Adobe Reader not displaying online bill properly?

Good afternoon,
Since June 2013, Adobe Reader began displaying one of my online utility bills with overprinted, reverse-oriented alphanumeric characters, over top of some portions of the bill, when using Firefox browser (v23). Adobe Reader version is current (v11). Using Win 7, 64-bit computer. Adobe Reader displays the bill correctly if I switch to the IE10 browser. Other utility bills (which use Adobe Reader to display them) are displayed correctly when using Firefox or IE10.
I've contacted the utility company's IT department, and although they say other customers are experiencing this same issue, there is no problem on their end.
* I've included a screenshot below of what the bill looks like for your reference.
My question: What is causing this problem and how can I resolve it?
Thank you for your time and any information.

That appears to be opening in Firefox's PDFJS viewer, and NOT with the Reader Plugin. The toolbar is a dead giveaway. The PDFJS viewer is not a good viewer. Here's how to disable it and use the Reader plugin instead.
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that choice because I also have Acrobat Pro installed, and it's my default app for PDFs)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

How do I run Adobe Reader to display pdf files in Windows 8?

I'm confused! Where is the executable for adobe pdf reader in windows 8? I want to launch it from powershell to display a pdf file. It used to be trivial in windows 7 but now the adobe pdf reader is an app and I cannot find the executable using the task
manager.
Can someone help me launch it from cmd.exe or powershell_ise to display a pdf file?
I just downloaded and installed the Adobe PDF reader and I cannot execute the reader c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe. I get no error messages and no GUI display. What is going on?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Hi,
As far as I know, that Windows 8 has a reader by default, it seems like it is Microsoft Reader. It could used to read PDF file. And I have not ever use powershell to manage to use it.
The PDF reader is a Modern UI app; we cannot run Modern UI apps on the desktop. So I don't think powershell could manage it.

Installing AcrobatPro after removing Adobe Reader Safari displayed pdf urls only as a black page anymore

After installing Acrobat Pro it installs in Library/Internet Plugin-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin version 11.0.03. Allthough after selecting a PDF-link it leads to a displays it not in Acrobat Pro, it diplays it as a black page in Safari. When I have a look in Acrobat Pro into the preferences/internet/webbrowser-option/PDF to show inBrowser with: isnt checked! And there is still listed/Application/Adobe Reader.app instead of /Applikation/Adobe Acrobat Pro!!
There is no way to select this Applikation. Having a look at Lbrary/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist listed:
AdobePDFDriver file://localhost/Volumes/Sicherung%20laptop/Applications/Adobe/Adobe%20Acrobat% 209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/
ReaderInstallPath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
WebBrowserUsePath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
Has anyone changed the ReaderInstallPath file or WebBrowserUsePath file to the path of Acrobat Pro and as a result a good diplay of PDF-urls in Arcobat Pro or Safari??
Thankx, I hope my english isn´t to bad for a german apple-user!

Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?

Adobe Reader 9 Displaying Issue

Hi All,
Right now I am using Adobe Reader 9 to display on the web page. While displaying the dynamic contents, its displaying Vertically.
Note :
1 . The page I have designed with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
2 . The page is portrait format.
3 . When I click the "Highlight Field Button" the text seems fine (i.e. Horizontally).
4 . I have to use this on the IE web browser.
I have written a javascript code to disable the "Highlight Field Button", it worked fine for me. But I think its not a permanent solution to this issue.
Could anybody tell me how to remove this "Highlight Field Button" from the Adobe Reader 9? (either by writing a script or by disabling from the Adobe Reader 9 features or any special things I need to consider)
If there is a problem understanding the issue then please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Pranabesh

Image 1 : Its a portrait view of the form, where the text in the fields are showing properly (Horizontal Orientation.)
Image 2 : Its a lanscape view of the form, where the text in the fields are showing properly (Vertical Orientation.)
Issue :
Why the texts are being transformed to verical manner while showing on the landscape forms?
Note :
1 . The page I have designed with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in landscape orientation.
2 . When I click the "Highlight Field Button" the text seems fine (i.e. Horizontally).
3 . I using this form on the IE web browser.
4 . If I disable the "Highlight Field Button" the texts are back in their original orientation. But this is not a permanent solution to the above issue.
Could anybody tell me how to make the text visible in its original orientation i.e., Horizontally?
If there is a problem understanding the issue then please let me know.

Adobe Reader X Display Preferences on Terminal

We use both Adobe Reader 9 an 10 on several Terminal Servers. We had performance problems until i found this link in Adobe KB:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/887/cpsid_88761.html
The solution works fine with Adobe Reader 9.
On Terminal Servers where Adobe Reader X is installed there are different Registry Keys. So is there a solition working for Reader X ?

Try one of the following:

Bug in Adobe Reader when displaying lines?

Hi there!
I'm creating a complex document with Apache FOP, using tables with visible and hidden borders. Although, all lines have the same attributes, Adobe Reader renders them in different thikness. In the FOP forum, there has been a lot of discussions about this issue. Conclusion is, that it is not supposed to be a FOP bug. Some other readers render the created documents well. You might want to read about it here: http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Cell-border-rendering-error-thicker-with-number-co lumn-spanned-tp17999p37229.html. Displaying on screen, it is possible to avoid this by not using "Enhance thin lines". However, printed documents allways show these lines in different thikness. To avoid this being a FOP bug, there is a simple example document, producing the bug with Adobe Reader. It can be found here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-fop-users/201211.mbox/raw/%3c5095C97A .[email protected]%3e/2. The document is hand crafted. To see the issue, turn on "Enhance thin lines" and try different zoom values. If this document contains incorrect contents, I'll be happy, if you let me know.
Regards.

You will not get a response from the bug report but they DO read the reports and use them to make future updates.
I notice a lot of the other issues reported here have not been responded to either.
Is that the normal process?
I haven't noticed that at all. In fact, most posts here get results as long as the poster gives enough details. Keep in mind that the answers are coming from fellow users and it is not an official avenue to contact Adobe personnel.

Plug-in for Adobe Reader to display embedded WMV not available

My problem is that I have a PDF with an embedded WMV. When I attempt to open it, I get the following message:
    The PDF file contains media that requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to
    download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application
    once the player installation is complete.
When I go to download the correct media player, the Adobe web site, (http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/nomediaplayer.html), informs me that the third-party media player is not available for my system. It does, however, suggest visiting the Apple web site for QuickTime.
As a matter of course, I decided to install Flip4Mac which is an add-on to QuickTime that allows it to play Windows Media files. While this add-on does function according to specification, I still get the same error when I attempt to open the same PDF file.
Note that I am running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

Putting it bluntly, you shouldn't be embedding WMVs in PDF files anymore - it's called "legacy media" and it's been discontinued for security reasons. You can't author it in Acrobat X, and playback is disabled in all current versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader unless the user changes their security options. Authors should be using Rich Media annotations, which embed FLV or H.264 video and play cross-platform via an internal copy of Flash Player.
The weblink fired by Reader when it encounters legacy media for which the OS has no registered handler understands that you're on a Mac - and as there are no primary players for WMV files on OS X, that's what it tells you. Adobe does not link to third-party add-ons for other software, and even with those installed it will continue to complain unless the add-on has changed the file type associations, so that WMV files automatically open in Quicktime.

Adobe reader not displaying the images

I am trying to open pdf document includes with the images. Text is showing correctly but the images are grayed out. I can open same document with images in Nitro Pro but not with Adobe, that means no issue with the file damaging.

Hi shahabk,
Please make sure that Show Large Images in selected in the Page Display preferences. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Reader > Preferences (Mac OS), and then click the Page Display category. The Show Large Images option is about half-way down the dialog box.
Best,

Adobe Reader X - Display PDF in Browser Option is Greyed out

Looking for a registry fix to unlock the Display PDF in Browser option. Not sure how it is greyed out to begin with. My MST file was not set to Lock anything. Please help. I cannot find anything anywhere of use to "ungrey" this option.
It seems to happen when Acrobat is installed.
How can I fix and how can I prevent in future releases??

Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
Type: Numeric field
Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
display pattern: zzz9
data pattern: zzz9
data format: Integer
When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

Anzeigefehler beim Adobe Reader 10.1.4 und bei Adobe Reader 11 aktuellste Version

Hallo zusammen,
wir haben bei einem PC das Problem, das der Adobe Reader Anzeigefehler hat. Die Menüleiste mit Datei, Bearbeiten, usw. wird nicht angezeigt, genauso wie die Leiste, wo man das Fenster minimieren, maximieren und schließen kann.
Auf dem Screenshot ist der Fehler auch gut zu erkennen. Der Screenshot stammt aus der Version 10.1.4. Wir haben bereits sämtliche Versionen ausprobiert ohne Erfolg. Ich habe nach der Deinstallation aller Adobe Produkte (Flashplayer und PDF iFilter) die Adobe Ordner aus C:\Programme, C:\ProgramData, C:\Benutzer\XXXX\Appdata\Roaming, Locallow sowie Local gelöscht und anschließend neuinstalliert. Als Administrator wird alles einwandfrei angezeigt. Ich habe auch auf das Verzeichnis in C:\Programme\Adobe dem Benutzer Vollzugriff gegeben, hat auch nichts gebracht.
Es handelt sich um einen Windows 7 Professional 64bit Rechner, der komplett neu ist und gerade installiert wurde.
English Version:
Hi there,
we have the problem that the Adobe Reader has display error on a PC. The menu bar with File, Edit, etc is not displayed, as is the bar where you can minimize, maximize and close the window.
On the screenshot of the error is also easy to recognize. The screenshot is from version 10.1.4. We have already tried all the versions without success. I have after uninstalling all Adobe products (Flash and PDF iFilter) the Adobe folder from C:\Program Files, C:\ProgramData, C:\Users\XXXX\Appdata\Roaming, LocalLow and Local and then reinstalled.As an administrator everything is displayed correctly. I also give the user full control on the path c:\program files\adobe, without success.
It is a Windows 7 Professional 64bit computer, which is completely new and was just installed.
Ich hoffe Ihr könnt uns weiterhelfen.
I hope you can help us.

I want to geht this topic back. We've got the same problem with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. The Windows 7 is installed completely new and full updated. There are only Office 2007 Small Business and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard installed, no other software.
In Adobe Acrobat 9 I didn't find the option "enable protected mode at startup". So here it isn't the solution.
Here are some screenshots from the error.
After that I installed the Adobe Reader X, but this it didn't have the error.
I tested a repair installation, a completely new windows installation, but the error already there.
I don't know how I can solve this problem.
If you press F9, the windows control bar is showing.
If you press F9 again, the menu bar is showing.
But when you restart the software, you get the same problem.
Edit: The last screenshot was wrong.

Adobe Reader XI Spanish don't work

Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
My PDF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
Scroll to page 37.
The original SWF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
A clue is: Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents. So I downloaded QuickTime. But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support. Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Same result.
It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

Adobe Reader 11.0.2 signing with OCSP embedding?

These days, I've been testing Adobe Reader 11.0.2 signing with OCSP embedding, and the following was unclear:
1. If there is CRL file in Adobe Reader 11 CRL Cache (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\CRLCache), then OCSP is not embedded in e-signature, but CRL is embedded. How can I configure Adobe Reader 11, so that signature doesn't have embedded cached CRL, but OCSP for end-user certificate?
2. Why doesn't Adobe Reader 11 display full OCSP certificate chain? Adobe Reader 10 displays full OCSP certificate chain. You can see attached picture:
Dragan

Both of these problems are also in the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015.007.20033. The first problem on the Windows 7 computer can be resolved by deleting the CRL Cache (before signing) in the following location: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\CRLCache.
