Issues with newer version of Acrobat Reader

I'm not looking for advice or a fix for this problem. I'm simply posting it so that hopefully, the folks at Adobe will get a clue & take the issues with their software seriously. The real fix here is for them to quit ignoring bugs in their software and correct the code. Anyway...
In the most recent versions of Acrobat Reader (looks like specifically to X & XI), it seems to be hit or miss as to whether Reader will open PDF attachments in Outlook email. Typically, when I double-click on a PDF attachment, nothing happens. An instance of AcroRd32.exe is created as a process (which hangs), but the PDF file doesn't open. If I make the mistake of double-clicking on the file again, another instance of AcroRd32.exe sucks up more of my system resources. This will occur for each time I double-click on the attachment. Sometimes I get lucky, and it will open the PDF file. Sometimes, if I right-click on the attachment and select open, it will do so. Most times, it just does the same thing as double-clicking.
I've scoured the forums, searched online... Lots of people have reported this or similar problems. Solutions have been offered up, which don't work for most users. etc., etc., etc.
It's just like the issue that Adobe has had for years with Acrobat - The software is notorious for remaining in memory as a process, long after you've closed the PDF file you opened. And likewise, for each PDF file you open, yet another instance of the software loads into & consumes memory.
Adobe has had problems like this for years. They never have taken it seriously, they never choose to fix it.
So, as I said in the beginning of the post - I'm not looking for a fix. I came up with my own fix - I deleted version XI, located an old copy of 9.4 & installed it.
Nope, I'm not looking for solutions or support. I simply wanted to ***** about it.
Doubt Adobe will even notice the post, and if they do, they'll just operate like they always have... Hope that their sloppy code just magically fixes itself.

This is a user forum, and not the place to file bug reports to Adobe. So you are right: your post won't be noticed by the Acrobat developers. Nor would it give them enough information to reproduce the problem.
P.S. I never had a problem opening Outlook attachments with Adobe Reader. If I had, I would start by disabling Protected Mode, which is the most common cause for a multitude of problems in Adobe Reader.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

Problems opening some PDF's with new version of Adobe Reader X

Ever since the latest update for adobe reader has come out I have been unable to open some PDF's. This was never an issue with the older version. When I try to open certain PDF's the reader says "Not Responding" and nothing happens. This does not happen on all PDF's, just some.

Ditto on Darrenz16's problem. New WIN7-64 Home Premiun system with Adobe Reader 10.1.2. Reads several files, then starts locking up when I try opening new files. Seems like Reader is failing to release some resource and eventually running out of whatever it is. Rebooting seems to help temporarily. Never had this problem on previous systems. A set of good examples are the .pdf files at the bottom of this page: http://www.hussman.net/weeklyMarketComment.html
I can open a few, but then Reader locks up trying to download the files.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

I am having issues with new version of Final Cut Pro, is there away to download the last version so I can finish my projects?

I am having major issues with the new version of Final Cut x, I have missing clips and my computer is locking up, I need to finish some projects so is there away to go back to the last version before the new update?

Not unless you have saved a copy of the previous version; also, any libraries that you have updated to use in the newer version will not be usable in the older version anyway.
Rather than going back you should try and figure out what is wrong. The current version works great for most users. Start by clearing your preferences: hold down command and option keys while starting FCP X, and confirm when asked. Many different issues can often be solved by just that.
In case it doesn't solve, please provide more detailed information like OS version, Ram, drive and connection, etc

Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...

I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
Any help with this?
Windows XP

download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.

Issues with new version of Pages and minimizing size of screen

Is there a way to make the pages window smaller? I usually have multiple windows open when making school notes and the new version of pages only lets me decrease the size of the window to a certain limit which is very frustrating!

Checked with Pages 5.2 and that still exists.
You can Open/Close the Format sidebar but unfortunately you need it most of the time and it is attached to every single document.

Policy issues with new Version

I get the following error when an application has an assembly that asks for a Oracle.DataAccess version of 10.2.0.100 but the new server has 1.102.2.20 with the policies on it.
I want to avoid rebuilding assemblies with the latest version since their is a lot of them in over 50+ different applications.
Compiler Error Message: CS1705: Assembly 'SomeAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=10.2.0.100, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=1.102.2.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342'
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that article, but didn't get any help from it. The compiler in my situation doesn't like the way the "10" was dropped off the version. I figure there is nothing I can do about that, but I guess I'm really looking for a way to tell the compiler to ignore the fact it thinks it's going to use a lower version then what the assembly is calling for.

HT201413 Ipod issues with new version

Since the new iTunes version was installed, my iPod does not sync and locks up iTunes in the process. I have tried to restore but that too has problems as iTunes continually messages 'preparing iPod for restore' and the bar continues to scroll

Security issue with new version IOS and camera on front screen?

Is it only my phone or is this a potential security bug?
With the latest version of IOS, if the phone is locked, and the camera is selected from the front screen, by escaping from the camera you bypass the need to input a password.

Although a good idea, requiring passcode doesn't have to be set as "immediately" for this purpose. As long as the passcode is required and is now set (regardless of the interval), it will be required to enter the phone even when using the camera from the lock screen.
The OP made the mistake of trying this out at a time when the phone was not passcode locked at all and could have been unlocked without using the camera.

Xfdf and pdf works in Adobe Reader 6, but not with new versions 7, 8, X

I have a xfdf file which is created by querying a SQL data base and contains data for a pdf form; it works with Adobe Reader 6, but does not work with new versions of Adobe Readers (7, 8, 9 and X).
It is an intranet site running IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2 with Adobe 6 installed and client systems include XPSP2, XPSP3, Vista, Windows 7 with different versions of IE, Firefox.
With new versions of Adobe Reader, click on the hyperlink launched the pdf form in a browser window without data; below is the link:
        // create shipping slip hyperlink
        string strLtrSlipUrl = "~/Archive/LtrShipSlip.pdf#FDF=" + lblWO.Text + "LtrShipSlip" + ".xfdf";
        HyperLink hlLtrShipPdf = new HyperLink();
        hlLtrShipPdf.Text = "Ltr Shipping Slip";
        hlLtrShipPdf.NavigateUrl = strLtrSlipUrl;
        hlLtrShipPdf.Target = "_blank";
        pnlLtrShipSlip.Controls.Add(hlLtrShipPdf);
I have installed new versions of Adobe Reader in the Web server (to match what the clients are using), but results are the same – blank pdf.
I uninstalled the new versions and installed version 6 and the pdf and xfdf worked happily together, but we need new versions of Adobe Reader in the client computers.
Thanks for helps and suggestions – I have read articles about using iTextSharp to create pdf documents from .NET apps, but that would be my last choice.

Adobe Reader 9 can't save the old FDA forms. FDA must update their forms.

I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open it

I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open any document. I have never had trouble before. It gives me an error message: “Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatability with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe reader with protected mode disabled.” I tried a number of things including clicking on the first and last options the prompt gives. Help!

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
