Moreover, this update is experiencing repeatedly.
Need root cause and  please suggest solution ?

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold,  it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

  • Adobe reader app takes longer to launch after update, why?

    After updating my adobe reader I have found that when every I try to launch the app it takes a significantly longer time to load then it used to. Is this the problem with the app itself or is it because I have updated my ipad to the newer ios system, ios 7?
    Thanks.

    Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.
    Android KitKat Blocks Some Access to Micro SD Cards
    You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
    We will be investigating the problem.
    To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage.  (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
    You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files.  Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
    Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
    Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1.3 Issues with browser viewing and printing

    I have several users reporting issues after upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.1.3
    Issue #1:  User tries to open a PDF on a bank website using Adobe 9.1.3 but receives an error stating file could not be found.  Adobe 9 was uninstalled and Adobe 6 re-installed.  The file on the bank website was then viewable without issue.
    Issue #2:  Different user successfully opens pdf on a different bank website, but is unable to print while viewing in browser using Adobe 9.1.3.  User had to save file to desktop and reopen locally to print from Adobe 9.1.3.   Uninstalling 9.1.3 and re-installing Adobe 6 allowed them to print from the browser successfully.
    Issue #3:  turning off "View in Browser" causes the error "File cannot be found" when trying to view a PDF on a website.  This appears to be happening on sites external to our network, but not on internal sites.  Turning on "View in Browser" corrects the problem.
    Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

    To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 .  I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
    However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file.  Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
    The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
    BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
    Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
    In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader.  In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
    However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac.  However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

  • Adobe Reader 8.1 locks up when closing a pdf

    Hello All,
    Have an odd problem.  If I open a pdf file ( with Adobe Reader 8.1) and close it, after about 30 seconds no other pdfs will open until I restart my browser.  As long as I keep the 1st pdf open, I can open as many additional ones as I want.
    With the initial pdf open I get the following when I do a ps -ef | grep read
    14924 14873  2 09:09 ?        00:00:01 /opt/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread --display :0.0 -progressPipe 3 -exitPipe 4
    After closing out the pdf, 30 seconds later the same ps command yields this & thats where it stays until the browser restarts
    14924 14873  1 09:09 ?        00:00:02 [acroread] <defunct>
    running a top -n1 shows the single zombie process and as soon as the firefox browser is shut down, everything returns to normal.  Don't see any memory issues either.
    I believe my issue is the same as listed in the bug from open suse :
    https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=363381
    How ever I cannot upgrade all of the clients to Suse 11.  Is there anything else i can do here to address my issue??

    Someone may give you and answer here, but you might have more luck in the Reader forum - this is not that forum. It really sounds like a Windows issue as you suggest, but I will let others address this.

    have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
    The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
    I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
    Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

    If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
    If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
    If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here.  Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

    I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?

    Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

  • Why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
    That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

  • Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?

    Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?
    I check my Apps on my MacBook and it says there is 1 update but when I check that there are none.
    Then I sync my iPhone with my MacBook and my iPhone says there are 7 updates for my Apps.
    This is very confusing.  I wish someone could fix this and make it simple and accurate to use.

    Sometimes the update notification comes on but updates themselves do not appear if the iOS is not appropriate for the update.  For example, I have an original iPad, thus limited to iOS 5.1.1, but an app I use has an update that requires iOS 6.1.3.  So I have a consistent update notification but cannot get the update.  So, check your iOS and see if it is up to date.

  • When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

    When I try to open the iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update, but when I click on the software update it says that all the software in the computer are up to date. I still cant open the iphoto, what should I do?

    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

  • Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

    After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

    This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
    Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.
