Adobe Reader for Low End PCs.

Hello, I'm an air ambulance pilot and I'm donating several desktop pcs to a rural school in a mountainous province in the Philippines. I bought them by bulk in Hong Kong and some of them are low end. I was wondering what version of adobe reader works well with low end pcs? The latest versions make the low end pcs crawl in performance. The pcs are using windows xp os.

Consider other PDF readers. I recommend the free Foxit Reader for old computers it's small and fast and doesn't carry all the garbage and vulnerabilities of the Adobe software.

    Can I get Adobe Reader for Nokia 109 Cellphone?

    Dear Mr Patt,
    Thanks. As I understand, Nokia does its customised Java based application that acts on low end devices like Nokia 109, as an OS. Therefore, I do not see any solutions available from Adobe.
    Thanks.
    The responses are comforting.
    Regards.
    ps: Wish someone would tell whether there is any third party Java based pdf reader for such non-OS environments?

  • Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

    I am a medical  teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to"  video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure.  It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into  a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader?  Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

    GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

  • Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!

    Hello,
    I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
    I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
    To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
    Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.

    Hello GKaiseril,
    Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
    All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
    Thanks again.

  • Installing Adobe Reader for Palm on Vista

    I run as a standard account on Vista Ultimate. The installer needs admin privileges so that it can update c:\Program Files. As a result, the installer ran under my administrative account. When it shut down, updated the Hotsync conduit and restarted Hotsync, Hotsync was running under my admin account. This means that all Hotsync data ended up in the wrong user directory structure. Also, the conduit was looking in the wrong place for PDFs to be uploaded to the Palm. Restarting Hotsync under my standard account did not work - the Adobe Reader conduit did not show up in my Hotsync settings.
    The solution was to change my standard account to have administrative privileges. I also installed Adobe Reader for Palm to a different directory, rather than under c:\Program Files - I am not sure this is required but has been recommended for other applications that are not Vista-compliant. The Hotsync conduits were properly updated this time but would not automatically restart - a manual restart was successful. I was then successfully able to sync PDFs.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

  • Introducing Lowarch - Arch for low-end systems

    Some of you might remember that I mentioned my plans of making an Arch install cd for low end systems. I've come quite far with this project now.
    First, I must say that it was a lot harder than I first expected. So I can say I have learned a lot in the process.
    Second, before I start ramblig about where I am in the process, I'll just outline what the plan is:
    The best Linux distribution is Arch Linux, because of it's speed, simplicity and elegance in design. I often get hold of some old laptops which are too old for Arch (i586 normally, but also i486). I have tried a lot of distros made for low end systems, but I always end up thinking, ah how wonderful it would have been to have Arch on this. It would have been the perfect distro for this machine.
    And the more I thought about it, I realised that even though Arch is perfect for super modern systems, it would be even more perfect for old systems, because of it's speed and simplicity, and not least the choice of packages.
    Some have started projects to port Arch to i586. I don't think that is the best solution. A lot of Arch isn't really useful on these machines. Therefore I decided to make a new distro based on Arch, where the main difference is the choice of packages. You don't want to run a video editor on a i586. For now I've called the distro Lowarch.
    Here's what I have done so far:
    1st try:
    Oh, I just change the compiler flags to i486 in /etc/makepkg.conf and start compiling all the packages. That worked great. Almost everything in base compiled fine. Until I started to notice the strange i686's coming up in all the ./configure outputs, and when I tried to install some of it on my i586, a lot of Illegal instruction messages came up.
    After doing some research, I understood that some programs make static links to libraries, all of which, of course, are i686 coded on my system. I realised I needed to do this differently. Of course I didn't want to do all the compiling on a 486 machine.
    2nd try:
    I made a Cross Linux From Scratch system, compiled for i486. Even that I had to make twice, for a lot of programs check what processor they are running on and compile for that. So the second time I used a so-called uname-hack. A small kernel module which makes the kernel report that it's running on an i486 machine.
    When I had a basic build system, I compiled pacman, and started to build packages. This time I had to take care of the order for dependencies to work out. First kernel-headers, glibc, etc. I installed one package at a time into an empty directory with the pacman -r option.
    After having the base system compiled, I booted it, and (using the uname-hack still) continued to compile the other packages in current, and the ones that I wanted from extra.
    It was really hard, since a lot of packages just don't compile with recent glibc and gcc. I have learned a lot about writing small patches just to make gcc happy or take away symbols not used anymore etc. The dependencies in the pkgbuilds are not always correct when it comes to building packages. Sometimes, and this is the most frustrating, packages seems to build correctly, but because some library wasn't installed or whatever, a few files are missing from the package, and I have no way to know, untill something goes wrong. Often this wrong is a package not compiling because include files are missing.
    Another problem was to make an installer. I decided I just wanted a simple installer, like Arch has. So I compiled busybox and made an almost exact copy of the 0.7.2 install cd, just compiled for i486, and with my package selection on it.
    What's left to do:
    1. Look more closely at the package selection. If there are people who are interested in this we can have some nice discussions about this. There are a lot of packages I just don't know what is for, and therefore I don't dare take them away.
    2. Clean up the PKGBUILDs, e.g take away references it the i686 and 64bit  arch.
    3. Compile the whole set of packages again, just in case.
    4. Releasing it.
    I've set up a wordpress page at lowarch.linuxophic.org, which is empty now, but where I'll put out a link to the iso when it's ready.

    Yes, I think it would be smart to check out the PKGBUILD once in a while and see if they are still able to build packages. It seems this is only done when new releases arrive.
    The thing about old programs not compiling with newer glibc and gcc or other libraries is unavoidable, and there's an unending stream of patches to address this issue. If a package hasn't had a release for a year, it's quite common that a change in a library it depends on will break the compilation. When or if new releases come, they should usually fix this.
    Of course, PKGBUILDs of current packages should work with a current system, not with a system from last year, if their supposed to be of any use. But it's a huge job to keep this up to date at all times, and you need some programming skills to do it, and I would rather have the devs focus on more important things, like updating packages and making everything work even better.

  • Adobe Reader for Playbook

    Just another voice about the Adobe Reader for Playbook.
    I plan on using Playbook for meetings where  I need to flip through large files rapidly and back and forth.
    The version of Adobe Reader on my Playbook is very slow to load the pages, flipping is difficult and frequently ends up closing the App ,and it does not allow the rapid selection of a particular set of pages to return to without flipping through the 25 preceding pages -  not useful for the type of work I am doing.
    Is there a newer version of the Reader for Playbook that will let me do what I need to do?

    Agreed, Reader for PlayBook should have all the regular reader features.

  • How do I update Adobe reader for ipad?

    I have a file that works fine on my mac but when I try to open on my ipad I'm told I need to update the Adobe reader and given a web address to follow.  The file is an xft.
    I would like to be able to edit it as well.

    Steve and all,
     I appreciate your time and help on this. I realize I'm asking the wrong question. When/where or why is the PDF changing to xft?
    The document is a .pdf on my MacBook. I'm using adobe reader to edit it on my Mac. I have tried to save it to the cloud from my Mac. When I access the cloud drive from the iPad I get a new screen that looks like it should be the document but only a message referencing adobe website to upgrade is given. I've also noticed the 50mb file on my computer,  is listed as 0mb .pdf in the file menu on the cloud drive when the cloud drive is accessed from iPad. 
    I have emailed the document to myself, open the mail on the ipad and used the "open in" drop down to select adobe reader and I get the same message. 
    I have connected iPad to Mac and dropped the file onto the ipad under the "apps" section of iTunes in Adobe reader. Same outcome when accessed via iPad. 
    The original on my Mac continues to work great during this but it would be fantastic to edit documents on the go. 
    The document is coming off a US gov website (i-130 if anyone is interested I tried to link it up here but had some trouble).   I've updated the adobe products on Mac and iPad as far as I can I believe. 
     It is only in the properties drop down that I can see the file name ends in .xft. 
      I'm even open to buying something that works. At this point my hesitation is I can't get the adobe reader in iPad to read/edit a .pdf file that I'm working on in adobe reader for my Mac so I assume a third party would also fail at this. 
     Any advice is helpful as I have a pile of documents to get through before I can move my family back home with me.

  • 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!
