Adobe Reader/Acrobat and Screen Readers, 50 page default?

The company I work for creates large print PDF for our customers.  A lot of these documents are larger than 50 pages.  Is there a reason that the default setting for reading PDF's is set to 50 pages?  Is there a way that adobe can change this setting to a higher value?  Plus the read out loud option will not read an entire document that is larger then fifty pages. And when using a third party screen reader it will not read the entire document.  

Hi MT.Freelance
The way that "Welcome Pages" are done in Acrobat X has changed from Acrobat 9, what you are seeing looks like a bug related to these changes.
If you would like to log a bug on this issue the form for bug reports can be found here  https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=E WQQL
Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat and IE9 64bit

    We are unable to use the 64bit version of IE9 with Reader and Acrobat. It is my understanding that the 64bit version of IE9 is not compatible... is this correct?

    Adobe Reader and the browser add-on are 32-bit; it won't run on a 64-bit browser.

  • Adobe Reader & Acrobat 6~9 Group Policy ADM file (only applied once?)

    Hi folks. I created the below ADM template last month based on some of the ones I have seen elsewhere. I import the ADM file to use with Group Policy and make the necessary settings (need to uncheck "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed" to see it in GPO Editor).
    Anyway, when the user logs on it stamps them with the desired registry setting (bEnableJS value 0). Yay! But I notice that if a user re-enables JavaScript in Adobe Reader/Acrobat and then logs off and back on again (reboot or logoff/on) the registry setting does not get re-applied. All other pre-existing Group Policies get applied and doing a gpresult or rsop.msc has everything looking as though it did get applied.
    I notice that if I manually do a "gpupdate /force" to a logged on system the setting appears to be reapplied (need to reconfirm this though). Has anyone expierienced similar with their ADM templates for this? Perhaps I am missing something? Appreciate any help/advice.

    Hey, what you have described is normal behaviour for the way you have written your Custom ADM file.
    Because you are not using Proper Windows Policies, i.e. Setting them in the policy location in the registry, then once you apply a setting, it will not get over written again ever unless you made a group policy change or do a gpupdate.
    Normal group policies will get re-applied depending on the time frame set in the policy its self.

  • Enabling Usage Rights for Adobe Reader | Acrobat Tips and Tricks | Adobe TV

    This video shows you how to take a PDF document and grant rights to Adobe Reader users. Also included, the Adobe Acrobat versions needed to enable these rights.
    http://adobe.ly/xbJaYk

    This video is very helpful as it explains exactly what I want to do:  Extend Features in Adobe Reader, to allow my readers to save their changes.  However, I do not have that option in my version of Adobe X Pro 10.1.4.  Can anyone explain to me why I don't have that option, and what an alternative would be?  

  • 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

  • Adobe Reader Acrobat DC: what where they thinking??

    I made an Adobe account especially for this posting. I am not someone who complains a lot or writes all over the web about software. But for this new DC thing I make a big exception.
    I did build a new PC and after that I also went over to Adobe site to download Adobe Reader. Something was there by default called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Mmm, confusing: I don't have or want Acrobat, that's a complete other line of Adobe products. So had to search but no, turns out that for some reason the reader now also is part of the Acrobat line. Plus only DC is offered, nothing else.
    Well okay, download and install.
    First impression: looks weird, a way to big tools sidebar too. Ah well, I can disable that. Nope, the sidebar is always there.
    Interface and layout: horrible. But okay, I can learn to live with that.
    Okay, next step: disable the automatic update. Nope, can not be done, the auto update is always On.
    Well okay, lets see if I can get rid of all the "become member" and "Cloud" notifications. Nope, Adobe somehow decided to nag people to death in the Reader so they get a paid account and go into the cloud.
    I really don't know what Adobe was thinking when the made this DC thing but it's just horrible. I know the side Toolbar will have the option to be hidden constantly within a month or 3, I know I can disable the Auto update withing Windows Services, I know I can use Windows Registry tweaks to disable things, I know there is a DC Configurator Wizzard to set things.
    But it's ridicules that all that is needed to get a normal working, simple PDF Reader!!
    And that is my experience for personal use: for my work DC has even more become a completely useless tool with all the things that have to be configured before the users can use it.
    Adobe, do mention on your download page that DC is no simple PDF Reader anymore but just another way to generate money by trying to get people to get a Adobe account so they can get more features? Do mention that Adobe Reader as we know it is no more, that it has been replaced by this DC thing?
    Sorry Adobe, I uninstalled this DC thing and I am looking for a good and simple alternative for at work. With sadness I say goodbye to Adobe Reader which I used for so many years. Thank you Adobe by rewarding us all with this ... this ... DC Thing

    Hi ,
    It seems like you are not happy with the new UI for Acrobat DC.
    First of all I would like to tell you that Adobe Reader DC and Adobe Acrobat DC are two different software .
    DC is the common thing linked to both the software.The DC ,i.e Document Cloud states the ease of access of the PDF files,that you can view your PDF' from anywhere and from different gadgets such as your phone, laptop and your desktop by just logging to your account .
    If you did not find the new interface interesting ,you could fill in the following wish form and report the same to our engineers and they could work on it and see what best could be done for the users .

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat Is not Installed

    I get an error on machines on our work network that says Adobe Reader/Acrobat is not installed. However most cases it is installed on the machine and in most cases it turns out to be the 8.1.1 version of Adobe reader. So what we have noticed is that the permissions do not seem to be right with the .pdf file extention. We manually add the users, power users group to the file extention and then we grant them full control over the extention and in most cases that as well will not work. The next step would be to uninstall 8.1.1 Adobe reader and then reboot. Upon the restart we will log on and install the 8.1.2 update. Sometimes this works but then again I have noticed that the users, power users group is not in the .pdf file extention. Then we will add them in and yet the user will still have the same error message. We have fun out of ideas and the other bad scenario is that this is free software and its very difficult to get support for. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • JS: How to close Adobe reader/Acrobat?

    How to close a PDF file in Adobe reader/Acrobat using JS in Design?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is an example:
    #target indesign
    var acroScript = 'var d = app.activeDocs;\r';
    acroScript += 'for ( var i in d ) d[i].closeDoc( true );';
    var bt = new BridgeTalk;
    bt.target = "acrobat";
    bt.body = acroScript;
    bt.send();
    It closes all open documents in Acrobat without saving. However it  works only on PC and only in certain versions of InDesign and Acrobat. (I tested it at work, in InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 8 Pro, on Windows XP)
    But at home computer I have Acrobat X version 10.1.1 and bridgetalk doesn't "see" it.
    Note that closeDoc method has an optional parameter -- bNoSave -- whether to close the document without saving. If false (the default), the user is prompted to save the document if it has been modified. If true, the document is closed without prompting the user and without saving, even if the document has been modified.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat Printing Issues - Weird Fonts / Characters - all versions

    Hi everybody.
    I'm experiencing a very nasty issue with both adobe reader (last version) and acrobat.
    When I print something with text, i get only strange characters, mostly symbols.
    I cannot get out of this, I tried everything.
    Already tried
    1) print as image does not works, it's the same
    2) the box in pdf printer " print only with fonts on pc" is checked
    3) reinstalled both adobe applications
    3) reinstalled printer drivers
    4) i've installed and reinstalled those so called missing fonts but nothing
    Next step is to change PDF reader. Any help?

    unfortunately it didn't work.
    It's weird how an application (company) like this could not provide those kind of such easy fixes. I'm not expecting updates or so, but at least a troubleshooting paragraph about this specific problem.
    This problem is well known, there are plenty of pages talking about it.
    I just installed Foxit reader and printed pages were perfect. This demonstrate's Adobe Reader/Acrobat fault.

  • Adobe Reader X printer dialog switched to default Windows printer

    Tried Adobe Reader X and when I tried to print to our desktop fax printer name it just printed to my default Windows XP printer instead of going to the desktop fax printer dialog. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 then.

    We don't have that functionality in the Acrobat Family. InDesign uses the print system from Creative Suite, Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not.

  • 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.
