Adobe Reader X freezes while enumerating disk drives to save

Dear all,
We experience a problem with Adobe Reader X.
Some users, after opening a pdf, they choose "Save as" and when they click on the drop down arrow, that contains the save locations on the local PC, Adobe Reader freezes and we have to use task manager to end the process.
This doesnt happen every time, but often.
Adobe Reader X is currently on version 10.1.0. We face this problem from 10.0.x version. Latest update did not fix the problem.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you

  • Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

    I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

    There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Adobe Reader XI crashes while sending message to it

    Hi,
    I found Adobe Reader XI crashes while recieving windows message ( sent from SendMessage api) from another exe. same things used to work fine with Adobe Reader X.
    Any Idea to fix this?
    Regards,
    Arvind

    No knowledge of the problem, but I'd suggest trying to isolate the problem.
    Can you find a single specific Windows message that will reliably crash Reader XI? If so, what are the message parameters in full?

  • Difficulty downloding Adobe Reader and Error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\

    I am having a difficulty downloading Adobe reader on my laptop. For some reasons, I am getting error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\ notification. I have followed the tips on how to resolve this issue from Adobe's help and FAQ pages, but I am still not able to download Adobe reader. This issue begun short while after I installed a Tuneup software from AVG. I contacted this Tuneup company, and one of it's representative guided me through the steps on how to resolve the problem; unfortunately, the correction attempt did not make any difference. Adobe tech support team can fix my issue, but at a cost of $ 40. I do not want to pay it. Hence, I am trying to solve this problem myself. Could any one, who has the knowledge to deal with this issue, please respond to my request?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best regards,
    Peter VK Mayangi

    Have you tried both solutions on the link from the earlier poster?  Microsoft Fixit did not fixit?
    If so, you will have to search the registry manually for your invalid drive H:\
    Please post back if you are unsure what to do when you find that registry entry.
    P.S. please do not post your email address and other private data in this public forum!

  • Adobe Reader 9 freezes up my pc on 'close'

    I have been having problems in closing down the internet by using the 'X' in the top right hand corner of the screen. It would start to close, then I'd get a pop-up message stating something like"Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close," with an option below to report the fault or not report it. Whichever option I chose, once I'd clicked on it, my pc would then freeze up. Then I could not do anything; I couldn't access the Start-Turn Off Computer option as everything was frozen and the only way out was to hold the on/off switch on the hard drive in for a few seconds to make the system cut out. I could then switch it back on and start again, but the same thing would happen again as soon as I clicked on 'X' in the top-right. IE6, IE7 and Firefox made no difference; they all jammed up when closing. I tried several remedies over many hours, none of which worked until I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9 which I had only recently set up and the problem disappeared.
    Now I've got rid of the problem but I can't read anything in Adobe because I don't have it and I dare not risk installing it again. Does anyone know what has happened here? If it means anything I have Windows XP Home edition and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009.

    Thanks for your help everyone. All your replies were much appreciated, however I have now solved this myself. If you want to know how then that's my little secret although what I DO know is that Adobe Reader 9.1 really is the worst Adobe yet and I've had enough Adobe problems ever since I've had my pc, I can tell you. It's just a shame that the people who are employed to dream up these scams that will work for some but not all can't go and work in Macdonalds or somewhere, or if counting money is too difficult then maybe outside Macdonalds picking up the litter, and leave the more technical work to those competent enough to do it.
    Thanks for another problem, Adobe. Sorry to disappoint you but I've managed to solve it although I'm sure your geeks are thinking of something right now that will be even more difficult to correct.
    I've given my opinion of Adobe Reader 9.1 on Cnet. One star out of five because it wouldn't allow me to put zero.

  • Adobe Reader XI freezes computer when opened from Excel hyperlink

    My computer has been frozen multiple times after opening a pdf from a hyperlink in Excel. Sometimes it randomly freezes after reading the document for a while and sometimes it freezes when I try to close the document. I have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06, I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, and Excel 2010. The mouse will still move sometimes once things freeze up but clicking doesn't work and alt+ctrl+del doesn't bring up task manager either, so I have to hard reboot. Anyone have a fix for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The first thing I would try is to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Adobe Reader not translating print option to driver

    I'm a Connectivity Engineer for a Canon Service Provider and I've got a client who has recently update to Adobe Reader 10.4.1 on their Windows 7 64bit workstation and is having some difficulties with printing PDF documents to their Canon iPF8300s. In the Adobe print window, when you select Portrait or landscape, these settings do not translate to the Canon driver. This was not a problem with their previous version.
    The document we tested was an Arch D 24"x36" print and no matter what option they choose it always prints portrait which wastes a ton of paper. The paper roll width is 36".
    As a workaround we physically go into the Canon driver and select the option to "Rotate 90 degrees" and this seems to work. But they really do not want to have to enter the print driver to do this. They expect the Adobe Reader settings to translate over.
    the print driver for the iPF8300s is the latest version, v.4.50.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/printers/large_format_printers/graphic _arts_and_photo_printers/imageprograf_ipf8300s#DriversAndSoftware
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    What happens now when you click the link or button to print checks? Does Firefox's PDF viewer come up or nothing happens at all?
    If you need to completely disable the viewer, there is a hidden preference you can change.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''pdfjs''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''pdfjs.disabled''' to toggle its value to true.
    If you test in your original tab, does that make any difference?

  • Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

    When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

    Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Adobe reader is freezing each time I am using it this week. I cannot open and read or save documents.

    I have a Macbook Pro 2011. Adobe reader freezing.  Unable to read documents or save documents.

    Hi barbjuchua,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    If yes, have you tried to update Reader. Also, i would suggest to repair disk permission in safe mode::  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US

  • Adobe Reader XI freezes my computer when I try to print

    I cannot print any pdf files.  I am running Windows 7 and when I open Adobe Reader XI and try to print a pdf, I get the print dialog box just fine but then when I click "Print," the dialog box comes up to show print progress and at that point everything freezes.  I am printing to a wireless printer HP Deskjet 6980.  I can't even get Ctl-Alt-delete to get me to Task Manager so I have to hold down the power button and I don't like having to shut down that way.

    I have been having the same problem for weeks.  I am using Windows 7, Mozilla 33.0.3, and Adobe Reader version XI.0.09.  I saw some advice on another site that I relied on in resolving this.  You need to open the Reader, to to Edit, click on Preferences.  On the Left Hand menu, find "Security (Enhanced)" and open it. If "Enable Protected Mode at Start-up" is active, disable that.  "Enhanced Security" is likely already enabled (and you want to leave that on); if not, enable it.
    Under "Privileged Locations," make sure both options (Trust documents/Trust sites) are enabled.  Then open the box entitled "View Windows Trusted Sites."  This will take you to the browser's Security Tab.  Click the green arrow "Trusted Sites" and then the "Sites" tab that appears.  Add the relevant https://.***.com site from which you wish to be able to print *.pdfs.  (Note: It is very important the you make sure to include the secure site, i.e., https..., and not the initial www.***.com site from which you may access the secure site).  After you have added the secure address, click Add, then Close the window.  Make sure then to Click "OK" to close the Security Tab, and then scroll down to the bottom of the "Security (Enhanced)" page to which you will be returned and click OK there.  Close the Adobe Reader and any other Reader windows you may have open.
    You can now go to the secure site whose address you just entered, and download the .pdf you want.  (If you have already downloaded the .pdf on your computer from that site you can now just open it instead).  Send the print command for the pages of the .pdf page you want.  The system will hang for a few seconds (at least mine did), but then it prints.
    You may be able to go directly to the Security Tab in your browser and enter the secure site in question without going through a pdf document and it will also work but I do not know that for sure.
    Finally, I am not an expert; just another user who figured this out with a little help from others.  An expert may wish to comment further on what I have written above to provide further guidance or instruction.
    Good luck.
    Later Note:  It is possible to add a non-secure site from which you want to download and open .pdfs to the Trusted Site list.  To do this, uncheck the "Require server verification (https://) for all sites in this zone" box that appears under the listed of Trusted Sites.  As I am not an expert user I do not know if doing this represents a significant security issue but I at least do not find that is the case after running a cursory search online. 

  • Adobe Reader XI freezing and not opening docs

    I have downloaded Adobe Reader XI on my PC and now my docs won't open. It freezes in IE and I have to use task manager to end task.
    No problems before XI version.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, same issues.
    Thanks in advance!

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
