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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

    Hello,
    When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers.  I am therefore unable to print anything.  This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine.  The printer is connected via wifi.
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader.  I have restarted my computer.  The issue still persists.
    My system information is as follows:
    Windows 8 64 bit pc
    Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
    Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
    Any solutions are much appreciated
    Regards

    I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
    I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
    My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
    Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

  • Acrobat Reader X Problem

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader 9 to Acrobat Reader X on Windows Vista. Ever since I have not been able to open any PDF documents that are sent to me via e-mail with Adobe Reader X although I can open up pdf files that are on my computer. When I try to open a e-mailed pdf  document with Acrobat Reader X opened on my desktop it gets opened by Acrobat Professional Version 8 which was preinstalled on my computer and cannot be deleted. This does not stay open because I did not subscribe to the software. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Rearder X as well as using the "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" feature in Adobe Reader "Help" and also via the Control Panel "Set Associations" feature. This has never happend previously with any other Adobe Reader upgrades. I am not certain what else can be attempted or how to resolve the problem?

    Hello Michael,
    I think Galena01 was actually asking about Reader X and not Acrobat.  She was just trying to give additional information.
    I have the same issue in that after installing Reader X, it is no longer possible to open pdf files attached to emails or from websites.  A Reader screen does appear but it remains blank even after several minutes and IE is often locked and a logoff / logon in Windows is required as Task Manager will not shut down IE in this situation.  The only workaround appears to be to open Reader X first, then open the online pdf file.
    I believe Adobe have released faulty code.
    Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate SP2
    All current MS updates
    Reader X v10.0.1

  • Problem in openig some PDF file names in Acrobat Reader

    I didn't test in other versions of the OS or with other versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, but in Windows 7 Enterprise (with SP1) 64 bit, vith virtual apllications service installed, when a PDF file has in the name the letters CR (caps), tries to open Adobe Acrobat Reader with the VAppLaucher and says
    "Before proceeding you must first lauch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User Licence Agreement",
    even with the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader already configured in the local machine.
    As soon as I change the name of the PDF file, it works without any problem.

    Hi,
    This bug was fixed with the latest release of Adobe reader i.e. Version 10.1.1 (Please refer to the Bug Fixes section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.1.pdf).
    Please update to the latest version, by clicking on Help > Check For Updates or try downloading the patch from: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1011.msp

  • Acrobat Reader, WTF?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!

    Why doesn't Acrobat Reader work with windows 7? I have been fighting this issue for over a year now and for awhile I just gave up and had to use friend's computers to read files I needed. NOW ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I want this problem fixed!
    The installation starts and gets to 76%, stalls and then I get the error message !There was and error installing Adobe Reader/ Fatal error during installation.
    Stats of my system:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    16gb of ram
    120gb ssd (for os and other minor programs) and a 1tb hdd
    2x gtx560ti's in sli
    I use Internet Explorer 11.0.15 as my main connection to the internet
    and I use Google Chrome because some morons think it is better and only use it for their websites or to send content
    And before you say anything, nope I have never had an issue with IE since I had first used it in the late 80's early 90's. I will not use Mozilla (it blocks half the websites on the internet including state sites, job search sites and various other "safe" sites, so you can keep your Mozilla)
    YES I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THE HELP AND SUPPORT SECTIONS ON THE ADOBE SITE INCLUDING THESE FORUMS. Not only have I tried them all I have tried them all several times each. So now lets see if someone can help me with my issue and why I am having these issues. AND NO I WILL NOT TRY THE STEPS I HAVE TRIED ALREADY. IF THE DIDN'T WORK THE FIRST 3 TIME I TRIED THEM THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WORK NOW. So we are going to need a real solution.

    This is a User2User forum not Adobe Support. Since this is your first post about this is long running issue, please try to patient.
    What version or Adobe Reader?
    Do you have any other Adobe products installed?
    Make sure you uninstall all old versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

  • Acrobat Reader XI crashes in 2nd account (eula)

    I installed Acrobat Reader XI on windows 7 on a machine with 2 accounts. It worked as expected in the 1st account, but the 2nd account could not start it. The accept license window did not appear. The event list of Win7 showed, Eula.exe of AcrobatReader crashed.
    Both accounts are administrator accounts. I tried to remove the software and install it in the 2nd account first, the same result with the 1st account. I added a 3rd account, the same.
    Is it prohibited by the eula to use Acrobat Reader XI on one machine in 2 accounts (be aware: login account 1, it works, shutdown, power on, login account 2, it does not work, shutdown, power on, login account 1, it works) ? Is there a way around or did I miss something ? The problem arised after updating from Acrobat Reader X to XI.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Sigh, first an unprecise product name and now the wrong forum, I don't know, how to apologize.
    In regard of my problem: I've yet uninstalled, used acrobat cleaner, used both options (clean reader and clean acrobat), all had the same described effect.
    The differences to your described procedure are: I logged in using an administror account. The account name was not Administrator, but it was an administrative account. 2nd: I didn't disable the antivir software. But deinstall and install never ever showed any error messages. I'm sorry, that I can't simply obey your proposals, the machine of a customer of mine has the problem, none of the machine, I have simple access to, has the problem.
    Thanks and regards

  • 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).
