Why can't adobe reader remember my page?

I have the settings set to open the last display page when I open the file and it normally works fine. But sometimes all the files in my computer will restore to the original status like it shows the first page and the font is very big. I don't know what I did and it seems to happen randomly. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? It's pretty annoying. Thanks!

This is a known issue with the Adobe Reader plugin on Mac OS:
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811085 Bug 811085] - Can't use Adobe Reader for PDF files
Read the above bug for details (please don't comment in the bug report).
To work around this,
#disable the Adobe Reader plugin in the Firefox Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins list
#choose another action for '''Portable Document Format (PDF)''' content types in the Firefox Preferences -> Applications list, such as "Preview in Firefox" to use the built-in PDF viewer, "Preview" application or the Adobe Reader application itself

  • Why can't Adobe Reader X update the data matrix?

    Hey guys,
    I create via Livecycle Designer an new PDF, add two text fields and insert a data matrix from formularbarcode.
    As one of its properties I set a collection (the two text fields) on which the data matrix is based.
    The two text fields are variable.
    After saving the PDF and open it with the Adobe Reader and fill in the text fields the data matrix code changes to a grey box.
    If I do this with the Adobe Acrobat Professional,  it'll work. Where is the problem? Please help!
    best regards,
    David

  • Why can't adobe reader users open a link within a form?

    When form is opened using Adobe Reader, links do not work.  However, if opened using Acrobat XI Pro, the links work fine.
    This problem has been going on for a few months now.  I'm not sure if there was an update to something or if this is just a bug that needs fixed.
    If anyone has a solution, please advise.
    Thank you,

  • Why can't Adobe Reader find or search for words on a PDF document?

    I have seen where people have the same problem whoes comments where dated back in June 2011.  WHEN WILL THIS PROBLEM BE FIXED?  I am sent PDF files with multiple pages of documents that I have to go through.  I need to find documents by employee names.  Please help.

    Are you able to select the text? If not, then it's probably just a scanned image of text, not real text. In that case there's nothing you can do about it unless you run OCR on the document in Acrobat or some other similar application.

  • Why can't I read my book in Reader like I bought it?????

    It's been awhile since I used one of my eBooks but every time I double-click it brings me to a web-site to install DE. Even after installing it still takes me to DE. Even when I'm in DE the experience is less than pleasurable. Why can't I read it how I want to? I hate DRM!!!!! Way to kill enthusiasm for eBooks Adobe! Guess I'll have to repurchase a paper version.
    Who programmed this piece of crap anyway? Why can't I simply hold my down arrow to scroll the document like every other application in existence? Why does clicking above or below the thumb in the scrollbar not page up or page down like every other application in existence????? Why do I have to bring up some weird little window to zoom to anything other than a predefined width??? I am completely infuriated that I cannot read my book in the format I purchased it!
    Having it in Reader was so cool. I could double-click on the file and pick up reading where I left off. It almost felt like a book. Now it feels like locked digital content that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to and that may or may not be there for me when I need it. Way to go idiots!

    With Adobe Acrobat 8.0, Adobe Reader 8.0 and the Digital Editions software, Adobe has really crippled the PDF reader. I supposed, eventually Adobe will address this issue, but here's what you can do now to get the functionality back:
    If you installed or upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or Adobe Reader 8.0, uninstall the software and go back to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0. You can still download this version of Adobe Reader from Adobe's website.
    Uninstall the Digital Editions software completely from your computer.
    Go into Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0 and disable the feature that automatically updates the software (to prevent your software from being upgraded to 8.0 without your knowledge):
    Edit > Preferences > Updates > select the option "Do not automatically check for critical updates"
    Change the file association for PDF files back to Adobe Reader 7.0 (or Adobe Acrobat 7.0): open up File Explorer > select Tools > Folder Options > File Types > find and highlight the PDF file type > select the "Change" button and select Adobe Reader 7.0 or Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
    This won't fix the books you've already opened in the Digital Editions software, but now when you download DRM protected PDF files, you can use them as you are accustomed to.

VERSION 7 was so easy just print (fit to page)! I'am pulling my hair out trying to accomplish this! If anyone can tell me how to do it I would be eternally grateful! Thanks Julie
    P.S. I can't even print a 8 x 10 properly!

    Sarah, my printer drivers are updated! This problem seems SO COMPLICATED when it should be so easy!  It's like the more advanced these programs get the less you can figure them out!!!!  I'am ready to offer a reward to fix this!!! The stress of trying to figure this out is making me crazy!

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

    I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
    However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
    I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
    Any help is appreciated
    ....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
    Regards,
    Luisa

     Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance.  I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.  I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the 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..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue  (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

  • Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro? Also, is there any way to print pages from book?

    In general if you want to read paid-for ebooks on your Mac, you need to buy them from one of the other sources like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks and use the free OS X and iOS reader apps which they provide instead of iBooks.

    Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut?  Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

    Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
    If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.
