Adobe Reader XI moves to background (loses focus) after printing

I have noticed that if another window is open (windowed or maximized) and you print from Adobe Reader (windowed or maximized) then as soon as you send the doc to the printer, the other window will suddenly be in front of your adobe reader window and you will have to click the Adobe icon at the bottom to bring it to the front again.
It's sort of minor but annoying for some people here and I was wondering is anyone else noticing this and does anyone have an idea how to stop the window from jumping to the back as soon as you print?
Please help me!!!!!

Thanks for your response. I found the problem 1/2hr after posting my question. It had to do with the setting after hitting the print que. After installing the Adobe Reader XI the setting for destination in the print window change to save as PDF. Before it was set to my default printer. I never knew that there was other places for these documents could go. Never had to use them either.
Again thanks for responding.

  • TextInput loses focus after a collection.refresh()

    Hi!
    I have TextInputs inside AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderers in my ADG making filters by columns.
    But everytime I press a key (and collection.refresh() is called) to make the filter, the target text input loses focus after the call to the collection.refresh() method.
    The ADG headers inputs have the same focusManager object of my parent IFocusManagerContainer, but they are inacessible by TAB (and they do not TAB to each other).
    A note: My collection.refresh() method is called from inside my ADG override of commitProperties method.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I'd first make sure you need to make a change that requires a refresh.
    There are various ways to avoid/block refresh. It will depend on your needs.
    There is an API on ICollectionView, there is making certain properties not
    bindable and there is capturing and stopImmediatePropagation on the change
    events themselves.

  • I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf?

    I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf? I've inputted changes and have digitally signed, but none of my edits seem to save?

    By what kind of security I meant what is allowed and what is not allowed under the security tab that I mentioned in my last post?
    You can look at that and see if it restricts what you are trying to do. If it does then yes, you need a version of Acrobat (and the password of course) to change it.

  • Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

    Hello all,
    We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
    There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
    They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
    Any thoughts?
    Regards,
    Jaap

    Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
    XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
    What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
    Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
    which side is driving that behaviour.

  • Canon MP830 + Adobe Reader 8.0 = Yellow backgrounds?

    Anytime we print a PDF file via the new Adobe Reader 8 (for Intel Macs), the background--which should be white or at the worst a very very faint gray from it being a converted fax--prints in a bright neon yellow on our Canon MP830.
    This is despite the fact that the print preview window in AR8 shows a perfectly normal white b/g.
    So far we've only encountered this error in AR8. If I open the same PDF in Preview and print from there, it prints fine.
    If you're thinking, "Well, just use Preview and not AR8--problem solved!" I agree with you to a point, but also would prefer to find a solution as opposed to the ostrich method.
    I Googled around and found reference to an Adobe print setting called Discolored Background Correction, but this seems to only be available in Acrobat Pro, not Reader. I've also searched the Apple forums and have seen users have similar problems, but with different printer/software combinations.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Macbook Core Duo 2.0 GHz / iMac Core 2 Duo 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Resolved by getting rid of the MP830 in favor of an MX850.

  • Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

    Here is some background to my question
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
    which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
    I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
    app.hideToolbarButton("Print"); 
    app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
    app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
    These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
    As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
    So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
    What I'm after is a way to either
    (i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
    or
    (ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
    Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM  / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
    Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
    Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
    Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
    Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
    Cheers
    Will

    Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
    I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
    The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
    I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
    In an ideal world there would be an  available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
    I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
    The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
    Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
    or
    Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
    or
    Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
    Thanks for you help
    Cheers

  • Adobe Reader 9.4  won't allow saving-copying-printing of data entered into form fields.

    Hello, all.  I own a fully automated Continuing Education website with a national customer base.  The release of Adobe Reader 9.4 has brought a major problem for us which we haven't been able to overcome, and it's a critical issue which will destroy our business if the problem continues. 
    The problem:  Our professionally licensed website users earn online, instantly downloadable Continuing Education certificates in PDF file format, which are auto-generated by our software program when the user has successfully completed a course and its quiz.
    Each certificate is a template created by Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 which contains the boilerplate course goals, credit hours earned for the course, plus all of our educational approval numbers needed to conduct business in each state.  THE PROBLEM HERE is that these generated certificates ALSO have form fields which are auto-completed by our system when the user successfully completes his or her course - i.e., the user's name, his license number, and the date and hour and minute of completion.  Until some of our customers began to use Adobe Reader 9.4 on their PC this past week, the certificate generation process has performed flawlessly - for over 3 years now, for over a thousand customers - the only exception being the  occasional MAC user who needs to download the correct version of Adobe Reader, and to use the correct browser. 
    Beginning last week, site users who have downloaded 9.4 can no longer SAVE their Continuing Education certificates to their computer with their name, license and date and time of completion showing on the certificate.   And they can't even print the certificate correctly - their name, license, and date of completion appear as blank lines.  They can't download or email the certificate with the critical form field data showing on the document. This is a devastating situation for our business and for the users - who certainly won't return, and are demanding refunds. 
    In fact, I (who installed 9.4 last week) discovered that I can't even download and save an intact copy of a customer's certificate from my own website, OR copy and paste information from a client's generated certificate in order to manually create a certificate for him or her.  The on-screen message tells me that I am not allowed to do this with this document .... despite the fact that I was the creator of the document. Needless to say, when I un-installed 9.4, I had none of these problems.
    Customers wouldn't have problems either if they uninstalled 9.4 - but you can't tell customers who call in to complain, to uninstall their Adobe Reader program and find something else.  They also have to use Adobe Reader to view over half of the courses we offer, and they need to be able to work with them effectively with no problems. 
    In the past, because of occasional Adobe Reader problems of a different sort, we could tell customers to use Foxit or Nitro PDF if they had Adobe issues.  But that was back in the day when there was no competition in running an online CE website.  Now there is plenty of competition, and customers will just go elsewhere before they will try to reconfigure their computer just to stay with our site.
    I will bet that hundreds (thousands?) of other online businesses who work with system-generated form fields in PDF documents have been similarly affected.   
    Is there a solution here?  Surely this was an UNINTENDED result of  Adobe's upgrade to 9.4.   Is there something that we can do at our end to eliminate these issues?  There are NO security protections or limitations imposed on these certificate documents.  And we CANNOT eliminate the form fields that are filled internally when the customer passes t the course.  Date and time of completion and all the rest are required by all of the States which license us.  Many thanks!

    That was it!
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader 9.4.6 has taken out my printer drivers

    On 12/14/11 I was on my Windows 7 based system when i was sent a pop up window query asking me if I wanted to upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.4.6 I had an earlier version and I get prompts of this nature all the time, so I said yes. Download was protracted, taking 10-15 min. Afterwards I found I could not print documents from any of the other programs I had on that machine, my control panel lists no printers hooked up (like it disabled all the drivers) and attempts to add a driver through the Windows System Wizard just hang up. Any others had this problem? Is this a malware infestation of some kind? The McAfee Security Center software that came with the machine (a recondtioned Dell) hasn't given me any alarms. The program as downloaded takes up 144 MB.

    Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion.  Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit.  So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
    Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply.  But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old.  Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature.  In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
    If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
    There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar).  If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All.  So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
    In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit).  I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try.  Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.2 - PDF attachment won't print from right click

    Hi all,
    Hopefully someone can assist some kind of suggestion, we have just rolled out Adobe Reader 9.3.2 upgrade from v8.  When we now try to print a PDF Outlook 2003 attachment from the right click menu, we are prompted with the 'Open With' window.  Selecting Adobe Reader 9.3 and press okay opens the document, but it doesn't spool.  We can print the document fine from Adobe Reader itself, any ideas?
    TIA
    Frosty

    I have seen the same problem in this forum a couple of times (on Windows Vista and 7 only), but I have never seen a solution for it.
    Can you try if Adobe Reader 8.2 does the same?  Download it from here http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.2/enu/AdbeRdr820_en_US.msi
    If the same happens with Reader 8.2, then I have no other suggestion than to try an alternate PDF viewer.

  • Adobe Reader crashes a few seconds or minutes after start. After uninstalling I cannot manage to install it anymore

    Hello. Since several days Adobe Reader XI crashes a few minutes or seconds after start. I tried to get an update but the computer does not react after the click on the setup-file. Finally I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Flash Player in order to install it new. The download from the Adobe Page worked but the setup does not start so I cannot install it. I also tried to it with Reader X but it does not work either.
    I have a Windows 8.1 notebook, Mozilla Firefox.
    Would be nice if anyone could give me some advice!

    Uninstall the current Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    then reinstall with the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If the crash still occurs; try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Adobe Reader crashes during flattening process while attempting to print

    I have a user who is suddenly unable to print some PDF files.  The files were created in Illustrator.  I disabled Enhanced Security Protection on my machine, and was able to print.  I could not before that was disabled.  I disabled it on hers, and Adobe Reader still crashes.  I have removed Reader using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool from Adobe Labs, and I have reinstalled version 11.0.0.8.
    Does anybody have any experience with this?  I have tried to several different printers.  It seems to be the flattening process that is crashing.  I have her using the "print as image" option for now.

    Hello,
    Could you please suggest the Illustrator version at your end? Also what is job option settings at your end?

    private void LoginOKButtonKeyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                                         
            if (evt.getKeyCode() == java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)
