Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
2. cannot view a PDF file;
3. or what?
Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

Whenever I try to download a PDF to save for future use, it keeps opening up the text in my email and won't give me the option to download and save. Any suggestions?

You can hold down on the open PDF and get the option to Open In - in the resulting pop up window.

Get msg disk is full when trying to save a PDF file

Running windows 7 and latest version of Adobe Reader. I get the following message when I try to save a PDF file to disk.
The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk & try again or save to a different disk. The disk I am trying to save the file to has over 200gb of free sapce!!

I found a workaround online, here's the a linkhttp://www.thedailydecibel.com/2011/10/adobe-reader-disk-full-error-message.html
I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 plugin for Internet Explorer. So the directions in the above link are slightly different for Reader 11.
Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck the box for "Enable Protected Mode at startup".
I have no idea if there are any negative consequences with turning this option off.

Save as PDF file path dialog

Again, another odd operation that Adobe has added to Acrobat Professional DC for Mac. When I Save, or Save As in Acrobat DC, the next window is an Adobe Save As PDF window with several, helpful options. There is a list of five or so Recently Visited folder, options in the sidebar to send this to a Cloud and a giant button "Choose a Different Folder". This button is so large, I actually, have trouble locating it.
Usually, I'm working in a current document and the folder I wish to save that document to, percolates to the top of the Recent Folders. That's handy. However, when you click that selection, actually any selection, even Choose a Different Folder, the OS X Finder window always opens up to the same folder. The folder is named, simply "T" for temporary. If you save anything there, and close Acrobat, you have lost your work my friend. I have figured that out, now. But my question is, why ask where my destination folder of choice, if you never locate it anyway? That window is a waste of space.
This is obviously a bug between the new DC version and the Mac Finder system. The action in the Save As PDF window need to have the file paths updated.

Hi
I accessed to a website from my uni library computer using my student account and download a pdf file in there. However, that pdf file contains a line of words saying "Accessed by ... University Library on 30 Mar 2007". This line is printed vertically and on the left side of the page.
Do you know how to remove that line? I think the website just embedded that line into the file.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

Chances are you are looking at the place holder of a large image. Go to the preferences and check that View Large Images is checked.

Whenever I try to open a PDF, the window closes 5 seconds later.

Reader is malfunctioning on my computer. Whenever I try to open a PDF, the window closes 5 seconds later. This all started a few days ago when I tried updating the version of Reader I had. Since then I've had multiple problems or either not being able to open PDFs with any time of security on them, and now after I use the adobe cleaner and downloaded the whole program new, nothing opens. I tried this with XI (which is what I originally had the problems with), then X, and now I have 9.5 Same problem with all of them
PLEASE HELP!! I need to be able to view PDFs and digitally sign them for work!

Somethings to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Bug Report: [VIsio 2010] whenever I try to save a diagram to JPEG and then close Visio using the X button, Visio hangs

Greetings
I use Visio 2010 in windows 7 64bit
and I have this problem:
whenever I try to save a diagram to JPEG (save as>JPEG) and then close Visio using the X button on the upper right corner, then Visio hangs.
The jpeg pic is saved ok, but Visio hangs permanently: I have to close it using task manager.
On the other hand, if after I save into jpeg, I press whatever other button in Visio (from ribbon) then it works ok, and afterwards I can close Visio with the X button
- but, if I try to close Visio with the X button right after saving to JPEG, Visio will surely hang.
Thank you
PS. Visio 2010 is fully updated (File>Help reports:
Visio 2010 Premium (v14.0.6111.5000) SP1 MSO (14.0.6112.5000) 32bit)

Update:
The problem reappeared/wasn't completely solved:
So, I also went to Control Panel>add/remove programs, rightclick on Adobe Acrobat X> change installation and untick the PDFMaker item, in order to uninstall it:
that's because initially, even after I had unticked "PDFMaker for Visio AddIn" in COM Add-Ins,
in File>Options>Add-Ins tab, on the Active Application Add-Ins part (yes, on ACTIVE Add-Ins)
I was still seeing about 5-6 lines, all having items containing PDFMaker for Visio AddIn" [PDFMVisio.vsl].
In other words, the PDFMVisio.vsl file was loaded even if unticked!!
Then, after uninstalling the add-in, the problem was finally fixed at last!
Thank you so much for this additional information! I was having the same problem. I did what you instructed, and the problem has now disappeared!

When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes

When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.

Some things to try...
Update Reader to version 11.0.06
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Subject: WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A PDF FILE, THE READER OPENS HUNDREDS OF MULTIPLE BLANK PAGES .
Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)
