Adobe Reader forgets my view settings.

I have installed Adobe Reader X for Windows XP SP3. Everything working fine.
I have customized my toolbar, shown the left pane with page previews and hidden the menus. I like this layout.
But everytime I close Adobe Reader and open it again, the menu bar is shown. But I don't want it. What should I do?

Is this forum dead?

Android running Adobe Reader can't view PDF

My Android running Adobe Reader can't view Adobe PDF attachments that someone has emailed me through Exchange Server.
I can, however, read the same PDF attachments if I receive said PDFs in my Gmail account.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jonathan Smith

Im having the same problem, most pdf attachments work fine but I have a supplier who I can only view a blank page as the data does not display. Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

Define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry

Is it possible to define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry?
I need to add the folder path our docuemnt managment system uses for its temp directory.
Thanks

I modified the transform file I use to deploy reader via group policy with the adobe customization wizard and specified the desired privileged locations.
I then did a test deploy of reader to a workstation and adobe reader 11.0.02 was installed. None of the privileged locations I defined in the transform are showing up as being defined in the GUI and they are not in the registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\TrustManager\cTrustedFolders I used filemon to figure out where reader was writing to in the registry.
I don’t know if there are issues with certain parts of the transform being ignored when installing the software. I have noticed that if I install adobe reader via the command line and apply the transform, the installer completely ignores the transform but gives no errors.

Adobe Reader 8.x - view page width continues

Latest official version of Adobe Reader installed on win vista business 32Bits.
Preferences->Page View->Layout
(these are my translations of German Adobe, might be inaccurate)
set to "page width, continues".
However most pdf documents open with "page width, non-continues".
It is very frustrating for me.
What should I check to get my setting working ?

You can't. The page view settings can also specified in the PDF document.

Adobe Reader XI - Poster printing settings

I am struggling to adjust the settings correctly in Adobe Reader XI in order to use four A3 pages to create an A1 to scale. The PDFs are saved as A1 from AutoCAD. I am aware I am to use the Poster option for printing this way, but I am unaware of the exact settings within there in order to acheive what I want (after several failed attempts I am only able to print a random section on one A3 page - to scale yes, but useless) I am using a Brother A3 printer from a Mac, if it helps to know.
Any assistance appreciated.

You're right! I was wrong!
To solve:
- open the address about:config
- search for pdfjs
- double click on entry pdfjs.disabled;false
And reset acrobat preview as described here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
Thanks!!!

Adobe Reader bypasses "secure print" settings when printing from IE add-on

We have the IE add-on for Adobe Reader enabled (Internet Explorer 9), and we've found that for some people this is causing PDFs to get printed without the "secure print" option, even though the print dialog shows it. Our printer settings all have the setting enabled for "secure print", which requires you to enter a PIN on the printer before the print job will be released. When printing PDFs from Adobe Reader (currently 11.0.3, but I couldn't see anything in the release notes for .4, .5. or .6 that are relevant) outside of IE, secure print works fine, but when it's opened within the Adobe Reader plugin for IE, the secure print setting is enabled but the print job gets sent to the printer without the PIN requirement... somehow.
I'm completely stumped by it, and didn't even believe it until I saw it myself.
Does anyone know what might be working differently when a PDF is printed from the add-on than when it's printed by a 'full' instance of Adobe Reader?
On an affected PC, if you disable the add-on, the PDF opens in that full instance and works normally, so it's very definitely related (somehow) to the add-on specifically.

Hey,
I have been advised against monitor calibration, and I'm assuming if all of my other products have come back correct in terms of colour I see on screen that it should be ok?
the person that told me about the Adobe workspace has the same printer, but she works in Photoshop, and had someone set it up for her. She tried to help over phone, but is difficult as we have different versions of Adobe software, and it was a while since she had it done.
My workspace is currently in RGB, so would you suggest working in CMYK?
If I have my workspace set to Adobe RGB (1998) should I then be changing my printer profile to the same one?
I've attached the colour setting screen shot, I've not done anything to change this.
I think I need the setting on bottom image set to 'colour sync' is that right?
I'm also not sure about the relative colourimetric option. When at art college, I was always told to print in perceptual, but not sure which is best option here.

Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
Anyone have idea?? Thx!

Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
stuck with the effect of the bug.

Adobe Reader 8 - cannot view videos in pdf file

Hello,
I have Adobe Reader 8 and cannot view any videos contained in a pdf file. I also have Flash Player, Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player. I am connected to the Internet.
Does anybody have an idea why the videos will not play? Do I need to buy Adobe Reader 9?
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thank you.
Lisa G.

Post your questions in the forum for Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader will not switch settings when I try to print something.

I have a product created using Adobe AIR.
I have a portion where a pdf is loaded into a window, and they print it. When we change what paper they are going to print on (different dimensions), it does not take effect.
We have to load it in a native PDF application (Acrobat) and change the settings, then print the piece off again.
This is horrible for efficiency.
Has anyone had this problem?
Help!

What exactly does this have to do with Adobe Reader?

Adobe reader touch has no settings

The adobe reader app on my Lenovo ideapad s210 has no settings. I need to sync the app across my devices but there is no settings. What do i do?

What is it that you are trying to sync? As you point out, there are no settings 9actually, a few, but not many). So there isn't anything that you'd need to sync from the app's standpoint.
On the other hand, if you're talking about syncing the documents themselves, you'll want to make use of a file sync service such as Adobe's Creative Cloud file sync (which comes with an Adobe subscription), or any of the others. Reader Touch works just fine with Microsoft's OneDrive, for example.
I hope this helps, but if you describe your objective more clearly, I'm sure we can help with more specific suggestions.

Adobe reader print current view and snapshot tool inoperable

Print current view is inoperable in part of the document snapshot tool is inoperable in all of the document, why?
I am trying to print a two page pdf in larger print and can't figure out how to do it.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooook. I tried that, but Adobe reader froze so hard, I had to do a hard boot. Don't ever start Adobe Reader then go to straight to "help". When I exited help, I got a red screen which had "legal notices" and "credits". Clicking on either of those worked. When I tried to exit, I just got a beep. When I tried to close with the task manager it said that the program was locked and could not be closed. When I tried to soft re-boot my whole system froze. Only a hard boot got me out of the frozen Adobe reader.
Now back to the task at hand. Fit does nothing. To make the document readable, I have to zoom to 125%, but zoom does not influence type size except in "current view", To print a two page document, I have to do 26 "current views". I NEED the snapshot tool, why is it inoperable?

Adobe Reader 9.0 views but won't print a graphic that prints in version 7.0

I have several pdf files that were created from Adobe InDesign. The files contain a photo that has text and another graphic layered on top of the photo. When I export the InDesign file to Adobe PDF, I can see the entire image (photo, text, and graphic), but when I try to print the PDF from Adobe Reader 9.0, the graphic image does not print. When I try to print the same pdf file from a computer that has Adobe Reader 7.0 installed, the file prints fine. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? If not, is there any way I can get Adove Reader 7.0 reinstalled (I can't find it on the website). Thanks.

Try and print the PDF as an image.
Also when you send this to someone else are hey able to print without an issue?
Have you've tried another printer?

Adobe Reader X - cannot view local PDF's fully or web PDF's at all

I have downloaded Adober Reader X onto my Windows XP IE v8 PC, yet I cannot fully open any PDF documents. On local PDF's I can see part of them, scroll up and down them, and print them though. When looking at local docs I can also see the desktop behind where the toolbars should be; no toolbars are visible.
For PDF's through IE, when I try and download the PDF I just get a black screen where the PDF should be.
I have tried uninstalling (reader and acrobat), re-installing, clearing temporary internet files, all to no avail. Any ideas as to what the problem (and solution!) might be?

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
The problem:
The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
More details from ProcMon
After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
Help is more than welcome.
Thank You

Adobe reader. Cannot view or download web .pdfs: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.5

I have followed the help intructions: Adobe Reader preferences>Internet> Web Browser Options. But the 'Display PDF in browser usng' box is not highlighted (i.e. it is selected but cannot be used).
This has happened since I downloaded the latest Reader update to 10.1.3

Managed to find an answer here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4326160#4326160#4326160
although it didn't quite work in the same manner for me (the 32 bit mode was unchecked, so I checked and unchecked it again).
What is also new is that the .pdf cannot be saved through Safari but can by the .pdf save icon.
Thanks to Shashi!

Correct AnswerRe: Adobe 10.1.3 fails to open pdf in Safari 5.1.5
Hi David,
Please note that if you are using OS X 10.6.x, then you'll need to run Safari in 64Bit mode. You can do the same by
1. Go to Applications, Command+Click on Safari to open the Context menu.
2. Now click on Get Info
3. From the new window that appears, Uncheck "Open in 32-bit mode".
This is because on OS X 10.6.8, Safari 5.1 in 32-bit mode is not supported. Refer to release notes for more details about systems requirements changes.
If above information was not helpful,
Please let us know your OS version and whether this issue happens with all PDF files or with any specific file?
Also try to "Reload" the PDF in safari when grey window appears by pressing "Command + R"?
