Disable Preferences in Adobe Reader 7

Hello everybody,
I have got a problem with Adobe Reader 7 on terminal servers (Windows 2000 SP4). All plug ins the users do not need are disabled. The last thing is, that I need to disable Preferences (Edit -> Preferences). Is that possible?
If yes, how can I do this. The users must not take changes there?
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

Your experience is better, than mine. I look after a website for a Electronics Servicing organization. I've created many PDF using Acrobat 3 - 7.0.7 (the older versions on OS9. I use OSX.3.9 on a G4-500 using 1.5 Gb of System RAM. And I uses OSX.4.5 on a PowerBook 17" using 2 GB of system RAM. Since switch to Acrobat 6 and then 7 I've never been able to have anyone view a PDF created in 6 or 7 Format. The File appears to be there and the file fize indicates it has content. Whether viewing on a PC or a Mac. If viewed on a PC all that is seen is a Blank page with no text, and if it had a graphic no graphic is shown. If however; the person on the other end happens to have Acrobat or Reader 6 they can view the Acrobat 6 Files. And If they have 7 they can see the 6 and 7 files as well as anything below. However; most of the PC viewers I deal with still use Acrobat or Reader 5. Its these viewers I find that can't view the files. I've noticed also that when you do getinfo on a Acro/Reader, or 7 File created on my computer that in the thumbnail preview, all you see is the Acrobat A symbol, or a Blank thumbnail. Opening in 7 they can be viewed. Opening in 5 (I still have a OS9 Drive and e.5.0.5 installed) all I get is a Blank page no text and no Graphics if any in the content. SO every since 6 and 7 have come out I've had to save, then optimize for Acrobat 5 in order for my readers to see the pdf's.

  • Unable to change preferences for Adobe Reader 9.4.2 on Ubuntu 11.04

    I installed Adobe Reader 9 via the Ubuntu Software Center.  The installed files are located at /opt/Adobe/Reader9/
    The reader runs ok except when I want to change some preferences, I've found that I can only view Preferences, but I cannot change it.  All options are protected including the Cancel and OK buttons.  I can only close the Preferences window.
    Is it just a simple permission (chmod on some files) issue?
    Many thanks.

    If you have the latest updates, then Acrobat Reader 9.4.2 does (at least) partially work in Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity.
    There are a number of minor glitches - due to changes in Ubuntu's undelying GUI, kernal, etc. in the upgrde to Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
    -  floating scroll bars (only appearing when you hover mouse-cursor)
    DOES NOT WORK: Does not scroll page .. 
    You may need to disable this feature.  (in CCSM)
    -  Edit >> Preferences
    This tries to work, but loses focus.  I can see the Cancel and Ok buttons, but they don't do anyhting.
    This is a GTK+ library issue, and an update to 9.4.2+ is needed.
    Summary: There are a number of minor GUI issues that haev existed in 9.4.x for Linux.  The update to Gnome 3 and Unity (for Ubuntu 11.10) has definitely made this much worse.

  • How to disable EchoSign in Adobe Reader 10, 11?

    Adobe Reader 11 comes with a free EchoSign. We have our own standard eSignature so we do not want anyone within the organization to use EchoSign which is not approved enterprise-wise.
    From Adobe Reader 11 installation / configuration / group policy, how can we disable the EchoSign feature (gray it out)?
    Thanks.

    You can only digitally sign a file in Reader if the author of it added a Digital Signature field and enabled the required rights for you to do it.
    Otherwise you can use one of the other tools under the Sign panel, but it will not be a real digital signature, just a comment.

  • Adobe Reader X - Clicking Preference Crashes Adobe Reader

    I have a system with Windows 7 x64 and Adobe Reader X. Everytime I hit Edit>Preference, Adobe Reader gives and error saying it has stopped working. Does anyone know the fix for this?

    I did try to reinistall it, without the cleanup tool, and that didn't work. I installed the OS on a different machine but same model hardware and it still crashes when I click on preference. I then installed Reader on a different set of hardware with the same OS and it works fine. I wouldn't think Reader would look at the hardware or does it?

  • Is there any way to disable printing in adobe reader in the file menu and ctrl + P, but still be able to print with a button on the form?

    I am creating a form, but want to restrict the printing to function only by using a button on the form itself and not by using ctrl + p or the File menu. Is this possible?

    It is pretty hard to shut off a system level action like the "Crtl/Optn" + P print method. This is a system level feature because it is a standard in all applications. Think about what could happen if you turned off this feature in a given application and that application failed and did not restart this feature.
    Look at the "Will Print" document action. This runs no matter how the print action is started.

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Reader

    I cannot launch Adobe Reader, got the following message
    When I close program, a message says "Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Reader."  I have searched the Microsoft Community for fixes, but those suggestions don't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic Version 6 Service Pack 2, 32 bit and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.4

    You can download the 10.1.9 update patch from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5712
    Protected Mode is normally disabled from within Adobe Reader Preferences.  Since you cannot even open Adobe Reader, you can disable it via Windows registry: download, unzip, then run the attached registry script.

  • Adobe Reader XI internal error.

    I just installed Adobe Reader XI. Now I can't print.

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    Also try Print as Image (Advanced button on Print panel).

  • No Drag&Drop in Adobe Reader X to Excel or Word...

    With Adobe Reader 9.4.1 it was possible to copy text with drag&drop to Excel or Word.

  • OLE object error when using with Access 2003 and Adobe Reader X

    I link to .pdf files in Access 2003 and since upgrading to Adobe Reader X yesterday, am unable to link to these files.  I receive an error stating "A problem occurred while accessing the OLE object". It goes on to tell me to verify that the file is where I say it is and that it is accessible, which it is.   I can go to that file in Adobe Reader and open it.

    Disable the protection mode in the preferences of Adobe Reader.

  • Default Printer problems in Adobe Reader

    Repost:
    I have over 50 users with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed.  Every morning someone calls and says Adobe Reader reported that there are no printers installed on their system.  When I check their PC I find that the default printer setting has been removed and there is no default printer set.  Once reset they have no problems with the printers or their other applications.  This only happens when trying to print a PDF.
    Why is Adobe Reader removing the default printer setting? 
    The driver has NOT been removed.  Just the default setting.
    In very PLAIN English the default printer check mark is GONE.

    This is a strange issue indeed.!!!
    Can you please let me know, whether the problem reproducible only after opening any specific file? It might be that the file is running a JavaScript on the system causing the default printer setting to be removed.
    To verify the same, you can try and disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader 9.3.3 on some of the client systems, and then observe whether the problem is reproducible on their systems as they go around their normal work. (To disable javscript, goto Edit > Preferences > JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript)
    If any client system tries to open a file which is trying to run a JavaScript code, they will get a Yellow message Bar on top of their page, asking for permissions to run JavaScript. This will give you an idea about the problematic file.
    Hope this helps you zero in on the issue..

  • Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

  • Can not install Adobe Reader in Windows 8.

    Setup was interrupted before adobe Reader XI could be completely installed.
    Error Code: 150210
    Worked fine on Windows 7. Even tried downloading the entire installer still didnt work. I got desperate and tried to install Foxit reader, it wouldn't install either, wouldnt even launch everything else has installed just fine.
    I tried compatibilitymode etc etc, I really need to print these shipping labels!!
    Thanks
    Well I disabled Norton and Adobe reader wouldn't install but foxit reader did.

    You may want to try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
