In current version of OS X, why does Adobe Acrobat Reader open with a small blank dialog box?

When I open Acrobat Reader, this small blank, white dialog box always opens on my Mac:
Does anyone know what is going on here?

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    After I downloaded Acrobat, Adobe Reader tries to control viewing of my photos.  When I plug my digital camera into the PC, all the files are labeled “PDF”; the files still have the .jpg extension, though.  For photos on my PC, when I try to open them, Adobe reader insists on opening them, but it can’t, and I get the message:
                “Adobe Reader could not open photo.jpg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged”
    I attached several photos to an e-mail that I sent after downloading Acrobat, and I could not open the photos before sending the e-mail (in order to verify that they were the correct photos before I sent the e-mail).  Adobe Reader was my only option when I clicked “open” to view a photo, and it would not open the photo.
    I assume that I did something during the Acrobat download process that has caused this situation.  My plan is to uninstall Acrobat and then re-install it and this will hopefully remove this situation.
    Any suggestions you have about this situation would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.07 take 2 minutes to load a Brother Scanner Interface dialog?

    Just updated OS X to 10.10 (Yosemite), on a MacBook Pro Retina (i7 processor, 8 GB) today.
    Now, after having trouble, so uninstalled & reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07), I'm further delayed each time I try to scan.
    In the past, I've used the menus in Acrobat to scan:  File / Create / PDF from Scanner.
    This immediately shows the first of two dialog boxes:  ADOBE SCAN, where I select Brother TWAIN as the input, scan to a new PDF document, no OCR, not PDF/A, not Optimized) and click Scan.
    This brings up the second dialog box (BROTHER TWAIN), which sets resolution, color or black / white, and page size.  This second dialog box used to appear right away - now there is always a 2 minute delay, before the 2nd dialog box appears, during which time the system is responsive but Acrobat appears non-responsive.
    So, why the 2 minute delay?

    I'd like to add that I'm having the exact same issue, which started after the Acrobat 11.0.09 upgrade in Yosemite.  The previous version of Acrobat worked just fine in Yosemite.
    I have a Brother ADS-1500W, and the same symptoms as the OP, which are:
    I click File > Create PDF from Scanner
    I get the Adobe scanner window, where I input my settings.
    I click "Scan", then have a 1-2 minute wait before my actually scanner input window comes up.
    I'm a creative cloud subscriber, how can I downgrade to 11.0.0?
    EDIT: (Temporarily?) Fixed
    I saw another brother user report that updating their scanner drivers directly from Brother fixed the issue.  I downloaded the latest printer drivers directly from Brother here, (version 3.10.0, released on 10/23/2014) and the transition from the Adobe to the Brother/OSX scan dialogue is once again instant. Other users have reported that the fix goes away on restart, so I'll see if I can avoid restarting until Adobe/Brother comes up with a more permanent fix. 

  • Does Adobe Acrobat / Reader  upgrade from v8.x  to v9.x  affect ABAP ?

    Hi  ,
    There is an ADOBE ACROABAT/ READER upgrade planned from V8.x to V9.x  in our organization . 
    1)  Does this affect any of the application/ process where ABAP is involved .. like forms, Fonts printing  ?
    2)  Is there any thing that ABAP team shoud be prepared for ADOBE upgrade ?
    Thanks in advance ,
    Dharma.

    Hi,
    If you are only using adobe forms to display data , there is no worry from abap side, but if you have interactive adobe forms deployed then you may have to check the web service configuration and also above version 8.X there is a security warning message which comes on interactive forms.
    Regards

  • Why Does adobe Acrobat keep crashing?

    Acrobat keeps crashing when trying to print documents and the only fix that I have found so far is to uninstall and reinstall the program.  Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

    X Pro is the version that I am using.  We have 64 bit windows as well.  I updated the installation after each time I have to reinstall it but it still from time to time crashes.  Then it will not allow me to reopen any PDF documents. 

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat X Pro crash?

    I use MACOSX and installed Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5. Other programs on that package (e.g. Photoshop works well). But, I have not been able to use Acrobat. It opens for a few seconds and abruptly closes. Info on the internet suggested an updated but it doesn't even open, I don't know how it can update.

    You could try to download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
    If that does not fix your issue, you should ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat 11 freeze computer?

    Downloaded docs. that I try to ad text to freeze up my computer. When I click ad text and try to enter a change the cursor disappears and the computer freezes. I have to hold the power switch and do a re boot. This only happens with downloaded docs. I have an HP Pavillion G6 with Windows 7.

    Hi, I can't do anything with those docs.  As soon as I try anything the computer freezes. Example: I click on file, print it freezes or I try to ad text it freezes. These docs are downloads from various sites like the NJ department of labor or consumer affairs. This includes docs. that are not new but I've had for some time. I'd try to attach one but there's personal info and I can't delete it.
    In the meantime I'll try an update. I think I have 11.0.09. The strange thing is that everything worked fine one day last week and it went back to freezes. Thanks, John

  • Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

    I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session.  How do I stop it?

    I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application.  In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
    So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

  • Does Adobe Acrobat support opening files in tabs ?

    Hi,
    I am wondering if we can open multiples PDF files in multiple tabs rather in separated windows (like webpages opened in tabs in Firefox or chrome..)?
    I didn't find such a feature in Adobe ! I found it in the free PDF viewer (X-change)! It is a great feature in my view !
    Will acrobat include it in the next versions, or it is already available but I can't find it?
    Thanks

    I agree with the initial post but not with the posts asking for the multiple windows! I am surprised how can people still ask for multiple windows!
    I agree with the initial post; that is making multiple or single windows as a customizable option. Who prefer separated windowS will enjoy it, and who prefer one window for multiple files can enjoy it too.
    Personally, I prefer one window for multiple files rather than dozen individual windows.
    I abandoned the payed acrobat for the free X-Change PDF viewer ONLY for this great feature of multiple documents in a single window.
    Note: In X-change viewer (and Foxit) we can chose between single or multiple documents!
    Why acrobat does not do it customizable too to be able to chose between one or the other option?

  • Why does Adobe constantly wants to Update itself?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat Reader constantly wants to Update itself by presenting an irritating dialog box that asks the user to update?
    It's just a document reader - how many times do you want to update it? Why aren't all bugs/features added before it is released?
    If you really want to update everyday, why can't you do it on the sly?

    The latest version is 9.3.1 and it's been out for a little while now.
    Your update didn't go right, or it would recognize the latest version and the updater would shut down before asking you to update.
    Try uninstalling Reader and downloading the latest build. I doubt it will be asking you to update all the time after thet.

  • Why does Adobe waste my time?

    Why does Adobe waste my time with Emails asking me to download creative live connection preview, when the status page shows it can't be done?

    Hi Dave,
    I received it a few hours before trying to update, and posted my dissatisfaction the same day.
    Letting me look for something that doesn't exist, made me feel my time is not something Adobe cares about.
    All the best,

  • Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

    Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier?  Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

    Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
    Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
    Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
    The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
