Saved PDFs remain 'open' until Acrobat X Pro exits.

Any number of PDF files created or edited by Acrobat X Pro then saved and closed (Ctrl+F4) nevertheless remain 'open' -- ALL of them. None can be moved, renamed or deleted by Windows Explorer or accessed by other Windows applications (e.g. Quicken).
Only completely exiting the Acrobat application actually 'closes' these files.
Acrobat X Pro did NOT exhibit this behavior until some weeks ago, so some minor update of Acrobat or Windows would seem a likely cause.
This is Acrobat X Pro 10.1.6 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1.
Please advise.

There have been posts about the problem for quite some time. It has not been repaired. There is apparently an issue with Acrobat releasing the file in Windows OS. I think this problem may be OS dependent. As far as I know it is not an issue on the MAC.

File formatting issues when saving PDF as PPTX in Acrobat XI Pro

Hi guys,
I have some issues when I'm saving my PDF (initially comming from InDesign) as PPTX. The format is suddenly changing, leaving a blank zone, and some of the pages are rotated.
Is it a problem comming from the Indesign or from the Acrobat options itself? I have already tried changing the chekboxes in the option box when I'm saving, but nothing worked.
If someone has an idea how to fix that, i would be very grateful! Thanks in advance

Which dot version of Acrobat XI are you currently using in your export? Is the PDF file tagged? If not, then you may want to tag the PDF file before exporting it.

Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
Also worth noting.
I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Unable to Open Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat Reader

I used to be bale to open PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X Pro but now I cannot. I can still see PDF files with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, but Abode Reader nor Adobe Acrobat X Pro will open. I can still create PDF file (with other programs) but Adobe Reader and Acrobat X Pro will not open. I can't even open the program to deactiviate the serial number. I tried using the Repair option under Control Panel but that didn't fix the problem. What should I do?
Currently Windows 7, using Creative Suite 6 (comes with In-design, photoshop...etc and Adobe Acrobat X Pro).

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool, reinstall Acrobat.

Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
Anything else I could try before paying?

I have same problem as described above, but not always. Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America. Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish. i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.
. Various computers,
. same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
. Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
. Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy

How to convert XPS file to a PDF one via Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with command line?

Hello,
How to convert XPS file to a PDF one via Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with command line?

It is not good. If I need to export some hundred of separate *.XPS files to hundred separate *.PDF files, I need to do this manually with each file. It is stone age.

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

Hi-
Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

Any chance you are also using Quickbooks? I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between Quickbooks and Acrobat 9. My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit. According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8. So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8. The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully. Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
The problem is not in opening Acrobat. It opens just fine. It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

Pdf's no longer opening in Acrobat X Pro

In the last two weeks or so, users have reported that where PDFs in libraries used to open in Acrobat Pro client, now the pdfs only open in browser.
We've checked the library and it's still set to Open in client Application.
In Internet options, pdfs are set to open in acrobat pro.
In Acrobat Pro's prefs, Acrobat Pro is set to be the default file handler for PDF.
we need to be able to get people who need to open direct into the client app working again.
anyone know of recent events that could have changed the behavior?

Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

PDFs take forever to open in Acrobat X Pro...

How do I get my local pdfs to open faster in Acrobat X Pro?
Acrobat 7 Standard was much faster.

You have both Adobe Reader (which offers one kind of conversion, paid for one way), and Adobe Acrobat Pro (which offers another kind of conversion, paid another way). Be sure you understand that these are two different bits of software, and that you can and must choose which one to use.

Saved PDFs remain 'open' until Acrobat X Pro exits.
