Document I was reading in Adobe reader closes when I restart app

Hi there,
There is is a bug in your iPad app. The scenario goes like this...
I open a document in Adobe reader and start reading
I press home to do something else
I double click home button and see that adobe reader still shows my open document and I select adobe reader to continue reading where I left off
Adobe reader starts up again, but the document closes !!! And I have to re-open it whereupon it opens up from where it closed.
Thanks,
Maz

Hi there,
I've attached a video of the error occurring. The occur occurs intermittently and I've been trying to video the error for the last day or so.
I managed to video it but the app was already minimised. I was in my mail app. At 9 seconds, I selected the Adobe app and you can see it start, and after a short instant, it closes the document I was reading by itself.
Due to the low level of light and my thinking that I wasn't going to capture this error, I didn't restart the document I was reading and that closed, but I opened another document. What I would have liked to have shown was that when I restart the original document, it continues from where it left off. I am on v 11.3.1 as you can see from the screen print.
Maybe, because the error doesn't show up all the time, it's based on some sort of time elapsing as it occurs at least every several hours and just once, then after several hours, it occurs again. Just something I noticed.
Thanks, Maz

Adobe Reader closes when print is clicked

Using Adobe Reader Version 10.1.2.45
When I open a PDF Document and either click on the Print icon or click file > Print Adobe just closes the program. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times. All other apps on my PC recognize and print fine to my default printer.
I just can't figure this one out.
All help is greatly appreciated
Jerry

There is currently a known issue with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.
You can resolve the issue temporarily by using one of the workarounds in the forum post below:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/949886?tstart=0
Most people find that workaround 2 is the one that works the best but decreases Adobe Reader security slightly. So best to re-enable Protected Mode when you aren't printing.
Adobe plans to release a fix for this issue in the future.

Adobe reader error when openning an email attachment on ipad.

I can not open Adobe documents sent via email on my iPad since upgrading the app. This is the message:
Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.

Adobe Reader crashes when opening any PDF

Hello!
I have the latest Adobe Reader installed on my parent's laptop. When we try to open ANY PDFs in it, the program crashes and displays the "Adobe Reader has stopped working...." message. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program multiple times and still can't fix the issue. My dad needs it to fill out tax forms when the time comes.

Hi raptorsama,
Is there any specific error that comes?
You might need to navigate to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader'', then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
If this does not work, then follow these standard steps as given below:
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 (Ref: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services
(Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
> Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check
You can also go for a repair option by selecting 'Repair Adobe Reader Installation' option under the Help menu.
Regards,
Anubha

Adobe Reader stalls when opening

Any idea why all of a sudden when opening Adobe Reader it stalls and it stalls ALL my other applications for a good one - two minutes? This has never happened before and I can't believe it is my iMac causing the issues.

What OS version?

Adobe reader crashes when opening, both local and from Firefox

Running Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.    Adobe 9.3 crashes Firefox when I attempt to view a downloaded pdf. When I start adobe reader from Windows "Start" it begins to start with Adobe ID screen, then stops with no other effect or error message.
Reader 9.3 worked successfully for months. Problem started after computer maintenance and cleaning up of excess files and services running in the background. I have not experienced problems with any other programs.
When the problem arose I uninstalled with Windows Add/Remove Program. Rebooted then reinstalled 9.3. Same problem.
I used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up adobe. Notice that many files and folders still exist in /Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0 , so I renamed folder to "OLD Reader 9.0"
Reinstalled 9.3 ....still did not work. Uninstalled, rebooted, then installed Reader 8.2. Still not working.
Somewhere in the process I also uninstalled Adobe Air and Acrobat.com.
What would cause Adobe Reader to not fully start, and to crash Firefox when it does try to start as a plug-in? How can I manually uninstall ALL of Adobe Reader?
Thanks for any input,
Mark

Ok, I just went to start up Reader 8.0, it failed with no event on screen. Event viewer gave me no report under Application. Under System I found a slewof these...
Thoughts?? Thank you,

Adobe reader crash when open

I haven't been able to open adobe reader on my iPad for the pass two days. Each time I attempt to open the app it crashes immediately.
is there a way to to solve this problem?
I really don't want to reinstall the app because I have a lot of files/Ebooks on it and redownloading everything back in will be a pain in my ***.
Thanks.

Try resetting your iPad. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the Apple logo, then let go. The iPad will reset itself.
The other thing you can do is to remove Reader from memory, then relaunch it: Click on the Home button. Then double-click on the Home button to see the row of apps in memory. Press and hold down on the Reader app until you see the apps "jiggle" and see red delete signs. Click on the Reader app. Click the Home button and reload Reader.

When I try to open Adobe Reader, it just opens a gray page and then closes by itself. This also applies to any pdf files I try to access; they'd all follow the same pattern: Gray page-->automatically closes after 2 to 3 seconds time. I have tried accessing the Eula.exe via C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, however, the only available button for me to click is the "Decline" button and not the "Accept" license agreement. Please help!
THanks

Much appreciated

I think you should ask in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions

After successful install, all my adobe cc docs, when open, change pointer arrow, i-beam and window to oversize. When doc closes all return to normal size. I'm on a PC. Screen res set to medium 1920x1200. Any ideas how to fix?

Ok thanks Linxup I would recommend posting in the respective forums for each of those software titles as opposed to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum. The relevant forums are as follows:

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded. Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page. The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed. Is there a patch for this problem?

Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Trash the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder.
Empty the trash.
Go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and download the FULL installer to replace Reader and the plug-ins.
Redownload the Forms.
