PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!

Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader  9.4  but not in  adobe reader X.   Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
Does anybody else has this problem ?
I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.
Hans
PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4
Windows XP SP3

"Adobe Reader X doesn't support search catalogs created with Acrobat 5 or earlier.
    You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files.

  • Want: Adobe Reader with Firefox but not with Safari

    I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for awhile, but still use Safari at times. I use Adobe Reader to display PDFs within Firefox, and it is currently also used by Safari.
    I'd like to take advantage of Safari's new ability to natively display PDFs within the browser window without using Adobe Reader, but I want to continue to use Reader with Firefox.
    Does anybody know of a way to make this happen? It seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition since the same plug-in is used by both browsers.
    iBook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   It's white.

    well, you might try quitting safari & firefox, then moving the adobe plugin(s) from /hd/library/internet plug-ins/ to /applications/firefox.app/contents/plug-ins/ In finder, press Apple-shift-G & paste the italicised text above into the box - this will take you to the firefox plug-ins folder ( assuming you have firefox in the applications folder )
    then restart the browsers & see what happens
    Please note - I don't know that this will work, but it's easy to try & easy to revert back to normal - just quit the browsers again & move the plugin(s) back where they came from.
    I'll just test it with a different plug-in......

  • Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
    I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
    Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

    In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons.  Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?

  • Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
    Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

    Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

    I cannot log into Adobe Reader through my iphone using the Adobe ID and password which work on the website.

    Hi Will,
    That's great that you could sign in now.
    I think issue you faced in signing was because email verification was not done before. And when you signed from web client, you might have received a note asking you to do verification. It solved the logging issues you were facing on iPhone as well.

    This regards Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.07 running on Win 7. Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash, losing unsaved work. Windows Task Manager shows only a small percentage of cpu used and plenty of memory available. What is causing this?

    This usually occurs if you use a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • Adobe Reader XI - Save button not enabled in Firefox 19, 20, 21

    This problem only seems to occur in Firefox. IE9 and Chrome 20+ seem to behave properly. We have customers complaining that they are having a difficult time figuring out how to save PDF files from our scientific research web application. While, cntrl-shift-s and File->Save As are still available to them, they are confused that the "Save" icon that appears on the reader is greyed out.
    I had read the following blog post concerning the problem involving URLs with over 259 characters.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/page/3/
    While our URLs are long and they are cgi-based in format, they didn't quite make it to 259 characters.
    I took our code base and created a very short path-based URL, removing special characters, such as periods and hyphens from the file name, and making sure that the tail of the URL contained the name of the pdf file, and the save icon was still greyed out.
    Installing Adobe Reader 9.5, and 10.0.4 seemed to exhibit the same behavior in Firefox.
    Are there currently any known issues with how Adobe Reader behaves with Firefox?
    Are there any possible work-arounds?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
    I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
    I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
    This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
    It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
    There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?

  • Link works in Acrobat Std 8.0, Acrobat Reader 8.2, but not in Reader 9.0

    Hi. I also posted this in the Acrobat site:.  Perhaps this might be a more appropriate location?
    Hello.
    I faced a really strange thing today.  I created a report PDF through Xcelsius.  In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN.  The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0.  I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
    Details:
    Software used:  Xcelsius 2008 SP1
                           Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
                           Acrobat Reader 9.0
                           Acrobat Reader 8.2 (later)
    Link address:   file://G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
    Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
    Thank you!
    --- Update ---
    I later uninstalled Reader 9.0 and reinstalled Reader 8.2 and the link worked in Reader 8.2.  The link is a direct address and not a script.  The file is opened in IE 7 as a spreadsheet with Macros attached.  It is important for me that it works in both versions of Reader as there are several versions of Acrobat Reader deployed among our hospital -- Reader 7, 8, and 9.
    Can someone help shed some light on this, please?

    I think this is related to this other problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/567165?tstart=-1  .  This has appeared with current releases of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.  Adobe seems unresponsive.  We started seeing it this week in conjunction with Excelsius 4.5.  I have both Acrobat Pro 9.3 and Acrobat Reader 8 on my PC.  Pro blows up when I open the .pdf created by Excelsius, but Reader does fine.

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

  • Unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10

    We are unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10.
    The OS is Windows 7.
    Thanks for your help!

    Actually, my reply is clear as mud. I'll try again.
    If you link from H:\Drawings\System Drawings (Drawings by LOB's)\Network Services\Scada-Wan Drawings\_CAD Files
    to H:\Drawings\Site Dwgs\site name
    you will get a relative path of ..\..\..\..\..\Site Dwgs\site name.
    Clearly this will not work if you move the source file anywhere.
    You MUST do one of the following
    1. Force an abolute link by linking to a file on an entirely different disk.
    2. Maintain at all times the relative relationship between source and target (this doesn't necessarily mean working on live files, but requires COMPLETE coplies of development and live files, with links made within the development files only).

  • How can I load up some pdfFiles from adobe Reader on my iPad into my Adobe Creative Cloud?

    How can I load up some pdfFiles from adobe Reader on my iPad into my Adobe Creative Cloud?

    There is no app for uploading files from an iPad to the Adobe Creative Cloud, and the iPad security model does not allow for upload of files from the browser. The Adobe Touch Apps do provide syncing up to the Creative Cloud but none of them are really designed for working with pdf files.
    You can connect your iPad and move the files to your computer. From your computer you can upload the files via a web browser.
