Adobe reader wont read any files, including downloads

Hi, recently my laptop (windows Vista) received a virus, and when i got rid of it, adobe reader 9 will no longer read files. It wont run my McAfee unless i run it in administrator, and wont open any files. When i tried to download Adobe Reader 9 again, the immediate install doesnt work. when i click on the alternate link, and run the file, it says Adobe Reader cannot read the file because it is either not a supported file type, or is a damaged file. any help? I am getting very frustrated with this. Thanks!

do you think i could try it without downloading the microsoft program?
Maybe if you are familiar with the dangerous practice of editing registry files. With the intaller utility, you will be able to choose what to remove. It's not going to remove anything you don't want it to.

also, do i need Adobe Reader 9 to download files? because it keeps asking me to use Adobe Reader 9 every time i try to re download it,
To read PDF files, you'll need Adobe Reader (or a third party PDF reader) yes.

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.
But I can not figure out how to select the fields and modify the pdf, so that I can save and print.
Please help,
Thanks!

> A university course expected an assignment to be completed on a pdf template downloadable from online site, a specific word count was given or penalties apply
Ok.
> however when edited with student content, the word count did not change.
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?

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.

How to read any file using external tables.

Hi folks,
I have written an application that reads a series of csv files using external tables which works fine as long as I specify each file name in the directory i.e.......
CREATE TABLE gb_test
(file_name varchar2(10),
rec_date date
rec_name VARCHAR2(20),
rec_age number,
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY GB_TEST
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION ('data1.csv','data2.csv','data3.csv','data4.csv')
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT 20000;
However I have discovered that I may not know the name of the files to be processed prior to the program being run so just want to read any file regardless of it's name (although it will always be a .csv file).
Is there a way to ensure that you don't need to specify the files to be read in the LOCATION part of the syntax.
Thanks in advance.
Graham.

Right, I have now completed this, however it's currently only working as SYS as opposed to any user, however here is a detail of the scenario and the steps required in case any of you guys need in the future ......
The problem was I needed to search for csv files on my hard-drive. These files would be stored in a series of directories (a through to z), so I needed a way to read all 26 directories and process all files in these directories.
The problem was, prior to running the program, the user would remove all the files in the directories and insert new ones, but it was never known how many he would decide to do each time.
Solution: I created a table called stock_data_directories as follows ...
create table stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no number,
sdd_table_name varchar2(50),
sdd_directory_name varchar2(50),
sdd_directory_path varchar2(100));
Then inserted 26 records like ...
insert into stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no,sdd_table_name,sdd_directory_name,sdd_directory_path)
values(1,'rawdata_a','KPOLLOCKA','C:\KPOLLOCK\A')
insert into stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no,sdd_table_name,sdd_directory_name,sdd_directory_path)
values(2,'rawdata_b','KPOLLOCKB','C:\KPOLLOCK\B');
etc...etc...
Then created 26 DIRECTORIES E.G.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKA AS 'C:\KPOLLOCK\A';
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKB AS 'C:\KPOLLOCK\B';
Then created 26 external tables like the following ...
CREATE TABLE rawdata_a
(stock varchar2(1000),
stock_date varchar2(10),
stock_open VARCHAR2(20),
stock_high varchar2(20),
stock_low varchar2(20),
stock_close VARCHAR2(30),
stock_qty varchar2(20) )
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKA
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION ('AA.csv')
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT 20000
This basically says in directory rawdata_a it currently has 1 file called AA.csv.
Then wrote a procedure as follows ...
procedure p_process_files(pv_return_message OUT varchar2)is
cursor c_get_stock_data_directories is
select distinct sdd_directory_path,
sdd_table_name
from stock_data_directories
order by sdd_table_name;
vv_return_message varchar2(1000);
begin
-- here get the files for each directory
for r_get_stock_directories in c_get_stock_data_directories loop
p_build_external_table(r_get_stock_directories.sdd_directory_path,
     r_get_stock_directories.sdd_table_name,
     vv_return_message);
end loop;
end;
then wrote a procedure called p_build_external_table as follows ...
procedure p_build_external_table(pv_directory_path IN stock_data_directories.sdd_directory_path%type, -- e.g. 'C:\kpollock\A\
pv_table_name IN stock_data_directories.sdd_table_name%type, -- e.g. rawdata_a
pv_return_message OUT varchar2) is
vv_pattern VARCHAR2(1024);
ns VARCHAR2(1024);
vv_file_name varchar2(4000);
vv_start_string varchar2(1) := '''';
vv_end_string varchar2(3) := ''',';
vn_counter number := 0;
vv_err varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
vv_pattern := pv_directory_path||'*';
SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.searchFiles(vv_pattern, ns);
FOR each_file IN (SELECT FNAME_KRBMSFT AS name FROM X$KRBMSFT) LOOP
if each_file.name like '%.CSV' then
vv_file_name := vv_file_name||vv_start_string||substr(each_file.name,instr(each_file.name,'\',1,3)+1)||vv_end_string;
     vn_counter := vn_counter + 1;
end if;
END LOOP;
vv_file_name := substr(vv_file_name,1,length(vv_file_name)-1); -- remove final , from string
execute immediate 'alter table '||pv_table_name||' location('||vv_file_name||')';
pv_return_message := 'Successfully changed '||pv_table_name||' at '||pv_directory_path||' to now have '||to_char(vn_counter)||' directories';
exception
when others then
vv_err := sqlerrm;
pv_return_message := ' Error found updating directories. Error = '||vv_err;
END;
This reads every file in the directory and appends it to a list, so if it finds A.csv and ABC.csv, then using the dynamic sql, it alters the location to now read 'a.csv','abc.csv',
It ignores all other file extentions.

I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing. After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task. What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine?

Hello
1. I am running on Windows 8.1
2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
RF still not there.
3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
Weird.
4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.

This is a file association problem. You can change the files Adobe Acrobat can open, but the method depends upon your version of the operating system. There used to be an entry in the Acrobat/Reader Faq on how to do this.
