Adobe Reader 9.2- makes documents black- cannot view the PDF's content

Hi all
Hoping someone else has seen this very wierd issue.
I have a Terminal Server running Server 2003 SP1. (inherited)
The End Users were experiencing issues with Reader not printing out correctly. They were previously using Reader v7.0.
I downloaded the latest version v9.2 off the Adobe website and it installed correctly.
The v9.2 installation has solved all the previous printing issues but has now created a new problem.
It is not every time but very regularly, if the users are opening PDF's on the Terminal Server, the content is blacked out and they cannot see the text.
It is like someone has taken a black marker and removed the text- SEE ATTACHED screenshots (it's like they do for Top Secret documents LOL)
I have checked that Reader has no updates available, I called Technical Support and they don't support Reader over the phone and directed me here.
I am going to re-install using the .exe off the FTP tonight but not hopeful that this will solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am successfully able to view PDF files on my Vista OS, without any black spots or any other obfuscating marks.
You should try to uninstall and then reinstall your Reader 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
If the problem persists, then you need to check any other installed software on your system, that's causing you problems because Adobe Reader's is an application to view PDF files, it does not creates any.

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.
Be well...

Adobe reader XI gives error "mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request".

I keep receiving warnings that I need to update Adobe Reader. I currently have the latest version of Adobe Reaxer X (10.1.7). When I click on "Check for Updates" I am told no updates are available.
I have tried installing Adobe Reader XI but, when I launch it, I receive an error message stating that "mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request".
I do not want to use Microsoft Outlook (or any other Mail Client). How do I install Adobe Reader XI without a default Mail Client being required?

Hi,
Do you mean Send as Attachment button under File>Save & Send>Sending Using E-mail
in Office applications, like Excel or Word?
Is this an issue that come up recently? Have you ever made any changes to your system?
If you have installed multiple e-mail programs on the same computer, please try to make Outlook the default mail client and then try again:

It's recommended to download and install

The "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon, so selecting Adobe Reader as action does not work to display the PDF.

In the Applications tab -- Content Type -- the "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon (not Adobe), so selecting Adobe Reader or preview in Firefox as action does not work to display the PDF. I can see this Applications difference because my other Firefox laptop has the Adobe icon, and I can view PDFs. Essentially, a PDF is coming in as a Word document -- and the computer tries to open it up as a Word file.
How do I get the correct PDF icon in the Applications list -- the same way it displays (and works) on my other laptop.

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 ?
I think you need to add this to the list of applications and the action to take on the type of content. This can also be managed in the about:permissions page. [[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]

When I download a .pdf file using mozilla, I cannot open that file despite having adobe reader on my desktop. I cannot save the file to open at a later time

I wished to view a .pdf file of a vehicle brochure. Mozilla found the brochure ok, but would not let me view it or save it. I ended up having to use IE to download and then view the file. How do I enable Mozilla to allow me to view .pdf files< I have Adobe Reader 9 installed on my PC (using Dell and Window 7)

I have Adobe Acrobat installed and recently updated and just downloaded Adobe Reader, which is running, and still cannot open a PDF.

Nothing happens. I get the same screen that tells me to download the computer.

You'll need to right-click, download the pdf and use File>Open from within Reader. That combination is not supported any more. Chrome broke it.

Every time I try to use Adobe Reader 10.0.1, my new tab opens, the pdf starts loading, the blue bar gets to complete, and i get an error saying "there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again"

Firefox freezes, and i have to end it in task manager. It will though immediately work in IE. Using firefox 4.0.1, and the plugins seem to be up to date as well.

Hey guys sorry I am just getting back to ya'll, but I have fixed my problem. There was a registery key missing. I had to create the registry key EXE in acrobat and set the default string value. After doing so everything started working correctly.

It seems my free adobe software was automatically updated to Adobe Reader DC, and since then I can't open PDF files within various emails from other websites - just gives me a black page which says its loading, then finally an error message saying adobe i

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.

Adobe Reader X - cannot view local PDF's fully or web PDF's at all

I have downloaded Adober Reader X onto my Windows XP IE v8 PC, yet I cannot fully open any PDF documents. On local PDF's I can see part of them, scroll up and down them, and print them though. When looking at local docs I can also see the desktop behind where the toolbars should be; no toolbars are visible.
For PDF's through IE, when I try and download the PDF I just get a black screen where the PDF should be.
I have tried uninstalling (reader and acrobat), re-installing, clearing temporary internet files, all to no avail. Any ideas as to what the problem (and solution!) might be?

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
The problem:
The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
More details from ProcMon
After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
Help is more than welcome.
Thank You

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

We need to know if any registry settings are causing this error. Please follow these instructions:
from Windows Start | Search: type regedit and hit Enter; you will see a window like this
now click on the little arrow ▹ left from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Next click the arrow ▹ beside Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Explorer, then click on User Shell Folders
all entries on the right side should start with %USERPROFILE%
If you have anything different, this may be the cause for the install failure.
Now you need to repeat the same thing for another key:
▹ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ▹ Software ▹ Microsoft ▹ Windows ▹ CurrentVersion ▹ Explorer ▹ User Shell Folders
Here all entries should start with %PUBLIC% or %ProgramData%. If you have anything different, this may also be the cause for the install failure.

Adobe Reader will not open documents. Will only open the same document regardless which document I select.

Instead of writing the exact sentences twice, how about some details?

Adobe Reader will not print documents and I have tried the work around

I cannot implement work around ! because my XP program does not offer a spot to give my printers a Share Name. So what do I do next?

What Adobe Reader version? If 10.1.2, try the patch: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-wont-print-reader-10.html
