Problem with customers reading .pdf e-book

Hello,
I've been sending out test versions of my ebook and a lot of people can't read them. It seems that they need the most recent version of Adobe Reader.      I have Adobe Reader 9. Has anyone else come across this problem? Do you include a link for an upgrade of Adobe Reader when you sell an E-book?
Thanks for any feedback,
Kidd in Paris

Check your preferences. You should probably save down to Version 5 to cover a wider customer base. Many don't really know to upgrade their Readers.

  • Problems with ios reading pdf

    Please help. Whenever I send a pdf form that I created in Acrobat x pro to a customer, they can see the background form, but not the content that i fill in on the form. What can i do to solve this.
    Thanks

    I uploaded a pdf-Portfolio with examples in Acrobat.com. The Portfolio contains
    a pdf generated directly by a scanner-software embedding jpeg2000-images with gentle jpeg2000-compression. The scanner is professional (costs more than 100 K$)
    a pdf/a 2b version file from the scanned pdf (1.). The pdf/a conversion was - by the way -  not done using Acrobat-Preflight, cause the process pdf/a 2b of Acrobat Preflight changes the greyscale images to RGB (why?).
    a pdf/a 2b with lossless jpeg2000 conversion of an uncompressed tif previously exported by Acrobat 10.1.3 (without problems) out of example 1. Also this pdf/a 2b is not created with Adobe Acrobat, cause batch clipping of tif-subfolders to one pdf for each folder is - unfortunately - not part yet of my Acrobat-Skills. I am still forced to use another tool for that one.
    Reproduce bug: Open the file with Adobe Acrobat 10.1.4.: Zoom the image to 150%, try to print, try to export the image as tif. Note: all the files or images are decoded correctly by 10.1.3., so that zooming, printing, exporting is working just fine.
    URL: https://acrobat.com/#d=1blaLcFPbb1YtodAThb3uw
    The document is now shared to public viewing.
    Help us: I guess that Billions of documents are stored with jpeg2000-compression, which is as far as I am concerned - a reasonable strategy for a good balance between storage costs and image quality. To read them and work on them, I personally still prefer Adobe products. Good luck!

  • Problem with Adobe Reader/Pdf?

    Any time a word comes up that has a apostrophe, it will change the word. For instance
    don’t becomes don’
    It’s becomes It’s
    doesn’t becomes doesn’t
    and so on and son. So anyone know what i can do about this? and yes i just downloaded the newest version of 9.3

    its only when i read stuff on this one website. I even tried  on a program called foxit reader and it did the same thing so it might be the site where im getting the pdf file from.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Trying to open PDF getting error message " there is a problem with Acrabat /Reader. Please exit Adob

    I have windows XP, when I am trying open PDF getting a error message " there is a problem with Acrabot /Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrabat/Reader Please try again'  It was working earlier today  HELP

    If all else fails, you can try one of 2 things (I will assume you are talking about Reader - though this is not the Reader forum). Use ctrl-alt-del to go to the task list. Kill AcroRd32.exe. Then try again. If that does not work, a reboot will probably solve the problem.

  • Problem with adobe reader, commenting

    one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
    should I save the pdf in another way?

    What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as -  reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
    Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
    Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
    You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J

    Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
    my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

  • Problem with printing a PDF

    Hi All,
    I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
    I have a problem with printing a PDF:
    I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
    with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
    Can anyone help me?
    I wish a great day to You all.

    Hi Ted Ueda,
    sorry for the delay of my answer.
    I understand very well the problems related to security.
    With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
    is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
    from RTF previously realized?
    ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
    String report = report path;
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
    Object reportSource = null;
    reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
    //The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
    //ConnectioInfos
    ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
    exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
    //Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
    //ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
    setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
    ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
    //Set the export format (PDF)
    exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
    exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
    exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
    exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
    try {
          exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
    } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
    throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }               
    As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
    I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
    I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
    "In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
    The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
    1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
    where
    /p = print
    /h = hide window
    to print the report and
    2)     tkill AcroRd32
    to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command  /h  is used just to minimize the process.
    I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

  • Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

    Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
    I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
    Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using  control panel programs uninstall.
    After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
    I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
    I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
    I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
    None of the above has helped.
    The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
    1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
    2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon.  All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
    I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
    I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
    Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
    I am so puzzled and frustrated.

    Thank you so much this did the trick.
    I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so  simple and clear.
    Regards

  • Problem with Adobe Reader and IE

    I'm using Vista Home Premium and IE9 with the latest Reader available.  Starting yesterday, I cannot read PDF files on the web.  This is a new problem.  I tried to download newer versions of IE and the Reader, but both tell me I've got the newest versions I can use.
    I have no problem with Firefox.  Just IE.  I prefer using IE.  Can someone guide me -- without using technical language.  Many thanks!!

    Thanks for your input.  I opened the standalone Adobe Reader X, clicked Edit, Preferences, Security, Advanced Preferences.  Then clicked each of the 3 tabs on top, but nothing looked like "Protected Mode."
    Then I went back and clicked Security (Enhanced) and unchecked Enable Enhanced Security.  Tested this change, but I still get the gray screen and messages:  "A problem has caused IE to close."  "A problem with this website has caused IE to close and re-open the tab."  I then went back and re-checked Enable Enhanced Security.
    I should mention that I have used this particular website for about 10 years and never had a problem.  But I now have the same problem with any online PDF that I try to open using IE.
    Can you think of anything else?  If not, here's my plan of attack.  Please let me know if you think it will work.
    1)  Copy over all my favorite sites from IE to Firefox.  (I've already started doing that.)
    2)  Uninstall IE and re-install it.
    3)  If I still have a problem, uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it.
    Do you think this will do the job if all else fails?
    Many, many thanks for the time you have put into this.

  • Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

    I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
    What can I do ?

    Hi,
    I have same requirement.
    I need to cnvert smartform->pdf->send mail.
    The mail is send but the attachment is corrupted.
    Can you tell me what code you have written so its working in developement?

  • Continued problems with Adobe Reader 9.3.1

    Adobe Reader stops at the half-way mark in the progress block when loading a form to print.  Cannot get this fixed. Does anyone out there have a fix for this.  Is Adobe even recognizing that there is a problem with this.  Error message keeps telling me that there is a problem with Adobe Reader, exit and try again.

    I haven't been able to print any .pdf files since I downloaded 9.3.
    My message says Internet Explorer has closed it down because of data executable files.  I've changed my DEF settings to allow
    Adobe Reader but it still doesn't work.  I never had any problems before with newer versions.

  • Problems with filling out PDF forms

    We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.
