Acrobat Reader X freezing in Windows7 64-bit

FYI, this discussion is copied from Acrobat Windows
I am using Acrobat Reader v10.0.1 in Windows7 (64-bit) with 12Gb of RAM and I encounter freezing of the application nearly every time I use it. This 'freezing' is observed as the image on the screen losing large portions of text or buttons with the applications faling to respond to any inputs. It seems to occur more on larger files but it is not limited to this. I also notice that I show multiple instances of the Acrobat.exe in task manager even though I have closed all but one document. In order to get around this problem, I have been killing all acrobat processes in task manager and then re-opening the documents I am reading. I can then work with those documents for awhile (awhile is a variable amount of time). I have uninstalled and re-installed version 10 and all of my video drivers are up to date. This is the only application that appears to freeze on this (new) computer.
ps. I have looked through the forums for a similar problem but none of them (I haven't gone through ALL of them yet) seem to match what I am seeing.

Over there http://forums.adobe.com/thread/850202?tstart=0 I suggested Microsoft's Virtual XP as a possible solution
Have you tried that to see if it works? (the link I provided was an example for one program... the Virtual XP mode is not just for that one program, it is for any 32bit program that does not want to work with Win7)
Also... you may right click the Reader icon and select a compatibility mode to see if that helps

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!

Acrobat Reader X freeze and cannot be terminated

since a few days now, i have 3 users who has issue with Adobe Reader X (10.1.3.23). when they open a PDF, adobe freeze and cannot be terminated via task manager.
here is the error in the event viewer:
Hanging application AcroRd32.exe, version 10.1.3.23, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000
The strange thing is that when i do a right click on the PDF from the task manager and select 'go to process...' it take me to the SCRSS.EXE and not the AcroRd32.exe
To remidy on this issue, a reboot is required since i cannot terminate CSRSS. Adobe seems to work for a while... but so far, it come back the next day.
I also checked if the SCRSS is not a virus and passed the MD5.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall but the issue persist.

Hi,
Can you try and delete all the files and folders present in your Reader installation directory (by default its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0). Now try and repair the installation from within the Control Panel.
For Windows XP: Add/Remove Programs
For Win 7: Programs and Features
Does this solve the issue? If not, could you let me know the following information:
1. Is the process name actually: csrss.exe?
2. The OS you are working on?
3. If you are working on Win 7, then could you please get me the location of the process csrss.exe.
You can do the same by chosing to view the column "Command Line" from Task Manager (View > Select Columns)
Thanks

PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

Hi-
Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

Any chance you are also using Quickbooks? I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between Quickbooks and Acrobat 9. My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit. According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8. So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8. The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully. Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
The problem is not in opening Acrobat. It opens just fine. It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

Acrobat Reader X crashes

Hello,
I have encountered the following problem and would appreciate any help:
We recently deployed about 50 pcs to one of our customers. Acrobat Reader X 10.1.3 was preinstalled on the machines, and worked just fine on all clients but one.
On this Machine, Acrobat Reader X freezes upon closing and upon opening certain pdf files. It can then only be closed by terminating the process.
The problem only exists with this user account, it could not be recreated while using an administrative account.
So far, I uninstalled version 10.1.3, and installed 10.1.4 - the problem persisted.
I then removed Acrobat Reader with the Adobe Cleanup Utility and installed 10.1.4 - the problem persisted.
Windows Event Logs only states the standard hungapp event - is there a logfile specifically for the acrobat reader software somewhere ?
The pc is only a few months old, running windows xp with sp3.
Any help would be appreciated, as I could only install an alternative pdf reader software to help for now and I would like to stick to the company's standard software.
Greetings,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Can you please let me know the following details:
1. Does Adobe Reader crash if you just open the application (without opening any PDF) and just closing the same.
2. How exactly did you install Adobe Reader 10.1.4? Was it using the installer directly from the Adobe RDC site?
3. Can you please try and delete the entire folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins and then perform a repair from within the Control Panel. Does this solve things.
Thanks

Wie bekommt Acrobat Reader zugriff auf Netzwerkadresse %APPDATA% ???

Ich wollte Acrobat Reader aktualisieren auf Window 7 /64 Bit Rechner und hatte bei Version 9.4. und 10.1.1 eine Fehlermeldung: Zugriff auf Netzwerkadresse %APPDATA% war nicht möglich.
Wer kann mir hierbei helfen ?
MfG
Dieter dl4ebw

Looks like you are asking about Reader that is the focus of a different forum. There is also a set of international forums for non-English speaking folks, such as the German forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/international_forums/deutsche. Not sure how helpful the international forums are, but might be useful.
"I wanted to upgrade to Acrobat Reader Window 7 / 64 bit machine and was at version 9.4. 10.1.1 and an error message: access to network location% APPDATA% was not possible.
Who can help me here?"
Generally when installing you have to be logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus disabled in case those thoughts help your situation.

Acrobat reader, and indeed all adobe products are freezing and crashing on print hellllp !

Well, I'm flummoxed.
Everything was working fine.. right up till I had to do some driver work to get my scanner to work - now I can't seem to print from any Adobe product.
I click print - the program freezes, stops responding and in the case of Acrobat reader, crashes.. in the case of Indesign CS4 - I have to stop the process in Task manager, in the case of Fireworks CS3 - I think it just crashes. , Printing a pdf hangs and crashes inside of Firefox and IE browsers too.
My printer works.. I can print from MS Word, I can print a photo directly by right clicking on a file and choosing Print. But when I try it in an adobe product. <poof>
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, - my version of Adobe Reader is: 10.1.11, windows is updated, I don't have any unusual extensions.
Any Ideas?? I'd be much obliged if anyone could help
5tratus

Thank's pat.. I did that, but for some reason, in spite of rebooting about 3 times yesterday.. this morning all the adobe products just seem to be working?!
I think I have a poltergeist .
So, hopefully the computer just needed a good night's sleep and it'll stay working.
fingers crossed,

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Acrobat Reader 9.5.1-1, Linux, 32-bit is creating "C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt" files in $HOME

Acrobat Reader 9.5.1-1, Linux, 32-bit is creating a file named: "C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt"
in the users home directory whenever a PDF document is opened from within a browser.
Browser is configured to use Reader plugin "nppdf.so"
Is there anyway to turn this off?
We are using:
SLES11 (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server v11.1); 32bit version.
Firefox v10.0.0.4esr
Adobe Reader v 9.5.1-1

Here are few solutions:
1. You can configure firefox to open pdf in external application like acroread. This way plugin problem is bypassed. - I use it this way. It looks to be faster this way.
2. "C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt" is created every time in directory from where you executed firefox/opera/other browser and opened any pdf file in browser. So this is not only home directory. You can fix this problem by yourself by hex editing nppdf.so file and replacing C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt path in this file with /dev/null path. See my post here for detailed instructions: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1253800

Acrobat Reader 9.1.x freezes after startup

Hello,
Our Acrobat Reader is having problems on some machines during startup that it completly freezes after startup.
I've traced this with procmon and have seens that a certain file "sharedEvents" is trying to to somthing buth it is hanging on
lock - unlock. Killing All process of Acrobat Reader and deleting this file and then re-starting the program isn't helping because it keeps 0 kb and the mentioned behaviour is trying to do something with this file.
the file can be found in %appdata%\adobe\acrobat\9.0
Our profile's is redirected , it is working for most of the users but some users are having this problem.
Can anybody tell me what Acrobat Reader is doing with this file and is there a work around to initialize everything back again so the
user can startup the program normally so it is not freezing after startup without having to remove and install it back again ?
Best regards,
Bert

Hi,
The problem I'm having is a problem on the journal file. After some more investigating it look that the problem can be related to oplocks since we have enbaled oplocks on our server (were the file is placed trough folder redirection). We will check this ...
I've already disabled oplocks on client side and then everything is working however we are using Vista in combination with offline files and if you disbale oplocks then offline files will not work so we are looking a bith further to see what we can do on server side ... to be continued ...
Best regards,
Bert

Adobe Acrobat Reader 64 bit in Archlinux

Hey everyone
is there anyway we can install the 64 bit version of Adobe Acrobat reader and get it to work with firefox and all of the right plugins, in archlinux? I tried the instructions on the wiki and it did not seem to work.
any suggestions?

What wiki? What 64-bit version of Adobe reader (there isn't one AFAIK)?
Please be more informative in your questions. Better yet, search before asking, which should lead you to the well-known conclusion that Adobe does not have a 64-bit reader for linux (yet).

Acrobat Reader 7, 8 & 9 + Outlook 2003 = Freezing

Hi guys,
Here's my issue:
A few of our users here use the "Attach to email..." option within Acrobat Reader after opening a PDF from an email within Outlook 2003 (why they refuse to just forward the damn e-mail, I do not know). Anyways, after typing into the e-mail, they hit "Send" and then both Outlook and Acrobat Reader freeze up. Now just to add to the fun, this happens intermittently. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes twenty.
Things I've tried:
- Reinstalling Acrobat Reader.
- Installing versions 7, 8 and 9 (uninstalling the previous one first of course)
- Reinstalling Outlook 2003.
- Reinstalling the entire Office 2003 package.
- Reconfiguring his Exchange settings (cached mode, etc)
Does anyone have any ideas? I see a number of people with this problem, but no real fix apart from the whole "Don't use Acrobat Reader, hurr" response. We do not have this luxury.
If an Adobe Rep sees this and can even give me an answer of "This is a current issue and it's being looked into.", that would be fine. I need to give these users something to get them off my back.
Cheers.

You do not need Reader and Acrobat on the same system. Acrobat will do all that reader does.
If you have both installed on the same system, you should remove Reader using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and repair Acrobat. If repairing Acrobat does not solve the problem, you remove Acrobat using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and reinstall Acrobat.
Good luck.

Not printing acrobat files from Reader 9.4/Win 7 64 bit

I have just had to get replacement PC with Win7 64 bit and have loaded Acrobat Reader 9.4.(Prior to demise of old PC Win XP SP3 and Reader 9.x) I have an HP Deskjet 960c printer connected through a NAS as a network printer.
I have problems printing acrobat files PDFs (which used to print on old PC) to that configuration. I open document (displays fine), select print, press OK. Goes through spooling doc - 100%.; Then nothing happens - nothing shows on doc list on printer - JUST GETS LOST IN THE ETHER.
Same file prints on printer if direct USB connected.
Word/Excel files print both through NAS as server and on direct usb connect.
Still printes from another XP machine fine.
Tried XP compatibility no change
ONLY does not seem to work on printing PDFs via NAS Print Server.
Help appreciated

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.
