Adobe Acrobat Add-On 11.0.6.70 will not allow me to download a .pdf file. Disabling the Add-On allows me to download the .pdf.

I attempted to download a .pdf file and open it with Adobe Add-On 11.0.6.70 in FF 25.0.1 and got a message that the file was damaged and could not be repaired. I called the site's Tech Support and they requested that I try the download with another (Ugh!) browser and the download worked. I went back and disabled the Adobe Add-On in FF and the download worked in FF also. Not sure who developed the Add-On but whoever did so, left a bug in the process.

HI central_texan,
Please update to the latest version of Firefox by going to the About Firefox in the Firefox menu. If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance. It may also happen when the download becomes corrupt. What I want to know is in the System Requirements what " Firefox Extended Support Release" means.
In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
# Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. You should now find the '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' preference.
#Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
#Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.
Please reply and tell us whether this helped you!

    Currently I have been the recipient of a very bad experience regarding the manner in which Adobe is forcing me to spend more money on products without allowing me to upgrade accordingly --- or in having to speak to a FOREIGNER --- who cannot communicate properly .... please respond as soon as possible ... please.
    My experience in trying to speak to someone with a 'Extremely Thick Accent' was very unpleasant and aggrivating ... and ended up 'going no where.'
    I need to speak/communicate  with someone who can help in using the product that I have paid a lot of money for.

  • Adobe acrobat add ons does not work with latest firefox

    I have been using firefox because of my adobe acrobat add ons.. I alwasy convert pages to adobe pdf using my acrobat. It works with firefox 4.0 but it does not work anymore with latest firefox.
    Can you help me with this?

    Maybe if you read about privacy, policy and sharing of data you'd change your mind. But it was reported that it appeared to work if you used something like the "Add-ons Compatibility Reporter".
    You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro two days ago and cannot receive my serial number; your form will not allow me to select my State for address-I have spent four hours of frustration

    Acrobat X Pro has a flawed serial number application form at the point where it asks for your State, the first time. I will not allow me
    to complete the form and receive my Serial Number.@

    I purchased it from my University bookstore and the attending clerk was no better informed than was I.
    The form is required to be infilled in order to receive the serial number necessary for installation of the software
    After five hours of trying, I was able to overcome the flaw in the form, as it appeared on the Acrobat website, and
    complete the two pull-down menus indicating the State in which I live.
    I called Adobe Customer Care for assistance and had to wait two hours for a return call, and by the time the
    call came though I had found that the website form allowed me to pull-down for the State of location.
    Adobe is an uncaring vendor, once it has your money in hand.

  • I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

    Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

    BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

    I bought Adobe® Acrobat® XI Pro Subscription Edition (one-year) but not able to edit any PDF. Please advise

    I went through the tutorial and the problem is when I click on "Tools" the edit option does not come. Only "Export", "Create" or "Send" pdfs.
    I think must be a technical problem.

    I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version.  For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running.  I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

  • Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.0 will not allow a second signature

    After filling in one digital signature block, the form will not allow a second signature.  I am using the certificate from an ID card and card reader.  I try to use Forms > Edit but it tells me to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit.  Is this really the only way to make a change because I will not be able to install that software on work computers.

    That's what I meant.  Dang it again.  I'm in a very restricted computer environment, so I'm looking for a way to make this work using just Acro Pro 11.  It looks like it won't happen.  I was wondering if there was a way to convert the document to some other format and then back to .pdf using Acro Pro so that it could edit the form.  I'm guessing this isn't going to work either.
