Adobe Acrobat associates but not reader

I have windows Vista.
I also have adobe reader latest version 8.1.2 and adobe acrobat 7.0 professional full program .
I can tell windows to associate either reader or full prg to open pdfs and usually works ok.
I also am creating an information and training cd with autorun pro enterprise software.
If I associate a pdf with acrobat full version it starts acrobat and displays the pdf, but when I associate it with reader it displays a windows error message saying that there is no association with the file type you have selected or words to that affect.
This is annoying as obviously most people will not have the full version only the reader.
Can anyone suggest anything to remedy this please

>This is annoying as obviously most people will not have the full version only the reader.
It should work for them.
It's not recommended to have both applications installed.

Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.
Did you find an answer?

Websites will convert to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 but not Adobe Acrobat XI

Hello,
We have noticed that there are several websites that can be concerted into a PDF using Adoble Acrobat 9, but do not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. An example is the website http://amseventsubc.com/. This site converts with no problems using Adobe Acrobat 9, but will not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. When one tries to convert the website (by going Create > PDF from Web Page > Capture Multiple Levels > Get entire site > Create) it starts to work for about 10 minutes but then stops and crashes the program.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
Is there any reason why a website would work in an older version of Acrobat and not the most recent?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, we are actually not looking to have active links but rather to have the content from each link saved as part of the PDF (We are looking to convert the entire website's content to PDF). On Adobe X you can normally append any link so that its content will be converted and added to your PDF, however, this can't be done with XML links.

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

Form is giving me error in Acrobat 8, but not Reader 8?

Ok, so I created a form in Livecycle Designer, and I made it so that when a certain option is selected from the drop down box, new form fields will automatically pop up. First off, there is one box that takes a few seconds to pop up when the selection is made and disappear when I de-select it. The rest appear and disappear immediately, but that first one takes up to 10 seconds. How can I fix this? Also, my form will allow you to choose an option from the drop down in Adobe Reader 8, but when I try to open it in Acrobat 8 Standard, it won't let me use the drop down box that auto generates the form fields. Why is this and how can I fix it? All it does when I try to make a selection in the drop down is show the hourglass next to the mouse, the scroll bar lengthens then shortens, but it will not select the option. But, like I said, in Reader it works almost perfectly except for the one box that takes a few seconds to appear. Ideas anyone? I desperately need help!! PM me if you want to see an example.

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!
Regards.

Flattening annotations (comments) changes highlight color in Acrobat, but not Reader

I have a pdf document with multiple comments consisting of sentences highlighted with different colors. The colors are the default, bright colors in the default commenting "Highlighter Tool Properties" palette. When I flatten with either Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 or X (Tools - Print Production - Preflight - flatten annotations and form fields) the colors of the highlights change from the normal 'bright' colors to dull 'pantone'-like colors. Interestingly, if I view the flattened file with Reader, the colors are fine (back to the bright colors), but when viewing with Acrobat Pro they are the dull pantone colors. It is as if there is a 'flag' in the file telling Acrobat (but not Reader) to change the displayed highlight colors.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5
Does anyone know how I might change this so that the highlight colors do not change when flattening?
Thanks

Well, I was able to answer my own question. You have to go into "Flattener Preview" and change "Color Space" from the default "none" to something else, in my case, "Device RGB". Also, make sure to set page range.

With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Adobe Acrobat XI will not open

The recent install of Adobe Acrobat XI has not worked to date. I get a fail to open error when launched that says there is a missing .dll!
I will return with the dll but in the meantime I hope someone will help me. I have uninstalled my old Acrobat 7 Pro, Photoshop 7, Flash CS4, and InDesign CS2 so there would be no clutter. Now I have digital signage customers on hold and nobody from Adobe can be reached!

My Win 7 Ultimate OS tries to install it from the shortcut that was entered from the download and automatic install by AAM. Below is what I get.
I believe it was corrupted in the download and further corrupted by the first update that same day.
Thank You David for your help

I purchased an annual subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro but my Mac 10.5.8 doesn't support it. Is there another Adobe product

I purchased an annual subscription to Adobe Acrobat pro but it doesn't operate on my Mac 10.5.8 operating system.
Is there another Adobe product to which I should ask my subscription be switched so I can convert PDFs into
Word and vice versa?

PDF Pack can do that; but you may only be able to use the online service, since Adobe Reader may also not run on your OS (depending on the architecture).

The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Adobe Acrobat" can't be read or written. (Error code - 36)

I recently did a clean install on a 2011 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. Went to install Adobe Acrobat 9 with the DVD media and about 3/4 of the way through the install, the install stopped and the following window appeared: The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Adobe Acrobat" can't be read or written. (Error code - 36). I've tried to install a few times and get the same message. Is Adobe Acrobat 9 incompatible with Mavericks. I've seen some posts on Apple Support Communities indicating that it is indeed compatible, but no explanation why the error pops up.

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg

Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg. It just gives an error message and shuts down every time I to save it as jpeg. Any advice why this conversion will not work? I use a PC and run Windows 7.

The Acrobat 8 product family passed into End of Support years ago.
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with today's OSs.
Be well...
