Adobe acrobat help viewer

How does one configure an Adobe Acrobat executable other than the one included with the Test Stand CD to read the help files. I want to use Acrobat 4.0, not Acroread 4.05. Once installed, Test Stand tries to launch Notepad to view the help files.
Thanks,
Roy

Did you install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 before or after installing TestStand?
If you already have an acroread installed before installing TestStand, it should not prompt you to install the 4.05 version. This is due to the fact that you cannot install one version of acroread over another, they need to be properly uninstalled and then the desired version installed afterward (this is an adobe acrobat reader installer limitation). Thus, if you have a version of acroread installed already, and you want to use the TestStand installer version of acroread, you should uninstall your current version of acroread, reboot the pc, then begin the TestStand installation (in which it should now prompt you to do an install or acroread, since you have none).
If you do not have ac
roread installed prior to TestStand, you will get a prompt to install 4.05 just as I indicated above. You can either install this or not, but you will have to install your own version later in order to view the files, properly uninstalling 4.05 if you do decide to install another version afterward.
The main problems I would look for is having two installations at a time on the machine. If this has happened try uninstalling all versions of Acrobat/reader, and reinstall the version you want as the only version. TestStand performs a simple system execute on the help .pdf file when selected from the menu, it is the file associations setup in Windows for Adobe Acrobat that cause the program to be loaded when ever an open command is done on files with the .pdf extension. If anything you might go into the Windows file extensions settings on your machine and make sure that they point at the proper executable.

  • Adobe Acrobat Help

    The Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 Help menu item does nothing. What and where are the help files supposed to be located? The help resources seem to be present for InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc., but not for Acrobat or Flash.

    It works for me. It launches Adobe Help Viewer 1.0, and displays the help files. You didn't try to delete Adobe Help View 1.0, did you? The rest of the Creative Suite (released several months later) use Adobe Help Viewer 1.1.
    You might trying Help > Repair Acrobat Installation. Otherwise, you might want to uninstall, then reinstall the application.

  • Can't access Adobe Acrobat Help

    In Acrobat 8 Professional, I want info on changing text color in a line of text. I go to the Help menu and when I click the cursor changes to a clock icon for about 1 second, then the drop down appears. I go to Complete Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Help...  and nothing appears. I trashed the preferences plist but no change.

    Try the following click on the Touch up text tool then highlight items you want to change.
    Next control click or right click on the highlighted items to bring up context menu . Choose properties.
    No choose fonts and there should be an area to change color.

  • Trouble using Adobe Acrobat to view email sends.

    I had Adobe Acrobat and up to  today had no trouble opening images sent by my publisher.  Today it said 'expired' , and that I must buy Adobe XI.! The price is way to high for this teacher - 29.00 U.S. per month!      All I want to do is see images people send me.  I downloaded Adobe Reader  'successfully' but still can not open images sent by publisher.  How can I view the items in my emails in Adobe?Please advise, Sandy.

    Once you have downloaded Acrobat, you have to install it and part of the process should be to accept the license. You should end up with an icon for Acrobat on your desktop or in the programs list. If this was a trial, you should be able to use it for 90 days and no longer. To continue the use you will have to complete the purchase and then provide the software key to Acrobat when you open it.

  • I have a PDF file (employee application) that I need to print.....in Yahoo mail.  The document displays fully on the screen but when I print it, it only prints the left half of the document.  Can Adobe Acrobat help get this printed?

    Any suggestions on how to print this document?

    If you are printing to physical printer from Safari : Use Reader print button from Reader toolbar
    If you want to save a PDF from Safari to your local : Use Reader Save button from the Reader toolbar.
    PS: if you have PDF in read mode the  hover the mouse at the bottom of the page and the floating Reader toolbar will appear.
    Please let me know if this solves your issue.

    Bill@VT has the correct troubleshooting procedure though.  Download the update and try updating locally rather than through the ARM updater.

  • PDF Comparing in Adobe Acrobat

    Does Adobe Acrobat helps in comparing pdf files with image and text at same time. Not like other tools like Araxis Merge which have Text view and Image view and are not able to compare the file in one view.
    Also, can it do a three way comparing and if possible merge.
    and whether it can run from command line?
    If any one can provide the answer. It's real urgent.
    As far as I know it is able to compare pdfs, but I do not know the details.

    Thanx Dave,
    If you can give some idea as of any feature in any adobe tool which can do the three way comparison and run from command line.
    Also Dave, if you can suggest for any other tool in the market other than adobe which can do this all things as I mentioned above.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Vers.8.1.3

    Hello,
    I'm working with Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.1.3 german.
    When using "F1" or "Help -> complete help Acrobat 8 Professional" to get the Acrobat Help Viewer it only opens a window with "html-format".
    How can I change ths without a complte new installation?
    Greetings
    Friedhelm

    I don't recall if I ever ran version 8 in Snow Leopard. I know I have version 9 installed and it has been superceded by version X. So your problem could be that you have an incompatible version. Try posting at Adobe's support forum.

  • Adobe acrobat-create pdf addon not compatible for firefox 37.2

    after I installed firefox 37.2, the previous adobe acrobat reader, viewer and pdf creator are suddenly unable to use. the error message is "incompatible with firefox 37.2. If so, please ask adobe whether they are able to tell me where to install the compatible addon.
    I would like to know how to update such addons. Or, maybe I should downgrade my firefox version to older ones just so I can use the addon. If so, please advise how to downgrade the firefox version.
    thank you.

    I can't tell what version of CreatePDF you have, but version 2.0 should still be working. I think version 1.2 stopped working a while ago.
    Your Adobe Acrobat plugin has a peculiar version number, according to your More System Details, of 15.7.20033. The expected value is 11.0.10.32.
    Could you investigate that further by typing or pasting '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. This should load a long page listing details about your plugins. If you use the Find feature (Ctrl+f) to look for '''nppdf''' can you find an entry with that version number? Is it in an odd location? The normal location for Adobe Reader would be similar to:
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\Air\nppdf32.dll
    What do you find?

  • I have Adobe Acrobat XI (ver 11.0.07).  Adobe Help instructs me to find the document comparison command at "View Compare Documents," however, this command does exist on my screen. My View drop-down list does not include a command for Compare Documents.

    I have Adobe Acrobat XI (ver 11.0.07).  Adobe Help instructs me to find the document comparison command at "View > Compare Documents," however, this command does exist on my screen. My View drop-down list does not include a command for Compare Documents.  Where else can I find this command?

    What version of Acrobat do you have? This feature is only available in the Pro version, not in the Standard version.

  • The "File Edit View Window Help" menu disappears after opening Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    After installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard, when I run the program the "File Edit View Window Help" menu is visible for only a brief second then disappears.  I tried to press F11 or other functions keys to bring it back.  I also installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro which I also have a license for and it would do the exact same thing. Reinstalling the programs did not seem to resolve the problem.  Is there an issue inside the registry?

    Thank you for your comment.  However, F9 does not seem to work.
    When I press F9, the menu bar appears but the words "File Edit View Window Help" are still missing.  
    When I press F9 again the menu bar will close.
    This is a screen capture before the words "File Edit View Window Help" disappear.  After only about a second they are gone.

    Hi adityabhargava01-
    My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
    [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    I hope that helps!

  • 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.
