Adobe Reader X and Windows 7 Enterprise Memory Leak

Hi I am using Adobe Reader X with Windows 7 enterprise when reading a 8000 page document when I do a search I notice that the memory on my machine starts to creep up typically 1Mb per search this will continue to rise to over 300Mb as the document is used until it reaches a point that it freezes the machine, The only way to recover is Ctrl-Alt-Delete and cancel the task. Has this been observed by other users?

Good day,
Could you provide some additional details about both the file and your system's configuration?
What version of Adobe Reader X do you have installed? (Help > About Adobe Reader)
If you haven't updated to 10.0.3, please do so and see if the issue persists.
How was the PDF file you're searching created?  (File > Document Properties > What does the PDF Producer line say?)
Are you experiencing this with multiple files?
Have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

  • Adobe Reader 6 and windows 8.1

    i recently bought a new laptop and it has windows 8.1.  i have always preferred to use Adobe Reader 6 because i can delete pages, insert pages, etc.  problem is it won't work with 8.1.  how do i get the new adobe reader to do what i used to be able to do?

    The fact is no version of Adobe Reader (or prior to the Acrobat 6.x product family the "Acrobat Reader") can delete, insert, etc to PDF pages. The release of Adobe Reader X made the Sticky Note and Highlight annotation tools available.
    The release of Adobe Reader XI made the full set of Comment and Drawing Mark Up annotation tools available.
    If you've deleted, inserted, etc. for PDF pages in the past you would have been using a release of Acrobat, not Reader.
    If you need to "work" PDFs then you need Acrobat. The currently marketed release is "XI".
    Be well...

  • Adobe Reader X and Windows 7 64-bit

    Any idea when Adobe Reader X will be able to show thumbnails in Windows 7 64-bit

    No one who knows can speak, those that do not know cannot say anything of value. Adobe doesn't usually pre-announce new features. Knowing that Adobe Acrobat and Reader are old products past their prime, you may have to wait for the next version or until Adobe produces a 64-bit version of Reader.

  • Adobe Reader  2002 and Windows Mobile 6

    Hello,
    has anyone experience with Adobe Reader and Windows Mobile 6?
    I'm using an E-Ten M700 and the Reader (I tried ARM-Version and 2.0) installed itself perfectly but when started the loading icon appears shortly and nothing happens.
    Is the Reader no good with WM 6?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    >>> Will the pocketpc for win 2003 work on a win mobile 6 device and does it reflow PDF documents. <<
    In general, all ppc apps will run on current winmobile _ppc_ devices (must have touch screen) so, the answer is yes unless something such as a locked device disallows installing apps.
    As for reflow, that is an issue of the pdf files... they must be "tagged" in order to allow reflow on the ppc.
    The sync process attempts to tag synced pdf files, but, this will only happen on the sync pc which installed acrobat reader.
    Full Acrobat also has the ability to add tags (advanced/accessibility/ make accessible) but some pdfs may not allow tags to be added due to protection levels or those which have any tags anywhere in the document or those where the text is a scanned image.

  • Adobe Reader X and windows 7 install problems

    I keep getting an error message saying I have insufficient privileges to access a directory to install.  How do I get around this?

    You need to either install using a userid with administrator privileges, or right-click on the installer and select 'Run as Administrator'.

    What is the Reader XI version you installed?
    Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself?  If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

    Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • 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:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003

    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.

    Windows 8 reports my CD has Acrabat Adobe Reader 7 and there is a compatility issue. How do I read the CD? Thank you.

    Your CD being what?  If it contains PDF files, you should be able to open them with the latest Reader XI.

  • I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.

    I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.  I get it installed, however, when I click on the icon nothing opens.  Please help!

    Download AppZapper (it's a free trial - but once you see how it works, you'll agree it's worth the $12.95 to buy)
    Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader.app from your Applications folder onto the AppZapper window
    "Zap" the file and all asociated files.
    Close AppZapper
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    If the AdobePDFviewer.plugin or AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files are present, trash them
    Empty the trash
    Download the Reader Installer again: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    Launch Reader 11 from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement
    Reader will run properly from here on out.

  • Adobe Reader Updates and Flash Plugin for Reader.

    I was surprised to find out that Adobe Reader Updates and also Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without Admin Rights!!!!!
    I remember on Windows XP this was not an issue. I am sure I have checked the possibility of installing Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without Admin Rights and it worked...
    Now, we have some major issue...
    I have prepared Adobe PDF Portfolio for some new policy for Housing Loan, and deployed it to be open from a Web Browser. As per my testing, it worked very nice, and the Business User loved it. On Windows XP, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, the user will be guided to install it, and it works very nicely.
    Just before sending the announcement to all users, we realized that on Windows 7, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, then when the user clicks on the link to open the PDF Portfolio, then nothing happens. The browser window will open, and it will hang.
    Then we found out that on Windows 7 we have to install the Reader Flash Plugin manually, and also, the user must have Admin Rights ...
    Now, a decision has been made to cancel the work done using PDF Portfolio, and develop a simple page with links to the required documents...
    Any solution for this?
    How we can install the required plugin without the need for Admin Right?
    Why on Windows 7, the user does not get prompts to guide him to install Adobe Reader Flash Plugin?
    Tarek.

    I think I can see the reason for this. The Flash Player is separated from Adobe Reader; the system component is now used. (It appears that the "browser plug-in" and "Flash plug-in for Adobe Reader" are indeed the same thing, loaded from the same system location).
    Adobe are following recommended practice. It is right and proper that software is installed by the administrator. This then means that the non-administrator end user is protected from malware which attempts to change that software for bad reasons.
    Nobody wants to walk round installing 1000 copies of software. Personally, I'd draw the line around 5 copies. Above that, software designed for bulk use is deployed centrally using enterprise deployment tools.
    There are even more powerful reasons to do this today, as security updates should be installed almost immediately, and end users won't bother. Generally, the tools are standard, but the vendor adds support for deploying software in these standard frameworks.

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?

  • Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
    But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
    Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

    Windows Vista.
    I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.
