Pencast PDFs and Android Adobe Reader X

I create pencast PDFs using a (Livescribe) Smartpen and want to play them on my Android phone. (I am trying to avoid using the pencast playback app for mobile devices as it is quite restrictive)
I'm told that all that is needed to replay pencast PDFs is Adobe Reader X.
I have installed Adobe Reader for Android (Reader X v10.2.1) and can open the PDFs and see them, but not 'replay' them - that is not play them back with video and audio as would normally be the case in these types of PDFs. The same PDFs replay ok on Windows etc.
Any suggestions?.

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:

Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Saving fillable PDF file in Android Adobe Reader Mobile Application

I'll do my best to explain my situation.
1. I open the fill-able PDF file from Google Drive with Android Adobe Reader Mobile Application.
2. I fill out the pdf form using the Android Adobe Reader Mobile Application.
3. Once I'm done filling-in the PDF, I would like to save the file in a specific folder in Google Drive.
I cannot find any saving option within the Android Adobe Reader Mobile Application.
The only way around saving was the "Sharing" feature. It allows the user to share the pdf file using various android applications such as Google Drive, Email, and Evernote to share the file.
This does not allow for overwriting of the original file. Therefore, you will create a new file every time you share the file.
I wanted to know if there was a way to save the file under the same name to overwrite the same file in the Android Mobile version.
Thanks in advance.

You need to duplicate(and/or rename) it first (after finding it in the "Documents" menu tab), then fill it out. This is the workaround for the missing Save/Save as menu. Once you fill out something, and leave the application, the document will be saved automatically.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?

I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
from the manifest:
<provider
    android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
And then, in a method, I do this:
File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
    String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
    context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
openPDF(context, uri);
public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
    context.startActivity(i);
Thanks for the help.

Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader".

Android Adobe Reader - Arabic support

Android Adobe Reader - Arabic support
Dear Support,
I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.
Software link:
Adobe Reader - Android Apps on Google Play

Please try the Adobe Reader Android forum.
You might find that this is a limitation in either the software or the file. Some Arabic files are written left-to-right internally, and look right but are backwards in each line.

Android Adobe Reader 11.2.1 has bookmark icon, what does it accomplish?

1. Is there an instruction manual for 11.2.1 Android Adobe Reader?
If there was a manual I wouldn't have to ask this question in this forum.
I have looked and looked for a manual and I have concluded I will find the Holy Grail before I find a manual.
2. The app has a little tiny bookmark icon at the top.
I can press it and it says in a momentary window at the bottom, that a bookmark was added for that page.
Hooray, I have added a bookmark.
No surely there must be some way to get back to that bookmarked page quickly. Otherwise, what was the point?
As I scroll through the page that bookmark icon has a barely visible check sign when I am at an already bookmarked page.
As I read the document the menus at the top and bottom go gray after some number of seconds
and that bookmark icon disappears so the check mark is not visible. Though as small as it is it's essentially un-useful
except to tell me that I have already placed a bookmark at the page I am currently viewing.
It appears that once I have used that icon to add a bookmark there is nothing else I can do with that bookmark.
I have found no way to view a list of bookmarks.
I have found no way to quickly navigate back to that bookmark.
All I can do is touch the area at the top and bottom so as to display those
top and bottom menus and then observe whether that tiny little icon has an even tinier check mark in it or not.
Surely there must be something else I can do with a bookmark.
Why else would Adobe bother to actually write software for such a function if there wasn't anything to use it for?
Or perhaps this is an experimental new feature that hasn't been completed?
Again, a manual that explained how to use this software would be useful.
And if the function is experimental and not yet fully functional I am sure a good manual would point that out.

To see the Help documentation in Adobe Reader for Android,
Go to the Reader home screen.
Tap Help in the left pane.
Tap "How To..." in the right pane.
Tap "Navigate and find content".

Print quality from Android Adobe Reader

Hello
Last night I decided to print a PDF attachment from my phone using Cloud Print. I have an Epson ink jet printer connected to my Windows 7 computer. When I tried, I was disappointed to find that the document printed in draft mode and was not of sufficient quality to use so ended up printing from the Windows Adobe Reader. If I were to print an email from Gmail on my phone, I do not have this problem. Draft mode is not the default setting for my printer driver. Is there any way to set the print quality for the Android Adobe Reader or for it to use the default setting for the printer?
Thank you.

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

Opening .pdf files with Adobe Reader?

Hello everyone
I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) and was using Adobe Reader 10 X but found I was unable to read my older .pdf files by double-clicking them as the wrong program's icon was linked to them. No problem I thought so I right clicked on a .pdf file and tried using the open with but the 2 programs listed in the default were both wrong and not Adobe Reader plus the 16 alternates underneath, none of which were reader either. No matter I thought so I used browse and sent myself to C:\Program Files (x86)\AdobeReader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe and pressed ok but it still didn't enter the list! Weird.
Spent some hours trying to find a solution by searching a popular search engine (yes the G one lol) and I managed to find a couple mentioning fiddling around with the registery which I was hesitant about but eventually did and now the only difference is that the 2 default programs previously listed had now gone but the other 16 are still there (still none for Adobe Reader!) and still browsing/adding doesn't work.
I have now just about reached the stage where I'm ready to pull my hair out in frustration. Can anyone help/advise with this please? I don't understand it at all. I have now gone back and am currently using Reader 9.4.3, although it still won't show up on the "open with" list etc.
One last thing and this is strange (to me at least) but if I open Adobe Reader and then use its "open" feature to open one of the same aforementioned .pdf files, it opens it just fine. It's when trying to open the file(s) directly by double clicking them or using open or open with that's causing the problem.
Thank you in anticipation
Nick

You can try the following:
right click on the item you want to open.
Then select open with: then select default program.
Then you browse to your new Adobe Reader executable, and set the always use this program checkbox.
should do the trick.

Mas
