Adobe Reader 2.0 for PocketPC power-saving issue

Hello,
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens LOOX720 device and noticed that device battery discharges relatively quickly when I read PDF documents with Adobe Reader (Windows Mobile 2003SE).
The trouble is that device runs at turbo processor speed all the time the Adobe Reader document is viewed (even when you switch to other applications and put Adobe Reader instance to background).
I set the processor speed settings of my device to Automatic Mode and the rest of applications work as expected - they do not consume much CPU power when they are idle and the CPU is automatically switched to power saving mode. This does not happen when Adobe Reader is viewing the document and the only solution is to set the CPU settings to Power Saving mode manually. This is very inconvenient because rendering of PDF documents is too slow in power saving mode.
I hope the description is clear and it will help to fix this problem in future versions of Adobe Reader.
Thank you!

>>> battery drain happens only when the device is powered on and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document. <<
Actually, my experience is continued battery drain when powered OFF and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document.
One possibility is that when the midnight calendar update occurs, an open instance of reader may keep the unit powered on.
On windows mobile devices, the power button is a "suspend" button and applications remain open, and while normally inactive, some programs continue to run and make power demands on the ppc.
>> report to adobe <<
It's been pretty obvious over the years that Adobe does not care about nor will invest any resources in the ppc reader to address any user issues.

    Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.
    Latest version of Adobe Reader:- http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Adobe Reader Plugin needed for Safari

    How can I get the Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari?

    Hi,
    Default install of Adobe Reader X package has Browser plug-in checked for install. Did you customize your installation and unchecked this option which indicates you dont want to install browser plug-in. Other possibility could be that you are using both Reader 9 and Reader X in your system and after Reader X install, you have updated Reader 9 assuming updating 9.4.0 to 9.4.1. This will change the plug-in version back to 9.4.1 (latest update).
    One way to have version X is rerun Reader X installer and it will repair your plug-in to version 10.0.0. As an advise do not use both Reader 9 and Reader X in same system (though this is possible). You can simply delete version 9 application and continue working with Reader X installed.
    Secondly to answer your question that Safari keeps on asking to choose Reader application, what you can do is  open com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist in /Library/Preferences in any plist viewer. It should have a key - WebBrowserUsePath. This should be pointing to correct reader application on your system. Normally its value is something like - file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    In your case you have moved Adobe Reader.app to /Applications/Local-A/PDF Software/Adobe Reader.app
    So change the value of this key to point to correct application. Here it should be - file://localhost/Applications/Local-A/PDF%20Software/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    This will ensure that Safari does not prompt you again.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader Plug-in for Chrome

    I was wondering if there was going to be any releases soon to resolve the issue with the Adobe Reader Plug-in for Chrome due to Chrome no longer supporting NPAPI? I know there is a work around found on Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI : "We will provide an override for advanced users (via chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) and enterprises (via Enterprise Policy) to temporarily re-enable NPAPI while they wait for mission-critical plugins to make the transition." However, that work around will no longer be available come September 2015.
    Please let me know if anyone has any information as to if the next  version of Reader plug-in will be supported in Chrome, and if not when?
    Thanks!

    Look for a plugin that supports PDF; Reader is an application, not a file format, so it may not be listed that way in the plugin list. If not, you may just have to download the PDFs and open them in Reader manually but you can try asking for help in the Chrome forums:

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

    When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password.  It doesn't accept my Adobe password.  What password is it searching for?

    Then try leaving the password field blank and hitting enter. If that doesn't work, you have a password (and would be beyond the help available in the Adobe forums).

  • Is Adobe Reader X suitable for collaborative work?

    Hello,
    I am currently evaluating the possible use of Acrobat Reader X in my enterprise.
    We use a Documentum Content Server for storing PDF documents (and other formats as well).
    I have seen that Lifecycle Connector for ECM may allow using this configuration.
    End users will use Acrobat Reader X (no upgrade to XI can be foreseen due to deployment impact) to annotate PDF documents.
    Does the Lifecycle Connector for ECM allows starting up Reader X from Documentum TaskSpace (xCP 1) or custom web application to select a PDF file and to automatically check-out, open (with Reader X), annotate and check-in it in a row?
    Or is the connection the job of Lifecycle Reader Extension? Or, since we have some web services for check-in/check-out, is it a better option to insert some custom JavaScript in the Reader X menu to access custom check-out/check-in services, sending some parameters such as the object id of a document for instance?
    What about concurrent access? Reader XI allows a team to annotate a same document at the same time. Is it feasible with Reader X as well?
    How is the annotated document stored into the ECM system? Is it stored as a new version of the document? Does it alter the original document? Does it save the original document and the annotations as separate objects linked by an id?
    With Reader X, if two users annotate at a same time a same document, do we know who added which annotation?
    In addition to Adobe Reader X, I also perform a benchmark with other solutions for annotations, such as A-Render and OpenAnnotate, which are web-based, but are not available in my enterprise yet. I am trying to figure out if Reader X would be a real added-value, since it is already in the road map of our next deployment.

    In addition to the questions above, we could also try to imagine how we could annotate documents that are stored using other formats (Office, Images...) in the content management system.
    I suppose we could add Adobe PDF Generator to generate PDF renditions of the document on the fly.
    This raises additional questions:
    - the on the fly rendition generation might be a blocking issue in term of response time. Is there a cache management?
    - Where are stored the generated renditions? Do we save them in the CMS together with the source document? Can it be saved as a rendition (Documentum rendition) of the source document? Or is it saved as another document, or as a dm_note? (Perhaps I should post this specific question on the EMC² forums, once I have same preliminary answers).

  • How to set Adobe Reader as default for reading pdfs?

    I recently added Adobe photoshop.  Now when I get a PDF attached to an email or the help file in another program it's automatically opened in Adobe Photoshop.  How do I change that to Adobe Reader?

    I had MS Word set by Windows 7/64 as .PDF default and could not get any version of Adobe Reader to install as the default.  Adobe support rejected the case Your Case Number:0181940706. After much searching, I found a Windows forum (not in Microsoft) that had the attached tool.  Worked great, all pdf files now have acrord icons and open automagically (sic) with Reader X.
    I've attached the link for you.  If Ray at Adobe support reaads this, feel free to share it with your co-workers. The tools can fix a defeult association for any file type.

  • Why can't I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and email it with the saved information?

    When I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and "Save As" to desktop the filled out information goes blank when I attach it to an email. Additionally, I can't save to word or excel except for online. What can I do to fix this?
