Jasb - Adobe Reader - Questions

Hi,
I have downloaded Adobe Reader many times but still I can't upload my files. Whenever I want to open a file which is a PDF it doesn't open with Adobe Reader. This is really frustrating. Can you please help me out?

Please give more details. You downloaded Reader but, did you install it? Whith what program do PDF files open when you try? Are you in Mac or Win? What is your OS version?

Adobe Reader Question about protected password

I have adobe reader on my computer and I need to email an pdf file and password protect it, is that possible with the reader version?

Kimberly,
Moving this question to the Adobe Acrobat forum, since it's not related to CreatePDF.
No, you cannot password protect a PDF with Reader. This requires Adobe Acrobat. See the "Protect" section here. A trial is here.

Windows 8 & Adobe Reader question

I am new to Windows 8 and would like to view my .pdf's (like I could in Windows XP) on a window I can shrink so I can open
additional software and shrink so both pages are open next to each other on the window.
I am very frustrated at this point with Windows Reader and Adobe Reader because I can't figure out how to do this. It was a major function for my .pdf reader to do this. Help please!

On Windows 8 Pro/RT, there are two different types of apps that you can install and run.
(a) Windows Store apps with "Modern" UI
Examples: Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8, Windows Reader by Microsoft
The application window of a Windows Store app occupies the entire/full screen by default. (This is the UI design decision made by Microsoft.) However, it does not mean that you are stuck with the full screen mode. You can optionally snap a second Windows Store app to the left/right side of the screen to view the two apps simultaneously.
See Get to know Windows - Snap an app: Use two apps at the same time.
However, the limitation is that you cannot have more than two Windows Store apps displayed at the same time on the screen.
(b) Desktop apps with classic UI
Examples: Adobe Reader XI, Microsoft Office 2013
If your PC/laptop/tablet is running Windows 8 Pro (as opposed to Windows RT), you can install the traditional desktop apps that are compatible with Windows 8. From the Windows 8 Start screen, you can tap/click the Desktop tile and switch to the Windows 8 desktop, which looks almost identical to the Windows 7 desktop. In the desktop environment, you can install and launch as many desktop apps as you want and arrange the app windows anyway you want.
However, if you have a tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT (e.g. Microsoft Surface RT), there are no compatible desktop apps available other than pre-installed Microsoft apps like Office (as far as I know as of February, 2013). So Adobe Reader XI will not run on Surface RT.

Custom install of Adobe Reader questions

HI,
I used the Adobe Customization Wizard to create a custom install of Adobe Reader 10.1 for some Citrix servers.
I'd like to use 10.1.1 but can't find a base install for this, only an update.
This means I need to run the custom 10.1 and then run the 10.1.1 update.
Is there any other way?
I didn't see any documentation to bundle the 10.1.1 update into the 10.1 install so it install automatically.
Thanks

Hi john,
Sorry, I didn't spot that. Hope I didn't waste your time.
It looks to me as if the update hasn't been tagged on to the original installation. Here's the download link for all of them: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=10
The only tools I can find are these: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/technical-resources.html#documentation-guides but you probably have them already.
Maybe one of the other contributors might be able to suggest an alternative method of achieving your goal.

Can I insert a pdf file (Adobe Reader 8) into an Outlook 2007 message body

I don't want to attach it to the e-mail but want it to show up as the body of the e-mail. Is there a way to do this?

Adobe Reader 9.3.2 silent install package questions, please ...

Hello:
I am a network and Desktop Support person for a higher education facility. I was asked to take over automating software application
installs.
I have a script process, created by Auto-It (Scite script editor), that has been working well for Adobe Reader 9.1 with updates to 9.1.1, 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 (found on the Internet) -
msiexec /i \\<server>\<path>\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=\\<server>\<path>\AcroRead_10132009.mst /passive /norestart /update \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd911_all_incr.msp;\\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp; \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp
My questions:
Is there a similar process for installing Adobe Reader 9.3 silently and then updating to 9.3.2?
If so, what are the steps, ex. expand/extract the initial 9.3 .EXE, then create a transform using Orca/<transform making of choice>, etc.?
With having read of some issues in this forum regarding Adobe Reader 9.3.2, should I continue using 9.1.3 and wait?
Thank you for your time.

Well we have a wiki where I work, and here is then entry I have created on how to deploy Adobe Reader. See if any of this helps, if not, we'll take it from there.
Deployment
It is HIGHLY recommended that you read and follow the directions of the deployment guide provided by Adobe located at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf. The documentation located here is simply for a quick reference for those who have already read the guide.
The rights to distribute Adobe Reader must be obtained by filling out the form found at http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html. After filling out the form and being accepted to distribute Adobe Reader, you will receive an email with a link to download the redistributable version of Adobe Reader. You will be prompted to download a .exe package containing the Reader MSI file. The general form of the command to convert a Nosso-compressed file to an MSI package is:
<path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe [<switches>...]
Switch
Description
-nos_ne
Do not execute any file after installation (overrides the -e switch) This switch should be used if user only wants to extract the installer contents and not run the installer.
-nos_o
Specifies the name of folder where the contents of the expanded package are to be placed. The folder name should be enclosed in quotation marks. It is best if you do not use an existing folder, and there should be no space following the “-nos_o”.
For example:<path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe -nos_o”TestFolder” -nos_ne
Using the extracted MSI, create an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using the command-line:
msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroPro.mst
The AcroPro.mst transform file is created by the Adobe Customization Wizard 9
You can apply any patches that may have been released since the major version release. Use the command-line:
msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi /p <path to>\AdbeRdrUpd931.msp;<path to>\AdbeRdrUpd932.msp
Once all this is complete, you can fully deploy the software by running the command-line:
<path to>\AcroRead.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroRead.mst /qb
More information can also be found in the Enterprise Administration Guide

Question from worse than Newbie about digital signatures and Adobe Reader.

1st, thanks for taking the time to even look. 2nd, We are trying to use digital signature pads with PDF documents created by Documaker 11.4. In Adobe Pro there is a setting "Extend features in Adobe Reader" that will allow users with Adobe Reader to sign the PDF documents, however our "guy" creating the forms cannot find anything like this in Documaker. I've never used Documaker before and dont have a copy to even play with, but I was hoping there was a simple "go here, click this" answer.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for you time,
Jeff Holt

I'm not expert on Documaker, but I'm close to them and will try to find an answer if I can be sure of the question.
Documaker is capable of creating PDF signature markers in the output PDF. Those markers are compatible with tools like Acrobat which can sign the documents. Is your question about how to create the markers or are you doing that and finding that Acrobat Reader will not allow you to sign them?
I'd have to research Adobe's licensing for Acrobat and Reader to see if that was the issue. I know certain features in Acrobat Reader are locked down by Adobe so you have to have another product license from them to enable the feature. If that is the problem, then I'm pretty sure that Documaker has no mechanism to provide a license token to specifically enable the Acrobat Reader product.
If you can provide more specifics, I'll try to follow up. You may also contact Customer Support, if you haven't already and open a case there requesting a specific question be answered.
Best Regards.

Security question in adobe reader

I downloaded a PDF to adobe reader then saved it, now when I try and view it, it is telling me that the file is secured and "acrobat (which I do not have) does not allow connection to: (a specific website)". I think I inadvertantly said no to a question that popped up on my screen about allowing this particular website to do something (?) when I fist opened the file. I think that the website might be mentioned in my PDF. I think I may need to take the security off of this website, so that I can view the PDF. How can I fix this? The help section directed me to enhanced security and then sandbox-then I was lost??? I also deleted the PDF and re-downloaded it and the same thing is there. Help me, please. Thank you.

To reset the warning go to Edit - Preferences - General and click on "Reset All Warnings".
However, you can't remove a security policy using Reader, but I don't think that's required here.
Just click the button described above and then re-open the file and allow it to connect to the server. It's probably a part of a DRM protection policy that requires to communicate with an online server before allowing you to open the file.

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Image enduser workstation: question about ACF and Adobe Reader component

Our IT department is investigating what components should be included in the image for enduser workstations to ensure they will be able to work with interactive forms without any problem. I know ACF and Adobe Reader are the only requirements for endusers but I have some questions about this:
1. As of what version of Netweaver 2004s is it no longer a requirement to have the ACF component installed on the frontend to enable online interactive scenario's for endusers?
2. Can I recommend to allways install the very latest Adobe Reader version available in the market or is the Adobe Reader version depending on the SAP NetWeaver version we use?
kind regards

Hi Angelique,
The non ACF version is called Zero Client Installation (ZCI)
ERP2005 SP 5 - Zero Client Installation (ZCI)
NW04S Stack 08
Reader 8.0 for ZCI, Reader 7.08 for ACF based forms. Don't use Reader 8 for ACF yet, since there is no installer working yet...
Cheers,
Noë

Well the app must have worked at one point if you have important data in it. Maybe you should seek help on the Adode Reader for iOS web site.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/ios
Have you rebooted the iPad and then tried the app again? Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Adobe reader deployment question

I've read the document on deploying adobe reader via gpo and have one particular question. Why do we have to do an administrative installation of adobe on the network? Isn't the msi file plus the other extracted files from the exe enough to deploy adobe? I don't see the reason behind an administrative installation. I've already customized it with the wizard; the mst file is in the same folder.

Thanks for the reply, it really helped get me to the right place and I was successful in opening the Adobe Reader Installer. The key words for me were "your computer's Administrator password". I had been trying to use my Adobe password. Thanks a lot!!

Questions regarding Adobe Reader Extensions for Adobe Livecycle.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Adobe products, having just started to use Adobe Livecycle over the last couple of weeks. I've produced a set of interactive forms for field engineers to use. When completed, they will submit the xml data via email. However, there will be numerous occasions where they will need to stop in the middle of data collection and come back at a later point to finish, hence the need to locally save the information before submission.
I understand this is where Adobe reader extensions would come in, unlocking this functionality.
At the moment, i'm a bit of a loss on several points regarding how reader extensions work and i was wondering if anybody could fill in the gaps:
1. Are they seperate modules that bolt in into the main Livecycle application?
2. As these forms will be used off line, i would like to set the permissions to the pdf locally. From what i read, Reader Extensions is a server product. Is this correct, or can i use Reader Extensions to set these permissions before publishing the adobe form?
3. Where can i get hold of Reader Extensions and how much do they cost? I have been reading information on similar topics on this forum (dating 3-4 years ago) that say reader extensions are comparitavely expensive to a Adobe Pro/Livecycle licence. ($50,000 upwards) Is this correct? If so, is there a cheaper alternative to achieve the same outcome?
I hope someone can shed some light on these points!
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Reader Extensions can be bought as a module in LiveCycle. There is a subset of RE functionality that exists in Acrobat. The ability to save locally is part of Acrobat. In both cases you woudl RE the form before distributing it, hence when the user gets your form they are ready to go. You can download a trial version of the server product. As far as pricing goes you woudl be better to talk to an Adobe salesrep as there are discounts for certain situations as well as different pricing options. If you decide tp gp the Acrobat route you ar limited, by licence, to distribute your form to a max of 500 users.
Hope that helps
Paul

This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem. Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left. It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data. But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Backup your PDF documents.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
