Adobe Reader X and *.pps files

Dear Sir or Madam:
With the recent Adobe Reader upgrade (?) to Reader X, I have encountered a problem attempting to open previous received *.psa files as well as those received after the upgrade.
When attempting to open the file, the following error message is received:"Adobe Reader could not open *.pps because it it either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was't correctly decoded.) I have attempted to Repair the Reader twice, without success. Also, one of the recommendation is to "Enable 3rd Party Browser Extensions" under Internet Options, Tools, Advance Settings. This requirement is enabled.
What is the solution? When Adobe provides an update, they should send a workable upgrade and not one that wreaks havoc on a clinet's computer.

Thank you for your reply. Your response answers my question. The only
remaining item, I could open emailed Power Point and Photo Album files me with earlier versions of Adobe Reader? I will attempt removing Reader X and download an earlier version from Adobe's web page.
Once again, thanks.

Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
(0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
anything at the moment.
Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?
Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

It seems my free adobe software was automatically updated to Adobe Reader DC, and since then I can't open PDF files within various emails from other websites - just gives me a black page which says its loading, then finally an error message saying adobe i

Not sure if this question is even posted anywhere. Don't know what to do next?

Hi Angelete,

Please follow the below steps :-
Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab, and select Show Processes From All Users.
Select any Adobe Reader process, and click End Process.
Repeat for all additional Adobe Reader processes.
Restart Windows & try to view the PDF's.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

How do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

how do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.

Adobe Reader does not recognize file name (filename10.5.11.pdf) but does in Adobe Standard 9. Why?

I post documents to our Intranet site and found out recently that Adobe Reader does not recognize certain file names in PDF files. For instance, when trying to open a PDF file with the name
filename10.5.11.pdf in Adobe Reader, the web browser will not open the PDF and the display is blank.   When I'm using another computer with Adobe Standard 9, I do not have a problem opening the file.
I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and why Reader will not recognize the file name and Standard does.

The version is Adobe Reader 10.1.0    I will request the latest version
and let you know if that fixes the problem
Actually I had changed the name of the file so our associates could access
the file (changed the . to a hyphen) It still made me wonder why Reader
wouldn't open it at that time.
Thanks again for you assistance and I will let you know if this resolves
the issue.
Regards,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Thanks for providing the information.
Could you also let me know what is the exact version of Adobe Reader on
your system. You can check the same y clicking on Help > About Adobe
Reader X.
In case its not 10.1.1, please try updating to the latest version and see
if the problem persists.
Also, does any other PDF with a different filename open in Internet
Explorer correctly?
Thanks
Ankit

Problems with opening Adobe Reader 9 or pdf files

Hi,
Can someone please help me resolve this problem? I had no problem using Adobe Reader 8 but since removing Adobe Reader 8 and download the updated Adobe Reader 9, I cannot open any pdf files or the Adobe Reader 9 (on desktop) without receiving the following error message:
"Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close". I tried several times to download and reinstall Adobe Reader 9 without any success. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for coming back to me. Remember when I've received the error message previously "Error 1327. Invalid Drive: E:\", I've decided to try inserting my flash drive into the E drive (since I've downloaded the Adobe file previously from my flash drive to my desktop pc) and then try removing the Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and it works!!!! I am now working with the earlier version ie. Adobe Reader 8 which works fine. I would like to try again to download the Adobe 9.3.4 but have previously tried 3 times and failed. What else can I try to do to download, install and run this latest version without experiencing the same problem over again? Thanks.

Hi noswam123,
If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.
Best,

Deleting Adobe Reader 8 and 9 after Upgrading to 10

I upgraded several months ago but noticed that Adobe Reader 8 and 9 are still in my Adobe folder under programs. Can I delete those folders/files or does Reader 10 need them??

The standard advise is to rewmove all traces of previous versions of
Reader before proceeding to a new install. If the previous versions have
not been removed, the standard advise is to remove all trace
s of Reader (all versions), and then rein
stalling the one you want. To eliminate
Reader, you can follow the procedure described here:

Internet Explorer ONLY passes parameters to Adobe Reader plugin for hosted files, not local

WORKS:
<embed src="http://host.com/test.pdf#page=5"/>
FAILS:
<embed src="test.pdf#page=5"/>
Both code snippets above work when the HTML file is hosted (IIS / Apache). My web-app needs to be able to run from a USB memory stick and work with IE9. The #page param is required for a core feature of the app.
Parameters after the # are passed correctly to the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox for offline files, eg: file:///C:/test.htm. The documentation only describes hosted examples: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
I have tried the <object> route as well with similar results, eg: http://pdfobject.com/
I have burned over 8 hours looking for a solution. I have tried any logical settings in Adobe Reader X, and with the security zones in IE. I am not very familiar with IE security zones, but I suspect it could be related to my issue. I can specify the end-user change any browser or plugin settings as an acceptable solution.

I am developing a hybrid web-application that needs to work both offline (entire website) and in a hosted environment. A key part of the product is displaying PDF's with a dynamic index outside of the PDF. This allows us to use PDF's collected from hundreds of contractors, clients and manufacturers and combine them into one searchable product with a consistent interface. I can specify product requirements including IE browser settings, installed plug-ins etc. I am not trying to cater to a wide audience such as everyone online, but a specific one that is spending $5k-30k for a custom resource.
I expect the limiation is due to a wide cast net regarding security. I tried every setting in IE and essentially fully disabling all security options did not resolve it.
I found a solution, by accessing the ActiveX object directly you can use the exposed classes described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=IAC_API_OLE_Objects.103.167.html
Javascript:
var pdfO = document.getElementById('pdfObj');
pdfO.setCurrentPage(pageNumber);
HTML:
<OBJECT id ="pdfObj" data="test.pdf" TYPE="application/pdf">
<a href="test.pdf">Fall-back code</a>
</OBJECT>
This actually works much faster as well, since the plugin doesn't need to be re-drawn in the DOM

I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

Adobe reader X and XI search don´t find text like other programs including adobe reader 9? Thanks

Adobe reader X and XI search don´t find text like other programs including adobe reader 9? Thanks

You mean, you are trying to search text in a PDF file, and you can do it in Reader 9 but not in later versions of Reader (using the same file)?

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it with Microsoft Office

I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message: "There was an error during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

I'm having a similar issue. The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message. If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue. This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server. I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

Print as Image changes between Adobe Reader ver7 and ver8+

Hi,
We have customers that upgraded to Adobe Reader ver8+ and are now experiencing printing issues with our printer driver (operating system is Windows XP/Vista). When they use Adobe Reader ver8 and above to print their PDF files, with "Print as Image" option selected, the print output is smaller. It looks like the latest version of Adobe Reader output the images using a square DPI. Our printer (line matrix) does not handle square DPI (for example: printer resolution are 120x48, 120x72, 120x144, and 180x96).
Our printer driver just takes the output from the Microsoft print spooler and just encapsulate it with our printer language. We don't do any image manipulation. So, I would like to know was there a change in the way Adobe Reader version 8 and above create the output image? If so, is there a backward compatibility switch our driver can issue during the printing function?
I tried talking to Adobe Tech support (bronze support), but they only handle end user issues. Is there a tech support option that I can purchase that will allow me to get to the root of this driver compatibility issue? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Adobe doesn't apparently care. I get this problem all the time on our work network. There's a lot of questions in this forum and elsewhere on the internet.
The best answer I've seen is that there's something wrong with the PDF or you don't have the right font, or you did something wrong, or here try this ridiculously complicated workaround. I wish they would just fix their program!
Suggestions: go through all the "standard" things like updating printer drivers, printing the document as an image, updating Adobe (yeah, like "it works now" is a new feature in the latest version), etc. It's possible that could fix the problem. Otherwise, wait until Adobe releases a version of Reader that doesn't have this issue.
