I use Adobe Reader v10.1.2 under Win-XP 64-bit; why does Reader not start?

The experience I'm having with Reader is that it installed correctly but when I try to start it all I get is an error message saying that Reader cannot run in Protected Mode
and gives me three radio buttons to choose from but no matter which one I select, Reader corrupts Win-XP 64-bit in memory and then I can't run anything. I have to reboot
the system in order to run my other programs. Please offer a solution to this problem. I tried uninstalling Reader and then reinstalling it but I keep getting the same thing.

Hello,
I was able to delete all the folders and files except for two files,
Indentity-H and Identity-V. I didn't delete the Setup Files directory.
Did a repair and
then tried to run Reader. Instead of starting up, I still got the
Protected Mode error giving me the three radio button choices. It also
said Reader
couldn't start in Protected Mode due to a system configuration error.
Hope this helps. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Most sincere and best regards,

Printing using Adobe Reader not working

I am using .NET to open .pdf file with "Print" option. This should print that .pdf file on default printer of the system. But in reality, when I run my program, it opens blank Adobe Reader window and just hangs there, no page gets printed. My C# code looks like following:
Process process1 = new Process();
process1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
process1.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
process1.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
process1.StartInfo.FileName = completeFileName;
process1.Start();
Above code could also be written in vbScript.
Can anyone let me know why Acrobat Reader does not print any page?
Thank you in advance.

The paper trays are both 8" x 11". The top tray has checks, the bottom tray has plain paper. When I go to print, the print dialog defaults to the last saved setting which is supposed to use the lower tray, however when checking the setting it says upper tray. I have to switch to either another setting or to the Standard setting, then back to my saved setting in order for the paper tray to be set correctly on the lower tray. I would expect that whatever setting the saved setting has, it would change to the necessary settings and use it instead of using a default settings. I don't know if this is a bug in the OS X or the HP driver.
For example. I go to print in Safari, the printer says OfficeJet 7140xi, the Preset setting says OfficeJet (Lower Tray). When I check Paper Type/Quality, the paper tray is set to Upper Tray. I switch the Preset to Standard and back to OfficeJet (Lower Tray) and check the Paper Type/Quality and now the paper tray is set to Lower Tray. So, initially, when the print dialog comes up, it ignores the Preset settings and defaults to some other settings and manually you have to switch the Preset to another setting and back again in order to get the correct settings.

Latest version of Firefox incompatible with programs used for online academic studies 1) Blackboard and 2) Turnitn. Why does Firefox not know about this given number of students studying online? What can be done about it?

To solve problem I had to downgrade the version of Firefox from latest to an earlier version.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Why does firefox not start? I have to go to the task manager and stop the process before I can use it

Sometimes firefox won't start unless I go into the taskmanager and remove it. then it will start. But if I go out of F/F and want to re-start it. usually it re-starts but if I want to open E-mail in Msn, It won't happen.

Is there a way to programmatically configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader within the Firefox Browser?

We have customers who are having difficulty saving their PDF files upon opening them from our web page because most of the time, they have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" set under Tools->Options->Applications. This causes the PDF file to be loaded into a standalone version of Adobe Reader where the Save icon is disabled.
We can suggest to our users that they change this to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", which will give them the desired behavior of loading the PDF in a Firefox window with the Acrobat plug-in's Save icon enabled.
However, we'd like to pro-actively change this configuration for our users via javascript if at all possible, so they don't have to go through the trouble of contacting us with the issue.
Is this possible?

I think that the built-in PDF Viewer only gets triggered with a specific MIME type (application/pdf) send by the server.

Thanks

This forum is only for discussions on the forums themselves. You may want trying to post your question in the Reader forum.

How can I change from using Adobe in fire fox to using only adobe app. I have checked in tools to use adobe reader but adobe in fire fox keeps coming up.

I know I was able to do this before. Under tools - options - applications - PDF files are listed to use Adobe reader but everytime I open a PDF it comes up using adobe in Firefox. I do not that. Want to be able to open the PDF right there.

My instruction should be:
Tools / Add-ons / Plug-in
and you should see Foxit Reader Plugin there. Click on the line and you'll see a "disable" option there.

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I can't see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader

Dear colleagues,
Your help will be appreciated for the following problem:
I have a tool which converts IBM I (AS400) spool file to PDF.
The file has been copied to Windows environment.
On generated PDF I can’t see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader v10.1.4.
If I use Notepad to display the file, I can see the Greek characters.
It seems that following PDF keywords are not recognized form PDF reader.
/BaseFont /Courier
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
I have tried to use various fonts and encoding (cp1253, ISO8859-7) with no luck.
On PDF reader folder there is the following file:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\CP1253.TXT
I believe somehow to tell PDF reader to use this encoding.
What actions required on our Win/PDF environment setup?
What actions required on PDF file generation? (/BaseFont, /Enconding, etc)

Too many assumptions! It is much, much more complicated than your attempted solutions. The PDF Reference shows the contents of WinAnsiEncoding; this is as for your first example. I feel you probably need to spend very much more time reading this book.
In the second example you are using a different code page (or other encoding method) to view the data. This is not going to help you because WinAnsiEncoding is fixed in all environments and does not use the code page.
To use greek characters you will need the PDF to
- use fonts which contain greek characters (the built in Courier PostScript font probably does not)
- use an Encoding which references the greek characters. There are no built-in encodings that do this
You cannot make simple cosmetic changes to this file to do this. The style of simplified font with no FontDescriptor can be used only for the built-in 14 fonts, which cannot be used with a greek encoding.
Commonly, a combination of the greek letters in the Symbol font and the Latin letters in another font are used by constant font switching. This is of course only a solution for Greek, not other non-Latin alphabets.

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.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

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.

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

>(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
>(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
>(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
>(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

Recently no matter what I do, Firefox will not allow me to use Adobe Reader instead of it's own

I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox's built in. I have tried everything that you suggest and that Adobe suggest. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I have gone to the options in Mozilla but when I try to change the Portable Document settings, I don't get the option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I do get the for Adobe Forms, but not for PDF documents. If I change it to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then opens reader which is not I want. I want to use the plugin which is installed (I go to Add-ons and it is installed and "always activate").
Help? This only started happening in the last month or so. I am running latest released Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (up to date with all updates, etc.).

That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.

I use Adobe Reader v10.1.2 under Win-XP 64-bit; why does Reader not start?
