  • Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync download turned all program icons to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    I recently installed Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync on my laptop running Windows 7 Pro. As soon as the installtion was completed, all my program icons turned to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which is one of the programs loaded on my computer, and all my programs tried to open with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which of course failed. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, and the problem cleared up. As soon as I tried to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, the problem reappeared. I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and installed a trial version of Acrobat XI, and the same thing happened. Any ideas aso to how to correct this problem?

    Hi ptstoper,
    I was not able to replicate the issue with Acrobat 11 and Android sync.
    Which OS are you using?

  • Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7.  I'm sure it did when I first got my computer.  Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

    If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
    Try checking that if you don't.

    That is likely due to your software firewall not allowing access.  Do you receive any specific error messages?  Which operating system are you using?

  • Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe us

    Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe use for years?

    Yes, I'm able to login with my Adobe ID and password, and have done so for at least 15 years.  But the moment I use Adobe Download Assistant they're both rejected with "Error 100" without explanation.  I have tried to reset both on about 6 occasions over two days.  The rejection continues; no explanation.  In other words, I am refused a trial download of CS6 (pending later purchase).  I have had Photoshop since v3.0 and still have every version since then.  Frankly, Adobe has become a vast overfed amoebe with independently activated tentacles that are out of central control and disconnected from other parts of the empire.  This event has been happening to many other Photoshop loyalists, according to Google data, and it's becoming  more and more likely that I may abandon Photoshop altogether .  Meanwhile I'm continuing to use my CS5 and giving up any further attempts to acquire CS6.

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming". 

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    After I downloaded Acrobat, Adobe Reader tries to control viewing of my photos.  When I plug my digital camera into the PC, all the files are labeled “PDF”; the files still have the .jpg extension, though.  For photos on my PC, when I try to open them, Adobe reader insists on opening them, but it can’t, and I get the message:
                “Adobe Reader could not open photo.jpg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged”
    I attached several photos to an e-mail that I sent after downloading Acrobat, and I could not open the photos before sending the e-mail (in order to verify that they were the correct photos before I sent the e-mail).  Adobe Reader was my only option when I clicked “open” to view a photo, and it would not open the photo.
    I assume that I did something during the Acrobat download process that has caused this situation.  My plan is to uninstall Acrobat and then re-install it and this will hopefully remove this situation.
    Any suggestions you have about this situation would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does Adobe constantly wants to Update itself?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat Reader constantly wants to Update itself by presenting an irritating dialog box that asks the user to update?
    It's just a document reader - how many times do you want to update it? Why aren't all bugs/features added before it is released?
    If you really want to update everyday, why can't you do it on the sly?

    The latest version is 9.3.1 and it's been out for a little while now.
    Your update didn't go right, or it would recognize the latest version and the updater would shut down before asking you to update.
    Try uninstalling Reader and downloading the latest build. I doubt it will be asking you to update all the time after thet.

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.
