Adobe Reader on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if Adobe's Vulnerability ID: APSB11-03 is applicable to Reader 8.1.7. That is the version of Reader that is installed be default with the latest version of Solaris 10 for SPARC platforms.
Thanks.

Dear zata40,
No, Adobe Reader 8.1.7 for SPARC solaris is not affected by this security vulnerability, it is applicable to Win and Mac releases only.
Thanks,

How to install Apache Web Server with PHP on Sun Solaris Sparc machine

Hi,
We are trying to install the Apache Web Server and the PHP package on a Sun Solaris Sparc machine running on SunOS 5.8. We are having compilation problems with the source code of both these packages.
Does anybody know if there are ready solaris packages for Apache and PHP available from where we can download and install instead of source code compilation?
Or any instructions / things to watch for when installing Apache with PHP (if anybody has tried installing Apache with PHP on Sun Solaris earlier) is most welcome.
Thanks,
Harish

Apache should be bundled along with Solaris check in "/var/apache" in Solaris 8 and Solaris 9
php is available at www.php.net
I found an old document for installing PHP maybe this will help.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Installing PHP 3.x for Apache 1.x.x on Solaris
Introduction
This document describes how to install PHP for Apache on Solaris.
You should have Apache installed before trying to install PHP.
If you want to use PHP with MySQL then you must install MySQL first.
Before we Begin
1. These instructions assume that you have Apache installed according to instructions.
Getting PHP
1. You must be logged in as root to perform this installation.
su root
2. I save all my downloads in:
/usr/local/dist
If you don't already have one, you may need to create that directory now:
mkdir /usr/local/dist
3. You can get PHP 3.0.14 from here(www.php.net).
cd /usr/local/dist
ftp ftp.php.net
cd pub/distributions
bin
get php-3.0.14.tar.gz
bye
Installing PHP
1. We will install PHP in /usr/local/build, but use a tricky tar command
to do it in on hit from the download directory:
cd /usr/local/dist
tar xvfz php-3.0.12.tar.gz -C ../build
Compiling PHP
1. First let's get where the action is:
cd /usr/local/build/php-3.0.14
2. You now have 3 options:
* Simple PHP install without MySQL - goto step 3
* Simple PHP install with MySQL - goto step 4
* Custom PHP install - goto step 5
3. Simple PHP install without MySQL. Next, jump to step 6.
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
4. Simple PHP install with MySQL. MySQL must be installed before you can configure PHP to use it. I recommend that MySQL should always be reachable with /usr/local/mysql. Even if you install it else where you
should create a symbolic link from /usr/local/mysql. Otherwise the compiler can have problems finding the mysqlclient library. The command
should look like this:
./configure with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
Next, jump to step 6.
5. Custom PHP install. Take a look at the available configuration directives by using this command:
./configure --help
6. Now we can make the PHP executable. This may take a while.
make
7. Now we install the PHP module with:
make install
Adding the PHP Module to Apache
1. Now we have to setup Apache to include the PHP module:
cd ../apache_1.3.12
2. Re-configure Apache to use the PHP module. You should use your previous Apache configure command along with the PHP activate module directive.
You can see your previous Apache configure command by doing:
cat config.status
You can configure Apache using the previous command with the added PHP module by doing:
./config.status --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
If you used the simple Apache install from instructions the command will look like this:
./configure prefix=/usr/local/apache activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
3. Make and install Apache with PHP enabled:
make
4. We need to stop the server before installing the files:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
5. Now we can install the new binaries:
make install
6. Start apache again (now running the new php enabled version):
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Setting Up PHP
1. We have to tell Apache to pass certain file extensions to PHP. We do this in Apache's httpd.conf file.
cd /usr/local/apache/conf
2. Edit the httpd.conf file. If you do a search for php you will find a couple of commented out lines telling Apache to use the PHP module. You should uncomment them to look like this.
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
3. I prefer to use the extension .phtml, you can use whatever extension you like (even .html) by adding lines to httpd.conf like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
Check that it Works
1. We have to restart Apache to make these changes take effect on the running server.
cd /usr/local/apache/bin
./apachectl restart
2. Apache should now be running with PHP enabled. The server version should include PHP/3.0b2.
./apachectl status
Apache Server Status for dev.synop.com
Server Version: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/3.0.12
Server Built: Oct 25 1999 00:37:07
3. Now it is time to test PHP with a page. The simplest thing to do is create a page called test.php3. My file is here. This file contains the
following text:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
4. Point your browser at this file on the virtual host which you used:
http://localhost/test.php3

Do you have an Adobe Reader for Unix/Solaris? If so, can you provide me the URL?

Do you have an Adobe Reader for Unix/Solaris? If so, can you provide me the URL?

The last Reader version issued for Unix is 9.5.5; you can download the appropriate files from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/

Once downloaded and unzipped, how does one upgrade Firefox on a Solaris Sparc machine?

I tried updater, run-mozilla.sh, firefox-bin. Or do we just replace the files in the current firefox directory?

After unzipping the file just copy or move the directory firefox to /usr/lib. You may wish to backup the original /usr/lib/firefox to something like /usr/lib/firefox.<date> before you start.

Installation of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader on the same machine

What is the recommendation from Adobe on having both Adobe Acrobat Pro/Std installed and Adobe Reader installed on the same machine?
Is there an 'official' or 'recommended' statement for this?

I think it is not recommended or supported for versions earlier than X.

Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on same machine as Acrobat 8 and 9

We are about to upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.0.1. In our environment we have one platform with WinXP SP3 and Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.2.5. The other platform is a Win 7 and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.1 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.1. On all machines we also have Adobe Reader with the same versions, XP 8.2.5 and Win7 9.4.1.
It works fine today but how will it work if I will upgrade Adobe Reader to 10.0.1?
Thanks

Thanks ~graffiti
I think we just will patch the old versions and live happy with that.
Wasn't clear enough, we dont have Pro and Standard on the same machine, Adobe Reader is installet on all machines.

Can I download two versions of Adobe Reader on my machine?

I need both versions 9 and XI for work-related projects. Is there a way to keep both downloaded on my machine and then pick which version to use to open PDFs? I am frustrated that I have to keep re-downloading the versions I need. Please advise best way to go about this. Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader XI downloaded on your machine. (You can keep setup.exe files) but you can't use 2 versions of Adobe reader on your computer as newer version removes the older version.
Thanks,
Vikram

Adobe Reader on Windows 7 64BIT

Hi All
since version 10 (X) of adobe reader our windows 7 64bit machines take an age to open PDF's over 10 seconds for most, regardless of if the file is on the local machine or network
They currently have version 10.1.0 installed.
On all our vista pcs it runs fine and we dont appear to have the issue on our windows 7 32bit machines
Does anyone else have this issue
Does any one know how to fix this issue
Thanks in advance
Neil

Hi All
Just a quick update
We disabled Antivirus and Antispam and still had the issue
Tried this Go to Edit / preferences / general - the uncheck box "Enable protected mode at startup" This got rid of the lag in opening adobe docs.
Still no good
tried this Open the reader, select Edit, Preferences then select Internet from the Categories. This should display the Web browser options page, untick "Allow speculative downloading in the background". This increased the speed of opening pdfs for me hope it helps.
Still have the issue
The only thing we have found now is if we open Adobe reader first and open all other pdf from the open menu its is fine and fast, we get the issue when we douible click the PDF to open it
cheers

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update

Simple nuisance really - I had Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update installed when I first received the notification. It successfully installed, so I believe when I select the About menu item and it indicates such.
Why then, every week since then, I get an update notification for Adobe Reader 11.0.03. I installed it every time for the first couple weeks thinking it was a valid update and not paying attention to the release number. The release number has been 11.0.03 for quite a while and I now realize something is not right.
FWIW - Adobe Reader works fine on my machine.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
KR

If you're using Windows, 11.0.5 is the latest version (11.0.4 was a software update and 11.0.5 was a security fix)
You can download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
FIRST, you'll want to download and run the Adobe Cleaner to remove the old version. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Javascript Detection of Adobe reader plugin for Adobe version 9.0

Hi,
I'm working on a javascript utility that finds out the version of the adobe reader plugin that is installed in firefox and IE.
The firefox code works fine but I can't detect Adobe version 9.0 for IE using the following code.
     var LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION = 9;
     //Look for versions >= 7
      for (var i = 7; i <= LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION; i++){
         pluginFound = detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.' + i);
         if (pluginFound) {
            acrobatVersion = 7;
            Document.write("Adobe Version : " + String(acrobatVersion));
            return acrobatVersion;
The detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.9'); function call results in an object does not exist exception at runtime despite the fact that I have adobe reader 9 installed on my machine. So I assume that the name of the object has been changed for Adobe 9.
Ihave been googling for most of the afternoon to try and find the correct object but no luck so far. If anybody knows the name of the object for adobe reader 9 and wants to let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone !
I have a similar problem... I am currently using both, Safari(5.1) and Firefox(10.0), please don't judge me Runnin on OSX Lion 10.7.2
I recently installed a plug-in for PDF files on Firefox called Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin (recommended by mozilla.support.org) since I was unable to open PDF files without downloading them, then open them with Preview.
I was really satisfied, works great, although i had to make some adjustments to get it started !
Unfortunately, when I switch back to Safari, the plug kicks in. Now, as I remember, Safari has a "built-in" Adobe Reader plug in and it work just fine.
My Question is: Is it possible to affetct the Schubert it PDF Browser Plugin for Firefox and keep Adobe for Safari ? Otherwise, I would almost prefere to have AdobeReader for both of them, since i have good experience with it.
Thank you in advance

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Multiple Adobe Reader versions on Windows 7

HI
I am trying to find out if there is a way we can have 2 versions of Adobe Reader running on the same machine
We have over 15000 machines that are running an older version of adobe that needs to be there for certain programs to work but also need to be able to install
v10.1.4 on the same system
Is there a way to get the Installer to install in another location, is there certain files we could extract that will allow multiple versions to run side by side
Thanks
Mo

The offline installer (http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/) will allow installing to a different than the standard location, but that still will not allow to have multiple versions installed.
You can, of course, keep an older version of AcroRd32.exe somewhere, but it would have to be invoked manually, not through a function call or file association.

Sequencing Adobe Reader

discovered that v-Adobe Reader fails to open a particular report from a web page.
Locally installed Reader works well.
I sequenced AR 6 month ago following the instructions on APPV recipes site (one of well known).
Before starting a new sequencing I would like to ask a suggestion/s.
I found instructions on Adobe site (updated Dec 2014). Can somebody review if all this should be done because they refer to appv 4.6 and I am running 5 sp2 HF5.
The most important for me points are 2, 19 and 26. Sure that we don't have Q: but PVD that I place on C:\Folder
The original link to official Adobe APPV deployment is here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/appv.html
My goal is to make fully enabled READER. Probably, before clicking I finished I will double check all preferences.
Thanks.

--- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis

I'd recommend that you don't follow that recipe as there's a lot there that's App-V 4.6 specific BUT, having said that, point # 32 is still relevant (setting bUpdater to 0)
Also, see this - https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900929

"Allow fast web view" Option in Adobe Reader

Hi Experts,
Is there any chance "Allow fast web view" option in Adobe Reader can be controlled through Documaker settings? Documaker version is 11.1.
(Adobe Reader, go to Edit --> Preference ---> Internet ---> check/uncheck the option "Allow fast web view". )
In our case, Documaker generated PDFs are being downloaded by users using browser (IE 7/8/9). "Allow fast web view" option is causing issues in some IE versions. As of now we are manually un-checking the Adobe Reader option in every signle machine as and when issue occurs.
Regards,
Sruthi

Thank you for the reply..
I have tried the option in 11.1, 11.3 & 12.1 versions. As specified in printer reference, SortBatches option is not included in INI. Still no luck. PDF is by default taking the property from Adobe reader (version XI in my case). Any other INI changes will be required?
Regards,
Sruthi

Barcode size problem in different adobe reader versions

Hi,
In one of my requirements of Adobe form, I am displaying barcode for a value. The problem is of size of barcode which varies on different machines based on Adobe Reader version.
On one machine 'Adobe Reader' version 9.4.0 is installed and on other machine 'Adobe Reader X' version 10.0.1 is installed. The barcode is displayed in correct size in version 10.0.1 while only half barcode is displayed in version 9.4.0 when value of the property 'Data length' is set to 10 (which is default).
If I set the value of same property to 26 in order to fit the barcode in specified space in version 9.4.0, same barcode is displayed in half size in version 10.0.1.
Kindly give suggestions.
Regards.

You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
Here's what I suggest you do now.
Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.
