When Adobe Reader is updated past 10.1.8...Lexmark printers intermittently print gibberish (Wing Din

Security audit dictates we must update all our Windows patches and 'other' software in our incredibly stable and function environment.
Things go really well...only issues is updating Adobe reader past 10.1.8 causes .pdf documents from our intranet to print intermittently one line per page what looks like wing dings, for 50 pages. Only sometimes.
Forcing to open in Application (rather than browser) seems to solve, but this causes our loans software not to populate documents. Support with the loans software say they can't replicate in their environment, are not interested in helping. We must go back to opening in web browser...wing ding print continues.
Microsoft environment LAN: Windows 7 32 bit on desktop, Lexmark T644 printers with 'latest' drivers

You bet...10.1.8 and any version newer seems to cause the issue. Any of the Adobe 11 series. We were at 10.1.3 I believe and it all worked like a charm.
Oh yes...IE 9 in production but have been testing IE10. Loans software does not populate forms when set to open in application in IE9 and IE10 :-(

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign into Adobe Reader for updates

I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

Wish to completely hide Windows 7 Taskbar when Adobe Reader XI is maximized

I've created a shortcut to Adobex Reader XI with maximized checked. However, when Adobe Reader XI is opened, while it IS maximized, there is still a thin slice of the Windows 7 task bar showing. I want to COMPLETELLY hide the taskbar.

Maximizing an application window doesn't hide the Windows taskbar unless the application has a special 'full display' mode. Some Creative Suite apps do (e.g. Lightroom) but Acrobat and Adobe Reader don't.

Removing Adobe Reader X Updates

I would like the notification to remove Adobe Reader X Updates to be removed from my computer. It is quite annoying. Please be clear and easy since I am not exactly computer literate. Thank you, in advance

Sorry, your question is not clear. Can you give us the exact wording (or a screenshot) of that notification?
What is your operating system?

Hi,
Which version of Adobe Reader were you using earlier when printing using Dell printed was working fine?

How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe doesn't provide support for. But, I did find the following on their website:
"Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15."
Here's a link to their website:
CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer
So, it looks like it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript file to PDF.
Best,

Printing to a PDF when Adobe Reader disables "Save as PDF"

I have searched far and wide on the web and cannot figure this out.
I have an Adobe PDF. When I try to open it with Preview, I get the following message:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
From what I have read, Adobe has imbeded some commands into the PDFs created by certain software which only allows the PDFs to be opened by Adobe products (Reader, Acrobat, etc.). I can easily open it with Adobe Reader and fill the document in. However, it is a job application, and I would like to be able to email it back to somebody, but I wish to make it so that it is not editable.
Normally, this would be easy, simply use Preview's "Save as PDF" function. Unfortunately, "Save as PDF" does not work from Adobe Reader, I am not sure why although I am sure both Apple and Adobe will point fingers at the other when asked.
Thus, I am looking for a program that will effectively clone a printer, but print to a PDF instead of a actual printer. I have used PDFwriter in the past, and tried CUSP-PDF, but neither seems to work in Mountain Lion. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and the most current version of both of these PDF print clone programs appears to be several years old, Snow Leopard era.
Any input on how I can convert the PDFs that are only openable in Adobe Reader to a non-editable format would be greatly appreciated. I can easily print them and then scan them back in, but the end result does not look professional and I would prefer to not have to do this.
Thank you,
Willis

I found another discussion that provided a solution:
CutePDF for Mac or other compatible software
For instrucitons on use see:

Look for the program CUPS-PDF.
"cups pdf is like cute pdf but for mac

after installing you need to go to settings, printer, add printer

pdfs go in /Users/Shared/CPS-PDF/{your account name}"
Thanks to Bob Harris and geagon.
Be sure to allow all software to be downloaded.
You have to locate the file where the prints are saved.
However you can put an alias up to it on your desktop.

Adobe Reader 11 Update via SCUP

Hi all,
i'm updating Adobe Reaer via SCCM and SCUP and the published catalogs from Adobe.
When importing the updates i do not see the MUI Update for Version 11.0.5, but the not MUI Version is available.
is this update published later what do i wrong?
Thanks a lot

I'm a bit sorry, I've used the non MUI version for deployment, it was the German 11.0.04 Package.
11.0.05 Deployment via SCUP was done without any problems.
I tried "msiexec /update AdbeRdrUpd11006.msp" with Logging Option and this is the output (It's a bit in german I hope its not a problem):

Adobe reader 9 - Updater Plug-in has been removed

Prior to installing the recent version of Adobe reader, I was able to populate an Adobe reader form. When I now try and populate the same form, I receive an error message "Updater plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing current file." I have done a re-install but am still unable to populate the same for that I was able to do prior to the Adobe 9 upgrade. Please help!

Adobe Reader XI Update failed. How to fix?

When my windows 7 64 bit computer was updated to adobe reader XI, the update function began to continually fail. I am getting the following "Adobe Reader Updater" message:
"Update Failed An error occured. Please check for updates again later. Error: 111500"
This message annoyingly pops up when adobe attempts to check for updates automatically. I also get this message anytime I manually check for updates. I have tried to "check for updates later" a million times with no luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Reader a million times. I have also uninstalled, utilized the adobe reader removal tool for removal of older versions, and reinstalled a million times. I have also tried reinstalling the older versions. Still, whether i am using version XI or an older version of Reader, I always get the above message when I request an update. Please Help!

This error means that Updater could not create download folder under C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\ARM
Most likely you have special\corrupted permissions at C:\Users\All Users level
Or some sort of Antivirus type program keeps this folder locked.
You have 2 choices
1. Fix permissions\locking issue
2. Download Updates manually and install them every time they are released - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html
If you choose later, you can disable Updater automatic modes from Edit\Preferences\Updater menu.
Good luck

Adobe Reader Not Updating

HP AMD dual core, running XP SP3 with IE8:
Noticed today when the Automatic Update for 9.3.4 "didn't take" that my Acrobat Reader version was still at 8.2. (dated June 30th 2010), so apparently Acrobat Reader Auto Updates had been failing since that date. I didn't notice this before because I keep this program in a "Utilities" folder on my desk top and just delete the existing link icon then move the new icon in there when it shows up. Of course today I finally saw that the new icon was really just the old version restored. Followed a few threads and saw that for the 9.3.4 you need to have 9.3.3 installed, but the link provided was an FTP site and the Windows Explorer viewing instructions gave me an "FTP site cannot be viewed in Windows Explorer" message.
Any ideas on how to get from 8.2 to 9.3.4?
The implication in the thread I was following appeared to be that that was how you had to get 9.3.3 now that this update was released, but I see that 9.3.3 is still the download version on this site. Do I need to remove 8.2 before attempting to install 9.3.3?
Also just noticed this is the DLM downloader for Reader. Is there a Manual Download available?
Thanks in advance, stillgolfing44

Thanks for the quick reply.
You may not have noticed that I had edited my post with more info/questions.
I Found 9.3.3 @ Adobe, but it is the DLM version. Is there a manual download version available?
Also do I need to remove 8.2 first and if so, is there an uninstaller that should be used or is the Windows Uninstaller O.K.?
Thanks again, stillgolfing44

Adobe Reader XI update Nightmare on Elm Street!

I got notification to update Adobe Reader XI and it took me a little bit to get around to it, but as soon as I did it was like my computer took a walk down Nightmare on Elm Street!
It caused my computer to keep freezing up. Either wouldn't allow me to connect to the internet or kept me logged on at different times. Even, at one point, logged on without my permission!
I don't know what in the world you all did with that junk software but it took me three tries to get it uninstalled from my computer.
So now I'm back on AR10. Imagine no surprise at all when it stopped all of my glitches!!!
I realize there are a lot of operating systems out there and a bunch of system junk that has to work together but whatever was in that update, NO THANK YOU!
I wasted almost an entire day messing with this stupid garbage just trying to get it to uninstall!
Stop messing up our computers!

There are a lot of spammers who send fake update notifications to get you to install malware along with Adobe Reader (or instead). Perhaps, just perhaps, you got one of those.
If the notification was in email it was certainly a scam.

Cannot load PDF in IE when Adobe Reader 9.3 is installed

Hi,
I have been having a problem for the past couple months whereby when I have Adobe Reader 9.3 installed on my machine and try to open PDFs within IE, I receive an error message (after some time of waiting) saying "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again". I did not have this problem with version 8.2 (and as a result I had to resort back to this version). However, I would like to have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed and have it working!
After doing some diagnostics, I discovered that the problem seemed to only occur when I had Google Toolbar installed. If I uninstalled it completely (not just disabled it) the PDFs would display fine.
Is there anything I can try to make the three of these compatible (Adobe Reader 9.3, Internet Explorer and Google Toolbar)?
Thanks,
Chris

You can not save a form and data in Reader unless it has been activated with Reader Rights. That is an extra step. You do not need to save the form to submit the data. In Designer, the data is submitted in XML format. In Acrobat forms, the data would be submitted in FDF, XML, XFDF, or HTML format. XML and FDF can be imported to the form so you can see what the user saw when the form was submitted. If you activate Reader Rights, you may likely run into limits set in the license agreement. Read the EULA, section 15, before you go to far and find out you might be violating the license.
I assume your submission is by e-mail the way it sounds. Be aware that has many problems and is not a reliable method for form submission. If you are doing forms for a business, you would likely not want to activate the Reader Rights and would want to submit the data to a web script to avoid the e-mail issues -- otherwise you might tick off customers and run them off.

Adobe Reader X update will not install

I got Adobe Reader X by downloading it online from this site I believe. I have no discs or anything. But several times it has wanted to install an update. And when it does I'll get Error 1311 Source File Not found data1.cab
So why is this happening? Is it because I used a free download off the site and don't have the program on actual disc? There is troubleshooting tips that say uninstall it and all but is this worth doing. I don't want to get rid of it then have to buy it or something. But I am certain I got it off this site so not sure why it won't let me update?

How does one delete the installer cache files? I couldn't find them in 10.7.2 I IDID find Cache files in the Library, and deleted them all. Still broken.
My 10.1.1 installer from Adobe runs and immediatly stops about 40% of the way through, and then sits there. The last time I started the install before lunch, and after lunch the installer was in the exact same spot, but said it would take an hour and 45 min to install! I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a 2009 MBP.
Update:
OK, I put Adobe Reader 9.4.6 back in my Applications folder. I open it up, and do "check for updates". It says I am up to date, and that there are no new updates.
The 10.1.1 installer I downloaded DIRECTLY by going to Adobe.com and following the links for my Mac. I even deleted the installer once and then redownloaded it just to make sure I had a good copy. This is the screen I get when I run the installer. It gets to this point in about 30 seconds, always between the "r"and "i" in scripts, and the time remaining just keeps going up. HELP!
