Reader 11.0.09 slow opening network files

I have several users that are experiencing slow times opening .PDF's located on a network drive. For users effected a single .PDF can take up to 45 seconds to open. If opened locally issue is not present. To temporarily fix this issue I have had to install version 9.0, but I would like to have them on the updated version for security purposes. All systems are Win7 - 32bit, 8 gigs memory, with different models of Dell laptops and desktops. I have read through all forums that I can find regarding this issue and found no resolution. I have performed the following on systems with issue.
1. disable "Tool" bar
2. disable "Enhanced Security" features
3. applied all "Windows Updates"
4. switched between SMB 2.0 and SMB 3.0
5. removed and re-installed "Reader", version 11.0.09 and 11.0.08 - issue is still present

This issue comes out of two things I can see from our last deployment of 11.0.09.
bEnableAcrobatHS needs to be disabled you can do this via registry or using Adobe's packaging tools. The key below needs to be set to a value of "0" zero. this will shut off the desired options.

Illustrator CC 2014 slow opening networked files on some PC's

Have 6 PC's running CC 2014. 5 Win 7 Pro 64, one Home 32. Two weeks ago two of the pro 64 PC's are pausing for 20 seconds opening or saving illustrator files of any size on the network (Server 2008 R2). No issues with any other programs or any of the other PC's. Opening the same file saved on the local HDD is fine. This started I believe after some MS updates about two weeks ago.
Watching the network packets/sec graph selecting the file to open on the network there will be almost no data transfer for 15 seconds then it shoots up and opens even a 15mb file in 1 second. All PC's received the MS updates and I cant figure out why its happening on only two machines. Happens whether opening in explorer on the mapped drive, opening from the file-open menu or opening by browsing the network instead of through the mapped drive.
Everything else is fine, even copying the file takes half a second, its just opening over the network on these two machines.

Porkkana,
Concerning files from network, it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html
Concerning the other issues, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Slow opening of files on DFS

I built a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 VM server, installed DFS and created a namespace. I then added a folder and moved data from a CIFS share that was near capacity to free up space. Everything I have mentioned so far was just to alevaite the fact that
the CIFS share was almost full. I built this server as a temp solution until I got the hardware in to build a new dedicated server for DFS/Storage. I have built the new Windows 2008 R2 SP1 physical server and also made it a namespace server.
The performance of this server is
Phenomenal. All the storage is local to the box as I am trying to consolidate all the shares around the network. I replicated the share from the temp server to the new server and removed the referral from the old server. I then copied
a few new shares over to the new server and added a folder for each (no replication for these). I then moved the home drives to DFS. Everything has been going well for a few weeks. Yesterday users started reporting slow opening of files,
specifically Excel and Word but I noticed PDFs opened slow also. This issue currently only affects Windows 7 users but only a handful. The nic, cpu and memory on the physical server have very low utilization. I have been unable to isolate
the exact issue but if I point the users to the
\\server\share, the files open VERY fast. I did notice that when I right-clicked on a mapped DFS drive, the DFS tab showed the status as Unreachable. I flushed the cache on the client and it went to OKay but file opening is still slow.
After some testing it appears to take almost exactly 50 seconds to open a file every time. I am going to be away from the office for a few days so I went ahead and changed all the DFS mapped drives to point to
\\server\share for now as I will not get it resolved before i leave. I also scoured the internet for resolutions and looked at all the related topics that were presented when I typed the title of this thread.
I installed DFSUTIL on a few of the Windows 7 computers experiencing the slowness and the referrals look good. Every test through DFSUTIL looks fine.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I found the self-inflicted issue. I have a dedicated DFS NameSpace server with 66TB of storage. The drive that has this attached storage has a folder I created call DFS where all the new DFS folders are pointed. At this point I should have
reviewed the drive permissions closer. The default permissions on the drive includes the local USERS group which has special permissions. The first few shares I moved over already had authenticated users - Modify so all was well. I then moved
the home folders over and relaized that the local users allowed everyone to view everyone elses home drive. In a kneejerk reaction I removed the USERS group from the root of the drive which no longer allowed users to access the
\\domain.com\namespace because the DFSRoots folder is also on the same drive. I guess that since they didnt have access they eventually defaulted back to
\\servername\namespace which caused the delay???
I added the permissions back under the namespace folder and only applied to that folder. Users can now access the namespace quickly. At this point I am not sure what the permissions should be for the root drive. So now my question is:
1. If I am doing to dedicate a drive to DFS, what should the root permissions be on the drive? The drive will contain a folder E:\DFS as a root folder for all the shares and another folder named E:\DFSRoots (created by DFS with the default drive
changed from C: to E:) which will obvioulsy hold the namespace.
2. If a user would lose permissions to the dfs namespace (as they did in my case) how were they eventually able to access the file after the 50 second delay?
Thanks

SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 - cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas?

SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Thank you Pat!!!

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

Office 2010 - Opening Network Files causes crashes

Our users documents are mapped to network storage via a Home folder location. Our treasurer has began encountering an issue with Office 2010 with Word (this is where I've been putting most of my effort) and Excel, other programs not tested.
Upon going to 'File->Open' it automatically redirects to his Home folder on the Network drive, and Office goes through it's various stages of crashing (encountered an issue, etc.) I've copied the contents of one specific folder he does most of his work in
to his desktop, but this is not optimal. Opening the contents from the desktop yields no issue.
As far as troubleshooting goes, I first tried doing a repair, then reinstall, and finally an advanced uninstall with Revo figuring it may be a corrupted registry key. None of this worked. I Googled some info on it and found add-ons commonly caused an issue.
I went as far as recommended by a MS support article, ultimately removing both the entire add-ins folder in Program files and in the registry. Still an issue. I progressed through various other support articles, removing various further keys (settings, toolbars,
etc.) Still occurring. I landed upon a technet article with nearly an exact issue, and it recommended updating as MS had fixed this various issue. (duh!) Update-wise, it was pretty far behind because all of our updates are signed through SCCM, regardless,
I have it fully updated up to Office Service pack 2. It's doing selective startups through msconfig as well, down to only Microsoft services. Finally, I've tried sfc /scannow, as well as safe mode, and neither had promising results (it was the first time I
was really hoping for sfc to find an error!
Just for further reference, I've tried all fixes in this article (before realizing it was only on network docs.) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541/en-us

Slow opening of files

When I open a raw file the first time I open CS5, it takes about 30 seconds. Subsequent files are quick. Has anyone had this problem?

From memory I believe there were a few things that changed, both in Windows 7 and Office 2010 that can have an impact on the time taken to open a document over a network connection. They mostly relate to additional protections designed to scan the document
for anything dodgy before opening, but in the case of Office, since it does the scan over the network it takes longer to open a network document than older versions, or than opening it locally.
There's a long thread discussing this here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/46c082ad-2455-4120-beea-c69ff2219ed9/word-2010-slow-opening-files-on-network-share?forum=officeitproprevious which is worth a look. There are several things which may cause this (depending on your
setup), so hard to judge what it might be in your case.
Since you say that copying the files over the network works correctly this sounds like the issue. Presumably once on the local machine you also don't see any speed issues opening the documents on the newer setups?

Adobe Reader 9.1 Won't Open Some Files

Updated to Adobe Reader 9.1 and some web-based files will not open. I receive a blank page with the message "The system cannot find the file specified." Is there a solution or setting for this?

Office won't open network files

As of last week when I open a file, for example .xlsx, Excel will open but only to the default start screen displaying recent documents and templates. If i try again excel will shut down and reopen to the start screen.
If I move the file to my local machine It will one without a problem.
I have reinstalled office, then repaired it (via control panel >> programs and features >> change) using both repair options.
At the same time this first happened "office document cache" played up and jammed my machine (multiple instances of the programme continually opening). I seem to have fixed this by "repairing" office (uninstall/reinstall of Office
didn't work).
I have win 8.1 the network server is win 7 with a homegroup and 3-5 members.

Hi,
Does this issue happen to any other members? Please first check that the user logo on has the enough permission to access the network files.
Also, please take a look at this thread which discussed a similar issue, see if the workaround there works for you.

Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly. When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open. Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem? (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Since upgrading to 3.6.15 and Adobe Reader X I can't open PDF files

If I try and open a PDF file get message saying problem with Adobe reader, if it is running exit and try again. However it is not running. I then get a blank screen. If I close FF next time I try to open it a message says FF is already running and I have to reboot to clear the problem. This happens on both my desktop running XP and my laptop running Vista but only since I upgraded to 3.6.15. I upgraded Adobe to Ver X a week ago and it worked fine until the latest FF update.
The problem doesn't happen in IE.

The same as all other Mac apps. Which is to say:
Open Finder.
Look in the left column for Applications.
Click to open.
Find Adobe Reader. Open a folder if needed.
Double click to launch Adobe Reader.

Fireworks super slow opening pdf files

I am opening the first page of a bunch of pdf files and then batching them into thumbnails. This is relatively quick when I do it on my laptop but when I try and do this on my desktop, it almost takes 20 minutes per file to open. I can open these same files in photoshop in about 5 seconds.
Any ideas why Fireworks on one machine would be slower? Same version my desktop has a little more RAM so it should be faster if anything. Rebooted the computer and still super slow without any other apps running.

Reader X is blocked when open pdf file via click on file name

I have installed Reader X 10.0.0 (10.0.0.407) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.1 (9.4.0195.) on a Desktop and a Notebook (Win XP SP3).
In the case I click on a PDF file on both systems often (but not in any case, found no rule until yet ...) following happens:
- Click on PDF file (in file list of TotalCommader or Copernic Desktob Search)
- Reader X opens
- Document area gets white (not grey).
- Reader is blocked.
- I cannot braek this application - reboot is necessarry in any case (costs me lots of time).
Parallel to this behavieor I can open the same pdf document by Acrobat Pro without any problem.
This did never happen with Reader 9.4.1 - The reason must be Reader X.
Is this a known bug?
