Adobe .pdf reader opening documents delay

Occasionally, when i have a few pdf documents open, when I try to open another pdf nothing happens for a while, then it opens up a while later. i am running the latest version of adobe reader, on windows xp.
although not a big issue, is annoying when it happens, any ideas?
Thanks

Your application is all CPUs. Use x86 and the form opening error goes away.

IWebBrowser2.Type="Adobe PDF Reader". What is the Document?

Hi,
I'm displaying a PDF within the ActiveX IWebBrowser2 container and looking for a way to access (parse) the text. When displaying Excel files, Type is "Excel" and Document is a Workbook reference. When displaying PDFs, Type="Adobe PDF Reader", but what is the Document? I've come across threads that suggest it might be of type IAcroAXDocShim or CAcroPDDoc, but when trying to use their methods receive "class not registered". Re: "class not registered", is it necessary to install Adobe Acrobat? Why? Reader is installed. Seems to me there ought to be a way to access the text with the tools at hand, no?
Any help is appreciated!

Adobe don't offer such a facility in their controls, not even with Acrobat. If you want to find out more about the very rich programming interface to Acrobat, and the tiny programming interface to the free Adobe Reader, you should download and install the Acrobat SDK - many thousands of pages of documentation and a few examples (for illustration, not cannibalism).

How do I display the web address within Adobe PDF Reader 10 & IE 9 64-bit?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter_1686a_10.11.11_7055 475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?

Print issue with Adobe PDF reader print in IE9

We are unable to print Brava PDF documents with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled in IE9. The same runs fine in Chrome with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled.
I noticed Chrome uses
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll, whereas IE9 uses-C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll.
Has anyone faced this issue?

Can you print other pdf files from within IE9? Can you download the files and print them directly from Reader on you computer? Please list the steps you are using to print the pdf from IE9.

How do I get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in IE9?

I want PDFs to open w/in the internet explorer 9 browser, but they won't. I've tried to enable the add-on in IE9, but it's not even listed.

The steps to enable the Adobe PDF plug-in vary depending on your version of Internet Explorer.
     Select Tools > Manage Add-ons. (Or choose Tools > Internet Options, click the Programs tab, then click Manage Add-ons.)
     In the Show pop-up menu, select All Add-ons. (In some versions the option is Add-ons That Have Been Used by Internet Explorer.)
     Scroll to the section of add-ons for Adobe Systems, and select Adobe PDF Reader.
     If the status of Adobe PDF Reader is set to Disabled, click the Enable button.

Concurrent installation of PDF IFilter 9 for indexing and Adobe PDF Reader 9.5.2

There is PDF IFilter 9, which is configured on SharePoint2010. I have seen that the installation of additional AdoveReader (in our case Adobe PDF Reader 9.5.2) on the same server can destroy IFilter installation. Is it somebody who has experience with that?

hi Phillip
i am not sure what you mean
I downloaded the ifilter and installed it
then configured everything as shown in the pdf file
I tried indexing from scratch exactly as i did successfully in the other computer
and got some errors in the log file
i checked the sql server log and the event viewer logs and got :

Adobe Reader XI 「Adobe PDF Reader」が「すべてのアドオン」に表示されません

AdobeReaderXを使用しておりましたが、この度、AdobeReaderXIをインストールしました。
（端末：Windows7からWindows8にアップデートを行ったIE10のPC）
AdobeReaderXを使用していた際に、下記設定（①）を行い、PDFがブラウザに表示されないようにしていましたが、
AdobeReaderXIでは下記設定（②）を行えば、同設定を行うことができることをヘルプにて確認しましたので、
試みたところ、【すべてのアドオン】に「Adobe PDF Reader」が表示されませんでした。
　　＜設定①＞【編集】-【環境設定】-分類【インターネット】より、『PDFをブラウザーに表示』チェックボックスを外す
　　＜設定②＞IEの【ツール】-【アドオンの管理】-表示【すべてのアドオン】より、「Adobe PDF Reader」のアドオンを無効にする
表示プルダウンを【許可なしに実行】に変更すると「Adobe PDF Reader」が表示されましたのですが、
どのような場合、【すべてのアドオン】に表示されないのでしょうか。
《備考》
表示分類について調べてみたところ、
【すべてのアドオン】　…　コンピュータ上のすべてのアドオンの一覧
【許可なしに実行】　…　事前にmicrosoft、コンピュータの製造元、サービスプロバイダーが承認しているアドオン
と分類されるそうなのですが、違う端末で試してみましたところ、下記状態になる端末もございました。
１）Adobe Reader XがプレインストールされているWindows8端末（IE10）にて、
　　Adobe Reader XIをインストール
　　　　→　管理者ユーザでログインする場合、【すべてのアドオン】にのみ表示され、【許可なしに実行】に表示されない。
　　　　→　一般ユーザでログインする場合、【すべてのアドオン】に表示されず、【許可なしに実行】にのみ表示される。
２）Adobe Reader 8がプレインストールされているWindows7端末（IE9）にて、
　　Adobe Reader XIをインストール
　　　　→　管理者ユーザ、一般ユーザどちらの場合も、【すべてのアドオン】、【許可なしに実行】共に表示される。
情報に過不足がありましたら、誠に申し訳ありません。
大変恐縮ですが、少しでも気がかりな点、この事象をご存知の方がいらっしゃいましたら、
是非、ご教示いただけますと幸いでございます。
誠に恐縮ですが、よろしくお願いいたします。

Assuming that you are on Windows, that's how it works: a program is installed, and assumes ownership of the file association for the files it handles.
There is an easy way to correct that after the installation: open Adobe Reader or Acrobat | Edit | Preferences | General: click on the Select Default PDF Handler button to select between Acrobat and Reader.

Adobe PDF Reader Add-on - IE11

Hello,
I work in a government organization and we are about the deploy IE11 to all of our machines. We've encountered an issue with how IE11 opens PDF. We want the PDF to open in IE11, and not open a separate Adobe Reader application. The fix we found so far was to disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, then re-enable. I also want to mention that we are pushing a group policy that does tweak a few settings. Here's what we are doing,
Pop-up allow list (several websites)
Prevent participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (enabled)
Turn off pop-up management (disabled)
Compatibility view
Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites - Enabled
Site to Zone Assignment List - Enabled
Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls - Enabled
Automatic prompting for file downloads - Enabled
Logon option - Enabled
Access data sources across domains - Enabled
Would any of these cause an issue with the Adobe PDF reader add-on? (We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.09
Thanks

I am starting to believe this issue may be a registry entry in HKCU as I can get the add-on to work for longer periods of time if I remove the user's profile from the local PC and then have them log in to build a new profile... the problem is that the add-on doesn't always continue to work, it just appears to work for a longer period of time before having to disable and enable the add-on again.
As far as my install package goes, I created a transform file using the Adobe Customization Wizard with the following options:
Personalization Options:
     Suppress display of EULA
Installation Options:
     Make Reader the default PDF viewer
     Remove all versions
     Enable Optimization
     Enable Caching of installer files on local hard drive

I then created a VB Script to run the msiexec and reference the .msi and .mst files. I created the SCCM package and program and reference the VB Script. The installation works and the modified settings are there, so I know the .mst file is being referenced as well. I'm still working on finding a resolution and hopefully one of us comes up with something solid soon.

Adobe PDF Reader Active X Control

I am using the Adobe PDF Reader Active X Control on one of my VI's Front Panels. It seems that this control wants whatever VI is using it to have its preferred execution type set to "user interface mode." I am not too familiar with the ramifications of this but I have found one side effect: there cannot be any keyboard input to the VI (e.g. when typing values into numeric or string controls). Why is this? Is there any workaround?
I also found some interesting behavior, I can set the VI that owns the PDF Reader Active X control to "standard" preferred execution type if I use Automation Open remotely (from another VI). I can then use the keyboard to enter values into numeric and string controls until I start interacting with the Active X Control.
Thanks for any help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Amaglio:
I was able to edit a string control and a numeric while having a PDF loaded up.
Do you have the load method inside a while loop or something that might cause the keyboard to be repeatedly co-opted by the activeX control?
I've attached a sample VI that worked for me.

Having to disable Adobe PDF Reader add-ons then enabling it.

After updating through 11.0.02 -> 11.0.03 -> 11.0.07 (Not currently on 11.0.10), and before I go any further, we also are using IE11 w/Enterprise Mode and the latest version of Chrome. Also, users have Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.09. PDF's are set to open in Adobe Reader. Well, after updating Adobe Reader with the versions mentioned above, a user will open IE or Chrome and click on a link that should open a .PDF in another window or give the option to download it. When this happens, sometimes all the content can't be interacted with or it just doesn't open. The ONLY way I know of to fix this is to go in to IE, manage add-ons or Chrome://plugins, disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, close the browser, open the browser and enable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, restart the browser again. At that time, will the PDF's open properly.
Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? One of the reasons I don't like to push out Adobe Reader updates in our district during the school year is because of this reason.
Thanks

I have removed the "Assumed Answered" status.
But unfortunately I don't know what the cause of your problem could be.

Problem with Adobe PDF reader for Window 64 bit using Visual Studio professional 2013

Hi,
Does Adobe PDF reader support window 7 64bits?
Best regards,

Adobe PDF Reader causing error in Windows 7

Greetings everyone.
I created a very simple VB.NET windows form application that only has one control, the Adobe PDF Reader. I created this project in both VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) and VS 2010 (.NET 3.5). My developer machine is XP SP3 32 bit. I experienced the same problem with version 8 and 10 of Adobe Reader.
When I compile the application and run the EXE file on my XP machine, everything is fine. I can see the form with the Adobe PDF Reader control. When I try to run the same program on our new Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit test machine, I get a generic Windows 7 error that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" and I never see the form.
Has anybody else had this experience with Adobe PDF Reader on Windows 7?

I appear to have found the solution to the problem RE AcroPDF.dll with Windows 7.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed on our Windows 7 test machine. I added Adobe Reader to the list of controls. When I tried to add the control to a form I got an error that said:
Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
When I researched this error in Adobe's forums, I found another user that basically said I needed to go to the Internet settings, under Preferences for Adobe Reader X, and make sure the box for Display PDF In Browser was checked.
After testing with my applications, this does appear to resolve the problem.
Let me know if anyone has any additional comments. Thanks for the help.
