Windows 7 disable Acrobat

I was trying to create a PDF out of a 2007 Word document. Adobe Acrobat kept freezing during the conversion with several attempts. The Word document was large (32 pages with photos imbedded). At one point Windows 7 put up a pop-up box that said something like 'Windows disabled files'. Adobe has not worked since then. I reinstalled Acrobat 8 Standard and also tried repairing. I am now unable to create PDF's at all. The program tells me "Missing PDFMaker files'.
How do I un-disable - or - reinable the files Windows 7 appears to continue to disable?

You have to activate the AA8 PDF Maker macro in OFFICE 2007 or it is ignored. I forgot where it is, but there is an enable that you have to check. Probably under the "file">Options>Addins. If the file is large, you should look to reducing the size of images and such (like 256 colors) and emptying the TEMP folder to not crash the conversion. To get what is needed, you might find it better to just open the WORD file and print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you want the links, then go back and check the preferences, disabling things like tags that bloat the PDF.

Resize javascript debugger window in acrobat

I feel stupid. I am trying to learn adobe javascripting. I am following Adobe's web tutorial.(The tutorial screen shots have nice big windows.) However the console window only shows 40 characters to a line. On this debug window, there is no resize icon in the upper right hand corner of the window. I tried to right click and drag sides, corners, top, and bottom, but no luck. I get a double-ended arrow like it should resize, but the window The acrobat pro window is full-size, but the debug window is only 1/6th of that window.
I am using a laptop with Vista Home Premium with Adobe Acrobat 9 with its latest updates.
I took a look at the general support group, but just questions about using Adobe Acrobat. I went back two months on the scripting group with no luck.
Thank you

you can grab the bottom right corner of the acrobat debug window to resize. You'll want to make sure to grab the little dotted triangle icon inside the window, not the actual corner of the window itself.

HOW DO I DISABLE ACROBAT 9 AS ADD ON

HOW DO I DISABLE ACROBAT 9 TO USE WORD 2010

The easy way (not necessarily the correct way) is to move the PDF Maker files out of the addon folder of WORD (and this may not work). The proper way is to do a modification installation of Acrobat and use the custom install to remove the PDF Maker functionality. Go to START>Settings>Control Panel>Programs & Features (Add/Remove Programs in XP) and select Acrobat. There should be an option to uninstall/change. You want to do the change.

Cannot disable Acrobat PDF support in Safari

I want to disable Acrobat PDF support in Safari. I open Acrobat 8.0.1, go to Preferences>Internet, and uncheck "Display PDF in browser using Acrobat 8.0.1". I click OK.
However, when I quit Acrobat and Safari and re-opened Safari, Acrobat PDF was still enabled. I went back to Acrobat, opened up Preferences, and sure enough the "Display PDF in browser..." checkbox was checked again!
So I unchecked it once more and clicked OK to close Preferences. I figured I'd open Preferences once more to see if it worked - and to my amazement "Display PDF in browser..." was checked again!
It seems it is impossible for me to turn this off. Any ideas how I can disable this without uninstalling Acrobat?
I've tried going to Help>Repair Acrobat to disable the PDF plug-in, but it doesn't appear in the list. The only plug-in listed is the one for making PDF files from Microsoft Office applications.

Chris,
Go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin.

How to check Windows for Acrobat Reader?

Hello, everyone. I hope you are having a nice weekend! :)
I'm trying to check to see if Windows XP PCs have Acrobat
Reader installed on a button that launches a PDF file. This is what
I have:
on mouseUp
set Acrobat = baFindApp( "pdf" )
if Acrobat = "" then
Alert "You will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to view
the PDF documents properly."
else
baOpenFile(the pathName&"Data/button1.pdf","")
end if
end
This launches the PDF on Windows if Acrobat is installed
without errors, but when I uninstall Reader and click on the
button, nothing happens. I don't get the alert and I don't get the
PDF launched.
This script actually gives me the alert on the Mac, but it's
moot.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It's not clear if you uninstalled Reader and then rebooted...
this might give a false positive... also, the notes for the docs
strongly suggest that baFindApp() looks for the registration of the
file extension which would be located in the registry...
... an interesting note: if Adobe Acrobat and Reader are both
installed, for instance, then the baFindApp() call will return
Acrobat.exe as the application (on my system, anyways) -
technically, Acrobat, Reader and GoLive have all registered .pdf on
my machine, but the registry lists entries alphabetically so
Acrobat gets the recognition, so-to-speak.
It would appear that baFindApp() has a flaw if two or more
applications have registered the same extension.

Disabling Acrobat

I'll never criticize Adobe for inventing Acrobat and the PDF format, but let's face it... each new iteration of the reader makes opening documents slower and slower. Even a moderate sized document can take an hour to open on my G5 iMac when it's launched from within Safari, if it opens at all.
Preview, on the other hand, opens just about any sized PDF almost instantly.
How do I force Safari to use Preview with all PDFs that I want to view?
In many cases I can use Control-Click>Save on the link, then open with Preview, but sometimes that option doesn't work. It's also an extra step.
Save me from Acrobat, pleeeeeeesse!

Hello cp_whaley,
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
* What kind of version of Acrobat are you using? If you use version 7 than there a lot of features in it you probable never will use. You can increase the Acrobat by doing the following.
You can optimize Adobe Reader 7 by removing unnecessary plug-ins. Here's how I did it. Note that this tip requires write access to /Applications):
Navigate to /Applications/Adobe Reader 7; control-click on the applicaiton and select Show Package Contents, then open the Contents folder in the new window that opens.
Create a folder named "Plug-ins (disabled)"
Open the regular "Plug-ins" folder, and then drag all plug-ins into the "Plug-ins (disabled)" folder except for the following:
WebLink.acroplugin
ImageViewer.acroplugin
EScript.acroplugin
Search.acroplugin
Escript is necessary for WebLink to work, but won't do anything with JavaScript disabled (assuming you've disabled it per the instructions in my other hint ).
If you don't care about following web hyperlinks in documents you read, you can move all plug-ins except Search into the disabled folder. Since I have also disabled automatic Reader updates, I don't need the updater plug-in, but you may want to keep it in otherwise. To re-enable a plug-in, drag it (and any other plug-in it depends on) back to the "Plug-ins" folder.
With plug-ins disabled, my Reader is faster and uses a smaller memory footprint -- 18.5MB versus 26MB of real memory, and 187MB versus 230MB of virtual memory.
[robg adds: You can also disable plugins through the Finder's Get Info window. Just click on the Reader application, hit Command-I, and then expand the Plug-Ins section. Disable those you don't wish to use. The above method has the advantage of being somewhat easier to work with, as the Plug-Ins section is tiny and requires a lot of scrolling about.]
To do this takes about 5 to 10 minutes of work ...
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

Hi,
You will not be able to do this with a standard radio button, as each one will be in a separate instance of the row.
The easiest way is to use a checkbox (as you can script this on/off) and then make it look like a radio button.
Example here:

Hope that helps,

Adobe Creative Cloud on Windows + Adobe Acrobat - Keeps going into Demo mode

Hi,
Not sure my subject line is accurate, but here's my situation.
I have Adobe Creative Cloud - Student Membership.
I have it installed on my Macbook Pro on both the Mac OS X 10.9.2 and Windows 8.1 (Boot Camp) side.
So this counts as two computers... I have not installed it on any other computer. Nor have I attempted to sign in to it on any other computer.
On the Mac side everything is fine.
On the Windows side... Creative Cloud refuses to stay signed in. Now, I don't mind clicking sign in and typing my password... it's annoying, but fine... I'll deal with it.
What I do mind... is Acrobat closing after about 30-45 seconds while I'm in the middle of doing something. I'll have set everything up and then bam the window closes, no warnings, no requests to save... NOTHING...
So, I'll do it again... and again... it'll happen. Eventually it asks me to sign back in and then I'm good for a while. But it reverts to Demo mode saying I have no trial days left. But, I'm a paying member!!!! I shouldn't have to a) log in every day (or sometimes several times a day) or b) have my program literally close without warning while I'm working in it - and sometimes not being able to save the work I just did - and twice already stuff that I CAN'T get back (luckily nothing critical yet).
Now the shutting down/closing issue seems to be only Acrobat. The other apps seem to behave as long as I log in with the Creative Cloud systray app.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!

MaxSvedlove please see You are no longer signed into your Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html for information on how to resolve your sign in difficulties.

Jabber for Windows - Disable "Sign me in when Cisco Jabber starts"?

I am looking for a way to disable the auto sign-in checkbox for Jabber for Windows. this is an issue in LDAP authenticated roll-outs when password policies are in effect (change passwords every 90 days). When auto sign in is enabled for jabber after an LDAP password change, Jabber will lock out the user account the first time it is launched.

Hi,
If I understood you correctly, you are looking for a way to remove ability for users so they can't set autologin?
I think there is no option that will give you that ability at this moment.
You can file enhancment request if you think that option is neccery.

Frames vs. Windows in Acrobat 9

We recently upgraded from Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9.
Users who open multiple PDF documents in Acrobat have reported the default behavior of Acrobat 9 in opening PDFs is to use a new frame for each document that is opened.
They report that Acrobat 7 used multiple windows in a single frame as the default behavior.
Can this be changed in Acrobat 9 and if so, how?
Thanks,
Jesse Perry

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405108&sliceId=1
which was in november 2008....
why hasnt any thing else been done about it? I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
Please do this if you havent already:

New PC Windows 7, Acrobat 9 toolbar, pdf printer

and save as PDF don't work nor appear. Pop up MSG says Adobe app. not found, contact administrator. I suspect it's a 64 bit issue but
do not know next steps in spite of hours of searching on line in forums and Google. Any help appreciated, and yes it worked fine before in
32 bit Vista. JIm
BTW downloaded and installed the only Adobe 64 bit filter for Acrobat Pro 9.0 available. No change.

OK here's the deal, it's a windows 7 permissions issue. Had to download some amateur
.exe files to override the protection for program installation, and now it works. Adobe would
recognize my serial numbers though so now I'm on a 30 day trail and will have to fight with some CS person on the other side of the world to get my software (legal and paid for) recognized.
Of course now my security is compromised, what a challenge MS has handed me for W7!

Unable to Open Multiple Windows Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and recently am unable to open multiple documents at one time without an error occurring and Adobe shutting down. I use multiple screens and want one doc open while I review or compare with another doc. It is happening on two machines at my home both running Windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
Back to the OP. To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe. I used the path you suggested. However, I'm still having the same problem.
When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files. However, I ignored this and followed your guidance. Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
What else can you advise?
Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall? I don't even know if this will work.
