Adobe 9.2 and Vista

Hi, I have just installed Vista Service Pack 2 and discovered I could not open pdf files.  A brief error "An Internal Error Has Occurrred" appeared every time I tried to open a pdf or launch Adobe Reader 9.  I have managed to overcome this by completely switching off UAC on my pc.  However, I would prefer to be able to run UAC and wonder if there is a fix or patch, or settings I can modify, to enable me to use Adobe Reader and UAC at the same time.  Neither do I wish to  downgrade Vista by uninstallaing Service Pack 2.

Try reinstalling Adobe Reader, that may fix your prob

  • Adobe Reader 8 and Vista

    Can someone help me figure this out?
    I am using Reader 8.1 on a vista pc, and my downloads of music are showing as a pdf through my file sharing program. Therefore I cannot play or burn them, as they dl as a read only file. I cannot uninstall reader because of the security. I cannot change the settings in reader because of security and it says setup file not found, a bunch of numbers and letters, and data 1.cab not found.
    Please help!!!

    I don't have Vista, but in XP I have found deleting the printer driver
    and re-installing sometimes works.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP and Vista, IE7, IE8, Firefox, ect.(New Fast Fix)

    (This is a possible solution for most users) I have found that inside the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (WinXP Home/Pro) (Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash for Vista) there should be a file named FlashUtil10b.exe (IF NOT YOU SHOULD UPDATE AS SPECIFIED!) (or FlashUtil10a.exe or for older versions something similar depending on your version), which is the update utility for flash player. Click on this and if it updates, you will have to restart your computer. This should fix any missing files, and update you to the latest version.
    On a side note to all those who read this, I downloaded and installed 5 different times, the same version, from different websites, all for the "new" flash version, and they didn't work (this also included trying to update Shockwave player itself). Apparently, going directly to the website and downloading a new version of Adobe Flash Player, and installing, doesn't uninstall the older version, (though it says it does nor does the uninstaller work directly from the website) nor fixes the problem. I assume they are aware of this problem, because they included this bug fix in revision 10b. This fix should work for those of you whom cannot view/see flash images as well. There also appears to be a bug/reference problem with the installation of IE8 giving the error "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA", when trying to play a Shockwave/Flash file, which seems also to affect Firefox and other browsers. It doesn't recognize that the folder or files that it needs in it, exist. I never had his problem before, until IE8 was installed. I checked which version I had in the system32 folder and found this updater built in to Adobe. Version 10a does NOT automatically update, but version 10b includes this fix. I currently had version 10a when I received this error, and began digging for a solution. Doing the update as described above fixed the problem, and updated it to version 10b.
    The new flash version 10b has some new features, such as volume control, auto-updating, and several rendering options for those who may have a faster or slower computer/video card.
    I found this works great for XP users but unsure of the Vista users. The process is the same  for Vista and the update should still work the same, as long as you run it as Administrator, I assume. I have this also posted on wwwdslreports.com at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22115254-IE-IE8-and-Adobe-Flash-Question and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22361930-Adobe-Flash-Player-10-Fix-for-WinXP-IE 8-Firefox-ect. It appears to work for everyone so far. I have not heard of any problems from users with this problem running the RC (Release Canidate) for Windows 7 yet.
    I hope this works to your benefit.
    Please leave a reply to help Adobe and other users know if this fix worked for you or not. If not, please explain what you did, and the effects your seeing, including operating system, site of the flash file trying to view, browser type (ex. IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera, ect.), and I will try to help you as best I can.
    (I would strongly recommend those not using IE8, or Firefox 3.5, get the updated versions)
    If your looking for uninstallers go to this site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    If your looking for a true full install, you can download this developer version for Windows and Mac: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_update2_flash10.zi p (44MB) (If you download this, I would recommend you still follow my instructions for the Flash Utility before restarting your computer.)

    I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.
    I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.
    Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.
    You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.
    I would also recommend you download Shockwave Player 11.
    IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.
    If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.
    Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.
    Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.
    What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.
    Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.
    The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.
    If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.
    One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.
    Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.
    This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.
    You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.
    I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.
    I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.
    If you find this useful, please come back and reply to this forum, and let everyone know so that others will be encouraged to do this.
    Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 PDF's freeze/hang with IE 8 Browser and Vista:  Solution Provided

    I have been using Internet Explorer 8 well for some time but I am now having repeated difficulty with Adobe Reader 9.3 because PDF's continually freeze or hang up while I am in the browser -- forcing me to close the browser completely.
    Incidentally, Resetting IE 8 to its Default settings did not help to prevent the browser from still freezing while trying to read PDF's.
    The only way I solved this problem is to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3 completely, Restart the computer, and then install Adobe Reader 8.2.0 .  Now, I have absolutely no difficulty with PDF's freezing or hanging up.  
    Adobe has simply to debug Reader 9.3 in order to make it more compatible with IE 8 and Vista.....

    What I would try if I were in your situation
    uninstall your current Adobe Reader;
    reboot Windows to make sure that all components are removed;
    download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (save to disk);
    close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer.
    If the problem reoccurs, and if no-one else in this forum has any better advice, then maybe you should try an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit Reader.  (But make sure that you don't install the bundled toolbar!)

  • Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
    But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
    Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

    Windows Vista.
    I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

  • Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

    I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble.  Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system.  I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem.  Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys  E3000 Router.  When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router.  I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but...  When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot.  During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung.  I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system.  This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode.  I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS.  The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go.   I was forced to terminate it from the task manager.  I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
    A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have.  The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows.  I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP.  Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers.  To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system. 
    What I seriously need to know is this:  When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64?  Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them.  I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software.  Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions.   As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
    I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it.  Any recommendations?

    Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7.  But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now.  This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

  • Acrobat 8 Standard and Vista

    Having a couple problems with Acrobat 8 Standard under a clean Vista install:
    1)  Initially, PDFs would not open in Internet Explorer at all.  IE would error and treat it as a bad link, even though it wasn't.  I disabled "Protected Mode" and it fixed this problem, but I am not sure if this was the best workaround?
    2)  Is there some special trick to getting my adobe toolbars to maintain my customized settings every time I open adobe?  I customize my toolbars and even select "lock toolbars" and then every time I open a new document certain tools are gone.  It's like it isn't saving layout or toolbars or anything everytime I close.
    Thanks!

    Open a file in WORD or PPT. Now try the following steps to troubleshoot the process:
    1. Go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer and check print-to-file. Select OK and choose a location and file name you can remember. The extension will be prn by default, even though it is a PS file. If this step completes (it should), start Distiller. Open the file in Distiller and see if a PDF is produced (if not, note the error messages that are listed and bring them back).
    2. If (1) worked, then repeat the process without the print-to-file checked. You should be asked for a location and file name for the PDF file. Does this step work? If not, then check the running tasks (ctrl-alt-del) and be sure that AcroTray is running. If not, go to the Distiller folder and start it, repeating this step.
    3. Once you have gotten (2) to work, then proceed with PDF Maker, the Adobe icon in WORD or PPT. With your version of these products, there should not be a problem with the disabling within the OFFICE products as there is with newer versions of OFFICE.
    Hopefully that gets you where you need to go. Bill

  • Acrobat 7 and Vista

    I have read a number of reports of the problems people were having with acrobat 7 pro and vista so I thought I would report how I got it to work for me. My hardware is a new notebook running Vista Home Premium SP1 with all current updates. After installing off the original disk acrobat 7.0 would not start. I went to adobes site and downloaded the 7.09 update but when I ran it I got the message it could not find a program to update. Then I downloaded update 7.05 and it installed fine and the program worked without a hitch so I made a restore point in Vista. Acrobat started to update itself to version 7.10 and I decided to let it to see what would happen. After the update it opened fine and all the features I normally use work fine. Must say despite all my apprehensions Vista seems to be working fine for me. All my old programs are working including lots of specialty programs( marking, testing, cad) even my 7 year old version of autocad is working fine in wind 2000 compatibility mode. Crossing my fingers and hoping this continues.

    It may seem to work fine, but you will likely have problems along the way. The activation issue may be that you did not deactivate it from the previous systems before you installed VISTA. If that is the case, you may be out of install rights. If you still have the older systems, deactivate Acrobat there.
    As mentioned, you may still not have luck with AA7 on VISTA. Acrobat may open fine, but most likely you will have to use the print to file feature when printing to the Adobe PDF printer (if it even installs - in that case use a PS printer and possibly rename it to Adobe PDF). You would then have to open the file in Distiller to get a PDF. To automate the process a bit in such a case, you can set the printer port to file, rather than PDF Port. If it works without such changes, you are lucky. Even with the changes it may not work correctly. Good luck.

  • Print as Image changes between Adobe Reader ver7 and ver8+

    Hi,
    We have customers that upgraded to Adobe Reader ver8+ and are now experiencing printing issues with our printer driver (operating system is Windows XP/Vista). When they use Adobe Reader ver8 and above to print their PDF files, with "Print as Image" option selected, the print output is smaller. It looks like the latest version of Adobe Reader output the images using a square DPI. Our printer (line matrix) does not handle square DPI (for example: printer resolution are 120x48, 120x72, 120x144, and 180x96).
    Our printer driver just takes the output from the Microsoft print spooler and just encapsulate it with our printer language. We don't do any image manipulation. So, I would like to know was there a change in the way Adobe Reader version 8 and above create the output image? If so, is there a backward compatibility switch our driver can issue during the printing function?
    I tried talking to Adobe Tech support (bronze support), but they only handle end user issues. Is there a tech support option that I can purchase that will allow me to get to the root of this driver compatibility issue? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Adobe doesn't apparently care. I get this problem all the time on our work network. There's a lot of questions in this forum and elsewhere on the internet.
    The best answer I've seen is that there's something wrong with the PDF or you don't have the right font, or you did something wrong, or here try this ridiculously complicated workaround. I wish they would just fix their program!
    Suggestions: go through all the "standard" things like updating printer drivers, printing the document as an image, updating Adobe (yeah, like "it works now" is a new feature in the latest version), etc. It's possible that could fix the problem. Otherwise, wait until Adobe releases a version of Reader that doesn't have this issue.

  • Scanning with Kodak i65 and Vista

    Hi,
    I am having trouble 'Creating a PDF from Scanner' with a Kodak i65 scanner. Everytime I attempt to scan a document with Acrobat 8 and Vista I receive a scanning failed message. The 'Scan Validation Tool' scans documents fine to the .tiff format however when I try to scan documents with Acrobat 8 it doesn't work and I get 'Scanning failed.'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I have the exact same problem. Except I have the Kodak i30 Scanner. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed).
    In the past, I ran the following configurations on an older computer with no problems:
    - Windows XP & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
    - Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
    - Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed)
    However, when I built a new computer, installed Windows Vista Ultimate, installed the Kodak i30 Scanner, I receive a "Scanning failed." error everytime I try to scan directly into Acrobat.
    BTW, I HAVE "tried with latest Scan Validation Tool and firmware update from Kodak site." Updating the SVT and firmware neither helped nor hurt.
    Has anyone had a successful fix to this issue?

  • Adobe AIR installation and testing

    I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
    Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
    I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
    Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Update!!!
    I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
    I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
    This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
    Thanks for this wonderful solution.
