Acrobat Reader

"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." I tried different versions, no avail. I think it has to do with the password somehow, but I do not know. I can copy the files from the web folder to my desktop and they open fine (after entering the password AGAIN), but I can not open them directly form the web folder - it does not ask for the password again, just pops up the error. Adobe's support really upset me (insert explicative here) by keeping me on the phone for 20 min, collecting all sorts of information about me (not the problem) with some lady who barely spoke English, just to tell me to go to the website. No surprise they need to charge for tech support, customer service is doing everything but "service". I hate companies that do this. I am thinking of using another PDF reader, I have heard good things about them. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software Has anyone ever been able to find a fix

Adobe Reader DC Free will crash as soon as a file is opened from file explorer or desktop at first attempt to edit a fillable document. It does not crash when I open a file from within Adobe Reader DC Free. I have .dmp logs pulled from the last two attempts.

I've been using Reader on multiple documents that have links to jump between places within the document.  This behaves much like an HTML hyperlink (one that jumps to content in the same document, anyway). Unfortunately, unlike web browsers, Reader does not have a BACK button.  So every time I want to jump back to where I was, I have to issue a search.  Inconvenient at best. Where could I post a suggestion to add BACK button?

Hello! In my job, I have been tasked with making PDF documents accessible. I am currently using the paid version of Adobe Acrobat Pro (64 bit), the CommonLook plug in to further remediate these documents, and JAWS Screen Reader to test whether these documents are actually accessible. In doing this, I found that signature blocks (created using the Prepare Form function) are very difficult to complete for somebody who cannot see. For example, once you click on a signature block, or hit enter, the pop up will appear, but the screen reader does not receive any prompt to read anything. The user can hit the tab key to go to the next section/interactive button in the pop up, but this is not obvious or intuitive. A blind user will likely assume that the action did not work. Additionally, when a document is signed in this way, Adobe requests/requires the signed document to be saved under a different name or select that the document is allowed overwrite the previous version. This pop u

Hello:We have some computers with Acrobat Reader  & New Outlook for Windows.  When the user opens a PDF file clicking on the mail icon the program use to launch the email client (old outlook for windows 2016) and attach the file to the message so we can write the rest of the fields and then send the e-mail. Since the new outlook for windows was installed we get an error saying there is no email associated. we have the new outlook for windows set at the default email client in the control panel (windows 10)So for now we cant attached the pdf  to an email from adobe reader. Is there any solution?. Any help is appreciated/ Thanks, chris

I recently replaced my computer and can no longer download my eBooks to my Nook glowlight via Adobe Reader.I've downloaded the most recent version of Adobe and changed my password.Other discussions state to resolve this issue, all we have to do is authorize our computer by logging in... However, when attempting to log in to Adobe Digital Editions, I get the following error message:"You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices.  Please try again."HOW are we supposed to do this?!?

Hallo zusammenSeit einiger Zeit habe ich das Problem, dass wenn ich ein PDF öffnen möchte, sich der Acrobat Reader sich zuerst öffnet, danach kommt ein Fenster mit der aufforderung, ein Abo zu lösen. Wenn ich dann auf Abbrechen gehe (habe keine andere möglichkeit, da ich ja nicht abonieren möchte) wird der Acrobat Reader geschlossen.In meinem Profil steht zwar, dass ich berechtigt bin, das Programm zu nutzen. Zudem meinte ich dass der Acrobat Reader gratis ist.Ich habe schon versucht, neu zu installieren, hat aber auch nichts gebracht. Kennt jemand von euch dieses Problem?Danke für Rückmueldungen.LG Elisabeth

There is no error code.I did everything I could: uninstalled the old version and removed the empty folders, re-downloaded, I have no connection problems, checked the PC with the antivirus, cleaned the system registry, updated Visual C, updated Java, but to no avail. What can I do?I use newly updated Windows 10.Thanks for any suggestions. 

Hello, I have created an adobe form through the prepare a form option. When I add the unique text to the fields and select the appropriate check boxes everything looks good on my end (before picture added). However, after the last adobe update, when I then go to e-sign the request e-signature, all the formatting changes. Allcheck boxes now default to unchecked and the formatting no longer uses the multiline option (even though its selected) so text run outside text box. This form has been used for years and I completely rebuilt the form to make sure it was something within the old form. Please help!

Hello Everyone, I looked a lot and asked the technical people at adobe, but couldn't solve the problem.  I have some Japanese documents and only the fonts of the header become gibberish, while the main body of the documents looks OK. The file is secured so I can't control the fonts. In some other files I was able to change the fonts and the problem was solved. But not in this case, the files I'm dealing with are protected. When I view them online there is no problem, but when I open them on the software, header goes crazy. $ [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]
