Unable to change preferences for Adobe Reader 9.4.2 on Ubuntu 11.04

I installed Adobe Reader 9 via the Ubuntu Software Center. The installed files are located at /opt/Adobe/Reader9/
The reader runs ok except when I want to change some preferences, I've found that I can only view Preferences, but I cannot change it. All options are protected including the Cancel and OK buttons. I can only close the Preferences window.
Is it just a simple permission (chmod on some files) issue?
Many thanks.

If you have the latest updates, then Acrobat Reader 9.4.2 does (at least) partially work in Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity.
There are a number of minor glitches - due to changes in Ubuntu's undelying GUI, kernal, etc. in the upgrde to Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
- floating scroll bars (only appearing when you hover mouse-cursor)
DOES NOT WORK: Does not scroll page ..
You may need to disable this feature. (in CCSM)
- Edit >> Preferences
This tries to work, but loses focus. I can see the Cancel and Ok buttons, but they don't do anyhting.
This is a GTK+ library issue, and an update to 9.4.2+ is needed.
Summary: There are a number of minor GUI issues that haev existed in 9.4.x for Linux. The update to Gnome 3 and Unity (for Ubuntu 11.10) has definitely made this much worse.

Changing Font in Adobe reader?

I was doing some pages, in which I can enter the information. The problem when I got to some of the places, is the font was to large in adobe reader? I looked at preferences and could not find any area to change the size of font, so it would fit properly?
Appreciate any help. This is adobe reader 8.1.2
thanks Bruce

Adobe Reader is used for displaying PDF files. PDF files are intended to be an accurate representation of the original document so changing font size isn't normally a feature of PDF readers.
You're probably thinking of EPUB or Kindle files. EPUB readers and Kindles let you change font size.
In a PDF, you need to zoom in on the text to view it larger. Use the normal way of doing it on an iPad: Spreading your fingers on the screen increases your zoom magnification. Closing your fingers on the screen decreases your magnification.

Change navigation bar Adobe Reader plugin on Mavericks 10.9.5

I have installed the latest version of Acrobat Reader on my Mavericks 10.9.5.
I'm using safari browser with adobe reader plug in to read PDF document in web viewer.
A few months ago I have noticed that the navigation bar / toolbar is different from what is used to be on Adobe Reader in safari.
In the original navigation bar there was more options.
How can I change it back to the default navigation bar to look like this?

You need to go into the Safari>Preferences>Security>Manage Web Site settings,
Select Adobe Reader
Set Allow Always for all web sites.

Changing language in Adobe reader

Dear sir/Madam.
The only free version of Adobe reader I could find came to me in Polish language. I can not get an english or Spanish version. I have 2 questions :
1) How/ where can I get a free version of Adobe reader, acceptable by Google Chrome ?
2) How (what are the steps ?) can I change the language of my installed Adobe reader from Polish to english.
Thanks for your time.

As a first consideration, please note that the PDF files provided with Microsoft Training materials are language-agnostic from the point of view of the Adobe Reader, that is, they don't influence at all the language in which the reader displays its interface.
So your problem must be related to the Reader itself, and not the training materials. I mention this because you posted your question in the Microsoft Training and Certification forum (and not in an Adobe support forum), so I have to infer that your problem
is related to the PDFs in training materials.
That said, I have installed plenty of times the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe download page (http://get.adobe.com/reader/), both in Spanish and in English versions of Windows, and it was always downloaded
in the language that matched the Windows configuration. But anyway, if it doesn't match automatically, there is a link in the download page labelled "Do you have a different language or operating
system?". If you click there, it will let you change the language for the Reader that will be downloaded. To change the language of your installed reader, uninstall it and then download and install the correct version.

Signature verification changes in Adobe Reader 9

[ I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader" forum, but I have realized that the post that I reference in my message belongs to this "Acrobat SDK" forum. So I've decided to send my post here, although this is not an Acrobat SDK question. Excuse me if you thing that my question should not be in this forum. ]
Hi all,
I have found this post in this forum talking about changes in Adobe Reader 9 related to signature verification:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2439480#2439480
I have another scenario:
A PDF with two signatures.
After the first signature, a new page was added and then the PDF was signed again (using signature appearance).
Using Adobe Reader 8.1.5, the result of signature verification is successful for both signatures.
In fact, the byte range of the first signature is intact after adding the second signature.
But if I open it with Adobe Reader 9.2.0, the verification result is invalid signature (for the first signature): the document has been modified and there is a new page.
Since it seems that Adobe Reader 9 has added some new checks when verifying signatures, does anybody know (or know where can it be found) the list of new signature verification requirements of Adobe Reader 9 ?
Or the list of changes allowed in Adobe Reader 9 that do not invalidate signatures ?
Maybe a list similar to the changes allowed in the three types of certified signatures (TransformParams)?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks, lrosenth.
The document I was searching for is in Adobe site and is called "Adobe Acrobat 9 Digital Signatures, Changes and Improvements".

Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit" Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
Name                                                                       Type                                           Data
(Default)                                                                   REG_SZ                                    (value not set)

Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) print dialog freezes

We recently pushed out Reader 10.1.1 to our agency staff. Some people have reported that the Print dialog box or the Print Properties dialog box freezes for 30-60 seconds before they can click any buttons on it. After that it seems fine.
We're on Win7 SP1 and WinXP SP3, and just upgraded from Reader 9.4.2 to 10.1.1. Most of our printers are Xerox Document Centre 5600 series and 7345, with a few older HP and Lexmark models. We currently use device specific PS drivers.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? Why would the dialog box freeze? I read something from a Google search about Reader searching all printers, not just the default printer, and hanging on any non-existent printers. http://gtech-kiwi.blogspot.com/2009/06/adobe-reader-print-dialog-display-slow.html As far as I know, the people who had the issue did not have any printers listed that no longer exist.
Thanks,
E Powell
Austin, TX

I'm tracking an issue which resembles Mr. Powell's report. Below are the symptoms I have recorded and the workaround I have discovered.
Symptom: when attempting to change print properties using Acrobat Reader print dialog the printer properties dialog becomes unresponsive to mouse clicks for a long time, an extended period of time, an indefinite length of time, my patience expired after 3 minutes. Unresponsive means that the user cannot print: in particular clicking the cancel and OK buttons on the dialog have no effect. Windows does not report the application as "not responding". The print properties dialog appears to be hung. The symptom is not observed every time the print dialog is invoked. The symptom has been observed when attempting to print a PDF from the Reader application or attempting to print a PDF that is open in IE.
Affected versions:
The symptom was first observed when deploying implementing Reader 10.1.2. Reader 10.1.3 does not resolve the issue. We migrated our environment from 9.X to Reader 10.1.2. The issue was not observed with the 9.X or earlier series. I have not tested with 10.1.1. The symptoms are not observed with other applications.
Environment:
My environment includes a Xerox WorkCentre 7675 and a Xerox WorkCentre 5675, one HP and a few Brother printers. So far the issue has only been reported in relation to the Xerox printers.
The printers in our environment have not changed. What changed was the Adobe Reader version.
Symptom observed on Win XP SP3 and Win 7 SP1 64bit.
Workarounds.
To wake up the print properties dialog invoked from the Adobe Reader print dialog the following seem to do the trick:
Change focus to a different application and switch back to Adobe Reader. For example, click the Start Menu and then click on the print dialog or use Alt-Tab.
Use the keyboard. 1a) Use the tab key to navigate the dialog. 1b) Press Alt-P to open the properties dialog.
Mr. Powell,
Have you resolved the issue you reported above? Are the workarounds I mentioned above effective for you?

How to set Adobe Reader as default for reading pdfs?

I recently added Adobe photoshop. Now when I get a PDF attached to an email or the help file in another program it's automatically opened in Adobe Photoshop. How do I change that to Adobe Reader?

I had MS Word set by Windows 7/64 as .PDF default and could not get any version of Adobe Reader to install as the default. Adobe support rejected the case Your Case Number:0181940706. After much searching, I found a Windows forum (not in Microsoft) that had the attached tool. Worked great, all pdf files now have acrord icons and open automagically (sic) with Reader X.
I've attached the link for you. If Ray at Adobe support reaads this, feel free to share it with your co-workers. The tools can fix a defeult association for any file type.

How to Edit a PDF File in Adobe Reader

I used to create PDF files from the blog [link removed] But i would like to delete the links in the sidebar and other un wanted content from the PDF file but i cant do it in Adobe Reader. How can i delete it. Is there any option.
Do i have to install any seperate software to edit pdf files.

Acrobat can do very limited editing, but it is best to avoid this by not making a PDF of stuff you don't want.
For example, use an HTML editor first.

How do I get my Adobe Reader to understand I have an active ExportPDF account?

I work on a Mac - and when I try to convert a file it tells me my trial subscription is over and sends me to a link to subscribe. However, I already have an active ExportPDF account. How can I get my program to recognize this?

Red --
Look at the PDF files you already have on your HD.
Select one, and then press the letter " i "
Look down to "Open with." Change it to "Adobe Reader."
Then select "Change all."
So, in the future, all PDFs will open with Adovbe.
