Acrobat X doesn't release files

Even when I close all open documents from Acrobat X, it doesn't release the files!
Is there a way to make it release the files? I mean, I don't understand why it doesn't by default, but I'm hoping there's a solution?
thx

BUMP
Anyone?
I mean, somehow I'm not surprised an Adobe product doesn't release the files, they have a way of latching on to a computer like it's made for Adobe and not the other way around...

  • Acrobat XI doesn't close

    When I try to email an Acrobat file I am told the file cannot be sent because it is "open". I have closed Acrobat but it is still "running".  If I go to "processes" in Task Manager and end Acrobat the fiel becomes available to email.  How can I get Acrobat to close and release files when I exit?

    Have you tried closing the document before exiting the Acrobat?  To close the document, you need to:
    File >> Close  (or simply use CTRL+W)
    This ensures nothing is open but Acrobat remains in the memory (on some machines; NOT ON MINE - Windows 7 Professional)
    Good luck and let us know if this helped.

  • Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF as a printable file form

    Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF (even if a static/single frame file), as a printable file format! Please fix the issue,
    I am confronted with 'The file cannot be printed. Please try opening the file with the correct application and printing from there' and The issue is encountered while dragging one/many SWF into Acrobat Printer's  printing list.  Its displays that troublesome  error.
    And, please add CRTL+P feature to print an SWF from Flash Player Standalone.

    No, that doesn't work for me.  And things seem to be inconsistent.  Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open.  When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok.  When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet.  Help!

  • I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

    Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

    As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
    Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
    On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
    Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • Acrobat reader doesn't open automatically anymore

    Hello,
    since my last update to READER 8, Acrobat reader doesn't open automatically on clicking on a PDF file anymore. When I download a PDF file for opening it doesn't work either. I need to "open with Acrobat Reader 8" to succeed. I tried to update to Reader 9 and have the same problem. So now I need to first download and Save on my HD the PDF file and then open with Reader 9 to open it.
    Could you please telle me how to come back to the old way to open my files just by clicking on them.
    Thanks

    To solve the pesky file association problem after installing a new Adobe Acrobat Reader software program in Windows XP, try this:
    1. RIGHT-CLICK on the icon of the older problem pdf file that youre trying to open.
    2. A menu window will appear. In this window, click open with.
    3. Another menu window will appear listing most of the programs on your had drive. If you have installed a new Acrobat Reader, it should be there. Click ONLY ONCE (do not double-click) on it to highlight it.
    4. In the same window, near the bottom -- but NOT in the list of programs -- there is box labeled Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. Click on this box.
    5. Click OK.
    This should solve the problem for ALL Adobe Reader pdf files on your hard drive.
    Hope this helps!

  • Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

  • PDF created from Office 2013 with Acrobat X doesn't have correct page size

    We have a process of quickly creating PDFs along with combining several Word files to PDF by utilizing the "right click" on a Word file(s) to save as a PDF within Windows.  Many times, our page size in Word is 5.5 X 8.5 and it does not save actual page size once PDF is created by using the "right click" and defaults to 8 1/2 X 11.  Is there a way to fix this or edit a setting?  It works fine from within Word if you "Save as" or "Export" but we need the right click to save as actual page size.  Please help. It worked fine in all previous versions of Word/Office.  Thanks!

    Hi pwhite2315,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
    Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
    Let me know.

  • Acrobat X doesn't recognize my EPSON V700 scanner (Mac OS X 10.7)

    Due to the restiction that TWAIN drivers usually don't support 64bit I had given up to see my EPSON V700 appearing in any of the CS5 application. With the recent installation of CS6 i was positively surprised that Photoshop recognizes the scanner. However, Acrobat X doesn't and I would appreciate any tips how to proceed.
    My configuration: Intel MacPro (2007) with Mac OS X 10.7 with all latest patches, Adobe CS6

    After reading a few other articles in this forum  about smilar problems I found the answer myself: While Photoshop uses the ICA driver provided by Apple Acrobat doesn't. Acrobat requires the installation of the drivers and software provided by EPSON. This package can be found on the EPSON web site, but only when searching for drivers for Mac OS X.6 that also run on OS X.7.

  • Using Acrobat XI to Convert Word files to PDF fillable forms & use with FormsCentral

    I collect data from several team members across the country with fillable PDF forms that were created from Word through the use of Acrobat XI. Can these files be imported into FormsCentral and distributed to the team members for filling out?

    Yes this should work. If you are having problems with this workflow can you please elaborate so we can assist you further.

  • I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

    I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

    If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

  • The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

    The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
    How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
    Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
    I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

    Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
    Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
    Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
    All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
