Leopard and Adobe Reader

Does anyone have experience using a Mac to apply to Grants.gov? I'm trying to download an NEA application to my iMac running 10.5.6. I have Adobe Reader 9.0.0 installed but each time I try the download, I get a Grants.gov response that reads "Warning: This form is not supported with the current version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Upgrade to the latest version for full support." I note that Grants.gov's listing for Adobe Reader 9 system requirements for Mac says "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.5" If I am running 10.5.6, is this iMac too sophisticated for Grants.gov and what do you recommend for a solution? My previous iMac, running Tiger, gave me no trouble in downloading from Grants.gov.

Try this. Trash this file: com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Now try to download that .pdf file. If that doesn't work... check your boot disk for errors.
See if the startup disk needs repair:
Repair Startup Disk:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Repair Disk Permissions: Repair Disk Permissions:
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Problem with snow leopard and adobe reader

The United States Postal Service uses Adobe Reader to print labels with their "Click 'n Ship", a great service. I recently installed Snow Leopard on my Mac and I can no longer print labels with USPS Click 'n Ship. Applecare suggested I reinstall Reader (didn't work), or try with Firefox (haven't tried it yet). If this is a glitch, it will effect thousands of people who use USPS services. But maybe I just need a plug in, or need to make some change in the Adobe Reader Preferences. Any help out there in cyberland? ---Ken

Hi,
I have Firefox but mainly use Safari
I was also getting a blank page when I tried to open a PDF.
It seemsI that when I downloaded the update version of Adobe Reader, it switched off the "Read & Write" back to just "Read".
if you go and get information on a PDF or Adobe program (Command I), under "Open With" should say Adobe Reader App and at the left bottom where you'll see"Name" then below that,"everyone"-now just across you'll probably see "Read Only".(if you don't see this then go to step 5). This should be Read & Write so that Adobe Acrobat can create the Adobe Reader program to allow you to open and use a PDF.
If you have Adobe Reader 10.0 on your Apps, try going to step 5 below
1) Go to your user folder on your hard drive (ie: "lew").
2) Open Library/Application Support/ folder.
3) If there isn't an "Adobe" folder, create one now (go to File-->New Folder menu item) and name it "Adobe".
4) If there is an "Adobe" folder, right click on it and choose "Get Info".
5) Expand the "Sharing & Permissions" area at the bottom of the info window. (click the triangle) so that "system", "admin" and "everyone" appears.
6) Click the lock icon in the lower right of the window. Enter your password in the dialog that appears.
Now you'll see various choices you can make and "Read & Write" is open of them.
7) For your username (ie: "lew") entry under "Name", make sure it says "Read & Write" to the right of it. If your username isn't listed, make sure to the right of "everyone" it says "Read & Write".
Now Acrobat should launch properly when double clicked in the Finder as well as when viewing PDFs in Safari.
If this works please let me know

Leopard and Adobe Web CS3

Here is my experience with Leopard and Adobe Web CS3.
-Installed Leopard on my intel imac without a hitch
-Installed CS3 without any problems
-Flash CS3 runs great. PS and DW seems to run well too, but havn't got to take PS and DW through all its paces
One Caveat: the pull down menus in CS# that have the "more" arrow, the flyouts don't activate as smoothly as they should, I have to click on the "more" arrow to see the flyouts. At least, that is the way it is in Flash CS3. The flyouts activated on "Mouse Over" previously in Tiger.
I would very much like to see this fixed...Adobe....

Right now Adobe is saying things won't be patched until January. Hang in there! (adobe.com)

Anybody have a resolution for PRIAMOS file download using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader XI?

Does anyone have experience of the EU PRIAMOS file download system? I am experiencing difficulties in downloading files in Adobe Reader format ( I have set the default PDF reader to Adobe Reader).
The PRIAMOS system can only communicate with Windows 32bit - Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher or......
IE 6 or 7
IE 7 or 8 (in compatibility mode)
Supported PDF programmes are:
Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher
My Adobe Reader software is the latest version (Adobe Reader XI for Mac with latest update as at 10 Sept 2013)
The PRIAMOS system does not officially support Mac computers, but PRIAMOS has been used successfully with OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard) and Mozilla Firefox (2.5) (with built in PDF reader disabled and Adobe Reader enabled) and Adobe Reader 8.1
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Oops, I hit return before I was finished!
In short, does anyone have any ideas apart from those I've tried. One solution seems to be to go back to 10.6.4 - one of the other discussions seem to indicate that the probelm comes in with 10.6.8.
Thanks!

With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9

I have windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9. When i open pdf files from a website i cannot save the document. I don't get an error message, it just does not open.

Have you tried capturing these application in separate packages? I have been successful in capturing IE8 in one package and Adobe Reader XI in another package and then using the OptionalAppLinks option in the IE8 package to point to the Adobe Reader dat file. Just make sure that both packages work outside of the applinking. Also, you can try to install Adobe to the native machine and see if the embedded pdfs work in the virtual IE package.
These are just the troubleshooting steps that I would take to narrow down what is causing the issue you are seeing.

Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

Hello,
I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Safari, itunes, and Adobe Reader wont start up on iBook G4

I have an iBook G4 that I purchased from a friend a few months ago that seemed to be working fine up until two days ago. Now for almost no reason at all, Safari, itunes and Adobe reader will not open anymore. Can someone please help me?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Did your friend give you the system discs for the machine? If not, get them. Then see if you can boot from the Tiger disc and repair your boot drive.
Also, you can go to Disk Utility and try repairing permissions. If you have downloaded software and not done this, there will likely be many permissions to repair. Downloading can change permissions, and it is good practice to repair permissions after downloading software.
While in Disk Utility, check the SMART status of the drive. If it says anything other than "verified", the drive is on the way out. It may also be on the way out even if DU says that SMART is verified.
If you can get the discs, also see if you can find the Apple Hardware Test and boot to it and run the extended version of it.
Does the iBook still have its original hard drive? If so, the drive could be beginning to fail. If that's the case, you will need to replace it.
This is just a place to start. Report back with how it goes.
Good luck!

Installation of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader on the same machine

What is the recommendation from Adobe on having both Adobe Acrobat Pro/Std installed and Adobe Reader installed on the same machine?
Is there an 'official' or 'recommended' statement for this?

I think it is not recommended or supported for versions earlier than X.

Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Reader

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (AP) and Adobe Reader 9
(AR) installed on a WinXP system. Both AP and AR work, but if one
is open I cannot start the other: If AP is open and I try to open
a pdf file in AR (right click -> open with... -> Acrobat Reader
9) the file opens in AP. If AR is open and I try to open a pdf
file in AP the opposite happens.
I am sure there must be a setting somewhere that turns this
behavior off but I cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated.

You are simply finding another reason why Adobe does not recommend this combination. You may be able to try the /n command line directive to see if it allows multiple runs between the two.

Windows Search 4.0 and Adobe Reader 9.2

I've a small search utility that uses Windows Search 4.0 as the search engine. My utility queries Windows Search and retrieves the results. I've a few PDF files as well to search. I'm able to search a few of these PDFs using the my utility and some of the PDFs are never returned in the search results, although, I copy a phrase in that PDF and search. Search fails when I try from Windows Search interface as well.
As I understand, the IFilter is bundled with the Adobe Reader package from AR 8.0. So, I've not installed it separately. The strange thing some PDFs are searchable and some or not. Am not sure as what could be the issue here . Anyone else have faced this issue? Am not sure what to look for to resolve this issue?

I have just encountered the same problem. I am using the HTC Titan phone by Sprint with WM6 and Adobe Reader LE 2.0. I am only interested in internal document links (jumps to other pages). I tried two PDFs which work fine on the PC under Reader 7.0 but don't work on the HTC. I even tried setting the conversion option on ActiveSync to OFF.
At this time, even Foxit Reader doesn't support internal links. I wonder if LE worked fine under WM5?
Please help me resolve this one. Thank you,
Bob

Adobe Acrobat Pro X and Adobe Reader 9 compatibility with Mac.

Does Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 and Adobe Reader 9 version 9.2.0 work with Maverick or Yosemite? I don't mind to have a Maverick OS (though may not be easy to get unless old stock).

Hi Novetan,
Please see the system requirements for Acrobat and Reader: System requirements | Acrobat family of products
Let us know if you have additional questions.

Insufficient data sent error in Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X

I have an issue that is happening with several users that I support. It is only happening in a specific program that they use. When they open PDFs, they get the message insufficient data sent and then a blank document opens. I noticed that this seemed to be an issue a couple years ago, but it was apparently solved with recent releases of Adobe reader. I have installed and set up Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X, but the results are the same and very intermittent. It can happen when trying to open a document and then not happen 10 seconds later on the same doc. The company that provides the online program blames Adobe. Where do I proceeed from here?

Hello,
unfortunately it's a reserved document. I'll try to reproduce the issue with a different design and, if possible, I'll post a link to it.
Thank you!
Best regards,
SV

Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro. But in editable PDF combobox search is not working properly.
It's only search first character.

My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.
