Adobe reader, Ubuntu 12.04, problem with tab/font colors

I use Adobe Reader on Ubuntu Linux 12.04. The Reader was installed through Ubuntu repositories. The problem is that the background of inactive tabs has the same color as the text. Both the font and background use a dark grey color; see the attached image.
As you can see, the name of the file open in the inactive tab is not readable at all. Can anybody help with this? Ideally, I would like to change the color of either tabs, or fonts, to make the tabs readable. If that matters, I use Gnome Classic (without effects) desktop environment.

Ambiance theme:
cd /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0
sudo gedit gtkrc
>>>change fg_color from #4c4c4c to #000000
Radiance theme:
cd /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0
sudo gedit gtkrc
>>>change fg_color from #4c4c4c to #000000

Adobe Reader XI 11.0 problems with MS Word

I wanted to convert MS Word to PDF. Seeing it was avalible with Adboe Reader XI I clicked to initiate the conversion.
To my surprise I would have to pay for this process, a price I did not agree with.
I didn't continue the payment process.
I now have problems opening MS Word documents.
Trying to open MS Word, Adobe opens with a error basically stating the file is not supported.
I've removed Adobe Reader & reinstalled having the same problem.
What can I do to reverse this problem?
Thanks!
Steve

This means your file association is corrupted. You need to set it so that
.pdf files open with Adobe Reader
.doc / .docx files open with MS Word

Adobe Reader 9 Linux GUI problems

Hi!
I've been using Linux Mint 8 since October 2009. Before that I was using Debian Lenny. I'm trying to use Adobe Reader 9.3 for working with multiple pdf documents. I've run into some problems that didn't seem to exist when I was using it on Lenny (although it was also using Adobe Reader 9.1, so I'm not sure where the problem lies). Here are the problems...
If I have a large number of pdf's open in tabs, I can view one, but to print, I have to click once somewhere in the toolbar before the print button works - essentially I have to click twice to activate the print button. After that, I cannot activate another tab until I first click somewhere on the document window. Between all these clicks, the mouse pointer is switching back and forth between the nice and smooth Linux mouse pointer, and the ugly and pixelly pointer that Reader uses for some reason. Finally, if I have more tabs open than fit in the width of the window, clicking on the left or right arrows that scroll the tabs scrolls all the way to the very last or very first tab. It will not just move over by one tab. If there is a really, really long list of tabs, I cannot get to the ones in the middle.
Anyone have a solution for this? I cannot use Evince or other Linux-based pdf viewers due to the startling lack of tab support (really should be a common thing by now, in my opinion). I just don't want to have to juggle tons of windows.
Thanks!

I am not fully familiar with Mint, but it is based on Ubuntu ..
Update to the latest version of Adobe Reader, and re-check these issues.
TO UPDATE
Check in Synaptic that the 'partner' software repository is enabled.
At terminal type:
(if required) update your system
~: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <Enter>
install latest Acrobat Reader (for Ubuntu Linux), AND font packs
~: sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-fonts <Enter>
Then look for Adobe Reader in the applications menu (top left of screen).

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.

Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
Please advice.

Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem

Dear All,
My first post here.
I am having problem's with the Adobe Reader X integration with Firefox (v3.6.12). I have been using Adobe Reader always and it's been fine.
But I installed the new Adobe Reader X, and it integrates with firefox well, PDF document's open well within the browser.. BUT, I cannot save the PDF document from within the pdf.. I cannot click anywhere on the toolbar.. I cannot click on the pop up toolbar as well (the black one).. When i press F8, I can restore the toolbar or make it disappear.. but that's all I can do..
If I try to save the document from firefox file menu, it works.. but not from within the pdf...
This problem is also seen in IE, as well.
I have tried repairing the install and also uninstall / reinstall adobe reader X. But nothing worked..
For more info., I have been discussing this issue here > http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/534412-adobe-reader-x-available-3.html
I am looking forward to resolving this soon, because I use / read / work with hundreds and thousands of PDF, and they are extremely essential for my research work.. as some might know, all research articles are in PDF format these days..
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Cheers, fondue

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.

Adobe Reader 11.0.2 signing with OCSP embedding?

These days, I've been testing Adobe Reader 11.0.2 signing with OCSP embedding, and the following was unclear:
1. If there is CRL file in Adobe Reader 11 CRL Cache (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\CRLCache), then OCSP is not embedded in e-signature, but CRL is embedded. How can I configure Adobe Reader 11, so that signature doesn't have embedded cached CRL, but OCSP for end-user certificate?
2. Why doesn't Adobe Reader 11 display full OCSP certificate chain? Adobe Reader 10 displays full OCSP certificate chain. You can see attached picture:
Dragan

Both of these problems are also in the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015.007.20033. The first problem on the Windows 7 computer can be resolved by deleting the CRL Cache (before signing) in the following location: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\CRLCache.

Problem with Tabbing Order in LiveCycle

I have a two page form. The last field on the second page is an image field (the user can attach a graphic). The problem is it won't tab back to the first page after this field.

I, too, am having problems with tab order.
I have a two-page form created in LiveCycle Designer. There are 66 fields on the 1st page of the form, and 65 fields on page 2. When I use Window > Tab order to examine the tab order, all is as it should be (except for one thing, discussed later). However, when I go into the Preview PDF tab (or load the form in Acrobat X Pro), field 4 on page 1 tabs to field 42 (on page 1). Additionally, tabbing from field 41 on page 1 takes me to field 43 on page 2.
I can use Action Builder to ensure that the tab goes to the appropriate field, but that seems a rather kludgy way to go about it.
And that additional problem: I've got three text fields on page 1 that are of type Protected. According to the documentation, "The protected field is not included in the tabbing sequence and it does not generate events.", yet all three fields are in the tab order.
What (if anything) am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Problem with tabbed panel

I have a problem with tabbed panel...this panel has 3 columns, I copied to each of them a diffrent text (diffrent height)...I expected to obtain diffrent working area of column, for example 1st column-height 7500 px, 2nd-1500 px, 3rd-2500 px, but I received one height 7500 px, each column has been formatted to this size....below a text I have “empty space”- (it is a diffrence between working area and text area)...I put the text to the 1st column for example 7200 px height, empty space below this text is 300 px I received 7500 px of working area in this column, here the problem doesn`t exist but….2nd column i have height of text for example 1300 px, below this text i have 6200 px empty space...It should be height 1300 px of text and maybe 200 px of empty space...so the working area could have at 1500 px not 7500 px of height....I try to change it (to for example 1500 px) but it still return to the basic 7500 px height and can`t do it...The solution is to use another form like. the accordion form..but it is a row form….when you put a diffrent sized text (height) you will receive diffrent size of working area (height), you obtain 7200px text +300 px empty space=7500 working area in 1st row.. 1200 px text + 300 px empty space=1500 workin area px in 2nd row and 2500 working area px in 3rd row…everything is fine in this form…each row has been formatted to the different size of height…but I prefer to use a tabbed panel (column form) instead a accordion form.…I don`t to waste the time to correct the code in html text editor like PSPad…

Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
Thank you in advance.
Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.
