Acrobat Icon

Upgraded the latest version of Adobe Acrobat X, 10.1.2 yesterday. After a few minutes, the Acrobat icon on my desktop changes to the first page of the pdf document. Had this same problem with previous versions of Acrobat.
How do I maintain the document's Acrobat Icon on desktop? Thanks.

It seems that my previous message in this thread has got lost in the Internet.
If it's the icons of your files changing to the typical PDF icon (and not the files themselves being converted to PDF format), you may want to try this:

Adding more Acrobat Icons in Outlook? Acrobat 9 Standard and/or Pro

Does anyone have the ability to add more Acrobat icons in Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007? I have been looking for a way to add a icon for Append to Existing PDF. Acrobat 7 had it but now we have Acrobat 9.
The current way to append is to click on Adobe PDF, Convert Selected Messages, Append to Existing PDF. The Append to Existing PDF icon in Outlook saves an extreme amount of time. This was very useful and is missed greatly.
If anyone knows of a way to add a new icon or a third-party add-in, please let me know. Thank you!!

Thanks. Bummer Then I must beg my boss for Pro that one feature
Thanks again

PDF files only show the Acrobat icon

Hi, I'm new and just read all of the PDF discussions about Safari.
I have a similar problem. Each time I open a PDF page all I get
is the Acrobat icon in the middle of the screen. When I try to
save as to my desktop, it's always corrupted.
I can't remember ever installing any plug ins or anything. This just
started to happen one day.
I have Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional and Safari 2.0.4.
I've tried to understand everything that's been discussed here but
it's a little over my head and I think that me being on an Apple iMac 5G
may be a little different than a Windows app.
Any suggestions? Anyone?

Hello,
Safari has it's own built-in PDF viewer so doesn't really need Adobe Reader to help it. Try disabling the Adobe Reader plug-in (you do this via the Internet preferences with Adobe Reader, not in Safari) and quitting/restarting Safari once the Reader plug-in has been disabled.
Hope that helps.

Acrobat icon in Windows Explorer is wrong

Hi,
I've got Adobe Acrobat 7 installed, but for some reason the Acrobat icon does not appear in Windows explorer. What appears is the 'unrecognized' program icon. PDF files still open with Acrobat, but I've noticed I cannot use Windows search to search for text strings in the PDF files. I tried reinstalling, installing Acrobat Reader, changing to other program icons and changing back, increasing the icon cache size, but I still have the same problem. I even downloaded and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9, but the problem persists.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You are talking about 2 different things. Sometimes the icons seem to change - apparently a MS OS problem. Anyway, you can fix the icon from Windwos Explere to going to the TOOLS>Folder Options>file types menu and selecting a new ICON for PDF files.
As for the text search, I think you are talking about the limited search that is the default with MS Win XP and later. There is a flag in the registry you can change to fix this so that XP will search ALL files, not just the ones in their favorite list (i.e. - OFFICE files). I ran into this a year ago after looking for a file I new existed but not being able to find it for almost a year (sometimes I am bad about filing some files). I found the flag and within 2 minutes found the file. You may still have some problems with a PDF since it is a binary file and the information should be able to be seen directly by the OS. You will have to do a search for the flag as I do not remember it.

The acrobat icon is not display in my email client after installation, therefore I am unable to open

I installed the newest acrobat reader in my iPad2, but the acrobat icon is not showing on the top row of my email client as adobe described in "getting started". Since iBooks doesn't support PDF how do I resolve this so I can open my docs? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the app?

For some documents, the Mail app will attempt to show a "preview" of the document in the message. Unfortunately, sometimes this preview is just a blank white page so it's "invisible". Can you please try long pressing on the white space at the end of the email and letting up your finger. You may see a "open in" option upon doing this. If this doesn't work, please send a sample of the message to us at [email protected]
Thanks!

Acrobat icon in dock bouncing when pdf file is minimized

Often when I have a pdf open, and minimize it so it goes in the dock, the Acrobat icon will start bouncing up and down for attention. Why does it do this annoying thing?

I have version 8.1.2 and I still get the bouncing dock icon when a pdf is minimized. Even if I haven't minimized it, and it is just not the currently active app, the dock icon still bounces. What's the deal?

The icons for my .ai files have all changed to Acrobat icons*

I have recently upgraded to CS5 and OS Lion. I have noticed that recently all of my .ai files now seem to have an Acrobat icon instaed of an Illustrator icon.
Is this normal?

Not normal but since the format of AI files is now PDF instead of PostScript it can happen. There are some utility apps out there that will "nudge" a file and re-establish the proper file associations. See here http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14014/nudge

Windows 7 Toolbar displays generic icon, not Acrobat icon

I hve used Acrobat forever. However, recently, the Windows 7 toolbar has been displaying only a generic icon, not the Acrobat icon, when the program is open. I have not discovered yet how to change the icon in windows 7 (Microsoft always tries to keep such things secret because they are control freaks).

How is the SD card formatted?
Maybe it needs to be in a format that the windows machine will understand, like FAT32.

Acrobat icon only on first IE7 tab

As I open several tabs in an IE7 window, I only see my Acrobat icon on the first tab. None of the secondary tabs have access to the Acrobat application icon or pull-down.
Thanks,

Sorry - I hate when people miss details...
Acrobat 7 Professional and IE7 on various machines running Windows XP, Vista, and 2003 Server.
I have tried re-installing Acrobat after installing IE7 and was wondering if anyone has been able to get the acrobat tray to show up on the toolbar in any tab except the first...?
Thanks,
Shayne

PDF made with distiller vs drag and drop on Acrobat icon.

How is the file handled differently if I us the stand alone distiller verses just dragging and dropping, say an .eps to the Adobe Acrobat Pro program Icon. I have this question because I have found using distiller on occasion will not give me a correct font as apposed to drag and drop on Acrobat Icon which will keep the font correct. I'm using Acrobat Pro on a 2 X 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac and OSX 10.5.8.

This is exactly how I understood this to work as well. …and yet the resulting PDF is not the same in the tests I have done.
But, I have taken the same exact .eps file and draged it into the distiller window and had certin fonts not show correctly in the resulting PDF. When I take this same exace .eps and drag it to the Acrobat icon it creates a PDF file with all fonts showing correctly. I was looking for some insite into why this was the case.

Acrobat icons all generic with no preview?

After reinstalling Acrobat 9 pro on a new machine all adobe pdf icons are the generic Adobe icon with no first page preview on them. Have tried everying from the forum so far but no success.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Checked those options, and the user had already unchecked it in the hopes of resolving the problem...
I misspoke, it's not the menu bar, it's the toolbar. I'll update the post.
I haven't done an update on it, that was going to be my next step. If that doesn't work, I may just completely uninstall and re-install it.
Thanks for the help.

MS Word Acrobat icons gone

After I installed to the latest update to Acrobat Professional 8, the icons from MS Word (Office 2007) disappeared. How do I get them back?

I solved the problem. Go to "Office Options" in Wordit's on the upper leftand click on WORD OPTIONS. Go to ADD-INS and you will see that "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" is under the disabled applicatoins. Go down to MANAGE and select "DISABLE". Then GO, and enable it. Close Word.
Open again to the same place in WORD OPTIONS and you will see that Acrobat has moved up to "Inactive Application Add-ins". Go down to MANAGE again and click GO on "COM Add-ins). Close and open. Voilà.

Cant find acrobat icon on palm e2

I loaded the software for acrobat pdf reader on my pc but nothing shows up on my palm e2. How do i get the software on my palm. I am useing the e2 via bluetooth connection....Do I have to load the software using the usb cable. When I open the pdf program on my pc and try to move a pdf file to the e2 it just says cant transfer the file. Should there be an acrobat reader icon on my e2?

The ancient Adobe software you're trying to install requires you to convert the PDF file first on your PC with the Adobe Mobile software. This changes it to a .pdb file.
It can't read raw pdf files without this conversion. That's why you're getting this error.
I would strongly suggest you change your plans and use the free "PalmPDF" program instead. This will read raw pdf files you place on your SD card.

Thanks! Your suggestion got me to the page I actually needed, which is:
