Why does reader announce punctuation

Hi, i've written an exciting sci-fi novel with microsoft word 2007, using a microsoft ad on I converted my file to a pdf. When the pdf is read in adobe reader it is announcing punctuation marks like quotation marks and apostrophes. my first thought was the font, so i am using a common one times roman and it still reads funny. Everything else reads as expected. I am not sure if this has to do with reader, word, or the combination. anyone have advice on how to make a perfect pdf, is there something Im not doing in making the pdf that is not right. any advice would be helpful.

Robert,
I cannot say for sure, how Reader should pronounce text. I would want
Reader to pronounce punctuation. How else could someone who could not
see know if something was written properly. But I would admit, that it
would be nice to have the ability to turn it off.

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

Why does Reader 9 not find Reader X as an update?

When I check for updates through Reader 9 I am told that "No Updates Available". Reader X has been out for months now, so why does Adobe's own product not recognize their own update? It is so infuriating that these kinds of basic things can never simply be problem free.

Hello,
Adobe Reader X in not an update to Adobe Reader 9, its an upgrade version of Adobe Reader 9
Updates apply to the same version, for example :
1) Latest update for Adobe Reader 9 is 9.4
2) Latest Update for Adobe Reader 10 is 10.0.1
Thanks

Why does Reader for Android want access to my GMail?

I was about to update Adobe Reader on my Droid X just now and decided to review what changes were being made to the application's permissions. Apparently now I would have to "Allow this application to access: Your messages (read Gmail)"
Why would Adobe Reader need access to my Gmail messages?

This unexplained change in required privileges is totally unacceptable.
I am only one of many who are posting in Market feedback that we will not update to this latest version until a reasonable explanation is given.
As with Apple's "LocationGate", a failure to communicate early, clearly and accurately will cause (is causing?) a major negative reaction among users.
Adobe needs to either give a credible reason for this change or roll out an update that doesn't require access to our Gmail.
A further reason to be concerned about this privilege request: they want to access Gmail, but make no request to access our other email accounts via "messaging". Why just Gmail?
Update: their revised release note mentions access to standard email with this update, but still does not request permission to do so. This makes the Gmail privilege all that more suspicious. As for their claim this is needed to open PDF attachments, the prior version did this without Gmail access permission
In any case, I'm joining the update boycott until this is explained or removed.

Why does email announcement give wrong URL (iWeb 3.0.2)

I just completed the first draft of a new site, hosted on mobileMe, using the latest version of iWeb 09, 3.0.2. I accepted the invitation for the program to generate an announcement email, but the URL it generated just pointed to my generic web address on MobileMe, so that a browser using this link picks up the first site on my iDisk, not the new one. I was able to work out the correct URL by adding the specific name of my new site with underscores replacing spaces, and thus alter the announcement email, but why did this happen? I think it may be a bug and have reported it, but maybe it's something I did. Any ideas?

Why does Reader say "Failed to initialize"?

Trying to install Reader 10 on a Windows XP SP3 system. During installation, I'm getting an error message that reads "Installation encountered errors" and "Failed to initialize".
I tried uninstalling older versions of Reader still on my system, but no change. I reinstalled Reader 8 from a CD, and that doesn't make any difference, either. I tried doing a search on "Failed to initialize" on this site, but didn't come up with anything pertinent for Reader.
Any clues? Thanks!

I still don't know why Reader 10 wouldn't install, but I figured out a workaround. Instead of downloading from Adobe's "preferred" or default site, I instead used this link as suggested in a thread for a different problem:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Downloading from there, I was able to get it installed correctly and Reader 10 works fine. The only thing I can figure is that whatever program Adobe's default download site uses has an incompatibility with either something on my computer or my browsers. I'm using both Google Chrome and IE 8, and the same error message happened with both browsers while trying to use Adobe's default site.

Why does Reader 9 load multiple images?

I am operating on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Intel). I just recently downloaded Reader 9 for Intel. Ever since that, whenever I click on any PDF document the reader quickly opens a large number of other PDF documents, not stopping until the maximum number at one time is reached. Now even my older Reader 8 does the same thing. I have downloaded Reader 9 a second time, to no avail. What can I do?.........jghist

We are getting several reports of this. Try removing your user cache with a utility like Applejack.

Why does reading list no longer allow offline reading?

For as long as I've had my iPhone 4S I've used Safari's Reading List to save pages from the browser to read later (so that I don't eat up the data on my plan). It's worked just fine for months, but now, in the last couple weeks, everything I have saved on my Reading List says that it is "Not Available for Offline Reading". Is anyone else having this issue?

Hello Tseecka,
It sounds like you are not able to use the Offline Reading List feature on your iPhone 4S. According to iOS 6: Which software features does my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch support? (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5457), your iPhone 4S does support the offline reading list feature.
I found an article that has steps to troubleshoot issues with the Reading List. I recommend following the steps under the section titled "Troubleshooting Bookmarks and Reading List update or setup issues on iOS devices" in the following article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4001
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Why does Reader 11 incorrectly set the DDE Server Name?

It appears to me that the installer is setting the DDE Server name in the registry to 'AcroviewR10' instead of the 'AcroviewR11'.
I confirmed by upgrading from Reader 9.5.x (DDE == Acroview) to Reader 11 (as of Oct 22, 2012) and the new value in the registry (XP and 7) was AcroviewR10.
I know there was a similiar issue when Reader 10 was released. Is there any idea when an update might come out that will fix this? I hate having to give customer's .reg files to fix these issues.
I understand that you are new to updating this variable every release, and so it isn't a part of your checklist yet, but it would be highly appreciated if you could remember that for version 12.

I had this working using the registry lookup this week. During testing on various machines, I found a discrepancy between the registry dde name and the dde name that acrobat would respond to. I finally just made an array of possible names and iterated through them.
I'm harvesting the application name from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Classes\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application in the registry.
Capitalization does not seem to matter but I'll include the exact caps from my tests.
Today :
Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.06) shows up in the registry as AcroViewA10 but it responds to acroviewa11.
Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) shows up in the registry as AcroViewA10 but it responds to acroviewa11.
Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.06) shows up in the registry as AcroView
R10 but it responds to acroviewr11.
Acrobat X Reader (10.1.9) shows up in registry as AcroViewR10 and responds to acroviewr10.
Reader 9 (9.0.0) shows up in registry as AcroViewA10 and responds to acroview. (The registry may be skewed by having Acrobat XI Pro installed on this machine.)
Reader 7 (7.1.0) shows up in registry as AcroView and responds to acroview.
So, I'm just brute forcing through all 5 known combinations plus 2 for version 12 on the off chance that the naming doesn't break pattern again.
#define maxnames 7
DIMENSION acronames (maxnames )
acronames(1) = "acroview"
acronames(2) = "acroviewa11"
acronames(3) = "acroviewr11"
acronames(4) = "acroviewa10"
acronames(5) = "acroviewr10"
acronames(6) = "acroviewa12"
acronames(7) = "acroviewr12"
loop
     AcroChanNum = DDEINITIATE(acronames(namecounter ), "Control")
     namecounter = namecounter + 1
      blah blah
until AcroChanNum >=0

Why does Reader require Internet access everytime?

I am using Adobe X. Can anyone explain to me why this application must have access to the internet everytime it is opened? What are the implications if you block reader 100% of time using your firewall... other than having to do manual updates?

Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it. Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

Windows 8, Firefox email client. What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files. Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.

Why does Read from Text file default to array of 9 elements

I am writing to a text file starting with a type def. cluster (control) of say 15 dbl numeric elements, that works fine I open the tab-delimited text file and all of the elements appear in the file. However when I read from the same text file back to the same type def. cluster (indicator), the read from text file defaults to 9 elements?? Is there a way to control how many elements are read from the file. This all works great when I initially use a cluster of 9 elements and read back to a cluster of 9 elements.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From the LabVIEW Help: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/glang/array_to_cluster/
Converts a 1D array to a cluster of elements of the same type as the array elements. Right-click the function and select Cluster Size from the shortcut menu to set the number of elements in the cluster.
The default is nine. The maximum cluster size for this function is 256.
Aside: so, how many times has this question been asked over the years?

Why does Reader crash my computer?

By crash I mean power off. No error messages, the computer shuts off immediately (no "window is shutting down", etc dialog box).
It started after I upgraded to X. I can open one pdf. If I open another one, or close it and reopen, the computer turns off.
I unintalled X and reinstalled version 9. Same problem.
I uninstalled 9, removed Reader from my registry (possible I missed something there), reinstalled 9; the problem persists.
Windows XP SP3, Dell Optiplex 360, Intel Core2 Duo 2.8 GHz E7400 processor, 2 GB RAM in case any of that matters
We have two other users who had the same problem with version 9. We pursued it at the time and hit dead ends.
It didn't happen to me until I upgraded to X. Now that it's happening to my computer it is a crisis .

I have solved the problem by uninstalling Version 11 and replacing it with version 9.5.
From my internet research, I have found others having an issue with screen freezing.
Older versions do not do this
Thank you
Bob

Why Does Reading A Gif Or Png Containing Transparent/Alpha Pixels Fail?

I'm trying to read in gif or png with transparent pixels into a BufferedImage so that I can create a font inside of Java. Right now, I'm defaulting to the assumption that the background of the font image is white. However, I want to make it so that the font background is whatever pixels happen to be transparent. The images I'm reading in have only two colors: black and white. I set all the white pixels to transparent when creating the images in hopes that I could do a check for all pixels with Alpha < 255. I have tried numerous possible solutions, such as saving the png files with different applications, ImageIO.read, and Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage, and JAI.The types of the resulting BufferedImages have varied between TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED, and TYPE_CUSTOM. What I want is TYPE_INT_ARGB so I can get the dang alpha pixels.
1. Is there a way to read in alpha pixels of png or gif (doesn't have to be both) from within the main Java libraries as a BufferedImage with type TYPE_INT_ARGB? If so, how?
2. Failing that, is there a way to read in alpha pixels of png or gif (doesn't have to be both) by using a decent external library as a BufferedImage with type TYPE_INT_ARGB? If so, how and with which one?
This has been frustrating the heck out of me, since I thought this was something very simple to do, but I've spent two days poring over the entire Internet for a possible solution.

Why does Reader 9.2's mozilla plugin list itself as 9.1?

Just updated to latest (today) version of Reader for Unix, 9.2. However, the nppdf.so plugin for mozilla/firefox identifies itself as being version 9.1. The nppdf.so file appears to be the correct one from the RPM. Is this a known problem?
Thanks,
Mike

The plugin is version 9.1. Where is the problem?
