Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (linux) hang at startup

We have a number of users who have reported hangs when trying to start Adobe Reader on our CentOS 4.5 linux workstations (CentOS 4.5 is a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.5 rebuild). When this occurs, the X-server is locked for a minimum of 10 seconds, sometimes longer, until the Reader window finally comes up.
I was able to duplicate this behavior on my desktop workstation; of course, once I tried to run the program through strace I no longer saw this behavior.
Have any other users here seen this behavior? Any idea what is causing it, or is there a workaround to mitigate the problem?
John Perkins

I was finally able to get an strace of a delayed acroread startup with the Xming xserver (displaying on Windows). I can't use XManager or Exceed (or similar products) when trying to display on a linux desktop.
The strace output I've collected suggests Adobe Reader is trying to
stat() all the font files available at startup time. We run with an AFS filesystem here, and some fonts are in AFS...so those fonts get cached on local disk when Adobe Reader first runs, and stat()'ing the font files goes much faster the next time around.
It may be necessary for us to move these font files to the local disk at some point to improve performance with Adobe Reader, and maybe with other apps.
Some detail as to how fonts are found could be helpful...does Reader try to generate a list of paths from the X-server somehow? Or does it find font paths some other way?

HELP! adobe reader XI (11.0.09) hangs on installation (running scripts package)

adobe reader XI (11.0.09) hangs on installation (running scripts package). I cannot shut my computer down, because the installer won't let it and says "interrupting the install will damage the computer) I just wanted to update from 11.0.07 but it said contents had been changed so I had to reinstall adobe reader. So I am trying but it has been hours.

Hi andrea02,
Are you still facing this issue?
You may try uninstall previous installation copy using Adobe Acrobat/Reader cleaner tool:: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Adobe Reader 9.3 for Linux: Segmentation Fault in PPKLite.api

Adobe Reader 9.3 cannot open signed pdf files on our system (64-bit Fedora 10 Linux, with 32-bit compatibility libraries installed). It crashes with a segmentation fault any time one tries to open the following file:
http://www.utoronto.ca/ic/software/forms/matlab_concurrent_renewal2010.pdf
Running with ACRODEBUG=1 and ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 results in a zero-length crash log file and the only debug messages shown are
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/Annots.api ... [dlopen success for Annots.api, handle = 0xc4548f8]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/AcroForm.api ... [dlopen success for AcroForm.api, handle = 0xd0c3a50]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/DigSig.api ... [dlopen success for DigSig.api, handle = 0xd0dcc68]

Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api ... [dlopen success for PPKLite.api, handle = 0xd7b1ff0]
If I run the gdb debugger on /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread, it shows the segmentation fault occurring inside /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api (but since the file is stripped, all it shows is the binary offset of the segfault). I do have a coredump, though.
If I remove the PPKLite.api file (or rename it to PPKLite.api.hide -- note that chmod -x does not work, nor does renaming it to something else that still ends in .api, unlike some workarounds I've seen on the web for similar problems in earlier versions of Adobe Reader), then Adobe Reader can open the file without crashing, except that without PPKLite it cannot validate its signature and so it displays the message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document" -- which I assume is because the signature validation failed due to the absence of PPKLite so it things the document has been altered even though it hasn't been.
So this removing or renaming of PPKLite.api works around the problem of the crash, at the expense of getting this misleading warning message.
However, obviously there is a problem inside PPKLite.api that needs to be fixed....

I'm seeing what must be the same issue: acroread foo.pdf exits almost instantly without any message, but with status 1.
This is: AdobeReader_enu-9.3.1-1.i486 on a Fedora 12 box, AMD Phenom II 945.
If I set ACRODEBUG=1 and ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 and ulimit -c unlimited, and rename PPKLite.api, *then* I get a nonzero crashlog. Which is:

Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37 hangs and freezes opening PDF documents

When opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37, it hangs and freezes for a few minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix or work around?
We have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit operating systems. It takes a moment for the Adobe Reader to unfreeze itself but will eventually.
Thanks!

Found a fix for my problem. It wasn't the Protected Mode issue after all. The fix is to disable In Product Messaging.
Here is the fix for the problem. Now maybe Adobe can address this issue in the future release or patch/update.
Try it on yours and see if it doesn't fix it also.
The following below link provides the information I am about to share with you.
But open Adobe Acrobat Reader without opening a PDF file. So just open Adobe Reader application by itself.
1. Click on EDIT
2. Click on PREFERENCES
3. Click on GENERAL Category
4. UNCHECK "Show me messages when I launch Reader"
5. CHECK "Don't show messages while viewing a document"
This should fix your problem as it fixed mine. See the link below for more information. Looks like I will be doing a regedit script for our network users to get rid of this problem. UGGGHHH!!!!!!
Hope this helps!

Is it normal for Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to hang?

As of a few minutes ago I noticed that within Task Manger it said that my Adobe reader was running. Although none of the windows I had open contained anything running off Adobe. Even when I closed my browser window completely (Firefox 6.0) they still remained. It wasn't until I restarted my computer that they no longer displayed. I did find out what caused Adobe to open in the first place, it was a PDF within the Primavera online highschool course player. However, upon closing the window this time Adobe disapeared as it should. Is it normal for Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to sometimes hang even if all browsing history & other private data is immediatly removed upon closing?

That is normal. It stays active in case you open another PDF. If it didn't, you'd end up waiting for the plug-in to start up for every PDF you open.

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06 hangs

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06 now hangs, was working fine yesterday.
What is corrective action?
Also, if I unstall and reinstall Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06, will I lose all of my existing Adobe files on my desk top?
Vern

HI Pat,
Sorry, I spoke too quick regarding the issue being solved. I attempted to open a file and as usual it hangs and I am unable to do anything with it
other than shut down the computer because it does not respond period. So, I uninstalled the program and attempted to reinstall it to no avail.
After downloading the the program (AdbeRdrUpd 11.001.msp) and tried to open it. The following error message appears:
Windows Installer: “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade path may upgrade a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.” Therefore, the program is not installed on the computer.
This is very frustrating and I certainly would appreciate a solution with your help.
Kindest regards,
Vern

Landscape Printing in adobe reader in Red hat linux

Hello Friends
I want Some help. I am using Red hat Linux on server and adobe Acrobat reader . when click on print option and set the option to landscape the output printout came in potrait and not landscape. Can any body please tell me what is the problem!

I have the same problem in openSUSE 11.1 64bit, except that this is with only one printer. If the page is portrait it prints in landscape, and if it is landscape it prints portrait, but across one end of the paper. Will not print correctly whatever I try. Changing the Autorotate or Portrait/Landscape settings has no effect.
The printer is an HP Business Inkjet 2200 which works fine with Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on SUSE 11.1 & 11.2 32bit. I've tried changing the printer drivers, etc but no fix. I can print to my other printer (HP LaserJet 2300) with no problems. Both printers are on a network with internal JetDirect cards. I have 2 desktops and a laptop ion the network, and all 3 are using the same hplip-cups drivers.
The workaround I am using is to print from Adobe Reader to a file, and then print the resulting Postscript file using Ghostscript. This works fine and keeps any settings I put in in Adobe Reader, such as multiple pages per sheet.

Javascript Adobe Reader problem in some linux distributions

Adobe Reader doesn't execute initial javascript code of 3D scene in pdf document. With friends we've tested several linux distributions, namely CentOS, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Mandriva, OpenSUSE. Also several Adobe Reader versions like 9.4.6 or 9.1. No luck. For some reason though, it works fine in Fedora (with exactly the same Adobe Reader). Here is an example pdf for test: http://www.2shared.com/document/LIbyWm_ … _dice.html . Just open the mysterious_dice.pdf and you should see a rotating dice. If you dont, javascript wasn't executed properly (it should be easy to check in Windows 7/XP or Fedora).
We thought that something is wrong in Reader settings (like disabled javascript), but javascript was always allowed. Then that maybe it is linux Adobe Reader bug, but again, why does it work in Fedora? So maybe some package(s) or something.
Another example is the Asymptote application, which uses javascript at the beginning for some scene settings (lights, camera position, etc) and especially with orthographic projection this problem shows up. More about this here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asympto … ic/4021157.
Any idea what might be wrong with this? I will just add that javascript later on works, only the initial code is ignored. Thanks for any suggestion.

Interesting, just to be sure, was your dice spinning around? If it was, then it really works. My friend with Arch i686 just tried it with Adobe Reader 9.4.2, same settings and the dice was static. He provided also screenshot to show how it looks on his system together with some info:

Adobe Reader for Mac 9.2 hangs up when closing windows

I started having this problem a few weeks ago: Adobe Reader 9.2 for Mac - with my MacBook (May 2006 - intel core duo) running Leopard 10.5.8 when I have 1 or more Adobe Reader "pdf" documents open and I wish to close one by either cmd-w or by clicking on the red close button top left; most if not all of the time the document goes black and the spinning ball of death appears and then either the program shuts down or I have to do a force quit or just quit.
This never happened before-- I could always have from 1 to 20 pdf files open and just cmd-w the one or ones that I wanted to close and no problem they closed and the program was fine.
Is this something new or ??? A bug or ???
Thanks for any comments. I did REINSTALL Adobe 9.2 but same problem. I've done restarts and more. This is the first time I've used this forum so not sure how I will get notified - do I have to recheck here or will I get a notice to my eMail address??
Thanks and regards,
Steve on Sunday 13 December 2009

If you subscribed you will get a new email for every post here. Otherwise you have to manually check. What you are seeing is not typical. I'd try the typical troubleshooting techniques.
1) Fixing Permissions.
2) Emptying various system caches.
I'd recommend you get a copy of Applejack. It can do all that and find disk directory issues. Cost is reasonable---free.

Adobe Media Encoder CS 5.5 hangs on startup

I've been using AME CS5.5 successfully for some time now, however, this week I was given a WMV file that used the GoToMeeting.com codec for video and AME (along with every viewer I had) couldn't open it until I'd installed GoToMeeting. After which, I could view the video with irfanview and windows media player, but AME would still not open it. So, I installed MS Expression Encoder 4 which COULD open it, and I encoded it with a standard VC-1 codec. I was expecting to then be able to open AME and encode it into FLV as I usually do. However, when I did that I found the program would no longer open. The splash image shows as it loads modules, but when it hits the quicktime one, it hangs. I've made a quick vidcap of the issue here:
http://screencast.com/t/cc8b6a7nJu
I rushed a little in the vidcap, but I've let it sit for up to an hour, and still got nothing.
I've tried deleting the AppData folder completely (C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5) and got nothing and the files that are then contain no useful information.
Is it possible that MSEE somehow corrupted the ImporterQuicktime.pm module (seems pretty unlikely to me)? Couldn't have been GoToMeeting because I was able to start AME without any problems after I'd installed that.
My system is Windows 7 and I'm using CS5.5 (Design Premium)
Thanks!

HI
Please try this:
Delete everything in the following folders.
I see you did this for the first one.
See if deleting the other ones solves this issue.
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files
AME doesn't have uninstaller. Since Design Premium installed it, the only way to uninstall it is to uninstall the entire suite.
I suspect one of these other applications you installed or modified Quicktime (which we do use) and in turn this is causing a problem for AME. You might also want to uninstall/reinstall Quicktime player again on your system and see if that solves this issue.

Adobe reader hangs forever on save

I downloaded following form:
http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/downloads/itr/ITR2_Version1.0.pdf
After filling it or say even after filling one entry if I try to save the form (ctrl-s), Adobe Reader seems to hang forever.
Initially it shows lots of harddisk activity for 4-5 mins and after that harddisk activity stops but it keeps on using CPU to almost 100%. And then (after waiting for 10mins) I killed it.
The file was not modified at all even after 10mins.
I use Adobe Reader 7.0.8 (tar.gz) for Linux on FC6. Can someone confirm if same happens with 7.0.9 as I am not allowed to download/install it.
Do I have to apply any patch? Any idea when Adobe Reader 8.1 for Linux be launched?
Thanks in advance.
Amish.

Ctrl-S saves directly on same file which was opened hence obviously it wont show 'Save As' dialogue box. But it doesnt suspend for sure as otherwise it wont show lots of harddisk activity.
I even tried File-Exit or Ctrl-Q. I even tried File-Close (Ctrl-W). In both cases it asked me to Save file or not. I clicked Yes and again after lots of harddisk activity nothing happened. Harddisk activity stopped after sometime but CPU was still used continuously. Reader simply hanged with gray window.
Just now I tried same form on one FC2 machine and there too same problem occured. Waited for about 10mins.
Were you able to save with same form?
Thanks for your quick response.
Amish.

I didnt't say that our business is using Linux Desktops. I wrote, our main clientele is. And what our customers do like to use is something we cannot control...
>What difference does it make to you if Adobe releases a new version of Reader that is not supported on Linux?
a new Adobe Reader version that's supported on Linux would be nice. a dialogue between Adobe and Linux developers would be nice...
>As long as the old versions can open the files correctly, that's all that matters, no?
No, not if our staff is trained to use the newest Adobe Acrobat (trainings are usually for the newest versions) and uses that to produce forms. Now the files open correctly. But what will be in some months or years? Do people working on Linux do have to print the forms then again to fill in?
So do you recommend that we stop the process of producing electronic forms and stay with paper-fill-in forms? Is that the goal of Adobe? (maybe not so clever for your "financial viability"?!?!? ... ein schuss ins eigene bein?!?!)
>Adobe is a public company and therefore it's not going to maintain a version of its software at great cost if it's not financially viable. It's as simple as that...
So it is to be interpreted that Adobe is interested in killing Linux cause if users cannot work with let's say forms, they will have to switch to something that can do that for them...
We definitely don't want to force Windows or Mac on our clientele. So as far as I get it, we will go back to paper forms and terminate our licence agreements with Adobe and deinstall it...

In Adobe Reader 9.2 for Linux, it was possible to just drag and drop tabs, to re-order them occording to ones needs. Do I have to enable some optin to get this running in Adobe Reader 9.5.5?

Here is the Recommended Path

Check in Synaptic OR Software Centre that the 'partner' software repository is enabled.
At terminal type:
(if required) update your system
~: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <Enter>
install latest Acrobat Reader (for Ubuntu Linux), AND font packs
~: sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-fonts <Enter>
Then look for in applications menu OR under 'Dash', for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
