Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

How do I save/download a PDF file as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
Why is this?
And how can I fix it?
I really need PDF files for school and work.

What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

How do I open a link in a pdf in iOS App Adobe Reader 11.6.4?

When I open a pdf in iOS App Adobe Reader 11.6.4 I cannot click on a link, the link is underlined but I have no possibility to choose that link. On a PC this link in the same PDF is functioning correctly.

Michael,
Your form is a special type of form called a "static XFA form" (typically authored with Adobe LiveCycle Designer).
The "links" in the static XFA form are actually buttons (form fields) that act like hyperlinks.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support static (or dynamic) XFA forms. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The static XFA buttons for web links did not work with any of the non-Adobe PDF viewers that I tried on my iPad, either. So the users who receive the static XFA form will experience the same problem on mobile devices.

Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

Hi all,
I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0. The operating system is XP SP3.
As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

Can I force the pdf to open in Adobe Reader?

<Captivate 7>
Hi,
In my lesson, I have a link that opens a pdf.
The pdf opens in the browser.
Is there any way to force it to open in Adobe Reader?
thanks!

Hi there
This is a question that is likely better suited for the forum supporting PDF reader. However, I seem to recall seeing something a year or four back that said this was a preference for each user. If that still holds true today, it would mean that you really have no control over it from the authoring end and machine A might open it and see it in the reader as you want, while machine B might open it and see it in the browser.
Hopefully others will share more light on this. Until then, I'd recommend using Google to search for opening PDFs from browser links.
Cheers... Rick

How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

Hi,
I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
Hope that helps,

All pdf's open with Adobe Reader 4

I have Acrobat 7 installed and every time I open a pdf document from IE6 it opens with Reader 4, but if I open Adobe Acrobat 7 first, all pdf's open correctly.

Adobe don't recommend having more than one Acrobat and/or Reader
installed. This is the sort of thing that happens, but if you want
both you have the solution: open the one you want to do the work,
before starting.

Pdf link dont work if document open in separate Acrobat window in internet explorer

Hi,
We have many pdf with different links between this pdf. The link type is "Open a file".
- If the fist pdf document is open from hard drive this links works perfectly.
- If the pdf document is open from the web site (http://website/doc1.pdf) and adobe reader is configured to open pdf in internet explorer it work also.
- But if the reader is configured to open pdf in a external window this link dont work. The link try to open the second pdf in c://Internet Temporary Folder/ as root instead of http://website/
Does anyone know a workaround ? I don't know if my customers have configured the reader to open in internet explorer or in a external windows...
Thanks for help !

If web browser integration is turned off, it really is turned off.
Adobe Reader simply becomes a "helper" application. The browser
downloads the file, puts it somewhere, and runs Adobe Reader. Adobe
Reader is not told anything special about the file and its origins, so
it cannot know that this was (before the download) a web file, or
where it came from.
A URL link might be the answer.

I hate this, now all pdf documents open with Adobe reader x

Until recently all pdf documents opened nicely with Adobe Acrobat which was installed with the creative suite CS5. Recently I had to update the Acrobat plugin for Firefox and I don't know what exactly was installed but somehow I ended up with Adobe Reader x on my computer and now when I open pdf documents from my hard drive they all open with an Adobe reader which I hate. How that reader managed to install and change my experience without me noticing? Now I have to change file associations. Do I need this reader and what is it for when I have a full version of Acrobat?
I will greatly appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, once Reader is installed, uninstalling it will require you to repair your Acrobat installation. You should be able to right click on a PDF and select Open With and set Acrobat as the default. Also, be sure that Reader is not part of the startup of Windows (you can use Start>Run>msconfig to check that) and also open current tasks (ctrl-alt-del) and be sure AcroRd32 or similar file is not running in the background. Be aware that AcroTray is part of Acrobat and is needed for PDF creation.

Adding Text to a PDF I opened in Adobe Reader

...my question sounds simple but I can't figure out what to do. I have some architect drawings that are PDFs. I need to add some text to them and then resave them as PDFs and I can't make this happen. I opened then in Photoshop Elements but it won't let me resave as a PDF, only as a JPEG, TIFF, PDD etc. Please help if you can. I have other Software like Microsoft Office and Desktop PDF but can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bruce

Yes. You could do it with Adobe Acrobat. There are a few different ways to do it depending on the results you want.
The best solution would be to edit the original files but if you don't have that option, Adobe Acrobat wold work.

PDF files opens in Adobe Reader 9 but not Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.
I can open the same PDF file with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
If I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
Happens to my administrator account as well.
Acrobat Pro 9 version: 9.4.1
Adobe Reader version: 9.4.1
Acrobat Pro 8 version: 8.2.5

IE 7
Acrobat Pro 9 has been completely uninstalled, the system rebooted, and the software reinstalled.

So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

Can Adobe Standard PDFs be opened in Adobe Reader?

I need to create a PDF where I can lock some areas of it and leave other areas open for others in our company to complete. What is the most basic Adobe that I can do this with - is it Standard?
Also if I have Adobe Standard can people with Adobe Reader open it? Can they edit it? (I am thinking not).
I can probably get the Standard software approved for myself as one person but thinking it would be too expensive for everyone else to get it as well.
Help! Is there an easy way to get my result???

What you seem to be describing is a "fillable" PDF that people can type on and fill in Adobe Reader - but not necessarily save, be sure you understand this limitation!!
"if I have Adobe Standard can people with Adobe Reader open it?" I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this, sorry.

I use adobe acrobat pro, why do existing pdf docs open in adobe reader?

How can I set all pdf docs to always open in acrobat pro vs adobe reader?

If you have both programs installed you can choose which one acts as the default by opening Preferences (in either of them) and on the General tab, click the "Set default PDF handler" button.

PDFs display correctly in Acrobat Pro, but not in Reader?

I receive files from printers for UV coating their jobs at our facility. On rare occasions the PDFs I receive display one way in Reader, and another way in Acrobat. Text that is missing--or showing up as faint outlines in Reader--displays correctly in Acrobat Pro. Then, when I go to RIP the file (and it is a PDF workflow), the text is missing there as well. We end up having to pay a service bureau to output a film positive, so it's a bit frustrating. I suspect it has something to do with transparency. I would appreciate any ideas from veteran prepress folks out there.

Change your preferences Edit > Preferences > Page Display Use Overprint Preview to Always.
These sound like Spot UV plates/colors and would be designed with Overprinting
Are you also looking at the Seperations/Output Preview? (Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview Simulate Overprint can also be toggled there.)

A checked checkbox is rendered as unchecked in default pdf viewer of firefox. It is checked when the pdf is opened with adobe.

I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
