Adobe acrobat 8 install affects all users who are opening PDF files

I am trying to understand how "Installing Adobe Acrobat on Citrix server" can affect users who are opening PDF files? Users who are trying to open PDF files are having problems opening it after I installed Adobe Acrobat 8.
I appreciate your advice.
Citrix Xenapp 4.5
WYSE clients accessing PDF files on our intranet
Installed Adobe Acrobat 8

I have not restarted the Citrix server. I installed it and executed the application and published it.
If restarting resolves it then it is good.
After I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 last night, this morning users who were accessing PDF files from our intranet are not able to access it I am trying to understand what kind of error that they are getting. So, far 2 users have complained that they are not able to open the PDF files.
One user's comment was this
I can't edit an application in Power Site Pro through Mortgagebot. Mortgagebot tech support told me it has to do with Adobe Flash Player.
Appreciate your reply.
thanks

After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync. How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

That makes sense Dennis. I did that but was unable to find Adobe Reader in my Applications folder. Of note though is that after a restart, the problem seems to have gone away. So, disaster averted. Thanks for responding though. It's nice to have help on this stuff.

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

Good morning.
I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
Thanks heaps.

Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Adobe Reader 11.0.10 will intermittently not open PDF files

On some user's computers Adobe Reader 11.0.10 will intermittently not open a PDF file. It will open fine 5 times in a row then maybe the 6th time it won't open. When it opens fine two AcroRd32.exe process start, when it does not open a single AcroRd32.exe process starts and will not go away unless you kill the process. The problem seems to go away if I turn off "Enable Protected Mode at startup" but I do not want to leave this disable.
Thanks!!

I don't have any inside information, but my experience over the last two years or so is that "Protected Mode" causes a plethora of different problems for (some) Windows users. Disabling Protected Mode makes most of these problems disappear.
Occasionally Adobe staff recommends to re-enable Protected Mode, and on a few occasions this actually works.
The most baffling thing is that not all users experience any problems with Protected Mode; I myself have Protected Mode enabled on all Windows computers around me.

How can I prevent Adobe Reader X from being the default to open .pdf files?

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and will soon be getting V 10.
I want Acrobat to open my .pdf files NOT Reader.
Reader was installed because a certain program required it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately for me, it is grayed out. I will need to get my IT admin person to set it for me.

Opening PDF files that are posted on our website

I create a monthly newsletter using inDesign 5.0. Since I switched to inDesign, I've had mixed results from users opening the files. There is nothing that I can pinpoint as the problem. For some users, the file will open right away in the browser in IE. For others (myself included), it will not open in the browser, but will open if I deselect the option to open Adobe files in the browser. It opens in adobe reader. For some people, it will open fine using Firefox or Chrome. For others it doesnt open at all, but generates an error. Yesterday, it did not open for one user who has Reader XI. I downloaded the file and into Adobe X Pro and resaved it and it now works for him, but freezes for others. The most common symptom is that it doesn't completely download.
My users who are opening this file are not sophisticated at all. Many of them have trouble simply operating a computer. If I tell them they need to install another browser or change Adobe reader settings I'm going to have a major outcry.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this random issue and what I can do to resolve it? I patched inDesign yesterday to the most recent version and if I have to go to CC, I will, but I really need the majority of my readers to be able to open this document without a problem.
Once I create the document, I Export to Adobe (print). I'm wondering if it has to do with compatibility, because the default compatibility is set to Adobe 6. But without some consistent test results, I'm hard pressed to figure it out.
The document is at www.squarethru.com and it's the Dec 2013 newsletter (top left nav pane). Any help I can get would be greated appreciately.
Thanks,
Susan

Hello Susan,
You cannot control how a PDF opens from the web. If at all possible, I would recommend using a for web PDF creation. All this does is make the download smaller at a sacrifice of image quality. It should not affect text at all. You can also just play with the downsample values to find a reasonable trade-off between file size and image quality.
But this issue isn't related to ID. It has to do with how individual users have their browsers set up, whether they have updated browser plug-ins, etc.
Because I have my browsers set to open a PDF in a new tab, that's what it does on your newsletter PDF.

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

Message tracking log of internal users who are all sent the mails to external domain

Hi ,
How can i get the message tracking log from internal users to external users?
We need the report of internal users who are all sent the mails to the external domain

Sankar, your outbound send connector has an address space of *. So when you run "Get-SendConnector", you will see something like the following:
Identity                                AddressSpaces
Enabled
Unix System Connection                  {SMTP:*.domfreebusy.contractor.hunti... True
Outgoing SMTP Connector
{SMTP:*;10}                             True
Mailbox Journaling Connector            {SMTP:pdwastap01.huntington.com;1}      True
The middle one with the {SMTP:*;10} in my case (you may have a different number than 10 in yours) is my outbound connector. So yours will show an address space of {SMTP:*;<some number, 10 is the default>}. HTH ...

How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

Hi All,
I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out
