Adobe Reader 10.1.1 installed on Windows 7 os with MSWord pdf won't read aloud. Why?

What is wrong here? Everything works and I checked the preferences under Edit in the Menu. I even turned off my firewall just in case. Also Read aloud mode is checked under View in the Menu and I started it at the beginning of the document. I also checked my sound systems on my computer and everything is ok. Hmmm.??? Can anyone help me?

thanks to a contributor whose Id I have lost now but had the answer! It was go to preferences under View in the Menu and click General. Then uncheck Protected Mode. close Reader and re open and it worked. The voice is so much nicer than the old Adobe Reader. Many thanks to this Forum contributors.

    Maybe you can give us some more information as to what you actually purchased. Adobe Reader is free and can be downloaded at Adobe Reader Install for all versions

  • Adobe acrobat 7.0 professional installed on windows 8

    With the assistance of Adobe Chat I have downloaded adobe acrobat 7.0 professional to my desktop which has windows 8. Everything works beautifully except when I go on to internet explorer and try to view a pdf document. It says "This page can't be displayed". I'm sure it is just a setting somewhere, can anyone help me? Thank you, Don.

    Yes, I successfully installed Acrobat 7.0 professional on Windows 8. I’m now able to create pdf files on my Microsoft Office Suit (Word & Excel) and anytime I need to add/extract pages, etc. in these pdf files I’m able to use 7.0. My only problem was opening pdf’s on my internet explorer. I downloaded the latest version of Adobe reader and now everything works great (for my needs). I now have the choice of opening my pdf files (In “Documents”) in either 7.0 or reader, depending if I want to just read the document or work with it. I have no need to create pdf files with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 because saving documents in pdf format is a built-in feature of my Microsoft Office suit software (which is great)

  • PDF opens and works correctly with Windows 8 Reader, but not with Adobe Reader.  Why?

    Hi,
    My sister-in-law has this PDF order form from one of her company's distributors that opens and allows editing of specific fields.
    The only application that opens the file correctly (visually and functionally) is the Windows 8 Reader.  If I open the file in Adobe Reader or with the Mac viewer things do not line up, fonts are too large, and when editing fields sometimes symbols show up and sometimes way over-sized numbers show up.
    This behavior has been observed on both a Windows 8.1 PC as well as on a Mac Book Air.
    Can someone please tell me why this is happening?  Is there something that needs to be configured differently?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    This is what I see when I open that PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07:
    Can you tell me which parts are not correct?  Obviously the Submit button is a bit strange.

  • After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

    I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded,  can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
    I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same  message
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    Agein after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.

    Thank you Pat,
    I have already been there done that. I first  Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
    maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
    when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
    Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • How to do a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 OEM Key

    I have recently purchased a new C540 that has Windows 8 already installed on it.  I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1 on this computer.
    This is what I have done so far:
    I disabled 3 things in the BIOS: IIRC, they were secure boot, quick boot, and something about "optimized" startup
    I have changed my boot priority to put the CD/DVD drive first and any flashdrive 2nd
    I have figured out my OEM Windows Product Key (this is for a Windows 8 Core/64 bit OS)
    I have setup a flashdrive with Windows 8.1 on it
    I tried to boot from the flashdrive...when I get the option to install windows 8.1, I click on it and very quickly get the following error -- "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."
    I added a PID.txt file with my OEM product key in the Source folder of the Windows 8.1 install....I don't get the above error message immediately, but a screen comes up that asks me to enter a Product Code...my OEM product code (being for W8,  not W8.1) does not work while using a generic key (for Windows 8.1 Core) yields the same error message as above and exits the installer.
    I then added an EI.CFG file that sets the edition to core, the version to OEM, and the Volume to 0...unfortunately, when trying to install Windows 8.1 it still asks me for a product key before installing...I cannot get past this screen even though (to my understanding) the EI.CFG file should cause the installer to skip asking for a product key...
    It is important to me that I get to perform a CLEAN install of Windows 8.1...I do not want to upgrade through windows store...the only keys I have are a W8 Pro Retail key (for my laptop) and a W8 Core OEM key (that came with the new C540)...I am using a flashdrive to perform this since I knew I may have to add/change files like the PID and EI.CFG....
    I would appreciate any help I can get in solving this problem...I am also willing to try burning an .iso with the PID and/or EI.CFG, but I'm trying to avoid trial and error with that since it is time consuming, requires an ADK, and may waste DVDs...I'd only make an .iso if (for whatever reason) that would work where a flashdrive woud not...

    I have a new SSD drive and need to either migrate my old HD data, including the Windows 8.1 OS or do a a clean install.  I have obtained the ISO, prepared the boot for the flashdrive and downloaded the install software.  It asks for the product key.   I used the suggested BIOS reader and obtained "a" product key off the BIOS and used that it but (as above) it does not recognize the image.
    How id I get my single Windows license onto my new SSD HD?  Reload, clean install, ???
    How do I get the proper product key or confirm it is correct? 
    It is a new system with little data that I need to copy. I just want the operating system.  I have the driver disc that came with it.

  • No Sound from Adobe Read-Aloud

    I have a PC running Windows 7. I have Adobe XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro intalled. I can turn on "Read-Aloud" in either but when "Read-Aloud" is turned on and I choose to read the page, the document or just a paragraph, no sound is produced. The sound card works for all other programs. Neither Adobe program will read any .pdf file. What's wrong?

    The volume preferences were already set exactly as shown in your last message in both Acrobat Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Neither will read aloud any .pdf file. This problem was discovered on my home computer which is a 64-bit Dell computer running Windows 7. I tried "Read Aloud" on my office computer and it read .pdf files aloud. My office computer is a 32 bit machine running Windows XP. Any other suggestions?

  • P1102w Can't get Installed On Windows 7 Desktop with wireless

    My Laser Jet P1102w has worked find with my children's Window 7 laptops.  My spouse got a Windows machine desktop with wireless and I cannot get it to work with this printer.  I used the disc with the software download.   I get to where you plug it into the computer and it does not recognise it at all.   I checked the USB ports, it sees the flash drive I plug in.  The laptops still see the printer plugged into the USB port.  I uninstalled everything, tried the download on line, unistalled everything, tried it all again, unplugged the printer numerous times to reset.  Any ideas? 
    I am adding this later in the day:
    I got it to work!  I erased all downloads for hp, uninstalled all hp programs, shut down the computer and the printer (also unplugged the printer).  Started up the computer, put the driver disc in, selected the network printer option for wifi, reinstalled without plugging in the printer.  I am so glad it works finally after hours of working on this.  Just wanted to add what worked for any who have this issue.  

    Hi guys!  Had the same issue with a client.  Just found the solutions brainstorming (and the red bull helped!!)  This is tested on a Windows x64 machine sharing the printer on the network and attempting to connect via a Windows XP machine.  The printer has been previously shared amongst other Windows 7 x64 machine successfully.
    The solution is to install the HP Universal Printer Driver - PCL5 version on the machine where the printer is connected locally FOR THE SAME PRINTER THUS CREATING A SECOND PRINTER USING THE UNVERSAL DRIVER.
    After downloading the file, it will unzip and start the installation.  Choose the existing printer using the same port ( it will say ie DOT4 - HP Laserjet 2200).  Once it completes, unclick [ ] Set as default and complete the operation.  Now go to the Printers listing.  Under the HP Lasterjet 2200 printer there should be two printers listed - one using the Windows 7 x64 biut driver and the other using the HP Universal driver
    Now, on the Windows XP machine, use the same Universal Printer Drviver and find the printer by browsing the network for the computer.  You should see the HP Universal Printer.  Select it and continue with the installation.  Once completed, print a test page.    PRESTO!!!
    Hope it works.  In the middle of a my runs so if you need more elaboration, give me a bit to answer back.

  • Clean install of windows 8 crashing with BSoD: "attempted execute of noexecute memory"

    I recently bought this computer (sorry for hyperlink, but it is much easier than trying to list all the components):
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227593
    I added a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD to it, and then I attempted to do a clean install of windows 8.1 onto the SSD from
    the reinstall DVD that came with the system. Windows 8.1 appears to install correctly, but when the computer restarts to load windows for the first time, I get a BSoD with the error "attempted execute of noexecute memory". I tried reinstalling, but
    got the same error.
    Note that for testing purposes, I installed windows 7 on the SSD, and it works great. Unfortunately, I do not have a windows
    7 key, so this is only a temporary solution. I would like to figure out how to get windows 8.1 on the SSD and running on the my computer.
    Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you can give me.

  • Labview 2009 install on windows 7 fails with error code 1935

    Hello all,
    I have problems installing LV9 on my windows7 machine.
    It always ends with:
    Any ideas would be welcome.
    Thanks
    Albert

    Since it is not simple to reinstall only .net framework on W7  (it is part of the operating system),
    I checked the .net framework with the .NET FRAMEWORK VERIFICATION TOOL
    ( http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8999004.aspx.)
    Verification succeeded for .net 2.0,3.0 and 3.5.
    Since there are more problems on this pc. (1:windows update problems with strange errorcodes, 2:unable to turn windows features on/of)
    i decided to rerun the W7 setup.
    i selected the upgrade option , assuming this would update corrupted files, and it did.
    After that LV9 installed without problems.

  • Trouble with Adobe Read Aloud

    I activated the read aloud feature but when I push the button to read the page, it will say warning empty page. When I click on the text, it will say blank.

    I can both select and highlight the text but for some reason it reads it as an empty document. Is there something I need to do to the pdf so that the read aloud will work.

  • My Adobe CS5 mastersuite is not installing in Windows 8 past Acrobat

    I have a new laptop with windows 8. the first time I put in my cs5 install disk, I got the main install menu, and I chose full istall. It kept hanging, but with some help from HP, I got past that. Not it keeps going to Acrobat, reloads it, and doesn't go past that. Plus, I can't get back tot he main install menu.
    HIN: Autorun never did - I had to do a run somand on setup.exe. Any ideas?

    Hi joesutliffvirginia,
    Try installing it in selective statup mode by disabling all 3rd party non-micrsoft applications.
    You can also Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 -http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html.
    Note : Only Creative Suite 5.5 and Creative Suite 6 has been tested for Windows 8.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/support/OScompatibility.html.

  • Can Adobe Design Premium CS5 be installed on Windows 8?

    I have Adobe Design Premium CS5 (purchased on Education discount) installed on two laptops, one of which is now dying. I need to get the CS5 onto my new laptop, which has Windows 8.
    1. Does CS5 work with Windows 8?
    2. What do I need to do? Do I need to uninstal CS5 from the old laptop first? (not sure it will work, as sometimes it doens't even start)
    3.  Do I use this place to download CS5 https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html? Will I be asked for the serial number and that's it? Or is there anything else I need to do?
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you for your reply. However, I still have problems.
    I followed the 'very important instructions' that you sent the link for; all fine up to the point of trying to download. I tried first using the link http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html and clicked on Download Now under the table of direct downloads - it installed the InstalConverter.exe fine. Then I tried to download File 1 and File 2 of CS5 Design Premium from the table but I am getting the following message for both:
         ACCESS DENIED. You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/MDIA/CS5/win32/DesignPremium_CS5_LS1.exe?" on this server.
    Could this be because the 2 licences have been already used?  (However, it might have done something, as I found an Adobe folder in my Program files containing Flash Player; unfortunately it doesn't seem to work so it probably is not in fact installed)
    I tried to deactivate the Adobe CS5 on my old laptop, as suggested but not sure how to do it for the whole CS5 package. Do I have to deactivate every CS5 component separately?
    I tried the download also via the other website - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html. The download of the zip file (file 1) got stuck about 75% through, giving a message that the zip file can't be opened...
    Please help!!
    Thank you.
