Cant type # $ or % in IE8 with Adobe PDF Explorer bar open

I have found that when I turn on the Adobe PDF Explorer bar in IE then close IE and open IE again that I can not type certian characters in any IE fields. This is an issue as serveral of our search databases use these characters as wildcards.
We are currently using Windows XP Sp3 with IE8 and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3.
If I close the PDF toolbar then it will work fine again.
Please, no sugests to upgrade to the latest vesion of Acrobat, we have recently spent 6 months looking at migrating to version 9 but due to bugs and the changing to its basic functionality it is not a viable option. Of the 4 major issues I logged with Adobe support they were not able to resolve any of them.

Im happy for you Bernd, the asumption is that it works for a lot of people. Start with XP sp3 with IE6 and upgrade 6 to 8 and then install Acrobat 8 and patch it to 8.1.3. Oh and dont login at each stage to test it.The biggie is do not use an account that has local admin rights when you test it. I think that I will need to call gananigans on ya. I can see why you have 5,500 posts.

  • How do I display the web address with Adobe PDF Reader 10.1.1 & IE 9 x64?

    Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10.1.1.   When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
    Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter _1686a_10.11.11_7055475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
    Am I missing something?

    I did write there, but no replies
    I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
    Correct?

  • How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    Well, you don't. Editing a PDF is a difficult and fraught business even with the most expensive software.
    But PDF Pack lets you export to Word; then often you can edit in Word. Now you can make a new PDF. It might look like the original, or it might not. If small changes matter you might be out of luck. ON NO ACCOUNT USE THIS FOR GOVERNMENT FORMS.

  • Print issue with Adobe PDF reader print in IE9

    We are unable to print Brava PDF documents with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled in IE9. The same runs fine in Chrome with  Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled.
    I noticed Chrome uses
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll, whereas IE9 uses-C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. 
    Has anyone faced this issue?

    Can you print other pdf files from within IE9? Can you download the files and print them directly from Reader on you computer? Please list the steps you are using to print the pdf from IE9.

  • Why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    Perhaps because you don't know what you have (because there is no product called "adobe pdf translator"), Also perhaps because you aren't in a place to get support from Adobe. If you'd like us in the community to try to help, we might, if you can help us understand what is wrong. What is the specific product you are trying to use, and what happens when you try to use it. Please give any error messages exactly.

  • Correspondence Type for F.27 with ADOBE form.

    Hi All,
    I am stuck into one issue. See the below details:
    Requirement: I want to create a new correspondence type with new PDF form which can be attached to F.27.
    What I did so far: I have created a new ADOBE form to fulfill the PDF requirement and created a fresh Z driver program to run it. Also Functional people attached this driver program and form with newly created correspondence type for particular company code. When I am running my Z program directly from SE38 it is running correctly and giving me PDF output in a proper way.
    My Problem: The problem is when I am running it from F.27, whatever user is giving parameters in F.27 selection screen is not passing to my Z program and the output is not coming as required. In this case what it is doing is simply going to my piece of code neglecting the user entered parameters and picking up the parameter given in variant of my Z program and giving me output.
    I am very new to correspondence type and all so kindly help me in fetching F.27's selection parameters into my program.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best Regards
    Virendra Kedia

    Hi Raj,
    The selection screen for f.27 is coming from ob78. And the link of Correspondence program and correspondence is difined in OB78.

  • Problems with Adobe pdf files as attachments in Mail

    I have 4 Adobe pdf files that I can open and view without a problem.
    The minute I try to attach them to an email to send to someone else, they show in the email as blank pages with the message that in order to be viewed, a more recent version of Adobe needs to be downloaded. It doesn't make sense - if my Adobe is up to date enough to open them normally, why can't Mail open them as attachments?
    Flummoxed!

    I have sent you an email reply with the following text:
    I would not say things are exactly OK, but here is what I found out:
    The two documents were produced by the program described at the link below:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/designer/
    The forms, which would open in Adobe Reader 9, are filled out -- typically forms that you file out on such agency sites are only printable, and cannot be Saved in a filled out form -- yours are filled out with data -- data that could be sensitive. I will delete them very quickly, as soon as we have concluded any discussions.
    Neither file could be opened with Adobe Photoshop CS3, except to show the same error message, which is pretty unusual, nor could they be opened with Graphic Converter any differently, which is equally unusual.
    The file header, when observed in Raw Source, says the application that produced it is unknown -- a good reason Mail nor Preview could open. I am pasting in one of the file headers from Raw Source view:
    --------------090301040801050804080205
    Content-Type: application/x-unknown;
    name="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: inline;
    filename="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
    All-in-all I would say these are very unusual files.

  • Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

    In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64).  When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM.  One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep).  But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans.  So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
    However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle.  Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get.  I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems.  Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

    Hello,
    We believe we have figured this out.  It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
    I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me.  See if this resolves it for you all as well.
    Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
     1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
    Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
    Go
    --you might also need to run: 
    sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0  --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
    --go
    2. Stop SQL Server.  (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
    3.  
    Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
    4.  
    Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
    5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
    NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
    NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
    6. Start SQL Server
    7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
    8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname')  --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
     Give this a try and see if this fixes yours. 
    Sincerely,
    Rob Beene, MSFT

  • Nokia N95 - problems with Adobe PDF

    Acrobat PDF was working right until recently and now it doesn't open. I've tried to reinstall it by using the N80 version (since both phones are S60 3rd) but it won't let me install since it says that the app is already installed.
    I've updated to the latest firmware (12.0.013) and after restoring the memory backup from the memory card, Adobe PDF still doesn't work. I don't know if it would have worked without the backup restoration, but I'm not willing to try since I don't want to lose all my information in order to get PDFs back to work.
    Is there any way to "reset" the application, so that it starts working again?

    I have a same problem with my E65 and Adobe Reader. Have you solved your problem? If yes, please write about it.
    Thanks Rp

  • Issue with Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension version 11

    Dear Friends
    Come across few issues while determining correct version of Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension
    In my local laptop I installed Ifilter extension 9.0 but unfortunately this version is no longer available for further download.
    Latest version is 11.0 and I downloaded from below link.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Just for verification, I uninstalled old version(9.0) and installed the above version(11.0) but going forth PDF indexing stopped working.
    I have a requirement of PDF file content search and using Lucene.Net for this purpose. Lucene indexer that I have written is reading PDF content using PDF filter extension.
    I noticed above code stopped working for any site hosted on IIS. However console,desktop and IIS express applications are working fine.
    For further verification, I installed the same component in another laptop also but ended with same experience.
    Please provide some input.
    Regards Paul

  • Issue with Adobe PDF IFilter 64 bit

    Hi All,
    I am facing issue while using Adobe IFilter for 64 bit, the section of code mentioned below is used to load IFilter for PDF IFilter 64 bit using IPersist interface.
    LibHndl = LoadLibrary(strDLLName.c_str());
    if(LibHndl)
                     FnPtr_DllGetClassObject fnDLCO = NULL;
                     // Add to the load list.

                         hrslt = fnDLCO(objChachedIFilterNode.m_iidFilterPersistance, IID_IClassFactory, (LPVOID *)&pICF);
                         if( ( S_OK == hrslt ) && (NULL != pICF) )
                             IFilter *pobjIfilter = NULL;
                              hrslt = pICF->CreateInstance(pUnkOuter, IID_IFilter, (void**)&(pObjIfiter));
                             if( ( S_OK == hrslt ) && (NULL != pObjIfiter) )
                                 IPersistStream* persistStream = NULL;
                                 hrslt = pObjIfiter->QueryInterface(IID_IPersistStream, (void**)&persistStream);
    with this pointers to IFilter and IPersistStream for Adobe PDF filter 64 bit have been obtained then the code section below is used to load the IFilter
            size_t dwReadSize = 0;
             pFile = fopen(pszFileName, "rb"); //pszFileName: complete path of pdf file
             if(NULL != pFile)

                     if(NULL != m_pIStreamBuffer)
                         hReturnValue = m_pPersistStream->Load(m_pIStreamBuffer);
    this entire piece of code is working completely fine in debug mode where as in release mode the same thing is causing hang once the control reaches to hReturnValue = m_pPersistStream->Load(m_pIStreamBuffer); statement i.e. execution of this statement is causing the hang in application in release mode and this is happening only in case of pdf files while for all the other extensions files everything is working fine in both debug as well as release mode i.e. loading of all other IFilters is working fine.
    kindly help to resolve this problem for pdf files.
    Thanks

  • Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

    As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
    1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
    Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
    For eg:
    If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    3333333333333333333333
    4444444444444444444444
    and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    rather than printing
    3333333333333333333333
    4444444444444444444444
    2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
    It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
    Any pointers on this????????
    Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

    Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
    I have a node called <b>MasterData</b> which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called <b>GenData</b> inside this node whose <b>ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num</b> attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the <b>docReady</b> event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is <b>MngrCmptnc</b>
    if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
    then
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
    MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
    else
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
    MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"

  • PB printing with Adobe PDF, missing text, different colors

    Hello,
    I use Adobe Reader 9, I tried with the latest updates: the same
    On some pdf docs I print missing parts of the entire text.
    And I have also some areas of color deviations between what I have on the screen and on paper. I tested different printers and PC: the same.
    It works with Foxit reader. What makes that it does not work with Adobe Reader? Have you ever encountered such a pb?
    (I can not keep Foxit Reader on my business PC)
    thank you for your answers

    Could you please test this with Reader X. See if that works.
