Choosing language for Adobe reader

I have indicated my operating system and chosen English as the language.  Nevertheless I get French.  I live in a French speaking area but, as we know, French is a 19th century language and totally useless today.  I need English but the system refuses to give it to me although I have chosen it.  What's wrong and why can't I have English?  I have been messing around with a reinstallation for 3 days now and I'm mad.

I suggest that you use the cleaner tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I agree that translating computer terms to French, German, and other languages is highly ridiculous...

  • How to install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X

    Hi guys, just question that how to silencely install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X?
    I know some silence switch as below:
    setup.exe /sAll /rs
    =>  Silencely install all supported languages
    setup.exe /sAll /rs /sl "xxxx" (xxxx is LANG ID)
    =>  Silencely install one specified language only (defined by LANG ID)
    Question:
    If I would like to silencely install several specified languages, is there any other switch to do that?
    Thank you all in advance.

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Reader X MUI version and I tried your way but doesn't work unfortunately.

    And I used the switch of "Setup.exe /sAll /rs /ini "setup.ini""
    My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Thank you.

  • Multiple language installer for Adobe Reader

    I need a compressed multiple language installer for Adobe Reader to install with my software.  Is one available?

    When we requested a license to distribute the multi-language version of Adobe Reader with our software, we recieved the following link to a download:
    "For full installers: "
    "To download the English language version of Adobe Reader 9 with Acrobat.com in compressed .exe format, click here."
    When you click on the link, you get a single file (AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe).  This is an installation for english only.  I am looking for a single .exe file for a multi-language installation. 
    The link you provided above is to a .zip file that must be extracted and then run.  This requires additional steps in our installation process.  We were hoping you have a single installation file to prevent these additional steps.

  • Chinese language support for adobe reader for HP WEBOS?

    is there any traditional chinese language support for adobe reader for HP WEBOS?
    if yes, where can I download?

    Pat, I got an answer this morning. Not sure if you saw it because I don't see it posted here for some reason.  This is the answer:
    Re: forum support for Adobe Reader
    created by Nikhil.Gupta in Adobe Reader - View the full discussion
    The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
    The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
    If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

  • Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Reader 11 isn't supported for Vista (although it has been succesfully installed).
    To get it, you need to choose the option for a different language or OS and select an OS that is supported. Then it wil give you the option to download 11.
    But again, not supported.

  • 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.

  • Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
    "Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
    And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
    So, with that out of the way....
    I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
    As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
    That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
    This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
    The URL to access the page is
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
    From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
      -- Windows XP 64 Bit
      -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
    Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
    Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
    In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
    According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
    So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

  • Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

    All,
    I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's.  Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google.  The browser displayed the following error:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
    The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat.  The installation must have changed the default viewer.  So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat.  I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..."  This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
    I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0.  But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
    Does Acrobat function independently of Reader?  Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly?  Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Neal
    [email address deleted by host]

    They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

    Hi terryjeanlaw,
    Using Adobe Export PDF, you can export PDF files to Word document (.docx and .doc),  Excel document (.xlsx), Powerpoint document (.pptx), Rich Text Format document (.rtf) and Image (.jpg, .tiff, .png). In order to convert to PDF, you need to either purchase PDF Pack (Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack) or Adobe Acrobat XI (PDF creator, create PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI).

  • Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

      After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

      Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • APIs for Adobe Reader to get the x, y co-ords,width,height of all elements (text/image) in a PDF doc

    Hi all,
    I have written a Acrobat plugin using  PDFEdit APIs to extract x, y co-ordinates, width and height of all  elements(objects) in a PDF document.
    Now, I wanted to make the same working on Adobe Reader.I have added the READER_PLUGIN macro enabled in Project settings.
    When I re-compiled the code, I got a bunch of errors saying all PDFEdit APIs are not available under Adobe Reader.
    My  objective is to parse through the entire PDF document and get x, y  co-ordinates, width, height of all PDF objects (especially Image and  Text objects).
    Can anybody help me how to achieve this ?
    Thanks
    Prasanth

    I know that we cannot obtain the PDEContent of a PDF page from Adobe Reader, as PDEContent is modifiable content and as such it cannot be accessible from Adobe Reader.
    Also, as PDFEdit API's does not work for Adobe Reader, we are trying to figure out a way to achieve this for Adobe reader.
    I am curious to know if the COS APIs can help us in this task.
    I tried to read the stream content using PDPageStmGetToken API. I get the data of this format:
    344.88 0 0 91.44 71.882 41.92cm
    Here, as per PDF reference, I am getting only distance from X Axis and distance from Y Axis. But not width and height.
    Can you knidly let us how to get the image attributes (primarly read only attributes like x and y co-ordinates, width and heoght) with Cos APIs.
    Thanks

  • Developing an Add-in for Adobe Reader to insert the PDF into Lotus Notes

    Hi
    We currently have a document management solution in MS Word & Excel, where by you can open/create a document click a button that is linked to a macro and it brings a Document Management screen up and allows you to save the file into a new Lotus Notes Document.
    We are now trying to get the same functionality into Adobe Reader, whereby a user can open a PDF they have on their PC and then go to a menu item and it will perform similar function to our macro/VB that we have setup in MS Word & Excel.
    Does anyone know of anyone who has developed such an idea or could point me in the right direction of where to start developing as I have never developed any add-in/plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
    This needs to be done really in Visual Basic, but any help would be great
    Thanks
    Ian

    You start by downloading the Acrobat SDK.
    In the SDK is information about developing a plugin for Reader, which will require you to obtain a license from Adobe.  Submit the necessary paperwork to see if you are approved.   It doesn’t make much sense to start development if you don’t get approval.
    Once approved, you will want a copy of Adobe Acrobat for development as it’s easier than developing with Reader.
    Plugins are developed in C/C++ and there are samples in the SDK.
