PDF files opening and closing slowly in Acrobat version 9.5.2.

I am running Acrobat 9.5.2. Last week our server died at work and we converted to a new one. Since then pdf files have been opening and closing very slowly, sometimes taking 15+ seconds to close. Strangely enough, if you open and close several in a row then they usually open and close quickly with some exceptions, but if you wait 10+ seconds and then try to open or close one it takes forever. This happens whether or not the machine is connected to the server.
I tried to do a repair, however it said that it could not connect to the my documents folder at the old server location. When I originally installed Acrobat, it was done through my University and not while I was even connected to my work server, so that is confusing to me. Please help, as I use pdf's constantly and this is really slowing me down.

It doesn't seem like an Acrobat problem per se but a problem with they way your computer is configured to reach the new server. Perhaps you need to have someone come and look at how your computer is configured to reach the new server. It could also be a problem with how the university configured their server. Server issues are something that cannot easily to diagnosed remotely.

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

Ipod generation 1 apps opening and closing instantly with software version

I have a Ipod Touch generation 1 and have just downloaded version 3.1.3 upgrading from 1.1.5. I am now having a problem with all the apps that I have downloaded from the App store through the IPOD. The apps are opening and closing instantly.
Any comments?
Thank you for any advise and or help!

By a reset, I believe he is referring to holding down the Home button and the Sleep button both at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the "slide to power off" option that might come up. This process generally takes about 5-15 seconds to see the logo, then about another minute or so after that for the reset to complete.
Now, as for the issue you are seeing, if the reset doesn't resolve it, it might be the same thing I have seen on other iPods. Almost all (if not all) I have seen with this problem have been when the owner unplugged the iPod from their computer before the sync process had fully completed. This seems to leave the iPod app directory structure in some "confused state". Every time I have seen this happen, I have been able to resolve the issue by deleting an app from the device, then re-downloading it using the App Store app on the iPod (while connected to a wifi network). To play it safe, I generally use a free app.
Don't ask me why, but the downloading of an app directly from the device itself seems to reset the iPod app structure and the other apps generally resume wirking properly...

Unable to create PDF files from any application in any Acrobat version

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me find a solution to a problem I am having creating PDF files.
I have searched the Internet for a solution to this problem and can't find any information that helps me.
I am running OSX 10.8.5 on a 2.5 GHZ Intel i5 Mac Laptop
I cannot create PDFs from any program, Quark, Word, ect.
When I try to print to the PDF printer, the printer pauses when it tries to open the Distiller. When I click resume, it pauses itself again.
I have tried to save the document and create the PDF from within the distiller itself and get this error log:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I was originally using Acrobat 8, But I installed the trial version of Acrobat 11 and it has the same problem.
The problem seems to be something to do with the distiller. I have a lot of Adobe software so I am trying to avoid a clean/re-install of Adobe software but will do it as a last resort.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Acrobat X Pro quits after a few seconds of having a PDF file open, and brings me to the Software Agreement screen

It's a cycle: open Acrobat > 5 seconds later Acrobat quits with no warning > license agreement page opens > I click Accept > Acrobat opens > Acrobat quits without warning ... repeat.
I have Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.13. I have Mac OS X 10.9.5.
Very frustrating.
I have Production Premium CS6 too.
I tried deleting the com Adobe files in Preferences under both Library and ~/Library, as a chat support tech recommended, as well as deactivating CS6, but this does not fix the problem.
Please help!

Hello Alon Hafri,
Could you please try installing Creative Suite from a new user account.
Sometimes, a user account gets corrupt and prevents installer from accessing the required files.
Please create a new account with administrative privileges, log in to it and run the installer.
Now check and let me know.

After opening and closing 19-20 PDFs in 8.1.6 Acrobat stops working

I have just started getting Acrobat errors '..has stopped working' after opening 19-20 PDFs (individually opening and closing each separately) which causes Acrobat to stop working and displaying PDFs, even any of the 19-20 PDFs, that opened fine beforehand, stop opening. Only by restarting Windows, does it seem to clear this error. I have maintained my updates and patches, on both my Acrobat Professional and Reader 8.1.6.
I am Running Windows XP SP2, with 4Gbs or Memory, and no other programs except for my MS outlook 2007 running. I have MS Office 2007 Professional installed. Something also from Acrobat is interferring with Outlook. Is there an add-on, automatically installed in Outlook for PDF previews? I suspect it might have something to do with the aspect of Acrobat causing the errors and crashing of Acrobat, but I am only guessing. I have also run Antivrus scans on all my PDFs and found no problems with them.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your suggestion. I did uninstall both, and reinstall Pro, and restarted my system. However, that did not solve my problem. Thank you though.
Sincerely
John M. Shaw

Why, when I have two PDF file open, is one document faded out?

Hi All
I was wondering if someone out there could maybe help me?
I’m having problems with opening documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I have one PDF file open and I open another one, the one opened later has kind of a grey/black film making it difficult to read.
I was wondering if maybe anybody out there has had similar problem? Or maybe you know what can cause this?
Thank you in advance
Pete

Which version of Acrobat and which version of Windows do you have?

Captivate 4: linked pdf file opens when published but closes project

I have linked a couple of pdf files (Live Cycle) to an Adobe Cap 4 project. When I published the Captivate file the pdf file opens and works well but once the user closes the pdf file to contine to the next slide the project closes. Does anyone know how I can correct this? (it works fine in preview but not when published) Thanks!

Hi there
How exactly are you opening the PDF? If you just linked to it without choosing the "New Window" option it will replace the Captivate project in the browser window.
Perhaps you should examine the configuration of whatever is triggering the opening of the PDF. You should also review the information provided at the link below.

Combine supported files is not automatically opening and closing source applications?

On my Vista 64 machine, suddenly, the "Combine supported files in Acrobat" has begun malfunctioning. Instead of automatically opening and closing the source application (such as MS Word), Acrobat opens the application and then asks to save a new PDF file for each source file and stalls out the conversion. This problem is not happening on my Win XP machine. I have used the 'Repair Acrobat Installation' function but the problem is not corrected.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just to close out this thread, the bug was fixed with the latest version of Acrobat Pro Extended (9.3.3).

When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each

when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each page again?

Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.

Pdf files opening in acrobat but not ie

hello all, i'm having a problem opening pdf files in internet explorer instead of acrobat 9. the "Display PDF in browser" box is checked under Edit > Preferences... and i've opened regedit and watched as bBrowserIntegration registry key is deleted and re-written while checking and unchecking that box. i've tried a complete uninstall/re-install of acrobat twice, once running ccleaner after uninstalling to clear unused registry keys. this problem is localized to that particular user. logging them off and logging on with a local account, pdf files from the internet open just fine with ie8. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Adobe recommends against have different versions of the same application installed at the same time. They also discourage having Reader and Acorbat installed at the same time. I would install version 6 and repair or reinstall version 9.

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application). Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
Thanks in advance

One thing worth to check out: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

When I try to open a pdf file I get an error message stating "There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Other pdf files open fine.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

PDF files open in colorsync and can't be printed

In the last couple of weeks any downloaded PDF files open in Colorsync instead of Preview. I can't print them from Colorsync. I have repaied premissions. I don't know enough about computers to toss preferences, and I'm not sure which file to toss anyhow. It sort of feel like I've "lost" Preview, although the file is still on my hard drive. I appreciate any help any of you guys can give me in advance.
Mike Ryan

Thomas:
If I look for Preview in "find" it goes HD>Applications>Xcode tools>Preview.pkg. I Went through an install routine and then tried to open a PDF file using control/click. That lists the default program as Colorsync with option of Virex, Safari, Epson (scanner) or "other." If I select "other," and then "applications," I can't find Preview. I guess I just don't understand these applications very well. Preview used to open everytime I downloaded a PDDF file. thanks for trying to help. I guess I can always call Apple.
