In 'my computer' pdf files have suddenly refusing to open in adobe reader 8 and 10. OS is XP sp2. the file appears for a split second and disappears. What needs to be done?

My PC is running windows xp, sp2. Previously, I copied several PDF files on the net and stored in my documents and periodically SURFs on the pages. All of a sudden, the appearance of the Office has migrated to the default settings, but they have been reset. Regarding pdf files that have been copied through adobe reader 8.2 for my ducuments they refuse to open, even after the upgrade to version 10.0.1(current de lecteur) the file is displayed for a split second and disappears. Clean your PC with Avast does not indicate something wrong. Went to RUN regedit .exe and checked in all the boxes of the machines:-key-local etc. to permit and permission, but they were of no use. How to remedy this. ? Can I format Adobe and reloaded via net? Please give me a solution.

Took a while to get here. Try using the PDF reader.
 
 
If the files try to open it with Adobe, create a file association.
 
Right-click on the file.
Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
Click: Choose [default] program.
Letter: Foxit Reader.
Check: Always use the selected program to open this type of file.
Click OK.

  • PDF file generated from Reporting SERVICES hangs when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "optimized for fast web view."

    Large pdf (over 1000 pages) generated files form SSRS crashes when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "Optimized for fast web view" activated. This saves fine with disabling this option. However, our customers are not ready to accept this solution because they do not want to change any settings. Please suggest if we should create a ticket with microsoft for SSRS allow the generation of pdf quick display of Web pages or is it an option in Adobe to fix this problem without changing the settings.

    The SSRS file has Fast Web View: 'No' and that's how Microsoft SSRS generates these files.

    Thank you for the complete maxwyss response

    As you have indicated, the PDF SSRS seems to have some elements that are quite similar to be supported for fast web view.

    We asked customers to disable the fast web view, but the customer is big enough to make a change individually on their machines and so were looking for a solution.

    I saw in several forums and a few discussions here as well as disable the fast web view option works for pdf fails.

    Which was just wondering if its known that multiple PDFs genarted by third parties may have problems with the optimization, the Save as optimized for fast web view could be disabled by default installation of acrobat reader rather than be enabled by default

    Thanks again for the reply!

  • Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    I tried to do this by using the search but it will find only them, if they occur as a long chain, that is to say "Here's the answer" rather than how they occur in the document it is to say "Here 's" a bunch of information that leads you to 'the answer'. The search feature so standard did not help.

    Then I tried to do this by using the tool to delete (obviously not the application of writing!) because it allows me to search for multiple words or phrases, however it is not highlight what page both are found. I tried to turn on the preference to enable deletions of comments and even if it meant that I could then go through all the comments, it's still not faster than my document is more than 1,000 pages, which meant there were too many total comments for me to be able to easily identify which page had both.

    Any ideas?

    There is no built-in way to search for two strings and limited to show only the results that appear on the same page.

    It can be done by using a custom script, however.

  • Cannot open some pdf files by clicking on them, but can open in Adobe Reader 10.1.0.

    When I click directly on some PDFs that have been saved in My Documents, I get an error message: "before you proceed you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement."  Yet I can open these files in Adobe Acrobat, they open easily.  This only occurred with the two credit card companies registered PDF files; My PDFs of Bank and other PDF documents can be opened without first opening Adobe Acrobat.  Is there some security block, I need to cancel or?  (I am the administrator of these files.)  I did a reinstall and repair, but this did not help.  (I use Adobe Reader 10.1.0 on Windows 7)

    Hello

    You can try and turn the Mode protected in Adobe Reader 10.1.0. That should solve the problem.

    You can do the same in:

    1 launch the player and go in Edition > Preferences.

    2. in the General category, check the corresponding chekbox to "Activate the Safe_mode at startup"

    3. click Ok and close the player. This should allow to open a PDF file with no problems.

  • Computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds, the cursor disappears for a split second and the clock freezes and restarts.

    Original title: OS time questions continuum (microfeezes)

    It seems that my computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds approximately. My cursor disappears for a split second, and because the clock freezes and restarts, it displays a worst time of the day. Audio and video have the same gel splitsecond. The problem persists in safe mode. Dell Inspiron 1520, servicepack2 of vista running. I've never had any problems with this machine. Here's a video I took of the number: http://youtu.be/fbUeK8U7wHw

    I would like to know if there is other info/specifications that could be useful.

    Thank you.

    Good,

    1:
    Updated the chipset drivers even though it said I was with the best.

    2:
    Run a SFC scan, which revealed no violations of integrity or files not repaired.

    3:
    five hours and 8 infected files later, my computer is totally cleaned.

    I opened the event viewer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are many changes to the machine because it began to act up, which were intended to correct the problem. I installed the Service Pack 1, then 2, scan MS Safety and new chipset.

    I also ran a memory diagnostic, but all was well.

    What should I look for in the event viewer? I know that the problem started in a 12 hour window. Should I save and post the logs at the time?

    There is a certain mystery. We need Sherlock Holmes.

    -UPDATE

    I have reset the system to its factory settings. Now, it's as if it were new.

    The problem persists. He still hiccupping. It freezes again for a few milliseconds about once per second. And I'm going crazy.

    UPDATE 2-

    The computer was closed for about 12 hours and when it restarted and Windows initialization complete, the problem disappeared. It works normally for a vintage computer 2007. I'll let you know if I learn more.

  • How to automate so that pdf is always open in Adobe Reader ms in Windows 10

    Hello

    I need your expertise to solve the problem that I am facing currently. In this discussion, I'll write you what my needs are, how I use it and what problems are to come.

    My requirement-> In my organization, my client has a specific requirement that after they installed "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC", any pdf file should be opened in Adobe Reader DC editor only. For Windows 7, there is no problem. We have Adobe Reader DC scripted to open all PDFs in MS only, but for Windows 10, these mechanism were not working. In Windows 10, all pdf files open in Microsoft Edge by default. Now the user may have the ability to change default pdf file association (Control Panel-> set default Program Association) so that it will only open in Adobe Reader MS, but we are not allowed to think about this scenario because as a guy Packer SCCM deployment and Application, I need to automate everything. So, the scenario will be after you have installed Adobe Reader DC, opens in DC only.

    Best regards - I downloaded Adobe Customization Wizard 11 and from there also, I chose to make the default player. In WIndows 7, it works fine but the problem is in Windows 10.

    How do I use--> I have studied and found that in the registry location - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf. If you delete it. PDF key, so for that particular user, the Microsoft association Edge breaks and after that, you enter this value

    AcroExch.Document.DC = 0 (DWORD) under 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithProgids' will solve the problem.

    But the question was to come because, under this key .pdf, there is a registry subkey under the name of "UserChoice" which cannot be changed by default. Yes, it sounds strange, but it is true that although user still HKCU don't have permission to change the key "UserChoice". And that's why, I'm not able to delete the entire registry key '.pdf '.

    But when I checked manually unless give you permission for this key ".pdf" and grant all permissions for the group "Domain users" and go to advanced and check the box 'Replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable this object', then you will be able to remove all of the key ".pdf". I checked this manually and it works and it also so open any pdf in the DC Editor. And this is the reason why I use the SetACL.exe file.

    How do I use file-> SetACL.exe I created an empty file msi (Windows Installer) and I called this SetACL.exe in the Active configuration. I created a custom action with condition "NOT DELETE" so that this custom action will run for each user for the first time.

    The vbscript code that I wrote inside the Custom Action is.

    Set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")

    Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    SourceDir = Left (wscript. ScriptFullName, Instrrev (wscript. ScriptFullName, '-'))

    Path=WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%") "

    path = path & "\DC\SetACL32.exe".

    If fso. FileExists (path) then

    CmdLine1 = path, Chr (34) & Chr (34) & "-on" & Chr (34) & "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf" & Chr (34) & "- ot reg - actn ace - ace" & Chr (34) & "n: Users; p:full"& Chr (34) &" setprot - actn-op "& Chr (34) &"dacl:np"& Chr (34) & ' - clear actn - clr" & Chr (34) & "dacl" & Chr (34) & "rstchldrn - rst - actn" & Chr (34) & "dacl" & Chr (34)

    WshShell.Run cmdline1, 0, True

    CmdLine2 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice" & Chr (34)

    cmdline3 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithProgids" & Chr (34)

    cmdline4 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithList" & Chr (34)

    cmdline5 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf" & Chr (34)

    WshShell.Run cmdline2, 0, True

    WshShell.Run cmdline3, 0, True

    WshShell.Run cmdline4, 0, True

    WshShell.Run cmdline5, 0, True

    End If

    Now manually this script works fine but when I use it through MSI, it doesn't quite work.

    Please help me. Y at - it another way to automate so that the PDF file opens in Adobe Reader ms.

    Kind regards
