AcroRd32.exe for Adobe Reader 9.3 hang in processes

I am running Windows 7/Office 2007/Adobe Reader 9.3 and whenever I open an Adobe file and then close it, the AcroRd32.exe still remains running in the processes. Version 9.3, Show Splash Screen is already turned off.

Reader 9.3 is an old, insecure version. Try updating to the latest 9.x version 9.5.5.

Is it normal for Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to hang?

As of a few minutes ago I noticed that within Task Manger it said that my Adobe reader was running. Although none of the windows I had open contained anything running off Adobe. Even when I closed my browser window completely (Firefox 6.0) they still remained. It wasn't until I restarted my computer that they no longer displayed. I did find out what caused Adobe to open in the first place, it was a PDF within the Primavera online highschool course player. However, upon closing the window this time Adobe disapeared as it should. Is it normal for Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to sometimes hang even if all browsing history & other private data is immediatly removed upon closing?

That is normal. It stays active in case you open another PDF. If it didn't, you'd end up waiting for the plug-in to start up for every PDF you open.

Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplayer?

Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplaer to operate properly? This would include updating, linking, and any subset of features.

The Acrobat Family uses TCP HTTP/HTTPS for all traffic. The following processes and ports may be active on a Windows client machine:
AdobeARM.exe - automatic updates - port 443
AcroRd32.exe - brand messages - port 443
AcroRd32.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
Acrobat.exe - brand messages - port 443
Acrobat.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
AdobeCollabSync.exe - Tracker review data - port 443
The same ports are used by the program components on OS X.
There are no inbound listening ports for any elements of the Acrobat Family. Automatic updates are not pushed and there are no server processes within the software.

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,
--Brian Plencner

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

How to install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X

Hi guys, just question that how to silencely install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X?
I know some silence switch as below:
setup.exe /sAll /rs
=> Silencely install all supported languages
setup.exe /sAll /rs /sl "xxxx" (xxxx is LANG ID)
=> Silencely install one specified language only (defined by LANG ID)
Question:
If I would like to silencely install several specified languages, is there any other switch to do that?
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader X MUI version and I tried your way but doesn't work unfortunately.
I attached the setup.ini content below =>
============

RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
Languages=1033;1036
1033=English (United States)
1036=French (France)
[Windows 2000]

ServicePackMajor=4
[MSI Updater]
Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
=============
And I used the switch of "Setup.exe /sAll /rs /ini "setup.ini""
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thank you.

Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer. From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file. (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP. My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above). Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"? They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out. Can anyone help please? What is recommended? Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used. I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe. Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09?

What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09? I saw the 11.0.09 download last Thursday 9/18/14 but no longer seeing it today 9/22/14, just the 11.0.08. Also, after I have downloaded and expanded AdbeRdr11008_en_US.exe, I am getting AcroReader.msi that is posted date on 9/23/2012. I need to customize the MSI file using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI for our corporate environment. Can you direct me on where to download the latest MSI file for Adobe Reader? Thanks.

The latest MSI made available by Adobe is AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi
You can get the 11.0.09 EXE from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.09/en_US/AdbeRdr11009_en_US.exe

Sorry, I misunderstood - yes, this will install the Flash Player plugin for non-IE browsers. But so will install_flash_player.exe from your first post.
According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...
Thanks again Pat, but apologies, as I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...

Multiple language installer for Adobe Reader

I need a compressed multiple language installer for Adobe Reader to install with my software. Is one available?

When we requested a license to distribute the multi-language version of Adobe Reader with our software, we recieved the following link to a download:
"For full installers: "
"To download the English language version of Adobe Reader 9 with Acrobat.com in compressed .exe format, click here."
When you click on the link, you get a single file (AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe). This is an installation for english only. I am looking for a single .exe file for a multi-language installation.
The link you provided above is to a .zip file that must be extracted and then run. This requires additional steps in our installation process. We were hoping you have a single installation file to prevent these additional steps.

Please tell me how to call javascript(.js) in my vb exe for adobe illustrator cs.

Could you please please give some sample codings "how to call javascript in my vb exe for adobe illustrator cs". I called through doscript in my vb program, but some time it throws an error. If i run the script directly in illustrator it does not throws error. So Please advice me how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Prabudass E

I'm not sure if this helps but it's from the CS4 scripting examples:
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
Set fileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Creating a folder browser in VBScript can be a problem (relying on either Windows API calls
' or use of ActiveX controls which may not be present on a given system). Instead, use
' Illustrator's built-in JavaScript to display a file browser. DoJavaScript can return a value,
' in this example it's the platform specific full path to the chosen template file.
doJavaScript = "var templateFile = File.openDialog(""Select CalendarTemplate.ai file:""); if (templateFile) filePath = templateFile.fsName;"
myFilePath = appRef.DoJavaScript(doJavaScript)

Remove an update for Adobe Reader

Hi everyone,
I have searched around and couldn't find an answer regarding this... I would like to remove update 11.0.10 for Adobe Reader. I need to do this in order to test some of our in-house applications.
I would like to remove the update only, not the whole Adobe Reader application since we might have to push a solution to thousands of people.
I tried multiple MSIEXEC.EXE commands to uninstall the patch but always get an error stating that this patch cannot be uninstalled. is it true? Am I forced to uninstall the whole product?
Thanks for your help

I should say so, yes. I don't think Adobe Reader does the necessary thing of keeping copies of all modules at all versions so you can roll back selectively.
You could probably slipstream patches into the original 11.0 installer to make a single install, using normal Windows Installer techniques.

Page is not available for adobe reader deployment

I have an approved software distribution request to access download installation files for Adobe Reader, but the link that was sent to me http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/deployment.html does not work.

I don't know that link (and certainly not the one hiding under your link).
You can download the EXE installers from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If you need the MSI installer, get it from the Adobe FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/ (which for some reason I cannot access right now).

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

I am unable to accept the end user licensing agreement for adobe reader on my mac. How do I fix this. I can not open any files.

I am unable to open any pdf files because I have not accepted the end user licensing agreement for adobe reader. I can not find the accept button. I have a mac.

What is your screen resolution? Can you post a screenshot of what you see: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
