Adobe XI processes left open with no threads to a valid process

Processes are being left open after attempts to generate PDF's.
The system is using the latest update for Acrobat XI. This was not an issue with this version before about February, January for sure.
Windows 7 Professional
16G memory
XEON processor
Domain environment
The user makes the request to generate the PDF's, which get generated. But after, a process remains on the system. It has no attachment to the main process that generated the PDF, as that process is gone. The processes have no valid window, however, they have a lock on the file. In order to clear the lock one of two things must happen. Either the computer that was generating the PDF's needs to be restarted, or the locks need to be deleted from the server. Neither one is a good option.
Is it time to look for another PDF product? What works good with AutoCAD?

In your post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1572490 you show message 'Documents is not a valid short file name'. Now you have the same problem with AI_RecycleBin?

Why does the "open with" function often not recognize valid file extensions

Sample situation: I often need to open JPGs downloaded from the Internet in Photoshop, but I need to keep the default program as Preview.
When I attempt to open the image in PS using the "Open With" function (in the Edit menu), there are often no choices - it's blank, so I need to open it in preview and then save it as a PSD file to quickly open in PS. Other times I will get a list of other installed programs like Excel, and need to scroll down to the "open with another program" button, where I need to manually find the PS application. Of course, I can always open the file from within PS, but why is the Apple option so seemingly arbitrary from one similar file to the next?
There is often no rhyme or reason for the programs it offers me.
This happens with other file extensions, too.
Is this a known bug?

It's up to the applications to declare what types of files they can open. They do so by storing the information in the CFBundleDocumentTypes section of the Info.plist file in the application's .app directory. If you know what you are doing, you can edit the plist file to add your own file types/extensions. Unfortunately, I don't know of a good application to do that for you (but it's not a bad idea for one, if I get the time).

My Adobe 5 will not open with my version of Windows 7?

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7. The last two days when trying to open various items through Adobe, it says my version of Windows does not work with Adobe 5. I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible.

Acrobat 5 is not compatible with Win 7. Nothing anyone can change. You need to buy Acrobat X or resort to the free Acrobat Reader.

Downloading pdf on iPad mini, opening in Adobe reader, won't open, saying this is not a valid pdf document

Hi
I am trying to open a pdf document which is a course qualification handbook.
I have been able to open other pdf documents in the adobe reader app, any suggestions how I can open the above document.
I am using an IPad mini.
Thankyou

Is the course qualification handbook "protected" in any way? For example, to limit the access to the content, a protected PDF document may prompt you to enter user name and password or use some proprietary technology to obscure the content.
Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support eBooks, protected PDFs, etc.
Would you try opening the course qualification handbook in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer and see what happens?

Two "Adobe Reader" menu items in "Open with" context menu

Is there a simple remedy to the problem of multiple occurrences of "Adobe Reader" in the context menu?
That is, in the Finder, on Mac OS 10.6.8, I see two instances of "Adobe Reader" in the "Open with..." context menu...
thank you in advance.

Hi!
thanks for the response! I would be happy to find the root cause of this issue (or at least find and remove the data in the facility called Launch Services.
I have no additional binaries of Adobe Reader on the disk. One only.
I think there is some crufty data somewhere, which Launch Services is reading and hence displaying the erroneous menu item.
I suspect the Adobe Reader installer is somehow responsible for this. This was a clean and newly built system disk.
I have been reading the following:
How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Launch Services Framework Release Notes for Mac OS X v10.5
Rebuild Launch Services Database
Now, I tried resetting the "global Launch Services database".
I must restart Finder to see if this was successful. Until later...

Removing Adobe imageready auto-process commands from Open With

Ever since installing photoshop cs2 with imageready cs2, whenever I go to open with> after right clicking on an image file, it gives me dozens of exe's such as "constrain to 64x64 pixels.exe" that I can open with file with. It makes the list so long I can't quickly find the program I actually want to use to open the file...how do I get these things off my open with menu?

Hi, P.Q.
I use Photoshop 7 and ImageReady 7. Those .exe files are Photoshop and ImageReady Droplets. Since they're executable files that can open images, they appear in the Open With list for any image. This is controlled by Launch Services, which identifies the apps that can open a specific type of file.
On my version of Photoshop they reside in the folder
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7/Samples/Droplets
with subfolders therein for Photoshop Droplets and ImageReady Droplets.
I suspect you'd find a similar folder in your PS CS2 folder within Applications. They're basically samples of how one can automate repetitive tasks in those applications and save the sequence of actions as a droplet so one can merely drop an image on the droplet to perform the actions specified in the droplet.
You could simply trash the Droplets folder cited above, then restart your Mac.
A more conservative approach — and the one I would use — would be to create an Archive of the Droplets folder and save that somewhere, e.g. your Documents folder, in case you need them again, before trashing the Droplets folder and then restarting your Mac.
I suspect the Samples folder was installed by default when you installed PS and IR, but could have been omitted with a Custom Install of those apps.
Good luck!

Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader. Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?
