How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

Group similar buttons on the taskbar
Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs  open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
Grouped taskbar buttons  
   Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu. 
Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)

    If you did that already and looked at your recent calls and the red dot doesn't disappear then try rebooting the phone. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.

    Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    ...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
    I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

  • How do I get the 1121 card to read the switch and make it a 1 or 0 to count pulses?

    Hello,
    I am developing a test stand to test tires. We have LabView 7.1 and the SCXI chassis with an 1121 transducer card. I am trying to count the rate and total number of revolutions made by the tire. The signal is acquired from a 12V-proximity switch that is actuated once per RPM. The tire turns at 1,000 RPM or a little more.
    The signal will have to go through a 100-foot cable to get to the LabView chassis, will this be a problem?
    How do I get the 1121 card to read the switch and make it a 1 or 0 to count pulses?
    Will LabView be able to read this many pulses per second?
    How do I get MPH and a RPM reading out of it?
    Thank you,
    James Happe

    Hi James,
    Since you are cabling your DAQ board to an SCXI chassis with an 1121, you will not be able to use your counters without additional hardware.
    The 1121 is an analog input signal conditioning module. It performs filtering and attenuation to help measure analog signals. What it does not have is access to your board's counter pins.
    In order to use your counter pins you will need to get the necessary hardware. You have two options:
    1) Buy and SCB-68. This is a breakout box that will cable directly to your DAQ board replacing your SCXI chassis. You can connect your signals directly to your counter with this. However, I would advise against this because your application has a 12 volt signal. This will overload the 5v maximum voltage for your counter pins.
    2) Buy a 1180 feedthrough panel. This will allow you to use all of your DAQ board's functions with the SCXI chassis. Withouth the 1180 feedthrough panel, the SCXI-1121 is the only thing connected to your DAQ board. Since the 1121 only performs conditioning on the analog inputs, that is all you can access. The other pins cannot be used (no access). With the 1180 feedthrough panel, you can put a connector block on and access all of your other pins (including the counter pins). Again, I would advise against this since your 12 volt signal will overload your counter pins.
    My suggestion would be to perform an analog input task. Set up your 1121 in MAX and use a LabVIEW shipping example. In the shipping example select an analog input channel from your SCXI-1121 module. Set the appropriate voltage range and take some measurements. Once your signal is connected and you can read it using an analog input example you are half way there.
    Take the analog input shipping example and modify it to perform frequency analysis on the voltage readings. You can simply wire the data from the DAQmxRead VI into one of the frequency analysis VI's (noted in my first post). The output if that VI will give you the frequency of your signal.

  • How do I get rid of an Adobe program that keeps wanting to open on my machine.

    I keep receiving a request to download an adobe site Adobe Flash runtune which i have allowed and fter it does nothing but repeat I then rejected it.

    Are you sure that it comes from Adobe?
    Can you post a screenshot of what you get: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
    Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.

  • How do I get rid of an adobe textbox that shows up every time I open Firefox?

    Adobe  installed an update, I believe to my flashplayer and when it was  finished, every time I opened my google page(Mozilla) I got a big box that said  Adobe installer. There was no way to remove it so I went to add/delete  programs and found the installer program and deleted it. Now instead of  the Adobe installer box, I get a text box that says that the following  path cannot be found.  C\Documents+and+Settings\user\Application+Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profil  es\3oq0kps1default\extensions\{E2883E8F-472F-4fb0-9522-AC9BF3716A7}\ch  rome\content\getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe
    This happens every  time I open Mozilla. I get rid of the box by either hitting "OK" or the X  at the upper right hand corner of the text box. Then the box goes away  and Google opens.
    I want to get ride of this box.  How do I do it.
    Thank you.

    For future Flash Player updates, to get around that download manager, download the installer directly from http://http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

  • How can I get rid of the slide on add window that's making me crazy?

    I updated to the latest version of Firefox for desktops today and all of a sudden I'm getting this slide in ad window that slides in from the left and I can't get rid of it! If this keeps up I'll have to stop using Firefox because I really hate this! PLEASE tell me how to get rid of it!

    hey maxthepug, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit.  I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar).  I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad).  No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..."  The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing."  How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

    FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
    As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.
