Windows Search 4.0 and Adobe Reader 9.2

I've a small search utility that uses Windows Search 4.0 as the search engine. My utility queries Windows Search and retrieves the results. I've a few PDF files as well to search. I'm able to search a few of these PDFs using the my utility and some of the PDFs are never returned in the search results, although, I copy a phrase in that PDF and search. Search fails when I try from Windows Search interface as well.
As I understand, the IFilter is bundled with the Adobe Reader package from AR 8.0. So, I've not installed it separately. The strange thing some PDFs are searchable and some or not. Am not sure as what could be the issue here . Anyone else have faced this issue? Am not sure what to look for to resolve this issue?

I have just encountered the same problem. I am using the HTC Titan phone by Sprint with WM6 and Adobe Reader LE 2.0. I am only interested in internal document links (jumps to other pages). I tried two PDFs which work fine on the PC under Reader 7.0 but don't work on the HTC. I even tried setting the conversion option on ActiveSync to OFF.
At this time, even Foxit Reader doesn't support internal links. I wonder if LE worked fine under WM5?
Please help me resolve this one. Thank you,
Bob

  • Windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9

    I have windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9.  When i open pdf files from a website i cannot save the document.  I don't get an error message, it just does not open.

    Have you tried capturing these application in separate packages?  I have been successful in capturing IE8 in one package and Adobe Reader XI in another package and then using the OptionalAppLinks option in the IE8 package to point to the Adobe Reader dat file.  Just make sure that both packages work outside of the applinking.  Also, you can try to install Adobe to the native machine and see if the embedded pdfs work in the virtual IE package. 
    These are just the troubleshooting steps that I would take to narrow down what is causing the issue you are seeing.

  • Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

    Hello,
    I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

    I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro.  But in editable PDF combobox search is  not working properly.
    It's only search first character.

    My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
    Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

  • Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 under Windows 8.1 x64

    Good Afternoon,
    my company plan migration from Windows XP to Windows 8.1 x64. For this reason shall I find out, which Software run under Windows 8.1 x64. From Adobe Products we need to know, if  Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 run under Windows 8.1. 
    If the Software named above run not under Windows 8.1 x64, could you write me please, which version we need und how much it is. Thank you very much.
    Best Regards

    If you have Acrobat, there is no need for Reader. Acrobat 8 is not certified for use on Win8.1, only Acrobat XI. You can get the current cost from the Adobe Store at Adobe.com. The cost is a per computer license. If you have a lot of computer, you might be able to negotiate with Adobe on a volume order or site license (for so many licenses) -- you would have to call Adobe on that.
    AA 8 can be made to work in some cases, but I would not recommend it in a business environment. It is not worth risking some hickup with software that is marginally compatible when you have some deadline or such.

    I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS.  While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one.  This is a big problem.  I must be able to save on the newer computer.  Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS?  Please help.

    Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

  • Google Calendar will not print in Firefox 19.0 and adobe reader x when one presses the print button in the popup window.

    I have the monthly calendar on screen, click the more button, click print. Another window pops up and when I click the print button nothing happens. I am using Firefox 19.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The print function works in IE and Chrome.

    this solution did NOT work for me. I still cannot print a Google calendar page in Firefox. I can in IE. And I can print Gmail.

  • Cant find print function windows 8 and adobe reader

    I have windows 8 and adobe reader 9.5. how do i print?

    I resolved my issue! The new app format with windows 8 takes time to master. The adobe reader does not have a friendly toolbar. No print function on the bottom tool bar when all other actions except printing are noted. I finally decided to check my main side tool bar and there was my printer seeing the adobe file and ready to print. So I resolved my issue but very much appreciate your reaching out to help me. Thank you!

  • Same message 2 dnld Plugin, (Java), and Adobe Reader: Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.E

    Spent all afternoon downloading Java plugiins and Adobe reader; each with the following "failure message."
    Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.

    This is going to sound lame, but... have you shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began? Sometimes the Windows Installer starts behaving erratically, perhaps due to a backlog of deferred updates, and the only way to get around it is to reboot.

  • I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.  When I click on a .PDF file, Adobe Reader does not open the file.  I installed Adobe Reader on a Lenovo G480 laptop using Windows 8.  When I attempted to open a file called I believe G480_user_guide.PDF, a file called something like Nitro_PDF opened.  When I right clicked G480_user_guide.PDF and chose Open With, I found that Nitro_PDF was the default program for opening the file.  I tried to change to another program but found that Adobe Reader was not listed.  I chose the option for searching the computer for a file to open.  I found the folder Adobe in Program Files x64 but I was not able to find an executable.  Where is the Adobe Reader executable or what other method can I use for establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    Yes, I have now learned how to make a search with the Google search engine.  I am gradually learning how to use my new Lenovo laptop computer with Windows 8.  I learned yesterday that I can make a search with the Google search engine if I enter the search query in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser.  I think it was the Bing search engine that gave me the sites advertising Adobe Reader download but actually provided the download of a reader other than Adobe.
    In my opinion, Windows 8 is significantly different from Windows 7 and that it has hazards and pitfalls.
    I thank all of those who have replied to the initial inquiry.

  • Mavericks: Firefox and Adobe reader as standard applications?

    Mavericks: I want Firefox as my standard browser and Adobe reader to open PDFs. But every time I start my iMac, Safari and Preview are set as standards again. Example: when I click a link in Mail, Safari opens instead of Firefox. So every day I have to change these settings again. What to do?

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
    Allow user to administer this computer
    Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • SDK to allow Searching of documents in Adobe Reader

    Is there an SDK available that will allow for searching a document in  Adobe Reader?  I'd prefer something that can be used in c# or c++.  I  know the DDE and IAC SDKs are available for Adobe Acrobat, but they are  not functional with Adobe Reader.

    I'll specify a bit further. This will need to be an external c#/C++ application, not a plugin.
    lrosenth, I noticed you had mentioned in this post that Reader supports DDE.  In the SDK, there is a sample in VB that uses DDE to perform a query on a document.  I have been unsuccessful in getting this sample to work.  Is there any documentation on using DDE with C++ or C# to interact with Reader?  Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.
