Installing Adobe Reader under Windows 8.1 for its language really to be set "same as the operating system"

How can I install Adobe Reader 11.0.10 in both German and English in order to choose the language as per the Windows 8.1 language? I already have Reader 11.0.10 installed with the language set to "same as the operating system", but only English is chosen. How can I add French or another language to Adobe Reader later (if I in the future decide to add to Windows 8.1 support for more than German and English)? Can I avoid deinstalling my current Reader software? Can I keep Reader at 11.0.10 or must I install a lower level in order to obtain support for both German and English?

Yes, you need to uninstall the single-language Reader version before installing the MUI version.
Also, the MUI installer is 11.0.0, so you will need to update it to the current version.
If you download the updates manually (from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows), make sure you download the updates for MUI.

Adobe Reader & Acrobat 6~9 Group Policy ADM file (only applied once?)

Hi folks. I created the below ADM template last month based on some of the ones I have seen elsewhere. I import the ADM file to use with Group Policy and make the necessary settings (need to uncheck "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed" to see it in GPO Editor).
Anyway, when the user logs on it stamps them with the desired registry setting (bEnableJS value 0). Yay! But I notice that if a user re-enables JavaScript in Adobe Reader/Acrobat and then logs off and back on again (reboot or logoff/on) the registry setting does not get re-applied. All other pre-existing Group Policies get applied and doing a gpresult or rsop.msc has everything looking as though it did get applied.
I notice that if I manually do a "gpupdate /force" to a logged on system the setting appears to be reapplied (need to reconfirm this though). Has anyone expierienced similar with their ADM templates for this? Perhaps I am missing something? Appreciate any help/advice.

Hey, what you have described is normal behaviour for the way you have written your Custom ADM file.
Because you are not using Proper Windows Policies, i.e. Setting them in the policy location in the registry, then once you apply a setting, it will not get over written again ever unless you made a group policy change or do a gpupdate.
Normal group policies will get re-applied depending on the time frame set in the policy its self.

Adobe Reader/Acrobat Is not Installed

I get an error on machines on our work network that says Adobe Reader/Acrobat is not installed. However most cases it is installed on the machine and in most cases it turns out to be the 8.1.1 version of Adobe reader. So what we have noticed is that the permissions do not seem to be right with the .pdf file extention. We manually add the users, power users group to the file extention and then we grant them full control over the extention and in most cases that as well will not work. The next step would be to uninstall 8.1.1 Adobe reader and then reboot. Upon the restart we will log on and install the 8.1.2 update. Sometimes this works but then again I have noticed that the users, power users group is not in the .pdf file extention. Then we will add them in and yet the user will still have the same error message. We have fun out of ideas and the other bad scenario is that this is free software and its very difficult to get support for. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

Ver 8 installed fine but can't get it to launch from any application. Have tried going back to earlier versions (6.1,6.2,7) but the same problem occurs.
Same error message each time:
"Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.456 ModName: acrord32.dll
ModVer: 8.0.0.456 Offset: 00020916
Tried every troubleshooting tip in the Support Knowledgebase to no avail.
Have been using Reader for years with never any problems and now I can't seem to get this fixed after numerous hours.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a free support line I can call or is it paid support only?
Thanks,
Dee

Like others my problem was Adobe Reader 8.1.2 died terribly and with a buggy stench with the following error:
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: msvcr70.dll
ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6
RESOLUTION ON XP SP2
1. Control Panel, Users
2. Create a new user account NewUser (for example)
3. Start, Log Off
4. Switch Users to the NewUser
5. Wait the mini eternity for new user to be set up.
6. Start Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 and you will see a red splash screen along with some license updating things.
7. Adobe 8.1.2 now starts fine under NewUser
8. Switch back to your regular user name. Start, Log off, Switch Users
Now a note to Adobe. Do you folks really have to make this such a frickin pain to get working? Do you at Acrobat have any idea of how much time we users blow and how much of our lives pass by while we try to re-download and work with this product? You are directly responsible for a small slow down in the world economy by this. Get the hint.... create an 8.1.3 that omits the secret code steps above.
The only thing that kept my sanity during this were nice songs on channel 86 on SIRIUS. Thank you SIRIUS.
Thanks,
Jim

PDF form filled in Preview does not display correctly in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

I recently received a PDF form from my bank, and filled in the fields and affixed my signature. Saved the form. The recipeint of the form opened the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the fields don't display the filled in form, unless you click in the field. After you click out of the field, the entry disappears. When you print the form from Reader or Acrobat, the fields are blank, but the signature prints.
Before saving the form from Preview, the fields appear normally in Reader/Acrobat.
Running Lion 10.7 and Preview 5.5.
Anyone else have this happen?

I've since found out that there is somewhat of a "fix" that addresses a way to see the form entries in Acrobat, but doesn't resolve the problem the Preview creates. There is a script available on the Adobe forum that can be installed into Adobe Acrobat: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html. The link and also explains the problem which should really be addressed by Apple. After installation, it will appear in the Edit menu of Acrobat. Once you open a Preview form, selecting "Fix Field Appearances" will repair the form so that the entries are visible.
Preview will still create bad forms, but this script will allow them to be visible in Acrobat. Unfortunately if you're sending a form to someone, there's no way to know if the recipient is using Preview or Acrobat and whether they even know about the problem. So you would have to create the form in Preview, open it in Acrobat, fix the field appearances and re-save. So it's not really a fix, just a work-around. Still don't use Preview for this reason.
I don't know if the script works with Adobe Reader, there's no mention that it does or doesn't in the forum entry.

JS: How to close Adobe reader/Acrobat?

How to close a PDF file in Adobe reader/Acrobat using JS in Design?
Thanks in advance.

Here is an example:
#target indesign
var acroScript = 'var d = app.activeDocs;\r';
acroScript += 'for ( var i in d ) d[i].closeDoc( true );';
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "acrobat";
bt.body = acroScript;
bt.send();
It closes all open documents in Acrobat without saving. However it works only on PC and only in certain versions of InDesign and Acrobat. (I tested it at work, in InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 8 Pro, on Windows XP)
But at home computer I have Acrobat X version 10.1.1 and bridgetalk doesn't "see" it.
Note that closeDoc method has an optional parameter -- bNoSave -- whether to close the document without saving. If false (the default), the user is prompted to save the document if it has been modified. If true, the document is closed without prompting the user and without saving, even if the document has been modified.
Hope this helps.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

Adobe Reader/Acrobat Printing Issues - Weird Fonts / Characters - all versions

Hi everybody.
I'm experiencing a very nasty issue with both adobe reader (last version) and acrobat.
When I print something with text, i get only strange characters, mostly symbols.
I cannot get out of this, I tried everything.
Already tried
1) print as image does not works, it's the same
2) the box in pdf printer " print only with fonts on pc" is checked
3) reinstalled both adobe applications
3) reinstalled printer drivers
4) i've installed and reinstalled those so called missing fonts but nothing
Next step is to change PDF reader. Any help?

unfortunately it didn't work.
It's weird how an application (company) like this could not provide those kind of such easy fixes. I'm not expecting updates or so, but at least a troubleshooting paragraph about this specific problem.
This problem is well known, there are plenty of pages talking about it.
I just installed Foxit reader and printed pages were perfect. This demonstrate's Adobe Reader/Acrobat fault.

Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents?

Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents? It is on Wordpress. [link removed by moderator]

Technically, you CAN embed a pdf so that it opens within the page. Use <embed src="http://yoursite.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375">
But you'll want to test it with all browsers (assuming this is something you are trying to accomplish).

Is adobe reader, acrobat requires system reboot for installation and upgradation
