Adobe Reader XI Menu Text significantly smaller.

I just installed the lasted update for my Adobe Reader and now suddenly the text for the "File,Edit,View.." drop down menus is significantly smaller as well as the toolbar icons and all of the drop drown menu options. What gives? Is there a way I can fix this? If not how would I go about undoing the update? I don't like the small text at all. It went from something like 12 pt to 8 pt. That is really dramatic. I checked my display settings in the control panel and they are fine.
Help is greatly appreciated. I have Windows 7 32 bit if that helps too.

That happened when you updated 11.0.6 to 11.0.7? Strange; I updated a number of computers, none had any such issues.
Could it be a problem of missing or corrupted system fonts?
If I were to experience that problem I would try two things:
run the System File Checker
sfc /scannow
revert to 11.0.6 to see if the problem goes away

Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server

Running a terminal server with WIndow 2003. Have Adobe 9 Reader installed. When a pdf is opened, it will look correct. However, when one uses the scroll bar on the right to see more of the document, text can be highlighted and change colors constantly when scrolling.
Test it outside of terminal server and it works fine. This issue did not happen with other versions of Reader. I have attached two samples one clean and one highlighted.
Any help is appreciated

Very cool. Thanks for the info!

Okay. Here is what I found. These settings are changed\saved under the User settings in the registry. Here is the key the changes are made to:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Originals
When "NONE" is selected from Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Rendering, three DWORD values are added to the above mentioned registry key. These are:
Value Name - Value Data
*bAntialiasText - 0
benableDDR - 0
iAntialiasThreshold - 12*
I have added these lines to a login script that adds the necessary DWORD values to default the "Rendering" to NONE.
*reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V bAntialiasText /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V benableDDR /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V iAntialiasThreshold /T REG_DWORD /F /D 12*
Cheers!

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Adobe Reader preferences issue, text stretched and zoomed in.

I have a user with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 installed and cannot change his preferences and always receives a "Screen reader" prompt when opening a PDF. The window is stretched accross the screen and the only way to close it is Tab - Enter. The preferences are the same way, theres no way to check the settings because the window is too zoomed in and the text is too large. I have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, deleted all the folders and reg keys to do a clean install as well as under multiple profiles. Same issue each time. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Any advice would be great.

I believe I have seen this where an essential Windows font is removed.

Enabling usage rights in Adobe Reader corrupts PDF text

Hi,
I've created a registration form using Open Office writer which has editable fields. I convert this to a PDF and then add a signature field in Acrobat 8.
At this point everything works fine, all the editable fields etc convert across, but I want people to be able to sign and save the form in Reader, so I check the "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" feature and save it. Now when I open the PDF in either Acrobat or Reader all the text is completely corrupted and illegible (see image).
Any idea what's going on here?
Thank you
Paul

OK, here you go.

Adobe reader issue: no text!

Hi,
I cannot see the text in a pdf document. I can only see frames, pictures, etc but no text at all. I tried uninstalling & re-installing Adobe reader, but it was not possible since the installation partition (directory) no longer exists, so even that action was not possible.
Pls advise. Thanks

Uninstall Reader using the cleaner tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then download and reinstall Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Vista/Reader problems: Recent Items omissions + Adobe Reader Help menu freeze

This is Vista Home Premium 32bit; it came with Adobe Reader 8.1.2, which I fully updated, then replaced with Adobe Reader 9.0.0. Same problems either way. More info: Toshiba Satellite notebook, 3 GB RAM, 200 GB hard drive, AMD Turion X2 dual processor.
In about half the instances, a .pdf file that Reader has opened never shows up among files in the computer's Recent Items list (in the Start button). No idea why some do/some don't appear.
Also, both Reader versions freeze when one accesses the About option in the Help menu. Ctrl+Alt+Del is the only way out from that, apparently - not great. Only Reader freezes and requires using "End Task." All else keeps operating.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

Sometimes the Adobe Reader's menu is in Chinese or Japanese.

I check NHS leaflets on a voluntary basis and I notice when I download the PDF leaflets, the adobe readers menu is in either Japanese or Chinese which makes it difficult to work with. This does not usually happen with pdf files from other sources.

The issue only shows up when using Adobe Reader.
The scanning, emailing, copying and renaming work fine.
We believe that Reader's handlers are not fully releasing the file, but that's only speculation at this point.
I'm hoping someone has had a similar experience and a resolution.
Also, not at all a helpful answer, Pat.

Why does Adobe Reader X1 show text as weird characters in online pdf?

Updated to Reader X1 recently. When I open a PDF on my desktop, it displays normally. When I look at a PDF online, it displays a series of random characters (like fl fl fl) replacing the text. I want to upload a screenshot of an example but get an error msg that says: Content type of this image is not allowed. It's only a Word doc with a screenshot of the pdf!
Can someone tell me why I can't properly view PDF content online and how to fix this? I'm using latest Firefox 19.0.2 with XP.
Thanks,

Adobe Reader cannot highlight text

Sounds like user cannot highlight contents when viewing PDF fils in Adobe Reader

That is correct for scanned pages and pdf files without reader usage rights.

Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document. At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.

Is there something special about a pdf/a doc?

Is there any way to find text highlighted in adobe reader and automatically copy it to comment boxes?

If I use a pdf highlighted in Adobe Reader (metro) in another PDF reading program, one with functionality to retrieve and list various annotations on the PDF, it simply finds "sticky note" as Adobe Reader highlights the text but fails to copy and paste it into a 'highlight' comment box. I intend to use another program with this feature automatic, from this point forward, but is there any way I can retroactively and automatically do this same task to all the other work I've done with Adobe Reader? It is, as I understand, a standard function of PDF annotation.
Of course, ideally, I would also like this to be automatic in the future, as the Adobe Reader Metro App is generally well-designed, touch-interface wise. But this lacking feature makes finding my comments a much greater hassle than it should be (as I can see where I highlighted, but not what without traveling directly to the page)
Also on a side note, I apparently can't delete a sticky note from within the app, what the hell

You cannot enforce something like that. You have some options when the field is set up to allow rich text formatting, but the user can always change it.

How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

Hi, I am Samyak Veera From US.
By highlight I mean changing the colour of the selected text, like the function in word. Or do I have to paste the whole article into word to highlight it? How it possible.
Thanks
Samyak Veera

Highlighting and changing the text color is not the same thing!
Adobe Reader can highlight text by using the Highlight tool. This can only be done one real text, not "text" on a scanned image.
To change the text color you will need Acrobat.

Installation How-to for minimal/small footprint Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin

I need to install Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin in a small Linux based environment.
As a proof-of-concept, I downloaded and installed the AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
to an NFS share mounted to the Linux thinclient. That worked -- eg, the plugin was available
to the browser so the OS will support that build. However, the client does not have much
writable 'disk' space available and using any type of share (NFS/Samba) is not an option in
the production environment.
I need to use the plugin from within Firefox (6.0+) and have to be able to print via CUPS.
DIsk space available is less than 50Mb, preferrably a lot less!
Is there a guide available for a mimimal installation?
Any sugguestions as to what files/directories I have to copy to the local filesystem for
* an absolute minimum ?
* a bit more if there's room?
Suggestions / pointers appreciated..
Tom

First - what version of Adobe Reader do you have?
And now it gets a little bit complicated. Adobe Reader can be a plugin to Internet Explorer, and it crashes when you try to open an online PDF document. That is not unknown; it happens sometimes.
But when you open the standalone Adobe Reader, it also crashes with a plugin error. This time it must be a plugin to Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer.
Furthermore you write "the same plugin error window pops up" - so I can only assume that it is a Reader plugin that crashes, not the IE plugin.
What I would try in your situation:
open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader;
open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and delete all plugin... folders;
reinstall Adobe Reader from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
The path in the second line above could also be ...\Reader 8.0\... depending on your Reader version.

Adobe Reader 9 has taken over my computer!

Every time I try to open a desktop item I.E., Firefox, any shortcut or even my add/remove program in the control panel, an adobe reader window opens with a smaller window inside with an error message with the program I am trying to open, including trying to open Adobe reader to create a PDF file.
To open any of these, I have to right click and click on the open button.
The error message goes like this:
Adobe Reader could not open (acrobat.com.exe) because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged, for example,
it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded. This error message will come up the same for everything th
at I try to open, decktop shortcuts, whatever.
How can I fix this problem? I have uninstalled and installed several times, getting the same results?

This is not what is happening. When I click to open I.E. from my desktop, Reader opens and I get this error message:
