Can't close a PDF

I have an Ipad2 with latest OS. I opened a pdf in dropbox and can't close it. Is there a fix for this?

I think that you are holding you iPad in portrait mode and I know that I am holding my iPad in landscape mode and I think that is why you are seeing something different than me.
Tap on the four squares in the upper left corner next to the magnifying glass icon. That will shrink the PDF file into individual pages. Then tap the DropBox icon in the upper left to get back to your list of folders.
I really find it easier to use the iPad for everything in landscape mode.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Any suggestions?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

When opening a pdf file on my HP laptop, MS 8.1, i can only open or print one file. I can't close the file once opened or open anuything else unless i restart the laptop.

Help. Am not a techie, don't have a clue on fixing the issue. I open a pdf. and when i try to open another, the original one comes up. Same for printing. I can only open another pdf. after i reboot.

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

How can I send a PDF form for someone to complete, then lock it for no one to see except us when they send it back?

We would like to create a PDF form to collect sensitive information (phone numbers, payment information) from our customers. Ideally, we would like for them to be able to fill it out, then hit a button to encrypt it when completed, and send it back to us for us to view. Kind of like sending out an open, self-locking box for them to fill, and once they close it no one can see the contents without the key (which we would have).
I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07) on Mac OSX (10.9.4).
Is this possible? If so, how do I do this? Thank you in advance!

You can use certificate encryption. Each of your customers needs to have a digital certificate with a private key and send you the public key version of his/her certificate. You also need to have a digital certificate with private key and to send each customer the public version of your certificate. Then after each customer fills in your form, she encrypts it with certificate encryption entering as recipients herself and you before sending this PDF to you. This way only this particular customer and you can open and see PDF filled with sensitive information.
This workflow presumes that you and each of your customers can procure a digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak).

How do I close a PDF document automatically when the browser is closed?

I have a web app writen in HTML/ASP. In order to acccess this app, our users have to enter a password and user id. Once on the main page of the app, they can click on a link which opens the reader in another window. Quite often, when finished with the app, they close the browser, but leave the reader window open (with sensitive information). It is becoming to riskly to hope that they remember to close that window also, even with visual reminders. I would like for that window to close automatically when the browser with the app is closed.
Can this be done?

Let me elaborate a little more on what I am trying to do.
(1) A website (#1) is opened after entering a UID and PWD.
(2) Within website #1, a link is clicked which opens a second web app (#2) in a seperate window using window.open().
(3) Within website #2, a user can click on a link which opens a PDF as _SELF.
(4) If the user:
(a) exits out of website #1 by closing the brower
(b) we would like to automatically close the PDF from website #2 also, as this contains sensitive information and most of the time the users are forgetting to close it

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

Can't create a PDF

When I'm in the Viewing Responses tab in Forms Central, I'm unable to save any selected response as PDF using the following methods:
Clicking on the 'Save as PDF' button
Clicking 'Download response as PDF' on the row menu
Right clicking on the selected row and selecting 'Download response as PDF'
In all cases, I get a progress bar saying 'Exporting formname' - this sits there indefinitely until I close the window to kill it.
The 'Save as Excel' button works correctly.
I can successfully save a response as a PDF by selecting 'Detail View' from the 'View' menu and then using the 'Export' button at the bottom of the detail pane.
This occurs on two different computers, one running Windows XP with IE8, the other running Windows 7 with IE11.

Thanks Lucia - This problem was reported to me by a client. When I tried it on one of my computers, I got the same result - the 'Exporting ...' progress bar continued to display indefinitely (I left it on one occasion for 20 minutes with no progress)
However, when I tried it again today, it worked perfectly - I reported this to my client and he too successfully exported to a PDF.
I can only assume that this was a temporary glitch on one of your servers, and the problem is now resolved.
So thanks again, and you can now close this incident.

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2. I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update. I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers. It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save. The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time. Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
If not, then WHY on earth not? I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
Thanks for your help.
Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious. Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
And no one cares!
I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

How do I close a PDF doc on my iPad? Thanks

How do I close a PDF on the iPad?

Since Adobe Reader 10.3 can only open one PDF at a time, you can simply return to the Documents view by clicking Documents at the upper left. (If you have created folders and your PDF is in a folder, click the name of the folder at the upper left. Then, click the link to the Documents view.)

I can't close windows in Preview

There are three PDFs which are open in Preview that I cannot close, save or do anything with.
They started off life as Mail downloads, but the emails and the original attachments they came from have long since been deleted. The PDFs that won't die have the same name as those original files, except they appear to be copies, the whole name is in brackets and this is prefixed with Untitled. It's like the computer has made a phantom back-up file that can't be traced to anywhere. I've emptied all sorts of Library files to try to get rid of them, emptied recent history, restarted Previes and the Mac. They don't show up in Spotlight.
Any idea how I can close and delete these?
Thanks

Thanks Carolyn,
I don't have a problem closing Preview, I can do this just with Command Q. The problem is three particular PDFs (as described above) which keep reopening each time I open Preview. I cannot close those PDFs, they keep coming back despite me emptying every Preview and Mail related folder I can find!

The easiest way is to set up syncing between your iPad and laptop with iTunes. You can read how on the Apple website in the iPad section, or you can answer a question on their forums: www.apple.com.
It's a really good idea to set up iTunes syncing so you can back up all the files on your iPad!
On a one-by-one basis you could email a PDF, or use Dropbox, but synching is much better.
Good luck!

ADE can´t open ebook PDF with DRM Lifecycle Rights Management

Hello,
the ADE can´t open the pdf files with Adobe Lifecycle Rights Management.
I have download a Ebook in pdf file format with DRM at adobe lifecycle rights management.
The Reader XI can this open and work with them.
The ADE Suite can´t read this file and say some errors found on the dokument.
The adobe reader on the device (ebookreader Pocketbook 840 with newest softwareversion) do not open this file and without messages give up.
The Pocketbook Support tell to me contact adobe support.
My problem i don´t have information of the adobe softwar on the pocketbook. Only by cummunity some
The ADE 4.x and 3.x tested without solution.
Support files or dumps from device not available.
Why the ADE not support "adobe" lifecycle rights management.
And can i close this gap?
I`m only the consumer on pocketbook and onliehe.de
The Adobe licensee/customer Pocketbook and Onleihe.de do not support or don like support own customer at this issue.
Kind regards
Eddi

This can`t not be a serios Solution.
At producer from the device not fully unterstand the problem-
ADE can´t read the File and tell back its corrupt.
The device (Pocketbook 840) with Adobe Viewer stoped open file without message.
Pocketbook Support say download only products with support. PDF with DRM it´s ok, but not Adobe Lifecycle.
Thats can´t be the right way to sell products without support of own fail.and say buy other E-Books.
At wait on 11 days to see at this support instrument are only help for lightweight problems. I see to much questions without message from moderator, the consumer can´t do adobe work.
Kind regards
