Adobe Reader X - cannot view local PDF's fully or web PDF's at all

I have downloaded Adober Reader X onto my Windows XP IE v8 PC, yet I cannot fully open any PDF documents. On local PDF's I can see part of them, scroll up and down them, and print them though. When looking at local docs I can also see the desktop behind where the toolbars should be; no toolbars are visible.
For PDF's through IE, when I try and download the PDF I just get a black screen where the PDF should be.
I have tried uninstalling (reader and acrobat), re-installing, clearing temporary internet files, all to no avail. Any ideas as to what the problem (and solution!) might be?

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
The problem:
The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
More details from ProcMon
After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
Help is more than welcome.
Thank You

  • Adobe Reader 8 - cannot view videos in pdf file

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Reader 8 and cannot view any videos contained in a pdf file. I also have Flash Player, Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player. I am connected to the Internet.
    Does anybody have an idea why the videos will not play? Do I need to buy Adobe Reader 9?
    I'd be grateful for any help.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe reader. Cannot view or download web .pdfs: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.5

    I have followed the help intructions: Adobe Reader preferences>Internet> Web Browser Options.  But the 'Display PDF in browser usng' box is not highlighted  (i.e. it is selected but cannot be used).
    This has happened since I downloaded the latest Reader update to 10.1.3

    Managed to find an answer here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4326160#4326160#4326160
    although it didn't quite work in the same manner for me (the 32 bit mode was unchecked, so I checked and unchecked it again).
    What is also new is that the .pdf cannot be saved through Safari but can by the .pdf save icon.
    Thanks to Shashi!

    Correct AnswerRe: Adobe 10.1.3 fails to open pdf in Safari 5.1.5
    Hi David,
    Please note that if you are using OS X 10.6.x, then you'll need to run Safari in 64Bit mode. You can do the same by
    1. Go to Applications, Command+Click on Safari to open the Context menu.
    2. Now click on Get Info
    3. From the new window that appears, Uncheck "Open in 32-bit mode".
    This is because on OS X 10.6.8, Safari 5.1 in 32-bit mode is not supported. Refer to release notes for more details about systems requirements changes.
    If above information was not helpful,
    Please let us know your OS version and whether this issue happens with all PDF files or with any specific file?
    Also try to "Reload" the PDF in safari when grey window appears by pressing "Command + R"?

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

    Hey Joseph Curcio,
    You might be viewing the PDFs in your browser only where Adobe Reader plug-in is disabled.
    Please try opening the PDF file using Adobe Reader and then check.
    Let me know in which browser are you trying to view the PDFs so that I can help you out enabling the required plug-ins.

  • Adobe reader XI-cannot edit text, spacing,layout.....

    adobe reader XI--cannot edit document scanned in from cannon pixma nor from email

    Correct. Reader can't edit PDF files. It can't even create PDf files, so you must have used the software that came with your scanner to do that.
    You should scan your documents to another format, like PNG or TIFF, edit them in a photo editor, like Photoshop, and then convert them to PDF using an application like Acrobat.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF.  I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Do

    Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF.  I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Document then it crashes with the message that Acrobat is not responding.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several times.  What should I do?

    Hi,
    Could you please let us know if you are using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader? If so, can you please temporarily remove the same and see if you are facing the same issue.
    If you are not sure about the same, please do the following:
    1. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
    2. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
    3. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    Also, it would be great if you could let us know if the issue is PDF specific or does the issue happen with all documents. Do you observe the same issue with the below mentioned PDF as well:

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

  • Define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry

    Is it possible to define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry?
    I need to add the folder path our docuemnt managment system uses for its temp directory.
    Thanks

    I modified the transform file I use to deploy reader via group policy with the adobe customization wizard and specified the desired privileged locations.
    I then did a test deploy of reader to a workstation and adobe reader 11.0.02 was installed.  None of the privileged locations I defined in the transform are showing up as being defined in the GUI and they are not in the registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\TrustManager\cTrustedFolders I used filemon to figure out where reader was writing to in the registry.
    I don’t know if there are issues with certain parts of the transform being ignored when installing the software. I have noticed that if I install adobe reader via the command line and apply the transform, the installer completely ignores the transform but gives no errors.

  • Adobe Reader X cannot respond to printer properties number of copies issue

    Hi to all!
    I have an issue using Adobe Reader X 10.0.1, 10.1.0, 10.1.2, when select File > Print > Page Handling: Copies = 1, click Printer Properties > Page Setup, specify eg. Copies : 5, it print 1 copy only instead of 5 on Windows platform.
    Happen to a number of printers, eg. HP, Epson, Xerox, Canon, Brother printer, etc.
    For some reason, Adobe Reader X cannot respond to the No. of copies specified in the printer properties.
    Anyone have any solutions or workarounds to solve this issue besides specifying Adobe Reader X : File>Print>Page Handling: 5 copies?
    Is there any website, forum, supporting documents, with regards to above scenario?
    Please kindly advice, thank you in advance!

    Hi LoriAUC,
    Sorry for the late response!
    The users had a habit of going into the printer properties to specify other printer options eg. 2-sided printing, manual feed printing, heavy paper, etc... besides the number of copies inside the printer properties as well. Therefore, they prefer to do all the various changes in the printer properties instead of changing it at the Adobe Reader dialog.
    The same method were applied by all the users in Adobe Reader 9.4.7 and there were perfectly no issue at all! All the network printers (23 different brands and models in the network) responded to the printer properties "number of copies" accordingly.
    It seems that Adobe Reader X dialog Page Handling: No of copies, cannot synchronise and recognise the "No of copies" specified in the printer properties. This symptom was tested and found to be the same behaviour for different printer manufacturers. Wonder if there is a bug with Adobe Reader X as this issue did not occur for Adobe Reader 8 and 9 versions. The users were using Reader 8 and 9 versions before and there were no complaints until it was eventually all upgraded to Reader X, starting from 10.0.1, 10.1.0 and now 10.1.2.
    What do you think could be the cause?
