Unable to use Adobe Reader. "Reader has finished searching the document. No matches were found."
I can use Adobe Reader on some documents but not all. I believe I have downloaded the correct software. I am using Firefox on a Mac with 10.8.4
Can anyone help?

Are these scanned documents? If scanned documents have not been OCR-ed, then they are just images without any searchable text.
Try if you can highlight any text in such documents.

Error message: Your trial has expired. Unable to use adobe reader to open PDF's.

I have reinstalled the reader several times and keep getting the same error message. My CS6 is working fine.

Does the error actually say "Unable to use Adobe Reader..."?
If not, it could be that you have the trial version of Acrobat installed and were using it to open PDF's instead of Reader (Reader doesn't have a trial)?
If so, you can change your file associations to open PDF's with Reader (how to do this varies by your OS) or install Reader.

Unable to use Adobe Reader on some PDFs -- Please Help

Hi. I have a new HP laptop. It uses Windows 7. I have Adobe Reader -- I had 9.0 and was having problems so took it back to the store and they have now loaded 9.3. It is hit or miss on opening some pdfs. The only error message I get is that "there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please try again. I am not technically oriented, and this is very frustrating. I tried to call Adobe and they said that I need to work off of this forum.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Using adobe reader SDK to search in PDF

Hi,
can someone please help me, iam trying to create a program (using c#) that displays a pdf, and searches for words inside the pdf file, the search iam programming is in arabic language (which is completely different than english).
i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
i saw something about the plugins and javascript, iam good at javascript, but did not now how to implement the javascript code in c# program.
by the way, is creating free programs that uses adobe reader as a COM object needs a license? or it is free to distribute?
Thanks very much.

>i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
I think that's right. Think of the SDK as primarily a marketing tool
for Acrobat and the position may be simpler to see.

You need Acrobat Professional to run JavaScript from an external
program.
You could write plug-ins but would need to obtain a special license to
write plug-ins for Adobe Reader; Acrobat is needed for development.

Adobe Reader only offers the AxAcroPDF interface. You can freely
distribute code that uses this interface.
Note that I am not saying that you can freely distribute Adobe Reader:
there are some restrictions on this.

How can I tell when a JEditorPane has finished loading the document?

Hi!,
I've got a JEditorPane connected to a viewport and a couple of scrollbars, and I realy need to know when the JEditorPane has completed loading the document, so that I can decide whether to turn on or off the scrollbars.
When I try to check the viewport.getView().getWIdth() right after calling setText() or setPage() the values come out wrong... is there an eventHandler that I can register ?
thanks in advance
-Miguel

OK, I'm not an expert. But, why set the scrollbars manually? Would it not be easier to put the JEditPane in a JScrollPane with the scroll policy set to "as needed"?

Firefox 6.0.2 cannot open pdf's using adobe reader

Dear all,
Firefox seems unable to use adobe reader to display pdf's. I've set Firefox to use adobe reader and I've set adobe reader to accept use within a browser.

Thanks for the replies. Dave, thanks for the really helpful link.
The problem that this has created is for some guys who are previously sending reports (multiple pdf's/portfolio) to their clients in a hassle free way since it only requires the client (recipient) to have Adobe Reader installed. Now it requires another program as it was sort of separated from the Reader family. Previously, instead of having the ussual coversheet for the PDF portfolio to include that it is best to view on the latest version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat, will now need to include the latest version of Flash player as well.
I have not tested yet, though probably on another topic, but does this also affect if you are planning to open a PDF created in Indesign and given the format of "page flip"?
Dave, do you have any tips on a possible workaround or atleast creating a pdf portfolio or any PDF document with SWF/flash capability to be user friendly or less hassle for a recipient to open?
I am really sorry if I have a lot of questions =(

Unable to print PDF documents & then unable to download Adobe Reader

Help,
I tried to print a PDF document this morning and received the message "The document could not be printed". I clicked OK and received a further message "There were no pages selected to print". My printer will still print word documents, emails and DVD covers produced using Nero Cover Design Essentials.
I have the latest version of Adobe reader 11.0.07. I went to the Adobe site and repaired Adobe Reader but it made no difference.
I therefore decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall it from the Adobe site. It downloaded OK but when I tried to install it I got the following message "Error: General Installation Error". I was using Mozilla Firefox so tried the same with Internet Explorer, with the same result.
I then downloaded the full Adobe reader from File Hippo, but still got an error message when I tried to install it (see below).
So I have gone from bad to worse and don't even have Adobe reader on my PC any more. The problem only surfaced this morning and last night I uninstalled two programs I decided I didn't need any more; Auslogics Disc Defrag and AVG PC Tuneup, but don't understand how uninstalling them could have caused the problem.
Regards,
Barry

Hi again Pat,
I checked the permissions in my Temp folder and there were none. So I ticked all the boxes, but when I ticked OK I got the permission denied message again, so the problem is still tied to me not having administrator privileges. Strange thing is that even though I was denied permission, the boxes still stayed ticked. However nothing has changed as far as my problems are concerned.
It would appear to me that the answer is to get my administrator privileges back, but I have been unsuccessful in that so far. I purchased a complete PC from a good supplier but the Windows 7 setup disc that came with it does not have the "Repair Your Computer" function on it, which I understand would allow me to sort out my administrator privileges? When I rang Microsoft and asked if there was any way I could obtain that function, by download or otherwise, they weren't at all interested as I hadn't purchased Windows 7 directly from them.
As for downloading Adobe Reader via the MSI folder, I don't need to do that because when I recovered my backup from an earlier period I once more had Adobe Reader. I can use Adobe Reader to open a PDF document but it would appear I must have administrator privileges in order to print a PDF document, which was how the situation was before I decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and download a new version. I can print any other type of document so obviously Adobe demands more before it will allow printing.
In the early stages I also downloaded Foxit Reader, as I had read good things about it, but again, for the same reasons, I could not install it.
I have googled "problem with loss of admin privileges" and got a lot of hits. I will try some of the suggestions that don't appear too complex, but if they fail I will go back to the supplier. I have to sort it. I have seen suggestions about starting a new account but am not sure what to do there, or indeed, if I should do that.
Thanks for all the attempts to help me so far,
Barry

Unable to use Adobe Acrobat Reader and/or install version 8.1.2.

I was unable to use my adobe reader so I tried to download 8.1.2 and during installation I get the 1417 error message saying unable to remove version 8.1.2. Will not let me finish the installation process?

I have Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 and IE 7, and I cannot install Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I got all these error messages: Windows Installer, The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Norton Antivirus 2005 disk and click OK - (Didn't work.) Error 1714 The older version of Adobe Reader 8.1.2 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Setup failed.
When I tried to install msicuu2.exe, Error Message: Windows Script Host Active X component can't create object: 'WScript.Shell' Source Microsoft VB Script Runtime Error.
I edited the registry and remove all versions of Adobe Reader, shut down all software, and still was unable to load Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I contacted my "technical support group" which is HP in India, and they were worthless on this issue. Any help would sure be appreciated as I cannot open any jpg documents.

Unable to enter login information to a password protected ebook on my Nook HD+ using adobe reader.

Unable to enter login information to a password protected ebook on my Nook HD+ using adobe reader. Would anyone be able to assist me as I am unable to get any help elsewhere and I need to be able to access this ebook for school.
Thanks

Yes, I have contacted my school and they stated they do not support Nook. I called Nook and they said I would have to deregister, etc. as they are unable to determine what is wrong. I tried to pull the document on my phone now and have not been able to do so. I read the "Getting Started" and it states I should be able to fill out the form, which would be to provide my login information, but am not able to do so. Maybe this has to do with the android part. Thank you for providing that information as I did not even think about trying my phone too. So as this did not work on there, my last conclusion is that it would now be the Adobe issue. Hopefully this can be fixed as I need to read my document for school and would hate to have to sit behind my computer and not able to take my Nook or phone to read elsewhere.

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work? Is there any other way to recover it? Thanks!

Hi @Pat Willener,
since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!
