Open specific PDF document in Windows 8.1 Reader Application without File Associating

I have a user case where i need to be able to open one spesific PDF document without changing "File Associating" from Adobe Reader. Is there a good way to open the reader app and a document from CMD or simular? I know I manual can use "Open
With" but this is not a option because I need to do this in one operation from a shortcut on the start screen.

Hi,
For command option, you may find adobe reader application path, 
just like that:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader>AcroRd32.exe 
"D:\example.pdf"

  • Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

    Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

  • Opening up PDF in browser window automatically saves it to temp file

    Hi,
    In our application, we send pdfs to a popped open browser window for the user to access.
    One of the access features is a "Save" button on the pdf that will send an xfdf post of the form data back to the server. (we have the server url embedded in a form field an Acrobat JavaScript attached to a button does the "post").
    This usually works fine.  However, we have a few customers that complain the "Save" doesn't work.
    Turns out that the "Save" doesn't work because when the pdf is first loaded, it is being saved to a temporary file on the disk (and not held in the browser memory), so the authentication cookie of the browser session is now no longer retained with the "Saved As" copy of the pdf.  Thus, the pdf "Save" fails.
    So the question is, why does sometimes, the pdf automatically "save as" to the temporary directory, and usually it doesn't have this problem?
    We've seen this both with Acrobat Reader 8 and Acrobat Reader 9 (including the latest 9.3.).
    Thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill and Dave,
    Thanks for the thoughts.
    I'm confident that this pdf is getting opened in IE (see attached screenshot from a customer).
    As far as additional clues...  I was banging on this on my machine (Windows 7, IE 8.0.7600.16385), and I did see it occur once.
    Thanks for the thought on the browser.  I'll query the problem customers about their IE version (the site only allows using IE).
    When it occurred, (later it dawned on me...but not at the time), the "plug-in" that opened appeared to be Acrobat Standard window (because in hind-sight, I realized that the "Save As" button was available).  The way I seemed to cause it (but cannot reproduce it now) was to change the "Documents/Save Settings/Every X minutes (to value of 1 minute)", and also the Security(Enhanced) to "Enable Enhanced Security" to "true".
    note:  I have both Acrobat 9 Standard, and Acrobat 9 Reader installed on this machine.
    When I went an reset those values to the original, it was still "stuck" in the "saving to temporary disk" mode (great because it reproduced the problem, but then I seemed to have my machine stuck in this mode).
    So I rebooted, and then the IE plug-in seems to now always run Acrobat Reader...and I had the problem no more.
    I have not yet been able to get this stuck in this mode again...
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Andy

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

    I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents.  When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
    "The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
    The document is not read only and no other user has it open.  If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes.  I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
    Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

  • When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

    I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

    Doesn't it automatically save as a .pdf file?  That's what I get using IE9.

  • Opening Secured PDF documents in Adobe Reder 9.0

    Dear Forum Members,
    In our organisation, the links to the HR Policy documents are provided in our intranet. These documents are in PDF format protected with password. Also these documents are protected from Saving and Printing.We never face any security problems (No Save, No Tool Bars, Menu Bars, No Windows Controls and No Printing) till date using Adobe reader versions prior to ver 9.0. But our organization has recently upgraded the Adore Reader to 9.0. Now the users are able to save these PDF documents in their local systems and do printing also.
    We don't want to system to prompt for "Save or Open" where the PDF documents are clicked. It should directly open the PDF document
    If anyone of you can provide a solution, it will be a great.
    Thanks and Warm Regards,
    D.Basavalingam

    Also these documents are protected from Saving and Printing.
    You can't protect PDF documents from saving.

  • Can't open a pdf document over two or more junction points

    Hello,
    if i open a pdf document that's stored in a directory and this directiry is accessable over two or mor junction points, it will be fail. The message say something abount access denied, but the security is set to full access. In other application (e.g. notepad.exe) i can access this document. Then i tested it with one junction point and it works.
    So here is a szenario to test:
    1) Put a pdf document at C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf
    2) I can access C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
    3) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder2 to C:\Folder1
    4) I can access C:\Folder2\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
    5) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder3 to C:\Folder2
    6) I can't access C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader !!!
    I can normaly access the file at C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf but not with Acrobat Reader! In Notepad i can open the pdf document.
    I tested the lasted version 11.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) with all normally available patches.
    What's wrong? The original structure with the junction points are greater than the example above. But i've reduced it to this simple example.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks und Greetings
    Martin

    It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
    In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
    Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

    Hi higi97,
    How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
    You may try to follow the steps below:
    1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
    2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    3.Delete the opm.db file.
    4.Launch Creative Cloud.
    Let us know if that helps,
    Regards,

  • Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
    I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
    Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
    What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
    Thanks
    anand

    Hi,
    Can someone help me on this please?
    I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
    The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
    I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
    Any help on how to solve this will be great.
    Thanks

  • Why can't PC open a PDF document ?

    Many people using PC told me that they can't open a PDF document I sent them by email, from my MacBook Pro.
    I created the document on Pages and exported it in PDF, but when people try to open it, there is incompatibility.
    It's very bothering because I use it for work, and it happens almost all the time.
    What can I do ?

    I tried with my Live (= hotmail) one, I must try with my Gmail one. I'm really sorry but I don't understand the rest of your sentence "If Apple Mail, do you have Send Windows-Friendly Attachments checked in the compose attachment (paperclip) dialog? That will make a difference on the PC end." (i'm not a fluent english speaker).
    I don't know if the problem is related to Adobe, everyone reported to me that they can't open the file, so it would be weird if no one had Adobe on their computer.
    EDIT : I'm just thinking that I attach my document by sliding it from my desktop to the email, I don't know if I tried it by clicking the "attach files" icon. Is it what you meant ? If not, could it make a difference ?

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.
