Adobe Reader 64 Bit

From what I can gather, there is no roadmap for supporting 64 bit browser plugins/Reader.
Is that correct?
If so, it's mind boggling considering how many enterprise customer's depend on the the browser plugin. Is Adobe ever planning to support a 64 bit Reader? Does anyone know?

Those that know cannot say, they are under non-disclosure agreements. However, I can tell you that I have heard nothing about 64-bit support.Many enterprise customers may depend upon a browser plug-in. But my bet is that vast majority of enterprise customers are running 32-bit systems. Heck, most of them may be still running XP.

Bug: Adobe Reader 64-bit inode problem

Adobe Reader version: 9.3.3 (same issue also arises in later versions).
Operating System: 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 10.04
Synopsis: Adobe Reader will is unable to properly 'stat' on XFS mounted with '-o inode64' option.
How to reproduce the problem:
======================
- make an XFS greater than one terabyte in capacity ('man mkfs.xfs' for details):
mkfs.xfs /dev/sda
- mount the XFS with the '-o inode64' option ('man mount' for a full explanation of
the implications of this):
mount -o inode64 /dev/sda /mnt/blah
- fill the file-system to near capacity.
- now launch Adobe reader, setting one's home to be somewhere on the XFS:
[tcsh]
(setenv HOME /mnt/blah; acroread)
[bash]
(HOME=/mnt/blah; acroread)
Result:
An 'Internal error' is reported in a dialog; Adobe Reader fails to start.
".xsession-errors' contains 'failed to create ~/.adobe' messages.
==================
The man-page for 'mount' contains the following excerpt on the '-o inode64'
mount-option for XFS:
===
Indicates that XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location
in the filesystem, including those which will result in inode
numbers occupying more than 32 bits of significance.   This is
provided for backwards compatibility, but causes problems for
backup applications that cannot handle large inode numbers.
====
Paradoxically, Adobe Reader can *open* PDFs that are located on an
XFS file-system mounted with the '-o inode64' option.
Is it possible that the code that attempts to stat the "~/.adobe" configuration
directory is not using 64-bit stat operation?

There has been no reply from Adobe in this forums about this matter. It has been over a year.
We have implemented a crude work-around that sets one's home directory to be somewhere on a local file-system which does not have the 'inode64' mount option (/tmp):
[bash]
HOME=`/bin/mktemp --directory` acroread
[(t)csh]
(setenv HOME `/bin/mktemp --directory`; acroread)
This gets around the problem but since a new, random 'home' directory is created under /tmp,
acroread will ask the end-user to agree to the terms & conditions each time it is launched. There is also no persistence of settings.
Our primary OS is Ubuntu Linux with users home directories on NFS home directory servers.
If the local file-system on any of those servers is XFS with inode64 enabled, we encounter the problem. Our intention is to use a dpkg-diversion of the acroread package to our script that launches with the alternate home directory where required:
===
#!/bin/sh -
# Script to invoke Adobe Reader for Linux with a fake home directory
# for users on a home directory server with 64-bit inodes.
# Adobe Reader <= 9.5.X cannot handle 64-bit inode home dirs.
AUTOFSHOMES="/etc/auto.homes"
# The real acroread is dpkg-diverted to /usr/bin/acroread-real.
ACROREAD="/usr/bin/acroread-real"
# Make a note of user's actual home directory (/homes/xyz).
ARHOME=$HOME
# SFBSERVERS = string list of known home directory servers
# using 64-bit inodes. Additions to this list should be
# in the form of a grep pattern: (A|B|C|D).
SFBSERVERS="(server1|server2|server3)"
# Check for matching autofs entry for user.
if grep --perl-regexp --ignore-case --silent
"^${USER}\t${SFBSERVERS}\." ${AUTOFSHOMES} ; then
     ARHOME=`/bin/mktemp --directory`
     STATUS=$?
     if [ ! $STATUS -eq 0 ]; then
        /bin/echo -e "Your home directory is on a server where 64-bit
inodes are enabled.\nacroread does not work correctly on such servers.
We tried to launch\nacroread with a 'fake' home directory as a
work-around but that too\nfailed as there is no space for such a
directory under /tmp.\n"
        exit 1
     fi
fi
HOME=$ARHOME exec $ACROREAD $@
===
It's a work-around of sorts but it would be very helpful if Adobe could at least comment on the issue and - better yet - address it.

Adobe reader 32 bits

HI, I use Win XP 32 bits. What adobe software can I use (and where can I downloan it?) to generate .pdf files?
And is there a way to shrink the files that are over 25 Mb without loosing quality?

Adobe no longer sell anything suitable for Windows XP.

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,

You posted in the forum for iPad and iPhone (different app). I've moved your question to the Reader forum for desktop/laptop computers.

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

Need to install Adobe Reader to a 64 bit folder and not (x86) default 32 bit folder

Hi
We have a program on our system which searches on local machines for their Adobe Reader in able to open up a pdf. Only one pc on our network is 64 bit and of course when installing Reader will default install to C:\Program Files (x86).
We need to be able to install AR to C:\Program Files to allow the databse to work on this 64 bit pc.
I have tried using the cmd feature and also adobe customisation wizard but to no avail.
Is there any way to change folder location on install?
Many thanks

The software is wrong? How do you mean? The software by default tells the users computers to use Adobe Reader to open up the created pdf files by this program. This program has been designed for a specialist purpose and cost thousands. Unfortunately the default location is under the 32 bit directory which is Program Files on all the 32 bit machines which is just fine. Now we need the 64 bit pc to be able to run this software but changing the default location of where to find adobe reader would mean the 32 bit pc's would not work. To add another location would mean the designer of the program charging another huge amount (approx £300).
All I am asking is there anyway installing AR can override the default location in a 64 bit pc and put adobe in C:\Program Files as if it were a 32 bit pc?
Many thanks for replies so far

Adobe reader XI 11.0.05,running in Win 7 Pro 64-bit

I have the black X upper left corner. When access a web sit , for example WWW.SSA.GOV and click in forms , then open a pdf link , a blank screen shows with a black x only. I tried many options to fix this problem but not success. If I try to open the same document in google chrome it opens perfect. So my problem is with IE, so Ireset the IE and no fix. I downgrade to IE10 , no fix. I downgrade to IE8 and installed Adobe reader 9.5 and the web document open perfect. I don't want to leave this computer with IE8 and AR 9.5 ,I want to work IE11 with AR XI 11.0.05 . Please some suggestions? Just as information I tried disabling ActiveX filtering but no fix. Please I need help. Thank you

Thank you Pat Willener. This Microsoft solution really worked for IE11 (I did manually). Now I have Win 7 Pro 64-bit with IE11 and AR 11.0.5 running perfect. Thanks again to you and I am glad that I joined this forum.

Windows 7 64-bit Adobe Reader 9.3 and IE8 - Opening PDF in tab and then closing said tab causes IE8

I've been running Win7 64-bit for quite some time now and only up until a few weeksa go started to have problems with Adobe Reader continuing to ask me how I wanted to read a document and to click here to save the settings and not ask me again. The check box never worked and it would continue to ask me constantly every time I opened up a new PDF file.
I finally figured out how to get rid of the nagging dialog box but now each and every time I open up a new tab with a PDF file in it and then close the tab, IE8 crashes and tries to recover the tab. This never happened before.
What is causing this and how do I fix this? Please advise.
Upgraded to 9.3 this morning and problem remains. Tried uninstalling all traces of Adobe Reader and reinstalling but still no dice.
Problem also happens at home on a similar computer running Win 7 64-bit and running an older version of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

Try this:
Right click on the IE8 icon in the taskbar. A menu pops ups up. Right click again on "Internet Explorer". Then left click on "Run as administrator". I had a different problem with Reader and this solved the problem. The problem I had was I could not save pdf files in IE8. This solved that problem.

Adobe Reader 9.5 - IE9 32 bit Red X on certain PDF'S?

Hello all. On a particular site I use, I can access and open some PDF's, but there are some that appear to combine an FDF and PDF "flat file" on the fly, and now when I click these links, I get a red x in my window instead of the pdf. I downgraded to Adobe Reader 9.5 (windows 7, from Adobe 11) thinking that might help, but after a remove/re-install, the issue remains.
If I disable the browser helper in order to try and force Adobe to open instead of displaying the PDF in browser, I get a little placeholder image instead of the red x, but no PDF.
Here is the kicker...in IE64 bit, the pdf link opens the PDF just fine. Chrome does too. I must use 32 bit IE for the site however, so I was hoping to find a fix. I tried repairing Adobe, I tried running with no add-ons in the browser...I think I have tried all of the basic stuff listed here, but I still cannot seem to open the PDF.
I may look for a system restore point soon and see if this helps, but I figured I would ask here if anyone had an idea why 32bit would not work but 64 bit and Chrome would.

That makes no sense, as the Adobe Reader add-on is 32-bit only. I cannot view any PDFs on 64-bit browsers with the Adobe Reader plugin.
Do you have any alternate PDF viewer installed?

Invalid pointer when printing from Internet Explorer 64 bit with Adobe Reader 11.0.7

If I print a PDF file in Internet Explorer 8 or 9 64 bit with Adobe Reader 11.0.7 on a Windows 2008 R2 server with the File --> Print (or CTRL+P) option, the file won't print. It generates the error "Er is een onjuiste parameter" (Dutch version). I can print the PDF file with the Adobe Reader option. The 32 bits version of IE8 or IE9 works fine. Also the Adobe Reader versions before 11.0.7 works fine. One fix in 11.0.7 is "64 bit IE plugin - required to run IE 11 with Enhanced Protected Mode on in Win 7". Is this the reason that IE8 or IE9 64 bits doesn't work anymore with the CTRL+P option?

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmlThen, you can download the full offline Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Adobe Reader support for 64-bit Ubuntu systems

Any attempt to install any current version of Adobe Reader fails...
Usually with a "Wrong Architure - I386" message.
if you try to follow the "new" intructions for using apt-get you get the following...
sudo apt-get install acroread
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package acroread has no installation candidate
Two questions:
1.) Does Adobe have any intensions on supporting 64-bit Linux?
2.) Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the reader to work on a 64-bit system?

Adobe Reader is 32-bit only, and so is the plugin. This may change some time in the future, but for now it's 32-bit.

Outlook 2010, Windows 7, 32 bit can't launch adobe reader

I have a client with the following problem:
In windows, double click of a PDF shows... Adobe Reader X (this is a good thing)
In outlook 2010, double click of a PDF "goes to that dark place" -- actually Windows Media Player. Which is useless. There is no setting I can find to change this. Reinstalling Adobe did not fix this. Many of the similar problems I've seen are specific to 64 bit -- this one is on 32 bit.
How can I get Outlook 2010 to launch Adobe when a pdf is double-clicked on a 32 bit windows 7 computer?
(Norton 360 is the antivirus, so it's not a McAffee issue).

Hi guys, thanks for your responses.
What is this vboxnetflt for? Which modules are the essential modules for virtualbox? What I mean is: do those nice features like mouse point integration, full screen supportment etc... rely on vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp?
What I have in my configuration file is:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp)
I think vboxnetadp is used for networkiing. and vboxnetflt sounds like network filtering stuff. Can someone please confirm me? I think the problem was the sequence of upgrading. Firstly it updated the kernel and then installed the new version of virtualbox. I think if it could install the new version of virtualbox first and then the kernel, it would go without any problem, just my opinion as I said.
Let's keep tracked on this. Maybe someone will find a solution before virtualbox developers :-)
