I am running windows 7, adobe acrobat 9.5.5.

I never had a problem until today. I am unable to open any PDF's in it, they go directly to reader. I get a "fatal error" stating acrobat failed to send DDE command. Help!

Don't know what I did but I restarted and now there is no problem..............

  • "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" message

    I installed Acrobat 9 Standard on my Windows XP PC (3.02GHz HT CPU with 1GB RAM and 4.25GB free HD space) and it runs OK if I'm logged on as an Administrator. However, if I log on as a non-privileged user, I get the pop-up message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" for EVERY action I take. That is, if I start an application such as Firefox, I get the message. If I right-click on a file in Explorer to copy it, I get the same message, etc., etc.
    This was a clean installation - all previous Adobe products cleaned off the PC. This is a ridiculous situation. Anybody know what the problem is and how to get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike, try deselecting the Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option
    Choose Edit > Preferences > Internet, deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
    Or disable the Acrobat browser check preference by choosing Edit > Preferences > Internet and deselect Check Browser Settings When Starting Acrobat
    The Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this option isn't selected, PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat window. A corrupt registry setting causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat.
    When you start Acrobat, it checks your default web browser preferences for compatibility with Acrobat and this preference setting may become corrupt. A corrupt preference file causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat. Turning off, then back on, "View PDF in browser" forces Acrobat to remove and re-create the applicable registry setting. When "View PDF in browser" is re-enabled, the corrupt registry key is written correctly.

    “All scripts are executed in response to a particular event. There are several types of events.” (Adobe, 2006, p. 40). You may want to execute your script as a console event. In this case, use the JavaScript Debugger console (Adobe, 2006, p. 21). For more information, read the manual Acrobat has provided online: Developing Acrobat Applications (Adobe, 2006).

  • Windows 7,  Adobe Acrobat and the HP DesignJet 5000 PS

    We have users that connect to a networked DesignJet 5000 PS to print  out design documents. One of our users was recently upgraded to Windows 7  and is now unable to print from Adobe Acrobat.
    When  the user attempts to print, the print dialog box appears. However, when  she selects the printer from the dropdown box, Adobe hangs and then  crashes. No error messages are displayed aside from the standard "This  program has encountered a problem and must close."
    Other  programs can print to the printer. This issue only happens in Adobe,  and only on the computer running Windows 7. I was unable to locate a  Windows 7 driver, likely because the printer appears to be discontinued.
    I have tried in both Adobe Acrobat 8 as well as 10, and both produce the same issue. Since the issue only occurs in Adobe, I cannot find fault with the printer itself. Please provide any assistance you can.
    Thanks

  • Windows closes adobe acrobat xi during launch

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat XI.  It starts running, shows the splash screen, then up comes a windows error saying it is closing Acrobat XI.
    Tried uninstalling, rebooting, cleaning, rebootting, re-installing.  Same thing.
    What else can I try to get a good install?

  • How do I open a new window in Adobe Acrobat using the plugin sdk

    I would like to create a new menu item that when clicked it will open a new window (e.g. winform). What I'd like to do is pull data from a server and interact with the user in that window.  Basically show the user a list of PDF files to pull from the server.  Once the user is done selecting which file to pull to have the file pulled from the server into the local drive and have it opened in Adobe Acrobat.  The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to invoke a winform or something like it to place my lists of files and UI controls. I've looked at the samples in the SDK and don't see anything that deals with this particular issue.  I'm a newbie so I'm sure I'm missing something here.  I tried creating a new WinForm in a sample example and ran into errors and the form is not functioning.  Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you Dan_Korn,
    This suggestion is very helpful.  I like the idea of creating the new functionality in the language/environment of my choice and simply call it from the plugin.  The only issue I have is that when I start the other gui app from within the plugin I don't know how to communicate with it.  I would like to do these things with it:
    1. For the spawned off app to be able to tell Adobe Acrobat to open a file in a certain location.
    2. For the spawned off app to exit if Adobe Acrobat is closed.
    3. Also if the spawned off app closes for the handles to it to be desposed of and cleaned up to avoid leaks.
    Any ideas on the easiest approach to the above behaviors?
    Here's  my code so far in the plugin:
    void StartApp1()
              STARTUPINFO info={sizeof(info)};
              PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
              if (CreateProcess(NULL , "myexe.exe", NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL, NULL, &info, &processInfo))
                        ::WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, 0);
                        CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);
                        CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
              else {
                             AVAlertNote("Couldn't luanch the exe");

  • How can I link an image without leaving the existing window in adobe acrobat??

    Hi everybody
    I'm new using adobe acrobat, but I saw (once) that in a manual, they linked a image.
    Just by passing the mouse over the linked word, the image appears "over" the pdf, without leaving the existing window
    Is this still possible?? and How??
    Thanks for your help

    If you need to do it very often, I've developed a web-service that allows
    you to enter a phrase (let's say "Product 1"), and have an image "pop-up"
    whenever the user hovers or clicks that phrase in your document. Contact me
    personally for more information.

  • Windows 8 - Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

  • "Upgrading" from Adobe Acrobat for Windows to Adobe Acrobat for OS X (Mac)

    I own Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard but no longer use it because I purchased a Mac. Can I "upgrade" to a Mac version of Adobe Acrobe Acrobat?

    No upgrades from Acrobat 7 are available for anyone - they finished long ago, unfortunately. Only Acrobat 9 upwards are eligible.
    You would simply need to purchase Acrobat XI (11) Pro for Mac.
    (Note if anyone happens to have a recent version of Acrobat Standard and wants to upgrade to Acrobat Pro for Mac, this is called a "crossgrade" and only available by directly talking to Adobe customer service).

  • PDF damaged; Windows 7; Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    A very important pdf will not open. It opened previously, but now a window pops up stating, "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  I've already updated adobe pro. It still won't open. I scanned it in from a scanner connected to my company's server into my c drive. It is 19,102 kb. I have Windows 7. I'd rather not purchase anything to repair it. Is there any way to repair this pdf?

    When Acrobat provides the alert you've describe there's nothing Acrobat can do.
    There may be (for a fee) third-party "repair" shops (Bing-Google to locate).
    Or, rescan. Make a working copy duplicate of the initially created PDF.
    Be well...

  • Insert a frame or window into adobe acrobat  or reader window

    Using Windows OS XP or Vista. Can you ad a frame or window into the main window to allow saving a document through another application? I have an application that routes save documents to specific folders depending on the type of document. I would like to be able to allow my clients to open or create a PDF and then have the option to use the application through a frame or window displayed under the "pages" or "bookmarks" area of Adobe reader. Is this possible and can you point me in the right direction.

    Leonard - Could this "new" window contain a custom form as an object. we have used it in Microsoft Outlook with success for customers to insert information pertinent to an email item and then save the item to our application. What I am looking for is to allow our clients to open a pdf or create one and be able to save it as always but with the option to open this "pane" and enter information needed by our routing application. if this is possible can you point me to specific area to start looking as the SDK is very large and informative. I am lookg for a good starting point.
    thanks

  • Running AppleScript with Adobe Acrobat to rotate and crop file.

    I constantly receive PDF files from a third party service provider that I always have to ROTATE and CROP in order to fit perfectly into labels that are perforated.
    The Label sheets are 8-up (2 x 4). If I print it as is, they DON'T fall where they supposed to. I can't get the trird party service provider to alter the way they supply the PDF files (they just not helpful). I thought it is still easier for me to do the neccesary adjustments.
    What I want to do is:
    (1) rotate the document (multi-page PDF) 180 deg
    (2) crop leading edge 3mm.
    (3) if possible, I want it to be able to watch a folder and do this automatically as PDFs are dropped into a defined folder (can be set permananetly) and save OVER the old file.
    I know AppleScript can do this (I think), but I don't have the expertise on AppleScript to write the commands.
    Can anyone help?
    I am using Mountain Lion & Acrobat 8.

    Thanks for the reply. I can still open the file in excel and I understand that I can redirect the file to open in another program. But it doesn't solve my problem that when I email the file to someone else it tries to open the file as a pdf (which it basically isn't) and gives the error message that its an unsupported file type. What I am really looking for is a way to stop it from saving an excel file as an adobe file even when I choose the file format as an excel workbook when I save it.
