Believe APSB11-16 breaks Adobe Reader X

Hi all. I'm new here, but not new to IT. This is the second time I've installed APSB11-16, each time on different servers (2003 R2, 32bit). After doing so I can no longer open Reader X. It shows in task list but does not launch GUI. I do not see anything on web or this forum on this particular issue. I do see all the issues with X and am starting to wonder if this should be pushed to production in a month. We are currently testing it and it seems to work pretty well over all, but if an update can stop the app from running that easily it does not bode well for the idea of using this app. Thanks all.

Where are you installing from? What do you mean by "breaks down"? Any error messages?
Have you tried the install from the FTP site at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.dmg ?

EMET 5 EAF+ Breaks Adobe Reader Protected View Mode

With EMET 5, when opening a PDF document in Adobe Reader 11.0.7 with Protected View enabled, it won't open the document and causes errors.
The setting in Adobe Reader for 'Protected View' is at Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Protected View. The Protected View options that are available are 'Off', 'Files from potentially unsafe locations' and 'all files'. If it is
set the latter two settings and a file opens in Protected View, it will fail and therefore log an EMET error similar to the following in Event Viewer:
EMET detected EAF+ (GuardPage) mitigation and will close the application: AcroRd32.exe
EAF+ (guard page) check failed:
Application : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

In the predetermined application rules that come with EMET 5, AcroRd32.dll is listed as one of the EAF+ modules. Therefore, either people will be unable to use Adobe Reader with Protected Mode, or AcroRd32.dll will need to be removed from the listed
modules for EAF+.

Observing the same error but iexplore.exe is a victim. Disabling only EAF+ works out.

Removing mshtml.dll from the EAF+ list helps.

Adobe Reader Version

Hi,
We are planning to Upgrade to PT 8.49 and FSCM 9.0, the Users want the Latest version of Adobe Reader to be installed on Client Machine which is Adobe Reader 9.0.
I was bit amazed with their request, i tried to look for the Adobe Reader latest version compatability with PeopleSoft usage. We are currently using Adobe Version 6.
So can someone help me with this issue, Can we use Adobe Reader 9.0? Is it compatible with PT 8.49?
What version of Adobe Reader we can use with PT 8.49?
I know this looks silly, but i am bit worried about it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris.

I don't believe PeopleSoft processes use Adobe Reader to generate PDF files. I don't recall reading anything in the PeopleSoft license agreement or release notes about portions of the software being copyrighted by Adobe Systems (could be there, but I don't remember seeing it). The PDF specification is well documented and implemented by several non Adobe open source and commercial libraries. I seriously doubt that the version of Adobe reader on a server will have any impact on your PeopleSoft generated documents.

I upgraded my windows and I wish to reestablish Adobe Reader XI (I believe this is what I have paid for). How do I put this back on my computer?

If you had a paid product such as Acrobat Pro, re-download, install, and activate it with your serial number.
If you used an Acrobat.com online service, just sign in with your Adobe ID.

Adobe Reader 9 breaks Filemaker links

Hello Forums,
Windows XP SP3 systems running FileMaker Pro 10, with Adobe Reader 9.
The FileMaker databases have several links to Adobe PDF files stored on our shared server. The users updates to adobe reader 9.5 this morning, and rebooted whem prompted. Once rebooted, the machines would no longer link correctly to the PDF files.
The Adobe Reader update was the only change made to these computers, and have broken the functionality of opening the files.
I had the users update the links in Filemaker. They are able to recreate the links, and it does work. However, the functionality has changed. Before, it would just open the document. Now, the user is being prompted to open or save the file, instead of opening the file directly.
What changes were made in the 9.5 update that would cause this type of behavior?
EDIT:
Updating to say that this does work - if Adobe Reader is opened first. Quite strange, as before, it would come right up.
I woud still like to hear any solutions or further details on the update, and what might have happened.

Hello,
I also have Reader 9.5.0 on my machine and it directly opens the PDF document in the browser without prompting for "Open or Save the file". Can you go to following preference in your Adobe Reader : Edit -> Preferences -> Internet pane under categories and check whether the "Display PDF in browser" checkbox is checked or not. If this checkbox is unchecked then only you'll be prompted for "Open or Save the PDF file" option. So, please check this checkbox and click OK. Now, you should try to open PDFs in browser.
Can you also provide me one of the links which are now no longer linked correctly to the PDF files in your FileMaker?

I have spent hours and hours trying to download adobe reader no luck i want to cancel this as i have no more time to waste on it. i managed to get an acct. opened i believe but that is useless as i am not ab le to download the product. please delete

I wish to delete the download of the adobe reader as i have no more time to waste on this. i want my acct. deleted also as there is no need for it. it has been the most frustrating thing to deal with and i do not wish to keep pulling my hair out!!!!!
Thank You Margaret Hyslop

Adobe Reader is free; there is nothing to cancel.
What exactly means "unable" - do you get any error messages?
Try downloading the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
Shift + U is not working
how can i change shortcut key?

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

Deploying Adobe Reader 11.0.4 via SCCM 2012

Hello members,
I am looking to deploy the latest version of Reader to our workstations both during OS build and also on existing machines.
I have successfully created a custom install using the Adobe Customization Wizard I’m leaning towards the use of the .exe / bootstrapper
Double clicking the exe works just fine on my lab computers however getting this to work over a SCCM (2012) deployment is proving troublesome
As SCCM admins would know the SCCM client downloads the content to C:\windows\ccmcache\randomfoldername
SCCM then runs the command specified in the deployment you created, I appear to be having issues with the exe not knowing to look in the same directory for the MST MSP and setup.ini file,Being a randomly generating folder name this can’t be specified in the deployment unless I change the ‘Installation start in’ option
Sometimes the install is ignoring my custom install settings (disable updates and online features etc)
My setup.ini contains:
[Startup]
RequireMSI=3.0
CmdLine=/sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="CompanyName.mst"
[MSI Updater]
Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
Am I missing something simple ?

You have done all the things right. I don't see any issues in your deployment. You say that sometimes your custom transforms are getting applied to some of the machines but not always.
Which makes me believe that that the Reader 11.0.04 installers are working as expected. I guess, It's the deployment and the distribution of packages which is causing this intermittent issue.
WHat i understand is that, while applying the setup.exe, it's somehow ignoring to apply the custom mst by not reading the setup.ini file
My suggestions,
1. Cleanup your existing package and deployment related to Reader 11.0.04
2. Recreate package and deplyment related to Reader 11.0.04 using some other folder
3. If you are not cleaning up your existing package and deployments. Ensure you have the transform file and setup.ini file in the same folder as the package folder (where it contains setup.exe and other necessary files)
and then update distribution points
4. Make the source directory shared

Can't Install Adobe Reader

I had Adobe Reader Installed and it worked fine. Then an update failed and Reader disappeared. I tried to download it and reinstall it, but it gives me a message that it doesn't have enough permission to access Activex file, and asks me to log in as adminstrator. I'm already logged in as administrator. I tried to uninstall all Adobe Files and then reinstall, but it only deleted some files and not all, due , again, to permissions problems. I tried altering folder permissions, but nothing helps. So now, I have some pieces of Adobe files, and can't download and install. Where do I go from here? Please help.

Michael Kazlow,
I can't believe it! That did it!
I didn't even know there was such an Installer Cleanup tool. What I had was a mess, and this cleaned it up; now Adobe Reader works.
Thank you very much for the rapid and notably effective response!

Can't get Adobe Reader to print statement from Scottrade on-line

I have Vista 64 bit Home Premium , Adobe Reader 9, version 9.3. When online with Windows Internet Explorer at www.scottrade .com, I go to my account, account history, account statements and select January 2010 statement to view and a popup screen which should show my statement, but the screen is blank. This screen usually shows the selected statement in PDF and I can print it out. If I wait a minute or so a popup massage comes up that says: Adobe PDF Document. "There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." I exit try again and the same thing happens again. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe Reader, restarted the computer and cannot get it to work. I did not have this problem several weeks ago.

I don't have the printing problem but I do have a very similar situation that I believe is a closely tied to your printing problem. I think the problem is in the way Internet Explorer or Win 7 processes the Adobe button action/script that calls for it to print or save the displayed PDF.
I have a problem with saving Adobe PDF files from inside Internet Explorer 8. I'm running Windows 7 Pro, IE 8, Adobe Reader 9.3, and Acrobat 9.3 Pro. Reader is my IE 8 Add-On. I can open the PDF file, click on "save a copy" either the icon button or go thru the File menu, but don't ever see the dialogue window that asks where I want to save it to, and of course the PDF file is not saved to my computer. I click and it just goes null. I've also tried the CTRL+Shift+S hotkey combo to no avail.
I once saw a dialogue window that popped up that alluded to "going outside the protected mode to save it" and did I want to continue. I've only seen that message window once and it was for just a split second.
I experimented with Protected Mode. I can open, read, and save the pdf file if I DISABLE Protected Mode. ENABLING Protected Mode to come back ON resets and reproduces the problem.
So, thinking it had to do with the Internet Security level, I cranked that setting down to the minimum but kept Protected Mode enabled. The problem was still there.
The workaround I use (until someone gives me a better fix) to get the "SAVE a copy to my computer or other location" button of the PDF to actually work is to:
Double-click Internet|Protected Mode: On at the bottom of the window or tab displaying the PDF file. This brings up the Internet Security settings panel.
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode. You are putting your computer at a bit of a risk... but you aren't going web surfing with Protected Mode turned Off. Do not leave the site where you turned it off.
Click Apply and OK. Close your browser window with the PDF and reopen it to the PDF you need to Save. If you are on a pop-up window or a second tab, you only have to close that one window or tab and reopen it.
You may have to log back on if you are working with an online statement of account.
Your browser should also show that it is "Internet | Protected Mode: Off". A yellow bar at the top of the page warns you the Protected Mode is turned Off.
Save the PDF as you've been doing all along until our software (Win 7 Pro U/G with IE8) started belching.
After saving, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 above with rechecking Enable Protected Mode, setting it to On. Clicking the yellow bar at the top of your browser gets you right back into the security settings panel to reset the mode.
Close your browser and reopen it. Verify Protected Mode is reset to On.
It's risky to disable the Protected Mode, but if I need to save a copy of a pdf file, such as a statement of an online account, this is the only way I've discovered how to save a copy of it short of printing a hard copy, then scanning the hard copy to a pdf (a digital file) for storing/disseminating it. My workaround may also work for your printing needs. Try it once and don't forget to reset the Protected Mode back to On.
It's a nuisance, a real pain in the ol' sphincter, to have to do these steps but until Microsoft and Adobe have a meeting of minds and solve the problem... well, I gotta do what I gotta do.
I've only had Win 7 Pro for about a week. It was working great when I first upgraded from Win XP Pro (clean install) and a day or so ago without any significant changes or alterations on my part it just started acting up.
I posted this in Microsoft's Win 7 Forum as well so maybe one side or the other will fix it.

I have the latest version of Adobe Reader and I still can not print adobe reader documents on my Mac Air laptop but I can print any other type of file or document?

What settings need to be changed in order to print in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful input.
My Adobe reader is the most current one that's out there per Adobe.
Something like XII or higher.
As for my Outlook, it's MS Outlook 2003, and I believe it's Express Outlook.
If I disable the Protected Mode, per your suggestion, maybe that will work.
I'll try it.
Thanks again, and if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate your
thoughts.
Thank you.

Can't open web pdf document: Adobe Reader 10 stops at welcome screen

I installed Adobe Reader X.
Now, when I open a pdf file from the web, the browser (either Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox) downloads the file and opens Adobe X.
Funny, I thought. Up to this date (using Adobe 9) the browser opened the file into a browser window, using the plugin.
Of course, I went into Reader Edit/Preferences/Internet and checked the "Display PDF in browser" to no avail: instead of opening the pdf inside the browser, the browser launches the Reader X program.
However, after downloading the pdf and opening Reader X, you find a nice gorram welcome screen.
As there is no way to close that screen (you have to choose one of the documents opened in the past or pick a document from the disk), Adobe Reader will not open the file I just picked in the browser. It just sits there waiting for me to pick one of the options of this welcoming screen.
Of course, the page with the files I'm trying to download uses an script or something similar to load them, so I cannot right click on any of the files to download them to a folder and then open them using Reader's "Open file" option.
The file I'm trying to open is this one: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRTRV19.pdf
The page where the file resides is this one: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRTRV19&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=man uals#/manualsTab
So, how in heaven do I open this file from my browser? (as I said, Opera, Chrome and Firefox all display the same behaviour. I haven't tried IE and I refuse to do it).
To be sincere, in Firefox the file opened once. I read the first pages and then I made the mistake of indicating to the browser that it should use the Adobe X to open pdf files. (Firefox "offered" that option out of its "own free will").
Now I have the same problem in Firefox: I see a nice blue bar that indicates the percentage of the file downloaded and, when it reaches 100%, Adobe opens and "freezes" the browser, because Reader sits there at the welcome screen and the browser is waiting for the file to open.
Of course, the help for plug ins at Firefox and Opera (I haven't checked Chrome) says simply: download Adobe Reader and that's it.
I frankly hate this behaviour: up to this date Reader has been the source of simplicity, the example of a software that does only what it was made to do, sitting quietly in my PC, churning pdf files without the slightest complain, a veritable jewel among poorly designed software.
As this unclosable welcome screen seems to me a blatant attempt by Adobe to undercut the many web sites that offer to translate PDFs to Word documents, my only thoughts are: thanks, people at Adobe! You have managed to break the unbreakable.
Can anyone help me? This day has been a nice one up to this moment...

Please let me know the following details:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
     a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
     b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
     c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.

Adobe Reader won't open automatically when clicking on online form link

I created a form in LiveCycle Designer, reader-enabled it, and then it was uploaded to a university website for students to access to apply for graduation from an advanced degree program. However, when students click the link, the dreaded "Please wait...If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. [...]" appears. In the top right corner of the browser, a little button that says "Open with different viewer" is also displayed, which has to be pressed and then Adobe Reader has to be manually selected to open the form...the problem is that students are not aware of the button in the corner and simply believe the form is not working properly. To avoid the many frantic student calls as they get the "error" message, I was wondering if there is a way to upload a form to default to the Adobe Reader, without having to set this on every machine individually. I don't know much about the website portion of this project, so any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If this is something that could be set on the form end itself (although I am not sure how you would), please also let me know. I have attached the screen shots with the first error message and the button in the top right and the selection for the viewer that comes up after pressing the button (once you select the reader in this step, it opens just fine). If there is any additional information I should provide to solve this problem, just let me know.
The form is linked online at http://www.uccs.edu/Documents/graduateschool/CORRECT%20Application%20for%20Admission%20to% 20Candidacy%208_22_14.pdf
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the issue.
Kristin

You are using either the built-in Mozilla PDF Viewer or the built-in Chrome PDF VIewer and have a LiveCycle Designer XFA form being viewed. You need to configure the web browser accordingly.
XFA-based PDF forms on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome
There are are probably registry entries available for setting this up in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but I don't know them and have not seen them posted on any vendor site. Then again, I haven't looked either.
