Acrobat stops working when multiple PDFs are opened together, is this a bug?

Not sure this is the correct thread but then none of the threads are obviously the correct place for this question. I am running W7 last updated a week ago so it should be running all the correct progs and drivers. Acrobat XI Pro is Version 11.0.10, I have thought about updating to DC but I'm about to transfer the progs to my portable as I travel widely and don't currently see the point.
I have just started to notice that if I drag a single file from file manager to an open Acrobat window it opens without error but when I highlight more than one file and drag them across they open, then while the final file is displaying itself on the screen Acrobat throws a wobbly and stops working. Is this a known bug? Happens every time I open 2 files. Windows has been restarted from scratch and it still happens. Happens whether I highlight the files in file manager then <right click> Open With Adobe Acrobat XI or whether I drag the files across to an open window. Happens whether Acrobat is already open or when it is closed. Happens with more than 2 files as well.
I have noticed that file manager does take a while to display a preview of the file when the preview pane is open and thought that it might be the preview pane that is causing problems. I then closed the preview pane and opened 3 files without a problem, then opened 8 files at the same time and the programme fell apart again. Could be to do with the Microsoft File Manager but I'm interested to know if this is a common problem or not? I did a search on file opening errors in the Acrobat forum without success so am assuming it is unusual.

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

How to open a pdf package in browser when multiple files are bound together.

Safari warning before quitting when multiple tabs are open?

I'm a rather clumsy typist who often uses Apple+Tab to toggle through my open programs. This works great 99% of the time, but that other 1% is rather frustrating considering that the Q key is right next to Tab.
Apple guys, please implement a pop up/drop down warning when attempting to quit Safari when multiple tabs are open (or at least the option to enable or disable it). I use this browser for work and often have many tabs open, so accidentally quitting the browser only impedes on my workday. I know I should be more accurate, but isn't that what part of progress is? The empowerment of laziness? =)
Thanks for your time, and hopefully we see this included in soon-to-come upgrades!
Oh, and if this feature is already available, feel free to show me the way.

jefftovar,
I created and modified the Safari Keyboard Shortcut
Quit (⌘+Q) command to (⌘ControlQ) by using System
Preferences...>Keyboard Shortcuts.
;~)
Great suggestion! But, the default Quit (⌘+Q) command is still in effect. I've looked about in trying to deactivate it, but can't seem to find it. How did you get rid of yours?

LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 stops working when I try to open a file using the project file menu.

I have windows 7 on my system and sometime late last year I starrted getting a Windows dialog telling me that LabWindows/CVI has stopped working when I try to open a file from the project file menu. I also get an error when I run a project debug mode and use a selectFilePopup in the code. The error says, "The program has suspended execution at address 0x75D5025E. No source line information is available." I've tried removing and reinstalling CVI to no avail. Any suggestions?

Constantin,
Thank you for your response. I've attached screnshots showing the version details for kernal32.dll and ntdll.dll. I also looked at the updates to see which might have been installed when the problem started. Unfortunately there are 15-20 updates every month. I didn't take note of when the error started to occur. At first it only affected my ability to open files from within the project (i.e. file->open->Source, etc). Then I went back to modify a project that had a SelectFilePopup and found that that wouldn't work either.

After Installing Bitdefender 2011 Firefox is very slow and worse when multiple tabs are open

Firefox performs very poorly after I installed Bitdefender 2011. There was no such problem with Bitdefender 2009. When multiple tabs are open, switching between them is not possible until tab contents are completed.

As ninjafox says, the problem seems to be the BitDefender Anti-phishing Toolbar. Disabling this through Tools -> Add-ons and restarting Firefox seems to fix the problem for that session. However, the problem then reappears when the computer is restarted, presumably because BitDefender re-enables the toolbar.
Another way of disabling all add-ons when starting Firefox is to hold down Shift while clicking on the icon (Windows only I think - at least doesn't work on Ubuntu for me).

A lot of memory is used when multiple tabs are open

Is there anything that can be done about the insane memory usage in Firefox when multiple tabs are open? I often have 20+ tabs open and the amount of RAM that Firefox uses when I have it open with this many tabs is just ridiculous. As an example of this, I just restarted Firefox after checking the Windows Task Manager. The Task manager said that Firefox was using 1.2 GB of RAM. I did have 32 tabs open, but this seems excessive even for this many tabs. Some of the tabs were image heavy, but none of them had any video in them. I'd think 10 MB per tab of RAM would be plenty to cover these kinds of pages, maybe 20 MB at most. The upper end of that range would be 640 MB of RAM. Instead, it appears to be using an average of 40 MB of RAM per page when this many tabs are open.
Is there anything that can be done to reduce amount of memory being used when multiple tabs are open? It really shouldn't need this much RAM to serve this many pages.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package. Adobe recommends using Adobe Reader or Adobe.

When you use Acrobat to convert emails it makes a special kind of PDF called a PDF package. This cannot be viewed on iOS and never will be able to be. I don't think Adobe really thought it through...

Acrobat 9.5.5 multiple .pdf files open without toolbars displaying

Recently, I noticed that, when I open one .pdf file, all toolbars I have selected as customized are displayed. But, upon opening additional ,pdf files, those files do not display my toolbars at the top - only the file menu shows up. If I try to close the limited toolbar files, I get the error "Adobe Acrobat 9.5 has stopped working," and the programs aborts. I've searched the web to no avail for a solution. My work requires I have multiple Adobe files open, but these additional files have extremely limited functionality without the toolbars.
Event Viewer indicates the following errors:
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
I'm running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, on Intel i7, with 14 GB RAM, 224GB SSD/68 GB free. My system should more than amply support the application.
My thought is a recent Adobe update or Windows update caused this anomaly. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please advise - I'm desperate for a resolution. Thanks.

Update - when you select View -Toolbars on the additional files, all the customized toolbars are check-marked, so they should be displaying. But, they don't.

Bill@VT,
Thank you for your reply. Your recommendation is not the issue for sure. I had tested by opening numerous files on my system, which I know are not secure. The first file opened with all toolbar functionality, and the rest of the files opened in limited view. These are files I've created and opened numerous times in the past with no issues, until recently.
I've since installed Adobe Pro XI Trial, as well as a couple other .pdf maker apps. I had already remove Adobe Pro 9.5.5, so I can't reinstall while I have XI on my system - the installation aborts. My assessment, after spending hours researching it, is that there's a conflict in my OS and 9.5.5. At this point, I have to cut my losses (time & billable hours) and move onto a more stable, dependable application. It's probably not going to be an Adobe product, sad to say. Too many issues, too little accessible and timely support.
I am grateful for your input in my scenario. Have a splendid day/evening!

Reader X, Windows 7 x64, "Adobe Reader Has Stopped Working" when closing pdfs. Fixed by un/reinstall

I have been having this message after closing pdfs. Yeah, I know it's stopped worked I shut it down. Brand new computer, latest adobex downloaded from website. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem. Whatever it was... I saw another post with a similar problem from over a year ago with no responses so this is just for info only.

I am not sure if any of these suggestions help; it cured many similar issues in 11.0.3...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Stops working when I chose to open something in a new window

When I open firefox, it takes about 5 minutes for it to actually open, and then if I go to a website and a new window pops up, or if something auto opens in a new window, or if I choose to open something in a new window, firefox stops responding, so I have to open up the task manager to end it and then restart it again. I've checked my plugins and made sure everything is up to date and have tried reinstalling firefox, and it's still having problems.

Hello David.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

Why do I keep getting the message "Photoshop Elements 13 Editor has stopped working" when I try to open Photoshop?

Every time I try to launch Photoshop it stops working. Adobe customer support was not able to help me resolve the issue. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you

Next time try starting it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift (cmd+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you hopefully see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Flash works, but causes IE8 to hang when multiple tabs are open

I have a problem which is very consistent... If I open IE8 to my home page (non flash), then open another tab (and go no where, just a clean tab) and then try to close IE completely (saying yes to close all tabs prompt). IE hangs for about 30 seconds before shutting down. If I disable the add-on for flash and then repeat the steps, IE closes right away without incident. Any thoughts? Happens every time...
As a side note, this is a XenDesktop Windows 7 image fully patched and running the most current version of the Flash plug-in.
Thanks in advance!
Eric

Text editing box becomes inactive when multiple documents are open?

I have a user that recently has a problem when editing documents. If he has more than one document open the text editor becomes inactive (greyed out). It works fine with just one document open still. Is this 'working as intended' or a glitch in the software. User is running Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. We've tried running a repair on the install but that didn't work. I haven't yet tried uninstall/reinstall - I'd prefer to get more information on this before we try that.

The user isn't editing large portions of documents though.
More info from the horse's mouth -
I have used the touchup tool and that is NOT what I want to open up. I am working with detail Maps. The touchup tool will open up and attempt to “touchup” the detail of the maps and that is Not what I am doing. I am using the “polygon” tool and “text box” tool to circle areas on the map and place labels on these areas for our clients. A simple task of adding lines and text. These are basic mark up tools Adobe offers. These mark up tools are what I am having problems with. I do not intend on converting the maps that are already “scaled” and possibly lose that detail. I explained this to Aaron Rasor as well and he has seen the simple issue. The Basic Mark up tools ghost out and become unavailable when I have more than 1 document opened at once.
