Reader XI pops up when dragging PDF file to email

System: Windows 7. Three windows are involved in this scenario:
1. Some document or other in Adobe reader XI, in the background
2. Windows Explorer on one side of the screen
3. New Outlook email being composed on the other side of the screen.
Sequence: I've found the PDF file that I want to send to someone, so I drag it from the Windows Explorer window to the Outlook window to attach it to the email I'm writing. If my mouse pointer goes over any open Reader XI window, that window immediately pushes to the front, obscuring the email window which I was aiming for.
Of course there are many workarounds for this, but the behaviour is both annoying and unnecessary. If I want to drop the PDF file in an obscured reader window, I can hover over the icon in the taskbar to bring the window to the front. This "me, me, me!" behaviour of Reader XI is crass.

Safari 5 changed a few things internally, and it broke BrowserPlus. A patch was made last week and is available here:
Mac:
http://github.com/downloads/browserplus/platform/BrowserPlus2.9.2full.dmg
Windows:
http://github.com/downloads/browserplus/platform/BrowserPlus2.9.2full.exe
Otherwise, you can uninstall BrowserPlus. The latest instructions for that are here:

Reader won't open when opening PDF file from third application

I need help. Adobe Reader (11.0.06, running on a fully updated 64bits Windows 8.1) only opens "raw", not when supposed to open itself to open a PDF file. In other words, when I click Adobe Reader's shortcut, it opens, but when I double-click a PDF file it does not, unless it was already open that way.
When that happens (i.e., when I open a PDF file and Adobe Reader doesn't start), I check on Process Explorer what is going on. What I see is a parent process ran from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "C:\Documents\file.pdf" and a subordinate process ran from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" --channel=172.1.761882444 --type=renderer "C:\Documents\file.pdf", eventhough no window exists, of course. When this is happening, even to open Reader through it's shortcut I have to kill both processes first.
I have already repaired the installation and nothing changed. Then I uninstalled it, rebooted and reinstalled fresh, and nothing changed either. I don't know what else to try. Can anyone help?
(Is there any info I can provide, some log or debug, etc.?)

Could someone download the pdf file and try it on Reader 9 and then on Reader X to see if they get the same results?

Reader X is blocked when open pdf file via click on file name

I have installed Reader X 10.0.0 (10.0.0.407) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.1 (9.4.0195.) on a Desktop and a Notebook (Win XP SP3).
In the case I click on a PDF file on both systems often (but not in any case, found no rule until yet ...) following happens:
- Click on PDF file (in file list of TotalCommader or Copernic Desktob Search)
- Reader X opens
- Document area gets white (not grey).
- Reader is blocked.
- I cannot braek this application - reboot is necessarry in any case (costs me lots of time).
Parallel to this behavieor I can open the same pdf document by Acrobat Pro without any problem.
This did never happen with Reader 9.4.1 - The reason must be Reader X.
Is this a known bug?

Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

Hi,
I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
Setup
Server OS:
Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
Other software:
Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
Symantec Antivirus 10.1
Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
The installation is clean (1 week old).
Problem description:
When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
Work-arounds tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
Turn DEP off
Solution:
Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
Best regards from Denmark!

Hi,
I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
Any further ideas at all?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Itunes locks up when syncing .pdf files from computer to ipad

When transfering .pdf files from PC to iPad, sync locks up.

After you open the Apps tab in iTunes, select Adobe Reader from the list of apps on the bottom list. On the right, you will be allowed to "add" files. Just drag and drop files onto that box and then hit sync. The next time you fire up Adobe Reader on your iPad, the files would be there for you.

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
Any advice would be welcome

Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
Hope that this fixes the issue.

Grey screen is displayed when loading pdf file in Adobe 11

Hi,
PDF file is not loaded in the adobe reader 11. Some time I am getting the grey screen instead of the pdf file. Some time my application is displaying the message saying that It is stopped working. its happening sporadically. But if I downgrade the Adobe reader to version 9, I am not getting the above said issue. Is this the known issue with Adobe reader 11. If it is known issue, any work around is available for it. Many persons using our product got affected because of this issue. pls help me to resolve the issue. I have attached the screen shot of the issue.

But from my application even if I open pdf file outside the browser also (meaning in the adobe reader), I am getting screen. I have attached the screenshot of error I am getting when I try to open the local pdf file. In my task manager I am able to see many process for adobe reader. Even I close the pdf file, the process is not closing.
Operating System: windows 7
IE version: 8
Adobe reader version: 11.0.3

When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.

Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Windows projector quits fullscreen when opening pdf file

Hi, hopefully someone on here can help with a problem I'm having.
I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.
I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!
Is there any fix for this?
Many thanks in advance.

I found a very simple solution here: http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2008/03/16/Problem-with-Fullscreen-Flash-Projectors

What is your Reader XI version?
Have you tried to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] ?

I have to zip pdf files to email them to someone with a PC. The problem is they aren't smaller after zipping and I can't email them. I tried adjusting the Quartz filter to the Reduce file size. Now they're smaller, but the recipient can't read them. Help!

I need to zip pdf files to email them to a PC user. The problem is file size is not reduced.
I tried zipping them in Win 7 (which I use via Parallels 7) and sending them to the Finder to email.
But lately nothing is reduced. I tried choosing the Reduce File Size option in the Quartz Filter when I save the doc. The file size was reduced. However, the recipient could not read the file. Everything was blurry.
Is there a solution?

I am having some PDF sizing issues also, I am a BETA tester for TurboCAD Mac, and with the usage of (public) version 5, I have had some scaling issues. I have had (auto sent) 15 plus crash reports, (available as text) and had posted my scenario within the "lion- problems so far" article, so not to use up extra bandwith- or whatever- there are pictures there. I was not able to upload a PDF on site, and the staff @ Turbo CAd is working on it also. this is Lion specific new update, as I have posted many large format PDF's
Here (edit to add url)
Thanks for the helps!
