If you need Acrobat to create PDF files, uninstall Reader and then do a repair install of Acrobat

Conflict with Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 6

I'm having an issue with a conflict between Reader 9 and Acrobat 6. PDF files open properly in Reader 9, but when I open URL's with PDF links it defaults to Acrobat 6. Reader 9 is the default program on my machine to open PDF's and I have tried to edit preferences, but it still does not work.
I have uninstalled Acrobat 6, but I really like the idea of "printing" to a PDF. If I decide to reinstall Acrobat 6 should I uninstall Reader 9 first and then reinstall it again later?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can do what you have stated as well i.e. Uninstall Reader 9 and reinstall Acrobat 6 and then Reader 9. But do make sure that while installing Reader 9, select Reader 9 as the default PDF viewing application when you are prompted.
Or, once you have installed BOTH Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 on your system, please change the following registry key to point to AcroRd32.exe (usually present at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe").
HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Hope this resolves your problem

Upgrading to Acrobat Pro XI / Adobe Reader XI and enabling user rights

My company is a little behind on software updates and I'm going to ask for Adobe Reader XI to pushed out company wide since allows the user to save a filled-in PDF form.
Right now I'm using Acrobat Pro X, and suspect I will need to upgrade as well.
My questions are:
With the new-found ability of Reader to finally be able to save a filled in form, how does this effect the "enabling user rights" scenario?
Is it needed if the entire company is using Adobe Reader XI?
I did a test in Adobe Reader XI, and sure enough, I was able to save a filled-in form...BUT, I could not digitally sign the form.
Is this where the enabling user rights is still mandatory?
Or is this because the form was designed in Acrobat Pro X?
Does Acrobat Pro XI work around this?
I know I don't need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI to continue making forms, but should I?
Thanks for your feed back, and I look forward to reading your replies

Thank you, George, for the prompt reply!
I suspected as much, but couldn't find a clear cut answer in my searches.
The tab order update alone has convinced me its worth pushing for the new Acrobat Pro XI.
The update to Adobe Reader XI will make many of our forms easier to get into the digital workflow, and I'm looking forward to getting use further away from a paper-based system

I need to know if my membership(s) with Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Forms Central and Acrobat XI products are still active? If so; when does my membership(s) due to expire?

Dear Tech or Customer Support:

Please reply back by email with full details as to my requests at your earliest availability to: [email protected]

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

Hi everyone,
I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

Windows Vista.
I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

Change the launch default back to Adobe Reader 9 (from Acrobat 6)?

I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded. Until a week ago I could launch
PDF files in a broswer without difficulty. They would launch in Adobe Reader 9. Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
"The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files. How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
Confused,
Simple Mind

Hii.
Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

Acrobat Reader XI and Acrobat 8 prof

Running windows 7 64 bit with Adobe Reader XI and on same pc Acrobat Prof. 8 is also installed.
When opening a pdf in explorer the following comes: "Cannot use Adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will not exit.
Please exit your browser and try again"
Default pdf program is adobe XI, so it is not because it try to use Acrobat 8 in the browser.

Acrobat versions before 10 and Adobe Reader on the same system was not really a supported configuration.
But I don't know if this is what causes your problem (I have never seen that error message before).
What is your IE version?

Adobe Reader Updates and Flash Plugin for Reader.

I was surprised to find out that Adobe Reader Updates and also Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without Admin Rights!!!!!
I remember on Windows XP this was not an issue. I am sure I have checked the possibility of installing Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without Admin Rights and it worked...
Now, we have some major issue...
I have prepared Adobe PDF Portfolio for some new policy for Housing Loan, and deployed it to be open from a Web Browser. As per my testing, it worked very nice, and the Business User loved it. On Windows XP, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, the user will be guided to install it, and it works very nicely.
Just before sending the announcement to all users, we realized that on Windows 7, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, then when the user clicks on the link to open the PDF Portfolio, then nothing happens. The browser window will open, and it will hang.
Then we found out that on Windows 7 we have to install the Reader Flash Plugin manually, and also, the user must have Admin Rights ...
Now, a decision has been made to cancel the work done using PDF Portfolio, and develop a simple page with links to the required documents...
Any solution for this?
How we can install the required plugin without the need for Admin Right?
Why on Windows 7, the user does not get prompts to guide him to install Adobe Reader Flash Plugin?
Tarek.

I think I can see the reason for this. The Flash Player is separated from Adobe Reader; the system component is now used. (It appears that the "browser plug-in" and "Flash plug-in for Adobe Reader" are indeed the same thing, loaded from the same system location).
Adobe are following recommended practice. It is right and proper that software is installed by the administrator. This then means that the non-administrator end user is protected from malware which attempts to change that software for bad reasons.
Nobody wants to walk round installing 1000 copies of software. Personally, I'd draw the line around 5 copies. Above that, software designed for bulk use is deployed centrally using enterprise deployment tools.
There are even more powerful reasons to do this today, as security updates should be installed almost immediately, and end users won't bother. Generally, the tools are standard, but the vendor adds support for deploying software in these standard frameworks.

Adobe Reader installation and icon

I have installed Adobe Reader 9 and almost all my program icons changed to Adobe Reader icon (the same was when I tried to install Adobe Reader 7). Why and what should I do?

What are the differences between Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 11?

We are planning on upgrading one of our servers to Adobe Reader 11 and are currently on 9. I would like to know what the differences are so that we can better prepare ourselves for this upgrade. Thanks.
