Error 103 103 when embebed

[hefame_optica]

Hi.

Since last update (2019.012.20034) when an app try to open a pdf embebed into the own aplication (p.e. SAP) an error 103.103 is launched and no pdf is viewed.

Version Acrobat 2019.010.20099 works fine.

We disabled security enhancement but it's sill failing. When disabled acrobat extension in internet explorer, it works in most applications, opening the acrobat reader, but not working 100%

We disabled the acrobat update service but it's still updating (for example, when we open a pdf from internet explorer, acrobat updates itself)

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for Reaching out to us for your Concerns.

Could you please let me know exactly how do you embed the PDF into that SAP application and how is the application trying to open that PDF in Adobe Reader DC ?

Could you please share a snapshot of the error or a Screen recording of the workflow for the issue that you are facing .

you can send it at ajain@adobe.com

Also Can you please try a workaround and see  if this fixes the issue ?

1) Launch Adobe Reader

2) Open "Edit -> Preferences" and select "Security (Enhanced)"

3) Untick (uncheck) the setting "Enable Protected Mode at startup"

4) Try to Relaunch PDF now and see if this fixes your issue ?

Thanks

Ayush

I have same problem with a lot of website with IE and Adobe Reader add-on

If I try to open a PDF internally the browser, I receive the same error 103:103 after 5-6minutes waiting

Reader Version 2019.012.20034

In my case ...

Temporary workaround is disable Reader add-on in IE

Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at Startup" doesn't work.

The issue is present in a lot of computers in our environment that receive the latest update of the reader

Hi,

We are expierencing the same problem with embedded PDF's in Dynamics AX.

• OS: Windows 10 and Server 2012R2
• Adobe Acrobat version: 2019.012.20034

We also expierence problems with printing from embedded PDF, saving to local storage ("Acces denied") and email directly as an attachement does not work.

It occured before in a october 2018 release.

Enabeling protected mode does not help.

Disabling advanced security does show the file again, but does not solve my printing problems.

Clearing Appdata Local and Roaming, no luck.

[hefame_optica]

We disabled protection mode Via GPO and user can not enable it.

I send you an email.

Thanks.

OS: Windows 7

Adobe Acrobat Reader 2019.012.20034

Issue: when you open a pdf file inside the browser Internet Explorer 11, the browser hangs, it gives error 103:103 after some minutes.

It seems that if you set the following registry key with value "1" then it works:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown

"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000001

[jodyg23182475]

We are also seeing the same issue.

OS: Windows 7 and Windows 10

Adobe Reader DC 2019.012.20034

When trying to view PDF's within our HIS software, we only see grey screen and then get the 103:103 error.  Windows event logs show:

Seeing same error also.

We need answers! Seems with bprotectedmode reg key set to 1 it works but then printing is having a problem so 1 fix creates another problem.

[andreaso51641770]

we´ve got the same problem with embedded PDFs in IE11 (Terminalserver 2008 R2 with ProtectedModes disabled through gpo) Problem started with last update of adobe reader dc (2019.012.20034)

[chrish76956468]

Can confirm that this 2019.012.20034 update breaks ie11 32-bit plug-in when protected mode is set to OFF.

Setting it on it will work, but then you get the bug where lots of sites can't print

[jodyg23182475]

We have found that deleting all history, and files from IE (RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351) and then resetting IE to defaults (rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl ResetIEtoDefaults) cleared all issues for us.  I scripted both of these functions to run as a login script and have had no issues since.

[ralfh8237982]

Hello soumik011

cann you pls explane your script or list it.

We have problems with the user interaction with "rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl ResetIEtoDefaults". Is there a way to cancel the user interaction?

best regards

Ralle

[jodyg23182475]

Run this as a VBScript:

'IE Reset Automation

Set objAP = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

objAP.Run "rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl ResetIEtoDefaults"

wscript.sleep 1000

objAP.AppActivate "Reset Internet Explorer Settings"

objAP.SendKeys "%p", True

wscript.sleep 1000

If objAP.AppActivate("Reset Internet Explorer Settings") Then objAP.SendKeys "%r"

wscript.sleep 2000

If objAP.AppActivate("Reset Internet Explorer Settings") Then objAP.SendKeys "%c"

wscript.sleep 2000

If objAP.AppActivate("Reset Internet Explorer Settings") Then objAP.SendKeys "%c"

[1212john]

We have reset IE but the problem comes back the same day.

[soumik011]

Hello eveyone,

We are directly working with one of user facing this issue. We will get back on this as soon as we have an update/fix.

We are also experiencing the same issue since Adobe Reader DC updated with 2019.012.20034.  Please let us know as soon as you have a resolution.

[yasnk47639233]

We also seem to be having the same issue since Reader update

[soumik011]

Hi All,

We are working on a fix for this issue and the same will be released in upcoming Acrobat Reader update. As a workaround we would suggest you to ‘Enable’ Protected Mode in Reader.

Steps:-

1) Launch Adobe Reader

2) Open "Edit -> Preferences" and select "Security (Enhanced)"

3) Tick the setting "Enable Protected Mode at startup"

4) Relaunch application

If the setting is disabled through GPO, please contact your IT Administrator to provide an update accordingly.

Regards

Soumik

[LuxNewham]

Thank you Soumik for the update.

Apparently enabling Protected mode breaks printing.  Do you have any ETA on this fix?

Also users with large size (79mb) PDF file experiencing freezing when scrolling.  This also started after 2019.012.20034 update.

Are you aware of this?

Many thanks

Lux

Enabling "protective mode" didn´t work for us.

Reverting back to 19.010.20099 fixes the problem for us at the moment

Hi, i've the same problem 2 years later... There is another "known incompatibility"?

[Jose Luis218754667z7y]

Hola buenos días.

En mi empresa ocurre lo mismo desde este viernes.

En ciertos equipos no se pueden previsualizar los documentos PDFS  y obtenemos el mismo error que el aquí comentado.

Alguna noticia sobre esto?
