Windows 7: Acrobat 8 crash and other glitches

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8.1.6 Standard on Windows 7 rtm and there are some massive problems with Acrobat:
First problem I found is in combination with Office 2007 and Calibri font which is the standard title font of Word 2007. When I convert a Word document using this font into pdf by Adobe tools (printer,distiller,word toolbar) this font cannot be included/displayed into the PDF. The second glitch I found is about pagenumbers. Example: In Word pagenumbers are displayed: 1/10, 2/10, 3/10 and so on... In the PDF these pagenumbers appear as 1/1, 2/2, 3/3...
Finaly a crash using Internet Explorer 8 + Page preview... + Adobe PDF prrinter
After viewing a webpage in page preview and then printing to Adobe PDF printer-> crash

No versions of Acrobat have been certified for Win7 yet. My student got AA9 to work fine on Win7. We have not tried AA8. The errors you are having (other than the crash) are characteristic of a WORD that needs updating. Try that before you blame it on Acrobat. Acrobat creates what is sent to it and the kind of errors you are having are more characteristic of WORD created errors. The type of page number problem you are having is a WORD problem as I recall.
For the font, do you mean you have the Adobe PDF printer set to embed the font and it is not embedding? It is not clear what you mean other than it is not displaying. More information is needed. Be aware that OFFICE 2007 has been a problem on XP and VISTA machines also, where OFFICE 2003 works fine.
There seem to be several issues with OFFICE 2007, whether bugs or intentional hooks to mess up Acrobat it is not clear and probably impossible to prove one way or the other. I have even found that within OFFICE, there is a difference between DOCX and DOC that cause some wierd results. I refuse to use DOCX as a result. In one case I found that a vector graphic in DOCX appeared to be replacing fonts with line graphics. Not what I would normally want.

  • Windows 8.1 crashes and freezes

    I am running Windows 8.1 on Samsung series 5 ultrabook equipped with:
    - AMD A4-4355M  processor
    - AMD Radeon HD 7400G (integrated graphics)
    Recently I have used samsung recovery tool and got my laptop to initial state(from the day of the first turn on), with the first start after recovering multiple actualizations were automatically downloaded and installed and everything was running smoothly
    for a week or so. Problems occurred two days ago, when for no apparent reason my computer was crashing and freezing displaying wide vertical stripes of the colour that was dominating on the screen at the moment of crashing. Those crushes were occurring 3 to
    5 minutes after turning on the computer. I have managed to download and install newest recommended graphic drivers, however it hasn't helped at all.
    In my desperation I have recovered system one more time yesterday, during recovering process (lasting 20min) everything was ok, and after turning on the system everything is working UNTIL I open IE, then the same problem instantly occurres.

    Hi Gbonaert,
    This kind of issue might be caused by incompatible add-ons or corruption during update.
    Reset Internet Explorer then check the issue again.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11
    If the issue still persists
    Try disable/removing add-ons in your Internet Explorer, or you also could start Internet Explorer under no add-on mode.

  • Flash player crashes and other issues.

    My wife is having issues with Zynga Bingo and Flashplayer.  Over the past 3 days (starting approx 20 July) she will be able to play for a bit and then it will just lock up on her.  Now it won't run at all, Flashplayer keeps giving an error stating it is unresponsive.
    What is odd is that it is only occuring on her account.  When I get on my account or our daughter gets on her account on the same laptop we do not have any of these problems.
    In researching this issue I have seen so many suggestions for fixing it, I have tried to run it on Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox.  It does the same thing on all browsers, and the other 2 accounts do not have any issues on any of the browsers.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics drivers, sound drivers, Flashplayer and Java.
    Why?  If this is a hardware or software issue, is the problem only occurring on one account out of the three when they are all three played on the same laptop.
    After starting the game on her account it comes to the screen where you select how many Bingo cards you want to play and the music and screen freezes a couple seconds after loading and you can't select anything on the screen.
    I should add, we have had many problems with her Zynga account in the past, she had a stroke last year and there was several hundred dollars worth of charges at a time when she was in the hospital and didn't have the laptop with her.  Just a couple months ago her laptop and my laptop both crashed and had to have the operating systems reinstalled (recovery programs failed to work).  This was just after a major windows update, both laptops would not boot up after installing the same updates.  During the week the laptops were being worked on we did not have access to a computer and yet there were "again" hundreds of dollars in Zynga charges which we could not explain.
    Is it possible that her account has somehow been hacked by someone thru the Zynga service, as that is the only place she is having problems...and would explain why only her account locks up and not the other two?
    Attaching a DirectX file so you can see the system setup....what else can I add to help in troubleshooting?  No antivirus programs or spyware has been detected and the operating system is a fresh install.  All she uses the laptop for is her facebook games and email.
    Thankyou for your help.

    Thank you for providing all details in your first post; very few posters do that.
    Two things to try:
    disable hardware acceleration on the affected account; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337
    if that improves the situation, then updating the graphics drivers would be advised; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765 - you can re-enable hardware acceleration after that

  • Acrobat crashed and i lost all document level javascript

    Hi, while working with acrobat professional 9 i got an error messages and acrobat crashed. I had 300 lines of javascript code on document level and after i reopened the pdf document it wasn't there even though i had been saving the document many time before the error ccurred. Any idea how can i retrieve that javascript back? And why did it all disappear?

    Thank you very much for your reply but I already tried this and it didn't work. I will try to review all the sites visited over several months of which these tabs were accumulated . What a big hassle. I do notice that Firefox has crashed fairly often . Its just in the past I was able to retrieve my open tabs. I may go back to Internet Explorer. Thanks again for you help.

  • Install order of Acrobat Pro and other CC applications

    I work at a college and we're just getting started with Creative Cloud. When setting up the first seat of CC for my institution, it was a device license on a Windows 7 system. Only after my first attempt failed did I find the instructions for the command-line install of Acrobat Pro, and that it needed to be done before any other CC applications. This was surprising, but the instructions were effective after I uninstalled everything and started over.
    Now I have a named user to set up on a Mac OS 10.9.5 system, and I'd like to do it right the first time. Anyone out there have any advice for me on this?
    TIA, David

    The command line install for Acrobat Pro Windows 7 is not that bad, the install information is all included in the packager once the its created.
    In your exceptions folder there is file called Exceptioninfo.txt, if you read this you will see the correct way to install using command line.  Below is an example of how to create a batch file to double click instead of typing these commands repeatedly.
    Going even one step further you can do the following.
    1) Copy the deployment package to the desktop
    2) in the Exceptions folder create a new text document and call it "Acrobat_installer" or something of that nature, copy and paste the following into it.
    cd \users\(username) \desktop\(Package folder name)\(package name)\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    3) Enter your windows user profile name in (user name) - Enter the (package folder name) enter the (package name you created)
    4) Save the text document as "Acrobat_installer.bat"
    Keep in mind you will copy this .bat file into the exceptions folder of your deployment package.
    Lastly ensuring the user name is correct, run the batch file(.bat)  on the PC.
    Here is my example:  Bold are the parts I mentioned above.
    cd users\cpreslar\desktop\TAG_CCIP_7_14_2014\TAG Creative Cloud Installer Package 7142014\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    Feel free to use this next time you have to do a windows deployment.

  • After System Restore windows programs not loading, and other issues!

    To preface this I have no interest in keeping vista on here I have a CD with windows7 setup on it that I would like to install either on a new partition or over the exsisting one but no clue how to do this right, and when I tried booting up from the CD it gave me an error, so I can't do the setup that way, however I did get a version of windows xp (hiren's minixp) to boot from a thumbdrive, however I could not get my wireless internet to work on it. however thru ethernet it did, but need wifi!) I need a computer for tomorrow morning for my new job orientation is done thru a website and I need a computer to use at thehotel (im out of town) so its not an option taking it to a repair shop tomorrow (its sunday and all), or sending back to lenovo plus its outta warranty. 
    Help! I am very novice at best with techy stuff so I will try to explain this the best that I can. I've had a lenovo N500 Laptop running Vista Home Edition for a couple years now. It did not come with any recover cd's or anything like that. It was starting to run slow, so I figured I'd do the old trusty Factory Restore and start fresh, always did the trick on other computers I owned with windows. Well I went through the whole process of restoring it, and did the initial system setup and naming. When it loaded my desktop for the first time it was all downhill from there. There is no IE installed, no default programs would open, instead I got this error message (example when opening Windows Mail).
    C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe
    The specified path does not exsist.
    Check the patch, and then try again.
    It does this for every program. Here's the thing the only C:\ Drive that shows up is assigned to removable disk. Here are the current labels for my default Drives.
    Lenovo(Q
    ServiceV003(S
    SW_Preload(D
    So I think the issues possibly that when it was reformatted it labeled the drive a different letter, so it's trying to pull the files from the C drive as a path,. but it needs to be q or s or d or something. Keep in mind this is my very novice theory.

    for wireless issue:
    have you checked device managemer for unknown/non-installed devices? you may need to install drivers for your adapters.
    try to press f8 when you see lenovo logo, then load "safe mode with networking", check if the adapters work.
    can you tell us what error you got when you tried to install win7? also, some of applications doesn't come with preloaded systems so you need to install them later ( as windows mail, msn messenger )

  • Sound loss, crashes and other problems

    Hello,
    I have been having some serious problems over the past several months.
    In the past it was fairly manageable, but recently things have been getting worse.
    I have a 12-inch PowerBook G4, I bought it at the McGill bookstore in October 2004. The first problem was the apparently random crashes that Mac OS X (v.10.4.8) would experience from time to time. It was fairly infrequent at first so it didn't bother me too much (and I thought it was just some sort of glitch). But it persisted and came to be expected.
    What would happen is that my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." (it would display this message in English, French, German, and Japanese for my convenience). After I restart the computer I get the message, "The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly". At first it seemed to be linked to time; after a while it would just crash, sometimes after an hour or so, sometimes after as little as five minutes. (I fear as I write this that I will have to start over). More recently I've come to associate the crashes with movement of the computer; perhaps the battery (which is pretty much dead after so much use) is affecting the performance, I don't know.
    The next problem, which coincided with the crashes, was my clock being reset. I assumed this was directly associated with the spontaneous shutdown of the computer, yet though the crashes continued, the clock was not always reset (just about a third of the time). This was a pretty frustrating inconvenience given the frequency of the crashes at the beginning.
    The major problem that prompted me to take action was the lose of sound. One day, about a month ago now, my sound suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, but then I noticed the sound was still working with some things and just not others. For example, the sound increase/decrease indicator (the 'pop' sound when turning up or down the sound) stopped working, yet the startup sound still worked. I've found that Realplayer, MPlayer X 2, and Windows Media Player work fine but iTunes, VLC, and Quicktime don't. Most of the applications simply don't make sound but when I try to video in VLC I get the following error: "auhal: we cannot find our HAL component" or "auhal: audio-device var does not exist. device probe failed."
    Other minor errors I have come across include inability to detect the Airport card (remedied upon restarting the computer) and occasional seizing up of the keyboard (the letter keys, exclusively, were unresponsive for sometime before working again suddenly without need of restart).
    I've run diagnostic tools such as Disk Utility and the 'fsck' command in single-user mode, but nothing has been detected. It consistently comes up saying that everything is alright.
    I have backed-up all important files and programs (with the exception of my Firefox bookmarks, do you know how I can save those?) and am prepared to do whatever it takes to bring my computer back to working order. I need my computer for schoolwork and assignments so if I can fix it myself in anyway... I would prefer to avoid lengthly repairs if possible.
    Please let me know what my options are, and/or possible things I can do to repair these problems. This whole affair is, unsurprisingly, driving me crazy.
    One last thing, upon launching Microsoft Word, I get the following pop-up:
    Application Launch Failure
    The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><Microsoft Word><MicrosoftLSLibZ>"
    I do not know whether this is linked to my other problems or not. This too, is something that has recently come up and is significantly affecting my work (I have had to switch to writing my essays on TextEdit).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Eric Oosenbrug

    Hi, Eric.
    1. You wrote: "...my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.""You are describing the following message:
    That indicates a kernel panic. Failure to address these when they first arise can result in bad problems becoming worse.
    See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.

  • Mail app keeps crashing (and other related problems)

    A few days ago, my Mail app began crashing on seemingly unrelated events, so I assume my data got corrupted. I won't explain all the scenarios because it's a complete mess. To keep it simple, I have only 2 accounts and they are both on Gmail, so no backups are needed. I'd like to try doing a complete wipe of all data that the Mail app uses and that should fix it.
    What files/folders does Mail use? So far, I've found:
    ~/Library/Mail
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    I've also seen someone mention ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, but I don't have this file.
    After deleting the above and creating my mail accounts, the crashes are back. The only possibilities I can think of are:
    1. I haven't deleted EVERYTHING owned by Mail yet. <-- What other files/folders belong to the Mail app?
    2. Mail is depending on something else on my system that is broken.
    3. Mail app itself somehow became corrupted.
    4. Something being synced from my Gmail is not properly being handled, resulting in a crash.
    When this started happening (if it helps):
    1 day after installing the OS X update 10.8.3 as well as MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.1, my MBP froze as soon as I loaded League of Legends. This was followed by a reboot as I couldn't Cmd+Tab out of the game. I wasn't aware of the Force Close App shortcut at the time, so I used the power button. That was the only time this happened, and it has worked fine a few times after the updates were applied and also worked after the reboot following the freeze. Since that time, I have encountered another issue where just about all of my apps crashed simultaneously -- no 3D-accelerated apps were even running this time.
    Since then, I've updated VirtualBox from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 (seemed like something that could cause this weirdness as I always have a VM running) and have not had any problems except Mail crashing all the time.
    This question is primarily about fully resetting the Mail app to clean settings/data, but any thoughts on what may have happened are also welcome

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    I kept getting this popup window...
    Warning: Unresponsive script
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script
    now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://xpirftoolbar/content/rfo_26.js:1
    There are two buttons to click either "Continue" or "Stop Script." It doesn't matter which button I choose for this to go away and I have to click several times. This usually occurs when I first open the Mozilla Firefox browser and throughout the day/night.
    There are other issues as well. I have WordPress blogs and only one of them has been experiencing some issues that I think is related to Mozilla.
    All of a sudden the following is missing from my WordPress blog at http://internettvdotcom.com in the admin section...
    Post Excerpts, Custom Fields, Screen Options & Help Links - they are all gone! This allows me to Create/Edit blog posts and pages but now I can't -- nothing is there but the post itself.
    But here's the kicker... All of these components appear when I use my Safari browser, they don't appear in my Mozilla Firefox browser (version 4.0). Also, when using the Mozilla browser to visit my site at InternetTvDotCom (only this blog and none of my other blogs) don't display certain widgets such as my Twitter and Sharebar widgets. Again Safari displays everything; there's no problem there.
    The crashes have been on-going for many months.
    I have other plugins and extensions. I will disable all of them again to see if this resolves the crashing issue but as you can see I'm having other issues also.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Multicam is coming.
    1. Sounds like your computer is underpowered.
    2. Work for me. Perhaps you aren't using the application correctly. What are you doing?
    3. You don't use the arrow key. Use the correct storyline. Select the storyline shelf and use comma or period. Or Shift-comma or Shift-period.
    4. See 1.
    5. You can use the transform function to resize the clips so they're both visible in the viewer. Resize and position one clip on the primary. Copy and paste effects to the other clips. Resize and position one clip on the secondary, copy and paste effects to the other clips in the storyline.

  • Kernel panics, crashes and other issues

    hi all -
    i've been reading through tons of posts over the last week about my issue and trying to resolve it but can't seem to get my machine up and running consistently.
    it started crashing consistently on jan 10 - suspiciously the day the itunes update came out - and i have since run the fixes people posted relating to that update to no avail.
    i keep getting kernel panics - while i'm running photoshop, safari, word, textedit, ical, etc. i took it to a mac authorized repair shop, but they gave it back to me saying they couldn't duplicate the issue described. it started happening again right away - i unplugged everything except the keyboard and mouse. still got them. have run disk utility from the startup disks several times.
    one thing i noticed was it seems to repair the same problem every time - "invalid extent entry". i found a post on this board that said only disk warrior can fix that problem in 10.3.9. disk utility says it fixes it, but it comes up every time...
    also - after i downloaded and ran onyx it seemed to be better for the last two days. and then today i plugged my scanner in and tried using it. it crashed photoshop and then everything else started crashing even though i unplugged the scanner. i tried looking for a driver update for it, but os 10 couldn't open the file i downloaded from epson - which was:
    TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.65A
    Macintosh OS X (v10.2.x - 10.3.x)
    epson11385.sea.hqx - 34.2MB - posted on 04/18/05
    a window popped up that said the file didn't appear to be compressed and i should get more information from the manufacturer. i read on this forum that bad drivers can cause kernel panics, but i can't seem to load the update. i also trashed my epson printer driver for good measure.
    1) so my first question is: could the invalid extent entry problem be causing kernel panics? or are the two unrelated? should i definitely download disk warrior to fix that?
    2) also something i haven't been clear about regarding repairing permissions - do you have to boot from another drive to repair permissions? my internal drive is my startup disk, and i don't have a bootable external drive. i tried repairing permissions with onyx, but it crashes every time. is this because i need to boot from another disk? how do you do that and run onyx?
    3) has anyone had the problem with panther not opening the epson 4870 driver update?
    i've been trying to solve this for weeks...i'm about to swear off technology altogether and move to the mountains.
    thanks for any suggestions you might have!

    You are doing fine. Don't beat up on yourself (bad ram will do pleanty of that by itself).
    Until you get the ram figured out there is no hope for a stable system. If you have bad ram then it will corrupt the system as fast as you can repair it.
    If you have the hardware test disk it has a ram tester that can, depending on the system and disk, run in extended(on the menu) or looped mode(command l). It usually reports which stick of ram is bad. On a desktop this is a big deal.
    On a laptop it is much easier. You usually have a limited number of ram slots. I don't know what mac you are running because you have not filled out any of the info for your profile.
    Pull all but one stick of ram and run on the other to see if that helps. If no change, run on the other stick and see if that helps. If all the ram is non Apple then it could be either. Apple ram is usually, but not always, good ram that stays good. By the way, with the dry weather we are having it is important not to risk static zapping of your mac. The easiest way to ground yourself is to be bare foot then touch the power supply case or other metal interior surface of the computer before tackling the electronics.
    I like Crucial Ram but OWC also has a lifetime guarantee and they stand behind the ram. If the vendor of replacement ram has a bench tester then that is the best you can do without putting the ram in your mac.
    Once you get good ram in your mac then concentrate on the system. In my opinion, Disk Warrior is the only utility that one needs to purchase for X. It can keep fixing your directory but if the ram is bad X will keep getting corrupted again.
    That the permissions are not running off of disk is, yes, a bad sign.
    When the ram is replaced;
    If you have a backup hard drive I'd make sure that it has, at a minimum, all your user data. You can also do this with cd/dvd's.
    Reformat the hard drive and zero it to map out bad blocks.The system and applications can be reloaded later and your user data can be imported to the clean, new system. That is what I would make my mind up on doing.
    It may be possible to keep your current system running with good ram and Disk Warrior but the odds are that some files have been corrupted and will rear their ugly heads in the future.
    Just my 2 cents.

  • Is it possible to restore lost windows? Firefox crashed, and only 5 of my open windows reopened, even though all settings are such that all should be restored.

    Unfortunately when I restarted Firefox after its most recent crash, most of my open windows and tabs were not restored as they are set to do and as they usually do after a crash. Not that I enjoy Firefox crashing, but usually everything reopens and life goes on. However, after a crash tonight, when I next opened Firefox about 80% of my open windows and tabs did not reopen.
    After this (most recent) crash most of my windows and tabs were not restored:
    bp-e7f145b9-04cf-4de8-a4a4-8e2952130816
    This was the most recent prior crash where my windows and tabs were restored:
    bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815
    **I would love to have these windows and tabs reset, or at least be able to find a list of them to reopen them manually.**
    I am running Firefox 23.0. My antivirus and antispyware were run overnight last night with no issues.
    (This is on my desktop computer using Windows XP. I also have a laptop which runs Firefox 23.0 which uses Windows 7. Firefox on it crashes as well, but thankfully thus far the windows and tabs have been restored. I use it less than I do my desktop, however.)
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you -- I will do so. Still, I'm very eager to restore (or find a list of) my windows and tabs that were not restored after the last crash. Is it possible to do that from the last working restore?
    The last two working restores were after the crash mentioned above, bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815, and before that, bp-7f5b697e-c4c5-4cb8-9b15-9318c2130815.
    FWIW, I just updated to 23.0.1. Thank you *very* much!

  • Safari and firefox crashes and others

    I got my Macbook pro last week
    I have been using safari and it crashes randomly or gets stuck then I tried using firefox and its the same.
    I was using speech recognition and it crashed
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it, do you think its a sypware or some thing since I downloaded third party apps
    Message was edited by: farazthambi

    HI,
    I just realized no one responded to your questions...
    If Safari is crashing, try resetting it. Launch Safari, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari.
    Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Takes about a minute to do this then you can use Safari again.
    No, it's not spyware, just a glitch with the browser. It happens.
    One thing you can do for quicker safer browsing is use Open DNS Click the computer icon and follow the instructions.
    Your Mac will run cron tasks (maintenance) for you if you leave it on (not in Sleep mode) at least one night a week. Read here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2319

  • Adobe Flash crashes and other questions about Flash

    There have been several instances of Adobe Flash crashes whether I am using Firefox, IE or Google Chrome browsers - and simply reloading the page corrects this BUT recurs again and again.
    I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit in which the Flash program apparently comes embedded in the OS as a 32/64 bit hybrid. When I inspect the Flash version add-on in Firefox, and run an update check, Adobe reports, correctly, that my system is Windows 64bit , English, Firefox. Then, when I do the same in Windows Internet Explorer by checking the embedded version, I get a message that KB2999249 is available for download to correct Flash issues in IE. Since that install, Flash hasn't crashed in IE [yet].
    So, my question is: How can I be certain that when Firefox reports that Flash is "up-to-date" that it is indeed a 64bit compatible version? Note that the Adobe download site only identifies one available version for Firefox, IE and Google - the current version being 15.0.0.152 file: NPSWF32_15_0_0_152.
    Does the "32" part of the file name suggest that it is a 32bit application and, if so, where can I find NPSWF64_15_o_o_152 [if it exists]?
    ''edited the title of this thread to reflect the questions asked''

    I now understand the version nuances between the browsers and thanks for the response. Now what, if anything, can I do to address the continuum of Flash crashes since I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only user experiencing this anomaly?

  • Structured framemaker window does not maximize and other issues

    Dear All,
    My questions concerns the use of FM11 & FM12 in Structured FrameMaker mode under Windows 8.1.
    When FM is started in Structured mode I find that the FrameMaker window is a fraction of the size that it was when operating in Unstructured mode. When the FM (structured) window is maximized instead of the window occupying the full screen as expected it occupies only about 2/3 of the screen. The receptors of dialog buttons (e.g. the OK and CANCEL buttons) are not at the locations of the on screen drawings of the buttons. In short, the Structured FrameMaker interface is not functional. And to be clear the interface of the Unstructured version of the program works in the expected manner.
    My reason for operating with Structured FrameMaker in the first place is to workaround a very serious deficiency in the Unstructured version of the program in which attempting to print a book to the Adobe PDF virtual printer causes FrameMaker to crash. Another gripe with FrameMaker is that the Save As PDF file option fails to properly render the document - typically incorrect fonts are used in the output PDF file, equations are clipped, etc. etc. It is this deficiency that means we must print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
    We are also experiencing intermittent crashing of the program in versions 11 & 12 for no apparent reason whereas previously (version 7, 5.5) the program seemed to be more robust.
    Are others experiencing a significant deterioration in the performance of FrameMaker in recent releases? Are you considering changing to a different program? If so, what programs are you considering?
    Many thanks,
    David.

    David,
    FYI, the SaveAsPDF route also uses the AdobePDF printer instance, so some of the issues are due to selected output options and Distiller joboptions.  Also, both versions (structured and unstructured) use the same output mechanism independent of the interface.
    The appearance of the interface is a function of the Workspace selected and any customization done by the user of that interface. You can create your own layouts and save them as required as a custom Workspace.
    What did you select when you used the SaveAsPDF - RGB or CMYK? What joboptions file was specified?
    Are you using any OTF Pro level or TTF WGL fonts? Is your joboptions file specifying that all fonts be embedded?
