Blackened page and dialog error after opening a PDF file

Hello,
I have an Acrobat Pro. 8.1 that I had installed in to Win. Vista. After reformatting my system and installing Win. 7 ultimate, I installed it again. I also have Adobe Reader 9.0 on this system.
Problem is when I click and open a PDF file, it opens it in completely Black page and after a few second Black page goes away and following dialog is display and when I click on Close program on this dialog page the application does not give solution and goes completely away.
Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has stopped working
A problem caused that program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
With a Close program below it.
I can not scan with it either where as I could all the above in Win Vista. What could be wrong?
When I generate System Report if generates the following:
Regards
Jeff P.

There were documents available in the knowledgeable that I no longer have the urls for. I have had communication with Adobe Acrobat support personnel that have made the same statements. I do not have the habit of asking official Adobe tech support people to prove their statements by providing documentation. I have also seen Adobe employees give presentations on computers that have had both installed. When they were asked about the incompatibility, they did say the equivalent of phooey. However, enough people on this forum have had their problems disappear when they have removed one of the two programs that I feel comfortable giving that advice. Yes some people have no problems running both until one of the programs or a system component gets updated and then things stop working. My advice is not to have both on the same computer. When two programs share system calls and can fight over who gets to handle the call it makes sense that it can cause a problem. It doesn't make a difference if it is Reader and Acrobat or any two other programs you run. If you are not having a problem with running both GREAT. However, if you are running both and have a problem, it is a simple step to eliminate one and see if the problem disappears.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
Also, is this a local or online PDF? If online, in what browser?

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

You installed Adobe what? Assuming that perhaps you have a subscription for Acrobat XI Pro, I will move your post to the appropriate forum. You could also try to Contact Customer Care.

Repeated Error Message with Adobe Reader after opening up PDF files

After experiencing this problem, not being that computer savvy I figured I'd remove the existing Adobe Reader from my computer and download a new version in the hopes of eliminating the problem. When I do so, I get message "The patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch Package."

Ankit,
Here are my responses as best as I can address them:
1. Adobe 10.0.1
2. I believe it is Windows XP
3. I was unable to remove the existing Adobe version because of the "patch
package could not be opened......" I believe i may have inadvertently
downloaded this patch via www.secunia.ocom "Personal Software Inspector"
program (Untitled (1)).. Using the older version alone when opening up PDF
documents resulting in their closing and my getting an error message
("Untitled and Untitled (2))..
4. I was able to successfully download Adobe 10.1.0. However, it won't allow
me to download required updates.
As a result of this mess, I have the 2 versions of Adobe on my computer,
which is allowing me to open up PDF files on my computere.
Again, I'm not terribly computer savvy. I'm simply trying to find a way to
remove the old version and work with the new version.
Hope this helps, as I'm stumped. Thanx for your assistance.

Why doesn't the address bar and tabs work after opening a PDF?

I am using Firefox 3.6.16 and windows 7. When I open a PDF file using adobe reader in Firefox the address bar becomes inoperable for any other tabs I have open or open subsequently. This occurs until the tab the pdf file is open on is closed. I tried upgrading to Firefox 4 but apparently the problem is amplified in that as once a PDF file is opened even if you close the tab its on nothing works until you restart Firefox. I am using adobe reader X but had the same issue with 9. Thanks in advance for any help.

Error when opening a pdf file in chinese

Hello,
I have created a specific PO form by copying the standard one BBP_PO in SRM.
After generating a pdf file with my specific form, I get the error "There was a problem reading this document (15)" when I try to open it.
I can see some characters, and then everything disappears. I have both english and chinese characters.
The chinese language is installed.
If I use the standard form, I don't get the error !
In the form, I use some standard text, which are created in english and chinese.
Thanks for your help.

Just so you know, my default PDF can opener remains set to Preview, though I will use Acrobat Reader when and if it serves my need.
The upside of the Show scroll bars set to always is intuitive with applications. The downside is that any web content that has the CSS overflow:scroll configured will permanently have scrollbars attached to that content. At least, that is the behavior with Safari on Mavericks. Since I do web work too, I have left my scrollbar setting to when scrolling.
I believe the OP issues about resizing PDFs has to do with the default nature of Preview to open PDFs in continuous, rather than single page mode. In the former state, one must always fuss with resizing the Preview window, and in the latter, Preview does what it should do — a single, tightly cropped PDF page. Setting the Single Page preference setting in one document does not make this behavior permanent for subsequent documents.
I made two changes to Preview that open any PDF in Single Page mode, and tightly cropped to that page:
Preview PreferencesPDF: Define 100% scale as: Size on screen equals size on printout
Defaults write
Change to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Library/Preferences
defaults write com.apple.Preview kPVPDFDefaultPageViewModeOption 1
Continuous view mode is (0) zero
PDF documents will now default to Single Page mode

Error message opening secure PDF file

I bought a secure water marked PDF file and am unable to open it on my computer. I get an error message saying, " There was an error processing a page. Wrong operand type." I'm able to download the file and open it on my Android cell phone, but if I copy the same file to my computer or download it directly from the website I get this error message when I try to open it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat reader, but I still get this same problem. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? I can open other PDF files, just not that one. I even tried using the repair Adobe reader menu option and still get the same problem.

Sounds like pdf file is corrupt. Reader on your computer may be less tolerant of corrupt pdf files, since a corrupt pdf file can be used as a vector for a virus or malware attack.

Safari crash after opening a PDF file

For the past week or so, everytime a link leads to a PDF file, Safari loads the file and then immediately crashes. I have checked my disk, verified and fixed any permissions, etc. but the problem persists. Although I checked the "report" button when I got the message from the OS, I have not heard back from anyone.
Has anyone else experienced such a behavior? I suspect that it is not related to Safari, but rather to Adobe Acrobat, since I always have a similar experience when Adobe tries to look for updates. The Adobe Update Manager crashes the minute it is launched. I have even tried to udate my Acrobat 7.0 for some new patches but I cannot get to them fo some reason or another, mostly because the Adobe system seems to be down for maintenance most of the time. I saw that one of the updates is marked "critical".
I have saved the "log file" after the last crash, about an hour ago (if that helps anyone).
Thanks for any hints.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Apple does not respond to submitted crash reports. Rather, they are used for software development purposes. Best thing to do in this forum is to copy/paste a copy of the entire report to your reply in this thread.
If you see a relationship between the Adobe crashes and Safari opening a PDF file, then go to Adobe Acrobats preference file>Internet and designate Apple's "Preview" as your PDF reader. Then, go to the Finder and move to your desktop your Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-ins folder either the main or user library). Restart Safari and try a PDF (it ought to now open within the browser). If Safari does not crash, then yes, the problem lies with Adobe. Something you can take up in one of Adobe's own forums.

Why am I unable to select within the URL bar of a new tab after opening a .pdf file in Firefox 4?

To repeat the problem:
1.) Open a .pdf file in Firefox 4
2.) Open a new tab by using the (+) tab button
3.) Try to select within the URL bar (unsuccessful)
I cannot seem to direct my browser to a new website in a new tab after viewing a .pdf file within the browser.

Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

Computer stall after openning a PDF file (Vista)

I am using Vista with a HP slimline computer. Sometimes, not always, when I open a PDF file my computer stalls. I must reboot to work again. Sometimes the PDF file is open but when I want to close the file with my mouse with red cross located at upper right then computer stalls. Pressing the ON/OFF button 4 seconds is the only solution at this time. CTRL-ALT-DEL is freezed, the clock is freezed, ALT-TAB is freezed, mouse too and keyboard too. It is a full freeze.
My computer got the latest vista SP1 and latest Acrobat Reader version (8.1.2).
Does somebody got the same experience and found a solution?

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..
