XI Pro, Excel 2013, Win 8.1: Opening a pdf embedeed in Excel starts Acrobat in Maximized Window

I am embedding (Insert/Object/Adobe Acrobat Document) pdf's in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm using the option to show the pdf as an icon.
That all works fine.
When I double click the icon Acrobat is starting in a maximized Windows window.
It is filling up my entire monitor with Acrobat.
Normally when I start Acrobat it takes the window shape from the last time I closed it.
Is there any way to control the Window size when opening a pdf from inside Excel?
Thanks.

The virtualization technology provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. This isolated environment allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer."

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

I would try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat 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.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC? Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC? Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

Just downloaded abobe pro and it feezes everytime i open a pdf file....

I just subscribed to the monthly plan for Adobe Pro XI and it freezes every time I open a Pdf file from my hard drive. Any suggestions?

Seeing as this issue is persisting and that an efficient or meaningful resolve is apparently not in the cards, I am requesting a full refund.
Please advise next steps.

Opening multiple PDFs outside of browser in Acrobat 9 Std/Pro

Just got off the phone with Adobe's TS and was unhappy that they took the functionality of opening multiple PDFs outside of the browser and have it be contained in ONE window from Adobe 9. Unless someone else can tell me how to set this option up again, I'm sticking with 8 until there's an update to this.

I believe this was a permanent change. See the following link and conversation thread:

"Atin Wadehra - 2:39am Jul 30, 08 PST (#9 of 16)
Aandi,
The failure reason suggested by you provided me the solution for getting my my code to work. There is a setting in Acrobat to either open the each document in separate window or to share Acrobat's window.
The setting is Edit->Preferences->Documents->Open Settings section "Show each document in its own window (requies restart)"
Thanks for the help again

However, that preference is NO LONGER present in Acrobat/Reader 9. In version 9, we ONLY operate in SDI mode. So even with that fix for Acrobat/Reader 8 - you will STILL break in version 9.
You MUST rethink your code...

When openning a PDF file, a new tab will open but it will be blank, it does not download or open any pdf files, this just started the last 3 days....!!!!

Hi,
I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
Regards,
Emre

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

After I installed adobe reader 11 I can't open any pdf. The reader starts but no file appears

After I installed reader 11 I cant open any pdf files. Reader opens but no files appear then it shuts down after a few seconds.
Thanks

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If that doesn't help, please let us know your operating system.

LINK : open a PDF at a specific size (acrobat X)

Hi all,
I'm creating links between several PDF files.
For some links, I open the PDF a new window (with regular link options).
But, I need to open the pdf at a specific size, as a HTML/ javascript popup.
Is ther a way to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance .

Yes , the feature is available in Acrobat.Any section on a page can be defined as a named destination. The panel to do so is available through View->Navigation Panel->Destinations. Also there is a list of PDF open parameters which can be given in command line , one of them is nameddest. So if you select a section on the page and name it X, and give acrord32.exe /a nameddest=X filename.pdf, the focus would be on section X. These command line parameters are honored by both Acrobat and Reader but destinations can be viewed and added through Acrobat only. Needless to say, this would work even if the page number changes.

Sanika

15" Macbook Pro, late 2013. When I open word document, no matter I choose to enable or disable "macro", the program will terminate automatically.

The word document crash when start up. Any suggestion.

You should contact Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

Only able to open one .pdf without having to restart Acrobat

I am running Acrobat X Standard on Windows XP. Suddenly earlier this week, I have begun having a problem in which I can only one .pdf document without having to exit and reopen the program entirely. If you try to open a second, the sidebar with bookmarks is visible, but you can't view the document itself. The screen where .pdf is normally displayed is transparent (showing the gray Acrobat background).
Any suggestions?

Hi RahulTyagi4you
Thanks for your reply; however, I've messed something up on my computer. I've been cleaning up my Dell Latitude laptop by disabling programs that aren't necessary in my start-up and deleting old apps that are no longer needed to not only clean up but speed up my laptop and everything is working great now except whatever I did, my computer no longer recognizes that I subscribe the the monthly Acrobat Pro XI online subscription (I pay $21.19 with tax per month). Now, I can't password protect a PDF document so I'm not sure what I need to do to correct my problem. I'm sure it's something simple. Well, at least the computer is running faster and better minus my subscription to Acrobat Pro Thanks for letting me know that it wasn't a Norton 360 or Chrome issue. That helped. tstepup22

Open a pdf via vba in existing acrobat window

Hi,
Part of my MSAccess 2007 management application manages document.
By clicking on a document record it would open it using either OLE or DDE depending on the adobe version installed (full or only reader).
I have an unsolved problem with the OLE code.
Opening documents with AVDOC.Open works fine but will always open a new instance (new window) of adobe acrobat even if adobe acrobat is already active and open without document.
Weird as if you click on a pdf in explorer for instance it would open it it the existing window.
If I try to open it using creating a new instance of AcroExch.AVDOC and AVDOC.OpenInWindowEx the avdoc is populated with the file as AVDOC.Gettitle returns the title and AVDOC.IsValid returns true but the document does not show up in the existing adobe acrobat window.
What am I missing ?
Reason why I want to implement it is as working with two screens I want to have the adobe document on the second screen while working with the application on one screen. By using AVDOC.Open I always need to drag the new opened window to the other screen although there is an instance (window) of adobe acrobat open on the desktop without documents in it (I test it as it is obviously a correct behavior if there would be an open document in it).
thks in advance for advise.
Andre

Hi,
You know I have to thank you for the solution as by asking your question you provided me with a way to solve my problem .....
As double clicking a pdf file when the application is open with no open document works as I want it to (i.e. showing the new document in the existing acrobat window), so I decided to try out a plain vanilla shell instruction in vba instead of the AVDOC.Open statement ... and ....although not very programmatically aesthetic .... it works.

When I open a PDF in Firefox using the Acrobat plugin, it prevents me from entering text anywhere else in Firefox

I like to have multiple tabs open in Firefox. If one of those tabs contains a PDF, I am unable to enter text anywhere else in Firefox, such as if I want to type a URL or use the Google search box. I have to close the PDF in order to be able to type again. Is there any way to fix this?

Starting in Firefox 19, PDF files will display by default in a built-in viewer. This viewer does not yet support all of the features of the Adobe viewer, and may also have some bugs. Other than changing viewers, as described in the following article, I'm not sure what to suggest.
[[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

Everytime i open a pdf or try to use acrobat in any way, the program freezes/crashes with error message "(not responding)." Ive called Adobe and had remote support, reinstalled acrobat, repaired it, etc. Any Ideas?

I can't use acrobat XI at all, so ive resorted back to plain Reader X even though I pay for the Acrobat Pro. I have a new Samsung laptop with 6GB dual drive RAM and Windows 8.1 - 64 bit. That should be enough to run Acrobat

Hi Ryan ,
Please follow the below mentioned steps and see if that helps.
Delete all the files from following folders:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ Adobe PCD
Launch the product and activate again with new serial number
Or you can try these as well .
Please disable protected mode and try.
Disable Enhanced Security option.
If possible, Uninstall and re-install Acrobat.
Regards
