Adobe Reader XI Icons

Sometimes my .pdf documents use the classic red Adobe icon, sometimes just a red word "Adobe" in the lower rt-hand corner of a white icon, or sometimes an all-white icon (similar to a .txt document).  Why?  Seems random, changes day-to-day and .pdf-to-.pdf.  Otherwise works OK     (Win 7/64/home prem)

Hi Fusao,
If this installation is done using the deployment then they might have customized the installer.

  • Preview, Adobe Reader, and icons

    I take a PDF document that normally opens in Preview, go to the Get Info box, and change "Open With:" to Adobe Reader. The document's icon changes accordingly.
    When I reopen the document, go to the Get Info box again to change "Open With:" back to Preview, the icon won't change back. Any clues as to why?

    Below open with you will see a button marked CHANGE ALL click that and from then on any file with that particular extension will open with that app.

  • Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

    Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
    Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
    Thanks

    You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts.  Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

  • I have an adobe reader updater icon stuck in my system tray

    I have heard it is a virus. I have windows xp. How can I remove it from the system tray and remove the possible virus?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thank you atir-husain for your response. I finally did go to the adobe page 
    and download the latest version of the Reader. I'm afraid to download 
    anything from the tray after I downloaded a virus by trusting that it was 
    actually Adobe when it wasn't.
    After I downloaded the latest version the update did go away. I try to be 
    really careful now. I used to use AVG but after I got the virus I switched 
    to Security Essentials. I hope I don't have any more problems. Anyway thank 
    you for your help, I do appreciate it.

  • Adobe Reader PDF Desktop Icons No Longer Thumbnail Images

    Hi...
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 - and thanks to a fix for this I found somewhere a while ago, it's been working fine for the longest time.  In the past week, I see that my Adobe Reader desktop icons are no longer thumbnail images - they are back to the old standard Reader icons.  I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Adobe Reader - unapplying / reapplying this x64 thumbnails fix - and combinations of the two.  Nothing has worked thus far.
    Does anyone have a suggestion / fix / etc. on how I can get my PDF icons back to the thumbnail images - NOT the standard gray .PDF reader icons?
    Thanks so much!
    Andy

    Hi Jnicholas330,
    I need your XFA form file to investigate the issue. I sent a separate mail to you.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader 9 administrator accounts desktop icon

    Does anyone know how to do the follow as it is quite Adobe 9 is quite annoying:
    1 - take off the adobe reader 9 icon off the desktop -- it keeps recreating it after I delete it! NOW WHY WOULD adobe force this on us?
    2 - under NON administrator accounts, PDF are no longer shown with the associated extensions. If logged under ADMINISTRATOR accounts, it works fine. Logging out and going back under non admin, shows pdf as unknown program extensions.
    3 - how to install the adobe suite to whatever drive i want. there does not seem to be a choice for adobe reader and it installs to c and our drives are full on drive c now?
    4 - Adobe - we have many people who can not read beyond 800x600 resolution. Lately your products are for the 1200 resolution range. Can you please make your boxes smaller as we can NOT press the OK box on many of the application windows.
    5 - Why do we have to install Adobe AIR, Adobe.com etc. We do not want to install it. HOW do we NOT install it -- except for UNINSTALLING it after?
    thanks danny

    Danny,
    I don't have reader installed so I cannot see some of what you are
    seeing. Perhaps someone will drop by to help. Please do not address
    Adobe here. This is a user to user forum. This is the best place to get
    Adobe's ear:

  • Removing adobe reader icon from excell and outlook

    How can I permanently remove the adobe reader V9 icon from Excel and Outlook? I used toolbar customize to delete the icons but they come back when I restart the programs.

    Sorry, your question is not clear.  Can you give us the exact wording (or a screenshot) of that notification?
    What is your operating system?

  • Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

    When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

    After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
    I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit"  Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids  The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
    Name                                                                       Type                                           Data
    (Default)                                                                   REG_SZ                                    (value not set)
    AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j            REG_NONE                              (zero-length binary value)  ---- This is the key to delete!!!
    Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
    I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

  • Can't install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to Mac OS X 10.5.3

    Downloading the .dmg file was no problem, nor mounting it; but there's a circle with a slash through it over the Adobe Reader Installer icon, and if I double click it I get the following message:
    You can't open the application "Adobe Reader 8 Installer.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
    I am running OS X 10.5.3 on a PowerPC G5 Dual Processor. All other Adobe programs including Acrobat and CS3 work fine. And now my existing installation of Reader won't start; I just see an hourglass.

    Correct diagnosis. When I went back and downloaded the PowerPC version, it worked fine. The Intel version works fine on my MacBook Pro, too!

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.06 "not responding"

    A new version of Adobe Reader; therefore, a new thread on a very old and obviously sore subject.
    My previous version on Adobe Reader was working fine.  I don't know the version.
    Yesterday I installed updates for two Adobe products.  One update was Reader 11.0.06.  Today I can open a .pdf file and get the first page.  After aproximately 7.4 seconds, the widows 7 screen shows "not responding".  I have to close Adobe Reader.
    If I click on the "Adobe Reader XI" icon, the program comes up.  After aprox. 7.4 seconds my  Windows 7 screen shows "not responding".  I have to close Adobe Reader.
    I have read several threads with somewhat similar problems on previous versions of Adobe Reader, but I know new versions have new bugs and previous workarounds may or may not apply.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  Has anyone established a recommended set of workaround steps for this new version on Adobe Reader?

    Problem fixed....
    I got an automatic message from HP to perform maintenance and HP would shut down Windows within one minute.
    This was a first for my PC!  My multi-year old PC.
    Thought... "maybe I should go along with this"
    I closed all my open programs and waited.
    HP shutdown and restarted my PC.
    After the reboot, I went to unzip an Acrobat cleaner provided by Adobe Development.
    After the unzip, I saw a .pdf in the directory.  What the... , why not click on it.  Reader was working.
    Checked .pdfs that previously crashed.... all working...
    Go figure....

  • Unresolved bug in adobe reader x with non-default windows zoom level

    This seems to have already been brought up here about a year ago: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/776060.
    I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Firefox 12.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Here is a description of the problem:
    Whenever I open any PDF file in a browser (firefox or IE) using the adobe reader I am unable to select text, save the file or interact with the content in any meaningful way because the plugin does not recognise my cursor position. If I click on some text in a PDF document, the reader will immediately highlight a region of text between where I clicked and where it thinks I started clicking from (above 20% of the screen above and to the left of where I actually clicked on the page). If I roll my mouse over the region where the dashboard normally appears, the dash does appear as intended and the cursor changes in response to hover over buttons, as if everything were working, but I am unable to click on anything (clicking does nothing). If I click and hold the dashboard when it appears, it immediately jumps to another region of the page, as if it thinks I moved the mouse (20% up and to the left again). I have recently reformatted and am now using a fresh install, and the issue remains. My desktop zoom level in windows is 150%. The problem appears only inside the browser; viewing PDFs directly in Acrobat Reader X works without issue.
    I can resolve the problem either of two ways:
    a) Reverting back to the default windows zoom level (125%).
    b) right-clicking on the Adobe Reader X icon, navigating to the compatibility tab and clicking "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings"
    The workaround is easy but it's disappointing that adobe hasn't fixed this. Please consider that it would mostly affect individuals who are vision impaired and might not have the know-how to resolve the problem or check for solutions online, let alone post comments such as this. As far as I can tell this problem severely impaires the functionality of adobe in any browser on any non-standard zoom windows installation.

    Please be sure to post your issue in the following Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

  • Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.

    I keep getting the error message: Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.
    I have Windows 7 Home basic Service pack 1 and have already uninstalled and re-downloaded Adobe reader XI twice. I have also read other threads on this forum, and
    tried the suggestions, including running Kaspersky anti-rootkit, no threats were found.
    My Adobe reader shortcut icon shows a small blue and yellow shield in the bottom right (I uninstalled Windows essential protection), but the problem prevails.
    I would rather get to the root of the error and fix it and not just disable protection mode!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Please refer to the solution in:- Error: “Acrobat Failed to Load core DLL”.
    Also, may want to try disabling all Non-Microsoft Startup Services.

  • Problem on adobe reader X, it won't start

    Hallo guys.
    I've a problem on 3 pc in my company.
    When you double-click on the adobe reader X icon, the program won't start, no error message, no events in windows, absolutely nothing at all.
    The systems affected are windows 7 64bit, the user is a local administrator.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Please let me know the following:
    1. The exact version of Adobe Reade on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.
    2. Do you get a process in the task manager by the name of AcroRd32.exe when you double click on a PDF on these machines?
    3. Are you able to launch Adobe Reader as a standalone application without trying to view any PDFs?
    Thanks
