After removing adobe 7 .pdf file association is not pointing to 8 reader

I have about 300 pc's with adobe 7 standard installed. we are removing it and moving everyone to reader 8 due to the recent virus problems. When i run a scripted uninstall "msiexec /x {AC76BA86-1033-0000-BA7E-100000000002} /qn" it removes the standard edition but the .pdf files are not redirected to adobe reader 8 which was already installed. i have found that the easy fix is to just open the 8 reader once and the association is created however with so many machines (all xp) i want to be able to just push a .reg to fix them all in one sweep. any one know what key i need to change?

1. I assume you have some PDF documents you have been keeping a long time. Look at their modification date. Is it what you'd expect (years ago) or is it all the same, recent?
2. Has a TXT file appeared in the same folder as the PDFs?

Firefox will not open Adobe PDF files on my mini Mac (I have reader x and the latest Quicktime versions)

When I try to download a pdf file sometimes an error message appears and states can't down load file, Quicktime may need an extension. Other times the page just stays blank - nothing happens.
This happens very frequently. I can open some pdf files in Firefox. The problem appears with downloading.
I have the same software in Safari and Firefox and I do not have this problem with Safari - I can download PDFs in that browser

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...

You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader.

After installing Reader 11.0.07 update on my Mac OS X 10.8.5, when I open an Adobe pdf file I see Chinese script next to the blue loading bar at the bottom of the screen. This never appeared before and I am concerned that my computer is being hacked into

After installing Reader 11.0.07 update on my iMac OS X, v.10.8.5, when I open an Adobe pdf file I see Chinese script next to the blue loading bar at the bottom of the screen. This never appeared before when downloading pdf files and I am worried that my computer is being hacked into or I acquired a virus. Is this normal or do I have to uninstall this update?

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

Adobe pdf. file attachments not opening - solutions please?

Hi, I receive a lot of attachments on email that are Adobe pdf. files. My BB Bold says that it does not have the software to open such an attachment. Can anyone point me to and Adobe Reader for BB or show me how to activate it if it is already on board. Thanks !

how are you trying to read the PDF ?
from the email? "open attachment" ?
do you have that option ?
can you open other attachments like DOC or XLS or JPG ?
can you save the file to your device, then use BeamReader to read it ?
you can read the following article from the knowledge base :
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10172
Unable to open attachments on the BlackBerry smartphone
is your device connected to BES ? If so, ask your IT admin.

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
Closing the tools pane at the right side:
open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
collapse 'Tools' pane
then open some PDF
It shouldn't hang anymore

What You see is not what you get when printing a adobe PDF file

Hi, we use adobe pdf files to send printing of maps to different customers. Quite often a pdf file looks Ok on the screen but printed on paper some lines is crossing the paper which should not be there.
It is easy to reproduce and seems to happen on different computers. Most of them use windows7. If we use another program than adobe for displaying and printing the same file the print is correct.
Is this a bug in print driver or in the Adobe reader which produce the data for the print driver. Most files is created by a thin print solution called UNIPRINT.

The text spacing also frustrates me, but I'm afraid is a drawback of the iWeb system. I always have to go back and re-tweak certain paragraphs that I try to squeeze into a smaller space. I've learned that it's best to allow for a little breathing room with the width and height of the text field. If the text field is exactly the width and height of your paragraph in iWeb, chances are the lines are going to bump down just a hair, creating an extra line of text which will decrease your line spacing if the height is also tight. Does that make sense?
As far as the hyperlinks go, I used to get freaked out because what I thought was the wrong formatting, but what I found out was just the formatting for having visited the linked site.
What iWeb does for those of us who don't know or don't care to mess with html code is an extremely complex process that I can't even begin to understand. And on top of that you add the relative unpredictability of the various browsers and systems that are out there. You have to roll with the punches and figure out these little discrepancies to get the finished product you want.
Good luck!

Windows XP PDF File associations broken

After updating to Adobe Reader XI (Windows XP 32 bit), my PDF file associations no longer worked.
When I double clicked on a pdf file, it would open using a different application (Hex Editor Neo) instead.
The file thumbnails in Windows Explorer did not show the usual Adobe PDF icon: The icon for an unknown file type was displayed.
I first tried rebooting - no difference.
When I looked at the file type associations (via Folder Options in Control Panel), PDF files no longer appeared in the list of registered file types.
When I tried to add a new entry manually, it did not appear to get saved in the registry, so it made no difference.
Clicking the 'Advanced' button under the 'File Type' tab did nothing - the usual 'Advanced' dialog box did not appear.
In the end I had to uninstall Adobe Reader XI and re-install from scratch to get theings to work properly.
Is this a known issue?

This is more informative: where in the registry does Windows store, with which program to open certain file types? - Super User. I went to HKCU\software\classes\applications and added a new key acroRD32.exe
Now in the list of file types in the default programs: associate a file type with a program, I find that I can change PDF to adobe reader.
However, I still can not click on a PDF file and have it automatically open in adobe reader. This is however a minor nuisance. More important to me is that I can not see pdf icons in windows explorer. I have numerous pdf pictures and I would like to find them easily in explorer.

Importing / Opening Adobe PDF files

I apologize if this topic has been covered in advance but I have searched until I am blue, and cannot locate any help.
Having said that, I was astounded to discover that Adobe InDesign CS3 does not recognize Adobe PDF files!
That deserves a resounding "Shame on you, Adobe!" After all, the whole idea as I understand "Portable Document File" is for easy portability between applications and platforms. For an Adobe application to not open a simple pdf file (text only) is totally beyond me.
Can anyone help with any work-around?
Shaking my head in disbelief is giving me a head-ache!
Thank You,
Jim Myers

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was looking in the wrong places for your posts. I'm not that familiar with using forums.
Thank you to all who have replied.
I guess I need to do a better job of explaining my problem.
My resume was originally created in Freehand. I like the formatting of it, and would like to retain it as is. I've read the writing on the wall since Adobe acquired Macromedia, and fully expect Freehand to disappear.
I have had jobs which required me to use Freehand, as well as those who use Illustrator. They both have their strong points, but I realize we're going to end up with no more Freehand, so I want to port it to an Adobe product. Since Illustrator does not support multiple pages, I thought In Design would be the appropriate application.
I own Creative Suite 3 so I have all of the Adobe design products including Acrobat. I have been opening PDF's in Illustrator for a long time with a lot of success.
However, when I try to "open" or "import" the pdf's that were created by exporting to pdf from within the freehand document, neither option are available. The pdf document is greyed-out when I select "All readable documents" and when I use "All documents" I get this error message:
Cannot open the file "Editable Fonts.pdf". Adobe
InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
that supports the file format may be missing, or the
file may be open in another application.
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?

I'm aware that I can place the pdf in InDesign as a guide, and re-typeset the document, but I'm hoping to learn the proper method for importing a pdf. Although my resume is only 3 pages (including a page of references), I know that I may have an instance with a much more complex pdf in the future.
One possibility is that the pdf created by exporting the Freehand document is not the "proper" pdf? But I don't know for sure, or how I should try to save it out of Acrobat?
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?
