Adobe Reader X, No Find Results

Hi guys and girls,
I have a problem here.
I know you had this question tons of times but it is different from all the other.
When I use the Find option in Adobe Reader X it comes out with no result, I am 100% sure that the word is in the document since i can see it.
The PDF is not scanned and so no image. Alse the text is selectable and copyable.
Could it be something in the options?
OS = W7 Enterprise SP1 64bit
I hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I just found out that it is NOT related to one of the options.
The person with this problem send a copy to me and I am able to use the Find option with succes.
Is this fixable or is it a problem we just have to accept the way it is?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Adobe Reader for mobile search result is INCORRECT.

Adobe Reader for mobile search result is INCORRECT. It is inconsistent with the search results from other PDF reader apps.
I have a spreadsheet file converted into a PDF. Doing a search on the document using a Adobe Reader on a PC shows 14 search results. Opening the same document on the Google Drive app also shows 14 search results. But when opening the same file to the Adobe Reader for Android, it only shows two results. (See screenshots (left/first is from Adobe Reader for Android)).
My device is an Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4.

Hello Mehwish,
It seems that Adobe Reader for mobile has issues only to this file. I have not thoroughly tested it with other PDF files though, but just this 1 out of the 5 files I have tried had issues. Attached herewith is the file I used the search with. Sent a copy to your email [email protected] too.
Note that the file was made from a spreadsheet in a PC and then saved as PDF from the same spreadsheet application.

Hi,
Do you observe the issue with all your pdf files? Would it be possible for you to share one such file with [email protected] so that we may investigate?
Thanks,

Adobe Reader - Need to find a 3D PDF Tools Quick Reference Guide - HELP!!!!

Where can I find a QRG or even detailed instructions on how to use the 3D PDF tools. Showing hotkeys, mouse usage such as "to rotate an object hold down the left mouse button and move cursor".
I have not been able to find anything useful on the web or help menus. Any suggestions?

I don't know what "3D PDF tools" you are referring to, but it's definitely not something available in Adobe Reader.
Maybe you can start at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat3d.html

Using the Adobe Reader Distribution Agreement link results in an error 404

I have a current Distribution Agreement for Reader etc but the link to download Reader results in an error 404 - Sorry, this page is not available.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the response. I would have posted a link but as part of the distribution agreement it is not to be shared/posted.
I already have a current distribution agreement so the Volume distribution page does not help.
From the Enterprise Toolkit Home I accessed ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ and was able to download from /pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/en_US so thanks for the link.
Still does not fix the 404 error though on the distribution download link http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/runtime-distribution3.html#?????-???? (sanitised).

Adobe Reader XI crashes when using find (command F)

I have a Mac with intel 10.9 and Adobe crashes everytime I use find. I get the pinwheel loading symbol and then Adobe ALWAYS crashes. Is there a way I can fix this?

This problem has not been addressed for a long time. Every time it happened, I reported it. Each time I had to start activity monitor and force quit Adobe reader. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and the problem persisted
I did find a bypass.
Open the Applications folder
Select Adobe Reader
Right click and move Adobe Reader to Trash
Find a PDF file in the finder and double click.
The PDF file will open in Preview and the Find command will work.
I will check back periodically to see if Adobe had fixed the problem. So far I have not found any feature unique to Adobe Reader that I cannot live without

Adobe Reader 9.4 won't allow saving-copying-printing of data entered into form fields.

Hello, all. I own a fully automated Continuing Education website with a national customer base. The release of Adobe Reader 9.4 has brought a major problem for us which we haven't been able to overcome, and it's a critical issue which will destroy our business if the problem continues.
The problem: Our professionally licensed website users earn online, instantly downloadable Continuing Education certificates in PDF file format, which are auto-generated by our software program when the user has successfully completed a course and its quiz.
Each certificate is a template created by Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 which contains the boilerplate course goals, credit hours earned for the course, plus all of our educational approval numbers needed to conduct business in each state. THE PROBLEM HERE is that these generated certificates ALSO have form fields which are auto-completed by our system when the user successfully completes his or her course - i.e., the user's name, his license number, and the date and hour and minute of completion. Until some of our customers began to use Adobe Reader 9.4 on their PC this past week, the certificate generation process has performed flawlessly - for over 3 years now, for over a thousand customers - the only exception being the occasional MAC user who needs to download the correct version of Adobe Reader, and to use the correct browser.
Beginning last week, site users who have downloaded 9.4 can no longer SAVE their Continuing Education certificates to their computer with their name, license and date and time of completion showing on the certificate.   And they can't even print the certificate correctly - their name, license, and date of completion appear as blank lines. They can't download or email the certificate with the critical form field data showing on the document. This is a devastating situation for our business and for the users - who certainly won't return, and are demanding refunds.
In fact, I (who installed 9.4 last week) discovered that I can't even download and save an intact copy of a customer's certificate from my own website, OR copy and paste information from a client's generated certificate in order to manually create a certificate for him or her. The on-screen message tells me that I am not allowed to do this with this document .... despite the fact that I was the creator of the document. Needless to say, when I un-installed 9.4, I had none of these problems.
Customers wouldn't have problems either if they uninstalled 9.4 - but you can't tell customers who call in to complain, to uninstall their Adobe Reader program and find something else. They also have to use Adobe Reader to view over half of the courses we offer, and they need to be able to work with them effectively with no problems.
In the past, because of occasional Adobe Reader problems of a different sort, we could tell customers to use Foxit or Nitro PDF if they had Adobe issues. But that was back in the day when there was no competition in running an online CE website. Now there is plenty of competition, and customers will just go elsewhere before they will try to reconfigure their computer just to stay with our site.
I will bet that hundreds (thousands?) of other online businesses who work with system-generated form fields in PDF documents have been similarly affected.
Is there a solution here? Surely this was an UNINTENDED result of Adobe's upgrade to 9.4.   Is there something that we can do at our end to eliminate these issues? There are NO security protections or limitations imposed on these certificate documents. And we CANNOT eliminate the form fields that are filled internally when the customer passes t the course. Date and time of completion and all the rest are required by all of the States which license us. Many thanks!

That was it!
Thanks

Adobe Reader and McAfee ?

Hi.
I indeed feel it so boring, that every time I do service on a computer, or install the Adobe reader, that I find, that McAfee also will be installed, IF you do'nt read the screen picture from Adobe very carefully.
What's the result ?.
Having 2 security systems running on the same computer !.
Why is Adobe making this culprit ?
It's SPAM you deliver!

It is actualy the download manager, not Adobe Reader, that brings the unwanted software to your computer.
Download location without DLM are published daily in this forum, e.g. http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ - there is no need to install any additional software.

Ploblem for plug-in in Adobe Reader X

We have developed plug-in for Adobe Reader (Adobe Acrobat) in windows OS a couple of years ago.
Before Adobe Reader X it works well. But it doesn’t work correctly in the Adobe Reader X.
we find some issues following :
1. the API ::GetActiveObject return E_ACCESSDENIED.
the code like this:
ICBGrabROTPtr pXDictGrab;
HRESULT hr = pXDictGrab.GetActiveObject(__uuidof(CBGrabStub2));
hr = E_ACCESSDENIED
2. SendMessage/PostMessage to other process, the target process can't receive the message.
Any tips to slove the problem are very thinkful.

Insufficient data sent error in Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X

I have an issue that is happening with several users that I support. It is only happening in a specific program that they use. When they open PDFs, they get the message insufficient data sent and then a blank document opens. I noticed that this seemed to be an issue a couple years ago, but it was apparently solved with recent releases of Adobe reader. I have installed and set up Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X, but the results are the same and very intermittent. It can happen when trying to open a document and then not happen 10 seconds later on the same doc. The company that provides the online program blames Adobe. Where do I proceeed from here?

Hello,
unfortunately it's a reserved document. I'll try to reproduce the issue with a different design and, if possible, I'll post a link to it.
Thank you!
Best regards,

Default PDF viewer in Safari... removing Adobe Reader

I recently installed Adobe Reader because I find it easier to mark-up documents than in Preview, and now it is the default viewer in Safari. I have tried to change this, but the help I have found on the internet isn't working... there is no internet plug-in (that I can find) to delete, and the preferences in Reader have the "Display PDF in browser using" box grayed-out, so I can't check that either. Any advice?
Also, if you know of a better program for reading PDFs (my main problem with mark-ups on preview is that it doesn't isolate individual columns, so when highlighting, it highlights all the way across the page, as opposed to individual columns) then please share!
Thanks!

Here is the link with instructions from Adobe.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
Go to the section called "Disable AdobePDFViewer plug-in" and follow the instructions.
You must have root user privileges to change the Safari plug-ins. To display PDFs using the Safari PDF viewer, you must disable the Adobe PDF Viewer.
Quit Safari.
Log in as the root user. The root user privileges aren't enabled by default because the root user can change system files. For more information and instructions, see one of the following Apple documents: Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X or OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user.
Choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type /Library in the Go To The Folder field, and click Go.
Create a new folder in the Library folder, and name it Internet Plug-ins Disabled.
Open the Internet Plug-ins folder, and move both the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin into the new Internet Plug-ins Disabled folder.
Note:
If both AdobePDFViewer plug-ins are still in the Internet Plug-ins folder, drag them now to the trash. You may be asked for your name and password.

How can I add update information/notification of 3rd party software (like Adobe Reader) in my C# des

Hi,
I have a C# desktop application which will keep track of my installed software(in my PC). I want to make this application more smart, like when the update version of the installed software will come in internet site, the application will notify me and I can update from my C# application, without login or open website.
For example, I have installed MS Office 2013, Adobe Reader 1.1. So when Adobe Reader 1.2 comes in internet, my application will notify me and I can update that from that application.
Can anyone please answer my question, how can I do that?
Thank you !

Well, each app will be different. You will need detailed research. In some cases the process will be opaque or undiscoverable. For Adobe Reader you might find the Enterprise Deployment documentation relevant.

Adobe Read Out Loud feature not working

Anyone else run into this. We activate it, it scans the document looking for tags, then does not read it. Any ideas?

Hey there hdilios,
Just been trying to sort this one out myself, I noticed that you tried re-installing Adobe Reader with the same result.
Could it be that, when you installed the first time / updated and then re-installed, Adobe Reader Protected Mode was automatically re-applied by default. Read Out Loud will not function while in Protected Mode.
You must disable it to hear Read Out Loud document reader, it is quite safe to disable this additional security function, and the only way to make it work.
To disable Adobe Reader XI Protected Mode
- Open Adobe Reader
- Click menu item Edit
- Select Preferences
- Preference panel opens
- Select Security (Enhanced) in Categories list
- Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
- Dialog opens Click Yes
- Close Preferences
- Close/Restart Adobe Reader
- Open a document you wish to read
- Activate Read Out Loud
- Choose Option to read Page or Whole Document
- or setup for Reading with the Accessability Assistant.
Hope this is the answer you are looking for, my Read Out Loud feature is functioning fine now it had me baffled for a while, thought my sound card was malfunctioning.
Cheers Jethro

Changing language in Adobe reader

Dear sir/Madam.
The only free version of Adobe reader I could find came to me in Polish language. I can not get an english or Spanish version. I have 2 questions :
1) How/ where can I get a free version of Adobe reader, acceptable by Google Chrome ?
2) How (what are the steps ?) can I change the language of my installed Adobe reader from Polish to english.
Thanks for your time.

As a first consideration, please note that the PDF files provided with Microsoft Training materials are language-agnostic from the point of view of the Adobe Reader, that is, they don't influence at all the language in which the reader displays its interface.
So your problem must be related to the Reader itself, and not the training materials. I mention this because you posted your question in the Microsoft Training and Certification forum (and not in an Adobe support forum), so I have to infer that your problem
is related to the PDFs in training materials.
That said, I have installed plenty of times the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe download page (http://get.adobe.com/reader/), both in Spanish and in English versions of Windows, and it was always downloaded
in the language that matched the Windows configuration. But anyway, if it doesn't match automatically, there is a link in the download page labelled "Do you have a different language or operating
system?". If you click there, it will let you change the language for the Reader that will be downloaded. To change the language of your installed reader, uninstall it and then download and install the correct version.

Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.

Adobe Reader 8 + Safari 3 Incompatibility?

Ever since installing the Adobe Reader 8, I find Safari crashing every time I open a PDF within the browser. The PDF will load, I can view it for 5-10 seconds, and then Safari unexpectedly quits. After re-installing the previous version (7.x) this problem seems to have gone away.
Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, found a way to run Reader 8 without having Safari crash? Thanks.

I'm also having trouble with Reader 8.1. I can load and view PDF files just fine, but Safari 3 crashes every time I try to print. I also tried Navigator 9 for Mac and could not print from that browser either. I believe it's a compatibility issue with Reader 8 and OS 10.4.10. On Adobe's web site, they only list compatibility through 10.4.9 and only with Safari 2.0.2. I've just been using Preview to view and print PDF files. It works great.
