Updating problems for Adobe Reader

Help please... why can't I update the Adobe Reader 8 to Adobe Reader 11 on my Windows XP? I haven't updated AR for a while. Is that the problem? It asks me to update, and then I run it, but it won't do anything else.
Thanks so much. Any suggestions/ideas would be much appreciated.

I suggest that you uninstall Reader 8, then download and install Reader XI from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Does "8.1.2 and earlier versions" mean only earlier versions of v8? Or does it include version 6 and 7 and so on?
Thanks

UPDATE problem for Adobe Flash Player

Salut à tous,
Je suis sous Xp et Firefox, adobe a cessé de fonctionné avant hier, le jour justement d'une mise a jour, j'ai donc installé la nouvelle version en offline, Adobe flash player apparait installé dans mes programmes et dans les plugins Mozilla mais rien ne marche quand le plugin est activé, si je le désactive, certaines vidéos (qui ne nécessitent pas obligatoirement AFP, comme youtube ou yahoo) peuvent fonctionner mais c'est bien embêtant pour celles dont AFP est obligatoire...
Par exemple la page support adobe où l'on doit voir une animation de nuage, je ne la vois pas...?
Merci de vos avis éclairés!

I don't know what is causing your problem; I am currently here on Windows XP with Firefox 33.1.1 and Flash Player 15.0.0.239, and all works perfectly well.
I suggest you try a clean installation as described in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer. From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file. (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP. My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above). Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"? They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out. Can anyone help please? What is recommended? Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used. I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe. Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

Remove an update for Adobe Reader

Hi everyone,
I have searched around and couldn't find an answer regarding this... I would like to remove update 11.0.10 for Adobe Reader. I need to do this in order to test some of our in-house applications.
I would like to remove the update only, not the whole Adobe Reader application since we might have to push a solution to thousands of people.
I tried multiple MSIEXEC.EXE commands to uninstall the patch but always get an error stating that this patch cannot be uninstalled. is it true? Am I forced to uninstall the whole product?
Thanks for your help

I should say so, yes. I don't think Adobe Reader does the necessary thing of keeping copies of all modules at all versions so you can roll back selectively.
You could probably slipstream patches into the original 11.0 installer to make a single install, using normal Windows Installer techniques.

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?

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.

Problems installing Adobe Reader

Hi,
I need some help installing Adobe Reader. First a little history.
I run Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
I had Adobe Reader installed on my system and it was working fine.
Several days ago I had problems opening any Windows Office program after viewing a PDF file. I would have to restart my computer to get Office programs to run. During the re-start windows had to force AcroRd32.exe to shut down before it could close. I noticed that there was an updated version of Adobe Reader installed earlier this month and thought this may have cause the problem (I don't look at PDF file very often).
I looked at the forum for a solution and tried to find the file Elu.exe (I believe that is the name but can't remember exactly) and accept the licence as recommended but could not find it on my system.
I then uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried to re-install it. My system gets stuck at the "running security scan" process and never progresses. I then tried to install and earlier version of Adobe Reader and it gets stuck at the same place.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I can supply any missing information if needed.
Thanks

I just figured out my problem.
I had another program called PDF Creator that must have been interfering. I un-installed it and was able to install Adobe reader. I liked PDF Creator because I could create PDF files for free!
Thanks anyway

Help!- problems with Adobe reader v9 ifilter and sqlserver2005

Hello,
I am trying to implement search of pdf in binary column in sqlserver2005 using Adobe ifilter.
I installed full version of Adobe reader v9 which has its own Ifilter on my server (runs on 32bit)
I have done the following based on what i read on the internet:
The environment variable path has an entry for Adobe reader the following:D:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader
exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0;
Restarted services SQLserver and MSFTESQL
The issue is upon installation, sqlserver wasn't showing the doc type 'pdf' so I registered the dll but the sys.fulltext_document_type is showing this path instead and I can't update system tables in sqlserver2005.
Also when I carry out a search based on my Fulltext setup, it returns 0 rows.
select
document_type, path from sys.fulltext_document_types where document_type = '.pdf'
document_type               Path
.pdf                                c:\program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\MSSQL\Binn\AcrodIF.dll
Please what can I do to correct things and make it possible to carry out my pdf search
THANKS!!!!

I have resolved this myself as follows:
I deleted the pdf document type entry from table sys.fulltext_document_types
At the command prompt, in the directory where Acrobat reader is installed which was on my server D drive path:
     d:\program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\MSSQL\Binn\ and REGISTERED the ifilter dll - AcrodIF.dll
exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0;
Restarted MSFTESQL service
This resolved the problem and all these searches work:
select * from tablename where freetext(*, 'searchword')
select * from tablename where contains(*, 'searchword')
Search phase also work:
select * from tablename where freetext(*, '*search phrase*')
select * from tablename where contains(*, '*search phrase*')
