PDF files closing automatically in adobe reader

Hi there,
A colleague is experiencing a problem when completing a editable PDF form. The problem that a little way through completing the form the form closes without notification or prompt from adobe reader and all information entered into the form is lost.
Any help on why this is happening would be gratefully received.
Many thanks and kind regards
Lee

That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.

    how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

    Hi aho,
    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
    What can I do with Reader?
    Let me know if you have further questions!

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

    Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
    Please advice.

    Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
    There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
    Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
    Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
    Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

  • How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi everyone
    After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    Therefore:
    1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
    2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
    My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
    Very thanks.
    Regards,
    Boholdt

    Hi again
    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
    disable in Internet Explorer 8.
    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
    the plugin.
    Another method is between the guide for accessibility
    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
    checkbox.
    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
    find the same assistant?
    Very thanks.
    Regards
    Boholdt

  • Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

    On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
    She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
    The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
    Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
    Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
    Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
    But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC.  It is not on my PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1.  It is named Adobe Reader XI.
    I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
    But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
    I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message.  As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there.   I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now.  Problem solved.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded.  Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

    When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page.  The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed.  Is there a patch for this problem?

  • Cant open PDF files. Cant open Adobe Reader x

    Hi, I am running windows xp pro. I am having trouble opening PDF files and I cant open adobe reader x. I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled. I have stoped all antivirus services.

    Could you please elaborate a bit more as to what happens when you open a PDF. Do you get some sort of an error or dialog? If so, please post the contents of the same.
    Also, please let me know the version of Reader installed on your system. You can find the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.

  • Deleting/removing offline PDF files in the iPad Adobe Reader app

    Whenever I open a file from the Acrobat.com cloud in the iPad's Adobe Reader app, a local copy is saved which I can read even when not connected to the internet. This is intentional by Adobe, and allows me to read PDFs offline, which is great. My question is, if an offline copy of every PDF I open is saved on the iPad, it will soon run out of disk space. Is there any way that I can delete/remove a specific offline PDF in order to free up disk space? I understand that this would mean that I would not be able to read that file offline anymore until I reconnect to the Acrobat.com cloud and reopen the document from the cloud. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for reproting the issue. You are right Adobe Reader saves a local copy whenever you opens a file from Acrobat.com. But there is a limitaion to the number of files it saves locally. So whenever the number of files opened from Acrobat.com reaches that value, it removes the first file opened from acrobat.com from its local memory and so on. So there is no chance of running out of memory.
    Secondly, if you want to remove the locally saved files then you can just sign out from Acrobat.com and sign in again. In this case it will remove all the files saved locally. Then you have to download them again to view.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Ankit

  • Can I delete the PDF file's content in Adobe Reader plug-in?

    The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.

  • Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
    Two error messages appear:
    1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
    2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
    I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
    Thank you for your advice

    Hi Pat,
    Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
    I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
    Thank you anyway for your advice!
