Acrobat Reader upgrade prevents Windows 7 64-bit Explorer preview

I recently upgraded my Acrobat Reader on 64-bit Windows 7 to Adobe Reader XI. Now my Windows Explorer preview pane no longer shows previews of PDF files. The most relevant hit I found online was
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/file-cant-be-previewed-er ror-in-the-pdf-preview/369f87c0-303b-4d74-975f-76cddab9e5b1,
which points to a registry fix at
http://www.fixya.com/support/t5352123-error_in_pdf_preview_handler_vista.
However, my registry already already contains the corrected value. This same fix is provided at Adobe as recently as 13 June 2013:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1231685
I suspect that the most recent Reader update requires a different preview handler fix.
Thanks if anyone can provide a fix for the current Reader.

It is an empty preview except for the message "This file can't be previewed."
However, I think it is a temporary problem from the update. After logging out of the normal account so that I can check whether the problem exists with the admin account, I logged back into the normal account and found the problem gone. No reboot, just log out and in again. Which is odd when you consider that, prior to see the problem, I was in the admin account for the upgrade, and logged out in order to log in to the normal account (at which time I saw the problem).
Thanks anyway!

Title Format Issues Since Upgrade to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8

Users' old PCs: Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6
Users' new PCs: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8
My users are having a problem with the title layout of their Discoverer Plus reports ever since they had thies PC upgraded from Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6 to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8. One aspect of their titles is that they have an &parameters in the title. The values for this one paramater has dozens and dozens of paramater values. For example: Project # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.......87. That's what they want to appear in their title screen, all those project #s. The core of the problem is this list of values going across their title screen is no longer wrapping to the next line since they moved to XP IE 8. It's forcing this long list of project #s to be all on one line (cutting off the list of projects when it reaches the end of the page).
When my users were on Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6, the project values would wrap to the next line without any problem (creates 4 or 5 lines of project #s). They have been having the title issue since their PCs have been upgraded to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8. When I edit the header from a 2000 IE6 machine (where it works from), the font is Arial. But, if I edit the header on an XP IE8 machine the font says dialog and the wrapping doesn't work. If I try to change the font to Arial, hit ok, nothing changes and it seems to reset back to dialog when I go back in to edit.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks!

Hi
Not all versions of Discoverer are certified for use with IE8. You will find this note on Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html) very useful: 233047.1
In there it states that only Discoverer 11g and Discoverer 10g (patched up to 10.1.2.3) are certified with IE8. Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2 and earlier) is certified for IE6 and IE7 but not IE8 and Oracle has no plans to certify 10.1.2.2 with IE8.
Older releases of Discoverer, prior to 10.1.2, are generally only certified for IE6.
Best wishes

Acrobat Reader X - Red window!

Hello! I've recently installed Acrobat Reader X and noticed that whenever I open the program, an ADOBE READER X red window is displayed on the screen. This window displays "Open a Recent File" and "Acrobat.com Services" but I would rather not have it as I prefer to use the Menu options. Please let me know how I may stop it from popping up, thanks. I would also like to point out that the icon "Save file" does respond to the click of the mousse. In order to save a file I have to go to the File menu and choose the "Save As" option, whereas in previous Acrobat Reader versions I was able to do so! Your guidance would be appreciated. Regards, João Carlos

I have some PCs when opening a PDF in IE, Adobe reader x opens with this red screen, other PCs you do not see reader open? what setting do we have set to not open reader in foreground?

Unable to Print After Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader Upgrades.

. What software version of Abobe Acrobat Reader should be used for an HP PhotoSmart Plus printer? I currently have Adobe version 9.3 installed. I receive pop-up notices to install new Adobe Acrobat Reader software upgrades. I have installed the software upgrades and then my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer was unoperational. I deleted the Adobe software upgrades and my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer began to operate. I contacted HP technical support and was told there is no compatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat Reader and HP All-in-One Products. It might be a problem with the specific Adobe software upgrades. HP requested that I contact Adobe support for problem resolution. Has this problem ever happened to you? Any problem resolutions would be appreciated.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Oldchev
I understand you cannot print, after installing your Officejet 7410 All in One printer.
Please let me know the following, and I'll do my best to help!
What is the Operating System of the computer?
Have you tested hardware functionality (made copies)?
Have you tried printing from different programs?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software?
What Firewalls and Anti-virus software are installed?
Have you tried disabling or uninstalling them?

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

Does Adobe Acrobat / Reader upgrade from v8.x to v9.x affect ABAP ?

Hi ,
There is an ADOBE ACROABAT/ READER upgrade planned from V8.x to V9.x in our organization .
1) Does this affect any of the application/ process where ABAP is involved .. like forms, Fonts printing ?
2) Is there any thing that ABAP team shoud be prepared for ADOBE upgrade ?
Thanks in advance ,
Dharma.

Hi,
If you are only using adobe forms to display data , there is no worry from abap side, but if you have interactive adobe forms deployed then you may have to check the web service configuration and also above version 8.X there is a security warning message which comes on interactive forms.

How to install Acrobat 9 Upgrade to Windows 7?

I have Acrobat 6.0 Standard and the Upgrade version of Acrobat 9.0 Standard, which depended on 6.0 when installing with XP. I now have a new Windows 7 machine. Since there are problems installing 6.0 with Windows 7, how do I install 9.0? I'd rather not have to buy a completely new 9.0.
Thanks. for your help.

I was able to install the upgrade from the DVD onto a Vista PC. It will prompt for the key from the DVD case. Once installed the upgrade will prompt for the key from the your previous version.

Acrobat DC Upgrade Popup Window Seriously Disrupting Workflow - How to Disable?

I am a registered user of Acrobat XI Pro. Pay for the monthly subscription, etc. It has been working fine until recently. Now all of a sudden, every single time I open Acrobat, a popup screen from Adobe shows up, prompting me to license the new DC software. I have two options: 1. "License this software" or 2. "Continue Trial". I wasn't aware that I had agreed to a trial in the first place. Then when I close the popup window it asks me if I am sure. This is extremely disruptive considering how frequently I open and close Acrobat. I don't know how to disable it. I literally am opening and closing Acrobat all day long, probably about 50 times. Can someone please help me disable this "feature"? I find it off-putting to be spammed like this when I have been paying a subscription fee for years.
Thanks for listening and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey michaelh76434314,
This issue may occur when the licensing information for the membership or subscription is no longer available to Acrobat.
Could you please share the screenshot of this dialog box that prompts on your screen asking to continue trial or license the software.
You might need to open Acrobat and choose 'License this Software' option.
Then, enter the Adobe ID associated with your Creative Cloud or Acrobat subscription and click OK.
Let me know how it goes.

Anubha

Acrobat Reader XI addon gets disabled periodically in Internet Explorer within Windows domain

We have a followig problem that happens on new workstations with Windows 7 x64 and Acrobat Reader XI only.
Every few days (cca 3-30) the following key is automatically added to registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
This key has the effect that Acrobat Reader XI gets disabled in Internet Explorer add-ons. So when user opens PDF in IE (or SAP or other Windows software using IE), it is not opened within IE but in a new separate window.
Can you please suggest what can be the reason for this, like group policy etc.?

From here:
http://serverfault.com/a/666205/229754
I quote:
Assuming you have installed
Microsoft Window 7+ / Server 2008 R2+
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11+ (IE)
Adobe PDF Reader 11+ (Reader)
Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection / Microsoft Malware Protection (MalwareProtection)
the following seems to happen here:
MalwareProtection registers a component named Microsoft Antimalware IOfficeAntiVirus implementation (MpOAv) for Extension Validation with IE.
IExtensionValidation interface
For Internet Explorer 11, specifies an interface the anti-malware vendors can implement. Vendors that register support for this interface may be called by IE11 to validate that an ActiveX control is safe to instantiate.
MpOAv registers as a CLSID of {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
You can inspect the detailed properties of MpOAv in the registry. The associated DLL usually resides at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\MpOAv.dll
[HKCR\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
Now everytime IE wants to run an ActiveX control, the registered MpOAv is being called before that and sometimes misbehaves or simply thinks that the Reader ActiveX control is not safe. I have no idea what its behavior really depends on.
This all results in IE (iexplore.exe) writing 2 keys to the registry: The CLSIDs of MpOAv {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE} and Reader {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}]
From this point on IE will not run the Reader ActiveX control until someone manually removes its CLSID from there. This is the observed problem.
Will Adobe offer some solution to this issue???
I confirm the existence of metioned registry keys, looks promising! – Vojtěch Dohnal 11 mins ago
But I fear that removing MpOAv from validation extensions completely will result in less secure browsing for users. – Vojtěch Dohnal just now edit

File preview thumbnails aren't working for Acrobat DC files in Windows Explorer

I just upgraded from Acrobat XI to Acrobat DC on Windows 7, and now any new PDFs I create display with a generic PDF icon rather than a thumbnail preview of the file. Files created in Acrobat XI are displaying correctly (see screenshot). Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a resolution?

This is still not working.
I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro DC, but when I go to the linked download page, select Acrobat XI Pro, and click the button which says "Download Acrobat XI Pro," it begins to download Acrobat Pro DC.
Does a link need to be updated or something...?
Previous versions of Acrobat can be found on Adobe's FTP website. Acrobat XI Pro for Windows is at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.10/ (latest version)
Acrobat Reader XI for Windows is at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/
Choose your language from the appropriate subdirectory.
Other platforms are available higher up in the directory structure.
If running Windows, it helps to reboot your computer after removing Acrobat DC to remove any remaining files.
After reinstalling Adobe XI or Adobe Reader XI, you can restore your PDF thumbnails by going to File->Open and viewing the selected directory contents. Thumbnails will be recreated as you view them in the list. You don't actually have to open any file. To view the thumbnails in Explorer or on the Desktop, you may have to refresh the display (F5 or Ctrl-F5 or right-click, Refresh).

Acrobat reader X with thunderbird under windows 2008 server

Hi,
i use acrobat reader X under windows 2008 R2 . My Mailclient is thunderbird.
I get an error when trying to send an E-Mail. "Acrobat could not get a connection to your e-mail programm".
I defined thunderbrid as the standard mailprogramm under START->CONTROLPANEL->STANDARD-PROGRAMMS
I already tried to google the solution, but the only one i found was for Windows VISTA and Windows 7. There, you have not only to define the STANDARDPROGRAMM, you either need to make a change on "default programms and computerstandards" which is missing in windows 2008 R2
Can anyone please tell me how to use acrobat with thunderbrid in a windows 2008 environment????
Thank you

Hi Michael,
sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll post my question to the Reader board ...
To answer your question. That was my idea too, but it is not possible to copy a whole profile. They are a lot of other problems if you do that. I didn't find the settings only. may it would be enough to copy the settings for the reader.
Best Regards,
Markus

Installation of Acrobat reader in 64 bit OS

Primo PDF is not working post installtion of Acrobat reader ver 9 in 64 bit OS

Reader (It hasn't been called Acrobat since 2005) is a 32 bit app. If Primo PDF is 64 bit (I wouldn't have a clue because I don't use Primo) it probably won't interface with Reader unless it has WOW64 elements built in.
