Choppy scrolling on adobe acrobat.

hey guys, i just installed adobe acrobat x pdf reader on my macbook air 13 2011 model core i5.
problem is: the scrolling so choppy. at first i thought it was normal but when i compared it to my friend's macbook pro (snow leopard), the scrolling in adobe was noticably choppier in mine compared to his. i have done some research via google and tried most of solution out there. i dont have air display installed or any 3rd party app that involves mirroring my display.
i am very disappointed as i expected the scrolling to be smoother, at least as smooth as older macs. i am currently on lion 10.7.3
Any suggestions? is this lions fault?
thanks

Scroll() in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader X using Javascript

Hi there,
Does someone know how scrolling works in Adobe Acrobat/Reader using javascript?
The scroll() functions needs two parameters: x and y.
How are these axises defined? Is this based per page or does the scrolling reference change every time the page changes?
Why we need to know this? We're making and application in Flash Builder that loads a PDF. External buttons need to call an embedded javascript within the PDF that scrolls up or down.
Anyone who can provide us with some information concerning this topic: thank you!
Regards
Mario

Well,
It's hard to formulate: basically we need to understand how the scrolling is handled in Adobe Reader.
Like: why does the scrolling index change every time you change to a new page. It gets resetted or something.
Anyway: you cannot create a variable "scrollVerticalIndex" and "scrollHorizontalIndex" and increment it everytime you want to go down or up/left or right and say scroll(scrollHorizontalIndex,scrollVerticalIndex). Also, if you zoom in, the dimension of your page stay the same. We cannot find a way to calculate top or bottom of a document.
In a perfect world you could say: (height of a page) x ((number of pages)-1) = total height of the document (and thus the total amount you can scroll up/down). But that is just not the case...
We want to get an insight how the scrolling works :-)
Does this make sence ;-) ?

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Adobe Acrobat Pro (CS3) Slow Scrolling

Scrolling in any .pdf document opened in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.7 is very sluggish. All other applications are fine including Acrobat Reader 8 or 9. Any suggestions?

You should post in the Adobe forums as this is the Apple forum and Acrobat Pro is Adobe software.

Why do I have slow and choppy scrolling?

I am having problems scrolling. The when I try to scroll the pages are jumpy and choppy.

I have the same problem, it's not occurring all the time, but very often. Slow response in scrolling websites, switching between tabs and very laggy when scrolling pdf documents, comparing to chrome. There's a feeling like firefox just hangs up. Can't be the computers fault, because other software works with no problems while firefox isn’t responding.
w7 Professional, i7, 4gb ram, no problems with chrome, ie.

Adobe acrobat invalid annotation object in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Version 9.3.1)

Does Acrobat still support "9 Pro"? If yes does Acrobat wish to address the issue? if already did, where?
I tried the following resolution, but problem is back:
•         Launch Adobe Acrobat.
•         Select Edit.
•         Select Preferences.
•         Select Commenting.
•         Uncheck the following boxes:
Enable text indicators and tool tips.
Ensure that popups are visible as the document is scrolled.
•         Click OK.
•         Select "Select Object Tool" on Advanced Editing Toolbar.
•         Delete comments on the problematic pages.
Any help?

For "1" -
"Location" merely identfies where the PDF is on the end-user's computer.
What you see when you view this while a PDF is open on your computer will not be what I see.
If you come across a technique to hide/remove this for your license of Acrobat on your computer this technique won't be on my computer.
For "2" -
Select Advanced > Security > Encrypt with Password
In the Password Securtiy - Setting dialog locate "Permission" (about half way down).
Tick "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
Configure as desired.
Be well...

Conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and how I fixed it

For the past 5 years, I have owned Adobe Acrobat version 9, and recently installed Adobe Reader as well (version 10.7). I was previously able to set up Firefox to use Acrobat to display PDF files in the browser without downloading them, but I recently noticed that this was no longer the case. Instead, every PDF file I tried to view was being downloaded instead. I came here to find a solution, and discovered that many other people are having similar problems. I followed the instructions given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them), but found that they were actually UNhelpful. They tell you to turn off the Firefox PDF viewer by editing about:config to disable the file pdfs.js, which is the native Firefox PDF viewer-- but that will cause the PDF file type to disappear from the Tools/Options dialog, so you can't assign it to another program (whether Adobe or anything else). This makes it impossible to assign the Adobe plugin to open PDF files. I did figure out a solution on my own, and wanted to post it here to help other users with the same problem.
I ultimately learned, through trial and error and a lot of research both here and on Adobe's website, that the root cause of my problem was a conflict in Firefox between Acrobat and Reader. I was able to solve it by upgrading Acrobat, getting rid of Reader and enabling the Firefox PDF viewer so that I could assign the PDF file type to the Acrobat plugin within Firefox. Here are the details of my problem and how I solved it:
1. Acrobat and Reader conflict with each other in Firefox, but this isn't totally Firefox's fault. It's mostly Adobe's fault, and they pretty much admit it. Specifically, they say that Acrobat and Reader can't coexist on the same machine unless both are version 10 or higher. They tell you to upgrade to solve the problem--but I can't afford to pay for a new version of Acrobat. If you have to keep Acrobat 9.x, Adobe says the lowest version of Reader that will work with it is Reader 11. I couldn't upgrade to this because I have Vista, and Adobe hasn't issued Reader 11 for Vista (and doesn't plan to). I did cheat and download the Win 7 version of Reader 11, but it didn't help.
2. If you have both Acrobat and Reader, you can choose a setting in Reader to make it the default PDF handler--but Firefox ignores this information and defaults to Acrobat no matter what. (This is the part we can blame Firefox for.) If you have a version of Acrobat which is below 9.5.5, Firefox actually blocks it as a security risk, so the plugin won't work at all, regardless of version number. That's why PDFs are being downloaded through your standalone program instead of being displayed in the browser. If you want to view PDFs in Firefox and keep Acrobat on your computer, you MUST upgrade Acrobat to version 9.5.5 or above.
3. Unless you can upgrade Acrobat to at least 10.x, GET RID OF READER. As long as you can access Acrobat 9.5.5, it will work fine in Firefox and there's no need for Reader. I never used to have Reader myself, only Acrobat, but it must have been downloaded automatically when Acrobat was blocked by Firefox (which I didn't even realize).
4. IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ACROBAT 9.X TO 9.5.5, YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TODAY--6/26/13. Adobe has announced that today is the "end of life" for the Acrobat 9.x platform, and all support and upgrades will cease after today.
When I searched for updates by going to Adobe's website, it told me there were none available--but when I checked for them FROM THE ACROBAT PROGRAM ITSELF (Help/Check for updates), I was offered a 300 MB upgrade that took me all the way from version 9.0 to 9.5.5 in one step. (It did take a very long time to download and install.)
5. Once you have Acrobat 9.5.5, this is how to enable it in Firefox:
a. INSIDE ACROBAT, set your preference for "Internet" to "view PDF files in browser." Close Acrobat. Close Firefox if it's already open.
b. Reopen Firefox. Check Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins to make sure the Acrobat plugin is there. Enable it if disabled. Close Firefox.
If the plugin isn't there at all, repair your Acrobat installation through Control Panel. Then return to Firefox and enable it. Close Firefox.
c. Reopen Firefox again. Go to Tools/Options and check the list of file types. For the names that contain "Adobe" and "Acrobat," Acrobat should be set as the default program to open them. Select it from the drop-down list if it's not. Continue to scroll through the alphabetical list--you should see another entry called Portable Document Format. If it's there, the default will be "preview in Firefox." You should be able to change this to "Acrobat (in Firefox)" using the drop-down menu. Do NOT pick the option that says "Acrobat"--this is the standalone program and will cause your PDFs to be downloaded.
If you don't see "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as an option, this means your plugin is not working. Go back and fix it using the instructions above (including repair of Acrobat if necessary).
d. If you don't see a file type for "Portable Document Format" at all, that means the Firefox PDF viewer is disabled. You must enable it by editing the about:config file. To see it, type about:config in the Firefox address bar. You will get a warning message--just click OK and keep going.
This file is a long list of statements in alphabetical order. LOOK FOR A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "pdfjs.disabled" with a Boolean value of "true." Select this statement and right-click. A context menu will offer you choices including "Toggle." Select that one, which will change the Boolean value to "false." Exit about:config. Close Firefox.
e. Now return to Tools/Options, scroll through the list of file types, and you should see "Portable Document Format." Select "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as in the instructions above. Close Firefox.
f. The first time you try to open a PDF file in Firefox, you may get a dialog box which offers you choices of how to open the file. The first will be Acrobat, but DON'T CHOOSE THAT--it will cause your PDF to download. Instead, go to the choice that says "Open as application/pdf." You don't need to change the program that opens this file type, because your settings are already correct. Your PDF should open in the browser, with the full-featured Acrobat menu (including the option of editing or saving the file).
I hope other users can benefit from the truly painful experience I had figuring all of this out. Good luck.

Cursor arrow gone from solid black to having white lines go through it and trackpad is not working properly in mail and adobe acrobat - anyone know how this could have happened and how to solve it?

Can anyone help me? Concerned that I may have some kind of malware. My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely, The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it. The trackpad does not function normally either. For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail it sometimes works and sometimes does not. In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work. In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.1.0, Chinese Fonts & OCR

You can see the version of Adobe Acrobat I am using. When I scan a document with Chinese fonts they appear just fine on screen. That means I've got "pictures" of the characters. However, I want to use my OCR function so that I actually have the individual Chinese characters and individually manipulate them (bring them into a word processor). I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is can anyone tell me how to do it?
Thanks

"7.1.4" was the last update for Acrobat 7.
There are no updates after this as the Acrobat 7.x product family went into product End of Support.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2 blurry shadow problem

Hi all,
This problem is very strange and just happened to me last week.
When I opened 1 PDF file, the problem didn't occured, but when I opened 2 or more PDF, this problem occured.
This is the normal file
Open this image to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test.jpg
But after I scroll the PDF file (using the scroll in the right side) and then stop, slowly but sure, the PDF screen and font start to get blurry and blurry (you can see there is a diagonal line from upper left to the bottom right screen, the left screen is blurrer than the right screen)
Open this image2 to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test2.jpg
And if I highlight some of the text and scroll the mouse down, the screen will become unbelieable blurry, just like this.
Open this image3 to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test3.jpg
Thank you so much in advanced for helping... Already looking the answer for several days without any solution.
What should I do ?
NB : I have try to uninstall and install this software but it still happened.
NB2 : I tried to install Acrobat Reader (free) and I got the same problem
NB3 : I changed my Adobe CS4 to CS5 several weeks agao. I don't know if this is the problem.

So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
Thank you so much in advanced.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1 STD & MS Project 2007 crash after converting project files to PDF

Need some help. Currently I create complex projects schedules (3-7 pages in length) and then convert to a .PDF thru Adobe Acrobat 8.1STD and although it takes a little bit, it does create the .PDF file. However when I open in Adobe Reader and try to scroll pages, it crashes and closes out Adobe completely without any error message after about 5-10 seconds. I run MS Office 2007 Small Business and all other conversions in Excel and Word are working just fine, it is only between these two software packages. Any Suggestions??

AA STD 8.1.2 Correction, I do not have Reader (Only other Adobe products are Adobe Flash Player ActiveX and Adobe Shockwave Player) on my PC but when I open the PDF it does open in AA STD 8.1.2. Also, have tried this on other PC;s and same problem occurs and we e-mail these PDF's to our consultants and they are having the same problem whereby they are unable to scroll view thru the document/PDF and unable to print it out on their end.

Quality of pdf files not clear after conversion (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Std)

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 standard and my computer is running on Windows XP SP3 (with Office 2003 SP3). Everything used to works fine until my laptop crashed and I need to re-install everything.
Now when I want to convert PowerPoint presentation files (with pictures, diagrams), the pdf version becomes not clear and the fonts are smudged.
I have re-install Adobe twice but ended up with the same problems. My colleague is able to convert the same PowerPoint using CutePDF without any problem.
Please help. Thanks.

You may want to try the following steps:
open a pdf file
click Edit
click Preference
in Resolution section: select Use system setting: 144 pixels/inch
in Rendering section: select For Monitor, select Smooth line art, select Smooth images, select Use local fonts, select Use page cache
in Page Content and Information section: select Use smooth zooming, select Use smooth scrolling
click OK

I need an Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard download link

How do i download adobe acrobat standard

I have a serial number I have obtained 12-2013. I have formatted by computer and want to reinstall the Adobe Acrobat Standard. Where can I download it from?

It is a top-level link, but the link has been purposely hidden off the bottom of every page on their site unless you scroll down. It was certainly a conscious choice to do that. It would be interesting to hear the rationale.
One way to look at it would be: if things were easier to find on the website (weren't purposely hidden for beauty's sake) there would be less calls to support and if there were less calls to support there wouldn't need to be an embargo on Phone and Chat support for everything except basic installation and question related to Creative Cloud, and everything else directed to the forums.

Choppy scrolling on adobe acrobat.
