  • Reader incompatible with system configuration

    Installing Reader Xl has turned all of my icons into Adobe symbols and will not open. Dialog box says that protected mode is incompatible with system configuration but still will not open even if I click to disable proteced mode. I cannot open Adobe Reader either. I use Windows 7

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. If my browser gets closed I have to uninstall the program just to open my browser or any other program. I scanned with Kaspersky TDSS Killer and it showed up clean. I have went to the Adobe Properties and tried it on the compatibility pack for windows 7 and also tried it on XP service pack 2. No luck.

  • Adobe Reader incompatible with Windows Internet Explorer 9

    I recently installed the update for Windows Internet Eexplorer 9 on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and have installed the latest Adobe Reader as well.
    After installing Windows IE 9 I found that I was not able to view any letters etc online where Adobe Reader was required.
    I tried all the suggestions in the associated help screen to no avail, so I finally 'uninstalled'  the Windows I E 9 update and magically I was once again able to view online letters etc.
    I am wondering why the latest Adobe Reader is incompatible with Windows I E 9?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe IE9 is not supported with Reader9, but everything should work as usual. I have both on my machine and am able to use them without any problem.
    Try repairing Reader from Programs in Control Panel.
    Kindly refer to System Requirement section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_9.5.pdf

    Any ideas?

    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.

  • 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

    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).

  • 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

  • Error occurs with Adobe Reader on romanian Systems

    I have encountered an error in the Version 11.0.10 of "Adobe Reader XI - Romanian" running on a Windows 7, Service pack 1, 32-bit Operating System with a romanian language pack. In Detail the issue appears on opening a pdf-file, showing that there is a Problem with "Arial, Bold", but showing the exact pdf-file as it is supposed to be. The error-message occurs every time and get's pretty annoying. Even mutated vowels that aren't supposed to be in the romanian language are shown without further Problems.
    I have tested the pdf-file on other operating Systems with different language packs and another known pdf-reader. In every case except the explained above there are no Errors at all.
    How to fix that Problem?
    With best regards,
    Julian.

    Sorry for my delayed answer.
    I tried several versions:
    Adobe Reader XI - Romanian on Windows 7 - Romanian
    Adobe Reader X - Romanian on Windows 7 - Romanian
    Adobe Reader XI - Romanian on Windows 7 - German
    Adobe Reader X - Romanian on Windows 7 - German
    All resulting in the same Error mentioned above.
    I also noticed, that Windows 7 with the Romanian Language Pack contains 5 different Arial-Font versions, while the German Language Pack contains 9. I expanded the Arial Fonts on the Romanian Windows 7 from five to nine and created a new pdf file (on the same way the Initial file was created) resulting in the same error.

  • Adobe reader 5 with windows 7?

    I'm told AR 5 is incompatible with windows 7 is there any fix?@

    First, you cannot have two Reader versions on the same system.
    If you are happy to have only Reader 5, you can try to run it under Windows 2000 or XP Compatibility Mode.  No guarantee it will work.
    You can download it from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/ - ar500enu.exe and ar505enu.exe being the English versions.
    Another way, if you don't need to use it too often, is to run a copy of XP on Virtual PC.

  • Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7 ?

    I typically do not have problems installing Microsoft products, Corel products, HP products, AV software, dozens of other companies products on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, every recent Adobe product I have purchased have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and it typically takes support several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves creating new accounts, disabling services, disabling the UAC, doing partial restarts (I did not even know those existed) and normal restarts, etc (I do have administrative rights on my account(s)).
    Today I was working with customer support (taking control of my desktop). We did not succeed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    During the installation a windows dialog box was displayed which stated that the Adobe installation .exe file was incompatible with Windows UAC.
    There is clearly something wrong with the Adobe installer because Adobe products are the only products that cannot be installed.
    Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?
    Does anyone know what is going on?
    Is the Adobe installer really incompatible with Windows 7 as the Windows dialog box stated?
    Thomas

    Thank you for your help all three of you,
    I finally succeeded to install.
    I was using the downloaded version (not the DVD), I should have mentioned that. I did two things. I turned off the UAC (as suggested) and I moved the installation files from my user account folder where they were placed by default (I initially just accepted the default). The user account was protected despite my administrative rights, which is why install using setup.exe in the user account location failed. I have a feeling that I would not have had to turn off the UAC or move the files out of the user account folder if I had run as administrator. I'll remember that next time. It is funny customer support did not see this.
    Anyway, now it is installed

  • Adobe Reader conflicts with Adobe Acrobat?

    It looks like there are some conflicts between Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat:
    I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9 without problems but when running the downloaded file(.exe) the seup is interrupted before Adobe Reader 9 could be completelly installed. A message shows up saying: "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Adobe Reader 6.0.msi".
    In fact, I had Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 installed some timew ago, but it was properly uninstalled as I did everything possible to completelly uninstall it, inclusive runing Registry Clean.
    The same problem arises if I try do install a previous version of Adobe Reader (e.g. 8.0).
    Can anyone please help to solve this probem?
    Thank you.

    This is not a solution, it is a work-around for bad programming practices.
    I recently had a problem with links from one document to another for literature on our website. The problem was with both Acrobat and Reader where if I did not check the Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser", the pdf document would download into my "Tempoary Internet Files" folder. From there it expected to find and open the linked document. Our literature website downloads all literature from a common folder on the host.
    This problem came up after upgrading (or is it downgrading?) from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was not a problem with Windows XP.
    The fix for links was to check Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser". Now the fix for error 1316 is to UNCHECK Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser".
    I want both Acrobat and Reader loaded in my system so I can TEST the form or any changes I make from Acrobat.
    I am really frustrated by this, especially when I get calls from my customers who are accessing our literature online and having the same problems. What do I tell them? Contact Adobe? NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GIVE ME A REAL SOLUTION, GUYS!!!
    FYI: Try using FireFox or Opera browser. You may have better results.

  • 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.
