Start adobe Reader by VB6

Hello,
to start Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) in VB6 by set AcroApp = createObject("AcroExch.App") and open a Document by set AVDoc = chreatObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") and AVDoch.open "c:\test.pdf". That's O.K.
When I start this way with a Reader-installation, then I take runtime error "429" by set set AcroApp = createObject("AcroExch.App")
How can I get the Reader Application per VB? Is there any chance?
Thanks for your answers

Then I must look to an other way.

How can I turn off the blue tips that pop up every time I start Adobe Reader?

Every time I start Adobe Reader XI, or every time I double-click a PDF file from another program, a blue bubble pops up under the "Open" portion of the toolbar that says "Easily open all your files across devices" and I cannot make it stop.
I have:
- Unchecked "Show me messages when I launch Reader" in Preferences/General/Messages form Adobe
- Checked "Don't show messages while reviewing a document" in Preferences/General/Messages form Adobe
How can I make this stop displaying?
Thanks.

This was strange. To be honest, I had never clicked the large "open" folder icon on the left of the toolbar. Once I did it showed me three options: Recent Files, My Computer, and Acrobat.com Files (cloud storage).
After actually looking at this feature, and then closing and opening Acrobat Reader again, the blue pop-up does not appear anymore. I closed and opened Acrobat Reader several times and it does not appear anymore. Apparently, it's a prompt to get you to look at the feature and prompts you until you do. I'm not sure why it does not appear on your screen. Perhaps a feature that is available only to "newer" versions of Windows (7+)?
I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Error when starting Adobe reader 11 App-V package

How do I disable Acrobat reader for checking if the ARM Service is present?
I have created an app-v 5.0 package for Acrobat reader 11. When I run the package on the sequencer I don't have any issues. When I run it on my test machine I get a pop-up stating "There was an error during installation. An internal
error occurred."
I have already tried removing the reg keys in the package that refer to ARM, but this hasn't worked.
Is there a step I need to take before sequencing that will resolve this?
Thanks for the help. Event log entry follows.

Adobe has an how-to for that;
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/appv.html, though it doesn't refer to the ARm service. Firthermore it is written for App-V 4.x,
so the steps may be a little bit different.

Starting Adobe Reader with ShellExecute fails

Hi,
When I try and run open a PDF with shell execute and Adobe Reader being the default application, the PDF opens an Adobe Reader and then Reader crashes about five seconds afterwards with a Visual C++ error. I'm trying this in a 64bit Windows 7 enviroment.
From checking process monitor, it looks like Adobe reader is trying to access the systemprofile directories which is being denied. If I give everyone permissions to these folders it works again.
Open the PDF from explorer works fine.
Any help, clues or hints anyone?
thanks a lot!
Andy.

Hey,
I think I've found the root cause and can't easily test the broken code anymore.
I did try running it it compatibility mode originally though and it did solve the problem. It also said that protected mode was disabled when I was running the app in compatibility mode, so I asume that turning off protected mode would also be a work around.
The cause I think was that when using shell execute, the users enviromental variables were not being loaded by Adobe Reader. This is confirmed by checking the Adobe Reader process with process monitor. I could see that Reader was looking in SystemProfile folders to read and write, which of course is not right and quite rightly being denied. I think it was these denials that causes the crash.
My solution is to load the users enviromental block and using StartProcessAsUser instead. This means that Reader gets the right enviroment and starts to look in the users APPDATA folder rather than system profile.
Any comments may be interesting!
Ta,
Andy.

Cannot start Adobe Reader 8 on WinXP

For months, Adobe Reader 8 was working fine. I'm not sure what changed, but a couple of weeks ago, it quit working at all.
* When I double-click the Reader icon on my desktop, nothing happens.
* When I double-click a .pdf file, nothing happens.
* When I open a .pdf file from a web page, I receive the following error message: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." Trying again, of course, does not help.
I repaired Reader, removed and reinstalled it, removed and reinstalled it in safe mode, and even went back and deleted old folders and registry files left over from Reader 4.0. Nothing works.
I had a similar problem with Reader 7. Never got it to work at all.
Adobe Photoshop CS and ImageReady are also installed on my computer. They've been there for a long time, with no recent changes.
Any ideas?

I was able to open Adobe Reader using a different admin account, so I exported the HKCU/Software/Adobe key and subkeys to a .reg file. When I logged into my usual admin account, I could not merge the .reg file.
Turns out the HKCU/Software/Adobe/Adobe Reader key was locked for some reason. My admin account only had Read permission for that key and its subkeys. So I right-clicked the key, clicked Permissions, clicked Advanced, and changed the permissions for the Administrators group to Full Control. I then repeated that process for all of the subkeys.
After that, I could merge the .reg file, and Adobe Reader worked fine.

Can't start or uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3

When I try to start Adobe reader I get an error message that jusy says "an internal error occured"
Also I get errors when I try to uninstall it or update it. Total frustration. Can anyone help?

How did you get this copy of Reader 9.3 ? Did you install it yourself or it cam pre-bundeled with your machine? What is the version of Windows OS you are using
Try running repair from Control-Panel->Add/Remove Programs, it might fix the launch issue.

Adobe reader crashes when opening, both local and from Firefox

Running Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.    Adobe 9.3 crashes Firefox when I attempt to view a downloaded pdf. When I start adobe reader from Windows "Start" it begins to start with Adobe ID screen, then stops with no other effect or error message.
Reader 9.3 worked successfully for months. Problem started after computer maintenance and cleaning up of excess files and services running in the background. I have not experienced problems with any other programs.
When the problem arose I uninstalled with Windows Add/Remove Program. Rebooted then reinstalled 9.3. Same problem.
I used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up adobe. Notice that many files and folders still exist in /Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0 , so I renamed folder to "OLD Reader 9.0"
Reinstalled 9.3 ....still did not work. Uninstalled, rebooted, then installed Reader 8.2. Still not working.
Somewhere in the process I also uninstalled Adobe Air and Acrobat.com.
What would cause Adobe Reader to not fully start, and to crash Firefox when it does try to start as a plug-in? How can I manually uninstall ALL of Adobe Reader?
Thanks for any input,
Mark

Ok, I just went to start up Reader 8.0, it failed with no event on screen. Event viewer gave me no report under Application. Under System I found a slewof these...
Thoughts?? Thank you,

Can't open a pdf within browser with newest version of Adobe Reader

After installing Adobe Reader 9.3 I can't view links to a PDF file. I get this message.
'The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to veiw PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.'
How can get to the PDF file on the internet if you are not in a browser?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm actually having the same problem on several computers running both Windows XP sp3 and Windows 7. I've deployed a customized installation created in Adobe Customization Wizard (basicly just turned off the Adobe Online/Registration options in the menu). WinXP use IE6 and Win7 naturally IE8.
I'm going to try and find a solution to this and I will get back to you if I do find one.
In the mean time you can start Adobe Reader, go to the "Edit" menu and select "preferences", find the option "Internet" on the left menu and remove the option for "View PDF's in web browser".
Edit:
Actually, I found this in case you haven't found it yourself yet: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405461.html
Unfortunately that doesn't help me much, since I need to figure out why the installer won't do it properly. So if anyone else have an idea about this it would be appreciated if you could share your knowledge.

Adobe Reader 8.1.1 does not remember Duplex setting

Restarting the old thread.
Some techinical issues have rendered the earlier post read only.
Johnapp - 12:03pm Oct 9, 2007 Pacific
I am printing with CUPS under Ubuntu Feisty and I have defined a HP Laserjet-4Si-4Si-MX-600-dpi printer/driver and set the default duplex setting within the CUPS system to long edge binding.
However, every time I start Adobe Reader 8.1.1, the properties window for that printer shows Duplex Printing: Off. If I change it in that dialog, it is remembered as long as the program stays open, but after closing and starting fresh, this is again set to off.
Since I nearly always want to duplex-print this is extremely annoying.
Is there a way to set the default within the Adobe Reader program? Is there some way to pass settings to the program or to force a setting for this through a configuration file?
The documentation of these issues is extremely lacking, not to say entirely missing, it seems.
Rishi Oberoi - 2:54am Oct 10, 07 PST (#1 of 3)
hi johnapp,
We are not able to reproduce the problem at our end.
Can you please try out the following things at your end. It will help us in isolating the issue.
Is the above behaviour also happening with properies other than "Duplex"?
What happens if you press the "Defaults" button on the properties dialog? Does the "Long Edge Binding" option comes up on hitting the "Defaults" button?
Regards,
Rishi
Johnapp - 5:22am Oct 10, 07 PST (#2 of 3)
Yes, all the properties in the properties dialog are affected: page size, input bin, output bin, duplex printing. After restarting the program the same happens as pressing the "Defaults" button, setting all these values to specific values, of which the duplex setting is "off" and unwanted and different from what I defined in the printer configuration dialog of the OS.
Neha Seth - 4:00am Oct 11, 07 PST (#3 of 3)
Hello,
Could you please try the following steps and let us know your observations?
1) Go to the CUPS page (http://localhost:631) and change the default values of PageSize to "A2", Duplex to "Long Edge Binding", Resolution to "300dpi" and apply the changes. Please take a screenshot of the settings here.
2) Launch Reader 8.1.1 (after removing the $HOME/.adobe folder) and open the print dialog. Choose the printer for which defaults were set in step 1 and click on the "Properties" button. Are the values chosen above listed in the drop-down boxes here? Please take a screenshot here too.
3) What is the behavior on clicking the "Defaults" button now? Please take a screenshot after this step as well.
Could you please send the screenshots to nseth at adobe dot com? I know this is a slightly time-consuming exercise, but it would be great if you could try the above, since the issue reported by you is not reproducible at our end.
Sincerely,
Neha,

Scratch that, I got it to work.
Even though the following commands:
lpoptions -p printer-name -l | grep -i duplex
and
grep -i printer-name /etc/cups/lpoptions
were both showing duplex as the default on both the client and server side and despite the fact that the lp and lpr commands defaulted to double-sided, acroread and it turns out even evince were not.
I re-ran the command:
lpadmin -p printer-name -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
from the cups server for each of our duplex printers and now it looks to work fine.
I'm not sure how or when this happened but it sounds more like something I did or else an issue with cups (perhaps an update made something inconsistent?) than it does an acroread problem.
Thanks for your time,
Elliott

Adobe Reader 9/Mac OSX 10.5.4/Internal Error after installing

Just purchased a new iMac with OSX 10.5.4 installed. I have 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Acrobat Reader v8.x won't run, so downloaded and installed v9 from the official Adobe web site. When I attempt to launch Acrobat Reader 9 I get the message "An internal error has occurred." I cannot go any further or do anything else. I've downloaded Reader 9 several times but the same problem keeps happening. I also purchased a new MacBook and Reader 9 installs and runs on that machine without any problems. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening on my iMac? Without Acrobat Reader it can really be a drag trying to work with PDF's.

PDFs will not open in Browser with Adobe Reader 9

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) using IE7. I am using the 32-bit version of the browser. I have selected "Display PDF in browser" on the Internet settings tab of the Adobe Reader 9.
Every time I select a PDF document, it forces me to save the document to the hard drive and open it from the hard drive. It will not open the PDF in the browser. How do I fix this problem??
The above procedure did work in Windows XP (32-bit), but does not appear to work in Vista (64-bit).

I have a similar problem using Adobe Reader 9 with Vista 64. I am also using the 32 bit version of IE7. Every time I click on a pdf to open in IE7 the screen remains white without starting Adobe Reader 9 in IE7 browser window.
Using Adobe Reader independantly works without any problem. Only the IE7 plugin does not seem to work. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 but without any effect. Adobe Reader 8 works. How comes?

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (linux) hang at startup

We have a number of users who have reported hangs when trying to start Adobe Reader on our CentOS 4.5 linux workstations (CentOS 4.5 is a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.5 rebuild). When this occurs, the X-server is locked for a minimum of 10 seconds, sometimes longer, until the Reader window finally comes up.
I was able to duplicate this behavior on my desktop workstation; of course, once I tried to run the program through strace I no longer saw this behavior.
Have any other users here seen this behavior? Any idea what is causing it, or is there a workaround to mitigate the problem?
John Perkins

I was finally able to get an strace of a delayed acroread startup with the Xming xserver (displaying on Windows). I can't use XManager or Exceed (or similar products) when trying to display on a linux desktop.
The strace output I've collected suggests Adobe Reader is trying to
stat() all the font files available at startup time. We run with an AFS filesystem here, and some fonts are in AFS...so those fonts get cached on local disk when Adobe Reader first runs, and stat()'ing the font files goes much faster the next time around.
It may be necessary for us to move these font files to the local disk at some point to improve performance with Adobe Reader, and maybe with other apps.
Some detail as to how fonts are found could be helpful...does Reader try to generate a list of paths from the X-server somehow? Or does it find font paths some other way?
John

Adobe Reader 9 Mac - cannot copy images

I upgraded to Reader 9, and another person in our office is using 8 with the same problem. We can no longer copy images out of a PDF - when we try to paste an image that appeared to be copied we only get a gray box. We've tried many ways including pasting directly into Word or Excel, choosing 'New from Clipboard' in Photoshop Elements, creating a blank Photoshop file and pasting, etc. This has works perfectly in Acrobat 5.0 and in Reader 7.0.5 (which I have gone back to using - I'm sure glad I waited before removing it from my system!).
Any thoughts?

Change language back to English in Adobe Reader 9

How do I change the language back to English for Adobe Reader 9?

Hi,
Do you have the MUI version installed?
You can hold the Ctrl key and start Adobe Reader and try select the language.
If not (standard version), the easiest would be to uninstall your current Reader, then reinstall the English version.
