Adobe Reader X prompting me to save changes every time I close a document! Please help

I open the PDFs and when I close it, it asks me "Do you want to save changes before closing", when there are no changes made!
This is such an inconvenience, please help to solve the issue. I tried to go to Edit -> Preferences -> Documents -> and unchecked Save settings options, but it didnt work

Thanks Pat. It so happens that I myself am the author of these PDFs. Is there something I need to change (settings etc) and rebuild these files, so the issue doesnt recur? BTW, I am using Adobe FrameMaker 11 to create the docs.
If there is a link which addresses this issue, please point me to that.
Thanks in advance....

Open PDF file with Adobe Reader - Asks me what Firefox should do - every time

Hi,
Everytime I want to open a PDF file, Firefox asks me 'What should Firefox do with this file'.
I have Open WIth Adobe Reader (default) selected and I have the 'Do this automatically...' box checked.
So it seems to me that Firefox should not ask me every time.

Hi - I don't want it to always ask; I want it to never ask.
Having said that, I changed my option setting to 'always ask' and the next time I tried to open a PDF document, the dialog box opened asking me what to do. The 'Do this automatically...' box was unchecked as expected.
I checked the 'Do this automatically...' box and now Firefox no longer asks.
Weird way to solve the problem, but it appears to work fine now.
Thanks

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

Prompt user to save change before abnormally closing the application

Hi,
I've some trouble prompting user to save change before abnormally closing the application (logging off, shutdownding machine...). I tried to use Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook() and it doesn't seem to work. Here's part of my code. Help please!!!
program print out "1" and stays in a "dead-lock" mode...
private void shutdown() {
boolean saveConfig = true;
if (saveConfig) {
System.out.println("1 ");
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
"Configuration has been changed. Do you want to save
configuration before exit?",
"Save Config"
JOptionPane.
YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Can't connect to unit. Error in Heal unit!", "Error", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
System.out.println("2 ");
if (answer == 0) {
savefileButton_actionPerformed();
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else if (answer == 1) {
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else {
return;
else {
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(itself,
"Are you sure you want to exit? ",
"Exit",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (answer == 0) {
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else {
return;
private class MyShutdownHook extends Thread {
public void run() {
shutdown();
// add shutdown hook
MyShutdownHook shutdownHook = new MyShutdownHook();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdownHook);

doesn't much matter. shutdown hooks are not guaranteed to run or be able to finish.

Adobe Reader want open - 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close'

Hello,
Idesperatelly need a help with this. Adobe Reader simply can't open and I have over and over the same information 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Obviously there is error raport created for this problem and the help I have from Microsoft is absolutelly useless. I already uninstall all acrobate and adobe programs and install adobe reader again, but nothing change. Now I stuck with some different program as temporary solution and no solution for this problem. Please if anybody have idea how to solve it... Pls heeelp!!!!

After 3 uninstall's and 3re-installs for AR 9.4 and no solutions forthcoming from the AR tech's/personnel, I have decided to go with another PDF reader that seems to be working fine. Please remove me from your e-mail listing. I tried but not successful as I still receive mail from Adobe about problems not even related to mine. During my search at adobe, I found many users with the same problem but no fix available. You would think that a update correcting these product would be in order. So again, remove me from the AR e-mail list. TU

Adobe reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close

How many other ADOBE subscribers have suffered the same frustrations as we have?
Over the last 4 days and numerous hours of frustration installing and uninstalling ADOBE 9.1 [and 7.1 and 8.1.3] to resolve the unknown cause of the current Adobe message - ."Adobe reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close" ..... without identifying the problem..... or its' cause.
Numerous error reports were forwarded to Adobe, but without response!
Unable to converse/communicate with anyone at Adobe Technical Support, it was suggested that we review Adobe Forums to see if anyone else was having similar UNKNOWN problems. Sure enough we found many subscribers [probably hundreds] suffering the same frustrations during the downloading of 9.1 upgrade AND former upgrades. We also found a band-aid solution to the UNLNOWN Adobe problem - at the suggestion of others we created and logged into a new account - a nuisance, but it works..... so far!
It makes you wonder if ADOBE ever reads what's going on. If they did, perhaps they good avert the problem/s and prevent service/subscriber discontent.
We certainly don't intend to ever download another Adobe upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "Adobe Reader X.x has encountered a problem and needs to close" has been up very many times and a variety of solutions has been suggested.
(If necessary to do a re-install then un-install and turn off protection-programs + re-boot - check the stayed turned off - before re-installing !)
Here is some of the suggestions :

Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

Ver 8 installed fine but can't get it to launch from any application. Have tried going back to earlier versions (6.1,6.2,7) but the same problem occurs.
Same error message each time:
"Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.456 ModName: acrord32.dll
ModVer: 8.0.0.456 Offset: 00020916
Tried every troubleshooting tip in the Support Knowledgebase to no avail.
Have been using Reader for years with never any problems and now I can't seem to get this fixed after numerous hours.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a free support line I can call or is it paid support only?
Thanks,
Dee

Like others my problem was Adobe Reader 8.1.2 died terribly and with a buggy stench with the following error:
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: msvcr70.dll
ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6
RESOLUTION ON XP SP2
1. Control Panel, Users
2. Create a new user account NewUser (for example)
3. Start, Log Off
4. Switch Users to the NewUser
5. Wait the mini eternity for new user to be set up.
6. Start Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 and you will see a red splash screen along with some license updating things.
7. Adobe 8.1.2 now starts fine under NewUser
8. Switch back to your regular user name. Start, Log off, Switch Users
Now a note to Adobe. Do you folks really have to make this such a frickin pain to get working? Do you at Acrobat have any idea of how much time we users blow and how much of our lives pass by while we try to re-download and work with this product? You are directly responsible for a small slow down in the world economy by this. Get the hint.... create an 8.1.3 that omits the secret code steps above.
The only thing that kept my sanity during this were nice songs on channel 86 on SIRIUS. Thank you SIRIUS.
Thanks,
Jim

Help! - Error: Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.(5/07/08)

When I download and install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 the final installation messages says it was a successful installation. All looks good, but when I try to open it I get the error message:
Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times, but with the same result.
I have Windows XP Pro, plenty of free disc space and memory.
I used to have Adobe Reader 7, and it worked perfectly. I inadvertently uninstalled it, and wish I could re-install it but that download doesnt seem available.
Attempts to fix:
Cleaned disc and de-fragmented.
Disabled antivirus software.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks, Jeff

June,
Adobe Reader 8.1.1 has been corrupted---8.1.2 is supposed to remedy this. TRY "WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY"
1. Open Browser---Type in "WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY"
2. When results appear--Look for "support,microsoft.com-DESCRIPTION OF WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY"-----CLICK
3. When page opens-scroll down to "Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility Now"
(Read instructions or not)
4. When "File Download-Security Warning" box appears--CLICK-"RUN"
5 After download completes--Open "PROGRAMS" on your computer and look for "WINDOWS INSTALL CLEANUP"--CLICK to open
6. When "box" opens--look for 8.1.1 or Adobe 8.1.1--CLICK (HIGHLIGHT)
CAUTION-----DO NOT HIGHLIGHT ANY OTHER PROGRAM---CAUTION
7. At bottom of "box"----CLICK-"REMOVE"
8. Go back to "CONTROL PANEL-ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS"--Adobe should not be there.

I have tried EVERY suggestion Adobe has made and no matter what, I get the black "Adobe Reader Installer" screen EVERY TIME!! Any suggestions to help me overcome this problem would be appreciated. BTW: I have a Windows 7 Home OS. I prefer FireFox. I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader using all the major browsers, however it does NOT matter, I am NOT able to actually install Adobe Reader, every time all I get is the black pop-up "Adobe Reader Installer" screen!!!

PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!
