Adobe Reader function

Hi!
I am using the Adobe Reader app pre-installed on an ASUS T100TA running Windows 8.1.
When I first started opening pdf files using this app, I had to highlight and right-click on a word to get the 3 options of "Highlight", "Add note" or "Copy". Then at some point, something changed (maybe an update?) and so as soon as I would highlight a word, I would get the 3 options appearing for me to choose from, saving me a right-click.
I recently had to replace the laptop and so now I'm back to having to highlight a word and right-clicking before I get the 3 options. Can anyone explain to me how I can go back to just having to highlight a word to get the 3 options without the need for right-clicking? I have tried to find updates for the app to rectify this issue, but this has been to no avail.
Thanks a lot!

I clicked on View --> Toolbars --> More, and checked the box to put the email button on the main toolbar

How does preview use adobe reader

I use QuickBooks for Mac for the company accounting. Our Intuit online payroll service calls up a report and i attempt to "view" or print. Lion cannot find the Adobe Reader. It worked just fine when i had Snow Leopard installed. Did Lion relocate the Adobe App in the file structure? I need help "remapping" the payroll service report tool to find the Adobe reader function.
thanks...steve

Adobe Reader should reside inside /Applications. Installing Lion should have no affect on it. Preview doesn't have anything to do WRT AR. If AR's not on your machine, DL, and install it: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html

Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2 BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
WHILE IN ADOBE READER I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
2. Operating System = Windows 7.
3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..

I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

Trusted function not reffered in PDF file - Adobe reader.

Am failry new to Adobe scripting.
I am trying to generate a jasper report of PDF file format from an online web application
MY intension is to automatically save the generated report into my user's hard drive location say /C/Sample/sample.pdf
I have created the trusted function and made it copied to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts
Trusted function code mySaveAs.js
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cFile)
app.beginPriv();
// Ensure path has trailing "/" cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");
try{
oDoc.saveAs(cFile);
}catch(e){
app.alert("Error During Save");
app.endPriv();
And am invoking the script from the Jasper api which will be a part of the PDF script like below
exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT,
     " if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') { " +
     " mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');"+
     " } else { " +
     " app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')" +
its just Equivalent of
if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') {
      mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');
} else {
app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')}
but am not able to get the file saved in my client machine.
Kindly suggest me a better approach or any where if am missing something.
Am failry new to Adobe scripting.

Am currently using Adobe reader 11 I am not getting any alert .
But the same saveAs() works well in XP even with out making it as a trusted function, We have just placed the script inside the PDF itself. But its not working in Windows 7.
Below code works fine in Win XP
try
     this.saveAs('/C/Sample/sample.pdf'');
    catch(e)
    { app.alert(e);}

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

Highlight and comments function in Adobe Reader 9

Is it possible to activate the highlight and comment function in Adobe Reader 9. An online help line suggests that this is possible. Is this for a different version of Reader?

It is possible, but it requires that the file be given certain rights in advance in Acrobat. With later versions these rights became obsolete and Reader can add highlights and sticky notes even without them.

Adobe Acrobat X: Attachments and Extended Reader Functions...

All,
after adding attachments (e.g. PDF documents) to a PDF document and saving the document with "Extended Reader Functions" an error is shown in the Java debugger window:
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
10:Document-Level:ADBE::FileAttachmentsCompatibility
Adobe creates a document-level javascript function called "FileAttachmentsCompatibility" within ADBE.
Looking into the source code, the error can be easily seen
app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des...
(a part of the German version is shown)
As one can see, the highlighting "Speichern" (saving) is inside of double quotation marks.
This can only be solved by - again - saving the newly created document as a copy. Opening this document, one can edit the faulty script
Find below the corrected version:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
if (this.external)
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf "Speichern", um eine Kopie des Dokuments zu speichern. Öffnen Sie die Kopie in Adobe Acrobat, und wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Datei" > "Dokumenteigenschaften" > "Eingebettete Datenobjekte".", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)
if (n == 0)
   var np = this.numPages;
   syncAnnotScan();
   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie oben in der vertikalen Bildlaufleiste des Dokumentfensters auf das schwarze Dreieck und wählen "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);
   else
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie "Dokument" > "Dateianlagen".", 3, 0);

The script was automatically created by the Adobe Acrobat software...
I know the issue, but is there any bug-fix available? I don't want to correct it for every document!
Correction: Above you find the automatically created document.
A corrected possibility is shown below:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 7)
var n = 0;
if (this.dataObjects != null)
n = this.dataObjects.length;
if (v >= 5 && v < 6 && n > 0 && (app.viewerVariation == "Full" || app.viewerVariation == "Fill-In"))
if (this.external)
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie auf 'Speichern', um eine Kopie des Dokuments zu speichern. Öffnen Sie die Kopie in Adobe Acrobat, und wählen Sie 'Datei' > 'Dokumenteigenschaften' > 'Eingebettete Datenobjekte'.", 3, 0);
else
   app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie 'Datei' > 'Dokumenteigenschaften' > 'Eingebettete Datenobjekte'.", 3, 0);
else if (v >= 6 && v < 7)
if (n == 0)
   var np = this.numPages;
   syncAnnotScan();
   for (var p = 0; p < np && n == 0; ++p)
    var annots = this.getAnnots(p);
    if (annots != null)
     for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; ++i)
      if (annots[i].type == "FileAttachment")
       n = 1;
       break;
if (n > 0)
   if (this.external)
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen klicken Sie oben in der vertikalen Bildlaufleiste des Dokumentfensters auf das schwarze Dreieck und wählen 'Dateianlagen'.", 3, 0);
   else
    app.alert("Dieses Dokument hat Dateianlagen. Zum Anzeigen der Anlagen wählen Sie 'Dokument' > 'Dateianlagen'.", 3, 0);

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

Save as Functionality in Adobe Reader

Hello All,
I have developed a form in LiveCycle ES -2 . There is a functionality in the form : After filling all the required fields if the user tries to submit before saving the form then it will prompt the user to save the form in a different file name.This works fine in Acrobat 9 Pro. But when I open the form in Adobe Reader and try to do the same operation the form gets saved, But it's blank form.How to get over it with ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.

Please be aware of licensing restrictions when enabling form from Acrobat, my understanding is that
you can only send a reader enabled form to 500 unique users to respond to that form as many times as they wish
or post out to an infinite number of users and you are only allowed to receive 500 responses. See the Acrobat Pro EULA.
thanks
darren

Submit by email function on adobe reader

I'm trying to apply for a job using an online application on the company's website. The company uses adobe reader. After filling out all the information I click on the submit by email button and get a message saying, "please on enter numerical data for your DOB, etc 01/01/2005 should be entered as 01012005." This is frustrating because I am entering the information as the program asks. After entering my DOB in purely numerical form Adobe adds "/"es after I click on another box. Furthermore, a friend of has successfully filled out the data and submitted the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

'Submit by Email' Button:
I am having a similar issue to one that has already been posted.
When an email message gets created, the following message appears alongside the email address,
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details.
Do I need to be concerned about this? Will the email still work? Our customers will be using this form to register for an event, so I don't want to send it out if it does not function properly.
FYI...I am using Designer 7.0.

Hello Adobe Reader Developers. I need some functionality in Adobe Pdf Reader

I need a slideshow functionality of a pages with speed settings. Actually i did not want to change pages by swiping on it. I want to move up the pdf pages automatically so that i can only have work to read the content of pages from 1 line to other line and then 1 page to other page like slideshow functionaly available for the images in gallery of andriod mobile.

I'm not sure what you are asking; most of this functionality is already present in Adobe Reader: Edit | Preferences | Full Screen.

Functionality missing - excel opening pdf file launches adobe reader

When i opened a PDF file in excel or word it used to launch adobe reader instead and show me the file. Yesterday i installed internet explorer 8 and now this functionality has disappeard.
Anybody knows how to get it back?

Hi and thanks for replying.
Well, there used to be something running on the background that opens pdf files in adobe, even if you tried opening them in office applications. And i dont know how it works but now it's gone.
Problem for me is not the opening thru another program itself, but the functionality being there and now being gone with the installation of internet explorer 8. Also, for some people, like my father, opening something thru adobe reader is very different then opening something thru excel.
I hope this helps and some1 can point me to the background process to see if i can update/implenent something in ie8.

Any function in the free Adobe Reader apps will be missing due to the design? I wanna to know for the most important function in Adobe Reader for myself, the highlight pen function. Will it be able for me to have this function for the free Adobe Reader apps?
Thank you

For simple things you can try yourself, it's generally quicker to just do that. Now that someone has already moved your post maybe you'll get a reply within a day or two, anyway.
