Reader X browser toolbar problems

We're having some problems with Reader X in a Windows 7 32-bit environment. SOME computers, when they open a pdf in a browser windows, won't allow the print icon to work or jump to any side boomarks. It will work by right clicking on one of the side bookmarks, but that's it. Other systems in my departments work fine. What's the deal??

I read the very long thread at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3295855#3295855 discussing the exact problem with Reader X and an older version of Firefox. Although several comments mentioned changing the zoom level to 100% from something greater, I initially thought they were referring to the zoom within the Reader window. When I finally realized that they were referring to the display properties, I changed that back to 100% and the controls now work.
Although this problem has been happening to me on a custom-built rig, my display is a Dell U2412M. I think at least one other commenter in the other thread mentioned Dell, so perhaps the problem is with the Dell display driver -- where increasing the magnification causes Adobe to "see" mouse presence someplace other than where it actually is. Strage -- and this behavior doesn't appear to affect other apps..
The solution in comment 116 by solution_finder_123 works!!!. Right-click on the shortcut to Reader in the Win 7 Start Menu and select "Disable display scaling on high DPS settings" on Compatibility tab.

Adobe Reader X (latest) Toolbar problems

One of the users at the company I work at has a particularly odd issue. Every time he opens Reader X the toolbar is configured to a default. The odd thing is this isn't the default that Adobe has. If I make changes and then restart Reader, it defaults back to the original toolbar. If I delete the registry items for Reader, on first run it goes back to the default adobe toolbar but on second run it goes back to that default. He does use a add-on called FileOpen but other than that it's about as standard an installation as it can get.
Is there any way to clear the settings for the toolbar so it's no longer locked to those toolbar settings?

I don't believe you answered the question. I have the same problem in that when I upgraded to Reader X my Toolbar disappeared and you responded to my post with a fix. Last week I installed updates to both Acrobat 8 and Reader X and in the process lost my toolbar and the floating toolbar. After "repairing" both Reader and Acrobat numerous times I find that at least the floating toolbar is back and F8 will of course deliver the traditional fixed, top of the page toolbar, but only for that specific open document. When I open a new document (from the web) I must F8 to get my traditional toolbar back. Below are the settings I am using to achieve this (I have tried every combination to try and make this work). Any help to get my toolbar back is very much appreciated.

Adobe Reader Toolbar Problem

I am having a TOOLBAR problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 and 11.0. When I update from Reader 9.0 to either one of the aforementioned I do not get a toolbar so I have to revert to 9.0. What is the problem? My operating system is Windows XP 64.

What is the problem?
You did not read the "What's new?" section in the help (or the help in general for that matter). Old habits die hard, but sometimes the user simply has to adapt to new ways of doing things....

Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem

Dear All,
My first post here.
I am having problem's with the Adobe Reader X integration with Firefox (v3.6.12). I have been using Adobe Reader always and it's been fine.
But I installed the new Adobe Reader X, and it integrates with firefox well, PDF document's open well within the browser.. BUT, I cannot save the PDF document from within the pdf.. I cannot click anywhere on the toolbar.. I cannot click on the pop up toolbar as well (the black one).. When i press F8, I can restore the toolbar or make it disappear.. but that's all I can do..
If I try to save the document from firefox file menu, it works.. but not from within the pdf...
This problem is also seen in IE, as well.
I have tried repairing the install and also uninstall / reinstall adobe reader X. But nothing worked..
For more info., I have been discussing this issue here > http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/534412-adobe-reader-x-available-3.html
I am looking forward to resolving this soon, because I use / read / work with hundreds and thousands of PDF, and they are extremely essential for my research work.. as some might know, all research articles are in PDF format these days..
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Cheers, fondue

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.

Display PDF Dokument in HTML control with Adobe Reader X - hide toolbar

Hello,
I am reading a document from a content repository via Archive Link Interface. I get the content by the function module SCMS_HTTP_GET. Afterwards the content will be displayed in a html control in the method SHOW_URL in class
CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER by calling the url SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/012/XX/0050568700A51EE0BDC6F305DFEDDF57/ with the following code.
CALL METHOD call_method
   EXPORTING
     method = 'ShowUrl'
     p_count = 2
     p1      = url
     p2      = frame
   IMPORTING
     RESULT = m_result.
If I had a standard url like http//:...test.pdf it would be possible to hide the Adobe Reader X toolbar by the additional command &#toolbar=0
The SAP url SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/012/XX/0050568700A51EE0BDC6F305DFEDDF57/&#toolbar=0 is not working. Can anybody give me a hint how to get the toolbar hidden?
Thanks and regards
Joerg

Creating a page (a) small size (b) no browser toolbar

This question is very elementary but I just want to get on
with my project, not do a major self-education exercise!
I want to create what I call a "definition window." That is,
when a site user clicks a link to. for example, get a definition of
a word, a small window pops up, big enough for a definition, and
with no controls at all except to minimise or close the window - in
particular, no browser toolbar.
I can find examples on other websites, but either they don't
give a "view source" possibility, or the source doesn't tell me how
to do it.
The key thing is that the window opens in a small size. Lack
of browser toolbar is desirable, but not essential.
Any clues how to do this would be very welcome.
With many thanks
Andy

Adobe Reader X - basic toolbar (ie page location, magnification, etc)

Hi all,
I just switched over to Adobe X due to the "search function" issue going on with the lastest Adobe Reader version.
Can someone tell me how to display the traditional "toolbar" in Adobe X? I'm talking about the toolbar for searching for a word, or jumping to a page number, or increasing or decreasing the magification %. I use those functions all the time...and can't find a way to get it now.
I run Window 7 on my pc.
Thanks so much for the help!!!

How to handle Back button, Browser Refresh problem at server side.

Hi Friends,
How to handle Back button, Browser Refresh problem at server side in java?.
I am able to trace that,
request.getHeader("ACCEPT") is returning value- */*
when the browser was refreshed and returning different MIME types
for all other actions from browser.
I have doubt, will the above solution works always for all servers,browsers?.
Please also specify any solution to handle back button at server side?.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat..

I'm sorry I don't think tht's the right solution for
the above question....
We must be aware that whatever scripting methdologies
we either javascript/vbscript would executed @
client(browser) side not @ server side....
Dud If U get a good solution keep me updated.....
THANKS & REGARDS,
RAHULMy dear friend ...
the bad news is that u simply cant disable or add any listener to the back button of the browser.
When u hit the back button of ur browser the URL gets re-executed. So in case u have a JSP then the history.forward() is the best solution. [only if the page doesnt get expired similar to secure https sites]
Now dont say that user can have javascript disabled ...those users will have a pretty touch time browsing websites since javascripts r used extensively by almost all websites.
But in case u have an action.do or servlet call then u need to manage it using a session variable since the request will be sent to the server rather than client.
For multiple form submittion issues read the following article in javaworld...
Client vs. server solutions
Different solutions can solve this multiple form submission situation. Some transactional sites simply warn the user to wait for a response after submitting and not to submit twice. More sophisticated solutions involve either client scripting or server programming.
In the client-only strategy, a flag is set on the first submission, and, from then on, the submit button is disabled based on this flag. While appropriate in some situations, this strategy is more or less browser dependent and not as dependable as server solutions.
For a server-based solution, the Synchronizer Token pattern (from Core J2EE Patterns) can be applied, which requires minimal contribution from the client side. The basic idea is to set a token in a session variable before returning a transactional page to the client. This page carries the token inside a hidden field. Upon submission, request processing first tests for the presence of a valid token in the request parameter by comparing it with the one registered in the session. If the token is valid, processing can continue normally, otherwise an alternate course of action is taken. After testing, the token resets to null to prevent subsequent submissions until a new token is saved in the session, which must be done at the appropriate time based on the desired application flow of control.
for more details refer :
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip136.html
Hope u got the idea.
FYI I have been using both these ideas in my credit card payment gateway project. This concept has worked really well.

Hide Browser Toolbars when Playing Movie?

Greetings everyone!
I want more real estate for my published Captivate movie. I
have to scale everything down to make it fit within a browser
window without any scroll bars. My current sizing dimensions are
okay, but I'd love to be able to hide or disable the toolbars in
the browser in which my movie is playing. If I could do that, I can
enlarge my project by about 15% and make it easier on the user. I
can't find any sort of browser configuration settings in the
Preferences section (or anywhere else). I'm familiary with the F11
key (hiding and displaying toolbars for a browser), but I can't
make the assumption that all the users are familar with that
function key and I don't really want to insert a caption box
telling users to use the F11 key. I'd rather do it for them.
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

In the web page where you're launching the Captivate movie
from:
1) In the <head> tags, put in this code to minimize the
page margins:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
2) In the <head> tags, put in the JavaScript function.
This will be called from the hyperlink used to launch the new
window and leave out the browser toolbar, status bar, scroll bar,
etc:
<script type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
3) For the hyperlink that opens the Captivate movie, call the
Javascript function. This is in the <body> tag of your html
page:
Open a Captivate movie in a <a href="#"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('url','captivatewindow','width=900,height=740')">new
browser window</a>.

Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

When reading PDF attachments, I get the following: Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work. I get this: This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked. I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do: Note: this application already installed.
I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011. I have Windows XP SP3.
Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the input. Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version? If you removed it, how did you do that? The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

I keep getting an error message that reads: There is a problems with this windows installer package A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. How do I correct this problem.

Reader 9 PDF printing problems

I have a Kyocera FS-C5015N. When I print any multi-page PDFs to the FS-C5015N, only the first page comes out or nothing at all. I have tracked the problem down to Adobe Reader 9. I say this because I can successfully print multi-page PDFs using version 8.2. But I cannot with v9. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Kyocera's website. Same problem. I can successfully print with Word, Excel, etc. just not Adobe Reader v9. Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.
