Using Adobe Reader 9 & 11 together

I have a client that needs to use Adobe Reader 9 to open PDF's for a certain software but she also needs Adobe 11 to open PDF's she has been sent which Adobe 9 cannot open. Is there anyway we can use these two different version on the same machine simultaneously?

Sending e-documents by email is always unsafe; attachments can get damaged, lost, or misdirected.
Far better use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.), then send the download link by email.

    Adobe recommends using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat version 8 or later to work with documents contained within a PDF Package. By updating to the latest version, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
    • Efficient, integrated PDF viewing • Easy printing
    • Quick searches
    Don’t have the latest version of Adobe Reader?

    If you already have Adobe Reader 8, click a file in this PDF Package to view it.
    Get this message when trying to open some docs. Link goes nowhere and nothing to click on.

    When you use Acrobat to convert emails it makes a special kind of PDF called a PDF package. This cannot be viewed on iOS and never will be able to be. I don't think Adobe really thought it through...

  • Does CutePDF Form Filler use Adobe Reader legally?

    Hi,
    I'm currently attempting to put together a simple form filling solution for a large client and just stumbled across CutePDF Form Filler on PC World. http://www.pcworld.com/article/156970/complete_pdf_forms_on_the_cheap_with_cutepdf_form_f iller.html
    I've just tried it and it seems to do what we need, but I wonder whether the product is legal. My basic understanding was that if you're making use of Adobe Reader to display PDFs inside your application then you are not allowed to make alterations like saving filled in forms. That is, Adobe does not legally allow editing/saving PDFs using Adobe Reader - unless it's been 'enabled' by their Acrobat software.
    Can any experts comment? Is it worth just staying away from it completely - or is what they're doing fine?
    Thanks!
    Paul

    You will likely have to call the customer service or spend your time reading the EULA (and hopefully interpreting it right) if you want the detailed answer you are looking for. This is a Users forum and the folks from Adobe generally do not come out directly on the forum. The point of reading a PDF that has a public domain spec and making changes to it somewhere else should not be a problem. If you are trying to get around security or such, then there is a legal issue, but you did not suggest anything like that. I agree with Reinhard that the passing of Approval left a big hole for many users.

  • I am having issues with printing using Adobe Reader

    I am currently using adobe reader and have not been able to print with my HP DeskJet 3050, I have both reinstalled my drivers and Reader, yet they both will not work.  Every time I click print it brings up the printing options screen, from there I have tried the following:  I have tried printing the document as an image, changing the language to see if the printer itself could not handle the printing language and I have also tried to save the document as a preprint and printing it from there yet it is still not working.  Here are all of the notes from Reader showing the build and features:

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

    Hi,
    We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

    Hi..
    Try removing a plugin...
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader...

    Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

  • Is there a way to programmatically configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader within the Firefox Browser?

    We have customers who are having difficulty saving their PDF files upon opening them from our web page because most of the time, they have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" set under Tools->Options->Applications. This causes the PDF file to be loaded into a standalone version of Adobe Reader where the Save icon is disabled.
    We can suggest to our users that they change this to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", which will give them the desired behavior of loading the PDF in a Firefox window with the Acrobat plug-in's Save icon enabled.
    However, we'd like to pro-actively change this configuration for our users via javascript if at all possible, so they don't have to go through the trouble of contacting us with the issue.
    Is this possible?

    I think that the built-in PDF Viewer only gets triggered with a specific MIME type (application/pdf) send by the server.

  • Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

    I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

    >(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
    It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
    >(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
    You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
    >(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
    Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
    >(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
    Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
    In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

  • Recently no matter what I do, Firefox will not allow me to use Adobe Reader instead of it's own

    I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox's built in. I have tried everything that you suggest and that Adobe suggest. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I have gone to the options in Mozilla but when I try to change the Portable Document settings, I don't get the option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I do get the for Adobe Forms, but not for PDF documents. If I change it to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then opens reader which is not I want. I want to use the plugin which is installed (I go to Add-ons and it is installed and "always activate").
    Help? This only started happening in the last month or so. I am running latest released Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (up to date with all updates, etc.).

    That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
    I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
    This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
    I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.

  • Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all:
    I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
    It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
    Is there away to sign this electronically?
    Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
    Can I sign with a pen tool with in  Adobe Reader 9?
    Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
    Thanks in advance!!

    That depends.
    Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
    They are different things.

  • We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

    We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.
    For which, We created and execute the below command line to call Adobe Reader and print the PDF on a printer.
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /T "\\<Application Server>\Report\<TEST.PDF>" "<Printer Name>".
    Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace.
    When executed in a command line on the Application Server, it is working as expected.
    But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.
    Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2.
    Please let us know if there is a way to enable trace logs in Adobe Reader to further diagnose this issue.

    This is the Acrobat.com forum.  Your question will have a much better chance being addressed in the Acrobat SDK forum.

  • "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

    I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser.  Reader will now exit.  Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7.  This happens when trying to open  a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008.  If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally.  If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected.  I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome.  Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat.  Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

    tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
    1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
    2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
    3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
    My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.
