Adobe Reader X Install Leaves Some Reader 9.0 Files Installed

I just installed Reader X on a Win7 machine, and find that the Reader X install left
some Reader 9.0 files still lurking about in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\
folder (273 files in 9 folders for about 49.7 MB according to Properties).
Is it OK to just delete all this cruft, or might Reader X actually access/use some of
these files?
Thanks,
/kim

Can you download Adobe Reader X from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi
Once you have downloaded the installer, run the following command on the command prompt:
msiexec /i <path to AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi> /l*v "C:\ReaderX.log" /qb
For example if your msi file is in C:\Test then type: msiexec /i "C:\Test\AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi" /l*v "C:\ReaderX.log" /qb
If the installer fails then please post the file "C:\ReaderX.log" here.
Also ensure that your shdocvw.dll is located at "C:\Windows\System32" folder.

Aperture not reading DNGs created from some E-M5 raw files

Aperture happily read DNGs created from dpreview's Olympus E-M5 sample raw files using Adobe DNG Converter version 6.7.0.339. However, it refuses to read the raw files created by E-M5. Is anyone getting this to work? If so, how?
—Andreas

Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. Your camera should be supported by update 3.13: The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
Canon EOS-1D X
Nikon D800E
Nikon D3200
Olympus OM-D E-M5
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5
Sony Alpha SLT-A57
Download the latest from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

Adobe Acrobat 8.....Printer Description File install?????? HELP!!

When I go to print a PDF it says: AdobePDF 8.0 Printer Description File is not currently installed. A Generic PPD will be used instead.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 8 Pro but it keeps saying it. I need help, I need to make PDF for job that has to go to press.
Thanks!!

Hi,
I have had the same problem, I have made sure the ADPDF8 file is in the macintoshhd/library/printers/ppd/Contents/Resources/folder and have pointed PPD manager to see it, it picks up all the printers installed (loads by the way?) but not the ADPDF8 file - although it is in there!?!
I have to revert back to the default PPD manager to see that and then it only lists the Generics and not any PPDs for the printers installed.
Please help?

I have installed adobe flash player. I can not open the file. In plugins under tools it is not showing. It shows acrobat reader being there but not flash player. Any ideas?

Flasher Player should be listed as a plugin in tools for it to work?

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

I don't know if your on a Mac or a PC.
So you need to locate the Font cache file for Acrobat (make sure Acrobat is quit) and remove to Trash/Wastebasket.
and empty. The open Acrobat back up and the font cache file should rebuild. If your on a Mac the simpliest way is use a Utility called fontnuke and have it remove all Font caches.
Font cahces frequently corrupt as they are in constant use. Mayb Windows machines have something similar as Font Nuke.

...trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI. The message reads " Installer mis-configured." Clearly, I can't proceed. Is a new version of the installer available? I'm not having a lot of luck with downloads from the Adobe site these days. I'm not too confident about purchasing online given two bad experienes with files that are missing (dll) and now this installer problem.

Thank you for replying, Jeff. I'm running Windows 7 -- 64 bit. Also, once the.exe file downloaded, I clicked "Run."

Reader 9.2.0 Says I Have No Printers Installed

I've just installed Adobe Reader 9.2.0 on a new PC at home. When I try to print a PDF it says I must install a printer to use any print function. However, I've got several printers installed (some local, some networked) and I can see them when I invoke Reader's "Print Setup". I can also print to my printers in other applications (Word, etc). Is there a fix or an update expected? I have no problems with earlier releases of Reader on other PCs on the home network I run.

By chance I've found a workaround.
I noticed that the same bug occurred in Reader 8, so used the workaround recommended for that release.
I assigned a local printer as the default Windows printer. Reader then allows me to print so I can choose which printer (remote) on which to print.
However, it's poor that Adobe haven't yet fixed in Reader 9.0 a bug that was reported in Reader 8.

Some of my pdf files (since upgrade to Acrobat DC reader) have greyed-out blanks. How can I get rid of this so I can read what is obliterated?

I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3 as an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now some of my pdf files have greyed-out blocks obscuring the text (which I imagine is being hidden by the blocks). In some cases the whole document is illegible. What has happened? How do I get rid of the problem?

Don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared after uninstalling the programme and re-installing it. (It may have had something to do with the few preference changes I made in trying to customise the appearance to look like the previous Adobe version, but if so, I'm not clear which (one?) of them caused the grey-outs).

Adobe 5.0 PDF cannot be read in Adobe Reader 7.0

I am on Mac OS 9.1 using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 to create PDF files. Lately people have been upgrading their Adobe Reader to the 7.0 version and now my PDF will not open for them. I have a library of PDF's created by 5.0 and now they are useless. Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks
John

Your experience is better, than mine. I look after a website for a Electronics Servicing organization. I've created many PDF using Acrobat 3 - 7.0.7 (the older versions on OS9. I use OSX.3.9 on a G4-500 using 1.5 Gb of System RAM. And I uses OSX.4.5 on a PowerBook 17" using 2 GB of system RAM. Since switch to Acrobat 6 and then 7 I've never been able to have anyone view a PDF created in 6 or 7 Format. The File appears to be there and the file fize indicates it has content. Whether viewing on a PC or a Mac. If viewed on a PC all that is seen is a Blank page with no text, and if it had a graphic no graphic is shown. If however; the person on the other end happens to have Acrobat or Reader 6 they can view the Acrobat 6 Files. And If they have 7 they can see the 6 and 7 files as well as anything below. However; most of the PC viewers I deal with still use Acrobat or Reader 5. Its these viewers I find that can't view the files. I've noticed also that when you do getinfo on a Acro/Reader, or 7 File created on my computer that in the thumbnail preview, all you see is the Acrobat A symbol, or a Blank thumbnail. Opening in 7 they can be viewed. Opening in 5 (I still have a OS9 Drive and e.5.0.5 installed) all I get is a Blank page no text and no Graphics if any in the content. SO every since 6 and 7 have come out I've had to save, then optimize for Acrobat 5 in order for my readers to see the pdf's.

Adobe Reader 11.0.5 asks to save every file I open...

Every time I open a file just to look at it: When I exit, Adobe Reader asks if I want to save the file. This happens on every file I open, regardless of the source or type of PDF. It also happens when I open those files in Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 9. This has only started relatively recently. I didn't pay much attention at first, because I had other things on my mind, but now it is starting to concern me.
This reminds me of (way back in the day) when there were Word viruses going around which tried to install themselves in every Word document you opened.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how I can get it to stop?

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?
