Adobe Reader XI freezes when I try to get to preferences

When I open Reader XI and I select preferences, the programs just hangs and I keep getting the ding noise. What could be causing this problem? I uninstalled, reinstalled, even went back to version 10.

If you are on Windows, try to disable Protected Mode. Since you cannot go into Preferences, download, unzip, then run this registry script

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.

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.

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
Be well...

Hi, Adobe Reader XI crashes when I try to connect to a pdf online.

Hi, Can anyone help, please? Adobe reader XI crashes when I connect to a pdf online. Pre-saved ones still read correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader, and reset google chrome, but the problem is still there! What can I try next???

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Getting Adobe Reader already installed when I try to re-install. How can I get it re-installed??

Windows XP SP3
I had a problem printing an invoice from
a vendor and it was suggested that we should have the most current versions on the
Adobe software installed. I un-installed Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) and Adobe Flash Player and
any other Adobe product. When I bring up the add/remove programs screen, it shows that
Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) is installed and that the update cannot be removed.
When I try to re-install, I get the error that Adobe Reader X is already installed, even though it
has been removed from the registry.
What can I do to get Adobe Reader X re-installed??

This is basically the same problem that double0eight is having.
Not all of Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) gets uninstalled. There is one program that is left that says that it cannot be uninstalled.
If this is the case, how can anyone re-install Adobe Reader X?? Now I am really stuck unless I use another software product.
Does anyone have any idea on hwo Adobe Reader X can be un-installed?
Thanks.

Adobe Reader XI freezes when editing

I'm using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 8.1. I read PDF's for school on my computer and add comments, underlines, highlights, etc. Using the comments, annotations and drawing markup features constantly. Recently almost every time I make a single addition to a PDF, Acrobat freezes and switches to "not responding," forcing me to close the program and restart (almost always with it recovering any additions). This will happen sometimes two or three times in a row to make one underline in the program. Is there a fix for this glitch?

I am having this same problem but I am running windows 7, try as I may I cant find an answer or solution

Adobe Flash CS4 Freezes when I try to put a PNG in the library

I am working with Adobe Flash Proffesional CS4 and I have a lot of items in the library. When I try to put another piece of art, such as a PNG, a JPG, or any other format, the program stops letting me interact with it, making that generic microsoft "ding" and the Library stays at that outlined green as if it's still waiting for the art to be put in there. I end up having to close Flash by using Task Manager. I can save the file, but when I go back to it, the PNG I put in there is no longer there.

I am having the same issue with Flash CS4. Did you find a solution?

Adobe Reader XI freezes when saving in Windows 8.1

I'm trying to update the editable fields in the US Federal tax forms using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 8.1 (PC - not a tablet). I'm up-to-date on all Windows softward and Adobe Reader software.
I could save the original file downloaded from the irs.gov site with field edits, but after I saved the file locally, then reopened to edit again, it hangs every time I try to save the new edits. I saw something like this happening last year for Windows RT...could this be a similar issue?
Is there any solution?
Thanks,
DJ

I have no idea what this means; maybe you need to stop indexing? Also try the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Finder Freezes when I try to get file info

G5, OSX 3.9
Occasionally finder will freeze and become unresponsive when I try to check a file's info. I control+click on the file and the drop down menu appears normally, but when I click "Get Info" the Finder freezes; I get the spinning colour wheel of death and Finder won't respond. Forcing Finder to re-launch works fine and I haven't had to restart the computer yet, but I want to nip this problem in the bud right now before it gets any worse.
Can anyone help?

Buy DISK WARRIOR Software is only one is best to fix your HD problem! You can download in Site: www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
It is same as mine, but worser than yours... My internal HD is failure, Do not restart often it can create heaviest corrpt in Files! Back up Important included Mail, Preferences, Applications you downloaded, etc to External HD or to CD-RW. If you have External HD, Do it, before too late.
No Disk Utility or FCSK(FSCK?) can you trust, because they cannot tell if its HD is bad...
Remember if Finder is freezing, it is in HD with sereve corrpt in this file which cannot fix. Do not restart it, Back up all... I did try like you do, but nothing work out without Disk Warrior. Make sure Back up all before it stop working. If it is, then buy new HD.
I tried do Clean Install (Archive and Install), but still the same problem as even getting worser... Its "Bootstrap Errors" Bad errors I found out its in HD during installing while opening Error log (in Installer menu?). Let me give you link I learned:

Adobe reader XI freezes with documents I have begun to fill in. Have windows 8.1

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)].

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

Use this link Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
When you have downloaded it, then clean out the old adobe reader and then try to install the latest one, i had to do this about a week ago and it solved the problem.
