Adobe Reader 9 keyboard shortcuts broken?

The zoom in and zoom out keyboard shortcuts (CTRL "+" and CTRL "-")that have been working since forever have now stopped working! It seems somewhat inexplicably as CTRL + NUMPAD 0 and CTRL + NUMPAD 1 now have those functions.
What is going on? What did the software designers think? Where can you customize your keyboard shortcuts to get the old, logical ones, back?
Grateful for any thoughts.

I'm quite angry, too. I used to use CTRL+1 to zoom to 100% very, very often. Now CTRL+1 zooms out and even worse, there's no new shortcut for zooming to 100%. I'm forced to switch to mouse now which costs really much time. Who came up with this stupid idea?

Command P keyboard shortcut broken

When I type "Command-P" it is now bringing up the Parental Controls preferences instead of the Print dialogue.
If I restart in "Safe" mode or in a test user account Command-P works to bring up the print dialogue, but when I reboot in my normal user mode it still brings up Parenal Controls.
This happens inall applications.
Print still works from the File menu and it still indicates that Command-P should be the keyboard shortcut.

Can you say anymore about how I would use Activity Monitor to troubleshoot this?
This doc
Using Activity Monitor
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342>
discusses using AM for monitoring memory usage, but it gives the basic idea. You are interested in two items -- the "My Processes" pop-up menu and the list of processes.
Sort them by name, as shown in the pic, then go through them one by one. You're trying to identify the process responsible for the issue. You may copy the list and paste it into a text editor. Then eliminate those whose functions you can figure out. From the pop-up menu, choose System Processes. That will give you another list; as a first approach, you can eliminate all System Processes from your list. Once you've got the list down to those you don't know and aren't system processes, if you can't find anything obvious (eg, "HotKey Server"), then it's Google time.

Adobe Reader Multimedia Shortcuts

Hello Adobe,
I have some pencast pdf files that have the multimedia windows where I can play my pencasts. I want to know what are the keyboard shortcuts for play/pause and play forward/backward

Also wenn ich *.mp4 oder *.flv-Dateien einbinde, erhalte ich einen Fehler, dass dieser Dateityp nicht unterstützt wird.
Acrobat kann beide Formate problemlos einbinden und sogar kodieren. Allerding weiß ich nicht, wie dämlich sich LaTeX anstellt. Dürfte letzten endeds auch das Problem sein - die Objekte werden als generisches Datenobjekt oder OLE Mediaobjekt in die PDF eingebunden, nicht als "ordentliches" Videoobjekt, weil die natürlich weder für MPEG noch FLV Lizenzgebühren zahlen (wollen).
Und insgesamt, gibt es nicht ein Codec-Paket, so dass ich auch die anderen Formate abspielen kann?
Um Gottes willen, lass bloß die Pfoten von irgendwelchen CoDec-Packs! Das macht nur noch mehr Schaden.
Da müsste es doch eine (universelle) Lösung geben -- ich bin doch sicher nicht der Einzige, der Video-Dateien in eine PDF-Datei einbinden will?!
Ja, klar. Die heißt eben "sauberes" MPEG4 z.B. aus MPEG-Streamclip. Aber wie gesagt, der Schwachpunkt dürfte heir eher der Umgang der Satzsoftware und ide fehlenden Lizenzen sein...

Adobe Reader Desktop Shortcut...... why?

Why do Adobe Reader updates insist on putting a shortcut on my desktop, without even asking if I want one??? Come to that, why does anyone need one anyway if all you have is reader? I never open a .pdf document by opening reader first, I just click on the document.

Some people may want one. Whether you right click and move it to the recycle bin or have to opt out of having on during the update, it'd be about the same amount of work.

Everyone doesn't work the same way. Maybe they want to open Reader and look for recent documents. Hard to say.

Clipboard Keyboard Shortcuts Broken

I'm a mac whiz, but was apparently stumped on this one. My mom's keyboard shortcuts (Apple-V, Apple-C, Apple-X) aren't working.
She can still use the pull-down menu, though. The V, X, and C keys all work on their own and Apple-S works so it's not a broken key. A restart did nothing.
So... how to proceed? Is there some way I can reset the clipboard or shortcut keys? I am not afraid of the command line if necessary...

re: "My mom's keyboard shortcuts (Apple-V, Apple-C, Apple-X) aren't working."
What OS is your mother using? Exactly what keyboard shortcuts is she trying to accomplish? These may be different for her operating system than with your Panther OS.

Problems with all versions of Adobe Reader Changing shortcuts upon install.

I am using windows 7 and attempting to install Adobe Reader 9.3.4. When I do this all of my shortcut icons change to Adobe Reader icons. Also, the destination links in the shortcuts have NOT changed but when I click on something such as the calculator it will try to open Adobe Reader. The shortcuts return to normal when Adobe Reader is uninstalled. I have installed several older versions of Adobe Reader and the same thing happens. has anyone heard of this happening and if so do you happen to know of a solution?

There was some discussion here around this issue.Please refer to the following post:

Notification Center keyboard shortcut broken

The keyboard shortcut "Show Notification Center" you can set under System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Mission Control stopped working for me after a restart.
I tried resetting to defaults, changing the short cut and finally exiting all running apps and processes - nothing seems to bring back the short cut.
Does anybody know how to debug this or a plist where I can manually edit this?

Resetting PRAM did not fix the problem for me, either.
I worked around it locally by using the MacOS Automator to create a new Workflow. The workflow had a single "Run Applescript" action in it where the applescript is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Notification Center"
            click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1
        end tell
    end tell
end run
Then I saved the workflow and used BetterTouchTool (http://www.boastr.de/) to bind a "Start Automator Workflow" trigger to a a keyboard shortcut.

Adobe Bridge keyboard shortcuts

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS0DF94317-81FF-4202-8505-2E9E58036F5Ca .html

An improvement absolutely necessary is a shortcut for entering NEW KEYWORDS in the KEYWORDS PANEL.
I have to enter hundreds of keywords, and it is shocking to have to go to mouse for everyone of them.

Are keyboard shortcuts broken on CFB3 on OSX for anyone else?

Hitting command+t displays the shortcut list but hitting a key does not fire off the shortcut. Clicking the shortcut works but not via the keyboard.

I just figured out if I let the shortcut display window show up then I can't use the keyboard to select the value I want. If I hit cmd+t -> d in quick succession then the shortcut works.

Ctrl-Shift Keyboard Shortcuts Broken

Hello
I switch layout with Ctrl+Shift. And have a little trouble. When i try:
Reopen recent tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+T)
Select previous tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+Tab)
I get just new tab in the first case, and select next tab in the second. This changes the layout. So, performs the action, as if the Shift key not pressed.
Looking for a solution I found that this is common problem. Not only for browsers... ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5592 … -linux-kde )
I found similar topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1352640 and read this --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg . But solution don't found.
Someone can help? I don't want change to Alt+Shift switch layout.
P.S. I using Awesome WM

May be it is too late, but this topic is at top of google...any way
here is russian link:
http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/44336/
in short, you must get sources of xserver by using abs, save there patch file from article, modify PKGBUILD to apply this patch.
Reason is, xserver switches keyboard "onkeypress" while it should do "onkeyrelease". This bug is mentioned in 2006 and not fixed since that because it will lead to change xserver's specs.
P.S. patch in article is for 1.12.xx, but it worked with 1.16.1 for me.

Spotlight keyboard shortcut broken after installing 10.10.1

Command-Space is no longer bringing up Spotlight. I've tried restoring default keyboard settings, disabling/enabling Spotlight, rebooting my machine, no luck.
Anyone know a fix?

For the first time, I needed to do start in Safe Mode on this exact iMac and came across your unanswered question when trying to figure it out.
You cannot restart into Safe Mode, you need to shut down. Hold shift right after you hear the chime. There's also a command line option here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
It took an uncomfortably long time and I cursed myself for not running a current backup, but let's hope it solves my impossible to solve wake from sleep problem.

Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
Thanks

You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts. Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

Muse Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

Can I get access to the source file for the Adobe Muse Keyboard Shortcuts, English, Windows (updated April 2013)? I am assuming that it is an InDesign file. My problem is: The type is set so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without usingt a magnifying glass. I wish to revise the layout of the 2 sheets and set the type in 14 pt. type so that I can see the shortcuts with a glance. Help please. Also, there is a typo in the headline, Shortcuts, that runs vertically on the left side of the page.
Thank you.

Cannot Open Adobe Reader 9

I have spent the better part of three days trying to follow the threads to fix my problem. Most of the suggestions invlove opening Reader 9 and do this and that. I am using Windows Vista ( which I detest) and I cannot even open Reader 9. I get a window that says "Windows has detected an internal error." No further instructions, no error number, no nothing.
I have also gone to the Adobe Support site for Reader. Even tho I registered my application, I did not locate my PW. ID is my e-mail but when I go to the "forgot PW" page, and enter my ID, which it says is Step One, the page just keeps saying ID and PW do not match, which is WHY I am at THAT page to begin witrh. This is very frustrating. I am at that proverbial "Catch 22" situation and am pulling my hair out.
I cannot open any e-mail attachment that is sent in Adobe ( which 95% of them are), cannot begin to fix the problem because I cannot open Reader 9 and cannot contact tech support because they do not allow me to retrieve my PW. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Denise,
I am having the same exact problem as you are having. I am also using Windows Vista and am having problems with Adobe Reader 9.1 The download doesn't seem to fully complete. I also am an administrator and logged in as such on this computer. I had another user account that I created for others that might use this computer. I logged into that user account yesterday and I received notifications that updates were available for Adobe, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. I installed all the updates and got the problem with Adobe Reader. Could the problem have been created by me installing the update for Adobe Reader through the user account? Adobe Reader worked on the user account but then I logged off and logged into my main account (administrator account) and there was a problem with Adobe. I tried to uninstall Adobe Reader (through the control panel) and was unsuccessful (I figured I can uninstall it and then reinstall). I then just deleted the user account and arrived to where I am right now.
I click on Adobe Reader's shortcut on my desktop and get a popup stating:
"An internal error occurred."
Then I close the popup and get the famous green bar from hell that is associated with Vista stating:
"Adobe Reader 9.1 has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." blah blah blah
I then click to close that window....windows returns a solution...to go to Adobe Incorporated....etc. and sends me to download Adobe Reader 9.1....I proceed to download
First I get a popup window during the installation process stating:
"Welcome to Setup for Adobe Reader 9.1 Adobe Reader 9.1 Setup is preparing to guide you through the program setup process. Please wait. Computing space requirements."
Then the process gets interrupted with this popup:
"Setup Completed Setup was interrupted before Adobe Reader 9.1 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit setup."
Along with the previous window I also get an error message stating the following:
"Adobe Reader 9.1 Installer Information Error 1606. Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."
There is an Adobe Reader 9 Installer file on my desktop which includes the setup files. I open the setup file to complete the installation process and I get the same error messages.
I believe this problem has to do with the registry.
This is very frustrating. CAN ANYONE WITH INFORMATION HELP PLEAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Hello. I have had the exact same problem as the person above, with the exact same crash timestamps and IDs. Using the msi worked for me aswell but I was left with an issue. If I install the product via msi instead of exe, everytime I delete one of adobe reader's shortcuts, I will get a "please wait while windows configures acrobat" every time I launch adobe reader. At the end of this process the shortcuts are put back in my programs and desktop, basically adobe insists on keeping them there and if I dare to remove them it detects the change, launches windows installer, and puts them back.
As I understand there are certain command line parameters for the MSI that will either prevent instalation of shortcuts altogether, or stop adobe from "regenerating" itself everytime I delete them. How can I do that?
