Search Term Issues when passed as Parameters in Opening a PDF file in Browser (Updated)

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if there is a solution to the following issue.
We are working with PDF files that have been OCRed (invisible text layer). We use a search engine to search the PDFs for terms. We then pass the search terms as a parameter to the PDF when we are opening it in Acrobat or Reader in the browser. It brings up a list of instances and the context in which it is found -- much like the native search function -- but it is not possible to only search for the exact phrase when it is passed as a variable..
In some cases, what we see are two lists -- so it has the filename with a list underneath that is expanded showing search results, and then a second instance of the file name after that list, but it is collapsed.
Is there a way to just have one list or both lists expanded at the same time?
Also, is there a way to ensure that it shows instances where more search keywords are found at the top of the list.
For example, if we pass the search phrase "wanted to buy a car" it might show instances of "to" at the top of the list, but later on in the collapsed list it might show instances of "buy a car".  Again, is it possible to prioritize the results, or at the very least, expand everything? I am not sure what else we can try.
thank you,
Jeremy
Follow up: I should note that some times the two lists appear to be the same or similar terms found twice. At the top it would say 2 documents with n instances (where n is the number of instances). I have noticed this when the search keyword count goes up.
Follow up #2: It appears that this occurs more often when using more than 2 keywords, but I have seen it happen with only 2 words.

There were documents available in the knowledgeable that I no longer have the urls for. I have had communication with Adobe Acrobat support personnel that have made the same statements. I do not have the habit  of asking official Adobe tech support people to prove their statements by providing documentation. I have also seen Adobe employees give presentations on computers that have had both installed. When they were asked about the incompatibility, they did say the equivalent of phooey. However, enough people on this forum have had their problems disappear when they have removed one of the two programs that I feel comfortable giving that advice. Yes some people have no problems running both until one of the programs or a system component gets updated and then things stop working. My advice is not to have both on the same computer. When two programs share system calls and can fight over who gets to handle the call it makes sense that it can cause a problem. It doesn't make a difference if it is Reader and Acrobat or any two other programs you run. If you are not having a problem with running both GREAT. However, if you are running both and have a problem, it is a simple step to eliminate one and see if the problem disappears.

    In that case, you need to update the Acrobat Version at your end. Click on Help -> Check for Updates. Download and install the updates. Make sure your version is 9.5.1

  • When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes

    When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.

    Some things to try...
    Update Reader to version 11.0.06
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Issue with Opening a PDF file

    We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
    After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
    If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
    If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
    We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
    Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
    Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi there,
    Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

    That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361).

    Hi,
    If you are able to open the same document earlier,then  anonymous access enabled on your doc library then.
    If you are facing this problem in first time,then you do not have required permission (may be custom permission level has been set ) on it.

  • What is the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf

    I need help in finding the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf(s)? The software is written in Delphi.

    The Copy Protection only protects our Disk from being duplicated and also protects our Software from being copied and used locally.
    As far as the password encryption, that is why I created the Post. I was hoping that the password can be coded in our Software to open the password protect PDF that we create. This option would of gave us the security for when the customer copies the pdf to there local drive they would be required to input the password which they would not have access to.

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

    I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

    ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO  CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
    WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2  BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
    It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
    SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
    1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
    AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
    WHILE IN ADOBE READER  I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
    Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
    Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
    2. Operating System = Windows 7.
    3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
    Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..
