Adobe reader snapshot tool

hallo
i am pretty sure that once i could use the snapshot tool to copy vector format into the clipboard (emf, wmf) when i had vector information in the pdf file.
now with acrobat reader X i always end up with pixels. i found the option to increase resolution, but metafile content would be much more helpful.
is that right or what else can i do to regain vectors for my pasting in powerpoint or other office documents.
thanks
alexander

Open Adobe Reader without Tools menu or Fill & Sign menu

Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1 (x64)
Adobe Reader XI 11.0.10
When I open a PDF file, I often get a menu down the right side of the Adobe Reader window. Usually, it is the Tools menu; but if the PDF file is a fill-in form, I get the Fill & Sign Tools menu. Rarely do I need these menus. Is there an option to launch Adobe Reader without these menus?

We ended up finding a registry key which forces this menu to come up each time:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral]
“bBrowserDisplayInReadMode”=dword:00000000

Adobe Reader highlight tool no longer filling text, just creating a line around the text

The Highlight tool in Adobe reader is no longer working as it used to. Instead of filling the text, as it used to, the tool just creates a line around the text. This makes the highlights much harder to spot.
I'm running Win 8 and using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.09.
I've attached a screenshot to illustrate. The way the tool used to work, they way I want it to, is shown by all the highlighted text in the document. The way it currently works, is shown on the first line of text , where a portion of the text has been highlighted using the tool as it works now. I just creates a yellow line around the text.
I've checked the way the highlight settings are on both the old highlighted text and the new text and they appear identical. Both the colour and opacity percentage settings are the same.
Very frustrated. Any help appreciated.

Gilad D (try67) wrote:
Very strange. I'm not sure what the reason for this behaivour is, but try right-clicking one of the previous highlights and selecting "Make Current Properties Default". Then try to create a new highlight...
Did that. No effect.

Adobe Reader X - Tools and untaggd pdf

When I try to open some of my pdfs, it says they are untagged and need to be processed. That doesn't bother me, but when I try to edit those pdfs I can only use the highlight and sticky note tools. I want to use the other tools (especially the text box tool which I use all the time). Why can't I? What do I do to fix it?

You will need Acrobat to accomplish what you've described.
Be well...

Can't open Adobe Reader XI! May not have appropriate permissions?? Need help!

Here's the deal. I noticed I wasn't able to open up my PDF files like I used to (it would suddenly pop up a window asking if I wanted to open the file using another program on my computer or the web) so I figured that the latest update might've done something wrong. I double clicked on the shortcut Adobe Reader icon on my desktop and a small window (Explorer.EXE) came up reading, "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions." I uninstatlled and then installed Adobe Reader XI three times yet everytime I click on the icon, it gives me the same message. Can anyone help me? I have Windows 7.

From an administrative account try to run the Acrobat and Adobe Reader cleaner tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then try re-installing with all virus protection turned off.

Can't open Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled can't help.

A user Win7 PC (Windows 7 Pro. x64) can't open Adobe Reader XI after turned off computer directly during windows udpate (Not finish update)
The opened error message is:
===============================================================
c:\Program Files (x86\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRD32.exe
支援映像類型所需的子系統不存在
(translate to english from google: Subsystems required to support the type of image does not exist)

Have tried.
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have same open error when opened program.
2. Used Adobe Reader Cleanup tools to clean up installed file and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have the same open error.
3. Uninstalled and installed Adobe Reader 9. It can work normally.
Now I let the user to use Adobe Reader 9 but need to solve for him. As some pdf files are needed by newer Adobe Reader version.
Please help to fix. Many thanks.

I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe. Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK ! If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

Where is located "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat XI?

When you create a form and you want the user to fill it and save it with the filled data, you have to select in Acrobat Pro the menu option "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader".
But in Acrobat XI There is no "Advanced" menu and I can't find "Extended features in Adobe Reader" anywhere.
How the hell is it done with Acrobat XI?

I'm not sure. This one in particular has changed to some extent every time since it was first available with Acrobat 8:
For future reference:
A7: Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
A7: Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter tool in Adobe Reader
A8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

The free Reader has never been capable of editing PDF files. Perhaps you used to have Acrobat?

Adobe Reader XI fails to launch after Install (Solution)

Earlier this week (5/29), I upgraded to Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7, and I experienced complete failure of the application to launch. Reinstalls were attempted as well as the Adobe Reader cleaning tools, but those processes had no effect. After doing some digging, I found the following error entries in the Windows Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Eula.exe, version: 11.0.0.379, time stamp: 0x505fc5b0
Faulting module name: nvdxgiwrap.dll, version: 8.17.12.6696, time stamp: 0x4d4a29db
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000282a
Faulting process id: 0x22f0
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce5e2f79ed2056
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Eula.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\CoProcManager\nvdxgiwrap.dll
Report Id: b7a70181-ca22-11e2-a1d5-b9e8c6ec20d2
This was triggered every time the application was started (either by opening a PDF file or manually starting the application). The culprit here is another executable that is apparently being ran by Adobe Reader XI called Eula.exe. This executable is exactly what you would expect it to be. It displays a End User License Agreement, but apparently does so poorly. To fix the issue, go to the directory indicated in your Windows Event Viewer error message (in the above it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, which is located next to "Faulting application path:" and open the Eula.exe application manually.
Read the EULA, agree to it, and you will be able to open Adobe Reader.

Hi Inayal,
That message was from May 31, 2013, several months ago. That log entry no longer exists in my eventvwr. However, I did post the specific error message above, which showed me which application the Adobe Reader was trying to launch but failed, and that is how I figured out which application was holding up Adobe Reader. From what I remember, this is the only message that displayed in the eventvwr regarding Adobe Reader.
Yes, I do have an NVIDIA driver (NVIDIA NVS 4200M). Driver version is 9.18.13.1100 (1/10/2013). However, what I believe you're seeing here is an "Access Denied" failure (code 5) which is returned by CreateProcess in the Windows API. The typical cause of an Access Denied failure is not having both read and execute permissions for the directory/executable you are trying to launch. I would check the code where you are calling CreateProcess or CreateProcessA (if this is C++, if it's something else, then that function is likely calling CreateProcess or CreateProcessA) and make sure you are getting the appropriate elevation to start the application from the Program Files directory. My best guess is that this ShellExecute is running into problems inserted by Windows Vista/7/etc. through a technology called UAC. In order to run this other executable from a system directory (Program Files), you will probably have to ask for "runas" permissions which will prompt the user to elevate your permissions to execute another system executable (this is the user that owns the EULA executable on my machine).
You can read more about User Account Control here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
Here's an example of using the "runas" verb with ShellExecute to run another executable and prompt the user for permission to execute another System executable:
In a native Win32 application the same "runas" verb can be added to a ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx() call.
ShellExecute(hwnd, "runas", "C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe", 0, 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
James

Adobe Reader XI Update failed. How to fix?

When my windows 7 64 bit computer was updated to adobe reader XI, the update function began to continually fail. I am getting the following "Adobe Reader Updater" message:
"Update Failed An error occured. Please check for updates again later. Error: 111500"
This message annoyingly pops up when adobe attempts to check for updates automatically. I also get this message anytime I manually check for updates. I have tried to "check for updates later" a million times with no luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Reader a million times. I have also uninstalled, utilized the adobe reader removal tool for removal of older versions, and reinstalled a million times. I have also tried reinstalling the older versions. Still, whether i am using version XI or an older version of Reader, I always get the above message when I request an update. Please Help!

This error means that Updater could not create download folder under C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\ARM
Most likely you have special\corrupted permissions at C:\Users\All Users level
Or some sort of Antivirus type program keeps this folder locked.
You have 2 choices
1. Fix permissions\locking issue
2. Download Updates manually and install them every time they are released - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html
If you choose later, you can disable Updater automatic modes from Edit\Preferences\Updater menu.
Good luck

Adobe Reader fails to load Core DLL

I'm at my wits end here.
For some unknown reason my Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit Dell laptop has started popping up the following message about Protected Mode.
If I choose Do Not open, then Reader just closes.
If I choose Open with PM disabled, I get:
I have Kaspersky Antivirus already installed and it has scanned my computer several times. Nothing has been found as a result of these scans. I run the full rootkit scans manually several times as well.
I've rebooted several times.
I've reinstalled Reader TWICE. I had to use the adobe Reader Cleaner tool because reader will not uninstall any other way.
I created an Administrator account just to make absolutely sure it would have the correct permissions - but I still get the message above.
What do I do now?

I don't know why this is happening to you; over the last few years that method has always worked.
Two things to try:
since you cannot even open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode via the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e2cfe2ae-d1f3-4f3c-ae1d-d4a50fe66f49
uninstall Reader XI, then download the new Adobe Reader DC from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 for win xp home edition

unable to uninstall adobe reader x 10.1.3 message received says "patch is missing?"

Run the Adobe Reader Cleaner Tool and try re-installing it again.

Adobe Reader x (10.1.3)

I am trying to uninstall Adobe Reader X(10.1.3). I am getting a message that says this patch package could not be opened. Verify the patch package exist and you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify it is a valid Windows Installer patch package. How do I manually uninstall this so I can reinstall another Adobe Reader?

Hi John:
You haven't told us of any particular reason/issues why would you need to uninstall Reader X nor of any previous troubleshooting steps already taken to that effect.
Before you tried to uninstall v10.1.3, did you try to update it to the latest and current v10.1.4? Or have you tried to "repair" your installation (either from your Windows Control Panel or from within the program) and then tried again to uninstall it?
Anyway, you may (or may not) get same result. Since the Reader Installer uses the Windows Installer technology, that's the error message you're receiving from the Windows Installer program. If you have MSI logging enabled, you can find more detailed information about the error code (probably 1635 ERROR_PATCH_PACKAGE_OPEN_FAILED) in the Windows Installer verbose log file.
This problem may occur if Registry information or files from the Installer Cache is missing, i.e. the locally cached Windows Installer package (.msi) file is missing, damaged or corrupted. If the Windows Installer registry entries are damaged, removing these entries and reinstalling the product may resolve the issue.
You can try to fix it yourself (not recommended) or you can let Microsoft fix it for you automatically. Try here:

You can also find further related information (specially when reinstalling) here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/quick-fix-install-download-reader.html
TIP: When you're done and ready to reinstall Reader X, would suggest you first run (again) the "Adobe Reader Cleaner Tool" as suggessted above by Claudio
Hope this helps - Please let us know - Good Luck!
