Conflict with Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 6

I'm having an issue with a conflict between Reader 9 and Acrobat 6. PDF files open properly in Reader 9, but when I open URL's with PDF links it defaults to Acrobat 6. Reader 9 is the default program on my machine to open PDF's and I have tried to edit preferences, but it still does not work.
I have uninstalled Acrobat 6, but I really like the idea of "printing" to a PDF. If I decide to reinstall Acrobat 6 should I uninstall Reader 9 first and then reinstall it again later?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can do what you have stated as well i.e. Uninstall Reader 9 and reinstall Acrobat 6 and then Reader 9. But do make sure that while installing Reader 9, select Reader 9 as the default PDF viewing application when you are prompted.
Or, once you have installed BOTH Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 on your system, please change the following registry key to point to AcroRd32.exe (usually present at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe").
HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Hope this resolves your problem

Acrobat Pro 9.5 conflict with Adober Reader 9?

I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5 on my Mac running OS X 10.6.8. I am having problems with an online learning site I need for a client. It wants me to install Adobe Reader 9. Will it create a conflict to have both programs on my computer?

I already have 9.5.4.
I have over 500Gigs Free space on my HD
I print to B&W, and Color and just back to the Adobe Driver (to create another PDF as a test-and still crashes if I attempt more than about 200 PDFs). I have tried it with 6 Different Printers, even at Economy printing. I always keep all my drivers (like software updates) to the latest and greatest. in fact, I checked to make sure they were all when I got the 1st crash.
If I select more than about 200, the entire program crashes, it doesn't even attempt to start printing.
Printer Spooling Not on.
Just printing simple B & W line drawings (at 8 1/2 X 11)
Here are just a few printers I have tried...
Kyocera TASKalfa 520i KX PS and PCL
Xerox 4110 PCL & PS
Xerox 4112 PCL & PS
Xerox 7545 PS & PCL
Xerox Phaser 7760

Confirmation That I Understand What I Can and Cannot Do With Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I am new to working with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Adobe Reader XI. Based on research I have done and questions answered in the Adobe Communities and Forum, I wanted to make sure I understand the limitations of these two products before I report back to my supervisor. (We do not want to use XFA forms to obtain data in an xml file.)
1. Adobe Reader XI will allow a user to save a fillable PDF document to his/her local PC. But it is only possible to save it as a PDF.
2. Adobe Reader XI will not allow a user to export the data in a fillable PDF into an xml file (unless you purchase the LiveCycle Reader Extensions license).
3. Adobe Reader XI will not allow a PDF file to be displayed in a .NET program unless the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" checkbox in Preferences/Security(Enhanced) has been unchecked. (The previous version of Reader would allow this without disabling security.)
4. Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to scan a form and create a fillable PDF.
5. Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to save the fillable form as a PDF or XML. However, it is the form that is being saved as an XML file. Not the data.
6. Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to export the data of a form into an xml file, an .fdf file, an .xfdf file, or a .txt file.
7. If a programmer writes a program in .NET to save the data of a PDF as an .xfdf file using IAC code, it will only work on a PC that has Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro). If we need this executable to work on other PCs, we would need to purchase additional licenses of Adobe Acrobat - a license for every PC that needs to run the executable.
8. If a programmer writes JavaScript code using trusted functions to get around security issues, that code will work on a PC that has Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro) but will not work on Adobe Reader XI. Again, if we wanted our JavaScript to work, we would need to purchase Adobe Acrobat for every PC that would run the code.
Please let me know if I have understood all of this correctly. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments to each of my statements, Irosenth. That has been extremely helpful.
I probably needed more of an explanation on statement #3. I wrote a .NET program that used this line: "Process.Start("AcroRd32", FilePath)" and when I ran the executable on a desktop PC that only had Adobe Reader XI on it, Reader would not open unless we unchecked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box. I researched this and found several references to this being a problem in Readers since Reader 9. I just wanted to make sure this was correct. One article indicated that we could change the security setting within the registry using code and then change it back.
Item #8 needed more information as well. I had tried to use the "exportAsXFDF()" in a trusted function and it would never work in Reader. It has an "F" in the availability column of the "Quick Bar" in the JavaScript API Reference which means it requires "forms rights". I saw that; but it was not clear to me if that meant that a trusted function would work. So, it looks like trusted functions will not get around security settings if forms rights are required.

Adobe Pro 11 conflict with Adobe reader on Firefox

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro 11 trial version and also have adobe reader on my Windows 7. I get error only on firefox when trying to open the pdf attachment stating "there was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
The pdf attachment works fine with Chrome, or when attaching to an outlook email.
Is there a fix, or should I just uninstall the adobe acrobat pro trial??

Are you using the Adobe Reader plugin, or Firefox' own PDF viewer?

Issue with Adobe Reader 9 and Snow Leopard

I can not seem to open any of my pdfs on my new MacbookPro.
Looking at version Adobe Reader 9 it does not show this OS 10.6.1 as system option
Any suggestions? I have a ton of pdfs I need to review for work and did not anticipate this problem

Same here... 9.1.3 works just fine on my Macbook as well... Originally after downloading 9.1.0, I had a few issues downloading the update in but nothing otherwise.

Acrobat Reader XI and Acrobat 8 prof

Running windows 7 64 bit with Adobe Reader XI and on same pc Acrobat Prof. 8 is also installed.
When opening a pdf in explorer the following comes: "Cannot use Adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will not exit.
Please exit your browser and try again"
Default pdf program is adobe XI, so it is not because it try to use Acrobat 8 in the browser.

Acrobat versions before 10 and Adobe Reader on the same system was not really a supported configuration.
But I don't know if this is what causes your problem (I have never seen that error message before).
What is your IE version?

Continued problems with Adobe Reader 9.3.1

Adobe Reader stops at the half-way mark in the progress block when loading a form to print. Cannot get this fixed. Does anyone out there have a fix for this. Is Adobe even recognizing that there is a problem with this. Error message keeps telling me that there is a problem with Adobe Reader, exit and try again.

I haven't been able to print any .pdf files since I downloaded 9.3.
My message says Internet Explorer has closed it down because of data executable files. I've changed my DEF settings to allow
Adobe Reader but it still doesn't work. I never had any problems before with newer versions.

Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

Hi experts,
We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
"Error attempting to read from file.
http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
Thanks and best regards,
Fernando Montenegro

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

Adobe Reader 9 and Hyperion Planning Financial Reports - bug?

Our company is starting a rollout of Adobe Reader 9 (currently we are on Adobe Reader 8). For those users that have upgraded to Adobe Reader 9, when the select a report (via explore in workspace) and choose 'Preview as PDF'
the actions differ between Reader versions.
Version 8 - The report would preview within workspace
Version 9 - Reader application is launched and displays in preview mode
The users Reader 9 (edit / preferences) is set to 'Display PDF within browser'
Curious if others have come across this problem and what they did to resolve it. (I also have a SR with oracle)
JTS

Never mind on this again...
The problem appears to be workstation related to one user only. After doing tests on 10 different users, no user had problems with Preview as PDF with Adobe Reader 9 and Planning 9.3.1 on IE 6

Adobe Reader conflicts with Adobe Acrobat?

It looks like there are some conflicts between Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat:
I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9 without problems but when running the downloaded file(.exe) the seup is interrupted before Adobe Reader 9 could be completelly installed. A message shows up saying: "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Adobe Reader 6.0.msi".
In fact, I had Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 installed some timew ago, but it was properly uninstalled as I did everything possible to completelly uninstall it, inclusive runing Registry Clean.
The same problem arises if I try do install a previous version of Adobe Reader (e.g. 8.0).
Can anyone please help to solve this probem?
Thank you.

This is not a solution, it is a work-around for bad programming practices.
I recently had a problem with links from one document to another for literature on our website. The problem was with both Acrobat and Reader where if I did not check the Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser", the pdf document would download into my "Tempoary Internet Files" folder. From there it expected to find and open the linked document. Our literature website downloads all literature from a common folder on the host.
This problem came up after upgrading (or is it downgrading?) from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was not a problem with Windows XP.
The fix for links was to check Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser". Now the fix for error 1316 is to UNCHECK Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser".
I want both Acrobat and Reader loaded in my system so I can TEST the form or any changes I make from Acrobat.
I am really frustrated by this, especially when I get calls from my customers who are accessing our literature online and having the same problems. What do I tell them? Contact Adobe? NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GIVE ME A REAL SOLUTION, GUYS!!!
FYI: Try using FireFox or Opera browser. You may have better results.

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.
