READER X Freezing effects

Hi,
This topic is to be reconciled with this one : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3787868#3787868
This behaviour has very bad side effects as I am going to describe :
- With Reader X installed one can reproduce the basic behaviour opening a windows (XP: I've not tried with any other OS) file explorer where some .pdf are present. If one mouses over one of those pdf files, generally on the first one, you can see briefly a hourglass mouse icon (for half a second or even less) appearing. If at the same time you have MS tasks manager open, you can see (but even with a maximized refreshing rate it's so brief that it can hardly be seen) 2 processes "acrord32.exe" coming up (if you order the tasks by the most processor ressources consuming).
The purpose of this is a bit described in the referenced link, but anyway that doesn't matter.
- Now if you try to attach a file in a new message in thunderbird (probably it is reproductible with other mail clients as the window which is open is a standard MS explorer and file picking modal window) and if in the directory you have some pdf files (amongst others) as long as your mouse flies over one of those pdf files even if you choose to abandon your file choice, the explorer window hangs and so does thunderbird. This lasts for some minutes (5 to 10 minutes) which is very very annoying.
If, inside the directory where you have some pdf files, you (take care) do not fly your mouse over one of the pdf files, then the file picking works and the explorer modal window returns and thunderbird doesn't hang.
I have tryed to solve that without success (for 2 days now) cause I have a lot of PCs which have the same behaviour and it is very unpleasant for those who meet the problem.
notes:
* trying to get rid of this by unregistering some adobe reader dll file with 'regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\pdfshell.dll" /u' as given in the previous subject doesn't work (as it was said by sam878 because when lauching adobe reader the program sees that there is something wrong with the installation and it reinstalls itself).
* trying to modify Adobe reader preferences (search category and deactivate quick research) doesn't solve the problem.
* XP sp3 is concerned for all the PCs on which this happens.
* I disabled any anti-virus sofware (in my case MS Security Essential) and some services which were useless.
Thanks for those who will answer

I did not see the reader forum when I was mapping this topic, but I will move it (create a new one?) there. Thx.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I am not sure the other topic applies to me as it is referring to Premier Pro 2.0. I will continue in the Reader forums, though. Thanks again.

Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

When i open reader, it freezes, also i only get half a screen

when i open reader it freezes, and only the bottom half of the screen is visible. I have to use ctrl, alt, delete, to close it

My solution to my original problem of stopping FF from intruding with an erstwhile search doesn't work. Firefox IGNORES my settings to NOT check for updates to addons (letalone disabled and unwanted addons). It continues to check when I reopen FF. What a PITA>
Further, it gives me no solution. Just takes more than a minute of my time waiting for it to stop.
grr

Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

Adobe Reader XI freezes whenever a document is opened

Whenever I open a PDF, Reader XI freezes up and the document doesn't open. I have to close reader from the task manager. however, when I open reader and close the Tools menu, I'm able to launch a PDF with no issues afterwards.
As I need to update Reader on many machines, I'm wondering if there is a way to disable this feature when I install it so I don't have to do this on all the computers in my environment.
Thanks.

Hi Adamdeboosher,
Are you still facing this issue. You may try Adobe customization wizard. Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home . Also, you can customize various options using Adobe customization wizard.
Reader is trying to access various online services. You might need to check exception for Adobe online service Acrobat.com....

IBooks read-aloud freezes

I have made a couple of fixed layout books with read aloud function, which are not yet published to the iBookstore. One with word-by-word markup, and one where I have just a single SMIL par-tag per page. They seem to have the same problem. At first they work fine in iBooks, but eventually next time I test them, the read-aloud freezes at the first word or page which has a SMIL-doc attached to it. That is, it will flip through the first pages but will not get through the actual read aloud words. The only solution I found so far is to restart the iPad. Then it will work for a while, before the same thing happens again. And that is not what I would want to happen once they are published.
Both books go through epubcheck 3.0.1 just fine. What could be the problem?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

i am having a similar problem with my 4g 20G
it freezes when i try to update. i thought maybe it was the latest version of itunes i recently installed but i reverted back to an old updater version and itunes 6 and while i was able to get 300 songs on the ipod without freezing, when i tried to put the rest of my library on there it freezes. i've even tried to put as little as 15 songs on at a time and that still freezes the ipod.
i have a mac powerbook with macos 10.2

Reader XI freezes 2-3 seconds after I open it, every time!

This problem started when I downloaded reader XI. It didn't happen in reader 9, or whatever the previous version was on my computer. The little timer on the right moves clockwise 2-3 clicks and then it freezes. About 20 seconds after being frozen, it closes. Same thing happens when I try to open a pdf. No error messages or anything. I'm running windows 7 on a dell latitude E5530 (laptop). No idea what's going on. Here's a screenshot. Help please. Go easy please. I'm not super smart when it comes to computer jargon.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

Adobe Reader XI freezes my computer when I try to print

I cannot print any pdf files. I am running Windows 7 and when I open Adobe Reader XI and try to print a pdf, I get the print dialog box just fine but then when I click "Print," the dialog box comes up to show print progress and at that point everything freezes. I am printing to a wireless printer HP Deskjet 6980. I can't even get Ctl-Alt-delete to get me to Task Manager so I have to hold down the power button and I don't like having to shut down that way.

I have been having the same problem for weeks. I am using Windows 7, Mozilla 33.0.3, and Adobe Reader version XI.0.09. I saw some advice on another site that I relied on in resolving this. You need to open the Reader, to to Edit, click on Preferences. On the Left Hand menu, find "Security (Enhanced)" and open it. If "Enable Protected Mode at Start-up" is active, disable that. "Enhanced Security" is likely already enabled (and you want to leave that on); if not, enable it.
Under "Privileged Locations," make sure both options (Trust documents/Trust sites) are enabled. Then open the box entitled "View Windows Trusted Sites." This will take you to the browser's Security Tab. Click the green arrow "Trusted Sites" and then the "Sites" tab that appears. Add the relevant https://.***.com site from which you wish to be able to print *.pdfs. (Note: It is very important the you make sure to include the secure site, i.e., https..., and not the initial www.***.com site from which you may access the secure site). After you have added the secure address, click Add, then Close the window. Make sure then to Click "OK" to close the Security Tab, and then scroll down to the bottom of the "Security (Enhanced)" page to which you will be returned and click OK there. Close the Adobe Reader and any other Reader windows you may have open.
You can now go to the secure site whose address you just entered, and download the .pdf you want. (If you have already downloaded the .pdf on your computer from that site you can now just open it instead). Send the print command for the pages of the .pdf page you want. The system will hang for a few seconds (at least mine did), but then it prints.
You may be able to go directly to the Security Tab in your browser and enter the secure site in question without going through a pdf document and it will also work but I do not know that for sure.
Finally, I am not an expert; just another user who figured this out with a little help from others. An expert may wish to comment further on what I have written above to provide further guidance or instruction.
Good luck.
Later Note: It is possible to add a non-secure site from which you want to download and open .pdfs to the Trusted Site list. To do this, uncheck the "Require server verification (https://) for all sites in this zone" box that appears under the listed of Trusted Sites. As I am not an expert user I do not know if doing this represents a significant security issue but I at least do not find that is the case after running a cursory search online.

Acrobat Reader X freeze and cannot be terminated

since a few days now, i have 3 users who has issue with Adobe Reader X (10.1.3.23). when they open a PDF, adobe freeze and cannot be terminated via task manager.
here is the error in the event viewer:
Hanging application AcroRd32.exe, version 10.1.3.23, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000
The strange thing is that when i do a right click on the PDF from the task manager and select 'go to process...' it take me to the SCRSS.EXE and not the AcroRd32.exe
To remidy on this issue, a reboot is required since i cannot terminate CSRSS. Adobe seems to work for a while... but so far, it come back the next day.
I also checked if the SCRSS is not a virus and passed the MD5.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall but the issue persist.

Hi,
Can you try and delete all the files and folders present in your Reader installation directory (by default its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0). Now try and repair the installation from within the Control Panel.
For Windows XP: Add/Remove Programs
For Win 7: Programs and Features
Does this solve the issue? If not, could you let me know the following information:
1. Is the process name actually: csrss.exe?
2. The OS you are working on?
3. If you are working on Win 7, then could you please get me the location of the process csrss.exe.
You can do the same by chosing to view the column "Command Line" from Task Manager (View > Select Columns)
Thanks

I have Windows 7.Home Premium, Service Pack 1. This problem began about a month or so ago. I have tried the trouble shooter and it says I have a compatibility problem but does not offer a fix. AARRGH! I saw a thread about this but now I can't find it again. It said to change a preference setting but Reader freezes and closes before I can change any settings. There was mention of a registry key but that is over my head. =(

What is your Reader version?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
