Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • Lost ability to right click multiple files and choose 'open with'

    In XP I can select a bunch of mp3 files, for example, right click and choose 'open with...' whatever application I want.
    In windows 7 I only get 'open with' in the context menu on single files. How do I enable 'open with' for a selection of files? Please tell me Windows 7 hasn't disabled this useful behaviour.

    Hi,
    You can change the register key to realize the function.
    For example, your mp3 player is windows media player, you can copy the following content (without quote) to the notepad and save it with the “.reg” extension.
    The context is below:
    Warning: While this procedure might solve the issue or problem, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. For more information about modifying the registry, see Microsoft support article 256986.
    “Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open with]
    @="open with player"

    You should change the bold text with the path of your player. After you’ve changed the key, you can right click the chosen MP3 files and choose “open with player” to play the music.
    If you still have some problems, please post here.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • Preview pdf files in the desktop with Adobe Reader Touch .. is it possible?

    preview pdf files in the desktop with Adobe Reader Touch
    .. is it possible?

    Windows Store apps (including Adobe Reader Touch) do not offer the preview capability in the desktop environment.  That's just how Microsoft has set up.  So you need traditional desktop apps.
    Because your operating system is Windows 8 (not Windows RT), you can find a lot of desktop apps that are compatible with Windows 7 and 8.  (For Windows RT, only built-in Microsoft Office products are available for desktop apps.  But that's not the case here.)
    You can download Adobe Reader XI (which is also a free PDF viewer) from the following Adobe Reader download page
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and install it on your Windows 8 desktop.  (Note for Windows RT users: Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT.)
    In case you have any questions about Adobe Reader XI (desktop app), you can visit the Adobe Reader forum.

    Hi,
    I am facing the same problem. Please help me out. I just want to read a PDF file as bytes from one location and write it as another pdf file in some other location with a diolog box prompting to open or save in the location where we want.
    I executed the following code:
    try{
    File report =new File(location);
    BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(report));
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + report.getName());
    OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
    int readlen;
    byte buffer[] = new byte[ 256 ];
    while( (readlen = in.read( buffer )) != -1 )
    outs.write( buffer, 0, readlen );
    outs.flush();
    outs.close();
    in.close();
    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
    PrintWriter out= response.getWriter();
    out.print("<center><Font color = 'RED'><b>"+PxDSLUtils.getApplicationProperty("label.error.CTM_E017")+"</b></Font></center>");
    Though it prompts with open, save dialog box when i try to open directly or when i save it some where locally and then open it i am getting the following message " File is repaired ot damaged.Operation failed." Any idea about what can be done??? Its very urgent.Please suggest.
    I am not convetin to string just reading and writng as bytes itself.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mani

  • Please help with problem in PDF file and printing

    I have created an Illustrator file with a logo on it. The logo looks fine in Illustrator (CS3 and CS5). If I use "save as" to then save the .ai file to a .pdf file, the logo looks the same as in the .ai file. However, if I use "print" to create a .pdf file, the logo sometimes loses some of the elements in it.
    Here is what the logo should look like:
    Below is what it looks like when I use "print" to generate the PDF file:
    An additional problem is that even if I used "save as" to generate the pdf file, some times, when the file is actually printed physically onto paper, the logo appears in the wrong version (although it looks right on screen).
    Can someone help me with this? I am quite desparet right now because I can't see how I can control this.
    Also, is there any way I can attached the .ai file so someone can look at it?
    The white lines that disappear are not "lines" they are a slightly larger shape placed behind the smaller black one in fonrt.
    Thanks for any help!

    Why are you "printing to pdf"? Does "Save As" yield better results?

  • ITS: How to download a PDF file and provide it with a filename !??

    Hi everybody,
    I habve created an Zservice that Prints spools requests. Now it should be extend to allow download as a pdf file as well.
    What are the options here !?
    I am aware of mime-download and it works fine but it has certain limitations despite it opens up the pdf just fine the in IE window.
    -- No custom filename can be provided
    -- Opens up in the same window can only escape w/ back button
    I would need something that would allow the following:
    -- Either to select file location etc. or being abale to set correct file location
    -- Possible open pdf file in a new window...
    I assume that a combination of different things need to be done here...
    Any suggestions !?

    Hey David,
    that seems about what I would need :
    Open or saving it in a separated dialog/window/application
    Being able to provide a filename (which can be a BHtml variable)
    But I do not have a clue how I can get it implemented ...what needs to be done !?
    Although iot seems to be the way to go...but how !??

  • File and Printer Sharing with Bonjour and Rendevouz

    have a new IMac Intel Core with Tiger and a Power PC G4.
    Using wireless router at the G4, I want to share files and

    If you are running any firewall, try disabling that. Make sure all computer's are set to same workgroup. Also turn on built on firewall on vista, and xp. Turn defender off on vista. Then try to ping and check for replys.

  • File and printer sharing with new router WRT100

    I have a desktop PC running XP media center home edition hardwired to the router and a wireless laptop running Vista basic. About a year ago I was able to set up a wireless home network. I was thrilled to find out I could share files and a printer between the 2 PC's. Everything was working well until last week when my router died. I replaced the router with WRT100 and both PC's are back online but I lost file sharing. I am NOT technical and know little about PC's. I just stumble along. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. I changed no seetings  on my computers except what was needed to install the new router.    What I do know is that the network wizard  is telling me the network is set up but when I go into a folder I want to share there is no tab that says "share file on the network". (when this tab was there I checked it and the under the folder an icon would appear to show the folder was shared on the network between the 2 computers).
    I can share the files within the PC with other users but not on the network with my other computer. I checked all the settings and cannot find a problem. I tried to ping the computer but got an error.  Stuff was sent but not received, whatever that means???
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....
