Adobe Reader comes with WSE Astromenda

Just a caution. DO NOT just install Adobe. I made sure I downloaded it directly from Adobe.com. Adobe is trying to capture fees from different companies at the cost of our privacy. Please note that you are not "accepting" their End User Agreement after the first box. If you continue to click "ACCEPT" you are accepting third party software.
I have a PC that has very little programs on it since I only need it for business stuff. Had to download Adobe reader. Went to the Adobe site. I was very familiar with Adobe installing McAfee on your PC if you do not uncheck it but I was not aware that they allow astromendagames.com to put their program on my PC. I checked the exact time I downloaded the Adobe reader and it was within 2 minutes of when astromenda was installed on my PC. I would have never known this unless I saw "Cut The Rope" icon on my desktop. Had I clicked on this, it would have taken me to astromendagames.com. I continued to search my PC to learn where astromenda put code in and found that it was placed in my Program Directory under WSE_Astromenda. If you open this directory, there are two files: astcnfg.dat and uninst.dat that are written in some type of Chinese or Japanese symbols.
Also found it in the following places
Windows/Task file - file name: astomenda.job
under my browser profile as a "searchplugin" file name: astomenda.xml.
Just very disappointed in Adobe as a company.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that, but the file which you have mentioned, is already a known malware on Internet, so it has nothing to do with Adobe or any related product. It's just a coincident that was installed while installing Adobe software. You can learn about it on Microsoft blog, a link is given here
WSE Astromenda
If you still have any issue, please let us know.

How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again. This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically. This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
Just my opinion here Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
Regards a unhappy Adobe user.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Can I hide the Adobe Reader panel with "Export, Create and Edit PDF and Send and Store Files"? I don't use it and it takes up space

If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

Adobe Reader Performance with Protect Mode On

We are getting very poor performance in opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, particularly for users remote from our central server. With Protected Mode off, performance is much better (10-20X faster opening). Note that we are running Windows 7 with Application Data Roaming and Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, Protected View off, and Advanced Security on. We have diagnosed the problem as follows: We are using the Windows 7 Application Roaming Data feature to house some profile data for our remote users, and when they try to open a PDF document with Protected Mode on, Adobe sends numerous I/O packets (approximatel 6000!) across the "wire" for security checking against the Application Roaming data file on the central server, thus greatly slowing PDF opening. We would like to know the following: 1) Is there a way to turn-off Protected Mode for company server stored documents, while keeping it active for documents received from external sources (e.g. from the internet, e-mail, etc.). 2) is there a way to have Protect Mode security verification done only on the local machine profile data and not on the centrally stored Application Roaming Data file (thus greatly reducing the "across the wire" I/O traffic). Thanks for any help, CCB.

I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible. Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

In addition to that symptom, I discovered that even though I had closed all Adobe Reader sessions, the processes kept running and used up 90%+ of my CPU.

Adobe reader met with unexpected error

Hi all,
I've been bombed with this problem for so long, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can give any suggestion. The problem is: My adobe reader 7.0.8 or 8.0 are constantly met with unexpected errors. It just doesn't work, I can't open any files with it. Did anyone have similar problems before? Is there any hidden files I have to delete before installing a newer version or something else?
thanks!!

Here are more details:
I had adobe reader 6.0, the only version that was working on my mac, in my application library. I tried to upgrade it to version 8.0. I downloaded and installed adobe reader 8.0 alright, no problems there. But after installation was complete, the Reader restarted itself and crashed, showing me the message "The adobe reader met with unexpected error." and could not even function, not to mention opening any files. It happened with 7.0.8 before as well. I had no other way but to change it back to 6.0. But it's really bugging me because compared to the latest versions, 6.0 isn't really that good. So please help! thanks
I'm using powerpc G4 ibook tiger 10.4.8

Adobe reader comes packed with two other programs

I've downloaded Adobe Reader and its working just fine. The problem is, it seems to have downloaded two other programs with it: Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Air. Do I want these programs? What are they? Also, when I try to open Adobe Acrobat I continually have a box that comes up that says "Unfortunately Acrobat could not connect to the server to complete your action." So, do I want Acrobat? and if so, how do I make it connect to the server to register itself?

Read about AIR at
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/everyone/
and acrobat.com (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat, which is a
program for making and editing PDF files) at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat.com/Acrobat/
You probably don't need them, but I shouldn't worry about them being
there. I've found acrobat.com useful for file sharing.

Unresolved bug in adobe reader x with non-default windows zoom level

This seems to have already been brought up here about a year ago: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/776060.
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Firefox 12.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Here is a description of the problem:
Whenever I open any PDF file in a browser (firefox or IE) using the adobe reader I am unable to select text, save the file or interact with the content in any meaningful way because the plugin does not recognise my cursor position. If I click on some text in a PDF document, the reader will immediately highlight a region of text between where I clicked and where it thinks I started clicking from (above 20% of the screen above and to the left of where I actually clicked on the page). If I roll my mouse over the region where the dashboard normally appears, the dash does appear as intended and the cursor changes in response to hover over buttons, as if everything were working, but I am unable to click on anything (clicking does nothing). If I click and hold the dashboard when it appears, it immediately jumps to another region of the page, as if it thinks I moved the mouse (20% up and to the left again). I have recently reformatted and am now using a fresh install, and the issue remains. My desktop zoom level in windows is 150%. The problem appears only inside the browser; viewing PDFs directly in Acrobat Reader X works without issue.
I can resolve the problem either of two ways:
a) Reverting back to the default windows zoom level (125%).
b) right-clicking on the Adobe Reader X icon, navigating to the compatibility tab and clicking "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings"
The workaround is easy but it's disappointing that adobe hasn't fixed this. Please consider that it would mostly affect individuals who are vision impaired and might not have the know-how to resolve the problem or check for solutions online, let alone post comments such as this. As far as I can tell this problem severely impaires the functionality of adobe in any browser on any non-standard zoom windows installation.

Please be sure to post your issue in the following Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

Adobe Reader Rights with Acrobat 10 Pro

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9 to 10. With 9 I could assign Adobe Reader Rights. With 10 I can't quite figure out how to do that and forms designed in 9 when revised lose these rights. Any suggestions?

I think you are in the wrong forum.
This forum deals with Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service.

Wrong language after Adobe Reader Update with SCCM/SCUP

After installation of the Reader Update 10.1.4 the language of the Adobe Reader changed from german to english and can not be set back to german.
I did a complete uninstall of Adobe Reader and did a manual install with AdbeRdr1014_de_DE.exe, but the reader UI is stil in english, but displaying "Deutsch" in the options dialog.
deployed with System Center Configuration Manager 2012 with System Center Updates Publisher 2011 and Adobe SCUP Catalog.

You may want to use this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, if you want to reinstall Reader, download the offline installer of the version you want from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Adobe reader works with emails but not internet

Help! I have uninstalled earlier versions of Adobe reader and installed the latest version. The reason for this was that we can open PDF files when emailed to us, but can't open files on the web. We just get a blank page. Any ideas?

What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.
http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html
You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

Adobe Reader compatibility with Chrome on MAC OS

Hi,
Are Adobe Reader 9, 10 & 11 versions compatible with Chrome on a MAC OS?
I found below Adobe Reader tech specs where Chrome is not explicitly listed under Mac OS but again Chrome isn’t explicitly listed for Adobe Reader 9 and 10 specs for windows either but this works fine –
http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/reader/tech-specs.html
Any pointers will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

Compatibility of Adobe Reader XI with mac OSX 10.8.5 and other browsers

I would like to download and use Adobe Reader XI so that i could insert signatures into pdf documents. However, I noted that the requirements of Adobe Reader XI for mac computers with OSX 10.8.5, specifies Safari as the browser. Can I use Firefox or Google Chrome rather than Safari?

Both Firefox and Chrome use their own PDF viewers; you would need to configure them to use the Adobe PDF plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Adobe Reader clashing with web browser, problem. Help

Hello,
I've been using Foxit Reader before using Adobe Reader. Now when i'm trying to view pdf files in firefox there is this error showing "The Adobe Reader cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser". I've tried reinstalling adobe reader but this problem persists. Below is a screenshot of the problem. This might be a bug in the program as i have done the needful and set adobe as the deafult pdf file manager or the web browser might be clashing with this version of adobe reader. I'm not sure why this is happening and would like someone to educate me on this.
Please let me know of any solution to this problem. I'm on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Ritwick
