Acrobat X Pro 10.1 - Can't copy windows folders - Locked

Having a major issue with Adobe Acrobat and explorer.
If I download a PDF file and try to move it, I get the error:
"Destination Folder Access Denied" you need permission to perform this action. (I am Administrator level).
Especially if I am using the Windows preview panel at all.
If I use "Lockhunter" to see what is locking the file, it tells me "explorer.exe" and I cannot move the file unless I unlock it. If I unlock it and try to move it again, it fails once again, because it has been immediately locked and left locked again! There is a windows "unblock" option (shown after downloading a file from the internet) but unblocking the file makes do difference.
It only appears to do this with PDF files. How do I resolve this issue? Cheers.

Wierd thing is Bill, I just tried something.
If I try to say move a folder with a PDF file in it, from one location to another, I get the "Error, open in another program" error message. Yet I can go into that folder and cut and paste the PDF file somewhere else with no problem. THEN it actually allows me to move the folder (so moving the PDF file somehow "unlocks" the folder).
If I then try to move the folder again (after the folder and the PDF inside it have been moved) the "new" folder is now locked.
For a folder to become locked, it just has to have a PDF inside it. I don't even have to select the PDF, go into the folder with PDF in it, have it open in the preview panel, or even open it in Adobe Acrobat). All I have to do is select a folder with a PDF inside it, for that folder to become immediately locked. It's like something is scanning the contents of the folder (as soon as I select it), figuring out it contains a PDF file and then locking that folder as a process thread of "explorer.exe" and not allowing it to be cut and pasted somewhere else. But yet, still allowing me to cut and paste the PDF inside the folder and then freeing up the folder its moved from and locking the folder it's moved to!!
Infuriating.
I wonder if Adobe's PDF Windows Desktop Search PDF contents extension could be doing this? Still, why is it only doing it to the folder with a PDF in it I select. It has to be some kind of adobe explorer / pdf shell extension. Don't even know where to start trying to figure it out.

Reader is free. If you want multiple licenses for Acrobat, you have to discuss this with Acrobat. The Adobe Store gives pricing for up to 9 licenses. Volume license require talking to Adobe, not other users.

Hi Richard,
If you bought an Upgrade then the installer will prompt to enter the previous qualifying version serial number.
If you don't have a record of that you can contact our Customer service and they will help you rerieve the old serial number if you have registered the software with Adobe
else they will help you unlock the Upgrade serial key upon validation.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
Can anyone recommend a solution?

If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

QT Pro - .mov files - can't copy/paste/export - opens browser

On a couple .mov files, when I open them, my browser opens also. As for the .mov files, I can't copy, paste, export etc.
Can anyone explain this, and is there a way to resolve the browser and other issues?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

thanks Terence,
So I went into Iphoto, selected the Trimmed Movie and selected. PHOTOS, revert to Original.
Now I can COPY and PASTE the MOVIE from Iphoto to a normal Folder.
I then opened the original .mov file in Quicktime and trim the movie. I then go to close and save
"The Operation could not be completed, an unknown error occured"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Printer Drivers does not pass windows logo testing.

Issue:
I'am using the Acrobat Wizard tool to customize Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to run create Adobe installed to run siliently within our network but I recieve the following hardware prompt to complete the install.
During the install of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I recieve a Hardware Installation prompt:
The software you are installing for this hardware:

Continue your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
Is there any way I can download the drivers before I run the installation or is there a patch for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
Thanks

When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

Good Day -
I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful. So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
Thank-you!

First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

Hi,
I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
3. No right click works on track pad?
4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
Regards,
Khagendra Limbu

1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

How can I copy my folders or files in my Ipad?

I'm a biginner. How can I copy on my iPad some windows files or folder?

Start by reading the User's Guide, then maybe you'll have some relevant, intelligent questions about how to use the device.

Acrobat X Pro will does not open using Windows 7

My Acrobat X Pro stopped working today. I'm using the same Windows 7 PC with the same software that I've had for over a year. My version of Acrobat X Pro came with my purchase of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium. Since this problem started earlier today, I've:
1. Conducted a system restore on my PC back to last week when it was working fine and yet it still does not launch
2. I used Window's programs & features "repair" option and that has not helped
3. I started up my PC in safe mode and that did not help. I've rebooted multiple times and that has not helped
One solution I found online says to deactivate another CS6 program like Photoshop but when I open any of those programs, the "Deactivate" option is grayed out as not available. And yet these other Adobe programs launch and work just fine.

Thanks but none of the options in that KB fix the problem.
The "Exit Code" was 3 rather than "0" and so it doesn't look like the patch will install. In terms of the third option, I mentioned in my original message that I cannot "Deactivate" my other CS6 programs because that option is grayed out in those programs. But those programs work just fine (other than Acrobat Pro X) and so I think there may be a bigger problem with all of my Adobe products.
