Adobe Reader 9 cannot read text, thus can't search
Just six days ago I was able to search the text on a PDF doc. Starting today or maybe yesterday, I couldn't search the same document with those texts. And I couldn't search that same PDF document online which was where I downloaded it from and could use the search engine before. What is going on??? The Adobe Reader program is only seeing the doc as a picture. But I can search other documents that have highlightable text. HELP! I want to fix this search engine problem! Thanks, much appreciated!
I'm absolutely positive that I could search text on the PDF before. In fact, I did a lot of searching. Now I cannot do any searches. And yes, I checked the fonts thing and there is none. I'm completely boggled about this. And I used google to find the pdf and could search the PDF while opening it under google. Now, I can't.
Any other suggestions?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.
Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance. -
I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer
I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.
Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs. -
Can I adjust the page margins in Adobe Reader like I can in Word?
I have a quilting pattern I am trying to enlarge, but I cannot find a way to adjust the left or top margins so when I want to print an 8" square, the left margin is staying at 2", no matter what I try. I thought I would be able to adjust the margin, just like in Word.
I have Windows 7If I purchase the Adobe Reader converter to a Word document I should be
able to right? Or is there an upgraded version of Adobe where I could
adjust the margins??

I need to know how to fix the Adobe reader so I can read the same PDF docs, my bank statements, etc that I have always been able to read before.
Then why was I able to read them before? I downloaded a PDF study guide that I have been using for weeks. Then all of a sudden, a couple days after I purchased rights from ADOBE to convert from text to PDF everything comes up in a different fot. It is in a draft type of font that is very light, the caps are bold and it is difficult to read. I can still read the Study Guide, though it is hard on my eyes, but my bank statements are illegible. Now please tell me if it isn't Reader, what is it? and HOW DO I FIX IT?

I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5
There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.
Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file. It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.
What is your operating system?
You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
Also, is this a local or online PDF? If online, in what browser? -

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.
