Memory leak on latest Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Win XP SP2

Dear Adobe Developers,
I have encountered a strange problem. I open a PDF file of size about 16.5 MB, I search trough it and then the memory allocated starts steadily growing until it fills out the entire RAM and the virtual memory as well. Strange thing is this only happens after I perform a search through the file; if I don't do it, all stays within normal. I was wondering if it is not a memory leak of some kind? I use Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Win XP with Service Pack 2 on Celeron 1.7 GHZ, 256 DDR RAM, 320 GB HDD ect .. Normally the RAM occupied by the OS itself is only about 100 MB so there are ~150MB left free. But they seem not to be enough even when we add to them the virtual memory.
Greetings,
Georgi Popov, BG

>I have more than 700 MB virtual memory.
That's probably not enough for normal operations. A couple of
gigabytes is safer.
There may be a problem, though. This doesn't sound like normal
behaviour. Acrobat may be cacheing text - does the size stop
increasing if you search for something, and find it, on the LAST page?

How to determine full version of latest adobe reader

Hi,
How can I determine full version of latest Adobe Reader without installing Adobe Reader?
I mean I need to know 4th digit of version, it is the most important for me.
Adobe Shockwave and Flashdownload pages provide such informations via JSON from
HTTP request.
Reader download website shows me only 3 digits 10.1.3 and I need to read 10.1.3.23
to automate my security checker.
Thanks in advance for reply.

No it's not true. latest version is 10.1.3.23.
Latest digit is probably security patch.
The latest digit is the build number. This may be different for different modules; you may find DLLs that have a higher build number than AcroRd32.exe
If there is a new security release, it will be identified by the first three digits.

Using latest Adobe reader on my mac

I downloaded the latest Adobe reader for a software program I will need on my Mac. Using Safari browser. Demo of software worked fine. But now I can't see/print my online bank and credit card statements. Why?

Hi, Claudio et all:
It wasn’t a demo version for Reader. It was a demo for fiachraforms—software that I will need for work. I downloaded the Adobe reader from the Adobe site in the mac portion. Meanwhile, my bank had advised be to download chrome. But Chrome wouldn’t download. I tried updating my firefox browser but now that’s going in a vicious circle—it won’t update but I get the “closed unexpectedly” message when I try to reply to this.

Unable to sign a document using latest adobe reader.

Hi guys,
I've never had to sign a document using reader before so I'm really lost. I've downloaded the latest adobe reader version and created an adobe account. The form is enabled for reader and signatures as far as I can tell.
I'm logged in while the file is open but under the right side tab "sign" all the options are grayed out, I also cant just click on the signature box like it mentions in the help vids.
I've added a screen shot to show you what I mean.
Thanks guys,
Mike

Try updating the software, first? PKCS12 is the latest one.
Also-- you have to make sure you have a digital ID stored in the computer (or through a server), or you can create one.

I have a mac/downloaded latest adobe reader & cannot find to accept end license agreement

I have a mac/downloaded latest adobe reader & cannot find to accept end license agreement. It says downloaded successful. I go to use it and it won't work. Said to close. I've opened adobe reader again and brings me back to install which I hit again and it says already installed.

I am having this same issue, which is frustrating. How does Adobe not have weekend tech support? I keep getting told to just "open the program" well, i have tried to open it, and it doesnt show as downloaded, so i will go to download it, and it says "you already have this installed"... well okay, then i go to find it, and it doesnt exist anywhere on my computer and tells me to download it again, and annoying triangle i keep going in.

Adobe Reader is meant for reading pdf documents.

After downloading PSE 12 you need to install it to be abvle to use it.
Does it show in the list of installed programs?
If Yes then what error do you get when you try to launch the software.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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.

Memory Leak Issue for Adobe Access iOS API

Hi,
We are trying to develop an iOS app (with ARC enabled) using Adobe Acces API 4.0 and we have identified that the function [drmManager createDRMSession] has memory leak.
DRMSESSION = [drmManager createDRMSession:METADATA playlist:PLAYLIST error:nil complete:^() {}];
We are using:
DRMSESSION -> weak
METADATA ->strong (as need to share within object)
PLAYLIST ->strong (as need to share within object)
After calling this function, the object is unable to dealloc and most of the leaking object related to networking (such as CFNetwork...)
Is this a known issue for the Adobe Access iOS API or we are missing some key steps.
Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ans0600, sorry about that, I read Hiroshi's forward too quickly. I've done a little digging and have come up with two work-arounds:
Create a file with ARC disabled to translate the returned object to be an autorelease
declare the returned DRMSession as __unsafe_unretained and use CFRelease, as noted on stackexchange
In the future we may change this method to return an autoreleased object to avoid this issue. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Memory Leak Problem at Adobe LiveCycle Server 9.0

Hi All,
We want to upgrade our system to 9.0. During the performance test we have found memory Leak problem at ALS 9.0. I explain the detailed problematic issue below. Is there any body who has any suggest?
We have Adobe Livecycle ES2 9.0 SP2 installed on WAS 6.1. But also WAS on Windows Server 2008 R2. We call java web services from .Net Web service for generating PDFs.
On Java side “com/adobe/internal/pdftoolkit/services/javascript/GibsonMemoryTracking” class is causing Memory Leak problem at server.
Our .Net Codes. I copied below. First we generate PDF then we convert this pdf to static pdf.
First We call the GeneratePDF function.
public static bool GeneratePdf(Document document, byte[] pdfTemplate)
        try
            //Create a FormDataIntegrationService object and set authentication values
            FormDataIntegrationService formDataIntegrationClient = new FormDataIntegrationService();
            formDataIntegrationClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Import XDP XML data into an XFA PDF document
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inXMLData = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inXMLData.binaryData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(document.XmlData);
            //Create a BLOB that represents the input PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inPDFForm = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            inPDFForm.binaryData = pdfTemplate;
            //Import data into the PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB results = formDataIntegrationClient.importData(inPDFForm, inXMLData);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Pdf generated successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on generating the pdf";
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;
Then We call the ConvertPDF function.
public static bool ConvertPdf(Document document)
        try
            //Create a OutputServiceService object
            OutputServiceService outputClient = new OutputServiceService();
            outputClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Create a BLOB object
            ALCOutputService.BLOB inData = new ALCOutputService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inData.binaryData = document.PdfData;
            //Set rendering run-time options
            RenderOptionsSpec renderOptions = new RenderOptionsSpec();
            renderOptions.cacheEnabled = true;
            //Create a non-interactive PDF document
            ALCOutputService.BLOB results = outputClient.transformPDF(inData, TransformationFormat.PDF, PDFARevisionNumber.Revision_1, false, null, PDFAConformance.B, false);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Pdf converted successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on converting dynamic pdf to static pdf";
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;

Memory Leak Problem which is viewed via wily tool:

Hi Mahir,
Can you attach the results of this performance test where we can see how GibsonMemoryTracking class is causing the memory leak issue.
Also do you see any stackTrace in the LiveCycle server logs related to memory / heap when you run this performance test ?
Thanks,
Simer

Latest Adobe Reader update deleted all files from my desktop - help please!

Dear all!
Yesterday I opened up a .pdf document with Adobe Reader. I clicked the Help | Check for Updates option. The reader informed me that there was an update available. I then disabled my antivirus (as is recommended). I selected the available update by checking the box next to it. I then clicked the Download option.
The update began to download. At that moment I noticed that the .pdf document was still open (i.e. Adobe Reader was still running). Knowing that the installation, when it begins, tends to notify me that it must close Adobe Reader in order for the installation to continue, I decided to close Adobe Reader myself before being prompted to do so. All was fine until that moment, as the update download and install runs in a completely separate process from the Reader, it was not affected.
After I closed the Reader, with the update still running I noticed that all files I had on my desktop were gone. None of the folders were missing, just the single files and most of my shortcuts. I checked to see if the files were just invisible or phisically missing. It was the latter. Windows Explorer showed that all files I had on my desktop were gone (deleted/overwritten I guess). A search of my computer for the file names came up empty, even though I was searching with the "search hidden and system files" options enabled!
I tried a number of deleted file restoration softwares but none have identified the desktop files I was missing.
Be so kind as to spare me from the "did you check the power cord" category of "answers", as I am not a complete idiot. The Acrobat Update, or something associated with it has to be at the root of this problem, as the antivirus software I have installed came up empty when I searched the computer for virurses, worms and the likes...
All help on this matter would be appreciated. Needless to say, most of my current work was stored on the desktop...
I am running WindowsXP sp. 3, Acrobat Reader 9.34
With regards
jack_84

Please ignore the previous unrelated reply - I will deal with it separately.
I must first say that this is a very puzzling problem, and that I have never heard of anything like it. Apart from the missing desktop content, it also puzzles me that you state your Adobe Reader version as 9.34, when the latest Reader version is actually 9.3.2.
Anyway, how to solve it? Can I assume that you do not have a very recent backup, from where you can simply restore all the lost content?
I do not know if your desktop content is really gone (deleted), or if it is somehow just not visible. There are a few things we can try, but I strongly suggest that you make a full backup of your system before you try anything!
Since I have never seen this before, I cannot make any definitive recommendations, but just suggest what I would do if that happened on my computer. Again, not before making a full backup.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
System Restore to a time before the problem started.
Check the following registry keys, if they have a value 'NoDesktop', and what it is set to
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
If you are on XP Pro, you can use gpedit.msc to check these settings (Configuration | Administrative Templates | Desktop ["Hide and disable all items on the desktop"]).

Memory Leak in latest Safari (5.0.4)?

Since I updated to the latest Mac OS/X update Safari's memory usage seems to be increasing in a way that looks like a memory leak. I usually leave my mac running all of the time and find that after a few days Safari is using over a 1GB of real memory and 3-5GB of virtual memory. Sometimes it also seems to freeze — with the disk churning in the background when I try to switch to it.
It may be related to viewing high-resolution images (it seems to happen more often if I view very high-resolution pictures, for example Nasa Picture of the Day).
Anyone else seeing these issues? Occasionally it crashes when I try to kill it — I'll post the dump info next time.

Hi,
Delete the Safari cache and history more often, not to mention restarting your Mac.
Disable plug-ins in Safari / Preferences - Security. See if that helps.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions.
Occasionally it crashes
Post a crash log so we can try and help if emptying the cache and history trail / plugins / Extensions aren't the issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

MSI installer for the latest Adobe Reader XI releases

Hey. I had a bad problem in installing Adobe Reader XI. I checked the forums and I read this topic "http://forums.adobe.com/message/5230859" which was really helpful. But the real program is that the MSI package is only aviable for the 11.0.00 version and as you all know the 11.0.03 is already released and I want it but it doesn't have a MSI package, neither does 11.0.02 version or 11.0.01 version so where can I find the MSI packages for the latest releases.
Adobe Reader 11.0.00 version "ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/"
Adobe Reader 11.0.01 version "ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.01/en_US/"

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 version "ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.03/en_US/"
Please help or do I have to stick with the 11.0.00 version for ever ?

There are no MSI installers for minor releases, only MSP patches (and EXE installers).
