Problem with new adobe PDF download

downloaded new firefox month or so ago with all the other adobe downloads. Had a prob with the Adobe Acrobat PDF plug in. I could not open any of my Pdf files on my comp, they would flash open then close in a second, tried everything I could think off. I removed the new Adobe and went back to AdobeAcrobat 10.1.4 plug in and everything worked fine again. There was an update for Adobe flash the other day, so updated it also updated the above plug in again and I had same prob so had to uninstall it & go back to old one but flash keep crashing and going slow. My system is Windows XP 2002 I have had more memory put in couple years ago.

Were you trying to open them using File > Open from within Firefox? I think it would be easier to open them directly in Adobe Reader.
Was the problem the Adobe Reader 10.1.7 update, or Adobe Reader 11.0.03? To try out the one that DIDN'T cause trouble (for security reasons):
* To get the 10.1.7 update, you can use the Help > Check for Updates menu in Adobe Reader.
* To get 11.0.03, you can download the new installer from Adobe: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

    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.

  • Problem with new Adobe 9 update

    I updated my Adobe 9 today and now Safari is having problems loading, downloading, and printing documents. However, if I rightclick the PDF link and choose "Download Linked File," the document downloads fine. Any ideas about fixing the problem? Thanks.

    This is NOT a solution, but it is the cause of the problem.  You have to disable "Allow fast web view."  To do so, open Adobe Reader and click Edit -> Preferences -> Internet and then uncheck "Allow fast web view."  I had to do this on both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.  What that means is the PDF won't display until it's done downloading.  However, I've been fighting this problem all day thinking it was a problem with one of our PDFs, and no, it's a problem with Chrome/Safari (Apple Web Kit) and Reader. 
    Software versions are below.  I hope it helps!
    Chrome 5.0.375.99

  • Problem with opening adobe pdf page in Firefox 4 b10

    The pdf pages do not display in the correct colours and when scrolling sections seem to dissapear as if there is masking taking place.
    If you print the document then the pages come out correctly.
    Is there a fix for this or would it be better to go back to an earlier version.

    For us luddites, could someone post instructions on how to disable PDF Downloader in Firefox 4? Thank you!

  • Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

    Using a new PC with Windows 7.  Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found.  You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right."  Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4.  What next?  I appreciate the help.

    I have a disc in the same box  that says CS3.  I thought that was an older version.  Should I try installing that disc first?  It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help.  I appreciate it.

  • Problem with saving a pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21).

    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.

  • 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

  • Problems with syncing  Adobe Ideas with Adobe Creative Cloud

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Since yesterday (22.04.2014) I have problems with syncing Adobe Ideas (in my iPad) with Adobe Creative Cloud.
    Could you please help me with this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I do not understand why there is no professional communication about the problem. I get the impression that Adobe doesn't know that many people use their App as advertised: As a quick professional sketching tool that syncs with Creative Cloud. Not to fix the problem means more people not trusting the cloud idea. I am actually a big fan of the CC, mostly because of regular updates. But the mobile apps seem to fall out of the normal update scheme. Are they not as important as the 'main software'?
    When will the bug be fixed? Just to make clear: As there - up to now - is no other way to get the original idea files on the computer the adobe idea app is useless unless you fix the problem and/ or include the possibility to sync files via USB.
    Meanwhile my Workaround:
    You need Phoneview or another software that shows the files on your mobile device.
    Open it - choose "Apps" - click on "Show all Apps" - click on "Adobe Ideas"
    Than go to:
    Library/Private Documents/documents/data/files/
    there you find folders with cryptic names
    Download one of the folders
    Open the Folder
    select all files in the folder and zip them
    Change the extension from .zip to .idea
    and voila
    you can open it with Adobe Illustrator!
    A long way, but for now the only solution to get the editable vector file on your computer.
    Best regards
    Jo Jacobs

  • 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?

  • 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.
