Adobe Reader 10.1.2 not recognising keyboard input

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Adobe Reader X on Windows 7 Ultimate. Adobe Reader is not recognising any keyboard input, so I'm unable to type in a page number to jump to that page, the alt key doesn't bring up the menu, even Alt+F4 doesn't close the application etc. Has anybody experienced this problem, and if so, is there a solution out there?
I've tried both repairing the installation, and doing a new install, both of which have failed to rectify the problem.
Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. Please try the following steps:
1. Launch Notepad and type in following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
2. Click on File > Save As
3. In the new dialog that appears:
Select All Files in the Save as type list, and then type C:\Exe.reg in the File name box.
Select Unicode in the Encoding list. Save it and remember the file location.
4. Open My Computer and double click on the C: icon
5. You will see a file by the name of "Exe.reg". Double click on the same and click Yes on any dialog that appears.
6. Once completed, restart the computer and your problem should be resolved.

  • I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    More information would be good.
    What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

    I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file.  It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

    What is your operating system?
    You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
    Also, is this a local or online PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!

    Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader  9.4  but not in  adobe reader X.   Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
    Does anybody else has this problem ?
    I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.

    PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4

    "Adobe Reader X doesn't support search catalogs created with Acrobat 5 or earlier.
        You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
    I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

    Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

    We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
    Which one do you have?

  • Does not recognise keyboard on boot

    I downloaded the USB debug kit from Apple's developer website and installed it. After restart it does not recognise the keyboard and mouse.

    solved! i had configured my keyboard in xorg.conf
    I commented out the option: "AutoAddDevices" "false" in xorg
    and created a hal .fdi file for the keyboard like this:
    cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
    and edit 10-keymap.fdi accordingly
    more info here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … figuration
    hope this helps
    by the way is this a bug? shouldn't both configurations (hotplugging and old school xorg) work?
