File handles don't close when the pdf is closed?

Using Acrobat X on Windows 7 Pro in a networked environment.
Once I open a PDF file in Acrobat, as long as I have acrobat running, (even after I have closed the file and moved on) I cannot change/move/rename the file. Since I spend a lot of time reviewing information that comes to me in a pdf, I usually have multiple PDFs open, so to shut them all, rename/move/delete one file and then go back to find all the the items I was working with is an enormous hassle. I had this problem before, than it disappeared, now it has returned. Is this normal Acrobat behavior? Or do I need to dig into network settings?

I tried what you suggested Matt G. and it didn't work. I googled my problem and it seems that other users of 10.0 have had the same problem. Basically, when a PDF is opened it "steals" the scroll function. The scroll function then only works in the PDF doc and nowhere else. As soon as the PDF is closed, the scroll function works again.
I have tried updating my plugins, have updated Adobe Reader, and tried your suggestion. I also tried a couple of other options suggested in the link you sent. No help.
Any other ideas? Thank you.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

Characters are cut off when they don't fit in the pdf report output.

Hi All,
I understand that Forms 6i and Oracle 9 iAS have been de-supported for years. Meanwhile we do still run a small application in the 9 iAS environment.
We have forms and reports running on Windows 2000 server, I am able to successfully clone the same 9 iAS from Windows 2000 to a Virtual Server Windows 2003 x32 and all runs fine, the only problem is that the fonts in the pdf reports are larger in the new Windows 2003 environment as compared to the original Windows 2000 and characters are cut off when they don't fit in the pdf report output in 2003 env.
Any advice is most appreciated.
Thanks.

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.
A good to have reference:

HELP! "There are 309 files that don't belong in the project"

I needed to reformat my OS, so I backed up all my data onto DVD+RW's. (Verbatim brand.) including my imovies. I copied the entire "blahblah.iMovieProject" folder onto the DVD, then copied it back onto the drive after the reinstall. But now when I click on the project, it prompts me about this:
"There are 309 files that don't belong in the project"
and then this:
"There are 160 stray clip files in the project folder. Would you like to put them on the clips pane?"
After I click on "Leave Files Alone" for both of them, (versus move to trash, and Move files to clips pane, respectively), The project opens completely BLANK.
Oh great. Please inform. Am I out of luck?
Oh, btw, it also created like 10 versions of each photo in the "Media" folder. ick. what happened?...
g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Also, one more thing! Now that this has happened, even after I quit and restart the computer, upon opening the application, instead of starting out with a brand new project, the same prompts appear, and then leaves me with that seemingly corrupt project which is blank.

In adf,how to delete a file generated on server,when the webpage is closed

Hi,
I have an application consisting of 2 pages. in the 1st page i will give some input details and when i click on submit, some java code is getting executed in the back. That java code generates a csv file in the server location. after succesful execution of java code, i was redirected to 2nd page. In 2nd page, i am giving option to download and when the user clicked on download button and after the file is downloaded -- in the backend i am deleting the file from the server. Till this point everything is fine. But if the user didnt click on the Download button and instead if he closes the browser, the csv file gets remained on the server itself. This is the issue i am facing .. I am not able to get an idea in ADF Framework, how to delete a file when the browser is closed. Please help me out in this.
Thanks in advance !!!

ADF has nothing to do with tracking browser close buttons. What you can do is call a JS function and call the method which deletes the file from within the JS function. ADF has a component for calling java code from JS call.

Creating a pop-up in Acrobat X that is triggered when the PDF is opened.

Hello all,
I am wanting to create a pop-up that is triggered when the PDF is opened.
The problem I am facing is that our customers are filling out the packet , but are not using the purple "Submit" button located at the top of the page to submit the form to us. They are instead printing out the form and faxing it to us, or scanning and emailing the packet, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a fillable, distributed pdf.
The email invitation that they receive is a bit wordy so I have have pared that down as well. To be honest with the amount of "Read this first" pop ups that we are exposed to daily I think that our customers are simply not reading the instructions properly.
There was a post here in the forums but the expanation was for Acrobat 7 or 8.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response George. I guess a better way communicate what I need to accomplish is "how"
I went to the toolbar on the right, then "javascript", then "Document Java Scripts". That opened a window that had me name the script, then add it, then put in the scripting (see below). I do not know how to "place it in a document-level JavaScript (outside of a function definition) or in the initial page's Page Open event."
This is the script I am attempting to use.
var message = "When you have completed filling out the Tax Organizer, click on the purple "SUBMIT" button at the top of the page. This will automaticall submit your Tax Organizer for you. Be sure to print a copy for your files"
app.alert(msg,3);
If you could provide some step by steps that would be super.
I am wanting this pop-up box to open and the client will have to then click on the "ok" button to make it dissapear so that they can then fill out the PDF.
The "Submit" button is auto created for me when I choose to distribute the form, I am unaware of any way to move it.
I feel that my issue is a elementary one, I am currently working through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as all my acrobat skills have been self taught.

A checked checkbox is rendered as unchecked in default pdf viewer of firefox. It is checked when the pdf is opened with adobe.

I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. what needs to be corrected?

In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?

I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

Close both the PDF and Acrobat Reader from Javascript

Hello,
I'm working on a C++ project which at some point open a PDF (using the ShellExecute function).
I coded some javascript in this PDF with Life Cycle Designer to print its content and finally close it automatically using event.target.closeDoc().
The problem is that just the PDF is closed but not Acrobat Reader.
I need Reader to be also terminated, to catch the end of process signal in my C++ program and to continu the execution.
Do have any idea if there is a javascript function to close Reader?
Thank you very much!

Hi John,
After a lot of research and tests, I didn't find the solution. You can't close Acrobat Reader from a pdf. (for security reasons; It's like you are not allowed to closed a browser with a javascript function).
Finally we moved to the PDF library C++ SDK, so Reader is no more opening, but we had to pay for that...

Inserting soundtracks in pdf that play automatically when the pdf is opened

Hi,
I am trying to insert an audio to a pdf that plays automatically plays when the pdf is opened (with Adobe). I am using Adobe Reader on a PC.
I could do it manually (Comments - Record Audio), but I cant get it to work automatically (i.e. without clicking on the audio symbol)
Is there anything I can do in the preferences I can do to change this?
Thanks,
Kish

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.
