Acrobat Reader patch corrupted Sharepoint Services

Since upgrading over 4000 laptops with Adobe Acrobat Reader to version 11.0.10 last week, we have had a number of users where they are unable to edit and save changes to Excel spread sheets on Sharepoint 2007.
They get a message that SharePoint services is not running and the only solution is to re-install MSOffice. This affected users with MS Office 2003 and 2010.
We had deployed Adobe Acrobat Reader, Flash Player and Shockwave updates to laptops on the Wednesday night and users started experiencing the issues on the Thursday morning.
Desktops received Flash Player and Shockwave and they have not experienced any issues so it looks to be caused by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
The process for installation was to create an administrative install with configuration created using the Customisation Wizard.
Any suggestions why Adobe Acrobat Reader would cause this.
Thanks
Hazel

I have downloaded and installed this utility.  It doesn't appear on the Start/Programs list although it is on the Add/Remove programs list and appears to uninstall normally.
I couldn't get it to work.  This download is from a non-Microsofy source, Seagull Scientific Inc who appear to be repuytable, but I would advise caution.
Edit:
Ok, now I got it fixed.  I have dual screen setup and had the second screen switched off - the Start/Programs menu was overflowing to the second screen and the program was listed at the end.
I ran it and it solved my problem.  Thanks!

  • Error using Acrobat Reader in W2K Terminsl Services

    We are trying to install Reader 9.0 on a Windows 2003 SP2 64BIT Terminal Services server and have used several methods, but if anyone other thatn an administrator tries to open a PDF or start the program it receives a VB Runtime error and closes after acknowledging the error. The Application log shows: Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.3053, fault address 0x000046b4.
    I have installed it using the Add Remove Programs (which is suppose to put it in Install mode) and running it the first time as an admin while still in install mode. I also tried manually placing the server in install mode (change user /install) then running the app before putting it in execute mode, same result.
    Any information on getting this to work would be appriaciated.
    Thanks,

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf

  • Acrobat Reader integration with SharePoint 2007

    Hi,
    We have been having some major issues with people opening PDF files from document libraries in MOSS 2007.
    Firstly in v9.x we find that only one user can access a PDF file at a time because it automatically opens the file as editable. This isn't a problem, however when another user tries to open it instead of being asked to open a read only\local copy, they just get an access violation error. We have found that sometimes even though a user has closed the file, the access violation errors continue and the only way round it is to copy the file locally, delete the original and then copy it back up to the document library.
    I see that version X has been written to include much better integration with SharePoint. However our company policy is that we do not use check in\check out, so i'd like to disable this prompt. I've found this article which seems to have instructions on how to do it, however the registry change does not seem to have made any difference. I notice that on that article is says "DO NOT PUBLISH THE DOCUMENT EXTERNALLY UNTIL 10.1 SHIP". I'm unsure whether this is a typo and it's meant to be 10.01 which has recently been released or whether this article should not yet be available.
    Has anyone managed to get the registry change working?
    Cheers
    James

    Hi,
    I was going to move this to a more appropriate forum but I'm not clear on where to try. Can you repost this under the Reader forum as well as on http://answers.acrobatusers.com/?

  • Open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X on Document library file click

    Hi,
    Can you anyone tell me?
    How to open PDF file in reader from document library on pdf file click?
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X in SharePoint Document Library.
    We need to provide the OpenControl key in the DocIcon.xml and clients should use Acrobat X or Reader X to leverage.
    Here is a blog for your reference:

  • Sharepoint services 3.0 and pdf editing

    Hi!
    I have the next configuration:
         -Client: Windows XP, Adobe reader XI
         -Server: Sharepoint services 3.0
    I cant add a comment to PDF file directly in Sharepoint. I haven't check in/out option, is like the file only read.
    Can you help me, please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    Taking Sharepoint out of the equation for now – was the PDF created with Commenting enabled? Can anybody else comment on the PDF? Does it work if you do check it out of Sharepoint?

  • Disable online services/features in Acrobat Reader DC?

    With the new update being released from Reader to Acrobat Reader DC, I have concerns with the use of cloud storage and storing sensitive data.
    I have looked around and the only information I have found for disabling these new features are in reference to groups who use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, which means they would be running an Enterprise version.
    I have installed and tested the new Acrobat Reader DC on both Windows and OS X, there are no obvious options for disabling the services that I am referring to.
    Services I am referencing:
    Adobe cloud storage service
    Sending and tracking documents
    Syncing across multiple devices (by use of cloud storage)
    Is there a way to disable the use of these services on an individual (non Enterprise) install of Acrobat Reader DC?
    Thanks in advanced!

    You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC on both Reader DC (Classic or Perpetual) versions.

    You can also use the Windows Registry to turn these services OFF.

  • Acrobat Reader X integration with SharePoint 2010

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9.x to Acrobat Reader X (10.1.2) to test out the new SharePoint integration features. Per the Enterprise Admin Guide, I added the line to my DocIcon.xml file to handle the ".pdf" extension, added the PDF icon to my server, verified that the WebDAV module wasn't present in IIS, and then restarted my SharePoint server.
    When I click on a PDF document from a SharePoint document library, however, I receive an error message that reads, "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
    Some things I have already tried to remedy the problem:
    I have full rights to the SharePoint Server and the document library in question.
    I verified that the WebClient Windows service is running locally on my machine.
    Clicking on "Edit Document" from the document library's item context menu produces the same error message.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Is it possible to call a web service within acrobat reader.

    Hi,
    I designed a form template which makes a web service call.
    Then tested the form using acrobat professional 8.0.
    Everything was fine.
    But, when I open the same form with acrobat reader, the web service call didn't work.
    I want to know is this a known issue that It is not allowed to call a web service in acrobat reader?

    Hi
    Reader does not have the capability to call Web Services.
    You have two options:
    1. Get your clients to buy a copy of Acrobat.
    2. Purchase a product from Adobe called "Reader Extensions". This allows you to "extend" your form in such a way that it will be able to call web services. (You can also save it locally, and do a bunch of other things that normally you can't do in Reader.) Your clients will then be able to call web services (for this form only) using Reader.
    If you'd like more information on Reader Extensions, email info-at- avoka.com.

  • Acrobat Reader crashes with patch 108652-40

    Hello,
    I just installed Solaris 8 on a sun4u machine. After that I installed the recommended patches cluster. When trying to start Acrobat Reader 4.05 the CDE session crashes. After deinstalling the patch 108652-40 Acrobat Reader is working well again. Any hints where this behaviour comes from or what to do?
    TIA
    Guido

    This has been going on for ages. From my understanding v9.0.0 has an issue running on a domain with redirected folders, in particular the appdata folder. For some reason, if this folder has a UNC path not a drive letter then version 9 (Reader and full version) crash on launch. There have been a number of posts around the web about this since v9 came out. I'm surprised that Adobe havent sorted this out, cant be that hard a fix and I would assume that Adobe corp HQ run a windows domain with folder redirection in place
    We're still running 8.1.3, and waiting patiently for 9.0.1

    Hi Shlomy,
    Please check your IE settings on the machine with issue:
    Click gear icon -> Internet Options -> Security, check if you have added your SharePoint sites to Trusted Sites or Local Intranet.
    If that is the case, please click Custom level and scroll down to User Authentication, uncheck the option "Prompt for user name and password", then check the option "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone".
    In addition, does the issue occur to any Office client application? Please test the issue via Word or Excel.
