Acrobat Reader 9.3 and 8.0 and IE 8 and web links

Hi
This is a bit odd but the last few days I have been having problems with Reader 8.0 and IE8 in that if I clicked a web link to a pdf then the new page just hung and gave the error "There is a problem with Adobe Acrtobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." I upgraded to Acrobat 9.3 and have the same problem.
I looked further into the issue and found that this only occurs if the pdf file is opened in a new page. If the link target is not _blank then the file opens fine with no problems.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
Thanks
Nikki

I hear what you are saying and everyone hates IE but we have to design for all browsers.
I guess the best work round is to forget the target as _blank and wait until Microsoft stop that working in IE as well!
Just thought someone else might have found a work round or that Adobe would want to find a fix also otherwise people will stop using Acrobat Reader as well.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • After I updated to Firefox 5.0, I can't view pdf in this browser any more(Windows). I tried to install a new version (10.1) of Acrobat reader but it still doesnot work. When I clicked a link of pdf file, only can I get is a blank screen.

    as title

    A workaround is to open PDFs in the application rather than the plugin. If you open tools -> options then for all the acrobat pdf options select acrobat (default) rather than acrobat (in browser) it will download and open the PDFs.

  • When opening Apple Mail links 2 Firefox Windows Open, The top one is blank and the one behind it contains the web link page???

    Whether with previous version of Firefox, or new one (3.6.4), when I open an Apple Mail link, Firefox opens 2 windows. Top window is blank, window behind it contains web page for mail link that I hit. I can't find anything in preferences of mail or Firefox to resolve this issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have discovered one solutionto my problem, which is not really convenient and is something I don't have to do with Safari 5 -- If I have Firefox open, but not a window open, then when I click on an Apple Mail link, only 1 window opens. But I don't always want to have my browser open, so this is kinda annoying. I'd rather not use Safari -- Firefox is so much better. Please fix this! Thanks.

  • LOADED ACROBAT READER X and my old ACROBAT 7 PROFESSIONAL BECAME DEFAULT+MY PRINTING WITH 7 IS BLURR

    I have downloaded ACROBAT READER X.  I previously had IX which worked well and prior to that ACROBAT 7 PROFESSIONAL which I have kept and upgraded. Prior to downloading READER X READER 9 had been my default reader.
    Upon loading Reader X, 7 PROFESSIONAL became my default reader.  It seemed to work OK but for printing.  Printing with 7  resulted in blurred unreadable words and black patches.  When using READER X for printing printing is fine and clear.
    Any words of encoragement?

    Not counting Reader X, Adobe didn't recommend having Reader and Acrobat on the same system. It would cause problems. Moreover when you uninstalled one, it would break the other. When you installed Reader X, it uninstalled your old version of Reader and broke Acrobat 7. If you want Reader and Acrobat upgrade both to X. If you want to keep your old version of Acrobat, uninstall Reader X and re-install Acrobat 7.

  • How do I get Acrobat Reader to work with Firefox again? I'ver tried everything that I can find in the Help area.

    A while back now I lost use of Acrobat Reader's loading feature while in Firefox. I have tried all of the suggestions that I can find in the Help Menu, on blogs, etcetera, and nothing has worked to re-enable it. The Acrobat Reader seems to work fine from all other browsers, and from the Start Menu. I just can't get it to work with Mozilla.

    I solved this problem by looking at the plug-ins I had in 5.0 and found that I had two versions of Adobe - a V8 and a V10 enabled. I disabled the V8 and it all works fine now.

  • Adobe Clip Notes in Acrobat Reader Not Working

    I am having an issue with acrobat reader not processing the clip notes correctly.  In Acrobat Reader 9.1 the clip notes do not process and save with the time line.  All notes are placed in one box and are not saved intividually with the time line code.  The export option button is there but does not work.  This is happening not only for my customer but for me as well using a computer with only Acrobat Reader installed..  (9.1)
    So there seems to be an issue with Acrobat Reader and clip notes... It works fine on my system with Acrobat Pro installed but from my understaning, it should work with Acrobat Reader as well.. 
    Any help would be appreciated.. I lost my connection to support..  I was on the phone and it went dead and no one has called back yet..
    I am using all CS4 producst (Master Collection)  So this is being exported to .pdf by Premier Pro CS4

    I am having this problem with a slew of users as well.  I have followed all of the steps in Adobe KB article 405461 and while one solution in this resolve the problem (using reader as a helper program instead of opening PDF files directly within the browser) with the error message it caused problems with other web applications that we use.  Has anyone else figured out how to get Adobe reader to work within IE?  I have to think there was something included in the last batch of Windows Updates because it was working fine prior to that.
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat reader hangs opening pdf created with autocad

    Hi all,
    when I try to open a pdf file created with autocad, Acrobat Reader hangs and I can't do anything else then kill the process. Now I use Acrobat Reader 9.5.5. I've insatlled also Acrobat Reader XI, but the problem persists. It seems it is very slow to process the file. If file has few graphics after some minutes I can see it and zoom in, but if file is has a lot of graphics, acrobat hangs. Any suggestions?

    Hi Robert,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will try my best to get this issue resolved.
    I will recommend you to upgrade your Adobe reader to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on your Samsung Note 3 mobile phone and then try to view the pdf files. You can download it for free from the Google app. store or you can refer to this link Acrobat Reader DC Learn & Support.
    Let me know if you still experience the same issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Shared Review End Review, Deadline not working in Acrobat Pro 9 for Acrobat Reader 8 reviewers

    I am testing the features of PDF Shared Reviews on a network server using Acrobat Pro 9 with reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8.1. (All are Windows users.) After initiating the review via the Tracker and having no problem getting the reviewers to comment and publish, I select End Review in the Tracker. Acrobat Pro 9 registers this action and shows that the review has ended in the yellow bar at the top of the PDF and in the Tracker. However, all the reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8 can continue to comment, publish their comments, and the comments continue to show up in the PDF posted in the network folder. That PDF file continues to say, when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 by the initiator, that it is closed for reviewing. The comments published after the review has ended continue to show up. This is true minutes, hours, and days after the review has been ended so is not a synch problem.
    I cannot add comments to this PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 because Acroat Pro registers the end of the review. I can open this file in Acrobat Reader 8 on my computer and continue to add comments. This same problem exists after the deadline set initially has passed. Acrobat Reader 8 users are always able to comment and publish comments when the review should have been ended for them.
    How do I get the reviews to end for Acrobat Reader 8 users?
    Thanks.
    Mary-Nell

    Those users will have to upgrade to Reader 9 to get the deadlines working

  • Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

    Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
    So, two questions for you.
    1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
    Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
    Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
    Any other suggestions?
    2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
    Thank you,
    aliB

    Dear Pat,
    I try to write it again.
    Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
    Kind regards

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 Print Issues - Windows Crash Error (2 Sided)

    Have recently had issueswith our upgrades from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 in regards to the following:
    When printing 2 sided on a Fuji Xerox Firefly C4400 Atheros, application crashes after printing first 4 pages.
    Thus, have tried the patch fix that was recommended on cpsid_92870 however this has not fixed the problem.
    Have also tried the solution with the duplexing but still same issue, Windows crashes.
    Have also tried solution to remove Windows patch KB4332667 and still same issue.
    Screen shots will be provided upon request with the errors.
    Currently running:
    Windows XP SP3
    Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2
    Printer Drivers are the latest and over 500 users on network. 485 are working on 10.1.1 which do not have this issue.
    Is there any solution or 10.1.3 patch release that will address this issue?
    Last Adobe user to work on this was Atul.

    Sonal2890, thanks for your inquiry and I will try to provide as much information as possible.
    1. What happens if inspite of using 'Print on both sides', you check Duplex setting from Properties dialog (As you do previously)?
          The Adobe Reader X Shuts down and is unable to print and displays a message stating it has incurred a problem. Please note, we are running IE7.
    2. What happens if you print with any other application (Word/notepad)
         The documents print fine. IT is only when you print this particular document which is enabled in protected mode and double sided. Have tried the patch and the resolution of unticking the duplex methodology and the issue still persists.
         Crash Logs have already been submitted already. Have added the SEnd Error Report that was provided when the error occurs. The PDF stopped printing after page 6 of a 236 page document and provided the error above.

  • Acrobat/Reader cannot cope with internal Webserver connectivity problems, leading to comments being hidden/deleted. Any thoughts?

    Adobe Acrobat/Reader do not cope with interruptions to access to the internal WebServer hosting the PDF/XML review files.
    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    Connection is lost to the WebServer hosting the PDF review files.
    After connection to the WebServer is regained, access to the PDF review files is blocked by Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
    Sometimes this can be resolved by deleting the entire contents of the folder:
              C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer
    NOTES:
    We have experienced this behaviour especially when connecting to the WebServer via VPN. I reckon the connectivity issues could be initially our problem, that Acrobat/Reader simply do not handle.
    Clearing the contents of the Synchronizer folder does not always work.
    Team members have also seen situations where significant numbers of review comments or status values have been not been displayed, but exist in the XML review files. In some cases comments/status values have been automatically deleted without warning from the Adobe review XML files.
    PDF reviews are sent out via email as links to the PDF review file hosted on an internal WebServer.
    Writers and reviewers in the team either have either:
    Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 with Reader 11.0.08
    Acrobat XI Pro 9.5.5 with Reader 11.0.08
    I have personally experienced the above behaviour with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 and Reader 11.0.08.
    Could this experience be connected the Synchronizer (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html )?
    For example, where a reviewer uses a different version of Acrobat/Reader?
    Could anyone please provide a list of compatible versions of Acrobat/Reader?
    Expected results:
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader should really handle connection issues with a warning and later check for recovered connections.
    However, what appears to be happening is that Acrobat/Reader writes some sort of blocking code to the Synchronizer folder that prevents future checks of the PDF review files on the review WebServer.
    As far as I understand, the connection issues are not caused by Adobe software, however the problems we are experiencing relate to how Adobe Acrobat/Reader handle this loss of connection.
    Plea for Help!
    I have checked and the experience of missing comments and persistent "connectivity issues" seems to be a reported but sadly outstanding issue...
    This has been an ongoing headache for some time, so solutions would be great, but any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...?
         For example, has anyone using SharePoint to host PDF reviews experienced anything similar?
    Many thanks!

    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 with Microsoft SharePoint Repository Trial Update
    We've completed week one of a three week trial (see above) that will go on until Friday 24th October.
    We currently have just four PDF files out for review that make use of the SharePoint repository.
    To-date:
    Each review file has had multiple concurrent reviewers posting comments over several days from both over the office LAN and also via VPN when working remotely.
    Dynamic stamps seem to be working as hoped and are all visible.
    We have not experienced any connection-type issues and the we have not had reason to clear out the Synchronizer folder as described above.
    Counter balance:
    I have experienced the situation with a remote VPN connection, where Adobe Acrobat could not connect to our internal WebServer repository. At the same time, I was able to connect to PDF review files hosted in SharePoint.
    Summary:
    The experience so far does suggest that problems are caused by the an inconsistent connection to the WebServer repository (especially over VPN) combined with Adobe Acrobat/Reader's inability to cope with the resulting situation.
    At the moment I must say that while it is early days, I am hopeful that the combination of SharePoint as the repository and the update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 11.0.09 will continue to prove to be reliable.
    I'll provide an update to this post on Friday 24th October...
    Here's hoping!

  • When downloading pdf files the acrobat reader is not in the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs.

    No matter what I try I can never get the Acrobat Reader to be added to the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs available in that window when downloading a pdf. I always have to browse to the Acrobat reader and select it that way.
    I have enabled Acrobat in the add-ons manager, but that has not solved the problem.
    In the options > applications menu I've selected use Acrobat Reader for pdf files but that doesn't work and furthermore doesn't seem to stick. That is, sometimes when I check that menu later the selection has reverted to "always ask".
    I'm using Firefox 32 on Windows 7. I have used Firefox on XP for years and never had this problem.

    Here are some screen shots to backup my claims.

  • Acrobat Reader 8, problems on case-sensitive HFS+

    Hi,
    I hope this is the right forum. I have formatted my Macbook to use case-sensitive HFS+ volumes, because I regularly use Unix programs (many of which have a built-in assumption that file names are case-sensitive) and now some functions of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 don't work properly (e.g. printing and Updater). Since above formatting is the only change from my older installation, I assume it's because of the different HFS+ format. So I propose you test Adobe Reader on a Mac with case-sensitive volumes sometime.
