Opening 'old' PDF files using Adobe Reader 9

Hi all, has anyone else had problems opening PDF files created prior to mid August 2006 using the latest reader? I can read these files ok using Version 7.1 which fortunately i still have on one of my systems. It only seems to be those provided by a specific utility company (Gas/Electric bills) is there any way of determining what is hanging version 9? It seems to start loading & then just registers as 'Not responding' in task Manager.... Still using Windows 2000; SEMPRON 3400+; 2Gbyte memory system hangs, yet other system using version 7.1 Windows 2000; DURON 1400; 512mbyte memory works fine.
any ideas??????

I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Which tablets allow you to hyperlink to other pdf files using adobe reader?

    On my windows pc, i can click the hyperlink on a file that then opens another pdf file.
    the adobe reader on the windows tablet doesn't allow this function, nor does the chromebook.
    the new ipad is a bit too expensive and the old ipad (1) can't use ios7, so that doesn't work either.
    any recommendations for netbooks or tablets would be appreciated.
    thanks!!

    Hi  jeanniemtbean,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Adobe Reader does not provide you with this facility. This is a feature of Acrobat.
    Thanks,

    Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

    What is your operating system?
    Open a PDF from where?  If online, in what browser?

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
    See also:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all:
    I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
    It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
    Is there away to sign this electronically?
    Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
    Can I sign with a pen tool with in  Adobe Reader 9?
    Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
    Thanks in advance!!

    That depends.
    Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
    They are different things.

  • How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

    I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library.  I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad.  I can't see how I can open those PDF files.  The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly.  Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

    Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
    To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks.  You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
    To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
    Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader
