Os 10.6.8 Acrobat Reader v 9 and 10 won't work

I have an iMac 24 running OS 10.6.8 and I can no longer load .pdf files from internet sites. I can load them when they are on my local HDD. I deleted Adobe Reader a couple times and re-installed version 10.1 and then ver 9. All I get when I try to load a .pdf from an internet site using Safari 5.1.5 or FireFox version 11.0 is a blank grey screen.

Select Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java Applet Plug-in
QuickTime Plug-in
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

IPad, Acrobat Reader, Content (text and pictures) no longer showing, just blank pages

Hi,
I have a user who successfully opened a .pdf attachment from outlook mail and then opened it in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and then edited it and moved it to a created folder.
Everything was working fine and the user highlighted text in the .pdf document too.
What then happened is when the user subsequently opened the file, the highlights were shown but not the content (text and pictures).
I checked they had the latest version via the apps store updates and noted there had recently been an update which had been applied.
I did check also in the diagnostics to see if there were any acrobat files, but there were none, I also turned on 'send diagnostics' in case this this will help in the future.
I rebooted the iPad by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared.
Checked again to see if I could view the .pdf content (it's around 8.5 MB file with 32 pages), still nothing showing apart from the yellow highlights that the user had done.
From within Acrobat Reader on the iPad I chose to open the file in iBooks to see if I could read it there. I could successfully open the file in iBooks and the front page thumbnail was showing (I did note that in Acrobat reader the thumbnail was white).
I found the email with attachment and opened it again in Acrobat Reader and it opens correctly, suggesting somehow the previous copy had become damaged? I have now saved this good copy over the top of the existing bad copy and all is OK except that the user has lost the highlights previously made.
Can you give me some idea of how this file has become broken in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and how I can avoid it happening again.
Many Thanks.

Thanks for replying.
This is the first time it has happened, the user has several folders containing files (on their iPad), (some .pdf's with additional highlights) these files are typically company agm board packs so contain pages of text and photo's too.
I put it down the fact that when I checked the app store for updates there had recently been an update and the user had not rebooted their iPad for some time, hence some of the underlying adobe reader files were perhaps between versions.
I don't know how you handle files when performing an update, do you close the app, flush files from memory and do a clean update?
I can confirm that the .pdf file had not been sent as an email attachment after having added the highlights.
Because the acrobat document contains so many pictures (32 pages and 8.5MB) when scrolling through it takes several seconds for some pages to appear, and others with text and pictures quite a while for the text to become sharp, I presume this is because the Acrobat Reader cannot open the 8.5MB file in one go and has to keep swapping it out of memory. Having reached the end if I scroll back to the beginning it takes 10's of seconds before the first page re-appears, otherwise it's just a white page. Interestingly in iBooks the pages appear almost immediately when viewing.
The iPad in question is model MD368B/A, 64GB, Software Version 7.1.1 (11D201) and has 28GB Memory available. Usage tells me Adobe Reader is taking 328MB and is version 11.3.1
I have just finally browsed back to recent documents, opened 2 or 3 other documents and then this one again (from recent) and it is now broken, just shows white pages (and on the thumbnail too) with my test highlights. so I can now apparently reproduce it.
Hope this all helps you re-produce
Regards,

Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?

Hello AC,
You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

Acrobat Reader 9.3 and 8.0 and IE 8 and web links

Hi
This is a bit odd but the last few days I have been having problems with Reader 8.0 and IE8 in that if I clicked a web link to a pdf then the new page just hung and gave the error "There is a problem with Adobe Acrtobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." I upgraded to Acrobat 9.3 and have the same problem.
I looked further into the issue and found that this only occurs if the pdf file is opened in a new page. If the link target is not _blank then the file opens fine with no problems.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
Thanks
Nikki

I hear what you are saying and everyone hates IE but we have to design for all browsers.
I guess the best work round is to forget the target as _blank and wait until Microsoft stop that working in IE as well!
Just thought someone else might have found a work round or that Adobe would want to find a fix also otherwise people will stop using Acrobat Reader as well.

Acrobat Reader 9.0 and 9.1 "Print as an image" problem

Hello. I have a problem with printing the documents in Acrobat Reader 9 and 9.1 (I use always czech version). I have to use "Print as an image" checkbox because I don't have the necessary fonts. I used this function from version 6 to 8 and there was never the problem, but in version 9+ it seems the checkbox does not have any effect. Thank you for help. Have a nice day :-)

Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1 and printto command on file

Good morning.
We've installed the new 9.1 version of Acrobat Reader.
And we found that "print" and "printto" command on PDF files have been removed!
Is this by design?
We didn't find any release note about this.
We're currently using the "printto" feature to print PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Reader on a selected printer device... but with this new version it won't be possible...
Is it possible to restore both print commands?
Thank you very much
Best regards
Chiara

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
Can anyone recommend a solution?

If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.

Acrobat Reader PPC 2 and submit by email

Hi,
I searched the forums before posting this question. I created a form with Live cycle Designer which had a submit by email button (with to address set). Running this form on a PDA (Acrobat Reader Pocket PC 2) is fine, however when I try to submit the form it pops up an empty email mail message (i.e. no to address or subject, but with attachment). Is there anyway to get it to at least populate the to address?

Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option. In that field type the return email address in the following format: mailto:[email protected] Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package. Change that to PDF. Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email." Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 won't open

Hi
Recently I've been having problems with Acrobat Reader. When I open a document, after say 5 seconds it freezes every time, regardless of the document. This went on a few days, until I uninstalled it and downloaded the most recent version for Vista SP2 (10.1.4). Now it won't open at all. If I click the program icon, I get a loading disk for a few seconds, then nothing. If I try to open a document, I get the starting up banner, but nothing beyond this and when I click the screen again the banner disappears. Task manager reveals Acrobat is not running. Any ideas what is going on or how I can resolve it.
Thanks

Sorry it's Reader, not Acrobat, I would edit the original post but can't see an option to.
Anyway, it actually will open, just takes about 15-20 minutes from clicking the icon until it does, then it works normally. I did try a repair. It said the repair completed successfully but also said 'Failed to connect to the DDE server.'

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader, free download, and it won't let me do anything until I pay...why?

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader and it continues to tell me I have to sign up and pay before I can do anything. Why?

By the way, maybe you're just confused about the product, since you're certainly confused about the name.
There is no product (not any more) called Adobe Acrobat Reader.
There is Adobe Reader - it is free.
There is Adobe Acrobat - this is not free (but the download offers a free trial)
You can have either or both.

Which C# Adobe library should I use to open a PDF in Acrobat Reader 9, 10, and 11?

Hi, all.
I have a Visual Studio C# application that writes an Adobe PDF using iText. Does anyone know how to programmatically open the PDF on client's computer and ensure it works for Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11?
-I have Adobe Reader XI on my machine and "Adobe Pdf Reader" is NOT showing up in my COM references. This is the library that I've heard people use for this.
-The "Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library" is showing up there, but does not add to my project because of the following error message: "A reference to 'Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library' could not be added. Could not register the ActiveX type library....adoberfp.dll'." But I haven't persued this further becuase I'm not even convinced I should be using this library, which brings me to my next point:
-Please don't tell me to go read the Adobe SDK spec. In searching for this answer, I found posts on here with people asking this question and getting not great answers, or half-*** answers to go read the Adobe SDK spec. I have the Adobe SDK spec, it's terrible. The example source code is laughably poor and reads like it was written by someone with bad english, with poor naming, commenting, and documentation, and there is no separate document that explains what the source code does. I think the reason people say this is because they haven't read it themselves and they don't know the answer and hope to deal with the question by handwaving. Sorry for the rant if you weren't going to do that!
Thanks in advance, if anyone knows.
-Brandon

It will be from a client-side application, and I will be reviewing this further and get back on it. At this time my assembly isn't the correct type of 32-bit, which may be a deal-breaker. But downgrading it to 32-bit, I wasn't able to find or include the appropriate library for AXAcroPDF.
Just a word about my trying to read the SDK documentation. The documentation folder has 5 items, a folder called "Javascript", an html file caled "Acrobat_11_SDK_Help_Shortcut.html", a zip file called "...HTMLHelp.zip," pdf_reference.pdf, and U3DElements.pdf. I've never heard of U3DElements, so surely that isn't meant for me. The pdf_reference.pdf, when opened, has three PDF links to two supplements to ISO 32000-1 and a document titled Document management. These describe the PDF spec, so that's not for me. So I must have to use the HTML documentation shortcut. I open it, and my browser says the redirect URL can't be found. Ah, may be that stuff in the ZIP file it's referencing. After unzipping it, you have to move the file around so that it actually references the right index.html inside the unzipped folders, and then even after this it loads up as two blank frames in my browser. I will look into why the links are all dead, but holy lord, this is just not very helpful at all.
Thanks for your help, Test Screen Name.
