Adobe Acrobat Reader 64 bit in Archlinux

Hey everyone
is there anyway  we can install the 64 bit version of Adobe Acrobat reader and get it to work with firefox and all of the right plugins, in archlinux? I tried the instructions on the wiki and it did not seem to work.
any suggestions?

What wiki? What 64-bit version of Adobe reader (there isn't one AFAIK)?
Please be more informative in your questions. Better yet, search before asking, which should lead you to the well-known conclusion that Adobe does not have a 64-bit reader for linux (yet).

     Dear Adobe people ...
    This is a user-to-user forum; you do not address Adobe staff here.
    The original post was about an installation on a beta version of Windows 7, which was not supported at the time.
    If you have a problem with a different version of Adobe Reader on a different version of Windows 7, please open a new topic.
    I'd gladly address Adobe staff directly about it if they didn't make it so difficult to do so but there are notices galore on their website restricting the ways of doing so for this particular product. That said, I accept that they may not review these posts and act on bugs found (although why is beyond me, I know if I was a developer of software and I wanted it to be top quality, I'd be looking everywhere I can for sources of bugs having been found and I certainly wouldn't make it any more difficult than an ordinary bug submission on any other software to report it).
    It's clear to me that the problem originally posted about that shows up in Win 7 RC, is still present in the latest software and popping its ugly head up under Win 7 RTM. If they'd nipped it in the bud back then it should be fixed by now - that's annoying. I've been using online forums for a long time and I know it's always a good idea to search for a solution or similar thread and post in that if present, rather than opening an entirely new thread. As the bug is the same, the Adobe software version is very similar and the OS is just an earlier non-RTM version and there are no set forums for bugs within specific RTM vs RC/Beta OS's I posted here.
    I'm not going to start a new thread because if, as you say there's no addressing of Adobe Staff here (and you haven't mentioned you have inside connections and will pass it on) what's the point? I will make one phonecall to Abobe in an effort to report this but there needs to be more open ways of bug reporting, even if it is a free product.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader displaying boxes in place of dashes

    My company is having an issue with Word documents that have dashes and are converted to PDF.  On the resulting PDF when viewed with Acrobat Reader, the dashes are being displayed as boxes instead of dashes.  This is causing an issue with an OCR application that one of our clients is using resulting in the document to show as blank after the first box is encountered.
    I have searched for possible reasons why this could be happening and I have not been successful.
    Most of our users utilize Nuance PDF Create 7.0 and some still use Amyuni PDF Converter 2.1 to convert their Word documents to PDF.  I have tried to replicate this and have not been able to.  I have used Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 along with each PDF converter listed above as well as Adobe Acrobat reader version 9.1.0, 9.3.0 and 10.1.6 to view the PDFs.
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader X Crashes

    I initially posted this in the wrong forum (I derped and posted this in Forms. ^^;) So I'm posting this here again...
    Hi there,
    I'm having an issue with Adobe Acrobat Reader X. It seems to crash all the time whenever I try to open a .pdf online. They seem to open just fine when not embedded in a browser, but thing is, I can't get them to open by themselves, in Reader, because when I try to save the link, my computer will save it as a webpage and not as a .pdf file. (Although this could have something to do with my online course which is where I am trying to open files from.)
    The page will open, briefly show itself, and then promptly crash. Many times an error message box will appear, but there will be nothing in it but a question mark and an OK button, as if Acrobat has no idea what's going on either. lol
    I've tried updating Acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works. I really need this program to work as I won't be able to view any of my online school work without it.
    Here are my computer's stats:
    Dell XPS 8300i5
    Processor: Intel Core i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz
    RAM: 8 gigs
    System type: 64 bit
    Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6450
    Thank you!
    P.S. I've tried scouring the forums to see if I could find an answer to this but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place or I'm entering in the wrong information, but I haven't founda anything.

    Actually you need to run the 32 bit version of IE, since there are no separate plugins for a 64 bit version.
    Could you also try manually deleting all the files/folders from the installation directory (it would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0 by default) EXCEPT for the "Setup Files" folder. Now try and repair the application from within the Control Panel (Programs and Features) and see if it resolves the issue.
    In the meanwhile, you could try the following workaround to circumvent the browser crash.
    1. Open Adobe Reader and goto Edit > Preferences
    2. In the Internet Pane, uncheck the option for "Display PDF in browser"
    3. Close all windows and try accessing any PDF in the browser. It will now ask you to save the file on your hard disk rather than opening it in the browser.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader (can't open without saving document)

    hi guys,
    why is it that on my computer, when i download or open a link to a .PDF file, i have the options to either OPEN, SAVE, or CANCEL right from there. there is no need to save it to a location before i can open it...i can just open it. but on another computer i use, it only gives me the options to SAVE, or CANCEL...no open option... i must save it and then open it. it's really annoying.
    it is the same version of adobe acrobat reader and i even uninstalled her version and reinstalled it again hoping that it would fix the problem. is there a patch for Internet Explorer that is causing the issue (we are both using windows XP home, IE 6). anyone have any ideas?

    i was also given the Knowledge Base number 405461 from adobe, and they said that this would definitely fix the problem...AND IT DIDN'T :-(
    see kb405461
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...nalId=kb405461
    and just to let everyone know, i have already completely uninstalled adobe reader and reinstalled it several times thinking that fresh install would cure the problem, and it hasn't made a bit of difference. the version of reader doesn't matter either, as i've tried versions 7, 8 and 9... all with the same exact issue...which makes me think that it might be an issue with MS IE6.

  • Attempt to Access Invalid Address - Adobe Acrobat Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    My spec's:
    - OS: Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 64 bit
    - currently have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v 9.0.0 (works fine) - (AA9P)
    - Profile I am installing is an Administrator account
    - All A/V is turned off to include MS Security Essentials real time protection
    - MS EMET is turned off
    I have tried upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (AARXI) or the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (AAPXI), and keep getting the same debug message "attempt to Acess Invalid Address"
    I have UNINSTALLED AA9P, and THEN rebooted. I then tried to install AAPXI = same debug message. No errors were present during the installation and I also verified the MD5 checksum on the download, so that I getting a complete install package
    I then UNINSTALLED AAP XI, then rebooted.
    I INSTALLED AAPRXI, and received no errors during installation. Again, all installs are ocurring under a ADMINISTRATOR account with all security software disabled. Tried opening AAPRXI and get the same debug message.
    My OS has every available patch installed for both Microsoft and Third Party.
    Any suggestions on how to correct this installation?

    Still no solution to this problem. I went ahead and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI thinking I could always get refunded but maybe it was the trial version?
    I have since taken a number of steps to verify my computer was clean before I installed AAPXI
    -- remotely ran sweeps across my computer using Retina and Tenable Nessus = clean and all available/critical patches installed
    -- running Win7 Ultimate SP1
    -- running latest versions of all third party software (Java, Flash, etc.)
    -- Ran Sysinternal procmon to see if what was going on (will upload to adobe...tons of "NAME NOT FOUND")
    ---- in procmon, I filtered out most of the noise...just need an assist from Adobe Tech
    -- I used the tool above that Claudio Gonazlez identified and removed everything, even my entire Adobe CS4 installation =(
    -- Rebooted
    -- Double checked that all security software is disabled
    ** installed AAPXI with NO installation errors
    -- tried opening AAPXI but get the same error " C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe    Attempt to access invalid address"
    Any help from the community or Adobe? Been trying off an on for two weeks to fix this. Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 standard

    Hi i will like to know if Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 standard can be install on window 7 64 bit OS?

    I have problems with the "standard" bit of your question; are you asking about Adobe Reader, or Adobe Acrobat?
    If Adobe Reader, then you should download the latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If Adobe Acrobat, then most likely it will install on Windows 7, but you may need to run it in Windows XP compatibility mode.  I'm doing the same with Photoshop 7.

  • "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

    We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

    Hi Valerie,
    Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
    Also, try this:-
    Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
    From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
    Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

  • 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 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.
