Is there a solution for my "files in use" installation problem with Adobe Reader XI?

I have tried repeatedly to download Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07), but I keep getting a "files in use" message that indicates my current version, Adobe Reader 8.1, is using files that need to be updated by the download's set up. The message directs me to close my Adobe Reader 8.1 and then continue, but when I receive it my Adobe Reader 8.1 is always closed. I am tempted to uninstall my Reader 8.1 and then try downloading Reader XI, but I am afraid I could be inviting even more trouble. I should mention the reason I am trying to download Reader XI is a notification I received in my computer's status box that indicates my Reader 8.1 is not working properly and suggests I download the latest version. I discovered the notification after I was unable to open a GIF file attachment. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to uninstall my Adobe Reader 8.1 in safe mode, as suggested above, but received a message which indicated that Windows installer could not be accessed. That was a strange message, because I have not had problems uninstalling programs in the past, and, after receiving the message, I tried uninstalling a different program in safe mode and had no problem doing so. I am now going to try your suggestion.
Honestly, these types of technical issues always leave me so frustrated. I do not have a high technology acumen, and because my laptop is six years old, I cannot get professional help without paying a hefty fee. Thank goodness for this forum. If the solutions suggested here do not work, I guess I will keep my laptop until my Adobe 8.1 gives out completely.
Thanks again for your assistance. I will let you know if it works.

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Embedded pdf file will not d/l with Adobe reader 9

I tried to D/L the manual for an iTouch. The file is supposed to open in the Safari web browser. It would not down load and open because Adobe reader 9 was not acceptable. Seems like it wanted to see Adobe reader 10 on my computer. I don't want to do that. Firefox D/L'd the file without all this hassle. Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?

Hi
Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?
Likely due there being a non-Apple plugin trying to handle it & failing.
Look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ for any plugins with 'pdf' in the name.
Remove any you find - either trash or take to the desktop, restart any browsers, then try a pdf.

Problem with adobe reader for android.

I have set up 25 android tablets for my employees to use adobe reader. They are downloading a blank .pdf forms created with acrobat from a cloud drive (google drive) and then filling out the forms on the tablet. On 24 of the tablets, when the original form is opened from the cloud, adobe reader gives a warning that the file is "read-only" and gives the option to save a copy locally in order to be able to edit the form, or to continue and view the form as read-only. On one tablet, adobe reader skips this warning and ALWAYS opens the form as read-only. I have un-installed and re-installed adobe reader and the cloud drive multiple times. I have done factory resets and completely re-configuresd the tablet multiple times. I have even tried multiple cloud accounts to ensure that it isnt a cloud setting. The problem is isolated to this tablet, regardless of all of these "fixes" I cannot find any setting to eneble/disable this option. Any ideas as to why everything works on every other tablet, but not this one?

The first thing I would try is a different cloud server, e.g. Workspaces at https://acrobat.com/ - just to make sure it's not Google Drive causing the problem.

Problems with Adobe Reader in Windows 8. Is there a conflict with Windows 8 Modern Reader.

When I have Adobe Reader 11 installed on my Windows 8 laptop, PDF documents partially download then stop. Removing Adobe Reader ends the problem and allows viewing via Modern Reader. However, I need Adobe Reader to read documents on some websites. Unfortunately when the program has been on the computer for some time the documents stop displaying. Removing and reinstalling the Adobe Reader allows me to view these documents again, for a time, and then the documents stop displaying. Any ideas?

What browser are you using?
Does the same thing happen if you download the PDF docs to your local disk, then open them from there?

File transfer problem with adobe reader in iTunes

I use adobe Reader on my iPad Air for work and at the end of each day transfer the files to my Mac at home through iTunes. Lately i am getting an error message "file could not be copied because an error occurred. A duplicate file name was specified." I have updated everything i can think of..any suggestions?

Hi,
Your question is not about FormsCentral. I suggest you to check whether Adobe Reader is enabled on your web browser's add-in list. For example, on Chrome you may type in "chrome://plugins/" to open the Plug-ins list, and check the status of Adobe Reader. If it's not the latest version, you may update it as well.
You may go to Adobe Reader's forums and start a discussion if you like: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums

Changing file type API to open with Adobe Reader 9.2

In windows XP, if I go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins, it shows the API extension to be File Type AcroExch.plugin
This seems to be because Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed first on the PC, then Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC.
On a clean PC, if I install Adobe Reader 9.2, then the file type becomes API file.
How do I change the file type from AcroExch.plugin to API file?

I want to do this because I have a 3rd party plugin which will not work otherwise.
The 3rd party plugin is FileOpen Installer.
http://plugin.fileopen.com
If Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC first, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached JPG Adobe Reader 9 Plugin working.jpg
FileOpen Plugin works with the above situation.
Note that it is a 3rd party supplier which sends files which require the 3rd party Plugin FileOpen and a test document is here
http://fileopen.bl.uk:8008/FileOpenFreeLink-1.0/entryPage.do;jsessionid=FADC8178CCD0236480 199338A79483E7
If Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed on the PC first and the Adobe Reader 9.2, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached Adobe Reader 9 Plugin Problem.jpg and the test file sent by the British Library above will not open.
You get the following when you try to open the British Library test file (see British Library2.jpg)
FileOpen is installed as a 3rd Party Plugin in Adobe Reader 9.2 and I can see this under Help About 3rd Party Plugins FileOpen Installer.
(Note Adobe Acrobat 5 runs via a network install and is not installed onto the workstation so I can't remove it via Add/Remove Programs).
So I am guessing the problem is to do with the API file type being different when Adobe Acrobat 5 is installed first?
Thanks,
Paul

Is there a solution for dynamic reports and using Denes' Export to Excel?

Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Application Express 3.2.1.00.10
Hello all!
I am using Denes Kubicek's Export_Excel_Pkg in my application and I'm having trouble exporting reports based on report regions created using a PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. I realize this is not an Oracle supported package, but was hoping someone here could shed some light on it. When I open up the Excel file, I get an error such as: Report Values Error: ORA-06550: line 22, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
I've searched the forum and already have done as others suggested by modifying the REPLACE on the v_sql variable in Export_Excel_Pkg.Get_Usable_SQL, but it did not work. My assumption is that there is an issue with the value being passed to the wwv_flow_utilities.get_binds function. I could not find documentation on this function, but I'm thinking that it cannot extract the bind variables within a PL/SQL block. The report only works when I have just use SQL with bind variables...doesn't work for PL/SQL. Nor does it work for dynamic SQL reports that use a "lexical" parameter (e.g. using WHERE &p_and_condition.) to build the WHERE clause.
Has anyone come up with a work-around to this? I somehow need to be able to extract reports based on dynamic SQL (or PL/SQL) to Excel.
Help is appreciated!
This is my example of a report based on PL/SQL function:
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
v_sql := q'[SELECT UPPER(t1.olo_name) agency_title,
       t1.class_code,

       t1.pay_grade_code,

                  'UB',((t1.wage_type1_amt_for_pay * 26)/t1.appt_fte),
                  'UM',((t1.wage_type1_amt_for_pay * 12)/t1.appt_fte),

v_sql := v_sql || q'[GROUP BY UPPER(t1.olo_name), t1.class_code, UPPER(t1.class_title), t1.pay_plan, t1.pay_grade_code ORDER BY t1.class_code ASC, avg_annual_rate]';
RETURN v_sql;
END;This is my example using a SQL statement with a lexical parameter:

Is there a solution for allowing them to use Apple TV without logging them in with my own Apple ID?

I often have clients in during edit sessions and when there is downtime they enjoy using Apple TV to watch content on my laptop. We were wondering if there's a way to have them connect their laptops to Apple TV without having to use my account to login.

yeah appletv can access all shared libs on the network

I transfered a picture folder to my tc and now it occupies space on the tc but I can't open it. I there a solution for this?

I transfered a picture folder to my Time Capsule (3Gbit) from a external USB, drive thru my Macbook Pro, and now it occupies space on the Time Capsule but I can't open it. Is there a solution for this?

This is super fun with Yosemite.. that cannot open files on network drives..
Have you got the drive mounted in Finder?
Try and change the permissions of the folder in TC.. but I am not sure you are going to find this easy.
I think the best way to fix this is to copy the whole lot back to the external USB via the terminal using a full root login.
So open terminal.. type sudo su
Type in your main administrator password.
Then you can use any of the command line copy tools.. I have just done this with rsync..
The command is rsync -av /source/* /destination/
You should mount both the source and destination in finder.. and you can then drag the folder into the command line.. it will then copy the exact source and destination you want.
