Error using Acrobat Reader in W2K Terminsl Services

We are trying to install Reader 9.0 on a Windows 2003 SP2 64BIT Terminal Services server and have used several methods, but if anyone other thatn an administrator tries to open a PDF or start the program it receives a VB Runtime error and closes after acknowledging the error. The Application log shows: Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.3053, fault address 0x000046b4.
I have installed it using the Add Remove Programs (which is suppose to put it in Install mode) and running it the first time as an admin while still in install mode. I also tried manually placing the server in install mode (change user /install) then running the app before putting it in execute mode, same result.
Any information on getting this to work would be appriaciated.
Thanks,
Nlaurino

The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.
You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.

I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015. When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service". What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

Hi DeaconTomColorado,
Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

Error opening PDF files using Acrobat Reader 9

I use Acrobat Reader 9 to view PDF files. I have Windows XP operating system on my machine.
In order to view encrypted PDF files on our company webiste we have to install FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenInstaller.msi which is Adobe Component
Therewas no issue viewing/accessing the PDF files until last week. But now we get below error when we try to open encrypted PDF files from our company website.
The error message is "Unable to get server data [FO error #2114, OS error #0)
Any idea what could be the cause of error?
Is anyone aware of any possible issue with Adobe FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenINstaler.msi packages

I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

"An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
Please help.

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?

I am using Acrobat Reader XI but I cannot combine and merge files

I am using Acrobat Reader XI but i cannot combine and merge files

Hi mdj4him,
To combine files, you need either Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat. (Reader doesn't create or combine PDF files.)
You can try Acrobat for free for 30 days, if you'd like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information. If you'd like to purchase a PDF Pack subscription, see http://cloud.acrobat.com.

Open multiple pdf files using Acrobat Reader?

Can we open and switch between multiple pdf files using Acrobat Reader?

Of course, but if it's Reader X or later each file will appear in its own window. This can't be changed.

How do i create a specific location in a document, that my sales personal will be able to paste in a price offer made in another app (they are using acrobat reader) ?

Hi gadi b,
It sounds like you may want to create a form field in your PDF file, which your sales personnel can paste text into. You can use either Acrobat or Adobe FormsCentral to create PDF forms. For instructions, see FormsCentral Help | Create a form or Acrobat Help | Forms.

Print report using Acrobat Reader 5?

I have a home inspection report that I am trying to print (InspectVue), using my HP5300 Notebook, with Windows XP.3. The program tells me that I need to use Acrobat Reader 5, which is no longer available (??). How do I do that (ie. get the report to print)? Thank you.

You can probably just use the current version of Reader. Hopefully, they meant "Reader 5 or later".
Is this a new inspection report or one 10+ years old?
Are you seeing a problem trying to print it?

My Acrobat XI Stanndard will not open some .pdf. I get an error stating I MUST use Acrobat reader version 9 or higher. Help!

Any ideas?

Sorry, you MUST open this form using Adobe Reader (version 9.0 or newer).
Please ensure you have Adobe Reasder installed on your computer, and then
re-open using Adobe Reader

Error: Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 or 9 is required.

I have windows XP and I recently installed a 9 version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Since then a receive the following error message: "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." I had installed the 9 version. Any idea why this is happening or more importantly, what should I do to fix it?

Lulu,
You should ask the question in the relevant Acrobat or Reader forum:

Text/html processing error with Acrobat Reader when sending to database

Hi everyone,
I have a problem that occurs in certain versions of the Acrobat Reader, with Acrobat Professional the error message does not pop up.
In Acrobat Reader however, when sending the form to a php file to fill a database an error pops up
"Content type text/html couldn´t be processed"
Nevertheless it works fine, except the fact that the confirmation "successfully sent" that should pop up (and does in Acrobat Professional) does not appear due to this processing error. What can I do?
Thanks for supporting!

Hi,
I'll only attempt the first part:
See this discussion where event.target.path.toString().substring(0, 4); was used to get the first four letters of the path. If that equalled "http", then the form was opened in a browser.

cfpdfform gives intermittent(!) rights errors in Acrobat Reader

(This question has also been asked in the Acrobat thread.)
Using Acrobat Pro 9.1 (and the corresponding Reader 9.1 on client workstations) I have constructed a fillable PDF form and granted extended Reader rights to it. I use this form for data-display and modification. (Cold Fusion 8.)
The process works flawlessly on my machine, which has Reader Pro installed. But on the Readers it will intermittently throw this error:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and the use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of the document."
Why do I say, "intermittent?" Because, if you reload the page ... sometimes if you simply resize the browser window ... "suddenly it works." The document becomes fillable on Reader. And sometimes the page appears, right from the start, as fillable. So it's apparently a timing problem.
As I said, the computers are known to have the latest Adobe Reader installed, and not every computer acts the same ... nor does any computer act the same way with any particular consistency. The forms always have the right data in them, and when the Reader consents to make them fillable, they perform exactly as they are intended. (To the Adobe team's credit, CF8 makes this remarkably easy to do...)
I can say with certainty that the underlying document (on the server) most definitely is not changing, because it has been made read-only to CF just as a precaution. I also know that the clocks on all computers are synchronized. So, I think, a lot of "sensible" causes for the problem can be eliminated ... leaving only the "nonsensical" ones, perhaps. I'm really looking for a work-around.
I have fiddled with cache-control headers (would like to know more about this...) just because I am grasping at straws now, but with no apparent effect.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
(Heh... I'd attach the "cfm" but ... go figure ... the forum software won't allow the "cfm" or "cfc" or "zip" file-types!)

I am having the same exact issue. Did you ever get a resolution to your problem?
