Acrobat Pro X Opens Every Document Directly to Page 2. WTF?????

Hello. I updated to Acrobat Pro X and now when I try to open a PDF file from a link on my website, it automatically opens every document starting on Page 2, instead of Page 1 as I have set in "Properties"
When I open the documents independent of the web browser, they open directly to Page 1, as specified.
What gives?
Anyone else having this problem?
I think I might punch Adobe Acrobat right in its face as my customers are going to open the docs on my site and go "WTF????????!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!" and then poop their pants.
What to do?

I was having a similar problem, but only when viewing PDFs that were set to "fit page", and only when viewing in the browser. "Fit width" PDFs worked fine.
I am running Pro 9 but made the mistake of installing Reader X. (This could explain why PDFs opened locally were fine, but those opened in a browser are not.)
I finally uninstalled Reader X. PDFs now open to page 1 properly. Strangely, I didn't have to reinstall Reader 9... I guess it's now using Pro 9 to view in the browser?
Not sure if this is a bug in Reader/Pro X or just a problem with having different versions of Reader and Pro on the same machine, but I thought I'd at least add a "me too" to the topic.

Can't Open Acrobat Pro XI after scanning documents

I recently installed Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 system. Upon start-up, Acrobat Pro XI opens and closes fine. However, when I use my Fujitsu scanner without having an Acrobat document open, I am no longer able to open Acrobat. The scanner will create the PDF document, but the PDF document will not open up or appear on my screen immediately following the scan. Instead, I get periodic pop-up messages stating "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." I can open PDF documents with Nitro PDF Creater after this occurs, but not with Acrobat Pro XI. The only way that I can correct the problem is to restart my computer. Following the restart, Acrobat Pro XI will open again. However, I must have Acrobat open again before I use my Fujitsu scanner or the problem will reappear. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I have read about the DDE server issue in other posts so you might search for it. I think there may be a knowledgebase article about it.
When this problem occurs, open the tasks list (ctrl-alt-del>tasks) and be sure there is not residual of Acrobat sitting around. That may be what has happened, or maybe some other application is lingering there. Be aware that a few tasks like AcroTray should be running as they enable the PDF creation process.

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages)?

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages) without changing the properties on every single pdf?

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide
setting.

Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
Here is a screen shot of the messages...
I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
Thank you again! Much appreciated!

Using VBA - Check to see if Acrobat Pro is open on users machine

Hello all. I have an Access application that generates a bunch of single page PDF reports in a folder on the users machine, then when it is finished, it combines all of the files into a single pdf file on the users desktop. If the user has left Acrobat Pro open before he starts running the reports, when it begins to try to combine the files, he will get an error message.
I would like to check to see if Adobe Acrobat Pro is open early on in the routine so that the user doesn't have to spend so much time regenerating the reports again. I have not been able to find any VBA code that will do this. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David

Hello Test Screen Name. I do trap for the error and generate a friendly error message to ask the user to close Adobe Acrobat. The problem is, depending on the criteria they select for the report, it could take 5 to 10 minutes before they ever see that error message because of the hundreds of individual pdf reports it has to generate. It is not until my code is ready to combine those pdf files that they see the message. So, it is not really a runtime error so to speak.
But, I found the answer to my question and wanted to share it with everyone. The answers are located here:
API: Find out if an application is currently running
API: Get Class name of a running app
What I did is paste all code from those 2 pages into a new module in Access. Then I made sure that Adobe Acrobat is loaded on my machine. I ran the sub fEnumWindows() and it printed the Class Names of all of my open programs. I got the class name for Adobe Acrobat, which is AcrobatSDIWindow. Then I modified the select case statement in the following function as so, to include the string acrobat and its Class Name:
[code]
Function fIsAppRunning(ByVal strAppName As String, _
        Optional fActivate As Boolean) As Boolean
    Dim lngH As Long, strClassName As String
    Dim lngX As Long, lngTmp As Long
    Const WM_USER = 1024
    On Local Error GoTo fIsAppRunning_Err
    fIsAppRunning = False
    Select Case LCase$(strAppName)
        Case "excel":      strClassName = "XLMain"
        Case "word":        strClassName = "OpusApp"
        Case "access":      strClassName = "OMain"
        Case "powerpoint95": strClassName = "PP7FrameClass"
        Case "powerpoint97": strClassName = "PP97FrameClass"
        Case "notepad":    strClassName = "NOTEPAD"
        Case "acrobat": strClassName = "AcrobatSDIWindow"
        Case "wordpad":    strClassName = "WordPadClass"
        Case Else:          strClassName = vbNullString
    End Select
    If strClassName = "" Then
        lngH = apiFindWindow(vbNullString, strAppName)
    Else
        lngH = apiFindWindow(strClassName, vbNullString)
    End If
    If lngH <> 0 Then
        apiSendMessage lngH, WM_USER + 18, 0, 0
        lngX = apiIsIconic(lngH)
        If lngX <> 0 Then
            lngTmp = apiShowWindow(lngH, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
        End If
        If fActivate Then
            lngTmp = apiSetForegroundWindow(lngH)
        End If
        fIsAppRunning = True
    End If
fIsAppRunning_Exit:
    Exit Function
fIsAppRunning_Err:
    fIsAppRunning = False
    Resume fIsAppRunning_Exit
End Function
[/code]
Now I can just send "acrobat" to this function to see if the app is open.
Sincerely,
David

I cannot get my Acrobat Pro to open. I already uninstalled it and re installed it. But still does not open. The program pops to ask for permission to open the program, but it never actually opens. I trouble shoot it and it says incompatible application.

It sounds like an issue of trying to run XI on VISTA. That combination does not work. Info on both the Acrobat full version (including sub-version) and OS would help. It might also be an issue of running 11.0.0 on a system that needs the updates to work.

Adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP La

adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP Laptop

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened." I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

Acrobat Pro 9 opens multiple files (50) on every start

Start the program or click on a pdf file and - pro 9 opens and loads every ******* pdf file I've had open in the past however long. Seems to be a limit of 50 files - tries to load a few more and then stops. What's changed since I last used it normally yesterday afternoon? Nothing other than rebooting the computer.
Appreciate any help.

This is usually solved by deleting your Acrobat preferences. Since you did not state your OS I cannot give you the path to your preferences but there should be a doc in the knowledge base pointing you in the right direction. Good Luck!

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI crashes every time I try to open it on Mac OSX 10.9.3

I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and installed it on my Mac running OSX 10.9.3
Every time I try to open the application, it tries to open the application and then gives me an error of "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" with a long trail of code.
I do not know what to do to get this application working properly.
PLEASE HELP

Hi Sam,
Doing repair disc permissions, normally should not create problems, reason being this is Apple's own built-in utility.
I am guessing there might have been permission issues already on your computer and repair disk permission tried to resolve that problem. But if the problem is severe these things may happen.
I would suggest you first you may try it again if that didn't resolve you should contact Apple support. They may help to repair the permissions.

Uh-oh, Acrobat Pro 9 opens all recent pdfs automatically!

For some reason Acrobat now wants to open every pdf in my recent history folder when the application opens. Since I work with large print files, this 'feature' locks up my 6GB of RAM quickly enough to bring my computer to its knees in a matter of seconds.
I'm running Windows 7 x64, but I had this happen to me on my Windows XP workstation a few months ago. I ended up reinstalling the program to fix it, but does anybody have an idea of what causes this or if there is a registry edit I can make to delete my pdf history?
Thank you, you smart, sexy people.
Brian

Anton,
I to had this problem just today and could not find any good help on file associations. I am running XP Pro on Windows. I uninstalled CS2 and still had CS3 on the computer. All associations for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop went away. The only information I could find did not work.
This is what I did and it worked. I opened Control Panel, then File Options, and then the tab "File Types". I scrolled to the INDD extension and highlighted it. Then I chose the Advanced Tab, selected "new", typed in "Open" for the action and selected the InDesign.exe file. All Indd files associated with InDesign CS3.
I also repeated the same to get the AI and PSD files to associate.
I hope this is the right way to make the change, no guarantees, but so far it is working. Even CS and CS2 file versions show the CS3 logo and open correctly.
