Reader 5.0 incompatibility

I have Windows 7, have downloaded Reader 5.0 but found they are not compatible. Currenty I cannot open PDFs. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Adobe Reader 5.0 was released early 2001 - that was half a year before Windows XP!  Why your bank believes that you need such an old piece of software is incomprehensible.
Anyway, all Reader versions are backwards compatible; you should be able to view old PDF versions with the latest Adobe Reader.

  • Fear of Reader 8 backward incompatibility

    Hi, I´ve been using Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (spanish) without trouble. The PC has XP pro, pentium D, 1 gb, 80 gb.
    I want to try Reader 8.1.2 but when I look for my current Adobe Reader updates it only comes with updates for 7.0.9. Is it possible to install 8.1.2 in an independent work folder so I could have both versions (7 and 8)in order to try the new one while keeping the one that I know works fine? I tried to download the 8 version but the procedure did not give me the option of choosing the folder.
    Thanks ahead.

    We have a document posted at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/designer8_lc72.html that describes how Designer 8 should work with LiveCycle 7. Anything not in this document should be thought of as a bug and should be reported here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    With that said, we will change JavaScript behavior that we determine to be security risks.

  • Windows surface tablet. cannot open documents in reader

    the new software will not install.  i downloaded the new app,but i cannot close the dialogue page requesring i install the new 9.0 software. cannot get past thatage to view documents. help!

    Ah. I get it now. The screen capture did help a lot!  The PDF document that you are trying to open is called a "PDF portfolio", which is sort of like a package of multiple files.  The particular PDF portfolio was originally created with Acrobat 9.  So that's why it says "Acrobat or Adobe Reader 9, or later".
    But if your operating system is Windows RT, you will not be able to download and install the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader due to incompatibility.  So the button/link is useless.
    Can you at least bring up the top & bottom toolbars by swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen or right-click with a mouse?  Then, you can tap/click the Back arrow button in the top toolbar to close the document.  So you are not completely stuck.
    Unfortunately, because Adobe Reader Touch does not support PDF portfolios, it cannot show the actual contents inside the portfolio.  It only shows the "cover page".  PDF portfolios are not so common lately.  So I do not believe that you will encounter the same problem with different PDF documents too often.
    To view the PDF portfolio, you can use Adobe Reader for iOS/Android or Adobe Reader XI on a Windows desktop/laptop running the Windows 8 operating system, instead.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Compressing: iMovie to CD to multi-platform Adobe Reader...

    Any clear current codec/compression-app winners when it comes to creating QuickTime movies in iMovie for multi-platform distribution on CD? These will be viewed within Adobe Reader, and I AM aware of the Reader 7/QT7 incompatibility (wish somebody would fix it!) Greatly appreciate any comments, links, whatever... Thanks!
    dc

    I don't question your obviously profound knowledge concerning the usage of .pdf files for distributing multimedia content via CD...
    ... but to add:
    ... when it comes to creating QuickTime movies in iMovie for multi-platform distribution on CD... ... not EVERY platform supports Quicktime.., to my knowledge TWO do so...
    ... video format is QT... Quicktime is NOT a video-format, it is a wrapper or "container", throwing a short view over this list let me estimate, QT is 30% "video"...
    ... QT7 works in R6... QT7 for windows doesn't support h.264... as an example. so, "codec"/settings can result in trouble.
    last question:
    why do you post a question about encoding in an edit-app forum?
    you should better try here or here.....
    happy landing...

  • I got a new macbook pro and am having a great deal of trouble with it from the start!  But other than that, which I will get to, I have had macs since the one following Lisa and I am a diehard apple fan, yet now with the macbook pro and Lion and its

    I could not download the upgrade to the mountain lion. my updates were taking an enormous amount of time for other programs. When I finally got the indication it was waiting to be downloaded I had to shut down. It was after 2 am and I was practically unconscious already with all the trauma of trying to find the right place for the redeem of the code to open the password. It was all confusing and poorly communicated by Apple. The terrible deterioration of Apple's written communications by non-American techies who can't write for easy understanding, even by this old time tech afficianado is heart-breaking and frustrating is putting the effects mildly.  I have not yet gone back to the mac book pro to finish the job. I am too frustrated and unhappy with the new system.  Also, I found out the hard way that my time capsule saved files on the macbook Snow Leopard, which still works fine after 6 years of use, is locked in that external drive and I cannot transfer the items except one by one or by folders on that computer to a DVD or to a flash drive, to mport to this new computer. Because the systems are not the same, I can't access the files automatically. I fear I will have further problems with the mountain lion vs. lion in seeing those files. What can I do? What should I do?  I am afraid to designate an external hard drive I purchased with the new laptop for the time capsule because then it won't work with any other computer.  I read of terrible incompatibility issues and crashes and things not working right once Mountain Lion was installed and now I am terrified they will happen to me. I just wanted the computer to be as easy to use as all the other macs I have and have had and now it is more like a horribly complicated and difficult Microsoft IBM compatible PC. I hate this. Perhaps Apple wanted to appeal to new Apple users and tried to make them comfortable while disregarding the comfort of loyal Apple users?  It's a sell-out. Meanwhile, I have to get senior tech people because the kids who try to answer my questions much of the time don't interpret what i am telling them and it takes a pro.  Perhaps the kids can answer what I should do in preferenced to scroll the screen, since the scroll indicators disappear and I can't see them and have to resort to using the arrows on the keyboard, which is not the way I like to work.    Please advise me about all of these things!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Some Solutions, 1 remaining prob with MBP, Windows 7 64-bit, Bootcamp

    It has taken me about 3 months to get Windows 7 64-bit (OEM disk purchased from TigerDirect) to work on my MacBook PRO 17" 2.4GHz, and it is still not quite there.
    FIRST: It seemed impossible to load. I put the disk in the drive, held Option key down, selected Windows (from the DVD), and was presented with a black screen with white writing that said: 1. 2. Select Boot Type. That would be it. No response from the keyboard or even a USB keyboard. I read about an incompatibility with EFI naming conventions between Apple and Microsoft. Something about naming conventions. The solution is elsewhere in these discussions and involves re-creating the Windows install DVD with an EFI naming convention that apple likes. That worked, and the re-burned Windows disk booted! Hurrah?? No.
    NEXT: The installation process started - all the correct Windows screens popped up, but it was incredibly slow. In fact, the installation process took 24 hours (YES!) to complete. Once it was done, I rebooted. The flying orbs started. I was excited! But instead of a login screen, I was presented with a black screen and a movable white mouse cursor, and that was it. I left it on this screen for 24 hours, with no change whatsoever. No sound. No response to CTL-ALT-DELETE. No response to holding the shift key down or pressing it 5 times - all things recommended by some folks who were able to pull up taskmgr this way and launch Explorer. For me, this was not possible. Nothing worked.
    NEXT: I thought I'd check to see if Windows 7 64-bit really installed on the bootcamp partition. I did this by firing up Parallels 5 and pointing it at the bootcamp partition, where it found Windows and cheerfully offered to boot it for me. It worked, but this is not what I wanted. Still, it was enough to prove to me that the install was complete, valid, and bootable.
    Months passed with trying various things.
    Finally, I read about something involving memory. I fired up parallels, went to a dos prompt in my Windows 7 install thanks to Parallels access to it, and typed MSCONFIG. There's a boot tab there, and when you click on Advanced, you'll see a Maximum Memory box. Type a number in here like 2000 or 3000 (I have 8GB RAM installed, so I typed in 4000) and applied the change, then shut down windows in Parallells. Then, I restarted my mac and booted into Windows. Guess what??!? It BOOTED!! Now, all memory tests tell me that all 8GB of my RAM are fine. I swapped the two DIMMS and no change, so one DIMM is not bad. My EFI is 64-bit capable. My Windows version is 64-bit. So, when I right click on My Computer, select Properties, and read the screen it says: MEMORY: 8GB installed, 2.97GB usable. Now, I understand that some of the 4GB is used up by devices so I get this 2.97 number, but what gives??
    So this is where I need some brilliant guy's help: What's the deal with the RAM? If I type a number above 4000 in the box in Windows, I can go up to about 4080 but after that, the number won't stick (goes to 2 or 3 or something crazy). Again - EVERYTHING is 64-bit: The EFI, the Windows 7 install, and my MBP is one of the supported ones. So what on earth could be the problem?
    (Oh, and yes, I loaded the Bootcamp 2.2 drivers from my Snow Leopard DVD, then loaded the Bootcamp 3.1 updates and drivers, yes my Magic Mouse works, yes the screen is perfect, yes I do have sound, yes Windows Properties says it's Windows 7 64-bit, but I do have the heat problem mentioned elsewhere in these forums.)
    Your thoughts would be very appreciated!

    I'm looking into running Windows 7 64bit on the exact same MBP you have, so I'm curious as to whether or not you've found a solution yet outside of the forums.
    Do you think it might be that the bootcamp 3.1 update is only for Windows 7 32bit and not for the 64bit version?

  • Can't get XP or Win 2K to load on new system

    Greetings and Help!
    I'm putting together a new system and cannot get XP or 2K to load.
    The load begins as normal but about 40% through the file copies, the windows loader starts giving errors that files (on the CD) are 'corrupted' and do I want to try again or skip files (yea...like system32.dll ..... sure I can leave that one out).
    I have the system down to KVM.  I have tried turbo mode - default mode, hyper-threading on and off.  Just about bios option I can try.
    I don't know what the bios version is because the board is at home and I am at work (shhhhh).  My guess is that it's 1.3 (I bought the board about 2 weeks ago from newegg).
    Any ideas or solutions (other than a 357 port in my forehead)?
    Thanks

    I have had this happen to me in the past when trying to load Win 98. It was caused by the CD ROM having difficulties reading the installation cd which was brand new MS issue. I had to use another cd reader to do the installation. There was nothing wrong with the cd or the original reader, just slight incompatibility. The thing that puzzled me for so long was that the installation would halt at a different point every time with different files being indicated as corrupt. But I also would make sure my memory is securely installed and not faulty and that the CPU is not overheating.

  • Best Way to Remove CS2 from Leopard?

    Brief History
    I run a MBP with 10.5.6.  I just purchased CS4 so CS2 has to go. I've read about the incompatibility between 10.5 and CS2 but have never had any trouble until I tried to remove CS2.  I followed the removal instructions on the CD but ran into all kinds of permissions damage and most of my remaining programs crashed on launch.  I've restored my drive to the point where CS2 is intact but deactivated. All other applications are running fine.
    Question
    Since the "Removal" programs resulted in a corrupted system and required a complete drive restore, how should I remove the most of CS2 short of dumping all the application folders into the Trash and leaving all sorts of remnants in my OS?  I'd prefer to remove all as "clean" as possible.
    TIA

    to remove CS2
    put in trash
    Delete.
    Only Acrobat needs to use the uninstaller.

  • IMac -- Compatible with UPS Square Wave Voltage

    I have been reading of the incompatibility of UPS square wave outputs of UPS devices and the new energy star 4 or 5 computers. The new iMac is energy star-5 compliant. The power supply output of a UPS will not work with new computers.
    Does anyone have any information on this issue?

    I’ve been trying to find the same answers for my 24”, intel,Core 2 Duo extrerme, 2.8GHXZ, iMac (mid 2007) that Apple Engineering says has Active Power Factor Correction power supply.
    All I want from an UPS is decent time to unmount my external H.D., save my working data, and shut down the iMac properly. After the better part of two weeks I believeI have found the answer for my situation. Disclimer: I am not a tech nor experienced in electrical matters but just a guy who hung in there trying to make sense out of many conflicting bits of information. This is not meant to tell you what you should or should not do. Just what I believe I’ve found and what I have done about it
    after talking to lots of tech people. Corrections/updates welcomed!
    1. Apparently, there are some recent models of computers that have an updated power supply commonly called Power Factor Correction power supply (PFC), more specifically called Active Power Factor Correction Power Supply. As I understand it they were previously found mostly in the higher end of computers and not commonly found in the type that the average guy would use. Now Apple Engineering has told me via Apple Care that my 2007 iMac has an Active Power Factor Correction power (akaPFC) supply and that all wide range voltage supplies are PFC. I take that to also mean late model iMacs and most likely Mac Pros have this type of power supply.
    Mine has it and it is a 2007 iMac, I’m not sure when they started using it in iMacs.
    2. So what ? Well, if you tell an UPS mfg. your computer has an Active Power Factor Correction power supply or even if you drop the word “Active” (and use PFC) they will commonly say you need an UPS battery that sends electricity via a Pure Sine Wave to the computer. They are very costly units, easily $500 and up.
    3. What is an Active Power Factor Correction power supply, aka Power Factor Correction supply (PFC)? Paraphrasing and editing a statement from a battery mfg support page: Although a computer power supply draws only a fraction of its full capacity during its steady state (normal) operation, Power Factor Correction (PFC) supplies have the potential to draw their full capacity ( which I assume is the stated watts on the computers data sheet), instantly when passing battery power to the computer’s Power Factor Correction power supply.
    So what? well, the UPS may experience up to 8ms transfer time during this period which is just long enough to remove power from the computer’s Power Factor Correction supply which subjects the UPS to the maximum power draw of computer’s Power Factor Correction supply (PFC). This could result in a potential UPS overload or dropped power load ( computer restart, shut down ) because the UPS does not have the ability to furnish the amount of demanded power (watts).
    4. I solved my problem of what kind and reasonable cost UPS would work with my Intel iMac after talking with APC , local Apple Authorized repair & CyperPower. First I determined the max watts draw of my iMac x 3 ( to allow sufficient excess watts when in an instant max watts demand from the Computer’s Active Power Factor Correction power supply ) and added the max watts draw of my external H.D. and FIOS Router to determine the total UPS watts that would be required to aid in the UPS selection process.
    I purchased a CyberPower UPS model CP1500AVRLCD 900W , which successfully sent Simulated Sine Wave power just fine to my computer’s Active Power Factor Correction power supply when testing it two times. No need for costly Pure Sine Wave UPS. Cyberpower says this unit will work with the iMac but not work with the Mac “Tower” / Mac Pro and I suspect it has to due to the huge difference between them in maximum watts that can be instantly drawn when the Active Power Factor Correction power supply instantly demands the full watts power from the UPS.
    APC UPS model BR 1200 (also a non pure Sine Wave UPS) is recommended by a local Apple Authorized Repair facility (vendor) to his customers as working with the current iMacs.
    I personally think the difference in working and not working is getting the right amount of excess watts in the UPS, can’t think of any other reason it works. I really don’t care as long as it works.

  • ITune songs skip BACK 25 or so songs via Bluetooth

    I play my iTunes music via Bluetooth in my car, and I have had this problem to varying degrees for as long as I can remember - I have an iPhone 4S, up to date on updates. When I turn my car off and go in the the evening, and come back out in the morning, start the car and the music starts playing again, it is back anywhere from one or two to 2-26 songs.
    It will sometimes happen during a shorter period - like while I'm at work (more so) or shopping (less so). I can't fins anything in iTune or iPhone settings which would facilitate this. I want the music to pick up with the song I left off with when I turned the car off - not way back many songs....I end up having to skip through all the songs I already listened to in order to listen to songs I haven't heard recently. I usually have my player set to shuffle.
    It's pretty frustrating! Anyone else experiencing this or experienced this in the past? Any guesses for a fix/adjustment?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Cara

    No one? I guess I need to contact Apple Support? I thought it might be a Bluetooth issue as I've read about some incompatibility issues with Bluetooth and the iPhone...
    No one else has experience this problem?

  • Issue with latest Adobe Reader 11.0.10 - Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to incompatibility with your system configuration.

    Since updating to the most recent Adobe Reader v11.0.10, getting an Adobe Reader Protected Mode: Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due do an incompatibility with your system configuration.  Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?

    The solution I was looking for was to launch Adobe Reader in Protected Mode.
    I could not identify issues preventing Protected Mode from starting.  What ended up working, was to do a complete uninstall, followed by a reinstall.  Now we can load Reader in Protected Mode.

  • Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.

    I keep getting the error message: Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.
    I have Windows 7 Home basic Service pack 1 and have already uninstalled and re-downloaded Adobe reader XI twice. I have also read other threads on this forum, and
    tried the suggestions, including running Kaspersky anti-rootkit, no threats were found.
    My Adobe reader shortcut icon shows a small blue and yellow shield in the bottom right (I uninstalled Windows essential protection), but the problem prevails.
    I would rather get to the root of the error and fix it and not just disable protection mode!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Please refer to the solution in:- Error: “Acrobat Failed to Load core DLL”.

  • Minor incompatibility between outlook 2010 and (pdf-) Reader app

    Hi.
    On win8.1 x64 enterprise (fully patched, including all optional updates to-date), I have found a slight incompatibility with outlook 2010 (x86, sp2). If anybody would like to reproduce it, here are the steps:
    First, make sure that the Reader app is your default pdf viewer. Now open outlook and take a message with a pdf attachment. Right click the attachment and select "quick Print". Expected behavior: the attached pdf is sent to your default printer.
    Instead, nothing happens.
    If I set Adobe Reader as default pdf viewer, it works as expected.
    Please be aware that the cause is related to the reader app which is not started by outlook. In order to quick print, the pdf reader would need to be started first, as observed with adobe reader: it flashes up briefly before printing starts.
    So the problem is with either outlook or with the way win8.1 manages calls from program to program - I don't know. Please note it has nothing to do with the model of the printer, it happens with all printers, even virtual ones.
    If we think of companies adopting win8/8.1, this is really annoying, as it will require them to install a 3rd party reader.
    Please look for a solution. If I should report it anywhere, just say where.

    Hi,
    I made a test on our test enviroment, Windows 8.1 X64 Enterprise, Office 2010 PRO SP2.
    There is no problem to printing as you description. You may need to consider if this is Office problem.

  • Acrobat Reader 10.0.1 and HP DesignJet 1055CM+ incompatibility

    Hello -
    I'm an IT administrator with my organization and we recently experienced a compatibility issue.
    We have four plotters on our network, one of which is a HP DesignJet 1055CM+. We're currently running Windows 7 64bit on the machines that connect to the plotter over the network. This plotter seems to no longer be officially supported by the manufacturer under Windows 7, but Microsoft offers drivers from Windows Update.
    Microsoft offers -
    - PostScript drivers
    - HP/GL2 drivers
    For full flexibility in media handling in Autodesk products, we have installed the HP/GL2 drivers. (For the 1055CM+, this happens to be version 4.82 available from Microsoft.)
    Now, on all the other plotters, Acrobat 10.0.1 can use the plotters fine (again, wih HP/GL2 drivers). However, in combination with the 1055CM, a bug was discovered.
    BUG: Acrobat Reader 10.0.1 could not discover the correct paper size.
    In the printer setup in the Printer Control Panel in Windows, we have ensured using HP's printer drivers that it is configured to use the media we wish to use, a roll of ARCH E1 sized (30 x 42) paper. We have also determined using Acrobat's advanced printer configuration window that the correct media is selected. However, on the main print configuration window, it automatically selects 8.5x11 media and ignores any other available size.
    None of the other plotters (DesignJet 750+, DesignJet 800) exhibit this behavior.
    Fix attempted: Update 10.0 to 10.0.1 - no change
    Fix attempted: Update HP/GL2 drivers to version 4.84, available for Windows Vista - no change
    Current workaround: Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9.x continues to work properly, so many of our users have been downgraded back to 9.4.2.
    Another workaround: Some of our users use Bluebeam, and it continues to work fine with the 1055CM+.
    Please respond if you can help.
    - Greg

    Additionally... if printing is even attempted, nothing will print!
