Adobe plugin creates junk debug files: 'C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt'

Hello,
latest Adobe Reader for Linux (9.5.5) - its plugin for firefox named nppdf32.so creates junk debug files named: 'C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt' in directories from where a firefox was executed.
This happens since Acrobat Reader 9.5.1 release.
How to make Adobe fixing this bug?
How to contact them efficiently?
This bug exists since 9.5.1 dated 04/09/2012 and Adobe do not care. Fix is trivial for Adobe: disable debug logging in release versions and stop using Windows path 'C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt' in Linux products.
Workaround for this bug is trivial: open in hex editor: nppdf32.so file installed by Adobe Reader, go to position 0x0002193a in this file (or simply search for C:\ - there is only one place), and replace string:
C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt
with:
/dev/null
Because string /dev/null is shorter than C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt fill remainings of previous string with hex zeroes: 00 to keep everything in place.
Come on Adobe what's wrong with you! Why you do not provide such simple fix by yourself! It's 3 minutes of primitive work!

Here are few solutions:
1. You can configure firefox to open pdf in external application like acroread. This way plugin problem is bypassed. - I use it this way. It looks to be faster this way.
2. "C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt" is created every time in directory from where you executed firefox/opera/other browser and opened any pdf file in browser. So this is not only home directory. You can fix this problem by yourself by hex editing nppdf.so file and replacing C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt path in this file with /dev/null path.

Office PDF Print and office PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different line thickness result

Hi together,
Office PDF Print and office abobe PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different result. It seems that Adobe PDf creater improves line thickness to 1pt instead of 0,3pt. Is there a setting to change to original 0,3 because this 0,3 are standard line thickness for our documents. with adobe V9 the line was 0,3pt. (we need thin, mid and thick lines)
After 2 day's google searching this is the last change for hope :-)
Software Versions
Windows 7
MS Office 2007 (12.0.6668.5000) SP3 MSO (12.0.6662.5000)
Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
Left: MSO Adobe Plugin / MId: MS Word / Rigth: PDF printed over "print" AdobePDF printer

Hi Bill,
Thanks a lot for the fast reply, i have tested it with 300dpi but I didn't get a different result. The bad thing is that not all lines getting thicker. if there is no arrow or ball at the end of the line the line thickness will not change (see Pic). I think this is a Acrobat error, i don't think that this will improve the pdf quality if the progam changes only some lanes and not all to 1pt.
I Think we must downgrade to version 9.

How do I find the program that is creating a debug file

Hi,
I have a bunch of debug files in /usr/tmp directory on a Unix box. I am using Oracle Apps 11i. How do I find which program is causing this file?
There content of the debug files does not have much information to point to any particular program.
Thanks
Asgar

Thanks for the update.
The user is oracle and group is dba. I know from the name of the file that it is coming from oracle apps (somewhere in a custom program).

Is there an ADOBE plugin for MS Project 2010 to create Dynamic PDF files?

I wonder if there exist any ADOBE plugin for MS Project 2010 to create Dynamic PDF files?

We are not going to use form fields. An employee is going to create large projects in MS Project 2010 and want to share his projects with other employees. So the need is just a viewer. So I guess we need to check out all the third part MS Project Viewers which is out there. Thanks for your answers guys!

Adobe Acrobat plugin creates a fake entry at Windows' taskbar

Hello. Since a few Firefox and Acrobat Reader versions back (not sure which ones), whenever I open a PDF file in Firefox, Adobe's plugin creates a bogus window at my Windows' taskbar. It has the default unknown application icon, with no title, and it's useless clicking or right-clicking it, as not even a menu shows up. In fact, it is nothing, but it is annoying.
I am sure it is Adobe's plugin because it doesn't happen neither when I open a PDF with Firefox's built-in reader nor when I have Adobe's plugin enabled and set but not fired yet. Also, the fake window entry goes away a while after I close the last PDF tab.
I have uploaded a screenshot here: http://s2.postimg.org/rms7ywuvt/screenshot_firefox_adobe_acrobat_reader_plugin_f.jpg

It's hard to know what is happening here.
As a test of how Firefox+Acrobat works in an uncustomized Firefox, could you create a new Firefox profile and try that PDF again. In addition to bypassing current add-ons and custom settings, it should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Close Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]. Any time you want to switch profiles, close Firefox and return to this dialog. Two tips:
* When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested; if you prefer to use a different folder, to avoid data loss, do not choose any existing folder.
* I recommend backing up all profiles before using the delete function, so you can recover in case the wrong one gets deleted.
Does the plugin work any better in the new profile?

I created one adobe plugins to work from Adobe Reader/Acrobat using Adobe Acrobat SDK and that was built on .net 3.5 version. On conversion of .net framework version from v3.5 to v4.5, we are now getting error while the Adobe Reader/Acrobat is starting and plugins are not working. While making the log we found following exception:

Can anyone help me to find the reason and resolution of the problem I am facing. Thanks in advance.

Yes plugin is written using C++ and that plugin is connecting with MyApp. Previously the plugin was working fine while the connection WCF service was in .net version 3.5 but on change of .net version to v4.5 is throwing the exception. This wcf service developed on C#.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have pdf file with 500 pages created from AutoCad file. In all pages, I have different document numbers.The file is not editable in pdf. How to change all the document numbers using "Comment" feature? Any alternate method? alternate method? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Windows -7 platform.

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

PDF files do not have a "resolution" - they aren't images. The pages are a mix of vector art and text, and raster (pixel-based) graphics. The raster items on a page can (and often do) have different resolutions.

Problems creating a PDF file w/ Word 2000 + Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Hi all,
we have a problem with some of our word files. When trying to create a PDF file w/ Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by pressing on the Acrobat button in Word, sometimes the PDF distiller gets stuck and doesn't create a PDF file. When pressing <Alt>+<F9> we see that the file is overcrowded with fields, e.g.:
{PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark"} { PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark" }
{ PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /StPNE pdfmark" } { PRINT \p para "[ /StBMC pdfmark" ] { PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /Title () /StPNE pdfmark}
etc.
When deleting all of these fields it is possible to create a PDF file (which is quite a nuisance). Does anybody know what these fields mean and esp. what can be done to stop Word/Acrobat writing the text felds into our documents?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Chris

All of the marks are created to provide the tags and other items related to bookmarks, links, and accessibility. Sometimes there is a problem if your TEMP folder does not have enough room. You get these when you use PDF Maker (the create PDF icon in WORD). You can select the preferences in PDF Maker and deselect a lot of the items, particularly tags that tend to bloat the PDF but are useful for accessibility or going back to WORD (you should always keep the WORD file anyway). That may solve the problem. If you do not want any of the extra info, then print to the Adobe PDF printer instead.

How do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created.

how do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created

Hi sbuckton,
Sure, you can encrypt your document while converting it. However you will have to use your Microsoft office for that.
Please refer to the above screenshot & follow the steps :-
1) Open Microsoft word with your word file.
2) Click on the 'Acrobat' tab on the top.
3) Then choose the Create PDF option form below.
4) A pop up window will appear asking you to save the file as PDF, however before saving the file click on the 'Restrict Editing' option.
5) Again a pop up window will come up on your screen, you can choose for the Encryption method & password protection option in order to secure the document.
6) Once done, Save the file.
In case if you still experience any issue please let us know.
Regards,
Aadesh

Adobe draw creates png files not vector, why is this?

i have used the upload to 'illustrator option and Adobe illustrator just says 'unsupported file format'. Having checked in my creative cloud file it appears that 'Adobe draw' creates the file this way, which is a little confusing as it is a vector based app. Can anyone help me get my artwork from draw to illustrator without having to mask or redraw please.

super d,
I believe you should ask over here, in the Draw forum:
