Adobe Reader 8.1.2/8.1.3 update removes system files
Hello,
We have been experiencing in a relatively big company some problems related to the recent updates of Adobe Reader (at least since July 2008 I would say): it seems like the update is removing on some computers every file related to Visual C++ 8 Redistribuables. (mfc80.dll, msvcr80.dll...)
That leads to other programs (namely SAP Logon) to fail loading at all...
The current solution we have is to use a file called vcredist_x86.exe to reinstall these missing files, but has someone else already observed such problems ?
Hi,
I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
Any further ideas at all?
Mark

I have Adobe reader installed. However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?
That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission? -
how can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?
As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

Does Adobe Reader version 10 supports IPC-1752-1 v1.1 pdf file?
Does Adobe Reader version 10 supports IPC-1752-1 v1.1 pdf file?
I solved the problem. I used Internet Explorer, 64-bit. If I use Internet Explorer 32-bit the PDF-file displays in browser. If I use Internet Explorer 64-bit Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser.

Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Hi lawalton,
Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.
Best,

Hi All, Can I access Adobe reader internal variables in my pdf? for example location, file size, creator etc. I want to create a hyperlink in my pdf $Location/another.pdf?
Thanks Gilad.
let me rephrase my requirement. I have a group of pdf files where one pdf has hyperlinks to the other pdfs
parent.pdf
-- child1.pdf
-- child2.pdf
when I click on the child hyperlink I want the child.pdf to be displayed in another window/reader
If I have the hyperlink as file:./child1.pdf it does not work. It needs a complete path.
So when I create this file in MSWord first, Can I artificially create a placeholder for the directory and append the child.pdf?
suppose the properties say Location = /tmp/pdfs/
can I have in the hyperlink something like file:/$Location/child.pdf and when reader is used it substitutes the url
so I get file:/tmp/pdfs/child.pdf
Hope I explained this.
thanks

OK, let me have a very simple requirement. Can I create a pdf and when I open it
there is one line that says - This File is in xxx directory.
where xxx is the directory name where the file is. If I have the file in /tmp then it should say This file is in /tmp directory
and if I copy it to /other then open it, it should say This file is in /other directory. -
I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.
When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank. When I try to Close (by clicking X) the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)Please don't post the same question multiple times!

Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update
Hello,
My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!You can try running cleaner on your machine

and then again install latest Reader from

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files
Hi,
I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
Setup
Server OS:
Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
Other software:
Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
Symantec Antivirus 10.1
Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
The installation is clean (1 week old).
Problem description:
When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
Work-arounds tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
Turn DEP off
Solution:
Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
Best regards from Denmark!Hi,

How can i save adobe reader file from my gmail into my adobe reader application. or is there any other way i can save it into my phone so I'm able to open in any situation not just from my gmail???
Long hold on the document in mail and it should give you the open in... option, select adobe reader and the file is now saved locally for viewing even while offline.

Not sure if this question is even posted anywhere. Don't know what to do next?
Hi Angelete,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will try to get this issue resolved.
Please follow the below steps :-
Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab, and select Show Processes From All Users.
Select any Adobe Reader process, and click End Process.
Repeat for all additional Adobe Reader processes.
Restart Windows & try to view the PDF's.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Updated Adobe Reader to 11.x, now it does not recognize pdf files
Ok. I don't know how to explain this so I'll do my best. Please let me know if you need more information.
I updated my Adobe Reader to X and noticed that all of the sudden any files that were sent to me via e-mail would not open up. I use Outlook Express to access my gmail account because we have multiple accounts that we use and I haven't figured out how to do that with Outlook! Anyway, this is always the response I would get. It would ask me if I want to open this file. It would give the name.pdf and the type is AcroExch.Document. If I click open, I get the following warning: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.
Now if I go to save the file and I just saved it to my desktop, I can open it that way. I don't really want to always have to save files to my desktop or whatever just to open then and see what they are about. I do know that earlier I was having the same issue on my desktop- that it wouldn't recognize the pdf file, but I figured out how to make that association. So I'm wondering how to do this on e-mail.
I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, which I guess now is 11. What else should I do?
Thanks in advance!
JenniferOk sorry I've taken so long to respond. The reply button wouldn't pop up for me to reply!
There was never a dialog box asking for me to select the program from installed programs when I open the pdf from outlook express. But when I opened a pdf from my desktop it asked that question and I had it "always use this program to open this type of file." So I assumed that it was would work when opening from outlook express. But it doesn't.
I've tried unclicking the protected mode button under the preferences general section. And finally I'm not sure how to post screenshots of the attachment thumbnail and dialog. I'm looking all over my keyboard for a button to push I don't have a clue as to what to do! I do have a print Scr button but when I click on it nothing happens. I've tried holding down the shift key and the button and the alt key and print scr button but nothing happens.
Could it be that somehow it's not recognizing ARCO.EXCH.DOCUMENT as that's what it thinks the type of document is?
I've already created an association for pdf files and it'll open them on my desktop, just not in outlook express.
