Help with Using Adobe Reader with iBook G4

I have downloaded Adobe Reader 7.0.8 several times in order to read eBooks on my G4 12"iBook using OS 10.4.7. I activated the Adobe program as directed but continue to get an error message when attempting to use the application. The message indicates that...
Could not create an EDB database: Unable to load the specified database dynamic link library.
I've sent Adobe Reader 7.0.8 to the trash and reinstalled the program from the Adobe site several times thinking that something is missing from the download; I still get the error message. Amazingly I did the same process on my iMac G5 desktop and everything works fine; the book shows up! I've posted the problem on Adobe forums for Reader but no help came back.

some info from Adobe site:
http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/54170.htm
also found this suggestion on Adobe forum:
"Under Adobe Reader 7.05, the edb1drv file is in the following directory: macos/selfhealfiles/CFMSupport/Library/CFMSupport/edb1drv
Exit from Adobe Reader 7.05. Locate the file and move that file to the /Library/CFMSupport/ folder. Then restart Adobe Reader 7.05. Adobe Reader 7.05 will be able to read the edb1drv file and stop the error message."

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.

Sure. Download Adobe Reader from the App Store on the iPad. Or download it on iTunes, and sync it to your iPad.

Help! Lost Adobe Reader with update attempt!

We had Adobe Reader 8, and we have never had an issue updating to newer versions. When 9 came out our computer went to do the update (it's set to automatically detect updates and start them early in the morning if we don't start them manual by then) but when it was almost done it popped up saying we didn't have the ability to do the update...something along the lines of not being the administrator on the computer. The computer login we were using is the one we always use and is most definately the administrator of the computer.
I figured perhaps there was a glitch or something so I restarted the computer. Well now the old Adobe Reader is gone (the "update" erased the old version to be replaced by the new one) and when I go to restart the install it's telling me it's just a trial and that after 40 days I have pay for it.
I can't just reinstall the original reader because we had it already installed on the computer when we bought it.
Can anyone help?
Meanwhile, anyone here good with fixing MS Office 2003 issues? We can't get the WordArt to print out right. It prints the graphics, but they're just blocks of color or white lettering in blocks of color. And it doesn't matter what Office program it is we use. Regular graphics print out fine, it's just the Word Art.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry for omitting that information; yes, this is the installer without AIR and Acrobat.com - I recommend that you use this download (above) if you don't want the additional tools.
The full installer can be downloaded from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/enu/AdbeRdr910_en_US_Std.exe (41MB).

What is up with using Adobe stuff with Leopard 10.5.2?

All of my new Adobe DS Premium stuff is crashing upon launch suddenly and I'm told that there is a bug on Apple's side with compatibility here. Nobody's "home" at Adobe right now; I have tons of work to get done. I purchased their Design Suite Premium package and up until a week or so ago, everything worked just fine. Today an update came along - I installed it per the instructions, and I am still not only finding it impossible to launch the program but the dialog box pops up from Apple every time offering to send a message to Apple re the problem (and again, on the Adobe site, there is some noise there about this being something Apple is working on). Does ANYbody have any insight into this and/or at LEAST a workaround???? I've already run that CS 3 clean thing of Adobe's several times and run DU. Everything else on my system works fine.

What update did you install?
I see there are about 7 updates available since the last time I updated.
adobe reader 8 language support, adobe air update for flash, adobe bridge 2.1.1 update, start meeting 1.0.1, flash lite update, adobe asset services and adobe version cue3.1.0.
I don't have version cue installed anyway.
I turned off auto updating just for the reason you opened this discussion.
I have found doing any updates with any unnecessary programs or processes running
is a big risk because of locked and in use files not getting updated properly.
This may be what has happened in your case.
I update all software in safe mode if possible. If that isn't practical for some reason, I
shut down all unnecessary programs and processes before updating and do a disk check.
It only takes one corrupt file to shut you down or cripple an application or applications.

Can i use adobe reader

Can i use Adobe reader with my imac?

You can if you really need to.
Many Mac Users get by using Preview and the built-in Preview ability in Safari to view most .pdf files. But you can certainly download and use Adobe Reader if you prefer it.
Be sure to get it ONLY directly from adobe:

Please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

Hi kevinv1987,
It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

Hi,
We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.

Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.

I am having issues with printing using Adobe Reader

I am currently using adobe reader and have not been able to print with my HP DeskJet 3050, I have both reinstalled my drivers and Reader, yet they both will not work. Every time I click print it brings up the printing options screen, from there I have tried the following: I have tried printing the document as an image, changing the language to see if the printer itself could not handle the printing language and I have also tried to save the document as a preprint and printing it from there yet it is still not working.

Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
Please advice.

Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB
