  • 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.
    Kind regards, Stacy

    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

    why does Adobe Reader window open When i click on "about windows Media Player" , then click  on "Technical support information". if the file isnt a PDF file then why is Adobe Reader even summoned?

    i looked at Adobe file extensions first and didnt find htm among the ones listed. but then i looked at file extensions and what program is assigned to open htm and sure enough Adobe was assigned to it. i changed it. thank you.

  • 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 Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

    We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
    On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
    The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
    For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF”  from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
    Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

    HI
    Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
    Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

  • Why does Adobe Reader Not work in either Firefox or IE?

    Running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.  Adobe Reader X (latest version just downloaded March 2012) works fine with files saved locally.  But whenever a website tries to open up a pdf file I keep getting the error message:
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
    If it is running, please exit and try again.
    (1074724867.3)"
    I have tried numerous things posted on the web but I still keep getting the same error.

    I have the same or a very similar issue on WIn7 64bit

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4.63) keeps crashing in Win7?

    After a few seconds after opening a PDF document or launching the application, it crashes and provides the error below. I've already uninstallaed and reinstalled the application but the same thing happens.
    I also followed the step in the community discussion http://forums.adobe.com/message/5360426#5360426 but I could not even keep the application running long enough to access the settings and accepting the EULA didn't  worked either.
    Please can someone provide assistance if you have similar issues?

    Not sure if this will fix it, but here are some things you could try...
    Update to 11.0.5
    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

  • Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

    Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC.  Why?

    Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message.  I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video.  I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating.  The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files.  The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it.  I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back.  Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?

  • Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

    Hello Everyone
    I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
    All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Dave

    I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
    While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.

  • Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

    Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
    Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

    Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

    I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

    ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO  CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
    WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2  BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
    It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
    SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
    1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
    AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
    WHILE IN ADOBE READER  I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
    Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
    Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
    2. Operating System = Windows 7.
    3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
    Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..
