Acrobat Reader DC automatically installation and default configuration
Hello
I have Adobe Acrobat installed XI and it's been great. But recently, it seems that Acrobat Reader installs in the background and when I try to open a PDF from an email, that he wants to become the default program - it asks me to accept the terms, etc. and then proceeds to open the PDF in reader instead of Acrobat XI. The only way to stop doing is to uninstall the player. But he managed to sneak his way in a few days and we dance all over again. Me embarrassing her to the point of use of expletives. Can someone tell me how to banish forever Reader?
See you soon
Ian

How can I get Acrobat Reader XI back as my default? I'm more able to edit PDFs with Acrobat Reader DC.
Adobe Reader XI could not change the files. Do you have Adobe Acrobat (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader)?
If so, you should always have well if you have installed the free player it will open by default pdf files.
Check to see if you still have (or had initially) XI Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro) and we'll see if we can get repaired.

I have a group of people who use the e-mail feature (by clicking on the button send in the toolbar) to CD player to attach a PDF file to an e-mail. The e-mail program is Microsoft Outlook, and they have problems with Acrobat Reader DC automatically populate the subject line under the name of the attachment. Because they are such a volume of emailing from within the program, it becomes a chore after remove the subject line all day. I looked throughout the program - in the preferences and all around, in general and could not find a way to disable this option. Older versions of Acrobat Reader don't fill automatically the subject line in Outlook as CD player doesn't.
Anyone have an entry about it?

Somehow, I downloaded and installed Adobe alleged DC update for the existing acrobat Reader installed on my laptop.
DC app has been a disaster for me in terms of generation of convoluted navigation and extra work.
In addition, I do NOT trust or want an application based on a cloud because of the deep and hard-learned risk, privacy and security, as well as the occasional loss of connectivity online and access, what urgent needs can get GROUND in terms of use of such an external cloud-based application.
Issues related to the:
[1] how to save a PDF downloaded and open directly on my laptop, a report file to save the file in the cloud and then copying it in the folder of the laptop? This process in several steps inside the DC is a frustrating PITA, as Adobe Acrobat Reader has been sufficient for my needs.

Hi stephenf95557665,
(1) you can simply save the file on your computer as allows you to save in the older version of the player, it is not necessary to register I your cloud of document.
If you save the file to the document cloud, you will be able to access any system from anywhere.
(2) If you still think earlier version users need, then they can probably uninstall the last being & reinstall the old version using this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Kind regards

Acrobat Reader DC works fine and opens a PDF file without problem - until I have a word document open as well-, then the PDF file crashes. I can't open a PDF file, a word document is also open.
For troubleshooting, you can disable the Protected Mode (https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/protected-mode-windows.html#id_94783) and see if that solves the problem. If the problem persists, please re-enable the Protected Mode to improve safety.
Let us know how it goes.

Disable features/services online in Acrobat Reader ms?
With the new update, being released from Reader Acrobat Reader DC, I have problems with the use of the cloud storage and store sensitive data.
I looked around and the only information I've found how to turn off these new features are in reference to groups that use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, which means that they would execute this version business.
I installed and tested the new Acrobat Reader DC under Windows and OS X, there is no obvious option to disable the services that I'm talking about.
Services that I am referencing:
- Adobe cloud storage service
- Sending and tracking documents
- Synchronization with several devices (for the use of the cloud storage)
Is it possible to disable the use of these services on an installation of an individual (not business) to Acrobat Reader DC?
Thanks in advance!
You can use the DC Adobe Customization Wizard on both versions of CD (classic or perpetual).
You can also use the Windows registry to disable these services.
Workflow (integration Services)
These preferences allow integration with Document cloud services.
This preferences category contains the following subfeature (s):
- Mobile link
- Services (Acrobat.com: 11.x and earlier versions)
- Services (EchoSign: 11.x and earlier versions)
- Services (SharePoint-Office365)
- Services of integration (11.x and earlier versions)
- Integration of services (DC)
- Synchronizer
Integration of services (DC)
These settings for DC products replace those used by 11.x and earlier versions. By default, Adobe online services are perfectly integrated into the user interface so that users can leverage in the business workflows. Adobe services are changing rapidly and allow your organization to increase its effectiveness with zero infrastructure and management costs.

How can manual uninstall older versions of Acrobat Reader?
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. After meeting with sound problems, that Microsoft support has failed to solve, I returned to Windows 7. Unfortunately, Acrobat Reader with automatically deleted in the process. I am now having trouble to reinstall Acrobat Reader. The installer downloads, but the installation stops and it is an error message reading: "the component you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource." Click OK to try again or enter another path to the folder containing the installation package "ArcoRead.msi" in the box below.
I think what I have to do is to make sure that all versions previous and their components have been removed. How to do this manually? Also Windows uninstaller fails to remove previous, perhaps damaged or incomplete versions.

I have two Dell laptops, one was my mother and the other is mine (Inspiron 15xx and 1750). I deleted down two laptops using the restore factory images stored on computers. I want that they fully working before I sell them or given the to a friend or relative.
When I try to install Flash or Acrobat Reader, I first download and then run the installation program and then nothing happens, no screen of welcome, no please, wait or loading... dialog box, no error message, just absolutely nothing.
I am a programmer with a degree in computer programming and I built my own computer, reinstalled, installed drivers, software and firmware, so I thought I should be able to solve this problem, but as the still I had no luck so far.
I have:
(1) installed all Windows updates
(2) installed Windows Vista SP2
(3) installed the updates of BIOS, drivers, software and firmware from Dell.
(4) installed the last IE v7 to v9 present. (This fixes my problem to Skype "Sorry, we couldn't connect to Skype")
(5) installed the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistribution.
(6) searched on the internet for the solution and followed a few steps that I thought looked promising but no solution so far.
(7) I checked the logs install but they are empty either, I can't find the directory, or there is no log file here.
For me the main problem is that I don't get any information, i.e. None of the error messages or logs, which makes it very difficult to seek solutions that are specific to my problems. Anyone who can help me to identify the problem, it is find a mistake or a newspaper that shows where the problem is, would help me tremendously and close me solve the problem.
I think I need to install some type of update will miraculously fix the problem, as point 4 above, where IE upgrade to v 9 fixed my problem of Skype, but I have no idea what it would be.
Thank you in advance for all help me and I hope that this forum will help others.
Thanks Abzyx.
I use Firefox all the time and I would have downloaded Flash while in Firefox, but the download never worked. The only solution that worked for me was what I mentioned in the post above (message number 7).
Yes your right, I did not mention on the PDF reader, thanks for pointing that out.
I noticed that you mentioned using another like Sumatra PDF reader, so I had to look that.
I found that Nitro and Sumatra where 2 alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Reader. Nitro looked like a more advanced system, but it does not work. Sumatra seems simpler, but as PDF readers go, if I can read a PDF file, which is fine for me, Sumatra has worked well.
Research on the internet I found a video that has been really good for my problem. I'm looking for 'acrobat reader vista' and the 4 down link was a youtube video called "Install Adobe Reader in Windows Vista" on the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wAki19nDSY
After you follow the instructions in the video, I am Acrobat works.
Basically, I went to the URL of the video: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
Then try to find the most recent version, so I tried 11.0.16, but this does not work, the video shows using 10.0.0, so I thought I would try to use 11.0.0 and if this does not work, try the version 10.0.0. I found version 11.0.0 worked for me then once installed, I checked for update in Acrobat Reader and now I 11.0.8 and this seems to be the best version of work for my computer.
Thank you again Abzyx and everyone who help me by posting your comments. By studying what has been mentioned, internet search and try different installers and more clear, I found what I was looking for.
