Pages document - get the message I need a newer version of Pages. Apps indicates I have the latest version.
Kind of feels like I'm running word... Ugh.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.
1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear. I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone. There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on. When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones. The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything. Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
3- I cannot delete any apps. I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it. I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself. I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result. I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen. If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway). If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
So now I'm stuck. My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step. Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever. I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Sales document report for all open documents

hi i need the code for sales document report for all open documents is sd
... can anyone help me out.
thanks in advance

Try transaction VA05. In that choose "Open Orders" along with other selection criteria.
If you want the Open sales order qty in output and its not displayed, do the following.
Sales -> System modification -> create new fields ( without condition technique) -> New fields for lists.
You can change V05TZZMO and structure VBMTVZ from there or use SE38 / SE11.
For both you'll need an object registration in OSS.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Getting "open recent" items and "open documents" from an application

How do I ask Textedit (if running) for the list of documents currently open?
How do I ask Textedit (if running ) for the list of "open recent" items?
Thank you

Thank you. This does the job for "opened documents" in TextEdit and other applications. I wish there were a similar method for "open recent" items. Each application (TextEdit, BBEdit etc) seems to handle the "open recent" items in its own way!
Thank you again.

Looking for PS Script to Save and Close All Open Documents

I used ACR and CS5 to process my Nikon D3 NEF files. I would like a script that would save all open documents (witin PS) with the highest possible quality (12). I've found several scripts that will close all open documents with save but cannot figure out how to implement a save script.
For example, I may have 20 converted .jpeg files open. I would like to run a script to save & close all open documents.
Is it possible? Can someone post an example working script?

Take a look at the image processor, under the scripts menu.

I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, is there a way I can do this or change them all to Pages?

I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, as the new system does not support this, can I get around this somehow?, or some way to change the documents all to "Pages"? Or, should I reinstall the Leopard OS, change all the word documents to Pages and then reinstall Lion?
Thanks

You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.

Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

I've tried Command Q to close; Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out; I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message:
There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
Thanks

Looks like it got stuck.
You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.
