Keith General, "Adobe Reader able to be hacked?"

Hi, I got a lot of PDF files.  Reader prevents the embedded such as binaries and scripts files to be extracted and executed?

Thank you

Keith General

Yes, Adobe Reader has a very strong "Hourglass" that prevents these attacks, but as with anything there is no 100% guarantee.

    Just to clarify: you cannot turn pages with Acrobat Reader permanently but temporarily, you can rotate the view: on the file menu, click view | Rotate the view | Clockwise or counterclockwise.

    You can also add controls to display rotation in the Tools menu.

  • How to make adobe reader software copy not able

    Hello

    I'm with adobe reader 9, I need to create a PDF using MS, and I would not want the text to copy.

    check the parameter, the content copable of security: authorized

    But I don't know how I can do it unauthorized.

    Or any way to make the content not copy-able.

    Because I told my boss just use photoshop and save them in PDF format.

    and he wanted it to be simpler, he wanted it is done directly from MS,

    and he wanted to create restricted content

    Thank you

    Alex

    You should get Acrobat. It allows more options conversion to PDF format and allows you to set up the type of security you're looking for and much more.

  • I have a document on my Adobe Reader software that I want to delete, and I'm not able to do, can anyone help me?

  • Numeric keypad is not working properly with the Adobe Reader Plugin

    Greetings;

    I had this strange problem with several workstations where the numeric keypad does not work correctly when you open a PDF file via the web browser. Things, I tested and noted:

    -Regardless of the State of the numlock (or disable) keys act as if NUMLOCK is off. Based on 9 and 3 will cause the page up and page down respectively. Striking at 7-4 will cause beginning and end to occur etc. 0 creates the ~ while the symbol of the keys work as expected.

    -The numeric keypad works on other programs. The numeric keypad works even in the same browser, you opened the PDF file but not in the actual form.

    -The numeric keypad works if you save and open the same PDF file in Adobe Reader, but does not work with the plugin.

    -Seems not to matter of this PDF it is, regardless of who seem to have made it (I used PDF files from the DMV and other sites of the Government for tests). The problem persists despite everything.

    -It doesn't seem to matter what browser you use. I saw this happen to IE10, IE11 (32 or 64-bit), and Chrome. I have tried Firefox, but I imagine that the problem will be the same if you are using the Adobe Reader Plugin.

    -It does not matter what version of the player. I saw the same problem with drive DC 10 and 11.

    -J' ran these without any add-ons or plug-ins and the problem persists.

    -J' I reset the browser settings, reset the default values, cleared the cache.

    -Disconnect the keyboard and moving to a different USB port allows you to use the numeric keypad as usual, but once you restart the issue will resume.

    -Uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver allows you to use the numeric keypad as usual, but once you restart the issue will resume.

    -J' tried the official and generic keyboard drivers.

    -J' tried different keyboards from different manufacturers.

    -PDF viewer of Chrome or another Viewer PDF/writer will work. But unfortunately, this isn't a solution for us because of the site we access performs a check if the plugin is Adobe Reader. If it's not Adobe Reader, it does not display the PDF file.

    -J' have enabled Mode Touch in Reader.

    -I was not able to test this on one other operating system other than Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    -I can put it so the browser opens the PDF file directly to the Adobe Reader app, it's not quite a solution perfect for us because it create additional steps for our users to submit PDF files.


    I'm quite lost and would like to get help from the community. Thank you very much.



    Fixed my own problem. I answer this with a resolution:

    The question is the Protected Mode. You can find this setting in Adobe Reader. Preferences > Security > uncheck Protected Mode. In Adobe Reader X, you can find it under general.

    You don't need to restart your system.

  • Why Adobe insists on charge me $15 a month (on top of my $50 pm creative cloud subscription) for the Adobe Reader iOS ' upgrade '?

    It's robbery. Adobe Reader for subscription product iOS on iTunes store said that as that subscribed to Acrobat Pro (which is part of my CC account), I should be able to connect to Adobe Reader on my iPad and create PDFs from Office documents.

    Not true - actually it is BS!

    In fact, Adobe said I must have a subscription to Acrobat.com, or pay $15 pm on top of what I already pay for cloud creative, use Adobe Reader in this way.

    How Adobe can justify this? Isn't enough that they try to avoid paying taxes in Australia by charging me to Ireland?

    Now, they want to charge me more 25% more a month to get the same functionality on my iPad?

    They have a laugh!

    Hi GrattanGuru,

    Maybe it's a general message about Adobe Reader for Acrobat.com services.

  • Recently no matter what I do, Firefox does not allow me to use Adobe Reader rather than his own

    I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox built in. I tried everything that you suggest and what Adobe suggest. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I went to the options of Mozilla, but when I try to change the settings of Document Portable, I don't get the option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I get the Adobe forms but not for PDF documents. If I change to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then open drive which is not I want. I want to use the plugin installed (I go to modules and it is installed and "always enable").

    Help? This only started happening in the last month or two. I use the latest version of Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (updated with all the updates, etc.).

    I did a Reset Firefox. Then reactivated the plugins. Now he works with the Adobe Acrobat plugin, even if Firefox think (at least according to the Options-> Applications) that he uses the Foxit plugin. It does not give me the option to select the Macromedia software. But which loads when I access a PDF file!

    As long as there is the work, I don't care on this issue.

    Before that I started posting here, I already tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader, by removing the file pluginreg.dat, etc. and everything that I could find on the Mozilla site, the Adobe site and the rest of the web.

    Thank you for all your help.

  • Cannot install Adobe Reader!

    Hello. I had to bring my Mac, but for now it only works on 10.5.8. I am trying to install Adobe Reader, but the new version does not work. I've done some looking to find a version that did, and they (Adobe) say that the X version work. Now when I try to download an older version of them, it does not work, giving me the error "following failed install step: run the script preinstall for payload.» This is for version XI, which should still work. When I try to use the Adobe Web site to download the older versions, the site goes down only to OS X 10.6.4. I found a site of Adobe for older versions which had version 10.1, but when I downloaded and installed, the installer wanted to select a player version to update. Of course, I didn't drive, so there is nothing to update.

    So I'm stuck. I can't find a version 9.4, Intel, or a reliable download for the 9.5. I would like to be able to download and work with PDF files, but for now, all I have found.

    Any help is appreciated.

  • Recommended Firefox I uninstall adobe reader software that I think my system because of bad reviews. That will effect my programs adobe as a whole?

    I'll always be able to open PDF documents in my web browser if the adobe reader software is uninstalled?

    Firefox has a built-in PDF file reader.
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/view-PDF-files-Firefox-without-downloading-them

    The problem with Adobe Reader isn't the popularity or 'poor user comments', it is because there are several security issues with Adobe products, which never seem to get fixed. Most web browsers have their own daughter PDF readers these days, which allow the user to view these files in the browser without needing a plugin.

  • FireFox knows not that adobe Reader Plugin is a more recent version. Why?

    Operating system is Windows Vista with all updates. By using the version of Adobe Reader X 10.1.9. Verification of updates within the Adobe Reader program generates a message from Adobe that the software up to date, no update available. Firefox advises Adobe Plugin version 10.1.9 is vulnerable and update the plugin. Attempt to update from within Firefox connects with Adobe Update site. Attempt to update from the update site brings up a message from Adobe that the latest version of the software is installed. Please notify.

    The site checker plugin is not able of * store several versions of the Adobe Acrobat plugin than the current version. So, with apologies to users of Windows Vista, just neglect you plugin check site says this particular plugin and rely on the update of product to Adobe.

    * He pourrait rethinking to do this in the future, but it is currently not able to do this.

  • My toolbar Adobe Reader that lets save you, print, e-mail, etc. as the document in the browser window/tab is gone and I want to know how to get it back.

    I was unable to view PDF files in Firefox and would get a white screen telling me that I had to re - install Adobe. I did this and still he could not visualize the PDF files in the browser window or tab.

    Now that I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, I don't have the Adobe Reader toolbar which used to be a toolbar above a PDF file when displaying in the browser window or tab. I don't have the printer icon, icon of the diskette, email icon, page arrows to scroll upwards or downwards, the percentage of size, etc.. Is there a way to be able to have this toolbar again?

    Hi, I had the same problem. I fixed by changing the hand tool to the selection tool, clicking in the document and THEN by pressing F8.
