Only able to open one .pdf without having to restart Acrobat

I am running Acrobat X Standard on Windows XP. Suddenly earlier this week, I have begun having a problem in which I can only one .pdf document without having to exit and reopen the program entirely. If you try to open a second, the sidebar with bookmarks is visible, but you can't view the document itself. The screen where .pdf is normally displayed is transparent (showing the gray Acrobat background).
Any suggestions?

Hi RahulTyagi4you
Thanks for your reply; however, I've messed something up on my computer. I've been cleaning up my Dell Latitude laptop by disabling programs that aren't necessary in my start-up and deleting old apps that are no longer needed to not only clean up but speed up my laptop and everything is working great now except whatever I did, my computer no longer recognizes that I subscribe the the monthly Acrobat Pro XI online subscription (I pay $21.19 with tax per month). Now, I can't password protect a PDF document so I'm not sure what I need to do to correct my problem. I'm sure it's something simple. Well, at least the computer is running faster and better minus my subscription to Acrobat Pro Thanks for letting me know that it wasn't a Norton 360 or Chrome issue. That helped. tstepup22

SINCE YOUR LATEST UPDATE, I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO OPEN ONE FIREFOX WINDOW AT A TIME, I ALSO LOST MY YAHOO SEARCH BAR TOOL.

I have had Firefox for a few years and have been very satisfied with all of it's features and qualities. I work a great deal from home and have always enjoyed the convenience of being able to work off of 3 or 4 Firefox screens at one time. By pulling up one screen over the other and then go back and forth (as I still am able to do with Internet Explorer), saves a lot of time and NEEDLESS effort.
Since your latest update the other day, I am now only able to get that 1 screen and no matter how many times I click on the Firefox Icon on my icon screen, no other Firefox screens will come up. I am stuck with that 1 screen...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I have also lost my Yahoo search tool bar due to your upgrade, as well as several others which I cannot seem to retrieve.
Thank you so Very much in advance for addressing and correcting this error.

Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos?

What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos or any other events?

Depends -what other clues? What recently changed? Do you have a good current backup? best guess is to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - and repair the database - if that does not resolve things rebuild your iPhoto library database

Hi Gilad

I'm not sure how to create an action I have Acrobat Pro 8.
My company would love if I could make it as a batch file or some exe so that each file doesn't have to be opened in Acrobat

Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use or open a pdf without holding/locking the file for update

Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use OR alternative open a pdf without holding/locking the file
We frequently generate pdf files from our 3D program and would like to know if it's possible to either open a pdf file in a way that it doesn't get locked or hold up so the pdf can be updated even when opened or in use.
Most programs e.g. ultra edit & notepad will let go the file when you opened and hence the file can be updated or over written even when in use.
If any guru can help, would be highly appreciated

Hi Abbas,
It's not possible to overwrite a pdf when it is already in use by a different program or user. The file then opens up in Read Only mode.
You can make a copy of the file and then apply those changes later in the original file. That's the only possible solution.
Regards,
Rahul

Unable to open PDFs on a specific computer. Other computers are able to open the PDFs. What could be wrong with this one computer? Please advise appropriate course of action?

Hi $Comptroller,
What are you using to open the PDFs? Reader or Acrobat? It may be that there's a problem with the application that you're using to open the PDFs. Please update (first) or repair Acrobat or Reader following the instructions in this document: Can't open PDF
Please let us know how it goes.

I need my application to be able to open a .pdf file which was previously synced to the iBooks PFDs Collection. I then wish to remove the file from the collection and send it to email.

Hi,
What's wrong is the font size and color you used to write this post. Please...
If you save an image edited in PS as a JPEG or TIFF file, anyone will be able to open it without having PS installed.

Only able to open HTTPS sites on my Mac

Hi -
I am only able to open HTTPS websites on my FF (17.0.8) and Safari(6.0.5). None of the HTTP sites are opeing in these broswers.
Things I followed to troubleshoot this problem..
I have Installed/Uninstalled FF & Java
Clear firewall setting
Rebuild Network Configuration
Created New User
****Booting in Safe Mode
Note***: In Safe Mode my issue was resolved. I was able to access HTTP Sites in Safe Mode and it worked even after rebooting. But when I rebooted my machine for the second time it again stopped accessing HTTP Sites.
Please Help.
Kind Regards,
Susheel

Try checking your host files they may be set up wrong.
The file is in /etc/hosts, I recommend opening by either opening a terminal and typing 'nano /etc/hosts' or using the program TextWrangler downloaded from the website, not the App store.
There should only be a few lines, the ones that start with # are comments, ignore them. Then there should be 4 lines probably 127...,255...,::1..., and some random numbers. Delete anything else.

Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2 BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
WHILE IN ADOBE READER I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
2. Operating System = Windows 7.
3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..

Not able to open a PDF file in Creative Cloud Illustrator. It shows missing links and so forth

I'm working on CS5 and saving my AI files as PDF. This is all for print, I have created the outlines, and flattened transparency between an image I had placed in on the PDF. My CreativeCLoud AI is not able to open the PDF. It shows that it is missing links. How do I fix this?

Provide the files linked to.

I am not able to open the pdf attachments that someone sent me it comes up with a gray box saying adobe cannot open?

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer. I have adobe acrobat pro x

I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer. I have adobe acrobat pro xi. the message i received was. "the document could not be saved. there was a problem reading the document (8)."
I was able to convert it to a Word document and then save, but I should not have to do that.

Did you try a Save As? What OS? Have you updated Acrobat?
Another alternative is to print to a new PDF. That is probably a better work flow than going to WORD and back.

There are 32 photo attachments on an email received. But only 20 are loisted in the attachment area and only able to open/save those twenty. What happened to the other 20 and why do they not show up?

I received an email with 40 images attached. However, I am only able to open/save 20 of them. Why can't I access the other 20?

Thanks for asking.
I was combining different types of files into a single PDF. Some of them were excel spreadsheets and I had set the print areas in each file. When I cleared the print area the problem stopped. So I am assuming that had something to do with it. Though I am not sure.
The strange thing was that I was able to open the excel source documents after creating the faulty PDF but some of the MS word source documents also had "access denied" status. I still cannot figure that part out.
