Windows & and Acrobat Reader

Hi All,
I read through some threads, do not know if I missed the one I was looking for, however does anyone else have trouble with Windows 7 and the Latest Acrobat Reader when attempting to download a PDF files from Web sources it often will not do it and just comes up with an error message saying actually that! I know or I am starting to learn that there are many Compatibility issues with Windows 7 and existing software programs, especially when you are running a 64Bit, it is all becoming much of a nightmare as there are a lot of programs that I have migrated from XP that just do not upgrade or the upgrade will not take on Windows 7, anyway if any one else has the problem with Reader could you please advise, Thank You.... raafted

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
Acrobat Reader 9 problems
I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

Amanda,
As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader bug over HTTPS

Hi all,
I have a web application which generates PDF files over an HTTPS connection and displays them inside the browser window. This application worked fine in Safari 3 and with Acrobat Reader 8. Now with Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader 8 or 9, the window stays white (Reader 9) or black (Reader 8) or displays an eternally spinning cursor. When i switch to Preview , it works fine. Right clicking on the PDF then and asking to display it in Acrobat also works fine, so I think it might be related to Safari 4.
Anyone had the same problem, or anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem.
Michael

Hi akayib;
In order to help you, you are going to have to tell us the web site you attempted to add.

Can you please put me in touch with the support for the trial copy of adobe acrobat XI pro which I had tried out on March 15 for 30 days. I have been trying to cancel since the cost is too much and Acrobat Reader is OK for me. I can't find uninstaller.

I have had to erase my disk since then with trouble with Apple Store not recognising my machine and the reload from Time Machine has given complications . Can you please cancel my trial and return my Trial money.

If you paid for what you used then it was not a trial.

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

Hi-
Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

Any chance you are also using Quickbooks? I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between Quickbooks and Acrobat 9. My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit. According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8. So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8. The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully. Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
The problem is not in opening Acrobat. It opens just fine. It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

Why is our CRM and Acrobat Reader breaking each other ?

Hi everyone.
We are facing here a probleme for years, since Reader 6 thru the latest 9, installed yesterday.
We have 4 Windows Server Terminal serveur (2x2000 with Citrix,2x2003 with only Microsoft Terminal server.). We are hosting a simple CRM application, but made as an ACTIVEX Document Object (Visual Basic .VBD). So, to launch the application, we have to use Internet Explorer (5/6/7).
On the sames servers is installed a bunch of Acrobat reader 6/8/9.
Each time we reinstall a new version of our CRM, it broke the PDF integration in Internet explorer. That is, if you click on link to a pdf file, the PDF is not shown in Internet explorer, but rather Acrobat opens and display... an empty error message with just OK on it.
Each time we install a new version of Acrobat, our application is quite functionning, but some links are not fonctionning (it opens a dialog asking what to do with .vbd file).
(Yes, we use the /install switch to be sure to be in install and not execute mode)
The work around is to go to install mode, reinstall the crm, verify it works, and then launch Acrobat reader and untick browser integration, quit acrobat, restart acrobat and tick again browser integration.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work completely (PDF file are loaded without errors but in a separate windows, even with browser integration ticked).
Any advice, observation or guru meditation is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, it was not clear:
One of the citrix is hosting Reader 6,
the other one is hosting reader 8,
and the 2 2003's are hosting reader 9.
So, on one machine, there's only one version of Reader installed.

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.

Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 and Acrobat Reader 9.0 crashing when trying to print

The subject line says it all, but I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard 10.5.5 and now when I select File | Print I get the spinning beach ball than Acrobat crashes. Now oddly, if I use Acrobat Reader 7.0.9, it prints perfectly. But have Acrobat Pro 8.1.12 crash every time the File | Print is selected is a major problem. And no, not even the dialog box comes up first, Acrobat just goes down.
Has anyone else seen this? I saw in the forum others were have problems creating PDF's, something I haven't done yet.

Try the following: (I have no idea if it will help but might be worth a shot.
Its possible That you need to update the driver shown in Printer Utility.
Locate Adobe PDF 8.0 (what evr the latest version is.
Now delete from Printer Utilities List, and quit Printer Utility.
Now open Acrobat 8.1.2 and go to help menu.
Now choose reapir or Replace.
uncheck PDFViewer and check Adobe PDF
Now click okay to repair.
If you have acrobat 9. all previous acrobat versions will work with the Adobe PDF 9.0 Driver just fine. It just will not try to use new features added since 9.0.
Also, It possible that your Print Driver for your printer has been updated with the new Sysytem Upgrade.
If so remove the printer listed from the Printer Utility List.
the click on add printer. look for the driver for your printer listed choose make default then quit.
Try Acrobat 8 again and then go to set up menu see if you can find your printer listed. is so choose and save as default.

StageWebView and Acrobat Reader Not Working

Hi,
I started noticing this back in AIR 3.6. It seems that now when using StageWebView to display a pdf file, it just opens a blank window and no longer loads the adobe reader plugin to display the pdf. Has anyone else seen this?
thx

Hi Keith,
It sounds like this might be a bug. Would you mind entering it over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the bug number once you get it and I'll follow up internally. By the way, what platform were you on?
Thanks,
Chris

Create an interactive pdf that works in Apple Preview (and Acrobat Reader)

Hi,
I've created a very large interactive document for a client in InDesign CS6, which has buttons that help the user go to various locations in the doc and back, and have only rollover states on all the buttons. The interactivity works fine in Acrobat Pro, but my client wants it to work in Apple Preview. How do I make it work in Preview? If I can also get it to work in Acrobat Reader that would be a bonus too.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
Gary

Thanks Peter and UWE,
Upon further testing, it appears that most of the interactivity seems to be working in Preview now, but some buttons do not show up correctly, whereas most of the others do.
The ones that aren't showing up correctly are primarily on the main Home page. They are all rectangle buttons, with a photographic background in the button and the name of the link to the section on top of the button, like "introduction", "Product", etc. The button itself works in Preview, but the photograph placed in the button doesn't appear, all you see is the name of the the button without the image in the background.
Any clues on how to fix this this?
Thanks

Preview and Acrobat Reader not opening pdf documents

I downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader on my new iMac and since then old, new and every other pdf document won't open with a message stating it was damaged etc. Previous good pdf won't open and I fear it is down to installing Acrobat reader. Any ideas?
Just want to see pdf documents

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Synchronising screens of Pages and Acrobat Reader (Parallel scrolling)

Is there a way to synchronise scrolling between two applications (Pages on one side, Acrobat reader on the other) so that with one mouse I scroll down the both simultaneously ?
I'm reading a PDF and reading in the same time the same text on Pages.
Thx
D.
PS : my apologies for my englih - French guy talking here.

All your problems seem to stem from the PDFs that you are making from Bridge. What you are describing should be perfectly possible, but the fact that Bridge doesn't want to make a PDF with more than 400 photos and it all goes downhill from there makes me suspect Bridge.
Here's a plugin that may help? Looks pretty cheap for what it does.
Apart from that I'd try to clean up the PDFs that Bridge is producing if Indesign doesn't like them. One way would be to print to a new PDF, after you've combined them as necessary.
As to the last pronlem you mention, where it forces you to place on page 226, have you tried creating a blank page 227 first, before you try placing?
