Opening Acrobat 9 Standard Open Alot of PDF Windows

When I click on the shortcut for Acrobat 9 Standard it open more pdf windows than my computer can handle and I have end taks it through the Task manager.  Why is it opening PDF files when I open the program with the shortcut.  Also how do I resolve this.
Computer Specs:
Core2Duo
4 GB DDR2
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Please help asap

India lady said she would "escalate" and someone would call me withing 24 hours. Nobody called. Too bad, twist slowly in the wind seems to be Adobe's message. I own a jewelry store and I do whatever it takes to take care of my customers. Meanwhile, I paid for their product which was working fine until their update and now it doesn't. Not only no pdf printer, but distiller won't even open. Hangs up and I have to CTRL ALT DEL to shut it down. Manual PDF printer install asks for i386, a windows folder. I have it. It lives in Windows>driver cache but the install doesn't see it. Is there no one at Adobe with the knowledge to fix this? Will Adobe do whatever it takes? If they don't, I will do whatever it takes to get them to do whatever it takes. Grrrr.

  • Opening Acrobat Pro Opens ALL PDFS

    I have a real glitch. When I open Acrobat Pro for some reason it opens all of my pdfs... I mean all, every PDF I have opens in the past on my computer opens, and I have to force quit. Any help?

    This is a real bug...many folks on both Windows and Mac sides are experiencing it...I'm surprised Adobe hasn't patched it yet. Something is launching everything in your History cache.
    The only solution I've had success with is to
    NOT force quit it (it'll just do it again the next time you launch),
    let it open all of the windows,
    option-click close on the last window opened,
    quit Acrobat,
    then restart it.
    It hasn't happened in a few months since we let it "run its course."

  • Users w/least privileges in Acrobat Standard can't create PDF files. Could this be security setting?

    Trying to find out where Acrobat stores its temp files while creating/printing a new PDF and if it is possible to tell the program to use another location.  My guess, and I could definitely be wrong, is that our Sys Admins have locked users from writing into this temp folder.  Additionally security audit logs are filled quickly when users attempt to cut and paste from Acrobat.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    First of all, you should ask your sys admin to not lock this folder. This
    can cause a lot of problems with many applications.
    The temp folder used by Acrobat is actually not the Windows temp folder,
    though, but an internal one, which can be found by executing this code in
    the JS console in Acrobat:
    app.getPath("user", "temp")
    In my case (Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7), it is:
    /C/Users//AppData/Local/Temp/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0
    It is possible, though, that applications like Distiller still use the
    Windows temp folder for some other tasks.

  • Adobe acrobat standard save pdf to jpeg is it possibel?

    I have a question about adobe acrobat standard.
    can you save pdf to jpeg? or is it just the Pro version that it works on?

    Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
    1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
    If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
    I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
    Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
    Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

    I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
    In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
    With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
    I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
    I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
    Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
    You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
    I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
    Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
    Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
    I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
    I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader  AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
    I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
    However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
    I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
    The problem came back.
    I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
    I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
    Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

  • Acrobat Standard 10 starts up and then shuts down within a few seconds

    Im running windows 7 professional. I was using adobe acrobat Standard 10 and downloaded and installed the files to be able to view 3D pdf's. after that it would open acrobat standard and then shut down after a few seconds. So then i tried to use acrobat pro 11 and then it worked fine. The problem was that this acrobat was only a trial version. I then tried to do a system restore to just have the acrobat standard 10. I then was having the same issues as before. So i unistalled everything including the 3D viewing program. Reinstalled just acrobat standard 10 and i still have the same issue. I manually downloaded the latest update and that has not worked. I am not to sure what to do???

    With the uninstall (and hopefully deactivation), you should have also run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and removed the Acrobat folder. the reboot and reinstall.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard I/O Reads Writes Out of Control

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 on Windows XP SP3 with the latest updates installed. In the last few months I have frequently caught acrobat.exe running even when I had no acrobat windows open. The way I know when this is occurring is because my disk read/write light goes crazy. When I open up the task manager I see that Acrobat has hundreds of thousands of disk I/O reads and writes. It is almost like it is caching itself or something. Anyway, does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to make this stop? Right now I just have to go in and force close the app via the Task Manager.
    Thanks in advance,
    CF

    Thanks but I have tried both with and without acrotray running first and it still occurrs. Additionally, when I open it in relation to reboots doesn't matter. The only thing that I think might change behavior is whether or not Acrobat has been opened inside a web browser. There may be some question as to whether or not IE or FF close it properly.

  • Acrobat Standard v6 and Reader v8 conflict

    I have both Acrobat V6 and Reader v8 installed on my PC. I use the full version to create pdfs, and version 8 is used to open pdfs on web pages. For some reason, I am not able to open Acrobat Standard at all. Instead, version 8 reader opens.
    If I browse to the Acrobat standard icon in the programs menu, Reader 8 opens. If I browse to the Acrobat standard exe file in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe", version 8 Reader opens.
    If I right click on a pdf document and select Open With... and choose Acrobat Standard 6 from the list, the document opens in Reader version 8.
    I can't uninstall version 8 from my PC because I don't have administrator authority. I'm seeking help in the forum because our IT support is terrible.

    Open the task list and stop AcroRd??. It is a part of Reader that stays resident. You are finding out why it is not recommended to run both the Reader and Acrobat. If you do, you have to learn how to disable the one you do not want and properly associate the file extension - that is your job in your OS.

  • Acrobat X - getting started - create pdf

    When I open Acrobat X Pro, there is a window that says "Open a Recent File" on the left and "Getting Started" on the right.  The first choice under "Getting Started" is "Create PDF."  When I click on "Create PDF" I get an "Open File" dialogue box.  I don't want to open a file.  I want to create a PDF.  In my particular situation, at the moment, I want to create a PDF from the scanner.  This is an option from the pull-down menus and the buttons, is there a way to make it an option from the "Getting Started" window?

    Thanks.  After a while, I started using the big "create" button.  It works to create a new scan to .pdf.  But, can't find a dependable way to insert from scanner.

    You cannot customize the entries on the Welcome Screen, but very few people use the right side of the Welcome Screen for routine tasks, it's there as a reminder of the type of things Acrobat can do. Creating PDFs from your scanner is usually activated via the large "Create..." button on the main toolbar, or the File menu.

  • Acrobat X doesn't maximize PDF's at start

    When opening Acrobat it will be in maximized window, however any PDF opened from Acrobat or directly from file explorer will open at something slightly smaller. I've poured over the preferences and settings and can't find anything that would change this setting. Also looking over the forums I have seen a coulple older posts that were unanswered. Would this be a bug report or feature request or am I just missing some setting somewhere that will adjust this?
    Thanks,
    Joel

    Thanks, that would help the zoom and page view of the PDF withen the window but doesn't adjust the window into maximized, I still have to hit the square maximize button between the minimize and close, _ □ x
    thanks,

  • Why am I asked to subscribe to ExportPDF? I have Acrobat Standard.

    Hi, I purchased the Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to I be capable of export pdf files into word /  excel files and now tha Adobe is inquiring me to purchase another signature. Can I export pdf files with the Acrobat XI Standard? If not I would like to cancel my purchase and be refunded of the amount paid, please. My inquiry number is AD003280527BR
    Regards,

    Hi palomacortez,
    With Acrobat Standard, you can save PDF files to Word and Excel format. Choose File > Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document, or File > Save As > Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. There's no need to purchase an ExportPDF subscription.
    It sounds to me that you may actually have your PDF file open in Reader (and not Acrobat), which is why you're being asked to subscribe. Did you download and install Acrobat Standard after you purchased your subscription?
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Displaying the full version of Acrobat Standard within another application

    We are developing a document management application where users can edit documents within the application. Ideally, we would like to display Acrobat within a Window's Form Control, and have the full functionality of Acrobat Standard available. We can accomplish this by using the Window's API to "stuff" the entire Acrobat window, menus and all, inside of the Window's Form, using the SetParent function. However, when we do that, we find that for certain functionality, we encounter errors. For example, the print dialog does not display correctly, and dragging toolbars around causes the application to crash with a memory access error.
    Looking at the Acrobat SDK 9.0, the OpenWindowEx() function would seem the other alternative to display Acrobat Standard within our application. However, this only provides a small subset of the functionality that you get with Acrobat Standard. I've been able to re-add some functionality, like commenting, but not everything, especially options under the Document menu.
    I should add that once we have a Windows Form control that contains the Adobe Standard application, we host it in IE so that it can display within a web application (this feature is built in to .NET/IE).
    Is there any way to make the entire set of Acrobat Standard features available within a Windows application? Or a Web application? Some modification of either of the above methods, or a third alternative?
    All the users of this application have Adobe Acrobat already installed.

    No, there is no way to host the entire Acrobat application outside of Acrobat - only a limited set of functions are available in "external applications". This is by design.

  • Windows 8: Make PDFs open by default in Acrobat Standard or Pro instead of Reader

    In a Windows 8 environment, how can you set set all PDFs to open in Acrobat Standard or Professional instead of Reader? I've tried right-clicking on a PDF in Windows Explorer, selecting Properties, then changing the default app from Reader to Professional. Although it seems to work (does not generate an error), PDFs continue to open in Reader. Surely there is a way to change this. I've spent about 15 minutes Googling this, but was surprised I could find no solution.
