Reader XI IE 8 plugin displays "Expected a dict object" when opening a FrameMaker 9.0.4 PDF

We have PDF manuals that are created with FrameMaker 9.0.4. Since we updated Adobe Reader to version XI users have been receiving "Expected a dict object" when opening the PDF manual using PDF Reader XI plugin in IE 8. The manual does open if we disable the plugin. The PDF manual is located at: http://www.otda.ny.gov/resources/fiscal-reference/FRM-3.pdf
Is this a problem with the plugin or with FrameMaker? We already tried Repairing the Adobe Reader Installation and there are no updates for FrameMaker

This message usually relates to uploading your PDF file as ascii or text, because, although it may look like a text file, it is really binary.
Select "binary" before uploading and it should work perfectly

"Adobe Reader Expected a Dict Object Error." Does Anyone Have a Solution?

With the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader XI and Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 Professional 32-bit Service Pack1, we are having issues trying to open a machine manual PDF within the web browser. The web page is hosted locally with an Apache web server. Once we click link to the manual, the PDF attempts to download, but then we are prompted with an Adobe Reader "Expected a dict object. http: // localhost/Help/ait.pdf" information dialog box. The PDF then fails to load. Sometimes however it will load successfully without any issues. The PDF is roughly 34MB in size.
We have tried other web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Opera) and they do not appear to have this issue. What could be causing this problem? Does anyone have a solution for this? Please let us know.

Did you ever find the answer to this problem?? I am having the same problem with
my Acrobat 9 Pro document. When trying to insert a page to the document (300 pages long) I get the error message "expected a dict object
Would appreciate any tips you can give me.

i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

Reader 9.0, 9.1, 9.1.2 blue screening when opening multiple PW protected files

I have a user, using MSOffice 2k3, who get a blue screen when opening multiple password protected files thru Outlook. The error suggests to update the BIOS, which has been done. This occurrs in all 3 versions of Reader 9. It specifically occurrs AFTER he inputs the password in the PW box. It does not matter which file he opens 1st. Any assistance would be appreciated.

No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

Acrobat PDF File format is having difficulties. Expected a dict object

Hey guys, a matter of urgency
I am using illustrator for the first time and finished my assignment for university.
I saved the illustrator file onto my USB and went to school to find that it would not open..
The error with the message shown on the title popped up. My friend told me it has something to do with me not placing the images in the right place, whatever that means.
Please help ASAP this project is extremely important!!

Did you save directly to the USB stick? Or save to harddisk, then copy it over?

Illustrator Error - Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Expected a Dict Object

Hi all,
I am getting a strange error on Illustrator CS4 on my Mac.
Randomly when I open an existing Illustrator file it corrupts with the above error :-(
Once the file becomes corrupt we cannot open it and have to revert to a backup.
I have narrowed it down to files with multiple artboards.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Gerard, thief,
It may (or may not) be possible to rescue contents if you use the http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/500/cpsid_50032.html on both the corrupt document and a healthy older version, and instead of step 3 as described compare the coding, especially at the start. You may be able to replace/copy dissimilar code from the healthy document to heal the corrupted one, or to replace/copy similar code from the corrupted one to a copy of the healthy one.

Since the plugin container update, firefox keeps freezing when opened and on certain sites.

''(locking this old thread. If you have this issue then please create a new thread - c)''
Not sure if its because of the plugin container update but issues began around that time. When I open firefox sometimes its frozen, all i can do is close it down and open a new window. it does not say "(not responding)" like when it crashes, i just cannot type, click bookmark or anything. in particular the site on http://forum.breakbeat.co.uk/, to post messages on there an new box opens, this also freezes in the same manner, only works again if firefox is reset, or sometimes begins to work again by itself, 10 minutes later or so....
PLEASE NOTE: this is not the usual form of crashing, or whatever the technical term is, it simply freezes, yet i can click the "x" in the corner and it instantly recognizes that. when a box opens in a site that crashes, i can still use other tabs/windows of firefox no problem, just not the site... the site is not experiencing issues, already asked them.
thanks

Same here. Win7 64bit, Firefox 3.6.6, Flash Player 10. It all started after the last Update, few weeks ago. Firefox is freezing when loading videos (ex:youtube) and can only be stopped by killing the process in the task manager. Firefox works normal thou after killing the firefox "plugin-container.exe". It would be nice if somebody from Mozilla would pay some attention to this issue.

Pdf file designed using IREPORT tool. when i preview in adobe reader bold fonts displaying correctly,but same file in mozilla adobe plugin displays fonts unbold

I have designed a report using IReport tool with some text as BOLD, which generates report in PDF format. when i open the file with Adobe Reader IX it opens perfectly.
but the problem is when i open the same file in mozilla add-on "Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37" and in previous versions it does not displaying the bold fonts.

Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

Adobe Reader - How to fix improperly displayed images?

Hello, I have an issue, Adobe Reader 11.0.08 displayed weird colored images below but Adobe Reader 11.0.08 as Firefox plugin showed the image as normal with proper colors, how to fix Adobe Reader 11.0.08 to show the colors correctly as what Adobe Reader 11.0.08 Firefox plugin showed?
Attached below is a snapshot taken using Adobe Reader 11.0.08 as it showed like that exactly to me when viewing it in there but Adobe Reader 11.0.08 Firefox plugin do not show me this incorrect rendering of the image so the .pdf document itself is not at fault.

Very strange! Can you try to change this setting in Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Page Display: check 'Show large images'.
If that does not fix the problem, can you make that PDF available to us: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375 (if it is not confidential).
After doing clean installs, I can confirm that the option is already set to 'Show large images' and have checked again to make sure, situation is still the same as before.
In regards to making the entire PDF file available to Adobe Cloud, I don't think it will be possible, sorry about that. (I'm not familiar with how digital distribution works and such)
However a friend recommended to me "Foxit Reader" and it have worked fairly well with no issues in regards to distorted or buggy images rendering that both the current Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and Adobe Reader 11.0.10 have.

Dscc directory server plugin display

I am having problems with dscc connecting to my ldap server and displaying the plugins that are currently active.
When i run the dscc enable-plugin "plugin name" its shows that it is enabled.
The user id i am using to connect to my ldap server is cn=admin,cn=administrators,cn=dscc user.
I can definitely ldapsearch for the plugins.
Am i missing something?

Bonjour Gregoire,
Yes, you should install the Directory Server plugin on all replicas.
The plugin on the read-only replicas participates in the on-demand password synchronization process: consider the case when a user BINDs to a read-only replica and the user's password is marked as invalid. In this case, the IdSync plugin in the read-only replica is the one that forwards this authentication request to the replication master (the master forwards the authentication to Active Directory).
If you can guarantee that no user authenticates at read-only replicas, then you can live with installing the plugin on the master server only.
