Unable to change preferences for Adobe Reader 9.4.2 on Ubuntu 11.04

I installed Adobe Reader 9 via the Ubuntu Software Center. The installed files are located at /opt/Adobe/Reader9/
The reader runs ok except when I want to change some preferences, I've found that I can only view Preferences, but I cannot change it. All options are protected including the Cancel and OK buttons. I can only close the Preferences window.
Is it just a simple permission (chmod on some files) issue?
Many thanks.

If you have the latest updates, then Acrobat Reader 9.4.2 does (at least) partially work in Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity.
There are a number of minor glitches - due to changes in Ubuntu's undelying GUI, kernal, etc. in the upgrde to Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
- floating scroll bars (only appearing when you hover mouse-cursor)
DOES NOT WORK: Does not scroll page ..
You may need to disable this feature. (in CCSM)
- Edit >> Preferences
This tries to work, but loses focus. I can see the Cancel and Ok buttons, but they don't do anyhting.
This is a GTK+ library issue, and an update to 9.4.2+ is needed.
Summary: There are a number of minor GUI issues that haev existed in 9.4.x for Linux. The update to Gnome 3 and Unity (for Ubuntu 11.10) has definitely made this much worse.

The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

Forum support for Adobe Reader

Hi. I have Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 installed on a Windows OS. It's a nice program, in most respects, and lately it seems to be improving too. However, it is creating one very annoying problem for me. Every single time I start it up to read a pdf file, it wants to connect to the internet. This should not be happening because I have not configured it for doing so. In the menu item Edit, Prefences, Updater, I have selected the option "Do not download or install updates automatically." Also, since I have my firewall configured not to allow this action, I have to now deliberately stop what I am doing and click on buttons to deny the internet connection. To say that this is annoying, is, well, a gross understatement. How can I prevent it from recurring? Thanks.
Wouldn't it be swell if there were an option, while making a post on this forum, to be notified by email whenever I got a response. Jim dandy swell, I think, and efficient.

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

Unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10

We are unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10.
The OS is Windows 7.
Thanks for your help!

Actually, my reply is clear as mud. I'll try again.
If you link from H:\Drawings\System Drawings (Drawings by LOB's)\Network Services\Scada-Wan Drawings\_CAD Files
to H:\Drawings\Site Dwgs\site name
you will get a relative path of ..\..\..\..\..\Site Dwgs\site name.
Clearly this will not work if you move the source file anywhere.
You MUST do one of the following
1. Force an abolute link by linking to a file on an entirely different disk.
2. Maintain at all times the relative relationship between source and target (this doesn't necessarily mean working on live files, but requires COMPLETE coplies of development and live files, with links made within the development files only).

Files for Adobe Reader Cause Crash

Every time I try to open a file for adobe reader, whether I get it embedded in my browser or download it from the internet either Safari crashes or Adobe Reader application crashes no matter what it is. I switched to firefox because Safari kept unexpectedly quitting constantly and it was becoming so frequent that I couldn't even do anything. Any advice on how to get the adobe reader plugin for safari to work(which i did install)? Or how to get any files to work? My friend has this same problem on her iBook, too.

Hello David:
First, I would trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart. Then I would uninstall the current Adobe reader you have installed (get all of it) and then download the latest version from the Adobe web site. FWIW, I have no trouble at all with either safari or reading PDF files.

Problem with enabling usage rights for Adobe Reader

Hi All,
I have designed a form using Live cycle. From Live cycle I export it as PDF. As a final step, I open the PDF by using acrobat professional to enable usage rights for Adobe Reader. As soon as I enble the rights it saves the document with a different name, which is fine. However; at the same time it also runs the postsave events from the form and removes a couple of objects. How do I avoid this? My form has very little code:
There is a drop down field called 'LearningSolutionsAdvisor' which has the following code on PostSave event:
NewHorizons.Page1.LearningSolutionsAdvisor::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
LearningSolutionsAdvisor.access ="readOnly"
There is 'Save' button which has the following code:
NewHorizons.Page1.Save::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
NewHorizons.Page1.Save::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
Save.presence = "invisible"
I thank you for your help in advance.
Regards,
Girish

This video is very helpful as it explains exactly what I want to do: Extend Features in Adobe Reader, to allow my readers to save their changes. However, I do not have that option in my version of Adobe X Pro 10.1.4. Can anyone explain to me why I don't have that option, and what an alternative would be?

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

How to install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X

Hi guys, just question that how to silencely install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X?
I know some silence switch as below:
setup.exe /sAll /rs
=> Silencely install all supported languages
setup.exe /sAll /rs /sl "xxxx" (xxxx is LANG ID)
=> Silencely install one specified language only (defined by LANG ID)
Question:
If I would like to silencely install several specified languages, is there any other switch to do that?
Thank you all in advance.

And I used the switch of "Setup.exe /sAll /rs /ini "setup.ini""
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thank you.
