  • Clear Type compatibility with Adobe Reader 11.0.5

    In Windows 7 Ultimate, on screen text for all pdfs using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 is terrible with Clear Type turned on, and not much better with it turned off. But without Clear Type on, text in other programs is lousy.
    It seems like a compatibility issue between Windows 7 Clear Type and Adobe Reader 11.0.5.
    What can be done?

    Hello, it seems incredible that no one answer to this question, I have the same problem in Windows 7, Adobe Reader does not support ClearType but fortunately there are other programs to display PDF as SumatraPDF or Foxit Reader, hopefully in future updates resolve this problem. Greetings

  • 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..

  • Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

    Hi
    I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
    I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
    Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)

    With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
    The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
    Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:

    And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

    That is not an option of Adobe Reader, but the way a PDF is created.

  • Adobe Reader Will not open any Type of PDF

    I resent days I have had to deal with my Adobe Reader X not wanting to open and show any type of PDF's whether it is from a downloaded file to a PDF that is being opened on the web.  It will give me a blank black screen and tells me that adobe reader is unavailable and should be restarted and when I do this is still does not want to open anything.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled every adobe format on my computer and it still will not open a PDF and not I am left to wonder what is going on.  If there anyone else that is having his problem at this time?

    My system is windows 7 32-bit

  • Changing file type API to open with Adobe Reader 9.2

    In windows XP, if I go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins, it shows the API extension to be File Type AcroExch.plugin
    This seems to be because Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed first on the PC, then Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC.
    On a clean PC, if I install Adobe Reader 9.2, then the file type becomes API file.
    How do I change the file type from AcroExch.plugin to API file?

    I want to do this because I have a 3rd party plugin which will not work otherwise.
    The 3rd party plugin is FileOpen Installer.
    http://plugin.fileopen.com
    If Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC first, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached JPG Adobe Reader 9 Plugin working.jpg
    FileOpen Plugin works with the above situation.
    Note that it is a 3rd party supplier which sends files which require the 3rd party Plugin FileOpen and a test document is here
    http://fileopen.bl.uk:8008/FileOpenFreeLink-1.0/entryPage.do;jsessionid=FADC8178CCD0236480 199338A79483E7
    If Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed on the PC first and the Adobe Reader 9.2, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached Adobe Reader 9 Plugin Problem.jpg and the test file sent by the British Library above will not open.
    You get the following when you try to open the British Library test file (see British Library2.jpg)
    FileOpen is installed as a 3rd Party Plugin in Adobe Reader 9.2 and I can see this under Help About 3rd Party Plugins FileOpen Installer.
    (Note Adobe Acrobat 5 runs via a network install and is not installed onto the workstation so I can't remove it via Add/Remove Programs).
    So I am guessing the problem is to do with the API file type being different when Adobe Acrobat 5 is installed first?
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

    On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
    I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account.  If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
    I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
    If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document.  If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
    This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.
    I'm using Adobe Reader XI v11.0.10
    I'm using Windows 8.1
    Is anyone encountering this same issue with outlook?

    I copied it again.  Do you see it?  BTW, how do I set privacy?  (I'm new at this)

    It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
    If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X
