Problem placing window on top of adobe reader window

I am using window 7 and adobe reader . When ever I drag a window on top of adobe, it seems to push the window away. The window that I wanted to drag on top of adobe will snap back to a place close to the orgiinal local but it does not got back to exactly the same location. This does not happen with any of the microsoft office windwos like word or excel. I can drap another window on top of excel with no problem. Is there any way to fix this?

Minimizing the Adobe Reader works, but many times I need that document for reference while working. It is paintful to have to minimize ever time I need to move a window. Has anyone seen this problem. Ideally, I like to find out what the underlining issue is and fix that.

Adobe reader window resize problem on Vista 64 bits

I would like to react to this post:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c062469
When I resize an adobe reader window the text body in the window does not follow. By accident I have noticed that pressing F4 (show and hide Navigation Pane) twice solves this.
Is there a solution, so I don't need to press F4 twice?
thank you!

History notice: Problem still reproducing with Adobe Reader 9.5.4 on Ubuntu 13.04 (April 2013).
Solution: The fix is to simply add the 32 bit version of the missing library. To be sure that you get them all consisstently, just:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Note: Solution seen on this article from the judsonsnotes.com website.

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

Problem placing buttons on top of a background image

My knowledge of Java isn't the greatest and I am currently having problems placing buttons on top of a background image within a JApplet (this is also my first encounter with Applets).
I'm using a Card Layout in order to display a series of different screens upon request.
The first card is used as a Splash Screen which is displayed for 5 seconds before changing to the Main Menu card.
When the Main Menu card is called the background image is not shown but the button is.
While the Applet is running no errors are shown in the console.
Full source code can be seen below;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.net.*;
// First extend JApplet

1) When posting here, please use fewer comments. The comments that you have don't help folks who know Java read and understand your program and in fact hinder this ability, which makes it less likely that someone will in fact read your code and help you -- something you definitely don't want to have happen! Instead, strive to make your variable and method names as logical and self-commenting as possible, and use comments judiciously and a bit more sparingly.
2) Try to use more methods and even classes to "divide and conquer".
3) To create a panel with a background image that can hold buttons and such, you should create an object that overrides JPanel and has a paintComponent override method within it that draws your image using the graphics object's drawImage(...) method
For instance:
an image jpanel:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class BackgroundImage
    // **** this will have to be changed for your program:
    private static final String IMAGE_PATH = "../../m02/a/images/Forest.jpg";
    private BufferedImage myImage = null;
    private JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel()
        @Override
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        {   // *** here is where I draw my image
            super.paintComponent(g); // **** don't forget this!
            if (myImage != null)
                g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, this);
    public BackgroundImage()
        imagePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 450));
        imagePanel.add(new JButton("Foobars Rule!"));
        try
            myImage = createImage(IMAGE_PATH);
        catch (IOException e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        catch (URISyntaxException e)
            e.printStackTrace();
    private BufferedImage createImage(String path) throws IOException,
            URISyntaxException
        URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(path);
        if (imageURL != null)
            return ImageIO.read(new File(imageURL.toURI()));
        else
            return null;
    public JPanel getImagePanel()
        return imagePanel;
}and an applet that uses it:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class BackgrndImageApplet extends JApplet
    @Override
    public void init()
        try
            SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
                @Override
                public void run()
                    getContentPane().add(new BackgroundImage().getImagePanel());
        catch (InterruptedException e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        catch (InvocationTargetException e)
            e.printStackTrace();
}

Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to
my default printer. With Reader X windows waits patiently for me to close Reader before printing each file.

Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints - repeat - loop.
Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

Open Adobe Reader window in BSP

Hello,
From our BSP application, I was able to generate PDF form and open a Adobe reader window with the form in it, but after the reader window open, I lose the control for oringal BSP application, the IE windows of BSP application is hanging there, without any response.
Thanks in advance for help! Here is my implementation:
1) Our BSP application is within CRM IC framework (based on BSP)
2) I created a new BSP page with flow logic with MIME type application/pdf
3) A button trigger page navigation from default.do to new BSP page
4) In OnInitialization event of new BSP page: I code to generate PDF form and open the PDF window:
call method response->set_content_type
    EXPORTING
      content_type = 'application/pdf'.
response->set_header_field(
                    name = 'content-disposition'
                    value = 'attachment; filename=Act_Printing.pdf' ).
finally display PDF format in Browser
l_pdf_len = xstrlen( l_xstring ).
response->set_data( data   = output-pdf
                               length = l_pdf_len ).
***Up to now: a new adobe reader window is opened , but the oringal BSP window lose the control.
If I add extra code to navigate to default.do as below, I did get control of the BSP window BUT the adobe reader window does not open at all:
Navigate to default.do
navigation->next_page( 'BACK_TO_CONTROL' ).
navigation->next_page( 'BACK_TO_CONTROL' ).

Thanks Durairaj !
I tried navigation->response_complete( ), but it does not change the system behaviour, the same problem is still there.
Any idea?

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window

Hi,
I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.
Language C#
Adobe Reader 10.0
Here´s some Code:
public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.Start();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
proc.WaitForInputIdle();
proc.Kill();
It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.
Is there another way to hide the Window ?
Regards

Hi,
I am developing an application, which have to support a PDF print. My result after searching for the best possibilities is this snippet:
public static void PrintPDF(string path, string printer)
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
process.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerName + "\"";
process.Start();
// I have to use this in case of Adobe Reader to close the window
process.WaitForInputIdle();
process.Kill();
This is the most generic solution - it prints a pdf unless no matter wich reader is installed.
Only deficit - the Adobe Reader window still pops up. Why it does not behave like it´s alternatives (for example Foxit Reader) and print the PDF without popping up ?
Regards

Problematikk: Adobe Reader/ Windows 8 med skjermstørrelse 11.7

Hei forum! Jeg skriver dette på norsk og håper at det går bra.Da jeg lastet ned Adobe Reader til min Windows 8 LapTop med skjermstørrelse 11.8 opplevet jeg at Adobes vindu for å eksportere mitt OpenOffice-dokument til PDF-format er for stort for min skjermstørrelse på 11.7.Med dette mener jeg at "Eksporter"-knappen kommer nedenfor skrivebordsvinduet på dataskjermen og derfor er utenfor min rekkevidde. Jeg får ikke lagret/eksportert dokumenter til PDF - format. Hvordan løser jeg dette problemet? Er det noen som kjenner til en løsning ?
På forhånd takk for svar. PDF-format er noe jkeg bruker ofte.
Hilsen Elise

My computer is infected with Adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. Reader wasn't the problem. So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know. It's actually getting worse.

Hi frostedinsilver,
I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
