Is Adobe Reader safe to use now, or do we have a fraudulent message?
Last week we received a message allegedly from Adobe. He appeared onscreen in a wide range BEFORE we went online in our website to email, so he didn't come through our usual yahoo channels. He warned that Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76, Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 (and all previous programs) have been seriously wrong and there was evidence that Flash Player has been let by attackers. He said that the computer would crash and that's where they have the opportunity. Well our computer had crashed just before that and once since. He also recommended removing all affected Adobe kit and it relacing with updated versions.
We checked our Flash drive which was 10.0.45.2. -clearly older than the last. He recommended download of Flash Player 10.1.85.3. However when we have erased our Flash Player and asked the last update he only gave us 10.0.45.2 new! Why? (We have subscribed to the free package.)
However, it is somewhat irrelevant as this is the reader Forum. Whats important to say here is that currently, we withdrew ALL our kit from Adobe for fear it is unsecure: Flash Player, Reader and the plug-in.
My question to the reader is: is Adobe Reader 9.3.4 safe to use now? I contacted a colleague, who said hes only got Reader 9.1 on her, so if this message is true, then it is affected as well. Can anyone confirm if this message was from Adobe? What it na not go via yahoo, we have a record of it once we turned off, but assumed it was authentic, as Adobe usually comes to us this way. But we are reluctant to come back if it means trouble. Our computer is quite modern, uses windows and usually go us through Firefox.

in most programs, F11 will take you full screen. in adobe reader, you must use Ctrl-L. F11 can be added to adobe reader as a shortcut for mode full screen?
Hi hanekam123,
I'm sorry, that is not possible, that is how Acrobat/Reader is built. For drive mode, you can use Ctrl + L to fullscreen or Ctrl + H.

Adobe Reader Installer failed. Now I can't run, re - install or uninstall.
Tried to install Adobe Reader XI on my newly refreshed (new) Windows 8 desktop. After reaching 96% completion, the installer hanging for more than an hour, and in frustration I finally stopped via the Task Manager. I tried to reinstall it by running the installer from the website, and when that failed to do anything, I downloaded the full package on my drive. Run the installation of the package I downloaded anything also. A look at running processes show a couple Adobe Reader to background process, but does not consume significant system resources.
Drive does not appear in the list of installed programs in the Control Panel, so I can't uninstall it to try a clean install. I had enough problems with Windows 8, I envisage, cleaning the disc and go back to XP...
If you have a third installed anti-virus program, temporarily disable or uninstall.

Any ideas anyone?
Barry
Solution was simple: Trash the old reader app. Then press 'option GO' then go into "Library/Adobe Reader" and trash of all files on the drive. Then select the new file 'Install Reader'.
It works!

Adobe Reader Submit button using JavaScript
We have a form once submitted to use javascript to update the subject line of the e-mail message to our workflow process. This process works absolutely fine when using Acrobat. However, when sent to someone using Reader (even with JavaScript enabled in preferences) nothing happens when the button is clicked. The form has been designed in Acrobat Professional 10.
Here's the JavaScript code we use...
var wsuid = this.getField ("mywsuid");
var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth () + 1;
var day = d.getDate ();
year = var d.getFullYear ();
var today = ((''+month).length < 2?) ('0': ") + month + ' / ' + ((''+day).length < 2?) ('0': ") + ' / ' + day + year;
var name = this.getField ("name");
var object = "object:" + (wsuid.valueAsString) + ":" + (name.valueAsString) + ': ' + (today); "."
this.mailDoc({)
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]."
cCc:
bassujetti: object,
});Suggestions on comes to work with Acrobat Reader is much appreciated.

Okay, Yes... What happened, is that you choose an unfortunate name for your variable. You see, there is already a property of the subject called Document object, and it cannot be written to the drive. Even if you have defined your own variable with the same name, the script is to find that one first, where the error. Rename your variable to something else (like subjectLine) and it should work fine.

I bought the adobe reader from adobe but installed standard first pro. now, the 'pro' trial has expired and I can't use the "standard" functions How can I solve this in order to use Adobe Standard - one that I bought?
Hi Jodie,
There is no standard to pro versions of Adobe Reader.
You have downloaded the Acrobat version which is paid instead of Adobe Reader software.
As the trial has expired, then you won't be able to use it unless you have purchased the product.
However, you can download Adobe Reader for free using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions.
Kind regards

I leave acrobat from adobe, how can I read my PDF files now?
I can't even open my PDF files without dialog telling me that I need to subscribe first. I think it's pretty ugly, I can't access any PDF on my computer now because once I got adobe acrobat and don't want more. I need help.
Hi maryh71916491,
I would like to know exactly which version of the software installed on your system. If you use Acrobat Reader (for viewing PDF free versoion) & trying to make changes with in the Document, and then you will receive this message because PDF files can be edited in Acrobat Pro. So, make sure that you open the file in the appropriate program.
If you want to just display the pdf file, you can open it in Adobe Reader, you can use this link to download the latest Adobe Reader DC:- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions
Also, you can share the screenshot of the message you are getting.
Kind regards

Signing in Adobe Reader using XI signed with certificate grayed out
We recently released Adobe Reader XI, we use internally an integrated Adobe Acrobat Microsoft Certificate Server to digitally sign pdf documents using digital certificates, this works on Adobe Acrobat Standard for XI.However it seems that Adobe reader has the options under sign > "works with certificates" but everything on the Menu shows greyed out. Are there settings that must be enabled for this make it functional?
Hi bossombritto,
Please see the links below, can be a great help:-
- Impossible to sign documents with certificate (sign and send a PDF file)

Hello people.
If I'm in the wrong forum, might well want to suggest a more appropriate forum?
It is a pretty basic question.
I downloaded the SDK and watched, but I'm still a little uncertain. Simply because there is a ton of information to this site, and it's all new to me.
I have a Visual Studio MFC application. (Visual Studio 2008)
I want to change the application to read a PDF form to fill out, and I want to programmatially fill in some of the data in the field as it appears on the screen. This could be considered writing a PDF file, but I think it's only complete, because I can do this with Acrobat Reader. I assume that there is an API available to do this.
I saw something on IAC, then maybe that where I need to study.
I'm the developer. I need to buy Adobe Acrobat? Or is the right drive for this?
My customers will need to purchase Adobe Acrobat? Or the drive will be enough?
It's one thing for me as a developer to buy the tool to improve enforcement, but another question, if I go to the end users and tell them that they need to buy and install Adobe Acrobat.
I'm not afraid to have a discussion, I just want to know ahead what debate, I need to have.
Are there different APIs available for different Windows OS? One for XP for Vista 32-bit, one for Vista 64-bit, for Windows 7... etc.
Or is this the same way, regardless of the platform?
I'm looking for advice.
All would be appreciated.
Thank you
The only way to fill a form in Adobe Reader is to use the file in FDF or XFDF format. They are text-based formats that you can put the form data and a link to the PDF document in and then ask the REader to open it (and the associated PDF file) upwards and fill automatically.
You can't poll drive for more information, however.
Maybe you are looking for
