Adobe Reader 8.1.2 : can not change Printer Command

Hello all,
I encounter the following problem with Acrobat Reader 8.1.2, installed on Debian GNU/Linux, trying to print :
When I choose a printer (within the list given by a CUPS server) I can not change the Printer Command which prevents me from printing : the default printing options (-o InputSlot -o PageSize ...) are not compliant with my LPRng printing system.
Note that I was able to do it with 7.0.5 and 8.1.1 versions.
Would you please help me to resolve this problem ?
Regards,
Jean-Noel BOUVIER

Hello Jean-Noel,
The print command text box (in the Printer properties dialog) has been made read-only to avoid confusion and discrepancies with the drop-downs available to modify the options.
If you want a particular print command to be used you could try out the Custom printing option. The command typed there is remembered between different sessions of the Reader.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Neha

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

Have Adobe Reader 7.0. Can not read ?

Can not read PDF/PNG files. Also, can not download new version, ie; XI. It will download to 96% then say to close Adobe 7.0 however, Adobe 7.0 is not open. Can anyone provide help?

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Having trouble loading adobe reader, it says it can not be loaded

I am having trouble down loading adobe reader, it keeps telling me it can not be loaded. I had it on my computer but it kept giving me a screen that I had problems with the adobe reader?

I am using windows xp with #3 updates. I was trying to download adobe 9.3 and the system would not let it download. I was using adobe reader and it just stopped working. I have now removed all of adobe froom the computer and downloaded adobe 8.2 and it is now working. I just can't update it to a newer version.

I have the latest version of Adobe Reader and I still can not print adobe reader documents on my Mac Air laptop but I can print any other type of file or document?

What settings need to be changed in order to print in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful input.
My Adobe reader is the most current one that's out there per Adobe.
Something like XII or higher.
As for my Outlook, it's MS Outlook 2003, and I believe it's Express Outlook.
If I disable the Protected Mode, per your suggestion, maybe that will work.
I'll try it.
Thanks again, and if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate your
thoughts.
Thank you.

Adobe reader 11.0.07 can not access help option

I just downloaded adobe reader 11.0.07 version and I haven't signed up for the paid options, I only use this for reading
Is this why I can't access help option on adobe reader 11.0.07?
Any insight is appreciated!

Dear Pat,
Thank you for your email. My operating system is Windows XP and my default browser is google chrome.
When I click on help on Adobe Reader 11.0.07 and select "Adobe Reader XI Help". I receive an error message:
"Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the internet."
Maybe you can make sense of this!
Thanks,
Pavel

I have Adobe Reader XI but I can not read a pdf online, I must save it and then open. This never happened before.

The system attempts to download the pdf, but it is a dark grey screen. I can save this as a file and then open it using Adobe. Why two steps? I should be able to read the first one. This is extremely annoying.

Using Mac OS 10.7.2 in Photoshop updated 12.0.4 I can not change Print Preferences

I updated my Mac to OS 10.7.2 and I also updated my Adobe to 12.0.4, when I open Adobe Photoshop, open file, make changes, when I go to print, it defaults to 11 in X 8.5 in and when I click print preferance, nothing happens.. it will not allow me to change any settings.. I use an Epson 9600 Pro INk which I also have the new drivers for that printer. I can print with outher programs, like Lightroom, and from my computer as well and it will let me choose the sizes, type of paper, qualty etc... but not in Photoshop... whcih is a real bummer... any ideas... I also called the support center, and I lost my connection 7 minutes in to the call that I have been waiting for.. any help or ideas?

Change Color Handling to "Printer Manages Color" and then back to "Photoshop Manages Color", then you should be able to get into "Print Settings"

>This (making the print command line un-editable) is really bad idea.
Why? It was much worse before, since people would edit it, but it had
no effect. This is terrible interface design, and surely this is an
improvement.
> add a "expert option"-Button "Make the print command line editable"
Or an option "Give me an editable area that will be ignored". Why?
It could probably be improved so more people understand that if they
want to print with a custom command line, then they need to choose
Custom. Perhaps best of all would be keeping a custom command for each
printer, or an open ended set of commands (so, for example, two custom
commands for one printer could be stored).

I have installed adobe flash player. I can not open the file. In plugins under tools it is not showing. It shows acrobat reader being there but not flash player. Any ideas?

Flasher Player should be listed as a plugin in tools for it to work?

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:

My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

Unable to open .pdf in Firefox 3.6.8 with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Error message is "The Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

I am unable to open a PDF file in Firefox 3.6.8. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 is installed. I get the error message "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

Can not change files from "Read Only" In Windows 8.1

I am the only Administrator on my computer, there are no other accounts. Some how all my files now have the read only attribute and I can not change it. It gives me the option to change it and I do and it looks like it got rid of it; but as soon as I close
out of the properties window and go back into the read only attribute is still there.
The read only attribute doesn't even act like itself because I can still edit the files that are in the selected read only folder. But it doesn't let me change the folder group options.
None but one of these folders are customized so it is not a problem that can be resolved by the other threads I have read.
Even new files I create have the read only attribute, please help, this is really annoying.

Hi,
For this problem, please refer to the KB below to repair the problem for test firstly, If no use, please feel free let us know.

You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.
