Change grey background color of acrobat reader application (not background color of page)

My new laptop has a very reflective screen. Especially dark background colors make me see the windows behind me (and people passing by). When using a white (lighter) background this problem does not occur.
When reading all day texts with acrobat reader, there is alot of "distraction" because outside the page there is a dark grey area with reflections and moving images. Maximizing the text to 400% so everything is white is not a comfortable option.
Is it possible to change this background somehow, preferrably to white, or light grey? If there is not a standard option, would it be possible to change some settings in the windows registry?

Unfortunately no, it's not possible. However, you can simply resize the window so that the underlying desktop color is visible...

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Are plugins able to create graphical controls children to the Acrobat/Reader application?

Hello,
in the documentation I read　
Acrobat Viewer layer
The Acrobat Viewer (AV) layer enables plug-ins to control Acrobat and modify its user interface. Using AV methods, you can, for example, add menus and menu commands, add buttons to toolbars, open and close files, display simple dialog boxes, and perform many other application-level tasks.
I ask if it is possible that a plugin creates a graphical control like others applications can usually do and put it as a legitimate child of the Acrobat/Reader application, for example over a pdf page, and get events and so on.
Thanks in advance

Sure.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

I get this error when trying to print from a website.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
You will be directed to a site where you can download
the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

Have you done ALL OF THIS?
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

When I click PDF file, the file does not open and installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

Launch Acrobat Reader 8 not-maximized

I have a flex 3 app (not AIR) for which I am launching the
acrobat reader 8 with a pdf that the user selects from a tree
control. The code looks like....
var pdfUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://server/pdftest/1.pdf");
navigateToURL(pdfUrl,"_blank");
I have set the Internet options in the Adobe Acrobat Reader
to not launch in the browser. The problem is that every time the
reader launches it is maximized....is there a way to launch it so
that it is not maximized (even if it will use its last window size
would be good).
Thanks

Acrobat/Reader 9 were the first version to incorporate AES-256 code, so if you want to remain backwards compatible with Reader 7 or 8 you need to continue to use AES-128. I believe this is documented in the help for the section that describes how policy edit works.

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

When downloading pdf files the acrobat reader is not in the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs.

No matter what I try I can never get the Acrobat Reader to be added to the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs available in that window when downloading a pdf. I always have to browse to the Acrobat reader and select it that way.
I have enabled Acrobat in the add-ons manager, but that has not solved the problem.
In the options > applications menu I've selected use Acrobat Reader for pdf files but that doesn't work and furthermore doesn't seem to stick. That is, sometimes when I check that menu later the selection has reverted to "always ask".
I'm using Firefox 32 on Windows 7. I have used Firefox on XP for years and never had this problem.

Here are some screen shots to backup my claims.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

Hello,
When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers. I am therefore unable to print anything. This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine. The printer is connected via wifi.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader. I have restarted my computer. The issue still persists.
My system information is as follows:
Windows 8 64 bit pc
Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
Any solutions are much appreciated
Regards

I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

Acrobat Reader will not open scanned files

Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, I have been unable to view any documents scanned with my Lexmark printer/scanner.
Until now, I have scanned documents to a PDF in the following manner:
- I Press Scan mode on Printer/Scanner
- Printer/Scanner downloads Application List
- I choose "Scan to Acrobat Reader" and press Start to begin
- Printer/Scanner screen says "Scanning to Acrobat Reader" as document scans & "Scanning Completed" when it finishes
- Message box displays on Computer screen that says "adding image"
- ABBYY FineReader 6 Plus progression meter is displayed on Computer screen until document is 100% processed.
- PDF file of the scanned document opens on Computer screen by Acrobat Reader
Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, everything works the same except the final step. I am unable to view the PDF, and therefore I am unable to save the document. Does anyone know of any settings in Adobe Reader X that I need to adjust so that Adobe could work the same as the earlier version and create a PDF of a scanned document?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

I never did get a response to my original post, but I would like to share with others what I did to finally fix the problem.
The problem I described in my original post was with a Lexmark x4580 printer.
I removed Adobe X from my PC and downloaded previous versions of Adobe reader until I found one that worked. It turned out that Adobe Reader 7 worked. I was able to scan a document from my Lexmark x4580 printer and Adobe 7 opened the document on my PC in a PDF.
I hope this info helps out anyone having a similar problem.
Take care and God bless,
Jay

Acrobat reader will not print what is showing on the screen

I created a business card in a graphic design program, exported it as a PDF file. When I open the pdf file in acrobat, it will display correctly on the screen, but will not print correctly.
When I click on the print icon, a box opens and shows a small preview of what is supposed to print. What shows in the small preview box is correct, but when it prints, it drops off text.
When I go back to the program that created the card, it will print correctly from that program. When I open the pdf file in Photoshop, it will print correctly in Photoshop. It just drops off text in Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader when printing.

This sounds very similar to the issue that I am having.
acrobat pro printing correctly ,same file with adobe reader printing grey instead of black.
Unfortunately I have not yet gotten any feedback, and your post being over 45 days without a response doesn't bode well for my issue either.
Sorry I can't help you.
