Reader X Toolbar

I just installed Reader X and don't like the toolbar hovering at the bottom of the document. If I click on it, it goes up to it's normal home position. How can I fix the toolbar to always open at the top of the document?

Adobe Reader XI toolbar

I installed Adobe Reader XI on Win7 x86, followed by update of FFox to v19 (apparently the latest browser release). Adobe Reader works normally, and I can open PDFs for viewing in FFox 19, but it seems FFox 19 -will- -not- display the standard toolbar for Adobe Reader XI. Instead, the only options are a 'download' button, a 'slider' button, 'page count' and 'next/prev page'. In contrast, IE8 -will- display the standard Adobe Reader XI toolbar, near the top of the open window. I don't know whether the problem is with Adobe or with FFox 19, and until there is a fix or some kind of work-around, I don't want to update any of my other machines.

Okay, that too is nice.
If, in fact, a built-in PDF.js is 'more secure', then I may decide to use it. There is still a problem with the toolbar, to wit:
I more or less routinely download 100s of PDFs in one session, the nature of that effort requires that I 'view' then 'download'. With older versions of Acrobat/Reader, and a full toolbar for that app, I can simply hit 'save as' and open a location to save the file. With this new version, PDF.js will only let me choose 'download', which opens a separate GUI -- for each separate download attempt -- where I must then select the target location. That's dumb, that's cumbersome, whether or not Mozilla believe the app is "more secure" (and no, I don't seriously believe I am at any kind of security risk at any time). I found that I can also choose "do this for every..." option in PDF.js, but then I must later open Tools -> Options, find "Portable Document Format" and change it back to "Preview in Firefox" before my next session. That too is dumb, that too is cumbersome.
Seems to me, the only solution is to try re-installing Reader, get FFox to open that app, and look for a way to restore toolbar access.
How nice of Mozilla to "enhance" my browser experience.

Question email icon in Reader XI toolbar

Good morning,
I have several users who use adobe as default reader application (win7 Pro desktops).
They use an application called Protivity within Google Chrome and one user has it setup so that when she opens, for example, a PDF receipt, it opens and includes a toolbar with the envelope icon for emailing that pdf out using outlook.
Other users don't have that option although they DO have the same Adobe reader version (XI) and chrome of course. A screen shot of what the other users would like to see is at

And you can see under 'receipt' it has the icons for various functions, including email (to the right of the little printer icon). Anything I am missing? Any ideas would be great. Thank you for your help!

The others who "don't" see that stuff are most likely using Firefox which has a built in PDF viewer that doesn't have those capabilities yet.
Good news is it IS possible to disable the built in viewer and use Adobe Reader as the default.
They need to type "about:config" in the address bar in Firefox (minus the quotes).
In the configuration page, there is a search bar at the top. They need to type "js" in the bar. A short list of settings containing "js" will appear.
One setting is "pdfjsviewer disabled" and the value is "false". Right click it to Toggle it to True.
Then under Tools>Options, in the Applications tab, scroll down to find Portable Document Format (PDF) and Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select the PDF viewer you wish to use (the attached image shows "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", and should be "(use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)" for people without Acrobat Pro installed.

Adobe Reader X - Toolbar items slowly disappear

We have a software developer's system that is acting very oddly with Adobe Reader X. It is a Windows XP SP3 machine with 3GB RAM. What is happening is that after a PDF is opened in Adobe Reader X, after a while all of the toolbar items slowly disappear. I've done everything from redeploying Reader to the machine, using the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool after uninstalling it, checked to make sure that the system's memory usage was within reason, etc... The system is rebooted regularly (usually every morning or evening), undergoes a virus scan regularly, etc...
We're at a loss as to what could be causing this. The last thing I want to do is rebuild the system, as it would be a headache for both me and the software developer.
As you can see below, some of the items in the toolbar remain, such as the page number and zoom text box. The file menu remains intact, but the items in the toolbar slowly disappear after Reader X as been open for a while.
Also, sometimes the items disappear by themselves, othertimes if you just mouse-over them they disappear.
Any ideas or suggestions?
-Jake

I've just started experiencing the exact same problem. I upgraded to Reader X a good month or so ago, and I've had it open with documents loaded for long stretches most days since installing it, but I didn't notice the problem until Sunday 9th Jan. Closing Reader and reopening it brings back the toolbar, but then it disappears again after a while.
I too am running Windows XP SP 3, with 2 GB RAM and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ CPU.

Adobe Reader 9 - TOOLBAR CUSTOMIZATION won't save upon exiting program

I just installed Adobe Reader 9 on a Dell Laptop running Windows XP, with all updates installed.
When I open Adobe Reader, it starts with a minimum set of buttons shown in the toolbar, so I have tried to customize the toolbar by adding more tools (such as the "Open", "Single continuous", "Rotate clockwise" buttons). Everything works fine until then, but when I quit the program and restart (whenever I need to use it again), the toolbar is back to its previous state.
I don't remember this being an issue with Reader 8, am I missing something? A comprehensive look at the preferences didn't reveal any option to maintain toolbar preferences.
Thanks!

Hi guys! I too had this same annoying problem, but have just figured out why it doesn't restore our settings! To fix it, from the main menu bar, click on:
Edit > Preferences
then from the category bar on the righthand side, click:
Documents.
Now look at the checkboxes to the right, and UN-TICK the setting saying:
'Allow documents to hide the menu bar, toolbars and window controls'.
Then it should remember all your settings every time you re-open the document! It did for me! Hope this helps anyone having the same problem with adobe reader's really anoying default settings! If adobe is reading this, please make the default setting show our menu bars like in the previous versions! People are getting really frustrated with it, and I'm sure many people just gave up and stopped using it! Just a heads up!

Adobe Reader - Adding Toolbar : hello world example

Hi everyone,
I would like to create a "Toolbar Button" for Adobe Reader which supports all version of it.
After a long search for this over the web found some article suggesting that this can be done with either of 2 methods.
1. Acrobat Javascript.
2. Acrobat Plugins.
1. Acrobat Javascript:
     I am successful in creating a "ToolBar Button" in Adobe Reader with below script placed in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Javascripts"
Script:
function helloWorld()
app.alert("Hello World");
app.addToolButton({
       cName: "helloWorldBtn",           // A name for your button
       cExec: "helloWorld()",               //Function to Call
       cLabel: "Hello World",               //The Text on the Button
       cTooltext: "Say Hello World",     //The Help Text
        cEnable: true
Problem with Javascript:
The only problem faced with Javascript implementing my scenario is "I coudn't call a ActiveX or DLL method from this Javascript".
I tried creating new ActiveXObject in the code but it thorws runtime error saying it ActiveXObject is a unrecognized key word.(The same "new ActiveXObject" works fine from normal Javascrirpt.
2. Acrobat Plugins.
I couldn't find a good "Helloworld" sample for building a sample toolbar over internet. I believe from Plugins it would be easier to call other DLL's method by adding a reference or over COM.
Could someone help me getting this done with a best simplest sample to do with. Please don't recommend me the SDK samples, I really don't understand anything out of it.
If we can create toolbar with C# or VB it would be so preferable for me.
Hope you got my problem. Thanks in advance.
Please revert me if any of my assumptions were wrong.

Yes, those are the two ways to create a toolbar button - either JavaScript or Plugin.
You are also correct that you can't do anything with ActiveX or DLL from Acrobat JavaScript - which is the same JavaScript engine as Mozilla/FireFox. owever, many browsers add additional/custom objects (such as ActiveX), which may be what you are thinking of...
Plugins are written in C/C++ and they are documented in the Acrobat SDK. You will need to download that to get building. It includes documentation, sample code, etc. HOWEVER, be aware that in order to develop a plugin for Reader you must obtain a license from Adobe. There is a cost and process for this license and details are in the SDK.

Disable Adobe Reader XI Toolbar

Hi,
I'm new to this type of programing, so sorry if i don't understand.
I did my research and noticed the only way to disable the Toolbar (when using a WebBrowser Control) is when calling the browser to MyWebBrowser.Navigate URL.
My problem is that I call the event once and it works. Call the same I select the WebBrowser to navigate to another document and works great.
Now, I click to go back to the first document and there, the Toolbar again.
This is done on MS Access (VBA), Here is my routine:
Private Sub cmdNavigate_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
If (Not IsNull(Me.document_name)) Then
    strDocumentPath = Trim(Me.document_path)
    strDocumentPath = strDocumentPath & Trim(Me.document_name) & "."
    strDocumentPath = strDocumentPath & Trim(Me.document_ext)
    If (FileExists(strDocumentPath)) Then
        Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        With ie
            .navigate strDocumentPath & "#toolbar=0&navpanes=0"
             While (.Busy = True) Or (.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE): DoEvents: Wend
            .AddressBar = False
            .MenuBar = False
            .StatusBar = False
            .Toolbar = False
            .Visible = True
        End With
        Set ie = Nothing
    Else
        MsgBox "Error: File was not found", vbCritical, "Error"
    End If
End If
Err_Exit:
    Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
    DisplayUnexError Err.Number, Err.description
    Resume Err_Exit
End Sub
Any idea why is Adobe Reader not responding to the command passed with the URL after files has been open.
Thanks
SD

Found the issue.
I noticed while I was opening the IE instance, IE was leaving the instance in memory. So, I added the following subroutine to check if IE is already opened and with the current PDF.
Private Function FIExplorer(chkUrl As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
FIExplorer = False
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
If (objShell.count > 0) Then
    ieUrl = Trim(Replace(Replace(chkUrl, "%20", " "), "\", "/"))
    i = InStr(ieUrl, "//")
    If ((i > 0) And (i < 7)) Then
        ieUrl = Mid(ieUrl, i + 2)
    End If
    If (Right(ieUrl, 1) = "/") Then
        ieUrl = Left(ieUrl, Len(ieUrl) - 1)
    End If
    For Each objIe In objShell
        ieName = objIe.FullName
        If (InStr(ieName, "iexplore.exe")) Then
            wUrl = Trim(Replace(Replace(objIe.LocationURL, "%20", " "), "\", "/"))
            i = InStr(wUrl, "://")
            If ((i > 1) And (i < 7)) Then
                wUrl = Mid(wUrl, i + 3)
            End If
            If (Mid(wUrl, 1, 1) = "/") Then
                wUrl = Mid(wUrl, 2)
            End If
            If (Right(wUrl, 1) = "/") Then
                wUrl = Left(wUrl, Len(wUrl) - 1)
            End If
            If (StrComp(ieUrl, wUrl, 1) = 0) Then
                FIExplorer = True
                Exit For
            End If
        End If
    Next objIe
End If
Set objIe = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing
End Function
Hope this helps someone with same issue.

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

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 Read Mode Floating Toolbar Missing Page Numbers

How do I get the page numbers to show up in the Read Mode toolbar.
Mine are missing.
I Googled it for a while and wasn't able to find anything.

Could it be related to a group policy setting?

Reader XI Show/Hide Toolbar Items - Not Permanent

Sorry I've asked this before but searching my account does not turn up the prior thread. Reader XI Toolbar Items still are not permanent. I have to manually include the tools I always use manually whenever I open Reader after rebooting. I have tried the Adobe uninstaller several times and reinstalling, also tried running the repair tool from Help tab.
Read somewhere this should not be happening and it may be caused a Registry corruption. If so, how can this be repaired?

Hi JLFitzpatrick,
Are you still facing this issue?
It seems that there is some issue recently reported for users using :: Kaspersky Lab Forum > Bug: KIS version 15.0.0.463 patch B Acrobat Reader XI
You may either downgrade your kaspersky or you may contact Kaspersky. if you are using Kaspersky.

Ajlan Huda.

Reader X IE/Firefox Toolbar Not Working

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium X64 PC with IE 8 and Firefox.
I recently installed Reader X. If I left-click on a pdf document, Reader X loads the pdf, properly displays it, and the Reader X toolbar buttons work as expected.
If I open a PDF from an Internet site (either IE or Firefox), the document displays properly, as does the Reader X toolbar. I can scroll the document with the arrow keys. I can right-click on the Reader X toolbar and change the toolbar contents. But the Reader X toolbar icons are dimmed and will not function in either IE or Firefox.
I’ve uninstalled Reader X and reinstalled Reader 9.x. The Reader 9.x toolbar works in both IE and Firefox. Reinstalling Reader X causes the IE and Firefox pdf toolbars tools to once again not work.
Any suggestions on how to get the Reader X toolbar in IE and Firefox to work? Thanks.

How do I disable/remove the toolbar and menus in Acrobat 9.x?

The toolbar and menus are making the files crash in Solaris 11 when magnification is used or a menu item is selected.

I have published my .cptx files to .pdf then the customer opens them with Adobe Reader. I'm hoping I can remove Reader's toolbar and menus from view when Adobe Reader is opened. People keep trying to use the Reader tools to zoom in and out of the training file, which forces the Reader to close.
Silly customers.

Can you set Reader X's default Print orientation?

Hello -
We have a myriad of web docs provided in PDF form. These are launched in a browser window using IE9 or 10. These are various and sundry parts inventory lists and we are constantly calling them up to print, then dismising them until the next context based request. IOW, the parts lists are not static, otherwise I'd tell everyone to just keep the one they get up on the screen. They are produced by our corp HQ so we have no control over how they are authored.
When these docs appear in the browser window, they are in landscape mode (or at least appear to the eye to be). When we print however they're printing in portrait mode -UNLESS- you remember to select landscape in the print dialog window before you hit <OK>. So, why don't we just remember to do that? We're humans, I guess. And the other thing is the authoring office completely disables all Reader menus, toolbars and other screen elements. You do get a small bar area near the bottom with controls to zoom in/out and print, etc. So I was trying to attack this by calling up Reader at the workstation level to see if I could adjust.
I've looked extensively through Reader's excellent menu system trying to find a way to set Reader to always print landscape. Of course, I can't find it. Then it occurred to me that perhaps this is not a Reader issue and perhaps is a printer driver issue. However, if we default the printer driver to landscape then we're facing the same problem with other applications that require printing like MS Word and so forth. So that's not a real good option.
So, let me ask then if Reader does or does not have a default setting that can be set and that can persist session to session? Even if I did this once a day, it would be better than having to hear the 'Gosh darn it' arias all throughout the day! How about a launch script or launch switch? Anyone know of one?
Thanks, all.

Linking to Adobe Reader

Hi
I originally posted this in an Acrobat board, but after thinking about it, it really should have been posted here, so if you saw it there don't go ballistic on me.
I found this old post in Adobe's Development Knowledge base, and I'm trying to make it work with Dreamweaver CS3 and Acrobat 9/Livecycle 8:
http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/51866.htm
I've tried it but neither method works.
Basically I'm trying to find out how to structure my http link so that when the user opens the pdf in Reader, the toolbar email button will not function. The above link was supposed to disable the entire toolbar, which is ok too if thats the only way.
Can anyone guide me in updating the above method to work with current versions of Dreamweaver and Adobe Reader? Thanks.

Thank you for replying.
I considered passwords or certificates, but that predisposes that I know who the users are in advance. I don't, this is on an open website.
I wasn't clear on this point. I should have mentioned that I'm not looking for a foolproof way of preventing the user from emailing their responses. I don't think that is possible. I'm only attempting to discourage a user from doing so inadvertantly, by making it a little more difficult.
