Adobe Reader temp files build up and stop faxing.

We use an eFax software developed by FaxBack. Recently we started faxing nightly invoices. These invoices run at approx 12:00am. There are anywhere from 100-400 faxes nightly. The fax program uses Adobe Reader 9.0 to process PDF documents through the fax server. We noticed a high volume of temp files are building up in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp. They appear as Z@S2E##.tmp. These temp files, for whatever reason bog down the applicaitons and make it unable to send out faxes, and we get failed confirmations due to a "conversion error", clear the temp files and faxing is back on track. I worked with FaxBack for a couple weeks on this and they finally said there isnt anything they can do as it is an Adobe issue and they have no control over it. As a bandaide i made a batch file to run nightly that basically stops the fax service, clears the temp files created by adobe, then starts the fax service again. The problem with this is once or twice a week this aggrivating fax software doesnt want to start the service back up so faxes just build in a queue until we manually start it back up.
I realize the fax service is the larger problem, but with times as they are a new faxing solution will not be met for some time. Is there a way to alter the path of these temp files? Perhaps send them to the recycle bin, or make is so Adobe doesn't create them?

this sounds like it could be related to the following issue:

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard Issue

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and IE9.
    I have had Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard installed on my PC for a while without any problems.
    Today, while trying to open some forms on a government website, I received the following message:
    I clicked OK to install Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and restarted my PC to complete the installation.
    Once I logged back into my PC, every single icon on my taskbar, start menu, all programs, etc. had been changed to the Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) icon below, and when I clicked on any of them, I received a message that Adobe did not support that file/application.
    The only way I was able to resolve this issue was to unistall Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) from my PC and everything went back to normal.
    Is there a way to have both Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard and Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) installed on my PC without experiencing the above issue?
    Please note that I need to have both programs, but I cannot afford to spend money to upgrade my current version of Adobe Acrobat.

    Thanks for your input Michael Kazlow.
    However, it appears that contrary to your statement, it is possible to run different versions of Acrobat and Reader at the same time.
    I have found this Adobe's article outlining 4 diffent solutions to resolve the issue I was experiencing in my original request on this forum http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86069.html
    In my particular case, I was able to resolve my issue by following the first solution in the article.

  • This Adobe Muse site file is damaged and cannot be open.

    Hi all,
    While making some edits to my muse site, my mac froze, and I waited for about 10 mins and it was still frozen--so I forced restarted my computer. Upon re-opening the file, I received the message "This Adobe Muse site file is damaged and cannot be open." I was wondering if there is any way to recover the file. I have a very recent HTML export of the site, is there a way to re-import that into a muse file? Or perhaps the file is somehow able to recover? I'm on an iMac that was just bought. It's pretty frustrating because my last backup was from two weeks ago and there have been major updates to the design of the site. At the very least, I have the latest export to copy the layout from, but my site is 50+ pages. Thanks in advance for any help.
    -Jack

    I don't have good news. The file is truncated. It's shorter than it should be and the missing information isn't something I can manufacture.
    From your description of events and looking at the information in your log file we believe you hit a rather obscure weakness in the Mac OS, or perhaps Mac hardware or the hard drives/controllers used. When an application writes to a file and requests the file be flushed to the physical media, two things occur. The first is the data is written to the physical media and the second is a table on contents on the media is updated to indicate the new length of the file. In this case it appears the Save completed successfully as far as Muse could tell (the success is reported in the log), but what probably occurred is either a very low-level OS crash and/or your restart of the computer occurred before the length of the file was updated in the table of contents.
    Unfortunately, after some time spent searching online, it doesn't appear as though there are any Mac OSX tools that will re-extend a file without altering the bytes in the newly extended area. Or at least I couldn't find any (and it makes sense for security reasons that the old data wouldn't be there when the file was re-extended). Even if there is such a tool, it's very likely other activity on your machine since the restart has already overwritten those bytes with some other file, so the missing part of the file is now gone.
    I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of any way to recover or repair your file.

    adobe reader 11.0.10  windows 7 home edition  Everything was working fine, but I got a "communication not available error" and rebooted the wifi.  The next day, when I went to print, after selecting the number of copies etc, I clicked on "print".  The next screen is the progress report   "Printing xxx.file.", and nothing happens.  The computer is completely lock and I have to reboot.  I can print excel and word files, but no pdf files, either from the internet or one of my documents.  I have tried saving the internet pages and then printing later, but that doesn't work either.  One suggestion was to go to edit, preferences, security enhanced and turn off enable.  That worked for one document ( a test) from my computer, but when I tried another file, no go

  • How do I modify an Adobe Reader pdf file?

    Hello,
    I am trying to fill out a work application that is an Adobe Reader pdf file.

    Please help,

    Ok.

    What do you mean "edited". Edited how - just typing in form fields?
    Where do you get the word count?
    > Is this hypotheses correct? the student should purchase the pdf writer in order to complete fields correctly.
    Not possible to say at this stage. (The "writer" product by the way is
    called Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, if it turns out you
    do need it..
    >I cannot find references anywhere about word count in the knowledge base or FAQ.
    From my point of view, this is because it isn't something Reader does.
    But clearly it does something - so... what does it do?

  • Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When reading PDF attachments, I get the following:  Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked.  I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do:  Note:  this application already installed.
    I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011.  I have Windows XP SP3.
    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.
