Adobe Reader changes windows color scheme after launching

Hi all,
We have been using heavily adobe reader. the problem we have encountered is that after launching adober reader on windows 7 pro, default color scheme changes and it is being displayed as if we are on safe mode.
We could not find a solution so far. Hope you would provide me some info in order to fix it.

Interesting! What was the color scheme prior to launch? Does this problem happen on every launch of Reader X? What if you restore the color scheme and re-launch Reader? If possible can you stick a screenshot of the issue you just described.

Adobe Reader changes Windows default printer?

Hello.
Currently our customers are complaning about the anomaly, that the default printer is sometimes changed after printing *.pdf's with Adobe Reader. I have never heard of a problem like this before and am even not able, to confirm this behaviour.
That is why I want to ask you, if you have ever heared of something similar like this. Under which circumstances does Adobe Reader print on another non-default printer automatically? Btw. I don't know how to handle this problem so far.
Yours,
Moeki.

Adobe Reader changes system color depth settings to 256 colors

I am writing here for a friend who has a Windows 7 system and Adobe Reader in version 9.4
Each time he opens Adobe Reader the system settings for color depth are changed to 256 colors, which makes PDF documents barely readable. It is possible to change the color depth back to normal in the system settings, but each restart of Adobe Reader switches the system again to 256 colors.
Does anyone here have a clue how to stop this behaviour of Adobe Reader?
My friend has tried to remove Adobe Reader and reinstall it, but the problem remains.
Since I am a Mac user my Windows abilities are very limited and I am very grateful for any help.
Thanks a lot,
macvet

Could be a hardware malfunction. Maybe you should take that MacBook to an Apple store and have it checked out.

Adobe Reader 7.1 "quits unexpectedly" after launching.

I've used Adobe Reader 7.0x with my OS 10.3.9 more or less happily for several years, but I recently downloaded Adobe Reader 7.1 (the download Adobe.com tells you to use for 10.3.x), mainly because I kept getting messages from Adobe telling me to. This seems to have been not a smart move.
I don't have Safari available right now, so I used Firefox (making sure that the add-on options included domains I needed, which Adobe.com tells you to do if you use Firefox for the download).
The installation seemed successful and I moved Adobe 7.1 to my Applications folder. However, if I click on a PDF file, Adobe Reader opens and opens the PDF doc, but after a few seconds Adobe closes and I get the message, "The Application Adobe Reader has unexpectedly quit. Do you want to send a report to Apple?" (No.)
I've tried downloading it again and downloading Adobe Reader 6, but nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need Adobe Reader!

Another idea would be to start the computer from the OS X installer disc* and from
the Installer's menu bar, choose from a drop down menu, Disk Utility. And choose
to run the choice, "repair disk." This is not a permissions repair. This may find a
few problems in your system or on the hard disk drive itself; and try to repair them.
How full is the hard drive, in your computer? If the system is acting up, there is a cause.
A basic permissions repair is like a weekly or monthly thing; varies with use and what is
being done with the computer. If the drive is way full, the Mac will start acting up. And
system problems could result; and eventually hard disk drive failure. It needs free space
in the drive for the applications and system to function. (Activity Monitor in utility folder
could tell you several things; so can a single-click on the Mac HD icon and Get Info.)
If your computer has been running several years and never had an archive and install
or an all new system installed from scratch, maybe those steps are overdue. The
process can be approached from several different directions; to include saving your
entire computer hard disk drive's contents as a clone, (bootable volume) on an
external enclosed hard disk drive. Then use the booted Disk Utility from the system
installer disc (machine booted from installer disc, chosing DiskUtility and using the
different tools in there to zero-data or low-level reformat and then format as HFS+;
then bring back the cloned system from the external hard disk drive, to the Mac.
Not that I recommend doing this right now, since there may be an easier way to
get the computer to see and use a download of Acrobat Reader. But, if you have
not done anything in the way of maintenance and so forth, you could save all your
own files off the computer to an external drive (and not clone) or put them on CDR
or DVDR media, and just wipe the computer's internal HDD. Having to reinstall all
the bits and the software sets you had, and upgrade the system is a small hassle.
That's why it is easier to learn how to make a clone, and try it. You never erase
the computer's drive content until you have a tested-good bootable clone of it first.
If you do think about cloning a hard disk drive, you could read about some of it
here; which is also where the Carbon Copy Cloner can be downloaded from:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html These things can save you from a
tech visit; at least until a hard disk drive goes bad (wears out) and even so, if
you make a backup of the computer's drive, you will have a bootable copy, too.
There also are some third party disk repair utilities for Mac (for an OSX version)
which could check and repair, and some will also defragment a hard disk drive;
I prefer to make a clone to my FireWire external hard disk drive, and use a free
or donationware clone software, Carbon Copy Cloner, a download and easily found;
and make a clone of my complete computer's drive contents, then do the drive
repairs with Disk Utility booting the Mac; then use CCC to move my clone back.
(*In order to start from a installer/boot disc, you have to hold C key down on start
with the disc in the optical drive tray/slot; or have the disc in place & then choose
from Startup Disk in the System Preference panel and have the machine boot from
the system install disc instead of its hard disk drive system. Click to highlight it.)

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0
Vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour acceder à ce dossier
(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:
Reader 11.0
L'acces à ce dossier vous a été refusé. Pour acceder à ce dossier vous
devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this
file you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or
users" which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John
Willis([email protected]"), "Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur),
"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab 'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme" all have "Controle Totale"
, "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution" and "Administrateyr
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser"
Principal for "Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs) and "Tout le monde
(everybody)
on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is
"Select a user but nothing else.

Change Windows colors in registry

Hi
Changing Windows colors in registry neither works here
HKCU/Control Panel/Colors
nor here
HKCU/Control Panel/Desktop/Colors
That means for example, that you can change the ActiveBorder color in the usual color dialog box: The registry value does not change in both of the above registry places.
Or
You can change the ActiveBorder color directly in the registry in both of the above registry places: The Windows ActiveBorder color does not change, even after a reboot.
Obviously the color is saved in a different registry-path.
Where exactly the Windows colors are saved in the registry, when you change them manually?

Windows7 was the last OS to feature full "Advanced Appearance" dialog. For Windows8, developers aggregated these
controls, providing simplified interface with magnification and themes selection. Sadly, this deferred expert users from genuinely customizing system's appearance. I am unsure
about current development stage, but there is hope that upcoming OS will have these
Advanced Settings incorporated into *.themes files; allowing greater customization power than pre-Win7 and enabling
users to create and share their own system Theme Packs (including backgrounds, screensavers, colors, metrics and their dynamics). If we are lucky, release of application and/or metro-app to facilitate creation, editing and management of Theme Packs should
be in order too.
At present (Windows10
TechPreview) we only have Control Panel page 'Display', providing multi-screen magnification control and some text formatting.
To manually customize colors (and appearance) in Win8, Win8.1 &
TechPreview, refer to article:

Have to agree with Noel: after Bill Gates left, Microsoft was pulled towards sales and monetization. (might be one of those
things transcending Cause&Consequence-Relationship, though). Basic research of company's history would reveal some failed/suspended ideologically ambitious
and technologically progressive projects from 20th century - wish they renew some of those.
With general folks mass-entering digital sphere, last decade had a few good years for social media and
googly entertainment; - for serious IT? -not
so much. At the same time, Intel signed some dubious licenses with Apple, effectively preventing them
from developing PC graphic drivers for PowerVR-sgx5 chips. What later on, combined with Metro resolution limitations and UAC enforcement, was very convenient for MS Surfaces' sales. Thankfully,
now Bill Gates is back and Microsoft has "always so good" future goals, again.

Adobe Reader X Locking Up or Not Launching

Windows Vista® Home Premium with Service Pack 2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00 GHz.
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
Over the past several months, Adobe Reader X has been locking up after openning a .pdf file. The file opens, fully visable as normal, but locks up - "Not Responding" - when I take any action (page down, try to print, etc.). I uninstalled and downloaded a number of times as the first fix attempt and encountered the following. (1) When selecting a .pdf file to open, the Adobe Reader title page opens, but then immediately locks up. (2) When selecting via the shortcut or Start Menu/All Programs/Adobe Reader, the program does not launch and the following error displays: Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server. I have enjoyed the use of Adobe Reader since 2007 and find this frustrating and disappointing. Please advise.

The latest download for Windows Vista is 10.1.4; update it using Help | Check for Updates, or download the update from Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Windows : Adobe Reader 10.1.9 update - All languages
To apply the registry script:
download protected10.zip and save it to disk (e.g. your Downloads folder)
using Windows Explorer, double-click on the downloaded file; it should open and reveal protected10.reg
double-click on the protected10.reg file to execute it

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone cannot open older PDF versions?

I've found that Adobe Reader for Windows Phone displays the following error when I try to open certain PDF documents: "There was an error opening the document".
After doing some limited testing I found that it can successfully open PDF documents which were saved as "PDF version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)", but the error appears when it tries to open documents saved as the older format "PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)". (I am checking the filetype version by opening the documents in Adobe Reader X on my PC and looking at the document properties).
My phone is a HTC 7 Mozart running Windows Phone 7.5. I noticed the problem when I was using the SkyDrive app to try and look at some PDF files I have saved in SkyDrive. SkyDrive downloads the file and then passes it to the Adobe Reader app to view. It works when I look at a newer version 1.5 PDF but not the older v1.3 type. Unfortunately my HP Photosmart 5510 scanner outputs scans as PDF files and only in the older file version.
I've tried reinstalling the SkyDrive app and the Adobe Reader app on my phone. (The Adobe Reader app is version 10.1.1, build 20120919).
Is this a known limitation, or is this a bug?
If this is a limitation that won't be fixed - is there an easy way I can convert my files to the newer file type? (Adobe Reader X on my PC doesn't seem to offer a way to convert existing files)
Thanks!

Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

Hi all,
We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap. Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet. When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color. I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel. Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

This did not resolve my issue, it actually made things worse. I did what

internet to respond back to you and my computer was not able to reach the

to re install windows. Contacted Asus from another computer and they were
not able to help me reinstall windows They had asked me to ship my computer
back to them, due to them not being able to resolve the issue and help me
reinstall windows. I luckily had a backup on my external hard drive and was
able to reinstall windows 8. Spent over an hour and half trying to fix
that. Here I am still not able to install adobe reader. I was very unhappy
with what I was told to do and it gave me this issue.

Is there any way to change the color scheme in a document in Pages?

I have come from a PC using Publisher for a weekly newsletter and am trying to use Pages to accomplish the same thing. i want to change the color scheme from week to week and have not found a way to accomplish this.
I am currently using Word for Mac for this, but I would like to move over to Pages. I'm playing with it some, but can't seem to find a way to change the color of the publication from week to week. To change to another template all together would cause me to have to reinvent the wheel each and every week, and I'm not willing to do that.
Adobe Illustrator is an option, but it looks mighty complicated to set it up... And I've balked at the price tag.
Any suggestions?

Pages does not have Themes like Word.
There might be other ways to achieve what you want by swapping master objects and changing colors of Styles. A bit more work but not horrendously more.
You can name color swatches in the Color Picker so you could set up a set of colors there then update styles and objects systematically using those swatches.
Illustrator would be an extremely poor choice for a Newsletter.
Have a look at the new Swift Publisher 3 in the App Store, currently 30% off. They have added some very good tools that have brought it into a much more Pro usable form. Including many key features that Pages lacks.

Adobe reader 10 and 11 crashes after 3-5 sec.

adobe reader 10 and 11 crashes after 3-5 sec. it newer gets fully opened, it just closes. the problem is all my pdf files on my computer. and they work fine on my other labtop. tryed to repair, remove, install many times

Can you try this next: navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (if you have Reader XI installed), or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (Reader XI on 64-bit Windows), and double-click on Eula.exe, then accept the license agreement.
Does that fix the problem?

How do i change iphone color scheme?

Does anyone know how to change the color scheme for the icons on the iphone? I would love to get rid of the awful green and blue colors on ios7. The new release is awesome, but there should be a different color palette? Apple has discovered the ugliest green I have ever seen. Then they found a way to make it stand out.
Any ideas??

You can't change the color scheme for the app icons. You can put different wallpaper and it changes some f the colors.

CLAF - How to just change the color-scheme of default laf of Oracle EBiz

How to change the color scheme of the default oracle ebusiness suites laf?
When we tried the CLAF UI, there is no option to extend the oracle-desktop.xss.
It gives only the base-desktop (which is different from the default Oracle Ebusiness laf).
Have anyone done this ?
Any suggestions/help is appreciated..?

the default LAF is Browser one and the OA personalization guide tells what we can't extend it.
It reads so stupid what i was not able to believe it.. But seems true.
When you need to make a simple modification and keeping the look and feel, you can't.
I changed only one icon but you can't give blaf (even if you modify the extends property in the look and feel metadata.xml
Had you try to copy all blafs styles in your BLAF ? (that could be a workaround even if is it not upgradable ?)
Or, open SR ?
Anyway, I'm interesting by an answer too.
Regards
